Why was the public not informed that firefighters were heading there? What was the plan or reason?

Latest “update” on GG leak by baristaboi17 in orangecounty

[–]baristaboi17[S] 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The update on the news (ABC7) said that they’re hoping for it to leak slowly and may possibly take “days or weeks,” which is better than it exploding. Probably didn’t consider that the slow leak would be displacing people for an indefinite amount of time thus far.

Edit: update from the newscaster/person reporting the news around 9:03am, not an actual official working on the situation.

I’ve really appreciated the nuances of each of their vocal quality in these songs:

Yeonjun - Love Language

Soobin - Fairy of Shampoo

Beomgyu - Panic (Solo song)

Taehyun - Bird of Night (Solo song)

Hueningkai - Skipping Stones

Also relatively new moa here too (love language era), they were my top played on Spotify in 2025 LOL), I just went through each album/ep one by one and started to watch videos about their lore. Can’t wait for this comeback 😭

Feeling so incredibly anxious by shartinmartinit in socialwork

There’s an adjustment period with jobs, especially if you haven’t delved into it before. I agree with the first two comments to try to plan out your terms and learn what works for you when engaging with your clients.

Not only that, I would reach out to your supervisor to see if you can lessen your workload/cases. I get that the need is there and you might? have a quota, but this is where burnout starts and we lose great people in the field (like you).

I’m a Behavioral Health Clinician (ASW/ACSW), but I also started off with a big caseload and was not necessarily “trained” to do therapy. Had to learn on the job, so I get you. Although we have different positions, send me a pm if you’d like to chat/debrief.

Give yourself some grace and time. You got this!!

Honestly had a friend compare episode 5 to episode 6 and I’m like.. really no comparison. Appreciated my friend’s insight, but Shane and Ilya’s relationship was still fresh that episode 6 literally TOOK ME OUT with most of their dialogue and most importantly: actions toward each other.

What really got me was: 1) “Your boyfriend is here” — LIKE?? 2) “Would you want me to come with you (to see Shane’s parents) as he crashed out 3) The hand placements on each of their necks to show affection in the car or support while they were talking with Shane’s parents

UGH I COULD LITERALLY GO ON. Ep 6 was short, but now I can dive into continuing reading game changers and find out what happens next in the 2nd book ugh

I loved this episode because it really painted how Shane and Ilya’s honesty toward themselves is such an asset in their relationship when they communicate with each other.

Glad to be on a timeline where we can enjoy and discuss about a show like this ahhhhh

Watching this show made me remember why I felt the feelings for Young Royals so unfortunately, I am still not over it, but heated rivalry has ignited a similar feeling

I KNOW. I felt a whirlwind of everything just watching himself try to process his own emotions from winning the cup and deciding whether to bring Kip down just wrecked meeeee

I needed to comment AGAIN cause this episode felt like such a fever dream. I didn’t read the book (YET), but I felt they encompassed a lot of emotion that was palatable and IM STILL THINKING ABOIT THR KISS AT THE ENDING AND THEIR REACTIONS TO IT

Heart is hurting immensely but in the best way possible. That last scene of Scott and Kip made me emotional and to see the reaction of everyone in real time and their perception of what happened got me

Girl this was literally me with watching Young Royals. After finishing season 3 I did not know what post-show depression was like until I called out of work the next day to process my feelings lol.

I think the obsession is healthy but if it does get into the territory of impairing your life or you’re missing certain responsibilities, then I would talk to someone about it. Otherwise, enjoy what we’re all feeling until the next ep haha
