If you still have their property and they say “dump it all idc what you do with it!”, take it to a storage facility and put it in storage and put it in your ex’s name with your number and stuff and then after a month or so, put it with their number. They will have to pay the fees or it goes against their credit as a debt MWAHAHAHAHA
I said the same thing but everyone told me that he’s an esper and a bullet wouldn’t be fast enough since espers are faster. Personally, I’m still on team blow the building up with him inside of it or lock him up or whatever they do to espers that are on the verge of going berserk and then kill him. A double dose of elephant tranq should work to knock him out. The issue is how to put it into him without him noticing or reacting…
That fuckass doctor is an esper? I thought he's just regular human??
Yea apparently. I thought he was a guide but apparently the reason he can remotely kill guides is because he used his esper powers on them (I’m assuming mind control) to get them to have suicidal thoughts.
He’s not an incubus if he’s bottoming! An incubus is a top not a male. A succubus is a bottom not a female. We really gotta get the masses educated on the differences.
man, you learn something new everyday. i did not know this.
Actually succubus were known as women and incubus as men.
But some also say, they are the same and they can just change their appearances to match their partner or prefer one over the other.
And it doesn't change that both are said to live by absorbing energy through secual intercourse. Some literature even says, they absorb too much and kill their prey, but in most cases they ensnare and bewitch their prey. Some are so manipulated they get insane over it.
But it's all fiction and there are so many versions around the world now, that it's hard to say "this one is the right one"
The word incubus comes from the latin word incubare meaning to lay upon or lie down on top of. The word succubus is also Latin. Succubus comes from sucubare and suc comes from sub which means to lay under. The Latin doesn’t lie. Fiction has distorted the truth but etymology is the truth in its most bare form. Cubare means “to lie” as in to lay with. Fictional literature is about taking the truth and bending it in a way that it’s no longer the truth but also is just as plausible as the truth. That’s the point of it. You are welcome to fact check me. You’ll get the same answer by searching up the etymology.
But the author isn’t selling it. It’s got both the Thai original and the author is selling an English version but neither are for sale so I can’t even buy it and upload the rest of the pages. There’s at least a part 3 in the raws since it says 60 or something pages. I’m so sad. Why did I pick an unfinished doujin ╥﹏╥
What’s the point in raising prices if none of your customers can afford it? Then no one will use your product. The point of lowering prices is so that more people will use it and since it’s a repeat-use product then youll get more repeat customers and that gives you not only profit but stability and security. Immediate greed is like the story of Icarus and long term greed is like Sisyphus. Neither are good. You need both. Market samples and once people know of your product, you can start rolling it out en-mass and once people use it regularly and spread it through word of mouth, you have your short term profit and your long term profit set in stone. I’m not even in sales or marketing and yet I can see exactly what those execs can’t. Also this is set in Korea? Korea is like the number 1 place that does this. All beauty therapy machines in Korea are expensive pieces of equipment and in the western world, we charge an arm, leg and kidney for one single use of it but in Korea and China, it’s dirt cheap but in return, everyone in those countries use it regularly and even tourists go over there purely to use it. They not only have local customers that regularly use their expensive machines (getting back their investment on the machine within a matter of months), they also gain tourism points which in turn boosts the overall economy putting money back into the pockets of the public and therefore putting money back into the government through taxes. Literally everyone is happy with that since it makes EVERYONE richer. The customers pay less so more stays in their pockets, the employees gain job security, the owner and execs get a nice cushy salary plus bonus, the company gets a nice fat profit, and the government gets a nice chunk in the form of taxes which goes right back into the general public’s interests (public safety and healthcare and education). It’s almost like execs don’t know the first thing about economics.
Damn my man economics exam already finished didn’t expect to see some econ things again
I didn’t get offered econ in school so as a 22 year old self-taught adult, I get too passionate ╥﹏╥ I just want a financially fair life
To boost the medical insurance market.
Make prices insanely high to normal consumers, make prices affordable to insurance company - insurance company profits as only those with insurance can afford it.
American medical and insurance industry (〜￣△￣)〜
But this is Korea ╥﹏╥ also I live in the UK where it’s not common to have medical insurance since the NHS just pays for it. America just seems like a weird and greedy place where the rich get richer and literally everyone else is struggling.
The first chapter starts in Manhattan, USA
Does it?? Then no wonder the execs are so greedy and everything is so stupidly corrupt! America and Russia have to be the top two most greedy when it comes to the higher ups.
I mean, the NHS doesn't cover everything like spectacles and eye check ups(above 18), dental , and now no longer cover minor ailments like cold sores, sore throat, migraines, conjunctivitis. They are also kinda overworked and seeing a gp took me like over a week. Being 5 min late and they'd cancel, but being on time, they make you wait for like 45 minutes. And most of the time, they don't prescribe any medication, so I'd have to get them OTC anyways. It cost me 1035 pounds a year to use the NHS too! They get a net profit from foreign students.
In my country, the national healthcare wait time is 20-45 minutes (walk in , no appointments) and costs 0.25 pounds per trip regardless of disease treatments. Private healthcare costs more obviously and the wait time is usually 10-30minutes.
Oh, for quality wise, it's hard to compare. Cuz the NHS do have more stringent sop, and medical equipment, but over here, due to the lower cost, some doctors do get wayy more experience ( as we have a pretty good medical tourism going on)but I really not sure on quality comparisons. Probs tge top medical surgeons in the UK are probs better. But I guess its just a lot quicker and cheaper for common sickness where I come from. Though coverage is lower here
Economics gave me trauma because in my exam a classmate of mine got a seizure
Yes they do. There ARE opticians that cover glasses but it’s really backed up. Same with dentists. The NHS is a joke rn but what I mean is that any and all drugs and medical devices are free to use. Also I think you’re vastly mistaken. I get cold and flu vaccines and saw a neurologist for my migraines and got migraine medication from my gp under NHS in the UK. I don’t pay for anything either. It comes out of my taxes and national insurance contributions.
I'm basing the glasses one on my personal experience with a friend. Her eye checkup was supposed to free for under 18, but since it took over 2 months to get an appointment, she was 18 during the appointment and had to pay in full. (A looot more compared to where we were from). I went as her listed guardian.
I based the OTC no longer prescribed due to a few articles over the net I.e https://www.ukmeds.co.uk/blog/35-medical-conditions-that-gps-will-no-longer-issue-a-prescription-for
I didn't mention vaccines tho. And getting a flu and cough prescription is very difficult. The most I've gotten were some free candy lozenges. Despite having a severe sore throat for 3 weeks.
Stop teaching me
Am dumb
Show off
Well ofc you aren’t going to get OTC medication prescribed. That’s like going to your GP asking for condoms. People used to do that and that’s why there’s an article about it. It’s not that they stopped prescribing them, it’s that they made a post about it. Colds are not something medication can fix anyway. Medication only eases symptoms not the condition. It’s an anti-inflammatory medication, an antipyretic medication and some type of syrup to coat the throat and act as a barrier to prevent further damage. You can get the first two prescribed if you asked for them but you could also take ibuprofen and it’ll do the same thing. All cold medication is just ibuprofen and some additives to make it more effective.
Before you start judging the decisions of those in the medical profession about which medications are OTC, maybe learn what’s in those OTC medications. They are OTC for client ease not because it lines their pockets. In fact, pharmacies get less money for selling them than the doctors do because the doctor needs to take a cut of the money as well. It would be more as a prescribed drug than as an OTC one. As for glasses, all glasses for minors are free unless you go to a private practice. After 18, most free things stop being free since it’s a privilege for children who cannot and shouldn’t work. At 18, you are expected to work or be in full time education or apprenticeship. You’d be receiving an income from all 3 outcomes. That’s why it costs you money. You can still go for a NHS based free opticians clinic but the wait time is long since it IS NHS based and they are understaffed like you said.
I was also not born in the uk but I did my best to learn about the way the uk works because that’s my duty as a citizen of the country I reside in. Yes, it’s not the most convenient for minor issues but when I was rushed into major surgery and almost died on the operating table, I recovered and went home DEBT FREE. They saved my life and it didnt put a financial strain on me at all so I could fully just recover. I even got paid time off for a few weeks. Don’t judge something you don’t fully understand. All British citizens do want the GP system to be better but all UK GP practitioners are private owned NHS businesses. That’s why they do what they do. So that they can bill more hours to the NHS and government and can get away with doing less work.
That grandfather isn’t a responsible adult and shouldn’t be the guardian to a cactus let alone a human!
Also the assault wasn’t necessary. Once the reaction was different, he should have stopped or at least checked in to see if he was okay. Like I get how he got confused and why he started it but as soon as you notice something might not be right, you should stop. Even at the risk of ruining the fun, you should stop. I practice BDSM and part of my practices is CNC (consensual non consent) but you can still SA someone who enjoys CNC and it’s just as traumatic as someone who doesn’t enjoy CNC. Yes, we have safe words but sometimes our brain panics and we can’t get the safe words out or we are too quiet or the top forgets the safe words or whatever the issue is. That’s why it’s so so so important to always check even if it’s something super minor. As long as you notice it, you have a duty to check. You can do it in a sexy way or you can do it bluntly and make up the mood again but don’t ignore it for the sake of the mood or cause previous consent was given. Just like the British tea consent video (cause I’m a Brit), someone who previously asked for tea from you yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it may not want tea today and what you shouldn’t do is force it down their throat today. If you wouldn’t do it with tea then what gives you the notion that it would be okay for anything else?
Sorry for the rant but as a survivor of something similar, it pisses me off when media doesn’t acknowledge how damaging and harmful it is to have this kind of mentality that the top had.
TEA CONSENT MENTION! I showed my mom’s boyfriend awhile ago that video and he didn’t like it…totally unrelated he’s an ex now
People who don’t like it subconsciously acknowledge that they are assaulters. A good way to test people (who aren’t in the generation who got shown the video) is to ask them what they would do if someone asked for tea yesterday so you make them tea again today but now they say they don’t want it. It’s such an unassuming question but it’s so full of weight that the other person won’t realise. Like the man vs bear and the bear vs woman question.
I swear to every god holy and unholy that I’ve already read these chapters??? Why am I rereading them as if they are new??? I am confusion…
I don’t understand putting up with someone you hate for a job. If someone said “we were friends” about me when they hurt me, I would correct them even in front of others. “No, you make a living nightmare out of my life and I don’t want anything to do with you.” Is all they will get from me. No goodbye either. If the boss or coworker thinks I’m being rude, they can live through what that person put me through. Otherwise, they can shut up. I’m more than happy to go to HR for hostile workplace environment because a coworker or boss is trying to force a friendship with a former bully. I don’t understand people who aren’t. I get that it’s scary but no job is worth reliving trauma. Trauma is worse than the anxiety you feel when you say your piece. I say that as someone who has had this situation happen. Don’t back down.
Hmm well I never thought about it as "putting up with someone you hate for a job." It's more like, "it was my job first, so they can leave." Letting someone you hate cause you to leave somewhere you already were, is the same as letting them control you. Sure they aren't the ones making that decision, but they are still the reason. And sometimes it's not easy to "just leave" somewhere you worked hard to get into. You struggled, you found a solution, they interrupted. They should just go back to where they came from and let you have your place. And the MC would have trouble finding another job in that field as it is, so having that job, through connections, probably is seen as being a miracle to him. He gets to do what he loves and wants to do, despite having been troubled in the past. When you work hard to get ONE thing that feels right, it's really hard to let it go just because you are uncomfortable. And if you mean the reason he left his last job, sometimes it just works out like that. If they want to believe someone else over you, you can yell and scream until you are clue in the face but you aren't changing their minds and just making it worse for yourself by making the situation bigger and harder to overcome. Not saying that how you feel is wrong. I would probably smile on the surface and then complain to my work friends later about what a piece of trash he is. However, he seems like he has a reputation and already has a viewpoint that people follow, so anything I say would just make me look crazy, I'm sure. xD
*blue, that was totally supposed to be blue. I dunno where clue came from lmao
Yeah but it’s not really about who started first in my mind. My mental health means more to me than any job or person so I’m happy to quit anything and anyone if it means my mental health survives. It’s fragile and needs the best care. Also if stating that someone hurt me and I don’t want anything to do with them will make me lose my job, i don’t want that job. My managers and my company should want to keep me safe and if they don’t, it’s not a good company to work at. That’s how I view it. I also don’t work hard at my job because I enjoy it. I work hard at my job because it makes me feel productive and I get money at the end of the month so I can do things that make me happy. As long as I get money at the end of the month in relation to the BS I had to put up with while at work, I’m happy. The company won’t pay me a BS bonus whenever I face a past bully so why suck it up? My time isn’t being compensated.
Yeah I totally get that. But as someone who has serious mental health issues, I've learned to cope with having mental health issues and work through them. Having a stable job, place to live and money to maintain that place to live, they are not things I can easily throw away just for my mental health. Not after 30 years of BS to even get that far on my own. xD There will be BS anywhere and everywhere. It doesn't matter if you have the best job in the world or the worst, you can't let BS tell you where to go or you'll be struggling more than you won't be and THAT'S NOT GOOD for mental health. Honestly, this situation looks temporary to me, ex's there for a job, not a permanent position, so he'd eventually be leaving. And yes, I know he's going to be a jerk and harass the MC. Because that's how he already seems. And 100% I wouldn't take that laying down, but I also wouldn't out him in front of a bunch of people who may or may not take my side and who might just start rumors instead. I would take care of it quietly, with someone of authority who can handle it, just as quietly. I probably would have done it BEFORE he started his position there and not waited until I had to face him face to face, but this is fiction and they need their drama cliches. And it's not like he's alone, dealing with a bully. He has a friend at work and a place to return to for comfort. If the job becomes a permanent thing and he's not going anywhere, 100% leave. But put up a helluva fight first. He's already seen what trying to explain himself did at his last job so he's taking a low road. I don't see it as giving up, I see it as a passive way of survival. And I 100% understand that not everyone thinks or feels this way. When you are broken and bruised enough that even getting out of bed to live another day is a struggle, you don't make the best decisions when it comes to surviving, you just react and kinda go with the flow. I also think your way of thinking is very brave. Not everyone has enough in them to be that brave.
I also have a lot of serious mental health conditions as well as physical disabilities. If this was 30 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to be this decisive about leaving a job over issues like this but since working conditions in the uk has improved and we have a ton of labour laws including anti-discrimination policies, I have the privilege of being able to do it. I left one job because they asked me to come into an office when I had Covid and the guidelines was self isolation for 14 days. I reported them to the labour board. I’m very strait laced when it comes to the law. I’ll bend every soft rule and I’ll utilise every loophole I can but I will never enable law breaking. My mental health comes above the law imo but the law comes above all else. I’m entitled to certain things BY LAW and I’ll be damned if an employer tries to skirt their legal duty to me. You say it’s brave but I’m just being a law abiding citizen.
I totally agree with that. And that's great for you! That actually makes me happy that it worked out. Working conditions are a different story. If a job has poor working conditions or fails to give me even basic rights, that's a no. Which is also another reason finding a job you click with is so rare and hard to leave. My coworkers are more like my family than my real family ever was. And they actually help my mental health more than anything, myself included. Any other job I have worked was just "I can't wait to go home". And it was miserable. If my ex suddenly got hired at my job now, we would have words. But it wouldn't be in front of anyone else because it's not their issue to be involved in. I'd be making their life miserable internally until they wanted to quit. Haha I don't think MC has such a rapport yet with his co-workers though and the other guy has more rapport. But I also know what it feels like to not have a choice or anywhere else to go. You also do a lot of crazy things when you think there is no other options. Things are a LOT better now as far as that goes, but not in all places. It's also hard to change a way you're used to living when you have done it for so long. I'm autistic but was not diagnosed until late adult life because it was not something so recognized before. I still fight with my mother over my way of thinking and my behaviors because she doesn't recognize that it is a thing that exists and chooses not to understand me. I worked hard as hell to get this far and away from people like that. But still, the first time someone asked me why I do something and the words "I'm autistic" came out of my mouth, it felt wrong and I immediately wanted to take it back. xD It's hard to think of it differently even though the world has changed when you have thought one way all your life.
I know we are totally off subject now. I was probably just happy you were listening to me haha So thank you. :)
Awh well my DMs are open if you want a listening ear again lol
What’s worse about all of this is that MC wasn’t actually ever given time to grieve the past ML. As soon as he found out about the accident, he rushed to the hospital and it wasn’t until ML woke up and couldn’t remember who he was that he lost past ML. In his mind, he lost him twice. Once when the accident happened and death was a possibility and the second time when the amnesia came to light. From that day on, he was standing by ML and helping him cope while dealing with his ailing grandma. He literally never got a single second to properly grieve and every single time he tried, ML got upset saying “BUT THATS NOT ME!” completely overlooking that that’s precisely why he’s grieving to begin with. It’s like falling in love with one twin and that twin dying and the other twin saying “how about me?”. It’s not the same no matter how much they look alike and sound alike. They aren’t the same person. He lost his grandma and his lover to basically the same condition and he alone is trapped by memories and the inability to grieve since he still has to face them both every single time and have a smile on his face since it’s “not their fault they can’t remember”. Everyone forgot that it’s not his fault either. He didn’t cause the accident or the Alzheimer. I’m glad they are separating for now. None of this was fair on him and he needs more than anything to grieve properly for both his grandma and his lover and to fully accept that they are gone and won’t be coming back again. They may still have their corporal bodies but they aren’t here anymore.
Anyone who is hating on MC for acting this way should be ashamed for judging a barely adult for struggling with something not a single one of us would have handle poorly let alone well. A lot of us wouldn’t have been able to survive this situation let alone somehow get through day by day. Give the kid some grace and cut him some slack.
Yes! And also, it’s an added pain, to feel like the past ML wasn’t even really real. Because a lot of things turned out to be lies, like liking grapes and stuff. And of course It’s nice that ML didn’t want to be rude, or to disappoint. But in retrospect it can hurt to find out he wasn’t really honest. And can make you think “what else did he lie about just to make me feel good?”
And actually that’s the thing that I find a bit painful in this chapter, that the more honest and “real” version of the ML is the one getting rejected. Of course, I don’t blame the MC in this situation, but it’s sad.
(And I don’t blame ML in the past, It’s usual kid stuff, to want to appear better for someone new, and even more, for your crush, and make white lies)
well said maem
I don’t find the white lies to be painful and MC didn’t either. The grapes lie hurt only cause he didn’t realise why he was lied to. He was lied to because his grandma did her best. He lied to protect grandmas heart. That was a beautiful reason to lie. Other things he “lied” about was because his lover liked them and he wanted to enjoy them with his lover. He did like them but he liked that his lover liked them. In a way, he didn’t fully lie. Both ML are the real ML. But only one of them was in love with MC and it’s not the new one.
