This subreddit features nearly 300 excellent contemporary works of classical music by composers obscure, little-known, and perhaps unknown.

Please nothing obvious like Glass and Adams, etc, and nothing, (in the old-fashioned sense), 'unmusical', such as by Lachenmann, Scelsi, Nono, Einaudi, etc. Thank you.
2023.06.08 09:31 acer000 Soooo much love to give
I'm F(26), living somewhere near Davao, been single since God knows when (2018 actually). Had flirted a LOT but always ends up with friendzoned or talking stage lvl only. Sometimes I ask myself maybe there's smth wrong with me and the way I handle things, or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, or maybe the right guy for me isn't born yet chos. But seriously, I miss dating and I can't even remember how it feels like to be in a relationship anymore. I've been so independent for too long but I'm still not used to it. I have no exes baggage and I'd say I'm emotionally available as well, I hope same goes with the future guy I would be with. Maybe someone here wants to give it a shot, or you may refer someone you know to me. I'd like in-person dating not online, so preferably someone nearby. đ€

2023.06.08 09:31 soslowsloflow Girlfriend (F25) broke up with me (M28) and blamed it on me
My understanding of the situation was not me vs her, it was that we fell into an undesireable dynamic that we did not find a way out of. She had, by her own description, a weak sense of self. She would say that she wanted to dissolve. I have a stronger sense of self, I often want to feel seen or realize my dreams. We got along quite well, loved each other intently and tenderly, loved each other like no one else ever had. She had three medical disabilities: two mental illnesses and a chronic illness. These, combined with the challenges of adulting for the first time, meant that we were dating when she had to learn a lot.
I would get exhausted with her ADHD compounding her ability to manage her chronic illness and vice versa. Her mental state fluctuating a lot daily wore me down. I would try to help her remember about her medication, and help her come up with strategies like making lists so that she could cope instead of flailing about while her health and living situation declinedâfor instance, piles of trash all over her house, impulsively buying things she struggled to afford, eating junk food constantly that hurts her chronic illness. Her own independent streak led her to not want to listen to me, even though I was being encouraging and thoughtful, but then I would become frustrated, and my attempts at helping became mixed with resentment, which in turn caused her resentment toward me. I could not simply watch her let herself decline and not say something. At times, my negative feedback would become critical, but I would not be condescendingâI try to be honest and respect another person in conflict.
I became increasingly worn out by feeling like I was not dating someone who was an independent person. I felt like I had to initiate things most of the time. She fished for complements often. She tried to get my attention in little ways, even when I already was giving her my focus. When I complemented her from my heart or tried to help her process what she was feeling, she seemed to forget it. When I gave her negative feedback, she remembered it vividly. She kinda skated along. She became increasingly exhausted with feeling like I did not like her. She said she felt like I was always annoyed with her in some way. She did not give me feedback like I gave her, and I really wanted her to tell me what she wanted, so that I could listen and respond rather than imagining what she wants.
To be fair, I tend to be an idealistic person, and I dont blame her for feeling that intensity as a lot. I was struggling in our relationship, and things she did would annoy me, but I identified that this is probably the person I will marry, she had said the same about me, and so I decided that the best thing for me to do is to endure and work through this as we grow up together. Long term relationships, especially marriage, require work and learning to resolve conflict together as people grow and change. So much of marriage is about cultivating rich love and working to cohabitate well rather than simply finding an absence of conflict.
I'm focusing on the negative, so here is some positive. We shared our worlds together. Lots of laughs and very intimate conversations and moments. We would take stuffed animals and put them in funny situations and send photos of them to each other. We made up funny stories and talked about deep things together. She felt like my woman, and I felt like her man. We had many conversations about things very near and dear to our hearts. We would care for each other and cry together.
Two months ago, she starts taking mental health medication, and in three or four days the relationship goes from loving and friendly to stone cold from her. She stops talking to me. I try calling her numerous times asking what's up? She was distant and aloof. Finally, she explains she likes the distance between us. She starts to get mad at me over phone and I start to cry. She decides over phone that she wants to be single. I tell her that I want to have this conversation in person rather than over the phone. She tells me over text shes breaking up with me and says theres no point in coming over. I call her and very angrily explain to her how f'd up it is to break up with a long term boyfriend over text when we have been each other's closest, most trusted companions for almost two years. I demanded an in-person, face-to-face conversation. It was like she was flushing all our love out a toilet, like it was all a dream she could walk away from.
When I showed up, she was at first happy to see me, smiling uncontrollably. It felt to me like she was acting girlishly. She tried to explain that she felt like she was losing her sense of self around me, and that she had been codependently bouncing between guys ever since high school. That was an understandable reason for wanting to be single. I tried my best to be supportive, because her feeling like herself is really important, but I was devastated. I loved her, we loved each other so much. She tried to uncling herself from me with as little emotional involvement as possible. She has treated me very starkly ever since. I feel there is an emotional chasm left behind by her swift departure from me. She was such a bright love in my life. I guess I feel wronged by how easily she dumped me, as if her perception of me had been flipped all of a sudden, maybe by the medications. I dont think her wanting to be single is a bad idea. It makes perfect sense. I just wish she had slowed down and thought solidly about us long-term and communicated with me about her desires instead of zooting from me like I was a bad fling. It's like she forgot I was her best friend. I can see the reasons that led up to the breakup, we got into a spiral where she felt she was giving herself away to me, and I was wanting more of her, and we didnt get out of it. She blamed it on me, and I dont think it's all my fault. Relationships are not assured to last, and sometimes they fall apart between people.
I am wondering, Reddit, about your feedback. Also if you think it would be good for me to reach out to her with a letter or about having a conversation for closure or to hold on hope that maybe we will get back together someday? My friends say I dodged a bullet. Somebody who would leave me so quickly and so quickly reinterpret the level of intimacy we shared as a wholly negative thing must have not been as open to me as I was open with her. She seems to have some growing up to do, and being single might be just what she needs to feel more herself.

2023.06.08 09:30 A_horse_a_piece77 Mike Rowe Is On A Mission To Reverse The "Unspeakable Stupidity" Of Devaluing Work
 | https://preview.redd.it/8fku9lx5yq4b1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d0be23498433adbe9f7eac06a7bdfa4d1b50292 submitted by A_horse_a_piece77 to WisconsinUs [link] [comments] A few months ago, Mike Rowe stumbled upon a 2011 video of himself speaking in front of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee during the Obama Administration about the mindset of government toward skilled trades. His argument was that skilled trades were the key to saving our economy, not those jobs that require a four-year degree. His argument fell on deaf ears. So he went again in April 2014, this time testifying before the House Committee on Natural Resources to discuss the opportunities for skilled trade workers in the energy industry. This time he brought props, specifically the poster his guidance counselor from high school pointed to when he tried to bully Rowe into picking a high-priced university over a community college his senior year. Rowe said he had nothing against college, but the universities his counselor recommended were expensive. âI had no idea what I wanted to study. I thought a community college made more sense, but Mr. Dunbar said a two-year school was âbeneath my potential,'â explained Rowe. âMr. Dunbar pointed to a poster hanging behind his desk; on one side of the poster was a beaten-down, depressed-looking blue-collar worker. On the other side was an optimistic college graduate with his eyes on the horizon. Underneath them, the text read: Work Smart NOT Hard,â Rowe told the committee. âMike, look at these two guys,â Mr. Dunbar said. âWhich one do you want to be?â âI had to read the caption twice. Work Smart NOT Hard?â Rowe recounted. The visual was jarring, not to mention insulting, yet once again, nothing happened. Rowe made his final plea to Congress in March 2017 when he once again schlepped to Capitol Hill, this time for the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education. He discussed how career and technical education (CTE) can help close the skills gap and empower students to succeed, and he stressed the need to reform the current law. His message was simple: CTE, and skilled trade professions, need a public relations makeover and a champion. âIf you want to make America great again, youâve got to make work cool again,â he said. âSo, my point to Congress was we just have to get people to think differently about the definition of a good job. And we need to put better examples of real people out there who are prospering as the result of learning a trade,â he said. âWe just shot seven or eight PSAs a couple months ago with people who we helped through the trade scholarship fund at the foundation. HVAC workers, plumbers, welders, all making six figures, and I am going to put these PSAs out there in the same spirit of those ads that made people think differently about conservation, and we are going to make people think differently about work,â he said. The spots are pitch perfect. The first one with Chloe Hudson begins with Rowe dispelling the notion that you cannot make six figures working with your hands. It then cuts to Hudson, a welder who received a work ethic scholarship from mikeroweWORKS and went on to earn six figures a year, talking about the beauty of her life. âIâm going to raise whatever I have to, Iâm going to spend whatever I have to get these examples front and center. So thatâs what Iâve got. In a way, itâs nothing new. In another way, itâs me finally saying, âLook, this was a good idea 10 years ago, and why not me?â Iâll do it. Iâm going to do it,â Rowe says with his characteristic charm that has endeared him to millions for more than 20 years. Rowe said people really need to acknowledge the âunspeakable stupidityâ of taking shop classes out of high schools 40 years ago. âThe unintended consequences of that alone have been unraveling in ways thatâs just mind-boggling. We effectively removed from view an entire category of vocations,â he said. âIn the long history of stupidity, youâd have to go a long way to find something dumber than universally removing shop class from high school. But of course, at the same time we did that, we started telling that same generation of kids that the best path for the most people was the most expensive path,â he said of the idea that higher education is the only path to success. Which brings Rowe to wonder: Were they intentionally telling students who went into trades that they were achieving lower education? It should make us wonder as well: Who did these decision-makers think was going to take care of their plumbing, fix their car, install their air conditioning, repair their furnace or rewire their house? Rowe said he knows he is not going to open the eyes of the varsity blues crowd. âI canât. Theyâre not persuadable. But there are a lot of people in the middle, a lot of people that just want to feel better about the possibility of exploring a career. So thatâs what Iâm going to do. Iâm going to take my own advice. Iâm going to stop telling Congress what to do, and Iâm going to do it myself,â he said.

2023.06.08 09:30 AubreyGrahamTrashRot 27 (F) - my estranged stepfather has falsely been claiming me as an employee (specifically the accountant) for his highly suspicious pool servicing business for years without my knowledge - what do I do?
My mom and stepfather are two of the most dishonest and morally corrupt people I've ever met. I also am estranged from them. I haven't had a relationship with my mom since high school, and even then it was very strained. Have always butt heads with my stepfather.
Never been good between us. After HS I went to a big university. Got my degree. Started my career got my own one bedroom apartment downtown.
Near the end of 2020, I was in the process of signing for a car lease. The dealership ran my information (background check, consumer report, etc.) and came out and told me that the information I provided them about my employment history and current employer did not match up with what is on record. I was super confused and I asked what the report said and they told me that it says your employer is "******" (my stepfather) and that you are employed as his "accountant".
I was speechless. I have never worked a day in my life for this man, I have never received a penny from him in any aspect, and I have absolutely no background in accounting whatsoever. My major at MSU was political science minor in economics. Like l've never done ANYTHING in accounting I don't have the experience nor the education to be in any type of role like that. And I work in a totally different field.
The dealership gave me a copy of the report. I called my mom while I was at the dealership and she denied any knowledge of it and told me that it was probably my actual father..???âŠ.. and that my stepfather would never do that. Lol. It wasn't my actual father, but that was her story. I've tried to submit the information to IRS fraud department online but I have never heard anything back. This year, I got audited on my state taxes which was so strange and I've run into multiple other problems and hurdles with this. I don't know what to do. I'm also not sure what exactly is angle is with it, like type of breaks / benefits falsely claiming me as an employee would generate for him. My guess is he claims me as an employee to avoid some sort of income taxes. I also have a fear that he listed me as the accountant so that if law-enforcement ever catches onto his absolute cesspool of business that he will try to say that the cooked books or whatever he's got going on were me. Any info would be greatly appreciated

2023.06.08 09:29 fujianironchain 5 More Nights in Tokyo
I have previously written two posts about gay (sex)adventures in Tokyo about 6 months ago, they are HERE and HERE. I just made another trip last week, this time more focused on general tourist activities, including a side trip to hike near Mount Fuji. But nothing would stop me from exploring the night and sex life of the city. Hope you'd find the additional information useful:
About bars - as a mature Asian muscle bear myself I again ended up going to first to Tokyo Eagle, then off to Eagle Blue to see a gogo dance performance by a group called Bear Train. Both places are in the middle of Shinjuku's gay district Ni-chome. Eagle Blue is more of a basement club than bar, and it was packed full of people that night. It'a a cover charge of „1,500, but you get one big drink up to the same price. They do serve drinks in big plastic cups. The atmosphere was great, so if you happen to be in Tokyo during the weekend go check out their Twitter to see if they have any performance.
As it was still early I decided to also go check out Dragon Men, which has a more professional troupe of muscle gogo dancers. This is a legit club and I read the weekend before the US singer Lil Nas X was there having fun after a promotional tour in Japan. I gotta say the performance there was way better than Bear Train's. So unless you, like me, have a thing for bears, Dragon Men is probably more entertaining.
A few people have asked me about "masseurs" and "escorts" in Tokyo. This is not something I usually go for but since Yen is now really cheap against USD, one can get a full service massage for only between „15,000 (around USD110) to „20,000. I was traveling with 2 other buddies this round and one of them knows more about the scene than me - here is what he did. There is actually a website that lists all the independent "masseurs" through out Japan. You can see their basic information and there are links to their Twitter accounts and websites to find out more. The main website is in Japanese and English, and you can set your browser to auto-translate from Japanese to English when viewing their own webpages.
Most masseurs prefer you contact them by emails first. You can use English and from what my friend has shown me they have no problem replying in English too. You should also contact them at least half a day in advance. Some of them regularly update their availability on Twitter. For some reasons Twitter is still very popular with Japanese and local businesses too. My friend hired one for an afternoon massage; he was so happy afterward that he is still talking about it. But please be mindful that this is a list of "masseurs" even when some are very explicit in what additional services are being offered. Use your own judgement and be respecful when setting up an appointment.
Since I was sharing a room with a travel buddy, we did decide to stay in more expensive hotels this round. The first one is in Ginza, and the second one is a "hot spring" hotel in Shinjuku right next to the gay district Ni-chome. It has a large bath in the basement with one big hot pool of hotspring water that can sit up to 8 people comfortably. There are also two smaller ones in an sealed off "outside" area. If you like the experience Japanese hotspring bathing this place is a very good deal, with the additional bonus that since it's also close to Ni-chome, it's popular with gay tourists and locals alike. All of us have encountered some very discreet cruising.
I don't encourage anyone to cruise in a public place that is not meant to be exclusively gay, but a smile and a friendly nod to the right person can definitely make your trip more interesting. I did exactly that and ended up in another hotel guest's room one evening.
Much as I wanted to visit at least one gay sauna or sex club this trip, I decided not to. Monkey pox is still a concern in Japan, and people are getting infected despite being vaccinated. This is just my personal choice, but you can still read about the 24 Kaikan sauna chain and various sex clubs in my two previous posts.
It's still really cheap to visit Japan now, but its economy is recovering faster than everyone else. It may not be cheap for long.

About bars - as a mature Asian muscle bear myself I again ended up going to first to Tokyo Eagle, then off to Eagle Blue to see a gogo dance performance by a group called Bear Train. Both places are in the middle of Shinjuku's gay district Ni-chome. Eagle Blue is more of a basement club than bar, and it was packed full of people that night. It'a a cover charge of „1,500, but you get one big drink up to the same price. They do serve drinks in big plastic cups. The atmosphere was great, so if you happen to be in Tokyo during the weekend go check out their Twitter to see if they have any performance.
As it was still early I decided to also go check out Dragon Men, which has a more professional troupe of muscle gogo dancers. This is a legit club and I read the weekend before the US singer Lil Nas X was there having fun after a promotional tour in Japan. I gotta say the performance there was way better than Bear Train's. So unless you, like me, have a thing for bears, Dragon Men is probably more entertaining.
A few people have asked me about "masseurs" and "escorts" in Tokyo. This is not something I usually go for but since Yen is now really cheap against USD, one can get a full service massage for only between „15,000 (around USD110) to „20,000. I was traveling with 2 other buddies this round and one of them knows more about the scene than me - here is what he did. There is actually a website that lists all the independent "masseurs" through out Japan. You can see their basic information and there are links to their Twitter accounts and websites to find out more.

2023.06.08 09:29 Hotchipsandpepsi I'm so confused and don't know what to do regarding my income
So I fought to get my check under my name, and I eventually got it under my name, but now i didnt receive my benefits this month and social security for some reason sosay sent out another card through direct express going straight to my previous payee that was never received as far as i know, and i didnt even ask for the card, yet I also received mail from social security this month clarified my check is still under my name??? I'm so confused... and I don't know what to do. I've called social security nearly every day since the first of this month and they act entirely nonchalant about it like it's nothing and yet don't tell me anything. It wasn't even social security that told me the payee wasn't myself on that card, it was direct express when I called them. They didnt even want to tell me, i had to name who i thought it was for them to confirm it. I don't understand how social security can act like this and do this, this is literally someone's life they're messing with. Good thing I have a relative at the moment helping me out because without them I literally would probably be on the streets due to this. I'm so fed up. I'm posting this for suggestions by the way, reddit is usually my last choice with things like this, but neither me or my family know what to do or why this even happened.
By the way, I'd set up an appointment, but I dont even know what to say the appointment should be about because I literally do not know what's going on.

2023.06.08 09:28 sunwhispering Anyone else find gym photos obnoxious?
Context: my friend told me that Tinder has an option to show people with same orientation as you first, and me being curious cat wanted to see if there are any aces near by, short answer: No :(
Curiosity got better of me and I decided to read profiles, mostly for shits and giggles, but the amount of gym photos made me just delete my profile and the app, something about the gym photos feels obnoxious and unattractive? and everyone had the same interests= gym, outdoors, working out and netflix, nothing stood out and it felt like I was reading same profile over and over again?
This is probably just my own personal preferences, but anyone feel the same way? Or is this just a normal dating profile standard for allos?

2023.06.08 09:28 Kabalfanatic Nightmare I had the other night
A couple nights ago a had a nightmare where I middle-aged white with demon wings named Marvin Gaye was jumping through the trees in my next door neighbors yard. I observed him until he quickly turned to me, which was very unsettling, and he begin flying toward my back porch. I slowly crawled back inside and shut the door just as the creature slammed his hands on the sliding glass door and stared in at me and smiled.

2023.06.08 09:27 cumblebee_ JENNIE AND V ARE JUST FRIENDS AND NOT DATING!!!
Jeongyeon: I first met Jennie in 2017 at an award show. Since then we have been acquaintances. Now I have never told anyone this, but me and Jimin went to the same school, and we hated each other. We even once got into a fight(I won). Although we don't hate each other now exactly, I can't say that we don't at least dislike one another. I have ran into BTS once, and although Jimin was rude, V defended me. Since then, we have been close friends.
Jeongyeon: So let me make it crystal clear that MALE AND FEMALE IDOLS CAN BE FRIENDS AND NOTHING MORE. This is a very important theme for this whole story. Me and V are not interested in each other, but im sure if photos were taken you crazy fans would be having a field day. However, hearing about the recent situation between Jennie and V sparked my curiosity. I had no idea those 2 had any relationship, and they were being extremely secretive. But after going on a 3 day quest, I can say that they are definitely NOT DATING. First, we have to go back to this Monday.
MONDAY
Momo: "Have you heard about Jennie and V?"
Jihyo: "Yes I have... They must be dating."
Jeongyeon: "Woah, woah, woah, I wouldn't go as far and say that. I don't think so..."
Momo: "What makes you say that?"
Jeongyeon: " I'm saying that because I know both of them. I haven't heard anything. We can't jump to any conclusions yet..."
Jihyo: "True, why don't you go and just text both of them and see what's up?"
Jeongyeon: "I can't just ask them that! They'll think im invading their privacy."
Momo: "Jeongyeons right, you can't just be so direct. There's not much we can really do."
Jihyo: "Well im not gonna just take that for an answer! Somethings up and I wanna know!"
Jeongyeon: "Well, there is someone I know who can help us out..."
-50 minutes later-
The trio opened the wooden door which revealed a mysterious colorful hallway. Jeongyeon led the way, pushing aside a blue star curtain which led to a new room.
Rosé sat on a pink throne coated with rubies. Heart statues, love symbols and spiritual objects coated the hexagon shaped room like stars in the sky. The room was dimly lit by neon led light strips in the shape of hearts on the wall, spewing a deep purple-pink.
Rosé: "What is it that you have journeyed here for?"
Jeongyeon: "We need info on what is going on between your group mate Jennie and V of Bts."
Rosé: "That situation is a huge mystery that my power can't even fully understand, miss. I possesses the power to make anyone I want to fall out of love and break up. I can make love potions and charms. I can look into someone's heart, and see who they desire, if anyone. But Jennie's heart is a special case. Taehyung is in there, yes. But how much of him I don't know. For all I know they could just be acquaintances.."
Momo: "But you like her sister! Hasn't she told you anything?!?"
Rosé: "Naur, not even a murmur. But my power tells me that there is a connection, though potentially small."
Jihyo: "I see. Thankyou for your time Rosé, we appreciate it."
Rosé: " It's my pleasure"
Jihyo Jeongyeon and Momo left Rosé's building and entered the busy city.
Jihyo: "You've gotta be kidding! Even the mastermind of love can't even shed any light. This us pointless, let's just go home."
TUESDAY
Jeongyeon: I can give up, but I won't. I have to prove that they aren't dating.
Dahyun entered the room.
Dahyun: "Hey Jeongyeon, doing something?"
Jeongyeon: "Oh, not much really-
Dahyun: "I know what you've been up to and what you want, if you want answers follow me."
Jeongyeon: how did she know!?!?
Dahyun drove Jeongyeon to a remote grassy area blanked by a dark status cloud. Finally, they stopped at a worn, dirty, tiny house that looked like it came from a horror movie.
Jeongyeon: "Dahyun, are you sure this will help?"
Dahyun: "Positive, I wouldn't trick you"
They entered the suspicious house, only to be met with a young girl no older than 18.
Sophie: " OH. MY. GOSH. ARE YOU DAHYUNA AND JEONGYEON FROM TWICE? IM SOPHIE AND IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!"
Jeongyeon: "HI Sophie, it's nice to meet you!"
Jeongyeon smiled cheerfully, while Dahyun rolled her eyes.
Dahyun: "You can cut the act already, we need info."
Sophie's tone changed dramatically.
Sophie: "Ugh, your no fun, whaddya want?"
It was at this moment Jeongyeon learned the truth. Sophie was a Sasaeng.
Dahyun: "We need to know everything there is about Jennie and V, can you help us?"
Sophie: "Whats in it for me?"
Jeongyeon: "I can tell you about my history with Jimin."
Sophie: "Deal. Now not to brag, but I was the one who took that precious video of those 2 love-birds."
Jeongyeon:"YOU WHAT!?!? WHY DID YOU SHARE THAT?"
Sophie: "Zip it ajumma. Anyways, I heard them talking. Apparently they were talking about candy and a time machine idk."
Dahyun: "That makes no sense?"
Sophie: "That's what I thought to, until I saw where they were going. They entered a secret tunnel. I tried following them, but it's like they just- vanished after making the first turn. I'm still confused on what they are doing though.."
Jeongyeon: "Well, V told me once that he has a passion for time travel, maybe they are making a time machine?"
Sophie: "But what does Jennie have to do with that?"
Dahyun: "Her solo.... I was spying on YG and I heard her screaming saying that her solo comeback was destroyed."
Jeongyeon: "When was this?"
Dahyun: "May 15th."
Jeongyeon: "That's right before the video was taken... it makes so much since now. Jennies solo was deleted, so now she is trying to reverse time with the help of V..."
Dahyun: "But why were they talking about candy..."
Jeongyeon: " That - I don't know..."
Sophie: "Alright times up im done, now where's my payment?"
Jeongyeon: "On second thought, I don't think I will tell you anything after you called me Ajumma.."
Sophie: "Oh great! I guess I'll just stop telling your friend Dahyun here everything I know about idols"
Dahyun: "Jeongyeon!! Tell her the story!!"
Jeongyeon: " Alright, fine."
WEDNESDAY
Jeongyeon: I'm so close to figuring everything out
Jeongyeon met with Momo, Jihyo, Dahyun, and Rosé. The 5 of them were determined to get to the bottom of the situation.
They traveled to the tunnel. The suns rays tried their hardest to reach down the walls of the dark cave, but they gave up after 50 feet. Besides the sun, dim white lights poorly illuminated the tunnel every 20 meters. The 5 of them braved down the ominous, uninviting, damp hall. Suddenly they were met with a T shaped intersection. They could turn left or right. Sophie did not say what direction Jennie and V turned.
Jeongyeon: "We split up. Me and Rosé will go left, and the rest can go right. Let's meet up here In 30 minutes."
And with that, Jeongyeon and Rosé walked on for another 15 minutes, until finally, they found a door. They opened it, revealing a large high tech room, with wires and buttons everywhere. The place was a mess, with boxes and paper everywhere, levers sticking out at the most random spots. Candy wrappers sprinked the floor like confetti. Most Jarring was the giant machine in the middle, a metal disk with a 3 meter diameter, and wires connected everywhere. Metal boxes held the thing together, and a huge lever labeled "start" stood on top.
Jeongyeon: "This is it...."
Rosé: "Well no shit-"
Jeongyeon reached for her phone to call the others, before the door swung open.
Jennie and V.
V: "What the hell are you two doing?!?!?"
Jennie: "Rosé? Jeongyeon? How did you find this place?!?!"
Jeongyeon: "Better question is, what are YOU two doing. This is some mad scientist shit."
Jennie sighed.
Jennie: "This is our project... I know we have been secretive, but it's no use hiding anything now. I never thought i would meet someone with such a passion for science as me but then I met V. He is such a bright mind, and together, we made this..."
V: "This is the electrobit 7000. Here's what it does."
V flipped the switch.
V: "you might wanna step back..."
Suddenly, an electric arc appeared between the metal ring, spinning and glowing fiercely. It turned into a white circle. Unexpectedly, a variety of candies erupted from the machine, and landed In a box before the machine shut down.
Rosé: "That's it?"
Jeongyeon: "It spawns candy? It's not a time machine?"
Jennie: "Time machine, we haven't even started making the design for that yet! No this is just something fun we build together. Halloween is gonna be fun now that we have infinite candy."
V: "Now why would you bring up a time machine?"
Jeongyeon: "That's what the Sasaeng who recorded the video said you were talking about."
V: "Oh, I think she means our Thyme machine. We were working on it just that night. It's a real shame we got caught together."
Jeongyeon: "But Jennie, what's this about your solo being destroyed?"
Jennie: "I'm guessing Dahyun told you? It's okay my producer had a backup saved. I was just screaming in the moment."
Rosé: "Well I gotta say Jeongyeon, you and Dahyun really fucked up huh."
Jeongyeon: "Don't act like you didn't believe it. Well o must say, I'm sorry for all this, sneaking into your lab and all."
V: "Don't worry about it, just please don't tell anyone. And also show me who took the video, so I remember"
And with that, the truth was revealed, and Jeongyeon could finally go back home with the full story of what happened.
Jeongyeon: So this brings us to now. Jennie and V are not dating. They are just friends, and would like to be called that. I'm sharing this so that everyone knows the FULL STORY. Jennie and V have decided they are ready to let people know about their lab, so it is okay for me to share this.

2023.06.08 09:26 dayone_27 Fraudulent card charges drained my credit line! 2FA bypassed. Portfolio locked up
My virtual nexo card was used on 05 June starting at 23:14 while I was sleeping. The fraudsters made a rapid series of purchases on wish.com and aliexpress totalling $1770. The spending only stopped 40 minutes later because my credit was maxed and now my entire portfolio can't be withdrawn, bonded collateral now.
I contacted support the morning after seeing this, in a panic, and I'll say the response has not been reassuring. Two days later since reporting and no one has told me if they will reverse these charges or asked me to fill out a dispute form. All I'm told is "we are tending to the case". This is really distressing.
The worst part is I've never used those sites before and there was no 2FA prompt. No SMS for an OTP at all. They just had free reign without any 2FA. Security bypassed!
I have always been prompted for 2FA by DiPocket every time I used my nexo card online in the past, even for $30 in the middle of the day. What happened here, that this spending could just go ahead without any 2FA? Is there a system breach here? DiPocket? My mobile is with me and there were no 2FA prompts or SMSes.
Been really enjoying nexo up till now and hoping this works out and support actually tell me when these charges will be reversed...
Freeze your cards and I suggest only unfreezing when you shop. Entire portfolio is at risk via card fraud.

I contacted support the morning after seeing this, in a panic, and I'll say the response has not been reassuring.

2023.06.08 09:26 Visual_Society3594 ugh iâm late
So⊠my bf and i made the very stupid decision to have unprotected sex for the first time ever over a month ago, it was literally a couple hours after my period ended. I took a plan B within 24 hours, ended up getting my period a week later for about 5 days. (my period twice in a month sucked btw). Well fast forward to now, i am now day 37 on my cycle aka, 6 days late. Iâm not sure if plan B is proven to screw up schedules and all that but this sucks. and before you ask yes iâve taken three tests within a couple days of each other, the most recent was yesterday, and theyâve all come out negative.
I know it is near impossible that i am pregnant but i need actual people to tell me that before i lose my head. I also know it was extremely dumb so hush about the âdonât have unprotected sexâ, lol learned my lesson there.
Thank you!

2023.06.08 09:24 Angel_eyesss Dealing with rejection is my weakness
I recently got rejected by one of my dream jobs, it made me feel not enough. It made me regret my past. Made me wish that I had gotten better scores and did more interesting things to be that perfect candidate they wouldâve chosen. It made me emotional because it reminded me of all the times I got rejected in my life, whether by my mother, my middle school friends, or the person I was in love with. It makes me feel like I lack something - like Iâll never be enough and that thereâs nothing to do about it⊠I wish I can love myself more and appreciate the things I did, even though compared to others, itâs really not that impressive. I know Iâll get out of this mindset soon but damn dealing with rejection is what hurts me the mostâŠ

2023.06.08 09:24 gnrtnthrwy One gentle parent and one... not.
Anyone else have a partner who just doesn't handle normal toddler behavior very well? Today was the first time we had to deal with our almost two year old having a tantrum in public. Usually he loves going to the grocery and stuff but today he just wasn't having it. None of the regular tricks were working and he was just unhappy. The only time he was relatively calm is when I was carrying him but I'm 6 months pregnant and he's a lot to carry around for that long. He didn't want to go to my husband 1) because I'm the default parent and 2) because my husband was getting stressed and tense and was being less than comforting. Once we got outside and my son calmed down my husband started having a tantrum of his own "oh so you don't wanna cry now huh?" "Suddenly you're just fine??" And complaining about how my son just wants me to hold him and I always give in. I hold him when he wants me to, yes. But typically he only acts like that when something is wrong. Anyone else deal with this? Any advice? I've tried talking to my husband and he thinks I'm just babying and spoiling our son. I think I'm just treating him like a normal person who has feelings and doesn't quite know how to cope with them yet.

2023.06.08 09:23 livelaughlesbian22 AITA for making a comment about someone going to a mental hospital
I 16 started at a new school last year and became really close with some cool people. We had a group chat that I made to talk about school and other things. Sometime near the end of the year i got invited to a discord server one of them had made then was immediately banned, I thought it was weird until in the gc one of my friends A said âI hate someone in this gc whose name starts with - and ends with -'' The first and last letter of my name. Feeling uncomfortable, I left the gc. Someone in the chat messaged me to see if I was ok saying that the stuff being said in the chat was shitty, at that point I didn't know what they were saying nor what I had done. Another friend T, checked on me and showed me the things they were saying about me, well the things B was. From being racist, transphobic, ableist I was being called names for things I didn't do. Majority of the things had either been taken out of context or were straight up lies. Things I did say/do - I made a joke about genderfluid becoming gender solid if it gets too hot (i didn't know it made them uncomfortable), grabbed a friends cane which they didn't like and I apologise, I misspoke about shein, was trying to have a conversation about how bad it is and stuff bc i was in the climate movement but it came off wrong, i own a couple things from shein bc my family's poor and again I HAD ALREADY APOLOGISED ABOUT IT. They also said I told them I'm more autistic/ a more valid autistic bc I have a diagnosis, while also making it a competition + entire personality. I never said those things.There is more but it's long. Anyways they all believed everything that was said and i went back to feeling shit at school with no friends. That incident took a massive toll on my mental health, as i said im autistic + some other fun things so i took it all really hard. I still dont think I'm fully ok after it. I got one apology, not from the main guy but his best friend.
Now to today, everyone is friends with B but they don't go to my school. And after what happened I'm not the biggest fan of B, but they can be friends with whoever they want. Today before class we were all sitting getting stuff together for an assessment due tonight. Then one of my friends said âshit B is going to the mental hospitalâ, I kinda blanked on who that was so i asked, it clicked and my instinct reaction was to say âew disgustingâ. I'm not proud of it, I regret it because it was in VERY bad taste and I understand that. But it's been so hard seeing everyone being so close to someone who caused so much harm to me, I feel bad but idk. Idk how but abt 10 mins later they messaged me âmental health matters until someone you don't like ends up in the wardâ, then told me that we all know my activism stuff is bs and i should grow up. Which ngl caused me to shut down.
I do feel really bad but i'm not sure, I think i've lost my friend group bc of this and i'm just lost

Found this Baja near me, it has 93k miles but had a brand new engine installed 10k ago. Clean title and looks to be in good shape on the inside and outside. Is this worth $10k? What should I look out for?

2023.06.08 09:22 ThrowRABreakfas I (27F) am not sure if I should leave my long-term partner (30M.)
Hey all, using a throwaway for obvious reasons.
I've been with my boyfriend for nearly 3 years now. The first year or so was long-distance, and after hundreds of hours of Discord calls and a couple of visits, we moved in together and we've lived that way ever since.
On one hand, I feel emotionally cold towards him. I'm no longer sexually attracted to him (even though he is quite good-looking, in my opinion) and I'm afraid to admit that I may no longer be romantically attracted to him. On the other hand, I love and value the stability and honesty and patience that he affords. He's by far the most "sane" and communicative partner I've ever had- we've actually talked about these issues before, and basically decided to try and make it work. Now, though, I find myself questioning whether I'll ever find him attractive in those ways again.
It's hard, for many reasons, some of which are to do with our specific social situation (much of which does not actually have any bearing on whether we should stay together, in my opinion, but still complicates a potential breakup) and some of which are relevant to my posting this thread. Matters in question, which I would like feedback on, are:
I really just had to get this off my chest. I'll probably have made up my mind by tomorrow, but getting these thoughts out on paper was likely necessary. Thank you for reading and please feel free to give any thoughts or words of advice you may have.

Matters in question, which I would like feedback on, are:
- Whether or not this sort of romantic and sexual decline is normal in long term relationships. I don't believe most sustainable couples suffer this badly this early on from such a decline in emotional interest from either party, but am I just well out of the honeymoon phase? Would this sort of decline be inevitable in any relationship?
- Whether or not I'm overvaluing the very thing of romantic and sexual magnetism in and of itself. Do I just long for the high of the honeymoon phase once again? I don't believe so. I find myself irritated by him. I'm frankly cold to him when he absolutely does not deserve to receive that kind of treatment... He is a genuine romantic and a sweetheart and the fact that his advances so often rub me the wrong way is surely a sign that I should leave the relationship, and free us both, no? Surely a daily sense of being bonded and truly enjoying his company should be a necessary component of a lifelong relationship, right?
- Whether or not this is simply an unbroken cycle perpetuated by some unaddressed matters of my psyche. This is the longest relationship I've ever been in, but two years seems to be about the pattern. That said, there have been various different reasons for wanting to leave. It isn't always just irritation and a sense of being fed up and a loss of romantic fire, as it is in this case. Perhaps my problem is that I'm not quick enough to end unsatisfying or otherwise doomed relationships, and two years is just the limits of my patience?
I really just had to get this off my chest. I'll probably have made up my mind by tomorrow, but getting these thoughts out on paper was likely necessary. Thank you for reading and please feel free to give any thoughts or words of advice you may have.
