[author0] Our neighbor gave us these seeds a while back. He’s since passed away. Last I remember the seeds were from his workplace (Fort Worth, TX Zoo). It’s summer here in Texas and these guys started to show up. He said they were edible, but I don’t even know what kind of tree this is. [author1] We always called them Japanese plums, but I think they are called loquats
Edit: super sweet [author2] My dad said that, when he was a kid, pomegranates were called Chinese apples. He’s 75. [author3] But... pomegranates aren’t from China.... haha [author4] Guinea pigs are from guinea either.
Loads of love forms have misleading names.
Like fava beans.
Fava just means bean.
They are bean beans.
Pomegranates just means grenade apple btw. [author3] Mmm bean beans

[author0] Someone needs to AP and find the cure for coronavirus now! I feel like it's a special type of blood that can cure coronavirus. [author1] Good news. It’s so overhyped by media for narrative/agenda reason(s) that a “cure” is no longer needed. Just like no one was ever really asked to “AP” and find a cure for the Flu last year or any other particularly nasty respiratory infections from many years past.
The main side effect of Covid-19 isn’t caused by the illness ( the shutdown of society ) Covid-19 is just a “reason” being used to do it. The real cause of the Shutdown is to do with other separate agenda(s) that are in the interest of a small number of the most powerful people in the world.
Any “AP” request should be to do with the underlying problem and not have anything to do with testubes and Astral Realm medical science.
Even if an instant and total cure were to be made and put in the air in a fashion that everyone on earth was cured and or/ completely immune going forward .... the News Media wouldn’t acknowledge it and lockdown would stay in place.
The information “middleman” is the biggest problem here. The Main Stream Media who are bought & paid for. [author0] Could it be that trump is a puppet of the new world order?
Also... Kim Jong Un got infected by the virus...
North Korea, Iran and Russia are all within the political interests of the USA... That's one less to worry about.
I've also heard about Israel plotting to take over the world since the year 2000.
​
What if they're playing it very subtly so that nobody notices it? What if they're slowly yet very cleverly manipulating everyone into this bigger conspiracy plot.
If the government was actually trustworthy and dependable then there wouldn't be conspiracy theorists trying to find anything fishy going on or so much shadiness going on everytime you look further.

[author0] AJ Hunter and Conan Clarkson suspended for 3 days [author1] I dont get this, you have a shortage of cops so you suspend cops? Both rated and ramee have both put in full cops days this week. They arent full time cops, its stupid to ask them to drop everything and switch. [author2] There's no such thing as a part time cop on this server. If there arent enough cops you switch. [author1] No such thing as part-time cop? Then they might as well quit being cops all together, they dont rely on cop prio. They play cop cause they want to have fun not because its their main thing, and this whole RP around Chang is exciting and fun why would they want to leave it?
Also how you gonna explain Baas?

[author0] Chinos. I usually wear Dockers D3s (44x30,) but they look very office like. That's fine for when I was doing office work however I've moved to a new position where I don't have be as rigid.
Does anybody recommend a pair of chinos that look a little more modern and less office than the Dockers? I was hoping to spend around $40-$50 a pair.
I appreciate any suggestions.
EDIT: Punctuation. [author1] I always recommend ASOS brand chinos. Best I have ever worn. I have probably 6 or 7 pairs in multiple colors. Great for the office and great for Casual Fridays. The only thing to be wary of is that they run large. I wear a 48x32 in Levi 541s and a 46x30 in ASOS chinos fits just right. [author2] IMO ASOS doesn’t run large, Levi’s just runs small. I have to size up in Dickies and Levi’s compared to ASOS, Lee, Rothco, and Wrangler.

[author3] There is a ton of whoooshing going on in this thread. [author2] Is there, though? [author3] You're right, septimus must have watched this video, saw that Tampa was the only team in the top 6 without a Cup, and come to the serious conclusion that they have capitalized on their solid teams. Such an assessment of their fortunes is, from most perspectives, incorrect indeed! [author2] Is it, though?

[author0] My (21M) girlfriend (18F) and I broke up about a month ago, but she still acts like we are dating. My girlfriend and I broke up about a month ago, and ever since she still acts like we are in a relationship. The breakup was her idea, and I was blindsided by it. She said she wanted to take a break, and I less than half-heartedly agreed. Fast forward to now, and we've sorta transitioned into a FWB type relationship. However, I'm, for the most part, still financially supporting her buying her food, clothes, and gifts. When I brought this up to her and told her I felt like she was using me, she assured me she wasn't and that she stills loves me and cares for me, to which I countered "Then why did you want to break up", and she responded saying our relationship made her suicidal, but during our relationship, she never once brought these concerns up with me or displayed any signs of being suicidal. Furthermore, she still acts like we are a couple, showing affection in public, wanting to cuddle, and just overall do couple things. However, I know this woman like the back of my hand, so I know how good she is at putting on an act. I went through her phone one day, yeah I know I shouldn't, and found her texting multiple guys, and even found evidence of her fcking another guy. I strategically, asked her questions about her dating life, as to avoid suspicion about going through her phone, and she told me that she was not seeing anyone else, and was not fooling around with anyone. I know this to straight-up lie, and I'm shocked that after spending so much time together that she would lie straight to my face, and it makes me question her motives and everything else she has told me. I've mentioned to her that we should probably take a break from each other and go no contact for at least 30 days, but every time I do she shuts that conversation down, as she doesn't want to lose me or something along those lines. I know I should stop talking to her, and hanging out with her, as I'm playing into her game, but I love her to death and just can't bring myself to do it. She was the first friend I made when moving to a new city, and I just can't see myself cutting her off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
​
TLDR: Ex-girlfriend still acts like we are together, and is mentally toying with me. [author1] Cut her off cold turkey. You are not obligated to keep financially and emotionally providing for her. Block her on everything if you need to, this is not healthy for you. [author0] I know I'm not obligated, and I'm pretty much being the definition of a simp, but it's just hard to cut someone off like that, for me anyway, but I appreciate the advice, and I'm most likely going to do exactly that.

[author0] Lithium and spironolactone? Hi ya’ll, i’m currently taking 600mg lithium every night. I got blood work done today due to some health issues and I might be put on spironolactone. My endocrinologist knows all the meds i’m on and hasn’t brought up any interactions, but Dr. Google says spironolactone can raise lithium levels. I got blood work done for my psych in March and my lithium levels were nice and low. I was wondering if anyone has any insight or experience on these two. Best wishes🙏🏻 [author1] The therapeutic range of Lithium is from 0.6 to 1.2. So if you are at 0.9 it would take a 33% increase just to get to the top end of the therapeutic range. How much does spironolactone increase lithium levels? [author0] “....spironolactone increases lithium concentrations by 16% when given concomitantly. Although this interaction may not produce a significant rise in serum lithium concentrations, spironolactone should be considered as having the potential to interact with lithium.”
I haven’t had any issues with lithium other than when taken with Prozac which was *terrible* so that’s made me a bit more cautious. I feel better knowing i’m within that range and spiro won’t raise it the 33% like you said. Thanks!!

[author0] Dean breaks my heart On his bachelor party saying “why didn’t she love me” while he falls asleep in Jess’s bed! Saddest thing ever! N it kind of kept going downhill... [author1] luke ought to have kicked his a** then objected at the wedding. plus told rory what was going on to warn her of this stalker once and for all. also told lindsay [author2] Realistically though someone like Dean would beat Luke's ass in a fight if it came to it though. An extremely tall 19/20 year-old guy who clearly works out a lot like Dean, versus an average sized middle aged man like Luke. It would be very unrealistic otherwise [author1] true. if dean was drunk, i think it might be a more even match. although, luke did try to fight dean that one time in season one and they portrayed it like it was an even match i think. he should’ve just locked the diner door. that would’ve been hilarious.

[author0] Rant about edtpa I'm sorry, but I just need to rant about this thing. I've submitted the first time, highly confident I would pass it the first time and I didn't which really shocked me because I turned it in month early preparing to get ready to apply for jobs. I resubmit it and even worked with my program director on how I should write certain parts on my EDTPA and I didn't pass again. At this point, I just feel so defeated. I honestly don't know what to do. I spent countless hours even more on the second time to rewrite this, just to get another failing score.
I'm just so defeated and don't know what to even do at this point. [author1] That sucks! What part are you having trouble with? I got a 58 this semester so maybe I could offer some tips. [author0] Mine is for math and due to the virus, I can only really resubmit the first task technically. I'm not sure how I can improve since Pearson doesn't really give any useful feedback... I basically got all 2s and 3s and I thought I wrote my essays based off the rubric twice now even with our program director.

[author0] Weird Nox Glitch? Anyone have that weird glitch where the ball is hit to the 1B, who then straddles the bag and freezes? On Nox it then proceeds to crash and say my internet connection is bad (it isnt) and then says "Click OK to proceed to the next at bat." Only problem is is that I go back in and it replays it and glitches out again. Only solution I've found so far is to reset the season. Anyone experience this or have any tips to solve this? Really hate losing my season progress. Thanks! [author1] This has been happening go me too and I cannot explain it, only once did I have it where it did it twice but usually after I re log in again it works just fine. One other time entirely after losing a game it just said an error occured while sgutting down and I was forced to replay the game. I've never had this error a bunch and it never impacts anything outside of that at bat outside of that one time but I lost so I was happy to have the game forget it. [author0] so it works after you reload Nox? i deleted it the first time and it worked normally (at least for a bit until it glitched again) but i dont want to be deleting it each time.

[author0] (SPOILER) This is gonna be a weird question... SPOLIER - CIVAL WAR QUESTLINE
When I join the civil war, I always chose the imperial legion. Don't get me wrong, I don't choose them for banning the Talos' worship. The only reason I chose this and not the stormcloaks is because I hate killing Balgruuf. I also think that Ulfric's a racist d**k but mainly for Balgruuf. Does anyone else do this? Or just me? [author1] Very true, Ulfric’s treatment of other races proves he’d make a terrible leader. You can’t beat the Thalmor without the help of other races. [author0] I've heard that Ulfric is actually going to be the cause of an even bigger war, caused by the Thalmor. So in the end, even if you help in the war, millions will still die. [author1] But who’s more likely to defeat the Thalmor? A united Empire (Morrowind, Skyrim, Cyrodiil, and Hammerfell) or four divided countries with continuous local struggles? [author0] Definitely a untied empire. One group of elves against 4 other combined groups? They'd be wiped off. [author1] That alone is more than enough reason for me to be an Imperial snob. But with the next entry I expect we’ll finally see the Thalmor start to recede. With ship battles rumored and that very cinematic shot of a desert I’d guess Hammerfell and I can’t wait to see how this plays out. [author0] If you're talking about elder scrolls 6, than according to other reddit post it's actually a place called Redfall. [author1] Redfall isn’t a know place in TES lore. That may be the title, but if it is I don’t believe that’s referring to a place. And if it is it doesn’t currently exist. [author0] Makes sense. Unless it's an undiscovered land and you're an explorer. Than again, there'd at least be a reference to it somewhere... [author1] I guess that’s a possibility, seems awfully early though to trash old lore and create a new country or even continent when more than half of Tamriel hasn’t even been included properly. Here’s hoping Redfall has a correlation to Redguard and therefore Hammerfell. Such an interesting race and land, and hopefully that means pirate time. [author0] Pirates? Oh, hell yes! This is gonna be great if that's true XD

[author0] MC businesses are pretty bad I personally think MC businesses are bad. They take long to produce and give small profit in return (I buy supplies, as I don't have time to source), the sale missions the MC businesses have are the worst in the game (my opinion). Only reason I still have them open is for nightclub.
But what are your opinions on MC businesses? [author1] I made my millions in the beginning off of MC businesses strictly focusing on cocaine and cash
Once I fully upgraded all of the components I expanded to meth.
it's a money maker especially if you have a few friends because you basically supply it and then sell it.
It's not really a solo adventure and buying supplies is pointless if you're not financially stable.
I have weed just because I wanted it and I will never buy forgery [author0] I do have to admit mc businesses are great at beginning. But in my opinion, the bunker and nightclub outshines them.
I would do MC resupply missions, but man they take ages. I unfortunately can't sit out gta for half a day. [author1] When you think MC might go double start filling your cocaine.
Outside of that just let it rest. [author0] When was the last time they were x2? This quarantine has made me lose track of time [author1] Probably soon because it's been a few weeks I can't say definitively but maybe even next week since this week is CEO. [author0] I'll fill up coke and meth. Then I'll do weed and cash
Thx [author1] Do not do weed do not do not do not do not do not.
It's not worth the money when it's not double.
even when it's doubled some of the vehicles blow up so you might as well just do cash. [author0] Ok thx 4 advice

[author0] Any ADHD/PMDD peeps take Wellbutrin? Hi. I've been up and down my entire life but I notice a change in me a couple weeks before my period. I just got diagnosed with ADHD last year and Vyvanse has helped immensely. My psychiatrist is recommending Wellbutrin to help with my mood as it gets especially bad the weeks leading up to my period. I'm wondering if anyone else has gone this route. I have tried taking magnesium bisglycinate and calcium citrate to help but I might need some extra help with managing my moods. Does anyone else have a similar experience that can tell me if it helped to take an anti depressant for PMDD? [author1] I was diagnosed with ADHD back when I was 13 or 14 I was on adderall but as I think most know it’s highly addictive. So they switched me Wellbutrin. Around the time I turned 16 I told my mom I don’t want to take them anymore because I also have depression. Both medicines made me feel like a zombie. Very numb with no emotions, and I’d rather cry my eyes out than not feel anything at all. It’s so much worse . But I would encourage anyone who actually needs medicine for their problems to go more natural if you can. But try it and take notes on how you feel before and after taking it. They work different for everyone. It’ll take some time for your body to get accustomed to but definitely worth a shot for helping you. [author0] Thank you for your input and feedback! Yeah I've been keeping track of my moods each day in a calendar so I'm hoping it helps. Are you doing better now?

[author0] Supposedly we can print unlimited money, but Tea is cheap, and patience is free. A big housing indicator starts to creak. Previous Post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ga29ar/tea\_leaves\_pork\_futures\_and\_chickens\_running/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ga29ar/tea_leaves_pork_futures_and_chickens_running/)
edit: linked the correct previous post because OP is bad at this.
​
So, as we've discussed many times, housing is one of our big 3 indicators for systemic failure. The machine has started to creak a bit.
[https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/30/wells-fargo-says-it-will-no-longer-accept-applications-for-home-equity-lines-of-credit.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/30/wells-fargo-says-it-will-no-longer-accept-applications-for-home-equity-lines-of-credit.html)
This tells us that more of the riskier lines of loans are starting to dry up. Why is a HELOC (home equity line of credit) higher risk right now? Well, it inverses a bull market in that people taking a HELOC now are more likely to be doing so because they need money for basics, not luxuries. During a Bull market, banks might assume that people taking HELOCS are expanding or making themselves more valuable, and the bank is happy to takes its cut via interest. Banks now, meanwhile, want to hold on to as much liquidity as possible during uncertain times, to stay flexible.
As we've discussed before, recession/depressions do a unique thing to the loans/housing market.
Underlying Prices go down.
Mortgage rates go down.
BUT, it gets harder, not easier, to get these good new loans/prices. One more way the poor get screwed.
As banks fight to conserve their liquidity, they'll naturally get more and more stringent on who they're willing to give loans to, because they need a guarantee that you're not about to lose your job and default on the money they give you. They don't want to end up owning homes that no one is paying for (because they'll have to) and it'll increase the encumbrance on their market nimbleness.
With a HELOC, they might surmise that you might already be in trouble, and that you're more likely to default on the new loan. If you're going to default anyways, they'd rather keep all their money, thanks. Almost sounds like the thing the Fed does where they give money to the companies that need it the least, and the little guy gets left out to dry...Hrm...Patterns... This is one more way the "houses build wealth" myth fucks you, in that its not always money when you really need it, because now you have lots of money you can't get to when you really need it.
If it were me, and I had a great credit score (800+), and I was looking, I absolutely wouldn't buy a damn thing right now. When housing collapses, you can pick up things for much much cheaper, as the vast majority of Americans (sub 800 credit scores) won't be able to buy anything. If you have a good enough down payment, you'll still be able to entice banks to take the risk on you, because you'll represent much less risk if you have enough liquidity to show you can put down 15% during a recession.
Something else I've noticed a bit of, is that we're getting a bit whippier, in that we're starting to see a bit more range in our nightly activity. Combine that with gaps, and it's got me interesting in playing nightly straddles again. Cause everyone likes positions and picture, below is a picture of my 'testing the waters" position tonight. I picked it up at 330EST just as volatility was starting to pick up for end of day, so even as theta decayed (I bought a May 04 straddle) my premium, volatility helped keep its value high. I'll sell it first thing tomorrow morning, unless we're already in a big trend pushing my straddle more in the money. If we appear to be stable, or moving back towards my strike, I'll sell as soon as market opens. The other nice thing about buying right as volatility starts to open, while its still low, is that you can get your straddles closer to end of day strike pricing. This should give you a bit more money, because straddles are entirely based on how far the underlying moves from the straddle in the moment you buy it. You can skew a straddle if you think it'll go up or down, by buying a higher or lower straddle, but I personally prefer a neutral entry.
[https://i.imgur.com/vTaMxf5.png](https://i.imgur.com/vTaMxf5.png)
I payed 601.34 for the position, we'll see where our return is in the morning. If its strong, we'll prolly take a stronger stance tomorrow, as straddles can be extremely safe returns, and you don't have to be on either side of the "MY POSITION IS FUCKED" that plagues the daily thread after closing.
Straddles allow you to take a much more aggressive stance on your bets, because even when you bet 100% of your position, you know that you're not capable of going bankrupt, and if you could place a bet with 50% of your position that you were 100% certain would profit, you absolutely would. The risk in the straddle is the decay of the premium, so if we think "nothing" will happen, we don't go in, but if "nothing" does happen, we're only going to eat the decay, and we'll get out as soon as we're able. When sizing your positions, size your loss-risk tolerance based on that.
For now, we're still waiting to see our indicators fail 'harder', but nothing so far has really given us a reason to doubt our outlook. I'll be starting to take some larger straddle positions on the overnight if things return well the next couple of nights, both so that the incoming gaps can pay out, and in the event the fall of mankind starts at 3am before markets open, I'll still have tickets on the ride.
​
Remember when we said this could lead to war?

Be safe autists, lets try and safely pad things a bit before the ride takes off.
[https://i.imgur.com/JYl4mBC.png](https://i.imgur.com/JYl4mBC.png) [author1] Not that I disagree with you entirely. But that type of lending was gone as soon as the fed started printing money. Banks would much rather borrow at 0% and take the guaranteed 2% on safe loans and bonds. When the rates are above 2% they have to make riskier plays to make their money. 99% of the subprime lending market closed their doors in March. [author0] Officialism is important in this context, because people who are not in bed with wells fargo might read this and think to themselves that they need to get their money out of their house via HELOC before their doors close too. We teach people that you can always withdraw your equity when you have a house, its one of the things that make it such a "safe" investment. The exact same mentality (panic, sell before I can't), that occurs in every single crash. WaMu ended up folding under similar behavior, and if banks start to tell people they can't have their money, people will panic further, a self fulfilling prophecy. Thanks for the great comment!

[author0] If I buy (or preorder) the Xbox One version of a game and play it in the Xbox Series X, will it be the same as if I bought the Series X version of it? In terms of graphics and such, are the two versions the same or is the series x version going to be inherently different/better? I’m referring specifically to Assassins Creed Valhalla, I would like to preorder the disc but I dont know if it would be better to buy the series x version after the console comes out, or if there will be an option to preorder it for series x later. [author1] It may be like Cyberpunk where as if you purchase the xbox one version you may be able to download the series x version for free. I'm sure the 2 will be different IMO [author0] This makes sense, I know Minecraft did this when the bedrock edition was released. But Ubisoft will most likely have two different discs. But I’m not super worried about that, it’s still backwards compatible, I’m mainly worried that it will have worse graphics if I use the Xbox one disc. [author2] I would expect the Xbox One disc would serve as the license, and that whatever is missing from your Xbox One disc would be downloaded and patched in so you can play the XSX version.
If you are going to buy it day-1 and don't plan on trading it in, then I would just suggest getting the digital version. No disc swapping or dealing with broken disc drives. Just start and play regardless if you are on XB1 or XSX. [author3] So you mean that the main game, assassin's creed valhalla, will be on xbox one and the DLC on XSX?? I know, that's not what you meant but it sounds like it! [author2] Depends on what you mean by "DLC", but I expect all playable content to be available on all platforms.
What is not, is content specific to the device like higher resolution textures for XSX for instance, etc.

[author0] My Unpleasant Switch to Linux I've been using windows for ages now for gaming, programming, and everyday tasks. I got into linux when I started working with VPS's and liked the layout more than windows. I also had some performance problems on windows that had to do with navigation (search bar) and just some other minor annoyances. This prompted me to switch to linux which I went for Manjaro KDE. First issue I had was that I couldn't easily change the scaling of just one monitor after hours of searching for an answer. Someone recommended to make a separate X screen which I did but the settings never stayed after reboot even when I edited the xorg file as root. I decided to push on though which left me with one normal sized monitor and another one that was scaled up way too much.
Then the next major problem happened with programming. I code mainly in python and I have to compile exe's for windows. The only package (nuitka), which doesn't make my programs easily crack-able is what I've used for the past year. If I compile in linux it makes a linux binary so I tried with wine but even after I installed the needed C compiler packages to get nuitka to work, it still didn't work. So then I got stuck with using a windows vm to compile.
The final straw is when I tried gaming. First off I can't use my vr headset at all since there is 0 support for it (windows mixed reality, and yes ik its windows but its the cheapest vr headset on the market by about half the price when I got it). Then I realized that most of my fps games which have battle eye and easy anti cheat do not work such as escape from tarkov, rainbow six siege, and insurgency sandstorm. I tried figuring out how to setup a kvm with a gpu pass-through but what do you know, linux won't detect my igpu so I get no display when trying this. I uninstalled all my drivers and checked the bios to make sure its enabled which it was. My igpu does not even appear in the hardware view.
So now here I am, stuck with numerous issues with no clear fix and most of which should be seemingly trivial like scaling which in windows I can change it with a click of a button. On top of which most solutions to my problems is to just use a windows vm which kinda defeats the purpose of even using linux if more than half of what I do can only be done in windows. Even when I try to use the windows solution like with the KVM, things just don't work as they should. I really want to like linux but I feel like every corner I take I'm getting punched in the face. I haven't switched back yet but if I can't find a solution probably within the next day or so I'll be forced to go back to windows or just "deal" with not being able to do half of my normal computer functions. If you made it this far thanks for reading my rant :P [author1] Linux is a community effort. By my understanding their are not that many major companies backing it. Although I suspect some are. Seems how it is used in servers, phones and handful of other devices. That being said, because their is not a large backing from major companies it actually falls on people like you that are good with code that are interested in the community to bridge the gap.
Because Windows is the standard for most software and devices the only way I have heard of to make everything work is through a Virtual machine. [author0] For gaming I can understand. But when I cant simply change scaling which any person using more than one monitor would have the same issue like on windows thats a big hit. On top of not being able to make a kvm after following all the guides and having the hardware thats supposed to support it [author1] Did you pay for it? That is how I look at it. I am not an experienced Linux user by any means. But, it was free to download. That being said I consider it a meta achievement more than anything at this point. You can game on linux and their are some obvious plus' in my opinion. For one the memory usage is much lower then windows. For two it is open source. It is also free. So people who play games do not have to worry about that dilemma of do I pay 200 dollars for windows....buy one of those cheap shady keys on the internet or try to get some hack version of windows 7. They can just download a free open source software.
Having said all that I do not know if linux is ready for the big time just yet as far as gaming. Setting my system for gaming took basic coding skills.... Something I do not think the majority of gamers want to do. So, at this point it is just a meta. For it be main stream for gamers they pretty much just have to have it set up to install and go. But, for the most part it really did not take much. you just need to learn some terminal codes. But, I still think a lot of average PC users will have trouble with that.
But, for something that I didn't pay for I guess I can not ask it to be perfect. If I pay bill gates 200 bucks I want this shit to run like a fricken swiss watch. But, for free I guess I can understand that some stuff is not going to work perfect.
But, if you have serious issue with it...just go back to windows. Things in this world cost money so until someone pays a large group of people to focus on polishing and tooling every thing in linux their will be some bugs. [author0] Just wanted to point out that those "shady keys" do work and a lot of public figures in YouTube advocate for them but you can always just download it for free on Microsoft's site and deal with the water mark or find a crack online if that's your thing. Cracks are probably more publicly available than most of the fixes I need for my issues above.
I'm not trying to shit talk linux or anything. Low memory usuage was one of the big reasons for the switch and gaming support has come a long way for sure. However good these things are it doesnt subtract from the fact that something which a lot of people seem to be able to do and from what I've been told I should be able to do too, I can't get to work (kvm gpu passthrough) or the fact that dual monitor support isn't fully there either which I'm a bit confused on why that is since most people I know that run linux use more than one monitor.
Linux will have problems that I accept but what I can't accept is the supposed work arounds to fix my issues don't work but work for others for seemingly no reason. Also I do have coding skills but I don't have the time to write a whole ass package to deal with scaling which should be already handled by linux being such a basic necessity for dual monitor users.

[author0] I (24f) and going crazy with my roommates (60sm) (30sf) (30sf) (40sm) (11m) Hi everyone
To start off I live in NYC. Roommates are very normal here. I live in a 5 bedroom apt with 5 others. I’ve been living here for a year and I am not on a lease. I pay cash every week to live here. However, NYC is in lockdown and I am an ICU healthcare worker.
There are two women in their 30s, an older man who is the super of the building and I’m very close with, and a man with his son.
Since living here I’ve always worked a lot and now even moreso. My roommates are all working from home and have been for almost two months now. When I first moved in I was told there was a set of rules. I could have friends over from 10am-6pm only in my bedroom. No music can be played anywhere and no loud phone calls in the kitchen. I had to clean the bathroom every Wednesday. I can’t open the window in the bathroom for any reason whatsoever. If I use the kitchen I have to clean up after myself, etc. Lots of things that made sense.
One of my roommates, we will call her Maria, has made my life hell. When I first moved in I was running away from and abusive bf. I still had bruises and a black eye when I moved in. My ex followed me home one night and I had to call the police. They did a wellness check every few days for a few weeks. After a few visits, Maria pulled me aside. She said under no circumstance should the police come here. She doesn’t like police in HER apt and she feels I’m being dramatic and unnecessary. I told the detective on my case, and the police still came and told her to chill out, that I’m in danger. Maria would come at me for the bathroom every single Wednesday. I cleaned and scrubbed and it was never good enough. She told me the super would kick me out bc I’m not cleaning, and that he only kicks people out who don’t clean. Meanwhile, not one of my roommates cleans anything. At all. They work from home I come home and find the bathroom and kitchen disgusting. Maria comes at me for phone calls- she made a new rule no one can be on a phone call in the apt. But I can hear my roommates all on the phone. No music allowed- but the father and son blast their TV all night and day. Then she said after 7pm we cannot cook or use the kitchen until 10am the next day and I blew up on her. I work usually 9am-7pm 6 days a week. I will not be able to cook. She told me to “order out” like I’m rich and can afford to eat out for all my meals. And now, it’s Ramadan. She put a note saying she will be using the kitchen every night for a month from 6pm-10pm. And that we have to cook before her bc after her we cannot cook.
I’m sorry for the long post but I’m very stressed and haven’t eaten much in days bc of all of this. There’s a lot more and I want to move but I cannot bc of Covid. I’m crying while typing all this bc I’m so frustrated. I’ve tried talking to her but she says there can’t be any exceptions to HER rules- which btw she’s not on the lease the super is the leaseholder she’s just lived here a few weeks longer than me. Any advice appreciated [author1] Ignore her, some people are just insane the only thing you can control in life is yourself, I’m sure someone will hop on here and tell you to do something childish and retaliate, but don’t it’s not worth it. [author0] I’ve been ignoring her and she just keeps talking or snaps her fingers in my face. [author1] Yep she’s a psychopath, just stay calm, she wants a reaction, just act instead, people like that usually talk in a circle and contradict themselves and you can point that out to her which usually makes people like that mad to no end, you can also stand up for yourself without causing a commotion as well by calmly explaining to her that it not okay for her to talk to you that way that you are not some sort of animal that can be snapped at. She probably won’t know what to do she wants you to act irrationally and either fight her or cause a loud commotion to get you kicked out because you either intimidate her in some way or she’s some way to gain from you being gone

[author0] Help, does anyone know how to fix this issue: Basically when I render one of my videos and save it on Quickplay when I click on it, it says “this type contains some media which is not compatible with quicktime player” idk what to do I heard that Apple and AE doesn’t support it anymore after doing some research but I didn’t find any solution to this problem 😓😓 I worked so hard on this edit and I’m really proud of it [author1] Quicktime player is garbage. I dont recommend using it for anything, ever. But also it dropped support for a number of old quicktime codecs a while back.
But what codec did you actually export as? Quicktime (mov) is a container not a codec.
If you left it on default it was probably Animation, which is ancient and absolutely massive. Never use animation codec. Use Pro Res or DNx.
This may help too:
______________________________
Copy and paste that answers nearly every post around here:
- Export via Render Queue to Pro Res, DNx, or an Image Sequence.
- Use AME to compress that to whatever it is you need.
- Dont export straight to AME from AE.
- Dont export an h.264 directly from AE. Its asking for a bad time. [author0] Thank you so much🥺♥️♥️

[author0] Pence staff threatens action against reporter who tweeted about visit to clinic without surgical mask [author1] Intimidation is all this admin knows [author2] It's to be expected when you elect the Mafia. [author1] And cowards [author3] They’re supposed to be the good Christians, smh. [author4] No they weren’t. They’re who the evangelicals and Baptists voted for. The evangelicals haven’t been decent humans for decades
ETA: and the southern baptists, well, the Baptist churches split (creating the southern baptists) EXPLICITLY over slavery. The southern baptists were for it. And that moral perversion has led them to be the people they are today! [author5] Yeah they're only the most charitable group in America, but go ahead with your generalizations [author6] Hate isn't currency. [author7] Well, I dont know about the rest of the church's around America, but my church really doesn't hate anyone [author8] Let’s hear your church’s thoughts on consenting adults in same sex relationships, then?
Plenty of room for hate in supply side Jesus’ heart. You just need to look past the money.
Edit: immigration might be another great place to look for that Christian charity. [author9] My church welcomes LGBT people, several of whom make up our congregation. There are still Christians who care about rule number one. Love above all else. [author8] So can they be ministers, or is this one of those “separate but equal”/“love the sinner not the sin” bits of nonsense? [author9] No clue about being ministers (they’re a fairly small church), but we had a chat after a Christmas service, and he wholly rejected the idea that homosexuality is sinful. [author8] Cool. You’ve really done something wrong if the standard for your religion is, “I belong to this group, but I promise I’M not a hateful bigot.”
I was raised Catholic in a generally loving community. Just seems like something one ought to be ashamed of. [author9] Yeah, sometimes I’m reluctant to say my faith to someone I’ve only recently met. It carries connotations now, thanks to some disturbingly foul churches. I refuse to describe anyone who practices bigotry as a Christian. If you’re a “Christian” and against the very fundamentals of love and understanding, you need to seriously consider if you’re in this because you love God and his creation, or because you’re insecure and just want to judge people.

[author0] A first-round QB?! Inside Packers' gamble on Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers [author1] The pick makes sense if they really truly believe Love is the heir to Rodgers in 2022.
If they picked him as a project or emergency starter it was a mistake.
The Packers could’ve greatly increased their chances of winning now with this draft but a franchise lasts longer than 2 seasons. [author2] That's the thing though, he really needs to be their next HOF qb. Love doesn't help this team the next 2 to 3 years. If he is kind of good will it be worth not giving Rodgers a better chance to get one as year after getting 13 wins? [author1] I agree with you, Love has to end up a perennial top 10 QB to justify the pick. Anything less and it was a reach and a missed opportunity to give the Packers a better chance of reaching the Super Bowl.

[author0] Depth (movement on Z-axis) in 2d grid-based movement game Hi!
​
I'm developing a game for a particular group of disabled gamers. As such none of the existing engines will work for my needs, so I have to design my own.
I've got basic collisions, 4-direction movement on the x and y axis, and quite a bit more besides.
My issue now is adding that all important third axis, the Z axis.
Obviously my thought was merely expanding my two dimention array into a 3 dimention array. The thing is, there is almost no literature on dealing with games in a 3d array like that. No optimized pathfinders, nothing.
So developers must be doing something else to express this depth rather than a 3D array.
I'm curious how the older Pokemon games did this, since they are also 4 directional grid-based movement games, but even as early as Red / Green you could jump over ledges and such.
​
I've been working over this problem for about half a year now, and to a certain extent even longer than that. Any light you could shed on this would be amazing. And that's an understatement.
​
Thanks! [author1] You can fake a third direction by increasing scale, for example. The early pokemon games probably didn't include a third axis, but rather an animation would play when jumping over the obstacle. Essentially, the 3rd axis is faked. You could also implement a layer system, where objects on different layers don't interact with each other if you want to make it appear like objects go over each other. A z-index type variable should be used to draw objects behind of/ in front of each other.
But you don't need a 3rd axis if you're making a game in 2D, surely? If you're trying to make a 3D game engine, you should be using matrices to store transform data. [author0] Well my game is 2D in the sense that older Pokemon games were 2D. For the most part, but I do want to work with some 3D stuff like climbing hills and mountains and stuff. I'll be honest with you, I don't know what you mean by using matrices, maybe that gets to the root of my problem if you could expand? A lot of this drawing stuff isn't particularly important to my engine though as the disability in question is blindness and there are no visuals. So that kind of went over my head as well. Sorry! [author1] Interesting. Matrices are used mostly with respect to the actual rendering process, as it helps to apply position, rotation and scale to an object. Of course, this heavily ties in with the rendering process so I'm not sure if it's really applicable for your particular scenario. I don't really know how blind people play games (I presume it's largely audio related) so I'm not sure what advice I could give you.

[author0] Male 23, Girlfriend still loves me but doesn't find me sexually attractive due to my lack of maturity. And the fact I do too much for her. I need advice? Me and my girlfriend haven't had sex in awhile, part of this is due to the mental drain of the quarantine but much of it is due to the fact my girlfriend doesn't find me sexually attractive at this time. She and I are the same age and she acts just as immature as I do often more. I have recently graduated from college and do not have much in the way of real life experience which I believe attributes to my lack of maturity. The other thing is that she says I do to much for her and never push back. That I do pretty much whatever she asks within reason. Alot of this is due to my father who raised me to always do what your woman wants and not question it. She wants me to push back some more and become more mature. She believes ill mature with age but at the same time I want to know how I can change for her. I love her and want to be the man she wants both physically and emotionally. Any advice? [author1] You sound mature, but you also sound way to easy to abuse and manipulate.. Some women want to be dominated! Some want to do the chasing and not be chased.. just do more for you and allow me to say fuck her. Don’t care whether or not she wants you.. I know it hurts but she doesn’t have the only Vagina out there.. YOU ARE BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED. I don’t know a lot about you.. this is all I have to say. Just don’t be a woman worshiper man. Be a man. [author0] She admits she feels she's taking me for granted and wants to stop. A lot of it comes from the way I was raised my father does everything for my mother and doesn't ask twice even if he doesn't want to do it because it's the man's duty. [author1] I don’t want to insult you but that “man’s duty” is utter bullshit and just a recipe for being taken for granted. You’ll either man up and dominate her. Or someone else will man.. I prefer being honest than massaging people with comforting lies. You have to fuck what she wants sometimes if it goes against what you want. Try to be a good and supportive boyfriend, not a slave. Be a man. I hope this didn’t offend you. [author0] It didn't I was raised in an insanely traditional Italian household so im always open to advice

[author0] Your Favorite Model? Mine is the 26. [author0] Upon turning 21, I knew my first handgun that I did the paperwork for was going to be a Glock 26. Being a broke college student meant I saved for months just for all the panic buying to hit. After weeks of searching and signing up for notifications from online retailers, I found the exact model I was looking for and got it transferred today.
Of the Glocks I’ve owned or shot, the 26 is hand’s down my favorite to shoot.
Now searching for a holster. Currently leaning towards the Tier 1 Concealed T1-M with ulticlips. I wear sweats or basketball shorts a lot and heard good reports from people who run a similar system. [author1] I’m 21 in a week and I’m in your same situation, except I’m not having too much luck haha [author0] I feel it. I literally refreshed gundeals.com at least 20x a day and signed up for in-stock notifications from all the big online retailers. Eventually got an email and jumped on it. [author1] That’s the move man, I was calling shops like 2 months ago when it started to get crazy to try and put a 26 on layaway until I could legally buy it, but no luck. I’m not even mad that I can’t spend my 21st at a bar, I just want my goddamn Glock

You can make Boss Damage sockets by running Heroic. You can craft and upgrade them at Glave.
As for title, an easier one to get would be Corrupted Dragon's Blood (defeat Drabaki 100 times) which is pretty decent and not hard to get.
Key to Victory (Dark Elves' Outpost 50 times) is also pretty popular not super grindy one to get.
If you wanna grind, Pierce the Heavens (Elrianode City grind) is really good but the thing is very outclassed by Survival of the Cold (Abandoned Icerite Plant grind), though the latter requires like 550k CP to get in the first place. [author0] What's a good percentage for Crit and Maximize to start socketing for Boss Damage? I should've included that in my question lol. [author1] 70\~80% Crit and Max are the gold standard people recommend, so you're good.

[author0] In an alternate universe where COVID-19 didn't happen and James Gunn was never fired, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 likely would have been released tonight. In 2017, Gunn alluded to a possible May 1, 2020 release date. [author0] At the time, Marvel Studios had release dates staked out for May 1, August 7, and November 6. Seeing as GOTG Vol 2 had received the coveted May release date, and the fact that GOTG Vol 3 was tasked with diving further into the cosmic side of the MCU, it seems like a safe bet that it would have been the first film in Phase 4. [author1] Would have done a billion dollars easy. Especially if Thor was part of it. [author2] Easily.

[author0] Were now the proud owner of a leopard gecko named Steve. Advice on his tank? [author0] have a 60 watt bulb as well as a 7 watt Uvb light on the right. No lighting on the left. He has a hide away, a water bowl, and his food bowl. We added some of the fake leaves to add some color and a bit more hide space for him. We've had this set up for an hour and the Temps aren't really changing much. Not sure how long it takes to adjust temp.
I did tons of research and know about where they're supoosed to be with numbers and all but just curious if this set up looks like it would work?
I know I need a substrate carpet and a under tank heater. [author1] You don’t need a UTH if you have proper overhead heat, it’ll create surface and ambient temps. The UVB should overlap the hot area for about half the length of the tank, you need a bigger tank soon if you can’t fit it properly on there. Don’t listen to the nonsense about “belly heat is best and should be the only thing, lights are bad and UVB ain’t necessary”. That’s just straight up incorrect, outdated, myth based info. Overhead heat and UVB is the absolute healthiest way to care for your leo. You need plain calcium for most feedings, a multivitamin for occasional feeds, and a rare use of d3. Use a wide variety of properly gutloaded insects for feeding, none of that dyed cube stuff. Feed them real fresh veggies or a high quality gutloader like InsectFuel.
You need digital or probe thermometers and hygrometers plus a temp gun. The analogs on the wall are trash.
You need 3+ hides bare minimum. Cool, humid, and hot hides. You need clutter in the middle like tubes and plants. Carpet is a bad substrate and should never be used, it’ll catch claws and the loops can wrap around toes and cause loss of circulations. Paper towel is ok for now, I would recommend natural substrate in the future once you’re sure they’re healthy and you’ve got your husbandry nailed down. Tile is an meh option, but good if you somehow can’t manage to manage proper temps and such, provide a dig box if you use tile though. It’s good for their joints and muscle development.
This is an okay start but isn’t great. Good luck on changing stuff, I recommend joining Leopard Gecko-Advanced Husbandry on Facebook for up to date, non folklore care info. [author0] Thanks for the tips. Will take this into mind when shopping.
Dumb as question here, with the fake plant going to the roof, is he in any danger of climbing the plant and then moving the lid of the enclosure in order to escape? I know leos aren't great climbers. [author1] Leos like to climb, but the plant will probably bend lol. Ledges, hammocks, faux rocks, etc are good for them. Get some lid clips to be safe, they’re cheap and it’s for good peace of mind.

[author0] [Xbox One] For console Special Edition, does deleting a mod delete all of the relevant progress you made therein? If you delete the mod then re-install later will the progress be retained? Thanks! Title [author1] I'd assume it all gets erased but also it's generally a very bad idea to delete a mod on a save you're planning on continuing. [author0] The only reason I'd consider deleting a current mod is to make room for new ones. Xbox One only allows a 2GB max if I'm not terribly mistaken.
\[Edit: Apparently it allows for 5GB- thanks ZeddRah1\] [author2] 5GB [author0] Oh is it 5GB? Nice- just checked! Thanks for the tip. [author2] No problem. As I recall, fallout 4 was 2.

[author0] (WTS) Benchmade Anthem with Apurvis timascus clip (C) for mods. Today I've got an excellent condition Benchmade Anthem for sale . I am the second owner I believe and the edge is factory sharp. The blade is also centered almost perfectly and it has drop shut action with no blade play. I would rate it a B+ as I am the second owner. These clips normally go for $145.00 when available from apurvis site. This clip has some surface rub marks that are difficult to see in the photos, otherwise it is in good condition with vibrant blues and purples. I am asking for $395.00 shipped PayPal goods and services for the Anthem with Apurvis clip installed. Also includes original Anthem Weiner clip as well as box , baggie and papers.

[author0] Humvee keys! Good evening gentlemen, my name is pfc shmuckatelli, I am an 0311 in 29 palms. I just got here, and let me tell you it is hot. However my this sgt told me about 5 hours ago to go look for the humvee keys! I cannot find them whatsoever, I don't really know what they look like either when I ask everyone just says "you'll know when you see them" I am so tired. Can anyone send me a picture of them? Or tell me where they're usually kept?! I would very much appreciate it! Thank you gentlemen! [author1] Sorry devil, your wife of two months and I are looking all over your bedroom and we can't find em [author0] Thank you for the help! If there's anyone I trust with my wife, whom I've known for about 4 months, its a fellow marine!

[author0] Missing Control points.... So I just started doing the Saturn Manhunt. I was able to clear Battery Park. However in the Financial District zone as well as Two Bridge I only see 1 control point per zone. I did the whole reset of control points in Global Settings but there its still only showing 1 control point in each of the 2 zones.
Any suggestion/solutions would greatly be appreciated. [author1] Now question is the fog of war complete in the area because there is the celebration hotel and the pier or waterfront (i think that’s the name) in financial district [author0] Yeah so I was able to do the Celebration Hotel Control Point. I do not believe I have done the Fog of War. I'm currently not in game so I will check. So you are saying I will have to complete Fog of war before the second control point appears on map? [author1] Not exactly the fog of war blackens your map and you can’t see or tell what’s on it (example : broadcasts, Territory ) and they will show up as question marks so just walk through the area that is blackened on your map and you will reveal it

[author0] Is traxxas even relevant anymore? Hi everyone,
So I went to my lhs about a year or so ago, and the people there recommended all traxxas cars, like the slash and rustler. But all I see anymore is arrma. Is traxxas still a good buy anymore or are all their cars bad now? Thanks. [author1] +1 for arrma, arrma senton makes a slash look like it came from Walmart [author2] Anecdotal, I know, but my senton was an egregious piece of shit. It performed better, sure, but I could barely make a pack through without something breaking. Servo, power pack bearings, diff bearings, the rear diff itself chewed up, hinge pins, spur gear, drive shaft yokes the list goes on, plus arrma parts were far more expensive because it was a 1/8 chassis. My rustler, although not without its problems, has survived much better.
Downvote away, but I doubt I'll ever buy another arrma after that. I ended up stripping it for electronics and threw the chassis away [author1] Sounds like used, abused, and put away wet
Had similar diff and bearing issues on my first talion because I never properly cleaned or oiled it after runs [author2] Hardly. Never saw a skate park or big puddles, it didn't go anywhere my rustler didn't go. I've broken far less on my rustler. Maybe because its all tire and much lighter than the senton, but still, I expected far better. [author1] What do you want me to say? Shit doesn't just fall apart on its own and something as tough as the arrma 1/8 line take serious abuse to destroy, you either abused the shit out of your cars but don't think it's abuse, or you're just choosing to say you don't, the 6s senton is literally the strongest short course built, and anybody worth their salt will agree, if you're killing diffs and bending driveshaft you are seriously fucking up your landings, blasting the power recklessly while wheels are off the ground, [author2] Thats why I prefaced by saying it was anecdotal. Mine also wasn't the 6s. Mine was the mega with a very mild 1/10 brushless setup. 3600 or 3850 can't remember, wasn't really any faster than stock brushed, ran on 2s. I'm 36 years old, I know the difference between average bashing and deliberately beating the shit out of it, and the senton couldn't survive even that. It was garbage, sorry.

[author0] Hot dog companies and hot dog bun companies must have plotted long ago that one would package their product in 10s and one in 12s so that you'd always have a couple of one of them and be obligated to keep buying the other.

[George Banks superfluous buns](https://youtu.be/oYIHLUxzRr8) [author2] I can never think of anything else when I hear/read the word “superfluous.” Steve Martin is a genius! [author1] Seeing this today reminded me of my vast ineptitude of utilizing "superfluous" in my daily vocabulary. [author2] Exactly.

[author0] Canyon Grail AL 7.0, 3T Exploro PRO GRX or Cannondale 700c Topstone 105? Debating between these three gravel bikes. The Exploro is the most expensive one, but I can pick it up from a friend, nearly new for the same price as the Canyon Grail AL 7.0.
So I'm torn between these choices. Any insight? [author1] Start with test riding the Exploro. [author0] Got it. I mean on paper, the specs are definitely better. And I guess at half price, it's compelling.

[author0] Asking opinion of Fellow employees I want a gaming PC, might build one might just buy one pre-built to save time I wanna get the best deal 1200 and under doesn't matter how much ram as I can add some as needed, I won't be getting it for a while because of everything but I just want some opinions [author1] Are you just straight gaming? Or doing other stuff? [author0] I mostly wanna do it for running programs like photshop, Indesign any of those in the Adobe software but I also wanna use it for gaming because I stream some and I'm willing to just switch to PC Entirely [author1] Well I’d say a AMD Ryzen 7 3700 =$350 ish, Nvidia RTX 2060 =$350ish, 850watt power supply=$150ish, AM4 compatible motherboard=$200ish, full size tower ATX =$200ish. Then mouse and keyboard of your choice. Water cooler for CPU is also a good ideal $100-$150ish [author2] Some of these items are way overkill. A 650 watt power supply would be more than enough, $200 motherboard is also way overkill, and a $200 case is ridiculous and full size ATX is massive. CPU cooler comes down to a number of factors it just depends but stock AMD coolers are actually decent [author1] No a 650 watt is not enough. A good GPU will take 500 watts plus 50-100 from the CPU. So from 2 components your almost already maxing the power supply out and that’s not including anything else like fans or lights or anything else [author2] I literally have a 2070 super with a overclocked CPU with a 650 watt. GPUs do not take 500 watts and nvidia will literally tell you they don’t. I don’t know where you heard this from but you’re wrong [author1] Literally says on the box of most Nvidia GPU’s recommended power supply 500 watt minimum...but you’re right tho [author2] You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Yes, you are talking about a power supply unit for the whole system not the power draw of the actual graphics card. And you typically only need more than 500 watts for higher end systems that are running higher end graphics cards and other components. But the actual graphics cards that nvidia sells come no where near 500 watts power consumption the 2080 ti comes around 250 watts measured power consumption. The 2060 ko is around 100 watts. Depending on the build a 450 watt- 550 watt system can run most builds. Now most people get better power supplies because then they have room for expansion and they also typically have higher power efficiency ratings.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-founders-edition,5805-10.html [author1] You’re right internet master I have no clue what the fuck I’m talking about 👍🏻👍🏻 [author2] Literally provided you with an article, and it takes 5 seconds to google something but stay ignorant I guess [author1] 👍🏻👍🏻

[author0] Disinfecting carts for PR reasons? So today I was running the tablet at the front door and since it was nice I was outside. AM tells me to grab a few carts and park them on the sidewalk. I'm supposed to spray them with disinfectant when customers are coming just so they can see me doing it. AM said it was strictly for PR reasons. We have someone in the foyer disinfecting damn carts and I have to this garbage to please the customers. Does anyone else have to do this? [author1] It's a PR stunt, just like the health checks before clocking in, the one-way aisles, wearing masks, and counting people in the building. Not that these wouldn't be useful, but the ways they're implemented isn't. [author2] Happy cake day! 😊

[author0] My (21M) girlfriend (18F) and I broke up about a month ago, but she still acts like we are dating. My girlfriend and I broke up about a month ago, and ever since she still acts like we are in a relationship. The breakup was her idea, and I was blindsided by it. She said she wanted to take a break, and I less than half-heartedly agreed. Fast forward to now, and we've sorta transitioned into a FWB type relationship. However, I'm, for the most part, still financially supporting her buying her food, clothes, and gifts. When I brought this up to her and told her I felt like she was using me, she assured me she wasn't and that she stills loves me and cares for me, to which I countered "Then why did you want to break up", and she responded saying our relationship made her suicidal, but during our relationship, she never once brought these concerns up with me or displayed any signs of being suicidal. Furthermore, she still acts like we are a couple, showing affection in public, wanting to cuddle, and just overall do couple things. However, I know this woman like the back of my hand, so I know how good she is at putting on an act. I went through her phone one day, yeah I know I shouldn't, and found her texting multiple guys, and even found evidence of her fcking another guy. I strategically, asked her questions about her dating life, as to avoid suspicion about going through her phone, and she told me that she was not seeing anyone else, and was not fooling around with anyone. I know this to straight-up lie, and I'm shocked that after spending so much time together that she would lie straight to my face, and it makes me question her motives and everything else she has told me. I've mentioned to her that we should probably take a break from each other and go no contact for at least 30 days, but every time I do she shuts that conversation down, as she doesn't want to lose me or something along those lines. I know I should stop talking to her, and hanging out with her, as I'm playing into her game, but I love her to death and just can't bring myself to do it. She was the first friend I made when moving to a new city, and I just can't see myself cutting her off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
&#x200B;
TLDR: Ex-girlfriend still acts like we are together, and is mentally toying with me. [author1] Litteraly wants to fuck around with guys while still having one to come home to and cuddle and have buy things for her just get her gone [author0] This was one of the first thoughts I had, but I put it on the backburner. I appreciate the advice, and it looks like I need to go this route.

[author0] Any STEM majors who also studied Humanities? For a long time, I wanted to be an artist. I would write and make comics, but because of the starving artist stereotype (and my family's income), I can only pursue this as a hobby.
I was encouraged to pursue a STEM major. I'm a decent college student, but I'm not really super passionate about the field. Don't get me wrong. I think its cool and all and making stuff is fun but I feel like I dont really dig into it like other students pursuing the same major. I wanted to get into media, art, and writing so I can do what I love, but now I feel like I made a mistake pursuing STEM and all im doing is pretending I love it.
does any feel the same way? is there anybody who was able to do both? [author1] I minored in a humanities topic to keep me sane. [author0] I'm doing that too. I really wanted to double major but there's literally no space because STEM [author1] I majored in bio, minored in chemistry and environmental ethics.

[author0] seriously been considering drug use. im not sure what to do about it hello!! im 15, f. Sorry for formatting, im on mobile
im severely depressed and have severe anxiety. i suffer from frequent bouts of depersonalization and derealization, i also am recovering from a Patellar Realignment surgery.
For the surgery i was given oxycodone for the pain. I have two pills left, all of them WERE taken solely for pain. i never took one recreationally, but god ive been considering it.
the derealization and depersonalization is getting so frequent and suffocating. i feel so miserable every night, i just want to forget i exist for a few hours, so, so badly. or find something to make it easier. My sisters a pothead (17) and shes offered me any of her weed stash and im struggling to not take it.
ive slways been against smoking when youre under age and your brain is still developing. I dont like that my sister does it (She started at my age) and has guilted me into hiding it for her for years; but thats sort of aside the point. basically i feel hypocritical as fuck for considering it.
But its a safer alternative to taking the oxy. i just want to be able to stop feeling like this. im so fucking desperate for an escape and it sounds so, so so so appealing. ive talked to my dad about it, my therapist, both urging me to make whatever choice i do while being as informed as i possibly can. My dad is very laid back, though he absolutely doesnt like my sister smoking weed, it isnt the weed thats the issue, its that shes underage. He gets high on occasion, edibles to help him sleep, so he isnt anti drug.
My therapist laid it out for me in the sense that to cope with situations, theres a 1-10 scale of solutions. 10, being suicide. 9, frequent self harm, 8, repetitive but not frequent self harm, so on and so on. She said drug use would be considered a self harm in this case. She says im at about a 6-7 on the scale, my coping being the dissociative bouts i suffer from. Ideally she wants me at a 4 or 5, but im far from capable of that right now.
I thought hearing that helped me but here i am again, just wanting something to stop it from hurting so bad. what should i do? im so lost. Do i actually go through with it?
I guess if it matters, i am on medications. Hydroxyzine for sleep, Effexor as an antidepressant. [author1] Do not start taking pain meds recreationally. You WILL ruin your life. It's a massive issue on a global scale that people dont hear enough about. If you do, there is a good chance you will spend the rest of your life attempting to quit, regretting that you ever started. [author0] i really dont plan to, the urge is whats killing me :(. the meds are in my dads room, i intentionally keep them there because i know i get like this often enough. my dad will be in there and will stop me if i even try to get them [author1] Good. It's pretty unbelievable how many people die every day from painkillers, we hear about people like Michael Jackson, and Tom Petty, but its young adults, mothers fathers, bankers, soccer coaches. Pain killer addiction starts with temptation, if it ends there everyone wins.

[author0] Alaska Camping Nursery [author1] That rug is adorable!! Where is it from? [author0] I got it from Target. It comes in different sizes and is made by Pillowfort. [Link](https://www.target.com/p/30-34-x48-34-triangle-shag-area-rug-pillowfort-8482/-/A-75455971)
I will say that the rug is one of the things we got rid of. It was super soft and cute, but our vacuum didn't work well on it because of the shag. It was frustrating and I wanted to vacuum often since baby is on the floor so much. We replaced it with this [rug](https://www.target.com/p/6-shapes-braided-round-area-rug-anji-mountain/-/A-53604510).

[author0] 4th shiny dracozolt and finally got the squares! Mission accomplished [author1] Mate..... how... [author1] I got over 2,000 for dracovish and I can’t find it in me to finish... [author0] I’ve done a ton of shiny fossils, prob 30k plus in revives easy - I got lucky with square dracovish on my second and didn’t really expect I would get one again but the persistence paid off I guess! My first dracozolt took 5k revives though so get through it and you’ll feel happy you did [author1] I wish I had your perseverance! Lol maybe I’ll give it another try. How long did it take you to get through 30k revives though? Are you using a turbo controller? And how many revives before reset? [author0] Yup turbocontroller made it pretty easy! All those revives were over spurts in the last couple months, recently I’ve spent prob like 6 total days on it and got a whole set including square dracovish and dracozolt [author1] You’re a beast man, congrats! 🎉 [author0] Thank you brother!

[author0] [Actives] here we go with the P.E's & Unmodded totes...after fooling with all different holes in different places with poly fiill and micropore tape , so far the sterile-lite totes with 4 blue clasps with the lid turned over and occasional spritz an fan have been the easiest....I will report back [author1] So you didn't put holes in this tote? It's not necessary? I'm confused lol help! I really, really want this first grow to go well. [author2] There are many methods when it comes to monotubs.
You could use polyfill stuffed holes in the tote for FAE and keep the lid on unless you need to mist, or go unmodified like OP and just flip the tote lid upside down creating a gap allowing FAE and misting when necessary.
The concept stays the same regardless; maintain high humidity, frequent air exchange and mist the substrate when necessary (at the most basic level).

[author0] People who remember when Bob Marley was alive, how big of a deal was he before he died? [author1] I was in high school in the US when he died, and that was basically the first time I had heard anyone talking about him.
His music wasn't that popular with anyone I knew, (other than stuff that other bands like the Stones covered), but after his death it became more popular. [author0] That is interesting! Wasn't the entire genre of reggae music popular at all or it was but he was just another reggae singer? [author2] I think at the time reggae was pretty popular/well known in the UK but not the US. The main people I've heard talk about it or say they were influenced by it at the time are British musicians (Paul McCartney, Sting, Clapton, etc)

[author0] PC Monitor under £450 Hi,
Hope you are all well and keeping safe as the world goes crazy. unfortunately im not blessed with great research skills, or hardware knowledge. Especially around displays.
It's time for me to upgrade from my 60hz monitors (ew, i know).
&#x200B;
I set myself a budget of £450, thanks to furlough.
144hz+ so 165 would be ideal,
1440p
IPS.
&#x200B;
Can anyone recommend a monitor, or a place to start looking. I've seen a few, but there all out of budget, am i going to stretch the budget a little further to get what i want?
&#x200B;

Thank you. [author1] I dont know what monitor to recommend but I feel like 450 is enough to get a very good one. [author0] Hopefully, i believe it falls in the between category, just short of elite, but more than enough for a great monitor, if that makes sense.

Regular peanuts and peanut butter aren't that good to me [author0] yeah, i can’t do reese’s, it sucks when we do family cookie baking because everyone else LOVES peanut butter [author1] Lol I get it, even when I do indulge in Reese's I'll get those chocolate lovers ones they sell now

[author0] Bowdoin vs. Notre Dame last minute (please read text) So, I just got off the Bowdoin waitlist. I am leaning towards Notre Dame, but I thought I should try to explore all my options in the (really short) 24 hours Bowdoin gave me to decide.
Cost is the same
Probably going to major in Environmental Science or some other hard science
**Notre Dame**
Pros:
The residence hall system!
I have a friend who just got off the waitlist here and it would be super fun to have her there if she can afford it
The community and the tradition is AMAZING, unparalleled anywhere, just seems like everyone loves
Name-brand school
Parents prefer it
Political variance, I like not just having a homogeneous belief
Perfect size
&#x200B;
Cons:
South Bend
Lack of outdoors activities
Not a ton of diversity
Same-sex dorms
Catholic (not a huge problem, I came from a catholic high school)
&#x200B;
**Bowdoin**
Pros:
Location!!!! Brunswick is so cool
Skiing/Hiking/Outing Club :)
Smaller community can be really good too
Probably grad school, and Bowdoin sends people to some great grad schools usually
Chill vibe
Really far is good too
Northeast culture
&#x200B;
Cons:
Small size?
I get the vibe it is very politically left, nothing wrong with that, I just like differing opinions
I live in Washington State soo.......really far
Not super well known
[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/gb7zmm) [author1] South Bend native here- ND is super cultish and there is a lack of diversity, I'm very surprised that you think there's more variety than Bowdoin. ND kids are super vanilla in my experience, which you may be used to coming from a Catholic high school, but I would not recommend SB as a location at all. [author2] That may have been true in the past, but I think they’ve been making great strides in recent years. I’ll be attending in the fall, and I’ve gotten to know a lot of my future classmates. There seems to be a decent amount of diversity in every sense of the word, and everyone is extremely supportive and accepting!

[author0] Private messages on the new website (not chat) Hi I'm new here
How can I open private messages on the new website? This morning I got a notification that I received a message and I could open the inbox through there but now the notification is not there anymore since I opened it and I am unable to get to my inbox in any way.
I can not open the old website since it automatically redirects me to the new website as soon as I log in (why is this a thing btw). Cant find literally any way of getting to my inbox from the new website. The message does not appear in the new chat thing, since it is a message.
While here I'd like to also point out that you can't check playcount on individual diffs in a mapset anymore and to check the names of people who faved a map you need to hover each individual avatar for like 2 seconds. [author1] Try this link https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox [author0] yes it worked thank you

[author0] Quarantine craziness, but partner (24M) cut my (27F) hair MUCH shorter than I'd told him to, and I'm so angry Ok. I don't know if it's the quarantine that is starting to take hold but something happened today and I don't know if I'm going crazy or if I'm justifiably angry. I thought I'd turn to the community that has curly hair initially, because I feel like they would know how I feel, but I can't manage to actually post this and in any case, this is more about the relationship than about the hair.
For context, I have mediterranean (?) curly hair, dark, curly, a 3c or so, tight curls mostly. In late 2016 I had grown it out to below shoulder length and decided to dye it at a hair salon. They Completely destroyed it. The damage was major, my curl pattern was destroyed and even today it's still more distended than it was previous to that fateful appointment.
Since then, I've been trying to grow it out and trimming frequently, and in the last year the ends have started looking healthy and I've managed to grow it out to below my Boobs! This is the longest it has been since, ever basically. And it's kind of important to me because my family didn't know how to handle or take care of curly hair, and at one point when I was 10 I was done with the painful and nightly detangling process and spraying with Nenuco perfume and chopped everything off to an awfully awkward above shoulder length bob. Ya kno, typical awkward head of hair that a lot of people with curly hair go through.
So yeah, I was pretty proud of it now. I also haven't let anyone touch my hair and have trimmed it myself throughout the years.
In parallel to this, I met this guy in 2017, we got together, and three years later here we are quarantined together. He was always confused about my cutting my own hair and refusing to go to salons, and throughout the years I (THOUGHT) I'd shown him how temperamental curly hair is and what it takes to take care of it. He always found it quirky and funny that I just did it myself but wtv. It was always kind of a joke that I was anal about it and don't go to hairdressers. He always urged me to go to salons. Little did I know you don't need enemies when you've got loved ones.
Flash forward to today.
I trimmed my hair today, as usual. I wash it and let it air dry. I'm not a hairdresser so it's uneven, which honestly has never really bothered me much, I think it fits with my style and it's also hard to tell when it's this curly and this long.
For context, my dude just bought himself a barber razor thing yesterday and cut his own hair because quarantine. He was very proud of it, I helped him out getting it even and it looks acceptable.
So now he looks at my hair cut and is like, oh, it looks uneven. With these newfound self-hair cutting skills my dude thinks he's a pro now and tells me, Let me fix it up for you. I'm like, ok cool, yeah if you trim the ends so at least those are straight that's super useful.
We go to the bathroom. He takes my hair in his hand and indicates like "this much". I see there's a bit of hair at the end, like one inch or so. Say yep, go ahead.
He has quite large hands, because he's a big dude.
The man cut above his hand. Not 1 inch, 5 inches.
I look to the hair that falls to the ground thinking "wait this is really long".
I look to his hand holding my fucking luscious locks, that he throws to the toilet.
I look in the mirror. My still humid hair is now barely below my shoulders. It's curly hair which means that it's going to dry and get another inch shorter. i.e. back to that awful youthful bob. This is 4 years of growth. It's shorter than when we met. Shorter than when I went to the hairdressers and got it destroyed.
I just. I don't know what to do. I'm just closed up in my room smoking a joint because I am so fucking pissed at him.
I know it's just hair, and it will grow back. But curly hair takes a loooooong time to grow back, especially mine.
I also feel like he was seriously out of line. It was in part a miscommunication - but HE was cutting MY hair, it was his responsibility to ensure that what he was doing was clear to me, because I would be the one suffering the consequences. It also just makes me angry, he's seen the entire process of growing it out. He knows that this fucking hair matters to me.
Ultimately I'm the stupid one for trusting him with this, but also... If you've never cut hair before, don't you want to make sure? Like you cut your hair once and you're suddenly the expert in hair cutting? It just feels so arrogant, and it's my hair goddamit, obviously to him it's just hair, but it makes no difference to him and it matters a fair bit to ME.
I just can't fathom what he was thinking that he wouldn't make sure that we'd understood each other, when he was the one taking the action on me. From his point of view, it's a miscommunication. And he just, doesn't. get. it. He was like, oh yeah it'll grow back in a few months. FUCK NO. I'll be fucking 30 by the time I manage to regrow it to the length it was. It honestly just makes me sad. It's stupid, but it does.
Sooo, any advice on how to handle this? If not, please let me know how the quarantine is going for you and don't get any stupid ideas about cutting anyone's hair lol. [author1] You’re the genius who asked a non barber to cut your hair. It takes a lot of audacity to get pissed at someone for your stupid ass decision. [author2] 1000000%

[author0] As seen on "Choosing Beggars" [author1] On one hand, I get you've killed it a bunch. And it's not like people weren't killing that on their first lock out back when it launched.
&#x200B;
On the other hand, I get any general pub wanting to avoid the annoyance of having people who can't even be bothered to level cap in their party for something that should be pretty simple [author2] Some folks might be back for the free login event and not own Shadowbringers.
Edit: was just clarifying that assuming they "can't be bothered" might not be the only reason they're not at 80. PF was open and the WAR was explicitly told "it's fine" that they were not level 80, but then got silently locked out anyways. [author1] Which is great! But that doesn't really change anything. Someone not playing for almost a full year who will be much harder to heal, deal much less DPS, and die much faster isn't the first person I want in my group.
&#x200B;
It's like how if I said I was trying to get together a Bird farm party and wanted a few other people to join and all that joined was some level 60s. I mean... yeah, sure; we COULD do it. But it'll be slower and we'll fail more often [author2] I think something that wasn't conveyed well in the image is that the WAR was able to join the PF and was told it was "all good" that they didn't have an 80, but then had the PF deleted from under them and reformed with an item level requirement they couldn't have.

[author0] GAME THREAD: CFL Draft [author1] Anyone know how much #1 overall get paid? [author2] Max is $80k for their first contract [author1] Thanks! Is that guaranteed or a signing bonus or what? Sorry, don’t usually pay much attention to CFL but I went to ECU and was happy to see Jordan Williams get drafted! [author2] I'm actually not sure if there's anything written into the CBA about caps on signing bonuses or anything, but $80k is the cap for the first two years of their contract. Every rookie contract is 2 years up here too. Salaries aren't huge in the CFL so that's the max a first or second round pick can make. It's designed to protect vets [author1] That checks out, I assume that’s $80k CAD? Lol [author2] Yes. CFL contracts are all paid in CAD [author1] Thought you might’ve been adjusting the dollar amount for me in your response since you new I was American, didn’t think they paid in USD just to be clear 😂
