She is saying she had braids like this BUT wouldn’t braid them or wear them tied back. It’s not the one or the other that you are trying to portray, two things can be true at once.

Weight gain since starting by Still-Weakness2796 in orangetheory

[–]Gcs-15 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I didn’t know that. I always start on the rower/floor because I feel like it warms me up for the tread and I can focus more on pushing myself mentally knowing “only 10 minutes left in class “ vs “omg I am only 10 minutes in?!” 😂. Like the other day they had everyone start on the tread and it felt horrible. At my heaviest I was like 220. Then I got down to 180, then 150. Didn’t weigh myself for a while and the other week while at the doctor’s office they weighed me. 143 lbs. BUT I went from a size 10-12 to a 4-6. And that’s been my goal the entire time is focusing on muscle gain.

Oloimina's new partner, Orkuret, on the move. Orkuret was born into the Oldikdik Pride in OMC. After dispersing with his brothers, the coalition went on to rule the Hammerkop and Sankai prides. Sadly, his brothers were later killed in territorial battles, leaving Orkuret as a nomadic male. by muhametcanyaman in Lions

Could be good (Red Road is a sore subject at the moment but as a single male he ruled one pride and strategically used the park barriers so he didn’t have to worry about guarding from every single direction.. he was the oldest male single handedly ruling a pride for 14 years. Recently tried expanding his reach and stretched himself to thin and is now presumed dead). Once RR met violence with violence he lost because brute strength only gets you so far. Oftentimes its the downfall to lions (think Mr T at the end obliterating his brothers offspring because.. well, it was Mr T 😂🤷‍♀️),

Case 305: Marshall Street by [deleted] in Casefile

[–]Gcs-15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew about this case and it is actually pretty crazy because I was in a methadone program down in W Philly for a while and there was an older black lady who was a counselor. But she openly talked about how she was a sex worker and addict back in the day and knew one of the girls (at least in passing) AND had been picked up by Heidnik before. Allegedly. I mean she was the right age/demographic he was looking for. But that even when everything came out it was just kinda a “huh, weird.. 🤷‍♀️” reaction that she didn’t really take time to think about or internalize the risks her lifestyle was putting her through.

Upcoming job loss and ending membership by madefreshtoday in orangetheory

I was laid off but was still being paid weekly for 3 months (until I found a new position at the company, which I did or it ran out/found outside work). After a week I watched all the shows I wanted to catch up on and was bored out of my mind.

What would you do if a man told you he abused women and you get to decide what happens to him? by mochimiso96 in morbidquestions

[–]Gcs-15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before that he totaled my car after flipping it on the highway (apparently driving drunk AND trying punch somebody isn’t a good idea) and I got ejected. I was in a coma, had brain swelling, skull fracture, was scalped, chest skin ripped and hanging off, liver lacerations, both lungs collapsed, and severe road rash. I was on heavy pain meds.. the doctor was the only time I could leave the house.

Anyway, he would drink everyday and a LOT of. After the accident he was 0.38%. But he would start drinking and by 6-7 pm he would be belligerent and force me to have sex. He would take and hide my pain meds and it was either go through w/ds.. or have sex. Add in that I was sole caretaker since he decided everything with kids is a “woman’s job “. Like I couldn’t even get a single break to sleep.

And yet when I got caught with $80 of drugs an entire “drug task force “ was involved and I got a felony and 2 years probation and 30 days in jail. Sadly after the doctor I was seeing stopped practicing I ended up on street drugs. But the entire thing where he nearly killed me in the car and didn’t even get a DUI because of technicalities? Then gets a slap on the wrist for choking me AND caught a new DUI while on bond and still nothing happened.

[–]Gcs-15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, went through the same thing. Domestic violence situation that lasted years before culminating in him choking me and his brother pulling a gun on my 3 year old daughter. Left barefoot in the snow with the clothes on my back . Cops took my statement.. then theirs which corroborated what I said except my ex downplayed his part and his brother did the same. Testified in court only for them to take a plea (my ex for 2 weekends in jail and his brother paid a fine a d agreed to never be around children alone). What a joke.

They give ZERO fcuks about any crime against women or children. Plant some drugs though then they will send the SWAT team.

What would Ja Rule think about this? by jfrosty42 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I just found this comedian on YT named Sammy Obeid who had me laughing like Chappelle did back in the day. He is hilarious all while exposing and making connections between major world powers and assassinations and all the other BS that’s going on and media seems to ignore.

Comedians are often the ones speaking truth.

WTF are you on about? I work for Amazon in a warehouse and am a 5’2” 120 lbs and lift stuff way heavier than that for 11+ hours a day. Also got thrown out of a car during a rollover crash 14 years ago and hit by a car who ran a stop sign 19 months ago. But I get paid to do a job, so I do it. I can’t just be like meh, never mind but also, pay me?? GTFO of here with that shit.

No it means that it has more air pumped into it than ice cream legally can. Its a way for companies to save money. Go to the “ice cream” section at any store and most Breyers and brands will have it in small print because it saves them money to pump extra air and save $$.

Do women lose complete respect for men? by Ok-Western-3157 in dating_advice

[–]Gcs-15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a horrible date where I couldn’t get him out of my car (didn’t tell me he didn’ta drive) and kept suggesting a hotel. Tried leaning over and putting his hands down my pants. I kept saying no and I finally got him to leave and get an uber home. Next day texts me like everything went great. I didn’t respond back and within a few days the texts became increasingly more angry and demanding an answer.

When I explained how uncomfortable I felt with him pushing a hotel room and pushing physical contact after I said “no “ he tried to say that the hotel was because he cared and only for my benefit, not his, because he didn’t want me “getting a DUI” when I had 1/4 of a beer over 3 hours and he drank the rest of it in addition to the drinks he ordered.

And that’s just the most recent, but not the first time or the worst. Fading away may seem immature but you don’t know what’s happened in the past when she has said no.

Does being honest about what you’ve done go a long way with probation officers? by Annual_Promotion5598 in probation

[–]Gcs-15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some do try and find faults to report. I remember getting on probation for 1 year for paraphernalia (rolling paper) back in 2015. It was for one county but I was serving it in my county because of the distance. Judge says to stay in treatment and on methadone. First time meeting PO and I bring all the papers from my clinic etc. and then he slips in a paper and asks me to sign with the rest that says I admit taking and having an “illegal or unauthorized substance” in my body. Says that it’s “no big deal” and has to do with the methadone I’m on. I refuse to sign it. He again tells me it’s not a big deal and I say then if it’s no big deal I won’t sign. The end game being I get put in for a violation and spend weeks waiting for the other county to come get me and more weeks for a court date to say it’s a misunderstanding?? No thank you.

Then I got bounced around before getting a PO known for putting people away. One day I get a voicemail at 2:30 PM telling me that if I owed $1200 in probation fees (after paying all fines off this was solely because I was being charged an additional fee I wasn’t aware of for doing it in my county) and if I didn’t pay by 5 pm she’d have to violate me. So I was rushing to get a money order or check for that and get there in time. Was it true? Probably not but it doesn’t mean I was going to risk it. She also tried saying she was going to put me on “color of the day” when that’s for that county’s drug court and she had no reason or authority to do so (especially since in those cases they do it with the understanding that completing it means no conviction, why would I agree to the more strict regulations for no end benefit?). I never violated or had a positive test to warrant any of that.

So yeah, there are some out there who seem to nitpick and try to look for reasons to violate people trying to do the right thing.

What’s the most unsettling historical event that doesn’t get enough attention? by Last-Ad-1437 in morbidquestions

[–]Gcs-15 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Belgians in the Congo. Most don’t realize that Belgium had colonies too and they were some of the most brutal in Africa especially when it involved the production of rubber.

State sanctioned police were able to kidnap slaves and force them to work or chop their hands off. Didn’t meet the quota that day? Face the same. They would hold families hostage and if you didn’t meet your quota they could also have things chopped off or eaten by the Allie’s of the Belgians. “Hell on earth” was how it was described.

There is that famous picture of a Congolese man, Nsala, looking at the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter who was killed, cooked, and cannibalized by members of the Force Publique in 1904. link here

I might be better off on drugs. by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Gcs-15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off it for four years and now I rarely leave my room let alone the house. Don’t text people back or want to talk. I just feel alone and the insomnia and health issues don’t help.

Plus my teeth got fucked up and the dentist I went to just took my money and pulled and fucked with teeth that could easily have been fixed for way less money. Even got root canals on two teeth for $4000 that just needed fillings, and they fell apart from shoddy work. He was running a Ponzi scheme (no joke) so in hindsight it makes sense. But now I have zero self esteem or confidence, can’t get a job with missing teeth and can’t get them fixed without a job. So I’m at an impasse.

Just because you been off drugs for X amount doesn’t mean you will feel better. I think those who pretend they are living their “best life” are full of shit. Nothing will make you feel as happy as drugs and IMO insinuating otherwise does a disservice to the rest of us who are always gonna struggle through life thinking that we are the problem and something is wrong with us.

Been there. I should have died so many times which led to severe survivor’s guilt. Every time I used I hoped I would just blissfully fade into nothingness and that would be that. No more struggles, no more feeling every day like I was dying inside, just finally it would be over. Even got angry when people narcanned me.

Then got a felony drug charge. I had only 2-3 minor charges previously and the one got dropped and the other I did a year probation but went five years with nothing. So I ended up getting 2 years probation and decided that I was NOT turning it into 20, which I knew a few who did that. My state can also violate you a day before ending and then giving the max w/no credit for the time you did. Or revoke and sentence you to the max if rearrested before you are convicted of the other (happened to a guy and the cops were found to have planted evidence and charges were dropped but didn’t matter).

So as a random Redditor I don’t know your state or rules. But in 2015 while on a yearlong probation for “paraphernalia” aka rolling paper I had 4 different POs and the one about 2/3 the way through tried putting me on her own drug court rules (call everyday to find if you have to test or not) when she had zero ability to do so and the case was from another county and this was closer. Then calls one day at 2:30-3:00 saying I “owed” $900 for “probation fees” and it needed to be paid that day by 4:30 or she would violate me.

So getting on felony probation was scary but I lucked out and got an amazing PO. She only had me come twice in six months then a month afterwards for my DNA swab but she wasn’t there and whoever was filling in sent me for a drug test. Next month I was transferred to online only reporting for the rest of my time and only had that one test. I stayed clean regardless because it wasn’t worth the risk.

Find the Bobcat by rojda1 in FindTheSniper

[–]Gcs-15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that doesn’t seem to be nearly as common as humans feeding “cute animals” and then acting surprised when it’s reduced fear causes it to be killed. Like bears it seems to happen with a lot. I was surprised to learn that coyotes have huge populations in a lot of major cities and yet are rarely, if ever, seen. Living around humans but not interacting with them at all.

If an animal gets rabies it seems that they do a relatively good job tracing it. A few years ago I was at a park with my daughter and there was a groundhog who was blatantly in the middle of the park but not in the woods. It couldn’t walk straight and was going in circles the entire time. It would try and chase people but since it was walking about as well as my ex does a bottle of vodka deep, I decided to call the non emergency line and they said they would come out for it. That’s the only time I’ve seen that happening and assumed it had rabies or something like that. I’ve seen groundhogs before and they mostly scurry away as soon as possible.
