I am considering making a career change into the GIS field. My ultimate goal would be to find a job in a local/state/federal position after getting a MS-GIST.
How does the Georgia Institute of Technology degree program look? MS-GIST
Benefit of that program is that I can take it part time and have it paid for (employee in the university system of Georgia) with the potential of a dual degree. Working on taking a Project Management cert through GT too, not sure if it'll help or not in the long run but it's free for me.

Hello. I hope you’re all well. I’m a Chemistry Bachelors graduate who got decent grades all my life, including university, and I went to a pretty good one. I graduated back in 2019 and took a few months off due to the loss of a loved one I never had the time to get over. I was never the best or brightest student but I gave every moment I had towards my study. Later on in that same year I started applying to some graduate schemes. I made sure I was eligible for them of course and because most of them were numerate based such as finance, I figured that while competition was to be expected, I should have stood a pretty decent chance. Unfortunately I didn’t seem to, although it’s worth mentioning at the time that my CV was nowhere near as good as it is now.
I was offered a couple of jobs in early 2020 but they fell through seemingly due to the pandemic. In 2021 I still had a lot of rejections but I lucked out with a lab job during COVID. I enjoyed the colleagues I worked with, though the job itself was not enjoyable and neither were a couple of supervisors I had to work under. Still, I’d like to think I gave it my all by doing my workload first and then seeing how I could aide others. It may not sound like much but it was for the most part, unskilled labour so that was the best I could do at the time. In any case, it was a contract role and we weren’t needed for very long as COVID started to die down. The job also payed minimum wage. Keep that in mind for later.
I kept tutoring for a while but lucked into another contract job, though I will admit it wasn’t really something I saw myself enjoying. It was a role managing data for a department of local government. I wish I could say more but it’s probably best not to. The pay was much better and I did enjoy the people I worked with from time to time, however the role was almost 100% remote and there was little to no mentorship for me in a department I couldn’t have possibly known about beforehand. I studied even on weekends to try to get to better grips with the job, but I’m afraid while I was grateful for the opportunity, I found it overall uninteresting and lonely, and again, I wasn’t remotely passionate about the sector I was working in. In case you were wondering, I had in fact applied for a different job at the council but was offered another job instead, so I wanted to see how/where I’d fit in and what skills I could contribute. My contract lasted a month longer than my employers initially intended, and they thanked me for my work when they didn’t have to (remember, I was an expendable temp), so I’m hoping that’s at least a good sign, but I agree that that job wasn’t for me.
The truth is I don’t really know what I want to do. I’m going to have to disappoint any detractors by saying that further study such as a Masters or PhD is out of the question for me unless it’s in the form of an apprenticeship. I don’t care enough about anything to put myself in more student debt and I know someone who has proven that more education isn’t a slam dunk solution. She’s done at least 2 PhD’s, having applied for jobs where the hiring manager told her she was more qualified than they were. One of her PhD’s was in my own subject - Chemistry. All the jobs she wanted rejected her because “she didn’t have the right experience”, so now she’s the manager of a supermarket. Even if I’m destined to be a fool who doesn’t have his dreams fulfilled, I’d rather be a fool who got to save his money, not to say that she was a fool, mind you. She just loves studying, whereas I just want to get stuck into the working world. This is not to mention that people have rightly suggested that my pursuing any kind of further education, whether formal or informal, will, 1.) not make up for a lack of experience and 2.) make me come across as work-shy, meaning I look like I’m not ready to enter the workforce, even if I actually am.
I’m willing to work in science and have applied for some jobs that I am again eligible for, not limited to a medical lab assistant. I’m overqualified for a couple of those positions but I’m hoping that won’t be held against me. I’m satisfied with the pay and do see it as a fantastic learning opportunity regardless. I even have at least a couple more in mind that I will apply for in due time. But my interests vary. I’m willing and eager to learn more about technology and/or finance. Whichever path I am able to go down, I see myself learning a valuable life skill that everyone should consider learning as technology and financial management become more important both professionally and personally. Subsequently, I have been applying for tech and finance grad schemes, not limited to Data Analysis, IT Support and Accounting. All of which accept STEM graduates. I’ve been dabbling on Coursera and Udemy looking at qualifications such as the Azure DP-900, AZ-900 and the CompTIA A+ exam, but I know that passing the exams alone won’t necessarily help me. I even managed to teach myself SQL, but I know that disregarding luck, those alone won’t help me.
It’s an unfortunate conundrum because how else am I supposed to prove myself without experience I can’t get?
Thanks to this and an unfortunate run in with an unsympathetic career coach who actually thought I was worth less than minimum wage, I lost confidence in myself and subsequently my enthusiasm to study, although I’m determined to pick myself back up and at the very least, have not stopped applying. I never intend to work in unskilled labour again. I’m IT literate, well educated, have a decent work ethic, empathetic and I get on reasonably well with people. There must be something for me and yet I feel so useless. I feel like I am trying to make something of myself but I’m just not enough for this world. To say I feel behind at my age would be a complete understatement. I don’t want to give up on my life. I’ve come so far, I have other ambitions, again both professional and personal and there are people who believe in me. It’s just unfortunate that right now, I couldn’t blame them if they were disappointed.
P.S. It may be obvious that my self-esteem has taken a hit, but before anyone makes a suggestion, yes I am arranging to see a therapist about it, although it’s taking ages. Also for context, I live in a Western country.

My partner and I moved into this loft style apartment last summer. The building is two stories: top story has ten rental units and bottom is multiple larger commercial spaces. As far as I know the building is owned by the company we rent from. They are a real estate company that also have commercial and residential rentals. We are in the state of Washington.
Construction in the commercial spaces began in January. We did not receive any notices. It seemed to be focused in one small space at first. It was extremely loud as they were breaking up the concrete and obviously making some pretty large changes with pretty big construction equipment. We called our property manager within the first week asking what was going on and expressing how hard the noise made it to be at home. Our questions were dodged and the information we received back was minimal.
About two weeks in we were evacuated from the building by the fire department due to build up of carbon monoxide throughout the building. Apparently a worker below was operating or idling a concrete saw without proper ventilation. The property management never acknowledged this beyond a group text to let us know the building had been cleared hours later.
After this incident we started to get a lot more concerned not just about the noise, but for our safety. We noticed no building permits were posted. I did a little more digging into the city permitting archive and found that there were no active permits for that address. I brought this to the property managers attention and was told that they didn't need them. After a complaint to the local building and permitting department it was learned that they lacked building, plumbing and electrical permits for the site and they were given a stop work order. We assumed this would resolve the issue and at least make the situation safe even if construction continued down the road.
Not too long after we were awoken at one am to the sound of drilling in the building. We called our local crime check line and my boyfriend went downstairs and confronted the workers. They barely spoke English and were very scared the authorities were called. The Forman showed up and expressed that they were told to work in the night when no one was around. We were fed up with the whole thing. The next day we had a conversation with the property manager and let them know what we had seen, that we knew they had no permits and a stop work order, and that it was unacceptable. They said if we did not feel safe at the property we could discuss an early termination of our lease.
Taking a couple weeks to talk about our options my partner and I decided it would be best for us to leave. The construction has continued during this time. During the day its pretty much impossible to enjoy our apartment and we pay quite a bit. The lack of sleep and anxiety from noise and sketchy construction work has started to effect us both mentally. We made a call to the same manager almost two weeks ago saying we wished to move forward with the option of lease termination and were told they would get back to us in two days (that Thursday) with more information and another contact within the company to work with. We never received any word or contact. We sent the manager an email mid day Thursday to check in and after still nothing sent an email to anyone in the company we could find involved on the rental side. Including one company owner. The final email expressed our frustration with the lack of communication, the continuing construction despite lack of proper permits and a carbon monoxide exposure to all residents and our desire to end our lease because of an environment that we feel, because of construction ,is unsafe. And still one week later no reply.
We feel like we have tried everything. Earlier in the week we publicly posted videos of our apartment with extremely loud construction audio with the companies instagram profile tagged. Two days ago we called and left a message requesting a callback. They are ignoring us. We have come to terms with the fact that we will have to possibly obtain a lawyer to help us navigate the situation.
I apologize. I know this is a lot of info. Just looking for advise. I feel like we have enough reason to legally break this lease. My partner and I both feel they are not doing their jobs as landlords to provide us a safe and reasonably enjoyable space to rent. Any information helps!

I am really in desperate need of professional and experienced opinions in regards to school. Please any thoughts or opinions would be great.
Background: Currently been working in a professional Landscape Architecture office in Canada for about a year after getting BLA from Canadian school in 2022. I have always loved the architecture side of things so applied for 3 Canadian M.Arch programs a year ago, but didn't get in. I worked for the year and reapplied in this cycle with a better resume and portfolio to five Canadian schools and one American. I thankfully got into the one American (Georgia Tech), and so far have one Canadian rejection. Coming from Canadian schooling (and especially Canadian tuition) the international tuition for GT has come as a shock to me. The program is everything I could want with A STEM designation and technically oriented. I have spoken to current students who have said TA possibilities could lead to stipends that pay for the semester but I'm not sure how much I can bank on that.
I question is, would it be worth it to take on such a large student loan? I of course haven't heard back from four other local schools, but assuming they either don't answer (by GTs deadline of the 15th) or reject me, I don't want to spend another year of my life applying and waiting.
Would taking on a tuition plus rent debt of approx 200k (CAD) be worth it and easy to get through in Canada or the USA with todays job market in this field?
It's a really big decision so I would love to get some opinions! Thank you!

I'll start with some context, I have my Bachelors of Social Work and I am currently in school for my Masters of Social Work (graduating this May fingers crossed. I was looking for part-time jobs in my field to gain some experience and stumbled upon ABA therapy. The job posting mentioned no real qualifications were needed only a high school diploma was required. This did not make much sense to me but the job was posted at $22 so I applied and soon got the position. I started mid-November of last year (2022). I have one case who I see 9 hours a week. They are 16 years old and have been in ABA their whole life (basically). I don't do traditional work, we work in the community (local mall), some days, working on interactions as well as generalizing most topics. Its been fun and good money. I am having trouble with the, what I believe to be, is the affects ABA has had on them. They read my facial expressions for the right answer, changing their answer to what they think I want to hear. This goes with anything! This means I can't really get a direct and true answer out of them, its a bit frustrating. Now, since my education is not with children with autism, I am a bit out of my realm. Recently, I have found myself getting frustrated because I feel that since I don't truly know all the work that goes into this work, we have hit a hardblock in terms of progress. Their parents like me and tell me often that they notice progress in how he speaks to others, I dont. Lately I have been dreading work since I see them 3 days a week 3 hours each.
Should I ethically leave this case? I do not dislike the client at all and enjoy seeing them but lately the days drag on and the program that is in place is not what they need AT ALL. Do you guys think leaving the case before my graduation is smart? As well as how much notice should I give before leaving a case?

"There is no ethical consumption in capitalism" may be a little extreme, but there are definitely companies that I think are just so egregiously evil in every category. It'll be handy to just know which ones to avoid without looking them up or carrying a list. Whether labor, environmental, tax evasion, or other reasons, please submit your Top 10.
Here's mine (some companies are undoubtedly more evil than a few on this list, like ExxonMobil, but it's also not practical to avoid gasoline... this list is more about companies that we can easily identify and avoid):

1. Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, other Elon Musk companies. This daddy-made billionaire openly takes pride in union-busting. His cars and spaceships benefit the wealthy, depend on massive tax subsidies to survive, and are bad for the environment. He flaunts supporting coups in Bolivia, and makes bank off of Congolese child slaves to mine his conflict minerals. Alternative: Buy cars made by unionized companies. Buy used cars. Or better yet, take the bus or ride a bike!
2. Amazon, Whole Foods, Washington Post, other Jeff Bezos companies. This daddy-made billionaire is also on the front lines of union-busting and works his workers to the bone. Remember the poor workers who got killed in an Amazon warehouse from a tornado because they were told to stay put instead of evacuate? Remember the poor drivers who have to pee in bottles, and then Jeff Bezos lied about that? Buying Washington Post is also a direct threat to a free and open media. Alternative: Shop local. Plan ahead.
3. Walmart. I know that this is a tough one for people who might not have many other options. But for food at least, maybe try to shop at farmer's markets, co-ops, etc. (and ask if they take food stamps/EBT - a lot of them do!). Alternative: Lots of others.
4. Apple. Uses Chinese slave labor, conflict minerals, etc. Opposes the right to repair. Intentionally made older iPhones so slow as to become unusable. Alternative: Android (run by #6, Google, which isn't much better...)
5. Nestle. Literally steals clean water from those who need it the most. Lies about formula being better than breastmilk. Alternative: Just look on the back of a package to see its logo.
6. Google. "Do No Evil" my ass. Gmail may be free and convenient, but have you ever wondered how does Google make money? YOU are their product. All of your information is read and sold by them. Google mines your emails and sell the info to marketers. Google cooperates with the government to spy on you. Also did a mass layoff just because they could. Alternative: Private, paid email services. Use DuckDuckGo or other search services. Use your browser's private mode, delete your browsing history & cookies whenever possible.
7. Disney. Steals others' ideas and then pimps product lines as its own. Look up "Kimba the White Lion" on Wikipedia. Look up "María Salud Ramírez Caballero" - Disney (Pixar) interviewed her, took her photos, made her into the Mama Coco character, lied to her saying they'll take care of her, and then told her to fuck off. Disney also fires American workers and replaces them with foreign indentured servants. Alternative: Read books, essays, go out and play sports, organize a union, watch something else. Trust me, you'll survive without their garbage brainwashing.
8. Microsoft, Adobe, other big software companies. They seek to corner their respective markets, then turn their products into a "service" for which you pay rent - forever. You don't own anything, you are just a cow to be milked until you die. Alternative: Lots of other software companies out there which offer similar apps, including much lower cost & free/open source options.
9. Uber, Lyft, and similar "tech companies". Their whole business model is to exploit labor law and market regulations. They control the how, where, when, etc. of their workers' jobs, but then claim that their workers are not employees to avoid paying wages & benefits & taxes. Their workers are also shouldered with all the liability (e.g. crashing their car) that comes with their jobs. Alternative: Call your local taxi company. Use a restaurant's own delivery service, or go pick up the food yourself. Make your own dinner. Plan ahead.
10. Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, basically any huge national bank. The only question to ask is, why haven't these evil, pieces of shit banks been taken apart, and all of their executives locked up in jail? Because they control the government through their lobbyists and "donations". From mortgage fraud, to predatory fees that screw over their poorest customers, to even faking accounts of its own customers, there is no low that they won't go. They are also horrible to their employees, and pressure their employees to prey upon customers. Remember, a poor robs a bank and they get 5 years in federal prison. The bank robs a poor and nobody gives a damn. These cancers upon society should 100% die. Do your part and take your money out. Don't get loans from them. Don't give them any business. Alternative: Lots! Local community banks. Credit unions. Online banks (make sure they're FDIC insured).

Tell your friends & family. Spread the word. 1 person won't make a dent. But 1 person who tells 10 others, and they then tell 10 others each, will eventually cause these evil companies to collapse and die. Do your part.

Hi, I'm a 28 y/o Asian guy living in the south-central Texas area.
To be upfront about myself, I work a pretty stable successful tech related job and I'm a nerd. I love nerdy hobbies, I like drawing, and I like video games. But at the end of the day all the things I love doing are indoors. On more than one occasion I've tried going out and meeting people, acting social, and so on, but quite honestly its just a miserable experience even if things are going well and we're having fun. I just genuinely would rather be at home. However, being alone all the time gets, well, lonely. And I'd really like a girl to spend time with again.
I know there's girls out there who are as anti-social as I am, but finding them is hard, which is why I'm making this call out to any local girls who are equally as anti-social as I am. Really, I'm looking for someone who has that nerdy side to themselves as well and we can get along with our shared hobbies and desire to stay indoors.
If any of you gals hate meeting new people but still get lonely, maybe lets give it a shot together? Throw me a message, would love to chat for a bit and maybe grab some dinner if you're local. Or maybe would could play some games together if that's more your style.

So we have these weird neighbors across the street. They moved in a couple years ago, about a year after we moved in here. They're a younger couple but come across as kind of strange, sorta hipster type but have a very weird vibe to them. Not many people give me the weirdness but they definitely do, I've only talked to them a few times.
The local Rumor is that they're swingers (I don't care what consenting adults do with each other). I only mention that part because it's a very rural farm area in the mid-west. The town is just under 5,000 people and it's the biggest town in at least a half-hour in any direction. So the rumor mill is brutal around here sometimes.
The first time we met them was when we had some friends over for a small party. They saw the cars and figured it would be the perfect time to come introduce themselves. Basically they just showed up uninvited and crashed our party, and brought a bottle of cheap vodka. We were cordial and invited them in, but they just struck us as really off.
Then last summer we noticed other people living there. Whatever, I really don't care. One day I had the camper parked out on the street getting it ready for the weekend when I heard a woman yell loudly "Do you have an air compressor?" I looked over and it was a woman about early 60s looking across the street at me. No "hey, excuse me" or anything to get my attention first to make sure she knew I was listening, or, you know coming over and introducing herself first and asking for help. She just yelled out across the street at a complete stranger working on his camper with her question. She had a flat tire. I did inflate her tire and she did at least say "thank you."
We've had a lot of snow this winter. I've seen some other 20s looking dude out front shoveling the snow. Then one day a couple weeks ago I was out front trying to clear the ice off of the sidewalk. The dude came out of the house grumbling loud enough for me to hear with a woman just inside the door yelling at him. I don't know which woman it was. I didn't hear everything she was yelling at him as I kept doing my own work. What I did catch was something about him not having a job. I mean she was really going at him.
Then today about 11 AM I took a break, I work from home, and took the dog for a walk. As we were about a block away from home coming down the sidewalk I heard a woman crying. But not, like, real crying. Like a bratty 10 year old having a meltdown. It sounded kind of like a 'waaaa' feeling sorry for herself kind of crying. I looked over and there was a middle aged blonde woman. She was walking up the sidewalk on the other side of the street carrying 2 large reusable shopping bags full of something. Mind you, she was being super loud about it, she was a good block away when I first heard her. Then she yelled "I'm so pissed off!", did the weird cry a couple more times, then turned and walked into the house across the street.
When I told my wife about it she had the same thought I had. That she was wanting me to come ask if everything was all right. Like in some weird, narcissistic, passive aggressive, childish way. I don't know what to make of it. Like, how do some people not have any shame?

Some info/backstory, I (23M) do still live with my mom, I went to a local university and my mom let me live with her to save money. I know some people will ask this, no I do not pay rent to her, but I do pay for my own phone, car, clothes, food, and I did pay for my own tuition, so my life isn’t 100% supported by her. I’ve always been happy to help her with whatever she needs, cleaning the house, taking care of her dog, and house sitting when she goes away for extended periods.
A couple of weeks ago my mom said that in late May (2 months in the future as I’m writing this) she has to leave for 8 days on a business trip and I have to watch the house. For clarification, she didn’t ask me to watch the house, she said that I have to be in town to watch the house when she’s gone.
Again, I’ve done this before and it’s been fine, however I’m trying to move in with my gf ASAP, and getting a full time job in the town my GF lives in. My gfs town is about an hours drive away from the town my mom lives in.
Because I’m trying to get full time work in my gfs town and move in with her ASAP, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch my moms house in May. I don’t think a job would let me take 8 days off after less than 2 months employment. My mom is aware that I’m trying to leave, but that hasn’t been swayed in her belief that I still need to watch the house, but I truly don’t believe I’ll be able to. So WIBTA?
P.S. If any of you are wondering about my dad, he’s been married to another woman for 20 years and lives in another town that’s a 80 minute drive away from my mom.

Warning: Whining ahead
I've heard the average EMS career lasts for seven years. Six shifts into my internship, I'm already hoping mine lasts less than three.
I got my EMT in 2021 on a whim, feeling lost after a major life shakeup due to covid instability. I had met some people who I very much admired and decided to try what they did for a living. My school had somebody from the local private IFT company pitch us on working there so I applied and got on almost immediately after finishing. Worked BLS IFT for almost a year with a partner who I became good friends with. Him and I decided, fuck it, lets go to medic school ASAP. I wasn't a star student but I made it through didactic and did well on the finals. My dog died halfway through. My partner and friend failed out near the very end.
Did my clinicals at a rural hospital an hour away, 0700-1900, and loved it. I loved bouncing around the ED, doing IV's for everybody, helping out during codes, pushing drugs, cardioverting, etc. The shifts were long but there was always something to do, pts to see, and opportunities to learn. I left optimistic about working in the field.
That optimism has almost completely dried up. I am on a 911 AMR rig in rural adjacent suburb, 1500-0300. I thought that wouldn't be too bad of a schedule but in reality my body hates it. I feel like shit every night and every morning and I already know that I cannot do this kind of schedule for an entire career. I am physically fit but I'm 31 years old. You only get one spine, and it's worth more than what paramedics get paid.
My preceptor is a nice enough guy but he exemplifies everything I want to avoid. Late 50's, been doing EMS for 30 years. Bad back, overweight, jaded to the public. Spends all his downtime scrolling tiktok and facebook consuming rightwing ragefuel and getting worked up about culture war issues. I do my best to be a naive, opinionless grey man with him because I'm there to learn the job and not debate about drag shows or reparations or how nobody wants to work anymore or whatever the fuck. It's starting to eat at me.
On top of that, I feel like I sorta suck. Maybe I'm being overly self critical. Everybody starts somewhere but my zero-to-hero education rush has me out here with no prior 911 experience and I think it's palpable to everyone from the fire medics on scene to the nurses I give report to. I might have more formal schooling, but the EMT I work with has more practical wisdom from her 2.5 years experience. All I can do is keep sponging up knowledge, keep studying, and be open to critique. I'm terrified of fucking up in a critical moment, blanking on a dose during a peds call, fumbling equipment.
That's assuming I ever get a critical call at all. I definitely had a romantic and unrealistic idea of what working 911 would be like. In school the scenarios were always challenging and important. In reality people call for the dumbest shit and I hardly get a chance to get an ALS contact at all. Doing a whole 12 hour shift unpaid and getting zero progress on my grad report blows.
My life outside of work and the medic program feels stagnant and meaningless. I'm living in a city I moved to during the pandemic and I know I will be leaving as soon as I have my P-card. I have developed acquaintances but no deep friendships. I feel like the people I want to connect with most are drifting apart from me. My girlfriend, who I live with, has a new job where she is gone traveling over 50% of the time and I feel like we are becoming strangers. Our beloved dog passed on and the house feels so quiet.
The final piece of this silly puzzle is that due to good timing and the COVID bull market, I'm now sitting on a windfall of cash and investments worth enough to let me quit and travel the world for potentially years. Almost nobody in my life knows this and it feels very odd to be suddenly rid of most financial worry while my EMS coworkers are almost all caught in a brutal paycheck to paycheck cycle. As soon as I finish I am taking a long international sabbatical. I should be thrilled but for some reason it feels like a guilty dirty secret.
Maybe I should've posted this on /offmychest instead. I typed all of this out as a way to ground myself and I think it may have helped.
I am going to finish internship. I will pass NREMT and become a paramedic. When I'm on shift, I never complain or have a bad attitude, in fact I try extra hard to be smiling and positive. I ask questions and take notes. In my head though, I'm already trying to plan my next career move out. If that move is to stay in medicine it will almost certainly be to get my RN. I don't have any delusions about it being more enjoyable, but at least the pay is better.
Thanks for reading, hope it doesn't sound absurd.

Warning: this is a long story and no way to do this outside of parting it out. I have held this in and just finally trying to tell my story. Part 2 to follow soon.
I have scrolled here for years now. Hyper scrolling the last several months. And now it’s my time to tell my story. It is long. It is arduous. It is infuriating. And painful. But here is part one and more to follow:
I knew my WW from childhood. I moved around a lot and met in daycare in kindergarten. I moved away and lost contact for many many years.
Around 2011 a old mutual friend of our mentioned her. I made it my goal to find her. And I did. I’m February 2012 we reconnected at a concert and started a great friendship. We went to shows and festivals together, talked a lot. I was blind and couldn’t see she was into me. I’m an insecure guy and really didn’t think somebody this cool and yes, hot as fuck, would be into a guy like me.
We went to Red Rocks and saw our favorite band as friends. And there seemed to be something there but I couldn’t tell. She had recently gotten out of a relationship a few months before hand and I just didn’t see myself as cool enough for her.
Fast forward to December 2012, we started dating. It was truly incredible. Connection was amazing. Sex was out of this world. We shared so many of the same goals, values, beliefs, interests. It was all amazing.
The next few months she moved in with me, around mid 2013. I was living with my mom but she didn’t care and neither did we. Looking back this is when I should have run…..
She was flighty with work. Multiple jobs would come and go. I caught her talking to another guy, but it didn’t seem inappropriate to me. Whatever. She was still friends with a few exs which never bothered me anyways, I always remained cordial with my exs so just found that to be natural and normal. Again same values and beliefs right?
She eventually moved back home with her mom and we lived apart but dated for about 3 more years. I went back to college and she worked here and there. We saw eachother often, weekends, time off, all that. Still went to shows and festivals and spent all our time we had free, together.
Then in 2015 I proposed to her. She said yes!! It was such a beautiful day. Dreams coming true. We began planning our wedding while I finished with college. By this time we’re both 26. I graduate college in December 2016 and I move to her hometown and we move in together in our own place in January 2017.
I abandon my dream of law school to support her and us and take a job at a sand which shop and then get a great job at a local college admissions office. The year goes by and towards late 2017 we began discussing more about sex and all of that. 5 years I’m sure it got kinda stale right? So we talked about swapping, and open relationship kinda stuff but never fully agreed to it. I left around christmas time to head home and see some family and friends for a few days. I come home, to our home, and she admits it: she slept with somebody while I was away. I was floored. Shocked. How? Why? Who? Where?
She cried in my arms and begged for forgiveness and promised so much. She felt horrible, so horrible, that despite her (and mine) high sex drives she just became reclusive. Called herself terrible names and words and was down on herself constantly. I have reassurance. I loved her. It was a mistake. Things happen. It’s ok. I still love you for you and this doesn’t define you. Boyyyyy…..
I let it go and didn’t care it had happened. Told her it was heartbreaking but not love breaking and we doubled down on our engagement and I felt truly connected again and finally tied the knot in April 2018.
Our wedding was incredible. Absolutely beautiful. She was stunning. I sobbed seeing her walk down the aisle. She was gorgeous. More beautiful than she had ever been to me. My wife. My someone. My love. My forever. My always. My moon to my sun. Surrounded by love and family and friends, we danced and sang and drank and loved the night away.
We woke up the next day riding so high on life and love. And the months that followed were filled with memories I cherished. It was beautiful in every way.
And by November of 2018 it became even more beautiful. While not overly romantic in how it happened, she got pregnant (bent over the counter on my lunch break while making me lunch). We were having a child! Unreal the emotions and feelings that brought on.
The next 9 months I cherished so much. Fed her all organic diet. Cooked every night. Went to all the appointments and worshiped her. We bought a house in April 2019, moved the stuff in all by myself with my best friend. And those months between then and the child arriving were just absolute bliss in every way. We connected more than ever and bonded over the future. The bright loving beautiful future we would have together.
July 2019 our little one arrived. They are absolutely beautiful. We cried so hard seeing them for the first time. Absolute perfection. Our life had come full circle. How lucky we were. A home. Eachother. Our little one. Nothing could top that.
And then the months after went by and sure I failed to recognize the postpartum for what it was. I slacked in the sex department not for lack of attraction, I was and always was highly attracted to her, but because she became distant and isolated from me.
And that’s when the horror began…late 2019 into early 2020 before the pandemic hit. And that is where part 2 will begin.

Thanks to everyone who recommended the place. My impressions:

• Place was a little tight space-wise, but otherwise clean.
• The guy who did my piercing (Kasen?) was fantastic and took the time to help me get the positioning perfect.
• The online waiver thing was a bit of a pain but I get it.
• Also, was a tad irritated that they had run out of both saline and Bactine for sale; was able to get sterile wound cleaning saline at Duane Reade but still...it's the kind of thing they should have in stock.
• Also, despite what the waiver form said, I did NOT get printed aftercare instructions. Now, it's just a regular lobe piercing but it's the kind of thing that would cost them next to nothing to have typed up and printed all as one sheet--piercings on one side, tats on the other.
• I was told that I could swap out my jewelry after two weeks as long as I kept SOMETHING in it 24/7 for 6 weeks, but I've seen many more places that suggest a longer heal. It actually didn't even bother me to sleep on it after the first night, which really surprised me (again, see below--when I had mine done as a kid they hurt like hell forever) so I'll leave the starter steel stud in longer.
• They had a lot of jewelry for all kinds of piercings but only two choices for regular lobe piercings. Neither were flatback. No biggie, the $30 that I paid included the jewelry and the piercing.
• They didn't use a gun and my piercer really did an amazing job. When I had my ears done as a kid with a gun at the mall, my ears were black and blue and it took forever for them to heal. This was so fast I barely felt it, and the positioning was perfect.

So, if you need a simple piercing done locally, I can recommend this place. Thanks everyone again, and also thank you to whomever recommended Maison Miru for cute single studs that are also flatbacks. Thanks again! And yeah, for anyone considering...do NOT ever get your earlobes done with a piercing gun. Ever. Night and day.

I see a lot of questions in here about advertising. I mainly advertise on Facebook. I made a page for my business and I put all my advertisement posts on there then share them to my personal Facebook. I’ve gotten business from friends and friends of friends.
I also share the posts to the local neighborhood group, the local LGBTQ group for my city (people like to hire within the community), and the page for dog owners in my city.
I don’t even service the majority of the major city I’m next to because I’m in the suburbs but I’ve had a lot of success posting in these groups. I’ve gotten many jobs from it. And sometimes clients I haven’t added on Facebook or anything are in the groups and chime in to give me reviews in the comments!

I’m currently breaking about two hundred NDA’s by posting this here, including some that stipulate decades, if not longer jail time for me and worse, but frankly, whatever happens to me isn’t as important as getting the word out. Getting this warning out, to all of you who live in the United States, and perhaps the entirety of North America. If I attempt to leak the information I have anywhere else, the people in charge of making sure things like this don’t get out will sniff it out in a heartbeat and erase it from the internet completely. So, I’m posting this here, on a place that is one of the last they’d possibly look, in hopes that enough people see it, and can warn others, while there is still time.
I’m not going to tell you my real name, or what company I work for, as that would be detected by those that sweep the internet for such things, and would send up the warning sirens all around. It, along with the other people’s names I will need to use, will be changed with fake names.
But, what I can say is that I’m a very high level scientist who works at a corporation that deals in large part with genetics, and genetic engineering, among other things. One which has a lot of notoriety and acclaim in the world. Roughly about two years ago, as the rest of the world was in lockdown due to the pandemic, the company I work for was approached by the federal government, specifically the Department of Defense, to assist a top secret project they were undertaking for something which the paperwork referred to as Project Varanus. Only about half a dozen scientists and geneticists, myself included, were selected for our knowledge, skill, working speed, and most importantly, the ability to keep our mouths shut. They sat us down in the conference room of our building, and after giving only a vague interpretation of what task they wished us to assist them with (In the words of the stooge who spoke of the three of them, “To assist with our project on the genetic scale”), they shoved Non Disclosure Agreement after Non Disclosure Agreement under our noses to sign. The only reason we didn’t question, was because of the amount of zeros that we were told would be on our personal paychecks. We would be wealthy beyond our wildest dreams. Greed always gets people in over their fucking heads.
After given twenty four hours to get our affairs in order, we were all piled into the back of a Sikorsky helicopter and taken to the local airport, where we were placed onto a military C-130. They didn’t tell us what state we were heading to, and most of us were too excited about the money and the opportunity to care, murmuring excitedly to each other during the entire course of the six hour flight. We landed at a private airfield, one which I’m pretty damn sure isn’t on any aviation map, and led us into a large, three story building made out of black metal just to the right of the runway. This turned out to be the barracks, what would become our home for the foreseeable future. And we weren’t the only ones there. There were at least thirty or forty other people, some which were also scientist, but curiously enough, as we learned, about ten or twelve of them were animal wranglers or animal behavioral experts. “So whatever we’re doing, has to do with animals” Yurik, a Russian transplant and fellow scientist and friend of mine whispered to me as the bigwigs gathered us all up after letting us drop of our personal effects.
“Apparently” I whispered back, “What do you think the project is?” He shrugged his shoulders. “You’ve got me, Dexter. I guess we’ll just have to find out, yes?” I nodded, and we both fell silent as we were led back out of the building, and through a grey metal door which was set into the side of a hill across the way. This turned out to lead down to where we would be working; an underground complex which had to have stretched out for at least a mile or more. As we entered the first clean room, we were met with the first big surprise of our arrival. Taking up its own clean room, which opened onto the one we stood in with floor to ceiling windows, was a supercomputer which, by all means, should only be in the rough blueprint stage. If you’ve heard of the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Frontier supercomputer, then you’ll know that it’s successor, the Aurora, is due to be completed this year, and will only be the word’s second exascale supercomputer. Except…it was already built a year or two in advance. The Department of Energy had leant the DOD it for this project exclusively. We all whispered in hushed tones as one of the men rattled off the system specs, which I’ll skip as many of you won’t know or understand them.
Then they led us to the second surprise of the day, and admittedly, even a bigger one than the computer. And, in my personal opinion, far more chilling. Inside a room which, unnervingly, had a row of cattle prods hooked into one far wall, along with, for some reason, a locked case containing what looked like shotguns, was another floor to ceiling window. The head big wig walked up and tapped the glass. “Our most durable glass, able to withstand a direct hit from a vehicle doing twenty miles an hour. We use it in secure rooms in the Pentagon” he boasted. For a moment, everyone looked around at each other in confusion, wondering why glass so strong would be needed in a lab setting. Until the three men stepped aside and let us finally see what the subjects of this project would be, earning more than a few gasps from myself and the others.
The room, or, I should more appropriately refer to as an enclosure, was made up to resemble what I can only describe as an Indo-Pacific jungle. I know, since I made a trip with my wife to that area of the world ten years ago. That wasn’t what had earned the gasps, though. It was what lay and stood inside the habitat. Instantly, I understood the name of the project, which, some bright bulb in the DOD hadn’t exactly been creative with. Varanus was the genus of the animal before us. Varanus komodoensis. Komodo Dragons. There were, from what we could see, about seven or eight of them; some were sitting and sunning themselves underneath the artificial lights mounted in the ceiling, while others lumbered around lazily, rivulets of drool hanging out of their mouths. As we stared in astonishment, the DOD men explained the goal of the project. According to them, they wanted to attempt to weaponize the lizards, using selective breeding, genetic modification and animal training, among other steps, to create the perfect killing machine for the black ops arms of the military in any location in the world. And it was our job to make that happen.
Things progressed slowly for the first three to six months of the project. We took genetic samples of tranquilized specimens and fed them into the supercomputer to map out the animals complete genome. Shockingly, it took the computer less than a week and a half to do so. Once we had a complete blueprint, we began removing genes and other molecular parameters that would hinder the new generation of Komodos to fulfill the parameters set down to us by the DOD. I won’t say every single thing we did, but I will, for necessities purpose, tell you some of the most important ones. Most lizards are cold blooded, meaning they can’t regulate their own body heat and need the sun to warm them up. Almost all lizards are this way, with the exception of one. The Argentine black and white tegu is the only known reptile which can regulate its own body heat, and thus, survive in cold weather without going completely dormant. Using genetic engineering, we were able to rack the tegu’s gene up to the point it could stay fully active all throughout the winter months and cold climates.
We also removed genes which limited the Komodo’s ability to see distinct shapes, and inserted ones which also boosted their visual range, allowing them to be able to see for at least half a mile away from them. We inserted chameleon genes to allow the creatures to naturally camouflage themselves for whatever location they would be dropped into. We heightened their sense of hearing and smell as well, along with increasing their skin density so that, short of a .50 BMG round or bigger, not much could penetrate their hides. The big one that the DOD wanted, though, was increased aggression. Komodo Dragons are already aggressive and territorial by nature, but for them, it wasn’t good enough. And so, for this, we inserted the testosterone gene from a bull shark, which has some of the highest testosterone levels in the animal kingdom, to boost their ferocity.
Finally, all the parameters we were set were reached, and through a complicated process which I won’t go into, for time sake, we began inserting the new genomes into the clutches of eggs that the females would lay, then returning them to their nests in the habitat. A few more months later, and the first genetically modified Komodo Dragons were born. And they were a complete fucking disaster. Some of the animals were born with mutations that made them die off quickly, such as missing two feet or, in one case, two heads. We realized we’d made a mistake and went back to the drawing board. After checking, double checking, and just to be safe, triple checking our work, we attempted again with a new clutch of eggs.
As the second clutch began to quiver and shake, everyone from us geneticists, to other scientists and animal experts, and even the ten man security staff gathered around the window in anticipation. The first egg cracked, and a black head poked out from it, its tongue flicking in and out of its mouth, tasting the air. A few moments later, more began to do the same, and as the first forced its way out of the egg, seemingly mutation free, we all turned to one another and applauded, cheering, patting each other on the back and shaking hands. “Congratulations, Dexter!” an animal behaviorist named Michelle said, smiling and giving me a hug. I’d developed a friendly rapport with her, and we had fast become friends. “Thanks, Michelle” I said, grinning back at her, “But now comes the test of time, to see how they do as they grow and mature” She nodded, and we turned to congratulate more of our colleagues. If we’d only known then what we did now, though, we’d have likely tried to incinerate the entire room while we had the chance…
The animals matured at an incredibly fast rate from then on, reaching full sexual maturity in less than a year instead of the normal eight to nine years, due to the genetic modification. They soon took up large amounts of room in the habitat, as the seven specimens which survived to adulthood; four males and three females, grew much larger than their natural parents, reaching lengths of about fourteen feet long, and likely weighing over five hundred pounds. We noticed a few new additions to the first generation Komods, as we came to call them to distinguish between the regular animals and them, such as their teeth having more of a shark like serrated edge to them from the bull shark genes, and a more mammalian like eye due to the chimpanzee genes for sight. Their natural skin color was dark black, much darker than their parents. And when they first camouflaged themselves, it was a sight that caused us to gasp in wonder. We had created a new subspecies, effectively, of the animal.
That was where the problems began. See, after congratulating us on our achievements, the DOD ordered us to begin the training process as soon as possible. They had some military skirmish coming up they wanted to give the animals a dry run on, about seven months out. And so, Michelle and the rest of the animal experts attempted to train them to attack on command. At first, it seemed they responded well to the orders, but very quickly petered out, ignoring verbal and visual cues. To make matters worse, they ended up turning on their parents, killing and devouring all eight of the natural animals during one night, which led us to walk into the lab the next morning, finding the glass splattered with blood and viscera. The Komods had been absolutely vicious on the recordings, moving as a pack to trap an animal at a time in a corner before quite literally tearing it apart. This gave us pause, as we didn’t recall putting in any increased intelligence genes into the animals, and pack hunting behavior was not only a sign of intelligence, but also a behavior not seen in Komodo Dragons. Everyone exchanged nervous glances with each other at this revelation.
That was about the time they…changed. They began to get downright eerie, if I’m honest. We would walk into the habitat viewing room, to find the animals standing still as a stone. Still, except for their eyes, which seemed to follow you all around the room, ones which began to seem far too human like and understanding. I know now that they were learning our patterns, our movements, sniffing out weaknesses and vulnerable spaces. Hell, you could be two rooms away, and still feel their eyes on you through the many layers of glass. They also began to camouflage themselves more and more, seeming to learn how to effectively hide themselves. When they stood still, it almost was impossible to distinguish them from the background. It was almost exactly the way the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World behaved, only, there were many of them, not just one. We reached out to the DOD to explain our concerns, but they were pushed aside like paper. The man on the phone told us that the three who had brought us here over a year ago, would be returning in two weeks to look at the specimens. “That is final” the gruff voice finished, before hanging up.
We were unsure of what to do. The animals hadn’t been trained, and their odd and eerie behavior was beginning to sow the first tendrils of doubt about what we had done into the backs of our minds. We had been too busy focusing on achieving our goals without stopping to think about the consequences, also preoccupied by the money we would be making. But we attempted to push the thoughts away. That’s when the next shoe dropped. As we entered the lab a week later, we noticed some, well, some things nestled in the old replica nests that once held the Komods themselves. I have to stress that, normal Komodo Dragons, it turns out, can lay up to 20 eggs at a time, which, between three females, would mean sixty eggs. There were closer to ninety eggs in total in the nests. “Okay, something isn’t exactly right here” Michelle said worriedly, gaining murmurs from the other animal experts. “They’re not supposed to lay eggs so soon, especially not this time of the year”
As we stared through the glass, one of the Komods uncloaked itself, the side of its head almost pressed up against the glass. “Fuck me!” I shouted, jumping back; I had been close to the glass myself, and when it had appeared, the two of us had almost been eye to eye with each other. That’s when Dietrich, another geneticist, dropped the bomb he’d hidden from the rest of us. Unbeknownst to the rest of us, he’d been approached by one of the bigwigs with a secret assignment. Apparently, there were two secret parameters that the DOD had asked for in the Komods; the first was an increased level of intelligence for problem solving and creativity skills using more chimpanzee genes. This alone caused everyone else to flip their shit. “Are you AND them out of your fucking minds?!” Clancy, one of the animal behaviorists screamed at Dietrich, “You basically engineered up the apex predator of apex predators, and then you gave it a fucking brain?!” Quieter than he had been before, he then told us the second secret parameter.
They had wanted to increase the animal’s lethality, and as such…had Dietrich insert the genes from one of the most venomous species of snake, the Black Mamba, into the Komods. One bite from the animals would be enough to insert enough venom to kill twenty full grown men. The discomfort and horror in the room was palpable. I quietly strode up to the man and asked him, in a voice quaking a little, “Do you have any idea what kind of monster you’ve created?” He merely stared at the floor and said nothing. I looked around the room at my colleagues, and at the security standing behind us. After a few minutes of deliberation, I opened my mouth and spoke. “We have to find a way to destroy these animals” I turned and looked at them, now all visible and staring through the glass at me. They all seemed to have their eyes on me, and me alone, and almost seemed to harbor a sense of anger towards me. I looked down and saw that the speakers which allowed the trainers to try and communicate with the animals had accidentally been flicked on. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they understood what I said…but that was ridiculous; they only understood basic commands, not full sentences. Nevertheless, I nervously flicked off the speaker, then turned back to the group.
“We need to find a way to destroy them” I repeated, and began to move across the room to the weapons locker containing the shotguns. That’s when the security guards stepped over to me. “I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t allow you to even attempt to destroy government property” the lead guard said, his face stony and lacking any emotion. “Are you serious?” I asked, dropping formalities. He repeated his sentence to me. I felt a rising wave of panic begin to overtake me as my mind raced with the implications. But, before I was able to do anything, I felt hands grab my arms from behind, wrenching them from behind. I felt handcuffs clench around my wrists and looked back up at the head guard. “You’re going to be placed into confinement until the superiors arrive here in three days, at which point they will decide a course of action for breaking subsection A303, paragraph 36, line four of your contract”
They led me out of the room, the other scientists looking both scared and upset at this abrupt intervention. As I left the room, I saw one of the guards rest his hand on the butt of his pistol while staring at the group. “There is to be no more discussion about the destruction of these animals” he proclaimed loudly. The symbolism of his hand on his gun was obvious. And then the door shut, and I was shoved forward. I was marched out of the lab and back across the ground to the barracks, where I was locked into a storage room with a toilet. Occasionally, a guard would bring me food and water, but they never spoke a word. I had nothing to occupy my time with but my thoughts; thoughts about the disastrous implications of those creatures down below breeding uncontrolled, or worse, escaping the military’s custody.
Three days later, as I sat on the floor with my head between my knees, I heard the door unlock, and looked up to see the guards in the doorway. Behind them lay two men in combat fatigues carrying assault rifles, and beside them were the three bigwigs, still dressed in their smarmy black suits and ties. I was pulled out of the closet and held by my arms in front of the three. “Doctor, doctor, doctor” one of them began, shaking his head slowly, “You disappoint us” He clucked his tongue. “We thought you, of all people would recognize the importance of such a project. The ability to create the perfect soldier, one that means not risking human lives and winning battles far more efficiently” I shook my head at him. “What you don’t understand is that, if you keep those animals alive, you risk something far worse and more disastrous for the area. Hell, the country, and maybe even the continent!”
But he didn’t listen. He waved at me. “Escort the good doctor down with us to see there’s nothing to worry about” he said dismissively, already turning away. This time, in between the two rifle carrying military police, I was marched back from the barracks to the lab. As they shut the door behind it, one of the suit wearing men locked the door out by pressing his hand into a scanner at the bottom of the stairs that I hadn’t noticed before. When we entered, all eyes turned in our direction, and I could see the guards had been forcing them to continue working under duress. Many looked like they hadn’t slept in two days. On the bigwig’s orders, we were all forced into the observation room. When we entered, I noticed something that nearly rooted me to the spot. There was only two Komods visible in the center of the room. Both lay slumped on their side, their eyes open and unseeing.
Instantly, the head suit turned to the guards, his face turning red. “You allowed two of them to die?!” he shouted at the head of security. The man’s face turned pale as he stared in confusion. “N-No sir!” he stammered, “They were up and moving about not even an hour ago!” But the suit wasn’t comforted. He rounded on Michelle and Clancy. “You two, are going to go in there, under the supervision of two of the guards, and you are going to attempt to revive our property” he hissed. They began to protest, but then the man shouted again. “If you do not do as ordered, by the power given to me in your contract, I will have the ability to have you executed for subordination!” The two animal behaviorists looked shocked at the man’s words, but still didn’t move. Not until the security team pulled their pistols out of their holsters. Michelle began to cry, and Clancy attempted to comfort her. But the suit strode forward, grabbed the two of them, and roughly shoved them towards the habitat door. “Now!” he barked.
Michelle stole one last look my way, her eyes rimmed red with tears and fear, and then, with the two security guards holding cattle prods behind them, they were forced into the habitat. As they stepped forward into view on the other side of the glass, I stepped up next to the suit, rage and panic overcoming me. “This is the stupidest fucking idea, you dumb shit! There’s only two in view, and there were-“ I was cut off as something slammed into the side of my head. My vision went blurry, and I collapsed to the metal floor in a heap. “Shut the hell up” the suit said, motioning for the MP who’d used the butt of his rifle to strike me to lift me up. As they did, I looked up to see Michelle kneeling down next to one of the Komods, my vision hazy. A thought crossed through my mind, one that sped through my brain like a bolt of lightning, and send ice buckets of chills to zap down my spine. They have the intelligence of primates, they have problem solving skills, they were watching us the whole time, they work as a team, they-
I snapped my head up, screaming. “Michelle, get away from it, it’s an ambush!” But, it was already too late. As she looked up at me, her eyes wide with understanding and terror, the Komod snapped up out of playing possum, lunging forward faster than I thought possible with its jaws agape. They snapped close around my colleague’s head, and I heard her begin to scream, a high pitched, unending one which pierced my ears even on the other side of the glass. At the same time, the others removed their camouflage, leaping forward at Clancy and the two guards. They tried to raise their prods, but couldn’t move quick enough as three of them overwhelmed them, dragging them to the ground. The other Komod playing possum had leapt onto Clancy. Within moments, the glass was stained with the splashes of blood from my colleagues and the guards. “Close the door!” the head suit screamed, all trace of bravado having left him. But, again, it was already too late, as with a mix of hisses and low growls, the seven genetically engineered killing machines dashed out of the enclosure and began the slaughter.
I didn’t stay to watch it, though. When I saw that the four in the enclosure were goners, I turned and, with my head still reeling from the rifle butt to my head, sprinted as fast as I could away from the room. I saw a few other of my colleagues do the same, and heard the eardrum piercing sound of multiple handguns and rifles being fired behind me. Along with the screaming. God, the screaming. It was like listening to the background of a horror movie during a nasty kill scene, only this time, the horror was very real. I thought fast as I heard the skittering of claws on metal somewhere behind me. And I did the only thing I could. I climbed tables and bookshelves, until I was able to climb on some ceiling mounted pipes and air ducting. I was up high enough, that even if they could jump, which I found out a few seconds later they could, as they leapt almost five feet off the ground towards me, it wouldn’t be high enough for them to reach.
From there, all I could do was watch. Watch in horror as the Komods grouped together as a pack, moving through the facility to kill the few colleagues of mine and guards who had escaped the initial carnage. They always found them, no matter where they were. They sniffed them out, they could spot them hiding in places most wouldn’t think to look. Very soon, the entire lab was splashed with blood on the floors and walls. It looked like they’d attempted to make their own macabre version of a Jackson Pollack painting. But the most frightening was when they came to a locker that the last guard had hidden himself in. I know those animals had never even seen a locker door before. But, somehow, one climbed slightly up on the metal, using its claws to hook into the grooves, turned its mouth slightly sideways, and gripped the lock between its teeth. It gently pulled it up, and the weight of it swung the locker door open. The guard managed to let out a single scream before they were upon him.
Finally, they were all gone. Everyone except me. I saw the Komods fan out through the lap, systematically moving through each room. Two reached the stairs, and I heard the click of their claws as they climbed towards the door. A few moments later, the slid back down, trapped by the lockdown the bigwig had set up. I let out a sigh of relief. But it quickly died in my throat as I saw one, what had to be the pack leader, move with a speed I didn’t know they could possess and crawl back into the observation room. There was a sickening sound of flesh and bone tearing for a minute or two. Then it reappeared, moving back across the lab with something in its jaws. I strained to see, then gasped as I realized what it was. It was the hand and wrist of the suit; the creature had torn it from his corpse. My mind raced as I watched it move towards the stairs again. Please, no, I thought. Please don’t let it be THAT smart!
My heart sank into my stomach as I saw the Komod reach the panel next to the stairs, climbing up and using its front legs to hold itself in place. Very gently, it dropped the suit’s hand from its mouth, letting it fall palm down onto the scanner. After a second, a robotic woman’s voice spoke throughout the facility. “Lockdown lifted. All exit doors now unlocked” “Shit…” I whispered as I watched it drop back down to the ground, and, moving in front, led the seven back up the stairs. A minute later, I felt the air pressure in the lab change, signaling they had managed to open the door. After about thirty seconds, it stopped. They got out. That was the thought that repeated over and over in my mind. They got out. Oh, god no, they got out.
That was how they found me when they came to search for everyone the next day, when the bigwigs didn’t report in. They found me clutching the ceiling ducts, almost desperately so, so as not to fall down to the ground. They ran a ladder up and coaxed me down. I thought I would be charged for the deaths of everyone here, but apparently, these people knew about Project Varanus. They took me out of the lab, away from the dismembered bodies of my colleagues and the others, away from the blood and putrid copper scent of it. When I stepped outside into fresh air, I immediately noticed the huge hole in the fence opposite us. “That’s how they got out” I whispered, and the man in the suit nodded. “We know, doctor. Don’t worry, we’ll find them”. From there, they made sure I was okay, then made me sign ever more NDA’s, stating I wouldn’t breathe a word about what happened. All which, I said at the start, I’m breaking now.
Yes, the financially compensated me for what I experienced, more money than I would ever know what to do with. Hush money. But, I can’t stay silent on this. For two reasons. The first being, all of my colleagues’ families were given some bullshit cover story about how they died in a gas leak, and the bodies were too contaminated to be able to be shipped home. The families deserve to know what really happened to their loved ones.
And second, and more important tenfold, is to warn people. Warn you. Warn everybody of what is out there now, sliding and hunting through the forests. Maybe even through suburban neighborhoods. Where they can camouflage themselves, they could be anywhere. You need to be on guard no matter where you are. How many animal disappearances since they escaped could be their work? Hell, how many missing people could be their work? If you even think you feel eyes on you when nobodies around, run. If you think you hear soft hissing and low growling around you, run. It may not matter, though. Where they’re so fast, even if you run, they’ll most likely catch you and…well, you know what happens next. But that’s not what frightens me the most. That’s not what makes me stare up the ceiling fan in my bedroom, unable to sleep.
The eggs in the habitat were destroyed by the military. They saw to that. But, the Komods out there can still breed. And we saw how ninety eggs came from just those seven animals, those three females. They can breed very quickly, and they will. And when they breed, they will spread like wildfire, able to live in both hot and cold climates. And as it’s almost April, it’s almost prime time for them to mate and lay their eggs. Which would hatch this fall.
That is, if their breeding season wasn’t genetically altered as well.
All I can say is, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for what I helped to create. I’m so sorry for the deaths of all those who worked with me.
And I’m so, so sorry. I’m so sorry…for what is to come…

I met my current partner almost 8 years ago in person while on a trip abroad. We were in the unofficial, periodic dating stage for the next 3 plus years. I would return to her place for work reasons perhaps once or twice per year. We both saw other people during that time but were always drawn back to each other. Then in 2017, I returned for what was supposed to be a 1 year long work trip.
Before arrival, I was thinking it's the perfect opportunity to truly test if we are compatible. We spent time together for a month or so at a time prior to that but still, in my opinion, that wasn't enough to test our compatibility. We made it official a few months after my arrival.
My one year work trip turned into 2 due to procrastination and my desire to spend more time with her. I sort of went AWOL and my supervisor didn't really press me on the issue and in fact gave me side work online to help me continue my stay. In addition to loving her, I truly do love the place she lives in. I am still confused about where my home is after all these experiences.
I had a flight booked to return home in March of 2020 to tie up loose ends in my home country after being away so long. The news of the pandemic was accelerating rapidly. Then, my partner's home country announced enormous lockdowns to be implemented just two days after my scheduled flight. Like billions of people globally, it was a time anxiety for us, particularly the week leading to my flight. At the last minute, I decided to cancel my flight because I wasn't sure when I'd be able to return to see her again.
It was the right decision because her country experienced what many people described as the "hardest lockdown" on earth. If I left, I would not have seen her again for 2 years or so. All domestic flights, let alone international, were grounded for approximately a year. Even local citizens of this country were stranded in provinces that weren't their own. I'm so glad I made that last minute decision to stay so we could be locked down together during the pandemic.
But I was forced to finally leave in 2022 for work. Before I left, I proposed marriage and she accepted. We were separated approximately 10 months and it was awful. I missed her and also this place. But I worked hard and filed paperwork for her to move with me in my country.
The plan was for me to return and stay for maybe 6 months again. However, with inflation and the terrible job market in my field currently, my funds are running out and I need to leave her again after only 2 1/2 months. I have just more than one week left with her.
This is temporary and we plan to close the gap ASAP. But it still is heartbreaking to leave. We'll be apart but only temporarily. I'm also sad that this may be my final time in this place I love for years at least.
Not sure the point of this post. I actually joined this sub when I booked my flight to leave back in 2020 but then cancelled the flight so had no reason to be active on this sub. But I guess I belong in this sub yet again. I'm just venting.

I posted this on another Wednesday sub but since you guys have a good following on here too, might as well kill two birds with one stone. So to reiterate everything: as you know the actors of Enid, Tyler, and Ajax will be at Dream It Paris this weekend, and both Enid and Tyler will be joined by the actor that plays Thing next week at Comic Con Liverpool.
If you are meeting them, that's great! I can't be at Europe and are a little jelly about it but remember this, THESE ACTORS ARE HUMAN. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE THAT IS HOLY DO NOT ACT CREEPY AROUND THEM. ESPECIALLY ENID'S ACTRESS EMMA GIVEN THE WHOLE SHIPPING REAL LIFE ACTORS THING.
These actors have agreed to meet with fans, sign autographs, and take pictures. They have not agreed to be harassed, followed, or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. They are here to have fun! It's awesome when you get to see and talk to a celeb but you MUST BE MINDFUL OF THEM.
Especially since Comic Con Liverpool has a Wednesday QnA event! Do not ask some of the actors invasive personal questions or try to get too close to them physically. Remember that they are there to have a fun and safe experience, just like you are.
Remember that just because you see these actors on TV doesn't mean that you know them personally.Also I am not kidding about Emma. We all know about the Wenclair ship. Wednesday and Enid. Jenna is literally a bestie to Emma and with the recent trends in people shipping real life actors, it's important to remember that these actors are real people with real lives outside of their on-screen characters. Shipping characters is one thing, but shipping real people is invasive and disrespectful.
THESE THINGS KILL FRIENDSHIPS AND BUSINESS RELATIONS.
They are there to do a job and entertain fans, but they are not obligated to interact with fans in any particular way outside of the agreed-upon event activities.
Also, keep in mind that there may be other fans waiting in line to meet the actors, so please don't monopolize their time or hold up the line with excessive or inappropriate behavior.
Please be respectful of their boundaries, and treat them with the same respect and kindness you would like to be treated with. Don't make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any way.
So if you are going and are the lucky few to meet the people that bought Enid, Ajax, Tyler, and Thing to life, remember their space, and above all have fun!
And if you're jelly your in America or some other country, let's hope your favorite characters will be at your local comic con very soon!
TL;DR: The actors of Enid, Tyler, Ajax, and Thing will be at Dream It Paris and Comic Con Liverpool. Remember that these actors are human, and do not act creepy around them, especially Emma given the recent trends in shipping real life actors. Respect their boundaries and don't monopolize their time or hold up the line. Be mindful of your behavior, and treat them with the same respect and kindness you would like to be treated with. Have fun, but be responsible and respectful fans.

Hello, let me preface this by apologizing in advance for my ignorance, though in my defense, I have made every effort to contact my local IATSE for these answers to delayed and often vague answers that don't help a non-member understand. Also, I am based in Canada for context.
I am part of a team that had a project get picked up by a large production and is now a unionized set. My understanding is that I am not able to do my normal role within the group, as I am not a member of IATSE.
I spoke to someone who mentioned receiving project specific permits to work despite being non-union, however, the answer I received from a local agent went as followed:
"We do not have Permit process.. Ocassionally, A US Production will request a Foreign [worker] to work on their project but that request has to be approved on by [local]’s Board. If a new Production working with [local] requests someone other than a [local] member be [job], that request is discussed with the Business Representatives who often will also take it to the Board."
I am looking to have a meeting shortly with production heads to better understand the situation and if there is any part I can play, but I have had a frustrating time trying to understand the machinations of production unionization. The impression I'm getting is that a production is either unionized or not, full stop. But then the message I was given gives me the impression that the production heads can decide to hire non union workers on a case by case basis? That math doesn't add up to me.
At this point I'd be more than happy to play an assisting role or shadow a full card carrying member for an honorarium if it kept everyone happy, but it's something I have helped work on through my work from the very start, and I'll be heartbroken if I can't take some part in its creation.

As you know, the actors of Enid, Tyler, and Ajax will be at Dream It Paris this weekend, and both Enid and Tyler will be joined by the actor that plays Thing next week at Comic Con Liverpool.
