Update:
In case you all were wondering, /r/drama's description of me as looking like "Post Malone if the amount of weed consumed was estrogen" no longer stands. I now bear zero resemblance to any of the pictures that exist of me. In prison, I shaved my head bald and started working out.

I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.
Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

Copy pasting the first part of this so lazy girlies don't have the experience the stress of !clinklickers
As the sheen on dating apps dulls, more Americans are reporting bad experiences on them. Frustrated by bots, subscription costs and high effort-to-reward ratios, Gen Z is fleeing the apps in hope of real-life meet-cutes. Earlier this year, “Bustle” declared that dating apps are in their “flop era.”
Not all of the apps are taking this backlash without a fight. On Tuesday, after months of internal shake-ups and stock market woes, Bumble took a shot at winning back hearts and minds with a redesign, which includes a break with the app's requirement that women make the first move.
A new feature, which the company has called “Opening Moves,” allows women to place on their profiles a question, like “What is your dream vacation?,” to which men who match can respond. (In nonbinary and same-gender matches, both sides can include these prompts.)
The shift is a major one for Bumble. Until now, a man who matched with a woman on the app had to wait for her to message him. If she did not initiate a conversation, the match would expire after 24 hours.
Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 because of her own personal experiences. She said that the idea was to give women more control. “I had a series of bad relationships, and I felt I was controlled by a man,” she added, “whether it was: Don't wear this or, You can't hang out with this person or, You need to be home at this time.”
But over the years, Bumble received feedback from women who found that making the first move was “a lot of work” or “a burden,” and Ms. Wolfe Herd began thinking about how to release the pressure. Opening Moves, she said, is a result of that process, a way to let women maintain control while not feeling the stress of initiating all of the conversations.
But not copying the whole thing because The Gray Lady be a notoriously litigious b-word.

Beautytok is all up in the shit right now and it's actually kind of funny so ima tell you all about it!
A few months ago a new makeup brand called Youthforia caught some flak from black beauty creators because their foundation shade range was basically non-existent for black people, and that's not allowed unless you're a Korean or Japanese brand (for obvious reasons). The owner of the brand (who is asian but is American and Youthforia is an American brand) actually came out and tried to defend their shade range by UNIRONICALLY saying it was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and was met with even more criticism because we all aren't fricking BLIND and that's STUPID. AND all of the shades on the box were NOT the shades that you get in the bottle so darker shades were actually even lighter than advertised which only made people more upset.
SO to appease the masses Youthforia expanded their shade range and introduced like 5 new shades for darker skintoned people and now everyone wants to burn down their HQ.
IT'S FRICKING SHOE POLISH BLACK. This shade is a literal asian-on-black hate crime and everyone is soooooper mad because it's LITERALLY black face paint. The shade is being compared to minstrel makeup and now Youthforia is sooper raycist.
Like you know if Time fricking magazine orders a rush job article about your debacle you done fricked up good.
Anyhoo tiktok is all abuzz with their pitchforks and you can pick pretty much any video about it and watch jaqqoffs slaughter each other in the comments with whataboutism and "muh cousin's neighbor is black like a tire and would love this!"
It's great.

Nothing happening yet as of 7:55 PM. Pro Hamas supporters are in the encampment on campus. Outside are a bunch more protestors holding a rally.
A block away LAPD are lining up the cop cars and getting riot gear ready. Prison buses are apparently on the way as well to handle arrests. Pro Hamas Sympathizers are vowing they will defend their encampment.
This comes after last night where fights broke out when Based Jews came to UCLA with metal pipes and fireworks and started attacking the terrorist sympathizers in their encampment. The UCLA admin has a huge frick up on their hands where they've managed to make all sides mad by not taking this seriously after the pro muzzie supporters started blocking jewis cough sorry I meant “Zionist” students from being able to get to class on Monday. LA City Mayor Karen Bass has asked the LAPD to clear out the encampments as a result.
Some fake news sources to catch up on:

Most of these morons know better, they have hundreds if not thousands of hours in tarkov and know full well any item you get in the higher edition of the game served almost no purpose for giving you an advantage.What is the first thing thats going to happen to a brand new player who buys EOD thinking they are getting an advantage? they equip their level 4 gear and decked out M4, go into a raid and die never finding the exit or to a player running pistol that has played 3k hours and knows exactly where your noob as is going to pop out.The real reason people are pissed is because they purchased EOD thinking they get everything and then something better comes along with more goodies, if BSG had come out and said they were upgrading EOD and never mentioned unheard edition people would have been like awesome, would not have been a complaint in the room bro they would eat it up.Now dont get me wrong, EOD was suppose to be the best version of the game, we already paid for everything as pro...

The internet has transformed how Gen Z communicates. Our language is built on memes and a collective sense of wry existentialism, with our humor often turning dark or potentially dangerous, as it has when borrowing from the online community of men called “involuntary celibates.”
Incels (as they're known) are infamous for sharing misogynistic attitudes and bitter hostility toward the romantically successful. Their ideology has even turned deadly: The 2014 Isla Vista and 2018 Toronto incel terrorist attacks killed a collective 17 people and injured another 29. Yet, somehow, incels' hateful rhetoric has bizarrely become popularized via Gen Z slang.
In certain circles, for instance, it's common to hear the suffix “pilled” as a funny way to say “convinced into a lifestyle.” Instead of “I now love eating burritos,” for instance, one might say, “I'm so burritopilled.” “Pilled” as a suffix comes from a scene in 1999's “The Matrix” where Neo (Keanu Reeves) had to choose between the red pill and the blue pill, to experiencing only that illusion., but the modern sense is formed through analogy with “blackpilled,” an online slang term meaning “accepting incel ideology.” Similarly, the popular suffix “maxxing” for “maximizing” (e.g., “I'm burritomaxxing” instead of “I'm eating a lot of burritos”) is drawn from the incel idea of “looksmaxxing,” or “maximizing attractiveness” through surgical or cosmetic techniques.
Then there's the word “cucked” for “weakened” or “emasculated.” If the taqueria is out of burritos, you might be “tacocucked,” drawing on the incel idea of being sexually emasculated by more attractive “chads.” And, finally, we have the word “sigma” for “assertive male,” which comes from an incel's desired position outside the social hierarchy.
So how did we get here? How did these words travel from a fringe, misanthropic internet subculture to relatively widespread use?

Too mystic for the IRA-types he postured as, too learnèd for the bumkins he would imitate, too effete to score, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature because someone from Ireland needed to win it, and his Prius was laden with the most pro-Ireland bumper stickers.
Lacking the lyricism or earthiness of Robert Burns, the erudition or cats of Eliot, the humor or bussy of Wilde, or even actual voice or coherence of Lady Gregory, Yeats makes up for this all by just sorta being a weird loser geek talking gibberish nobody cares about.

Critic reviews are reliable insofar as if they say something is awful, it's probably good and vice versa. Also, critics are prone to being paid shills.
Not a movie but I remember when Dave Chappelle's somewhat recent specials came out and were bombed TF by critics... Widely regarded by fans as some of the best stand up in years and years. The sad reality is that critics nowadays are most likely going to shill political beliefs rather than give genuine critique.

I left this open because there's simply no way of not looking suspicious otherwise.
However, as usual, the comments and general lack of knowledge astound me. Heck, I'm surprised at the shear quantity of scathing comments regarding the pricing. Competition exists, just buy a cheaper brand? Watercool is always cheaper and the quality is solid, why just hate on a brand for no reason if you have no intention of buying their product anyway? Either way, regardless of the outcome of all this, very disappointing news, and very disappointing seeing what this sub can be like.

Now the falls in line
This kind of scandal NEVER ends well in communities as small as these. Larger companies can get away with this kind of shit because most people don't know/care. Spaces as small as watercooling? Word gets around fast because almost everyone is keeping an eye/ear out. A different scandal happened in the home theater space where Lexicon got caught taking cheap products from other companies and slapping their own label on them without changing anything (except the price by a factor of 10x), ruined their reputation permanently and now the brand is essentially dead weight in Harman's lineup. Didn't matter that they had made some of the finest home theater equipment in the past, the brand's reputation was effectively ruined. With the half-assed apology and the fact that EK has already been slipping in terms of quality over the years, I can't see them coming back from this. Will they still be around? Perhaps, but I don't think they'll be nearly as big as they once were in the industry after this and there's no way that whatever crawls out of the ashes is going to be able to offer anything even remotely close to their current catalog. They'll have their loyalists I'm sure but there's no way they'll be able to maintain the brand as it stands.
Now do ya'll remember the LTT Expose he did? yeah the LTTcels haven't stopped coping seething and dilating about it

I mean what's wrong with that? Their management being shitty doesn't change the fact that they do have good products and they should do better
There is so much seethe on the LTT forums but I think the jannies are active there and it up
