2023.04.01 07:27 ChallengeGlad404 25M can't get over 24F ex-girlfriend
Hi Reddit,
My ex-girlfriend, 20F at the time and I, 21M at the time, broke up about 4 years ago after two years of dating. It was a tumultuous period for me, and it was very hard for me to get over her considering the circumstances of the breakup and how closely aligned/close we were before. But, after counseling and general psych stuff to work on abandonment issues, I moved on. I have been focusing on my career and life ambitions and I am currently in a relationship with someone else that I have been seeing for about a year.
The issue is, about 6 months before I started seeing this new person - I ran into my ex at a party. She told me she still loved me and asked if I felt the same way - I wanted to say yes but I didn't and I don't know why. I think maybe out of some unforeseen need to 'get back' at her. But, the worst part is that I realized I did still love her. We tried to be friends briefly, but after she started seeing someone - she said we shouldn't talk anymore.
I tried to move on again and when I started dating this new person, everything was fine for quite some time. Unfortunately, my ex and I have started to work in the same area of the CBD, so I see her often. Whenever I do, my stomach feels sick, my knees go weak and I get all clammy - not able to think straight for the next few hours. This is a very unfamiliar feeling for me as I do not feel this way at all regarding any of my other exes.
We ran into each other a professional networking event, but after chatting briefly - she said she would be right back and I hid amongst a crowd of people I didn't know in order to avoid the pressing questions I knew she would have about my life (has been this way before). I saw her looking for me in the crowd, but I didn't go to her. After I recovered from my stupor, I went to look for her and realized she had left early. I decided to message her, but after two exchanges, she left me on read.
We obviously have unfinished business, but I'm not sure how to approach it with her. I'm still seeing this person and for all intents and purposes I assume she's still seeing the same person she was last year. I have no idea what to do generally, but I have some ideas to bounce off the wall.
- I still love this person, but don't want to hurt my current partner. However, I need closure. How do I go about asking my ex for this closure without creating an environment where she feels like I'm trying to pressure her one way or the other?
- If you think this is too far gone, how do I go about moving on so I can get to work without feeling like I shouldn't have eaten breakfast?
- If this isn't too far gone, is it even a good idea to break up with my current partner and roll the dice on someone I haven't been with in years? Without knowing if she still feels the same way?
TL;DR: Been broken up for 4 years and still can't get over my ex. Doesn't help that last year she said the same thing. Wondering what to do about it because I see her very regularly and have stupidly strong physical reactions to it. Both have partners, but I can't get her out of my head.

2023.04.01 07:25 DeadByDaylight_Mod Chapter 28 Wrath of Bones, "The Strangler" - Patch Notes
New Killer – The Strangler Jameson Brown was a man who had always been content with his simple life. He grew up in a small town, where he was known as the quiet and unassuming son of a farmer. After finishing high school, Jameson decided to pursue a career in accounting, which he found to be a good fit for his personality. He married his high school sweetheart, Joanna, and they settled down in a cozy little house in the town where they both grew up. For years, Jameson led a quiet and unremarkable life. He went to work, came home to his wife, and spent his evenings watching TV or reading a book. But all that changed when he discovered that his wife was having an affair with his best friend, Travis. At first, Jameson was in denial. He couldn't believe that Joanna, the woman he had loved and trusted for years, would do something like that. But as he started to notice more and more signs of the affair, his anger began to build. One night, after coming home from work early, Jameson caught Joanna and Travis in the act. He was consumed with rage and betrayed by the two people he had trusted most in the world. In a fit of uncontrollable fury, Jameson strangled them both to death with his bare hands. The police arrived soon after and arrested Jameson. He was charged with two counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But prison only served to fuel Jameson's anger and desire for revenge. He became obsessed with punishing those who had wronged him and started to develop a twisted pleasure in strangling his fellow inmates. He would wait until the lights went out and then sneak up on his victims, choking them until they were unconscious. Some he would let live, but others he would strangle until they died. One day, during a prison riot, Jameson managed to escape. He fled into the woods, where he stumbled upon an old abandoned cabin. Inside, he found a strange, ancient artifact - a necklace made of human bones. As soon as he put it on, he felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. He knew that he had been chosen by some dark force to be its instrument of death. Now, Jameson roamed the forests and small towns, searching for those who had wronged him or anyone who crossed his path. At first, Jameson's killing spree was random and sporadic. He would sneak into towns at night, find a victim, and strangle them to death. But as time went on, he became more organized and methodical. He started keeping a list of people he wanted to kill, plotting out his attacks with precision. The police were baffled by the string of murders that seemed to have no connection to each other. They had no idea that Jameson was behind them, and they had no way of stopping him. For years, Jameson continued his killing spree, always staying one step ahead of the law. But eventually, his luck ran out. He was caught by a group of vigilant townspeople who had banded together to hunt him down. Jameson was sentenced to death, but even as he sat on death row, he never showed any remorse for his actions. He remained convinced that he had been chosen by some dark force to be its instrument of death, and he went to his execution with a smile on his face.
Killer Power - Wrath of Bones When activated, The Strangler can target a survivor within a certain range and drain their life force, slowing their movement speed and revealing their aura to The Strangler for a short period of time. The Strangler can use Wrath of Bones four times per match. Once activated, it takes 30 seconds for the power to recharge. When a survivor is affected by Wrath of Bones, they are consumed by fear and start to hallucinate, causing their vision to blur and distort. While the survivor is under the effect of Wrath of Bones, they cannot perform any actions, including repairing generators, healing themselves or other survivors, sabotaging hooks, or opening exit gates.
Perk 1: Vengeful Spirit The Strangler can sense the aura of survivors who are healing or sabotaging his hooks. Survivors within a 16-meter range of a hooked survivor are revealed to The Strangler for 3 seconds when they start healing or sabotaging a hook. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Perk 2: Bone Collector For each survivor The Strangler hooks, he gains a token. Each token grants a bonus to The Strangler's action speed and movement speed, up to a maximum of 3 tokens. The bonus for each token is 4%. The Strangler loses all tokens if he is stunned. The bonus persists for the remainder of the trial.
Perk 3: Choking Grip Survivors who are hit by The Strangler suffer from the Mangled status effect. Additionally, while carrying a survivor, The Strangler can move at 90% of his normal speed. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
New Survivor - Camille Sjögren Camille Sjögren is a Swedish journalist who became obsessed with The Strangler's case after she covered his trial for a local newspaper. She spent countless hours researching his crimes, interviewing his victims and their families, and trying to understand what drove him to kill. But the more she learned, the more she felt like she was losing herself in the darkness of The Strangler's mind. Finally, she decided to confront him, hoping that seeing him face-to-face would give her some closure. But The Strangler saw something in Camille that he had never seen in anyone else - a kind of hunger for the truth that matched his own. He spared her life, but warned her that she would never be able to escape the darkness that had consumed him.
Perk 1: Obsessive Pursuit Camille is relentless in her pursuit of The Strangler. When a killer is within a certain range, Camille gains a boost to her movement speed and her scratch marks disappear faster, allowing her to escape and avoid him more easily. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Perk 2: Indomitable Will Camille's time spent researching The Strangler's case has given her a strong will to survive. When she is within a certain range of a hook that has a survivor on it, she gains a boost to her action speed, allowing her to unhook them faster. Additionally, if she is unhooked or rescued from a hook, she gains a temporary boost to her movement speed and recovers from the Exhausted status effect faster. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Perk 3: Truth Seeker Camille's thirst for the truth drives her forward, no matter the danger. When she completes a generator, she gains a temporary boost to her movement speed and reveals the aura of the killer within a certain range. Additionally, if she is the last survivor remaining, she gains a boost to her action speed, allowing her to open exit gates faster. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

2023.04.01 07:24 ConsciousBee6219 Caught a recovery scammer trying to scam me on a post for support for domestic violence victims (which I am)
| Green is me Pink is recovery scammer Blue is the name of the page this happened on. Comment 1- I commented on a post for DV victims to come together for support and share our feelings after going through abuse. Comment 2-now deleted they commented a sob story about how their drug abused husband was video taping her and showing it to his friends to make fun of her and goes onto (in quite a detailed fashion) to explain more in depth about the abuse and DV she was enduring. It’s very apparent this scammer in particular spent some time reading other DV victim’s comments on the pages posts and came out with this super guilt trippy story to play on the emotions of vulnerable abuse victims in order to scam them. She wraps up the comment with very quickly (but also very vague) saying that a specific Instagram page that she named had saved her life and helped her get away and get all of her accounts and stuff back and win the divorce. Most definitely a recovery scammer. Comment 3- I called the scammer out for trying to scam me, and tagged the page to notify them as well that they had scammers preying on their vulnerable victim followers. At this point I clicked the scammers page to poke around and sure enough they weren’t a very smart scammer and if you scrolled down there were pictures of the actual scammer, like two selfies of their face. I love when they forget to delete their old selfies before trying to scam people. So I took a screenshot and went back to pick on them. When I got back to the thread they had instantly deleted their comment trying to scam me. Kicking myself for forgetting to grab that screen. Comment 4-7 me having fun with my call out bc I thought it was hilarious that they deleted their scam comment so dang quickly. Hope y’all enjoy! I know I had fun calling them out lol. submitted by ConsciousBee6219 to scambait [link] [comments] |
2023.04.01 07:24 toefarmer 32 F. Currently seeking options and advice for and after major dental work (explanation in body text). Teeth, and health, are my number ones, but I’d like to hear your opinions on what types of procedures(not necessarily permanent or expensive) would best benefit me. Thank you so much!
| TL;DR 32yo mom, suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum during back to back pregnancies ending 12/20 and 04/22. Started out with beautiful, healthy, capable teeth and 3 years and two babies later I now resemble someone who lived a very hard life of addiction and am now recovering, or not. I’m currently still awake due to the pain, was quoted 16k for less than half of the fix, and am hoping that maybe a random redditor who happens to be well-connected in the U.S. dental scene may see my story and know of options out there that I’m not aware of. Just a quick backstory. March of 2021 I had not even the faintest whispers of decay on any of my teeth. I’d never had braces so they weren’t celebrity straight, but I always pretended like I was across the pond and my (albeit very slightly) crooked smile was endearing and made me unique. I found out I was pregnant with my toddler baby, and first girl. Prior to this I had 3 very healthy , almost almost comfortable pregnancies where I gained upwards of a whole other adult human and gave birth to 8 and 9 pounds babies with almost zero complications. 10 years and a divorce later and I’m happily pregnant with the baby girl I never even allowed myself to dream I may have. Cue Hyperemesis Gravidarum for 9 months, a total pregnancy weight gain of 4 pounds, and the healthiest 7.11 pound baby girl that we had tucked into her very own bed at home less than 18 hours later. Just as I was planning to start working on the absolute bedlam that took place in my mouth while growing this fantastical daughter of mine, I found out I was pregnant once more. This was very decidedly for more reasons than one, the very last of my offspring and I decided to let their gender be a surprise. Cue 9 more months of vomiting 4-20+ times PER DAY, every single day, but thankfully even though I look about 40 years older, she was and has been the picture of healthy, bouncing baby girl as well. My caboose will be one year old soon, and I finally mustered up the courage to walk into a dentists office I found on the Delta website and see just how bad it actually was. I was quoted 16,000, and that includes my “premier plus 15 word descriptor of Delta Dental “insurance”, for only the top half of my jaw. And my lower teeth are significantly more decayed than my top, I’m assuming from the physics of vomitus. I’m looking in to my options, and also the current level of decay, and I believe that All on Four implants are going to be the best for me. They are stationary with 4 implants holstering the “plates” in, not nearly as expensive as individual implants and/or veneers, and with me hoping to need a few more years of effort out of these chompers of mine, I think it’s the most practical solution. If anyone knows of affordable options, dental assistance (even if income-based. Mom of 5 here) or even any programs that I might could apply for, that would be fantastic! And I’d still really like to read what improvements you all think would enhance the naturally good and kinda blur over the not so pretty parts as a woman rapidly approaching my mids. submitted by toefarmer to lookyourbest [link] [comments] |
2023.04.01 07:22 IndividualPrevious70 Skyla IUD spotting
Hello! I switched from an oral bcp to a skyla iud Oct 2022, so it’s been 5 months. For the past 2-3 months I have had A LOT of spotting/light bleeding (I can’t actually tell if it’s spotting or just a light period). It will be for 7-10 days and then go away for maybe 5-10 days and then start back up again and im getting super frustrated. Periods before were usually only 3-4 days in length for me while on oral birth control and before i was on any birth control. I was hoping it would gradually get better but have yet to see that. Everything I have read says it could be normal for the first 3-6 months and I am approaching that 6 month mark so getting nervous that this is the new normal. Has this happened with anyone else and did it eventually go away or become less frequent?

2023.04.01 07:20 Thor_StrngstAvenger PA Factory explodes after staff reported smell of natural gas odor
| SURVIVOR PULLED FROM RUBBLE OF FACTORY EXPLOSION SPEAKS OUT: 'THOUGHT IT WAS THE END FOR ME' By Michael Rubinkam and Acacia Coronado Friday, March 31, 2023 3:58PM ET A woman pulled alive from the rubble of a Pennsylvania chocolate factory after an explosion that killed seven co-workers says her arm caught fire as flames engulfed the building - and then she fell through the floor into a vat of liquid chocolate. WEST READING, Pennsylvania -- A woman pulled alive from the rubble of a West Reading, Pennsylvania chocolate factory after an explosion that killed seven co-workers says her arm caught fire as flames engulfed the building - and then she fell through the floor into a vat of liquid chocolate. The dark liquid extinguished her blazing arm, but Patricia Borges wound up breaking her collarbone and both of her heels. She would spend the next nine hours screaming for help and waiting for rescue as firefighters battled the inferno and choppers thumped overhead at the R.M. Palmer Co. factory. "When I began to burn, I thought it was the end for me," Borges, 50, told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview from her hospital bed in West Reading, Pennsylvania, just minutes from the chocolate factory where she worked as a machine operator. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board planned to interview Borges on Friday. The March 24 blast at R.M. Palmer killed seven of Borges's co-workers and injured 10. Federal, state and local investigations are underway. A cause has not been determined, but the federal transportation safety agency has characterized it as a natural gas explosion. Borges said she and others had complained about a gas odor about 30 minutes before the factory blew up. She is angry Palmer didn't immediately evacuate. She said the deaths of her co-workers - including her close friend, Judith Lopez-Moran - could've been prevented. Others workers have also said they smelled natural gas, according to their relatives. Palmer, a 75-year-old, family-run company with deep roots in the small town 60 miles (96 kilometers) northwest of Philadelphia, has not responded to questions about the workers' claims. Speaking in Spanish over videoconference, her eyes bruised and her burned right arm heavily bandaged, Borges recounted her terrifying brush with death. The factory was getting ready for a product switch that day, so instead of running a candy-wrapping machine as usual, she was helping to clean. At 4:30 p.m., Borges told the AP, she smelled natural gas. It was strong and nauseated her. Borges and her co-workers approached their supervisor, asking "what was going to be done, if we were going to be evacuated," she recalled. Borges said the supervisor noted someone higher up would have to make that decision. So she got back to work. Just before 5 p.m., the two-story brick building exploded. Borges, who'd been on a ladder, was thrown to the ground. She heard screaming. There was fire everywhere, and the flames quickly overtook her. "I asked God why he was giving me such a horrible death," she said. "I asked him to save me, that I didn't want to die in the fire." She began to run. That's when the floor gave way, and she could feel herself falling - into a long, horizontal tank of chocolate in the factory's basement. At 4 feet, 10 inches tall, Borges landed on her feet in chest-high liquid. The chocolate extinguished the flames, but she believes her fall is what broke her feet. The vat began filling with water from firefighters' hoses, eventually forcing Borges to climb out as it reached neck level. She sat on the lip of the tank, then jumped into a pool of water that had formed on the basement floor. Briefly submerged, Borges said she swallowed a mouthful of water before surfacing. She grabbed onto some plastic tubing. And then she waited. "Help, help, please help!" she yelled, over and over, for hours. No one came. The pain grew more intense. The water was frigid. The main supply pipe for the building's fire suppression system had ruptured - and water was pouring into the basement. She lost track of time but thought she might be there for days. "The only thing I wanted was to get out of there," she said. Finally, in the middle of the night, she saw a light and screamed anew for help. Search-and-rescue dogs had alerted their handlers that a survivor might be in the rubble. Now, as rescuers carefully worked their way down to the basement, they heard Borges's cries. Calling for quiet, the rescuers followed the sound of her voice. They found her in a tight space, in chest-deep water. She made her way to them and was placed in a litter. "She was severely hypothermic and banged up," conscious but "absolutely confused," said Ken Pagurek, who helped lead rescue efforts as program manager of Pennsylvania Task Force 1, an emergency response team that deploys to disaster sites around the country. "I think had they not gotten to her when they did, there was a very good chance the number of victims was going to be plus one," said Pagurek, also a captain in the Philadelphia Fire Department. Her rescue gave hope to first responders who already had pulled two bodies from the rubble in the hours after the blast. Rescuers spent two more days at the pile. They found five more bodies but no additional survivors. Borges now faces surgery on both feet and a long recovery. Her family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help her pay the bills. Borges, who came to the United States 31 years ago from Puebla state in south-central Mexico, has worked at Palmer for four years. She said she's seeking accountability. "I wanted to speak so that this will be prevented in the future," she said. "For my colleague Judy, I want there to be justice." https://6abc.com/amp/pa-chocolate-factory-explosion-survivor-fell-vat-arm-on-fire/13058254/ submitted by Thor_StrngstAvenger to antiwork [link] [comments] |

2023.04.01 07:17 stewie_404 Ownership costs of getting a PS5
I am considering buying a PS5 in the coming days but I am a bit convoluted about it. One major thing that is holding me back is the cost of games. I don't want to shell out 5-7k for each new game that comes out and these costs hold up well even after a significant time after release. Even 3K for old games seems too high.
Now coming to the point, I've read a couple of comments here that people buy used discs & trade/sell them post-completion. I want to understand what is the avg amount that will be spent on games considering that you'll buy about 6-8 games per year (I am talking about AAA titles). What are some of the places where you can buy these genuine discs for a low price and what is the approx cost per game?
I want to see if this can hold up for say 4-5 years at least.
Also, are there any other issues that come up most commonly with PS5? Like controller issues or disc drive issues?

The beginning of My Friend featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Antelope included I Feel the Earth Move and Barracuda teases. The prevalent rumor among audience members (aided, to some extent, by the band and crew helping spread the rumor) was that Neil Young would make a guest appearance. Trey teased Heart of Gold before Llama and Sugar Mountain before The Squirming Coil and in Lawn Boy. Tweezer contained Fire (Ohio Players) teases. After Big Ball Jam, the crew set up a folding chair, Trey's acoustic guitar, and an extra microphone on stage. Trey introduced "Neil Young" to the roaring crowd, then went behind the drums and began playing the Hold Your Head Up intro with Fish appearing instead. Some friends sitting in the front row promptly hit Fish in the face with a pie. Fish sang a line of After the Gold Rush (with Page assisting on piano) before launching into Terrapin. After the second Hold Your Head Up, Trey joked that Bill Clinton would be helping out on saxophone for the next song prompting Page and Fish to tease Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. Carolina was performed without microphones.

2023.04.01 07:15 coyote_of_the_month Birdie's - off night, or is it always like this?
My wife was super excited to try Birdie's after seeing it on "Somebody Feed Phil." It was disappointing to say the least.
The gnocchi was underdone - it seemed like it was dried gnocchi out of a box, and they didn't quite cook it long enough. It wasn't quite al dente - in fact, it was almost crunchy.
The steak tartare was crunchy too - because it was full of pecan shells.
On a positive note, the deviled eggs were amazing, and the wine list was fantastic. The snapper had good flavor too, although it was over-salted for our taste (and we don't shy away from salt).
I feel like the place may be a victim of its own success? Like the concepts were great, but the execution was just sloppy. It was like 6 PM and there was already a line around the block, so I guess they were scrambling, maybe. I remember reading that Guy Fieri vets a restaurant pretty thoroughly to make sure they can handle the increased volume; Phil Rosenthal should probably do the same.

2023.04.01 07:13 Burnoutsyndro AITA for thinking about other men?
AITA??
So, me f/22 and my fiance m/24 have differing views on sex. I grew up in a strict household but yet wanting sex and talking about it comes easy to me.
Surprisingly he is the absolute opposite! His family talks about sex all the time but it makes him uncomfortable.
That’s all good and well but at the beginning of our relationship, we were having sex a lot, a lot a lot, which y’know obviously honeymoon phase. Now, 4 yrs into our relationship,,, we havent had sex in three months
Its usually around that much that i have to wait for him to get in the mood or where i just get so pent up and frustrated i tell him i need it
Therein lies the fucking problem
When we moved in together, it was harder to explain the gaps in sex, so he told me he thinks he’s asexual Like i said, i am used to talking about sex and am very comfortable with it, had this happened in the earlier stages of our relationship, i would have been fine with it
I am very open and accepting and i thought i could handle it
I can, for the most part, three months is like nothing when the sex is amazing
And it is, i dont want to have sex with anyone else, i love him and he loves me, our relationship is filled to the brim with physical intimacy, pda, comfortability, etc
But sometimes i just need it
I used to only have eyes for him, but when i reach the end of my rope, i start to notice the guys around me, i start thinking about them in ways i shouldnt, i start flirting with them, i wear outfits to get their attention. I feel horrible for it when i come to my senses
Usually we tell each other everything, but this is a pain point for us and i’m not sure how to get through it
The love we have for each other is immense, and i feel terrible that i’m letting my sexual frustration lead me astray
I feel terrible when i’m always the one saying oh my god just drop your fucking pants already Dont get me wrong, i’m no horndog i feel just as frustrated that hes not the grabby kissy have to leave hickeys all over guy that he used to be I feel if i had a taste of that from time to time, it would make it easier.
We live together, we’re engaged and we don’t have sex, never thought i’d turn into that spinster reading danielle steel novels or whatever the fuck, but here i am, sitting in a nightie that barely covers me, and he’s trying to go to sleep in our bed I dont know what to do, please give advice or tell me what ur opinions are

2023.04.01 07:13 Marydubs How to catch them?
We read all the stories about they found out this or they caught them, etc. but I’m VERY interested in exactly HOW you caught them cheating. My intuition is screaming something is off with my fiancé. I’ve done the grownup thing and asked/talked in person, but so far admitting to nothing, gaslighting etc. even lovebombing me, when there is clearly changes in iPhone behaviors among other clues. Together 13 years, engaged 4. His iPhone 6s is passcode/thumbprint locked. We live in our own separate homes 20 minutes apart. I’m going crazy feeling he’s cheating, but I can’t figure out how to know for sure and how to go about catching evidence. We have find my on our apple devices, AND we work together. His desktop PC has a passcode to get in as well. What ideas can you help me with short of breaking laws with gps, hidden cameras, and spyware? He offered up his phone once for me to see, but guilted me out of any real forensic examination. And if I’m completely wrong, will our (really wonderful) relationship be irreparably damaged? I’m so confused and torn as to believe all is well as he’s said, or paying attention to all the red flags I’ve noticed and can no longer ignore. I’m not sure I’d make a good PI, my car is also too noticeable to follow him, and that feels pathetic anyway. Thanks in advance for any advice.

2023.04.01 07:11 jazk02 MetLife Pet Insurance?
A local breeder is retiring of their “Queens” from breeding, as is adopting her out as she is no longer happy being around other hormonal queens and excited kittens. The breeder is meeting with someone else tomorrow, but if that doesn’t go through they will be contacting me. I’m heartbroken because I know it most likely will not be getting get, but I’m excited anyways and can’t help but “plan” already. I’ve been doing a lot of research, and I have other pets (1 dog and 4 sugar gliders) but after reading up more on the breed will definitely be getting pet insurance for her if I have the absolute honor of adopting her. I went through Pawlicy Advisor to get a quote as I had seen some people recommended trying that, and it recommended MetLife pet insurance? It SEEMS like it covers damn near everything and 80% at that. Anyone have experience with this insurance? Or have any recommendations for a pet insurance you have your Sphynx cat on with good coverage/deductible for stuff like accidents, routine care, breed specific illnesses, dental etc?
Thanks for taking the time to read! I would appreciate any input about this and even any tips for a potential first time owner.

This might be difficult to read for some people so i thought id warn you first. Trigger warning or whatever i dont know how that works but here i go.
Im rewatching season 1 for the first time in many years and noticed something Ed said during episode 4, he lies in his tent beaten to a pulp after Shane whoops the shit out of him for slapping Carol around and tells Carol and Sofia how much he hates the others in the group, they begin leaving the tent and Ed grabs Sofia by the arm and tells her ''why don't you stay here and keep your daddy company'' They were implying that Ed molests his daughter, right? Do they confirm this later in the show or in the comics? Im stupid with most shows and movies and need confirmation before im sure that im right about implications.

2023.04.01 07:09 HugeCockInMyCatsBum Thoughts regarding Linus' take on promoting LTT products
In law, there are different levels of intent that are required for all crimes. We call this
mens rea. The idea is, the intent of a person who kills in self defense is different than the intent needed for a murderer. It seems fairly obvious that this is the case. But this idea can be applied to a wide range of scenarios. Here, I'll try to explain why I'm opposed to Linus' advertising plan for the LTT backpack, but first, I'll explain the legal analogy.
Generally speaking, under the Model Penal Code (the "MPC," a Model Act adopted by many,
but not all, states in the United States), there are 4 levels of
mens rea, and in order from "most" intent to "least" intent, they are:
- Purposely
A defendant acts purposely, or with purpose, if it is their conscious objective to commit the criminal offense.
- Knowingly
A defendant acts knowingly, or with knowledge, if the defendant is practically certain that their conduct will cause the criminal offense. Knowledge of a "high probability" is sufficient for a defendant to be convicted of an offense that requires a
mens rea of knowledge.
- Recklessly
A defendant acts recklessly if the defendant knows of a substantial and unjustified risk, consciously disregarded that risk, and the conscious disregard was a gross deviation from the standard of conduct a reasonable person in that situation.
- Negligently
A defendant acts negligently, or with negligence, if the defendant was unaware of a substantial and unjustified risk, but should have been aware of that risk, and the failure to have knowledge of the risk itself was a gross deviation from the standard of conduct a reasonable person in that situation.
The standard example of
mens rea used in law schools is criminal homicide. There are a few different ways to "grade" homicide (the MPC approach, the "degrees of murder" approach, and the common law approach), but we'll focus on the MPC approach.
Under the MPC, homicide is graded as follows:
Murder is
purposely killing,
knowingly killing, or
recklessly and with extreme indifference killing (this doesn't quite map to
recklessly as we saw above, so don't think its the same).
Manslaughter is
recklessly killing, or under a condition of
extreme mental or emotional distress killing.
Negligent homicide is killing
negligently.
Why do we distinguish at all? Someone dies at the end, and the defendant did it. Let's say we have a defendant that killed purposely, and we have a defendant that killed negligently. Why do we punish the two defendants differently? Because what we are actually punishing is not the
act of killing (in law, this is called the
actus reus), we are punishing killing with
intent (in law, again, we call this
mens rea). Thus, we judge that lying in wait and killing someone via torture is more deserving of punishment than accidentally killing someone via speeding, and
that is more deserving of punishment than killing someone via failing to render aid (this is sort of disputed as to whether someone should be punished for this
at all).
What does this have to do with Linus' argument today in the WAN show? Consider as follows:
You wish to accomplish some legitimate, above-board business objective–let's say, you want to build a second office building for your growing business. You consider two different contracts. The first contractor follows the letter of the law completely. Her business follows the proper protocols for hiring immigrant labor. She allows inspectors from the department of labor to inspect her worksite. She has translated worker's rights fliers, and has posted them at all jobsites she operates at. She is licensed by the state in various ways–health and safety, handyman license, and drilling and construction licenses. She offers acceptable wages. She give this information to clients upon request, and is well known for treating her workers well. But she is also known for asking for repeated extensions, and she often refuses jobs that are too hard, too large, or that don't pay well.
The second contractor is a new operator in town. He is much larger, and has an established reputation for aggressive construction deadlines. But you have questions about his practices. Namely, you've walked passed a few worksites of theirs, and you see workers positioned below large cranes, workers without helmets, and workers who seem to have worked throughout the night. You know that many of these practices are unlawful. But you've never
personally confirmed your suspicions. To allay some of your concerns, you talk with a friend, who has contracted with the second contractor before. Your friend tells you that, to his knowledge, they got the construction done on time and all inspections were completed promptly. Your friend also didn't ask as to whether the second contractor was following labor law.
Two laws binding in this jurisdiction read as follows:
"Whoever purposely or knowingly violates labor law, or contracts with a party which violates labor law, shall be guilty of a felony, and shall be punished under this provision with a term of imprisonment not exceeding 7 years, a fine not to exceed $100,000, or both."
"Whoever recklessly or negligently violates labor law, or contracts with a party which violates labor law, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished under this provision with a fine not to exceed $25,000."
Simply:
- You do not have actual knowledge that the second contractor violates labor law.
- You are untrained in labor law, and cannot be certain that the practices you've seen yourself would violate labor law.
- You are unsure if the first contractor would be able to complete the job; your office must be fairly large, and you want to move in soon.
- You concede that you don't have to construct the new office, as the old office is fine for now.
Given this fact-pattern, make a choice as to what you would do. If you took that choice, would you be guilty of a felony, or a misdemeanor, or anything at all?
Linus' quandry is similar to this. He has made known the following:
- He has actual knowledge that some unethical behavior occurs
- He does not have actual knowledge that unethical behavior occurs every time
- He does not plan on gaining, or attempting to gain, actual knowledge as to whether unethical behavior occurs in any particular transaction
- If unethical behavior occurs, he will surely cease to work with that other party
Under these facts, it would be difficult to argue that Linus is
purposely trying to commit unethical behavior, or to support such behavior.
But, it is clear that Linus is
at least acting recklessly as to whether unethical behavior occurs (I'd argue that this arises to knowingly, but I'll leave that aside for now). He knows that there is a risk of unethical behavior occurring (that there may be some compensation or exchange of things of value in direct
quid pro quo for his product being featured as a review or being featured on a product listicle), he is advocating for proceeding with this plan
despite the known risk, and (in my opinion, and apparently Luke's as well) the conscious disregard of this risk is not reasonable given the circumstances (for personal pecuniary gain).
I leave to you, dear reader, whether or not one
should support a creatoinfluencer who acts recklessly with regard to unethical business practices.
