A fine drizzle was coming down on the town of Starlight Rose. A familiar wolf-kin beasta in red robes that appeared to be shimmering despite the cloudy gloom of the day was walking along the main road. In his right hand, he held a long polished oak staff, topped with a red glowing gemstone the size of his fist. In his left hand, held away from his body, was a tan leather satchel, the drawstring tied in a knot. It appeared full, and seemed to shudder and wriggle. Felixin smiled and nodded to passing villagers.
"Hey there, Felixin," came the rumbling voice of Earl Shatterknuckle. The blonde dwarf, presently wearing just simple brown leather trousers, fell in step beside his taller friend. Felixin looked down at the dwarf, whose smaller frame was bulging with muscles, with blue and gold glowing tattoos tracing intricate spider-web-like symbols across his chest and arms, smiling back.
"Good day to you, Earl," the wolf said. There was a spitting-chittering sound coming from the bag, making Felixin pause and frown before giving the satchel a good whack with his magical staff. "Quiet, you!" he hissed at it.
"Caught yourself another evil spirit, eh?" Earl said with a smirk.
"Oh yes, and this one was quite the nasty piece of work. I'm on my way back to my lab to properly dispose of it. I think it's from some destroyed remnant of Eld technology, one of the ones that gained sentience, or at least some spiritual semblance to it," Felixin said as he gave the bag another whack when it started to make some electronic beeping sounds.
"Oh?" Earl asked, curious. "I remember more than once we had some nasty run-ins with Eld-tech back when we were adventurers."
"I remember you and Melthi being the ones to turn the blasted machines on, both times when cautioned not to," Felixin said pointedly, making the dwarf chuckle.
"What can I say? We're both curious by nature!"
"Yes, that's one word for it," Felixin said with a smile, remembering his adventuring days and the party of friends he would regularly travel with. "Anyways. For some reason, about six years ago, they suddenly became much more prevalent. Thankfully, their numbers have been dropping back down over the years."
"What makes you think this one is from Eld tech?"
"It kept saying 'Does not compute!' over and over again, while also identifying some kind of rabbit threat." Felixin's mood seemed to shift and his ears laid back on his head, while his tail dipped, almost long enough to drag on the ground behind him. "And when it mentioned rabbits, it made me think of my little princess."
Earl rolled his eyes as he reached up and clapped the town wizard on the back. "Ah, Kiana'll be back to visit before you know it."
"I know... it's just, one minute she was this little delicate baby girl, and the next minute, she was this amazing young woman, all ready to up and go out."
"Didn't Kiana kick down a couple of brick walls when she was a baby?" Earl asked, scratching his head. Felixin waved a dismissive paw at that.
"Pure coincidences. Those walls were clearly unsound and improperly constructed, so much so that when she was having one of her tantrums just a little punch or kick was enough to send them tumbling down. We're lucky she wasn't hurt or scared, just confused and curious more than anything. Anyways, I just get so worried when I think of her, out there on the open road. Just so... vulnerable. Thankfully I made sure to instill in her a proper sense of caution." Earl snorted at that.
Meanwhile...
Kiana let out a roar of fury as her trusted tetsubo connected with the raised steel shield of the bandit before her. The metal dented and warped just as the bandit, shield and all, became airborne. They traveled in an arc straight towards a stone tower connected to an old run-down fort the bandits had holed up in. The screaming man smashed into the top of the tower, crumbling it, his screams instantly going silent.
"Fire!" Kiana heard a deep voice shout. There were several blasts and, thanks to Kiana's speed, she watched as five cannonballs headed in her direction. To the ordinary person, the black metallic spheres were probably nearly impossible to follow. To Kiana, it looked as though they were moving incredibly slow. She simply stepped aside from four of them, letting them explode into the nearby hillside. As the fifth one hurtled her way, she crouched slightly, raising her tetsubo like a baseball bat. She swung and smacked the cannonball, her tetsubo making a loud DING, and sent it flying right back where it had come from. The two bandits manning the cannon were obliterated along with the weapon itself, as well as a good chunk of the fort wall.
"She's some kind of demon!" one of the bandits cried. The man, really more of a boy, no older than Kiana, leapt down from the fort wall onto a carriage they had recently stolen from some traveling aristocrats. He then leapt onto the ground and sprinted out into the forest, stripping off the black cloak with the red eye in the center.
"DAMMIT!" the bandit leader cursed, pulling off his tricorn hat and dabbing his bald sweaty head with a handkerchief. While the remaining men were busy barring the windows or reloading and firing the cannons, he was gnashing his teeth. After a moment's hesitation, he pointed to a nearby subordinate. "You! Follow me. We'll unleash the troll on her."
The other bandit paled, audibly gulping. "Th-the troll? Are you sure th-that's wise?" Just as he finished asking that, another cannonball destroyed another cannon, making the entire structure shudder.
"We don't have any other options. Hopefully, after it kills her, it'll be injured enough for us to finish it off... or the other way around if she kills it." The other bandit grimaced at the options laid before them, but nodded solemnly. Outside, Kiana smacked another cannonball back at the cannon that fired it, being careful not to send it flying towards the base of the tower. According to one of the kidnapped merchants that had managed to escape and make it all the way to town, the cells where the bandits were holding their ransom victims were all on the ground floor. Kiana stopped when she heard a loud guttural roar, followed by a rapid series of loud BOOMs. Bandits ran by the windows and open holes of the fort, while the front gate slowly opened.
Out stumbled a massive creature. Its flesh was a dark brown, and had a texture not unlike tree bark. Its long arms and legs were thicker than the old oak trees in the forest near Starlight Rose. Its gnarled hands, with thick thorn-like protrusions sticking from the knuckles, balled into fists, fists that were as big as Kiana was tall. Its barrel-chest heaved, with white criss-crossing scars in its bark-flesh. It didn't have much in the way of a neck, and its head looked just like a tree stump, complete with root-like tendrils wriggling back and forth. It's mouth was partially concealed by the tendrils, until it reared back and opened its gaping maw, revealing rows of broken yellow teeth, to let out a bellow that shook the ground. From the top of its head grew two slightly spiraling branch-like horns.
"These idiots somehow managed to get a forest troll?" Kiana asked out loud, a smirk appearing on her face. "And this was only a gold-ranked quest? Something tells me I'm in for a sweet bonus."
The beast stopped as its knot-like eyes, of which there were at least seven, caught sight of the bunny girl. Up above from the second story windows and holes and from on the roof, the remaining bandits, many of them injured, looked down. Most were smirking, some of the more foolish ones shouted out taunts. The bandit leader stood there, looking grim-faced, but taking some satisfaction in knowing that despite their losses today, the annoying source of their problems was about to end, one way or another.
Kiana stuck the end of her tetsubo into the dirt, large and surprisingly quick thudding steps shaking the ground. The beast was lumbering towards Kiana, who didn't look the least bit afraid. While not intelligent enough to be truly sentient, the troll did have enough sense to know that its prey should be running. And the fact that it was just calmly standing there, staring at it, only angered it further. With a final roar, the forest troll charged forward. It balled up a massive fist, and swung straight for Kiana. Kiana swung her own fist, the two colliding.
There was a very loud, sickening crunch and pop. The bandits looked down in shock and horror as where the now screaming troll's fist and forearm had been, there was a bloody and jagged stump that ended just above the right elbow. The troll screeched and lunged at Kiana, hoping to impale her on its horns. But the bunny girl simply kicked, knocking the head clean off the rest of its body. The head bounced off a tree and rolled for a bit, settling in the dirt, a look of surprise on the stump-like face. The rest of the body tumbled over three times before coming to a rest near the make-shift stables, where the carriages and horses of the abducted nobles were kept. Kiana looked back up at the fort, making the majority of the bandits shrink back and shudder. A few of them began to wave white tablecloths hastily tied to sticks and tree branches.
A short time later the bandits, now in shackles, were being marched to the mechanical cart as the local sheriff and his deputies led them. Except for the severely injured ones, who were shackled to stretchers and loaded up into a seperate mechanical carriage. Kiana looked on as bodies were checked for possible survivors, there being very few to find, as the merchants and a few nobles were led by deputies out from the fort. Kiana smiled at them and nodded to their looks of awe, some of them having gotten a good look at the show of force the petite bunny girl had demonstrated. Ignoring the ones who shrank back away from her in fright, Kiana spotted the sheriff, a large older man in his mid-fifties with salt and pepper close-cropped hair and a matching mustache. He was wearing the classic green cloak, directing his deputies. He turned to face her as she approached.
"I think that's all cleared up," Kiana said, her voice chipper, belaying the fact she had a smattering of blood and gore staining her fur.
"I'd have to agree with you, young lady," Sheriff Tonsol said, his voice even. In truth, he had tried to avoid enlisting the aid of any adventurers until pressure from various merchants and nobility forced his hand. And even then he had expected it to involve a large party and, more than likely, some lives lost from the hostages. He was a little surprised when the girl reached into her satchel to produce a clipboard with a form on it, as well as an ink pen.
"In that case, would you mind signing this form indicating that I completed the job satisfactorily?" Tonsol looked at the form for a minute, and then his mouth curved upwards. He let out a chuckle and signed his name on the indicated line, writing in the date as well.
"Satisfactorily is putting it lightly, miss," he said, handing the clipboard and pen back to the bunny girl. "I had no idea that they had a forest troll in their possession. I went ahead and bumped up the reward."
"Oh wow, thank you, sir!" Kiana said, looking excited.
Tonsol smiled, something his deputies claimed to be a rare sight to behold. "Well, you earned it. I'm just glad you were able to get them to surrender without harming any hostages. Well, without them harming any more than the ones they did last time someone came out here to free them."
"I'm glad I could help!" Kiana said, bowing a little. "Now, I'm going to head back into town." She spread her arms wide and indicated to herself. "I'm really in need of a bath at this point."
"If you don't mind waiting a minute, you can ride back to town with us. It's faster than walking."
"Oh, thanks for the offer, but I'm good." Kiana waved, before jogging back to where she'd left her tetsubo and pack, Mirabelle coiled around it protectively. She grabbed the items up, quickly looking through the travel pack to make sure she still had everything, and nodded to herself, satisfied. She slipped the pack onto her back, then scooped her pet snake into her arms, and started to jog down the road in the direction of the town of Hengecliffe. Picking up speed, she rapidly became a blur, and in just a few seconds she was coming to a sliding stop in front of the town gates, startling a couple of bored-looking guards.
She greeted them and let Mirabelle down before they let her inside. They stared at the snake with the big pink ribbon around its neck slithering obediently behind the bunny girl. She stopped off at the local guild hall to drop off the signed paperwork and collect her now even heftier reward. She noticed a few stares in her general direction, and some unhappy grumbling from some fellow adventurers, but otherwise no one said anything.
Kiana then headed to the town inn where she still had a room for another night. Thankful again that this world had indoor plumbing, with hot water to boot, Kiana wasted no time in stripping off her gore-coated clothes, which she would wash in the laundry room down the hall, and enjoyed a nice steamy shower. She didn't have to worry about possible intruders, as Mirabelle sat coiled on the bed, ever vigilant.
"Today was a good day," Kiana said, stepping out of the shower and drying herself off, a feat that took several minutes with a towel. This left her gray and white fur all fluffed-out, which led to her brushing it out. Kiana had grown accustomed to the care and maintenance of her fur, taking pride in keeping it clean. She then donned her underwear and a cream-colored sundress from her pack, carefully putting her dirty clothes in the laundry sack in her pack. She smiled and stroked Mirabelle's head, the snake letting out a contented purr-like hiss.
"I'm going to go out and enjoy the rest of the afternoon in town. You stay here and guard the pack, okay?" she asked, slipping her mithril knuckles into her dress pockets, along with a small money pouch. Mirabelle hissed, thumping her tail on the bed in response, curling up tighter around Kiana's belongings.
"Good girl," she praised, before heading out, locking the door behind herself for good measure. Kiana smiled as she stepped out onto the paved sidewalk, carriages passing by on the street. Hengecliffe was much larger than Starlight Rose, with paved streets and even streetlights. Centrally located in a region of plains, it served as a trading hub. Kiana walked along, noticing a few men and women looking her over. Some seemed to do so with distaste, more than likely not enjoying the sight of a beasta. But most seemed to be pleasant people observing a new face.
"Well now, if my eyes are not deceiving me, it seems that an angel from the heavens has decided to grace us mere mortals with her presence." Kiana's ears twitched at the sound of the male voice. She paused and turned, looking down an alley, where a man leaning up against the side of a building stood, looking her over. He was wearing brown leather trousers, a white linen shirt, and a belt with a large buckle which, matching the large buckles on his boots, made him look a bit like a pirate. The goatee and the cutlass sheathed at his side were also not helping.
"Hello, beautiful," he said, giving Kiana a wink. Kiana rolled her eyes, and moved to keep walking, only to find a squat bald man standing in her way, grinning sinisterly. Kiana checked behind herself and saw another man, a larger one with a completely shaved head, arms crossed with a club under one arm. "Now, how about we all go somewhere more... private," the pirate-looking moron asked, giving Kiana a smug wink.
"Wow, you idiots have no idea just how badly you messed up," Kiana said, walking into the alley, the two guys following right behind her. The men chuckled. Passersby stopped when they heard three loud thuds coming from the alley, all of which made the nearby buildings shudder. They saw a bunny beasta girl walking out, brushing some dust off her sundress. She smiled and waved and continued on her way, leaving behind three broken figures. Two were lying in craters in the pavement of the alley, while the third, this one with a cutlass laying at his booted feet, was standing... his head laying all the way back in a hole in the brick wall right behind him.
Later that evening...
Kiana was sitting just outside the town walls on a hill, watching the stars come out. After sixteen years, it still mystified her to look up at the night sky, and not see any of the old constellations. She smiled as a shooting star streaked its way across the sky. Suddenly, Kiana felt a surge of energy just course through her. Her eyes faintly started to glow with the blue light, and she felt a strange pulsing in her chest. Looking around, she felt a strange magnetic pull coming from the south.
Starting as a jog, Kiana soon found herself sprinting outright across the countryside. She ran, as a blur, following the pull, her eyes gradually glowing brighter and brighter, shining with the crackling blue energy. Then, she came to a stop. She stood at the foot of a mountain, itself part of a larger range. Looking up at the mass of rock and ice, she could see broiling clouds up over it, flashes of lightning briefly illuminating the rocky and snowy peaks. With one such flash, Kiana saw something move. Something big. Kiana's glowing eyes went wide.
"Oh wooooooooow," she said, her jaw hanging open. There were rumbles as the giant coiled mass shifted. Several avalanches were caused by the serpentine body, buried under tons and tons of snow. At the very peak of the mountain, a gargantuan head rose.
"Is that a giant... cobra?" Kiana asked under her breath. Indeed, that was what the creature that seemed to dwarf the Spire appeared to be. In the light of the lightning, she saw that its scales were a deep blue, almost purple. There were stripes running down its back, but they were glowing a bright bioluminescent blue. That same glow radiated from the creature's reptilian eyes, and the inside of its hood. The same glowing blue as Kiana's eyes.
"What... are you?" Kiana asked, quietly.
I can ask the same of you, little one, a deep female voice hissed in Kiana's head. She winced and looked around. She then looked back up at the creature, her veins flooded with adrenaline. There was another flash of lightning, and in that very instant, the creature's head was bent down low, right in front of her. Kiana almost jumped back, but stopped herself. As the snake-entity looked her over with an eye that was twice as tall as she was, Kiana felt a sense of calm overtake her.
"Are you... a storm dragon? A real storm dragon?" Kiana asked, reaching out and touching the creature's cheek with her hand. It flicked out a blood red tongue, its mouth curling up a little at the corners.
That is something that little ones like to call my kind, she said. Kiana figured right then and there that this was a female.
"A monk said that... my spirit is like one of yours," Kiana said, breathlessly.
Your soulsong feels similar to one of our kind, little one, she said, turning her head and gently nuzzling the top of Kiana's head, making her ears lay flat. The storm dragon's head was almost as large as the entirety of her hometown.
"My... soulsong?" Kiana asked. The monk she had met hadn't said anything about them.
The song of your innermost being. It stands out from the loud and noisy cacophony that happens when most little ones gather together in large groups. Yours is beautiful, and a little... fluttery. The dragon gave her a wink. She reared up and opened her mouth. Electricity danced between the dragon's fangs, before she shot out a sonic boom. The raging storm above abated, the clouds dispersing, leaving only a crystal clear night sky for miles and miles around. She then turned and looked down at Kiana. The bunny girl felt the storm dragon's gaze. She felt a radiating warmth coming from her. It reminded Kiana of her mother.
It was so nice to meet you, little one. It was quite the pleasant surprise to awaken to. She let out a proud roar, and her body began to undulate. Sections of the mountain range began to crumble as large sections of mountain were crushed and smashed by the body slamming into them. The body of the dragon rose into the air, beginning to gracefully slither about. Levitating there, partially coiled, the sheer size of the storm dragon just boggled the bunny girl's mind.
"Will I see you again?" Kiana asked, feeling a little sad. She had just met this beautiful and amazing being, and already they were leaving.
Of course, little one, the mental voice in her mind chuckled warmly.
I have listened to your beautiful soulsong, and I have shared my soulsong with you.
"I... I don't understand what that means," Kiana said, confused.
You will, little one, she said,
you are still young, but my soulsong has resonated within you. When you stop and listen, it will become easier and easier to hear it. And thus, the bond has begun to form. In time, you shall understand. With a flick of the creature's tail, there was a flash of lightning that radiated from within the hood, and she was gone. Kiana stood there, her eyes readjusting to the dark.
"This world is so awesome," she said, a smile on her face, as she began to job back towards town. She figured that if the town gates were closed and locked, she could just jump over the wall.
Meanwhile...
The lone figure stood in the dark, staring at where the great serpent had been levitating. They were sitting on a log in a small clearing, where they had set up camp. The individual in question was polishing their armor when a gray blur had shot right past them. And then, where it had been heading, the giant serpent, an actual storm dragon, arose. They sat there in stunned silence. They knew right then and there, that it had been a sign from the gods. As they unsheathed their katana, it began to thrum with magical energy, the blade becoming engulfed in bright purple flames.
The light of the purple flames illuminated his green face, glinting off his polished tusks. "Soon, the war shall begin," said the orc, sheathing the blade and cutting off its purple light. The same purple light shone from his eyes.

How do you call this?
When I was 13 years old, my two Nbrothers humiliated me in a confusing way. I vaguely remember doing something that upset them and then one held my arms while the other pulled down my shorts and underwear. The second one went to get ice cream and started rubbing it on my penis, testicles and butt while they both laughed and humiliated me and I screamed and tried to get out of this. Even at that time I did not know sexuality, not even masturbation. When I finally got them to let me go, I ran out the front door and sat for about an hour in the corner of my house. It was not cold. But I was alone. When I returned home my Nmom blamed me for everything that happened and sent me to sleep.
What lasted that moment I felt that I lost all control over myself and that they could do whatever they wanted with me.
I feel like all my memories are bad and I have trouble remembering. It is clear that they took it as a joke, "retaliation" for misbehaving. I don't think they received sexual gratification for this. At no time was any object introduced in me nor was I masturbated. But I fail to understand the nature of the fact itself. Clearly they were guided by their sadism... by the exhilaration they derive from the control and humiliation of others.
I also wonder: If instead of being a boy I had been a girl, would it have been the same? Would there have been any consequences?
It seems that having been between older brothers and a minor, all this was a simple joke... It is linked to a whole subsequent history of harassment and verbal aggression, control, etc... so it was not an isolated act .
But I would like to know what others think... I can't understand what happened.
Thanks for listening. Greetings from Argentina.

2023.06.06 03:34 Background-Basil6912 What’s the most abhorrent thing someone from Dunder Mifflin did?
For me, Kevin popping his sweaty tissue box feet right into the ice machine at the hotel in Niagara is the cream of the crop. 🤮

2023.06.06 03:29 Leadpipe So who's got that good good ice cream this year?
Every summer, somewhere in the comments of some post or other, I find out about another ice cream place somewhere in the cities that's doing great things, so I thought I'd get a jump on it this year.
Who is out there making great ice cream? Where are your favorite spots this summer?

2023.06.06 03:28 bekabekaben A Little Guide to Coffee
Okay first of all this is long but worth the read.
I LOVE coffee. But when I first went into a coffee shop, I was so confused. Like what the hell is a macchiato and how is that different from a cappuccino? And an americano? What is robusta? What’s the difference between iced and cold brew? What does the coffee roasting do to the bean and why are there different types? Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee? Well, stress no more because here is a beginner’s guide to coffee, for the exmormon 😏
BEANS
First, every good cup of Joe starts with beans. There are two main types of coffee beans: arabica and robusta. The vast majority of coffee shops and beans you will find in the store are arabica. Sometimes you can find robusta in coffee blends. Arabica taste better; robusta has more caffeine.
Okay well what is the difference between single origin vs a blend? Coffee sourced from one single origin generally is more expensive than a blend. There are a few regions around the world that are known for their really really good coffee. 100% single origin coffees from these regions are going to be pricey. Don’t be fooled though: if you’re spending money on coffee advertised from one of these regions, you should make sure it’s 100% and not just a blend. If it’s a blend, they’re probably only putting a tiny % of the good stuff in and then mixing in with a cheaper bean. Also, with single origin beans, you tend to have a more uniform taste profile, something the casual drinker might not notice but the enthusiast will definitely care about.
ROASTS
There are 4 main roasts that you’ll find on the shelves and in coffee shops: light, medium, dark, and espresso. Light generally has a more acidic flavor, is lighter bodied, and has more caffeine. If you’re going to compare the taste profiles of different regions, they generally like doing it with lighter roasts since more of the nuances are present. Dark roasts, on the other hand, tend to have a stronger, more bold taste but, ironically, have less caffeine. Medium is somewhere in the middle (most grocery store coffee is medium roast). Espresso roast is a dark roast that works especially well for espresso based drinks (more on that below). One isn’t better than the other; it just depends on what you like and what fits in your budget.
GROUND vs WHOLE
Wherever possible, if you’re making coffee at home, you should buy your own grinder and buy your beans whole and grind them immediately before brewing. Your coffee will taste better. Coffee does go bad and as soon as you grind it, it starts going bad fast. This is actually the No. 1 complaint against Keurig coffee (more on that below). If you don’t want to buy a grinder (or you can’t), a lot of grocery stores and coffee shops will grind the beans for you when you purchase them. For added bonus, you can store your whole beans in an airscape container (it’s a special container that preserves the coffee beans for longer than if you just left them in the opened bag).
Before you buy your coffee, give it a good sniff. It shouldn’t smell rancid or acidic at all. It should smell like a coffee shop. And also, pay attention to the roasting and packaging dates. You want both of them to be as close to today as possible. It’ll make for a better tasting cup o’ Joe.
BREWING
There’s a lot of different ways to make coffee but I’ll just briefly talk about the most common types:
French Press
This is a very minimal coffee setup. All you need is hot water and the French press carafe. It has a metal plunger attached to the lid and you can filter out the beans right before you pour. When done well, French press can make a very delicious cup.
Espresso
(pronounced ES-presso not EX-presso) This is the type of coffee that you’ll usually see at coffee shops. Lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, cortados, etc. Those are all espresso based drinks. The only difference between all these different types of drinks is the ratio of espresso to milk/milk foam/water. The more milk, the sweeter the drink tends to be. The more concentrated the espresso flavor, the stronger the drink is gonna be. For example a latte and americano are both espresso based drinks. A latte is espresso + milk whereas an americano is espresso + water. Which one is gonna have the stronger coffee taste? You guessed it, the americano. (ALSO, you can pretty much add ANYTHING you want to any espresso based drink at coffee shops. All you have to do is ask. My go-to is an americano with a splash of half and half). Espresso based drinks are used with an espresso machine: hot water is pushed through finely ground beans that have been compacted together at high pressure. Espresso machines can be very expensive.
Drip
This is your traditional hotel/gas station/office coffee. Drip coffee makers usually require a coffee maker (though they’re really affordable). You’ll need a coffee filter with these. All you do is grind up your beans, put them in the filter, put the filter in the filter container, fill up the basin with water and voila, coffee ready in a few minutes. Fancier drip makers can be preprogramed to have your coffee ready at a certain time. Most have hot plates to keep the carafe hot (lukewarm coffee is gross).
Iced
Any hot brewed coffee that is then placed in ice
Cold brewed
The grounds are brewed in cold water over a long period of time (minimum 12 hours usually). If you prefer the taste of cold drinks as opposed to hot drinks, give cold brew a try; it’s less bitter than iced coffee
Keurig
Is essentially drip coffee. Very convenient. Very useful for those who don’t want to have a lot of different coffee accessories. Can get pricy if you drink a lot of coffee and go through pods quickly.
There’s obviously a lot of different types of brewing methods besides what I mentioned here, but these are some of the most common/popular
ESPRESSO DRINKS
LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE
Espresso: espresso
Ristretto: more concentrated espresso
Lungo: less concentrated espresso
Cortado: espresso + milk foam
Latte: espresso + lots of milk + tiny bit of milk foam
Cappuccino: espresso + tiny bit of milk + lots of milk foam
Macchiato: espresso + milk
Flat white: espresso + lots of milk
Mocha: espresso + chocolate syrup + milk foam
Americano: espresso + water
Espresso con panna: espresso + whipped cream
Espresso martini: espresso + vodka + coffee liqueur + simple syrup
I think that’s basically it. There's obviously more to the world of coffee but this is a good start. Also, IT IS OKAY TO PUT THINGS IN YOUR COFFEE IF YOU WANT TO. You do not have to drink it “black” (pure coffee with no additives) in order to like coffee. That’s the equivalent of saying you can only like chocolate if you like raw cocoa powder. It’s a ludicrous idea. Coffee creamer is a thing for a reason 😝
Anyway, stay caffeinated out there heathens

2023.06.06 03:22 passports_parakeets From Lazy to AZ - The Dirtles Week in Review
Monday Mexican shredded cheese-topped blueberries. It’s what’s for breakfast when Minnie is on breakfast duty, in charge of monitoring your glucose, and you’re two years old.
Waterskiing for soggy sandwiches is the new skiing for donuts. Ski-vie Kate wanted to go first but had to wait for the larger of her two handlers to demonstrate how to use the ski trainer while her other handler ruptured her eardrums. After she waterskied to her parents’ satisfaction, it was time for a nap in her swimsuit, but the Contentot broke free from the blackout tent looking for juice and pajamas. Back out on the water again, Sea-Doo Kate was fed more sandwiches to perform for Instagram. During her break from filming, Stevie Chalk colored Belle’s fur pink and declared her love for the number one guy in the group, Tanner, with sidewalk art.
Tuesday The Tuesday after Memorial Day means it’s back to work for the Turtles… just kidding! When you’re a Houghton, every day is a vacation day and they’re all still at the lake.
Feral Kate woke up with hair bigger than Sam’s but at least she didn’t have to spend the whole night sleeping in a dirty swimsuit. As the hardest working Houghton, she was immediately tasked with executing today’s content plan: Stand Up Waterskiing for a Two Year Old. Failure was not an option. Her wages? Unlimited sandwiches on the boat 🥪 and Rice Krispies doled out to her like cat treats off the side of the ski trainer.
In fact
Stevie Sandwich consumed more sandwiches over Memorial Day weekend than Jen has eaten in her entire life - regular bread, Sola bread, or otherwise. Who can blame the little bread lover though. She was just trying to eat enough so that the giant life jacket they gave her would actually fit.
Snap Crackle Kate exceeded everyone’s expectations for waterskiing content and was rewarded with ice cream by coach Uncle Tanner. She seemed to love her moment in the spotlight on the water, smiling, hamming it up for the camera and singing along to her favorite Frozen songs.
Howler Monkey: Steven makes
THE BEST peach cobbler in the world better cobbler than Tiffany. All you do is put peaches in the bottom of a baking dish, sprinkle cake mix on them, and slice up a stick of butter and put it on top of that. Because I never eat food or cook, I think it’s absolutely BRILLIANT. Wowowowow.
Wednesday Dimwit took the day off IG but Jen storied what the Junior Turtles were up to today. Jen awoke to find Sleepy Kate blacked out in the kitchen and Dim and Dum asleep on the new sofa surrounded by a sea of plastic water bottles and cereal bowls. Apparently the A/C had gone out in their bedroom. Dimmy reported for Shilly babysitting duty while Tiffany and Adam went jet skiing. Tiffany had a case of mom brain which apparently made her forget riding a jet ski three weeks postpartum would be a bad idea. But somehow she bopped right through and Adam was the one left doubled over in pain. It was right back to work for Snap Crackle Kate as she waterskied again for Rice Krispies doled out by Tanner. Training Stevie Canine was such a success that Dummy didn’t even have to pull out his iPhone notes to reference his Fix Whining Plan.
Turtle time check. Jen shared stories from Saturday and tried to pass them off as today’s, of the Dirtles touring the new $5 million lake house she and Sr bought. In today’s depiction of Saturdays tour, SK seemed more impressed by the Castle o’ Timber, while Dimmy was ready for Jen to give it a Sarah Knuth-inspired makeover.
Back in real time, Jen shared her favorite family moments from the week at the lake house, and poor Dummy wasn’t featured in a single photo, while Dimmy was in one photo and Stevie Kate featured in five photos.
Thursday Stevie Kontent’s wake up call: bright lights, big shrieks, and a phone shoved in her face. You can only hide under a blanket for so long before your handlers make you greet the internet with your good morning script and declare your love for all the fat poors who fund your travel. Next up it was time to force Shein Kate into some commissionable, linkable fast fashion while pretending the Contentot put together the cheap look all on her own.
Dummy updated us she got her period and is not pregnant with SK 2.0 (whew we’re all relieved to have a brief reprieve from turtle pregnancies).
String Cheese Kate had blueberries, a bracelet, a piece of cheese and avocado toast for lunch while Kimmy had a Go Hydrate drink containing 5 calories for lunch. So 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 yummy and it totally fills her up. After less than just one day back at home, Kimmy announced it’s time to travel again - to Arizona to see friends Brooke & Justin and then to a friend’s wedding in Utah - so she’s packing all her powders and supplements and shit to shill for the next several days.
Stevie Shaving Cream played with the neighbor boy in the tub with shaving cream but they didn’t like it, probably because their stupid moms couldn’t figure out that the tub is also a great place to rinse off the mess when they’re done. So the dim moms dragged the dirty tots through the house and plopped them outside at the water table to hose them off.
Dimmy was excited when a giant box was delivered - more shit to shill! - only to realize the package contained dozens of rolls of toilet paper addressed to Stevie Charmin. Was the tot’s BFF Sam behind this? Maybe he sent the package to SK to encourage her to TP Turtle Creek Lane as his punishment to the Senior Turtles for the Mormon bucket trek! Unbothered that strangers could be sending her weird stuff through the mail, Return to Sender Kate unboxed the rest of the day’s packages while reciting The Gruffalo and dumping a plate of her food on the floor.

2023.06.06 03:22 Reditchuwork How do you call this? Need help!
How do you call this?
When I was 13 years old, my two Nbrothers humiliated me in a confusing way. I vaguely remember doing something that upset them and then one held my arms while the other pulled down my shorts and underwear. The second one went to get ice cream and started rubbing it on my penis, testicles and butt while they both laughed and humiliated me and I screamed and tried to get out of this. Even at that time I did not know sexuality, not even masturbation. When I finally got them to let me go, I ran out the front door and sat for about an hour in the corner of my house. It was not cold. But I was alone. When I returned home my Nmom blamed me for everything that happened and sent me to sleep.
What lasted that moment I felt that I lost all control over myself and that they could do whatever they wanted with me.
I feel like all my memories are bad and I have trouble remembering. It is clear that they took it as a joke, "retaliation" for misbehaving. I don't think they received sexual gratification for this. At no time was any object introduced in me nor was I masturbated. But I fail to understand the nature of the fact itself. Clearly they were guided by their sadism... by the exhilaration they derive from the control and humiliation of others.
I also wonder: If instead of being a boy I had been a girl, would it have been the same? Would there have been any consequences?
It seems that having been between older brothers and a minor, all this was a simple joke... It is linked to a whole subsequent history of harassment and verbal aggression, control, etc... so it was not an isolated act .
But I would like to know what others think... I can't understand what happened.
Thanks for listening. Greetings from Argentina.

2023.06.06 03:15 freshstart12346 30 [M4F] New England/USA - let’s celebrate a Monday in the books!
Turns out I didn’t have much to be scared about on a Sunday as today was a light day at work. Those are the best really. Now I’m just settling down on the couch looking to find something, anything to watch. Maybe you’ll keep my attention instead?
I’m hoping to find a fun connection and see what goes from there. I’m pretty active and enjoy most sports. I wouldn’t say I’m a health but but I prefer cooking my own meals over eating out. Ice cream is my guilty pleasure. Can always go for some ice cream. What about you? What’s your dessert weakness?

2023.06.06 03:12 _asdfjk Is it rude that for first dates I determine the location regardless of how far away it is for the other person? Or is this normal for women?
I (28f) generally don't message much on the app before meeting up because I'd rather just see how the chemistry in-person goes.
When men ask me out for the first date, I do two things:
a) I propose something more minimal / cheaper instead. I feel very conscious / awkward about them paying for things if I'm not interested in seeing them again, I just feel bad. So if they propose dinner, I propose going for a walk in the park or going for ice cream.
b) I propose meeting at a place in my neighborhood of the city so i don't have to travel as far. To be honest, I do think this is kind of rude because the other person has to do the traveling instead, but I also feel like since I don't know if we'd hit it off or not, I'd rather not go on the date than have to travel extra for it.
If the first date goes well, then I'm definitely happy to travel to their neighborhood or do dinner or something more extensive.
What I'm looking for on these apps is a serious relationship. I don't know if doing these two things gives off the wrong vibe though and is selfish of me to do. My friends say I should let the guy lead and go along with whatever he proposes for the first date. Other friends say it's normal that the woman should get to choose where/what they want to go/do for the first date because they have more matches on dating apps.
What are your thoughts?

2023.06.06 03:09 tripy_oatmeal Is there any benefit to eating “clean” food
I was looking into mike mentzer’s diet and he mentioned eating ice cream 4 days a week during his bodybuilding prep as well as have cookies and carrots cake for breakfast which shocked me. I’ve always understood that calories in calories out was most important for muscle growth but I was under the impression that sugary foods were inherently unhealthy. I would often force myself to eat “healthy” foods aka unprocessed,whole grains, fruits, vegetables to the point where I would throw up at some points trying to hit my high calorie needs. But now I have found some conflicting information about my previous beliefs on renaissance periodization on YouTube about sugar. My question is if I were to put everything I eat into chronometer And hit the same macros and calories as before and add to my supplement stack fiber and whatever nutrients I shorted out with the empty calories how would this impact my health and gains?

2023.06.06 03:09 GetInLoser_Lets_RATM Frigidaire freezer not cold enough
So I’ve read a few similar posts and have an idea of what to try next but would appreciate 2nd opinion.
my ice cream has gotten softer and softer over last few months. There is zero ice build up anywhere, inside back freezer or in backbeat compressor. Compressor guns like normal: one warm tube 116°, one slightly cool tube 83°. Everything is clean and clear in back. Both Fans run. Just not getting below ~23°F.
I tested the thermostat with multimeter and ice water and the ohms are moving when I turn the knob.
I ohm tested the relays bottom two holes and got a beep.
I’m hoping I can get a bullet valve and top off Freon. Maybe get it UV light and find any leaks. Idk what else to do. Any opinion?

2023.06.06 03:03 Standard-Cow-8788 Baking with No Butter
I'm preparing for a party and I wanted to make some sort of icing for cakes and cupcakes that will actually taste and look great. When I'm making things for myself at home, I just whip up some plain Daiya cream cheese and sugar and use that, it does the trick. But this time I'm going for appearance and every recipe is calling for vegan buttebutter.
My husband is celiac and lactose intolerant and we are very strict about having certified gluten free everything. Has anyone in southern Ontario found any CERTIFIED gluten free vegan butter blocks?
Note: Every time I ask anything like this, I get responses saying that other people are celiac and don't need certified gluten free everything but my husband likes it that way and I'm not going to be the one make him feel crazy for being extra careful when everyone else does. So any proper suggestions are welcome. Even any recipes I can make without needing butter at home would be great. Thanks!

General questions: -3 week JR pass is definitely worth it for my trip? -What data options for phone is suitable for a 3 week stay? -If stayed in any of the cities mentioned above, how much time did you need in each city? How much did you budget for? -If you've been to Shikoku Island, should we skip Kochi and go straight to Matsuyama from Iya Valley (and have an extra night in Iya Valley or Matsuyama)?
I sincerely thank you in advance and look forward to updating a trip report to return the favor of this subreddit!

2023.06.06 02:58 TheWalkingDead91 Is this mold or cornstarch?
| Bought 6 blocks of this cheese on a Publix deal that made them practically free. Threw them in the freezer same day I bought them, since I know hard cheeses freeze well. Put one in the fridge the other day to use this morning, and this is on it. Is it mold or some kind of starch? Not familiar with this brand so unsure. Smells fine. submitted by TheWalkingDead91 to foodsafety [link] [comments] |
2023.06.06 02:57 dboardboy An approach to treatment with Panicura
I (41M) started suffering from a hemorrhoids and fissures this year. Had a tag and occasional flare ups in the past but this year things broke down. About a month bout of daily pain has me scrambling to resolve the condition. I started the usual routine then Prep H w/ Lodocaine, hydrocortisone, pads, sitz, water, softener and fiber diet. I realized something was torn after a couple applications of the Prep H w/ Lidocaine cream caused a stronger stinging pain and that I must have a bad cut in addition to the hemi. Ive not gotten a system down on a consistent diet just yet but Im working daily intakes of oatmeal, beans, prunes, and cutting out dairy starting tomorrow. After a bad bm today that lead me to almost 1000mg of Advil- I see that all cards need to played on the road to recovery. Two questions- will extended use of Colace cause side affects like constipation or laxative dependency? Is there a home remedy that promotes healing of a fissure? I read reviews about the special cream Panicura works well to manage the pain and possibly heal any small tissue tears.

2023.06.06 02:55 Formal_Pea9167 I Belatedly Watch Paige's Paris Vlog For You
Let's jet set off to Paris, mes petits choux! Fortunately for Paige but unfortunately for all of you, my healthcare coverage is really doing the most, by which I mean doing the least, and a lot of my snarky energy after work had to go into fighting with them to cover the same prescriptions they've been covering for the past over a decade, hooray for America. And then Paige topped this off by really putting out a half-assed turd sandwich of a vlog where 80% of it is her laying foundation on top of bronzer on top of foundation on top of bronzer. But for you, my little cabbages, I will do my best to recap any relevant points.
As always, here's the
vlog Bingo card for playing along at home. I add stuff to it every week as new trends emerge, your prize for winning is... something I haven't figured out yet. By doing everyone's birth charts I learned there's a ton of Virgo energy in this subreddit, though, so astrologically speaking you should all be satisfied with a virtual shoulder pat and being told you did a good job and you're the smartest person I've ever met.
- We open on Paige "typewriting" on screen that she went to Paris for 48 hours to see her boyfriend play tennis and here's how it went, which I don't think she intended to but inadvertently gives off the sense that we're about to enter into footage of a hostage negotiation? It's almost like if you don't consume art and instead magpie various aesthetic details and cobble them together, you ignorantly imply a lot of things you don't mean to imply, but what do I know!
- The first four minutes of this vlog are unspeakably boring. I can try to make them interesting for you, but what's the point? Paige opens up a brand new notebook and writes PARIS in it with a Sharpie. It's intially unclear why she does this, but then it becomes abundantly clear as this goes on that it's because Paige thought she'd be there way longer and didn't bother getting much or really any footage of anything, and now is desperately trying to pad this sucker out so she can get a midroll ad. It's a bunch of out of focus nonsense. Here's the only things that happen that are of any note:
- One of her giant checked suitcases when she packs is just labelled "work". I'm now entertaining wild speculations about what could take up an entire checked bag that she just had to bring to Paris under the assumption that she'd be there longer than 48 hours. My personal bet is that it's half denim samples, half reams of paper that she had Amanda print out with random graphs or pictures of generic clothing pieces and the text under it just reads "BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS"
- When she gets to Paris Tommy comes downstairs wearing a green t-shirt. Later we see Paige wearing the same shirt but she dresses it up with a black bow in her hair. It looks dumb.
- Paige says hi to us from the bathroom mirror wearing a face mask after moisturizing her whole body because the airplane left her soooo dry. This is only notable because she claims she's going to rest for a bit by "reading some of her book" (we get it, Paige, you read my recaps, but I still don't believe you read anything besides that) before she unpacks, and also because she can't actually get the sentence out so it cuts every two words, and because it's handheld footage it's not steady, which means you kind of get this weird, jostly experience watching her try to form a sentence.
- Paige and Tommy go to the great shopping mecca that is Paris and appear to go to Kith and Sephora
- The food they eat does actually look pretty good
- The time breakdown of this is two minutes on the plane, two minutes in Paris, and then we get into the bulk of the video
- Getting ready time! Okay here's where it gets mildly more interesting, and by interesting I mean there's more to discuss besides half-assed B-roll. Before we start I should make clear, we're about to embark on a getting ready that is 15 minutes of a 20 minute video, and in this time the end result will be Paige looking almost identical to how she looks at the start of it. This detail stuck in my brain because I put this on for a first watch-through this morning while I was getting ready for work and putting on my own makeup. At first I was convinced she had done her makeup beforehand and was just mimicking putting it on because she was too vain to be seen without makeup, but re-watching it now that I'm home I don't think that's the case. I think she's had a lot of work done to make it look like she's always wearing makeup (semi-permanent makeup procedures, eyelash extensions, etc) and then genuinely spends a long time caking layers upon layers upon layers to look exactly the same. Which honestly makes me kind of sad. But I suppose Paige is contractually obliged to have at least one unwitting self-own she stumbles into every vlog where the curtain is pulled back and we gaze upon the vast chasm of insecurity inside her that comes from her being just aware enough to know that she knows nothing about what she's talking about at any given time and if she stopped being pretty to look at more people might point that out.
- Paige is really tan, you guys, and she feels like makeup doesn't work as well on her skin when she is. This is probably because not once in this entire routine does she PUT ON SUNSCREEN (even though she says prepping your skin before sitting in the sun all day is super important), like not even a BB cream with sunscreen in it. I have no hope of reaching Paige but girlypops! Wear! Your! Sunscreen! Get a spray tan if you want later, but skin cancer is real and not fun and even if you avoid skin cancer, being out in the sun like that makes you look like a leather raisin by middle age. Like she's sitting on a clay court? What are we doing here.
- If you were wondering if this is in fact a very long undisclosed ad roll, sure is
- Ah, one of the serums is so good, she actually got it while on a skiing trip. you know, because she's a skier.
- The reason Paige didn't come to Tommy's first match is because she had "a lot going on at home". Really essential stuff like paying other people to install a pre-built shed for her, buying a second horse, eating unwashed vegetables - important stuff.
- Oh my apologies she had a denim sample to approve. Not just any denim sample, a WHOLE denim sample, and that is what was in her "work" suitcase. Because idk international mail doesn't work? I mean I sound like I'm advocating she follow Tommy around and I actually think it's better that she doesn't, but also I'd rather she said "I missed Tommy's first match because it was really important to me to spend time seeing friends and family and recharging and resting" instead of pretending she was soooo busy being a Serious Business Girl. Like just be honest that following a man around isn't exhausting and boring and I wouldn't care.
- I will give it to Paige, she does admit her contour routine with like a dozen products is over the top, and if she left it at that it'd just be that she enjoys the ritual of that and it's fine, but she's like "I swear guys it's so good it makes such a difference" and that is where I draw the line. Contouring is the greatest scam the Kardashians have ever pulled and I do not trust anyone who says otherwise. Like we all did that exercise in middle school art class where we had to shade in shapes different ways, and it didn't ever change the shape, it just made it look like the light was coming from different directions. Paige says this is because contour "adds light and dimension and makes your skin look more healthy" but you know what else does that? Hydrating, wearing sunscreen, and NOT PUTTING ON FIFTEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOUNDATION AND BRONZER. The same concept of "you can change where the light hits but not how the shape looks" that applies to drawing an egg applies to makeup - contouring does absolutely nothing unless you're a drag queen and also you're Trixie Mattel (hallowed be her name AND her commitment to producing really quality orange blushes. If you have warm-toned skin at all, use bronze, peach, and orange blushes this summer and thank me later).
- Also Paige clearly has not been paying attention because contouring looks and this cakey, Meredith Duxbury, early aughts Beauty YouTuber look is very much not the vibe? The hot thing right now is really natural, light, dewy stuff a la Rare Beauty or Glossier, and it's heavily inspired by K-Beauty and C-Beauty looks. Even I know this and my makeup looks better on me than Paige's does and it's not even my job to wear makeup or know about this stuff! No one's paying me to do this! Maybe they should be, I guess! (It shouldn't be, I'm very good at doing my face and my face only.)
- Honestly it looks a lot of the time here like Paige is putting mud on her face, and everything she shows and applies to her face is mud-colored, and it's just dingier and dingier and she would look so much better if instead of all of this she just did a nice warm terra cotta sort of blush and some highlighter. My kingdom for something to bring actual warmth or color to her face and not just look like she's smearing sparkly dishwater on herself.
- Paige blathers more about travelling and authenticity and how she travels a lot but also doesn't travel that much? I don't know it's all so meandering and nonsensical and I give up. The tl;dr is what I said before: she's a homebody who hates travel but knows if she just did the things that made her happy and let herself be boring, people would stop watching her, so she's trying to straddle an impossible line and since she can't admit that's what's happening, her explanations get increasingly convoluted and her definition of "authenticity" or us "getting it" comes to mean "whatever I like at the time is authentic and if it doesn't work out or backfires on me it's because I was feeling forced to be inauthentic, because I am authentically perfect and always right".
- See it's because she's NOT A CITY GIRL, it's not that she doesn't like TRAVEL, it's that she doesn't like travelling to CITIES because she's such a COUNTRY GIRL AT HEART, that's why she lives in a FARMHOUSE in CONNECTICUT, which is practically the sticks.
- "I got some really funny comments about this from you guys, I was actually cracking up" Paige says and then shows us comments of people kissing her ass for no reason, which she probably directly or indirectly paid for telling her how much better her home vlogs are.
- Paige puts on some MAC setting spray and this is where we get into Peak Paige, she tells us this story about how when she lived in NYC she made friends with a girl who worked at MAC and at first Paige didn't believe that the setting spray did anything but then her friend told her that unlike other setting sprays, the MAC stuff "leaves a layer over your skin that like... helps your makeup combine smoothly, so that's why if you love the MAC Fix Plus more than other setting sprays, it's because it actually has science behind it"
- I call this Peak Paige because it's something that's so obviously rich with lies while simultaneously very likely being an undisclosed advertisement that you could spend hours unpacking this. Like which part is the lie, that Paige made a friend? Was this "friend" someone she talked to more than once at the MAC store? Why did Paige say "combine" like it had a d in it? What does she mean by "it has science behind it", like, how does Paige think other setting sprays, or for that matter other makeup works? Does Paige think about any of this at all? Does this not make sense because it came as part of an ad read Paige got in her many, many PR packages we've seen her get from MAC? We may never know! It's a mystery lost to the sands of time!
- There are chunks of glass in Paige's palette because it broke but they're just going to have to ~make it work~ because she's so tough and roll with the punches and quirky like that! I mean she literally made Tommy take her to Sephora in the vlog the day before and it's a totally brown palette which there's no way she couldn't find another of at a Sephora in Paris, but sure Paige.
- Paige while using the Benefit brow stuff: "I strayed away from this stuff for a second, don't know why, think it's because I get sent so many products" really had to add that in there.
- Oh thank god she finally added blush and it makes her look a million, trillion times better
- "Don't worry" says Paige as she applies stuff, "I'm going to leave links to everything I use for you guys". Oh you're going to try to make money off this by using undisclosed affiliate links? You don't say! It was super subtle, the clearly narrated ad copy and pop-ups every time you used a new product didn't give you away at all.
- I will say this for Paige, the girl does do a good cat eye.
- Okay this is insane, Paige uses a powder to cover up her roots? What is this, 1776 the musical? ROOT COVER UP POWDER???? I don't color my hair, is this a normal product???? I still say it's giving Founding Father. Powdering roots. Unbelievable. I hate everything about it.
- Paige shows us two dress options, the set she wore and a much more modest, much cuter dress that's essentially an a-line pink polo shirt. I really, really liked the first one on her, but she vetoes it for being too "casual". The second one that's a set, on the other hand, doesn't ook as coherent because it's a three piece and requires a cami underneath the jacket, it looks hot and itchy, and the shorts in that heavy material look ridiculous and don't fit her body well so it's giving diaper. She of course went with the second one.
- She's wearing it with her new Chanel loafers. They were a gift (she doesn't say from who) and she's obsessed with them, hashtag not a designer girl.
- Anyway Tommy loses and they go out to dinner, the end. On a 1-10 scale with ten being the most, I give it a 2 for actually being a well put together vlog, a 3 in terms of Paige being a privileged unhinged weirdo. She can do better on all fronts.

2023.06.06 02:45 Charming_Drive7189 Living with parents advice
I'm 22F living with bio dad and stepmother as well as 4 of her kids and my own kid. I moved in in October 2022 due to a separation of me a husband every since I've moved is it seems like I am not wanted here. Turns out my dad never cleared the decision with stepmom and just told me to move in which i did not know. I was a bad parent but have gotten way better and so things we better with parents overall but they never give me the benefit of the doubt in the sense of, if i am not perfect 24/7 they get upset with me. Stepmom watches my kid at work and im super greatful but there definitely have been a few hicks in the road. For example one time my daughters hair was cut while I was at work with no permission. My stuff is constantly rearranged and touched even though I keep my stuff extremely tidy. Her toys have been thrown away, I've been having to buy my own food and stuff as well as stuff for them which is fine its my way of saying thank you but her kids who have a job will eat all the stuff I bought my daughter the day after I went to the store till the point that's it gone. I spent 600$ in food one month on top of my parents buying food and it was gone in a week. My appearance has been a problem as well they don't think I will ever look good unless I am skinny yet stepmom doesn't allow me to go to gym and I don't feel comfortable working out in front of my family since those comments have made. Ive taken out all of my piercings for them even though they were the only things that gave me confidence. They constantly tell me other people opions dont matter so when i show them clothes that make me happy and aren't revealing they hate it and think i should dress a different way until i get skinny so it attracts better people even though thats not what makes me happy and i thought like i was told other people dont matter just me and my daughter. I can't buy anything for myself here even it's just to take care of myself as they want me to move out which I understand but sometimes a gal needs lotion. I'm not allowed to get any breaks from my kiddo which is fine but I'm expected to miss work just so they can have some, because stepmom does a lot apparently even though she sits outside all day and rushes inside to do a lil something to give off the illusion to my dad shes done something. So i have been having to do most of the chores and but the household items we need. I don't have many clothes so when I did by some I was pissed when they went missing because her kids don't care about me or my stuff so if it's in their room they won't bring it to me but I'm not allowed to look for it either it's not just my clothes that have gone missing but my daughters too. They constantly tell me I eat to much even though I'm down to 1-2 meals a day and their 8 year old daughter ate 2 whole boxes of Popsicles and ice cream fudge bars for breakfast lunch and dinner and they give no fucks but I let my daughter and me have some chocolate we're getting yelled at. I got yelled at one day for going to where my clothes are to get pj's after work for waking them up even though I was super quite so I now sleep in work clothes until the next day. I dont take showers as often as i should because if i am in there for more than 30 min i get yelled at or if i leave my child in plan pen or take one while shes alseep i will get yelled at. I was trying to potty train my daughter one day because my dad kept encouragingit and as always as soon as my dad left i got yelled st by stepmom saying my daughter will not under any circumstance be potty trained here as shes scared im gonna accuses people in the house of touching my daughter innopriately just because she throws a fit about getting her diaper changed and ive never met a kid who doesnt do that. I call my bio mom to vent because I don't have anyone to talk to here they've made that clear but she always takes it to 0-100 and makes it worse for me here. I'm at a lost on what to do tbh. Ik I need to move but I have to save up enough money first and even if I do I'm currently not making enough money for daycare and am scared about what could happen if I put her in there. My bio mom wants me to move to Florida but I'm scared it's not gonna be good there and I'm horrified about moving away anywhere else no around family. But idk what to do. And if i stand up for myself in anyway it will be flipped to where I am the villain and its useless ik living with parents is hard when your adult but I didn't think it was going to be to the point that I don't feel love or supported in anyway. And step mom seems to treat brothers girlfriend more like a daughter then she does me so yes I am butthurt. in the wrong for feeling this way? Should I just keep my mouth shut? Should I just suppress these feelings because it's useless? I am lost and if anyone has insight It'd be helpful.
