2023.05.29 17:55 bi-loser99 feeling small after friend commented on me “snapping” at people
I (23f) was diagnosed in my 20s after first being “flagged” as a teenager. Since entering therapy as a teen, I’ve been very focused on building my social skills and emotional intelligence. I am hyper-empathetic and am very, very conscious of how I come across. I never want to be mean or rude or snap at people. I try to police my tone and words often in order to make people comfortable. The last thing I want is to hurt someone because I’m being too harsh or rude without realizing. If I think I may be snapping or getting frustrated/overwhelmed, I make sure to voice how I’m feeling and what is going on. I apologize for “snapping” or getting frustrated, and make it clear that they aren’t the problem, and tell them what is bothering me. It’s not perfect but I’m trying.
Yesterday, my best friend (23f) asked me of everything is okay in my relationship with my partner (23m) because of “how snappy” I was during a crochet night the three of us had. I had been trying to start crocheting for the first time, and my bf and I were struggling. I was outwardly frustrated, but I repeatedly said I was frustrated that I was struggling with the stitch and not with my bf and bff. I apologized to both of them and explained of I was snapping I was sorry because I didn’t mean to and didn’t realize if I was. We eventually took a break and decided to pick it up again another day. I wasn’t pissed and yelling, just frustrated with myself.
She’s now asking if our relationship is okay because of my snapping. It totally threw me off and now I’m terrified and a little pissed. How many times can I make it clear I am not arguing or snapping with people, both in the moment and before/after, before people understand? This crochet night was 2-3 weeks ago so idk why she wanted to bring it up after I told her we were doing great and I was giving him a key to my place. We’re already set to move in together in September so I didn’t think it was a crazy jump.
I’m so tired of people turning normal conversations where there is no change in tone or feeling or volume from me is suddenly a fight or I’m being crazy and angry. It’s exhausting, I’m already trying so hard and yet my bff is telling me it’s not enough. She kept insisting something must be wrong in our relationship or in my life to cause me to act like this but literally nothing has changed!! If anything, I’ve been more relaxed in the last month than I was earlier this year after problems with school, my parents, and two loved ones dying. I feel so lost and small and just done.
EDIT: Want to add, in the moments where people “call me out” for snapping, I never feel even a hint of agitation or frustration. The latest example:
My bff: We should grab mozzarella for the pizza. Pizza has to have cheese!
Me: Yeah, that’s why I grabbed some :) I love cheese! (Smiling, same exact tone/loudness as before. I was grabbing a different food item so I wasn’t looking directly at her.)
Her: Oh, uh well I was just saying we should grab it.
Me: No I know, just letting you know I already grabbed it. Now we can grab the cookies and we’re all set!
Like, I wasn’t arguing or disagreeing! I was acknowledging what she said, and responded! That is literally it! It wasn’t until she reacted weird that I felt that I messed up.

2023.05.29 17:54 Fair_Truck_5850 my (26 F) ex friend (18 F) is telling everyone I stole her (23 M) boyfriend and when to my boyfriend's (27M) to convince him to leave me
English is not my first language I apologize for any confusion and typos. I have been friends with a guy called Gift (23 M) for a couple of years now. Him and his girlfriend, Vanessa (18F) had been together for about 6 months. I meet her about two months ago and we hit it off. I even introduced her to my boyfriend of 2 years Jack (27 M). Over the past few months we were good but Vanessa treated Gift in a very toxic way that even Jack had to point it out on a number of occasions. Last week Gift and Vanessa go into a huge fight and he ended it. she's been harassing on all social media platforms and also getting her friends to join in. Today I went to work and found out she went to Jack's office with a couple of her friends to convince him to leave him because she believes I am sleeping with Gift.
Which is odd because I told Jack I am putting off sex until I settle down with someone. She's been telling all our mutual friends this and blocked me on social media so I can't reach out to her. I told Gift about this harassment. So currently our country doesn't have any laws against harassment that I can use to force her to stop but I am really angry that she would say this after I helped her financially with a lot of things. She's telling everyone that I was her "best friend" but I am a snake. She added more details to the story but can't obviously put it up her. So my question now is how do I approach the situation? Jack doesn't want me to talk to her or anyone in her family but I am extremely angry but don't want to stope to her level.
TLDR: friend is spreading rumours that I stole her boyfriend after he suddenly broke up with her after huge fight. And trying to convince all our mutual friends

2023.05.29 17:51 Qhcr loving someone while I don't love myself
First off, I'm not an English native and I will try to do my best, this is long and I supose as it may happen to a lot of us here we never get to tell it all, I can speak for myself when I say that's not because I dont try, I naturally speak a lot, in this case I really, really, really, tried to talk this over with a lot of people, still I feel like I'm at the same place standing still, sinking slowly. Because there's things I can't even see atm or I can't comprehend and given my neurotic nature I find comfort this days trying to surround myself with people that try not to think so much and can help taking me out (I don't naturally do it, it's really hard for me to do so), doing things that don't entails thinking and so on, still, every moment alone, riding my bike, working (my work takes a lot of my time and i'm 99% of the time alone which doesn't help), cooking, etc, I'm crying my eyes out thinking about this situation, this situation that ended, really, long ago, empirically it was just a couple of days ago. - My last relationship before this one I'm talking about ended February 11th of 2021, it was a really sad ending, we loved each other dearly but by the end we were just a couple of friends and it had to end. It was really hard trying to move on from the daily life with her, she already loved someone else by the time we ended the relationship and it was really painful to understand that she had moved on way before ending the relation, it was as painful as in perspective it was also obvious but I just couldn't see it, six months before my father had died and I just wasn't there, I couldn't blame her for not sticking to that part of my life either could I understand why she was leaving so harshly given the context.
At that time I tried everything, Okcupid, Tinder, talking to whoever was there to talk with, I needed that I just felt the worst dude in the world knowing my ex was already in love with someone else and the comparisions came in all shapes and forms to destroy my head. It was at this moment when I reconnect with Flor, a women i've talked since I was a teenager, it was really fun and really nice to talk with her and knowing how she had grown, we got together to dinner one night, it was really weird for me as it was for her as she told me, she never went out with anyone and it was super weird to do so, always had dated women and it was more of a friendly meeting. We had a beautiful night, we laughed and talked about every little detail of our past, people we had in common and what not, I really liked it and I really wanted to keep that up, she did as well. We saw each other one more time, she insisted on me going to her house cause I worked all day remotely as I do now and she had the time to receive me and spending time. After a couple times there with her, at her garden, with her cats and getting to know her in that intimate space I really really liked her and wanted to really really spend my time with her, more so that I wanted with my ex while I was dating her, it was super weird to me how someone I met so little had such a powerful impact on me. One day she asked if I wanted to go to her house and I really didn't, I just wasn't feeling good, my ex was still in my nightmares and I felt super insecure whenever someone in common talked to me, I didn't told her this straight but I tried to ask her to get together some other day. She took it really bad, she started getting angry and pushy, suddenly all the good stuff disappear for a second and I realized I was getting involved way to fast with someone I didn't knew. After that we talked more calmly, it wasprobably a day or two, I told her that maybe I wasn't up for a relationship at that time, that I was really really into her and that was why I had to be so straight forward I was scared of making a mistake and losing this link that i was really nice besides that one incident. She insisted on getting together and I had to take my time, it was probably a week of her insisting and me asking to please try to take it easier, she said things like ''you think i'm a monster, you don't want to be with me then, ok, let's not talk at all'' and that was really hard but I had to accept the fact that she wanted to stop it, it was the most logical thing to do, I think I made a mistake when I said I really liked her, I didn't wanted her to think I wasn't into her cause I really was, and I was just struggling, I was there, just struggling. I ended up asking her to go out because she gave me a ultimatum, I said to myself ''ok, there's no such thing as a perfect time for this kind of thing, you either get on the train or miss it'' and so we saw each other after a month, it was weird but it was nice, we missed each other and we had nice gestures toward each other but when we got to bed and before getting intimate she said ''still, something broke'', I asked what but she couldn't tell me, we had our first moment of uncomfortable silence, I tried to ask further questions but she just closed up to any of them, we went to sleep in a weird mood. After that I told her that I felt really weird and didn't understand what she was trying to inform me, it was too abstract for me and her body language was just off, distant, unsure, I knew that. She said ''if somethin brokes you can always try and fix it'', that's as far as she got, I figured she was just speaking about her trust and the relationship as a whole, given that she was asking for something I didn't give her for a month, she had all the reason in the world to be pissed off, so after that I felt like I had to really make up to her, and I really wanted to, I felt her pain even tho I didn't understood it.
After another month or two the relationship had shifted, she had tons of work and was trying to make it work with a guy she knew at law school, he was associated with a lawyer and asked Flor to work with them, that took a lot of her time and she started rejecting me and the time we built a lot, I understood this, she started talking about getting her car finally, we were talking about that and trying to plan out how to make it, I was going to help her, her family too, but this new asociation made her feel really urgent apparently, I didn't exactly knew why but I follow her during that journey. She became really cold, she stopped all physical contact, by October of that same year it was a couple of months that for multiple reasons she never was available. She started studying even more, thanks to this lawyer she had a place on a class, helping a professor and also they made a pact so she started being a part of the firm he was in. I was super worried, everyday more and more, she was not communicating and things just went sour, I started slipping to the place I was in before I meet her, where my last relationship left me, I started thinking the worst, she knew about that last experience I had and she always vow to be monogamous and sincere with whatever happens to her, so I trusted her but at the same time I knew something wasn't right, something wasn't working. We had a fight about all of this, she said to me she didn't had the time she had before, she wasn't up for love, ''there's no place for love'' she told me, my heart broke for the first time. After telling me that, literally two days after she went on a trip with people I didn't knew and said to me ''lets talk in a couple of days'' I tried ringing and asking to please be clearer before going away because leaving me there with that it was painful and unnecesary. I was crying all weekend long, texting her if she was alright with no response, I started sending long texts about how I felt because I thought ok she's not replying at all let me at least voice my feelings. She talked to me again, but not when she came back but ONE FULL MONTH LATER, she asked me ''can i talk to you?'' out of nowhere, I was barely getting into accepting she wasn't ever talking to me again and not knowing why when this happened, had a date with someone I knew for years and years and it was great, we both ended up crying our eyes out tho cause of our respective relations, it was nice, therapy also helped but stil I was really broken because it all went bad so strangely and without getting any notice, it was really hard to me to reply to her text without being angry and without projecting negativity, but I did, at least I did as much as I could. She told me she needed a moment for herself, she was working harder than ever and the vacations she took were with a long time friend, she asked me to not worry about it, I said it was hard not to worry about something I'm worrying about a month ago, she understood and she said she felt sorry. At this time she told me she couldn't have a relation but wanted to be with me, I didn't understood but I really missed her so I went with it, I shouldn't tho. My psychologist told me not to do so, she told me once and never again, then she listened for the next months how I started excusing her with everything she started doing, or not doing.
January came and it was a couple of months of not having time, not having strength, not wanting to talk, not wanting anything, she asked of me ''You need to shut up and just tell me if I want to do this or that, just do something that works, you are not working for me'', ''This isn't working, I don't have time'' I understood what she was trying to say, at the same time what I felt and what I wanted started to get total invincibility for her, she stoped then and never again asked how I was doing, how life went, how my projects were, what I needed, what I wanted to do with her, she just wanted me to move to where she was at all times, not move a single finger, she wanted us to work within her time, she wasn't giving a centimeter for the relationship, it either worked for her and her busy life or it didn't. At this point I was already broken, started crying regularly, she told me at first ''I'm like this now, I don't even want to have sex, I just want to do me on my time'', I didn't understood why I was there still I was, and still she looked for me when I didn't talk to her, it was super weird, she was angry if I didn't call her at 6am to wake her up like I miss my appointment, she was angry when I wasn't showing interest (I did at almost all times till I just started resenting her strongly), she asked for everything she didn't give. I started naturalizing things I shouldn't have, her partner at the firm gave her 300k for her own car and also lend her his own, he asked her to move to a office and work with him there, he basically was giving her everything and she was giving him all of her time, this she told me just last month, she started filling the gaps cause I wasn't taking any more silence and wanted to understand, ''My libido is at work'', ''But don't be jealous of this guy I'm just using him, it's working for me now, then I don't know'', ''What if he is in love with me? I don't care I use him'', Not only me, her family and friends told her it was super weird, still she keept that up, she toldme not to be jealous but her life was there and I was nowhere, I started to feel like a kid, she shouted to me when I inquiered about this dude, about her feelings and about our relationship ''GROW UP, IM NOT IN LOVE, I DONT HAVE TIME'', still she sometimes cried cause of all of the stress and I was there, she asked for money out of the blue and I was there, 5am getting ready to go to her house cause she was sick and needed help, there. I started to crawl to her basically, accepting a childish like part, while she was doing something else with someone else, we weren't even happy at this point, she told me ''You are not even funny anymore'' and of course I couldn't. She told me they were going on a trip, all inclusive, because of a client. I knew at this point it was it, I wasn't living with this anymore. I told her everything I felt, I told her how I saw a beautiful person turn into a manipulative, cold, unempathetic worker that used people, I knew she was using me at least because I felt it strongly fro months, I don't know how much of what she told me of her associate is true but it didn't matter anymore. I broke it off the night she went to have dinner with him at their new office, it was it for me, I felt like this dude had won, even if she didn't liked her, this dude is not just a dude is a concept for me, it's capitalism and a lot of things that I don't want to get into because this is long enough already. I had fights with my brother because I internaliced that I neded to make more money, get a car, get another job, etc, I needed to make more money to be really succesfull economically but it wasn't for me, I have my own path and I know I'll get there, it's probably slow but I was in no hurry till this happened. I told her this, I told her basically all, how I felt I helped her destroy my masculinity, my humanity, I made things for her that made me feel ashamed given her response and what she did for us, basically nothing, the last three or four months she just complained about how I wasn't this or that. I'm totally wasted now, trying to get a better job, trying to get paid in dolars cause my country economy is fucked up, I had some savings and given the inflation I lost it, also the little amount I had left I gave to her for living, for the car, everyday I spent something on her, that was the only time she was nice to me, I thought, really, that I had to buy the love she didn't felt anymore. After telling her I was ending it and that we would never talk again because I couldn't be open up to someone that didn't care about me while I was so there, I was in love and she wasn't, she insisted and I wasn't able to cry this out of my system, I felt stuck to something that wasn't even mine, where I couldn't change anything, my feelings didn't existed apparently and I needed that to change. Her reply was ''You are way too crazy, I don't even care what you say, I'm going to give you your stuff and that's it, don't ever talk to me again''.
It's been two days from that, yesterday I sended a email saying all the good stuff I saw in her, and how I was really sad cause I felt like she wasn't alright, it was clear to me she wasn't, she interioriced and started working in something that really turned her into a horrible version of herself, I said to her ''I hope you get well, and I hope some day we can get together and say heeyyy i didnt die of hunger, i didnt died on the inside or outside. please stick to your humanity, i fell in love with that, please dont kill it wherever you take it with you, dont lose it''.
She didn't reply, I feel like shit, my psychologist told me I'm a masochist, she told me that she was silently listening all those months to have information, to make a fully developed statement, and it was that, ''you are a masochist, you are dating someone that's draining you and making you hate yourself and you gave her the keys to your heart, you need to question why you do that and how to change it, that's the goal of our future sessions from now on''. On Friday I'm having my first session, this days I can't be alone and now I'm about to enter my work and be stuck here for hours, also tomorrow, and so on, all weekend long after the text I went out, I don't ever go out, I really don't and one of my friends made me do it, it was nice but I came back to my tears, and I'm afraid I'm still going to do so for a long time.
I don't know how to change this, I don't trust myself now, my judgment, I'm heart broken and I can't even think of knowing someone, this was way too real way too painful and way too dismisive of my humanity, and I let it all happen while I excused her, I'm probably ill or something, I'm scared of myself. I don't know how to break this axiom, I don't know how to stop feeling inadequate, I'm 30 and I feel like a child, I don't even think is a good idea getting to know someone anymore. I'm really scared and I'm really hurt, I still can't let go of the lovely part of her that dissapeared and I can't love or care for myself given I can't let go of the narrative we built around me together.
I hope someone can hopeful help with their words and if not at least I tried to vomit all of this in another language which probably is weird but also I think it helped, at least for the next 5 minutes that I'm re reading this and getting angry over my spelling mistakes. Thanks in advance for reading and thanks for being empathetic with this dude who's patetic.

2023.05.29 17:50 katholaha Wondering if anyone has also gone through this
I’m a 25F and I recently got diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome as well as hyper mobility spectrum disorder and MCAS with an ANA of 1:2560 speckled And >8.0 for SSB and SSA which the normal is <1.0. I also had very low vitamin D. My cbc and metabolic panel have been super off for years with unknown reasons. I got an avise test done and I am awaiting the results. My rheumatologist keeps going back and forth on if I also have Lupus. I have all the normal Sjögren’s symptoms from terrible dry eyes to a super dry mouth that causes me to not be able to swallow sometimes. Super dry flakey skin. Salivary gland swelling that causes bad pain and I can’t eat for hours to days. But I also have the malar rash and anytime I step in the sun I get raised red rashes wherever the sun has touched and it will last for weeks. I have really bad hair loss, mouth and nose sores, migraines, light sensitivity, swollen and sore joints especially the fingers and ankles and knees. I’ve had weird issues with chronic pancreatitis with unknown cause. I needed my appendix removed and it showed extensive fibrous obliteration of the lumen and multiple fibrous serosal adhesions which I guess is a pretty rare occurrence of chronic appendicitis. Plus my gallbladder has been removed. I have terrible GI issues ranging from chronic gastritis and esophagitis to constant gerd even on medication and nausea and vomiting; as well as diarrhea with unknown cause. I’ve gotten kidney stones as well as protein in the urine. I’ve had pretty bad anemia for years that hasn’t improved much even with medical management. I am just constantly tired and have zero energy ever. I also have POTs and a rapid heartbeat with occasional irregular beats along with fainting. The list of symptoms could go on.
I just want to know what others think or if anyone else has had the same issues. I’m just so tired of fighting to feel good everyday and I just want to hear other people’s thoughts and feelings.

2023.05.29 17:49 Fearadhach [OC] Timing (PRVerse 24.5
(Prev) Wiki A Spacer’s life is spent in two states: Sheer terror, or staring at a countdown. Raised Admiral Thursh Whoomerson sat in his command chair aboard his Human
No, you feather-brain, CONFEDERATED flagship and tried not to stare at the ever-so-slowly changing numbers.
It gets worse when you are in command. Everyone else has something to do, well, nearly everyone else. At least everyone on the bridge. Anything I try to do now will either look like over-eagerness, anxiety, or a lack of trust in my crew. He turned to look at the plot, relaxed his body, and started in on a meditation he’d learned specifically to make time seem to pass faster while projecting an air of calm confidence towards his crew.
For a wonder it worked for once. A soft ping brought him out of his meditation as the timer hit zero and the Xaltan fleet neared the gravity trap they’d lain in their path. He allowed himself a cold smile as dozens of potential trajectory lines for each enemy ship sprang up on his plot and his his ‘radar’ controllers tried desperately to narrow the possibilities down.
The Benzegal Shipyards my fall before this war is over… but not today! After a few minutes the lines had been reduced to a mere handful for each ship and – better – all of them had converged in to a small enough area for what he wanted to do next. He hit a few controls and outlined a section of space, and the ship’s computer calculated the time-to-fire for him.
He sent the target solution off to all of his Ship Captains, then opened up a fleet-wide comms channel. “The Xaltans have arrived for the dance just on time. Welcome Fleet, you have your designated targets, and I will send you adjusted engagement vectors if they seem necessary, but it doesn’t look like it will. It looks like our dance partners are doing an unusually good job of dealing with the grav-sheer of our little surprise, and will arrive in tight order. Lets reward their efforts with a warm welcome, shall we?”
He heard a few dark chuckles across his flag bridge and nodded inwardly.
Moral is still running high, and that is good. How will it be two years from now when we are still having to engage the Xaltan fleet? Another timer began to tick off seconds. As it neared zero Whoomerson gave his command. “All ships in Welcome Fleet, fire all guns and energy weapons, maximum dispersion patterns. Fill that area of space with everything we can put in it for the next forty seconds. Fighter wings, as soon as the fire is complete, I want every fighter we have moving at maximum acceleration, mode 2.”
The deck tremored beneath him as his own main gun fired, then all secondary batteries went off right behind it. Yet another counter started, timing the barrage, as his gunners cycled through their weapons. The plot showed what seemed to be a haze eminating from his fleet and crawling toward the ever-tightening field of his enemy’s return to normal space.
A light appeared on his console. He looked down at his Comms officer and shook his head, then punched the necessary buttons to officially deny the enemy Commander’s attempt to communicate. He had to force his feathers down as he leaned back in his seat and shared a commiserating glance with his Comms Chief.
What point would there be in talking to a dead man? I know he has multiple suicidal ‘loyalty officers’ on every one of his ships, ready to blow them up rather than retreat or – cool breeze forbid – surrender. He also knows that I know. He shook his head quietly.
No. They can’t surrender, can’t retreat, can’t even listen to reason… and talking to that Walking Dead Man would do nothing but hurt the moral of my crew. And, possibly myself. The latest timer mercifully hit zero at last. Well, mercifully for himself and his ruminations… not so much for the Xaltans. The singularities on the Xaltan ships finally gave out under the grav-sheer of the larger singularity several of his ships were maintaining, and those ships translated – hard – down into normal space. The Admiral had to hand it to them: they’d kept their battle line in far better order than most spacers would have been able to under the circumstances.
Sadly, for them, that meant that all of them came out directly into the teeth of his fleet’s ordinance. They came out in their standard wheel-and-spoke: small and mid-sized screening ships in a rotating disc-shaped formation overlapping their shields to provide cover for the larger capital ships behind them. Of course, the formation didn’t work so well when you got hit before your shields could spin up.
Nearly a third of the ‘wheel’ simply ceased to exist in an instant. Another third of it took crippling damage and could no longer hold their formation. Most of the rest took a number of hits, but some had been lucky enough to come out a little behind their fellows, and were spared the worst of the damage. Then the Capital ships hit the cloud. All of them began to roll instantly, trying to spread the damage against as much of their armor as they could. One managed to get its shield up even before they passed through the cloud of fire. Another one sputtered and went dark. A hard half-growl half-cheer went around the Flag Bridge as that capital ship’s icon winked out, but no one looked up from their stations so Whoomerson let it slide.
Opening round to me, then… though that isn’t hard when you get to ambush an unsuspecting opponent. Surprise is the ultimate High Ground. He turned to fleet-comm. “You have already sent tactical data to the Under Fleet?” The woman at the station nodded. “Good.” He thumbed the fleet-channel. “Opening salvo goes to us, but you all know that these lizards will fight to the last: they have no choice. All Captains, weapons free! Mark your targets, rotate your fire, and don’t let up.”
He then took control of the plot and watched as the two fleets converged. The Xaltans closed their ranks quickly, allowing overly damaged ships to fall behind the screen. They kept the same formation, however: The loss of one Captial ship meant that they still had enough screeners to maintain cover.
Only the Pinigra and the Kothro can use that particular formation to its true potential, and the Pinigra – from what I understand – only because they let their computers do most of the navigating. He shook his head slightly.
Still it is effective. Or, has been. Too bad the Humans figured out how to anticipate the holes they open up for their big ships to fire. He drew some vectors on the plot for fighters to go out and flank the screen disc, looked at the computer’s projections of the disc’s movements, and assigned a few priority targets. And another timer. “All first line ships: when that timer hits zero you are to concentrate fire on the marked targets. Two salvos each, then go back to your previous firing zones.”
Acknowledgments floated up from the pit, but he had already moved his concentration forward. He unconsciously leaned in to study the plot, and… there. He almost sighed as he started Yet Another Timer… and then another one a little before it. “Underfleet, you have your countdown timer. You can see where it will put you, work your firing solutions out now. Welcome fleet, when your timer runs down you are to slow to fleet speed three. Make it look like we are growing timid from the fire we are taking.”
He suppressed a wince as the icon for one of his own picket ships winked out, and another signaled a need to come off the Line. “And, for flight’s sake, watch your shield-overlaps! I want the Xaltans to
think we are taking too much damage, not for it to happen!”
More acknowledgements floated up from the pit.
They got cocky. I’m going to ream some Captains when this is done. Movement at the edge of the Xaltan disc caught his eye, and he watched two flights of his fighters crest the disc at different locations… and be immediately destroyed by wide-angle sweeping shots from several of the large destroyers.
Whoomerson grimaced slightly, but then turned his attention to the rest of the Xaltan ships and smiled. The fighters had been a long shot, at best. He allowed himself to ruminate out loud. “It appears that the Xaltans are capable of learning, at least a little, and have learned not to let our fighters get around their discs.
“Now, lets teach them a lesson about ignoring a bull to swat a fly.” One of the timers reached zero, and the ships he’d designated fired their two salvos at specific ships within the Xaltan disc. As his ships fired he selected two points on the disc, and set yet another timer, along with an order that all ships fire everything they had on those spots when the timer hit zero.
The ships in the disc which had been the target of the salvos pushed extra power to their shields, at the cost of their engines, and rolled to distribute the force. Then they found themselves alone, in a small empty segment of the disc, with the combined might of several Xaltan Capital ships pouring through the hole which had opened up. The picket ships were destroyed, utterly, and managed to absorb a great deal of the fire caused by those openings.
Yes, oh mighty Xaltans. Continue to use the same strategies against us over and over. Couldn’t possibly go badly for you. At the same moment the entire fleet opened up with everything they had, and sent a colossal barrage of fire streaming at two points in the disc. Even that barrage would never have penetrated the overlapped shields of the disc… except that another of those openings widened in the disc, almost as if the Xaltan wanted to accept the fire.
The barrages sailed through the open space, though a few less well aimed shot did singe the shields on a few picket ships. The energy weapons, near-lightspeed missiles, and super high-velocity slugs tore directly into the exposed underbellies of the destroyers which had positioned themselves to take out his fighter wings.
Three of the destroyers went dark, and two others began to lose their places in the formation. To their credit, the Xaltan fleet responded in good order. The disc of picket ships abruptly changed their movements, obviously responding to an order to change their defensive pattern. At the same time, their capital ships made a path to allow the injured ships to limp away from the fight without doing too much to their order of battle.
Whomerson felt a hard smile play at his lips.
Not much, but enough. As the damaged ships reached the middle of the Capital ship’s formation, another timer hit zero, and Whoomerson’s fleet opened with another full barrage. This time they didn’t concentrate their fire, but spread it across the enemy disc, causing all of their ships to respond and focus their attention on his fleet… rather than the Underfleet which translated down from FTL space just ‘below’ them.
The Xaltan formation finally responded badly.
After all this time, and the way they work their formations, they still get locked into two-dimensional thinking so easily. The picket ships all had their shields focused on the incoming fire, and probably had lost both communications and sensors for a moment.
The Capital ship formation found itself, with its mobility badly hampered by their own tight formation and the damaged ships 'falling' through them made it worse.
The Underfleet announced their presence by firing at the unshielded ‘back side’ of the defensive disc, destroying whole sections of it and allowing nearly a quarter of Welcome Fleet’s barrage to pass thorough what had suddenly become so much space-dust.
They then fired into the fleet of Capital ships, which also had their shields mostly forcused forwards towards the obvious battle, with some token shielding covering their rears in case of some sort of end-run maneuver.
They had, however, left their bellies almost completely exposed. In the space of under a minute the battle turned from one of attrition which looked to cost the Confederated fleet nearly as much as it would cost the Xaltans, to a total rout. Some Xaltan ships turned to flee or shut down engines and tried to surrender, and Whoomerson felt a pang of sadness as most of those ships suddenly seemed to explode of their own accord.
A few others tried to suicide-ram Confederated ships, but his Captains stood ready for just such a maneuver and brought concentrated oblivion down instantly.
As the last of the Xaltan ships winked out Whoomerson felt a strange sadness settle over him. It took a few minutes for him to identify the feeling's cause;
Those ships that tried to surrender, or to run. I would have let them go, would have let those men live, but no. The Xaltan Voters… He took a ragged breath and looked at his second in command, then through his flag bridge, and saw the same sentiments settling on so many faces.
One of the Xaltan ships managed to surrender, at least. I wonder if their ‘loyalty officers’ all suddenly grew a sense of self-preservation, or the crew managed to subdue them? He shook his head to banish such musings, forced himself to sit straight in his chair, and thumbed the all-fleet channel.
Time to remind everyone who is at fault for all of this, and push their anger… if only to drive away the guilt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Late on this one, I blame the Holiday. (For those not in the US, we had one of our biggest national holidays this weekend: Memorial Day, which is a remembrance of the sacrifices made by our military people... it is a little like the 'armistice day' that I understand a number of our European friends celebrate, from what I understand?
The editor for links still hasn't been fixed, so adding them is irritating, so I'm not doing more than the minimum right now.
Word count a little higher than usual, since the 2K 'stop' was very near the end of this scene. Next, we are back in the Council chambers, from a somewhat different POV. Hope everyone in the USA has had/is having a good holiday, and everyone not in the USA had a good weekend!

2023.05.29 17:49 katholaha Wondering about symptoms and if anyone has experienced similar
I’m a 25F and I recently got diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome as well as hyper mobility spectrum disorder and MCAS with an ANA of 1:2560 speckled And >8.0 for SSB and SSA which the normal is <1.0. I also had very low vitamin D. My cbc and metabolic panel have been super off for years with unknown reasons. I got an avise test done and I am awaiting the results. My rheumatologist keeps going back and forth on if I also have Lupus. I have all the normal Sjögren’s symptoms from terrible dry eyes to a super dry mouth that causes me to not be able to swallow sometimes. Super dry flakey skin. Salivary gland swelling that causes bad pain and I can’t eat for hours to days. But I also have the malar rash and anytime I step in the sun I get raised red rashes wherever the sun has touched and it will last for weeks. I have really bad hair loss, mouth and nose sores, migraines, light sensitivity, swollen and sore joints especially the fingers and ankles and knees. I’ve had weird issues with chronic pancreatitis with unknown cause. I needed my appendix removed and it showed extensive fibrous obliteration of the lumen and multiple fibrous serosal adhesions which I guess is a pretty rare occurrence of chronic appendicitis. Plus my gallbladder has been removed. I have terrible GI issues ranging from chronic gastritis and esophagitis to constant gerd even on medication and nausea and vomiting; as well as diarrhea with unknown cause. I’ve gotten kidney stones as well as protein in the urine. I’ve had pretty bad anemia for years that hasn’t improved much even with medical management. I am just constantly tired and have zero energy ever. I also have POTs and a rapid heartbeat with occasional irregular beats along with fainting. The list of symptoms could go on.
I just want to know what others think or if anyone else has had the same issues. I’m just so tired of fighting to feel good everyday and I just want to hear other people’s thoughts and feelings.

2023.05.29 17:47 Lazarinth Frieza saga should of been the last DBZ saga
Now hear me out. Frieza was supposed to be this evil tyrant that had the entire universe scared and was supposedly unbeatable. Its kind of silly that a scientist on earth created bio weapons that surpassed a alien being that essentially was ruling the universe.
Frieza saga also dropped a LOT of lore about the Saiyan's story and the Nameks. I personally find Frieza with his original VA to be way more scary and intimidating than Cell or Buu.
I just think it would have been better for the overall story if every arc they hear about Frieza and scared of him every time is name is brought up, kind of like the Madara effect then in the last saga they go to Namek and fight Frieza and he's just such a big deal like he's supposed to be.
I understand the major flaw with Frieza saga being last is the whole SSJ thing. Maybe throughout the story they still get the SSJ forms but it's the 3rd one that that is from the legend that Frieza is scared of?

2023.05.29 17:47 troublethere Unsent letters pt 3
I recently had my final therapy session about you, and it's likely this will be the last letter I write. Living in the past can only last for so long.
My therapist asked me how I'm coping with the situation. Naturally, I wish I had more closure. Something like you telling me off and expressing outright indifference would have helped. That's why I've always despised the concept of ghosting, especially after our last interaction. I wish we had one last fight. If you had just told me that the entire thing was just about money for you, then at least it would be something definitive that I could hold onto. Instead, I find myself constantly envisioning various scenarios, with my mind often dwelling on the worst-case ones first. If I were to take a grounded and logical perspective, you decided you didn't want to jeopardize your new relationship and had to cut things off with me. The harsher option my mind will wander to is that you were disgusted with me and were looking for an escape the moment you got what you needed. Since your graduation, my gut leans more towards the harsh scenario. I hold onto these feelings of self-loathing to make sense of everything that's transpired. It's difficult not to blame myself, thinking that there was something wrong with me or that I somehow messed things up.
I tell her it's like any other heartache. I'm sad right now, but time heals everything. Gradually, I'm forgetting what you look like. Every day that goes by, you occupy my mind a little less. I've reached a point where I can't even recall the sound of your voice. Eventually, one day I won't be able to remember what you were like at all. Perhaps that's what your intention was, and you're already at that point of detachment with me. I believed I knew you, and clearly I didn't think you'd be able to do that to me. What fills me with regret is the fact that I won't know the you in 10 years. How successful you would have been and how everything played out. It would upset me more if I find out you're just spending every day getting high or if you're still at SK in a year.
My therapist requested to read my first letter, and I foolishly sent it to her without editing. She picked up on the fact that I was a month away from making irreversible decisions. She starts to probe, and I lie to her again, saying, 'I was going to fly out to her city a few times.' Admitting the truth makes me feel foolish and pathetic. I'm relectant to discuss it over with her because she'll overanalyze what I was about to do.
So what were they? At the start of the year, I anticipated us ending because you were graduating. I was hoping us separating was to be because you had made it. You might not remember this, I promised you the full amounts from the crypto and stocks investments once they rebounded. Well, they did rebound. I was poised to pay off your car in full and give an extra 50% to set you up with an emergency fund. I had conversations with you about how you were inherently at a disadvantage because you're always set up to dig yourself out of a hole. This was my way of breaking that cycle and making sure you were off to a head start.
This next one made me feel so freaking idiotic. I was buying into what you were telling me. I started looking up job opportunities in your area. I actually found one and set up a virtual interview. It felt so real to me, and imagine my whole illusion being shattered at the very moment when you decided to just up and drop me. I was devastated. How could I be so naive? Why would I jeopardize everything I had for something that wasn't real? So that's the reason why I reacted as intensely as I did when you first told me.
What would I do if you reached out? She asked me if I had the resolve to not be tempted to get back into another sugar relationship. This question poses a great challenge for me. I don't know why I still care, I don't know why I can't let go. I've actually given a graduation present to your sister to give to you anonymously. I might do one last one for your birthday before I completely let go. It makes me sick to my stomach how I've felt the past few months. I hate feeling like this, and I don't think I'd be able to do it again.
She leaves me with one final question. If I could, would I go back and change everything so that none of this ever happened? I think this is such a facetious and meaningless question, but I give her an answer that I think she'd be satisfied with. Yes, I would change things. You crushed me twice, why wouldn't I change things? If you think about it, there are so many things in my life that I would change if I could. I'd live life so many different times if I could change different things about it. Think about the possibilities. I'd change which dental school I went to, which city I lived in, even what professions I'd go into. One life I could have lived in Texas or New York. I could have explored being a baker or even pursued being an optometrist or pharmacist.
All these different possibilities, all these endless lives, and I'd still fall in love with the same person.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for letting me love and take care of you for the brief time we had. I can't torture myself with the past forever. I have so many questions about what happened between us and what's been going on, but the one thing I know is that you no longer want me in your life. I have to let you go. So fuck you and live your life. :]

2023.05.29 17:46 fuzzy_dice_99 Why don’t Pixar movies get criticism for being formulaic or repetitive?
At one time, Pixar was leading the way in terms of animation and story. Their movies were able to tap into complex emotions and sincerity while still being funny for all ages.
But their output of late seems derivative. They have a movie called Elemental coming out and I swear it looks like the exact same story as their last few movies.
Two opposites have go on a journey together and at first don’t get along but then realize they aren’t so different after all and end up caring for each other. I’m guessing there will probably be a misunderstanding at some point that makes them fight after thinking they were friends.
This type of story isn’t unique to Pixar but it seems they overly rely on this formula a lot. Soul, Onward, Luca all followed this formula. Turning Red was the only recent movie that didn’t follow this trope. There are surely other types of stories to tell besides the odd couple road trip.

2023.05.29 17:42 Eastern_Campaign_924 Banned!
There is this one posh resturant/pub I go to on most weekends briefly where I look for people I might know then walk out if I can't find anyone.
Last saturday when I went in there this guy came up to me saying "Your banned from here" I then asked him "Is there a reason why?" and he said "We don't have to give you a reason".
Do you agree that if they’re going to ban me they could at least give me an explanation as to why? Just for the record yes I go in there a bit tipsy sometimes but I never start fights with people. I am autistic by the way.

2023.05.29 17:40 culb77 What Logan really wanted...
I find it ironic that the kids spent the majority of the last episode arguing about what their dad wanted to do with the company, without realizing they were going against his wishes. They were fighting each other on who Logan wanted to succeed him, when the reality is that he wanted to sell to GoJo. And ultimately, even in death, Logan got what he wanted.

2023.05.29 17:34 Hannah_Aikava Just finished DMing my first campaign. How do I cope?
How do you cope with the feelings after ending a campaign?
I´ve always wanted to play DnD but was never able to find a group. So last year I decided “I´ll do it myself”. Asked some of my friends, got the Starter Set and the books and read everything. And we actually played. We had some difficulties, especially with scheduling, and we made a lot of mistakes. I learned so much in this time and feel like I really found my confidence and style as a DM. When I look back to the first couple of sessions I can´t believe how I would run the game in comparison to now.
Last month we had the big finale fighting the dragon. And today we had our epilogue where we finished the last story threads and the players went around the table to end the stories of their characters. It all got very emotional and I had to pull myself together at my closing monologue.
Now I don´t know how to feel. I am so excited that I actually got to do the thing I´ve always wished for. And I can´t wait to start working on the next campaign with everything I´ve learned. But it also feels like saying goodbye to my baby. I guess it´s a good thing if these stories and games make you feel things, it´s just more than I expected.

2023.05.29 17:33 Acceptable_Task2040 Concerned my friends (21F and 25M) are having an affair
I (20sF) am part of a five member friend group and two of the friends, let’s call them Joanne and Tim, used to be in a relationship. I was always close with Joanne and Tim came into the friend group once they started dating. I’ve known these friends for nearly 4 years.
Tim was very toxic towards Joanne - manipulative, controlling, didn’t respect boundaries etc - and after just over a year of dating Joanne built up the courage to breakup with him. There were many times I listened to Joanne vent and cry about his behaviour and once she admitted to me that it was a matter of “when, not if” they broke up I supported her through this. I was so relieved for Joanne when it finally happened.
Tim and Joanne made a big show of still being friends as they claimed they didn’t want to break up the friend group. Eventually Joanne admitted to me that they had started sleeping together again, and on a group holiday I had the misfortune of walking in on them. I was naturally furious at this as me and Joanne were sharing a room and Tim should not have been there in the first place. Joanne begged my forgiveness and I let it go as I didn’t want to sour the mood while on holiday. In this period Tim was still horrible towards Joanne and she frequently came to me for advice and I began to run out of words as my advice was repeatedly ignored.
Fast forward a year and Tim has recently gotten a new girlfriend. I thought this was a good development as Tim would be less focused on Joanne and I hoped this would give Joanne permission to move on. She claimed that it didn’t bother her that Tim was in a new relationship as they hadn’t been sleeping together for a few months at that stage and that he was free to date whoever he wanted, she was just upset that he had made her promise not to be on Tinder or date anyone else after they broke up as it wasn’t fair on him however he was doing it all along.
We once again went on our annual group holiday and I noticed something odd. Joanne was being very friendly towards Tim - constantly disappearing off with him, putting her head on his shoulder on the plane. He was putting his hand on her knee at dinner, play fighting with her, and they were both constantly whispering to each other and giggling. They would be sending messages to each other on Snapchat at the dinner table and not doing a very good job at hiding it from the group. Whereas Joanne would normally rant and complain about her behaviour, she was unusually quiet about him.
One evening they disappeared away from the spa and when I eventually went up to the hotel room I found Tim and Joanne in the bathroom with the door mostly closed over. I was speechless. Tim instantly came out and held up a roll of toilet roll, claiming he was just borrowing a roll of toilet roll off of us as the cleaners hadn’t put one into the boy’s room that day (one of our other friends had mentioned that earlier in the day to be fair and Joanne had offered them our spare one). Tim joked that I must have PTSD after walking in on them last year and then jovially asked “Threesome?” before walking out laughing. Joanne swore that nothing had happened but it wasn’t a good look.
More recently since returning from holiday we had to attend a funeral. I don’t have a car so I asked Joanne for a lift. She told me she’d be at her family home outside of our city that day as it was at the weekend. I offered to get the train near to where her family live but she responded telling me not to worry as Tim would drive instead, picking me up first before her.
Oddly on the day of the funeral, she was already in the car when Tim arrived at my house. She explained that she decided to stay at her flat in our city without any further context which is surprising as she goes to her family home nearly every weekend. Her family home is on the way to the funeral anyway so it’s not as though her staying in our city was more convenient. As the day went, little comments led me to suspect that he had spent the night at her flat.
I can’t help but feel that they’re still hooking up. It’s confusing as all the evidence of a potential affair is somewhat circumstantial and I haven’t seen them do anything more explicit such as kissing or having sex.
I have been cheated on before myself so I know how much it destroys a person’s self esteem and makes it hard to enter future relationships. I feel if I were to speak up a lot of it could be explained away as just being close friends. I’m also scared that I could have false stories spread about me. I have since left the company we all used to work for and I’m concerned they would spread stories that might damage my professional reputation. Despite this I feel strongly that the new girlfriend deserves to know if Tim is having an affair.
My stance is that I will wait until I see something more physical such as making out before I tell his new girlfriend but I feel very on edge just waiting to witness something
So I come to
relationship_advice with the following questions. At what point do I tell the new girlfriend? And is there anyway to go about it without repercussions for myself?

2023.05.29 17:31 mrthrowawaycanada Muhammad never existed. He was a mythical figure created by the Arab empire that emerged when the Byzantine and Persian empires were falling apart. The new empire quickly found itself requiring ideological/theological legitimation. So, they made up an Arab legend to supersede Jesus.
In 1977, Patricia Crone and Michael Cook published what Spencer describes as “the wildly controversial book” Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World. This book propounded a controversial re-interpretation of the early history of Islam that “unleashed an avalanche of work on Islam’s origins”, as Fred Donner reflected in “The Historical Context” in The Cambridge Companion to the Qur’an. Like Wansbrough, Crone and Cook rejected outright the basic axiom of most previous accounts of the early formation of Islam—that it is possible to derive an historically reliable framework from Islamic sources:
It is … well-known that these sources are not demonstrably early. There is no hard evidence for the existence of the Koran in any form before the last decade of the seventh century, and the tradition which places this rather opaque revelation in its historical context is not attested before the middle of the eighth. The historicity of the Islamic tradition is thus to some degree problematic.
At most, “what purport to be accounts of religious events in the seventh century are utilizable only for the study of religious ideas in the eighth”, and consequently, for historical purposes, “the only way out of the dilemma is thus to step outside the Islamic tradition altogether and start again”.
The best external point of departure for reconstructing the early history of Islam, Crone explained in Slaves on Horses: The Evolution of the Islamic Polity (1980), was a mass of documentary material that has been systematically ignored because of its non-Muslim provenance and implications:
All the while that Islamic historians have been struggling with their inert tradition, they have had available to them the Greek, Armenian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Coptic literatures of non-Muslim neighbors and subjects of the Arab conquerors, to a large extent edited and translated [over a century ago, but] left to collect dust in the libraries ever since.
While this dismissive attitude towards these sources was “striking testimony to the suppression” of historical scholarship concerning the non-Islamic Middle East, this material was invaluable, “because there is agreement between the independent and contemporary witnesses of the non-Muslim world [and] they leave no doubt that Islam was, like other religions, the product of a religious evolution”, and not a sudden revelatory event of epochal significance that left, inexplicably, no contemporary historical evidence to support subsequent traditional Muslim claims about it.
The historian Wansbrough had been a mentor of Crone and Cook, although they diverged from his account in several areas, accepting an earlier date for the final recension of the Koran, seen as a compilation of material derived from Judaic forms of Christianity and Middle Eastern pagan sources. In their view Islam, the caliphate, and the Arab conquests were the ultimate results of a rebellion against the Byzantine and Persian empires as they slid into crisis, initially involving a coalition of Arabs and Jews inspired by Jewish messianism, and known in non-Muslim contemporary sources as “Hagarenes”, because of their decision to claim descent from Abraham through his slave wife Hagar as distinct from the Jewish claim of descent from Abraham through his wife Sarah. At some point in the early eighth century the coalition dissolved and the “Hagarenes” began to evolve a specifically Arab version of monotheism as they recognised the need to establish their own religious identity. In this fashion Crone and Cook reach the same basic conclusion as Wansbrough, although they proceeded along a slightly different route in a more combative fashion.
Another central figure amongst the revisionists must be noted. This is the pseudonymous scholar Christoph Luxenberg, who argued in The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran: A Contribution to the Decoding of the Language of the Koran (German edition 2000, English translation 2007) that the emergence of Islam is best understood in terms of the evangelising activities of Syrian Christians who were active in Arabia at the time. Their teachings were, of necessity, expressed in concepts derived from their own Syro-Aramaic language, and those Arabs who responded adopted many of these terms and incorporated them as loan words into an oral tradition that eventually evolved into a central component of the Koran.
This theory allowed Luxenberg to resolve many apparent inconsistencies and incoherencies of the Koran by considering certain obscure words, phrases and sentences as originally Aramaic loan words rather that Arabic. This procedure involved exploring ancient Aramaic for relevant or plausible homonyms for terms found in the Koran on the assumption that these had been imported into the oral tradition that later found written Arabic form in the Koran after copyists and editors had guessed at their meaning, thereby producing the difficulties that characterise the text. A famous example of this is the rendering of one term as “virgins” instead of “raisins”. According to Luxenberg, the word usually translated as “virgins” or “dark-eyed maidens” is best understood as referring to “white raisins” of “crystal clarity”, meaning that the promised delights awaiting martyrs in Paradise are more culinary that carnal—a finding that may be deflating for prospective suicide bombers.
Another scholar drawn into the revisionist camp was Gerd R. Puin, a German authority on ancient Koranic manuscripts. Puin was the head of a restoration project commissioned by the Yemeni government to examine and catalogue a vast hoard of Koranic and non-Koranic fragments discovered in Sana’a in 1972. Amongst the material was a palimpsest which appears to contain the oldest Koranic texts in existence. Significantly, the older of the texts can be radio-carbon-dated to no later than 660 AD. This was after the canonical Koran was supposedly settled, and yet it exhibits significant textual variations that suggest a process of formation of the Koran that differs markedly from the traditional account, and is especially challenging for Muslims who believe that the Koran is the eternal word of God and arrived in this world perfect and fully formed.
Based on this and evidence derived from the other material, Puin and his associates concluded that the proto-Islamic religious movement must have been in constant flux in its early years and that the Koran is an amalgam of texts from various sources that were apparently not fully intellectually assimilated even at the time of Muhammad, and may date from at least a century before. In particular, Puin detected a Christian substrate in the material from which may be derived an entire “anti-history” of the origins of Islam.
In summary, what Ibn Warraq identifies in Virgins? What Virgins? as “the Wansbrough/Cook/Crone line” lies at the centre of the revisionist paradigm, supported, supplemented and developed by the work of other scholars. Instead of the traditional view that Islam appeared miraculously, as “a breach in cultural continuity unparalleled among the great civilisations”, as Marshall Hodgson asserted in The Venture of Islam (1974), the revisionists offer a more prosaic scenario. As Warraq says:
Islam, far from being born fully fledged with a watertight creed, rites, rituals, holy places, shrines, and a holy scripture, was a late literary creation, as the early Arab warriors spilled out of the Hijaz [the Western region of Arabia containing Jeddah, Mecca and Medina] in dramatic fashion and encountered sophisticated civilizations—encounters that forced them to forge their own religious identity out of the already available materials, which were then reworked to fit into a mythical Hijazi framework.
This included a holy scripture to supplant those of the Jews and the Christians, and a prophetic figure to supersede Jesus Christ. The profound implications of this paradigm shift have been summed up by one leading proponent of the traditional position as follows: “If the hypothesis of Wansbrough and others in his group turns out to be true, it would serve to destroy the very basis of Islamic civilization” (Massimo Campanini, The Qur’an: The Basics, 2007).
Robert Spencer’s new book appears to signal a growing confidence amongst the revisionists. He published a biographical study, The Truth about Muhammad, in 2006, based on the earliest sources, and although he remarked then that “from a strictly historical standpoint, it is impossible to state with certainty even that a man named Muhammad actually existed”, he nevertheless felt compelled to concede that “in all likelihood he did exist”. Now he believes that “may have been an overly optimistic assessment”, as
even the pillars used to support the traditional account begin to crumble upon close scrutiny … The available historical records contain a surprising number of puzzles and anomalies that strongly suggest that the standard Muslim story about Muhammad is more legend than fact.
This is not surprising, as the extant material concerning the historical figure of Muhammad is scant indeed, as we have seen. And even in the Koran, Spencer reminds us, “the name Muhammad actually appears … only four times, and in three of those instances it could be used as a title—the ‘praised one’ or ‘chosen one’—rather than as a proper name”, and no information is disclosed about his life. (By contrast, Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times, eleven as the Messiah.) Elsewhere, the sources fall into two categories. First, there is the biography by Ibn Ishaq and related works composed in the ninth and tenth centuries; and, second, the canonical collections of hadith from the same era.
As Ohlig observes in The Hidden Origins of Islam, “following the canons of historical-critical research, these reports, written approximately two hundred years after the fact, should be taken into consideration only with great reservations”; while Brown confirms in A New Introduction to Islam that “all accounts of Muhammad’s life lead back to Ibn Ishaq, an otherwise minor Medinian scholar who secured a place in history by compiling the first full biography of Muhammad”. Moreover, the work of Ibn Ishaq is itself not even extant, but is known only via the work of a ninth-century Muslim writer, Ibn Hisham, who explained that he heavily edited Ibn Ishaq’s work to remove “things which it is disgraceful to discuss [and] matters which would distress certain people” or otherwise scandalise the devout. Nevertheless, Ibn Ishaq’s version remains the dominant source of all later biographies of Muhammad, so much so that, in Brown’s view, anyone who reads a modern biography, such as Montgomery Watt’s major two-volume study, “is essentially reading Watt’s commentary on Ibn Ishaq”, and this stricture applies to similar biographies and textbooks based on them, which together shape much of what is accepted knowledge about Muhammad and the origins of Islam.
Nor are external contemporary sources of any assistance in establishing a reliable picture of the historical Muhammad, despite the literally awesome impact he was alleged to have had on the world at the time. As Spencer observes, “it would entirely reasonable to expect that seventh-century chroniclers … would note the remarkable influence and achievement of this man”, but no, “there is nothing dating from the time of Muhammad’s activities or for a considerable time thereafter that actually tells us anything about what he was like or what he did”. Moreover, what records do exist produce more questions than answers. For example, there exists a Christian account from around 635 of the conquest of Jerusalem by “the godless Saracens … who give themselves up to prostitution, massacre and lead into captivity the sons of men”, but it makes “no mention, even in the heat of the fiercest polemic, of the conquerors’ god, their prophet, or their holy book”. A similar account, the Doctrina Jacobi, written around 635 to 640, speaks of an unnamed Saracen prophet emerging in the region, but this was in 635, after Muhammad’s supposed death, and this prophet (if he existed) was proclaiming not a new religion but “the advent of the anointed one, the Christ who was to come”: a Jewish or Christian Messiah.
Notably, nowhere amongst such accounts is there mention of “Muhammad”, “Islam”, the “Koran”, or “Muslims”, with reference only to “Saracens”, or “Hagarenes”, and so on, and no indication that a major new religion has emerged, led by a new prophet and supreme political and military leader. Even more significantly, the Arab conquerors themselves didn’t mention these terms, with the few references to “Muhammad” as likely to be an honorific as a proper name, and in several instances these are accompanied by the symbol of the cross, suggesting a Christian association. It was only at the very end of the seventh century, sixty years after the traditional date of Muhammad’s death, that any mention of him begins to appear, and it was another sixty years before Ibn Ishaq’s biography was apparently published.
Ultimately, it is only through the wilful suppression and avoidance of historical evidence and the implications that flow from it that the traditional accounts can be maintained, and it is difficult to dissent from what Spencer calls “A Revisionist Scenario” that offers a synthesis of what is known (and not known) about the appearance of the Koran, Muhammad, and the origins of Islam. In his own attempt to provide an evidence-based account, Spencer begins with the “immutable fact” of the Arab empire that emerged at the time and quickly found itself requiring the ideological legitimation that could only be provided by a political theology similar to that exercised over their subject people by the Roman, Byzantine and Persian states. The Arab rulers appear initially to have been adherents of Hagarism, and rejected the mainstream Christian doctrines of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ, with the latter seen instead as a messenger of God. Around the beginning of the eighth century this allegiance began to fade in favour of an embryonic version of Islam that nevertheless retained many elements of the original religion.
This new faith emphasised an extremely rigorous form of monotheism, within which “the ‘praised one’, Muhammad, an Arabian prophet who may have lived decades before”, took centre stage. This prophetic figure had to be not only an Arab, a warrior, and a political leader, but also an inhabitant of central Arabia, to avert any suggestion that the new divine dispensation was anything other than purely Arabian in origins and nature. Similar considerations surrounded the advent of the Koran, which was fashioned from various sources, including the inscription from the Dome of the Rock, and other material that originally had a Judeo-Christian provenance, resulting in the “numerous non-Arabic elements and outright incoherencies” that came to characterise it. In summary, the imperatives of “empire came first and the theology came later … the spiritual propositions that Islam offers were elaborated in order to justify and perpetuate the political entity that generated them”.
So, did Muhammad exist? In Spencer’s view, “as a prophet of the Arabs who taught a vaguely defined monotheism, he may have existed. But beyond that, his life story is lost in the mists of legend.” Ultimately, “as the prophet of Islam, who received (or even claimed to receive) the perfect copy of the perfect eternal book from the supreme God, Muhammad almost certainly did not exist”.

2023.05.29 17:28 TheMarriagePlace1 What Every Couple Should Know Before They Get Married
| https://preview.redd.it/gfx3vsr1hs2b1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5093954ab276a7d4c3103c8fe3a9ab78951a4716 Marriage can be a beautiful journey, but it isn’t always an easy one. Like most things in life that are worthy, a good marriage is something that we earn. We don’t just fall into it. If only it were that easy, right? Behind every good marriage are two partners who have fought for their marriage, even when times were tough. As a licensed professional counselor who specializes in couples therapy, I see a lot of couples who are in the midst of a fight for their marriage. For a lot of these couples, this is the first time they’ve sought help for their relationship. While I am so proud of them for doing so (and thankful they chose The Marriage Place), it has gotten me thinking about all the things I would want a couple seriously considering marriage to know. So, with that in mind, here is my list of 4 things all couples should know before they tie the knot. #1 The first year of marriage is often the hardest The Honeymoon phase is all about sameness. Your brains are flooded with dopamine, you’re in love, you have so much in common, and you can’t imagine life without this person. But sometime during that first or second year of marriage the Honeymoon phase will end and the two of you will enter a phase of Differentiation. This is when the two of you will begin to notice just how different you really are. You thought you’d never argue about sex, or money, or in-laws. But now, during the stage of differentiation, little annoyances will become bigger annoyances and if you aren’t prepared for this stage, you’ll find yourself less content, fighting more, and questioning whether love should be this hard. #2 All marriages that last have one critical component in common Commitment is necessary for any couple to survive the changing seasons of a life together. Now the commitment I’m talking about isn’t only a commitment to each other and to fidelity, but it’s a commitment to put the relationship above all the other things in both partners’ lives. If your relationship is your most prized possession, you will be intentional to protect your union and nurture it even when you become tired, angry and even doubtful you made the right choice. And trust me, you will experience all of those things at some point. #3 Premarital Counseling isn’t just for couples with problems It’s for any couple that wants to proactively plan for a healthy marriage. Premarital counseling is preventative! It helps you explore your relationship, identify areas of strength and any possible areas of caution that, left unaddressed, will cause you possible issues later in your married lives. Setting up healthy relationship habits now will prevent big problems later. According to the statistics, 40% of all marriages ultimately end in divorce within ten years. Since I’ve yet to meet even one couple who married with the intention of eventually getting divorced, that number not only represents a lot of failed marriages, it also represents a lot of pain, disappointment and shattered dreams. While premarital counseling doesn’t guarantee your marriage will be divorce-proof, it can reduce your chances of divorce by 31%. #4 Don’t get so lost in planning your wedding that you forget to plan your marriage The average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is quickly approaching $20,000. I’m not here to tell you that you shouldn’t go all out for the wedding of your dreams, but I am telling you not to lose sight of why you are getting married in the first place. There is a study that shows a correlation in wedding spending and divorce rates. The more money spent on the wedding, the higher the rate of divorce. This screams “priorities” to me. Go ahead and make your wedding day as magical as you can but be sure to also invest in the marriage, not just the ceremony. Set aside your time and budget to ensure you are as well-prepared for your marriage as you are for your wedding day. With that in mind, I should tell you about SYMBIS. SYMBIS is the acronym for Save Your Marriage Before It Starts SYMBIS is the premier premarital assessment on the market, and studies have shown that SYMBIS helps a couple feel more confident in their decision to get married and more prepared to navigate a successful marriage. At The Marriage Place, we use the SYMBIS program to structure much of our premarital work with couples wanting to plan their marriage. This is not a ‘check the box, we did premarital counseling’ kind of experience. SYMBIS is premarital counseling that research shows will lessen your chances of divorce by 31%. It’s also affordable for most couples, coming in at less than 3% of the cost of the average wedding. How SYMBIS works It begins with each partner completing an online SYMBIS Assessment. The assessment covers important topics like personalities, communication styles, conflict resolution, finances, family dynamics, and intimacy – subjects that often get glossed over during the dating and honeymoon stages, but that can pop up and become bigger problems later on in a marriage. Your SYMBIS Certified Facilitator will use the results of your assessment to help the two of you navigate these important conversations over the course of two 80-minute sessions. You’ll cover these topics and more, plus identify the strengths of your relationship and also any caution flags that are identified – all to ensure you are prepared to build a healthy marriage together. At the end of the two sessions, you’ll receive a custom 16-page color report that details your results and will serve as your personalized marriage road map. I really wish SYMBIS had been around 35 years ago when John and I were dating. It took us years to get to a place where we had talked through all of the topics that SYMBIS so gracefully helps a couple cover. You can bet, when the time comes, we will be encouraging (alright, insisting 😉 both of our boys and their future spouses take advantage of all that SYMBIS can offer a couple, because what parent doesn’t want to help their children avoid some of the tough learning they went through early in their own marriage? Premarital counseling can be one of the best investments you will ever make on your journey towards a successful marriage.

2023.05.29 17:27 bi-loser99 feeling small after friend commented on me “snapping” at people
I (23f) was diagnosed in my 20s after first being “flagged” as a teenager. Since entering therapy as a teen, I’ve been very focused on building my social skills and emotional intelligence. I am hyper-empathetic and am very, very conscious of how I come across. I never want to be mean or rude or snap at people. I try to police my tone and words often in order to make people comfortable. The last thing I want is to hurt someone because I’m being too harsh or rude without realizing. If I think I may be snapping or getting frustrated/overwhelmed, I make sure to voice how I’m feeling and what is going on. I apologize for “snapping” or getting frustrated, and make it clear that they aren’t the problem, and tell them what is bothering me. It’s not perfect but I’m trying.
Yesterday, my best friend (23f) asked me of everything is okay in my relationship with my partner (23m) because of “how snappy” I was during a crochet night the three of us had. I had been trying to start crocheting for the first time, and my bf and I were struggling. I was outwardly frustrated, but I repeatedly said I was frustrated that I was struggling with the stitch and not with my bf and bff. I apologized to both of them and explained of I was snapping I was sorry because I didn’t mean to and didn’t realize if I was. We eventually took a break and decided to pick it up again another day. I wasn’t pissed and yelling, just frustrated with myself.
She’s now asking if our relationship is okay because of my snapping. It totally threw me off and now I’m terrified and a little pissed. How many times can I make it clear I am not arguing or snapping with people, both in the moment and before/after, before people understand? This crochet night was 2-3 weeks ago so idk why she wanted to bring it up after I told her we were doing great and I was giving him a key to my place. We’re already set to move in together in September so I didn’t think it was a crazy jump.
I’m so tired of people turning normal conversations where there is no change in tone or feeling or volume from me is suddenly a fight or I’m being crazy and angry. It’s exhausting, I’m already trying so hard and yet my bff is telling me it’s not enough. She kept insisting something must be wrong in our relationship or in my life to cause me to act like this but literally nothing has changed!! If anything, I’ve been more relaxed in the last month than I was earlier this year after problems with school, my parents, and two loved ones dying. I feel so lost and small and just done.
EDIT: Want to add, in the moments where people “call me out” for snapping, I never feel even a hint of agitation or frustration. The latest example:
My bff: We should grab mozzarella for the pizza. Pizza has to have cheese!
Me: Yeah, that’s why I grabbed some :) I love cheese! (Smiling, same exact tone/loudness as before. I was grabbing a different food item so I wasn’t looking directly at her.)
Her: Oh, uh well I was just saying we should grab it.
Me: No I know, just letting you know I already grabbed it. Now we can grab the cookies and we’re all set!
Like, I wasn’t arguing or disagreeing! I was acknowledging what she said, and responded! That is literally it! It wasn’t until she reacted weird that I felt that I messed up.

2023.05.29 17:25 HaXaurus Levelling up
So, as many of you know, typically when leveling up in an FF game you would have a screen at the end of battle showing you the obtained loot as well as exp and level progress. Some of the games that have more real-time combat (XII, VIIR and I suppose XV although you still dump the exp during a rest) there is no screen at the end of battle but instead you just level up on the spot with a level-up notification above the character's head, or whatever. We've seen how you level up in XVI with a full splash screen that stops the game for a moment to show you the details of your new level. I have noticed this two or three times from all the footage we've seen. I believe two of them were after a boss fight and one of them was actually during the Greatwood mission in the recent preview footage where Clive slays either a Vampire Thorn or Worgen and we get a level up screen upon killing it. My question is, will leveling up happen on the fly after slaying the enemy that gives you the exp to level up, or will it the exp be cumulative and show the level up screen after the last enemy of a combat scenario has been defeated, if you earned enough exp in that fight to level up? I feel like its the latter because if the combat was interrupted by a level up screen in the middle of a fight it might be a little jarring or inconvenient.
