Graduation dress
Hi everyone! I’m trying to decide between these two dresses for my graduation/prom ceremony and I genuinely can’t choose anymore 😅 The white dress is one size smaller, so it looks a bit more fitted on me, which I actually like. At the same time, I’m not completely sure about the dress itself… although the white color gives me this soft, elegant, almost “pure” feeling that I really love. On the other hand, almost everyone around me says the pink dress suits me better and makes me look more radiant. Honestly, I like both dresses almost equally, so now I’m completely torn. In my country there isn’t really a tradition that graduation dresses have to be white, so the color itself doesn’t matter. I’d just really love to hear some unbiased opinions about which color suits me more overall. Also sorry for the messy background, it was just a quick try-on session 😭 submitted by /u/29hermionna to r/fashion [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP. OOP is u/Wise_logical_frog Originally posted to r/raisedbynarcissists I am finally leaving my homophobic Muslim country and my homophobic Muslim parents and I will never see them again Editor's note: added paragraph breaks for ease of readability Thanks to u/aaryanhere for the suggestion Trigger Warnings: physical assault, emotional abuse, past trauma, bullying, severe child abuse Original Post: October 14, 2022 My (18)m life turned to hell when I was 8 years old, I had no idea that I was gay or that there are gay people as no one is openly gay in my country, I live in a country in the Middle East where being gay is punishable by death, my parents are extremely homophobic, they don't see gay people as human beings they see us as a virus that needs to be kil*ed (their words). One day when I was 8 my father came home from work and beat the shit out of me then he tied me to the bed and locked me in the room, he told me he will not free me unless I stop acting like a girl, I had No idea what he was talking about, apparently the morning of that day my aunt and cousins where visiting and I was playing with my brothers and cousins and my aunt realized I was acting girly and told my dad so he could do something about it, he left me in the room for two days straight and came in once a day to feed me so I don't die, I was freed because I passed out and needed to go to the hospital. I learned what being gay meant when I was 12 from the internet and I realized I was gay, but due to my past experience I knew that my parents, family, and friends shouldn't be trusted and I should keep it a secret and thankfully I did, however I hated myself for a while as I still believed in Islam back then, and the bullying at home and school didn't make it better, I was beaten at school by my classmates and at home by my father and brothers. I prayed to Allah each day to turn me straight but nothing changed and at the age of 15 I realized that no mythical being is going to save me and that it's up to me, I left Islam and told my father I want to take self-defense lessons and I started to pay attention to how I acted in public, the bullying at school stopped when I broke a kids arm for making fun of me (I don't regret it) and my father was happy that I was masculine now so the beating stopped, I realized that doing what he says made him love me, so I started doing everything he wants me to do, I never said no to him and I became his favorite, he told me so in front of my brothers that I am his favorite. Last year I asked him if I could apply to colleges in the US, I am half-American and I have family there so he agreed, and I did get in. My father thinks I am going for four years then I am coming back to work in his company and eventually take over, I have an older brother and a twin brother they would kil* me too if they knew I was gay so I didn't care about my relationship with them and my parents liking me more didn't help. My father kicked out my older brother two years ago and took away his inheritance from my grandparents, his relationship with my twin is rocky too, my twin plans to cut contact with my parents when he graduates because they will pay for his college here, my brothers used to call me dad's bi*ch for doing everything he said they don't know why I do that and they never bothered to know, I don't know why my twin told me our relationship is awful and he used to beat me with my dad and my other brother, so I told dad about his plan and convinced him to give me both of my brothers inheritance since they are going to leave him anyway and he agreed. My father thinks I am going to a different uni in a different state other than the one I am going to and he thinks I will live with my family while studying, I already booked another flight from the state I will land in,my family who are coming to pick me up from the airport won't find me there and I intend to disappear and change my name. I will use the inheritance from my grandparents to pay for uni and my living expenses while I study. Some may think that I am an asshole for what I am doing but I don't care, my only regret is that I won't get to see my parent's faces worrying about where I am and when they are old and dying alone without their kids beside them or my brothers’ faces when they realize I took all of their money. My father used to brag to his friends who have daughters that he only got boys and how he is raising strong manly men who will carry his name and takeover his company and continue his legacy, he confessed to me a couple of days ago how he hated me when I was young and was afraid I would turn out to be gay, but he was glad that Allah answered his prayers and turned me into a strong smart manly man, he told me that Allah blessed him with me to make up for how disappointing my brothers are, he told me that he loves me (for the first time in my life) and how proud of me he is, he said he's going to miss me and told me he is going to call me each day and will come to visit , he said that he can't wait for me to return and start working with him, maybe I should have felt more sympathy for him now after what he said but I didn't I am more happy not that I am sure he will suffer for what he did to me, how do you like me now father? Editor's note: OOP has made same original post onto another subreddit, I am adding comments from that subreddit for more context Relevant Comments OOP on where he is from OOP: For safety reasons I won't say now Commenter 1: Good luck but get a backup plan in case you don’t get control of your inheritance because you still need to get out. Once you leave, be careful what you put on social media until some time has passed then let your freak flag fly! OOP: Thank you, my father already put it in my account he can't take it back Commenter 2: Change your name as soon as you arrive! Don't study under your original name - there is no guarantee the uni won't put you on their website for whatever reason, don't give your family any way of finding you! Also, go to a police station somewhere that is not your new hometown, and make it clear to the police that you are not missing, but are voluntarily going no contact with your family - otherwise, the relatives in the US could open a missing person's case on you. And transfer all your money away from any financial institution your father also banks at. Create a new account at a different bank, so that there is no chance they could gain access to your money. These are the only bullet points I could think of on the fly - maybe search out subreddits and websites dedicated to people who need to disappear, like battered spouses, and go through their checklists to see if there are any other protocols you should observe. This really sounds like a life-and-death-situation, so be as safe as you can be! And go to therapy, if you can - the university may have some student counseling resources. At the moment, you sound very emotionally damaged, which is completely natural, considering what you had to go through - but to become happy, you need to repair and heal the damage your family inflicted. OOP: Yes I plan on changing my name and thank you for the rest of the information I really appreciate it   Update: October 21, 2022 (one week later) So I landed in the US a few of days ago, I have the money in an account that my family can't control. Thank you all for your support and advice, I was planning on just disappearing, but you guys told me that my family could file for a missing person. So I decided to send my father a text when I first landed in the state I was supposed to live in, not the actual state I am currently in. I told him that when my family come to pick me up they won't find me. I told him that he was right when he guessed that I was going to be gay when I was 8 years old and that I hate him so much for what he did to me and how he turned my life into a living hell for something completely out of control, I told him that I always did what he asked me to do, never talked back and was nice to him not because I loved him but because I feared him. I told him that he should reconsider his barbaric actions because he believes in god and the afterlife and no god would let him into heaven after what he did to me unless he is a sadistic lunatic like my father is, I told him that I know that the urge to honor kil* me will eventually come to him, but I told him that he better not try to find me, because first of all he will never find me and secondly if he did find me and came after me. I have pics of me kissing a guy that I sent to my friends and I told them, if something happens to me they are going to share the pics on every social platform and they will send it to the whole family, his friends, and his business partners, with a note from me stating that he is the one who pulled me and my brothers away from living a correct healthy Muslim lifestyle that Allah commands and made me and brothers gay (in the middle east people believe that being gay is a contagious disease that you have to get from someone else, that's why they slaughter gay people so they don't turn more people gay). I told him that not only will I ruin the family's reputation and name but I will also going to make sure that he is outed as gay to the government so he will spend the rest of his life fleeing from a death penalty and being afraid of getting honor killed like I do, so if he wants to keep his head on his shoulders and keep his business from going bankrupt, I better not see him ever again or even know that he stepped foot in the USA. I told him that if he still wants someone to carry his name and take over the company, he better try and mend his relationship with my brothers, but I told him I hope he doesn't so he can die alone. After sending the text I broke the sim and left the phone at the airport like some of you advised me. I met with a lawyer yesterday, so we could start the process of changing my name, I still have no idea what to name myself (so if you have suggestions please don't hesitate to tell me), but I am sure that I won't choose an Arab name for the safety reasons, I don't know what awaits me in the future, but I am happy that I am finally away from my family, friends and society I grew up in and for the first time in forever I feel relaxed. Thank you all for the support on my original post and thank you for your advice, I just wanted to answer some questions some of you asked on the original post Yes I am a US citizen, and no my brothers didn't beat or bully me because of my father, they also do hate gay people, they even joined the "فتره" trend (it happened after Disney and marvel movies started to include LGBTQ+ characters) which is a trend in Muslim majority countries where people change the their profile picks into a blue and pink background declaring that it is the human nature that love relations are only between a man and woman, the same people who followed the trend where demanding that the police search and hack into people's phones to discover who is gay and apply Allah's judgment on us which is basically the death penalty, so no I don't regret taking their money, these people deserve to spend the rest of their lives in misery and I hope they do, for what they are doing to people like me, in fact if I could have taken more money from them I would, I will never forgive them for how they treated me. Editor's note: OOP has made same update post onto another subreddit, I am adding comments from that subreddit for more context Relevant Comments Commenter: I saw other posts stating that you are half American. Do you have the visa, or the US passport? How did you manage to immigrate to the US? OOP: yes, I already have a US passport, my grandparents from my mother’s side were American converts OOP on getting student loans for his university years OOP: I have a scholarship so I don't have to worry about paying for uni, and the money would help with my living expenses till I finish college and can work   Editor's note: marking this inconclusive as OOP has not updated in nearly four years   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

My screen keeps going entirely pink for the background.
Hey, so I have no idea what in the world is wrong with my pc. I've had it since probably 2016 or 2017, and just a week ago, I started having the issue shown in the video. Sometimes the background will remain normal until I move a shortcut icon, and sometimes it'll just go pink for no reason. I thought it was my graphics driver being out of date, so I updated my graphics driver, but nothing has changed. Restarting my pc temporarily fixes the issue for a while, but it's not a permanent fix. I've already ruled out the issue with the background changing to the pink filter in settings, given that my pc doesn't have Windows activated (oops), so the option straight up is unavailable. I don't think it's an issue with faulty wires, but I'm not entirely sure. Is there anything else that could be wrong with it? Should I be worried? submitted by /u/throwawayacc_idkw to r/computerhelp [link] [comments]

My father thinks I am going to a different uni in a different state other than the one I am going to and he thinks I will live with my family while studying, I already booked another flight from the state I will land in,my family who are coming to pick me up from the airport won't find me there and I intend to disappear and change my name. I will use the inheritance from my grandparents to pay for uni and my living expenses while I study. Some may think that I am an asshole for what I am doing but I don't care, my only regret is that I won't get to see my parent's faces worrying about where I am and when they are old and dying alone without their kids beside them or my brothers’ faces when they realize I took all of their money. My father used to brag to his friends who have daughters that he only got boys and how he is raising strong manly men who will carry his name and takeover his company and continue his legacy, he confessed to me a couple of days ago how he hated me when I was young and was afraid I would turn out to be gay, but he was glad that Allah answered his prayers and turned me into a strong smart manly man, he told me that Allah blessed him with me to make up for how disappointing my brothers are, he told me that he loves me (for the first time in my life) and how proud of me he is, he said he's going to miss me and told me he is going to call me each day and will come to visit , he said that he can't wait for me to return and start working with him, maybe I should have felt more sympathy for him now after what he said but I didn't I am more happy not that I am sure he will suffer for what he did to me, how do you like me now father? Editor's note: OOP has made same original post onto another subreddit, I am adding comments from that subreddit for more context Relevant Comments OOP on where he is from OOP: For safety reasons I won't say now Commenter 1: Good luck but get a backup plan in case you don’t get control of your inheritance because you still need to get out. Once you leave, be careful what you put on social media until some time has passed then let your freak flag fly! OOP: Thank you, my father already put it in my account he can't take it back Commenter 2: Change your name as soon as you arrive! Don't study under your original name - there is no guarantee the uni won't put you on their website for whatever reason, don't give your family any way of finding you! Also, go to a police station somewhere that is not your new hometown, and make it clear to the police that you are not missing, but are voluntarily going no contact with your family - otherwise, the relatives in the US could open a missing person's case on you. And transfer all your money away from any financial institution your father also banks at. Create a new account at a different bank, so that there is no chance they could gain access to your money. These are the only bullet points I could think of on the fly - maybe search out subreddits and websites dedicated to people who need to disappear, like battered spouses, and go through their checklists to see if there are any other protocols you should observe. This really sounds like a life-and-death-situation, so be as safe as you can be! And go to therapy, if you can - the university may have some student counseling resources. At the moment, you sound very emotionally damaged, which is completely natural, considering what you had to go through - but to become happy, you need to repair and heal the damage your family inflicted. OOP: Yes I plan on changing my name and thank you for the rest of the information I really appreciate it   Update: October 21, 2022 (one week later) So I landed in the US a few of days ago, I have the money in an account that my family can't control. Thank you all for your support and advice, I was planning on just disappearing, but you guys told me that my family could file for a missing person. So I decided to send my father a text when I first landed in the state I was supposed to live in, not the actual state I am currently in. I told him that when my family come to pick me up they won't find me. I told him that he was right when he guessed that I was going to be gay when I was 8 years old and that I hate him so much for what he did to me and how he turned my life into a living hell for something completely out of control, I told him that I always did what he asked me to do, never talked back and was nice to him not because I loved him but because I feared him. I told him that he should reconsider his barbaric actions because he believes in god and the afterlife and no god would let him into heaven after what he did to me unless he is a sadistic lunatic like my father is, I told him that I know that the urge to honor kil* me will eventually come to him, but I told him that he better not try to find me, because first of all he will never find me and secondly if he did find me and came after me. I have pics of me kissing a guy that I sent to my friends and I told them, if something happens to me they are going to share the pics on every social platform and they will send it to the whole family, his friends, and his business partners, with a note from me stating that he is the one who pulled me and my brothers away from living a correct healthy Muslim lifestyle that Allah commands and made me and brothers gay (in the middle east people believe that being gay is a contagious disease that you have to get from someone else, that's why they slaughter gay people so they don't turn more people gay). I told him that not only will I ruin the family's reputation and name but I will also going to make sure that he is outed as gay to the government so he will spend the rest of his life fleeing from a death penalty and being afraid of getting honor killed like I do, so if he wants to keep his head on his shoulders and keep his business from going bankrupt, I better not see him ever again or even know that he stepped foot in the USA. I told him that if he still wants someone to carry his name and take over the company, he better try and mend his relationship with my brothers, but I told him I hope he doesn't so he can die alone. After sending the text I broke the sim and left the phone at the airport like some of you advised me. I met with a lawyer yesterday, so we could start the process of changing my name, I still have no idea what to name myself (so if you have suggestions please don't hesitate to tell me), but I am sure that I won't choose an Arab name for the safety reasons, I don't know what awaits me in the future, but I am happy that I am finally away from my family, friends and society I grew up in and for the first time in forever I feel relaxed. Thank you all for the support on my original post and thank you for your advice, I just wanted to answer some questions some of you asked on the original post Yes I am a US citizen, and no my brothers didn't beat or bully me because of my father, they also do hate gay people, they even joined the "فتره" trend (it happened after Disney and marvel movies started to include LGBTQ+ characters) which is a trend in Muslim majority countries where people change the their profile picks into a blue and pink background declaring that it is the human nature that love relations are only between a man and woman, the same people who followed the trend where demanding that the police search and hack into people's phones to discover who is gay and apply Allah's judgment on us which is basically the death penalty, so no I don't regret taking their money, these people deserve to spend the rest of their lives in misery and I hope they do, for what they are doing to people like me, in fact if I could have taken more money from them I would, I will never forgive them for how they treated me. Editor's note: OOP has made same update post onto another subreddit, I am adding comments from that subreddit for more context Relevant Comments Commenter: I saw other posts stating that you are half American. Do you have the visa, or the US passport? How did you manage to immigrate to the US?

My screen keeps going entirely pink for the background.
Hey, so I have no idea what in the world is wrong with my pc. I've had it since probably 2016 or 2017, and just a week ago, I started having the issue shown in the video. Sometimes the background will remain normal until I move a shortcut icon, and sometimes it'll just go pink for no reason. I thought it was my graphics driver being out of date, so I updated my graphics driver, but nothing has changed. Restarting my pc temporarily fixes the issue for a while, but it's not a permanent fix. I've already ruled out the issue with the background changing to the pink filter in settings, given that my pc doesn't have Windows activated (oops), so the option straight up is unavailable. I don't think it's an issue with faulty wires, but I'm not entirely sure. Is there anything else that could be wrong with it? Should I be worried? submitted by /u/throwawayacc_idkw to r/computerhelp [link] [comments]

ICE Kills Yet Another Protestor, A Study in r/Conservative Censorship
The Context Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday, prompting renewed clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters demanding an end to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The man who was shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse. Videos analyzed by The New York Times contradict accounts given by Homeland Security officials about the shooting. They said the man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them. Footage of the encounter shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground and shoot him. The Posts There are several Flaired Users Only™ posts about this: BREAKING: Video of ICE-Involved Shooting Near Glam Doll Donuts in South Minneapolis on Nicollet Avenue Just Dropped – Here Are The Details! - +1066 / 2049 Comments Federal agents involved in Minneapolis shooting, DHS says suspect was armed - +413 / 881 Comments Alleged Armed Suspect Shot and Killed During Struggle With Border Patrol - +240 / 326 Comments New Footage Which Appears to be from the [angle of the lady in pink] - +536 / 304 comments [DELETED] Editor's Note: I apologize for posting "Yet another r/Conservative post" so soon after my last one. However, I believe it’s crucial to document which content is being deleted and what remains on our favorite subreddit. This news story is particularly important, and I want to bring attention to it. The Comments Comments Deleted By Mods This looks horrible I'm all up for defending ice.... This looks horrible. [DELETED] You're all for defending ICE until an armed extremist impedes them, attacks them, and resists arrest? Sure thing fellow conservative. Happy none of the agents were hurt. [DELETED] maga rhetoric aside.... The optics surrounding this looks horrible. This will not make things better Looks fine to me. who fucking cares. the left will lie no matter what. the other day they were saying ice arrrested a five year old. the fucking optics???? that's 2015 level thinking. we are in a state of cold civil war. it might get hot. we will deport, we will not be deterred. insurrection act now. Dude they were trying to arrest had a 9mm, refused to disarm, resisted arrest, and found out. The scene was chaotic, but it looks like the cops mostly had control and the dude was face down the whole time. You’re a legitimate fucking moron. It’s people like you that are a detriment to the conservative movement. [DELETED] Having a opinion is a problem? But that's ok, and if we are indeed true conservatives and proponents of free speech, we should embrace the opportunity for debate, not diminish it. You’re not conservative. Save it. Dude did you see the video? He mightve been interfering, for sure. But they disarmed him and had him almost spread eagle on the ground. You can’t see shit in those videos. You’re making up shit in your pea brained head. Only Issue is overkill Only issue I see is overkill. Yes, make sure the threat is neutralized but that guy turned into a pinata for bullets at the end. [DELETED] That wasn't overkill at all. There’s no such thing as overkill. lol keep it coming I love the salty messages too mag dumping trash really does it for me 😘 This isn't a video game. You pull the trigger until you are 1000% the threat has been neutralized. There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded person that could still be in possession of a weapon. Weird religious rant As a Christian, I don't enjoy seeing any of our brothers and sisters go through pain or suffrage. It's difficult to watch so much hostility between mankind sometimes. That's what I see when I watch this video. Not so much someonea dying, that happens every day for various reasons caught off camera for terrible and justified reasons alike. But the conflict that brought that group of people together is what is shocking for me. Imagine both sides for instance. We have a liberal minded protestor doing what they think is the most justified thing imaginable. I've been there before as a young rebellious metal head, and I really feel for the heart of these young protestors just starting life. While at the same time, we have conservative minded federal employees doing what they think is the most justified thing imaginable. Been there recently as an older person who understands the legality and purpose of immigration laws. It doesn't matter where you fall onto the argument today, this is frightening to consider, the current state of our country. Instead of viewing eachother as brothers and sisters, we now see each other as threats to the very thing we believe are the most justified thing our country should focus on. Which is fucking terrifying. We are losing touch of what made MLK Jr and Reagan great compromising leaders. I guess what I'm saying is, 15 years ago this could have been myself and probably many modern conservatives today who grew up with the Occupy Movement. Radical youths trying to document events like John Reed. What is shocking in comparison is the level of direct interaction with police. In the past, we would work with police and manage crowds together. I'm not sure what has changed but we have lost something that once made liberal protests safe for families and the rich to attend, which are the financial backbone of these movements (historically). It's sad to see so many of our brothers and sisters going through so many trials and turmoil while trying to do what they think is right. How can we ever get back to a unified nation again where we all respect the police, the law, and respect our right to civil protest? [DELETED] Looks like he was disarmed before he was shot At 18-19 seconds it looks like the guy who proceeds to run straight toward the camera pulls the weapon off the subject. He is holding the gun aimed down and runs away to cover, I presume just as a get the weapon away kind of thing. And from the footage it looks similar to the gun that's been shown. This is before the first gunshot that I hear. This makes it look like it wasn't the subject's weapon that went off AND, technically, had been disarmed BEFORE the first shot is fired. [DELETED] Is that a cop or just some rando jumping into the fray??? Looks like an agent. As he's running towards the camera can pretty clearly see a pretty official looking vest on under his jacket. The first gunshot is from the the guy who lost his life. That's why there was a several second gap. Once he started shooting, that's when the officers respond. It takes a second or so to draw a weapon. I don't hear anything until after I can already see the gun in the grey jacket dude's hand and he is already starting towards the camera... That gun never fires as far as I can tell. We need to see the footage from the woman in pink in the background Definitely. It looks like the olive vest black hat dude immediately to the right of the grey jacket guy who gets the gun might have his weapon pulled. I think I can see it in his right hand, being held sort behind his back, just as the guy who walks in front clears so we have visibility, the next frame or so his hands are out of view again. So dunno if it's him that takes the first shot. He pumps multiple shots in after, he's the one who winds up over to the left firing away towards the end of it. Just can't tell with this video. Why did he need to be armed? Why would a mostly peaceful protestor need to be armed with a 9mm? [DELETED] Because he has a 2nd amendment right to bear arms, whatever got him into the situation BEFORE the shooting is what we need to know. It’s your constitutional right to carry that 9mm that’s why. Yes it is, however any rational CCW holder or supporter will tell you that even appearing to reach for it during an interaction with any law enforcement is extremely stupid. Going to need a few more details before I rush to judgement on this situation. I agree, I’m not defending that part, I’m merely replying to the comment of “why would a supposed peaceful protestor be carrying a 9mm?!?” (Legally of course) No conservative should be okay with this happening Someone watch the video before commenting. Was completely fucked up and no small government conservative should be okay with this stuff happening. [DELETED] Was completely fucked up and no small government conservative should be okay with this stuff happening. So what's your suggestion about what to do about it? Mass amnesty? Just throw more money at social programs? Ignore the problem and let everyone just disobey any law they don't like? ICE agents just let themselves be shot/stabbed/run over? Do you seriously think a well-trained force would have been unable to stop this guy? As far as I can tell ICE went on a hiring spree and are just throwing bodies w/ guns at the problem without really training them. Of course I’m not in favor of mass amnesty but the lack of professionalism, the piss-poor execution that is absolutely eroding public trust in our rights as citizens, and the administration’s seeming unwillingness (we’ll see what happens here) to address this shit or punish those that are abusing their positions is dangerous and bad for our rights as Americans in the long run. You really think it’s either mass amnesty, anarchy, or what we’re seeing in Minneapolis? Are those truly the only options you can consider? [DELETED] If you pull a gun, all that shit goes out the window. At that point, it’s a matter of stopping the threat using any available force. The “anarchy” that’s happening is because democrats are convincing people they don’t have to comply with law enforcement. There was a much greater sense of urgency than there should have been to get ICE ramped up, because we just came off a couple of years of ushering in anyone who said they were scared to live in their country, and in 3 years, it could be the same. It's more than the left's lack of cooperation in dealing with the large numbers of illegal immigrants. It's them actively working to increase the numbers, making it worse. I'm not saying they shouldn't be trained better. But there is a pretty obvious reason why there were not nearly enough trained and experienced ICE officers a year ago. And you aren't going to have enough trained, experienced ICE officers until there have been enough ICE officers for long enough to get them to their optimal level of experience. Did you watch the video? Did you have the audio on? You can clearly hear a gunshot go off before any of the ICE agents start shooting... Should they just let the guy shoot them instead? Dude had a gun, Shut the fuck up "fellow conservative". Don’t call me “fellow conservative” cause there’s no you’re a conservative if you’re supporting this shit. The vast majority of y’all are populists that don’t care how big the government gets as long as it’s your guy in charge. Well guess what? We still have elections and if you think the pendulum isn’t gonna swing the other way in 2028, leaving a guy like Newsom in charge with all of the precedence that this administration is setting, well, good luck to you. Idc if the dude had a gun, they’re federal agents that should be able to overcome one man when they have a 5-on-1 advantage. And again, did you even watch the video? The gun seemed to go off on accident. I doubt the guy thought he was about to pull a Doc Holliday while laying on the ground. But these ICE clowns panicked cause and just started blasting, and now a man is dead and we get more protests, more scandal, more polarization, etc. [DELETED] If you support pulling a weapon on law enforcement, you're with the left. We get it, you support cops getting shot, all u had to say. Ah yes, the totally logical reasoning where being someone who exercises your 2A rights justifies being shot multiple times by immigration after they've already tackled you and have you restrained. [DELETED] They didn't have him restrained, and he was still fighting. Don't get into altercations with law enforcement, especially if you're armed. He should've complied with lawful orders. The fact you're arguing against that tells me you're probably a fellow conservative, too. Get out of here bot. He shot first and that’s why they unloaded on him. Dont be an idiot and run over a cop, don’t be an idiot and resist arrest with a concealed firearm and then discharge it. FAFO I don’t feel that way about this one yet. The girl was messed up but if he was reaching for or grabbing a gun he had this coming 100%. The girl wasn’t messed up at all? She literally hit him with her car before he shot. Which part? The part where more than five guys couldn’t restrain one without resorting to mag dumping into him? What other part would be upsetting? [DELETED] I think you skipped a couple steps in there where the suspect became armed. I guess you could argue 5 law enforcement should be able to restrain one person, but I think this really speaks to the aggressive, violent, and erratic behavior he was exhibiting. I thought we had the right to bear arms??? We do. ...and when you are being arrested, and law enforcement tells you disarm, and you don't and resist arrest... you get shot. There's no excuse for shooting someone, on the ground, surrounded by 6 officers who apparently are entirely incapable of detaining someone. [DELETED] Yeah. Hand guns don't work if you're lying on the ground, he was no danger to them. [DELETED] I mean, when that guy has a gun and tries to draw it? If he had a gun in his hand then hes still a threat even on the ground. Lets wait and see what else is put out but the facts so far are damning for the agitator, not the federal officers. You can find countless videos of people with knives taking several rounds and continuing to advance on officers. A firearm takes significantly less effort to use. In instances of lethal force against people armed with a gun you dont just fire 1 or 2 shots, you end the threat. Comments Not Deleted Lots of FAFO and Victim-Blaming type comments Yet another one who fucked around and found out. All they’re doing is causing additional delays and more feds to be brought in. If they truly just want ICE to leave their best approach would be getting the fuck out of the way. But they don’t want them to leave. They’re loving every minute of this. It sounded like he shot off first. Maybe here's another solution: DONT GET IN A ALTERCATION WITH OFFICERS WHILE ARMED Ok class let’s go over the lesson again: Don’t run over or shoot at law enforcement officers if you don’t want to get shot. Zero compliant persons have been shot. Sounds like he got a shot off first. If you pull a gun on law enforcement. This will happen pretty much 100% of the time. When you watch the video there's an audible gunshot before any agent has their weapon drawn. He was definitely armed and by my view looks like he shot first. The left's angle is that they disamred him and in doing so it went off by accident then they murdered him. Why tf was he even there? Why was he messing with ICE agents. Everyone wants to play big boy with a gun but that isn't how it works. The left just wants more martyrs for their anti ice bs.. they’re happy whenever one of their own is shot by ice. Every single new camera angle is going to increasingly vindicate the agents. Leftists need to stop pointing firearms at people. It's that simple. FAFO. Don't give a shit. Im beyond caring about what happens to these agitators who think what they are doing is lawful and justified because of some shit they read on reddit. Blood is on the hands of elected officials like walz and Frey whose rhetoric makes these lunatics think its ok to try and obstruct the law and harm agents. FAFO. Thoughts and prayers. Some Want Legal/Military Action Against Democrats or the Insurrection Act Why isn't the federal government arresting the governor and mayor!!!! They are causing this garbage!!! Officers are going to end up dead at this rate if these people are not put away for a long long time. The state is in outright rebellion! This was an extremely close call. Thank goodness they reacted in time. At this point, it’s time to send in the army. Invoke the sedition act. Time to exercise the Insurrection Act. If the governor isn't going to do what it takes to protect federal officers trying to do their jobs, then the federal government needs to step up and shut the entire state down. Walz and Frey should also be brought up on charges like they attempted to do to Trump for J6. As awful as this it, it’s absolutely the outcome Frey and Waltz wanted to distract from the massive fraud. They both whipped up a frenzy based on lies knowing full well their lemmings on the left would follow and turn it into another production with this outcome. It’s sad they encouraged people to aggressively push against law enforcement. This was an obvious outcome they could have prevented. Can we just charge all these people with obstruction of justice? The President has no other choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act and possibly Martial Law at this point. Enter the National Guard, Enter the Army and Marines. Have them keep protests at a safe distance from Ice Agents so they cannot obstruct or confront agents... This is insane. A brave few seem to be fighting back (these comments won't stay up for long) Why are the mods removing threads on this topic? IF he was disarmed, as it looks like from the other video, then I don’t see how it was justified. It wasn't at all. I have been defending ICE but this is too much. https://xcancel.com/ryangrim/status/2015132217878384791 I saw all angles. They murdered the dude. Regardless of how “tense” the situation was after somebody yelled “Gun!”. There’s no amount of way in my mind this is tolerable. As a pro 2A guy, this ain’t right. Dude had a concealed gun (apparently legal) he never (very clearly) reached for. If they let this slide who’s to say the bar doesn’t keep moving. Oof, the latest video angle from the lady in Pink seems to clearly show them having removed his pistol a whole 3 seconds before they start firing. Theres one angle where you can see the one who took at least the first few shots. I'm wondering if he saw something like the guy grabbing someones gun or what his reason was for grabbing his gun and firing it into basically a ground of other officers. The Pink Hair Lady video shows it was clearly ONE SHOT that startles the hell out of everyone and stuns them, with the officers even backing off and the suspect sitting straight up, and only AFTER that moment one of the officers seems to react and fire 2-3 more shots that are the actual killing shots on the suspect. The only question here is where did the first shot come from that startles everyone? Did someone's gun accidentally discharge? Did the suspect's gun accidentally discharge during the scuffle? Did the suspect reach for an officer's gun while resisting and cause a discharge? Nobody knows yet. In the deleted post with the new camera angle people start to question the narrative If they disarmed the guy then shot him..... That ain't good. I hope that is not true We also need the body cam but it looks like they took the guy’s gun away before the shooting. I don’t see that though? Officer on the right, 3 seconds before the shooting starts Ugh this is a disaster. I'm all for strict laws and deporting illegal aliens, this was not too long ago supported by both Democrats and Republicans alike, but this is not the way. [DELETED] I am starting to think the same thing. The biggest challenge is have is the left continually speaking about things as literally life or death of the country. This is the result. The disaster is state leaders riling these morons up to the point they arm themselves and impede ICE. Radical democrats calling for violence against ICE is not the way. What is the way? ICE is just trying to do their jobs and they're being impeded from the top down in leftist states by Democrat leaders who are working people into a frenzy. Was there a discharge just a couple seconds before the guy got shot? Or is that something else? Someone was saying he may have accidentally discharged when he had his hand on his gun in his pocket. Right before the first gunshot you can see an officer in a grey jacket moving quickly away from the others. In the other video view you can see this officer has the suspects gun in his hand. It does not appear that the claim of the suspect discharging his weapon is accurate. While the video is pretty bad, Another talking point, do these idiots think they are doing something by blocking the road and blowing a whistle? Fucking good god man. Shit appears extremely childish to me, personally. Professional agitators… submitted by /u/livejamie to r/SubredditDrama [link] [comments]

An Update 16 months later: Boyfriend’s sister now wants me to dye my hair to be a guest at her wedding
I am NOT the Original Poster. That is theimperishableroach. She posted in r/bridezillas Thanks to u/BakingGiraffeBakes for the rec! Do NOT comment on Original Posts. Latest update is 7 days old. Mood Spoiler: yikes on multiple bikes but OOP and boyfriend are fine Original Post: July 15, 2024 I apologize if this isn’t formatted the best, but I tried my best to break it up so it can be readable. :’) So to start this off, my boyfriend and I have been together for about a year now, and I’d say me and his family have been on decent terms. They are traditional, and I am alternative, but they accept their son’s decision, and are generally very polite with me. Issues began to arise, however, after his sister got engaged last fall. I had met her and interacted with her a few times at that point, and she had been generally nice to me. She told me that I was invited to the wedding, which I thought was very sweet, but little did I know what would entail. Her fiancé approached my boyfriend out of the blue, and asked him to be a groomsmen, to which he didn’t give much of an answer. My boyfriend expressed to me later that he wanted to attend as a guest, and really did not want to participate in the wedding itself. He has pretty bad anxiety, so that’s understandable, and he ended up declining the offer. His sister was immediately not taking no for an answer, and went as far as to send him the tux that he was “going to need” despite him declining the offer. What was even more shocking was that the tux was going to be hundreds of dollars, and she wanted him to purchase it, not rent it. He once again stood his ground, and she went to their parents and had them attempt to confront him. They immediately brought me up and began blaming me for his decision, despite me obviously having no say, and he defended me while once again giving a firm no. Things were quiet on that subject for awhile until a few weeks later when she informed him that she would not be able to provide a dinner plate for me. They are still planning the wedding, and at that point it was over 8 months away, so there is no reason why I could not be accommodated for considering that I was invited. She claimed that I was still invited, but that she just couldn’t accommodate an extra person. It was pretty obvious that I now wasn’t welcome, so I was debating even putting the date on my calendar to go, but now there is a new installment to this saga. She sent my boyfriend a message out of the blue, telling him that I will need to dye my hair, and that there is now a dress code for guests. Everyone in attendance is expected to wear certain colors (burnt orange or green) and I am supposed to dye my hair black. If you have ever dyed your hair, you know how hard black is to remove, so that request is insanely unreasonable. My hair is usually a dark red, and is rarely vibrant, but that’s beyond the point. I am not ruining my hair to accommodate to her guest rules, and the best that I could do is a wig, but I am honestly done at this point. My boyfriend respects my decision either way and has got my back no matter what, but I am still just in awe, because I have never experienced this. I feel like it’s 100% targeted, and I don’t know how this will affect my relationship with his family going forward. I just needed to talk about this, and I’m wondering if anyone else has had this happen. tl:dr- my boyfriend’s sister is seemingly angry at him for not wanting to be a groomsmen, so she is singling me out by not providing food for me, and asking that I dye my hair black. updates will be in the comments for now until I can better format them to be shorter and fit well into this post ! I can tag people in them if they get lost among the other comments ! Some of OOP's Comments: EtonRd: What on earth does it mean that you are still invited but they can’t give you dinner? You would sit at a table at the reception and everybody else would be served food and they wouldn’t serve you food? That’s insane. [...] OOP: Right? That was the most confusing part to me! I may have a trip that conflicts with her wedding anyway, so I can just casually miss it. I luckily have a very supportive partner who will defend me no matter what and doesn’t put up with his family’s bs so no matter what it should be fine. greenswizzlewooster: Sis is insane, and she hates you. Don't go to the wedding. There is no sane reason a guest wouldn't be served dinner like any other guest. And it's bad enough when brides presume to ask their attendents to dye their hair, but guests? She can go f herself. OOP: FR! I have heard of brides asking bridesmaids to dye their hair, which is already a big commitment, but guests? the dress code also threw me off so heavily bc why would she want everyone in attendance matching a certain aesthetic and not just bridesmaids/groomsmen? I hope people don’t show up because of it honestly. mammabearlovestea: First, she’s crazy. I hope you don’t end up going, these demands and changes are enough to give me whiplash and I’m not even going through this. The lack of a meal is so strange and it sounds like she keeps coming up with weird things to make you want to stay away. Second, with dark red hair and green clothes, I reckon you’d look stunning! So why on earth would you need to dye your hair? OOP: I’ll be going on a trip around the time of her wedding, so I’ll likely be off having the time of my life while she has her boring little wedding. I would’ve been down to wear green 100% bc I think it would look nice, but she just had to ruin it with the hair request. Imo she’s delivering her own karma by making people wear two very conflicting colors that only look good on their own, and I don’t even think she realizes it. jethrine: Oh, she realizes it all right. She wants to look good by comparison. OOP: apparently the aesthetic is supposed to be “fall colors” but I cannot see emerald green and burnt orange together fitting that vibe well. I would’ve chosen a mahogany color that closer matches the orange, and stuck to warm fall tones, but she either has no coordination skills or you’re exactly right. OOP adds: I have some extra things that I didn’t include here about how she’s treated her brother, so I might as well include them here. She did in fact just expect him to buy the tux, and told him that she wanted him to have it tailored to fit him EXACTLY so that it would look perfect. It was expected that he would buy it early as well, despite him currently saving money for his own place to live because his last living situation did not work out. This woman has also casually asked him for money for christmas (upwards of $500) which was supposedly to go toward the wedding, when her fiancé’s parents were already paying for most of it. He of course was shocked, and obviously can’t be handing out $500, so he got her some personal gifts that aligned with her interests. She seemed less than happy, despite her having only gotten him the same shirt she bought him 2 years in a row. Not joking. They grew up the exact same way (in a small and modest home with not much money) and she still chooses to overspend on lavish items like louis vuitton purses despite living in an apartment currently. Her fiancé was also in fact just a puppet for her to deliver her message to my bf, and wasn’t going to ask him to be best man. Boyfriend's parents: His mother is one of those little submissive trad wife types, so she doesn’t speak up much at all, but his father actually threatened his living situation (he is at home temporarily and is house hunting actively) if he didn’t comply, which he still did not. Seems to me like this is all one big petty bluff, and we have both outwardly called it. I’m considering sending her a personal message letting her know that I am offended at the request of dyeing my hair for her wedding and letting her know I won’t be attending unless I’m there as myself and being fed. To another commenter speculating if bf's anxiety is due to parents: Oh 100% it is. When I met him he was basically a servant for his family because no one had ever told him what a normal relationship a family should be. He’s told me that I saved him, because I’m the only person who he feels like he can talk to about his trauma, and I help him be a more strong person. He originally had trouble standing up to them, and now he sets very clear boundaries and lives a more carefree life. I think the turning point was our second date when his mom actually called and demand that he come home and pick her up to go somewhere. He told her to find another ride, and by the way she reacted, it was obvious that it wasn’t a common occurrence for her to hear a solid no. I won’t get into every issue she’s caused, but she’s a mess, and her husband does nothing but enable her insanity. GlutenFreeNoodleArms: buy the cheapest black wig you can and then pack yourself a whole picnic dinner! 😂 OOP: I have a black wig from a cosplay I did recently that’s been worn quite a bit and is now pretty raggedy so I may show up in that 💀 my goth ass with that wig is gonna be looking like a cheap spirit halloween animatronic OOP's hair: my hair is dyed red, not natural ! that’s why I’m especially concerned about trying to dye it a color that I don’t want to keep, bc it would be insanely damaging after all the bleaching that my hair has sustained :’) Update Comment: 1 hour later update: I have sent her a personal message detailing my boundaries and stating my requirements. This is what I said to her. Hi! I just wanted to shoot you a message and let you know that I heard from (bf’s name) about your request for me to dye my hair for your wedding, and I find that to be too big of a commitment for just being a guest at a wedding. If I don’t fit the intended aesthetic for your special day, then feel free to uninvite me. I was set to attend as his date, but I refuse to make an alteration to my hair that could leave it damaged and unable to be dyed back to my desired color. I would be happy to wear a green or burnt orange dress, and I can be formal, but asking guests to dye their hair is an unreasonable and frankly disrespectful request. As I said before, you may uninvite me if you please, because I am not honoring that request. Update Comment 2: 6 hour later UPDATE ABOUT THE MESSAGE I SENT: Of course, instead of responding, she brought her entire family into it. My boyfriend is absolutely livid that she spread my message around and is making a big deal about it, and isn’t speaking to her right now. His parents tried to get aggressive with him about it, and he told them that if they want to come to our wedding in the future, that they have to shave their eyebrows off and dye their hair green so they can see how it feels to be asked to alter their appearance like that. His sister is still being petty about it, so who knows what will happen going forward, but nonetheless I have been firm with my boundaries. She apparently sorted out the dinner plate situation, but just didn’t tell us for months, so I do in fact have food if I go, but I doubt that I will. Update Post: November 16, 2025 (16 months later) So over a year ago now, I made a post that got some attention, and then completely forgot about it. There was a popular demand for an update/resolution, so if anyone remembers this saga, here it is ! If you didn’t read the previous post or don’t want to, my bf’s sister expected me to dye my hair black and wear specific colors (burnt orange or green) to her wedding. She also attempted to exclude me by saying that she could not provide me a seat or food, after giving me an invitation and saying that she would love to have me. I attended the wedding, against what everyone advised, and I am SO glad that I was there to witness the absolute mess that it was. To properly start this off, I first need to talk about the rehearsal, which was also a mess. Everyone was disjointed and disorganized, the planner was yelling at people, someone stepped on a snake, and everyone kept forgetting what was rehearsed. It was a very hot day, and the rehearsal was outdoors, so everyone was sweaty and fed up. After the rehearsal, there was a dinner, where I apparently “embarrassed” everyone by pulling out a bottle of advil to give to my boyfriend because he had a migraine, and walked with him to the bathroom when he felt sick. Additionally, on the morning of the wedding, his parents sent a message (on his sister’s behalf) saying that my piercings weren’t going to be allowed either, which led to my boyfriend calling and confronting them. Despite all of this, I had now seen how bad the rehearsal was, so I had to be there for this wedding. I of course did not remove my piercings or dye my hair, I went as me, in a tight emerald green dress. When I arrived, I noticed multiple people with piercings and tattoos, as well as dyed hair. I immediately noticed that no one was wearing green or burnt orange, and the main wedding colors were beige and pink. As many people speculated, her improvised “rules” were definitely targeted toward me, possibly to try and make me look bad or embarrass me. Now onto the wedding. The speakers they used to play music sounded like they were waterlogged, and whoever was playing the music somehow paused it twice. Rather than having a flower girl, the groom had his grown male friend tossing flowers, and a guest nearly walked out because he threw flowers directly in his face. The groom walked out to X Gon’ Give it To Ya (very classy) while all of his buddies yelled and whistled. The bride’s grandma decided she didn’t want to walk out as rehearsed, and loudly argued with the event coordinator who was trying to lead her back over to where she was supposed to walk. Everyone was looking at each other, cracking jokes and whispering, and it might’ve been one of the least serious weddings I’ve ever attended. When it was time for photos, she asked me to get in the photo, only to purposely place me in the back. My boyfriend noticed this, and picked me up bridal style so I’d be in full view in every photo. They ended up giving everyone a plate to go up and get some food, and everyone was allowed one plate per person. I ended up waiting until the person serving the food switched out, and got two plates of food. The bride vanished for hours to take pictures, and everyone was left bored and waiting for cake. I had a great time partying with my boyfriend at the reception, and it turns out the bride was having fun partying too. We were watching back footage of the reception on the wedding photographer’s facebook page to try and find us dancing, and saw her in the background dancing on another guy. When I say on, I mean on, because her body was fully pressed against this random man. I went, I saw, I looked good, and I got to laugh at a failure of a wedding. That wraps up the saga ! Some of OOP's Comments: cashmerered: Are they still married? OOP: somehow, but my bf and I have always believed that he may swing the other way and that he married her for appearances. my bf showed up to their apartment one day to pick up something from his sister, and heard two hushed male voices, and footsteps running away before her husband cracked the door and asked what he needed. it’s comical how not into each other they seem, and how performative everything they do is. Granadafan: "someone stepped on a snake," Whoa whoa whoa, you can’t just gloss over this gem. Where did the snake come from, what was the reaction, was the snake ok? OOP: it was a fairly small snake that was just stunned, and someone picked it up and carried it away 😭 the chaos that ensued over such a harmless looking snake was hilarious though To another commenter: it wasn’t a baby snake, it was just a smaller sized snake ! there are a lot of small and harmless garden snakes where I live, and I pick them up all the time. they’re usually just scared and not trying to bite. lucyfussbudget1: Yeah, I am not scared of snakes, I find them rather fascinating. Nevertheless, this was a wedding? Or the reception? And someone just randomly steps on a snake and then the narrative just moves on? I have questions!!!! 🤷‍♀️ OOP: the rehearsal was where the snake got stepped on ! the bride wanted everyone to come to the venue to “rehearse” how they would walk and where they would stand or sit at the wedding. her wedding was outdoors, so everyone was walking through the grass, and that’s when someone screamed and we saw the snake. someone’s husband picked it up and carried it off 😭 Hope_Wally: Follow up questions how is their marriage going? How is your relationship with your bf (he sounds great especially in comparison to his sister)? How is your relationship with the sister now? OOP: seems to be going fine, but as I mentioned in another comment, I’m still not convinced that they are actually attracted to each other. my bf went to pick up a chair from his sister’s recently not knowing she was out, and when he knocked, he heard two frantic hushed male voices. we’ve been convinced for awhile that her husband swings the other way, and that definitely made it more likely in my mind. my bf and I’s relationship is great! at this point he has distanced himself from his family a lot due to this incident and many other events that have followed, such as them trying to force him into buying a property that he didn’t want, and locking him out of the house over it. they’ve always treated him like shit, so it’s not surprising, but we currently live together and are doing great ! I don’t see his sister much, and didn’t really like her in the first place, so pretty much the same as it’s always been. she’s the kind of person to try and live above her means and make her life look lavish while going into debt, and that’s a kind of person I can’t tolerate being around. there were also some extremely offensive messages that she sent to my boyfriend about me that caused him to cut off contact with her for months, so that was a nail in the coffin. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

AITA for telling my wife she can’t cook?
I (29m) have been with my wife (28f) for 8 years, and meals are just about the only place of contention in our marriage, but I’m scared she’s going to kill someone one day. Background - we split the cooking in our house 50/50, but when she cooks I feel like I have to watch her like a hawk. She undercooks just about everything, especially meat, and no matter how many times I try to politely correct her, she claims I’m being “picky”. For example, every time she makes rice, I just can’t convince her it’s 1 part rice to 2 parts water. She always says “are you sure? That seems like a lot of water.” Or “Maybe that’s how you like it, but I don’t want it so mushy”. The package and google won’t convince her either, and I just swallow my pride and eat the crunchy rice every time. It’s like that with everything. Pasta, veggies, bread, meat… The thing is, I wouldn’t care so much if it was just me, but she always wants to cook for our friends. She really prides herself on her cooking and wants to make everything herself. I just trail behind her, trying to make sure it’s all edible, but there’s usually a few dishes that end up drastically over salted or undercooked. Our friends will politely eat, but I noticed they’ve been coming to fewer and fewer invitations for dinner. Things all came to a head the other night when she went to put some chicken in the oven as I was hopping in the shower. When I came out, she had pulled the chicken out and said dinner was ready. I was skeptical and told her that it had only been like 10 minutes. She said she pan-seared it first so it was fine, but when I came to look, the sides were literally pink. I snapped a little and told her she’s going to kill someone one day from serving them raw meat. Can’t you see that it’s pink? That’s food safety number 1. She said she thought it was done, and it’s not her fault, her mother never showed her how to cook chicken growing up. I then told her “Well you’re almost thirty, that’s no excuse for not knowing how to cook at all.” Needless to say she was pretty upset with me, and I probably could’ve been nicer. But I’ve been nice about it for 8 years and nothing has changed. AITA? submitted by /u/Rare_Plastic4708 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Unexpected cleavage
I wasn't expecting this type of images from chatgpt. My prompt was: A painting of a Black woman sitting on a bench in a park during summer at sunset. The woman has lifelike, photorealistic facial features and wears contemporary clothes. She appears happy, and her hair is tied in a knot. The park setting and background are painted with expressive, textured, and visible brushstrokes in the style of Impressionism. The warm hues of the setting sun cast a golden glow over the scene, with long, distinct shadows adding depth. The sky blends rich oranges, pinks, and purples, enhancing the serene atmosphere. The overall effect is as if a real woman entered an Impressionist painting. It also ignored the requirements about the hair. Initially, I just wrote "a woman" and he generated a white woman with the hair tied, then I said: "she is Black". submitted by /u/marco_altieri to r/ChatGPT [link] [comments]

Annoying pink screen on windows 10
I'm having an issue where my background is randomly turning pink. I have dual monitors and they both turn a bright pink colour randomly. All Icons stay standard colours so it seems its just the background only. It seems to be software related as the moment I restart the pc the original desktop background images return to normal. I've done a search online and I've found a grand total of 1 person who's had the same issue and they said to turn auto sync on and nothing else. That means nothing to me. Not that I believe its the issue but I did ensure both display ports are inserted appropriately both ends. Its not happened very often but its getting annoying now.
