This question goes out to pharmacists who have experience with compounded medications or know about it.
For the same active ingredient, are topical solutions for that drug usually a lot cheaper than pills/capsules when getting them compounded?
The compound pharmacies in my area can't seem to give me a straight answer. Maybe they have a good reason idk. They say, I would need my doctor to send in the prescription first. I don't want to do that.
Thanks.

[REQ] ($200 USD ) - (#Minneapolis, MN, USA), ($225 Repay), (Paypal)

Post contents

First time borrower.
I start my new job at the Amazon warehouse on the 14th (pending drug test, but 100% sure I pass).However, I'm lacking money for groceries and transportation because I paid off my other debts for the month and miscalculated my finances overall.I'm unsure if Amazon pays weekly or biweekly, so I'd like to assume the latest repayment would be on the first Friday of October. Earliest would be the 24th.
Help would be appreciated.
EDIT (9/9/2021): My start date is 100% confirmed on September 14th. I can provide proof if needed.
EDIT (9/9/2021): I ended up getting a loan from a close friend. No longer in need of a loan (: Thank you for any inquiries though!

So I’ve 100% everything to the point where I’ve collected everything even went past the collection book and got all the extra pages that weren’t necessary and the extra treasures that weren’t in any way needed. Even spent the extra time to get level 114 gears for all 6 items. And all the “shiny Pokémon”
This is a list of some things that I think could’ve made this game a better experience imo. Some of these I found on my own and some are ideas I have seen others mention that I agree with and/or added my own thoughts on.

• No students/teachers in bed or rooms at night??

-Collecting field guide pages that can’t be viewed and give no extra lore or information. (Statues/dragon basins/mirrors etc) Essentially collecting them for the sake of the challenge feels pointless
-Gear score system (I have always disliked this game mechanic in ANY game) collecting 100s of random gear pieces that have nothing unique or special about them. Just for the sake of numbers. I wish I could have unique pieces of gear or equipment that actually meant something and have unique abilities/features to them.
-learning random spells from random teachers. It feels like you’re just learning any spell from anyone and not related to the field of magic they teach.
-Attending classes doesn’t really feel immersive or important. Like a lot of things in this game it feels really cool and special at first but the actual “going to classes” parts end very quickly and at the end you realize you’ve only gone to a total of like 10 or less classes.
-Ability to sell potions/ingredients. I honestly barely used some of them and I can’t loot new ones cause I’m already full on inventory and have no way to get rid of them without just using them all. If shops can sell then why can’t I? (ESPECIALLY when I literally have my OWN SHOP due to the dlc)
-Building on that last point the having your own shop quest feels pointless as you just get another vendor that buys your junk gear for 10% more which is quite insignificant. It doesn’t feel like I actually have a shop.
-More unique student relationships. And possibly relationships unique to what house you choose. The relationships present seem mostly weak. It doesn’t feel like I actually have any friends around.
-more unique story/quests/relationships based on house chosen. This would make replaying aLOT more worth it than just the one quest for each house.
-Actual house point/house cup being important with some kind of point system. Not just like Harry Potter where the main character Automatically wins like WTF. “MC gets 100 points for being awesome they win because..” come on. The old Harry Potter games managed to do this better.
-obviously quidditch
-romance options would be interesting in my opinion and another way to add replay value. (I know this can be controversial so I won’t elaborate further)
-QOL - being able to use buttons in menus instead of slow cursor. (Me just nitpicking)
-Ability to sleep and use furniture. Being able to actually use your common room and talk to friends or do other activities maybe add some mini games shit SOMETHING PLEASE. Common room feels pointless and empty.
-STEALTH - There’s a couple of missions with restricted areas that specifically teach you about stealth spells and avoiding prefects/professors that means completely NOTHING as you can just go anywhere whenever the hell you want after those couple quests. There is no stealth required afterwords unless you want to take out a camp quietly.
-Being able to just enter anyone’s home with alohomora whenever you please with absolutely no repercussions or even DIALOG.
-Alohomora mini game is repetitive
-WAYYYYYY tooo many Merlin trials like 25-30 would suffice.
-More ingredients/potions variety there are just too few, and make more useful.
-also more plants kind of same as last point
-items like wizard cards, chocolate frogs every flavor beans etc. (if it was invented at this time) stuff from zonkos shop. There’s alot of things in the wizarding world that are seemingly absent or just mentioned in a revelio page.
-More utility spells game is HEAVILY combat oriented
-the world outside hogwarts and hogsMeade is boring and a lot of copy paste. No interesting interactions. The world looks beautiful while you’re flying around but really there’s not a lot to do and mostly always doing the same thing clearing some camp open a chest for gear. I think the game could benefit from a smaller map and more focus to the main areas with the other stuff I mentioned.
-The leveling system - can’t reach level 40 (max) without doing EVERYTHING. Which isn’t fun after you did it once. So you’re not getting max unless you collect EVERYTHING AGAIN. You also can’t get All perks and have to sacrifice 12 a bit annoying. All exp is tied to the book/quests and not for actually defeating enemies or doing anything else.
I hope they add something in terms of DLC there’s no end game content. At the end your just collecting stuff.
I really enjoyed the game again these are just things I jotted down as I was playing as I’ve been excited for this game since I heard of it. My expectations are very high. Sorry some points might seem similar. And I’m sure I missed a few things.
Do you agree with anything? What are your thoughts on the game?

(Vague and brief descriptions of sexual activity, viewer discretion advised)
David took one more look through the window before shutting it. He couldn't have anyone see what was going on. Jack quickly tossed the bound individual through the door. They grunted out of annoyance as opposed to fear. Jack, almost appearing scared, flung the key David gave him to the side and slammed the door.
“Congratulations, you're out of the dog house.” David grinned, calmly walking to the keys, bending down to be at eye level with the individual on the floor. Their look was more neutral than expected, but a tangible spark of malice was present.
“Aw, what's wrong? Don't like being on the floor? I thought you were used to that.” David remarked with forced doe eyes. The person looked away, trying not to engage with the brunette. David dragged them across the ground, sitting them on the couch. They began growling through their cloth gag, gradually wetting it with spit as David stood across from them with the world’s most condescending smile.
“I'd like to say that it's good to see you again, but we both know that would be a lie. I don't have many strong feelings for you, which I think goes for everyone in your life.” He chuckled, leaning towards them to remove their gag. As soon as it was removed they attempted to bite him, though he saw this coming and backed up.
“Ugh, why the fuck did you bring me here?” they spat, wriggling in their restraints.
“I brought you here to clean you up before we meet with Zander again. He's forced me into a deal where I return you so my info won't be leaked.” They rolled their eyes whilst groaning loudly, confusing David.
“Goodness, for someone who’s escaping captivity and torture, you sure aren't very grateful,” David remarked while pulling out a comb from a cloth bag.
“Because I'm not escaping shit! You're the one choosing to get me out of my situation, I don't even get the dignity of leaving because of my efforts!” David took out a folded pink blouse and set it on the table between him and his captive.
“I understand how that can be frustrating if I was in your situation, which I never would be since I would have escaped months ago. I'd be pissed at someone playing doll house with my life too. But that's the thing if you were truly as capable as you claim to be you wouldn't have to wait for my interference.” David walked off to the small kitchen connected to the living room, not paying attention to the specific ways his victim’s hands were moving.
“Please, until you're in my position you can't say that you'd handle it better than me. You can make as many flimsy predictions as you want, but the moment you step into my world your scenarios won't reflect shit.” David shrugged, pulling out a half-empty cup of iced coffee.
“I'd argue against that but I won’t bother since I know you won't listen. I could explain my reasoning in a myriad of ways and you’d still block it out.” The bound individual scoffed.
“Like your one to talk about listening to others. Last I checked, you're the one who's been trying to fix the same milk toast guy since high school no matter how many people tell you it's a waste of time.” David didn't respond, taking a sip of his drink.
“Yeah that made you shut your trap fast didn't it?”
David set his beverage on the table and approached his captive. Joining them on the couch in uncomfortable proximity.
“For a moment yes, but only because I needed a second to word what I'm about to say in a way you’d understand.” he smiled to the chagrin of the captive.
“Zander isn't some random former classmate, I selected him in the same way a breeder selects a dog. I evaluated many others before choosing him. To people like you, my pursuit appears meaningless since you aren't gaining the knowledge I am. If you knew what I knew, you wouldn't be able to resist going further either. I've seen into the mind of this man further than he has. I've run my hands over every inch of his psyche and molded him into a silhouette even closer to my affection. Ideally, I’d create the perfect entity and we'd repeat the process together on another, but I no longer have the time for that.” The bound individual stared dumbfounded. Taking a breath before replying, needing a moment to process the mountain of words that had been thrown at them.
“Wow, you must be the most talented gymnast on the planet for all the mental gymnastics you just did,” they stated bluntly.
“I gotta give you credit, that's the most sensible explanation someone could give for this. Not that it’s saying much since this is completely delusional.” David rolled his eyes, pulling out a pair of light jeans from the same bag as the blouse. The captive looked down at the completed outfit with disgust.
“Well, I described it in the most digestible way I could, but I suppose that doesn't matter since you don't want to give what I've said serious thought. Regardless, I still need to make you look presentable for this exchange. I assume you wouldn’t want me to dress you so I'll untie you and allow you to do it yourself, but don't try to run off because trust me I’ve prepared for that.” They looked down at the garments with disdain. David observed their expression further, there was a hint of sadness. He found it odd at first but soon understood what was wrong.
“I know it's stupid but do you have anything else I can wear? This stuff feels wrong to me.” They commented as David untied their wrists.
“I don't have a lot of masculine clothes in my wardrobe that I think you'd like but I can look. I know that this outfit doesn't reflect your current self but it's what I was provided.” The captive rubbed their wrists and began to free their ankles.
“It’s alright, honestly I didn't expect you to do anything especially after I insulted your logic, so this is a nice surprise.” They said, spreading their legs so they could sit more comfortably.
“I understand the importance of gender affirming clothing, you deserve to wear something that represents you.” Their eyes widened upon hearing the mention of their gender.
“W-wait you know about my identity?!” they asked defensively.
“Yes, and don't worry, I respect it. Jack filled me in on everything involving your gender identity including that your current pronouns are they/them and that your preferred name is Mad Dog. Though even if he didn't make me aware of that, I would have asked about it upon seeing your masculine appearance. Your completely flat chest and stubble didn't go unnoticed by me.” They calmed down, loosening their posture.
“Oh wow, alright, I didn't expect you to take that so well. A lot of people don't understand and just right me off. So I sort of expected the same from you.” David frowned while approaching them.
“That’s unfortunate, I know you have little reason to trust me, but at least trust that I won't purposely misgender or use the wrong name for you.” The feminine individual’s understanding in tandem with his appearance made Mad Dog have questions.
“Alright I trust you with that and it's appreciated but I have to ask. Do you see yourself as something that isn’t male?” David sighed, folding his arms and glancing at the floor.
“I don’t express it to anyone apart from Jack and Jackson, but yes. I see myself as a woman and feel most comfortable when I’m perceived as such. IIt’s been hard since Sophie has actively punished me for being the way I am. Even setting my injectable hormones on fire in front of me” Despite Mad Dog’s heavy dislike of the woman they couldn't help but feel sympathy for her in this instance. For a moment they were even tempted to say sorry, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
“Well you're out to me, and I’ll respect your identity as well. You might be a bitch but you still deserve to be addressed correctly.” She laughed, unfolding her arms.
“Hehe, thank you, Mad Dog, now help me get you something to wear.” She responded in a lighter tone than earlier. They followed her into her bedroom as she looked through her suitcase.
“Hmmm, I have a purple button-up, would you like that? I don't think my jeans will fit you well since your legs are noticeably thinner than mine, but you can try them on if you'd like.” They looked around the room as she spoke, as they expected, it was rather barren. They knew that David didn't stay in one place for long so it made sense that she never got time to settle in.
“Were you listening?” she asked, appearing at their side with the dress shirt in hand. They flinched at her sudden appearance, shifting their gaze to the item.
“Oh, nah I'm good just wearing my pants, even though they could probably use a wash.” They rubbed the back of their head, the grease in their hair becoming prevalent as they pulled their hand away.
“You could use a wash too, the stench that surrounds you is quite dreadful. If I was going off scent alone I would really think that you're a stray dog.” She joked, tossing the shirt back onto her bed.
“I'd like to say you're wrong but unfortunately you're spot on,” they responded putting their hands up, she giggled at the gesture.
“I’ll take you to the restroom and let you know what stuff you're allowed to use. I might be feeling merciful but I don't want you using my good shampoo. I won't see you after tonight but I live with my curls every day.” she remarked, poking her textured hair for emphasis.
“Heh, you know I’m starting to get why so many people fall for you. You’re pretty charming when you want to be. With a face like that, I'd almost call you cute.” She was suspicious of the partial compliment, questioning the motive behind it.”
“Awe, you're such a sweetheart, giving me half a compliment after I've shown you kindness.” she crouched slightly and patted her legs.
“Do you want a treat for doing the bare minimum?” She mocked. Mad Dog’s face turned sour in response.
“Ugh, I take it back, guess you can't take a win unless it goes in the exact way you want.” She adjusted her position and shrugged.
“In my eyes, the less you have to compromise the greater the victory.” Before Mad Dog could respond she started walking to the restroom, motioning for them to come along. Once they were inside, David hung up a fresh towel and opened the shower door. Turning the knob clockwise while describing how to adjust the temperature.
“See that 3 in one bottle? That's what I’ll have you use, I’ve never touched the stuff but I keep it as a last resort.” Mad Dog watched her as she explained everything, her body language was relaxed and inviting. Seeing her in such a mundane situation was fascinating. They wondered how someone like her could appear so normal.
“That's good with me, I'm not picky about that kind of thing,” they spoke, removing their raggedy shirt. Her eyes widened at the sight of their nipple piercings and tapered abdominal hair. They smiled at her expression, she looked at them with an embarrassment they couldn't have pictured on her face.
“Jeez calm down lady, I know this isn't the first time you've seen nipple piercings.” they playfully winked, taking off their pants.
“I don't need to be calmed, trust me I've seen better. I’m just surprised by how comfortable you are.” Mad Dog removed their chest jewelry, a subtle smirk developing on their face.
“Nah, at this point my stomach is made of steel, it takes a lot to make me uneasy. Hell, you could see me with my whole cock out and I wouldn't care!” they jested, setting the metal pieces on the countertop. David was taken aback by the crude comment, awkwardly looking away.
“Oh, alright then, anyway I’ll let you get clean. Just don't take too long. Also, the blue washcloth is mine, use the red one.” She responded, trying to hold her composure after Mad Dog’s words painted a strange picture in her mind.
“Heh, I'll make sure to remember that and don't worry about me taking long, I've practically been conditioned into taking short showers.” David nodded, leaving them alone to tidy up. When the door was closed, the woman took a deep breath. Things with Zander were coming to an end whether she liked it or not. She flopped on her couch, allowing the festering dread inside her to take hold. She’d been bottling it up for those around her, but she couldn't take it anymore.
“This is it,” she told herself quietly, staring up at the off-white ceiling.
From the moment she got Sophie’s message about Zander needing to die, cracks began to form.
She couldn't be weak in front of Zander, especially not during their final showdown. She couldn't cry in front of him, she couldn't show how much she’d miss him, she couldn't hold him, she couldn't ask him what he thinks she should do after the game is over. The more she thought about the upcoming meeting the more she dreaded it. Whatever she’d say to him would be heavily condensed and sanitized, which hurt her in a way she couldn't explain. David put her hand in between the couch cushions to retrieve her lucky shirt. A striped tee she'd stolen from Zander’s room towards the beginning of the dare.
“I wish I could be weak around you, you don't understand how much I want to weep into you.” she shakily stated, hugging the cloth.
“I wanted things to end differently, I truly did, but I don't have a choice.” Tears began to develop in her eyes.
“You were so close to reaching me, the way you used your audience was impeccable! If given just a year or so more to live we could have finally been on the same level. Acknowledging the demented elements intrinsic to each other, but still finding happiness.” Water flowed from her eyes as she clung to the clothing item.
“It’s no use though, you’ll be gone before I can even explain any of this. Fuck, I wish I could just have a real conversation with you!” she threw the shirt to the ground, almost throwing herself off the couch along with it. Despite all the time she’d spent with him, she felt like she’d never spoken to him as herself. Come to think of it, she never spoke to anyone as her authentic self. Despite multiple people claiming to have strong feelings about her, in reality, they only felt that way about a fraction of her or a character she’d played. Once Zander was gone, she’d lose the closest thing to a genuine connection.
“No, no, no,” she sobbed, it was all crashing around her. Images of the things she’d done up to this point overlapped in her mind. Highlighting how much she’d put herself through to get to where she is. Years of planning, multiple human lives, all sacrificed for nothing. Each heinous act she’d taken part in was now a meaningless act of violence, making her no better than a bloodthirsty monster. She was content with being morally in the wrong, but she couldn't bear her efforts lacking purpose.
The faint noise of pouring water dissipated as she curled into a ball. She ignored it, sinking further into her sorrow. Zander had told her that she'd need to meet him at a particular time, but at this point, she’d lost track.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Mad Dog rudely asked, kneeling before her with a towel tightly wrapped around their waist. She slowly turned to face them with a distraught expression. Barely processing their presence in the midst of her breakdown.
“These walls ain't that thick, I heard what you were weeping about.” She was upset with their insensitivity but didn't have the energy to respond.
“You’ve done nothing but destroy this man’s life and now that he can finally be free from the hell you’ve created, you're having a hissy fit!” they chastised, with more vitriol than she’d ever heard from them.
“At this point death is a sweet release! If you had even a shred of sanity or real feeling you’d be happy for him!” Her face scrunched up further, she was not equipped to handle their words. She just wanted to process in peace, but they wouldn't let that happen.
“God lady, why the fuck are you breaking down over this?!” they yelled at her, it was too much and she screamed throwing a pillow at their stomach.
“BECAUSE I CAN’T HAVE THIS ALL BE FOR NOTHING!” she shot up and pulled them closer to her by their hair.
“I CAN’T HAVE THE PAST SEVEN YEARS OF MY LIFE BE USELESS! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M GOING TO DO AFTER THIS, SO AT THE VERY LEAST I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROPERLY FINISH THIS! ” she screamed out, spitting into their face. They stared dumbfounded at her as she relinquished her grip. They’d heard about how skilled she was at faking feelings, but they could tell this was real. Regardless, they had little sympathy for her.
“There you go, admit what we both knew. You only care about him dying cause it's not what you’d envisioned in your sick little fantasy. All this pseudo-psychological bullshit is just an excuse to disguise what you actually are. A soulless sadist who doesn't have anything to her outside of fucked up games!” She sobbed, putting her hands over her face to catch her tears.
“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO GO THROUGH LIFE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE AND FEEL CONSTANTLY ALONE!” she screamed, a hint of venom developing in her tone.
“That’s how I have to interact with people! I can't feel them so I have to analyze and try my best to find joy! It's no secret I'm fucked up, but this is just how I function.” She responded, gaining some more composure. Mad Dog held back a smile when staring at her reddish face. Seeing the usually confident woman weakened satisfied them in multiple ways. Prompting them to continue prodding at her.
“You're still selfish for mourning experiences instead of people. Only giving a shit cause of what you can no longer get out of them.” David’s expression was grim as she gazed back at the long-haired individual.
“I never said I wasn't, besides you do realize that everyone mourns people for experiences right? Just like you’ll be upset that you can't spend time with a family member once they’re gone, I’ll be sad I won't be able to spend time with Zander. My relationship with him is not healthy by traditional standards, hell it's hardly a relationship at this point. But I’ll still miss the time we spent, and sulk over what was taken.” Mad Dog calmed their stance, sitting down at the edge of the couch. Their legs dangled near hers since they were facing toward her.
“You along with most people hate that I can't express real emotions, but when I finally do you get hyper-critical of my reasoning? I’m not asking for sympathy, I'm just asking to be allowed to feel. I don't think you’ll ever understand how crushing it is to sacrifice so much only to fail. Mad Dog, my mother is dead, I gave up the last of my family for this.” They looked down at her, the gleam in her eyes pulled at their heartstrings, a mix of sadism and empathy kicking in. On one hand, they did feel sad seeing someone in such a state, on the other, it was David King. A woman who had set them on a dark path by allowing Sophie to keep them captive. A woman with little respect for them, evidenced by her using them as a bargaining chip with Zander. In that instant, the desire to comfort was matched with the desire to humiliate.
“Okay, that was a pretty good act, you got me a little there honestly. Now, what do you want?” They inquired with a notable drawl.
“If you insist on staying, can I lay with you? I get that it's weird especially since you aren’t dressed yet, so it's fine if you don’t. I just need the feeling of being held” she requested quietly, with her knees to her chest. For Mad Dog, it was hard to say no when she, in their opinion, looked so pathetic. Secretly, they thought her desperation was attractive. So now that she was expressing the need to be touched, they took advantage of the opportunity.
“That's a lot of words to ask for a hug.” They kidded, making her crack a modest smile.
“But yeah, I can do that, at the very least you'll smell better than the last person I laid with,” they commented, trying to sound wholesome to hide their true intentions.
“And who was that?” she questioned, a slightly warmer tone emerging. They picked her up, throwing her over their shoulder. Enjoying the feeling of grabbing her. She was a bit heavy but they didn't complain.
“Hate to break it to you, but Zander, bro gets sweaty as hell during summer nights, meanwhile I have a high tolerance for heat. It was pretty awkward.” She scoffed, tugging on a bit of their wet hair.
“Ah, alright sorry for bringing him up. I know this ain't the time.” They opened the door to her bedroom and dropped her on the bed. The landing was a bit harsh but the plush of the mattress made up for it. The woman got under her comforter and Mad Dog joined her, wrapping their arms around her waist. Their damp body was cold but she didn't care, she just wanted to be held. They gradually got warmer as they stayed by her side and shifted their position. She was still crying as they cuddled her.
“Hey, it'll be okay, you're a skilled lady, you'll land on your feet,” they assured her as her body shook. Her heavy breaths were apparent, she was making them out of distress, but they triggered inappropriate images in Mad Dog’s mind.
“A woman as beautiful as you could probably start modeling.” they complimented, the words catching the woman’s attention.
“Really?” she asked softly,
“Of course! If I didn't know better, I'd start spoiling you the moment we lock eyes,” they playfully answered, wrapping their arms around her waist. She turned to face them, there was a shift in their demeanor. The way they spoke was almost sensual.
“You’ve spent a lot of time working, I say you just become a sugar baby. You're one of the few people in this ugly-ass world who’s hot enough for some rich dude to shower you with gifts.” they partly kidded, moving their arms up to rub her shoulders. At this point, she knew what they were doing. Still, she chose to hold off her comment since she was a sucker for praise.
“Thank you Mad Dog,” she replied, she was no longer crying, which Mad Dog had mixed feelings on.
“Hey, I want to apologize for what I said earlier, I should have left you alone. You deserve better treatment than that and I’ll make an effort to make it up to you.” They smiled, moving their arms to her lower back. Despite the sweet words, their tone was audibly sleazy. It was clear to David what they were holding back.
“Do you think I’m pretty?” she asked innocently, they took a deep breath before responding.
“Are you kidding me? You're so much more than pretty. You're smart, determined, focused, brave, and yeah, pretty sexy.” She smiled smugly, a distinct sheen appearing in her eyes. Confusion overcame Mad Dog as she began giggling.
“What, not used to hearing me say sexy?” The woman’s giggles soon grew into cackling. Mad Dog looked away from her, taking it as a reminder of her insanity.
“Hahaha! I’m sorry, I just think it's so funny that you're blunt about everything, but when it comes to this you feel the need to ease me in! You're so quick to say what’s on your mind, but now you’re trying to be a charmer. It's simply hilarious!” They let go of her and sat themselves up, though her position remained the same.
“What the hell are you talking about? I’m not trying anything, what led me to this point is simple. I made you feel worse when you were crying, felt guilty about it, and agreed to give you sympathy snuggles. That’s it!” Her expression turned serious as she twirled a strand of their long hair.
“You're not good at subtlety, I understand your entire scumbag strategy. First, you’ll try to break down my self-esteem by saying my feelings aren't valid. Second, you’ll swoop in and shower me with compliments so I’ll warm up to you. Lastly, you’ll apologize so you can look like a good guy and convince me to sleep with you. I might be vulnerable but I’m not stupid.” They rubbed their temples, looking down at her with a newfound resentment.
“Okay fine, maybe I saw that you were feeling down and took advantage of the situation. But it's not malicious, it's something to cheer you up. I think it would be a nice experience to take your mind off things. Not much room to use your brain when you're giving it right?” She cringed at their joke.
“Don’t waste my time with these lovey-dovey lies if you just want to get your rocks off. I get it, you think you’ll be such a badass for shoving your dick in the thing that ruined your life.” She pulled the blanket down, exposing the lower half of their body.
“You're a shithead, but honestly, I’ve slept with people worse than you. I’ll do this, but only because I want to see how long your weak ass will last with me.” She pulled off their towel and crawled to the lower half of the bed, pressing her head against their crotch. Mad Dog took a deep breath before she started stroking their genitals. The first few minutes were pleasurable but awkward.
They thought they’d feel strong having such a feared, well-respected woman sleep with them, but they didn't. Sure, physically it was stimulating, especially since this was the first time they were intimate since their bottom surgery, but outside of the catharsis that came with that, it was a rather dull experience. They thought she’d have a lot more energy than she did. David felt entirely neutral, it wasn't awful but there was no chemistry present. She could tell they were disappointed, which added to her annoyance. In truth, she was only doing this because she doubted that she’d get the opportunity to sleep with someone for a while. She never stayed anywhere long enough to form a relationship and her options were limited as a trans woman. There was a hint of additional bitterness knowing that Mad Dog had been in a relationship with Zander.
Why did they get to go on fun movie dates and hang out with his friends? She’d kill to have one more positive interaction with him. He was vanilla personified, which is what she loved about him. He was so malleable, just a couple of well-mixed ingredients and he’d be something entirely new. Still, the base of his identity was endearing enough on its own. The more she thought about him the more she wished she was being intimate with him instead. She never thought of him in a lewd manner before, but the idea was beginning to sound enticing. She knew he didn't have long, so wouldn't it be nice to pleasure him before his inevitable loss? It was morbid, but it was preferable to reality.
“God I miss you~” she murmured with her eyes shut as she thought of him. Mad Dog looked down at her with confusion. She laid on her back and pulled them in deeper, they shivered from the feeling.
She could picture it clearly, him gazing at her with a mixture of arousal and disgust. An ounce of frustration let out with each movement. The conflicting thoughts that would run through his mind were already enough to motivate her. It was such an intriguing prospect that she began to yearn for it. Almost entirely blocking Mad Dog’s presence from her mind, imagining her favorite little purebred instead. Mad Dog didn't know why she suddenly became so passionate but it didn't matter to them. They were getting a better experience so the reasoning was irrelevant in their eyes. The long-haired individual got harsher as they continued, getting animalistic with how they handled her. She said some strange things that didn't apply to them but it was easy to ignore in their lustful pride-infused haze. The bigger the reaction, the more successful they felt. Though, in the end, they had run out of stamina faster than her.
“Oh fuck, we did it.” they huffed, laying down in a sweaty heap. She got off them, stretching her back. Her bottom was sore, the fresh bite marks stung, and her skin was still reddish in certain areas.
“You're lucky I wasn't thinking about you, or else this would have ended a lot faster.” she snarled, hopping off the bed. They smirked, as unflattering as it was to admit, this was the best time they’d ever had.
“Yeah whatever, I put in work, and it paid off, so you could be picturing my ex for all I care.” they laughed weakly, coughing midway through.
“Good to know, 'cause that’s exactly who was on my mind,” she responded smugly, knowing it would upset them. Their laughter stopped, turning into a disappointed groan.
“Fuck lady, you seriously can't get this guy out of your head for a millisecond.” they chastised, she looked back at them while pulling a teal dress out of a bag.
“I’m not sure if you have the right to complain since you're the one who tried to emotionally break me down so I’d let you fuck me.” they darted their eyes away with a hint of guilt.
“Thanks to you both of us will probably arrive half an hour late, now get dressed.” she sternly commanded, her voice displaying the power they wish they’d gained from the experience long term. They got their clothes back on while she ironed her dress. Once the wrinkles were out she went into the bathroom to wash the smell of sex away. Mad Dog sat on the couch and flicked on the TV while waiting for her. As they channel surfed fatigue settled in, making them drift off to sleep.
In their slumber, they relived the day they met David. Up until this point they’d heard of her but had never interacted with her. When she came into their holding cell she appeared soulless, an unfeeling machine disguised as a human. Anger clouded over them when they saw her. If they weren't chained up, they would have lunged and bitten her face off like a rabid dog. Not because they hated her, but because they hated that she put them in such an inferior position. Throughout their life, they were forced to be a victim in many regards. So being the kidnapped love interest in a cage was the last straw. From that day onward, they promised themselves that they’d do something to assert power over her when she was at her weakest.
“Anything you want to say to me?” David asked, wrapping duct tape around their wrists. They jolted up, peering down to find that their ankles had gotten the same treatment.
“Oh, shit, we’re leaving now?” They asked sleepily, meeting her gaze again. She was wearing sleek dark makeup that complimented every one of her facial features. They were surprised by the elegance that radiated from her.
“Yes we are, and I’ll have to tape your mouth soon so if you have anything to say you have to say it now.” they frowned, there were a lot of things they wanted to say. They’d experienced so much emotional whiplash with her that it was hard to condense their thoughts into a few parting words. She rolled more tape, attempting to apply it to their face.
“Wait, I have something! They yelled, causing her to abruptly jerk her hands away.
“When this is over you should start focusing on yourself. Not Sophie, not psychology, not any crazy dares. I think your main issue is that you build your life around achieving goals or getting answers to questions that apply to others. If you spent some quality time finding yourself, I think you could not only be a better person but happier overall too.” She was speechless, she hadn't expected something so profound from them. The words cut deep, making her realize how little she knew about herself. Maybe that was the core reason why she didn't want to be alone, ‘cause if she was, then she wouldn't even have herself to keep her company. She fell into a slight haze while taking in their words, snapping back to reality when the roll of tape fell out of her hand.
“Oh shit,” she murmured, bending over to grab it. Mad Dog smiled at her moment of clumsiness, wishing they’d gotten to know that stripped-back, human version of the woman more. David ripped off the piece she first unraveled, applying it to Mad Dog’s cheek with embarrassment upon realizing how short it was. They let out a final snicker, finding her mundane error to be the most endearing thing they’d seen from her. David sighed while wrapping the multiple layers of duct tape around their head. Soon their face was replaced by a gray adhesive cocoon, with nothing more than their hickory brown eyes visible. Gazing into her reflection in their sclera, she uttered her final words to them.
“This whole night has been a roller coaster, and while I can't call you a friend, I can thank you for the experience. You made me address issues that have been festering for years, something I didn't think anyone could do. I might not like you, but I don’t hate you either. If you know anything about me, you know I love seeing people develop their own type of strength, which you’ve done. So for that, I give well wishes, goodbye Mad Dog.”

Case details: https://floodlit.org/a/a595/
NOTE: FLOODLIT has *not* confirmed that the accused is an active Mormon. We know he was raised as an LDS church member and that he has multiple family members who have served LDS missions.
Quick summary: This week, a gymnastics club owner in Woods Cross, Utah was arrested and charged on suspicion of 40 felonies and misdemeanors related to allegations that he produced hours of hidden camera footage taken inside a bathroom and the boys locker room at his gymnastics facility.
News articles:

• KUTV
• Fox 13
• KSL News Radio

Please help us find out if this individual is currently an LDS member.
The alleged abuse didn't take place in a church or in a religious context. However, if the accused is active LDS, then this case may be highly relevant to discussions about the gift of discernment and other Mormon doctrines/practices.
If he's not, then knowing that can help us bring greater accuracy to conversations of this nature.
I sincerely hope nobody here knows anybody who may have been victimized in this case.
Thank you!

Head banging
I’ve a son who is 2 year and 2 months old. He’s been properly head banging for over a year. It’s continuous throughout the day. Not just when tired or angry. It would be me asking him to put on his coat, moving a toy etc. basic things and it’s a first reaction even through moments prior he would be happy.
I was a little concerned of autisim, and brought it up at health check but was basically told he is too young for referral and wait.
In terms of the head banging, I ignore the behaviour as I read when he started that fussing can encourage. If he’s having a tantrum I step in before it occurrs. However, he more so does it randomly without a whole big building episode. And he often is left with bumps, bruises and marks. He will do it anywhere, concrete etc.
He also has never liked soft toys. As a baby he carried around 2 toothbrushes. Since a year and a half to present he plays with hard plastic animals and they are carried everywhere and with every activity. He loves identical animal sets. But he does seem to play imaginatively.
He walked early and is incredibly smart. He’s using sentences of 6-7 words Atleast! His language is remarkably advanced, nursery etc can’t believe it.
In terms of food, he is incredibly picky. Even as infant he was. Won’t eat textures or foods that have multiple ingredients such as a pasta with sauce. His diet is extremely limited and I have tried everything and every tip.
Anyone experience anything similar with headbangimg ? Or does it sound true to anyone’s kids with autism? I don’t mind if it’s that, I just want to get intervention and frustratingly was basically told to piss off until he is older by the doc.

[REQ] ($300) - (#San Antonio, TX, USA) (Repay $375 on 09/03/2021) (PayPal)

Post contents

Hello! Unfortunately due to unexpected medical bills and missed days at work, I have fallen behind on a few things. Payroll is only processed twice a month where I work, so the repayment date is the next time I am paid. I am happy to verify source of income/past due statements/etc if needed. Thank you for your time!

Hi all - I was going to post this as an answer to another thread, but thought I'd put it as a separate one. I wrote this up for a friend a few weeks ago. It's incredible how much momentum the NA/Sober Curious movement has developed. There are countless resources and people who have been helpful to me - here's an attempt at synthesizing some of them. I tried to format - apologies if any of it got lost
Random Stuff * I'm not trying to proselytize at all! This is just a decision that I made. It's served me well for the [82] days that I've stopped drinking, but everyone is different! Just sharing my thoughts/some things I found useful. * There are a number of alcohol-free liquor stores that are opening up. One of them is called Spirited Away - website [here](www.spiritedaway.co). The About Us page is a brilliant piece of writing. There's no shortage of discussions out there on the alcohol-free life (that's the point of this email!), but he really touches on the central point: alcohol and social lives are so deeply intertwined, and not for good reason.
Books I tried to rank these in order of how much I liked them. This genre is called "Quit Lit", which I found funny. I've read a few more, but I put the top few here. I honestly suggest reading as many as of these as you can. As you'll really start to appreciate, the amount of marketing alcohol has gotten is immense. So to unravel some of those deep-rooted beliefs you may have towards, you just need to read a lot to counterbalance it. So read these books, check out social media channels (listed below), and search around on the Internet - it's a big movement.

• This Naked Mind (Annie Grace) This is the first book I read on the topic. I do think it's the best. It's a nice hybrid of (1) exploring the saturation of alcohol in modern life, (2) examining the cognitive pathways we've developed around drinking, (3) a personal exploration of the own author's experience with drinkings, and (4) presenting the science behind how bad alcohol is for you. The author takes a lot of inspiration from Allen Carr, who wrote a lot of books on addiction, including The Easy Way to Stop Drinking.
  
• The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober (Catherine Gray) This is more of a personal exploration (though it touches on the science a bit as well).
  
• We Are the Luckiest (Laura McKowen) Again, more of a personal exploration, but very, very positive in its tone and attitude. She actually JUST released a new book that I had preordered. It's on my table right now - I'll let you know if that ones good.
  
• Quit Like a Woman (Holly Whitaker) Don't be thrown by the title. Whitaker explains how a lot of modern sobriety movements (including AA) are rooted in white male culture, so she's trying to show alternative paths. I'll be honest - it can be a little off-putting (and she acknowledges that!). I almost stopped reading a couple times.
  

HOWEVER, I say stick with it. Her "bluntness" is actually also what hammers home her message. It's a nice contrast to some of the other books here - she does not try to portray ANY positive aspects of alcohol, so really helps with the rewiring of your beliefs towards them. She also sets forth the science behind in a very straightforward manner which helps.

• The Sober Diaries (Clare Pooley)
  
• The Sober Lust (Amanda Eyre Ward and Jardin Libaire) - very poetic and romantic examination of life
  

Other Helpful Reads/Channels

• "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker. This is about sleep generally, but he touches upon how alcohol affects are sleep (and how even half a drink has lasting effects on your sleep). Really opened my mind.
  
• The stopdrinking, sobercurious, and nabeer subreddits are all great. Stopdrinking seems to be the most active. The latter two are becoming more popular.
  
• I started following the #sober, #sobercurious, and #soberlife hashtags on instagram. There's some good stuff out there, and it's nice to see other "everyday" people going about the journey. In fact, I just followed a girl who stopped drinking on the exact same day as me - kind of cool!
  
• Absence Of Proof was started by a girl in Jan '22, and she's put on a few events. I'm going to another NA event organized by a different group on Thursday. I'm sure there are a few of them in [your city] if you do some sleuthing. One trick may be to look up non-alcoholic liquor stores in [your city] - they'll likely have events/tastings/etc. I saw on IG that there's a NA liquor store in Indianapolis, so it really seems like a nation-wide movement.
  

Personal "Tips"/Recs

• I tried to "moderate" for years. And it just wasn't working. It turns out there's a number of reasons why moderating very rarely works (as you'll read in the books above). That said, if you can set yourself a limit and stick to it, more power to you. For me, completely stopping was paradoxically much easier (and again, you'll see a number of reasons why).
• I'd personally recommend doing a full 30 days no booze. Some of the people above recommend a longer period, because the health benefits kick in after that, but I say start with 30, build the momentum, and then go from there.
• NA Beers have gotten really good. Some of them tasted "off" to me at first, but your tastebuds adjust quickly (and not just for alcohol - another side benefit of stopping drinking!). And I never knew of much of the calories came from the ethanol! I have yet to see an NA beer above 95 calories. A 12oz of a standard IPA is around 200... Some of my favs:
• Sam Adams - Just the Haze (for an IPA)
• Guinness 0 - tastes JUST like the real stuff
• Clausthaler Dry Hopped
• Athletic - hit or miss, happy to tell you the ones I like

Random: I'd recommend starting with a type of beer you don't really like the alcoholic version when you're starting. That way, you're not comparing it to a high-water mark. For instance, I like IPAs, and every NA IPA disappointed at first. For me, Heineken 0/Clausthalers were good at the start (since I never really drank lagers) - scratched the beer "itch" more easily while my taste buds were recalibrating.

• The alcohol-free version of liquors are still kinda meh, in my opinion. Kentucky 74 - tastes funky (I heard it's good to mix it with actual bourbon to cut down alcohol, but not a great full substitute). I got the ISH version of tequila - same thing, not great. So instead, I'd recommend the apertifs that don't try to be a liquor. My recs:
• Seedlip - this was one of the OGs. All 3 of them taste good and are super versatile.
• Three Spirits - Livener and Nightcap are both good. Nightcap is a good analogue for whiskey, if you're a fan.
• Get good mixers! Another thing the books above impressed on me - a lot of alcohol cravings are secretly just sugar cravings. I'm not saying start drinking a liter of Pepsi every night, but there are tons of good mixers out there. And a lot of the mixer start-ups are trying to make them healthier (lower sugar, better ingredients, etc.)
• Betty Buzz, Avec, Q Mixers - all very good.
• Hella makes great bitters. I have a few varieties of them - put them into a mocktail or mix them with any sparkling water you like. Adds some dimension. To that point, bitters and soda are a great NA drink to get when you go out. Another one people like is soda water, lime, splash of grenadine.
• Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher - delicious! Super refreshing too. They're not far off from a seltzer, so I alternate those with NA beers when I go out (otherwise, they get boring), but definitely very solid. Hoplark Hoppy Iced Tea is OK.
• I've tried De Soi and Kin in the functional beverages category. They're all right. I had to mix them with some of the mixers noted above, as they had a bit of a weird taste. I heard Hiyo is pretty good.
• When you go out, don't be afraid to bring some of these along with you. I'm not sure what [your city] is like, but it's fortunately fine to carry around a backpack in NY. I just take a bunch of these with me, so I'm now I'm set. Bars tend to have at least 1-2 NA beers on tap, and 1-2 NA cocktails on the menu. Bartenders seem to like the exercise of making an NA cocktail too. It's a limited sample size, but it seems like bartenders are in fact on the forefront of the NA movement! Whenever I order my "bitters and soda", I get a knowing smile, and it usually leads to a nice conversation.
• Honestly, in your first few weeks-months of stopping drinking, grant yourself the freedom to do whatever else you want. Studies show that we have a finite amount of willpower that we exhaust on a day-to-day basis. It'll probably take a big chunk of the that reserve as you stop drinking. So eat whatever you want! Buy whatever random thing that's been catching your eye for a bit! As you go longer, you build a habit, and won't rely on that willpower bank as much - but in those early days, show yourself some love and grace while you build this habit!

Let me know how things shake out for me. This is personally the best decision I've made in years, and the only regret is not cutting out the booze sooner! But like I said, everyone has their own life to live!

Hi Reddit! Wanted to get some thoughts on our 7 day Japan itinerary for this May. Group is 4 adults all around age 30 (2 couples). A few notes on our itinerary:

• We're theme park fans (lived in Orlando for a long while, used to work at theme parks, often plan trips around the US to visit theme parks) so our theme park days are non-negotiable:)
• The group is mostly interested in entertainment and food. We're also open to splitting up the group as needed to visit the things we're most interested in. We're happy to just stroll and explore, so you'll notice there aren't many specific "activities" on our plan yet.
• We'll be there from May 13-20.
• The only thing we have booked are our flights. We've narrowed down hotels and will be booking this weekend.
• You'll notice our plan to travel between cities often takes place at night; this seemed to make the most sense based on what we want to do.
• We're making the most of the time we have. We're going to be flexible on some things depending on how we're feeling. Also we recognize that we're not spending much time in Osaka or Kyoto - we absolutely wish we could spend more time in both! Hoping this is only our first trip of many and that we'll be back to Japan in the future.

With that, here's our (very rough) plan!

• Arrival Day - Tokyo (Saturday)
  • Arrive at HND by 2:30pm (separate incoming flights).
  • Check in to hotel, thinking city center or Akihabara areas.
  • Visit Akihabara in afternoon/evening.
• Day 1 - Tokyo/Osaka (Sunday)
  • Visit Asakusa in the morning - Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise-dori Street.
  • Mid-day in city center, trying to get a reservation at the Pokemon Cafe.
  • Late afternoon/early evening take train to Osaka.
  • Check in to hotel in Osaka (near Universal Studios).
• Day 2 - Osaka /Kyoto (Monday)
  • Spend day at Universal Studios. Planning to get express passes to get through everything quickly so we don't spend the entire day there, and going to skip rides that we have in the USA parks.
  • As time allows, might try to visit Osaka castle, but that's probably not likely based on our timeline.
  • In evening, take train to Kyoto.
  • Check in to hotel in Kyoto (location TBD).
• Day 3 - Kyoto/Tokyo (Tuesday)
  • Start day at Fishimi Inari Taisha.
  • Potentially do a mid-day food/culture tour in Gion area.
  • Visit Kiyomizu-dera.
  • In evening, take train back to Tokyo.
  • Check in to hotel at Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel.
• Day 4 - Tokyo (Wednesday)
  • Spend day at DisneySea.
  • That's it :)
• Day 5 - Tokyo (Thursday)
  • Spend day at Tokyo Disneyland (might swap and do disneyland the first day and disney sea the second).
  • In late afternoon/evening, leave Disney to head into Tokyo.
  • Check in to hotel - thinking we'll stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku.
• Day 6 - Tokyo (Friday)
  • Start day in Harajuku
  • Midday in Shibuya - Yoyogi Park, Imperial Palace East Garden, Disk Union Record Store, Mori Art Museum (just some ideas the group is interested in, may not hit them all)
  • End day in Shinjuku (depending on where we stay, likely will try to take a break at the hotel).
  • Same hotel as previous night.
• Day 7 - Tokyo/flight back home (Saturday)
  • The first flight of our group departs at 4:45 so planning to get to HND by 2pm.
  • Planning to make it an easy morning/early afternoon in the area we end up staying in.

Very eager to hear any thoughts/recommendations! This is a very rough plan - we want to know what we're missing, what we should cut, and any recommendations on the areas we've identified! Thanks so much!
