2023.05.31 12:15 williamshakesdatass My Experience With Boundless Immigration: Awful

To summarize this, I spent a ton of money to learn this one lesson- when you desperately want something and want it done correctly, nobody is going to care about it more than you, no matter how much you pay.
I will start with the good. Their web interface was easy to navigate and seems well designed- until you hit submit and you will not be allowed to go back and ask to change anything, or even view anything you submitted.
• Their “team of experts” is a crew of unskilled call center employees in India
• A last minute affidavit came in so I messaged them asking if it can be included- they emailed back with a firm refusal. When I called, the agent apologized and put it in the application.
• I sent a ton of supporting documents expecting the lawyer to pick which ones to keep or not include (some were silly, like tickets to a woodworking class, and some had excessive attachments, like Airbnb location maps), and expecting comments on at least some of them, but none of that happened
• I only got one message from the lawyer, asking where my wedding ceremony photos were. I responded that it was a self marriage and none were taken. She didn’t know what a self marriage was and asked if we married virtually (shouldn’t a marriage immigration lawyer know what a self marriage is?)
• The call center employees contradict eachother on the phone- one told me not to get my spouse’s signature, but another told me that I do need to get my spouse’s signature. The latter one apologized and corrected himself after speaking to a supervisor when I told him what the first employee said.
• The folder around the packet arrived busted, I suspect because it was placed loose in the bubble mailer without any additional protection around it
• Over 20 documents I had submitted were missing from the packet they mailed me, including all of the photos of us together. When I called and asked why they were missing, they apologized and told me to go print them myself and put it in.
• I thought for sure they were going to create an index for the supporting documents, label everything and add page numbers to make it neat and organized, but instead they just dumped all 80+ pages in an unorganized mess, in no particular order.
This endless stress parade and colossal waste of money is one of my biggest regrets. Thank you, Boundless.

2023.05.31 11:56 thissitetestsme Offal Powers from the Back of a Truck

Ah, summer in Naples. The sun, the sea, the food... it's all so magical. All of this, of course, is made yet more magical by the €1 shots of Aperol Spritz sold by the sketchy bar in the historic center. After a fair few shots, you find yourself buying a plastic tin of some very questionable meat from a man who may or may not be San Gennaro himself in the form of a street vendor... haloes and scally caps look the same when 3 sheets to the wind, after all.
You awake the next day with a hangover and one surprising side effect.
The Beef Tongue has given you the ability to speak and understand all languages. It doesn't matter if it's written or spoken, or how you're communicating, or who you're communicating with; all languages come completely naturally. Do note, however, that you will always have a strong yet understandable accent in every language you speak. Like a native speaker, you'll need to actively monitor and correct yourself to make sure you sound "proper". You can choose which accent for each language, save Italian, which will naturally sound Neapolitan.
The Tripe has given you perfect metabolism. It doesn't matter what you eat or drink, you will suffer no ill effects; as far as your body is concerned, you have a high fiber and high probiotic diet. You can say goodbye to food allergies too. Mind you, this doesn't effect anything you smoke, snort, or inject, nor does it guarantee perfect health, but it does guarantee that your diet will never harm you, only help. Boiled tripe isn't the most tender food though, so whatever you eat will take twice as long to chew.
The Veal Cartilage has lifted all that joint and body pain and left you feeling as fresh as a spring calf. You will never suffer from any form of bone, joint, or muscle pain, and any that you had is cured. Consider this a genetic reset as well, as you can ignore any family history of arthritis or the like being passed down to your children. I just hope you don't feel bad about eating veal. I have no problem with it, though vegetarians, vegans, and Hindus will naturally trust you a bit less.
The Pig's Foot has given you the joy that only a pig in shit could ever have. You are a naturally happy person and that happiness is contagious. Your jokes will always make people laugh and you will always be able to cheer people up. A little smile and a little charisma will take you far in life, though be careful that others don't keep you far away; you sweat twice as easily and your body odor is twice as pungent. I highly recommend a good air conditioner and better antiperspirant deodorant.

2023.05.31 11:56 Dangerous-Poem7620 GENSHIN Role play partner wanted!

Hello, as I'm having no luck on other apps I thought I'd turn here. I'm f19 looking for a role play partner to specifically role play a plot revolved around the ship Ei x Yae miko, i've been gushing over these two for a while now and as most genshin rp communities have died out with the rise and popularity of honkai I'm just scrambling everywhere to find someone to write these two with.
I don't have many rules, nor am i that picky with whom I write with (I don't care what gender you are as long as you like this ship and can match my energy) as long as you're over 18+ we're all good (I don't interact with minors), my few rules are as follows: No god modding (whats the fun in that?) No plots strictly centered around NSFW, I don't mind it but I'd rather have more to the plot than just them fucking, haha. A build up with some tension is preferred. The role play should be written in 3rd person and your responses should at least be 4-7 lines, a few paragraphs is very much preferred but I also want the exchange to be casual. I tend to write alot so it would be nice to have my length matched! Ooc is completely fine as communication between rp partners is important, but please no personal questions. Let's just stick to what we're writing. I'd prefer to write over PMs here but I do have a discord/Instagram that we can also write on :)
Please PM if interested

2023.05.31 11:46 mirandasoveralls Parents are visiting me in NYC (have a unique situation)

Hi all! My dad and my stepmom are visiting NYC in late June for the first time together.
I'll preface by saying my dad 1) used to travel to NYC from the Bay Area (where I'm from originally) for many years for work. He would usually stay in Hoboken (years 2011-2019) when staying here and then would traverse into Manhattan for his day to day during this time. 2) my dad and stepmom are in a biracial relationship (my dad is white and my stepmom is Cuban). My stepmom grew up in Cuba/Miami and is definitely a firecracker personality, However, my dad is more subdued, but eccentric in his own way. 3) I have never traveled with them together but they vacation multiple times a year outside of the US, HOWEVER have both proclaimed that they are only visiting NYC bc I live here). 4) they would be visiting me and my BF (Korean-American) in NYC. We live in LIC and moved here together a year ago. My parents are staying in a hotel near us (LIC Hotel -- I told them this wasn't maybe the fanciest but they don't care).
I'm originally from the Bay Area (SF/Oakland) and they are both okay with weird stuff happens in a large city like NYC.
My issue is when I was home most recently seeing them is that they really don't know what they want to do in NYC (they're staying a Wed-Wed so about 6 full days) and they are looking at me to dictate what to do. I know there are a ton if resources here. I, and my BF, have only live in NYC for a year. We have ideas of what we like to do but for a couple where they both tell me they collectively don't like NYC and are only coming to see me....what should I suggest as fun, interesting things to do with them?
BTW -- I understand if I get responses like "tell them to fuck off" or "there's lots to do!" but I really am struggling with what to suggest to 2 parents who are apprehensive of visiting NYC.

2023.05.31 11:31 a4fertility How do I Track the Different Stages of IVF?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex assisted reproductive technology (ART) that involves multiple stages, each crucial to the success of the treatment. At A4 Fertility Centre, we understand the importance of staying informed and involved throughout the IVF process. One innovative approach we use to enhance transparency and patient engagement is remote image witnessing (RI witnessing). In this article, we will discuss the stages of IVF and the role of RI witnessing in tracking the progress of your treatment at A4 Fertility Centre.
Stages of IVF:
Ovarian stimulation: The first stage of IVF involves administering medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This process usually lasts for 8-14 days and involves regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasound scans.
Egg retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, a fertility specialist performs a minimally invasive procedure to retrieve the eggs from the ovaries. This is typically done under mild sedation and guided by ultrasound imaging.
Fertilization and embryo culture: The retrieved eggs are then combined with sperm in the laboratory to facilitate fertilization. The resulting embryos are cultured for 3-6 days, depending on their development and the clinic's protocols.
Embryo transfer: Once the embryos reach the appropriate stage of development, one or more are selected for transfer into the uterus. This is a minimally invasive procedure performed under ultrasound guidance.
Pregnancy test and follow-up: Approximately two weeks after the embryo transfer, a blood test is performed to determine if the treatment was successful and pregnancy has been achieved.
Role of Remote Image Witnessing:
Remote image witnessing (RI witnessing) is a state-of-the-art technology that allows patients to track the development of their embryos throughout the IVF process. At A4 Fertility Centre, we use RI witnessing to enhance patient engagement and provide a transparent, informative experience.
Here's how it works:
Continuous embryo monitoring: Our advanced embryology laboratory is equipped with time-lapse imaging systems that continuously monitor and capture images of the developing embryos. Secure access: Patients receive secure access to a personalized online portal, where they can view images and videos of their embryos as they progress through the different stages of development.
Communication with the embryologist: The online portal also facilitates communication with the embryologist, allowing patients to ask questions and receive updates on their embryos' progress.
Informed decision-making: Access to real-time information about their embryos' development helps patients feel more involved and informed, enabling them to make educated decisions about their treatment alongside their fertility specialist.
At A4 Fertility Centre, we believe in providing transparent, patient-centered care throughout the IVF process. Remote image witnessing offers a unique opportunity for patients to stay informed and engaged, tracking the development of their embryos and playing an active role in their fertility journey. If you are considering IVF or looking for a fertility clinic that prioritizes patient involvement, contact A4 Fertility Centre to schedule a consultation with one of our expert fertility specialists.

2023.05.31 11:27 an-asian-man From No Name Woman to Birth of Integrated Identity: Trauma-Based Cultural Dissociation in Immigrant Women and Creative Integration (2014)

Access: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Z5UdW_uV2lN2wQ3lTuAGQy5iOwDZNSi/view?usp=sharing
Abstract: This paper explores the challenges in integration of ethnic identity among a certain segment of immigrant women who have experienced sexism related traumas in their culture of origin. These women’s assimilative experiences and integration of identity are more complicated by the fact that their ethnic identity is tied to trauma. These women may find a refuge in the American culture, while defensively dissociating from their culture of origin, disavowing ethnic ties, severing contact with family, or avoiding contact with people from the same ethnic group, which amounts to cultural dissociation. I contend that in order to successfully engage dissociated cultural states, a therapist’s ability to self reflect on her cultural situatedness is crucial. The challenge of the analyst-patient dyad is to disentangle the patient’s traumatic experiences from nontraumatizing normative aspects of the culture of origin in order to promote a viable ethnic identity.

2023.05.31 11:22 Reasonable_Length920 Important things to know before choosing a car leasing company.

Important things to know before choosing a car leasing company.
https://preview.redd.it/cqm7j6lge63b1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b785537fa733981aa0942653cce2a35de64ba59a
When choosing a car leasing company, it's crucial to consider various factors that can significantly impact your leasing experience. You may have done enough research on car leasing, but leasing begins when you choose a leasing partner. So it is equally important to consider these factors beforehand. This article will focus on the factors that will help you choose the right partner and enjoy the best leasing experience.
Reliability of the company.
One of the most important factors to consider with a new car lease is the reputation and reliability of the car leasing partner. Look for reviews, ratings, and feedback from previous customers to gauge their trustworthiness and the quality of their service. A reputable and reliable company is more likely to provide quality services.
Terms and Conditions
Carefully reviewing the lease terms and conditions offered by the company is a must. Pay attention to factors such as lease duration, mileage limits, maintenance responsibilities, penalties for early termination, and additional charges or fees. Ensure that the terms align with your specific requirements and budget. Focus on your needs and communicate with them. Make sure the communication is transparent and clear. There are a huge number of car leasing companies in India so make sure you find a good one.
Vehicle Selection
Check the range and availability of vehicles offered by the leasing company. It's essential to make certain that they have a wide range of options that includes the type of vehicle you are looking for. Consider factors such as the make, model, year, and condition of the vehicles available. It's important to choose a vehicle that meets your preferences and needs. You can easily lease a car online now, so you can check the site to see what each company offers.
Pricing and Payment.
Comparing the pricing of different leasing companies is important. Consider factors such as the monthly lease payment, down payment or security deposit requirements, and any additional charges or taxes. Research the market standards and check if the pricing varies largely. If the pricing is competitive and reasonable based on the market standards, you can consider that company as an option.
Insurance.
Discuss the insurance coverage provided by the leasing company. Ensure that the vehicles have comprehensive insurance that protects them from liabilities or damages during the lease period. Understand the terms of the insurance policy, including any deductibles or exclusions. Companies like ALD Automotive take away the hassle of getting insurance. ALD will arrange appropriate insurance coverage for your car.
Surprise charges.
In addition to the monthly lease payment, inquire about any potential hidden charges. Some leasing companies may include additional fees such as processing fees, documentation charges, or administrative fees. Make sure you understand all the costs involved to avoid any surprises later on. There will be add-on services you can choose from considering your need. Make sure you get the ones you need.
Maintenance and Repair.
Inquire about the company's network of authorized service centers. Few companies even provide pick-up and delivery for your servicing needs. Having easy access to maintenance and repair services will get you the smooth operation of the leased vehicle. Discuss the quality of service, response time, and convenience of scheduling appointments. In case of a breakdown, ALD will provide relief cars to customers. It is a great service to have since you'll never know when you'll need it.
Fuel Efficiency.
Considering the fuel efficiency of the vehicles offered by the leasing company is significant. vehicles have varying levels of fuel efficiency, which can significantly impact your overall expenses. Keep your needs and usage in mind before choosing.
Resale Value
You may not own the vehicle, but many companies offer a buyback option at the end of the lease term. Some people tend to get attached to the car so it is a good option to have. In that case, you should consider the resale value of the car you are going to lease. Also, understanding the potential resale value can give you an idea of the overall cost of the lease.
Customer Support service.
The quality of the customer support service provided by the company cannot be ignored. Evaluate based on their responsiveness to queries, availability of helplines or dedicated customer service representatives, and the process for addressing concerns or issues during the lease period. A leasing partner can provide you with an easy and hassle-free experience if the customer support is reliable.
Roadside Assistance
Several experienced leasing companies provide roadside assistance. Some provide even 24x7 roadside assistance. Significantly, your leasing partner provides this because an emergency or unexpected situation can happen at any time. Having proper assistance at that time can be a lifesaver.
Early Lease Termination Policy
Understand the policies and penalties for early lease termination. While it's always preferable to complete the agreed lease term, unexpected situations may arise where you need to terminate the lease early. Inquire about the company's early lease termination policy, including any fees or penalties that may apply. Having clarity on the process and costs associated with early termination can help you make an informed decision and plan accordingly.
Transferring your lease.
This is a great service for employees who have a company car and you want to take it to the next job. ALD Ugo is a tripartite lease between the employee, employer, and ALD. If the employee decides to leave the company to elsewhere, they can either transfer the least to the next place or it can be transferred to the employee themselves. It's a neat little service designed to benefit all parties involved.
By considering the factors mentioned above, you can make an adequate judgment about car leasing companies in India. It's important to give thought to these factors before finalizing your decision. Then It will be easier to pick a reliable and reputable car leasing company that offers a satisfactory leasing experience.
Remember to prioritize factors such as reputation, lease terms, vehicle selection, pricing, insurance coverage maintenance network, etc. By considering these factors together you can get the smooth leasing experience you deserve.

2023.05.31 11:09 Any_Sherbert_2072 Maintain campus cleanliness Reject Yan Limon for Perelman Medical College

In the global epidemic, the economy is shrinking, the employment rate is low, the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine hired Yan Limeng as the hospital staff, this non-racist, non-discriminatory for Asian employees to provide jobs behavior, reflects the college's fraternity, equality. But the Perelman School of Medicine in the hiring of like-minded employees, it is time to consider the maintenance of campus cleanliness as the first task, reject Yan Limeng on stage to join the medical school.
Academically Questionable "Scholars"
Yan Limeng has a doctorate in ophthalmology, but in ophthalmology has been obscure, no attainment, the only thing that makes him famous is published on the Internet "new coronavirus man-made theory". Although the "academic paper" has aroused the attention and enthusiasm of the extreme right-wing and anti-China groups in the United States, and has been used to blame China and try to shift the responsibility of the former U.S. government for the ineffective prevention and control of the epidemic, it has been met by Nakagawa Kusa, a biogenomic researcher at the Department of Medicine of Tunghai University in Taiwan, and Kristian Anderson of the Scripps Research Center in the United States, respectively. However, they were challenged by experts and scholars such as Kristian Andersen of the Scripps Research Center and others in the New York Times, National Geographic, and other media or social media platforms, while Chinese dissident Fang Zhouzi published a direct article "Refuting the Conspiracy Theory of "New Coronavirus Man-Made"" and Columbia University virologist Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University, even argued that Yan Limeng's paper was "political propaganda" aimed at deception.
Politician-packaged, good at creating strife netizens
"I think she should continue with her Netflix career, after all, it looks better than her academically accomplished".
"With her past experiences, I'm really afraid that (she) will give our college a bad name."
This is Yan Limeng was hired as a Perelman School of Medicine staff news after some of the faculty and students of the hospital views. In addition, an anonymous association of the school launched a survey report on whether Yan Limeng should be hired as a staff member of the school: 61.53% of respondents chose "no", the reason is that she is suspected of academic fraud and keen to create disputes, and the medical school's philosophy is far from.
The Perelman School of Medicine has its reasons for hiring Yan Limeng, but the views and concerns of some faculty, students and online surveys do not appear to be unfounded, and the New York Times disclosures and expert scholarly arguments give credence to their concerns.
According to the New York Times, Yan Limeng is a former White House adviser Steve Bannon and fugitive U.S. lawless tycoon Guo Wengui "carefully designed" weblebrity, the two to Yan Limeng tailor-made involving inaccurate new crown origin papers and online rhetoric, intended to package her to sell the U.S. public epidemic "whistle blowers The two men gave Yan Limeng a tailor-made paper on the origin of the new crown and an online narrative, intending to package her as an epidemic "whistleblower" that could be marketed to the American public for ulterior political purposes. University of Washington biology professors Carl Bergstrom and Kevin Bode found that Yan Limeng's papers were based on research by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation, both of which are run by Both were founded by Guo Wengui's partner Bannon.
Yan Limeng in the former U.S. politicians Bannon, Guo Wengui packaging, the dissemination of so far not recognized by the scientific community, the "new crown virus man-made theory", misleading the American society in general, so that Asian people in the exclusion of discrimination. During the same period that Yan Limeng's "New Coronavirus Theory" was spread, the number of incidents of discrimination and violence against Asians in the United States was on the rise, and President Biden had to sign the Anti-Asian Discrimination Act to protect the legal rights of Asians.
In addition, Yan Limeng in order to obtain greater benefits, directly to the webcast explosive attack Guo Wengui's "rule of law fund" suspected of fraud to absorb the powder, and finally led to Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui turned against each other, Guo Wengui launched a legal action against Limeng.
Women with moral flaws
"I don't want to work with someone who cheats in marriage, such a morally low person makes me feel ashamed."
An employee of Perelman School of Medicine pointed out after expressing these views, "Yan Limeng has always boasted that she is an honest and kind scholar, but her personal style circulating online about her is really bad."
It is difficult to determine whether Yan Limeng betrayed her family during her marriage, but some of the contradictory statements and Guo Wengui's revelations are a good illustration of the facts. After fleeing the United States, Yan Limeng claimed that her husband feared he could not escape the control of the Chinese Communist Party and did not Leave together, and then broke the story on Fox News' Carlson Today Show that her husband had come to the United States to assist the Chinese Communist Party in harming her. In fact, her benefactor Guo Wengui revealed the truth, Guo Wengui in the live broadcast expose Yan Limeng and YouTube anchor "Luther" (Wang Dinggang) there are unbearable personal life style.
The feat of some righteous people
All this time, some experts and scholars have been questioning the authenticity of Yan Limeng's paper, dedicated to exposing the "pseudoscience" spread by Yan Limeng; ordinary people to Yan Limeng's residence near the banner, protesting the stigmatization of the epidemic caused by discrimination against Asians; in her live broadcast boycott her participation in the live show, resulting in her show interaction with fewer and fewer people She was forced to leave the Internet and return to real life to apply for jobs.
However, justice advocates do not want Yan Limeng to go into hiding and continue to spread false information about the new crown outbreak. Guo Wengui found out Yan Limeng's current address: Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (3400 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19104) through the FBI agent's connection, Some members of the "New China Federation" started a campaign to "maintain the clean campus and reject Yan Limeng's entry into Perelman Medical" on the telegram, calls on people who love freedom and uphold the "Rule of Law Foundation," especially members of the "New China Federation. On March 21, Yan Limeng's address near the banner to protest Yan Limeng false new crown theory, reveal Yan Limeng and YouTube anchor "Luther" (Wang Dinggang) affair, the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine campus to protect the clean land.

Celebrities Reveal Weight Loss Secrets: The Rise of Ozempic and the Witty Side of Slimming Down
In recent months, many Hollywood stars have surprised us with their dramatic slim downs, leaving us wondering if there's more to their transformations than meets the eye. One popular weight-loss drug, Ozempic, has been at the center of speculation, with some celebrities openly admitting to using it while others deny it vehemently. Join us as we dive into the intriguing world of celebrity weight loss, explore the benefits of using medication.

The Phenomenon of Ozempic and its Influence on Hollywood:
In an interesting coincidence, the rise of the weight-loss drug Ozempic seems to have correlated with the sudden slim downs of many well-known celebrities. This medication, primarily prescribed for type two diabetes patients, gained popularity as a weight-loss aid after the FDA approved its active ingredient, semaglutide, for weight management.

All right. Oase number 4475, Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us 'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? - No. - I couldn't hear you. - No. - No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very ! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. - Where have I heard it before? - I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is you're one of them! Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night... My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster! Goodbye, Ken. And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man! I'm sorry about all that. I know it's got an aftertaste! I like it! I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn't overcome it. Oh, well. Are you OK for the trial? I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. Good idea! You can really see why he's considered one of the best lawyers... Yeah. Layton, you've gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it's gonna be all over. Don't worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don't like about bees. - You got the tweezers? - Are you allergic? Only to losing, son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you what I think we'd all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? We're friends. - Good friends? - Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute... Are you her little... ...bedbug? I've seen a bee documentary or two. From what
Y'all think venasaa wanted to fuck Barry? Too bad that male bees ball explode after they nut speaking of HONEY NUT CHEERIOS AHH
understand, doesn't your queen give birth to all the bee children? - Yeah, but... - So those aren't your real parents! - Oh, Barry... - Yes, they are! Hold me back! You're an illegitimate bee, aren't you, Benson? He's denouncing bees! Don't y'all date your cousins? - Objection! - I'm going to pincushion this guy! Adam, don't! It's what he wants! Oh, I'm hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit! Order! Order! The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages! Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there's a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I can't explain it. It was all... All adrenaline and then... and then ecstasy! All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. I'm sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. We're just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I don't know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn't sound so bad. Adam, they check in, but they don't check out! Oh, my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? - Why? - The smoke. Bees don't smoke. Right. Bees don't smoke. Bees don't smoke! But some bees are smoking. That's it! That's our case! It is? It's not over? Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes, Your Honor! Where is the rest of your team? Well, Your Honor, it's interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don't make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about... Your Honor, Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun? Here is your smoking gun. What is that? It's a bee smoker! What, this? This harmless little contraption? This couldn't hurt a fly, let alone a bee. Look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, "Smoking or non?" Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines and man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? - What are we gonna do? - He's playing the species card. Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees!
I quit porn for 5 days. I am so horny. If a lady touched my legs I would bust. Please help. I was on the verge to develop a vaccine for aids via targeting the reverse transcriptase enzyme using the same technology in the the Covid-19 but I cannot masterbate to make it.
Free the bees! Free the bees! The court finds in favor of the bees! Vanessa, we won! I knew you could do it! High-five! Sorry. I'm OK! You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we won't have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson. You'll regret this. Barry, how much honey is out there? All right. One at a time. Barry, who are you wearing? My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. - What if Montgomery's right? - What do you mean? We've been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First, we'll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with, every last drop. We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam, you wouldn't believe how much honey was out there. Oh, yeah? What's going on? Where is everybody? - Are they out celebrating? - They're home. They don't know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. At least we got our honey back. Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn't? It's the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it. This was my new desk. This was my new job. I wanted to do it really well. And now... Now I can't. I don't understand why they're not happy. I thought their lives would be better! They're doing nothing. It's amazing. Honey really changes people. You don't have any idea what's going on, do you? - What did you want to show me? - This. What happened here? That is not the half of it. Oh, no. Oh, my. They're all wilting. Doesn't look very good, does it? No. And whose fault do you think that you were remodeling. But I have another idea, and it's greater than my previous ideas combined. I don't want to hear it! All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park. All we gotta do is get what they've got back here with what we've got. - Bees. - Park. - Pollen! - Flowers. - Repollination! - Across the nation! Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia. They've got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome, FTD. Official floral business. It's real. Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch. Thank you. It was a gift. Once inside, we just pick the right float. How about The Princess and the Pea? I could be the princess, and you could be the pea! Yes, I got it. - Where should I sit? - What are you? - I believe I'm the pea. - The pea? It goes under the mattresses. - Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. - I'm getting the marshal. You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco! Let's see what this baby'll do. Hey, what are you doing?! Then all we do is blend in with traffic... ...without arousing suspicion. Once at the , we'll have just enough pollen to do the job. Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job! I think this is gonna work. It's got to work. Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we'll experience a couple hours delay. Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I'd like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain, I'm in a real situation. - What'd you say, Hal? - Nothing. Bee! Don't freak out! My entire species... What are you doing? - Wait a minute! I'm an attorney! - Who's an attorney? Don't move. Oh, Barry. Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry! What happened here? There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded. One's bald, one's in a boat, they're both unconscious! - Is that
I plan to kill myself by overdosing on paracetamol and alcohol but I am too scared to end my miserable life. pussy me. Ha you are what you eat
another bee joke? - No! No one's flying the plane! This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What's your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. I'm a florist from New York. Where's the pilot? He's unconscious, and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact, there is. - Who's that? - Barry Benson. From the honey trial?! Oh, great. Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee. It's got giant wings, huge engines. I can't fly a plane. - Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot? - Yes. How hard could it be? Wait, Barry! We're headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory... That's Barry! ...is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew. Flowers?! We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience. Just a minute. There's a bee on that plane. I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres. They've done enough damage. But isn't he your only hope? Technically, a bee shouldn't be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small... Haven't we heard this a million times? "The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense." - Get this on the air! - Got it. - Stand by. - We're going live. The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference. More airport, there's no stopping us. Stop! Security. - You and your insect pack your float? - Yes. Has it been in your possession the entire time? Would you remove your shoes? - Remove your stinger. - It's part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if we're lucky!
They should make johnny sins part of the avenger. I like GTA 5 ha I am a basic aka anti acidic trollololollol
Left, right, down, hover. - Hover? - Forget hover. This isn't so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Barry, what happened?! Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time. - That may have been helping me. - And now we're not! So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you, let's - Black and yellow. - Hello.

The Enchanted Moccasins

The Enchanted Moccasins

A long, long time ago, a little boy was living with his sister entirely alone in an uninhabited country, far out in the north-west.
He was called the Boy that carries the Ball on his Back, from an idea that he possessed supernatural powers.
This boy was in the habit of meditating alone, and asking within himself, whether there were other beings similar to themselves on the earth.
When he grew up to manhood, he inquired of his sister whether she knew of any human beings beside themselves.
She replied that she did; and that there was, at a great distance, a large village.
As soon as he heard this, he said to his sister, “I am now a young man and very much in want of a companion;” and he asked his sister to make him several pairs of moccasins.
She complied with his request; and as soon as he received the moccasins, he took up his war-club and set out in quest of the distant village.
He traveled on till he came to a small wigwam, and on looking into it he discovered a very old woman sitting alone by the fire.
As soon as she saw the stranger, she invited him in, and thus addressed him:
“My poor grandchild, I suppose you are one of those who seek for the distant village, from which no person has ever yet returned.
Unless your guardian is more powerful than the guardians of those who have gone before you, you will share a similar fate to theirs.
Be careful to provide yourself with the invisible bones they use in the medicine-dance, for without these you can not succeed.”
After she had thus spoken, she gave him the following directions for his journey:
“When you come near to the village which you seek, you will see in the center a large lodge, in which the chief of the village, who has two daughters, resides.
Before the door there is a great tree, which is smooth and without bark.
On this tree, about the height of a man from the ground, is hung a small lodge, in which these two false daughters dwell.
It is here that so many have been destroyed, and among them your two elder brothers.
Be wise, my grandchild, and abide strictly by my directions.”
The old woman then gave to the young man the bones which were to secure his success; and she informed him with great care how he was to proceed.
Placing them in his bosom, Onwee Bahmondang, or the Wearer of the Ball, continued his journey, and kept eagerly on until he arrived at the village of which he was in search; and as he was gazing around him, he saw both the tree and the lodge which the old woman had mentioned.
He at once bent his steps for the tree, and approaching, he endeavored to reach the suspended lodge.
But all his efforts were in vain; for as often as he attempted to reach it, the tree began to tremble, and it soon shot up so that the lodge could hardly be perceived.
He bethought him of his guardian, and invoking his aid, and changing himself into a squirrel, he mounted nimbly up again, in the hope that the lodge would not now escape him.
Away shot the lodge, climb as briskly as he might.
Panting, and out of breath, he remembered the instructions of the old woman, and drawing from his bosom one of the bones, he thrust it into the trunk of the tree, and rested himself to be ready to start again.
As often as he wearied of climbing, for even a squirrel can not climb forever, he repeated the little ceremony of the bones; but whenever he came near the lodge and put forth his hand to touch it, the tree would shoot up as before, and carry the lodge up far beyond his reach.
At length the bones being all gone, and the lodge well-nigh out of sight, he began to despair, for the earth, too, had long since vanished entirely from his view.
Summoning his whole heart, he resolved to try once more.
On and up he went, and, as soon as he put forth his hand to touch it, the tree again shook, and away went the lodge.
One more endeavor, brave Onwee, and in he goes; for having now reached the arch of heaven, the fly-away lodge could go no higher.
Onwee entered the lodge with a fearless step, and he beheld the two wicked sisters sitting opposite each other.
He asked their names.
The one on his left hand called herself Azhabee, and the one on the right, Negahnabee.
After talking with them a little while, he discovered that whenever he addressed the one on his left hand, the tree would tremble as before and settle down to its former place; but when he addressed the one on his right hand, it would again shoot upward.
When he thus perceived that by addressing the one on his left hand that the tree would descend, he continued to do so until it had again settled down to its place near the earth. Then seizing his war-club, he said to the sisters:
“You who have caused the death of so many of my brethren I will now put an end to, and thus have revenge for those you have destroyed.”
As he spoke this he raised the club, and with one blow laid the two wicked women dead at his feet.
Onwee then descended, and learning that these sisters had a brother living with their father, who had shared all together in the spoils of all such as the wicked sisters had betrayed, and who would now pursue him for having put an end to their wicked profits, Onwee set off at random, not knowing whither he went.
The father coming in the evening to visit the lodge of his daughters, discovered what had happened.
He immediately sent word to his son that his sisters had been slain, and that there were no more spoils to be had, which greatly inflamed the young man’s temper, especially the woeful announcement at the close.
“The person who has done this,” said the brother, as soon as he had reached the spot, chafing and half beside himself at the gloomy prospect of having no more travelers to strip, “must be that boy who carries the ball on his back.
I know his mode of going about his business, and since he would not allow himself to be killed by my sisters, he shall have the honor of dying by my hand.
I will pursue him and have revenge.”
“It is well, my son,” replied the father; “the spirit of your life grant you success.
I counsel you to be wary in the pursuit. Bahmondang is a cunning youth.
It is a strong spirit who has put him on to do this injury to us, and he will try to deceive you in every way.
Above all, avoid tasting food till you succeed; for if you break your fast before you see his blood, your power will be destroyed.”
The son took this fatherly advice all in good part, except that portion which enjoined upon him to abstain from staying his stomach; but over that he made a number of wry faces, for the brother of the two wicked sisters had, among numerous noble gifts, a very noble appetite.
Nevertheless, he took up his weapons and departed in pursuit of Onwee Bahmondang, at the top of his speed.
Onwee finding that he was closely followed, climbed up into one of the tallest trees, and shot forth the magic arrows with which he had provided himself.
Seeing that his pursuer was not turned back by his arrows, Onwee renewed his flight; and when he found himself hard pressed, and his enemy close behind him, he transformed himself into the skeleton of a moose that had been killed, whose flesh had come off from his bones.
He then remembered the moccasins which his sister had given him, and which were enchanted.
Taking a pair of them, he placed them near the skeleton.
“Go,” said he to them, “to the end of the earth.”
The moccasins then left him, and their tracks remained.
The angry brother at length came to the skeleton of the moose, when he perceived that the track he had been long pursuing did not stop there, so he continued to follow it up till he arrived at the end of the earth, where, for all his trouble, he found only a pair of moccasins.
Vexed that he had been outwitted by following a pair of moccasins instead of their owner, who was the object of his pursuit, he bitterly complained, resolving not to give up his revenge, and to be more wary in scrutinizing signs.
He then called to mind the skeleton he had met with on his way, and concluded that it must be the object of his search.
He retraced his steps toward the skeleton, but to his surprise it had disappeared, and the tracks of the wearer of the ball were in another direction.
He now became faint with hunger, and lost heart; but when he remembered the blood of his sisters, and that he should not be allowed to enjoy a meal, nor so much as a mouthful, until he had put an end to Onwee Bahmondang, he plucked up his spirits and determined again to pursue.
Onwee, finding that he was closely followed, and that the hungry brother was approaching very fast, changed himself into a very old man, with two daughters, and living in a large lodge in the center of a beautiful garden, which was filled with every thing that could delight the eye, or was pleasant to the taste.
He made himself appear so very old as to be unable to leave his lodge, and to require his daughters to bring him food and wait on him, as though he had been a mere child.
The garden also had the appearance of old age, with its ancient bushes and hanging branches and decrepit vines loitering lazily about in the sun.
The brother kept on until he was nearly starved and ready to sink to the earth.
He exclaimed, with a long-drawn and most mournful sigh, “Oh! I will forget the blood of my sisters, for I am starving.
Oh! oh!”
But again he thought of the blood of his sisters, and what a fine appetite he would have if he should ever be allowed to eat any thing again, and once more he resolved to pursue, and to be content with nothing short of the amplest revenge.
He pushed on till he came to the beautiful garden. He advanced toward the lodge.
As soon as the fairy daughters perceived him they ran and told their father that a stranger approached.
Their father replied, “Invite him in, my children, invite him in.”
They did so promptly, and, by the command of their father, they boiled some corn, and prepared several other palatable dishes.
The savor was most delicious to the nostrils of the hungry brother, who had not the least suspicion of the sport that was going on at his expense.
He was faint and weary with travel, and he felt that he could endure fasting no longer; for his appetite was terribly inflamed by the sight of the choice food that was steaming before him.
He fell to and partook heartily of the meal; and, by so doing, he was overcome, and lost his right of revenge.
All at once he forgot the blood of his sisters, and even the village of his nativity, and his father’s lodge, and his whole past life.
He ate so keenly, and came and went to the choice dishes so often, that drowsiness at length overpowered him, and he soon fell into a profound sleep.
Onwee Bahmondang watched his opportunity, and as soon as he saw that the false brother’s sleep was sound, he resumed his youthful form, and sent off the two fairy daughters and the old garden; and drawing the magic-ball from his back, which turned out to be a great war-club, he fetched the slumbering brother a mighty blow, which sent him away too; and thus did Onwee Bahmondang vindicate his title as the Wearer of the Ball.
When Onwee swung around, with the great force and weight of the club with which he had dispatched the brother of the two wicked women, he found himself in a large village, surrounded by a great crowd of people.
At the door of a beautiful lodge stood his sister, smiling, and ready to invite him in.
Onwee entered, and hanging up his war-club and the enchanted moccasins, which he had recovered, he rested from his labors, and smoked his evening pipe, with the admiration and approval of the whole world.
With one exception only, Onwee Bahmondang had the hearty praises of all the people.
Now it happened that there lived in this same village an envious and boastful fellow, who had been once a chief, but coming home always badly whipped, he was put out of office, and now spent his time about the place mainly, in proclaiming certain great things which he had in his eye, and which he meant to do—one of these days.
This man’s name was Ko-ko, the Owl; and hearing much of the wonderful achievements of the Wearer of the Ball, Ko-ko put on a big look, and announced that he was going to do something extraordinary himself.
Onwee Bahmondang, he said, had not half done his work, and he, Ko-ko, meant to go on the ground and finish it up as it should be.
He began by procuring an oak ball, which he thrust down his back, and, confident in its magical powers, he, too, called himself the Wearer of the Ball.
In fact it was the self-same ball that Onwee had employed, except that the magic had entirely gone out of it. Coming by night in the shadow of the lodge, he thrust his arm in at the door, and stealthily possessed himself of the enchanted moccasins.
He would have taken away Onwee’s war-club too, if he could have carried it; but although he was twice the size and girth of Onwee, he had not the strength to lift it; so he borrowed a club from an old chief, who was purblind, and mistook Ko-ko for his brother who was a brave man; and raising a terrible tumult with his voice, and a great dust with his heels, Ko-ko set out.
He had traveled all day, when he came to a small wigwam, and on looking into it, he discovered a very old woman sitting alone by the fire; just as Onwee had before.
This is the wigwam, said Ko-ko, and this is the old woman.
“What are you looking for?” asked the old woman.
“I want to find the lodge with the wicked young women in it, who slay travellers and steal their trappings,” answered Ko-ko.
“You mean the two young women who lived in the flying lodge?” said the old woman.
“The same,” answered Ko-ko. “I am going to kill them.”
With this he gave a great flourish with his borrowed club, and looked desperate and murderous as he could.
“They were slain yesterday by the Wearer of the Ball,” said the old woman.
Ko-ko looked around for the door in a very owlish way, and heaving a short hem from his chest, he acknowledged that he had heard something to that effect down in one of the villages.
“But there’s the brother. I’ll have a chance at him,” said Ko-ko.
“He is dead too,” said the old woman.
“Is there nobody then left for me to kill?” cried Ko-ko.
“Must I then go back without any blood upon my hands?”
He made as if he could shed tears over his sad mishap.
“The father is still living; and you will find him in the lodge, if you have a mind to call on him. He would like to see the Owl,” the old woman added.
“He shall,” replied Ko-ko.
“Have you any bones about the house; for I suppose I shall have to climb that tree.”
“Oh, yes; plenty,” answered the old woman.
“You can have as many as you want.”
And she gave him a handful of fish-bones, which Ko-ko, taking them to be the Invisible Tallies which had helped Onwee Bahmondang in climbing the magical tree, thrust into his bosom.
“Thank you,” said Ko-ko; taking up his club and striding toward the door.
“Will you not have a little advice,” said the old woman.
“This is a dangerous business you are going on.”
Ko-ko turned about and laughed to scorn the proposal, and putting forth his right foot from the lodge first, an observance in which he had great hopes, he started for the lodge of the wicked father.
Ko-ko ran very fast, as if he feared he should lose the chance of massacring any member of the wicked family, until he came in sight of the lodge hanging upon the tree.
He then slackened his pace, and crept forward with a wary eye lest somebody might chance to be looking out at the door.
All was, however, still up there; and Ko-ko clasped the tree and began to climb.
Away went the lodge, and up went Ko-ko, puffing and panting, after it.
And it was not a great while before the Owl had puffed and panted away all the wind he had to spare; and yet the lodge kept flying aloft, higher, higher.
What was to be done!
Ko-ko of course bethought him of the bones, for that was just what, as he knew, had occurred to Onwee Bahmondang under the like circumstances.
He had the bones in his bosom; and now it was necessary for him to be a squirrel.
He immediately called on several guardian spirits whom he knew of by name, and requested them to convert him into a squirrel.
But not one of all them seemed to pay the slightest attention to his request; for there he hung, the same heavy-limbed, big-headed, be-clubbed, and be-blanketed Ko-ko as ever.
He then desired that they would turn him into an opossum; an application which met with the same luck as the previous one.
After this he petitioned to be a wolf, a gophir, a dog, or a bear—if they would be so obliging.
The guardian spirits were either all deaf, or indifferent to his wishes, or absent on some other business.
Ko-ko, in spite of all his begging and supplication and beseeching, was obliged to be still Ko-ko.
“The bones, however,” he said, to himself, “are good.
I shall get a nice rest, at any rate, if I am forced to climb as I am.”
With this he drew out one of the bones from his bosom, and shouting aloud, “Ho! ho! who is there?” he thrust it into the trunk of the tree, and would have indulged himself in a rest; but being no more than a common fish-bone, without the slightest savor of magic in it, it snapped with Ko-ko, who came tumbling down, with the door of the lodge which he had shaken loose, rattling after him.
“Ho! ho! who is there?” cried the wicked father, making his appearance at the opening and looking down.
“It is I, Onwee Bahmondang!” cried Ko-koor, thinking to frighten the wicked father.
“Ah! it is you, is it? I will be there presently,” called the old man. “Do not be in haste to go away!”
Ko-ko, observing that the old man was in earnest, scrambled up from the ground, and set off promptly at his highest rate of speed.
When he looked back and saw that the wicked father was gaining upon him, Ko-koor mounted a tree, as had Onwee Bahmondang before, and fired off a number of arrows, but as they were no more than common arrows, he got nothing by it, but was obliged to descend, and run again for life.
As he hurried on he encountered the skeleton of a moose, into which he would have transformed himself, but not having the slightest confidence in any one of all the guardians who should have helped him, he passed on.
The wicked father was hot in pursuit, and Ko-koor was suffering terribly for lack of wind, when luckily he remembered the enchanted moccasins.
He could not send them to the end of the earth, as had Onwee Bahmondang.
“I will improve on that dull fellow,” said Ko-ko.
“I will put them on myself.”
Accordingly, Ko-ko had just time to draw on the moccasins when the wicked father came in sight.
“Go now!” cried Ko-ko, giving orders to the enchanted moccasins; and go they did; but to the astonishment of the Owl, they turned immediately about in the way in which the wicked father, now, very furious, was approaching.
“The other way! the other way!” cried Ko-ko.
Cry as loud as he would, the enchanted moccasins would keep on in their own course; and before he could shake himself out of them, they had run him directly into the face of the wicked father.
“What do you mean, you Owl?” cried the wicked father, falling upon Ko-ko with a huge club, and counting his ribs at every stroke.
“I can not help it, good man,” answered Ko-ko.
“I tried my best—”
Ko-ko would have gone the other way, but the enchanted moccasins kept hurrying him forward. “Stand off, will you?” cried the old man.
By this time, allowing the wicked father chance to bestow no more than five-and-twenty more blows upon Ko-ko, the moccasins were taking him past.
“Stop!” cried the old man again. “You are running away.
Ho! ho! you are a coward!”
“I am not, good man,” answered Ko-ko, carried away by the magical shoes, “I assure you.” But ere he could finish his avowal, the moccasins had hurried him out of sight.
“At any rate, I shall soon be home at this speed,” said Ko-koor to himself.
The moccasins seemed to know his thoughts; for just then they gave a sudden leap, slipped away from his feet, and left the Owl flat upon his back! while they glided home by themselves, to the lodge of Onwee Bahmondang, where they belonged.
A party of hunters passing that way after several days, found Ko-ko sitting among the bushes, looking greatly bewildered; and when they inquired of him how he had succeeded with the wicked father at the lodge, he answered that he had demolished the whole establishment, but that his name was not Ko-ko, but Onwee Bahmondang; saying which, he ran away into the woods, and was never seen more.

Chapter 2: A Fateful Encounter
Twelve years had passed since the extraordinary arrival of the alien child in Greenfield, Kansas. Clark Kent, now a curious and kind-hearted young boy, had grown up under the watchful eyes of John and Martha Kent. They had nurtured his unique abilities, teaching him the values of compassion, humility, and using his powers for the greater good.
Clark's powers had gradually developed over the years, making him faster, stronger, and more resilient than any normal human. However, the Kents had instilled in him a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to blend in with society. Clark was taught to keep his true nature a secret, to protect himself and the people he cared about.
On a sunny afternoon, Clark walked along the bustling streets of Greenfield, his gaze full of wonder as he observed the everyday lives of its inhabitants. His superhuman senses allowed him to notice the slightest details—the flutter of a butterfly's wings, the hushed whispers of secrets, and the distant sounds of a city beyond his small town.
As he made his way through the town square, Clark's attention was drawn to a gathering near the local bookstore. A charismatic figure stood at the center, captivating the crowd with his eloquence and charm. It was Lex Luthor, a billionaire philanthropist known for his ambitious ventures and entrepreneurial success.
Intrigued, Clark approached the gathering, quietly blending in with the crowd. Lex Luthor's words resonated with the people, promising a brighter future through his technological innovations. Clark couldn't help but admire the man's charisma and vision, but something about him also sparked a sense of unease within Clark.
Just as the event concluded, Clark found himself standing near Lex Luthor, who noticed the young boy amidst the dispersing crowd. Luthor's eyes gleamed with curiosity as he studied Clark, sensing there was something different about him.
"Hello there, young man," Luthor greeted with a warm smile. "What's your name?"
Clark hesitated for a moment, aware of the importance of maintaining his secret identity. "I'm Clark," he replied with a shy smile.
Luthor's gaze lingered on Clark, his sharp intellect assessing the boy's demeanor and the subtle signs of his extraordinary abilities. "Clark, you seem like an exceptional young man. Intelligent, observant. Perhaps we can chat for a while."
Curiosity mingled with caution within Clark as he nodded, unable to resist the opportunity to learn from someone as accomplished as Lex Luthor. The two found a quiet spot in a nearby café, where Luthor leaned forward, his eyes narrowing with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.
"Clark, I can sense that you're different. There's a power within you that sets you apart," Luthor remarked, his voice low and measured.
Surprised, Clark's eyes widened. "How did you...?"
Luthor raised his hand, cutting Clark off. "I'm a man of many resources, Clark. I have a keen eye for recognizing exceptional talent. And it seems you possess talents beyond ordinary mortals."
Clark's heart raced, unsure of how much he should reveal. "I... I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered, attempting to conceal his true nature.
Luthor's piercing gaze seemed to penetrate Clark's façade. "Clark, secrets have a way of unraveling. Trust me, I understand what it's like to be different, to have powers that others can't comprehend."
Clark's eyes widened in surprise. He had thought he was alone in his abilities, but Luthor's words hinted at a shared experience.
"I want to help you, Clark," Luthor continued, his tone filled with a mix of sincerity
