We said goodbye to my 20 year old cat Mabel this week. I adopted Mabel from a local rescue at 8yrs old when I was a 19 yr girl old in a new city. All she wanted for a loving home where she would receive round the clock cuddles. We bonded almost instantly. She was there for every moment, happy or sad for 12 years. She was adored not only by me but my friends and family. We had been treating her arthritis for a few years now but over the passed few weeks I knew she was nearing the end, I knew the signs and I knew Mabel. She deteriorated quicker than we expected over the past weekend but Cloud 9 Vets in the UK were true angels on earth. I always knew that I didn't want Mabel to pass at the clinic, the smells, the lights, the clinical setting of it all. It was just not what I wanted for her or for me. After spending every second with her, sleeping on the floor to make sure I could hand feed or water her in final hours, Cloud 9 Vets came out the day after I called and were able to quide me and help gift her the final gift of peace and rest. Mabel passed peacefully on my lap and all of her pain faded away as I pet her for the last time. My heart shattered into a million pieces and my partner and I still keep bursting into tears. I know I won't greive her forever but I'll miss her forever. She was truly the most gentlest, sweetest little cat you ever meet and I don't know what to do with all of the love I still have for her. She was my soul cat. Hug your kitties extra tight today for Mabel and kiss their noses. submitted by /u/peaches_peachs to r/cats [link] [comments]

#Context: Tarun Khatik’s Lynching, Silence and the Politics of Selective Outrage Source: https://x.com/politicalhindus/status/2030554843891593332?s=46 The killing of Tarun Khatik, a 25 year old Dalit Hindu from Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, has once again exposed a deeply uncomfortable and “peaceful” reality in India’s public discourse. Not just the brutality of the crime itself, but the selective outrage, selective activism and selective media attention that often follows such incidents. According to police reports and multiple media accounts, Tarun Khatik was mob lynched by Islamists during a violent confrontation triggered after a kid’s Holi balloon’s few drop allegedly spilled over and hit an unintended Muslim woman. The situation escalated rapidly due to her. A mob gathered, violence broke out, and later they planned and waited for Tarun, he was beaten with rods, stones and other objects. Delhi Police have arrested multiple accused in the case, including Mohammad Zahid, Mohammad Aslam, Nizam Ali, Sarabuddin, Rizwan, Mohammad Azaruddin, Mohammad Reyaz, Adil, June Salim Ansari and Fazil Raju Ansari, with one of the accused reported to be a juvenile. The case is being investigated under serious charges including murder. The Silence That Followed What followed the incident has been just as revealing as the crime itself. Despite the victim being a Dalit Hindu, the Dalit Supreme Prince and the PDA Tonti are silent as is rest of Indi! The case did not trigger the same scale of national outrage from Islamo Leli gangs that often accompanies similar crimes when the religious identities are reversed. Major opposition leaders, many self proclaimed Dalit activists and several prominent commentators on social media remain largely silent or use this incident to further their anti govt and divisive Hindu agendas. This silence and agenda driving reflects a pattern of selective activism, where tragedies are amplified or ignored depending on how well they fit prevailing political narratives for personal and political gains not just by opposition ecosystem but many big RW and pro Hindu handles as well. This perception has been reinforced by the limited attention given to the story by sections of mainstream media, despite the severity of the crime and the communal tensions surrounding it. Who Actually Showed Up? Another controversial aspect of the episode has been the criticism directed at groups such as Bajrang Dal and VHP, which were among the first orgs to reach the victim’s family and organise protests demanding justice. While they are frequently mocked in public discourse, particularly for incidents like Valentine’s Day moral policing, they often become the first responders in localised communal flashpoints where affected Hindu families feel abandoned by institutions. Whether one agrees with their methods or not, the ground reality in many such incidents is that these organisations are often the ones mobilising protests, providing local support and pushing authorities to take action. A Larger Historical Debate The deeper argument emerging from incidents like this touches on a long running debate about communal relations in India. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, in Pakistan or the Partition of India, observed that tensions between communities often stem from long historical patterns of mutual distrust and a desire to expand and prevail over everyone else by peacefuls. He wrote that the Muslim community historically developed a strong collective political consciousness, while the Hindu majority often remained socially fragmented. Nearly a century later, analysts argue that community mobilisation, identity politics, and competitive victimhood narratives continue to shape how communal incidents are interpreted in modern India. Retaliation and the Limits of Anger Following Tarun’s murder, reports emerged that angry locals set fire to the house of the accused. Even this retaliation, however, remained limited to property damage rather than mob violence against individuals involved in the murder. This reaction reflects a broader pattern of Hindu anger which erupts in short bursts, but still remains restrained by the expectation that the legal system will ultimately deliver justice. The Real Question India Must Confront The Tarun Khatik case is not just another law and order incident. It raises uncomfortable questions: Why do peaceful crimes become national causes while others fade quietly away? Why does RW/Hindu activism appear so inconsistent? And why do victims from certain communities seem to receive less attention in the national conversation? Until these questions are addressed honestly, India’s debates on communal harmony will continue to be shaped not only by peaceful violence itself, but by the perception of unequal outrage that follows it. Because justice, in the end, cannot depend on whose story is politically convenient to tell. submitted by /u/someonenoo to r/NewDelhi [link] [comments]

Game Information Game Title: Pokémon Pokopia Platforms: Nintendo Switch (Mar 5, 2026) Nintendo Switch 2 (Mar 5, 2026) Trailer: Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 88 average - 93% recommended - 30 reviews Critic Reviews CGMagazine - Chris De Hoog - 10 / 10 Despite how much I’ve played the main games in both Animal Crossing and Pokémon since the early/mid-2000s, I didn’t expect that both of Nintendo’s biggest time-sink franchises would meld together so well, and yet Pokémon Pokopia has just blasted off straight to the top of my list of favourite cozy games. COGconnected - James Paley - 86 / 100 Quote not yet available Daily Mirror - Aaron Potter - 4 / 5 Although there is a degree of repetition to be found in your actions from time to time, none of this dulls what is easily my favourite Pokemon spin-off in years. Dexerto - Zackerie Fairfax - 5 / 5 Pokemon Pokopia reimagines what it means to be a Pokemon, blending cozy building systems with open-ended creativity to deliver one of the most addictive gameplay loops the series has ever seen. Digitec Magazine - Domagoj Belancic - German - 5 / 5 Pokémon Pokopia reignited my fading love for the series. This cozy life sim shines with its unusual setting and mystery-filled world. Rebuilding abandoned ruins, attracting new Pokémon, and caring for them is deeply satisfying. Its surprisingly deep mechanics offer impressive freedom, whether I’m constructing homes, crafting items, or exploring alongside Pokémon companions. Packed with charm and attention to detail, it constantly evokes a sense of wonder and nostalgia. In short, Pokémon Pokopia is finally a truly great Pokémon game — and better than anything the mainline series has delivered in the past decade. Enternity.gr - Panagiotis Petropoulos - Greek - 9 / 10 As a life simulation game brimming with content, possibilities, and Pokémon, Pokémon Pokopia has what it takes to win over fans of the genre, regardless of whether they have ever been fans of this huge franchise. Eurogamer - Lottie Lynn - 4 / 5 Pokopia succeeds in capturing the spirit of Pokémon's past without sacrificing its uniqueness, as one of the best spin-offs the franchise has ever seen. Eurogamer.pt - Bruno Galvão - Portuguese - 5 / 5 Pokémon Pokopia is a charming and entertaining life simulation game in which you collaborate with various Pokémon to improve the desolate places you arrive at. Whether you're completing story objectives or simply rejuvenating locations, the hours fly by with immense sweetness and fun. Everyeye.it - Italian - 8.7 / 10 The choice to rely on "bricks" makes the gameplay and technical structure more manageable, while the artistic direction may not be to everyone's taste. However, if you love Pokémon and want to immerse yourself in a simple and satisfying experience, you'll discover that Pokopia is much more than a hybrid between Animal Crossing and Minecraft. GAMES.CH - Benjamin Braun - German - 91% Quote not yet available GAMINGbible - Kate Harrold - 10 / 10 This collaborative effort provides a welcomed change of pace for longtime fans of the franchise, whilst serving as an alternative for newcomers who don’t favour the series’ typical turn-based offering. The end result is charming, soothing, and oh so incredibly moreish. Pokémon Pokopia showcases the type of reinvention you want to see in a franchise’s 30th year. GamePro - Maximilian Franke - German - 80 / 100 Quote not yet available GameSpot - 9 / 10 Pokemon Pokopia gives you a massive amount to do and a story that propels you forward, while also letting you enjoy the simple pleasure of living among your Pokemon friends and building your perfect community. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface, and I can't wait to keep exploring. I'll get Squirtle back yet. GamesRadar+ - Sam Loveridge - 4.5 / 5 There's a surprising range to the ways the Pokemon can help you interact with the environment. Geeks & Com - Anthony Gravel - French - 8.5 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia reimagines the franchise as a cozy life-simulation on Nintendo Switch 2, where you play as a Ditto-turned-human tasked with restoring a barren world into a thriving Pokémon paradise. Its blend of exploration, habitat building, and character interactions creates a relaxed yet engaging gameplay loop that will appeal to fans of games like Animal Crossing. While the pace is intentionally slow and story elements take a back seat to creative freedom, the soothing presentation and charming systems make progression feel rewarding. Overall, Pokopia is a refreshing and imaginative spin-off that showcases a new direction for Pokémon’s sandbox experiences. Gfinity - Alister Kennedy - 10 / 10 Pokopia is a 2026 Game of the Year contender that masterfully blends the creative freedom of Minecraft with the cozy charm of Animal Crossing. By trading traditional battling for an addictive loop of habitat restoration and blueprint-based building, it offers a deeply rewarding new way to collect Pokémon. Glitched Africa - Marco Cocomello - 9 / 10 Pokemon Pokopia is one of the series’ best spinoffs to date, wrapped in nostalgia and charm, this is a love letter to fans and something you’ll sink hundreds of hours into. Hobby Consolas - Spanish - 87 / 100 Quote not available IGN - Rebekah Valentine - 9 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is an enjoyable, personality-packed building simulator set in a surprisingly deep world that is stuffed with fun things for its delightful Ditto protagonist to do and create. IGN Italy - Arturo Perrotta - Italian - 8.5 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is an adventure that manages to surprise and leave its mark, bringing back that sense of wonder and discovery that has always made the series so special. LevelUp - Spanish - 9 / 10 Pokémon puede ser cualquier cosa. La franquicia tiene tanto carisma y apela a perfiles tan diferentes, que puede adaptarse a juegos de cartas, experiencias de estrategia, parques de diversiones y hasta rockolas en forma de consola de videojuegos. A lo que quiero llegar es a que parece que el límite del potencial de Pokémon está […] Nintendo Blast - Renzo Raizer - Portuguese - 9 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is an excellent spin-off for the franchise. I found the vision the developer brought to our beloved monsters very interesting; an approach that suited them perfectly. All the mechanics mentioned above are what make the game excellent. I hope that, in the future, the game continues to expand and has a long lifespan. In management titles like this, it's entirely possible to extend the project's lifespan, as we saw in the case of Animal Crossing, which received updates for a long time while remaining relevant. Pokémon Pokopia is a game that both new and old fans of the franchise will love, becoming addicted to this new world of creation, revitalization, and exploration. Nintendo Life - Alana Hagues - 8 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is the freshest Pokémon experience in a long time, bursting at the seams with charm and content that rewards both curiosity and creativity. It's an easy game to get swallowed up in, even with a few gameplay and progression issues that need ironing out.But as a first go at something different for the franchise, it's a big win. I don't know how Pokémon has stayed away from this kind of structure for so long, and I'd easily take a dozen more. PPE.pl - Wojciech Gruszczyk - Polish - 9 / 10 Pokemon Pokopia is a surprisingly addictive spin-off that focuses on exploration, habitat building, and developing your own living Pokemon community instead of combat. The most fun comes from experimenting with ‘recipes’ for new environments, crafting, and terraforming, although over time the grind and the demands imposed by the tasks become more noticeable. If you're looking for a peaceful game in the style of Animal Crossing + Minecraft with a Pokémon skin, you've come to the right place – but you have to accept that it's a completely different experience than the classic instalments of the series. Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 8 / 10 A cozy and lively lifesim that sheds a different light on the series while also being geared towards everyone who enjoys Animal Crossing or Dragon Quest Builders. Less grind and better QoL features would've made for a smoother experience, though. Spaziogames - Italian - 9 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is a bold experiment that successfully blends multiple genres, resulting in a title with a very strong identity. While the main series has always been fueled by collecting and battling, here collecting remains, but combat gives way to management and reconstruction. There's no pressure. No performance anxiety. There's a world to rebuild patiently, one micro-habitat at a time. TheGamer - Stacey Henley - 3 / 5 As ever with Pokemon, there is enough charm to see it through, and the mechanics aren't shallow, even if they're used in aid of the same few tasks over and over again. It's Pokemon's take on a bunch of other villager games it's not quite as good at, but if you persevere there is a game waiting for you here. You just have to get the actual game over with first. TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 9 / 10 Pokémon Pokopia is almost exactly as cosy as we hoped. It's more active and goal-oriented than Animal Crossing, but there's still a laid-back, charming atmosphere to rebuilding the world and making it a new home for yourself and all the other Pokémon left behind. VGC - Jordan Middler - 5 / 5 Pokémon Pokopia is an excellent life simulation game that takes the best bits from the champions of the genre and evolves into something that Pokémon fans, and cozy game fans will love. Late-game grinding doesn't dull an adventure that's as full of discovery at 100 hours as it was at 1 Video Chums - Mary Billington - 9.1 / 10 Pokemon Pokopia delivers an adorably joyful experience that unfolds at your own pace and provides a canvas for unbridled creativity.

This was my first attempt at a burst fade. It feels more like a mullet to me but I thought it would look better with a less agressive fade in the back. Client asked to keep the fade low. Went from long slicked back to that so it was a full transformation. Any tips and tricks for similar haircuts in the future? submitted by /u/Hot_Macchiato to r/Barber [link] [comments]

No fundo as pessoas concordam, mas ficam com medo de parecer preconceituoso, mas não tem saída, é o que pensamos. Vi um post recentemente de alguém falando que o Mark Zuckerberg poderia se casar com alguém mais atraente porque ele tem dinheiro, e muito. A resposta mais popular foi que as mulheres "padrão" costumam se casar com jogador de futebol, então nesse caso temos um preconceito aceitável. Coloquei o Trump como exemplo, mas até mesmo alguém de esquerda que tem cabelo moderno geralmente consegue só cargo pequeno como vereador. Não passa uma vibe de relacionamento a longo prazo, a gente vê uma menina namorando um loiro pivete e fica em choque, achando que vai meter um filho e dar no pé. Claro que aparência não é tudo, mas é alguma coisa. submitted by /u/yves_taba to r/opiniaopopular [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/throwawaycrazymom10 My mother (52f) cheated and left me (27m) and our family to work in the adult industry and now wants to come back and "be my mom again" Originally posted to r/relationship_advice BoRU 1 Posted by u/Screaming-Harpy BoRU 2 TRIGGER WARNING: Child abandonment, neglect, deadbeat mom, harassment, job loss, use if the R slur Original Post June 7, 2021 Posting here because my therapist said it would be nice to get it off my chest.Please pardon me for the wall of text. And no I won't share any info or links so if any creep even suggests it you will get blocked. To give some context: My dad(67M) used to travel a lot to work and stay weeks away so he and my mother had an agreement where they had an open marriage (don't know the details but she was the only one that slept with other people), this happened to most of my childhood as I can remember her leaving at night to go to clubs and parties, sometimes taking days to come back and neglecting me and my brother (I learned how to get groceries and cook when I was 8 so me and my brother would not starve). When I was around 13, my parents started fighting since apparently she had broken the deal in some way, my dad found out about the neglect, and she started going into the adult industry. They separated and for years I had no contact with my mother, I sent her texts and emails, some that even popped up as she had seen it, but she never replied so one day I just gave up trying to contact her. I managed to stay in contact with some people from her side of the family but a lot of them began hating on us, saying that we were too harsh on her, that we never supported her, that she did well leaving us, and gradually I also cut contact with them as well. She started working in the adult industry and got pretty famous in my country, got a lot of money and I stopped using any NSFW websites as she was on the top pages of all of them, I gladly suffered zero to no bullying in high school because of it as there were no ways of connecting her to me and most of my friends that knew my mother didn't know it was her (she had dyed her hair, done a few surgeries and stuff). Well, I moved on with my life, joined the army and I'm pretty well now, however,, a year ago, out of nowhere she found me on social media and began to message me, asking how I was, commenting on how much I had grown up and trying to do some small talk. I just replied with one words and even stopped replying once my nerve got the best of me. Apparently, she has retired, and after feeling an "overwhelming remorse throughout her entire life" decided to contact us again, my brother was also careful but essentially accepted her back(he was always close to her), my father is cordial with her but only that. She has also asked her entire part of the family for help as I began being bombarded with messages and calls, from both those that criticized and supported me and my dad, I made it clear that I do not want anything with her but they just keep on it, saying that she is remorseful, that she did a mistake but wants to make it right, that she has come back for us, etc. More recently she somehow found out where I live and I been receiving random gifts at my doorstep with messages that we're clearly hers, things like a basket of chocolate that I liked when I was little, expensive clothes(she got my size wrong on all of them lol), flowers when my cat passed away, and even a very expensive hiking kit. I messaged her a few times to say that I don't want any of that but she just pretends she doesn't know what I'm talking about or just says she thought of me at that moment. I made it clear time and time again that I don't want anything to do with her but she still persists, saying that "she can be my mom again now" and stuff like that. I don'tt know what else to say so advises are more than welcome. TLDR: Mother cheated and decided to abandon the family to work in the adult industry, now she is trying to approach me again with gifts and messages but I don't want any relationship with her. RELEVANT COMMENTS** PixieOnAcid You are under no obligation to allow her back into your life. Block her again, and her family, and dump all of the gifts she gives you. Stop entertaining her attention. If she still will not stop, I'd honestly recommend going the legal route. Get a cease and desist letter sent out to her and her family, and if that doesn't stop it, go to the police to get her harassment on file so it'll be easier to file a police report/restraining order in the future. OOP I have donated or sent back all of the gifts already, unfortunately, cease and desist letters are not a thing in my country but I'm really thinking about filing a police report for harassment just don't know if they will accept since she never did it personally. ~ letskeepthiscivil12 It sounds like shes regretting what shes done and wants it back the way it was. But you shouldn't let this happen. Will just happen over and over again OOP She has indeed voiced that she regrets what she has done and I don't think it would happen again but she should know things would not get back the way it was, and honestly, if she thought it would she is even crazier because things were really bad before. Update 1 June 18, 2021 (11 days later) First I would like to thank everyone that commented giving me some comfort, advice, or letting me unwind on their dms, you all helped me a lot. I'm still trying to answer all of the comments and messages but with work and family craziness reaching new heights that might take some time but know that your words are very appreciated and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Well to start the update; I decided to have the moral high ground and take a more polite approach, I know many of you wanted me to just send her to hell on a message or letter but I thought this way would disarm much of her comebacks and maybe even make some of her family members shut up. I called her and asked her to meet me in a small cafe (no way I was meeting her in private), she got there and it looked like she had won the lottery, she had a smile from ear to ear and was almost jumping up and down but her smile did fade when she saw my face. She sat down and tried to do some small talk but I cut her off and began to rain on her parade. With all of the calm and patience I could gather I told her that no matter what she does or says there would be no way for her to "be my mom again". I started to explain that she was a complete stranger to me now, that I still had resentments, reminded her that I tried many times to stay in contact with her but she refused, and even stated that I'm no longer a child, I'm almost 30 so I kind of don't need a mom anymore (Had to hold myself not to say something like "A few years too late huh?"). I didn't even finish speaking when she burst into tears and began rambling about how sorry she was, that she was sorry for not seeing me grow up, sorry for ignoring me, that she would do anything for a second chance. She even told me that if her old work bothers me she could have it all taken down and pay for therapy if I wanted (Apparently she didn't know I'm in therapy ever since I was a teenager). I politely refused and since the conversation wasn't likely to progress I just left after asking her once more to not contact me again. A couple of hours later I was in the shower when my phone began exploding with calls and messages, she apparently once again told her family and once again they were cursing or trying to convince me. That showed me that some of the more radical comments on my last post were somewhat right and I decided to follow some of their advice. I swapped my phone number (also got a much better phone plan), cleaned my social media of any family members from her side, and told my lawyer to go forward with the restraining order (thanks to the last post I had it ready to go, thanks again everyone). She received the order a couple of days ago and immediately broke it by driving straight to my house to scream why I was doing that, I didn't come out and called the cops, thankfully they saw the restraining order and took her to the station for questioning (I was afraid they would ignore it or something but I'm glad I was wrong). I'm now stuck here, not sure with what I did was 100% right but at least I'm having some semblance of peace this last few days, she's still trying to send gifts but I'm going legal on that too. I'm honestly not sure if there will be any more updates after this but if it happens I'II post on my profile due to this subreddit rules but once again thanks everyone. TLDR: I decided to be polite and meet my mother face to face and tell her that was no way for her to "be my mother again" she said she understood but continued pushing so I went the legal route and served her a restraining order. Update 2 July 7, 2021 (3 weeks after last update) So I wasn't planning on posting any more updates but I lot of people have been messaging me and apparently, my post made into YouTube and it blew up and because of it even more people are pm so I guess I'II just write a quick one. My mother is now legally fighting me on the restraining order (I didn't even know that was a thing) and I'm trying to get more restraining orders for the more crazy members of her family (my lawyer told me to be cautious because if I request 20+ orders for all of her family I'II look like a madman and it will all be denied). She hasn't broken the restraining order again after the last time but the gifts continue to come and even intensified so I'm just donating all of them, although my childhood was pretty bad I can say that the amount of chocolate she sent me is making a lot of kids really happy now lol. And I'II say it again, I'M NOT REVEALING HER NAME! GO FIND PORN ELSEWHERE AND STOP MESSAGING ME! it's not even for her sake but because I don't wanna get doxed, anyone that sends any message like that will be blocked. To end this, I don't know if I'II post any more updates or how long they will be but if something happens I'II definitely tell you guys, once again thanks to everyone that helped me Update 3 Jan 26, 2025 (3 and a half years later) Hey there folks, yeah it has been a few years, Life has been a complete rollercoaster but with some people still sending DMs i figure i should at least try to make some updates. Now bear in mind it has been years so my memory might be spotty and all over the place, will try my best to make it chronological but it might turn into a mess. Right where I left off, well my mom had been pushy to the limit but at least with the restraining order she was keeping away, there were some incidents like when she showed up at my dad's house during a family dinner only for my dad's New gf at the time (Now wife) to open the door. She also showed up at my job asking for me (army), and one of my friends who was on guard duty scared her off with a shotgun, love those guys and they are pretty much the only thing I miss about the army. Well, Life was not going that well, kept being passed for promotions, my requests for officer school were always denied and to top it all off my gf at the time cheated and dumped me, so yeah, not Nice. Years went by and when I finally thought I would get an upstart in my promotion I got dismissed by the army along with a lot of other folks, suddenly with no job I had to go back to living with my dad for sometime while I tried to figure out what to do with my Life. The restraining order against my mom also expired so she came back with renewed vigor which did not help the situation at all. Theres a lot more so i should tackle it some other time. For now have a nice weekend folks. NEW UPDATE Update 4 Sept 2, 2025 Hi again folks, I honestly thought I would never make another post about all of this, but looks like someone reposted it in the bestredditposts or something, TikTok picked up and my DMs literally blew up. So for starters, my situation is a little bit better than a few moments ago, will likely finish college next year (being in the army has royally fucked up getting some classes time-wise, but let's see how it goes. Still got a metric fuckton of problems to solve, including trying to get money to end some debts so normal day to day stuff at least, and also no time for dating so my romantic life is dead and buried for the time being. On a more positive note, I had to change therapists but the new one is a specialist in treating families of "famous" people, I've been liking it a lot and they are very discreet, expensive but my old army buddy works there and got me in. Thanks again dude. Now for the elephant in the room, the situation with my mom is a rollercoaster but at least it's not crashing and burning. Most of the time she stays away and only sends texts and the occasional letter on special dates (xmas, birthdays, etc), sometimes she has pulled some crazy moves, mostly trying to sneak into family events I'm in, twice made a scene in front of my dad's house when she was drunk. Couldn't get the restraining order renewed since she toned down on the crazy contact attempts for the moment but who knows, hard to know when it's her. For now that's it, and for the retards still DMing me for her name fuck off, or better, I'II reveal for 2000 bucks! HA! Now fuck off. For the others that have sent me support and motivational messages, I'II always be grateful, even if I don't reply know I say thank you. As for now i think thats it, good year to everybody.

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/throwawaycrazymom10 My mother (52f) cheated and left me (27m) and our family to work in the adult industry and now wants to come back and "be my mom again" Originally posted to r/relationship_advice BoRU 1 Posted by u/Screaming-Harpy TRIGGER WARNING: Child abandonment, neglect, deadbeat mom, harassment, job loss Original Post June 7, 2021 Posting here because my therapist said it would be nice to get it off my chest.Please pardon me for the wall of text. And no I won't share any info or links so if any creep even suggests it you will get blocked. To give some context: My dad(67M) used to travel a lot to work and stay weeks away so he and my mother had an agreement where they had an open marriage (don't know the details but she was the only one that slept with other people), this happened to most of my childhood as I can remember her leaving at night to go to clubs and parties, sometimes taking days to come back and neglecting me and my brother (I learned how to get groceries and cook when I was 8 so me and my brother would not starve). When I was around 13, my parents started fighting since apparently she had broken the deal in some way, my dad found out about the neglect, and she started going into the adult industry. They separated and for years I had no contact with my mother, I sent her texts and emails, some that even popped up as she had seen it, but she never replied so one day I just gave up trying to contact her. I managed to stay in contact with some people from her side of the family but a lot of them began hating on us, saying that we were too harsh on her, that we never supported her, that she did well leaving us, and gradually I also cut contact with them as well. She started working in the adult industry and got pretty famous in my country, got a lot of money and I stopped using any NSFW websites as she was on the top pages of all of them, I gladly suffered zero to no bullying in high school because of it as there were no ways of connecting her to me and most of my friends that knew my mother didn't know it was her (she had dyed her hair, done a few surgeries and stuff). Well, I moved on with my life, joined the army and I'm pretty well now, however,, a year ago, out of nowhere she found me on social media and began to message me, asking how I was, commenting on how much I had grown up and trying to do some small talk. I just replied with one words and even stopped replying once my nerve got the best of me. Apparently, she has retired, and after feeling an "overwhelming remorse throughout her entire life" decided to contact us again, my brother was also careful but essentially accepted her back(he was always close to her), my father is cordial with her but only that. She has also asked her entire part of the family for help as I began being bombarded with messages and calls, from both those that criticized and supported me and my dad, I made it clear that I do not want anything with her but they just keep on it, saying that she is remorseful, that she did a mistake but wants to make it right, that she has come back for us, etc. More recently she somehow found out where I live and I been receiving random gifts at my doorstep with messages that we're clearly hers, things like a basket of chocolate that I liked when I was little, expensive clothes(she got my size wrong on all of them lol), flowers when my cat passed away, and even a very expensive hiking kit. I messaged her a few times to say that I don't want any of that but she just pretends she doesn't know what I'm talking about or just says she thought of me at that moment. I made it clear time and time again that I don't want anything to do with her but she still persists, saying that "she can be my mom again now" and stuff like that. I don'tt know what else to say so advises are more than welcome. TLDR: Mother cheated and decided to abandon the family to work in the adult industry, now she is trying to approach me again with gifts and messages but I don't want any relationship with her. RELEVANT COMMENTS** PixieOnAcid You are under no obligation to allow her back into your life. Block her again, and her family, and dump all of the gifts she gives you. Stop entertaining her attention. If she still will not stop, I'd honestly recommend going the legal route. Get a cease and desist letter sent out to her and her family, and if that doesn't stop it, go to the police to get her harassment on file so it'll be easier to file a police report/restraining order in the future. OOP I have donated or sent back all of the gifts already, unfortunately, cease and desist letters are not a thing in my country but I'm really thinking about filing a police report for harassment just don't know if they will accept since she never did it personally. ~ letskeepthiscivil12 It sounds like shes regretting what shes done and wants it back the way it was. But you shouldn't let this happen. Will just happen over and over again OOP She has indeed voiced that she regrets what she has done and I don't think it would happen again but she should know things would not get back the way it was, and honestly, if she thought it would she is even crazier because things were really bad before. Update 1 June 18, 2021 (11 days later) First I would like to thank everyone that commented giving me some comfort, advice, or letting me unwind on their dms, you all helped me a lot. I'm still trying to answer all of the comments and messages but with work and family craziness reaching new heights that might take some time but know that your words are very appreciated and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Well to start the update; I decided to have the moral high ground and take a more polite approach, I know many of you wanted me to just send her to hell on a message or letter but I thought this way would disarm much of her comebacks and maybe even make some of her family members shut up. I called her and asked her to meet me in a small cafe (no way I was meeting her in private), she got there and it looked like she had won the lottery, she had a smile from ear to ear and was almost jumping up and down but her smile did fade when she saw my face. She sat down and tried to do some small talk but I cut her off and began to rain on her parade. With all of the calm and patience I could gather I told her that no matter what she does or says there would be no way for her to "be my mom again". I started to explain that she was a complete stranger to me now, that I still had resentments, reminded her that I tried many times to stay in contact with her but she refused, and even stated that I'm no longer a child, I'm almost 30 so I kind of don't need a mom anymore (Had to hold myself not to say something like "A few years too late huh?"). I didn't even finish speaking when she burst into tears and began rambling about how sorry she was, that she was sorry for not seeing me grow up, sorry for ignoring me, that she would do anything for a second chance. She even told me that if her old work bothers me she could have it all taken down and pay for therapy if I wanted (Apparently she didn't know I'm in therapy ever since I was a teenager). I politely refused and since the conversation wasn't likely to progress I just left after asking her once more to not contact me again. A couple of hours later I was in the shower when my phone began exploding with calls and messages, she apparently once again told her family and once again they were cursing or trying to convince me. That showed me that some of the more radical comments on my last post were somewhat right and I decided to follow some of their advice. I swapped my phone number (also got a much better phone plan), cleaned my social media of any family members from her side, and told my lawyer to go forward with the restraining order (thanks to the last post I had it ready to go, thanks again everyone). She received the order a couple of days ago and immediately broke it by driving straight to my house to scream why I was doing that, I didn't come out and called the cops, thankfully they saw the restraining order and took her to the station for questioning (I was afraid they would ignore it or something but I'm glad I was wrong). I'm now stuck here, not sure with what I did was 100% right but at least I'm having some semblance of peace this last few days, she's still trying to send gifts but I'm going legal on that too. I'm honestly not sure if there will be any more updates after this but if it happens I'II post on my profile due to this subreddit rules but once again thanks everyone. TLDR: I decided to be polite and meet my mother face to face and tell her that was no way for her to "be my mother again" she said she understood but continued pushing so I went the legal route and served her a restraining order. Update 2 July 7, 2021 (3 weeks after last update) So I wasn't planning on posting any more updates but I lot of people have been messaging me and apparently, my post made into YouTube and it blew up and because of it even more people are pm so I guess I'II just write a quick one. My mother is now legally fighting me on the restraining order (I didn't even know that was a thing) and I'm trying to get more restraining orders for the more crazy members of her family (my lawyer told me to be cautious because if I request 20+ orders for all of her family I'II look like a madman and it will all be denied). She hasn't broken the restraining order again after the last time but the gifts continue to come and even intensified so I'm just donating all of them, although my childhood was pretty bad I can say that the amount of chocolate she sent me is making a lot of kids really happy now lol. And I'II say it again, I'M NOT REVEALING HER NAME! GO FIND PORN ELSEWHERE AND STOP MESSAGING ME! it's not even for her sake but because I don't wanna get doxed, anyone that sends any message like that will be blocked. To end this, I don't know if I'II post any more updates or how long they will be but if something happens I'II definitely tell you guys, once again thanks to everyone that helped m NEW UPDATE Update 3 Jan 26, 2025 (3 and a half years later) Hey there folks, yeah it has been a few years, Life has been a complete rollercoaster but with some people still sending DMs i figure i should at least try to make some updates. Now bear in mind it has been years so my memory might be spotty and all over the place, will try my best to make it chronological but it might turn into a mess. Right where I left off, well my mom had been pushy to the limit but at least with the restraining order she was keeping away, there were some incidents like when she showed up at my dad's house during a family dinner only for my dad's New gf at the time (Now wife) to open the door. She also showed up at my job asking for me (army), and one of my friends who was on guard duty scared her off with a shotgun, love those guys and they are pretty much the only thing I miss about the army. Well, Life was not going that well, kept being passed for promotions, my requests for officer school were always denied and to top it all off my gf at the time cheated and dumped me, so yeah, not Nice. Years went by and when I finally thought I would get an upstart in my promotion I got dismissed by the army along with a lot of other folks, suddenly with no job I had to go back to living with my dad for sometime while I tried to figure out what to do with my Life. The restraining order against my mom also expired so she came back with renewed vigor which did not help the situation at all. Theres a lot more so i should tackle it some other time. For now have a nice weekend folks.

for my last haircut i asked for a burst fade/mullet, and showed my barber some pictures, but he cut it way too short and messed me up. What should i ask this time to fix it and get it back to where i want it? (reference picture is first one) submitted by /u/Financial_Track3521 to r/malehairadvice [link] [comments]

I've had two of these monstrosities this week alone, where normally I get one every other month. I hate doing them and so does everyone else in my shop. They suck to do and they take a long time to get even, and I always feel like I'm going to run over my allotted time. I don't like doing burst fades on adults, and I dread doing them on chubby shithead kids. It is a very time-consuming cut to do on a kid who just wants to look down at his phone and resents me for making him keep his head up. Kids cuts are already priced lower, and I hate doing an intricate time-consuming cut when I'm already going to be charging less to an ungrateful parent. Smartphones being plentiful with kids, giving them access to Instagram and thousand-dollar haircuts, has made my job so much more difficult. Fucking burst fades.
