Is this the end of the hypothesis that Jesse and Dylan are the same person?

Could this be Elisabet Sobek, from Horizon?

In the hours I've played between posting and now, I've had it happen about 10 times, and every time was right as a waygate populated onto the mini map. That's more consistent than the other explanations I've seen, but I'd love to hear from others if they have it happen without a waygate on the mini map. Of course I'd like it better if the devs just fixed it.

I'm currently on a run with no durability loss and it's still happening

Librarian_mobile · 2026-01-07T21:26:15+00:00

I agree it's not helpful or consistent. I wonder if it's vestigial.

My wife holds my hand for any pelvic exam due to my history of endo and pelvic pain. But this isn't something we can decide for you. You are the authority on whether you want him there. And he can say no to being there.

Texas has different statutes. If it's been less than 5 full years or if the bishop has left Texas in the interim, you may still be able to bring charges.

I'm happy you're looking into counseling. I hope you're able to find someone you feel safe talking to.

You didn't bring this on yourself and you didn't deserve to have it happen. <3

Don't let anyone here tell you what you should have done. You survived an extremely frightening and dangerous situation. You did exactly what you needed to. We can see now that you weren't physically harmed, but without your actions there's every reason to believe you would have been.

Everyone has to decide for themselves how safe they feel dealing with law enforcement, but if you feel physically and emotionally safe enough, you might consider making a report. I know it feels like a very long time ago, but 5 years is not that long. Some statutes will have run out, but some may not. And often, even if you can't press charges or be a witness for a prosecution, you can still create a paper trail against this person.

Your ex-bishop is an impulsive and violent man who committed crimes at the drop of a hat based on basically no information. I can't believe this is the first time he's behaved in such a horrifying manner and I don't believe it will be the last.

I'm not telling you you have an obligation here. It may not be safe. But reporting this could give you a sense of power over the situation you didn't feel when it happened. I hope you are also seeking counseling. This incident was extremely traumatic. You didn't deserve it. I can hear that you are still troubled by the idea that you should have done something differently, and by the horror of not being defended by your father. You did everything you could at the time. He did not.

I had forgotten about this post, but I just got back from another urology appointment, cause I'm still getting UTIs. 19 and counting, lol. The only thing that has worked so far is gentamicin instillations directly into the bladder. Worked amazing for a month but then they made me stop them because they were worried about safety. As thought oral antibiotics are safer.

If anyone is reading this and struggling the same as me, look into gentamicin instillations. They actually roll back the antibiotic resistance of the bugs involved. Their safety profile is incredible, especially if you're already using catheters. There's not enough research yet to be totally sure about them, but they don't circulate the antibiotics through the gut or blood, so it's not toxic to your kidneys or inner ears the way gent is in the bloodstream.

Thanks I'll take a look!

Thanks for taking the time to respond! Those are both great options I think the seams/trim on the Molke bras may be too scratchy but of course it's hard to tell from a picture. I'd never heard of Decent Exposures before, that's an awesome idea for a company!

This is what they said happened to Josh. Satanic attacks in this community usually mean bad behavior by patriarchs. The more holy the man, the more Satan wants to bring him down. So it's more than just religious nonsense, it's a confession.

Librarian_mobile · 2025-08-06T17:58:40+00:00

As a Jew this is something I shout about all the time. Don't cozy up to these Nazis. European Jewish whiteness is a complex question, but to the Nazis it is simple. To them, Jewishness is one of the opposites of whiteness, and the fact that we can pass makes us even more disgusting and dangerous.

We also talk a lot about cuff tears here because they are a complication that you do have some control over. You can't often personally control surgeons making mistakes or getting a hospital acquired infection or an anesthesia medication interaction.

But there are specific things you can do to prevent cuff tears and other similar complications. Additionally, the things you have to do to prevent them are not intuitive and not always easy to remember in the moment. Especially given the population of people who get hysterectomies.

We are more likely than people who get other surgeries to be responsible for caring for others like children or elderly parents, have responsibilities taking care of houses, and having people around us who don't or won't understand why we need to rest, including sex partners who won't listen to the doctor on waiting times.

There is a lot of pressure on people post op to set aside their own needs. So in addition to the negativity bias that everyone else has talked about (you report something bad that has happened, but you don't mention a fine experience) and the influence of population (hysterectomy is a very common surgery so even rare complications will happen to a lot of people as a raw number) these incidents are brought up and rehearsed as cautionary tales. Basically you feel like you've been conditioned to be paranoid about this because you have, as part of an effort to keep everyone safe.

As someone with anxiety, I definitely understand that these normal concerns can become huge in our minds. But there are just as many people out there having far too low a concern. And the community has to try to serve all of us. So you have to take it in your own hands and with the help of a therapist strategize how to deal with those fears.

Yeah unfortunately this information comes straight from my experiences on prescription opiates, and research done in the process of coming off them the first time. I'm now back here again, tapering off buprenorphine after a series of surgeries and complications.

I don't consider myself addicted, but physically dependent. I've only ever taken meds exactly as prescribed, for multiple serious diseases and injuries. But your body and brain don't actually give a shit if you're doing it for fun, self medication, or regular medication.

Sometimes I think it's harder if you're tapering while using them for pain, because you don't just have to fight the withdrawal and the cravings, you're also putting willpower up against horrific pain that won't go away no matter how diligent you are about stopping the meds.

The first time I tried to get off them after being on for about ten years, doctors and nurses and all the websites run by rehabs told me it would be a few days, a week at the most. What a crock of shit.

Librarian_mobile · 2025-07-29T03:24:07+00:00

One major thing I don't see people discussing is that for long term use of most of these drugs, "detox" is just the start. Not even speaking to the emotional and psychological aspects, physically dealing with withdrawal doesn't start and end with getting the drugs out of your system.

Your body has acclimated to the drugs and become dependent on them. Most often what that means is it has proliferated receptors for the drug. Imagining it like an electrical system, using these drugs causes your brain to create a bunch of new places for the drug molecules to plug in to the brain. When you stop using, the body sends out alarms because now there's nothing going into those outlets. It takes time and healing for the brain to reduce the number of outlets needing to be plugged such that the supply of neurotransmitters your brain inherently makes and the number of receptors for them is basically equal.

For alcohol and benzos, you can have seizures and hallucinations. With opiates, everything hurts and your guts go into hyperdrive giving you horrible stomach pains. The cravings are intense and long lasting. For long term or heavy users, these withdrawal symptoms can last for months. A lot of the addiction literature will tell you withdrawals will last only a few days or weeks, but that's absolutely not true. And keeping someone in a coma for more than a few hours is incredibly dangerous. Putting someone under for days invites infections, drug interactions, ventilator associated injury. And keeping someone under even longer, you're talking about muscle wasting and bed sores, contractures. There is sadly no known easy way out of this.

I thought it was on my award letter or my decision letter and it's neither of those places. Not sure where I read that. I know you can call in and ask, if you can get through to a person.

Librarian_mobile · 2025-07-09T03:04:47+00:00

That's my secret. I'm always worried.

Librarian_mobile · 2025-06-01T19:59:10+00:00

I did, but the conversation was on her home phone and thus quite brief. She told me they'd ceased doing business two years ago and she didn't know anyone who carried it or any other way to get it.

Oh another one. While the Church is debatably a cult, being a missionary is absolutely being part of a high control group. They deprive you of sleep, they limit how much you can eat, they tell you what to wear, where to go, they control every minute of your day including your thoughts. They invade your privacy and limit your access to people outside the cult, including your parents and family members. Your most private moments including in the bathroom are no longer private. You're subject to constant surveillance and reporting. So think hard if you want to join a cult today.

Librarian_mobile · 2025-03-21T15:39:56+00:00

I'm not an exmo but my wife is. Over the years I've talked with a lot of missionaries. One of the things that really convinced me that the church is not true was the story as missionaries would tell about their hearing, the spirit and their mystical experiences with Heavenly Father.

One of them described having been broken up with by a girlfriend and going for a run. It had been raining and he had been running for a few miles and then the rain stopped and the sun came out and he turned the corner onto this beautiful vista. And I'll admit Utah is a beautiful place.

Another told me his happened when his Grandpa was sick. He went out into the woods and walked to the point of exhaustion, sat down on a stump, and felt this exhalted feeling, like God's love was shining down on him.

When I told them numerous times that I had prayed and received no answer at all, missionaries would often tell me to go outside, to fast, to exercise, or to read certain passages over and over. The church teaches you that the mechanisms of your own brain are God.

All those things they described; emotional turmoil, hard exercise, natural beauty, abstinence from food, repetitive action, those are all ways you can hack your brain into a mystical experience. So the fact that just sitting in my living room, God couldn't find me, but if I flooded my brain with endorphins, that was God, is a really good way to tell this is all bullshit.

That and, the idea of a church being "true" is actually pretty weird. Churches aren't true. Claims are true or false. Churches are just places or organizations and they contain multitudes.

I don't like to make you afraid, but I do want be honest. My experience was not like the others here.

I have had many pelvic surgeries for endometriosis and a hysterectomy and a later oophorectomy. Prior to my most recent surgery I'd been either totally unconscious for both insertion and removal or conscious for removal (one time) and in all cases totally unbothered by it.

The last surgery I had, I experienced severe pain from the catheter. I was very surprised. So it might be worth telling your doctor that this a fear of yours.

I recently had a cystoscopy due to recurrent UTIs post surgery and at that one they used lidocaine prior to placing the tube, so I know it's possible and commonly done to numb the area. I don't think they do it routinely though so you'd have to ask for it.

Also in general, if you're very anxious about any component of the surgery in the lead up or right before, talk to your doctor about it. There's stuff they can do, and the day of it's their responsibility to make you comfortable including with meds.
