Drop a live grenade when killed

For sure it's taking a very long time. But when even republican women are seeing how whitemen vote and coming out to oppose them aboutabortionin Kansas , in Michigan, in several white supremacist based states, often men and white people are shocked Truly killing your daughters for Christian supremacy isn't popular with republican women . So much that American men took for granted is falling apart because women always hated it .

Actually just spent a little bit reading the rules to see if this was an appropiate post, I really do not know how to use reddit so forgive me for that. If it's not, mods you're welcome to take it down and I apologize in advance. Also, English isn't my first language and I've never lived in a English speaking country, fair warning.
So, for whoever cares to read, here are some thoughts about what I've been feeling ever since that 1st of july (My timezone) when the video we all know by heart was uploaded. This probably should have stayed in my phone notes, it's going to be a long one haha.
I have never been an "active fan", never an active chatter, never leaving comments, never really speaking in discords from the fandom. Just really watching from afar and enjoying these amazing people in silence.
I wonder about when they started to feel like friends, unbeknownst to me. I didn't really realize how much they felt like friends until july 1st 2022, when I cried over the death of a person I had never spoken with, even once.
Just the day before, I had thought "I haven't seen Technoblade be active for a while, I wonder how he's doing, he said the surgery got rid of most of it." So, calling it a shock when I woke up to So long nerds would be an understatement.
My first reaction was to reject the sadness, as I was holding back tears (rather unsuccessfully), embarrased that it hurt me so much. I kept telling myself "He's not your friend, why are you crying over the death of someone you've never even met."
I was fully aware that I had cried over the death of people I didn't know before, but those times it was because of the situation, because of sympathy for the loved ones that just lost someone, because that person did something great for the world, etc etc. This was different, yes, of course some of my tears were because of those reasons, but this was different, this was more personal. I was crying because I felt like I just lost someone myself.
But how could I have lost someone? Techno didn't even know I existed, I didn't even know his real name until just now for god's sake. So, I rejected the feelings, it felt embarrasing, it felt silly.
What got to me the most was that, unlike many people, this wasn't my first rodeo with death.
The first one was when I was maybe 13 I think (For context, I'm from Spain and currently 22), I had lost contact with a few online friends from Mexico like 2 years ago. And suddenly one of them reached out to me.
"I have been trying to get in contact with you so much, I have something to tell you. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm sure you remember 'name'. A couple of months ago he was coming back from football practice and someone shot him from another car, he got hit in the face and died instantly."
I looked it up, they weren't lying. There were news articles about it. It was certainly a shock for 13 yo me, even though this person wasn't in my life anymore, I cried that night. The first time I had lost a friend to death. But still, I didn't cry much, not in comparison.
Then when I was 17 and 18? I'm not too sure, left my grandpa and my grandma respectively. My grandpa was a shock, yeah he was kinda old and needed a wheelchair and constant care, but he was relatively healthy. So I cried his death, only in my room, where no one could see. I managed not to shed a single tear in his burial, my family was already crying too much and my mother was devastated when she first saw that I had cried, so I didn't. I still cried his death every now and then. For my grandma, I only cried once. Not because I didn't love her, but because she had been dealing with parkinson for more years than I could remember. "It's better this way." I still tell myself to this day, she really wasn't living her best life.
However, for Techno? I'm still crying sometimes, not as much, obviously, but I think more about him than I thought I would. I don't understand why, I still feel a little embarrased about it like I did at first. I thought maybe making it public would force me to not be as embarrased so here's this post, under my actual ig name and not an anonymous one. Take that tomorrow me that will most certainly regret it, now you can't lurk anymore.
"How is it that I've cried more for a youtuber you never met than for my own grand mother?" I still don't know the answer to that question.
Earlier today I saw an old comic from a fanartist. Techno was in it and had a few spoken lines. It made me think about how the image of him is getting distorted, and it will only keep getting more distorted over time. His responses that I could have probably guessed correctly in 2021 I probably couldn't guess right now so confidently. It's not that I am forgetting him, but, I don't know how to explain it well enough, his memory will end up forming a "persona" in my head that probably isn't as accurate. It's not that big of a deal, but I thought of it and it bothered me a little. Maybe some of you can relate to that.
I would like to point out that I also remember the good times, I still laugh at old videos and clips and memories. I only cry sometimes, but the crying really does come as a surprise considering we are nearing the year and I've cried less for people closer to me. Especially since I wasn't even a 'stan', yes I watched all his new videos since 2019/2020 but I've never gone over all the old ones (except some random one youtube recommends) and watched every single stream or stuff like that. Honestly I missed most of the streams hahaha.
I wonder a lot about how he must have been feeling those last weeks, or even months, when he knew what was coming. That there wasn't a future anymore for him. From what I've read from Technodad, he was accepting of it. But listening to the last song he left us, the line "The sun outside is shining, seems like heaven ain't far away." Always makes me think about that.
Ever since his death, I've graduated university, and I have been looking for a job ever since so I haven't even been able to move out yet. My 'future' is just starting and he was robbed of his. Life just goes on and on, how unfair.
This is becoming less and less structured, it's 8:27 am and I still haven't slept. So I think I'll spare you all the rambling. If you've read up until this point, thank you. I hope you could see some of your own feelings about it in my words. I'm not the best with them, but if it resonated with you I'm glad.
By the way, the song 'This is the greatest show' would make a sick animatic about Techno, his friends, the fandom, and his dad taking over at the end. Maybe some day I'll make it, but if I'm honest I probably won't. So just putting it out there if anyone wants to try.
Goodbye for now, thank you again. (And sorry, this was so long)

My bf (23M) and I (24F) have been together for two and a half years now. We met when I was a student and I've just recently finished my studies. I am fortunate enough that I'm in a situation where my parents give me a monthly allowance for rent, food, etc and that is what I have lived off. I live together with my bf and because he is unemployed, we need to live off my allowance that is supposed to be for 1 person.
I'm very stressed about this situation because I have to pay for everything that he wants. For example, I bought him his car, I have to pay for his tax and insurance, his petrol, our food and bills, any clothes he wants, etc. I've also had to keep diving into my emergency savings because of things he wants that aren't necessarily "emergencies" but would be better to get sorted sooner rather than later.
Because of this, I haven't been able to buy myself anything in a while or do any of my hobbies. I eat 1 meal a day so that he's able to eat 2-3 meals. Recently, I got given a sum of pocket money from my family as a graduation gift and I'm having to spend most of it to get his car fixed and give him the leftovers because he wants to buy me an engagement ring (the original plan was that he would save up for one after getting a job, but he's changed his mind now that the extra money has come into my life).
I've told him today that I'm incredibly stressed about our financial situation. Thing is, he knows we're broke and he knows about every detail of my finances, but he still got annoyed with me and refused to talk to me about it because it puts him in a bad mood.
I've considered leaving him because ever since we got together, I've had no spare money and it's been a struggle for me. The only thing is, I'd feel terrible for leaving because of his unemployment. He left school at 16 and hasn't looked for a job because of mental health issues. He's been talking about getting a job recently, but he keeps changing his mind on if he wants to or not, and he only seems to apply for them once a month, if that.
I'm just not quite sure what to do about the situation. I'm so constantly upset and stressed because of it, but I'm not sure if there even is anything to do.
TL:DR my bf and I live purely off my allowance and it stresses me out how broke we are because of it

Let me start off by saying that I personally have never viewed the word “fat” as an insult nor have I ever used it as an insult. It’s simply a descriptor that has a negative connotation because of people’s awful perspective and treatment of plus-size people.
Only reason I choose to say “plus-size” in most cases is because I know how negatively people view the word “fat”, even when people who are actually fat describe themselves as such in a non-negative way.
I don’t judge or criticize people for their weight or body type, nor do I understand the urge to do that. It’s wild to me how normalized that is. This issue is particularly intense in Asian cultures (I am Taiwanese).
Anyways.
I am asking this question because my mom who is fat (she STRONGLY PREFERS to be described as “fat”, NOT “plus-size”, so please don’t come at me for this) is moving back to Taiwan next month after living in the U.S for three decades. She was born and raised in Taiwan, and she’s ALWAYS been fat no matter what she does. When she was a kid, both children and adults bullied her relentlessly for being fat. There were so many terrible, extreme reactions to her weight, such as people physically attacking her for being fat.
I know things have improved since then, but when I lived in Taiwan briefly several years ago, I received so much criticism about my body and weight as a skinny person. I’m petite and barely 130 pounds.
I’m just really worried about how my mom will be treated as someone who is over 200 pounds, especially with a physical disability (she got injured at work and hasn’t recovered since then). I worry about people trying to harm her because of her weight. She can handle negative comments about her weight, I’m not as concerned about that, but I’m thinking of all these fucked up scenarios in which people try to “punish” her for being fat.

Hi, I am 28 and am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with.
ABOUT ME
I am strong and healthy and like to maintain a balance in life between the indoors and outdoor environment. Outdoor activities involve riding on a jet ski in the ocean, mudding in an ATV, cycling climbing a volcano, or simply running on the beach.
I like to cook and bake and would love to do this for my future wife. I am also a Photographer as well and would love to be her private photographer. Any images you see on my profile, are junk photos that I was going to delete and posted anyway when I was trying out Reddit.
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME
Most people as in my employers, colleagues, and friends all say that I am a good person and am trustworthy, this goes all the way back to school, when I was the only kid whom the principal would ask to unlock her office, and then unlock a desk drawer that contained cash and other items. I am just being myself as I have always been, I do not see anything different or special about my behavior.
People say that when I make a mistake, I regret it and make changes to correct that mistake permanently as I believe that I am NOT perfect, and there are many areas where I can improve myself.
PERSONALITY
Kind, polite, respectful and try to look at things from an unbiased point-of-view. I hate arguments where people are screaming at each other and fighting as I get a headache when I get angry. I prefer to talk things out, however, in real life, there are people who like to scream when they are angry so that is okay by me.
I work hard, and I am always improving myself in education, and other areas of life. I love to try new things and learn new skills.
MY IDEAL GIRL
Job, education, and background do not matter as I understand that everyone is not born with the same luck and opportunities. Some girls become hookers or turn to online live cams due to the lack of opportunities in life, this is why I do not judge.
It does not matter if you are a heavy drinker or someone who is extremely violent because I know that deep down in your heart there is a personality that is kind and gentle. I know this because I have had friends who are like that. With me, they were nice and sweet. While with other people they were mean and had temper tantrums.
I think it is important to be honest at the start, as this will prevent disappointments later on.
Most girls want a husband who will never have s** with other girls and will only do it with them for the rest of their life. However, unlike other men, I do not want to do things secretly, as I strongly believe that trust is very important in a marriage.
I dove deep into myself and found out that I would prefer a wife who allowed her husband to have s** with another girl or even a threesome (her choice) with her.
I will always love my future wife, make memories together and be good to her. I will never love anyone else. S** with another girl is just for fun and NOTHING MORE, and I will never do it without my future wife not knowing about it
Many people will judge me, however, a lot of men cheat after agreeing to never do it, and I do not want to be one of them. This is why I have stated everything honestly, and clearly.
Send me a message and we can get to know each other better and see how things go.

45M and my brother is 38. He was imprisoned when his son, ‘mark’ was only two (he’s now 17). I took Mark in, raised him as my own. And Mark was the sweetest child you could have asked for. Polite and neat and wise beyond his years. When he got into his teenage years there was no rebellion. He was open and honest with me, at all times. He spoke his mind and stood up for himself when he thought proper. When he was fifteen he told me he had smoked marijuana immediately following, and he continues to be very transparent with it now. He’s always been like that. Determined, intelligent, a smart-ass- like his father-, and incredibly kind. I amazed at how kind he is in this world.
I let his father move in with us when he was released on parole. This was three months ago. I figured the transition might be easier for my brother, and Mark wouldn’t be in any danger if I was there to mediate. I didn’t think there’d be any physically at the time, I was concerned with the emotional aspect. Being reunited after so much time, Mark didn’t even remember him. This is largely my fault. I’ve spent fifteen years feeling guilty about it. They started getting along quickly. I thought everything was going okay.
But then Mark started acting out. He got snippy, he wouldn’t talk to me, he just closed off entirely. He’d only ever speak to his father, always alone, at night when I go to bed, the doors always locked. Mark had never locked his door before, and I don’t mind that he’s started, it was just a change. He started getting in arguments in school, stopped participating, closed off from his friends. And then the bruises started showing up. I was cautious about them, but I always had a plausible reason to excuse them, as did Mark. He’s rambunctious, he’s an explorer by nature. Always climbing and running around, he gets bruised. They started concentrating around his knees, never leaving. Started getting on his cheeks, his nose.
I thought maybe he closed off because of his father, because I kept them separated. But we talked about this, Mark told me it wasn’t so. I sat him down again because I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t trust his father, and I was scared for him. I asked him bluntly, did he hurt you? Is your father hitting you? And Mark just broke and told me yes, and he was scared and how dare I let him into our home like that.
That same day I told my brother to find somewhere else to live. I told him I know what he was doing to Mark, and I wouldn’t let him hurt him anymore. I love that boy more than anything, I’d die before letting him continue to be hurt by the man hes supposed to be able to look up to. My brother told me I had no right taking his son from him, and I had no idea what it was like to be a parent. I don’t know whether to feel as bad as I do or not about it, but I told him I’d been parenting every day for the last fifteen fucking years, picking up his slack so Mark could have any semblance of a normal life, and I told him he was more MY son than he’d ever be my brothers. I told him to leave, or I was calling the police, so he left.
I had Mark take pictures of all his injuries. He said he didn’t want to show me some of them, so the pictures are all in a file on his computer. When I told him I had kicked his father out, he blew up. He seemed more panicked than anything at first. He asked where he went, why I did that, if I told him what Mark had said. He demanded I let him back, said he wanted to see his dad again, and said he hated me. He said he hated me. I still can’t think of it without feeling pain. He hasn’t spoken to me since.
I’m terrified he’s going to hurt himself. We’ve had chats about it before, he’s told me he’s thought about it, and I’ve done it before so I know I could help him if he’d just stop shutting me out. But do I even have a right to ask him to let me in again? I’ve already failed him so much. I just want to help him, I want him to feel safe again.
I want my son back.

Whenever the pandemic happened, immediately, I just called every month for 3 years, without having to go in one time to get my subs.
They started in October seeing patients each month plus urinalysis, as before. I have been seeing this doctor for about 6 years.
I went in October. Tests are always clean. I’ve never failed one. So the next couple of months, I called and asked if I could just do a telahealth call and they gave me no issues until last month when they said I HAD to show up in person.
My primary doc switched me over to the nurse practitioner, who I still haven’t yet because last month when I arrived, I waited 3 hours in the back room. The nurse finally asked if I’d like to just do a telemedicine call since she was way behind, and she said my urine was clean of course. I live 3.5 hours from this place. So I inevitably had to wait for her to call me for my appt even though I was there for 3 hours.
I really wanted to speak and actually meet this lady to discuss just doing phone calls.
I’m just so confused. If I research Mississippi telahealth calls seem to be normal now and it’s all still done on the phone.
Do I legally have to go in if I’ve never failed and went 3 years without having to go in person?? Why does it matter NOW ? when it saves us ALL so much time and less stress and pain for me during traveling.
This probably makers no sense. I’m so exhausted

I'm moving out west due to a fantastic opportunity, and am considering UT since much of my family lives there. I'm worried that I'll have a hard time dating since most people are Morman
As an exmo (or to my family an inactive) I've expressed thus concern to some family members and they seem to think I could still date a church member. Their logic is that there are "less mormon mormans" that would be more in line with my lifestyle.
But if she was still a member, wouldn't she want to raise her kids in the church (if we had any, I'm still not 100% on having them)?
Are there really members that are OK with drinking, watching r rated moves etc? And most of all could someone really be OK with dating an atheist exmo?
To me it seems like a hastle to find someone like that, only for them to turn on me later in life when the inevitably become more devout.
I feel the only way it would work is if they were already on the way out that I could help "turn them" 😈

Firstly, let me start off by saying that this is actually my first apartment and the very first time I've been on my own so I blame my naivite a bit.
I moved into my apartment two weeks ago and ever sense then I've been waking up feel ill. Bit of context, when I was first showed the unit, it reeked of cigarette and cat spray (extremely pungent and got a few reactions out of me), the manager assured me that the smell would fade away with time. The previous house I lived in was like this, having smelled of cigarette smoke and the smell did vanish over time so I figured that would be the case here as well. So I checked off the boxes, signed paperwork and started moving in.
We'll, fast forwards to now and I've learned that my only building neighbor smokes every night, basically refreshing the stench for me to smell all day. Today, I woke up with a strong burning sensation in my sinuses like I've been breathing hot, sandy air. And so, I called the manager and asked what her stance on smoking in units was. To my dismay, she said, and I quote "the tenants can do whatever they want. If they smoke, they gave to pay for a new coat of paint" (which btw, the previous tenant in my unit did smoke, found out by smelling the paint and accidentally rubbing it off with a wash cloth to find out it smelled like death). She suggested I buy a purifier and I have but every time the thermostat turns on, the purifiers hard work gets undone. It's quite frustrating to have to breath chemicals from tobacco in so much and especially more so since I have a cat who I'm worried will be afflicted worse than myself.
I did some light digging and learned there's quite a good number of anti-smoking laws in Arkansas that revolve around specifically shared unit buildings like the one I'm in. Am I able to actually pursue trying my hand at anything for the sake of mine and my cat's health? There were no rules against smoking listed on the papers I've received when moving in, nothing about only smoking outside or no smoking at all.

I enjoyed Rogue, it feels really great. The gameplay style and aesthetics really captured its fantasy. My dream as a kid was to make an MA Assassin work but Traps were just far better (haven't had the time as an adult to try the Mosaic shenanigans in D2R, did they fix it yet?). So in GD I played a Bladedancer, in LE I play Rogue, and in D3 I tried making Shenlong Generator work for many seasons (really trash set still although last Season was decent with the powers).
Last weekend I tried Cutthroat Rogue and I fell in love. I am just sharing some insight that may be useful.
1) Twisting Blades and the Inner Sight spec is a goddamn boss killer. They just melt if you get the Aspect that makes the blades orbit you after they return. Max TB and your Imbue. Make sure the Inner Sight bar is almost filled before entering the boss so it'll proc after hitting it a few times but pre-cast your buffs like Dark Shroud for the Crit Chance. Imbue with Poison or Shadow (for the damage amp) and whack away with Clone once Inner Sight Procs.
2) Advanced Twisting blades is OP with how much it can reduce cooldowns. It reduces CDs by 1 second for every enemy the returning blades hit up to to a maximum number. This can go higher with more casts with Inner Sight. Spam it on some elite, Shadow Step or Dash to the back most enemy after all of them form a congo line and refresh your CDs once the blades come back. This makes Shadow Clone's uptime theoretically reaaaaally high as the cooldown just sinks with TB.
3) I love making killzones with Caltrops, Dash, and Smoke Bomb. Get the nodes that buff your damage (Calltrops: Crit Chance, Dash: Crit Damage, Smoke Bomb: increased damage). Cast Caltrops, Dash back in, and then Smoke Bomb, then start TBing away and by doing 2) above, you're ready to go again.
4) This might be an exploit/abuse and I am reluctant to share it but what the hey, maybe this is one trick Blizz will let us keep.
So I respecced my character and made an ultra-fast attacking Blade Shift Rogue with Combo Points on Flurry. After making the killzone above, I proc 3-hit Flurry for more attack speed. My amulet has that Aspect that grants attack speed to basic attacks. Add in Asheara's Khanjar at launch and you will be a stabbing machine. (You've heard of it here first).
"So what"? You may ask. See, there's this boot implicit that reduces evade CD by 0.5 (more if improved at the blacksmith) for every attack. That's 10 attacks for 5 seconds assuming CD stood still. But what if you attack really fast? Like reaaaaally fast? Catch my drift? Then add that Aspect that drops grenades and stuns whenever you evade and you're golden.
Thanks for listening. Would love to learn from what other Cutthroats discovered.

Today has been 5 months of us being separated with our divorce finalizing in one week. Boy has it been a roller coaster.
Today I’ve finally broken through and have let go with no interest of wanting to make this happen again. It’s sad, but I knew I was going to get to this point and I really didn’t want too.
10 years, 3 kids…
I still can’t believe when I think about over and over everyday. And to think that my STBXW has already moved on rather quickly with other people…it’s just a weird and sad reality too live in. I slowly break away from Reddit now, it’s so hard to see so many heartbreaking stories from everyone, so I’m choosing to take a break and start my journey solo.
I leave by saying this - there isn’t a lot of reconciliation stories out there but if one day we do happen to do this again, I promise I will put on here. I want to share that moment if it ever happens…
Thank you guys, I’m so grateful for this page because he’s helped me get through all the pain.

(WARNING: This girl has faked her age (shes turning ten this year but says shes 12) She has faked being a therian, and she starts to much drama (WAYYY TOO MUCH.)) she annoys ,e i more ways than 12. she had copied me and my bffs videos until we stopped posting. saffron has started drama on one of Nettlewing's lives and had said Nettles full name in the comments. as well as kept sending my friend Havoc and i death threats without stopping. She even had her friend (Her 'secret' account bc she has 0 friends and no dad 'no offense to the people without a dad') come over to my channel just to bully me and my bffs. I messaged Nettle on Pinterest, and she was on my side about ALL the situations that happened between me and saffron, and My friends having drama with saffron.she had made videos saying she was starving herself then the next video she posted was her eating raspberries, and it was asmr. she says shes not the one starting drama and that others are but shes the one who started all this shit with literally everyone. she made Pink & Toxic want to kill herself from all the things she did. she once also said some bodys full adress. on Nettles live someone had said they were trans and Nttle was prou because shes a kind person, then Saffron went on to say things about how she hates LGBTQ+ and shit like that and then a few weeks later said she was bisexual after my friend Havoc had said she was bi and asexual. like keep your thoughts to your self, not everyone wants to hear you talk shit continuously like a dog that wont shut up. She'll stalk my account like a Tiger catching its prey, waiting for the right video to react to in some way/spread rumors about you on your own page/and say on a quadrobics video or a therianthropy video, and be like "oh yeah i taught them that lol 😜" When Me, Havoc, and Nettle have been doing quads much longer than she has and we're wayy more experienced than her in MANY things. She sent me death threats on mutlitple alt accounts, even after i blocked all of them. She even made posts about us on multiple accounts, and more. She faked depression and ED, which was tragic for me and Havoc, because we both have Eating Disorders, and have parts where we experienced times when life's not great. This made me really, really angry because The fact she decided to fake so many things. Just for attention. Attention. She also faked having ad-hd and autism at one point. She messaged me on Pinterest and said "im so autistic lol sorry😜😜" She used that emoji a lot. AND NOT AS A JOKE IN ANY WAY. I also posted a video , a month before she did btw. it was of me making a snack to connect better to my fox theriotype and then she said she said she had a fox theriotype when really she never did and just chose them because they were preety. she had faked being a therian and said things like she taught us how to do quads when we learned all on our own. she said she was a therian for a while then said "i dont think im a therain anymore, i quit" like bro you cant quit being a therian, its something you cant choose. sometimes i wish i wasnt a therian. and yet she continues on being a B**ch about things like being an atheist or jewish or being LGBTQ+ and all things that isint like her or what she does. like what the fvck is up with her. i could say more but this is getting preety long. i just wanted to tell everyone to be carefull and to stay away from her channel due to her being very toxic. Sorry if this triggered any other Therians or Otherkins. im not trying to attack her but i wanted to warn people of some of the things she has done over the past 2 years.(BEWARE WE ARE NOT JOKING.)

It began when my boyfriend picked me up from work and I had to drop him off at the dock so that he could leave on his fishing excursion with his mates. He contacted me from another phone inquiring whether he left his phone in the car and if I could see it anywhere nearby after forgetting it in my car. I explained to him that I was driving and it was raining, so I couldn't look for it right away. I then pulled over to the side and discovered it on the passenger floor. They were gone when I arrived at the dock after turning around and driving there. I continued driving home without stopping to check his phone at the time because I had no plans to do so and was actually quite occupied.
I simply went ahead and browsed through his images later that night as I prepared to go to bed and discovered that he had unintentionally screen recorded his Telegram account. I looked up telegram because I didn't know what it was, and I found out it's a place where people post noodes and share private sxx videos. He was continuously conversing with other people and sending personal noods and sxx movies of us. There were several of the girls from where I stayed. not my face, but rather my body's intimate areas. He has a serious obsession with this girl, Antonia. He has a long-standing obsession with her.
He has 8K videos and photographs of numerous girls, including me, in his storage, according to his account, and he has downloaded a ton of applications to just fufu and communicate to both men and women. He was horrified when I confronted him that morning when he got home, and he said he understands if I want to break up with him because he's been doing this behind my back for the previous three years of our relationship. It's ridiculous, and now that he's admitting that he has a corn addiction, he's asking for my support and guidance to stop.
I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that while he didn't physically cheat on me, he did mentally and emotionally do so. At this point, I'm not sure if I really want to assist him. He says he feels embarrassed, but he has nowhere to turn. I've been with this person for four years, and while I really want to end things, I'm not sure how to do it.

After killing a Tormented demon, it dropped some dragon limbs.

After killing a Tormented demon, it dropped some dragon claws.

This all happened this January at work. I was a relatively new shift supervisor at Starbucks. I had just started to really get the hang of things and Starbucks was paying for 100% of my tuition so I was feeling really good about life. They had me responsible for closing the store just about every night I worked. Night shifts are always less staffed and I'm usually the only supervisor there with 3 or 4 other baristas.
I got a phone call. You already read the title so you know where this is going but let me illustrate how convincing this call was. He introduced himself as a Sheriff's deputy of the county I live in and really talked like it. He told me he currently had the manager and assistant manager in custody over counterfeit charges. He gave me their names and their phone numbers and even said he was going to hang up and call me on my cell phone from the manager's cell phone so as not to tie up the store's phone line. Sure enough, my cell phone rang (I assumed he got my number from my manager's phone) and the caller ID was my manager's name and number. I had it saved from when I started there. I DOUBLE CHECKED. So at this point I'm freaking out and he starts telling me this is an ongoing investigation- several of our bank deposits had unusually high numbers of counterfeit bills such that this was considered a felony and a sign of organized crime and that I needed to do exactly what he says because they're going to arrive at the store any minute and I was to prep some things before they arrive. "Failure to comply will be considered as hindering an official investigation and you could be subject to termination and also looked at as a potential conspirator" some scare tactics shit like that. I was also told that there could be no interruptions in the call for the same reasons. He made it very clear I could not hang up or talk to anyone else. Part of me was scared and part of me just figured I couldn't get in trouble for doing what a cop tells me to do right? I thought I was playing it safe by doing everything he said.
He had me gather all the cash, bring it to the back, and I was instructed to mark each one with a counterfeit marker so when they showed up, everything would be ready for them to conduct their investigation. After like 2 minutes he asked why it was taking so long and that they were waiting on me so he instructed me to get another employee to help. This is where things get crazy. He had us divide the bills in half and I would mark the smaller bills while the other employee marked the larger bills, only we couldn't do it in the same room just in case we were both conspirators or something like that so he told us we had to work in separate rooms. I then had to give my cellphone (which is what this conversation was taking place on, and remember, we couldn't hang up the call at all) to the other employee so the sheriff could give him further instructions away from me.
So in hindsight it's easy to see there are some pretty obvious red flags. In the moment, however, these were not so apparent. Remember that I was terrified of defying his orders and I had no idea what was going on yet. Also, he had convinced me this was legit by way of somehow calling my cellphone from my manager's phone. The cops believed they must have gotten our numbers from previous phishing attempts or something like that. These guys were good.
Anyways, long story short, while I was distracted in one room without my cellphone, he told the other employee to leave the store with all the money (and my phone) and buy a shit ton of money grams from various stores... Which this employee did... He left with $5000 in a bag. Only he couldn't drive. So he got ANOTHER EMPLOYEE to leave the store with him and drive him to all these places. Now to be clear, if I had heard any mention of leaving the store with this money and buying money grams, I would have shut that shit down in a second. I was still under the belief that the police would be arriving soon, we'd close the store and let them do their thing. But they had me distracted in the back marking a big stack of $1s and $5s.
So anyways, by the time I'm done and I come out to check on him, I see that two employees are gone with a big sack of money and it finally hits me. I called the cops from the store's phone, had another employee call my manager, it got instantly escalated to my district manager who called the store and I had to explain why I didn't know where two of my employees were with $5000 in cash. One of the cops who showed up belittled me and told me I should have known and could have stopped it. Meanwhile Im literally shaking panicking because I don't know if these two employees are even alive. In my head, they were kidnapped, beaten, chained up. And it was my fault according to the cops and my district manager.
So we finally got a hold of them, they were safe, they came back with almost none of the money left and we closed the store early. My store manager was actually very understanding and told me not to blame myself. He said they were professional criminals and that I was another victim and I probably wouldn't be the last. He was a really good guy.
So a week goes by and aside from telling the story to a couple of coworkers and the cops coming back in to say hi (the one cop apologized for belittling me and I gave them free drinks btw) everything went back to normal and it all felt like it was going to gently blow over. Except when the district manager came in and suddenly asked to sit down with me and my store manager outside before I clock in. She ripped the band aid off and told me they both tried to fight for me (my store manager probably did fright for me but I doubt the district manager did) but a precedent had been set and their hands were tied. I thought maybe they would just demote me but she said we had to part ways. I kind of get it but it's still shitty.
I suddenly have no way to continue paying for school. I have been trying like hell with other companies that offer tuition reimbursement like Starbucks but I have been rejected so much in the last three months. (And yet people keep telling me 'EvErYoNe'S HiRiNg RiGhT nOw') I tried applying for unemployment but they had a lot of questions about why I was fired. I told them the whole story over the phone and they said they needed to review all the facts and ask my former employers before dispersing any funds to me which doesn't sound good.
I was set. I had school taken care of, a job I liked and decent income finally and it all got taken away by some piece of shit scammers. I'm not okay. I'm unemployed and running out of money. There's no way I can afford school in the near future which is going to delay graduating even more than it already has been. I lost everything just because of one random night. I could blame myself as I'm sure a lot of people might and, had I acted differently, things would have ended better but I keep going back to what my manager said.
They're professional criminals. I was a victim. And sadly, I probably won't be the last.

I'm sorry but this is my first post so please be patient :) I'm going to try really hard to keep this short, sweet, and to the point. Firstly hello and thanks for reading this. Ok ... I'm 44 year old male, unmarried and about to be on my own again. I'm afraid my mental illness has gotten the best of my family members patience and so they are sending me off. I received my diagnosis, after many, called schizoaffective disorder bipolar type about 6 or 7 years ago while living on the streets. I've researched allot about it and I don't currently see a good prognosis considering my circumstances. My whole family seems to have abandoned me years ago ... It's something that I'm still trying to come to terms with, it's hard. When I lose a loved one by death, I always have gone into either mania or psychosis. Here is my situation: I, at this moment in my life, live for my two animals. I am intimately close to them. One of them is going blind. I have been afraid that when either one dies, I will go into psychosis and get suicidal ideation and I already know I won't have support from my family. This is serious to me because I know how I get. I've been begging for help and have had great difficulty. How should I be feeling? Thank you!
