You’ll find out if you stick around to watch the reveal! As a reminder, we had 83 participants. Our average score was 7.509, and our average controversy was 1.855 – so anything with a score over that should be considered controversial!

2023.04.01 22:13 rpboutdoors2 Is there a point where renovations won’t help home value?

Hey all, I bought a home for 540k in December of 21.
Current estimates are 600k, due to the housing prices we have seen. All the other homes in the neighborhood range from currently 500-750k.
Working on my house is my hobby, and before we sell, I plan on having renovated everything. New bathrooms, new paint, kitchen, added a 15x20 deck, garden, vinyl fence for trash cans, carpet, finishing half of the basement, and anything else I can get my hands on.
Is there a point, where my house can’t gain any more value because of the average value of the neighborhood?
I am trying to determine what I can renovate/build for the house, but don’t want to over-do it and not get a return on my work because of the max value of the neighborhood.

2023.04.01 22:13 _A_no_one_ Question for Expats living overseas: You haven't been home in 3 years and one of your parents' health is declining. WWYD?

Left in November 2020. It's April 2023 and I still haven't visited my folks yet. Since I moved to another country to be with my spouse a lot changed back home and not for the better. Parent who already had a prior health problem has their disease spreading in their body and another parent lost a job. I feel incredibly worried for them and scared if I wait too long there won't be a chance where I can see them again. My finances aren't great rn but I'm thinking of taking a flight back home (USA) around late 2023 or early 2024. Obviously wanna take my partner with me but I'm not sure they can stay as long as I want to (3+ months). WWYD in this situation?

2023.04.01 22:12 No-Assumption-4747 Roommate told me her dog was trained, this is the WORST dog I’ve ever encountered and now I’m living with it and idk what to do..

Okay so first let me start by saying, NONE of this is the DOGS fault. It’s 10000% the owners for not taking the time to properly train and care for the dog…
So here’s the story. I recently moved in with my friend who I’ve only known about 3 years. Her roommate moved out and she really needed someone to cover the other half of the rent. The place is pretty expensive so I didn’t want to move in at first & was looking at other places but she basically begged me because she loves my daughter so much lol. Now, I knew going into this that she wasn’t very responsible, but I did know she got this dog about 6 months ago so I asked her before moving in if the dog was house trained, and she said YES. 🙄 Well shortly after moving in I realize, that is 100000% false. Not only is the dog not house trained & pees and pops inside, it’s not trained like at ALL. The dog jumps on everyone that comes over (it’s a big dog) barks and growls and tries to attack any other dog it sees, tears up everything in sight, jumps up anywhere to get food, I mean the dog doesn’t even know how to “sit” like wtf?!?? How are you going to be home alone with a dog for 6 months and it can’t even sit?
And now, she has started a new job & I work from home so I’m stuck with the responsibility of an extremely untrained dog that I never signed up for…
So…. WHAT DO I DO 😫

2023.04.01 22:12 kidpickle My mom used my college fund for my brother as I’ve been out of school with my medical condition

I (19M) am a triplet and I have a personal medical condition that most people do not have and have needed surgeries. I had to temporarily leave college over it and will be returning soon and my mom causally told me she used my college fund for one of my brothers university. The other is in community and so was i. As if I don’t already feel inferior to him. Like I already haven’t struggled. She has set me up to struggle more. But it’s ok because now he gets more than I do. Shocker. Born into it and die with it. I’ll always be fucked.
She won’t tell me how much she used and she told me it’s her money when I kept asking. Who knows what that fucking means. Who even cares. Where am I going to get in life? I already knew I was going NOWHERE anyways. I have had an extremely hard everything due to this condition. I’ve been out for a year and I’m supposed to return September. I’ve come a long way so I am by no means at risk to myself absolutely whatsoever. I’ll just say I haven’t felt this absolutely horrible in awhile. Not to mention my brother says community college isn’t really college. That’s a different story. He says I’d be awful in college and I told him I was already in college and I had to leave. He said it’s not real and I have to accept I’m not book smart and not good enough and how that’s ok.
Like I already didn’t feel like a nobody. Inferior. That is how it’s been set up by birth and will always be set up. I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life. I want to be a physical therapist and he wants to be a journalist for basketball. Why didn’t she take it from my other brothers fund? Oh right!! He doesn’t have the medical condition I have either. Also that brother said he doesn’t want to do anything with his life because he says it’s wrong that he has to work to get money and that everyone should be able to survive without working.
Not like I can ever forget it that they don’t have it and I do. Not like I don’t see it in every picture we take together. Even when others say i look fine. It means close to nothing to me. I feel like a nobody who will get nowhere in life. He gets to come home everyday from his fancy private university with his hot girlfriend and active social life group of friends. I don’t. I never had much friends anyways. He has always been mr popular. I was always the exact opposite. Who cares at this point.
I want to know how much she actually used but part of me just feels numb. Who even cares. That’s just life. I’ll get over it. I’ve always had to work 10x harder in general. Who fucking cares at this point. Who fucking cares.

2023.04.01 22:12 ccaligula Yes, these weeks have been slow for most of us. That is how Depop works.

I feel like i'm seeing so many posts of "i'm getting no sales!!1!1" and it's kind of infuriating.
This is how the resale market works on depop and any other fashion resale market for that matter. it goes up and down. some weeks are gonna be lively, some aren't. especially since the global economy is currently pretty unstable, and the majority of people selling on depop are catering to the middle class, people just don't have the money to spend on clothing. If you are not buying anything, chances are, the general population isn't either. People's paychecks come in monthly and you'll be seeing the most activity near the end and beginning of each month as people get paid. if you don't want to wait, change the audience you are catering to, start selling expensive or collectors items, and advertise yourself to the people who aren't living paycheck to paycheck and can afford buying whatever they want, whenever they want.

2023.04.01 22:12 ImpressiveTalk7592 No port 32400 hole & allowed IPs & disallowed/logged IPs

A while back I posted about how to avoid having to expose Plex port 32400 (or whatever port you choose for remote access to Plex) on your firewall. I never liked the idea of leaving a port open only to serve up Plex content.
To me, alternative methods to negate the need for an open Plex port like using Xginx, Cloudflare, or tailscale are either too hard to set up or impose burdens on me or on my users.
So I set up an easy mechanism to allow known IPs and disallow unknown IPs. I grant the list of known (aliased) IPs access to 32400 and to (only) my Plex server. I did this in pfSense by using a firewall alias to capture the IP addresses of my remote users and a firewall rule to enforce it. The list of IPs was easy to get because I use Tautili, which lists users' IP addresses. I have a small audience so this is not a big deal.
Remote users' IP addresses can change of course although in my experience they remain stable (not static!) for months. Even so Plex will fall back to Relay when it encounters an unknown IP so that's not too bad. Tautili reports the IP address of users watching via Relay as 127.0.0.1.
So, 127.0.0.1 as the IP indicates a user with credentialed access to Plex but with an as-yet-identified IP.
The trick then became: how to identify the actual new or changed IP that led to my firewall blocking their access, when I only know them as Plex Relay 127.0.0.1?
For this, I use another firewall rule that logs access to Plex but DROPs packets for unknown IPs. Given that my user base is almost exclusively home viewers (not mobile) this is only an occasional thing. I periodically note if Tautili logs an event with IP address of 127.0.0.1, then I view the firewall logs around that timeframe to identify the actual IP, add it to the alias ... and done. For me and my user base, this requires little upkeep.
If I encounter an IP address that maps back to a mobile carrier I don't bother adding it to the alias -- Plex Relay at 720p/2 Mbps is sufficient in that case and the IPs dished out are too variable to bother. In my user base, mobile use is exceedingly rare.
I've attached a pic of my NAT setup indicating that I allow the custom Plex port on my firewall as normal. This allows traffic to NAT from my custom port (PlexExternalPort) to port 32400 (PlexInternalPort). The pic of the firewall shows how access to my Plex server (PlexServerIP) is granted on port 32400 (PlexInternalPort) to PlexUserIPs (known user alias). Another rule negates the PlexUserIPs, logs and blocks access - "anything not known gets dumped, but logged first". To the outside world, both my customer port and 32400 are "stealth" (GRC.com). To Plex Relay, access is still provided via 32400.
This works well for me.

[Get] Iman Gadzhi – Copy Paste Agency Full Course Download Instant Delivery
📷
You’ve stumbled across this page for a reason.
It’s not because you’ve heard of this crazy new business model called ‘SMMA’ and it’s not because you’re struggling to sign your first client.
It’s because you’re exasperated. You’re frustrated. And you know you can do better.
You’re stuck in a pair of “golden handcuffs”: running a mildly-successful agency but beholden to your clients, your staff, and your phone.
You’ve broken the one inviolable rule of running an agency and not kept a full pipeline.
You know that you can reach the upper echelon of agency owners making six-and-seven figures, whilst working less than six-and-seven hours a week.
You just don’t know how…
My name’s Iman Gadzhi and since 2017, I’ve run IAG Media. In this time, I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, enjoyed six-figure months and made my clients millions.
I’ve also lost multiple clients in a row, been over-worked and chained to the agency that I started to give me freedom.
All the while, I’ve refined, tweaked and optimized my agency whilst also creating GrowYourAgency.com – the world’s largest education company for agency owners.
But in early 2020, I realised there was a problem. For every beginner agency owner desperate to sign their first client, there were three experienced agency owners desperate for guidance, systems and processes, and a solution to their broken agency model.
It’s why I created Copy Paste Agency…
…not so I can show you how to sign a client or perform basic outreach.
So you could take, copy and paste the exact methods I use in my own agency into your agency.
Copy Paste Agency students learn:
How I continue to run a multiple-six-figure agency from home with a skeleton staff and minimal expenses.
How to command higher retainers… and retain those clients for longer.
How to automate, delegate, and optimize every area of your agency from lead generation and sales to service delivery and client communication.
Plus get access to the latest tools and software used by my own agency, IAG Media such as reporting templates.

2023.04.01 22:12 Slightly-Strategic Offering over home report and mortgage implications (Scotland)

Me and my partner want to offer 5k over the home report (330k valuation vs 335k offer) on a house in Scotland.
We want to put 5% (17k) deposit. If the offer is accepted would a lender offer us the mortgage for the full 95LTV offer amount or do we need to put down the 5k over the home report ourselves?

2023.04.01 22:12 Boring-Mix9864 A poem I wrote about the modern pressure of being a mother. It’s called “Simple”

All we have to be is better than our mothers before us? Ok that’s fine, I can do that. I can give up my job to stay at home with My hoard of children. I can entertain them all day with no help from modern technology. My children will not be zombies. I can cook fresh meals everyday. My children will not eat junk. I can completely trust and rely on my husband for our entire livelihoods And also give myself to his every whim. My husband will not feel unappreciated. Just give all of myself and then it will be simple?
“No. Don’t be passive aggressive, no need for a fuss We mean to act better than our mothers before us. To be kind with our words Let our children feel seen Let our children feel heard. Let them take it out on you, be their safe space Name their emotions, teach them Let them learn at their own pace.
Don’t say the word ‘no’ but No no no screentime You’re their entertainer Give constant affirmations or they will feel like a failure. Ditch all social media, unless it’s for gentle inspo Lead by example, you are who they look up to Leading by example, you must love their father dearly, Seeing how you behave will impact their future relationships severely Food? Don’t forget organic is always better Wait, have you remembered to teach them their letters? A, B, C 1, 2, 3 You will find, in time It’s always easier to teach silly children through rhymes Just give all of yourself and soon you will see Just how simple being a mother can be.”

Oh?

Two is ALWAYS better than one.

With the click clack of her cheap heels, La Marias struts out in her little mini dress in black with a wig straight out of a bag, and a smile on her face. “No me subestimen perras, para que no terminen llorando después.”
Marias pouts looks around, pouting. “Dumb bitches didn’t even hear me speak!”
La Marias: “English, now?” Marias rolls her eyes. “Holis, my name is La Marias, and I’m the prettiest girl you’ve ever seen.” Marias flutters her eyelashes. “I am 21 years old, and I am a drag performer from Chihuahua City, MEXICO.”
Marias drops a tiny purse on the table and smiles. “This is my domain, hmm?”
La Marias: “I am not one of those performers who is desperate to give gaudy glamour. Some people need to be the over the top, desperate drag to be beautiful- I do not. I’ve been charmed with natural beauty. I’m here to show myself- just gorgeous, really.” Marias smiles.
“Does this gig come with a cigarette or a cheese platter?” La Marias giggles.
Suddenly, in a gorgeous gingham dress that covers her entire body up to her neck, Southern Belle enters. “They call me Southern Belle.” Belle spins around, a layer of her outfit dropping to reveal a gingham mini dress showing off her body. “But I fuck like I’m from the best little damn whorehouse in Texas!”
Marias smirks.
Southern Belle: “Hello fucking hello!” Belle grins. “My name is Southern Belle, and I’m the sweetest little lady you’ve ever seen.” Belle winks. “I am a 27 year old drag performer from Nashville, Tennessee. I am a Southern Queen. I like big, fabulous drag- straight out of gone with the wind, but make it more grand- and just a little cheeky. Because I’ve got the ass for it, I mean- that’s one perk of having an obsession with cornbread and diabetes!” Belle chuckles. “I’m joking, I’m just PRE-DIABETIC.”
“Hello, gorgeous!” Belle smiles, hugging a slightly awkward La Marias.
La Marias: “Little Bo Peep became una prostituta?”
“My name is Southern Belle. And you are?”
“La Marias.” Marias grins.
“Oooh, THE Maria.” Belle smiles. “My dad usually calls me THE disappointment.”
Marias looks shocked for a moment.
“I kid! He doesn’t know I do drag.”
Marias smiles. “Mine just calls me a maric-”
Suddenly, arriving in a two piece look, with a black pink and yellow crop top, low riding black and yellow track pants and a long pink belt hanging loose, along with a black Beret with long hair, Cleo Mertoris arrives, as she begins to sing. “Cause I’m no ordinary girl..”
“Same!” Belle grins.
Marias nods.
Cleo Mertoris: “Oh, hi.” Cleo flicks back her hair. “I’m Cleo Mertoris, and I’m the Deep Blue beauty you love to look at.” Cleo grins. “I’m your Australian beauty, because God, the last Australian was anything but pretty.” Cleo laughs. “My drag is about my sexiness. I don’t need to wear much, because what I do have is gorgeous. I think of myself as a Siren- I’m here to lure you in with my beauty and voice… then I’ll kill you.”
“Hello, hello!” Belle grins, as Cleo looks around.
“I’m Belle- this is Marias.”
Marias waves.
Cleo Metoris: “I was suddenly taken aback. It’s clear the beauty wasn’t here- that girl looked straight out of the mall. The other one looked like mutton dressed as lamb. Where’s the beauty?”
“How long have you been doing drag?” Cleo looks at Marias, who raises an eyebrow.
“Long enough.” Marias responds.
“Cute.” Cleo laughs.
La Marias: “Oh, I know a girl like that. These girls… they love to judge.”
Cleo Metoris: “It’s drag race, girl. Step it up.”
La Marias: “I can handle them.”
Belle grins. “So, how the fuck are we doing?”
Cleo turns in surprise.
“I have a real potty mouth, sorry.” Belle grins.
“You know, it’s often those without class who speak vulgar.” Cleo laughs.
Belle makes a face for a moment, then it sinks in.
Louise Vuitton sashays into the room wearing a floor-length sequined gown, complete with a fur stole draped over her shoulders. As she struts towards the other queens, she snaps her fingers and quips, "I hope you brought your sunglasses, ladies, because this Queen is serving up some blinding beauty!"
“...Passable.” Cleo says.
Marias flips her hair, already annoyed by Cleo.
Louise Vuitton: “My name is Louise Vuitton, and darling, I’m here to show you a Fashion Queen your dreams.” Louise smiles. “What would I describe my brand as?”
Louise touches her gown with a smile, letting the others soak it in.
Louise Vuitton: “Supermodel.” Louise flicks back her hair and grins. “I’m a new era drag Queen. For me, looking good is at the forefront. Then, moving. Making myself the star is important, and I really am here with a fire in my stomach. I know I can elevate drag, here. So they aren’t ready.”
“So, where are you based?” Cleo asks.
“New York City. Big Apple.” Louise grins.
“Oh, she’s a damn city bitch.” Belle chuckles.
“Best damn city in the world.” Louise nods.
“I spy an accent, though…” Belle responds.
“We don’t talk about Alaska.” Louise quips.
“Oh, you’re a dead fish.” Cleo responds.
Louise looks at Cleo.
Louise Vuitton: “Not a fan of her.”
“Someone just loves to keep talking…” Marias mutters under her breath.
“I’m the rainbow fish.” Loiuse smiles.
The sound of an engine revs somewhere outside the werkroom, and there’s a mechanical chugging.
Cleo looks around, confused. “Does anyone hear that?”
Belle nods. “Damn, Is it getting louder?”
“Duh.” Marias says. “It’s definitely getting–”
Suddenly, riding an inflatable green John Deere tractor, Bessie Big Sky arrives in a red and black chequered jumper, plus a blue jean corset and huge blonde wig. She jumps off the moving tractor…and somersaults forward to strike a pose!
“Here’s Bessie!” she yells in her Mountain twang, grinning wildly. “Welcome to Big Sky Country!”
“Yee Haw!” Belle says.
“Americans.” Cleo rolls her eyes.
Bessie Big Sky: “As the dust settles from my epic entrance, I feel my heart racing with excitement. I'm here with these fabulous ladies, ready to take on whatever challenges come our way. Growing up in Big Sky Country, I always dreamed of being part of something bigger than myself. And now, here I am, living that dream. Sure, some people might think I'm a little over the top with my inflatable tractor and wild outfits, but that's just who I am. I'm Bessie Big Sky, and I'm not afraid to be bold, daring, and a little bit crazy. So buckle up, ladies, because this ride is going to be one for the books!”
“How we all doing this evening?” Bessie bows.
“...It’s morning.” Cleo responds.
“Oh no, this is our night.” Bessie chuckles, throwing her closet on the table as she exhales. “Woof.”
Bessie Big Sky: “I’m a proud mountain drag artist. We don’t get shown off much- but I believe we have the best drag in the world.”`
“So you’re a rural Queen, I'm guessing?” Belle smiles.
“Proudly so. I slayed a bear for the hide for my boots.” Bessie points down with a smirk.
“Did you really?” Louise gasps.
“...No.” Bessie chuckles, as everyone laughs.
Louise Vuitton: “Oh, I didn’t get that.”
Finally, Oda Nobuna struts into the werkroom, dressed up in full Drag Daimyo fantasy, looking like a fierce samurai goddess about to march into battle. As she walks into the werkroom she says "If the cuckoo won't sing..." She drops to the floor in a split as she takes a sword out and slashes it. "Kill it."
“Werk.” Marias claps.
Oda Nobuna: “Hello, world.” Nobuna bows, smiling. “My name is Oda Nobuna, and I am proud to be here. For those who do not know my namesake, I am inspired by the famous warlord from my country who represents both the progressive and audacious traits that I admire. I am a proud performer, visual artist and actor- and I am here to slay these others in an effort to take on this competition. At any cost.” She smiles.
“This?” Bessie grins. “I love a warrior.”
“I’m a lover, not a fighter.” Belle smiles.
You’ve got drag mail!
“Wait, what the fuck?” Belle says.
“This- this isn’t right…” Louise looks concerned.
Bring your sunscreen. Bring your towel. Let’s get wet.
“There’s only 6 of us…” Cleo responds.
La Marias: “Thanks, Captain Obvious.”
It’s Drag Time, BITCHES!
Chronologica smiles as the racers still look confused at her.
Hi racers. I’m so happy to be here, with you. You 6 will be competing for the title of America’s next drag superstar. The winner of this Season will win a fierce crown and sceptre from Moxie Maniac Jewels, the title of next Drag Superstar and $50,000!
This season, I’ve decided to split our cast up with a double premiere in order to really get to know each of you all.
“Fabulous.” Nobuna grins.
We are getting STRAIGHT into the action. For our first maxi challenge… it’s time for a BALL!
Everyone gasps.
Racers, you will be serving us three fabulous looks in The Summer Ball! First, Beach Babe. Then, Summer Night Elegance. Finally…
The pit crew run out with thousands of pool toys.
Making your own looks, Pool Toy Eleganza Extravaganza!
Louise Vuitton: “Fashion is a passion. I’m ready to look fabulous.”
This is a challenge to show up and stand out. There is even MORE of a spotlight on you, with a smaller cast. And someone WILL go home. So… good luck… and don’t FUCK IT UP!
~
The racers start chatting as they prepare for the maxi challenge.
La Marias: “For our maxi challenge, we are doing a ball. I love balls.”

La Marias: “Oh…. meh.”
“How are all you pretty pals going with this challenge?” Belle grins.
“Looks are important.” Louise says. “For me, that’s a highlight of drag.”
“I feel the same.” Nobuna grins. “Tell me, what is your inspiration?”
“Glamour.” Louise responds. “I always wanted to be the most beautiful girl.”
“Sorry you aren’t that.” Cleo laughs. “Cause I’m here!”
Nobody laughs.
“Joking!” Cleo chuckles.
“Not a funny joke, but werk.” Marias whispers.
“I just- for me, to show my beautiful capability- drag is my best form, I do fashion, I deliver looks… I’m classic.” Louise nods. “And I like to wear gowns- big grand drag, me and my sister often put together.”
“Sister?” Nobuna asks.
“Twin.” Louise responds.
“Oh, lovely.” Nobuna nods.
Oda Nobuna: “Louise is clearly a threat in a fashion challenge. But her drag is classic. I believe myself to elevate it.”
“I think honing in on those classic instincts is a smart idea.” Nobuna grins.
Louise nods.
Oda Nobuna: “A standout piece can outdo the basic.”
“For me, looks are fun- but mine are darn dedicated to a specific brand.” Bessie grins. “I’m a Westerner. I show that in my drag.”
“Us rural ladies can really stand out on our own.” Belle smiles.
“I’m damn excited for my take on summer.” Bessie nods.
The others look over at Cleo and Marias, with Marias being quite silent.
“What about you, Marias?” Belle asks.
“Drag is drag.” Marias responds. “I don’t really make my own…”
La Marias: “Truly, I tend to buy at the mall.”
“Making your own drag is an important skill I believe.” Bessie turns to Belle, who nods.
“Yeah, even if I don’t always think mine looks great- it’s mine…” Belle says.
“It’s fine, i’ll make it work.” Maria shrugs, before looking down.
La Marias: “I am not like these other divas. I’m not here with the big, dramatic drag. But I turn and see Cleo and...”
“I’m just draping this around my body. Not even sewing.” Cleo laughs.
La Marias: “She’s not even trying. And you know what I have to say to that?”
“I mean, I know I’ll look good in it.” Cleo chuckles.
La Marias: “Stop relying on that body…”
~
The racers continue working on their tasks as Chronologica enters the werkroom.
Hello, Southern Belle!
“Belle if you’re nasty, and I’m filthy.” Belle winks.
Well, well, well Belle… how do you feel about our ball?
“I feel… good.” Belle nods.
Good?
“I like a sexy look. I think of myself as pretty damn pretty…”
These looks are solid. Have you brought them? Or-
“I make all my drag.” Belle says.
You should’ve lead with that!
“Well-” Belle looks shyly.
Clearly- you have the talent. So please, show up, with this level of quality- and I expect to see it confident and ready.
“Yes, Missy.” Belle grins.
How do you think your competitors are fairing?
“The girls all look lovely. Some a little more refined then others…” Belle grins.
I see.
Belle giggles.

Hi, Marias.
“Chronologica.” Marias responds.
What is your drag?
“It’s just-” Marias smiles, her face lighting up. “A fabulous time with a gorgeous girl.”
Chronologica chuckles.
I like that. How are you going to present that in this ball?
“For me, it’s just- showing up, and giving that fun flair.” Marias smiles. “To be the Queen at the centre… these are what I want to deliver with these looks.”
Chronologica looks down.
I see some simple concepts. So I want you to glitter, Marias… because these girls are here to bite.
“I have bite, too.” Marias responds.
How do you think your competitors are fairing?
“...I think Cleo is just pretty.” Marias says. “I think Nobuna brings something different, I wonder how it’ll translate. To me, Bessie and Belle seem similar… Louise is… classic, drag.” Marias says, with a hint of shade.
You’re an observer.
“I have thoughts.” Marias smiles.

Bessie Big Sky!
“Ms Chronologica.” Bessie bows.
Chronologica grins.
We are doing the summer ball. What’s summer for you?
“Big open skies, smile on my face. My lovers by my side, the fresh air, smiles and love. The salt of the earth on my feet and … joy.” Bessie grins.
That’s beautiful. How do you think your competitors are faring?
“Oh…” Bessie grins. “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling.”
All I’m asking is for you to talk how others are faring.
“They’re all lovely.” Bessie nods.
Totally. Who do you think will bottom?
“I- genuinely have no idea.” Bessie says.
Well I look forward to seeing you push this drag, showing yourself. And don’t forget to show us how you stand out.
“I will.” Bessie grins.
~
The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage.
“It is like, mighty damn crazy thinking there’s a whole other half of us yet to enter…” Bessie says.
“Right?” Louise nods. “I wonder…” Louise purses her lips.
“I’m just excited to get to know you all sexy little things.” Belle grins. “Tell me. Why did ya’ll apply?”
“For me- it was clear. I think I’ve proven my drag is amazing, at the level I expect a superstar to be and I love it. So, the world deserves me.” Louise purses her lips.
La Marias: “Oooh… Cocky.” Marias says.
“I love TV; I think I am fierce, and yeah- the same, really- look, I’m an Indigenous Australian woman in a world we don’t get to shine often. So I’m going to make my presence known.” Cleo responds.
“I like that.” Bessie says.
La Marias: “Similar to Louise. Cocky. But the TV mention makes me think. I’m not here because this is a show. I’m here because this is a competition I can compete in.”
“For me, my drag is to show the world I can do it.” Marias responds, before the others continue to speak.
“Bozeman has power. I love where I live. I feel like- people think of the big city, those Queer meccas- but not all of us live there. Not all of us… want to. I love where I am.” Bessie says. “And I want to show it.”
La Marias: “Sweet. Perhaps too dedicated to that specific genre of drag…”
“I wanted to move to those big cities.” Belle responds. “But I couldn’t afford it. I still can’t- which is why I make my own drag. Moved to Nashville, as that was in my budget.” Belle laughs. “I can’t afford much.”
La Marias: “She’s self conscious.”
“I only moved to NYC because like…” Louise shrugs. “Inheritance.”
“Well, lucky you.” Cleo chuckles.
Louise looks annoyed, as she continues to paint.
“My partner is a drag artist.” Oda Nobuna says. “She is everything. Talented, powerful- gorgeous and dazzling. She MAKES it.” Nobuna grins. “For me.”
The others grin.
“She auditioned for season 1. Didn’t get in. We both did in season 2. She took it hard when she didn’t get in. And then… just before season 3 auditioned, she was in an accident.”
Everyone looks over at Nobuna, who looks sadly for a moment.
“I’m so sorry…” Belle puts her hand on Nobuna’s shoulder.
“I chose to audition this time for her. I love drag. And I know she’d be here if she didn’t. I’m doing this for her… but also, for me too. Because I know I can. She knew I could.” Nobuna grins, as the others all look at her with pride.
La Marias: “Nobuna… that one is powerful.”
“...What’s happened to her now, if I can ask?” Louise says.
“She’s still in a coma.” Nobuna nods, looking down sadly.
The others frown.
“But… perhaps she can watch this- this first episode, and be proud of her love.” Nobuna nods.
“That’s sweet.” Bessie grins.
Oda Nobuna: “All I said was truth. But these girls may see may as the wounded little bird. And by design, I’m happy with that. Because that gives me the opportunity to strike. I KNOW I can win this challenge.”
Nobuna smirks.
Oda Nobuna: “And the battle begins.”

2023.04.01 22:12 lovinglavendar I’m numb

I have been married to my husband for a year and a half but we have been together for 11 years. I truly cannot remember the last weekend that didn’t involve some sort of fiasco related to his drinking. It’s always “I’ll be home soon.” At this point I don’t even believe what he tells me because of how rarely he follows through with his word. It ranges from him just not coming home at all to him stumbling home at 4am or even later. The unpredictability in his behavior is exhausting; explosive anger and alcoholism combined. He may just fall asleep, he may wake me, he may go into an anger fit and destroy things in our house. I’ve isolated myself and perfected appearing okay but I am far from. I can feel that I’m losing myself. I’ve lost joy, and at this point I’m just in survival mode on autopilot. I’m embarrassed I’ve let myself stay in this situation so long that no one really knows the extent of what has gone on. Ive been gradually letting go of being the fixer and covering things up and trying to work on myself. He’s proven to me time and time again he isn’t willing to get help though he recognizes he has a problem. I feel that I’m getting closer to a point of letting go and leaving but thinking about how is so overwhelming.

Chronologica's Drag Race Season 3: Episode 1- The Summer Ball
Kaneq, hello?
Kaneq, in a red phoenix outfit, looks confused.
It’s getting hot in here, should we get out of here?
“But… the Volcano?” Kaneq asks.
Oh, I'll get the less important ones to fix it.
Ella Mayeaux, Drag Princesita, Slurpiana Cocktail and Queen Quincy, in full drag start to hose down the volcano.
“Fabulous.” Kaneq says.
Chronologica and Kaneq fly off into the air.
“Is it time?” Kaneq asks.
Oh, it’s time…
“Let’s split them up this time.” Kaneq grins. “I have an idea.”
Oh?
“Two balls.” Kaneq smirks.
Two is ALWAYS better than one.
Chronologica winks.
Let’s DO IT!

“...Passable.” Cleo says.

“So you’re a rural Queen, I'm guessing?” Belle smiles.

Finally, Oda Nobuna struts into the werkroom, dressed up in full Drag Daimyo fantasy, looking like a fierce samurai goddess about to march into battle.

“There’s only 6 of us…” Cleo responds.
La Marias: “Thanks, Captain Obvious.”
It’s Drag Time, BITCHES!
Chronologica smiles as the racers still look confused at her.
Hi racers. I’m so happy to be here, with you. You 6 will be competing for the title of America’s next drag superstar. The winner of this Season will win a fierce crown and sceptre from Moxie Maniac Jewels, the title of next Drag Superstar and $50,000!

“Sorry you aren’t that.” Cleo laughs. “Cause I’m here!”
Nobody laughs.
“Joking!” Cleo chuckles.
“Not a funny joke, but werk.” Marias whispers.
“I just- for me, to show my beautiful capability- drag is my best form, I do fashion, I deliver looks… I’m classic.” Louise nods. “And I like to wear gowns- big grand drag, me and my sister often put together.”
“Sister?” Nobuna asks.
“Twin.” Louise responds.
“Oh, lovely.” Nobuna nods.
Oda Nobuna: “Louise is clearly a threat in a fashion challenge. But her drag is classic. I believe myself to elevate it.”
“I think honing in on those classic instincts is a smart idea.” Nobuna grins.
Louise nods.
Oda Nobuna: “A standout piece can outdo the basic.”
“For me, looks are fun- but mine are darn dedicated to a specific brand.” Bessie grins. “I’m a Westerner. I show that in my drag.”
“Us rural ladies can really stand out on our own.” Belle smiles.
“I’m damn excited for my take on summer.” Bessie nods.
The others look over at Cleo and Marias, with Marias being quite silent.
“What about you, Marias?” Belle asks.
“Drag is drag.” Marias responds. “I don’t really make my own…”
La Marias: “Truly, I tend to buy at the mall.”
“Making your own drag is an important skill I believe.” Bessie turns to Belle, who nods.
“Yeah, even if I don’t always think mine looks great- it’s mine…” Belle says.
“It’s fine, i’ll make it work.” Maria shrugs, before looking down.
La Marias: “I am not like these other divas. I’m not here with the big, dramatic drag. But I turn and see Cleo and...”
“I’m just draping this around my body. Not even sewing.” Cleo laughs.
La Marias: “She’s not even trying. And you know what I have to say to that?”
“I mean, I know I’ll look good in it.” Cleo chuckles.
La Marias: “Stop relying on that body…”

The racers continue working on their tasks as Chronologica enters the werkroom.
Hello, Southern Belle!
“Belle if you’re nasty, and I’m filthy.” Belle winks.
Well, well, well Belle… how do you feel about our ball?
“I feel… good.” Belle nods.
Good?
“I like a sexy look. I think of myself as pretty damn pretty…”
These looks are solid. Have you brought them? Or-
“I make all my drag.” Belle says.
You should’ve lead with that!
“Well-” Belle looks shyly.
Clearly- you have the talent. So please, show up, with this level of quality- and I expect to see it confident and ready.
“Yes, Missy.” Belle grins.
How do you think your competitors are fairing?
“The girls all look lovely. Some a little more refined then others…” Belle grins.
I see.
Belle giggles.

Hi, Marias.
“Chronologica.” Marias responds.
What is your drag?
“It’s just-” Marias smiles, her face lighting up. “A fabulous time with a gorgeous girl.”
Chronologica chuckles.
I like that. How are you going to present that in this ball?
“For me, it’s just- showing up, and giving that fun flair.” Marias smiles. “To be the Queen at the centre… these are what I want to deliver with these looks.”
Chronologica looks down.
I see some simple concepts. So I want you to glitter, Marias… because these girls are here to bite.
“I have bite, too.” Marias responds.
How do you think your competitors are fairing?
“...I think Cleo is just pretty.” Marias says. “I think Nobuna brings something different, I wonder how it’ll translate. To me, Bessie and Belle seem similar… Louise is… classic, drag.” Marias says, with a hint of shade.
You’re an observer.
“I have thoughts.” Marias smiles.

Bessie Big Sky!
“Ms Chronologica.” Bessie bows.
Chronologica grins.
We are doing the summer ball. What’s summer for you?
“Big open skies, smile on my face. My lovers by my side, the fresh air, smiles and love. The salt of the earth on my feet and … joy.” Bessie grins.
That’s beautiful. How do you think your competitors are faring?
“Oh…” Bessie grins. “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling.”
All I’m asking is for you to talk how others are faring.
“They’re all lovely.” Bessie nods.
Totally. Who do you think will bottom?
“I- genuinely have no idea.” Bessie says.
Well I look forward to seeing you push this drag, showing yourself. And don’t forget to show us how you stand out.
“I will.” Bessie grins.
~
The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage.
“It is like, mighty damn crazy thinking there’s a whole other half of us yet to enter…” Bessie says.
“Right?” Louise nods. “I wonder…” Louise purses her lips.
“I’m just excited to get to know you all sexy little things.” Belle grins. “Tell me. Why did ya’ll apply?”
“For me- it was clear. I think I’ve proven my drag is amazing, at the level I expect a superstar to be and I love it. So, the world deserves me.” Louise purses her lips.
La Marias: “Oooh… Cocky.” Marias says.
“I love TV; I think I am fierce, and yeah- the same, really- look, I’m an Indigenous Australian woman in a world we don’t get to shine often. So I’m going to make my presence known.” Cleo responds.
“I like that.” Bessie says.
La Marias: “Similar to Louise. Cocky. But the TV mention makes me think. I’m not here because this is a show. I’m here because this is a competition I can compete in.”
“For me, my drag is to show the world I can do it.” Marias responds, before the others continue to speak.
“Bozeman has power. I love where I live. I feel like- people think of the big city, those Queer meccas- but not all of us live there. Not all of us… want to. I love where I am.” Bessie says. “And I want to show it.”
La Marias: “Sweet. Perhaps too dedicated to that specific genre of drag…”
“I wanted to move to those big cities.” Belle responds. “But I couldn’t afford it. I still can’t- which is why I make my own drag. Moved to Nashville, as that was in my budget.” Belle laughs. “I can’t afford much.”
La Marias: “She’s self conscious.”
“I only moved to NYC because like…” Louise shrugs. “Inheritance.”
“Well, lucky you.” Cleo chuckles.
Louise looks annoyed, as she continues to paint.
“My partner is a drag artist.” Oda Nobuna says. “She is everything. Talented, powerful- gorgeous and dazzling. She MAKES it.” Nobuna grins. “For me.”
The others grin.
“She auditioned for season 1. Didn’t get in. We both did in season 2. She took it hard when she didn’t get in. And then… just before season 3 auditioned, she was in an accident.”
Everyone looks over at Nobuna, who looks sadly for a moment.
“I’m so sorry…” Belle puts her hand on Nobuna’s shoulder.
“I chose to audition this time for her. I love drag. And I know she’d be here if she didn’t. I’m doing this for her… but also, for me too. Because I know I can. She knew I could.” Nobuna grins, as the others all look at her with pride.
La Marias: “Nobuna… that one is powerful.”
“...What’s happened to her now, if I can ask?” Louise says.
“She’s still in a coma.” Nobuna nods, looking down sadly.
The others frown.
“But… perhaps she can watch this- this first episode, and be proud of her love.” Nobuna nods.
“That’s sweet.” Bessie grins.
Oda Nobuna: “All I said was truth. But these girls may see may as the wounded little bird. And by design, I’m happy with that. Because that gives me the opportunity to strike. I KNOW I can win this challenge.”
Nobuna smirks.
Oda Nobuna: “And the battle begins.”

2023.04.01 22:10 ger_mex9 7-11 douche

So as you can tell this is about a 7-11 cashier about that I have one short and one long story about him. He is n ASSHOLE and I'm not really the judgy type unless you're disrespectful. But this guy who we will call tony was something else. He worked the Graveyard shift and whenever it got busy he would start talking shit to the customers inside. I.E. " why the fuck are you shopping, this isn't HEB" or "the fuck why don't you assholes go to Valero." (actual quotes). I would tend to let it go because deep down inside I got a little schadenfreude whenever he got this way. but this leads us to story one.

I'm a driver so one day (I think I was on my break) I swing in and tony was there, and he was in a mood. when I walked in there were 3 females who were clearly from the east side (rough part).
he said "why the fuck are all of you people here?" anyway these 3 ladies took offense and went outside. I went grabbed a topo chico and went to the counter to get my schadenfreude on.
however, that stopped real quickly when a large African American man come in with his buddy right behind him and shouted "YO WHY YOU TALKING SHIT TO ME GIRL THE FUCK?" then he shoves his hand into his pocket, then he and tony started trading insults.
let's just say I have a fair amount of tactical training ranging from military to law enforcement. I kicked into survival mode seeing where this was going. I told the dude behind me to back up to the wall about 7ms away and tell him to stay low. I back up a bit to get some concealment, but I made sure to leave my right side exposed. you see I was carrying my Glock 45 (i can carry one in my state,) and placed my hand on the grip, looking squarely at this pissed-off man. He doesn't acknowledge me and to be frank I am no longer listening and just looking at his hand, and I can clearly tell something was in there. I didn't know what else to say so I just stood there watching. eventually after a bit of arguing his buddy tap him on the shoulder and pointed at me. he looks over. Thankfully, he realized that was a fight he wouldn't win and left. his buddy saying loud enough for me to hear, "Man I told him to leave the gun in the car." at this point I could have shit myself cause I thought I was going to have to shoot someone. so I get back in line and tony is acting like he just won WW2 all by himself. "yeah people who talk shit aren't tough they really are nothing more than a bunch of pussies." All I could think was 'are you serious? you started all that shit' At this point I'm no longer amused by his antics, especially considering I just saved his ass getting swissed cheesed by some gang banger. now, this leads us to our next story.

So like I said I was done with that douche's behavior. I literally stopped going to that 7-11 cause I knew if he was working the chances of me being in a shoot-out rise dramatically, especially in my state where every tom dick and harry is allowed to carry. but one day I get really sick while I'm working and I need some food and the one shop near me was open at that time of night. I go down there and I am literally praying to god that tony isn't working. Well, I get there and what do you know? It's fucking tony.
so I shuffle in with my facemask on (I got the coof) only to hear tony going hard in the paint. "why are all of you here, it is a Friday go get a fucking life?" and some other shit. it gets to the point where people start walking out, right after they came in. as I was sick and knew I had to get enough stuff to hold me over this go targets me "why are you shopping? this isn't HEB."
that one almost set me off. but it was when an old lady come in and he pipes off again. "GOD WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE JUST GO TO VALARO"
That was the moment I lost control of my mouth. it doesn't happen often but I will fucking send it. I walk up to the counter and I slam my shit on the counter. "Bro what the fuck is your damn problem, you can't talk to people like that. I hear it EVERY FUCKING time I come in here" I damn near shouted the best I could with my messed up throat but it was enough to get everyone's attention.
but he did something I didn't expect. This sick fuck smiled "GET THE FUCK OUT" he said "this is my favorite part. this is my store I can do what I want"
Now normally since my state is a stand-you-ground state, and I have a chip on my shoulder I usually like playing chicken with bullies. However that it being a stand-your-ground state it is also VERY specific on trespassing but trespassing while armed with firearm charges to a felony and taken very seriously. so playing chicken with this asshole wasn't an option unless I want new wrist accessories courtesy of my local police. so as I walk out I call him a bitch pussy, and question his manhood for shouting at an old lady for no reason. so now I decide to get fucking petty. I'm off for the next 2 weeks anyways, so I need something to do. when I get home I look up how to report him. I had to wait till 8 am to call customer service. now before we get into this, I want to add some things for clarity. early on when I knew tony we were chill. in fact one time he showed me his baton and stun gun he carried. okay back to the story. so I set my alarm for 7:30 in the morning. when I walk up I set my alarm for 8 and go walk the dogs. I walked them pretty close to the 30 min mark. I went to my computer and waited for the last couple of minutes, and confirmed the number I needed to call. after navigating the annoying menu I finally get a human


7-11 CS: "7-11 customer service how can I help you?"
me: "yes I want to file a report with you about an incident that happened last night. 7-11 CS: "sure tell me what happened sir"
Me: "while to be honest its no just last night but is a pattern of behavior of one of your employees named tony, you see he cusses out the guest all the time he has shown me his stun gun and even clacked it while working, and is just a general un friendly disrespectful person.
7-11CS: " can you give me a couple of examples of things he says?"
ME: "of course" and I proceed to go through a list of shit he said which would frankly just be tiring to write.
after that, I add
ME: "btw if you want video evidence check your cameras"
7-11 CS: "we do not have audio sir"
me: "hear me out you don't need audio, just listen to me and check what I'm saying off of what you see."
711 CS: "I can't look at the video but I can send your comments to the regional manager and he can view the video"
me: "that's fine,
7-11 CS:" okay so what happened?
Me: "at 1030 at night I walked in, and tony was acting like the asshole he always does shouting at everyone. and if you look at the 1030- 1035 time frame you can see multiple people coming in and leaving almost immediately because of his verbal abuse. at around 1035-1040, I slammed my shit on the table flipped out him, and told him off. if you look when I got to slam my shit on the counter I had to walk 15- 20 feet to do that. why would I do that and point at him if he wasn't verbally harassing a customer? why would multiple potential customers leave right after coming in?"

7-11 CS "o my lord, none of this is acceptable and I will send everything to the regional manager.
I exchange pleasantries and hang up. later I got an email from the regional manager he said sorry and basically that he would be punished and not fired. I was kind of annoyed and when I stated this, he told me he understood, but he swore he would be punished adequately. I wasn't enthused with that until one day by happen chance I picked up a cashier to talk her to 711 a couple of weeks later. I saw where I was dropping her off and I mentioned tony. "yeah that dude is such a dick, and thinks is hot shit." she said
I responded " you know I reported him a little while ago"
"OMG THAT WAS YOU, HELL YES THANK YOU"
she proceed to explain why she was grateful. Apparently tony was the store's resident douche. he act like an asshole to everyone for no reason and he was king shit since he was one of the few cashiers who could work at night by himself. at least until my phone call. Once that came in his regional manager tore him a new asshole. on topics ranging from carrying weapons to work to customer service. He was then moved to the morning shift with the manager where he could be watched at all times and if he fucked up once he was done. this lady I was driving was happy because she wanted the graveyard shift badly and was happy when it opened up.

apparently after that, he became a lot more humble so I guess the punishment worked, so I'm glad he wasn't fired in retrospect. in fact, I drove him a couple of months after it happened. His entire demeanor changed overall, and he didn't recognize me. what makes it even funnier he gave me a 5-dollar tip. All's well that ends well.
