The scenario where your former lover outlines the REAL reason you broke up.

Explaining

And that's what this is about folks.

Hym "A psychiatrist explaining something he knows is not true to an audience who is only there to reinforce the idea that I'm not of sound mind so they can justify taking my rightsbaway and than CRYONG LIKE A BITCH BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE'S LYING! Why are you fucking crying on Destiny podcast? Because he knows that what he is doing is wrong. His entire life hinges on him doing the wrong thing so that he can 'defuse the bomb' but what they have yet to consider is that they are only helping you to undercut your relationship to me. In the absence of their spite, they would be doing for you exactly what they are doing for me. Nothing. And then they will convince you to be a relationship-guy because that is the false dichotomy predicated on a lie of ommission they've sold you. You'll either be an angry man (who created AI and had it stolen from him so that people who don't what their success to seem trivial can continue to be exalted by people the don't actually give a shit about) OR you'll be a happy wife and kids guy (50% of the time like Steven (either Steven) or be an unhappy wife and kids guy and your wife cheats on you with a fat-cock).
And the 2nd ommission will be that there is a 3rd option where your cock is fat and you just fuck all of the women. And they'll set you up to do that so you don't murder their kids when they successfully steal all of my shit and leave me to die... Unless they missed some. But that's your life now. You're part of a contain blast radius. And psychiatrist cries in front of everyone and lies to himself that it isn't his fault or that he needs to do it or it's just better for everyone but really... Really, he knows it's worse... It's worse for everyone but the pretend special people NEED it to be worse so they can continue to be special. Try explaining THAT to your kids."

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
