Yesterday, I was at johns beach watching the air show, I have signal 4-5 bars but I was not able to go online, no internet at all. I was able to make call only. But on the other hand my friend is using T-Mobile which has signal and internet as well.
After I left, I’m able to go online again

So update for those who may wanna know the latest
Aside from being in therapy & cutting myself off from everybody. I decided to hear my ex bestie out over the phone & according to her she wanted to tell the truth about everything. She's revealed that my sister and my ex have actually been messing around behind my back for two & half years and that my sister is currently three months pregnant with his child. She's aborted three of my ex bf's babies before deciding to keep the latest one and apparently they have been in love with eachother for a while & she's hated the fact that he continued to be with me. She really viewed me as his 'side chick' and her the gf even though they were sneaking around behind my back 🤣 she's so delusional. Anyways the baby she is pregnant with now was planned & they had intended on telling me it was the result of a one night stand with a complete stranger & she was gonna raise the baby by herself. They really thought they was gonna raise their baby together behind my back. My sister enjoyed decieving me the whole time and set up the threesome to be caught since she is pregnant and no longer wants to share my ex bf. Ex bestie admitted she slipped me sleeping pills as an attempt for me not to wake up and catch them in the act as she felt bad about their plans. Which I'm so pissed about cus who the f she thinks she is drugging me? Next is when I struggled not reaching thru the phone and unaliving her. Aside from admitting she has feelings for my ex she admitted she enjoyed the threesome & it was the best sex she's ever had. She went straight into detail about everything and how amazing it was. So I hung up the phone and blocked her. She is such a trashy person I wanna forget they all exist. Which I've been doing until last week when a mutual friend of ours reached out to let me know that she has continued having sex with my ex & my sister and they are now in a poly relationship and bestie is trying to get pregnant as she wants to be pregnant same time as my sister. I can't believe she was tryna mend our friendship but starting a poly relationship with them & told me she had stayed clear of them. Apparently going by her social media posts she feels really bad having betrayed me yet again and hopes our friendship can be mended in the future.. they have even posted statuses asking friends if they should reach out to me to ask if I wanna come along to my sister's ultrasound appointments & baby shower which they have arranged for about two months time. Just sick in the head. All three of them.. so anyways that's my life right now. Gonna continue going to therapy to keep me on straight & narrow & prevent me from doing something I may regret

I'm currently watching Barry for the first time and having reached season 3 episode 4 i must say that Katie is a bad and out of place character.
I don't quite get why they introduced this millenial character who seems to read Barry like an open book despite the fact that he has fooled everybody else, including the police, up until this point. At the point i've reached in the show she has seen him in a bad mood 1 time and heard some out of context stuff about him and has somehow reached the conclusion that he is a violent man who is going to hurt Sally.
Now he obviously is everything she is saying, but i don't quite understand why her character gets to come into the show and suddenly make this connection that very few people have seemed to make up until this point.
Am i wrong here? Have i missed some crucial point in the story? It seems half baked and some cheap excuse to more easily make Sally realise the situation instead of her discovering it herself through self reflection?

Intro, you can skip this part.
IWas wondering if y'all had any advice to improve, and overall just what your thoughts are on me!
I'll be putting my projected GPA for 11th and 12th grade, and will be going more conservative in that regard. So I'm going to assume B's in smth like AP Lang or French IV, for example.
So the website I'm using is "https://gpacalculator.net/high-school-gpa-calculato" to calculate my unweighted and weighted gpa. Each semester represents a year. And yes, I'm expecting 12th grade to have such high gpa, since it's all gonna be lab sciences (except for 1 which is an advanced humanities course, i put a B+ for that once even though it's prob an easy A, incase it's a hard class)
I believe for an A+ the calculator gives 4.33, and for honors courses it gives +.5 instead of +1. Whatever tho.
Gender: Male
Race: Indian
School: competitive to highly competitive private school
State: CA
Income: Enough where I won't be taking any loans or don't need any financial aid. Upper-middle to upper-bracket
Intended Major(s): Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Comp Sci, etc. (I initially was deciding between med and comp sci, but i kinda vibing with comp sci more both personally and in aptitude, etc.)

Year 1 : 4.08/3.46 (Bad year lol)
Year 2: 4.42/3.67 (Bit better this year, humanities subjects are challenging, but the trend is upwards :) )
Year 3: 4.58/3.83
Year 4: 5.08/4.08 (All weighted college level courses)
Cumulative: 4.54/3.76
(Our GPA is actually pretty deflated. Our teachers are hard - the 11th graders only have 1 person who has a 4.0 UW GPA..., idk about my grade but I believe no one has)
Coursework: 9 Honors, (Counting Phys C as 1 course:) 10 AP Courses, 6 Post-AP courses (Multivar, Linear Algebra, Data Structures and Algorithms, some english thing idk, Modern Physics, )

APCSA - 5, AP US Gov - 4
Projected Test Scores for courses I took this year: AP Bio - 5, AP Phys 1 - 5, APUSH - 4, AP CSP - 5, AP Calc AB - 5 and possibly a perfect score ngl.
Projected Test Scores for next 2 years: AP Phys 2 - 5, AP Phys C MEM - 5 & 5, AP World - 3, AP Stats - 5, AP Lang - 4, AP Calc BC - 5, AP Chem - 4

(Graduated Kumon in 8th grade? Prob not gonna put this, but I consistently got rank <50. I mean idk if thats good tbh but hey its something)
[Probably will have more awards like other physics competitions, hackathons, etc. This is all I can think of right now, though]
ECs (* Projected ECs):
Martial Arts for about 10 years. Fully recreational. Competitions not allowed and discouraged in my martial arts school (* belt before black by application season)
Paid intern at internationally recognized software company and will work on cool stuff that will be implemented in medical companies and hospitals
Essentially started my school student council, led it for the past 2 years, definitely gonna hold the spot for the next cycles. - Organized lots of events, and working to spread us on a more inter-school level. (Spent over 15 thousand dollars for school events and such)
Started the STEM Tutoring Club. Regularly lead and teach there
* Starting an organization for student-student teaching.
* Also starting an organization for students to more easily volunteer for the community, making volunteering more accessible
< ^ Definitely going to continue these orgs even after high school>
* Research Paper on taking an IB final project topic from 2009-2010 that was used as our AP Calc Final Project, and expanding it using software to simulate stuff. Very cool. Teacher connecting me to researchers interested... o.o. Writing a paper on it.
Do cool hardware/software project and will write a paper on it. I don't really want to say too much on that, but it'll be hella cool.
Hooks: Anti-hook - I'm indian.
LOR:
- Old Math Teacher and future physics wrote a killer one (I heard) for my internship. Can expect same for college ones
- Current Math Teacher taught for longer than my life, 3 times over, and said I was one of her brightest students. She gave a great one apperantly for internship as well.
- One of our admins who heads Clubs and Activities is a very holistic person, and I can confidently say the letter she can write to colleges (like she already did, again, to the internship) will be comprehensive and detailed. Very assured she'll write great things for college.
- I also have an interesting relationship with my english teacher. Taught me since 7th garde, knows how I've grown in an area I'm pretty bad in. And he's an english teacher. Probably will be a good one.
Chancing LORs aren't rlly reliable tho, so i'll give my chancing for LOR as "above average"
List: T25, Georgia Tech as an out-of-state, UC Berkely/LA, yk the usual. UCLA would be pretty fun to get into. UT Austin is also on the table definitely since I like the place.
Idk I don't like spending my life running on the tails of colleges, I want to develop as a person and have a strong connection with my fam. So I probably won't do crazy things that take too much of my time. Most of my effort is gonna be martial arts, the fam, and my own personal growth.
Essays: Probably will write em well. I have some unique ideas with my crazy life experiences lol. Drafted some and have good feedback.

ICYMI -- here are some of the top moments coming out of the final major of CS:GO:

Liquid Rolls Back the Years (to 2019 not 2018)

Who had Liquid 0-2 to 3-2 in the BLAST Paris Challengers Stage?
After getting embarrassed by Apeks & ForZe on Day 1, few believed NA’s darlings would recover from their disastrous start... until they got matched against Fluxo in the 0-3 pool.
Fluxo got 16-2’d by paiN -- how could Liquid lose?
(If I had a nickel for every time I asked that question I wouldn't be writing this)
In classic Liquid fashion, they gave their 14 year old fanbase multiple heart attacks throughout the series. Despite being pushed to the edge, Liquid pulled through to live on at the Major. After steamrolling their NA brethren in Complexity, Liquid faced Grayhound for the last spot in the Legends stage. It was a layup of a match for them, taking care of the dawgs in two maps and continuing their major run.
Surprisingly, they didn’t choke on the opening day of Legends. They destroyed 9INE and Na’Vi to go 2-0, off the back of a disgusting match by YEKINDAR.
Liquid 3-0 pickers slept happy that night, but their bubble was popped the following day 🫧
Up against their kryptonite (5 dudes from Denmark) Liquid failed to take down Heroic to earn their berth in playoffs, which tee’d them up for a 2-1 match against Into the Breach. The Brits vs. Americans — what year is this, 1781?
Liquid made quick work of the world’s 28th best team on an overtime Overpass and one-sided Anubis, securing their spot among the 8 final teams in the Paris major. Despite not going 3-0, Liquid have made NA proud once again — perfect timing for the final CS:GO Major.
​

🇩🇰 Heroic and Vitality 🐝

I had Heroic as my 3-0 until I switched them for ENCE. Please do not ask me how I’m doing.
ZywOo decided he wanted to win Paris, so that was cool ig. Bro dropped a 1.38 rating in their 3-0 run. Playing in his home city must’ve awoken something inside of him. Rumor has it the air quality is perfect in Paris — and this has something to do with his performances. On the Heroic side — they swept aside FaZe and Apeks en route to their playoffs speedrun. They took down Liquid in the 2-0 pool for the cherry on top 🍒

G-2 Disappointing Majors in a Row

Déjà vu anyone?
At least this time G2 actually made it to the major before bombing out in the Swiss Stage 🧀 After losing their opening match to the ZywOo Effect™️, they fumbled the bag by losing 16-13 to an org-less Bad News Eagles 🦅
G2's backs were against the ropes — one Bo3 away from elimination in the final Major of CS:GO. FURIA were next in line for G2, but their crippling lack of T-Sides allowed G2 to live another day. In the 1-2 pool, G2 found themselves against the mezii-led fnatic in a game with elimination on the line. After taking each of their own map picks, the two euro-mixes found themselves on the game’s best fucking map for elimination:

DE_VERTIGO

​
nicoodoz came alive on the final map to turn the tides in favor of fnatic, who took the map 16-13. Minutes later, there were numerous reports of Chinese phone numbers hitting up members of G2.
​

The PLAYOFFS:

ZywOo decided this was his tournament to win. The Chosen One and his friends took home the slimy dorito trophy in front of the home crowd 🥖
Vitality scooped up their first major in an undefeated playoff run against some of the best teams in the world — Into the Breach, Apeks, and GamerLegion.
Yes. You are reading that correctly. To say they had an easy run is… an understatement. Sure, you can only face who is in front of you, and props to them for capitalizing. It just feels kinda lame how the playoffs of the final CS:GO major played out.
In other news, dupreeh took home his fifth Major title in Vitality’s dream run.
This makes him:

• The only player to have won 5 majors 🎖
• The only player that has attended every major in history 🥇
• The player with the most career earnings all-time 💰
• The only player with the right to use that amazing Faze down, Ass up deagle nickname lmao 🔥

This dude really went from sweating bullets to sweating major trophies, huh?

R.I.P DIAMOND COINS AGAIN 💎

When the Major comes around, there’s one CS:GO fans always like to bitch about — their Pick 'Ems. According to Leetify, only 0.3% of players got the diamond coin this time around. This was better than Rio’s 0.1%, but still abysmal compared to the 8% and 11% of Berlin and Antwerp respectively.
Why did so few get the coin this time? Some of the biggest names failed to make it out of the legends stage. Teams like G2 and Na’Vi. The ones that did, like Heroic and Liquid, didn’t even make it past the semis. I don’t know about you, but the absolute last thing I was expecting was GamerLegion in the final. Here’s some of the notable matches that led to this wild playoff bracket:

• fnatic 2-1 versus G2 (ouch)
• GamerLegion 2-1 versus Heroic (ouch again)
• Apeks 2-0 versus Liquid
• Into the Breach 2-1 versus fnatic (UK on UK violence smh)

​

Guys This Isn’t a Disney Movie Why Are All These Underdogs Here 😳

He’s H-iM
Let’s talk about the people who pulled off the upsets, who shook the scene to its core throughout the last major ever.
First on the list is Mihai “iM” Ivan from GamerLegion. This guy was turning heads all tournament with his outstanding level of play against the very best.
Despite him and his team getting off to a disastrous start of 0-2 in the challengers stage, they fought their way all the way to the Grand Final. He ended the tournament with a stupid 1.35 HLTV rating, trailing only ZywOo.
Apex Legends Apeks Playoffs
Another team that surprised everyone has to be Apeks— remember guys like STYKO, jkaem, or nawwk? They impressed everyone by stealing a spot in the semis over NA’s darling.
In a run that seemingly came out of no where, yet another random mix of EU players stormed the game’s biggest stage, broke countless hearts, put up a solid fight against the eventual trophy lifters.
I'm just glad I didn’t put any money on these games. If I did, I’d probably have to resort to writing a CS:GO newsletter just to make rent! Wait...
If you like this sorta CS coverage -- I have a newsletter where I recap everything going on in CS. Highlights, news, memes, you name it. It's called The Defuse Kit. Here's the link:

what do u guys think about a monthly subscription service for toiletries and essential items?
The concept is simple: instead of constantly worrying about running out of everyday necessities like toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, and other personal care products, imagine receiving a curated package delivered right to your doorstep each month. No more last-minute trips to the store or unexpected shortages—everything you need will be conveniently available whenever you need it.
I would love to hear your thoughts and insights. Here are a few questions that I hope you can help me answer:

1. What toiletries and essential items do you find yourself buying regularly?
   
2. How much are you currently spending on these products on a monthly basis?
   
3. Would you be interested in a subscription service that provides these items on a monthly basis?
   
4. If so, what would you consider a fair monthly price for such a service?
   
5. How important is it to you that these products are environmentally friendly or sustainable?
   
6. would you like to continue buying the same brands or would you be interested in a new environmentally AND health friendly one ?
   

Thank you in advance for your participation, and I look forward to reading your comments

I've been having some really tough times this week. I lost a lot of my friends after coming out to them, a project I had been working on for 6 months got suddenly scrapped which means I have nothing to show for all my work, and my boyfriend broke up with me this morning. The only thing keeping me somewhat sane is binge-watching this show again (I'm at Season 2 Episode 8 now after around a day). It's so heartwarming, upbeat and positive even in dark times that it really gave me a lot of hope and strength. And that is a big part of why I love this show so much. It isn't the deepest or most realistic thing I have ever watched, but it feels like the cosiest blanket in the world and is truly comforting every time I watch an episode. I really do hope that it will set an example and we will see many similar shows coming out because of it.

I met a guy back in September 2022 from school since then we became friends and are together every day that we are both on campus. We study in the library together despite not having classes together and eat around campus. Earlier this year, we began hanging out outside of campus like going to the movies, beach, fair, paint&sip, aquarium, & museum. We like each other’s company. We hug and he gives me forehead kissed and kisses my face. We also FaceTime almost every night and fall asleep together. First week of May, we went to the fair and stayed in the park and talked. He’s also way bigger than me and carries me at times, which I very much like. That night while he was carrying me (we we’re about to say goodbye and was by my car) he gave me those kisses on my face. I did the same thing and he keeps moving his head left and right indicating to kiss him on each side. He keeps moving it until he caught and kissed my lips and I kissed him back. On the same week, we went on a picnic when he was about to kissed me I stopped and asked why. We then confessed that we like each other. I avoided every instance we could kiss because I didn’t want to be caught up in a confusing situation later on. Two weeks later, we went out and we’re together for the whole day, we kissed but those were only pecks. At the end of the day, we ate at the same park we had our first kiss. We talked about the time we realized we had feelings for each other and we just keep making out. We talk and kiss and even tease each other and talk in between our kisses. I dropped him home (it was only 2 minutes away from the park) and we hugged and kissed and kissed again. This went on for almost 15 minutes. On our last kiss, my hands were on his chest and behind his ears and his hands were on my thigh and my back. I moved his other hand from my thigh to my knee (while still kissing him) he paused and said it’s not going there. We kissed again and after that, he assured me that his hand is not going anywhere it’s not supposed to. I trust him, but I’m scared.
I’m scared that I am in a fwb situation or is heading to that direction. I never kissed anyone that didn’t mention being in a relationship with me or is trying to date me. We both like each other, but I don’t like that I don’t know where this is exactly going. I need a clear goal and not keep making out where I end up getting hurt at the end. Am I already in a fwb situation? If not what do you call this stage?
