  1. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I believe it's a story about a very disturbed person, so I will put it in here. Years ago, when I was studying Acting, I bumped into a fellow actress in a bar, next to our Academy. We had never till that point talked to each other, just passed through one another couple of times and we've known each-other's faces. We instantly clicked and it felt like we were friends forever. I just loved how funny and entertaining she was. We exchanged contacts and decided we will hit the bars again the next night. We did this and had so much fun. Then... one night, I got a message from her, that she was inviting me to her place, if I wanted to go and hang out. For little context, I am a gay guy and there is no romantic engagement here. I thought from... both sides, since I told her about my boyfriend the moment we met. She seemed like a very put together, beautiful person. And how BEAUTIFUL she was, like a million dollar face. Nothing in her seemed strange or out of the ordinary. I am one to catch warning signs and I move away at the first. I hadn't seen one from this girl... woman... up to the moment I went to her place. It was very late at night, but something a person in the early 20s do. She lived in a HUGE apartment complex, that had like 30-40 floors. It was massive and her apartment was at the top. She greeted me in her usual cheery, positive self and before we went to the apartment, we got to a store to buy some food and alcohol. We were going to listen to music, dance and shi-t-talk about past loves, probably. That's what I thought at this moment. Going to that place was a little creepy - the building was new and some of the floors - not finished, so the elevator or the stairs did not have lights on. It was very bizarre to be in that small elevator with her for... what seemed a long time. But when she opened the apartment I was blown away - it was SO beautiful. You could see the whole city. I was screaming of joy and telling her I would love to live some day in a place like this and that I felt like a character from Sex And The City. Fast-forward, she cooked and I helped her... She was sipping wine at that point and I did too, but didn't drink too much, since my throat was killing me. Couple of minutes in the conversation... while we were sitting in the middle of the living room watching the city lights... drinking and laughing... I noticed how after she started telling me about one of her ex-lovers... something switched in her. And not in the normal, I am so sad or angry type of way, she just seemed empty for a moment and was not responding to what I was saying. Of course I was trying to move away from that topic, since it seemed that it made her feel bad... but she was just not responding. Just staring and in silence for a loong time. I got little creeped out and asked her if she's okay. She started responding, and I thought - Well she's just an actress, they are kinda crazy. But yeah, not that level of crazy. She then all of a sudden looked at me and told me I had earlier offended her, when I smiled at something that she was telling me. I didn't even remember me smiling or the thing she was telling me. It was probably a normal reaction of a smile... that had no intention to offend her. I tried to apologize for something I didn't do, but she seemed to get angrier and angrier. Then all of a sudden she started changing topics and told me... BEWARE - that she loves me... that she wants me to move in with her and that I can live there for free. I was really shocked, since I had seen this person just a couple of times, I thought it would be a dance buddy for bars and she was so cheerful. Of course I said - Oh, thank you, but I am fine. I am okay in my place, bla-bla. But she was not receiving it. She started babbling about what our life will be in the apartment, how she will buy me lots of books and have me have a big library. I had previously shared I love reading. She even got one of the books from one of the drawers and gifted it to me, even though I told her I ALREADY have it. It was not just a drunk person... It was disturbing me and I could not recognize her from before. Her face seemed empty and then angry and then empty again. I tried to get out of the situation... and I started faking that someone wrote to me and I had to leave... Of course. You know the drill, we've all done it. But NO - I was not leaving her - she fell into a meltdown... hugging me and begging me to stay there just for the night. It was very late... like 3-4 in the morning and I was thinking how a taxi will destroy my budget... But I wanted to leave and was scared she will again tell me I had offended her with something... and start hitting me or something, since her body language was very OFF and my whole body felt threatened. I told her I had to go ASAP... and just stood up and went to get my coat and leave. The door was locked. She was now playing it off like she is joking and having fun with me not able to open the door. I was soooooooooooooo scared. She looked like a maniac at this point. The mood swings... her red mouth from wine... she looked like the Joker... Here I was - 80 kg male and I was scared of her - probably 50 kg woman. I ALSO had a huge problem - my battery died just seconds before I went to the door. No kidding. I had no battery and didn't want her to know that... since all kinds of stuff went through my head. I then proceeded to play it off like I would stay and just ask her to leave the key in and that there is no reason for her to hide it. I managed to make her believe I am staying... with me even faking that I will sleep in the next room and she making my bed and telling me how she wants US TOGETHER to BUY a PET DOG. Let me remind you - I have seen her 3-4 times before that. She was acting like I was THE LOVE OF HER LIFE. When I saw that the key was back in the door, I just waited for her to go to her room, thank god she did... and jumped for MY LIFE... basically, since I was horrified at this point... Opened the door... like I am in some kind of low budget thriller movie and started running away. NOW... A BIG BIG.. TWIST... - the elevator was NOT F-CKING WORKING. I started hitting the button and nothing happening. It may have been downstairs and just going up... but I heard her come after me. Then I proceeded to run and jump 30 something floor of stairs while hearing her scream in the dark, running after me - how WHY am I leaving... WHERE AM I going... AM I serious... ALL OF THE FLOOR STAIRS were only illuminated from the windows and the city. I nearly [!@#$%^&*] my pants. I managed to escape and hid between two buildings... then I got into a taxi and went home. As soon as I charged and opened my phone I had like... 10202039 messages from her. She was saying BIZARRE things and how my mother should die because what an awful person I am. I blocked her completely and she tried to write to me with fake profiles and ... the last of it was when I received a message that has left roses to say sorry in front of where I lived. Thankfully I moved out due to other reasons... and moved away... That was just when I was finishing my education and NEVER saw her again. From time to time I see her acting in some commercial and even a small role in a tv series. I hope she has taken some meds and cared of her mental situation. But yeah... if you see her - she looks like a complete catch - beautiful, successful, witty and normal... What I saw that night forever made me KNOW to never judge a book by it's cover. And I'm a gay guy that's been to some fishy places with men before... and nothing is compared to the horror I experienced that night with this girl.
  2. Last night I saw a social media picture of a friend of mine... which shocked me. She had previously lost so much on the Ozempic drug... and now she has gained it all back. I called her and in the matter of the conversation she, without even me asking, told me she is starting it again after she went off the wagon and just ate and ate the previous foods that she used to eat. I just told her that if that yo-yo effect is now supported by this drug, which she is only using for aesthetic reasons, she has no diabetes... doesn't she think that this is a no-end situation. I felt really sure that I will never do this myself, even if I had a thought couple of times thinking... well why am I always having to mind what I eat... while some people are like... eating whatever and losing weight. In the end I realized ... a drug can't fix an emotional problem like binge eating. I am not saying anything against the people who are using it though... it's just not for me after seeing what is doing to my friend. I am also understanding that SOME people NEED this in their life. They have diabetes and other conditions. I can't image how stressful this is to the body to yo-yo lose weight so many times. Healthy eating and exercise can never be replaced.
  3. I really want to hug the person that fixed the quality issue. THEY ARE FINALLY doing the right thing. Now if they really re-upload all the rest.. this youtube channel will become LEGENDARY.
  4. I AM COOKING MY FIRST LASAGNA PEEEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. From scratch. I was not that bad! It's IN THE OVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. It was better production wise than what we've seen lately. Kudos to Heather.
  6. I am downloading the raw file and converting to lossless mkv, no quality deterioration to 130 mb 1080 files. Do you guys what me to start adding them to the vault? Or do you prefer the original 300 mb files? As I said, no quality is lost. I am doing it in a professional program.
  7. Thank you! I am neither Hinn or Sinn. I am rooting for Binn. Brooke and Finn also known as Recycle Binn.
  8. One episode is like 300 mb when downloaded. It's amazing. I can't believe it.
  9. Guys it's official. They are indeed uploading in supreme hd quality. Wha a day this is. Wow. Congrats.

  15. You are legit a legend. Wow. Wow. Amazing. Can I ask one stupid question. Why is one season 360 plus episodes? Did I misunderstand something. I am sure its got a clear explanation, I just am in the dark . Thank you ☺️
  16. WE JUST FOUND OUR FIRST TICK. It was DISGUSTING and I managed to remove it intact. Poor dog didn't know what was going on and was thinking it's a belly rub time. For the past hours I've been searching his body for others and didn't find any. Will call the vet just to be safe with some questions. GOD DAMN.

  18. I guess I was mistaken... And thought this is a topic in which people are discussing Climate in general and articles about emissions and global warming. I wanted to start a DAILY weather rant topic. I see now only the first posts are about climate things and the others are daily postings. If the admins decide, they can delete his one or keep it. It's no problem for me.
  19. He is struggling to focus and to plot. The show is all over the place. When it's hot it's over the top, burn your fingers type of hot... where everyone looks exaggerated and animated, when it's cold - it's boring, and repetitive. Nothing is finished from start to finish with build up, climax and end. I am sure that just when Hope and Finn will be in love, ready to marry or something like that, Sheila will jump out from a corner and reveal that it was all a scam. Then we'll be stuck into a painful Hope, Finn, Steffy with Liam and Thomas sprinkled for taste. It will be no longer than a year and everything will be back to usual, Hope and Liam, Steffy and Finn. I am sure of that. It's a mindless no-endgame storyline
  20. I agree with you about the eventual hypocrisy. That scene worked only because of the history between the characters. If he re-creates something like this with Hope and Steffy, it will look like a cartoon. Steffy did all the seducing and tricks for yeeears... so they don't really have any difference at this point.
