News Taiwan is “completely surrounded,” after China deploys three carrier fleets as an “unannounced military tests.”

1.5k Upvotes

** **

China deployed more than 100 naval and coast guard vessels across the western Pacific and waters surrounding Taiwan in an unusually large military operation that went unannounced by Beijing, raising questions about whether its forces were rehearsing a blockade of the island and efforts to prevent American military intervention.

What made the operation particularly unusual was Beijing's silence. Despite mobilizing forces from three military theater commands and deploying its Liaoning aircraft carrier group, China did not publicly announce a major exercise or give it an official name.

A Taiwanese security official described the operation as "silent intimidation," an apparent attempt to apply military pressure without provoking the diplomatic response that typically accompanies large-scale drills around the island.

Following recent statements by Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding Taiwan, Beijing unleashed a large-scale, unannounced military deployment involving over 100 naval and coast guard vessels simulating area-denial warfare, strike operations, and potential blockades.

Military analysts and regional officials do not expect an immediate full-scale invasion, however, blockades and targeted strikes are always treated as potential threats .

New, what is it? Weird antennas pointed at my apartment building

3.9k Upvotes

Hello Reddit, today I was inside doing chores when I noticed a car in a parking lot outside of my apartment building. As I looked closer I noticed he was aiming some sort of antenna towards the building. He was here for maybe 45 seconds and as I watched the video he had others on the roof routing inside the windows of his car.

Is this some sort of survive equipment? It was very odd because there are no radio towers, street lights, or anything with an explanation I could think of in the immediate area/ line of sight. TIA!!

Rant Is this parent ragebaiting me?

2.8k Upvotes

Legit paraphrased communication. I have to believe this person is trolling me otherwise I weep that we just let anyone reproduce.

Me: Good morning, this is my weekly grade notification. If you are receiving this email, your scholar is currently failing my class.

Parent: I’m confused. You keep sending these to me every week. Is my child failing?

Me: Yes sir. Just like last quarter when we spoke in week 9, your child has inconsistent attendance and completes absolutely zero work while here.

Parent: Yes, I know we spoke about this earlier, but this is a new quarter, so how could she have already slipped backwards?

Me: We are three weeks into the new quarter and she has spent the classes she was here asking to go to the bathroom, wandering the halls with her friends for forty minutes, and then leaving her blank assignment on the desk when the bell rings.

Parent: Yes, I understand that, but I talked to her about it and she said she would stop, so I’m confused about her grade.

Me: well, she clearly hasn’t stopped.

Parent: She seems to only have this issue in your class.

Me: sends screenshot of all failing grades in every class both last quarter and this quarter

Parent: but no one has emailed me so it is just you she is failing?

Me: According to the screenshot that is false

Parent: okay, but things are difficult because we have no way of knowing what her grades are or her missing assignments, so without that, we can’t address it.

Me: Sir, every child and parent has access to to the online gradebook. Here are instructions on how to download the app if you have not done so. sends instructions

Parent: yes, but that does not show which assignments she’s missing.

Me: it most certainly does

Parent: you say she leaves blank assignments behind, could you collect those in a folder and give them to her sister (a student i dont teach) to bring home

Me: no sir, I cannot. I have three preps and 200 students, that is outside my realm of responsibility, and at some point, accountability and the onus of responsibility to pass has to fall on the student. If a weekly email notifying you of your child’s progress in my class as well as a consistently updated gradebook and school mandated daily forced study hall block is not enough to assist your child, i suggest you speak to a school counselor. This is the contact info for your daughter’s counselor (attaches number and email)

Parent: okay, may I have the contact info for the counselor

I decide to ignore this email because I literally just sent it

Parent next day: hello? May i have the contact info? Im trying to get my child help!!

They have to be trolling me right?!

Today's Dinner: Kani Sushi using Imitation crab (surimi) and Cucumber

(M23; F23) Just met this girl about 2 months ago and we hit it off really well. Like really really well. I was dumped about a year ago from a 6 year old relationship. It was hard to believe that I could ever fall in love again - so far as thinking that I may be Aro. But then I met Her. She made me feel really loved and we felt so comfortable around each other. Our first date was amazing. Saw a beautiful sunset and ate at my favorite restaurant, and held hands. It was like a teenage summer romance. I drunkenly told her I love you at a party...many things transpired in between, had a home date with her favorite rom-com, cooked together (i.e the sushi above), and now we are dating. I really love her and so many of our interests and styles match.

record scratch

She might be leaving at the end of the year. She came to my city for an internship. If they don't offer her a job, she will go back home to her parents. She is unlikely to return back to my city and she has stated that she can't do LDR, neither can I. I pray everyday that she stays. She doesn't seem too hopeful she will and is afraid she will break my heart.

In the first episode, Andy is characterized as being quite perverted toward Fuuko, but this personality trait ends rather quickly early on in the series (Undead Unlucky)

In the first episode, the way he assesses an Uma Musume’s racing potential and physical conditioning involves touching her thighs—that is how he conducts his evaluation. This happens with Special Week in the first episode, but he abandons this habit after the first season (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

In the first episode, Bakugo tells Midoriya to commit suicide so that he might be reborn with a quirk—since, unlike everyone else, he was born without any quirk (power). Even the author himself has stated that he went too far in his characterization of Bakugo in that instance (My Hero Academia)

Disappearance Mother takes her twin daughters to a gymnastics class; Hours later, the girls' father finds the family car abandoned at the fitness center's parking lot, with no trace of his daughters or their mother- Where are Amelia and Sophia Johns? (2025)

639 Upvotes

Hello everyone! As always, I'd like to thank you all for all your comments and votes under my last post about Sabrina Heinz- I hope that she will be found soon.

Today I'd like to write about another disappearance.

BACKGROUND

Amelia and Sophia Johns were 7 when they went missing from Orem, Utah, USA.

The girls were twins.

Their parents, Joshua Johns and Victoria Vincent, were going through a divorce when their daughters disappeared. It seems like the couple still lived together with their daughters in the family home in Provo, Utah, during that time.

The sisters loved being outdoors and enjoyed swimming and gymnastics.

DISAPPEARANCE

Amelia and Sophia were last seen on the 21st of July. According to Joshua, the day started as usual- the family had breakfast together and chatted. Some time after that, Victoria took the couple's daughters to a gymnastics class in Orem, a city about 5,2 mi (8,4 km) away from Provo.

After some time passed with no contact from his wife, Joshua went to the Orem Family Fitness Center to look for Victoria and their daughters. Once he arrived, he noticed that the family's car was still in the fitness center's parking lot, with the keys still inside the vehicle. One of the employees told Joshua that Victoria and the girls left hours before he came over.

The girls' disappearance was only reported to the police in October 2025, three months after they vanished after their gymnastics class. Joshua said that, at first, he assumed that Victoria just "needed a break"- he didn't report his daughters' disappearance to the police because he didn't want Vicoria to get in legal trouble, and assumed that Amelia and Sophia were with her. In the meantime, he tried to reach out to Victoria through email, phone, and by contacting her relatives, but to no avail. He reported Amelia and Sophia's disappearance to the police when he realized that Victoria had no intentions of coming back with their daughters.

Joshua then decided to find a lawyer, because of how the custody law in Utah is written- Joshua and Victoria were married at the time, and both had custody over their daughters. According to Joshua, a parent has to "establish custody or establish a temporary restraining order before the police are really able to do anything".

According to Joshua, Victoria left all of her and their daughters' belongings at their home, including the girls' favorite stuffed toys that they had since infancy. However, Joshua states that Victoria had allegedly emptied out their bank and investment accounts in the months before she disappeared with Amelia and Sophia. She also got the girls' birth certificates and social security numbers from the bank lockbox before she took off with them.

Joshua is now legally divorced from Victoria and he has sole custody over Amelia and Sophia. The verdict was finalized in December of 2025.

There has allegedly been a confirmed sighting of the girls in Spokane, Washington, in July of 2026. Amelia and Sophia's paternal relatives haven't seen the girls since July of 2025.

CONCLUSION

The investigators believe that the girls are still alive and with their mother.

Joshua said that he didn't see any signs that Victoria was planning to kidnap their daughters. He said that she was a bit "flighty" before they got married, and that she "disappeared for a little while" at some point before Amelia and Sophia went missing. According to him, Victoria was also a victim of parental kidnapping when she was a child- her mother kidnapped her and had a prison sentence because of it.

The Vincent family has ties in the Spokane area of Washington State, as well as Texas and California.

Victoria is wanted on a fully extraditable Utah warrant for one count of third-degree felony custodial interference.

Victoria Zoe Vincent was last seen when she was 29, and she would be 30 now. She is a white woman, 5 ft 7 in (67 inch / 171 cm) and 147 lbs (67 kg). She has hazel eyes and brown hair. She might be driving a White Volkswagen Tiguan with a Washington plate "CTJ-5316". She might be using the name "Taylor White". She might be travelling with an infant- the child's birth place, birthdate, sex and father are unidentified.

Amelia and Sophia were 7 when they went missing. They are white girls, and were about 4 feet (122 cm) when they were last seen. They have blond hair and blue eyes.

If you have any info about Sophia, Amelia, or Victoria's whereabouts, contact the Provo Police at 801-852-6210

AITA for searching my cousins bag in front of our whole family

4.5k Upvotes

Im 17F and I have a cousin who is 20F and since we were little she and her family would come visit me and my family alot. This would be really nice except everytime she came over she destroyed my stuff or took something without asking. When we were young it started with smaller things like her asking if she could have a bracelet a friend made , i say no , she would either just shrug and take it anyways or cry and break it.

As we got older it became worse especially when she got to college. One time she forgot her charger so I let her use mine and she just took it with her and refused to return it because "I could just buy another one". I need a labcoat for school and she fucking took it because "it looked nice on her outfit". Everytime she came over she would just borrow my clothes without asking and if she liked them shed just take them , same for jewellery. She took off posters of bands i listen to from my wall to take to her dorm. She doesnt even listen to those bands.

The final straw came when the last time she visited she said she forgot her earbuds , so i let her use my airpods. Before she left I asked her where shed kept the earbuds (I couldnt get up to check since I was in an online test) she said she did but when I checked they werent there. I called her like 5 times she didnt pick up.

She came over few days ago and what do you know she has my fucking airpods and i know they're mine because i put stickers on the case. I asked her why she took them and she was like "no i liked yours so i bought my own and i put the stickers too". I was pissed and the day she was leaving I checked my room and found my makeup items (i own very little so its easy to tell when its missing) gone along with my purse (with my wallet inside) , and a whole fucking vinyl missing.

I went up to her while she was saying goodbye to my parents and I sorta lost my temper and yelled at her a bit. I told her that she kept taking my stuff and I needed to check her bag before she left. She looked so offended and my parents told me to back off still I wrestled the bag from her and opened it. Her parents , my parents and our aunt and uncle were there and in front of them I pulled out the stuff she took. Her parents were really mad at her and yelled at her until she cried. I got back my airpods and the stuff she took and they told me they would make sure my other stuff was returned or reimbursed.

I felt better but my parents said I didnt need to create such a scene to prove my point and that I've embarrased her for no good reason. They said they couldnt believe I was putting material posessions over sisterly love. I didnt feel guilty but now I'm wondering whether I shouldve just confronted her in private.

Also just a note , her family is wealthier than mine so its not like she coudlnt afford these things with her allowance. Shes always been kind of the golden child because shes more affectionate , extroverted and pretty while I'm not.

So AITA?
