I’ve been laid off over a year ago as a nuclear pharmacist, specialized pharmacy. I’ve been doing this for last 25 years.
My only experience is retail pharmacy which I have not worked since 2001
Even nuclear jobs, employers want young candidates. Retail jobs, they want either recent grads or someone with experience. They all want young
How am I suppose to get a job if nobody is willing to give me shot? To make matters worse, I’m in LA.
I know ageism is working against me. Truly frustrating and I’m totally shattered.
My networks are all nuclear so go figure.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

So, today I decided I’ve had enough of being old, fat, ugly and weak. I can’t do much about old and ugly, and fat, well, I’ve been trying for 30 years to not be that and so far, not a lot of success there (damn you, Cheetos, wine and ice cream!) However, maybe I can do something about being weak because, in the last few years, I’ve become as weak as alcohol-free beer, and getting off the couch is becoming a 2-person job.
So, trusting Google to have my back (wrong!), I picked the first result for “beginner weight training” and came up with this one.
On first glance, it looks okay, although the girl in the video seems to be lifting her own weight with those giant barbells. No worries, I’ve got some 5 pound ones so I’ll just ignore the video, where those barbells are probably inflatable. You’re not fooling me, lady.
First exercise is chest presses on a bench - hey, I’ve got one of those which, years ago, I bought and studiously avoided using. First things first, lie on your back on the bench. Guess what I can’t figure out how to do? First of all, I’ve got my butt in the wrong spot and my head is dangling off the thing. And it actually took a lot of effort to even lie down on the thing, with non-existent ab muscles and trying to hold onto my weights at the same time. After a ridiculous amount of effort where I’m already sweating, I manage to get into place and it goes okay, I guess. Turns out I dragged that freaking heavy weight bench out of the back room for nothing - just one exercise. I should have read ahead. I could have done this one on the floor, although getting off the floor probably wouldn’t have gone much better.
Next is the row, which thankfully is standing up. I’m sure my posture is nothing like hers, but at least it didn’t seem too hard.
Next - shoulder press. I vaguely remember joining a gym and the machine for shoulder presses didn’t actually have a low enough weight for powerless me. I had to take all the weights off the machine and just raise the bar, and even that was tough. Sure enough, 5 pounds is too much for me, and next time, I’ll just wear a couple of bracelets for that exercise.
Next - weighted lunges. Here’s where it gets truly ugly. At least I was smart enough to realize that doing lunges with weights is going to be a no-go for my crappy knees, so I try the lunges without weights. Of course, this makes me think - hmmm, perhaps I should put some shoes on for this, so I go digging in the storage room for some old runners and find my ancient tennis shoes - so that’s where my orthotics went - score! So, after nearly putting out my back putting on the running shoes, I’m ready. I head into my first lunge and realize, hey, my legs aren’t strong enough to get me back up out of this position. I basically had to fall onto the ground to get out of my “lunge”. After that, I did a few very shallow lunges and realized is going to be a while before I’m doing anything that resembles what the girl in the video is doing.
Finally, we have squats. Having learned that shallow is the way to go when starting out with this stuff, I did a few shallow squats while proudly holding 5 pounds. I’m not going to say they were perfect, but I’m going to keep up with those, because that move will be very handy the next time I go to France or Italy. Like, come on, Europe - get with modern toilets! On the Amalfi coast (I’m not making this up), I went to a public bathroom once where they charged 2 Euros just to get in, and if you want a toilet with a seat, you could rent a seat for another 2 Euro. I shit you not (literally). And in France, what they called the public bathroom in Les Baux de Province was actually just a hole in the floor. I assume French ladies are wearing skirts with no underpants because otherwise, I have no idea how you’re supposed to protect your clothing from that operation.
Anyways, I made it through the little work-out and actually added some bicep and tricep curls because I was feeling pretty buff after all that. I’m going to try to do this 3 times a week. I expect my resolve will evaporate around the 3rd time but who knows? Maybe I’m on the road to be old, fat, ugly and strong!

“HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!”
A laugh, what does it mean for a person? A sign of amusement? A mark of contentment? Maybe, a reaction to a quirky comment or action? Perhaps…
But now, all that echoed throughout the burning lands was a guffaw of despair and torment. It belonged to Eve, the future queen of the entire Confederation of Demons. And right now, no trace of royal dignity was to be seen within her. The woman was pulling her white hair, kneeling in her sphere at the sight of the mass-murder.
The snow of death, the sprinkled ash of white and purple fell upon the ground, taking hundreds of lives. Gramgrim, the strongest and the fiercest formation underneath the authority of Me-ua now perished like slugs under the salt. Orcs, dogs, trolls, deer, lions, crows, fiends, mind-flayers, tigers, boars, even a cult of bulls-necromancers – the brigade included many different races, men and women of different backgrounds and upbringings, their tamed beasts and familiars, slaves and draft animals. Looking at the southern organizations, consisting of various Ma-zok tribes was always fascinating. Especially, when none of them could withstand the divine plague, sent as a godly punishment for defiling the holy land of kokuyoku.
Was there any way to save themselves? Yes – they simply never should’ve come to the village. Now, though? Well, not even Panakea’s blessing could save Keyaruga from death, so why should any of them survive?
Such was Eve’s wrath; such was her sorrow, enshrined upon this wretched world.
“Fascinating.,,” Keyaruga muttered, looking underneath him. He couldn’t help but to feel glee. After all, hundreds upon hundreds of high-leveled demons perished, blessing the whole party of five with new levels to enjoy (or hate, in Ellen’s case). Strange, though. Normally, a party couldn’t be larger than four people (not that a mortal had control over it anyway; people could travel in however big assemblies, as they pleased, yet experience was earned only by parties of four), but the group stuck together pretty well. Was it another of Caladrius’ gifts, she just didn’t bother to share? Well, whatever the case…
“I know, it’s not a reason for joy… but we can definitely use all that power in our future battles.” Freia mused with a trace of regret in her voice.
“Uh-huh. Good thing to get stronger before we go after the demon king.” Setsuna supported, trapped in a conflict between joy at reaching her new threshold of power and fury for losing Visou.
“Of course this would happen… This always happens with those people and places I care for or love… I shouldn’t have taken this damned bracelet…” Keyaruga growled, looking at the yorkama talisman on his right wrist. Yet, when he was about to rip it away…
“Don’t do that.” …Ellen stopped him. For the first time in this nightmarish day she was thankful for her new powers, as they allowed her to stop her ‘brother’ from an act of utter stupidity. “It’s not your fault. Look, they came here, seeking Hakuo’s rival! Your sympathy has nothing to do with that, stop dealing in superstitions!” The Apostle of Caladrius attempted to reassure the lad. But alas…
“It’s my fault. Like Visou… like Alban… like Karman… It’s all been my fault.” …the man just wouldn’t listen.
“No… it was mine…” The crimson-haired cutie whispered, yet once again – no reaction. “Hey, brother, see that breached wall behind Mil’s house? I see traces there. Could you, maybe?..”
“Yes… Oh, Ellen, thank you!” Only when she pointed out the obvious, did the man finally wake up from his trance. Just in time to hear…
“KILL!!! KILL THEM ALL!!!” …this. Eve still couldn’t really master her raging emotions, and even the fact that no creature remained alive in the burning village stopped her in any way.
“Hm, I am saddened to inform you, little one, that there is nobody to slay here. And even if there were, I am unable to maintain the offence. I need to feed and regain my strength now.” Caladrius admonished, descending on the earth. “However, down the north road, you may find other survivors. Just make haste; they do not have much time.” The harbinger of plague informed the group, putting the white sphere on the ground. The barrier had faded just as all poisonous ash did as well, coincidentally.
Keyaruga, Setsuna, Eve, Freia, Ellen, Kelly, Patty – all could finally walk properly again. Not really a big perk, when all you’re finding yourself among the still burning remains of a ruined village, though.
“O pluvia clemens, benedic nobis tua gratia recreativa.” Fortunately, they had the Hero of Magic at their side. And so, the first thing Freia did was to cast a simple rain spell. A critically important move, especially when their raptors were getting panicked by the fires.
“Now, if you excuse me.” And what would horrify any sentient being was how gruesomely filthy Caladrius turned out to be. The very first thing she did when the party had finally landed was to grab some dead slimy bastard, and just swallow him whole, like some sort of a pelican.
“Hey! Hey! Hey! He-e-ey!!! The hell are you doing?!” The younger princess yawped, consumed by her anger. Not because she was disgusted, though… “You fucking munched him with all that armor and shit?! What’re you even thinking of?! We need that!”
“I do not care, Apostle. Unless you are willing to strip them yourself, your whining is of little concern to me.” The deity replied dismissively. Even if her plague faded without a trace, the diseased corpses were still a delicacy for Caladrius.
And here I thought Ellen was slandering her about this part. Thought it was just a nice joke. Apparently, not, Keyaruga mused, witnessing the same vile spectacle as his girls did.
“Well, I’m willing as hell! You can buy an entire village for one of those!” The young lady snarled, turning one of the corpses over, just to untie the leashes that held a cuirass in place. When people die, their rectum can’t hold feces anymore. The stench of death, dung, decay, the earth, wet and softened by the rain – so much filth among the corpses, and yet, the warlady felt overjoyed looting the corpses of their fallen enemies before tossing their naked bodies toward her hungry patron.
“Keyaruga, I think, we should…” Freia softly spoke, pointing at the breach on the northern side. She wasn’t overly enthusiastic about defiling the dead, so maybe…
“No, I’m going alone.” Sadly, the healer wouldn’t let anyone accompany him in this quest. Even the golden egg had to leave his back right now. He knew who he was pursuing. And what he would do to his enemies, once he’d reached them. “Setsuna, Freia, hold this, and stay here, and watch out for Eve, and… Well, you may also help Ellen with looting.” The lad spoke, completely ignoring the rain that fell upon his head.
“Uh-huh, got it.” The gray-haired girl agreed, putting the straps holding their unborn ‘child’ on her back. Strangely enough, the ice warrior was more than happy with pillaging the corpses. With her arms being covered in the frozen gauntlets, the girl could easily strip the fallen brigadiers to Ellen’s obvious delight.
“I… think I should bury the villagers.” Freia, on the other hand, grabbed a shovel somewhere. Instead of defiling the dead, she wanted to properly inter the remains of the poor black-wings… until their bodies were eaten by their own god.
“Whatever you wish… Just don’t forget to cut off their wings.” The man ordered, tossing away everything from Kelly’s saddle. He needed speed, not sustainability.
“I see… feathers… magic catalysts…” The sorceress instantly understood what the hero wanted from the fallen villagers. To be honest, that sort of cruelty paled compared to what their enemies sometimes allowed themselves. It didn’t make the pink-haired girl any happier, though.
“Wait!” Finally, just as Keyaruga was about to climb on his reptile steed, he got a companion in the form of the queen-to-be. “I’m… going with you!..” She spoke wearily, yet her tone wouldn’t brook any denial.
“You shouldn’t, Eve. You’re too drained as it is, I can’t risk you now.” That didn’t work on the new hero, though. The red-eyed lad knew, what kind of atrocities he was about to commit. What’s worse – he was looking forward for them.
“No… You know I can’t be killed that easily.” The white-haired woman insisted, allowing herself to climb in the saddle no matter what Keyaruga wanted. “Also, those are my people we’re talking about.”
“Alright…” The man nodded, giving one last brief look at what travesty was currently occuring on this holy ground: hundreds of corpses, two enthusiastic looter-girls stripping them before feeding them to the goddess that was primarily supposed to guard this place from such tragedies, and the strongest mage in the world, cutting off wings with her wavy dagger. All gave him a brief look. “Girls, lady Caladrius, you stay here! The raptor we’re taking will go faster carrying only two of us.” The healer admonished, silently praising himself for not including the plague incarnate in the ranks of his lovers. Wouldn’t that be awkward?
“Uh-huh. Good luck, you two.” Setsuna waved her armored hand, happily proceeding with robbing the corpses.
“Yeah… thanks. We’ll need it.”
…
The forest had been defiled. A trace of bodies, both kokuyoku and their ruthless persecutors, marked a path for the hero and his queen. Faster! Faster! The man smacked his reptile with his heels, struck against the ribs, pulled every bit of speed from poor Kelly. So much so, that even wild scavengers, who came to feast on the corpses, just fled from the massive raptor. And yet, it still wasn’t enough…
“Hey, Keyaruga!” Eve spoke, holding onto the hero’s torso with her trembling arms. “Why are you even helping us? Why… do you even bother, if they die no matter what we do?” The queen-to-be asked melancholically. Right now, she tried to find at least some meaning in her existence, just to not fall into a pit of nihilism and despair.
“It’s because… I have power. I can make a difference. And because I want to do so.” The red-haired lad responded, navigating a path through the woods with his jade eye. His status elevated him above the rest, giving the man many abilities, some considered to be… unnatural. For example, he could easily alleviate Kelly’s fatigue from constant galloping.
“Power, yes?.. The onslaught… it began when Caladrius was playing with us… But instead of putting an end to this hell, she’d go on, and on, and on… And even when we got out, she never told us what was going on. When I asked her to bless you, I was scared… and discomforted, and… whatever other words you have for discomfort. I thought it was because of the trial… Thought it was over… Then… I looked at myself, my own actions, here and in the past.” Eve shared the burden of her guilt with Keyaruga. The white-haired woman couldn’t help but blame herself for everything that happened. If she didn’t ignore her feelings, if she had checked on her wings a little earlier, if she… “If I… If I just could…”
“Was that what you saw in your challenge?” The healer wondered, trying to get his companion out of this ruinous obsession over what nobody could prevent, or even predict.
“Ugm… Who did you meet there?” Did he fail? No, not really. But instead of giving him an answer, the queen-to-be countered with a question of her own.
“Many, many people… I don’t want to talk about it now.” Unfortunately, though, Keyaruga just couldn’t bring himself to reveal what he saw, heard… did with his own hands.
“I… I see…” Eve murmured, getting a message from the lad’s depressed tone. He too carried much pain in his soul, and that vortex of suffering could never be dissipated by shutting down just some of his emotions. To completely silence this pain, Keyaruga would have to become something else entirely, something inhuman, incapable of either hate or love.
“More important, Eve, I want you to sharpen your senses. Maybe, you can trace magic better than me.” The hero suggested, as his right eye rolled around in his socket. The forest was wide and thick, and his sight wasn’t as all-seeing as he’d like it to be.
“I’ll try.” Eve whispered, trying to focus her attention on the ambient mana. Maybe, if she was just diligent enough, she could trace her living brethren? Maybe, all wasn’t lost just yet? Maybe… “You know, Keyaruga, you’re not the guilty one in all of this… If Mil didn’t let everyone in, if I wasn’t saved by your goddess, if our goddess wasn’t just like Ellen says she is… than none of this horror would have happened.” The lady in red deadpanned cautiously. Now that she knew of her ‘future’, how it might’ve been without this self-conflicted man at her side, the kokuyoku scion could clearly tell – her grandfather was just like Keyaruga and Ellen, he wanted the best for his people… and that turned Visou into a deathtrap. After all, Hakuo wouldn’t have sent Gramgrim here if Cornar had come to him with the valuable bounty that was the black-wings’ princess.
“I’m sorry…” The healer uttered, still unaware, just how much of a monster Eve’s first husband really was, and how much she owed him for showing, how the love should even look like in the first place.
“You really shouldn’t be, Keyaruga.” The black-winged prodigy responded sorrowfully. She felt the lad’s distress: it was in his voice, his posture, his way of breathing… “You can’t just carry the burden for everyone else. I tried… and I failed.” Eve spoke, trying to dissuade her defender from thinking he was able to hold the whole world on his shoulders, when, in reality, it was simply impossible. “Don’t do that. You’ll break.” This calm phrase was spoken serenely, and yet, it was a cry. A cry for help, for understanding, for letting go.
“We don’t need Caladrius.” But Keyaruga just couldn’t release himself from this burden. Even now, when riding over the forest floor, covered in disfigured corpses, most of which were charred whole, seemingly by lightning, the man couldn’t stop thinking about Eve, her troubles, the tragic price her ultimate power might demand from her.
“Why?” The lady in red asked, attempting to follow the new line of conversation which her companion had turned to. Why would he even be scared of it? Didn’t Ellen bargain two free casts for her? Ellen… How could this capricious princess be able to extort such a valuable gift from the harbinger of plague? If Eve had done something like this in the first world… then there wouldn’t be the second one.
“She’s… too frivolous, arrogant, she’s thousands years old, yet all I see is an old snobby child with no backbone. We can’t be sure she’ll maintain her promise, and I really, really don’t want to see you wither away.” The man said with that seemingly careless voice of his. “If you need someone dead, I’ll be there for you.” He added grimly then. Eve was too soft, even now, she still couldn’t deal with the moral compromises necessary, and there were going to be a lot more of them on the way toward the Obsidian Throne.
“Hah… You really do want me to fall in love with you?” The queen-to-be noted somewhat playfully. Her mood was still sombered, but even so, there was always a light in the darkness.
“Heh, aren’t you already? I can tell – you’ve changed, so that you could keep up with me, especially in the bed.” Keyaruga followed this little funny road, and retaliated with a joke of his own. But… was it really a joke, though?
“Yes… Yes, I have.” Apparently, not. “I can’t force you to become your old self, but I had a chance to change myself.” Eve explained, lowering her head. She couldn’t keep up with the man last night – he was just too big for her. That’s why, the girl had to go, the queen-to-be had to become a woman, and fast.
And so, there could be only one thing to ask at this point.
“So, do you want to fuck, once this is over?” The hero unceremoniously inquired from his companion. After all, they were already past all those earlier insults and attempts at shaming from Eve’s side.
“Yes, I do! I really, really do. I want you to ravage me, so I wouldn’t go mad.” The Me-ua kahul responded with a plea of sorrow, hate, loathing, and regret. There wasn’t anything enticing in this request, but… it was so humane.
“Of course. I will.” The man promised. Despite everything, despite this day supposedly belonging to Ellen and Setsuna, he wouldn’t refuse her, no matter what. And Eve felt that resolve in the man.
“Also, I won’t stop using Caladrius. We need her, Keyaruga. We need her… to establish our authority. Then… maybe, I won’t have to lose anyone again.” The queen-to-be spoke wearily. She wanted to reach Hakuo, wished to murder this monster once and for all with her own hands, instead of waiting till some disease finishes him. She wanted to bury this king’s legacy once and for all, so that his blood would never poison her life ever again. Eve Reese desired revenge. And Keyaruga would never feel worthy of discouraging his queen. And yet…
“Alright. But you have to promise me one thing – one time. She gave us only two times, and I don’t want you to overreach any further. Everything else I’ll deal with personally. It won’t make a difference to me anyway, my hands are already dirtied enough as it is.” Keyaruga all but demanded. The gods had put them in a tight little cage, where only those who kill more than others, were worthy of wielding great power. Right now, the man wasn’t sure his party was enough to challenge Hakuo’s rule. Even Eve, drained by Caladrius, managed to overpower her ‘heroic’ adversaries. Too bad they left her exhausted for Keyaru to finish the job. Speaking of that…
“But… why would you even bother? Don’t you just want to… make another redo? To fix everything, to save those who you couldn’t save?” The lady in red asked the lad. He was never too secretive about the circumstances he was in, and how the world ended up as it is. Still, each time he spoke of that, pain and loss broke through his armor of callousness.
“No. Just as you said, I have people to live for now. Freia, Setsuna, Ellen, you, Eve – I can’t imagine my life without you. And if I just flee into the past, then what’s even the point of us having this little chat right now?” The healer quarried in response. He was sure of what he was talking about now. Or, rather, trying to convince himself and Eve of that.
“Haa… Right…” For better or worse, the woman just exhaled and dropped the topic. To believe it would mean disregarding Keyaruga’s deep painful wounds, any further prying risked opening them up again. “I think we’ve got something.” Fortunately, right in that moment, Eve noticed a track, something to spot her brethren, where the trail of bodies had just ended.
“What? Where?” Keyaruga asked, now looking around.
“To the left from here. I feel my brethren coming to me from this side. They’re… fighting. And dying.” As the lady in red spoke, pointing in the direction the flow of souls was coming from, the rider pulled the reigns to stop his steed. He then jumped off the saddle.
“Shit, I must hurry!” The hero snarled, pulling the saber out of its sheath. A contradicting statement, seeing as he would be much faster mounted. But no… “Keep your eye on Kelly! I can’t risk the two of you!”
“You want to go alone?” The woman astounded, reaching for her companion. Alas, he never faced her.
“Yes! Our enemies are strong, Eve. And I’m not sure if I can properly protect you. Stay here; cover me with your magic.” Keyaruga urged sternly. He wasn’t a healer, nor a competent defender whatsoever. The hero was a murderer, and nothing could convince him more than the trial he completed just an hour ago.
“Hold on! I won’t let you go alone.” Nevertheless, the kokuyoku scion too wasn’t the same after that challenge. She flapped her wings, and numerous black spheres left her feathers. One, two… ten, twenty… Twenty-three shades now flew around the man, ready to assist him in murdering whoever threatened their kin. “They will protect you.”
“Ah… thanks.” The red-haired man uttered, looking at the fallen black-wings. Right now, they rather reminded him of insects with the way they dashed around. “We’ll be on our way, then.” Still, it didn’t stop him from getting ready to sprint forward to save whoever was left of the kokuyoku-zok and to punish their oppressors.
“Promise you’ll be back! Promise you’ll save everyone!” Eve ultimately asked, looking at her dead brethren. Shying away from them was a luxury, and now she had no time for such things.
“I will, Eve! Take care!”
And so, he ran off, to the site where the last bit of fighting was happening. Him, twenty-three shades… against the elite forces of Gramgrim, the only remaining fragment of the horrifying battalion; now, though, the time had come to end this warband once and for all.
…
Faster! Faster! I must be faster!
Keyaruga lunged through the woods, he jumped across logs, climbed the hills, passed a few ravines along the way, just to finally reach yet another battlefield. Mil was there, the wizened magician firmly held his staff. All bloodied, his robe torn apart, the old man still fought on.
“Masanna tanouti! (kill everyone)” A massive rider, carried by an even greater armored warg tackled Mil and his defense line of mostly women spellcasters, and a few strong men among the refugees.
“Usegi! (run) Usegi-i!!!” Mil yelled, getting ready to ward off the seemingly countless hordes of bloodthirsty invaders, preferably – all on his own. The thought of death never scared the magician, as he already looked in its eyes, and they were gentle.
“Mil-murnaz! (elder Mil!) Katunj pora bornul non! (we have nowhere to retreat!)” An armored old woman yelled, preparing her grandiose fire blast. None of them would abandon him. Only seventeen of them remained against a group of forty-seven raving cutthroats, knowing all too well, they wouldn’t be able to pull through. And yet, none of them would go down without a fight. If they did, they would be slaughtered, and after that – their kin would follow.
“SUNI-I-I-I!!! (DI-I-IE!!!)” The bruised elder snarled, imbuing his wooden staff with an element of lightning. One swing, one smack – and the monstrous wolf fell down, wriggling in the shocking agony, along with its master. One down.
“Globus igneus!” The armored hag next to him yelled, sending a massive fireball into the troops. Seven perished, four else – scattered. Yet, those who fell were mercilessly crushed underfoot by the four brutal tiger-riders – no regards to their allies, and even less toward the foe. Five men and two women from the black-wings stood up to meet them with their spears, staked into the earth… It didn’t work – the demons breached their line, gutting everyone in the reach of their decorated cleavers.
“Katunji! (retreat!) Konato wor marmori! (protect the children)” Mil commanded, tossing two hardened feathers into the enemies. Too close to him, but… it didn’t matter. “KURLINA-A-A!!! (FUCK YOU!!!)” He yelled, detonating the enchanted quills.
BOOM!
An explosion, a shockwave, the trembling of the earth. Kokuyoku were mercilessly pushed further, practically hunted like animals, and yet, their prey had claws and teeth. The blast was mighty, it broke Gramgrim’s formation, allowing the defenders to flee, to run, to… live a few minutes longer.
“Kha-a-a… Ha-a-a… Agh…” Mil helplessly wheezed, pushed to the trunk of the giant oak. His bones were broken, the old man had lost all feeling in his legs, hands, and… No, he knew what he was getting into. “Gh-h-h!.. Ugh… E… va… ma…” Even when some tall goblinoid thug impaled him with a spear, the only thing on the mind of the dying sorcerer was his granddaughter, and all those he tried to save. Tried, but…
“I’VE COME TO SAVE YOU!!!” Keyaruga roared, engaging a bat-like swordsman, lunging toward the fleeing defenders. Just in a few hundred meters away, the refugees were running from the pursuers. It was honestly a miracle to see them keeping such a substantial distance, even though the enemies had carnivorous mounts. It seems, like they were rather enjoying chasing their prey.
“GHA-A-A!!!” Nevertheless, the fencer retreated from the hero, picked up a lance from the roasted wolf-man, and tossed it into the hero. The latter dodged, then pointed in the direction of his adversaries.
“Tania wor tanouti! (kill them!) Orn wor shef na! (don’t be concerned about me!)” And just like that, a cascade of shadows materialized to shred the enemy flanks and rear. The raging dark spirits now flew all across the surviving hunters’ ranks, ripping and tearing, stabbing and shredding the yelling warriors, as they tried to damage the ethereal vengeful apparitions. Could it be worse? Oh yes! Someone began simply sniping them from afar, numerous beams of piercing light took lives of so many, the Gramgrim’s morale hit the bottom.
Still, that didn’t mean they’d stop fighting. Certainly not! The bat-demon just met a shade with a wide swing from his reddish greatsword – an instant later, this spirit was gone. An adamantine blade – Keyaruga couldn’t just let him roam around – the man tossed a dagger from his sleeve, but no. The warrior just easily deflected it with a sneer. Before the lad could go on, he crossed those twenty meters with merely two jumps, ready to cleave the hero’s head in one rapid sweep.
The man ducked, right leg forward, balance toward offence. A slash was aimed toward the leg…
“Ghhh!” And it failed – the healer got a knee in his chin for that. After all, how can a thin saber cut through the metal greaves underneath the surcoat? Discombobulated, the man was about to get a downward cut to his shoulder.
“A-A-A-A-R-R-R-R!!!” Fortunately for him, another shade saved Keyaruga the trouble by backstabbing the fencer. Well, she just impaled him in the right armpit. Did that stop the berserker? “ULMO-O-O!!! (BITCH!)” Well, certainly not. Even if his one limb flopped uselessly by his side now, the warrior firmly grabbed his sword with his left hand, turned around, and slammed the spirit with the pommel, sending herto in the afterlife for sure!
A perfect chance to dispatch the swordsman, right?
Wrong! Barely had Keyaruga reached out to give the adversary one fatal touch, when another massive tiger-like brute attacked him with his massive claws. Slash, swing, up, down – the bruiser-armorclad was fast, his attacks – relentless. The lad was forced to retreat, elope, block – anything and everything to not get smashed. Each time he blocked a hit with his saber, his elbow would dislocate. No matter, Georgius healed in less than a second. No matter, just get…
“Tokalbarne! (got you!)” Alright, now that was surprising. The lad felt the trap, but proved too slow to escape the massive tail. Distracted by the tiger, he let himself be trapped by a lamia, which now not only enveloped the man’s entire body, but also unceremoniously licked his cheek. Was it the end?
“A-A-A-A-a-a… Ha-ha-HA-HA-HA!!! TUYOBU, TONA!!! (harder, mommy!)” Clearly not! Even while being crushed by the mighty snake tail, Keyaruga laughed, intimidating his foes with the undying audacity within his immortal body. “USHI INAV… MUNA CABNEI!!! (YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!)”
“Nan-! A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!!!” The lamia groaned in pain. A moment later her body began to swell, to bloat, and to rupture in a gruesome spectacle of blood and gore. Could Keyaruga do it better? Certainly, but he had no time, nor wish to figure out the half-shake’s anatomy, and where her heart (Is it just one?) lied.
Either way, one down, the shades did their job too, keeping the rest of the Gramgrim goons busy, often even ending them. They were forty-seven? Well, now they were just nineteen, and the monsters’ corpses didn’t actually do wonders for the battle spirit of the remainder either.
Keyaruga couldn’t care less, though. He got out from the lamia’s mortal grip, covered in blood and viscera, only his clean white teeth shone brightly.
“E-eh…” The tiger-brawler was shaken by the view. He reached toward the woman, unable to believe his eyes. Was she his lover, or something?
“Die!” No matter, whatever the case, the Hero of Healing dashed toward him, pushed his armored left arm against his chest, and then, the purple hue killed the man for good. His aorta just ruptured from the defiled mending spell.
Then, more beasts, some of which were mounted, lunged toward him. Two tigers, a massive deer, a swarm of eight snakes, and even a giant black bear. The warband reasoned that the fastest way to get rid of shadows was to kill the man. Well, they were wrong.
“Saltare et aurugine ventis!” At this point, he didn’t really care about the melee, that’s why, instead of engaging in anymore close-quarter fights, the lad simply called upon a mighty firestorm, a burning tornado of wind and blaze, which not only killed the animals, but also moved on to the rest of the crumbled Gramgrim troops, razing trees, ma-muana and ma-zok alike, charring their flesh and drowning their screams in the mercilessly loud crackling of magical flames.
I guess, that’s what I’m getting for not min-maxing my physical stats and speed before going melee. Well, no matter. Now that they’re dead… Wait, Mil?
“MIL!!!” Keyaruga yelled, running toward the old mage. He… was already beyond saving. Fifteen shades gathered around the hero, as he looked at the impaled man, and his decapitated green-skinned murderer who had been killed next to him. “Muna sagri. (You may leave)” And so, the healer sent the shades away. Quite in time, actually, as they were already flickering in and out of existence anyway – Eve was losing her mana. Finally, the lad was all alone. “Alright, old daredevil. You deserved a nice funeral.” He pulled the spear out of the corpse, and put it on his shoulder. It wasn’t much, but at least, he would be sent off properly.
Time to go, I guess. Now, let’s reunite with Eve, and then…
“A-A-A-A-A!!!” Another change of plans. The lad heard a scream. Two voices, in fact, both females. The man looked around and saw the bat-swordsman, dragging a mother and her child by their hair, completely disregarding their wails of pain whatsoever.
“What, do you really think taking hostages will save you?” Keyaruga scoffed, taking a step toward the cowardly combatant. Quite surprising really, seeing how good he was with that greatsword of his. But, well, two more, two less – the black-wings were doomed either way, right?
“Keyaruga-maran!” Maybe so, but those weren’t just some unknown refugees – they were Mayala and Brin. When the man saw them, he halted his movements completely.
“Good humie! Stand right where you are, or they die!” The cutthroat threatened. It seemed he had already healed the wound left by a shade with a potion. And now, instead of running away, he intended to use the captured family to extort the hero. For what purpose, though?
“Oh, great! Finally, someone, who speaks a human language!” Keyaruga wouldn’t be swayed by that. Why would he, actually? As it stood now, he could simply send a spell of light through the mother or the daughter, run closer, heal them…
Why should I even care? It’d only hurt for a moment, nothing really…
“Good! And stay there, little shit.” Well, turned out, it worked. The healer lowered his saber.
“Or what? You kill them? See those burning pines, pal? I just killed all of your friends. By the way, Gramgrim is no more. I bet Caladrius has already eaten all of their corpses.”
“Hah, no shit, clever boy! Then where is she?! HE-E-EY!!! CALADRIUS!!! OVER HE-E-ERE!!! See?” Sadly, the bat-fencer remained completely unfazed by the news. He still had an advantage – Keyaruga seemed to care for the weeping family, and that was his weakness. “Drop your sword, then get on your knees, or I’ll take their fucking heads!”
“How enticing…” The man wondered with a nervous grin. He spun his weapon once, and pointed it to the ground. Mayala and Brin looked at him, their black eyes conveyed terror and distress. And still, there was a glimpse of hope. Keyaruga could do a miracle. He would save them, just like he saved the girl from the terminal rabies. “Will you set them free if I surrender?”
“Yau! (yeah!)” The swordsman grinned, drawing his reddish blade closer to their necks. “Drop your iron!”
Ha-ha-ha-hah! Oh, what should I do? What should I make?
“Hey, I’ve got a better idea. How about I kill myself?” And just like that, the healer pointed his own weapon at his chest, sowing dread in the hearts of the hostages and careless amusement in their captor.
“What? He-heh! Go ahead, humie, I’ll watch!” The bastard chuckled, slightly lowering his massive blade. This nasty glee grew only greater, when…
“Heh, I’m serious!” …the red-eyed lad plunged his own saber through his chest. To deep, in fact, that only the handle now stuck out from his torso.
“KEYARUGA-SONA!!!”
“UA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!!!”
“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You’re fucking hilarious!”
Three reactions, one of terror, one of tears, and the last one of irrepressible laughter – Keyaruga spat a chunk of blood, such a wound could never really kill him, and yet, it allowed for a safe movement. One, two, three steps – as long as he pretended to limp forward like a dying fool, the enemy would never stop him from approaching. He liked the view, liked seeing the man bleeding and coughing his own lungs out. He even…
A beam. A beam of white energy just flew right besides his head. It took a moment for the cutthroat to get, what was going on, but when he did, when he understood, that some distant caster could take off his head…
“YOU FUCKER!!!” Then, the cowardly warrior grabbed his greatsword with a two-handed grip, swung it at the terrorized family… “I’LL KI-!” …and died. The last thing he saw, felt, and tasted – was the trident that pierced his neck and head from the back.

I read through some some threads for Magic Receipts and I did not find any answer to the question that I have. This week, for the fist time, I had to ask for manual review after scanning two receipts. One is from Giant Eagle. The other is from Walmart. I previously have submitted receipts from both stores and they have always credited until this week.
It says it takes 3-5 business days to review it manually.
Question - Is there anywhere to track the status of these reviews? I have not received any E-mails and can not find it in the activity ledger.
Thanks in advance, if you have an answer to my question.

For some background, my (33M) wife (31F) of 12 years and I have always had a very strong marriage. We have 2 kids (7M, and 2F) and I always thought that we had a happy life. 2 years ago I accepted a new position at my workplace that comes with more pay, but also much more hours. There is significant pressure in this position to hit numbers and is a job that can be considered fairly high-stress. This stress is likely something that I have brought home on several occasions, and while she never deserved it, my wife has no doubt been impacted by it.
My wife works at a hospital pharmacy compounding medications as a pharmacy technician. She works 4 10-hour shifts and is sometimes on call on the weekends. Around January I noticed her being on her phone more, and she would keep her phone close to her chest and would never leave it laying around like she used to. I asked her about this, told her I felt like the worst was going on and she reassured me and apologized for how it made me feel. This was enough to curb my suspicions for a while. The next few months became more and more contentious at home as she continued being cagey with her phone, and stopped wearing her wedding ring. I always respected her privacy and never checked the phone. I started to withdraw and began playing more video games with my son as it is one of the only ways we bond throughout the cold winter months.
One Sunday she told me she was going shopping at a few places and that she would be back soon. She was gone nearly 7 hours and came home with stuff from one retailer. I looked at the bank account and it was about $150 worth of groceries from one retailer which didn't seem like it would take that long to get. I checked her Google location history on her phone and saw that she was parked in a parking lot next to a park for nearly 6 hours. I asked her 3 times if she went to the park or somewhere else and all 3 times she lied, until I showed her the Google location history and she finally admitted to going. Her excuse was that she needed a break from me and my son and that she was crying and listening to music the entire time. The next day she turned off Google location tracking because it made her 'feel uncomfortable'. At this point I am almost certain something is going on and I can't get her to communicate with me.
During this period our physical intimacy never stopped. It got more frequent, and she was willing to try more things with me. She has now lost about 40 pounds, listens to new types of music, has gotten medical procedures done to tighten her skin, has been purchasing new bras and underwear, and has completely disconnected from me. Her parents visited in April and they had a talk and now she wants a divorce. She never asked for a divorce or requested a split but was receptive to me asking if that's what she wanted. She says that this last winter has been really bad for her and that I played too many video games and emotionally neglected her. This is something I feel is fair but I was only trying to bond with our son as he is getting older and won't always want to do this. I don't feel like this is an issue we couldn't get passed unless there is something else pulling her away. I have since quit playing video games altogether as it's hard to want to continue to do a behavior you feel may have significantly contributed to the downfall of your marriage.
We had a period for about 6 weeks where we were 'working' on things but it seemed completely one-sided. It seemed mostly with me doing anything I possibly could to fix our issues and she wouldn't even be willing to initiate a hug or any other type of physical or emotional intimacy. I ended up getting so frustrated that I decided to call things off. I pulled the majority of my check and last bonus from our shared checking and opened my separate account to handle my finances.
I know my marriage is done and there is now no possible way to repair it. But when I tell her I know that something is going on, that all the signs are there, and I would have to be stupid not to see it she completely denies anything. She is so consistent with her denial that I start to wonder if maybe I am just being paranoid, or that I might be losing my sanity. Last night when I told her that I want 50/50 custody of the children (I spend more time with them anyway) she completely flipped. I don't know if she is hoping to get more child support out of me or just assumed she would get majority custody. My lawyer has assured me that 50/50 will be the most likely scenario. I know I contributed to the failure of my marriage in many ways. But it seems like she is the one that wants to leave, and that something else is compelling her to do so.

Hey guys
I am studying pharmacy in an europe country. My scholarships pay for my studies and my living costs.A fter 4 years, I will finish my bachelor in this summer. Because of lab courses and because my stipends are cut when I work, I have not had a part-time job or worked only as a promoter for various cash-paid events.
In the next 2 years I will do my master's degree and the state exam. I plan to get really good grades in my master's degree to compensate for my average bachelor's degree. In my family I was the first to study, it took me more time to get used to the university. So, I studied 1 year longer for my bachelor and also because of corona-> studying at home was impossible and my grades suffered.
My problem/fears:
Just do not know if I am too pessimistic for the future, but I am now afraid that because of my bad bachelor grades and because I have not built up a large net work, I will be unemployed after the state examination, although there is a great shortage of pharmacists in my country.
Would then start to study CS-bachelor in 2 years since I am interest in statistic and had A in epidemiology, statistic & math
Would love to hear tips and tricks to built a bigger network and it would be better to gain more work experience or helping in a student organisation

This is an extremely long and in-depth review of this movie. The TL;DR would be that this movie has some amazing set designs and that's about all it has going for it. The costumes, acting, and story decisions are all either lacking or absolutely insane, and not in a good way. If you haven't seen the film, and you're a die hard fan of the franchise that just has to see it, check it out but beware it's not good. If you're not that die hard of a fan and you're curious if it's any good, no. It's not. Even if you've never picked up a Resident Evil game before in your life, you will still not enjoy this movie as just a zombie film.
With all that being said, here is my in-depth review of: "Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City"
I went into the movie with an open mind. I like Tom Hopper, Robbie Amell, Neal McDonough, and Donal Logue. Donal Logue is even in my favorite TV show for that matter (Gotham). And I thought the trailer looked really cool.
Now, I’m not a long time RE fan. I’d played some of 5, watched people play 7, and that was about it till last October. I saw a stream of someone playing through RE2R and it peaked my interest. I’ve now played some of Zero, got all achievements in REmake, RE2R, RE3R, and I’m only missing one in CVX. (I’ve also got all the achievements in RE:Verse)
So while I’m not a long time fan, I’ve quickly fallen in love with this series, having played REmake (my personal favorite so far) 15 times. And that was all in like a month.
My friend is a long time RE fan and he wanted me to watch the film with him. I’d heard it was terrible, but again, went in with an open mind.
First off, I found it weird that they made Chris and Claire have a connection to Umbrella. I didn’t mind the orphan thing since Claire does tell Sherry that all she has is her brother, but them growing up in the Umbrella Orphanage I wasn’t a fan of.
I also found it very strange that Lisa Trevor had a hole to the orphanage but we will return to that.
I immediately loved how accurate and amazing the sets looked. The set designer clearly was passionate about this project.
On the flip side, I thought the costumes, while looking accurate also, looked cheap. You can tell Leon has no padding in his vest and it looks like just a cheap button up they slapped some patches on.
So we are introduced to Leon, who I actually do not hate in this film, which does not seem to be the general opinion. I see a lot of people talk about Leon seeming stupid in this film, but I disagree. He seems inexperienced and out of his area of expertise, which makes sense with this being his first day on the job. I don't think he does anything particularly stupid in the film that can't be explained by him not knowing any better.
Then we get to the diner section.
I thought it was weird that RPD officers were mocking Leon. Like I can kind of see STARS doing it, with them being the elite of the department, but the two random officers? We don't get that from the games, actually the opposite with the "Welcome Leon" sign.
We are introduced to Jill, Wesker, and Richard... well we are never really introduced to Richard but he's there. I like Jill's actor, I think she was some of the best parts of the film, but as an interruption of Jill wasn't loving it. I always saw Jill in REmake as more of a timid young woman, not a confident and somewhat cocky marksman.
I actually LOVED Wesker in this diner section. When was seeing him get along and joke around with his buddies, I was like, "This is going to make his betrayal later hurt more." I liked the idea of introducing Wesker not as this stoic, brooding, leader but instead of a friendly guy who gets along with everyone. Makes them feel more like a family. I loved it... until later...
Now we get to the Chris and Claire scene and I also was not a huge fan of this. The part I think most of us like about the Chris and Claire relationship is how protective and caring they are of each other. Constantly worrying and trying to save each other, so why in the hell are we introduced to them in this movie as hating each other?!?
I did like seeing the mom and child that were turning and their hair was falling out, although that didn't make total sense since not every zombie had that but I digress. That and the "itchy tasty" scene were really creepy and unsettling. I was getting hyped, and just as a note, despite the negative things I've said, at this point in the film I was still enjoying it. Not loving it, but definitely didn't understand the hate... yet.
Once we are in the PD and introduced to Irons, I was kind of... confused. I assumed Wesker and Irons would've known they were both working for Umbrella and I figured Wesker would be treated as a Captain like he should, not mocked by the Chief, but I assumed it was their cover. Then the pager scene happened, and I was more confused. I came to the conclusion that OBVIOUSLY Wesker is still the bad guy in this film but he just didn't know Umbrella was about to nuke the town... right???
Then we get to the Mansion, again, amazing set design, and I'll say this might be the best version of Brad. Not that he does anything particular but you know what he didn't do? He didn't leave. I was confused about why they didn't have Barry. I also told my friend that it was weird that Richard was there when he's Bravo team but, again, I digress. Around this time I thought I figured the movie out. They were clearly mixing Wesker and Barry. Right now we'd only seen the Barry side of things,but obviously we'd eventually see the Wesker side come out and he'd betray us... right?
Brad dies in a blaze of glory, Richard dies. I made a joke with my friend that the movie was terrible because we didn't get to see Richard's shotgun blast a zombies head off, but, around this time is ACTUALLY when I started to dislike this film. Up until this point I could kind of ignore some of the bad acting, despite loving a few of these actors and knowing they can do better. I could ignore the not great costumes and some decisions, as long as I was still having fun. But around this point, I was not still having fun.
So we finally got the reveal on Wesker... except it wasn't the big reveal yet... right? He was just telling Jill he was hired to get the vials, he's leaving out the whole Tyrant stuff... right?
Anyway, so he reveals he is there to get the vials. Jill says they can't leave and they have to go save the others. Wesker refuses, Jill runs off, Wesker tries to stop her but decides to keep going. Jill finds Chris, finds out Richard is dead, and she says Wesker betrayed them, but... DID HE??? Sure, his mission is shady, but her reasoning is that he was going to leave them all behind to die. But, he has no reason to believe Richard or Chris was still alive and he didn't seem to want to leave Jill. Plus, earlier in the film when Jill says, "You were going to leave us?" It didn't seem like she was referring to him leaving them for dead, but him collecting the money and leaving STARS. When she's telling Chris all this, I felt like I'd missed something in the dialogue. Sure, Wesker was being sketchy, but he wasn't being particularly evil.
Around this time, Leon and Claire have met up. Chief Irons goes off, almost dies, comes back, he's almost killed by a zombie dog, and is saved by Claire, and let me just say, I was not a fan of that AT ALL. Even while watching the film I made it clear to my friend that I thought doing that was disgusting. He asked me why, I told him I know that Claire and Irons don't have the same story as they did in RE2R, but knowing that story, her saving him in this film just feels gross. Like if Leon did it, I could forgive him as saving his Chief. Claire doing it, I understand why, but it just doesn't feel right.
We get to the jail cell scene with Ben, I was disappointed in no Mr. X, but with them combing RE1-3, I figured we might get either Nemesis or RE1 Tyrant so I was okay with it.
Also, this might be a good point to say I liked the nod to CVX with the Ashford twins dragonfly video. I can't remember exactly when that was shown so I'll just add it here.
So, at this point, not only am I waiting on the big reveal of Wesker being evil, I'm also waiting on the reveal of Chief Irons being evil. At some point, we get to the orphanage, we are introduced to a Licker in it's awesome glory, but... Chief Irons dies...
Now like I said at the top, I love Donal Logue, and part of me is kind of glad we didn't see the creepy, murderous, body stuffer version of Irons with him, but at the same time that's integral to the character. Oh, but wait, there's more.
Lisa Trevor saves Claire and Leon. And at first I was okay with it. My theory as to why Lisa never killed Jill in the cabin is because of her being a female that maybe resembled Lisa's mother (doesn't quite work for the Chris playthrough but I always imagined Lisa being more in Jill's story than in Chris'). So I thought maybe it's not just that she recognizes Claire but also the motherly thing... Well then they reveal that Lisa still sees Claire as a friend... and I think this is also where the movie tells us that Lisa was a child at the orphanage that got experimented on. I'm sorry, but in this one scene alone you've completely destroyed one of the best and most interesting characters in Resident Evil and possibly one of the most tragic and terrifying villains in the series. Getting rid of George and Jessica Trevor takes the tragedy that is Lisa Trevor down by a lot of notches. Not that a child getting experimented on in an orphanage isn't still tragic, but the torture alongside her mother, turning her into a total monster, put only in that position because her father was hired to build this Mansion by a crazed and evil madman is far more tragic. And then they continue the mistake by making Lisa Trevor a hero. A GODDAMN HERO!! I'm not saying Lisa Trevor should be depicted as evil, but she should be depicted as a threat. She's a victim, don't get me wrong, but she's still someone trying to kill our main protagonist. But not in this. No, in this she's just a hero. Like I said, I could forgive her killing a licker. One, it's cool, two the whole female mommy thing. But when you remove the second part and just make her show them the way and let them by, you've lost me.
Back at the Mansion, Birkin is getting his vials. Oh, by the way, William Birkin is in this film. I haven't mentioned him because so far THERE HAS BEEN NO FUCKING REASON TO!! Oh, on top of that, Sherry and Annette are in this as well. Annette will be mentioned two more times in this review, and Sherry will be mentioned three. That's right, these two characters who played major roles in the second game really didn't even need to be in this one.
So anyway, as I was saying, Birkin is getting his vials, which he created without the help of his wife apparently, when suddenly Wesker comes in. They have a shootout, Wesker guns down Birkin. Birkin gets a vial, Wesker gets the rest and starts to leave, Annette tries to kill Wesker but he blows her brains out. He starts to leave again and now Sherry tries to kill Wesker, Wesker points the gun at her, then he gets shot. You're led to believe she did it but actually it was Chris, or Jill I don't recall. Wesker lays there, bleeding out, and says that he wouldn't have pulled the trigger, then he dies. No, I'm not joking. The main villain of the first game, side villain in CVX, and main villain in RE5, as well as one of the goddamn faces of the fucking series was killed. I was like, "Oh, must be a fake out." My friend snickered, which I knew meant I was wrong. They actually killed him off. Which begs the biggest fucking question of the goddamn movie... WHY IN THE FUCK DID YOU MAKE HIM WESKER WHEN HE'S PRETTY MUCH BARRY THE ENTIRE FILM!!! Like SERIOUSLY!! I know the rebuttal to that could be that the film NEEDED to have Wesker, and while I would usually agree, I wouldn't necessarily say that's the case for this one, I'll get to that later, but even if the film did need a Wesker, fucking cut out the stupid Lisa Trevor bullshit and take the time you would've put into that into making Wesker. Hell, remove Irons too while you're at it. Don't fucking give me Barry Burton and slap Wesker over his name tag and expect me not to notice. Also, on top of this, Jill forgives Wesker before he dies. I already said earlier that I don't feel like Wesker did anything to seriously betray them and with his final words being that he wouldn't kill a child, I felt like they didn't even attempt to make Wesker a villain in this film.
So anyway, Chris, Jill, and Sherry leave. Birkin comes back. Chris and Birkin fight. The design looks weird, but whatever, by this point of the film I stopped really caring. Also, Leon and Claire are doing something at this point in the film but I'm not joking when I say I literally don't remember AT ALL what they did the rest of this film till the very end.
Birkin dies, oh but wait he doesn't. They escape. They get on the train from the end of RE2R, Leon and Claire are on there as well, Leon ask who the kid is, the same thing the audience has been thinking the entire time, and you think it's over. But in classic RE style, there's a final boss fight. Birkin's design here actually looks okay. The fight is lame, as were a lot of action scenes in this movie actually. Leon pops up and shoots him with an RPG which was so fucking stupid. I get it, it's a nod to the games, but the movie points out how stupid it is by Chris asking where Leon where he got it and him saying he found it. WHY IS IT ON THE TRAIN?!? They could've easily added a line into the movie about the train being mainly used to transport artillery or something, or even just crates with explosive warnings on them. But instead it's like he pulled it out of thin air.
The city is nuked, we hear a broadcast that there were no survivors, just as our heroes walk out of the train tunnel, and the title screen pops up. And by this point, you're so fucking happy the film is over.
So, in my opinion, a better solution to the Wesker problem in this film is make Hopper Barry Burton, change it to he's not getting the vials for money but for his family because they're being threatened. Let us not see the messages on the pager till after Barry dies. When he dies, zoom in and show us that the messages are being sent by Wesker. Setting him up for a villain in the second film.
Another big disappointment with this film, when it comes to story, is the lack of tyrants. Don't get me wrong, Birkin is cool and all, but I'd say tyrants are a staple of the first three games. To not have them in your movie covering the first three games is a big miss imo.
Which leads me into my next topic. I can understand combining RE2 and RE3 into one movie. But all three of the games?!? RE1 doesn't fit naturally into the story of 2 and 3 and therefore either needs to be a prelude or its own movie. And while I say they combined RE3 as well, they really didn't. They had the town getting nuked and that was it. But it's not like the sequel could cover RE3 with the city already being destroyed. Which really begs the question on if they were to make a sequel, where the hell would they go with it? Code Veronica is the only way I could see it making sense. That way we see Chris and Claire get a better bond, maybe have Leon in the film as well now as a government agent, and then lead us into RE4. But that's honestly your best bet. Not that I think this movie deserves, or will get, a sequel.
After watching this film, it really begs the question on why movie and tv shows can't just follow the story already laid out in front of them. I'm fine with some changes, it's understandable. But they botched 3 big villains in this movie, made big characters into nothing more than background characters, and completely ignored 1/3 of the story they were trying to tell. Not to mention, they absolutely left out any giant zombie creatures. We got to see a zombie dog, that was cool, but what about Yawn, Neptune, Black Tiger, any of the giant animal monsters from the games.
As far as a movie goes, not even considering the games, it's still not good. It's not good enough in any genre it tries to be in to actually be considered good. When it comes to horror, it has some moments, but really becomes less scary as the movie goes on. It has its action scenes but minus one in particular, they're all kind of boring and unoriginal. Even as a drama it doesn't work because the story being told isn't that interesting.
And what makes it worse is the acting. I know some of these actors can be great. I've seen them be great in other things. But in this they are not doing it. I don't know Leon or Jill's actors but they honestly bring the best to the movie, but even with that being said there's a good amount of scenes with both of them that just aren't acted well. And after so long you have to come to the conclusion it isn't the actors, it's either the script or the director. Is it just poorly written dialogue or are the actors not getting any direction in how to act during the scene? I don't know, but it's not great.
This movie feels like a B movie made by a fan of the games, but hasn't played the games in a very long time and also thinks they can tell a better story, despite having no idea how to write a good story.
Resident Evil shouldn't be a hard story to tell. Make it a show. Follow the games. Make files in the games into flashbacks in the show. Take the time to develop your characters. Master the horror elements and have SOME action. Make it atmospheric and have the sets, props, and costumes tell the story more than the characters. Make Spencer Mansion, RPD, and Raccoon City feel like a character, not just a set. I'm not saying I could write a Resident Evil show, I have no experience in the field, but I think any Resident Evil fan could've looked at the script for this movie and said, "Yea, this isn't good."

Part 2
​
Recently, I have been hit by a writing bug for a story I’m working on, where the entire thing will be a combination of Warehouse 13 and Kingdom Hearts. I want the story to be a critique of both how postmodernism functions and how it destroys contemporary culture by trying to subvert that which works and that which people enjoy. In order for me to write this story, I am required to study both postmodernism and satire of postmodernism, which has strangely led me to a little cartoon from the middle of the 2000s known as Drawn Together.
It ran for 3 seasons, had a direct-to-DVD movie, and vanished from the face of the Earth after that. Nobody dares to mention it and yet there are tons of youtube clips of it that are filled with praise in the comments. People love the show, yet nobody can mention its name without social backlash from the woke left. Why is that? Well, let’s get into what the show even is to begin with.
Like every chick who dresses as Harley Quinn for Halloween, it has some severe issues that are treated as normal.
Postmodernism was already popular by the time we hit the 2000s, and by this time we have had postmodernist media for about 40 years. An entire generation worth of rejecting modernism. With this, we gained a lot of different media styles and new genres. The internet was growing into something capable of creating flash cartoons, movies like Fredy Got Fingered popularized shock comedy and neo dada, we started to have shock jocks take over the airwaves with uncensored satellite radio, and soap operas for the ladies were being replaced with reality TV.
Postmodernism allows for a blending of media and real life to create a hyper reality where we can’t see where media begins and reality ends. Media is part of our lives, all day every day, in this highly connected and social media focused postmodernist era. Even now, we wake up to our pop music alarm clock that holds notifications to our social media and the only way to escape media is to leave society and never read anything. That’s impossible for most of us, so we’re stuck in this hyper reality where we’re always watching others and we ourselves are always being watched. We’re at a point in history where people can become popular by just filming themselves making a goofy sound, vomiting, or taking off their clothes.
Usually it’s all three.
This should concern everyone, yet we tend to embrace the absurd reality that is postmodernism and reality tv. Despite common belief, reality TV began with Candid Camera, a show from 1948 where people would be filmed while being at the butt end of a prank. This kind of filming was a look into how real people provide real reactions to things when they aren’t expecting certain situations, which is actually in relation to the neorealism film movement that was inspired by the poetic realism french film movement. We enjoy seeing pranks being done because we get to see a real person provide real emotion and it’s no different than seeing a fight break out in real life, or seeing a car crash. It’s that train wreck mentality that keeps us glued to the scene as shit gets real.
Or was it the shit that glues us to the train as our real mentality gets wrecked?
It’s the same reason we love to see game shows and court shows and Jerry Springer. Add in some sexual exploitation like busty Ukranians and you have Naked Funny, which is a show people search for without caring about any words being said, since it’s a show with zero dialogue but plenty of mouth watering mammaries. Have the exploitation be where people are horrifically injured or do something sensational, and you have Jackass. Have a bunch of people pretend to be outraged and engage in scripted events while living in a single house, and you have The Real World.
That’s right: it’s a show with fake situations and it’s called The Real World.
This type of “reality” TV caused a massive issue in media because it allowed incredibly fake situations to pass as real, and there was no way to counter it because people were convinced it’s real. Just like professional wrestling, just like any show featuring a magician and a paid audience, just like any porno, there is a mix of real things and fake things that create this ambiguous state of hyper reality. Yes, a person can actually be hit by a chair or a sledgehammer, but there’s no way someone is going to be trying to win a match by holding their hand over the head of the sledgehammer and lightly tapping the other guy with it. Obviously, they don’t want to hit their co-worker, unless they’re in a porn shoot with a white woman. That’s when it’s fair game.
Postmodernism is a term that postmodernists try to avoid defining, because of the main doctrine of postmodernism: there is no such thing as a truth that can be verified by human experience. This means that anything being stated must be an opinion and thus everything being stated is completely disconnected from one another. A postmodernist is unable to make a clear and definitive statement that is true, because it goes against their doctrine. Everything must be vague and open-ended. Everyone has an equally valid interpretation. With that kind of mentality, art can be anything we want to call art. Rules are there to be broken, especially if they are rules of a broadcasting network. The R rating, the X rating, the unrated, these are products of postmodernism, due to the intention to break rules.
Subjectivity, blurring of genres, juxtaposition, playfulness, skepticism of a grand narrative, intertextuality, irony, pastiche, appropriation; all of these things are what makes postmodernism appealing to the masses. There is no desire to make something good, so the goal is to do something else, like be blindly entertaining or blindly propagandist. There is so much art before postmodernism and so much established through modernism, like science, that the goal of the postmodernist is to deconstruct all of that and make it feel like none of it matters.
Despite all of the deconstructionism and subversion that comes with postmodernism, media still has to appeal to an audience, and an audience reacts well to archetypes. We don’t know who to cheer for if we don’t know who is the heel and who is the good guy. There can’t be drama if there isn’t some red haired succubus or pampered shrew to throw a wrench in the circle of hotties. And at the same time, we can’t have all of them being that type of person, or else there’s nobody to root for. In the most ironic way possible, postmodernism is required to appeal to archetypes even more than modernism, due to the demand for audience retention and interaction.
Every reality show had to have at least one of every archetype, but remember: it’s totally real, everyone. It just so happened that there’s only one sneaky bitch and there’s only one cool guy and there’s only one innocent girl and there’s only one slacker. It was by random, totally not on purpose, and you’re crazy if you think producers are controlling the environment of these shows in any way. Same goes for dating shows like Next. It’s obvious that these people with their one liners and bad acting are being honest with all of us.
If you didn’t get it by now: I’m being sarcastic, these shows are faker than lady boy tits and the apologies from Bud Light for advertising with such fake tits. And yet, people can’t stop watching these pointless shows. Even I enjoy it, because of how dumb it is. A big part of my life after school was relaxing late at night with MTV and watching stupid reality tv shows. Even respectable ones like Cops were dumb because the entire show was about police officers finding people breaking the law. The entertainment comes from people ruining their day or their entire life with one dumb act after another.
You’re probably wondering: What does any of this have to do with Drawn Together?
Well, imagine all of these reality shows mixed into a cartoon and then each cartoon archetype is from a different type of cartoon. That’s Drawn Together, and the show gets more insane from that point on. The eras of cartoons are represented by the cast members who are to live in one house, as a satire of things like The Real World and as parody of cartoon archetypes. You have Princess Clara(a parody of the Disney Princess), Foxxy(a parody of 70s mystery solving cartoons like Scooby-doo), Xandir(a parody of 80s Nintendo and action cartoons), Wooldoor(a parody of 90s style Nickelodeon shows like Spongebob), Ling-Ling (a parody of anime like Pokemon), Spanky(a parody of internet cartoons from the early 2000s), Toot(a parody of 1930s black and white cartoons like Betty Boop and Popeye), and Captain Hero (a parody of 90s superhero cartoons like Batman Animated Series and Animated Superman).
These character types are all based on their known stereotypes when it comes to appearance, with their appearances never really mixing since these are all different types of cartoons from different styles. You never see a Pikachu with a Batman, or a human unmasker talk to a video game character, or a human princess from a fairy tale talk to a farting pig from the internet. These things never happen in their environment because these things don’t mix. Then the show puts all of these unrelatable characters into a single house to provide random challenges in the same way reality tv does in order to juxtapose the genres.
The art styles also are juxtaposed. Captain hero is drawn with a square jaw, while Toot is drawn incredibly circular and with a giant head. Woldor has giant white eyes while Foxxy only has pupils. Xandir and Claira are drawn rather similar, but even they have their differences with colors and the thickness of the outline. To the untrained eye, these are easy to miss, but to the artist, these are great homages to the very style something is drawn in. An important part to note is that these are all based on other things and are meant to represent them as symbols. There’s no reason for any of this, yet the show does it anyway.
This is what postmodernism is all about: doing things for the sake of doing it. Juxtaposition is a big part of postmodernism. Blending genres and mixing them around is a big part of postmodernism. Subverting tropes to claim originality is a big part of postmodernism. Non-sequitur is a big part of postmodernism. This entire show is one of the most postmodernist things you can find out there and I love everything about it.
You might be thinking “Is Erwin sick? He talks day and night about how postmodernism sucks and then says he loves Drawn Together. Is this an imposter?!”No, it’s me. I’m simply able to understand the purpose of the show, and I love the meta attempt in all of it: the show is a postmodernist attack on… postmodernism. Everything in the show is designed to be a massive middle finger to how postmodernism functions, by being the dysfunctional postmodernist mess it is. From how meaningless the challenges are, to how characters can never die all the way, to how 4th wall jokes stop the show, to how there is a mundane message tacked on at the very end. Everything in this show is a jab at postmodernism, but at the cost of the show’s own integrity.
In the story I’m working on, I would be required to present postmodernism in it so that I can critique it. But, if my entire story revolves around only that, then I would be presenting postmodernism the entire time, which means I can’t separate the thing that I’m attacking from my work, just how a story about the evils of racism would have to feature a racist. Postmodernists attacking postmodernists is the same as a racist saying “racism is fine, but only in the way I do it.”
But is all postmodernism really the same? The show is hated now, after all, right?
Yes, it’s hated now, because it(ironically) went against the grand narrative that postmodernists currently hold, but it was part of the narrative that was held during the early 2000s. Barely 20 years ago, less than half of a generation, millennials were being raised by exploitation. I know that the postmodernists hate it when I use this word to describe nearly all of postmodernism, but by definition, it’s exploitation. You can blame the 80s for this, because once home media became popular, we had movies that went straight to VHS and then later DVDs that were able to push the envelope.
That’s what postmodernism started as: a way to push the envelope.
South Park and Simpsons didn’t do things that were part of the status quo. They went against it to then become the status quo right after. In fact, there’s an amazing joke from the show Bevis and Butthead(another example of postmodernism) that captures this phenomena perfectly, where the two go to a radio show because they were the only caller, and then they influence the radio show by saying stuff sucks and stuff is stupid.
Their own stupidity and negativity was seen as a sort of punk culture by the viewers and so they demanded the radio host, who was angry at them, to do the same. And so, the next day, the radio host does exactly what he threw Bevis and Butthead out for doing. This complete hypocrisy that somehow there are rules, but they can be broken if the money is there, is something Drawn Together also tackled.
The entire first season was all about having pointless challenges with a character called Jew Producer, who was a parody of both Richie Rich and Donald Trump. How did they connect these 3? Easy: Donald Trump had a show called The Apprentice, Richie Rich was a cartoon, and a Jewish producer is a Hollywood cliche that's entirely true. A lot of Jewish people produce Hollywood stuff and TV shows. I don’t know why this is a controversial statement or why the left always gets insulted by that fact, but they constantly freak out the second someone mentions that someone like Harvey Winstein exists.
While I’m talking about controversies, Adam Carolla, the voice of Spanky, was blacklisted by Hollywood because he decided to do the cardinal sin of… demanding free speech in a country with free speech as a constitutional right. I know, how dare he! It shouldn’t surprise us that the former hippies who ran Hollywood on the backbone of free speech and demanded freedom of expression are now against… freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Meanwhile, Tara Strong, a proud jewish woman, voices a character like Princess Clara, with Princess Clara being a racist, homophobic, anti-semite who is also in a sexual relationship with her father.
So, let’s recap: a jewish woman is able to do the voice for such a terrible thing, yet an Italian male comedian is not able to ask for the acceptance to joke about such topics.
Why is this even a thing?Well, at first it really puzzled me, but like when we saw the left defending drag queen acts in front of children, it finally clicked. The problem in Hollywood isn’t that something terrible is said or written or put in a show. A white princess saying terrible things is normal to them, because that’s how they view white people. Their fear is that something might make a non-white person look bad. Something might make the LGBT look bad. There might be an “uncomfortable truth” revealed in a chain of unregulated jokes.
One of the most profitable postmodernist comedians around, Dave Chappelle, was canceled over making trans jokes, despite being a good friend of a trans person who killed themselves after… trans advocates hated the trans person due to being friends with Dave Chappelle. The woke are disgusting people, to put it bluntly. Zero people were harmed by Dave’s comedy, yet the woke harassing people has a death toll that’d make Pol Pot take notes on their efficiency.
So the difference between Tara and Adam is that Adam wants to make jokes about anything, while Tara is just doing her job and reading the script. The free thinker is the threat, while the obedient follower is not. That’s why Tara still gets jobs and Adam is off doing a podcast and somehow still making millions. I’m sure he’s wiping his tears with gold bullion over the thought of no longer being able to do voices for farting animated pigs.
But what exactly makes Drawn Together hated?
To be honest, I didn’t even know someone could hate the show until I was around 20 or so. Some online people I chatted with told me how offended they were by the show and I never understood what offended even meant until that era. I watched the show throughout my teen years without a care in the world. To me, it was another adult animated show that tried to do anything offensive and it was funny all around. Some of the subject matter, contains but is not limited to:

• Incest
• Self harm
• Suicide
• Homoerotic behavior
• Satanic rituals
• Genocide
• Mass murder
• Mass shootings
• Fat jokes
• Donkey shows
• Cannibalism
• Necrophilia
• Pedophila
• Mexican babies getting pregnant
• Asians and their inability to drive
• Black fathers leaving their kids
• Lewd conduct
• Shitting on a pizza
• A live action squirrel with big balls
• An old man with dirty balls
• And let’s not forget the idea that Clara’s vagina is a giant hentai tentacle monster

All of these things are put in the show to offend us, because the show intends on making people go “ew”. If the constant vomit, blood, shit, piss, burps, farts, cum, sweat, and queefs aren’t a dead give away of them trying to gross the audience out, I don’t know what is. The point of the show is to do exactly what the 90s and early 2000s is all about: doing stuff that is gross so you laugh at how gross it is. Nickelodeon was notorious for this intention of grossing people out, to the point where they would throw green slime around just for fun. As fun as it looks to be drenched in green slime like a Leprechaun bukkake, the goal is to make the audience say “ew… cool!” because that is a male oriented reaction.
And this is where we find the split in postmodernism. When postmodernism began as a means of subverting modernism and regulations, it quickly became a cesspool of creative INABILITY thanks to the woke taking over. We went from freedom of expression to being required to advocate, which is a detriment to comedy. Recently, we had a controversy over a show called Big Mouth, which was hated by the right for being considered pedophilic and indoctrination, because the characters were teenagers dealing with puberty monsters and were depicted as being sexualized.
This is one of the many areas the right is losing the battle on, because so many of them are trying to be Platoist or Mohism, meaning they want some kind of hyper utilitarian and aesthetic free environment due to a hatred of art. Plato believed that art was an “imitation”, that it was a “copy of a copy of a form”. It was a corruption and perversion of reality, thus he saw art as evil. Mo-Zi, a Chinese philosopher who shared a lot of his views, also saw art as a pointless distraction because it’s not the responsibility of the government. These kinds of “right wingers” are accidentally falling for philosophies that pave the way for socialism, so it’s hard to take their positions on art seriously when they can’t see how brainwashed their approach is.
I’m going to go with the Jews on this one and say that art is very important, and so is freedom to make art.
Big mouth is not a show that I will say is one of my favorites, but it’s nothing as how the right wanted to depict it as. Obviously these are just people who wanted the next Cuties outrage and they had a swing n’ a miss. The left, on the other hand, is able to say something like Drawn Together is offensive to them and so it must be canceled. And lo, we have the tumblr people unable to reblog about it, we have reddit radio silent about it, we have twitter people afraid to meme with it, but then it’s still prospering in places like youtube.
People want to watch it, but nobody is brave enough to talk about it in fear of being canceled.
The show is a Martyr in two ways:

1. It is a postmodernist work attacking postmodernism
2. It is a dead form of comedy due to both the left and the right trying to cancel things like it

I already went over the second point by talking about Big Mouth, but I will quickly reiterate: the right and the left want to cancel things that are offensive, but for different reasons. Something like Drawn Together would be hated by something like Daily Wire, and yet I am a conservative who loves the show. I understand that the show is making fun of stuff, I understand it’s gross out humor and pointless nonsense. I love that it’s aware of what it is, to the point where they had an episode where Spanky goes to see their #1 critic and it’s a Jewish, conservative, pro-life, born-again, overweight, Asian, homophobic, lesbian broad who cuts herself.
He then straight up tells her that she’s not their audience, so her opinion doesn’t matter on whether or not the show is good. And he’s right, if you aren’t the audience for something, why should anyone listen to your opinion on the thing you instantly don’t like? It’s like if I had an opinion about which sports team is better. I am 100% uninformed about anything sports related, and the only sport I ever willingly watched was professional wrestling. That’s a sport, right?
Either way, the show is aware that it’s offensive. It’s proud to be offensive. Each character has their own way of offending, both when it comes to a group and when it comes to art itself. This is when postmodernism kicks in and subversion is used to create a surreal environment suited for satire and parody.
As a quick reminder: Satire is when a subject is critiqued and parody is when a subject is used for a joke. An example of this would be where satire is when Scream uses movie tropes to figure out a murder and parody is when the alien from Signs pees with his finger in Scary Movie.
Princess Clara is the Disney princess. Usually a Disney princess seeks a prince to live happily ever after, and she is pure of heart. They subvert this by attaching a bit of reality to the word “princess” and have her in a sexual relationship with her father because princesses would sometimes do that to keep royalty in the family. She’s also a racist and Christian, because royalty in Europe was Christian and it’s “old fashion” for a rich white girl to be racist. Although they keep her desire to sing, the lyrics are still going to hold her views about people, so the humor comes in how she delivers terrible things with a cheery tone. Her character is meant to make fun of traditionalist people, all while using the Disney princess as a face.
With the way wokeness is going, I don’t see a difference between Clara and the current Disney princess now.
Foxxy Love is the Hanna-Barbera style mystery character who is meant to solve crimes, most likely inspired by Valerie Brown from Josie and the Pussycats. She suberts the role by causing crimes and being a degenerate all over. She is a slut, she acts ghetto, she constantly has abortions, you know the deal. This juxtaposition comes from the fact that Valerie is meant to be a hippie musician, and black women on reality TV are depicted as ghetto thanks to shows like Flavor of Love. And for those who don’t know, hippie musicians are usually promiscuous and incredibly loose, with zero regard for decency or sticking to one sex partner because they are all about second wave feminism.
Again, ironically the woke have caused this subversion to be their intentional norm for a lot of black female characters, only they see it as virtuous instead of comical.
Wooldoor Sockbat is the Nickelodeon style hyperactive loony toon who is meant to be both stupid and gullible. There’s not much subversion here with personality, but it’s all with how far he’s willing to go with his zany humor, such as randomly threatening to suck someone’s dick and having giant tits out of nowhere, which he will then squish into the camera while crying. He’s meant to be loud and random, just like Spongebob or Stimpy. However, with the way Spongebob has become after their first movie, the only thing separating Wooldoor from something like Spongebob is direct word usage.
Plus, Ren and Stimpy had their adult party cartoon reboot made by the creator, so doing something gay and entirely disturbing is nothing new for that kind of character. I still can’t believe that it came out in 2003. In fact, I can’t believe Ren and Stimpy was on Nickelodeon with the stuff they put in there. But, that’s the appeal of Wooldoor, because he does the stuff people have been doing with characters like him for years. I would even say he’s not much of a satire since he’s so close to the content he’s meant to make fun of.
Xandir Wifflebottom is the 80s action cartoon parody, as well as early video game cartoons. During the 80s and 90s, we had a lot of Nintendo shows like Legend of Zelda, which took after plot scripts like Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man, and other product placement shows during that time. Only a few episodes of Drawn Together make fun of these simple action plots, but this connection between the merchandise advertising shows and video game cartoons is important, since they are the same thing, and it’s a product of postmodernism. Shows during the 80s and 90s that were simply there to sell something with the show, whether it was a game or a toy, were part of this media and real life blur. His gayness comes from how people viewed both He-Man and Link, since Link was a feminine looking elf and He-Man was a muscular dude who didn’t wear a shirt when he’s fighting.
This one is kind of interesting since it touches on the subject of queer coding. The left is so desperate to feel like the LGBT is represented, they will declare something is gay because it “feels gay”. This feeling is based on whoever is attracted to a fictional character, so if gay men are attracted to He-Man, or if they like his outfit, then that means he’s totally gay. Link is a character who has sadly been considered a “gay icon” by websites like Polygon, all because the designers made him rather gender neutral in later games in order for him to appeal to a female fanbase that was growing. And when they say gender neutral, they mean “he’s not muscular and he has a pretty face”, similar to practically any 00s alt rock band memeber.
Apparently, having that and then having gay people make gay fanfics about the character instantly means the character is gay. The show made fun of this queer coding nonsense by making Xandir a raging homosexual that is constantly killed like a Mortal Kombat character.
Captain Hero, my favorite character, is the comic book show hero that we all know and love. He’s meant to save the day from evil villains, but they subvert his role by having him be entirely useless and usually the cause of mass destruction. He has superpowers, but he’s so stupid and useless that he doesn’t use them most of the time, like when he is immune to bullets but he still grabs a random woman to use her as a “hero shield” when getting shot at. His character makes fun of how postmodernist super heroes try to depict the classic hero as a terrible monster or some kind of morally warped anti-hero. This is due to how Batman went from whacky detective to psychotic nut job during the transition from the 60s to the 80s, thanks to influences like Alan Moore’s Watchman and Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. His character is more like a Superman, which the Bizzaro Superman comics have covered that kind of thing to make way for a super powered idiot who has sex with corpses.
Why does he have sex with dead bodies? Well, because he’s “alien” to us, the point of the joke is that he’s so super powered that he can do whatever he wants, and uses his powers to have sex with something that can’t fight back. Kind of a “he can have any woman he wants, but he would rather have sex with a rotten corpse” kind of thing. Or maybe it’s making fun of how Superman cares about Lois Lane even though she might as well be a rotten corpse to him, because she’s a human and he’s an alien. Either way, it covers a big problem we started to get in the 90s where superheroes were quickly becoming hyper violent assholes who do anything disgusting for the sake of shock value.
Ling-Ling is basically a Pikachu, but here he will battle with anything and cause gory deaths upon his opponent. The joke is that kid shows featuring these little monsters, like Pokemon and Digimon, will have zero blood, and yet the attacks they do are strong enough to cause giant explosions. Thankfully, these go past the typical Dorkly joke and Ling-Ling will also have jokes centered around being Asian and have a made up language that sounds Japanese because he says “kitowa” a lot.
Just like Xandir, Ling-Ling is treated like a punching bag by the others in nearly every episode, and I think it has to do with the video game relation, since Pokemon began as a video game and the show was there as a way of advertising the product. Plus, during the 00s, there was little respect for something like anime, no matter how much someone knew about the golden age of 80s anime.
Spanky Ham is something I’m not really sure what influenced him, but it’s said it might be an early flash cartoon called Evil Piggies. However, there is a flash cartoon from 1997 made by John K, the creator of Ren and Stimpy, called The Goddamn George Liquor Program, that seems more in line with Spanky’s scat fetish. Early internet cartoons usually had people’s faces done in a South Park style, where the mouth moved by cutting the bottom half off and moving that up and down. When I went on Newgrounds during that time, all I would see were stick figures, parodies of existing cartoons, and something like Ctrl+Alt+Del where the characters were drawn as humans in that typical web comic style. He might have also been inspired by Happy Tree Friends, which first came out in 1999, so the idea of cute animals dying randomly, and the crude humor of The Goddamn George Liquor Program might have caused a farting pig to come into fruition.
The joke is that he’s a pig who likes to drink and have sex, as well as be disgusting, but then somehow he’s also like Ren where he has schemes to make money. I forget if there is a word for this kind of character, but he’s the Squidward type who always gets harmed by his own greed. There is also a lot of Fritz the Cat in his character, which was an animated movie based on an underground comic about a cat who would go on sexual escapades. This “cartoon animal doing adult stuff” has been a joke since the 60s, and even Howard the Duck had issues with what Nostalgia Critic calls “duck boobies”. Speaking of adult ducks, there is even a show called Duckman that was made by the same company that made Rugrats.
People treat Bojak Horseman as this hip new thing when it’s simply part of a long line of animated foul mouth farm animals wearing suits.
Finally, Toot Braunstein is the representative of silent cartoons. Betty Boop was seen as sexy for being curvy, and the joke is that Toot is just plain fat and old, with her body hair and repulsiveness, as well as her tits always sagging to her cankles. She is always harming herself because of a self-esteem issue, caused by her weight and age, which is joined by an alcoholic problem due to her being from the roaring 20s. The joke is that she’s that girl in every reality TV show that is completely disgusting to look at, but she’ll see herself as a hot chick despite hitting the wall so hard that illegals can pour through the cracks. Plus, people believe Betty Boop was based on Clara Bow, who was a flapper “it girl” who suffered from hard drug use, schizophrenia, and was constantly rejected for being too fat.
Toot is the only one in the list who’s not directly a product of postmodernism, but there was a particular charm to rubber hose animation(gained its name for how limbs acted like rubber hoses) that continued onward to create things like Ren and Stimpy, Loony Toons, Tom and Jerry, and even some movies that tried to revive properties of the 30s. The Popeye movie is a great example as to how studios in the postmodernist era tried to desperately mix live action with cartoons, and same goes with Who Framed Roger Rabbit with how it was a movie that mixed live action with rubber hose animation.
Part 2

I was once again awoken by those god forsaken voices and lay in my bed cursing my life. I could hear my father moving around in the other room, and could tell that he had already been drinking.
I flinched as his footsteps approached my door but breathed a sigh of relief as he walked past. I reached up to my gently caress my neck while thinking of all of the times he has strangled me until I lost consciousness.
I gaze out my window at what many people would have called a picturesque town, but I know that it and all of it's inhabitants are cursed.
Every single one of us hasn't aged a day in almost forty years, and there doesn't seem to be anyway to end this.
I notice my neighbour walking around outside in his garden. His mind had broken years ago and if you try and speak to him, all he says is nonsensical sentences. His two sons just sit in the garden staring off into nothingness whilst praying for death.
I make my way downstairs for breakfast and feel a glimmer of sadness as I see my mother sitting there. She spends her entire time trying to keep us happy, but I know she hates our father but is too afraid to leave him.
My father downs another beer while proudly announcing that he lost his job again. I try my best not to have any reaction in fear of angering him. My mother just smiles and tells him that it is fine.
I think back on all of the horrible deeds my father has committed and cannot help but wish he was dead. I know for a fact that he bullied a coworker so relentlessly that the poor man ended up killing himself. Yet he suffered no repercussions and people ended up laughing about it afterwards.
My sister drags me from the table and tells me she needs to talk to me about something. I can feel my father's gaze on the back of my neck as we make our way to her bedroom.
I sit there with my mouth hanging open as my sister starts rambling on about us all being dead. I initially think she is crazy but the more I listen, the more it makes sense.
I once again reach for my neck and know in my heart, that he took it too far one time and strangled me to death.
She pointed out that our youngest sister was probably a stillbirth as that is why there isn't a single picture of her in our house.
She was fighting back tears as she admitted taking her own life, as depression had overwhelmed her due to how much our parents expected of her.
I held her against me trying to comfort her as her sobbing seemed never-ending. She finally moved back from my grip and told me she had to show me something.
She grabbed something out of a press and I barely had time to react as she plunged a knife into my chest. I stumbled to the floor as she told me that everything was going to be okay as death overcame me.
My eyes shot open and I slowly pushed myself to my feet. I stood there transfixed gazing around at the ruined wastelands.
It took me a few seconds to realise this was the ruined remains of our hometown. I wandered around choking on the putrid air whilst trying not to get close to the mutilated remains that lay scattered everywhere.
I was beginning to get lightheaded due to all of the radiation that was stemming from the nearby power plant. I gazed over at the noxious gases pouring out of a giant hole in the side of the building and knew my father was responsible.
My legs gave way beneath me and I slumped to the floor. I could feel blood oozing out of every orifice as I gently lay my head down and lost consciousness.
I awoke once again in my bed with my sister sitting there squeezing my hand. I kissed her on the cheek as I finally understood why we were doomed.
My eyes were drawn to the blue sky as those screaming voices once again called out "The Simpsons", and knowing there was no escape from our hellish life.

Hi all, I’m freshly graduated with a masters degree in Pharmacy. Have had experience in a community pharmacy, and as a pharm tech in a drug compounding lab. I’ve been working as an assistant in reg affairs in a large CRO for six months, but I don’t feel happy at all. Compensation is somewhat okay, but there’s huge turnover, basically no work and since the departments is non billable I feel there’s no room for growth and developing my skills. I’m looking to break into clinical, no luck so far. I’m located in Europe, and here there aren’t any opportunities for bridge programs, everywhere it states that monitoring experience is required, yet no offers for jobs where you can gain such. Do you think it’s reasonable to invest a year of my time to be a site coord (really hard to find those too) or should I emphasise on networking (as I see some people have been able to skip over entry-level jobs with 0 experience)? thx

(Wrote more than I intended to. TL;DR at the bottom)
For relevant context, the children in question are 17 1/2 year old young men, and we have already had quite a few in-depth discussions about safe, responsible intercourse; including what accessible resources are available in order to navigate responsible sex properly. However, I just read a pretty upsetting post on /AmITheDevil, and the subsequent comments really drove home for me that while I feel I’ve done a pretty decent job in teaching my soon-to-be adult sons about the importance of safe sex, there are many, many other aspects to having a healthy perspective on sex than just safety, and they’re uneducated in these areas. And not just uneducated, most likely completely unaware.
The OOP in question had a BUNCH of giant red flags in his post/comment history, and it was pointed out that his ignorance and emotionally stunted character were causing not only mental/emotional pain for his wife, but likely physical pain, as well. And as a woman in my mid-30’s, I’ve experienced the pain of sex with a man who only cared about his gratification, and didn’t at ALL consider even my basic comfort. I think back on those instances at times, and feel so used and heartbroken for my past self. Though I have made considerable strides towards healing from that, there’s no forgetting that.
And with all that in mind, I cannot and will not have my sons set loose upon the adult world and end up doing some shady sexual shit (knowingly or otherwise) that ‘bro-ciety’ has led him to believe is normal. For most women, sex without adequate arousal hurts. Sex with a partner you don’t feel exactly safe with hurts. Sex with a selfishly brutish partner like OOP hurts! My sons need to know shit like this, and a great deal of the sexual exposure that young men experience is simply inaccurate, if not flat out harmful . Think along the lines of conversations about sex with their equally unaware guy friends, or perhaps worse yet, the demonstrations they’ll find on PornHub.
I communicate quite freely and openly with my kids, and I have no reservations about cluing them in on what not to do as an intimate partner, but that’s only half the battle. They also need to know the right things to do, but that cannot come from me. That crosses a HARD boundary into inappropriate and creepy, imo. Disclaimer: at least for my family dynamic, anyway. If that is what works for someone else and their kids, no judgment whatsoever (though maybe a tinge of jealousy).
Anyway, what I (and I think they) would be comfortable with in this regard would be to send them a couple reliable resources that focus on the educational aspect of being a respectful, communicative, and knowledgeable intimate partner. Content from sex therapists or other such professionals in the sexual wellness field, for example. Podcasts, YouTube channels, audiobooks, any sort of media.
Now, I completely understand that some parents out there might feel that even this approach to sex is ‘weird’ or ‘creepy’. And believe me, I 100% get that. I feel weird just typing this post out. But to put it simply, when young adults don’t have a comprehensive understanding of healthy sexual activity, people get hurt; both emotionally and physically. SO much of the hurt we feel and the pain we inflict could be prevented by just a wee bit of education. And since I can’t be their teacher on this, who would y’all recommend as a substitute?
TL;DR where can I find informative, tactful , appropriate resources about sexual intelligence, preferably geared toward young adults? I’ve just realized how woefully uneducated my 17 1/2 year old twin sons are outside of basic concepts like trying to avoid pregnancy/STIs. 🙃

Does anyone know of any websites, pharmacies, doctor offices or places that offer Ozempic or the other comparable weight-loss medications at an affordable price? I currently receive mine at a med spa near me but it's hundreds of dollars a month & gets pretty pricey. I initially decided to get it through this med spa 6 weeks ago bc it was recommended by my Dad and step Mom. My Dad paid for the first month but said he would only be paying for 2 out of 4 weeks after that & that I would be responsible for paying for the other 2 weeks if I still wanted to get it.
Obviously this is completely understandable and I'm very grateful that he's even paying for any of it at all. However, this does mean that I'm still paying a few hundred dollars out of my own pocket each month. I currently only have time to work part-time at my job as I'm taking summer classes full-time and like most other college students, I don't have a lot of money 😅).
I really do love the med spa I go to but if there are other, cheaper alternatives then of course I would like to pursue those instead. Any input, suggestions, or advice would help a lot & would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!!
