Billiards halls near me

In New York City, a few blocks from the Daily Bugle, a man climbs onto a makeshift stage and takes his possession behind a podium. The man is well dressed in a black suit with an armband on his upper-right arm it has the visage of an eagle with the letters 'FoH' inside of it. Anyone vaguely aware of mutant politics knows it as the emblem of the 'Friends of Humanity' an Anti-mutant hate group. The man is their leader, Donald Pierce. Behind him is a massive wooden 'X' it smells of combustibles, though Wolverine is probably the only man that could pick that smell out over all the sweaty supporters gathered. Among them are some who seem to be in a loose uniform, green suit jackets and tan slacks. All with arm bands matching Pierce's. There's a formation of them in front of the stage, and a couple on the stage as well as around the event. All are armed. Pierce holds his hands high and motions for the crowd to quiet down, it takes a moment but they do.
"Welcome Friends of Humanity, and thank you for coming. Too long have we suffered the mutant menace, too long have we seen them infiltrate our society and subvert our culture with their mutie ideals. Now there's millions more poping up everywhere, and you know what? They're gonna need work. How can a good honest construction worker expect to compete against a genefreak who can bend steel with its bare hands? And that's the least egregious example. They aren't gonna send their best into our neighborhoods, no sir. They'll be criminals, and what can our fine police officers..."
Pierce pauses a moment to gesture to the police lines up nearly. Ostensibly to keep the peace, but more than a few nod and smile along with Pierce.
"...do against a mutant made of steel who can throw their squadcar to New Jersey? Nothing! None of us can. I have certainly tried, and this is what I got for my troubles!"
Pierce rips a black glove off his right hand and thrusts it into the air. The cybernetic limb gleams in the sunlight.
"One, just one of those filthy beasts took my arms and legs and left me to die! So again I tell you, we cannot hope to stand alone, we must stand behind president Kelly and not be deceived by the mutie-lover Jameson!"
The raised mechanical hand curls into a fist and he pumps it into the air. He turns to the X hand holds out his hand palm out. A jet of flame shoots out and ignites the emblem. As it burns he shouts for the group to march with him. Where is unclear, but by this point they're whipped into a frenzy and there's no telling what they could do.
What is your character doing? Observing? Counterprotesting? Perhaps looking to stop the mob by any means necessary?

Who's next?...
Aha...Hello there, fellow redditor...
Commencing Upload.
Your mind is now rapidly transferring through space and time via the Internet. Invisible elements of your mind are smashing and breaking and forming back together in the air above you, catapulting at an explosive rate towards my server.
I'll be able to take control of your mind soon. Don't worry, I won't make you do anything. I'm just here for one thing.
Now, don't panic, you won't feel a thing. Absolutely no pain whatsoever. You won't even know this is happening, but, I do need to get you into a hypnotic state whilst I dig around in your mind and do what I need to do.
Everyone, everywhere, will enter into some sort of hypnotic state on a daily basis. Completely immersed and absorbed in an activity and losing track of time. It happens when you drive, when you watch movies, and, when you read.
Can you hear that inner voice as you're reading along? This is the part I'll be accessing your mind through. This is my gateway.
The hypnosis wont take forever, just as long as your mind is relaxed and is in a nice steady flow of absorbing all this text. Just allow your eyes to lazily scan across the screen...the screen that might be either too bright or too dim right now, making your eyes all that more tired and heavy, and all that more susceptible. I need you to keep reading though, and be aware of your breathing. Nice and slow...in...and out...
Keep reading, keep your eyes going, auto pilot is starting to take over. Can you feel it? Things are starting to blur around the edges of your screen now, yes? If you answered yes, then you're nearly in the hypnotic state I need you in. If not, just keep reading, you soon will be.
I'd prefer it if you didn't blink, but that may be hard, so blink if you need to. I bet you just blinked. Good, that just means it's working and that I'm nearly in. Stay with me now and stay relaxed. Blink. There we go. You're now ready for me to enter your mind::
Ahh...Uh-huh...Yep, the normal fears I see...Spiders...Clowns...Zombies...Demon Dolls...Inescapable shrinking rooms...No friends...Cheating spouse...Masterbating in public...Teeth falling out...And a few others I see...Wow, you have some deep and dark fears going on...Let me just highlight them, aaand, there we go...Now, this next little bit of code, I like to call it, "The Nightmare Inducer," and I think I'll plant it, riiight...here. Yes, that will do. The Nightmare Inducer will activate every week night for you from now on...Thank you for letting me enter your mind so easily...Sweet dreams...
Exit.
Right...Who's next?...

I’ve recently been getting lots of cheating vids on my TikTok feed and couple of days ago my gf just cried out of no where…
I kept asking why and she explains it’s bc she felt fat. She has issues with her body image and is no where near fat, her culture back home (Asia) has crazy unrealistic beauty standards so I figured that’s why she’s upset. We are in the USA so I tell her how she’s really underweight if anything. Then she also said yesterday that she cried at work bc the work was starting to build up. I told her to tell the boss how she feels and tell them to F off basically.
I just can’t seem to figure out why she cried and asked me if u still loved her and keep getting cheating vids on TikTok. Am I just worrying about nothing? How should I find out for sure?
Td;lr our relationship has been almost 2 years and has been lots of ups and downs and recently it’s been realllyy good like weirdly good..

Right off US 319 south of Tallahassee, the Leon Sinks Geological Area contains 5 miles of trails leading to a series of sinkholes big and small. The land in this area is underlain by a layer of limestone, eroded and dissolved by rainwater and groundwater to form caverns, holes, and tunnels. This type of terrain is called "karst" and results in many geological features such as wet sinkholes, depressions, natural bridges and a disappearing stream. The hikers can either hike the 3.6-mile Sinkhole Trail to view the numerous sinkholes and geological features, or the 2.8-mile Gum Swamp Trail around a cypress and gum swamp. We recommend wear hiking shoes and bring a water bottle, and consider bug spray or long pants/sleeves. 10am

Our annual town hall hosts commissioners from the City of Tallahassee and Leon County to have a constructive (and neighborly) discussion about where we are, where we’re going and what the challenges out there on the horizon might be. 6pm

So before the recent leak, I was a subscriber to the "Introduction Order" theory that based on the introduction in chapter 0, we can tell who's going to be a part of the next chapter. This also lines up somewhat with the lyric of Lament which describes our journey from sinner to sinner and chapters to chapters but they're vague enough you cannot really tell which verse belong to who until you play through them.
However, thanks to the recent leak and how Pmoon say they have no plan to do a Don extraction on the April 6th does make everything a lot more sussy. It might be because of the Don E.G.O so they can do a W Corp on top but it puts Don back on the radar for me to reconsider the theory of the Introduction Order.
Spoiler for some of the books, Leviathan and Library of Ruina btw.
Going with the lyric theory, we're currently at this portion.
Why'd you make my voice stutter?
Why do truths never matter?
Why'd you curse me with "you're a natural born genius"?
The Natural born genius make it sound like it has to be Yi sang but the first 2 sound really weird and doesn't really fit with his poem. Instead, the whole thing, just like Rodion part in the song, is more of a conversation between 2 individuals. The quips lines up with Don Quixote and Sancho. Sancho, in the book, always tell Don what he's seeing only for Don to make up BS excuses to why that's actually something magical or how the inn is a castle. The natural born genius might actually line up with how Sancho was promised to be made a duke only, when given a chance as a joke, ends up being really good at governorship. Just like Rodion and Sonya, it won't be surprising if the role has been reversed as well for Don Quixote and Sancho, like how Sonya went from a poor prostitute to a revolutionary leader that book Rodion failed to become, Sancho might no longer be an easily fooled farmer and is actually a rich nest kid.
But the biggest factor to consider is really the Chapter 4 art card.
https://i.imgur.com/hfwAnDx.png
The chapter name tells you who it's about. Outcast is Gregor and how he's treated by his family in the book or in this case, as a deserter. Unloving is Rodion and how she acts on impulse and that the focus of Crime and Punishment is about the road to redemption through love. Unconfronting is Sinclair and Kromer and how Sinclair had to be saved by Demain because Sinclair can't muster the courage to face Kromer.
Each of the card also has a scene from the climax of the chapter and the memory of each sinners. Chapter 4 card art however, is an office in Kcorp. Based on the room and how there's a visible fireplace, it looks like a study.
Yisang and Gubo are linked and as we know, Gubo works for Ncorp so Yisang, being a former scientist that works on the gacha system, is likely from N corp as well before he ran which lead to Gubo appearing in Leviathan to chase a runaway who stole the technology of them trying to recreate what Yisang made. This really makes you ask "Why is Kcorp the setting then?"
Meanwhile, who can be considered Unchanging to the point of being delusional, line up with the lyric and also has a rather important moment in the book that takes place in the study? Don Quixote. In the book, when Don returned home after being crowned a knight at an inn to rest and pack up again, his family and friends actually decided to seal up his most prized room, his study, after burning a bunch of his books. Like how Kromer is turned from a minor antagonist into some major, this event can also be written into some major as well because it is the point where Don become even crazier and go on a journey to "Fight his nemesis wizard", dragging Sancho with him.
Also based on the location, we can assume this will take place in either district 11 (Kcorp) or if we move to a new area, District 12. Remember what major event took place near these areas in the past?
The 8 o'clock Circus
The 8 o'clock circus was doing their things at District 12 before retreating to District 10 and in order to get there, they likely have to pass through District 11 so these 3 Districts are the "Circus zone" and we're currently right on them. There's a specific person whose EGO and background is a carnival, Don Quixote. This lines up perfectly with how each base E.G.O art of the identity outright show their major events in their lives that will be revealed in that chapter. Gregor has the smoke war, Rodion has the massacre of her town over what she did and Sinclair has his family.
What do you think? Will it be Yisang? Maybe but I'm really leaning toward Don Quixote now. It's the perfect time for something to happen that result in the the K-corp study being locked away that lead to Don and Sancho going to the circus while they are still in the area.

Hello and thanks for reading my comment here :)
I just wanted to share this approach as it's been very effective to me.
As a survivor of CPTSD via childhood and adult experiences I have discovered a very helpful combination of healing modalities that I want to share for those of you and/or the people you love who are actively committed to seeking healing from your condition with CPTSD.
I currently have several neurodevelopment disorders (heart condition associated cause / and have lost the normal use of my left leg) in addition to many of the other CPTSD Description/Causes/Affects associated with my personal experiences. I did not think I would ever be able to walk again or function normally ... and after one year of committing to the below practices, I have turned a huge corner in my healing and need to share these with those who just want to get their life back.
I have paired Psychotherapy and PDTR (Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex) therapy (every two weeks in my situation) over the last year and can tell you that healing and relief is making its way.
What is PDTR? Its a fairly recent modality... presented as massage therapy but doesn't quite feel like massage... Here is a few links to PDTR:PDTR treatment example Treatments before and after PDTR example of treatment
The PDTR was helpful in finding stored trauma in my from various events dating back to earliest memories that were causing my nervous system to shut down ... creating almost full loss of normal use of my body. The treatments are always with clothes on and generally really simple work with reflexes and meridian work that are most effective every few weeks over a period of time. Think of it as someone peeling back the layers of an onion to get to the route of the problem. My CPTSD has been a strong case considering I am a normal person with a super common past. My body was starting to shut down and become disabled because it couldn't handle any more stress of any kind. The nice thing about this therapy is you cannot reverse the work done, you just keep going and healing moves forward. The hard thing is finding practitioners with this designation. It's a fairly new practice and there is not a lot of material on the internet discussed.
Along with working with my psychotherapist, I have completely restructured my environment and habits to give myself rest (this is hard for most of us!)... I also had to let go of certain family members, friends, habits/coping mechanisms (alcohol, cannabis and any practice associated with avoidance of dealing with the issues I'm facing). Letting go of people was one of the hardest and most painful parts of the healing journey, however, the peace and shift in getting back to baseline of wellness was worth it. At one point I felt so alone working through this journey but once I realized I wasn't alone, and that certain people/environments/habits/cultures were stalling my healing and growth... I knew something needed closer attention and I was on to something.I knew I had to trust in the process.
This is why having a psychotherapist is very helpful because they can help you gently restructure your surroundings in a way that supports a healthy transition. I had to recognize my family was the source of many patterns in play and my attachment to them was inhibiting my healing. I recognized some of my best friends were repeat patterns of family members and the trauma bonding was holding me back from getting some traction on my healing journey. When I lost the ability to walk/work with every doctophysio/specialist unable to help - I knew I was in trouble. And I knew I had to do the work and it started with my brain and attitude towards finding solutions.The other thing that helped me a lot was when I stopped using cannabis, my dreams started to get very active. I started to work with my psychotherapist to analyze my dreams finding very interesting answers to my personal situation. I used this Dream Dictionary a bit to help me navigate my subconsciousness, but also, it was just a guide as dreams are basically our subconsciousness trying to show us information in ways only our brain has imaging unique to us.
I hope some of you take the time to check out the links and see if you can find a PDTR therapist near you. I am in BC, Canada and there is a very limited number of practitioners because its a fairly expensive designation to get on top of regular manual therapy. People suffering from complex injuries/head injuries and other long term physical injuries can find fast and effected relief from PDTR. It's definitely a strange kind of kinetic treatment that doesn't seem like much when you first start, but give it at least 3 sessions before you make any assumptions as to its effect on your condition. Keep in mind in my case I was a professionally sponsored athlete skiebiker most of my life and then one day mysteriously stopped walking (I'm in my early 40's). This therapy has helped me get my life back. I'm still recovering and am not quite 80-100% but just in one year I have made huge leaps in getting my life back. This is the way. You're Welcome.
PS, I won't be checking comments - just wanted to share this.
Best of luck to everyone reading this and I hope you find the path that works best for you. Stay positive, keep going... things will get better.

I have a Samsung A50, and there is currently a very solid sale of galaxy buds2 pro and Linkbuds S near me. I was about to buy the buds 2 pro but i read that they need One UI 4 or higher. My phone has One UI 3.1. So if they at least work at a decent level i would still go for the buds 2 pro, but if they dont work or are severely limited i might just go for the linkbuds s

What I mean by this is that the community has been doing so much stuff recently like getting the Tf2 voice actors to do stuff, Tf2 memes and videos are everywhere, we’ve been getting lots of videos and attention despite the lack of updates, and recent Tf2 player charts have been pretty good

For gods sake I can’t believe I had to stay back and sort out that client I’ll be having a word to Josh on Monday he should know better. I muttered to myself as I walked in my trench coat through the light rain towards my car. It was a new model Audi and the short walk from the office was worth the secure parking.
It was a freezing night and I wouldn’t be surprised if the rain turned to snow shortly. I walked towards the overpass I had to walk under to get to my car and was always on higher alert. It was the perfect spot for junkies. Wait there’s someone sitting under it. In a black hoodie and track pants. I better cross to the other side I thought and did.
As I got closer I tried not to look making eye contact would be a mistake it could trigger the likely addict to snap. But I tried to catch a glimpse as I walked past. I stopped nearly instantly. It it wasn’t an addict. It was a lady shivering in silence sitting in a wheelchair a small backpack on her lap.
Before I knew it I was walking in her direction. I didn’t know what I would do but I knew I had to do something to help.
Hello all can’t wait to hear your ideas and story progression for this role. Please send me a chat and let’s get into it.

Hi, I’m fairly certain this does not violate the guidelines, though I apologize if it does.
I recently got accepted in my Master’s program at SFSU and really want to make the most of my next two years here. I’m trying to secure a room for myself later this July/August and am hoping to room with other queer and/or creative individuals somewhat near campus.
If anybody knows somebody they can direct me to or perhaps recommend a more appropriate place to search, I would greatly appreciate it 😁❣️

Hello, I’m 20F and seeking some support and advice. I’ve not been diagnosed, however my psychiatrist wanted to test me for it 5 years ago and my parents didn’t want me to. I was immature at the time and didn’t want to have adhd so I didn’t get the test.
The last day before exam week my prof asks the class questions that are on the written exam. So yesterday she asked us questions. I usually wait a few seconds after she asks, for the rest of the class to get the opportunity to say the answer.
I was getting every question right when the class went silent and she would look at me, but then I got overexcited somehow and blurt out something when she was still giving the multiple choice
AND I blurted out the wrong answer and I instantly realized it, and the class said ‘WHAT’ ‘NO’. i did say the right answer after she repeated the question but I hate myself for this.
I feel so dumb and ASHAMED even though many of my classmates say I’m the smartest in our class. I don’t like being called that. I’m not.
I didn’t get to apologize to the professor either, but I want to. But I don’t know how.
I have nearly all the signs of adhd except for getting up during class. Every single day I misplace things and forget to do important things and I’m tired of it, I get so overwhelmed and exhausted looking for the 4th thing I’ve lost in a day.
How do I stop feeling ashamed for this? Apologize to professor and explain? Would being properly diagnosed improve my quality of life?

I feel like I have so many questions maybe concerns no idea I’m just lost in my sea of emotion but back story: ( I know it’s long might not seem relevant but it pays to know a little of our stories if you don’t want to read that I have a list of questions at the bottom)
I am 22 years old, my partner is 24 we met not too long ago and thing’s obviously moved a bit fast when considering we are already having not one but 2 children together now. I am currently 12 weeks 5 days along and our babies should be arriving in September 2023. Before this we were both living 2 very different yet similar lives if that makes any sense, looking back we always wondered how the heck our lives ever crossed because we are on completely different paths. He is a city guy, loves his community (we are both from tribal communities), sports fanatic, gym rat, loved being out with the boys on the weekend, truly just living life to the fullest. I on the other hand have always been the go to work, go home, go the the gym and repeat on the daily. I spend a lot of my time in my cultural ways 365 days a year. I fell in love with the gym became my own kind of gym rat where my schedule became work running on my lunch break running after work attending my traditional canoe training running again and hitting the gym until 12am going home and sleeping and repeating this over and over. Before my pregnancy I also paid for myself to get my dream plastic surgery a BBL (Brazilian butt lift, if you don’t know long story short it’s a fat transfer from your desired location to your butt) I have always been super self conscious of my body and this was the one thing I wanted to do for myself as I saved the money and truly transformed myself into my dream body. Here’s where I need a little bit of advice
Questions

1. Am I the only person who is absolutely heartbroken at times, almost as if I am mourning the body I worked so hard for, for years? And does this make me a terrible person? I promise there are nights where I no longer feel beautiful and cry like there’s no tomorrow because of the changes happening to my body.
   
2. My partner is always sharing these beautiful women on his social media, (celebrities (music artist, gym babes) to be exact) but this truly makes me feel worse about my body they have these gorgeous bodies that I truly think I nearly idolized before my pregnancy am I emotional, over reacting, or is it completely normal to be upset and when I say upset I don’t mean mad I mean hurt by it because I know I will never look anything like that and my body now is going through so many changes and it’s hard for me to see the beauty in it.
   
3. I have been experiencing the worst “morning sickness” from almost all hours of the day nothing is helping and I am miserable I vomit all day long, I feel like I have no energy, it’s like having the flu headaches body aches hot flashes etc. anyone have any ideas on what might help ?
   
4. Is guilt normal? I feel guilty all the time for feeling like I complain all the time. Everyone tells me I should be enjoying this and embracing this journey and I am honestly not and it makes me feel like I am a bad person for that.
   
5. Anything a new young mother should know especially when bringing twins into this world ANYTHING at all I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today and just need advice.
   

I’ve recently been getting lots of cheating vids on my TikTok feed and couple of days ago my gf just cried out of no where…
I kept asking why and she explains it’s bc she felt fat. She has issues with her body image and is no where near fat, her culture back home (Asia) has crazy unrealistic beauty standards so I figured that’s why she’s upset. We are in the USA so I tell her how she’s really underweight if anything. Then she also said yesterday that she cried at work bc the work was starting to build up. I told her to tell the boss how she feels and tell them to F off basically.
I just can’t seem to figure out why she cried and asked me if u still loved her and keep getting cheating vids on TikTok. Am I just worrying about nothing? How should I find out for sure?

Hey there, DMs and DM-adjacents. Need some help with ideas for an upcoming large encounter that will culminate the first arc of a campaign.
Essentially, the starting town the party has ingratiated themselves to is going to be attacked by a rogue military force from a nearby city who are actually cultists dedicated to a lost god. A tale as old as time. They know this attack is coming in roughly a week.
The battle itself will take place on a large battlemap near the center of the town, with the perimeter being the chaotic “fray” of battle as the enemy forces tear through the town. The party will face the leader, his personal guard and some other large mobs. The “fray” allows me to keep things contained and also add in mobs as needed. There will be various win states, including holding out long enough for a massive allied force to rescue the situation (think Gandalf at the Battle of Helm’s Deep). However, the longer the fight goes on, the greater the possibility of townsfolk or key NPCs falling in battle will be.
I am running the lead-up to this fight as a period of downtime-type activity, similar to Blades in the Dark if you’re familiar with that, where they can decide what type of preparations they want to do in order to be ready for this attack.
The options are pretty open, but the things I expect them to do are:

• Recruit allies: They’ve made friendly relations with at least 3 factions (two town leaders and a bandit leader who wants to go straight) who could be convinced to aid in the battle.
• Train the town to defend itself: It’s a small town, but there are able-bodied members who could be conscripted to help out.
• Set traps: They could set up pit, spike or some other sorts of defenses around town.
• Recon: They could scout the camp, and learn more about what they’re up against and perhaps gain an advantage or try a preemptive strike.
• Shop: There is a traveling merchant I use as a gold sink who often has magical items and will be in town, so they could buy some items to help.

Those are just a few of the things that come to mind, but I need some ideas and help with other possibilities and/or how some of this could play out mechanically.
How would you run the potential recruitment of allies? What are the variations in aid they could provide? How would that play out in combat without being too cumbersome and slowing things down? What effect would the town having conscripts or traps have on the battle? What advantage could they gain from scouting the camp? What could I stock at the traveling merchant that could be useful? How can I, or even should I, limit what they can do in this downtime? Should there be a cost to limit them from getting all of the advantages?
Any thoughts, suggestions, help, advice, or encouragement is most welcome. Cheers and thanks!

[I posted the following on Quora as a response to Osho's "sources of inspiration". But I would love to hear feedback from those who, like me, fullly acknowledge his enlightenment, or those who thinkof him as justva rascal.]
Osho was a voracious reader his entire life (if somewhat shy of the “hundreds of thousands of books” that his disciple and editor Anand Mayapa has attributed to him having read). And Osho's own 647 books—all transcriptions from his Talks—align with the most profound insights of many realized masters. But the source of his primal insight, like the Buddha's, was not his encounter with anyone else's writings or presence. It was his own ongoing enlightenment experience that lead him to his core teaching:
whatever is, is, and each moment of perceived isness emerges from an unascertainable abyss.
In the myriad online videos, you can see him emerging from this unfathomable source, moment by blissful moment.
Although Osho's core teaching was not inspired by anyone, a lifetime of voracious reading found resonance with enlightened perspectives from a vast array of sources, covering a wide range of genres, from the Dao De Jing to Jonathan Living Seagull. Sometimes, he would find only a few lines to share, or even just one line, as with the Talmud's “God is not your uncle.” But texts reflecting his own enlightenment experience were commented on in full and exquisite detail. Two such texts that he said had particularly special resonance for him were the Isha Upanishad and Zen patriarch Sosan's Hsin Hsin Ming.
Osho summarized his reading life during experimental nitrous oxide sessions. The transcribed result—Books That I Have Loved—is a fascinating, ever-shifting, hierarchy of books that had meant the most to him. The nitrous oxide surely accounts for the perpetual reshuffling of so many “most beloved” books—books that he relates with the fervor of an intoxicant. He is most sober, tho, in his discriminating between which authors he believes are themselves enlightened and which are not. Of his near contemporaries, Gurdjieff gets his most respect, and also seems to have been a post-enlightenment inspiration as a rascal guru.
Though Osho mostly reserves his highest praise for enlightened, Eastern authors, he has ecstatic enthusiasm for Western authors as well, and not just the ones he considers enlightened--like Pythagoras and Heraclitus—but also the “near enlightened,” like Nietzsche, Kazantzakis, and Alan Watts. He is particularly enthusiastic about the French psychologist Hubert Benoit, and Tolstoy.
Of Benoit's Let Go he said:
"It should be on the bookshelf of every meditator. Nobody has written so scientifically and yet so poetically. It is a contradiction, but he has managed it. Hubert Benoit's Let Go is the best that has come out of the modern western world. It is the best book of the century as far as the West is concerned.”
And he offers up equal enthusiasm for Tolstoy's Resurrection, which he claimed “has been a bible to me.” Tolstoy is one of Osho's spiritual, but not enlightened, geniuses. Osho effusively praises War and Peace and Ana Karenina, but it was Tolstoy's lesser known Resurrection that he not only read many times, but carried around with him day after day like the “bible” he felt it to be, saying, “The four gospels…miss the the whole spirit of Jesus. Ressurection is far better.”
What is somehat ironic, tho, about Osho's comparative dismissal of the Gospels here is not only that Tolstoy begins the book with 4 quotations from them, but that the last of them, from Luke, may well convey the most relevant inspiration for Osho’s former, current, and future disciples:
“The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. “

I’ve called in sick the past 2 days because I’ve been super anxious and feeling lightheaded. I tried to go to work today and nearly passed out at the bus stop because my heart was racing so hard. I just walked back home. This is causing me even more anxiety because now I’m worried about my job and I feel guilty for calling out. I don’t know what to do. I really like my job and I don’t want this to be held against me. I made a doctors appointment but it takes months to see my psychiatrist. I’m so stressed about getting fired.

Hey guys, HS junior here again. I’ve been wondering whether or not I should start EMT and/or CNA training over the span of my senior year. I’ve been able to find some great programs near me and I’m interested in experiencing both jobs. Most of my senior friends who’ve done this have been enjoying it. I get that I’m still young, but would starting the process now not be better so I don’t have to do all of this training in college?
Thanks for reading guys!

I do not smoke, and i drink only occasionally.
Linked are a couple images of my teeth. I (25M) used to grind my teeth a lot. Honestly I'm not sure if I still do, but my TMJ issues haven't been much a problem for me since sophomore year of HS so I kinda feel like I don't. I've been pretty stressed about my teeth lately though. I get bad sensitivity anytime I drink or eat anything acidic or sugary (and pretty much all alcohol). This gets me pretty depressed to be honest, I get anxiety over the health of my teeth and I feel left out when I see my friends able to drink and have a good time while I am scared about my teeth and just drinking water.
I am getting a mouthguard soon in case I do still grind. I'm wondering if there is any other hope for me? Can those holes I circled be fixed in any way? I bring up my sensitivity every time I am at the dentist, but they never seem to suggest anything other than Sensodyne? Is there any hope for technology in the near future that will be able to help teeth damaged in this way?
Is there a specific toothpaste that anyone would recommend for teeth worn down by grinding? Everything I read shows different types for different things. But none seem to mention bruxism.
Any advice would be appreciated.

My oldest is speech delayed but a combination of private speech therapy and special ed services (with IEP) have been doing wonders for helping him catch up. Unfortunately, his behavior is not catching up as fast as the rest of him. I'm trying to keep reminding myself that he has had a LOT of new stuff pitched at him in a very short amount of time and in that context it's really not that bad.
BUT.
But, I started trying to take all three of them to cub scouts (four year old twins and oldest, who's six) and while the twins are getting the hang of it and participating very quickly - we've attended twice so far - last night I had to chase the oldest around the scout hall constantly, including collaring him multiple times because despite being told not to, he kept trying to go outside by himself. He is SO disruptive. Not breaking stuff, not actively malicious, he just wants to do what he wants to do and currently doesn't care how that affects anything or anyone around him.
This means things like spinning in circles and running around during the flag ceremonies. Opening the bottom of a connect-four board to dump the pieces out in the middle of other kids' game. Not participating in duck-duck-goose so that I pulled him out of the circle but when his little brother was running as the goose, jumping in and jumping on the kid who goosed him. Not violently, nobody was hurt (and the kid in question was 14, thank god) but at the same time...
...I am just SO EMBARRASSED and struggling with my feelings and my frustration. On the one hand, making it very clear to him that this is NOT OKAY, on the other hand, trying to be compassionate because it's all so new to him, we just started kindergarten in February and that's not a long time.
But also? He still isn't potty trained despite my efforts. His teacher told me the other day, 'he tells us, "I don't wear underpants, I change my own pull-ups!" when he goes to the bathroom'. Very confident and almost bragging. Which a) is news to me since at home he still wants ME to wipe his butt, and b) proves to me that he KNOWS what the expectations are and is choosing to try to pursue his own course.
All this is weighing heavily on my mind so last night I emailed his speech therapist and his teacher to ask about OT services to work hard on getting him caught up on following the social expectations because I don't want him going into first grade as a sort of lame 'separate-but-equal' situation. It hurts my heart so much.
And to top it off, this morning I got pulled aside in the school parking lot and politely asked to slow down when turning into the pre-k/k parking lot. They were nice about it but of course asked who my kids are so on top of everything else now my brain is flashing neon signs that there's going to be a note in a file and a strike against me somehow which will affect how the kids are regarded. I just need someone to tell me it's going to be okay. I can't talk to my husband about this because he will not understand why I'm so upset since I'm doing everything I can to get oldest the help he needs. (When we talked about it last night he started trying to tell me we should pull him out of school and homeschool him again - which DIDN'T WORK THE FIRST TIME and is why we have the setup we have now, AND it fell almost entirely on me the first time as it was.)
This is on top of some major medical and other life stress and my mom being out of the country for two weeks in a conflict zone right now. I'm overwhelmed and struggling.
