Where is everyone getting their gauze cheesecloth runners from?
I don’t plan on doing too much for the reception table due to limitations. Just bud flower vases and runners. My venue doesn’t allow more than 5 candles per table. And the tables are very long so the candles aren’t even worth it. Also not doing any charger plates. I feel like my tables may look a bit skimpy.
Any other ideas for the reception table?

I work retail in a pretty busy part of town. I'm scheduled almost everyday and often end up working late into the night. I live pretty close to the store; so I've always walked to and from. On this particular night, it was already in the am. The usually crowded sidewalks were now barren. I was alone out here and honestly…it felt pretty creepy. As I continued to walk, I noticed a guy standing to himself. He seemed kinda strange, all fidgety and staring at the ground. He was dressed in all black and had a hood on, so I couldn't see his face. He made me feel uncomfortable, like I should've taken a different path.
Then again, I had been working all day. I wanted to go home and I wasn't gonna let some weirdo worry me. So I switched my attention to my phone and walked right past him. I wished that was the end of our meeting; but it was just beginning. "Hey man, got a smoke", he asked. I didn't smoke, so I shook my head and kept walking. What happened next though, was downright terrifying. As the guy casually started to follow me. Whats worse, was that I finally got a glimpse at his face…or lack thereof. This freak was wearing a Halloween mask in April. It was one of those scary orange pumpkin mask with bloody teeth. In fact, I think our store sold them.
Knowing his intentions weren't good, I started to walk faster. And of course, he did the same. I considered myself to be a brave guy, and I was getting sick of his game. So I turned around and gave this loser a piece of my mind. "Get out of here before I hurt you…freak!!". Instead of scaring him like I'd hoped; my words seemed to excite the man. "Oooh tough guy, this is gonna be fun", he chuckled. He then pulled an extremely long kitchen knife from his jacket and held it in the air.
My first and only instinct was to run and not stop. He seemed to enjoy this; as he pursued me while giggling like an excited child. I ran from this freak at full speed, but he didn't have any issues keeping up with me. I had never been in the best of shape; and maybe tonight I was paying for it. Thankfully, I saw an alleyway as I was fleeing. I quickly took a turn and sprinted into the darkness. Figuring he wasn't far behind; I dived behind a dumpster for cover. By this point I was out of breath; but I had to stay quiet. I covered my mouth and prayed for this psycho to go away. Unfortunately for me, I heard footsteps coming in my direction. I poked my head out and saw him dragging his knife down a brick wall. He then let out another twisted giggle before speaking again.
"A game of hide and seek? Sounds like a blast my little piggie". He then started to playfully prance around like a ballerina. Humming an upbeat tune while searching for me. There was no other word to describe his behavior except for absolute madness. This masked psychopath was having the time of his life chasing after me. Pretty soon he'd approach my hiding spot, it was safe to say that I was terrified. What happened next however, was something neither of us expected. As a seemingly drunk homeless man stumbled onto the scene. He held a bottle of liquor and gave the psycho a ticked off look. "Hey man, this is my territory here! You need to roll on before you get hurt".
Clearly the old man didn't know what kind of person he was dealing with. Seeing the creepy jack-o-lantern mask made him take a step back. "Hey man, are you on something?", the guy asked. Saying nothing, my stalker approached the man with his knife drawn. I then watched in horror as he plunged his blade into the man's stomach. I watched helplessly as he stabbed this innocent old guy over and over. The blood gushed out like a fountain; his groans of pain were something I'd never forget. I should've tried to help the guy; but I was in utter shock. Watching the life slowly leave this person's body was something I didn't want to see.
Proud of his work; the killer began smearing the fresh crimson onto his mask. Afterwards he let out this creepy moan; feeling utter bliss from killing someone. I couldn't watch anymore; I had to get out of here now! I darted from behind the dumpster in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately though, the killer was closer to me than I thought. As he reached out and slashed my back with his already blood soaked knife. I yelled out in pain, but I did not stop moving. One could only imagine what he'd do if I did. On top of my current circumstances; I had already worked an eight hour shift. I was utterly exhausted and didn't know how much longer I could run. Meanwhile my stalker kept pursuing me; like his stamina was infinite.
It was only a matter of time before I ended up his second victim. Thankfully, as if fate wanted me to survive this night. I came upon a police station, the relief I felt was unreal. Naturally I dashed up the steps and entered into this safe haven. Inside officers sat around talking and sipping late night cups of coffee. I looked back with a smile; thinking my worries were over. However, this nightmare wouldn't end just yet. As the killer ran into the station after me; knife drawn and everything. He had to be out of his mind; it's as if the only thing that mattered to him was taking my life. "Hey, that freak's trying to kill me!!", I yelled out. The officers were quick to react and sprung into action. Within seconds tasers were drawn and the pumpkin masked killer was brought to his knees.
I swear he'd been hit about six times; regardless of this…he kept coming. Now on the ground, he gripped his knife and began crawling towards me. The officers were in shock; meanwhile I was freaking petrified. He crawled and crawled, wanting so desperately to reach me. Thankfully, his body would succumb to all of the electricity flowing through his veins. As he passed out right in front of me; it was finally over. The cops cuffed him up and pulled his mask off. His face was covered in deep scratches and sores. His curly red hair was matted and covered in grease. Everyone could tell this guy was sick; maybe he was on something.
I'd soon be brought to the hospital where I received eight stitches in my back. In the following weeks a lot happened. I was questioned by police, got to pay my respects at the old man's funeral. But things culminated when the trial started. I testified and recounted the entire bloody story. Meanwhile the killer sat with a huge smile as I took the stand. It turned out that he was a nutcase who was extremely obsessed with serial killers. He idolized people that brutally murdered others and wanted to start his own legacy.
Thankfully his bloody dream would never be realized. As he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in an asylum. I'll never forget his final words to me before being taken away in shackles. "Goodbye my little piggie, I'm gonna miss you!!!". I'd never see him again after that. While I was relieved, my life quickly changed. I joined a gym and got into shape; I also started taking self defense classes. I even carried a concealed weapon in case all else failed. I refused to become another statistic. The terror that I felt that night would not define who I am. Next time I was going to be ready, I was going to survive…no matter what.

Hey so I’m an introvert. But I still sometimes like to attempt at chatting with people haha. And making friends hopefully (not very good tho).
I’m 22m from Canada ofc as the title says. I’m an introvert, I’ve never really had much friends ever. And I have a hard time making friends or at least a hard time making meaningful relationships idk.
I like gaming. I play on Xbox and I’ve been an Xbox guy pretty much my whole life. I play mostly halo and single player game stuff sometimes.
Soo, if you decide to message me come with low expectations. Idk how I’ll be really. Short term or long term is okay with me. I’m fine with whatever I just like chatting sometimes lol.
Also btw I’m drinking tonight so yea I just thought I’d let you know.

This is my first post here.
Altough I always have been interested in spirituality, my journey has begun some 5 years ago. With start I mean, looking at things differently. Feeling others energy. Receiving signs. Numbers, animals, finding things, feathers especially, synchronicities, you name it. Shifts happening around full moon or new moon. Meeting "bad" people which have pushed me to go way beyond my comfort zone. At the same time I've found some of the best people, they help me balancing the negative. I am growing in a very fast pace. It's painful yet amazing all at once. All of the above is happening to lots of people, there's nothing special about me.
My latest discovery is that my eye colour has shifted. They always have been brown. Now, I don't stare at myself very often but yesterday I did. In all available light, inside and outside. My eyes are now hazel. Brown around the pupils, green around the outside.
Have any of you noticed such changes in yourself?
Thank you!

I (20f) work at a local gas station in my town, I am a cashier. One day this lady comes in and says that the gas pump wouldn’t take her card, she was trying to pay first and then pumps. I tried explaining to her that we didn’t do pre-pay, she says, “no, I want to pay outside.” So I say, “okay, you have to pump first.” I told her this three times, and she eventually understood. A couple months before this incident, when I was working as the cook on the same gas station, what I am assuming is the same lady, comes in and goes to the register. She looks over to the kitchen to see no one is there, the counters were a mess (which I’ll admit is my fault). She proceeds where her neighbor (who also works there as the cook) because, “she’s a superstar.” As this lady is leaving, she sees me sitting at one of the booths. She gets up in my face and said something like, “You should clean your work area before your sit on your day ass.” Then she left. I said nothing to her before and after this, the cashier was there and heard everything. This lady comes in the next while my then boss is working the register. She says nothing to me or him. I told him what had happened the night before, and that I’m pretty sure it was the same woman that just left. He said that he would say something to her if she ever came back.

The "Law of One" is a spiritual concept that originated from a series of channelled messages from an entity named Ra. These messages were received by a group of individuals in the 1980s and compiled into a book series called "The Law of One" or "The Ra Material."
The Law of One states that all things in the universe are interconnected and part of a single consciousness or energy field. This means that all individuals, all planets, and all galaxies are ultimately one unified being, expressing itself in different forms and manifestations.
The Law of One also emphasizes the importance of seeking truth and love and the idea that each individual has a unique purpose in life. It teaches that all individuals are equal and should be respected and honoured as manifestations of the same universal consciousness.
The Law of One has gained a following among some spiritual seekers and new-age practitioners, but its validity and accuracy are a matter of personal belief and interpretation.
As a psychic, I use energy sense to look at all things in the world, thus being able to better understand the cause and effect of any event.
Although some might think of humans on Earth as an insignificant part of the universe, it is precisely this dust that is part of the greater whole. We have been conditioned for too long by the concept of "class division", leading to hostility, rejection, and even hatred of one another. This is wrong.
The energy that is emitted from consciousness/thought is contagious, impacting and impacted by both positive and negative energy.
This is why I always believe that "the moment a thought arises, all things are determined by cause and effect."
Everything that everyone experiences now, good or bad, is a combination of their own karma and the collective karma of all people.

Hello addicted gamers i wanted to share a build i thought of based on pulverize and a storm synergy since giving the tag earth to a spell will also give the tag "nature" to it.
​
First of all you can see the skill tree right there:
https://d4builds.link/xZjaHr
​
First of all i will explain active skills then passive one:
​
Active skills:
​
Wind shear 1/5 : A storm range attack that can apply vulnerable to enemies and give our druid some move speed.
​
Pulverize: Our damage dealer, we will upgrade it to earth using an aspect and another aspect will allow us to add a big conical aoe that deal +260% damage
​
Earthen bullwark: Give us a barrier = to 45% max Hp, make us unstoppable and fortify for 18%. A nice defensive cd.
​
Debilitating roar: reduce ennemy damage by 50% for 4 sec, fortifies our self for 22% life and heals for 4% max HP/ sec for 4 sec
​
Hurricane: An aoe that deal 17 damage and slow ennemies and have a 15% chance to make enemies vulnerable for 3 seconds.
​
Cataclysm: A big storm will follow us for 10 sec knocking back enemies and making them vulnerable
​
Passive skills:
​
Heart of the wild/ Wild impulses: +3 max spirit (:copium:) and our core skill will cost +15% spirit to deal 30% more damage: We have one spell used to clear the mobs and deal big damage, we need to max is damage output using this passive.
​
Predatory instinct: +9% critical chance to close enemy. I'm not sure about this one since the big damage dealer from pulverize will came from the shockwave, probably not the best point i can put into my skill tree but i'm not hyped by other one.
​
Elemental exposure/ Endless tempest: I just wanted +15% of duration on hurricane and cataclysm
​
Crushing earth: earth skills deal +15% damage to slowed, stunned, immobilized or knock back target.
​
Safe guard: Crit strike with an earth skill will fortify for 7% life
​
Stone guard: While you have fortify over 50% HP, earth skill deal 12% increased damage.
​
Defiance: +12% damage for nature skills to elite
​
Circle of life: Each pulverize will heal for 3% of our max HP
​
Natural Disaster: Earth skills deal +12% damage to vulnerable enemies
​
Resonance: Nature skills deal 6% increased damage. Triple this bonus if an earth skill is the next skill cast after a storm skill or if an storm skill is the next skill cast after a earth skill.
​
Quickshift: When i transform into a bear using pulverize it will deal +15% damage.
​
Defensive posture: +15% to all fortify
​
Earthen might: On lucky hit Restore all spirit and cause attacks to be critical for 5 secs
​
For the boons spec:
Deer: Wariness +10% reduced damage from elites
Eagle: +10% Max HP
Snake: lucky hit: nature skills have 15% chance to reduce the cooldown of cataclysm by 2 sec
Wolf (our spec): Lucky hit: Dealing damage have 15% chance to restore 10 spirit/ +25% duration on cataclysm
​
Then we have the aspect:
Helmet: Stormshifter: +2 werebear skills when hurricane is active
Chest: Ballistic aspect: +2 earth skills when fortified
Gloves: mighty Storm: storm skills trigger earthen might
Pants: Mending stone: +6 sec of earthen bulwark duration, killing an enemy will replenishes the barrier
Boots: Ghostwalker: Gaining move speed when unstoppable
2H Weapon +100%: Shockwave: Pulverize will make a shockwave dealing +260% damage
Amulet +50%: Natural Balance: Casting a storm skill will increase by 67% our earth crit damage for 4 sec, casting a earth one will increase our crit chance on storm skill by 18% for 4 sec
Ring: Ursine Horror: Transform our pulverize to a earth AND nature skill
Ring: Retaliation: +40% damage when fortified
Some paragon legendary have been datamined and we can get +85% chance to overpower with those under condition (that's why i don't use overpower in my build).
Do you have any idea about a change whitout loosing the storm side of the build? I will appreciate 60 days until realease. Good luck everyone.

This is supposed to be one of the best times our lives as MS4's. We are about to enter the specialty that we've been striving toward for the last 1-2+ years, enjoying the last few months before the slog of residency, and celebrating matching/graduating with the our family, friends, and loved ones. But instead I'm spending my days in my apartment alone packing up my stuff and my now ex-wife's stuff.
Out of nowhere a few weeks ago she let me know that she was done with the relationship and wanting a divorce. I've spent over a 1/4 of my life with this woman (almost 8 years) and made sure she knew how important she was to this entire process, but that didn't matter in the end. She has her reasons for leaving, but medicine and the lifestyle it entails is a part of it. She wasn't happy with the moving for school, or having to move again for residency, probably fellowship, and who knows where for a job. The constant building up a support system only to leave was hard for her. I tried my hardest to stay in our area for residency, but the match had other plans. She had also had enough of the late nights, early mornings, long weeks, lack of weekends, and being out of town for clerkships, that I was having as a medical student and was not looking forward to the increased workload that residency would bring. I honestly can't blame her. I fucking hate medicine and how much it has ruined my life up to this point. I can only think of the possibilities of where our life might be if I had decided not to pursue medicine at all. Would we still be together? Would she still be happy?
I don't know y'all, looking down the next 5+ years of training without my life partner is pretty fucking scary. I was hoping to start a family soon and now I'm single and starting residency thousands of miles away from family in a new state all by myself.
Everything just fucking sucks and I hate medicine right now.

I've driven a Chevy Volt for 9 years, so smaller sedans don't bug me much... Also drove a Chevy Trax and a Chevy bolt euv. In all of them the seat was fine, not amazing, but no complaints.
In my new model 3, I can't get to comfortable. Me left leg especially crams up after about 20 minutes of the bolster side wall digging into it. I'm 168lbs and 5'10. I wouldn't say large or overweight at all. It's like the bolsters start before my butt ends, so either my left side or right side must be slightly dug into by a seat edge. It's also so short it feels, like my legs don't get enough support since the seat ends earlier that I would like.
Not sure if anyone has had a similar situation and has found a fix? Maybe a specific car cushion or something that fits perfectly between the bolsters?
Maybe the model Y would have been a better seat, but everything I read and saw from test drives is that it is the exact same seat, just in a slightly higher position due to the pedastal under it.

Hi all, I have a problematic downstairs neighbor. We had issues because he constantly makes noise regardless of the time. He also blocked the staircase with his stuff so I cannot pass. He knocks on my door and he plays loud sound just saying —- move move. He also kept yelling in his apartment. The apartment complex is aware of the situation but they cannot do much. Is there anywhere in Ann Arbor I can take this issue? Should I go to police? I am mainly worried that he could try physically harm me.

I'm looking into MLBtv but i read that I can't watch my Yankees since I live in New Jersey. I don't really know how the blackouts work and I'm also really confused on what is and isn't broadcasted on MLBtv. Besides not being able to watch the Yankees and Mets, is there anything I wouldn't have access to? For example will the games that are streamed on AppleTV, and news channels like fox, cbs etc be available? I'm trying to get rid of cable, but I feel like I need to keep it for games on those channels and especially YES Network. Sorry if this is a lot it's just a pain in the ass to figure all of this out compared to the NFL lol

I'm 30, male, and on the spectrum. ASD "level one" as some would say.
I've noticed almost a "k-t boundary" of sorts with younger and older people, mainly between those who grew up on social media, and those of us who didn't, or did in their later teen years.
I spent the literally the entirety of school never been invited anywhere, except once to a homecoming party, and literally everyone turned to look at me as I walked in, as if some kind of "record scratch" moment.
A lot of "being left out" and major depression resulted from that.
There is too much politeness with folks 30-35 and younger. Often, if I have even slightly offended or upset someone, they won't say why, and this lack of feedback doesn't help me at all. 99.9% of the time, I have literally no idea what I did or said.
I also notice even if 10 people tell a dirty joke, I'm the "bad one" for saying one. I often feel like I'm always judged for my behavior, and can't deviate from Data from star trek. "An autistic person, able to understand and recall dirty jokes?! How dare they!" I'm not bad enough that I have issues "reading the room", and I'll even wait for someone else to say something provocative, yet I'm always the one judged.
The other issue with younger folks is ghosting. I first started experiencing this when selling stuff on Craigslist. Rather than say why they can't be there, they just..fall off the face of the earth. You'd have someone saying "I'll be there at 6", and 2 hours later, you look and they have vanished. Older people would usually have the courtesy to offer an explanation.
I found the same issue when dating. I met a girl online and talked on the phone to this girl for 3 months, then one day...gone. No indication from the conversation that she lost interest, met someone else, etc. People just seem...too afraid anymore to offend, so they instead make it even worse with false hope and leading on.
Older people just seem more intellectually deep and just nicer to talk to. I've talked to tons of people over 50, from my family members, to my dad's own friends, etc. Unlike younger people, they all take interest in what I have to say, and not a fake interest, the kind of "please stop talking to me" vibe.
Even when I was a young teen, I had more fun talking to older adults at family reunions.
Younger folks seem more insular. Unless it's sports, fashion trends, music, etc I often find them literally unable to talk. Many of them will not talk about themselves either, it's like their brain is filled with the thoughts of others.
I've literally struck up random conversations that have lasted 30 minutes with someone 50+, rarely does that occur with younger people.
While I don't like to generalize, and don't get me wrong, I get along well with younger people also on the spectrum, I find that many younger people are just "nice-ableist", meaning they will sometimes be nice to you, or talk, but always have an excuse as to why they can't hang out. I've been bullied, actively avoided, not invited to group functions, etc from younger people DUE to being on the spectrum. I can't recall a single older adult who has acted like that towards me. Sure, maybe some are stuck in their ways and may not "believe" in Autism, but they do their damnedest to make me feel included.
I've pondered on this for months and can't find a concrete reason, just theories.
I think the popularity of social media has eroded social skills, similar to how spell check has eroded people's ability to spell without it.
In that same vein, those who grew up on social media seem to lack "real life" social skills, which can be a burden to those on the spectrum. It's also ironic that everyone is told to "be yourself" yet I have to mask around NT's.

Why doesn't p[1]->sit() work? p[1] is a 'Dog' ptr created using new Dog and you are calling the Dog::sit virtual func.
(my understanding of virtual functions is that: if you have a Derived Class Object pointer and you narrow it by passing it to some method that expects a Base Class pointer, then and only then, are base class virtual function calls redirected to the derived class)
Here, you have a DC with an entirely new virtual sit() function so let's say we did: class Foo : public Dog { //define Foo::sit here and use }. How is a 'Dog' ptr that is NOT Narrowed to a Base Class being dictated by the Base Class VTABLE/Pet that contains only Pet::speak() and Pet::name()?
'Dog' ptr points to a Dog VTABLE and that contains Dog::sit so Dog::sit() should be called.

#include  #include  using namespace std; class Pet { string pname; public: Pet(const string& petName) : pname(petName) {} virtual string name() const { return pname; } virtual string speak() const { return ""; } }; class Dog : public Pet { string name; public: Dog(const string& petName) : Pet(petName) {} // New virtual function in the Dog class: virtual string sit() const { return Pet::name() + " sits"; } string speak() const { // Override return Pet::name() + " says 'Bark!'"; } }; int main() { Pet* p[] = {new Pet("generic"),new Dog("bob")}; cout << "p[0]->speak() = " << p[0]->speak() << endl; cout << "p[1]->speak() = " << p[1]->speak() << endl; cout << "p[1]->sit() = " << p[1]->sit() << endl; // Illegal } 

1. Inconsistant jump shots and dead bounce are meant to be broken, devs desinged it that way to balance the play of players. Both exist because of top pro players who remember every position in map will get the upper hand every time if the thing u guys call "BUG' is fixed. Both beginners and casual players will suffer because they cant win againt them, they will hardly make it into top 3 if miniclip fixed it.
2. Starting position is completly random for everyone that plays this game, i see no patterns and if u get a good position its ur luck and if not just play the game theres nothing u can do about. And good positining give the advantage by only 1 shot and max to max 2 shots if extremly luck and that also with p4 and a legendary ball.
3. Unable to see guideline behind the legendary balls??? ok just wait couple of secs and dont cry about other having legendary balls its really hard to get and most of maps starting positions dont need precise shots if u actually know where to hit and the ones that need precise shots are actually easy holes with 2 shots so there is no wasting of any time, one can easily pot hole in 2 within 30 secs.
4. New players need to play more in order to get more and greater rewards, see the game wants u to grind, it wants u to spend hours on it so they can make money and talking about multiplier for leaderboard i used to top my 'INDIA' country league every week with 3x multiplier and ranked missions is only for top 10% player with good multiplier, atleast 10x multiplier u need in order to compete with world top players.
5. Miniclip should seriously need do something about the slow motion thing, when it newly came it looked nice but now its just the waste of time. Because of this feature only....the devs need to compromise a lot of things like teleporting of balls, u cannot actually see how the player shot and how it went in, sometimes it even misses the shot but teleported to the hole instantly that makes it really impossible to find cheaters in game. "THEY ARENT HACKERS THEY ARE CALLED CHEATERS" stop giving them the respect they dont deserve.

PS. i've sent many mails to miniclip since last 5-6 years cus of other games bugs but they didnt responded and never will....

I just got back into OLD on some smaller sites after probably 10 years and I thought it would be cool to use zoom or gmail to do video calls instead of just giving random guys my number. I got the idea because I saw a bunch of people using it in their profiles on a site I joined that also verified peoples identity.
I had one guy agree to it on my very first OLD site I went on 2 months ago and it went great. We logged on zoom saw each other and had a great conversation, exchanged phone numbers and then set up a date. We didn’t end up continuing to see each other but iI liked it so much for 1. the safety factor and 2. seeing the guy was a real person that I wanted to make it a routine for how I dated in OLD.
Well fast forward since that one person every time it comes up one any of the sites I use its becoming a major faux pas /problem! I get any variation of the same outcomes as follows: Guy agrees with it and then claims to be busy &blows it off never does it, guy agrees then ghost me, guy calls me a scammer for asking, guy offers whats app number instead despite you cant block your number in whats app, guy gaslights me for asking and calls me paranoid, and the icing on the cake was a guy I really hit it off with …..
He wanted me to just give him my phone number when i said i rather see what he looked like. He agreed then when i came back online to chat with him he had blocked me. No lie my feelings were actually hurt this time. So what gives is asking people online to use video chat via zoom or another platform scammy sounding? and if so why? am i running guys off doing this? any feedback appreciated.

My husband is in love with my younger sister. And of all things, I found out about it on my birthday, which is also the day I died. But… I somehow traveled back to one year ago? The day I came back from the dead, I decided. This time, I have a year to seduce my younger sister’s man and marry him. Until then, I’ll get my revenge. But this guy… Why is he so perfect?

I'm looking for a code review on primarily my Javascript, as I don't have very much experience with the language. I'm trying to make my code more efficient and straightforward, because I feel like it's more complex than it needs to be but I'm not sure how to fix it. The CSS is a work in progress and the images haven't been included in the file for the sake of simplicity, so it might look a bit off. The JSON file itself also has some placeholder data mixed in with the real data. Thanks!

Hi there! 18+ only please!I'm seeking out a specific fandom RP, please read on if you are interested in doing an RP based on the Gainax anime P&S with Garterbelt!
Because I'm excited from the news of a possible season 2, I would love to write something based on this underrated fandom. I believe the P&S universe is perfect for OC-based stories, where we could create clothes-themed characters with similar powers to P&S, or they could be a fairly normal duo with no connections to the sort of adventures we see in the show and get into some other sort of hijinks.
Although I think OCs would work perfectly, I'd also be willing to play canon characters from the show if that is my partner's preference. If we do go with original characters however, I think it'd be fun to create a paranormal fighting duo similar to P&S, but with a custom plot and different circumstances rather than angels in Daten City.
I would like to try to match the energy of the show as much as possible while keeping it unique. I'm looking for a story with over the top action, with crude and comedic themes, but with a cute and cartoonish aesthetic like P&S. I also think we should incorporate the themes of show and explore a pair of characters who compliment each other with contrasting personalities who engage in all sorts of debauchery.
If there are any P&S fans out there interested and willing to give this a try, please send me a DM here on reddit! Please be aware that I'm looking for a partner who wants to have a discussion about the plot before we dive into any roleplaying and I'd like to move to Discord after a certain point.

So previously i have been paying rent with the between friends and family option. but today i accidently click on the business transaction instead. and it charges her "seller fee". now she is asking me to pay her the difference because " she isn't receiving the complete rent after paying the seller fee." is it on her or should i comply with her and pay her the difference? she also said that i can get the refund 20% of taxes if i tell them it was not business transaction plus she pays her income taxes for the rental and she doesn't need to pay twice taxes. and she need the total of $1000 record for my accountant. who's is in the wrong here?

I'm 21 and live at home with my parents while going to university and I come from a wealthy family, went to private school and go to a traditional and renowed university. Over the past couple of months I've started dating someone, M22, let's call him L, and I told my parents about it this week. They flipped. There where 2 major issues, we met on tinder, which my parents think is the weirdest thing and are very concerned about, and also he is an immigrant. He is from Peru (where I live they are usually working class and looked down uppon), my parents, specially my dad did not like this. As soon as i told them they started making jokes about stereotypes that i found to be offensive and borderline racist, I called them out in this but they didn't seem to care. I explained that he moved here 8 years ago, lives with his family, goes to university for construction engineering (but not to a prestigious school), has his migration status fully sorted out, he can vote and is just a very normal person. This did not matter, all they could focus on was where he came from and my dad said things like "my friends are going to make fun of me because of this". My mom now wants to meet him but I said no because of how they reacted, I don't want to bring him into an environment that clearly doesn't respect him and thinks less of him. They have continued to make offensive jokes while at the same time questioning if he is trustworthy and if it's safe to date him. I'm tired of them judging me and judging him, i think it's stupid and am fed up with their classism and xenophobia but I don't know what to do about it, please help me.
