Valley indoor swap meet

I feel this is the start to a deep rabbit hole, I already plan to use the Cruwear blade and the liners from the Maxamet for something but I’m not sure exactly what yet.

Throwing a bunch at the wall to see what sticks. Criticism welcome. Also, some of these have already been posted by others (particularly the dual core Eithan one), much credit to them.
Eithan and Subject One are the SA’s from Lindon’s original manuscript: Subject One was the creator of the empty palm technique. Eithan grew frustrated and developed the technique to split his cores.
Eithan has two cores: Eithan has a pure core and a destruction core.
Subject One is Lindon’s Ancestor: Subject One doesn’t remember his own name, or lied about not remembering it. Would also explain why Li Markuth was so salty.
Eithan is also Lindon’s Ancestor: Eithan put down some roots during his time in Sacred Valley. Also, it’d be a great loop closed for one of his descendants to finally meet his hopes/expectations.
We meet someone from another series: This one is more of a gut feeling, I think someone from either HoB or EE will make an appearance, or possibly Last Horizon. I was certain Makiel was actually Simon until Makiel started displaying such rat-like tendencies.
Eithan ends up back on Cradle: Whether it’s to visit at end of book, retiring from the judges to go back home, or some other reason, Eithan ends up back on Cradle at some point (if only temporarily), and manifests the joy icon. Unless the Joy Icon can be manifested outside Cradle, then maybe he doesn’t.
The Li Markuth spell is re-used: Lindon and friends figure out the spell (not really a “spell”, I know) that was used to summon Li Markuth. Not sure what they use it for, and they probably replicate it in a more animal-friendly way, but a spell to summon an ascended being might come in handy. Maybe they just use it to summon Li Markuth himself to give him a spanking. 🤷‍♂️
Elder Whisper: Elder Whisper is an earlier iteration of the Dreadgod experiments. His tower keeps him in check - I.e. doesn’t continuously grow into a mindless monster (before the Dreadgods regained sentience anyway).
Malice Calls In Her Favor with Eithan: An Arelius always pays their debts.

An Atlanta-area investigation of alleged election interference by President Donald Trump and his allies has broadened to include activities in D.C. and several states, according to two people with knowledge of the probe — a fresh sign that prosecutors may be building a sprawling case under Georgia’s racketeering laws.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) launched an investigation more than two years ago to examine efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn his narrow 2020 defeat in Georgia. Along the way, she has signaled publicly that she may use Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute to allege that these efforts amounted to a far-reaching criminal scheme.
In recent days, Willis has sought information related to the Trump campaign hiring two firms to find voter fraud across the United States and then burying their findings when they did not find it, allegations that reach beyond Georgia’s borders, said the two individuals, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly about the investigation. At least one of the firms has been subpoenaed by Fulton County investigators.
Willis’s investigation is separate from the one at the Justice Department being led by special counsel Jack Smith, but the two probes have covered some of the same ground. Willis has said she plans to make a charging decision this summer, and she has indicated that such an announcement could come in early August. She has faced stiff criticism from Republicans for investigating the former president, and the ever-widening scope suggests just how ambitious her plans may be.
The state’s RICO statute is among the most expansive in the nation, allowing prosecutors to build racketeering cases around violations of both state and federal laws — and even activities in other states. If Willis does allege a multistate racketeering scheme with Trump at its center, the case could test the bounds of the controversial law and make history in the process. The statute calls for penalties of up to 20 years in prison.
“Georgia’s RICO statute is basically two specified criminal acts that have to be part of a pattern of behavior done with the same intent or to achieve a common result or that have distinguishing characteristics,” said John Malcolm, a former Atlanta-based federal prosecutor who is now a constitutional scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation. “That’s it. It’s very broad. That doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to charge a former president, but that also doesn’t mean she can’t do it or won’t do it.”
Among Willis’s latest areas of scrutiny is the Trump campaign’s expenditure of more than $1 million on two firms to study whether electoral fraud occurred in the 2020 election, the two individuals said. The Post first reported earlier this year that the work was carried out in the final weeks of 2020, and that the campaign never released the findings because the firms, Simpatico Software Systems and Berkeley Research Group, disputed many of Trump’s theories and could not offer any proof that he was the rightful winner of the election.
In recent days, Willis’s office has asked both firms for information — not only about Georgia but about other states as well. Trump contested the 2020 election results in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Ken Block, the CEO of Simpatico Software Systems, declined to comment on what he has turned over to investigators. A lawyer for the Berkeley Research Group also declined to comment. A spokesman for Willis declined to comment on the investigation. Lawyers for Trump also declined to comment.
It is unclear if Willis will seek indictments of people for alleged actions that occurred outside Georgia, such as those who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. RICO experts say it’s unlikely she will do so. But, these experts said, the law allows Willis to build a sweeping narrative of an alleged pattern of behavior to overturn the 2020 election, with Georgia as just one piece. Evidence and actions outside the state, such as Trump’s statements from Washington that inspired some of the rioters and the parallel efforts to overturn other states’ results, could be presented as additional evidence that helps establish that pattern.
“The Georgia statute is broadly written” to allow the inclusion of violations of federal law as well as some other states’ laws, said Morgan Cloud, a law professor at Emory University in Atlanta and expert on the state’s RICO law. “For example, acts to obstruct justice committed in Arizona might be relevant if the goal of the enterprise, of the racketeering activity, was to overturn the 2020 presidential election nationally, as well as in Georgia.”
Cloud added that prosecutors in Georgia must prove only that two racketeering crimes occurred under the state RICO statute, but that other facts could be used to explain the breadth of an alleged scheme.
An ambitious prosecution
Willis’s investigation has already come under scrutiny as a test of applying state criminal laws to actions that revolved around a federal election — and that in many instances resembled constitutionally protected speech. The probe has prompted a debate, even among those who believe Trump’s efforts were improper, as to whether prosecutors will be able to prove that Georgia crimes were committed.
Her potentially sweeping application of Georgia’s RICO statute could amplify those questions. RICO allows prosecutors to target leaders of alleged criminal enterprises who in previous generations eluded convictions. In Georgia, it can be applied to many patterns of activity that are crimes under state or federal law, such as dogfighting or drug dealing, obstruction or conspiracy — going far beyond its origins as a tool to fight organized crime.
Several legal experts said they expect Willis to home in on possible false statements by Trump and his allies to government officials — one of the crimes that can be prosecuted under Georgia’s RICO statute.
In 2015, Willis attracted national attention as a deputy district attorney by using RICO to prosecute a massive cheating scandal in Atlanta’s public schools that sent eight teachers and administrators to prison.
Prosecutors in Georgia have obtained RICO convictions where the pattern of racketeering activity included actions in other states. In one notable case, prosecutors in Richmond County got convictions for several men they accused of kidnapping a Sam’s Club manager in a robbery scheme in 1998, stuffing him into the trunk of a car, driving to South Carolina and killing him by setting the car on fire.
In the Trump case, Willis has said she is focused on the phone calls Trump made to multiple Georgia officials seeking to reverse his defeat, his campaign’s efforts to persuade the Georgia legislature to declare Trump the winner, the gathering of Trump’s electors to cast electoral college votes for Trump after Joe Biden had been declared the winner in the state, and the Trump campaign’s potential involvement in an unauthorized breach of election equipment in rural Coffee County, Ga.
Dozens of people participated in those efforts, according to reams of emails, texts and deposition transcripts from the House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack: Trump lawyers such as Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Ray Smith and John Eastman; senior advisers including then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows; Jeffrey Clark, then a senior official at the Justice Department; and Georgia GOP leaders including the party chairman, David Shafer, and its then finance chairman, Shawn Still.
Multiple legal experts have said persuading a jury that those actions broke the law could prove difficult. The debate reflects the unprecedented nature of Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. While the effort immediately prompted calls to hold him and others criminally responsible, identifying laws that apply to such a scenario has proved challenging — and could help explain why Willis’s investigation is in its third year. That dynamic applies both to the Georgia investigation as well as the special counsel’s federal probe.
Most of those scrutinized in the Willis investigation have maintained that they did nothing wrong. They had every right to pursue claims of anomalies, many have said, particularly given how close Biden’s margin of victory was in Georgia, two-tenths of 1 percent.
“There’s not a single thing that I did in pursuit of election integrity that I have any regret or concern about,” Shafer said in a recent GOP address.
“It’s dangerous,” said Malcolm, the Heritage scholar, referring to the investigation in Georgia of contingent electors. “What you’re doing is tainting political activists who are trying to play a part in an election, who are trying to help their candidate, and all of a sudden you’re launching a criminal investigation.”
Norm Eisen, who served as special counsel to the House of Representatives’ first impeachment of Trump, over his pressure campaign with Ukraine, cautioned that it’s too soon to judge the investigation, but said he believes the overall case is a “strong one.”
“Either skepticism or belief is premature because we are not privy to all the evidence that the district attorney has amassed at this point,” said Eisen, a criminal defense attorney and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. “It just depends on the evidence.”
Eisen was among the authors of a lengthy examination of the applicable law in the Fulton investigation, concluding that possible crimes, besides racketeering, included making false statements and conspiracy to commit election fraud.
Malcolm said he agrees with the report’s conclusion that Trump is at substantial risk of being charged. But he said he believes much of its analysis is “slanted and misguided.”
Trump’s call to Georgia
Willis launched her probe shortly after Trump’s Jan. 2, 2021, phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), during which Trump said, “I just want to find 11,780 votes.” That number would have given Trump exactly the votes he needed to reverse Biden’s victory.
While Trump has been widely rebuked for that comment and others during the roughly one-hour call, it’s unclear to some legal analysts if uttering those words broke the law.
Trump did not spell out that he wanted Raffensperger to break the law; nor did he directly ask the state official to find the votes, which might have given Willis a clearer path to seek a felony charge against him, such as solicitation to commit election fraud. Instead, the comment could be interpreted as the president simply spelling out the math that would allow him to reverse Biden’s victory.
Trump may have hurt himself, however, in his appearance last month at a town hall broadcast by CNN, during which he explained that he called Raffensperger to tell him, “You owe me votes because the election was rigged.” Willis could offer the statement as evidence of Trump’s intent for Raffensperger to switch votes, several legal experts said.
“Subjects of criminal investigation aren’t usually reckless enough to go on national television and admit their corrupt intent,” Anthony Michael Kreis, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University, wrote on Twitter after the appearance. “But Donald Trump just handed Fani Willis a new piece of evidence and tied a bow on it.”
Willis has also investigated appearances by Giuliani and other Trump allies before Georgia lawmakers in the days immediately after the 2020 election, during which they described fantastical conspiracies of voting machines swapping Trump votes for Biden votes and poll workers in Atlanta triple-counting suitcases full of ballots.
It’s a felony in Georgia to make a false statement in a government matter, but Willis must prove that Giuliani and the others knew that what they were saying was false. Giuliani was not speaking under oath, so there is no exposure for perjury charges, and some legal experts say he might also be protected under the First Amendment.
Willis may also examine the actions of Clark, then the acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s civil division, who wanted to send a letter to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and state legislative leaders falsely claiming that the department was investigating “significant concerns” in the 2020 election, and urging them to call a special session of the General Assembly to appoint Trump’s electors to cast Georgia’s electoral college votes. Senior Justice Department officials blocked Clark from sending the draft.
Whether the Republican electors who convened to cast electoral college votes for Trump on Dec. 14, 2020, broke the law is perhaps even murkier.
Georgia was among seven states where the Trump campaign and local GOP officials arranged for alternate electors to convene with the stated purpose of preserving legal recourse while an election challenge made its way through the courts. Willis has offered some form of immunity to 12 of the 16 electors, according to three individuals with knowledge of the investigation. Not counted among those with immunity are Still, now a Georgia state senator, and Shafer.
Shafer helped organize the meeting and presided over it. Still has been described in news reports as having blocked members of the media from entering the room before the meeting started. Prosecutors have apparently focused on those activities in their questions to various witnesses, according to three other people with knowledge of the interviews. Prosecutors have also inquired about who mailed the electoral certificates to Washington, they said.
One of Shafer’s lawyers, Holly Pierson, wrote in a letter to Willis that Shafer had no knowledge that Trump allies would propose, later in December, to use the alternate elector certificates to block the counting of electoral votes for Biden in the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. It is not even clear if the plan to thwart the joint session had been hatched by Dec. 14, 2020, the day the electors met. The House committee did not refer Shafer or Still to the Justice Department for federal prosecution. Pierson declined to comment.
As the nation waits to see what, if any, charges Willis will seek, one key question is what evidence she has gathered that Trump, his campaign or allies knew about all the different efforts to reverse Biden’s victory. And that’s just the first step — getting to trial and persuading a jury may present even more formidable challenges.
“Proving all this beyond a reasonable doubt,” Kreis said, “that’s going to be the hard part.”

I've been looking for you forever. I've been wanting you forever. All my life I've wanted someone who knew me, every detail, good and bad. I've wanted someone to love and someone to love me back. Call me old school but I want us to spend the rest of our lives loving each other ❤️
I want us to grow together, make a family together and learn new things together. I'm sure we've both been drifting through life wondering if there's something better, something more, someone perfect.
To everyone else we're not perfect, there's something wrong with us, too introverted, humour too dark, too nerdy, plays too many video games, has one too many takeaways and watches too many movies that we quote movie lines back to each other and laugh at because we're that ridiculous but we love it because to each other we're perfect.
Hopefully this is where we find each other, this is the day where you slide into my inbox and go "Hello Darling, I'm Here", let this be the day we start our adventure, our paths cross and never uncross instead our paths entwine, never splitting, never growing apart, just growing closer and closer together as the years go by.
Before we do that though, let's get the introductions out of the way, my name surprisingly is not my username and I'm sure the same can be said about you, either way it's nice to meet you [INSERT NAME HERE], you have a beautiful name 😘
As we're meeting through the magic of the vast complex internet I'm interested to know where you're from, I'm from the UK so I'm one of those British people who have the fancy accent and like to take things that aren't theirs and refuse to give them back! Speaking of taking things can I take your hand and take you on an adventure for a first date? Go Karting? Bowling? People Watching? Just walking around getting to know each other? Where would you like to go?
Although we have all the time in the world to get to know each other let's find out the basics, I'm a 27 year old Male with an Aquarius Star sign and INTP-A personality type, the star sign and personality type are not important to me in a match, though I'm interested to hear your side of things regarding these, are you a believer in star sign compatibility?
Looks wise I have one thing to say, you're beautiful inside and out, don't let anyone tell you otherwise 😘 But in terms of looks, if you want to imagine me, think Tom Holland, are you imagining him? Okay good, now scrap that and think of this, I have short brown hair, blue eyes, a dad bod, I'm 6'0, slight stubble and good bum (apparently), that's me haha. What do you look like? If you want I'm happy to swap pictures just so we know what we actually look like instead of imagining.
But yeah, I think the basics are done and hopefully you're reading this like, "I must message him, he sounds a delight!" If so, please do, maybe we are soulmates, maybe we can spend the rest of our lives together?
As we've come this far let's find out how much more we have in common, maybe you'll read the below and think you're reading an autobiography because we have that much in common? Shall we see?
I have a full time job so that's my social life, I occasionally go out on weekends but not nearly enough for that to be called a social life. Instead I'd rather stay home and watch a movie, TV, YouTube or play video games.
Though if you want to know what media I like let's see if we match;
Movies - MCU, Scarface, Harry Potter, James Bond, Resident Evil, Austin Powers, Ghostbusters, John Wick, Matrix, Twilight and more!
TV - Doctor Who, Supernatural, Absolutely Fabulous, Taskmaster, Mandolorian, Parks And Recreation, The Office, Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones and more!
YouTube - Sidemen, Yogscast, Syndicate, Jesse Cox, Call Me Kevin, Modest Pelican and again,more!
Games (video and board) - Monopoly, Cluedo, COD, Far Cry, Elder Scrolls, Mafia, Dark Pictures Anthology, Assassin's Creed, GTA, Forza, Dead Rising, Resident Evil and you guessed it, many more haha!
But the above is not everything I do as I also like to go on walks so it would be nice to have a walking partner though maybe it could turn into a hiking partner? I like cooking and make a good Spaghetti Bolognese. I can clean lol, I'm quite domesticated when it comes down to it lol. I'm also a keen gardener and like to keep a tidy garden.
What else is there, I suppose it's worth mentioning I can drive (people up the wall with bad jokes), I can write (see this post where I've gone on and on) and I can be very open minded 😉 Which is something best left to a private conversation.
Erm, so.... Yeah? I think that's it, though if you have any questions then feel free to ask, my inbox is free for public use, though not in that way? Or it might be? Who knows it's an inbox, anyone can message haha 😂 But yeah, oh it's also worth stating that I am open to long distance though that may have been hinted at before. But yeah, this is definitely it, the end of the post, I suppose the last thing to say is, if I sound like your perfect partner, your idea of a soulmate then message me, let's cross our paths and start our journey.

Hello, newbie to irrigation. I grabbed the gravity emitter kit from Lee Valley which had 20 x 1 gph drip emitters, and two lengths of 1/2" and 1/4" tubing. For the most part my installation has gone well, except for one aspect: there are two emitters that are flowing like they have zero resistance. Like an open faucet. Here are some facts on what I've done: 1/2" down one side of my garden. 1/4" break outs as needed. All 1/4" is roughly 3 feet from the 1/2" so I can move them if needed as my garden evolves. The two emitters that are running non stop are mid way through the system. Emitters closer to water source and at the end are flowing at an ok rate for what I am watering. I have swapped out the emitters, 1/4" tubing but not 1/4" splices that fit into the 1/2" tubing. I am using all 20 emitters for the system. The water source is a rain barrel 50 feet away and the garden is approximately 2 feet below the bottom of the barrel.
Why am I getting inconsistent flow? Why are those two emitters flow high compared to the others? If the pressure was too high (which I'm making the assumption it isn't) shouldnt it be spread out in the system? Is air in the line trapping or preventing flow?
Give me everything you got to troubleshoot this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm looking for friends to chat or even play, I speak Spanish and some English, if you're a native English speaker it's even better since you would help me a lot to practice the language, I spend my time watching cat memes, spooky videos in youtube like true crime or mysteries (big fan of wendigoon) anime and playing videogames, lately I've been playing stardew valley, genshin, animal crossing, left 4 dead and minecraft, I also draw, I'm quite shy but still I'll do my best to have a fluent conversation, If you think we can get along don't hesitate to talk to me, I don't usually have much time because of my studies but I would love to socialize more, I'll be delighted to meet you!

If you are interested in playing pickleball, you can sign up at playtimescheduler.com to see what games are available in your area. This past weekend was my first time playing in The Valley. I had an outdoor game at Casa del Valle (Alamo) and an indoor game at Development and Reseach Center (Pharr). We had all levels of players from beginners to tournament players.

Hi sorry if this isn’t allowed. I bought tickets for tonight’s game but I have to attend a family thing. I will sell them below what I paid for about $80 a piece. I’m willing to offers too. I’m willing to meet up in the east valley or just do it over the phone. Send me a pm and we can work something out. Tickets are in section 115.

The Big 3 have always had a problem with rushing redemption stories, they rushed Hawk in S4 giving him way less time than he deserved for a redemption arc and an AVT champion arc, and they rushed Robby making him a yesman to Johnny in Mexico and destroying his independent, rebellious and lone-wolf nature. In Season 6 they have to write Tory’s and Kenny’s redemption arc and I feel it might be a disappointment again. They shouldn't sideline redemption characters like Hawk or Tory nor give them a reduced role but the opposite.
So I have decided to write a fanfic focusing on redemption characters arcs (whether failed or sucessful) and their rivals, specially Hawk-Demetri, Tory-Sam and in a minor way, Robby-Kenny (because they’re master and apprentice, not rivals). I’ve given less protagonism to Miguel and Robby on purpose because this is supposed to be only the first half of the season, and as they are the two main contenders for winning the Sekai Taikai, I want them to give room to other characters in the first half of the season and then Miguel and Robby could be the focus on the last part of the season. I also don’t want the Sekai Taikai to be the main narrative drive in the first half on the season, it should only be focused on the last part.
I've left multiple paths open so the readers can choose their favourite scenarios in a "make your own adventure" way, but I've still develop more the one which I prefer because I can't develop everyone.
Hawk should have a conflict over Robby being Daniel's favourite student, and Hawk should complain to Daniel that he's not being fairly treated as he tried to save Miyagi-do and is the male champion in S4 AVT while Robby was in CK trying to get Miyagi-do banned. Daniel won't realize he's playing favourites by prioritizing Robby- Daniel and Hawk had barely had any interaction in S4 and S5, compare this with Daniel close connection with Robby in S1, S2 and reopening the dojo in S5-.
Hawk could have two arcs, one (worse) that regresses his character into being jealous and reignites his rivalry with Robby and one (better) in which Hawk is more mature and he's instead disappointed with Daniel lying to him or denying he has favourites, in both of them Hawk could join Johnny's Eagle Fang, quit karate or maybe even joining Kreese's CK if he's demoralized and manipulated (specially if he's jealous).
Demetri could have a mediator role, trying to improve the relation between Hawk and Robby, as he's friendly with both, may try to keep Hawk in Miyagi-do, attempt to convince Daniel to spend more time with Hawk
Also, Demetri is the moral compass and the most Miyagi-like on the show so he could have also an unique conflict arc with Daniel, opposing the idea of joining the Sekai Taikai with the only purpose of stopping or destroying Cobra Kai once and for all, pointing out to Daniel that joining a world tournament to destroy another dojo -change CK name for Topanga Karate or Locust Valley- sounds insane or evil and having his first mayor fallout trust with Daniel as Demetri consider Daniel is going against Miyagi-do principles.
And maybe feeling disappointed with Daniel and Hawk conflict, or by his own conflict with Daniel, Demetri could end quitting karate with Hawk (at least for a time), which could cause Daniel to rethink and reflect on his ways.
Tory should try to redeem (and possibly fail, a failed honest redemption attempt would be new and interesting) herself and join Miyagi-Fang, but Amanda should tell her in a conversation that she only learned about her family situation in S4 thanks to Kreese. So Tory would be on a quest to find about Kreese whereabouts and would be loyal to Kreese, not because she's evil, but because she's grateful for all Kreese did for her. Tory would be the first to find Kreese and 3 scenarios may happen: that Kreese let her go and join Miyagi-fang, that Kreese recruits her into Kreese's Cobra Kai and she openly abandons Miyagi-fang or that Tory joins Kreese in secret and acts like a mole in Miyagi-fang trying to recruit some members.
This plot influences and interacts with each other, and everyhing is linked. Maybe Tory subverts Hawk, who no longer believes in Daniel, and fills him with more doubts regarding Miyagi-do (most interesting scenario), maybe she fails and get exposed. If Tory is raising any suspicion, Sam would notice it and be extremely paranoid, so I could see Sam trying to expel Tory out of Miyagi-do
Sam trying to expel Tory out of Miyagi-fang and getting into a "purge mode", trying to find all potential CK moles and casting shadow and putting blame on old CK's like Kawk, Robby or Kenny.
Tory gets expelled by Sam so Tory openly joins Cobra Kai, which causes an argument between her and Robby, with Robby threatening to break their relationship. There are three options here, whether Robby breaks with her again, Robby decides to keep their relation secret and pretend they’ve broken in public lying to the Miyagi-fangs or Robby stays with her. I’d prefer the second one, because it opens two other options, whether Robby is discovered or not. I prefer a paranoical Sam in spy mode discovering Robby for the sake of the story, but maybe the audience has any other preference.
Silver should be out of jail, he only got exposed of bribing a ref, and that's no major crime to end-up in jail. They have no evidence on Silver being behind the burning of Barnes furniture store and Stingray testimony isn't reliable. Silver should try to rebuild Cobra Kai and he could blackmail Kenny telling him that he can free his brother Shawn Payne from juvie using his lawyers if Kenny becomes a mole at Miyagi-fang and steal Miyagi-secrets and Miyagi’s medal of honour. (Silver had an interest about it in his first encounter with Mr. Miyagi in KK3.)
Kenny goes to Miyagi dojo, but watches Robby training Anthony, so he decides to go back, when in that moment he collides with Hawk. Hawk ask him what is he doing, if he's spying or has any trick upon his sleeve. Kenny apologizes to him for calling him Fauxhawk and tells him that he came to talk to Robby but he found Robby training Anthony LaRusso, who was his bully.
Hawk tells him that Kenny was acting like a bully the last few months, Kenny replies to him that he got corrupted by Cobra Kai, which leads to Hawk showing empathy, telling Kenny that he was also in CK, that he trashed the dojo and that he stole Mr. Miyagi’s medal of honour and tells Kenny a lesson about forgiveness, about how you must forgive your own enemies and they will show forgiveness to you. Hawk tells Kenny that he should talk with Robby Keene as he’s always cared about him and he’s worried about Kenny’s future.
Kenny talks with Robby in an emotive talk, thanking him for being his teacher and apologizing to him for failing him and Kenny joins Miyagi-fang, but Silver reminds him of the deal they made and Kenny feels forced to steal the medal of honor in a night training session with Robby. Kenny uses his stealth and in a moment Robby goes to drink or to the bathroom and he steals the medal.
The next day, everyone realizes Mr. Miyagi’s medal is missing and Sam, who thinks that Hawk was arguing with his father because he’s reverting to his defiant CK ways, publically accuses Hawk of stealing the medal of honour, and this causes a massive uproar. Miguel tries to descalate the conflict between his best friend Hawk and his girlfriend Sam but his efforts are useless and fails. Miguel is in a hard spot in the crossfire between them.
Hawk doesn’t feel trusted nor wanted at Miyagi-do, so he gets angry and quits, which is the moment Tory uses to tell him to give Kreese a second chance as Kreese’s a changed man and convince Hawk to join Cobra Kai. Kenny feels absolute regret and he’s completely remorseful after realizing what his actions have caused, so he thinks about confessing his secret to Robby and asking him for help, here there are two options, whether Kenny tells Robby in exchange for Robby keeping his secret and helping him (which it’s the one I prefer) or Kenny doesn’t say anything to Robby.
Demetri trust in Hawk’s innocence, but he feels desolated when Hawk’s defect and tries to get Hawk back into Miyagi-fang. Hawk tries to assure him that everything is alright, that “despite everything, you will always be my Binary Brother” and that being in opposite dojos doesn’t mean their friendship had to end but that he’s not going back to Miyagi-fang. Demetri is still not convinced, and he’s scared of Hawk getting manipulated by Kreese and could be reverting to his bully ways and end up breaking his arm again. Demetri also feels that he failed Hawk by not clearing his name and by letting him slide into CK again. Demetri also realizes that Sam is becoming way too overzealous.
Miguel is extremely disappointed at Hawk, says to him that Kreese has got into his head again. Hawk tries to defend his innocence and says that Kreese’s not in his mind nor he stole the medal of honour but Miguel trusts Sam’s words as he’s blinded by love and under Sam’s influence. Hawk also recriminates Miguel to be bonding with Robby more that with him and replacing him with Robby as his new best friend, so Miguel thinks Hawk is jealous and in the end Miguel leaves to avoid any conflict, stating Hawk is no longer his friend.
Hawk wants to ensure to Demetri and Miguel everything is alright and tries to persuade Kreese to make peace with Miyagi-fangs stating that they must first deal with Silver CK and that “the enemy of my enemy is your friend”. Kreese only agrees because he’s in inferiority (only has Tory and Hawk) and he sees the "peace as nothing more than a lull between battles" that could allow him to reinforce his position and gain time. They go to Miyagi-dojo to make the offer, but it gets rejected because Daniel doesn’t trust Kreese and Sam says it’s all a trick so they lower their guards. Demetri sees this as another abandonment of Miyagi principles and is worried on the negative effects this rejection and the continuation of hostilities may have on Hawk.
Hawk wants to talk in private with Demetri to ask him why are they rejecting the peace offer, and convinces Tory to stay a little bit longer, but he gets gang- surrounded by Sam and the Miyagi-fangs including Robby. Hawk point to Demetri that this is gang-assault and that if he’s gonna help him defend or side with his attackers, and Sam will say that if Hawk wants to escape unwounded he only have to give back Mr. Miyagi’s medal of honour, that’s very important for her, and that she will let him go. Hawk replies he doesn’t have the “fxcking medal, princess” but Sam doesn’t believe him as Hawk and Toryin Kreese’s CK, so Sam is going to attack him. Tory tries to intervene and gets ready to fight against Sam, but...
Demetri tries to stop Sam by talking and asking her if this isn’t too extreme, but Sam’s replies something like “Radical situations need severe punishments” and tries to attack.
Robby thinks (or knows) that Hawk didn’t do it as he was training that day and knows Hawk isn’t stealthy enough due to his previous experience, and wants to stop any fight from happening because he still has feelings for Tory and Tory might get wounded, so Robby has four options: Robby could say that Hawk wasn’t stealthy enough and that he was training alone to protect Kenny and keep his secret, but it would put him as the main suspicious target, as Robby has no alibi and her girlfriend Tory is in Kreese’s CK; Robby could say that Hawk wasn’t stealthy enough and that he was training with Kenny, putting a massive target on Kenny and Kenny could feel betrayed and maybe falling even more under Silver influence; Robby could say that he’s sure that Kenny did it as he confessed, which would guarantee Kenny feeling betrayed, getting expelled out of Miyagi-fang and completely falling into Silver influence or Robby could remain in silence.
If Robby decides to say nothing, Demetri would face three options: siding with the Miyagi-fangs and attacking his Binary Brother therefore betraying Hawk trust and fully throwing him under Kreese’s influence, defending his Binary Brother and betraying Miyagi-fang, therefore getting expelled of Miyagi-fang, or pretending “Not be there” therefore doing nothing. But there’s a more important Miyagi-do principle above “Not be there”, which it’s Miyagi-do Rule number 1 “Karate is for defense only”, and because pretending “Not be there” is apathy and “Apathy is death” (let’s see who catches the reference of the original conundrum a long, long time ago in a faraway story).
Miguel isn’t at the scene at first, but he could appear in any moment if the conflict drags and could try to mediate between Sam and Hawk, but he didn’t believe in Hawk but Sam, what could he do to solve the conflict? Miguel faces two options which are like Demetri’s: siding with the Miyagi-fangs and attacking his ex-best friend therefore betraying Hawk trust and increasing Kreese’s influence or defending Hawk and betraying Sam and the Miyagi-fangs, therefore getting a massive conflict with Sam and risking ending their love relationship.
After that, I’ll leave it with a “to be continued” because I’ve left a lot of possible routs and doors open, but whatever it happens, the mid-season should be focused in the conflict between Kreese’s CK and Silver’s CK in the CK civil war they’re having. Kim-da-eung could be conflicted and maybe she’ll play both sides, supporting both and will only choose siding openly with whoever ends up being the winning side. This should happen in the mid-season breaking-point to see who will triumph, absorb the other CK and represent CK in the Sekai Taikai. My personal preference is Silver, he has more resources than Kreese and the Sekai Taikai was his idea and his project, but I want to know your opinion.
The way I see it, a full unhinged "cocaine" Silver traps a vengeful Kreese by luring him into a meeting at Coyote Creek in a picnic like area, makes his CK (Shawn and Kenny) climb the trees and remain hidden and once Kreese’s CK arrived they throw Molotovs at them. Kreese, Tory and Hawk find cover under a stone bench, Silver makes them a phone call them asking them to voluntarily betray Kreese if they don’t want to end being burned alive and shouts with a maniac and sinister laugh “Do you remember the napalm days? Back to ‘Nam, Kreese, back to ‘Nam oh I liked that John, I liked that”. Kreese’s Vietnam PTSD is triggered massively, and he has a breakdown while he and his students are at risk. Tory is able to snap him back to reality and Kreese advises them to fully cover in mud to avoid major burns and thinks in giving up and surrender himself in order to save Tory (and Hawk, but mostly Tory), I leave the ending of the mid-season open here, use your imagination.
Something you may have noticed is that none of the CK kids are evil, Hawk is a dovish peacemaker who wants to keep his friendship with Demetri and Miguel, Tory joins CK due to loyalty to Kreese, not due to revenge or any evil intention and Kenny is forced to join in order to get his brother out of juvie. This is done on purpose so they can fully redeem in the second part of the season and leaving the door open to the teens to be able to redeem Cobra Kai, specially Tory after Kreese's sacrifice to save her. I've decided Kreese to sacrifice to save Tory and not Johnny because Kreese had a toxic relation with Johnny in which despite loving him, he choked him twice, and Johnny wants to close CK in S5 "Cobra Kai is the problem" but Kreese has never been violent or dangerous towards Tory on purpose, so I think any Kreese's redemption/sacrifice should focus on Tory.
See, that is how you write a compelling story for at least half of season 6 at without not focusing on the Sekai Taikai, because the ST shouldn’t be the main drive of the plot of S6 at least until the very end. If this season is going to have 15-16 episodes, as some people speculate, the Sekai Taikai shouldn’t become the main narrative focus at least until episode 10.
(There is no Fanfic flair, so as it's open I picked the discussion one)

So..I’ll be talking about how I can’t seem to make any true friends despite treating everyone well. By true friends, I mean friends I can open up and show my ugliest side to comfortably, friends I can truly call a bestie/close friend. A little context: I’m 17f, studying in poly whereas my sec sch friends are all in JCs.
P.s Idk why I suddenly turned to Reddit, but I guess it’s because I dh a community to open up to,, btw it’s my first time making a tread/post or wtv this is because I’ve only ever used Reddit for exam answers LOL and ironically,, it’s my bday. I’m not too sure who will read this or how the Reddit algorithm works, but it’s nice to get this off my chest anyhow.
To start off, what made me question my friendship is, well, my bday >.< Hear me out! Usually, I would try to give my close friends the best experience for their bday. In sec sch, I had many friends and maybe 2-3 cliques (everyone are friends actly), but only 2 ppl were considered close. Let’s name them person A and B.
I’ve always spent arnd an hr crafting long msgs (about 500 words) for them, expressing my heartfelt emotions and gratefulness towards them. This year, I planned to celebrate person A’s bday w her mom. (I texted her mom to ask her if they were going out on her bday, I told her to keep it a secret that we would be giving her a bday surprise at her hse etc) I gathered afew other friends to share the cost of buying her the bday cake and her gifts, and managed to get some of them to join me on her bday. Everyth turned out well and the day ended on a good note. Person A’s birthday is after mine, so I haven’t done anything for her yet. When it came to my bday (today), I expected them to be the first ones wishing me happy bday (I always make sure to wish them at 12am sharp, waiting in WhatsApp when it’s 11:58pm), but to my dismay the person who waited for 12am and wished me on the dot was a new friend I made from a school event, someone I’m not even that close to. Person A wished 30mins later, while person B wished 90mins later. Not only that, person A simply sent a voice recording saying she started recording at 11:58pm, and the voice recording was less than 3mins, with most of it being filler words and silence since she don’t usually do voice recordings (she decided to do it this time since I usually send msgs via voice recordings). Person B wrote a few lines of msg which I can tell is very last minute. It’s the first year all 3 of us are in different schools, which is all the more reason why I kind of need thag assurance that we’re still close but it already seems like we’re drifting.
My dad told me via text, I’ll just copy and paste “Everybody comes and goes, u will meet many more friends. But honestly, most of them won’t be true friends. In the end, family is the best. Cos I feel u will be in the same shoes as me…we excel to network with more ppl and be like king among them so they won’t be long term with us unless they need us. That sucks but that’s life. U will feel it and understand what I mean as u reach my level… or maybe u already beginning to feel, but I may be wrong. Rem what u do for others not necessarily they will reciprocate, that’s why u need to learn to do it without expecting them to treat you back as well or even do anything for you. Like the money I lend some is to close friends also now they disappear and rather hide from me then pay me and continue to be my buddy … Lol…But they around u to take advantage (sometimes) That’s why don’t overdo for your friends” Don’t mind his English lol, but while I do strive for excellence in my academics and personal growth, I also make it a point to treat everyone around me with respect and kindness. I guess I do expect people to reciprocate sometimes, but I always get disappointed.
Let me introduce person C. This guy is my neighbour, and we met on ML (yes mobile legends, but I quit alr). Apparently he found me via the location service which was actually creepy at first, but I learnt that he’s actually a nice guy. In fact, he’s the first person I’ve ever opened up so much to, I can confidently say he’s the one who knows me most, more than my friends in school, more than my family. Over our 3 years of rising from epic to mythical glory fighting for supreme titles in ml (brody player slay! actually I play assassins more but had brody and guinevere surpremes lol), we’ve made new friends together, grew our little social circle together and participated in tournaments with these new friends. Through these experiences we’ve talked a lot and got real close, and he actually confessed to me at one point in time but I turned him down. He seemed fine w it tho, we continued playing and having htht after that. It was until O lvls that I decided to sell my ml acc because I decided that it was taking up too much of my time, and so I did. I know that if I look back in the future, I’ll come to regret the hours I spent on ml when I could’ve spent that time learning a new skill or improving my studies and whatnot. When this happened, person C was very sad and he felt that we had nothing we could talk about anym since we usually bonded over ml. I suggested a swap to a low maintenance rs since we were practically talking to each other everyday, through voice calls or ml voice chats. However he started to bluetick me and didn’t reply my msgs when I told him about my new braces, which was an ordeal we were both supposed to go through tgt since he got Invisalign at shortly before I got braces, and I did discuss with him about this as well. He also didn’t wish me happy bday tdy, while I wished him and bought bbt for him on his bday. Hais… it feels like I’m losing a great friend now, and it rlly makes me question if I even have any true friends.
I get that person A is busy since she’s from RI but it’s holiday now so there should at least be some effort right…especially when we don’t have video calls everyday to do math together anymore. We really don’t chat as much as last year. But it’s only been one year, yet we’re alr drifting. Usually I’m the one initiating meetups and I tried to encourage them to do the same. I do see them putting in some effort but afterwards it was back to me again. Sometimes I wonder if this friendship is worth saving? But I really do treasure them, it just seems like they aren’t as devoted as I am to our fs. I actually have a person D, E and F but I think knowing the above is enough for y’all to get my situation :” I’m a very sensitive person which might be the problem here but still 🥹😭

Hey all! I need some advice! Im having a small issue with new kitty- she’s great- but she is tiny and fast.
A bit of background. I adopted an 8 week old kitten (now 9/10 weeks) from a shelter eleven days ago, since my resident cat (2.5 y/o neutered male) seemed in desperate need of extra stimulation. Obv I play with him multiple times a day, but I heard from the neighbors and stuff that he meows alot while I’m gone, and I hear him cry when I leave… and he’s clingy. I love him and I don’t work crazy hours, regular 8 hour workday, but here we are with a new baby and hopefully a new friendship.
They are at the point where they eat on opposite sides of the door, still some hissing and swatting, and sometimes he even ignores her when I have her in the kennel and let him into the room. I have a baby gate, but started face to face intros a few days ago with the kennel when I realized that the kitten would just jump over the thing. She just JUMPS over it! Little thing barely has a meow but can jump on my bed and dresser with ease and over this baby gate…. And even when I have it up and the door closed and she is in her room alone, sometimes I open the door and she is waiting and just launches herself down the hall and zoom we have a rogue kitten on the loose.
It feels really unfair to keep her in my room in the kennel… but it is way too soon for them to meet face to face I think. She just wants out of this room so bad. What’s funny is that I have started swapping locations and putting my resident cat in here and letting her roam the house and she keeps trying to get back in lol.
It seems like she really wants to play with her new brother!!! Is two weeks way too soon to let them loose together? I feel like I know that it is and patience is the best policy, but I’m feeling guilty about fencing baby in and just need to be reminded!
Here’s a video of them in my room yesterday more or less looking at me and eachother

TLDR; I can’t tell if our 2 cats hate each other or are just trying to play, and I need help interpreting their behavior. Possibly need help with how to proceed.
I want to start off by saying there have been NO full on attacks with either of the cats, and no blood has been drawn.
My husband and I moved in together about 6 months ago, him bringing 2 cats into the marriage and me bringing 3 cats. (His second cat recently passed away so now we have 4 cats total). My husbands cat, Z (2yo neutered male) and one of my cats, Frank (5yo neutered male) are showing behaviors that I can’t interpret, and I would say I’m fairly knowledgeable on cat behavior and body language. When we moved in together we took the recommended steps to introduce Z to all the cats. (Kept him in the spare room to smell them from under the door, swapped items that had the cats scents on them, we would put my cats in the spare room at night and let Z out to get used to the new house, fed them together through a baby gate, gave everyone pets and praise and treats when they had positive interactions). After about 3-4 weeks of that, with no more hissing or swatting, we let all the cats out together and it seemed to go fine at first. Z is a very skittish cat who needs his personal space. He’s friendly towards my husband and I (hides from strangers) but I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s friendly with the other cats. He doesn’t engage in play when they try to play with him, and if any of the other cats get in his personal space (even just walking past him) he’ll swat at them, let out a whine, and run off. My two younger cats have learned what’s he’s like and mostly leave him alone and stay out of his personal space. However, I think Z’s behavior has antagonized Frank. Frank is a massive cat, sitting at about 22lbs (he’s a little overweight but mostly just a big boned cat). He’s usually super chill, gets along easily with all animals and he LOVES all people. Despite him being chill 99% of the time, I believe he’s always seen himself as the “alfa” of all the cats (he was my first cat and I got him at 12 weeks old). When I’ve brought a new kitten home he would take the first day to hiss and swat at them to show them who’s boss, but by day two would be back to his old self as well as playing and grooming the new kittens. Z is the first adult cat he’s ever had to meet and get used to.
I believe the problem started the first time that Z swatted at Frank for getting into his personal space. I think Frank took that as a challenge, and Frank immediately retaliate by swatting back. There was a lot of raised hackles, tail lashing, and growling, but my husband broke it up before a full fight could start. Since then Frank seems to take pleasure in psychologically tormenting Z. He’ll do things like sit at the food bowl when Z wants to eat (we now have multiple food bowls around the house) or sitting in the doorway of one of the bedrooms when Z is in it, preventing Z from being able to leave the room. Frank will also stare down Z and follow him with his eyes when Z is walking by (while keeping his distance). Sometimes, and always when my husband and I aren’t watching, Z will let out a scream and come bolting out of wherever he was and hide, and when my husband and I investigate we’ll see Frank sitting or coming from the direction that Z ran from. Again, no one has ever been injured, but I don’t know if Frank is really hurting Z or if Z is being a drama queen. We HAVE set up areas where Z can go and Frank can’t follow, so that Z can get away from Frank if needed.
— CONFUSING PART: Frank will do this thing several times a day where he’s watching Z walk away, Frank will crouch and wiggle his butt, and then case after Z, initiating play maybe? But Z doesn’t run away, he’ll turn around and face Frank head on. But as soon as Z turns around to face him, Frank will stop in his tracks and lay down. They’ll stare at each other for a couple seconds and then Z will turn around and continue to walk away, while Frank watches or gets up and walks in the opposite direction to do something else. Sometimes Frank will chase Z and when he reaches him, and Z turns around, he’ll give his a soft swat, again, as if to initiate play? — SECOND CONFUSING PART: My husband and I will often see Frank and Z sitting near each other, as close as just a foot away, when they’re both looking out their favorite window. We’ll also see them laying together, but usually a few feet away from each other. Frank will even roll on his back and expose his belly when Z is sitting or laying just a few feet away. Z will also lay on his side, exposing his belly, but usually have his back to Frank (picture in comments). Sometimes when my husband and I are laying in bed Frank will come lay on my chest and Z will come and lay on my husbands chest, and both cats lay there without acknowledging the other.
So I really can’t tell what’s going on. They both seem wary of each other, but Frank goes out of his way to antagonize (?) Z, but I can’t tell if he’s trying to play or torment.
Any advice or insight would be appreciate!

Lets cuddle, get close, fuck, and fuck real bad because warm skins touching is just heaven.
I’m 5’11”, 180 lb, Middle Eastern descent, working professional, doing my grad school, have a family, and busy with a full life. I love what I’m doing, I love and value those around me but there is a side that I need/want/have to explore more.
I’m looking for a sneaky fwb relationship with a woman who is in a somewhat similar situation as I am. It can be either long or short term. I need to live the thrill of doing things in secret. I want to get away from my busy schedule for a quick car bj (I’m a 6”), a sneaky flirty coffee meet up, or cancel things off of my calendar to get to my girl for a half or full day of flirting, cuddling, dirty touching, fucking soft/hardcore, and exploring almost unlimited kinks. Some of my sexual kinks that I’m looking to explore with you is dirty talking and dom play.
I’m usually pretty generous with my partners when we’re together. I’m not a sugar daddy, to be clear, but I love to treat myself and my girl when the goal is to have a good time. I love for my fwb girl to try out some good Mediterranean food that you might not have tried out.
I’m open to any race, age, body type, marital status, social/financial situation. In general I’m pretty open to older ages, larger body types, and even married/in a relationship women, as long as it is drama free. Everything we do needs to be legal. You need to be clean, disease free, and dont smoke (at least when with me). I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. You can drink when you’re with me, but no drugs.
I’m looking for an indoor experience. Meaning I’m not generally interested in spending time going to the movies and/or bars. We can meet the first time in a public place for coffee but after that I’d want to be with you in a bedroom or a hotel suite just enjoying each others company. I love to chat, I’m a good listener, I love to have deeper thoughtful conversations too.
I can host and travel around DFW and even Texas if its worth it. Distance is not an issue to me. In fact I love to spend time cruising the roads with you sharing our music playlists lol.
Let me know how my post came across, and how you feel about it. If you are looking for what I’m looking for message me or send me a chat.
Its around 68 degrees in North Texas and will be like this for the rest of the weekend. This is a serious/real post and i’m looking for a woman who is as serious/real.
