It has come to my attention that psychiatrist as well as nurses at hospitals take part in the online harassment (including on Reddit)

and offline harassment and gangstalking of those they say are mentally ill including hacking of their devices breaking into their home and their family members homes (using hypnosis and variety of other tactics on the families including the five year old and younger children) causing the to see demons, flying drones around the home and work place, the drones made to look as if they’re uap/ufo phenomena. And even dressing up an alien

The psychiatrist nurses etc stalk people on Reddit to rope them into treatment through manipulative tact

While in treatment they forced me to masturbate while under various levels of hypnosis after I told them not to stop it that such a thing would retraumatize me. They left post hypnotic suggestions that are sex based.

They possibly gave me brain damage years ago while I was in my parents home using a medical device they were in the home without the informed consent of the home owners and a nurse intentionally broke a Covid test in my nose while in the hospital which can be serious

Sorry if this isn’t the best subreddit for this, I just need advice

This is more of a vent than anything but if you can give me any advice I would appreciate it. I’ve been seeing this girl for 3 months, things went well at the start but for the last 2 weeks I feel like she’s been distant and hesitant. Last time we hung out was at her apartment about a week and a half ago, but it didn’t feel the same as the first time and felt more like hanging out with a friend than anything. Just to clarify we are both looking for a serious relationship, at least that’s what she said initially.

I feel like the connection I thought we had is dying. This is also the first girl I’ve ever talked to, we are both the same age (21). I reached out if she wanted to hang out last week a few days after I was her apartment and she didn’t respond. About 5 days ago I asked if everything was good between us and that we should catch up sometime and got no reply. I’ve explained this situation to my friend and he said she might have lost interest and he may be right but is there anything I can do to reconnect with her or is it pretty much over.

I felt like she trusted me since we spoke for 3 months and I spent the night at her apartment 2 times. I will admit she sends mixed signals, she wanted to cuddle at night, however we didn’t sex (which is fine, I would rather be in a committed relationship first), but the part that bothers me is that after 3 months she’s only comfortable with a kiss on the cheek and not the lips. Believe I’ve asked her I could but she doesn’t want to yet which confuses after everything that we’ve done.

I know there’s a solid chance she may have just lost interest but would it be worth giving her a call in the coming days, maybe even send a text explaining my concerns about mixed signals and maybe we can get together to discuss the intentions going forward? I know she might not even reply but would be worth at least trying? I know I shouldn’t be spending my energy on this person but she’s the only girl that I’ve ever been out with and she invited me to her apartment which made me feel a connection. I just wish we could go back and be where we were at a few weeks ago.

I’m also not talking to anyone else and feel like I did something wrong but not sure what. I’ve continued to stay on dating apps and have had no luck. I know I probably sound desperate and perhaps a little foolish but I really thought I had something with her and being apart makes me feel a bit disappointed and sad. Like I did I know I should probably just let it go and I know deserve someone that will put in the effort to see me but would it be at least worth the try to reach out one more time? I know I probably should say nothing but I just want to now for sure she’s not interested. If no reply, I can accept that it’s just not meant to be.

I also need to clarify that he’s a very white and shy girl. This is not the first time I sent a message with no reply and there’s been times in the past where we went nearly a week with no communication. I’m thinking I wait until Monday or Tuesday to reach out. I would appreciate someone’s perspective on this. I know I’m probably being a fool by even considering sending another message.

I am a 28F. I started my first office job less than a year ago. I was given 6 months of training because I had no experience in my field before. In the 9 months that I have been there I have become known as annoying (I have a hard time remembering stuff), weird (I have specific interests), exhausting (I have very few positive stories from my teenage years or college years or adult years so far), "a lot" because I'll often be depressed (but they also will come to me and ask me why I'm not socializing). I'll try to lighten the mood by talking about foraging or survivalist skills or some animals and it's annoying.

They have been very helpful and kind buying my stuff without me asking which makes me feel bad since I can't do the same monetary extent in return and threw me a birthday party when I was planning on leaving early that day before lunch, but every day they also just talked about how I am "a lot" and it makes me sad. They also tell me to be myself though, but I don't like most parts of myself.

I've been invited into this new group of friends. I have spent Halloween and Friendsgiving with them. I was telling the job friend how I was gonna cook and dress up for it and make it cute Thanksgiving themed etc.

They say I am putting on a mask. I don't think so. I am just trying to not make the same mistakes that I made at work. I don't want to be known as annoying or exhausting or "a lot" to the new group of friends. I don't want to step on anyone's triggers or reveal too much trauma. I don't want to be weird by chuckling at social moments I don't understand (like the other day I said "we had 3 hours left at work" and someone else snapped at me to "shut up before you ruin my 3 hours." I chuckled because I didn't know how to respond and she asked me "how was I being funny" so I shut up).

I don't think it's a mask to try and improve your social skills, etiquette skills, mannerisms, or to put effort into a dish for an event.

Where is the line between mask and self improvement? Is it a mask to try and impress this new group of friend?

First apartment with a gas range. I have noticed the immediate area around the range smells of natural gas, ever so slightly. I have checked and rechecked all the knobs are in OFF position. I am wondering if this normal or if I should be asking maintenance to come check for a gas leak?

At least in movies and TV, you always hear about people going on vacation, and then coming back "tanned, rested, and ready" to get back to work with new zeal.

But does that ever actually happen? Whenever I get back from vacation I'm exhausted from all the activity of the vacation and travelling. Usually these activities are fun, but they're still exhausting. I'd think that even if I ever had one of those "sipping margaritas on the beach" vacations, I'd still probably get exhausted by the travelling. And in any case, I certainly never feel like a vacation has "reset" me, and now all my stresses at work and elsewhere in my day-to-day life all magically go away.

Is this just a movie cliche, or am I somehow doing it wrong and a vacation actually does "recharge" most people?

I feel like this popped out of nowhere for the past month. Is it an old meme that people just started to use again? Thank you for your answers

If you believed that the people around you had a stranger origin story than yours and therefore had answers to the universe's big questions. How would you go about getting the truth out of them?

I've been improving my game over the last month and a half. I've crawled my way from the disgusting 200s of chess dot com to a whopping 500. Sometime soon I want to take part in a real tournament and get my ass handed to me, just to see what the experience is like over the board. However I've been told that you need a FIDE rating to take part in any FIDE-approved tournament.

How do I get this? Are there qualifier/open tournaments one needs to do to get into the federation?

If so, what happened???

Maybe this is political but someone like Kash Patel is about to run the FBI…why does he think he can run it??? Why doesn’t he feel overwhelmed that he’s about to run one of the most powerful agencies in the world when he has no experience?

It’s that time of year again in Florida so the question popped into my head. For those that don’t know, the cooler weather causes reptiles to go into brumation and if they’re in trees when they do go dormant, sometimes iguanas fall out of them. So I was wondering how they don’t get hurt from this.

For as long as I can remember, I've watched many of different movies where someone getting a pet and the like is the main focus of its story. But as I started to get older, and as I became a cat lover after rescuing my current fur-baby several years ago, I started to notice something: There are barely any movies that are sad or dramatic that are centered around cats.

Movies that are sad involving dogs are something that I have seen a lot. Marley & Me, A Dog's Purpose, and Hachi are just a few that come to mind if you asked me to name some. And I'm sure if you asked just about anyone to watch some of these, it's pretty much a guarantee it'll get them emotional or make them shed a tear.

But the same can't be said about cats. Just about every movie I've seen that shows a cat dying or being injured depicts it in a manner that's supposed to play it off as humorous (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a good example of this).

I know that most people believe dogs to be the more loyal species compared to cats, but I've just always wondered why this seemed to be the case. How come there isn't as many dramas or bittersweet films that are about a cat similar to what Marley & Me or A Dog's Purpose were like? I might be a little biased being a cat lover, but I always thought a movie like that would tug at my heartstrings and is something I'd be interested in seeing, like the story of a cat being rescued and growing along with its new family.

Is this a passive aggressive way to say someone is not an assertive enough driver and takes a really long time to change lanes etc.?

I honestly don't care what you wear at the gym it's your life but it seems there's a popular trend of kids wearing flannel pajama pants and they're almost trying to wear the most inappropriate (unsafe) shoes to the gym. Literally wearing slides while squatting. Feel like you're asking for a toe injury.

Not bashing, most of the younger people at my gym are nice and respectful I'm just wondering how this all started and why?

For instance...

UCLA, UC Davis. Why cant they be called "Cal"?

UTEP, UTSA. Why cant they be called "Texas"?

There are other such cases in other states. Who choses which particular school gets to use the entire state's name? And why? when there are other schools in that state's system who are also called University of (Texas/California/etc.)

does anyone with any knowledge of connectivity know if I can get an adapter or anything for an rj11 cable to turn it into rj45 or ethernet or something? we just got internet at our apartment and we have a weird rj11 hookup but that's it. thanks in advance (': so far people just seem irritated that I'm younger and don't know much about old phone connections. I just want wifi lol pls

So for example, the video “the entire history of the world I guess”. I know it’s not exactly the most accurate source, but it’s overall ok. Why was nothing going on in the americas? All the major events and everything happened in Europe and the East in general. Why were the americas just left out of everything? Is it really that nothing much happened, or is it because it’s not taught? Why?

I could google it but I don’t want to. I know nothing about blimps but I think they use helium or hydrogen or something? If it’s helium how does it not just keep going up forever?

Do we still use silver coins anywhere on earth even now in the era of Apple Pay?

What I mean is I know the difference between someone who can act amad someone who can’t.But what is the difference between a random Guy from a hallmark movie and say Leonardo DiCaprio. Apart from the fact that one of them is already famous.

My cat got out( he is home) early in the morning right before a blizzard, i was getting desperate. He has long hair but doesn't understand that the frost will kill him. I had some catnip but he wasn't coming. I don't know where he goes but sometimes its been for days. I decided to light a fire pit in the backyard and dump catnip near it or on it( or best if you have an unused kettle, pour watter and catnip in it and wait for it to fill the air) . Problem is it didn't know if this would work or not since the cat was at the front door before i lit the fire. Is this a good or bad idea?

Hypothetical, someone designs an algorithm that can play the stock market with 90% accuracy. After using it for a year or so and basically giving themselves unlimited money, they release it to the public because why not. It gets really popular, and now millions of people are correctly predicting if a stock will finish a day up or down.

What happens? Would the market overinflate?
