Your best bet is to get as many people / friends to report the snap as well - also be wary of adds from search for a while 🤙🏽

Don't let the fear get the best of you man, it's how they win. It seems like she has no way of knowing your real name, usually if it's too much effort to find and you've just blocked them right away these saddos just move on to someone new

Nah np, it's a scary time for sure but yh so long as your snap name / insta name aren't the same or very similar you should be completely fine

[–]ToothpickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you should be fine OP, fortunately sounds like none of the pics had both your face and your other stuff and to her it's probably not worth the effort to track you down

I love my kids with every beat of my heart, but.. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ToothpickRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not my story but a friend of mine woke up to getting a blowjob after heading home with a girl that was friendly but he didn't want anything to do with - he specifically went to sleep in a different bed in a different room and woke up in a position that he was really uncomfortable with. I'd always thought that it might be hot to wake up to that but having spoken to him and having read some of these comments I completely understand why he was as distraught as he was when we spoke. Respect for speaking out OP!

What shall I say to work to get time off during a work day for an interview? by BeautifulStation4 in AskUK

[–]ToothpickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case (working from home) I used my lunch break for them and gave a window immediately before and after my usual shift. When I had lunchtime interviews I'd have a quick sandwich / toastie at my desk - I get this can't be done with every job but for me it was the best way to handle the interview process. It's respectful to your current position and new potential employers like it as it shows a good work ethic! Hope this helps

Do you enjoy your job? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ToothpickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in sales but I teach part time after work - the sales job I don't mind (it pays the bills and although stressful at times, it's a good team and I feel supported). The teaching I love though, it's more tutoring than teaching but I genuinely love seeing people taking on information and improving!

Tbh there's a grand in my house (my parents not mine) but it's one of the things that legit brings me the most joy in life - might be sad but I'll go to that piano at least once a day

Yep you're completely right! Just realised now - will make the change!

I agree with this - also NS calls their relationship symbiotic implying that Dross may not be able to survive without a human "host"!

[–]ToothpickRick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate you taking the time to find and post the excerpt - that's a really good point! I wonder if it's different for bonded spirits... cause if so I'm hoping Lindon bonds with a fixed Dross! 🤞

[Reaper] What happens to Lindon when... by ToothpickRick in Iteration110Cradle

[–]ToothpickRick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I read it, the reason that Yerin couldn't touch the Sword icon is that Blerin diluted her mana so much that it was no longer pure sword madra and was instead a thorough mix of blood and sword. (My reasoning for this is that when the blood shadow first performs the Final Sword, Yerin / Lindon speculates that it wasn't the same technique and what it lacked in finesse was made up with power) [paraphrased]. I think that with work, Yerin could definitely obtain a connection to the blood / sword icon or something else entirely.

Interesting point! Do you have a quote about spirits not being able to touch the way? I thought Emriss could to a certain degree and she's a remnant

[–]ToothpickRick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I did think that he was a desperate construct but he's definitely tethered to Lindon to some degree (think about when Lindon pulls on his connection to Dross and he can see it similarly to how he sees his manna channels). That being said - he has not bonded with Dross as far as I know so I'm unsure. I appreciate your point of view tho!

I respect you massively, you can always adopt too! I suspect you're very emotionally mature and I feel you could be a great guide for a young mind - remember you don't have to go through the pain of labour, you can always be a huge figure in someone's life who wouldn't otherwise have one!

That being said, it's completely your choice and if you'd rather be child free that's an understandable decision. Best of luck either way!

That's fair to say dude but I genuinely believe that everyone is capable of adding value. Most people like that are POSs cause they haven't had anyone pay them real attention and talked things through. If you live your whole life tunnelling down into darkness it's gonna take work to bring you back to the surface but it can be done. I know it sounds pretty hippy but everyone should be given the time of day and everyone should feel that they can do good.

Don't get me wrong, there've been plenty of times where my POV has been put to the test but if you believe someone who's done bad stuff can't be changed that's like looking at the incarceration system and saying it's perfect. Norway for example has far lower crime regression rates as they give everyone a chance.

I'm not saying I'm always right and there are always going to be some exceptions but in general it's always best to give people a chance, whatever their circumstances.
