[author0] People discouraging me to write my own fantasy adventure story My friends call it a fanfiction, it’s not, I just want to work on something I thought of that I’ve been thinking about since the 8th grade. I wrote a premise about a Hamlet inspired revenge story/short story and my writing professor assumed it was fanfiction. It felt discouraging. My family and friends assume that what I’m doing is a waste of time or stupid/weird. And it’s killing me. It’s a hobby it makes me feel alive and people shit on it before even reading what I want to write. Look I don’t want to shit on fanfiction. Writing is writing after all. Written work is part of a writer, so I understand that. But telling people my hobby of writing is like telling people I pick my nose they think it’s weird. It’s why I put it on the down low.
Im sorry for the rant. I love doing this thinking of the story and putting on my laptop. I just hate people hate on something they don’t understand.
Edit: Damn! I didn’t know this whole thing will blow up. Thank you so much you guys!! I’m going to come back to reddit to show my premise. My family though skeptical are supportive of what I’m doing. It’s mostly the people outside that bubble. But nevertheless you guys made feel much better! Thank you so much!😊 [author1] Most people don't read so this kind of response is not surprising. Somone will like it. [author0] Thank you! That makes me feel better :)

[author0] How do you guys reconcile neoliberalism with history? Capitalism has show repeatedly that it will cause income inequality and economic instability, whether you consider the Great Depression, the 3 crashes in the last 20 years, or the fact that real wages have remained stagnant since the 1970s despite rising productivity. How can you pursue or champion a philosophy that justifies this system as the end-all be-all knowing the harm it causes? Or are you just cheerleading Democrats because they’re not as far right as Republicans (not to say that’s unreasonable)? [author1] Why do you think [conclusion] since, as we all know, [assumption].
We don’t. [Assumption] is completely groundless
This seems to be a reoccurring script from leftist submissions here. [author0] I looked at the data. How do you explain the problems I mentioned? Do you acknowledge they’re problems to begin with?
What makes that assumption groundless to you? [author1] Obviously haven’t looked at any of the data given to you in this very thread friendo.
[X] doubt [author0] I just want insight into your personal view on this problem. It’s getting hard to look the other way these days.

[author0] Level 80 Botanist/Miner/Fisher selling materials Hey there, I've got a level 80 BTN/MIN/FSH as well as a level 80 weaver. I want to get all my DoH up to level 80 but the cost to do so just isnt in my budget right now. I'm also wanting a plot at some point so I was wondering what materials I (BTN and MIN preferably) should get that sell pretty well? I know it depends on data centre and world but on average what kind of thing should I be trying to get in order to sell on the market? [author1] Getting a crafter up to 50 is very easy, especially since you have one crafter maxed. Get a Commercial Engineering manual with yellow scrips, and then quicksynth recipes with all vendor mats. For example, Blacksmith starts with Bronze Ingot to 11, Iron Ingot to 21, Steel Ingot to 30, then random dye pigments from the marketboard. The total cost should be less than 50k. The time required is also very short, since quicksynth speed was increased in 5.0. [author0] All my crafters are 60 at least rn. I was levelling them in increments of 10 but then decided to get at least one 80 first in order to make money. [author1] In that case, you should at least do daily grand company turn-ins. The reward was increased drastically with 5.1.
-
As for making money, the best way to make money is to not compete with other sellers. Go through all the categories on the marketboard for items that have very few listings and sell those. Break down the component cost of the items and gather the expensive components yourself. Buy the cheap components from the marketboard. It's better to have one listing of twenty different items with no seller than to try and compete with one other person on an expensive item.
-
Always HQ items whenever possible. Since you're not 80 on every crafter yet, there is a slight time cost, but it should be negligible on any recipes below 50.

[author0] Guy asked if I was trans? So met this 22yr old guy on Tinder about two weeks ago. We talked since and thought he was at least a decent person. We met once and I noticed how he was a bit aggressive. I also noted how his ex seemed to stalk my page after he followed me on Insta. So yesterday, as we were casually chatting, he asked "You trans?" and he was being serious. When I asked why he would even ask that, he said that he's seen some things and just wanted to know. Mind you, this guy has been pressuring for sex shocked so I was admittedly shocked. He apologized twice, but I blocked him on all my social media sites and unmatched him. He then called me today and texted me...I didn't answer. I am still in shocked. I am 22F btw. [author1] In this era, it's a valid question. I don't think it was an insult. [author2] Yeah. There are trans people who don't think they need to tell people they're trans even when they're dating or being physical with someone. They think that's their personal business, and they will disclose it when they feel like it. Sounds like this guy was being cautious.
As far as it not being an insult, eh. It's not a compliment. The guy is basically asking you if you're biologically male, which sounds like "I think you look or sound somewhat like a guy". [author0] It's insulting because when we met, he even touched/saw my private and my chest. So that was a stupid question to ask. [author3] That can all be fixed with surgery though. [author0] Lmao literally get my period next week. I told him that. Plus I’m Nigerian. It’s a taboo in our community. [author0] Whatever. I’m glad I’m cut him off because he was already demands for sex. And telling me how he wanted it down there. [author3] Sure, totoally agree. Pressuring for sex is a douchebag move and he sounded like a jerk. But asking if your trans is kinda normal these days if you're unsure. Besides the period, all the other stuff can be faked or lied about.

[author0] Anyone's surface pro pen not capturing all strokes? [author1] 2 reasons I've seen that happen.
1) battery at end of life
2) background process interruption. (Do you have any other software open, or items in your system tray?)
Battery you can diagnose if you have it connected by Bluetooth. The background process is a little trickier.
Check your startup items in the task manager. Anything listed you don't need? Then unchecked them and reset.
Full shutdown your device by holding the 'Shift' button when mouse clicking the "Shut Down" option in the start menu. (Unit actually takes a few more seconds to shut down after screen goes black)
Disable "Fast Startup" (Google it)
Switch to "best performance" power mode
(Without it, my device pen lags in Photoshop)
If you're connected to the Internet, that also could cause glitching (does for me), try disabling WiFi
One of those will solve your issue. [author2] Ill add a third for this. If youre using a third party charger the way the charger might be delivering power to the device while you're using it can effect the touch screen thats is trying to balance your hand resting on the screen and the input from the pen.
Source: Electronics Engineering student with a surface. [author3] imma add a 4th. The tip is broken with mine. sometimes it doesn't register strokes, some other other times it misaligned with cursor and sometimes straight line became squiggly. I have tried multiple tips and I have no idea what happened.
I also did try to calibrate the pen. Worked for about a few hours [author2] What pen generation do you have? [author3] latest one before the slim pen [author2] I think you can take the tip end of the pen off still with that one. Im just guessing here but MAYBE when the last one broke off it left an extra piece stuck at the base where the tip goes in thats throwing off the pressure sensor in the pen? Again just a guess and if you try to take the pen apart I recommend taping it with like electrical tape first and using pliers so you dont damage it cosmetically.
Good luck

[author0] Neighbors requesting dog sitting Hi. When my husband and I moved into our home we were excited to meet a couple, younger than us, who has become decent friends of ours. We occasional go out to eat and go over to each others home. We have two dogs and they have 4 dogs. I can't remeber how or when but it seemed real quick that "Hey, can you watch our dogs"? came up and "will treat you to dinner" and we of coarse thought "same here". At first when we would watch their dogs they treated us to meals out on the town. They would also notify us ahead of time when they needed us to watch their dogs. But last couple of times we dont get a notice, its been last minute and they hadnt treated us out. The most recent was when the wife went into labor (a week early) the husband called me, didnt get me, called my husband and husband agreed to watch them on behalf. I was somewhat annoyed but was like "okay whatever". Well 2 days go by and I ask how long are we suppose to watch their dogs and since they have family here why isnt family etc. Esp since this COVID 19. They come home after 3 days and invited us over a few days later to a cooked dinner. It was not good but tried I suppose. They have only watched our dogs twice which we treated to dinner once and I gave money the second time. I really dont think i mind watching their dogs or anyone's as long as the dogs are good and the owners are respectful. Last year it seemed we were watching there dogs ALOT. And on top of that we never got appropriate times as to when they would be returning home. So my question is 1. What is a reasonable amount of times a person should watch someone animal within a year 2. If I want to try and back off watching someones animal how should I frame a No! Or 3. Should I just say No and act like I have plans until they hopefully get the hint? Also with new baby I suspect we will be asked alot. [author1] I had a friend who started doing this with babysitting her kid. One time it was for 3 days and 2 nights, as she had some court case across the country. Her parents were suing her! Should’ve been a red flag. Anyways, they never reciprocated with us, ever. So I let her know straight-up that we were no longer available to do babysitting.
She got super pissed off, “but I already made overnight plans for our anniversary next month.” Uh, well, you never even asked if we would be available. And now I’m telling you we’re not available. Still plenty of time to find someone thru care.com, right?
Anyways, she decided we shouldn’t be friends after that. You might find the same with your neighbors. Suggest “Rover,” we’ve used that service a few times and it works out well. [author0] Yeah, there will be def be no free babysitting your kid. They got family here that can watch theirs if they meed one. We also have places locally that lodge dogs when people go out of town. I'll try and see if I can suggest that sometime. Thanks.

[author0] AITA for telling my black girlfriend she can't be upset at my grandma's racism? A couple days ago I set up a call to my grandma with dementia, who is in a care home, when I was told she was having a lucid day. I told my girlfriend, who lives with me, about it. She has never met my grandma.
She got really excited about the call and wanted to talk to her and meet her. She knows that my grandma has dementia and has made racist comments as a result. I want to make it clear that my grandma, as her true self, is not racist. She grew up in the deep south with deeply racist parents. As an adult she escaped that life and became very progressive. As I knew her, she loved everyone and was loved by everyone. Her dementia has caused her to regress to her childhood and as a result, she spews a lot of racism.
My girlfriend knows all this already. I warned her again that my grandma has no control over this and if she regressed as I was speaking to her and saw my girlfriend, something would be said. My girlfriend accepted this and told me repeatedly not to worry, and that she wouldn't be offended.
I took her word for it and let her on the call. The call was great for about 10 minutes, my grandma was lovely to my girlfriend and was so happy to see me with her. Unfortunately, she had a regression and blanked out for a moment. When I asked her if she was ok she started to get really upset and confused. In this case I think seeing us on the screen scared her and her nurses started to take her away to calm her. We heard her start whimpering and saying "A dirty n-word's looking at me, its gonna hurt me" over and over again.
I turned it off and told my girlfriend "That sucked". I was pretty surprised when my girlfriend burst into tears and ran off. I went and asked her what was wrong and she told me that she was disgusted and horrified by my grandmother.
I was pretty pissed. I basically reminded her that she was warned of what it would be like and she had told me over and over that it was ok and not to worry. She just said she didn't think it would be that bad, which is bullshit because I told her examples of what my grandmother had been reported to have said to the black staff at the care home. It wasn't all that different then what she had said about my girlfriend.
We argued for a bit, her saying that she had a right to be upset and me saying that it was selfish of her to make it about herself. Seeing my grandma like that breaks my heart and I was also upset at the call turning out that way but she didn't comfort me at all or even asked me how I felt about it.
We made up the next day but she still insists that I was a dick and she has forgiven me rather then she reacted unfairly and I have forgiven her.
I know its petty but I would like to know what a third party thinks.. so AITA?
TLDR: Grandma with dementia says racist things to black girlfriend, girlfriend get upset even though she was warned that something might be said, AITA for being mad about that?
EDIT: All my comments have been downvoted, even the ones when I admit I am wrong. I do agree that I should have kept a leveller head and comforted her first. I can accept that makes me an asshole. I don't accept all the people here who make pain a competition that can be won. I truly believe that its because many commenters here have experienced racism and know the pain. Not many commentators are knowledgeable about dementia or the effect it has seeing someone who is like a mother to you, who you have loved and looked up to your entire life, become unrecognisable and hateful and abusive. A big fuck you to the person who said boo hoo to my grandmothers situation.
EDIT 2: "You’re a cancer and I hope you and your grandma die a horrible death" is my most recent PM.
EDIT 3: If you are going to comment YTA with the reasons: that I should have defended my girlfriend, that my grandma is actually a closet racist, that I am a racist (despite loving and dating a beautiful black woman for 2 years), that dementia isnt an excuse...You are an idiot/child/troll and your opinion is meaningless to me.
EDIT 4: Thank you to those who PMed me kindness and fuck you to those who PMed me hateful vitriol that they are to scared to post in the comments
FINAL EDIT: I woke up this morning to being absolutely overwhelmed with messages and comments. I just want to say thank you to those who PMed me, I cant reply to you all. The ruling is pretty split, a lot of PMs and comments saying NTA and a lot of comments saying YTA. I am going to talk to my girlfriend and show her this thread later today. MY biggest realisation in this post is that her opinion is the only one that matters. She knows her own feelings and can explain them to me. I would say I Am the Asshole to myself for posting here when I should have talked to her. [author1] NTA
While it's a sad situation, you sound like you spent a fair bit of time warning your friend that this might / could / would happen, and she agreed to be involved. Now she's cracking up over it? No. [author2] Honestly I have sympathy for his girlfriend. She thought she was tougher than she is. That doesn't mean she's an asshole.
There's also a difference in expecting hatred but receiving fear. It sounds like grandma was genuinely scared of her. It's not something you intuitively expect when you think racism. I'd say NAH if it wasn't for her insisting his grandma is disgusting even the next day when she's had time to process it. It's that old mentality that is disgusting, not the woman who is trapped in memories out of her control.

[author0] If only I could go back and grab them for these prices. [author1] God this brings back memories. FunCoLand was my first job ever. I didn't last long 17 year old me was not smart.
Ironically I was working there when this ad came out. God I feel old [author2] I still drive by a location from time to time, that was a Funco back in the day.... i stare at the place every time, on one hand hoping it would come back and the other just remembering the games i bought there. [author1] The location I worked at is now a Gamestop. Looks completely different inside. What was amusing is the mall it is right next to used to have a Babbages inside, now, a gamestop.
I wish I had a chance to go back. They have a freebie/promo drawer of extra pre-order stuff and swag. I had so much stuff that young me did not keep. And to have half the games I spent my paychecks on.
One thing I remember is someone coming in to trade in DragonBall GT Final Bout for PS1. At the time only, I believe, 10k copies existed. (It was re-released a few years later) guy got 85 bucks cash for it. Blew my mind because the local blockbuster had a copy they sold for 3 bucks. [author3] I remember the same thing. I remember finding the game and playing it. When I told my friends then everyone started renting It lol. I wish I would have “lost” that copy. They did re-release the game but the cover art is different.

[author0] What seemingly mundane topic causes the biggest arguments in your house? [author1] We listen to vinyl pretty much exclusively all the time. We have over 4000 records. The turntable is on an old 70s wooden thing that has space for about 100 records underneath, that's our "float". We listen to a record, throw it under there. Once in awhile when the float is full, we put allllllll the records back. When I say we, I mean me. For 25 years
Recently I thought "I'm not putting any of her stuff away, just mine". When she ran out of room, she just started piling them ON A SPEAKER [author2] Nope. I'm throwing the shit on the speakers away. [author1] Haha NO WE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE WE'RE NOT SAVAGES (my wife would say that's only a slight exaggeration) [author2] I would reply with we can find out just how much it's an exaggeration by counting records get put away in the trash. [author1] That's why we're not married, DustyGaming. [author2] Yeah maybe. But probably has more to do with us having only exchanged 5 sentences. [author1] Send nudez [author2] Well this escalated quickly. We're only 7 sentences in.

American Original 60's Jazzmaster + my first guitar pedals ever.
I see the Jazzmaster Vintera's in ice blue metallic but haven't seen an American Original one...and my paranoia is getting the best of me. How can I tell they didn't slap an American Original sticker on a Vintera and sell it to me? The serial number from Fender says it is what it is, but maybe there's a way just by looking at it and you know which variant it is? Any help is appreciated :) [author1] That’s an American Original man, rest assured. The binding on the neck, the witch hat knobs, the case, the AVRI trem(Vintera has screw in) all say American Original. Great guitar man, enjoy. [author0] Thanks so much, man. Helps to have a guru officially diagnose it. And to now know what to eyeball for future Jazzmasters, should I find some vintage one somewhere. Thanks a lot, brother. Really helped a rookie out.

[author0] Need to go on Insulin - Still waiting on Insurance to Approve - A Rant Just need to rant. My doc called in insulin yesterday morning because my fasting numbers are ridiculous. My insurance hasn't approved the request yet. I don't get "prior authorizations". Obviously I need it, otherwise, it wouldn't have been sent in. My OB was awesome enough to send in two prescriptions in hopes one would get covered.
Today I did call the pharmacy to see what's up. They said to call my OB. Called my OB, they said they haven't received anything from the insurance and to call insurance. I called insurance and they said they had sent it over and I need to call my OB to see where they are in the process. I said they never received it as I already called and they gave me a phone number for my OB to call to get it approved. By the time I got off the phone with insurance, it was too late to call the OB and I was crying and too frustrated.
It's definitely my job to take care of my health, but it should not be this hard to get my prescription filled.
UPDATE: My perinatologist’s nurse is the best. She deserves a pay raise. She called my pharmacy and told them she put a note saying they could fill the generic if the main brand wasn’t covered when the script was originally sent over. The pharmacy apologized and is getting the script filled today. [author1] I'm so sorry this is happening. You didn't do anything wrong but let it out. You are doing your best. Its awful that they are making you do all the calls. I had to do similar footwork just to get a refill of strips, so I feel your pain. You got this. You will make it happen. Just let yourself feel the frustration and turn it into power. [author0] Thanks for reading and understanding my frustration. I’m going to need a refill on my test strips soon and I’m already dreading having to go through this again. Thankfully, my mother has the same meter and uses it once a week (she was able to reverse type 2 with healthy eating and exercise). She has a whole bunch of extra strips that I can just take.

[author0] Angled Grip for Ash Does the G36C having angled Grip and ACOG make it on par with the R4-C? Also I personally prefer Holo sight over many others, although ACOG is a close second. If I wanted to use the G36C, if I attached just the angled Grip and used holo, would it make it a good competitor for the R4? Or is ACOG a no brainier? [author1] In my opinion, if you're gonna use a holo, use the R4C. I do use the G36 sometimes with acog, though. Shaiiko has used the G36 with holo in pro games before though. [author0] do you know if he was running angled or vertical? [author1] Angled. It doesn't have any recoil anyways. I use angled too [author2] He did this to wide swing more effectively when unadsd I think. It was after they changed the ADS times to make them longer in the last season and it was much harder to wide swing with the R4c as it took so long to ads.

[author0] New here, Xbox One S question I want to ask you guys about wether it's possible to play COD Mobile on a console like Xbox One S, the same way you can on a PC.
I know you can connect the controller to your smartphone and play like that, but I was curious to know if it's possible to play it on Xbox like it is possible to play it on PC.
Thanks and best of luck in the qualifiers for the World Championship!
P.S.
I didn't make it, maybe next time.
Have a good one. [author1] Not possible. It’s a mobile version for a reason (since there are countless of different versions of cod out there.
Possible through emulators though, which is against the rules. [author0] I am not talking about the tournament. It's a general question.
On PC they play with emulators, and no one is banned or anything, they team you up and against other emulator using players.
Even if you play on mobile with a Xbox Controller they team you up and against other PC or Controller using players. [author1] I’m not talking about the tournament either?
And oh, it used to be against the rules afaik. But yeah, my previous comment still answers your question. Activision teamed up with Tencent. Tencent does not create console games. They also would have to code the entire game from scratch, since it’s a lot different on console. So again, no.

[author0] Tim Cook expects iPhone SE to attract Android users, ‘it’s faster than the fastest Android phones’ [author1] But wait... I thought it wasn’t about specs, but experience? That’s what Apple users always told me when the iPhone didn’t have better specs than Android phone X.
I’ve used Android. It’s fine. There are a lot of things I prefer compared to iOS. I suspect I’m not alone there, meaning that people who are into Android are probably not going to move to iOS, no matter how good the SE might be. [author2] It’s not about specs for us. He specifically mentioned it’s faster than android phones because he is selling it to the segment of the android market who purchases phones based on specs. [author3] > he is selling it to the segment of the android market who purchases phones based on specs.
Not with that battery hes not.
I don't see why people are hyping up the fact this has a super fast processor when the small battery wont let you run it at peek speed with out killing its battery life.
I ordered the Iphone se 2 for my daughter not because it has a a13 but because of its price and she wanted an Iphone.
As an android user there is no way i will be looking at this phone. [author4] The battery is indeed small, and I wished Apple added larger batteries for sure. However, when comparing with Android phones you have to factor in that (1) for normal usage iOS is a LOT more power efficient than Android because it is built with native code rather than Java, (2) the processor is much more efficient, and (3) the screen is smaller than most Android phones. You can't just look at the 1800 mAh battery and compare it to a 5.5" Android phone with a 3000 mAh battery and claim the battery is tiny - the 1800 mAh battery in the iPhone SE will last as long as a 3000 mAh battery in a big Android phone, and charge back up much faster to boot.
That said, I would kill for an iPhone with a 4.7" form factor and a huge battery. [author5] Chances are it's more efficient because it has a smaller code base. Android being built on Java doesn't have much to do with not being Native code, considering it would be because of the OS. [author4] Sure it does, Java compiles down to java byte code which is not directly executable by the machine. Java needs an extra layer to convert the code to machine code: the JVM. This layer is not necessary for languages that directly compile to native code. This is a very similar problem that Javascript has. While this JITing of code *can* result in code that has similar performance to that of native code, the overhead of JITing still costs you processor cycles which means it drains your battery.
Java also has a bunch of overheads that C++ does not, such as the garbage collector, that introduce extra battery drain. Java best practices such as factory patterns and many virtual function calls also introduce slowness that is usually avoided in C++, and slowness generally equals more time that needs to be spend on the CPU.
Android is likely also more bloated than iOS, but the usage of Java certainly adds to the problems there. Not to mention the fact that Java also results in challenges with managing memory usage of applications because of the unpredictability of the garbage collector. [author5] Sure, it could be faster but considering the ART optimizations to reduce this overhead and manage garbage collection over years, it's not that bad anymore, considering you can implement C libraries directly into the code. ART already compiles apps to native code before they are even launched, so this isn't much of an issue for apps regardless, so the system doesn't actually deal with bytecode when running apps.
Optimizations such as these have reduced the difference in speed between java and c to as low as 3 percent, and that's talking about Android 6, I don't know what the numbers are on 10, but it should be significantly lower for high intensive apps, which google recomends be written in the NDK, which uses C code directly AFAIK. [author4] Java has improved over the years, but recent benchmarks still consider Java to be around 10~50% slower than C++ for actual real world applications (i.e. not simple numeric loops). That directly translates to a 10~50% higher battery drain.
It's also not just about what is theoretically possible, but about what people are actually doing and what the library/language encourages. In C++ you would never allocate an object on the heap that holds only a single integer, but in Java you would use the Integer class. In C++ you would not allocate tiny structs on the heap and pass them by reference everywhere, but in Java this happens all over the place. The language encourages writing tons of boilerplate code, that is typically even generated by the IDE. But all that boilerplate code does have a cost.
Sure, you can use C with the JNI. Then you would indeed get native language performance. But then you are also just not writing Java anymore. As far as I know big chunks of Android and most applications for it are still written in Java, besides the Linux base obviously, and all of those parts suffer from the battery drain of Java.

[author0] Song Discussion - Week 29: Secret Door (Humbug)
Alright we’re finally getting into the real meat of the album. ‘Secret Door’ is one of those many AM songs that probably falls under most people’s “took me a while but this song has grown on me” list. I know it’s on mine. The song kinda reels back in that mysterious, atmospheric sound Humbug is mostly know for, more than the previous track that sorta deviated from that tone. After that intro bit into the first verse, immediately the signature bass styles and atmospheric drumming introduce themselves as a Humbug staple. As far as lyrics, these are perhaps some of Alex’s most profound up to this point. I’d just like to dive into the band’s songs dealing with fame for a minute. For a group that was so outspoken about their resentment towards the media and celebrity culture, the way Alex kinda opens up about how he feels about it in song is a very interesting topic. You can definitely pick out the songs that deal with that theme, and I think it’s important in understanding how AM goes about their business. ‘Secret Door’ seemingly references Alex’s relationship with Alexa, regarding how they can escape with one another into more intimate settings, getting away from those moments where fame can almost become a chore. I don’t know, it’s really quite an interesting song from a lyrical standpoint that opens up Alex’s thoughts quite vividly when he otherwise can’t seem to properly formulate a sentence on the spot.
A few ideas to jumpstart discussion. Talk on what your first impressions of the song were and what you think of it now. Share a fond memory of the song you may have. Link your favorite performance of the song. Discuss instrumentation or lyricism you may like or dislike. Bounce thoughts and ideas off one another whether its something your agree or disagree with, it all makes for better discussion! Keep it civil and remember the sub rules. Above all, have fun!

###**LYRICS**
*Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
She’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares*
*She swam out of tonight’s phantasm, grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There’s absolutely nothing for us here.
It’s a magnolia celebration to be attended on a Wednesday night
It’s better that than get a reputation as a miserable little tyke
At least that’s the conclusion she came to in their overture.*
*The secret door swings behind us,
She’s saying nothing, she’s just giggling along*
*Her arms were folded most indignant not looking like she was soon to leave,
I had to squint in order to believe.
Like a butler pushing on a bookshelf and unveiling the unexpected
I who was earlier reluctant was suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?*
*The secret door swings behind us,
She’s saying nothing, she’s just giggling along
Even if they were to find us, I wouldn’t notice,
I’m completely occupied
As all the Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
She’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares.
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about
To make a gaze turn to a scribble on a page by a picture that holds her absence
but you’re daft to think she’d care*
*Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade conduct a sing-along* [author1] Whole song is seriously insane. Drumming on point, what a chord progression and that vocal melody may be the best melody in any AM song honestly. I'd call this my favourite Humbug song but The Jeweller's Hands exists... fantastic song nonetheless. [author2] My top 2 Humbug songs too.

[author0] Is anyone else sketchy of Allie? From the first time I watched it, I assumed Allie would turn out to be a villain. She pointed out herself that she knew she wouldn’t be a heroine in the story. When they first got back and Cassandra was missing her medicine for a good day or so? I always thought it was weird that Allie would take Cassandra’s medicine and conveniently not mention she had the medicine in her bag. When Cassandra was shot I fully suspected Allie. I love her character and she seems like she’s trying to do the right thing at times, but I feel like there’s something hidden there. When Sam was telling the group about Campbell being a sociopath, is looks as if Allies interested in a way that she recognized something similar in herself. Maybe I’m overthinking it, who knows. I just think there’s more to her than what we have seen so far. I think it would be an interesting twist. [author1] Rewatching it, which I rarely do. I believe Allie definitely killed her sister. She was jealous and infuriated. Her sister held her back and she was always in her shadow. [author2] there’s literally no way I’m sorry. I know it’s fun to theorize that Dewey didn’t kill Cassandra but it makes no sense otherwise. Dewey confessed to killing her to Harry first. And before they were gonna shoot him, he begged for forgiveness for killing her. He didn’t beg them not to do it because he was innocent. [author3] Also Allie straight up goes "oh shit I packed your meds because I thought you forgot them" if she wanted to kill her sister the moment was right then. [author1] I don’t think her plot was to kill her sister the whole time.

[author0] Any long-term ramifications for siding with a specific faction? (role playing wise) So my character has always roleplayed as a raider and I was planning on siding with the raiders and maxing out their rep first and ignoring the settlers for a while (cos they're massive dweebs) Problem is I've just found out the Gauss Shotgun and Gauntlet are Settler rep rewards and I'm a shotgun/melee build. I've already got a sizable headstart on raider rep and the thought of doing that goon Ward's daily for settler rep makes me want to quit the game. So it looks like I'll have to side with the settlers in the main quest for rep.
So a) does siding with a specific faction for the main quest get you a sizable amount of rep?
b) are there permanent dialogue changes in how your character is addressed afterward depending on who you sided with? I don't want to ruin my characters role as a raider. [author1] you're still going to have to do settler dailies. The rep gain from the vault only runs you up to Friendly. You still have to make it through Neighborly all the way up to Ally.
The vault raid is a significant rep boost, though. [author0] Thank you, yeah I realize I'm still going to have to deal with Ward some, just want yo lessen the amount of times I have to do the daily. Any info if you are addressed differently by the two factions depending on who you side with? And are there any other exclusive rewards like outfits etc? [author1] Uhhh... I don't pay that much attention to how they address you. I do know the raiders are still pissed at me for running the raid with them then keeping all the gold, though :D
So yes, there's definetly some unique dialog, I just don't know how much.
You do get a unique outfit+headgear per side, but they're tradeable with other players.
Also you get the Slug Buster 3star plasma rifle if you raid it with Crater. I don't think you can get it with Foundation. [author0] OK, thanks a lot. Looks like I might just do it with the raiders and just grind through the settler rep over time.

[author0] Huge favor needed. Yeah, so
Thank you for taking your time reading.
So my brother is 25M. 3 or 4 years back he told his parents that he " isn't feeling manly and feels very repulsive looking at himself as a male" so he told that he wants to change his gender to F. This obviously shocked the whole family and we arr very worried for him..he is very stubborn about this decision and wants to get a sex change. I have never seen any female qualities or body language, Never ever!
Do you think that he is a transgender or is it psychological?
Has someone Influenced him or has porn induced him?
Please reply
We are very very worried. [author1] Hey, it sounds like you're pretty confused about trans and gay people in general. There's a lot of information out there, both true and false, which can definitely be overwhelming, so it's understandable. First up in response to a comment you posted - no, gay people do not transition to please their partner, that is a myth. It is of course possible that people are forced into it, but very rarely, the vast majority of trans people transition (physically and/or socially) because they need to in order to be comfortable in themselves.
Transgender people are all different, so express themselves in different ways. Sure, some do show 'signs' at about 14, though many more also do at age 4, 10, 17, 24, 40 - any age. It is entirely possible for someone to be a transgender woman but not particularly stereotypically feminine (or vice versa), or to put a lot of effort into hiding these traits and appearing masculine in order to fit in socially. This could be what your sibling is doing.
I think it would be a good idea for you to continue doing research - seek out articles, blogs, posts and videos created by people who are transgender, as you will find that they have the most accurate information about it, though many trans people have different opinions and experiences, so make sure you're getting a range of viewpoints from many different people. If your sibling is comfortable with talking about this, try to have conversations about how she feels and if she has thoughts on why she feels this way - what being transgender means for her, and what she wants the outcome to be, as well as things like what pronouns and name she wants to use. It is definitely possible that she is confused herself, and not actually trans, however it is much more likely that she is in fact trans, and she has been hiding it, or that none of you have noticed any 'signs' because they were subtle, or because you weren't looking for them. Trans people often do not behave in stereotypical ways, but that doesn't make anyone any less trans.
I hope that helps at least a bit, and wish you all the best of luck going forward :) [author0] Thank you sooo much!
I read articles that states that a lot of porn can cause this.
I know for sure he was a huge porn addict.
What do you say about that? [author1] I say check the article source. Were they published by a website or other source who support trans and other lgbtq people, or by people who generally claim that is is not natural, bad, undesirable or a choice, and what sources are they using - where did they get this information stating that porn is a factor? I am aware of no legitimate studies that suggest porn is a significant factor that influences people's need or desire to transition, however I am aware of a lot of research that keeps coming to the conclusion that transgender people are born this way, and that it has a number of possible biological causes. I suspect that for some people there are also social factors, however I do not believe that porn is a factor to take seriously. This sounds like something said to discredit trans people, and spread the myth that is is a sexual fetish, or perverse (being trans is neither, it is natural and unavoidable).
I myself am transgender, and began physically transitioning in my early 20s without having ever watched any porn. I am now much more comfortable and happier with myself and my life, and honestly believe that the depression and stress caused by dysphoria (the constant feeling of my body being wrong, due to having the wrong parts and features, combined with being treated as the wring gender by most people I came into contact with) would have led me to suicide by now of I had not transitioned. Not everyone feels it as badly as that, but many do, and many do commit suicide because of it, and because of lack of support.

[author0] Giving toddler meds So my son is 18 months and has a vaccine related fever. The two doses of baby panadol we gave, his morning and this evening, he brought it back up with everything he ate. How do I administer his meds and get him to keep it down? Should I attempt to give him another dose? His temp is high despite the fan therapy and constant baths and I'm getting worried [author1] If he’ll drink juice out of a sippy cup melt a similar flavor of popsicle till it’s slushy consistency and add the medicine in. A little additional crushed ice would be helpful in making sure the majority of liquid consumed is medicine. Also, ask your pharmacist if they carry Tylenol/Motrin suppositories. [author0] Ok. We will get some popsicles tomorrow. Everywhere is closed because of the covid pandemic so we have to wait till morning

[author0] The Case for Levelless Spells [author1] An excellent example of system that already use this mechanic:
* HARP
A shame fighting mechanics were so boring (i.e. fighters have one option.. " I attack it") [author0] HARP's power points, which correct me if I'm wrong, are used to modify the range, power, radius, duration of the base spell. If I have that right then that would actually provide more control for the caster than I'm proposing. It's almost more scientific than typical leveled spells. [author1] no you nailed it pretty well..
I was referring more to the layout and structure of acquiring and learning spells. and advancing your own ability in a spell.
In order to get those powerpoints you had to invest is a) more power points and B) more ranks in that spell

[author0] Anyone else experiencing terrible matchmaking times after most recent update? Live in the US and can’t seem to join a regular multiplayer match. it is taking forever. my ping is maxed at 200 and i’m getting flustered. is there a fix? i’m on xbox. just curious to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. [author1] Noticed it last night. I’ve never gotten into a match with over 100 ping. Me and my friend always have like 20-30 ping. Every match. I’ve been getting a lot of 100 ping matches since update. Usually when I sit in queue for too long. Once the ping goes up when I’m searching, I just back out and requeue. That helped me out a little last night [author2] They fucked it up when they reduced the player count from 5 v 5 instead of regular 6 v 6 (I am talking about Shoot the Ship). Asssholes at infinity wart games are too slow everyone is camping their asses off.

He was killed and lost all his stuff except his eternal glory, but he didn't get any notification that he was in a BH world since it was his home world (319) when you switch worlds you get a notification but if you have it set as your home world and log in for the first time you don't get the warning.
&#x200B;
Jagex mods idk if this was an oversight on your part but this doesn't seem like this should be a thing? He doesn't have reddit so I posted on behalf of him.
&#x200B;
TLDR: Be careful if your home world is turned into a bounty hunter world. YOU WILL NOT GET A WARNING THAT YOU ARE ENTERING IT. ONLY IF YOU SWITCH. [author1] What does being in a bh world have to do with dying in the wilderness? [author2] Don't you get skulled in BH? [author0] Yes, but 319 was not a BH world yesterday, he got home from work and has been doing wild altar for the extra xp. But did not get that warning that it was now a BH world. This post isn't a "give his stuff back" its more of information to others so they don't lose money. [author3] Probably got smacked with the telle to target shit too

[author0] Advice on workplace bullying in sg I thought I had gotten my dream job. But in a span of over 7 months, my manager has belittled me and made derogatory comments consistently. I traced and documented back the interactions and it has been a regular occurrence each month.
I only started to see and accept the severe impact it has on my mental health recently- I actually fear work, and I struggle with anxiety and mild depression. Coupled it up with low morale and loss of confidence, I reached one of my lowest point. I’m seeking help from a therapist to cope with this.
Could anyone be able to advise me on what I can do, and how I can stand up for myself? I feel very paralysed by the whole ordeal.
Would anyone in the HR field, or anyone who has gone through this before and taken action be able to advise and share? (Based on sg’s laws for workplace bullying?) [author1] I managed to get the abusive manager ‘transferred’ but she knows the new manager that replaced her and was still able to make my life difficult. What was worst was that she is now very vindictive, goes out of her way to make my life very difficult, painting the picture that I am a liar.
HR always give me the ‘it’s you again’ look when I went to plead my case. It’s bad. These managers who have been around for awhile knows each another, will always back each another up. [author0] That a lot of courage from you to go straight to HR and to report such bullying behavior and I truly admire your strength for doing so. Did HR help you with your case? And did you have evidence to prove that this is another case of workplace bullying in your organisation?

[author0] Is Nasa going to restart the astronaut program? Would it lead to a space race with China w/ their already planned goals of putting a base on the moon?
And then what happens if we lose that space race??? Are we no longer numba won? [author1] When we started hitch hiking rides to space with other countries we were no longer #1 [author0] Does this mean that Putin already has won? [author1] I don’t know if there is a winner, it’s more like a never ending race to which Russia and China may be in the lead over the US now. Granted some of our tech companies may be on the verge of pushing US back to the front with reusable rockets and such but for now we don’t have a space worthy vehicle. [author2] We are launching astronauts at the end of may from a SpaceX rocket.

[author0] AITA for telling my black girlfriend she can't be upset at my grandma's racism? A couple days ago I set up a call to my grandma with dementia, who is in a care home, when I was told she was having a lucid day. I told my girlfriend, who lives with me, about it. She has never met my grandma.
She got really excited about the call and wanted to talk to her and meet her. She knows that my grandma has dementia and has made racist comments as a result. I want to make it clear that my grandma, as her true self, is not racist. She grew up in the deep south with deeply racist parents. As an adult she escaped that life and became very progressive. As I knew her, she loved everyone and was loved by everyone. Her dementia has caused her to regress to her childhood and as a result, she spews a lot of racism.
My girlfriend knows all this already. I warned her again that my grandma has no control over this and if she regressed as I was speaking to her and saw my girlfriend, something would be said. My girlfriend accepted this and told me repeatedly not to worry, and that she wouldn't be offended.
I took her word for it and let her on the call. The call was great for about 10 minutes, my grandma was lovely to my girlfriend and was so happy to see me with her. Unfortunately, she had a regression and blanked out for a moment. When I asked her if she was ok she started to get really upset and confused. In this case I think seeing us on the screen scared her and her nurses started to take her away to calm her. We heard her start whimpering and saying "A dirty n-word's looking at me, its gonna hurt me" over and over again.
I turned it off and told my girlfriend "That sucked". I was pretty surprised when my girlfriend burst into tears and ran off. I went and asked her what was wrong and she told me that she was disgusted and horrified by my grandmother.
I was pretty pissed. I basically reminded her that she was warned of what it would be like and she had told me over and over that it was ok and not to worry. She just said she didn't think it would be that bad, which is bullshit because I told her examples of what my grandmother had been reported to have said to the black staff at the care home. It wasn't all that different then what she had said about my girlfriend.
We argued for a bit, her saying that she had a right to be upset and me saying that it was selfish of her to make it about herself. Seeing my grandma like that breaks my heart and I was also upset at the call turning out that way but she didn't comfort me at all or even asked me how I felt about it.
We made up the next day but she still insists that I was a dick and she has forgiven me rather then she reacted unfairly and I have forgiven her.
I know its petty but I would like to know what a third party thinks.. so AITA?
TLDR: Grandma with dementia says racist things to black girlfriend, girlfriend get upset even though she was warned that something might be said, AITA for being mad about that?
EDIT: All my comments have been downvoted, even the ones when I admit I am wrong. I do agree that I should have kept a leveller head and comforted her first. I can accept that makes me an asshole. I don't accept all the people here who make pain a competition that can be won. I truly believe that its because many commenters here have experienced racism and know the pain. Not many commentators are knowledgeable about dementia or the effect it has seeing someone who is like a mother to you, who you have loved and looked up to your entire life, become unrecognisable and hateful and abusive. A big fuck you to the person who said boo hoo to my grandmothers situation.
EDIT 2: "You’re a cancer and I hope you and your grandma die a horrible death" is my most recent PM.
EDIT 3: If you are going to comment YTA with the reasons: that I should have defended my girlfriend, that my grandma is actually a closet racist, that I am a racist (despite loving and dating a beautiful black woman for 2 years), that dementia isnt an excuse...You are an idiot/child/troll and your opinion is meaningless to me.
EDIT 4: Thank you to those who PMed me kindness and fuck you to those who PMed me hateful vitriol that they are to scared to post in the comments
FINAL EDIT: I woke up this morning to being absolutely overwhelmed with messages and comments. I just want to say thank you to those who PMed me, I cant reply to you all. The ruling is pretty split, a lot of PMs and comments saying NTA and a lot of comments saying YTA. I am going to talk to my girlfriend and show her this thread later today. MY biggest realisation in this post is that her opinion is the only one that matters. She knows her own feelings and can explain them to me. I would say I Am the Asshole to myself for posting here when I should have talked to her. [author1] NAH.
Your girlfriend does have the right to be upset, you can’t tell people how they should feel. Many people think they are ready to face something and then when it happens they really aren’t. [author2] Not to mention it’s really hard to have a grandparent with dementia I went through that with my grandmother and I never really got to know her because she lived so far away. He’s probably angry and sad about it and missplacing those feelings [author3] God, it’s truly the worst thing to watch. Seeing someone you love turn into the complete opposite of who they truly are is horrifying. It’s like your living for those moments of clarity, or almost clarity. I grew up being raised by a grandparent, and watched them get dementia and Alzheimer’s. It was awful to see this strong, beautiful person turn sad, scared.
While I understand his SO’s reaction is justified, I also understand that OP’s position is similarly difficult because she doesn’t know his grandma like he does. When people have dementia, they’re not really the same person anymore. [author2] My grandma got diagnosed around when I was 6/7 and passed away right after I graduated in 2017. It was so hard to see her forget who everyone was.

[author0] Beaches are over rated and not that fun As summer is approaching I’m starting to hear people say that they can’t wait to go to the beach, and my thought is why? Beaches suck and here’s why I think that.
- Arriving at the beach. If it’s a popular beach parking is going to suck unless you arrive super early. If you arrive around peak time, depending on the beach, you’re going to be lugging your chairs, coolers, and beach games a long distance. Then you have to carry all your shit while finding an open spot which sucks
-At the beach. Most groups are only in the water for like 10 minutes before they get too cold or bored which is lame. Sitting out in the sun for hours is incredibly boring. Sand gets everywhere. The salt water makes everything sticky and uncomfortable. You got random kids screaming sometimes, and if you’re unlucky, a rowdy group of teenagers. Some beach games can be fun but in my opinion you could have more fun playing the same games in a back yard.
-leaving the beach. The worst part is by far walking to your car with all your beach stuff. Walking back with your wet sandy flip flops is horrible. Bare foot is even worse since the sand is hot.
Other things that make the beach suck; sunburn, jelly fish, over priced concessions, and just being hot. [author1] Yeah - if given the choice I'd rather play golf. [author2] Mauna Kea, resort has rules about ladies playing in bikinis. Guys have to wear shirts, because some of them need a bra. [author3] In bikinis? That’s seriously backwards and demeaning [author2] They had to make the rule because the ladies wanted to. A fat wife used to be a sign of wealth, now a fit wife is a status symbol and for women having a figure and a tan is an investment.
Come to Hawaii, stay in an expensive hotel. I have heard lady OB/GYNs comparing tans. The person who took the best trophy for best sales
Had a sarong over her white leather bikini. [author3] That doesn’t change the fact that having a rule to wear a bikini while golfing is extremely demeaning. By choice, more power to you. Forced rule, nah. [author2] They are not forced, it, they want to, going home with a tan in February is a status symbol.
In America we have areas that get deep snow, that is why Florida became a resort area before airplanes.
Now it is Maui, It is getting old but I used to see little girls including my niece get corn rows like Bo Derek.
Go to school in Boston with a tan and cornrows. It used to be that only local Asians had a tan, but now A tan is a status symbol in Tokyo. [author3] You said there was a rule for women to wear bikinis in order to golf at the resort. Is it a rule to play or just a preference then? There’s a difference if you have a choice. [author2] I used the word wanted, it is a synonym for desire., not need. [author3] Ok I think I understand now. In your initial post you only mentioned it as a rule which means required. [author2] Laurence Rockefeller, was flown in a helicopter by the governor. He was shown a flat area with a nice beach. Mauna Kea resort was a Rock resort. Golf and beaches are linked at expensive resorts, With the gated condos.

[author0] Deciding on wether to start again or not So I’m level 32 or so and I’m working with the Asian guy but he only gets meth and doesn’t pay alôt for it, Does the other gang pay more for the coke? Cause cokes easier to mix so if it’s worth I might just start again? Or is there a way to quit this Asian guy and start with the other? [author1] My current run is 2,150g. I just mixed coke during the day for the mafia and sell to the dealers & clients at night. Starting to become a real job just to supply the mob. I can only order 1000g at a time from Eddie and carry 1200g a duffle bag for the re-up. [author2] Order 1kilo then immediately pay it off then just order again immediately. You can do this as many times as you want and then when the drop comes it will have them all. Also you can fill up a duffel bag completely full and then fill up another and pick the first one up in your hands. [author3] thats why the garage near Eddie is where u store the money [author4] I use the oldtown warehouse for my A zone lab and the garage to store money and my night time dealer delivery bag and supermarket warehouse for my B zone lab and a gang lab in mid deadtown.
Pitcoins would be a good substitute to oldtown garage, if pitcoins didn't disapear randomly.

[author2] Patented technology that creates environmentaly friendly and non toxic disinfectant, currently being hyped for hospital use but other applications include food service, schools and hotels. Also make a degreaser and cleaner with similar properties for oil and gas and related fields.
Their disinfectant creation process is important because previously hospitals would get such products delivered and they carry a shelf life. Not the case when your machine makes it on demand on site.
They are making headway with hospitals adopting their systems.

[author0] He is so gorgeous 🥺 I was so happy to see him [author1] I was sooo upset when I saw this. Totally ruins what made him a good character to start witg all for fanservice 😫 [author2] Good characters don't get treated like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaK8heORkbc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaK8heORkbc)
He deserved better than to die just to prop Cloud up, and be forgotten by everybody he cared about. [author1] His point was to die. They made Crisis Core BECAUSE he died. You're forgetting the order in which these games were made--that matters.
They didn't write him as a loveable character and then later kill him to prop up Cloud. They wrote him as part of Clouds backstory and THEN went back and wrote him as loveable to make his death more tragic and more impactful.
The entire reason he is who he is is--the entire reason that they LATER made him a loveable character is BECAUSE of the initial choice for him to be a tragic hero. Without his death they wouldn't have given him a prequel game because without his death there was no point for him to exist in the first place. Zack's death is the single most essential and important part of his story. [author2] > and THEN went back and wrote him as loveable
No, he was admirable from the start. We knew little about him from the original game, but we knew he sacrificed himself to save Cloud. We knew he and Aerith used to be close.
>his death more tragic and more impactful.
But not to those he cared about. Even Cloud barely mentions him.
Knowing who he is now, we can say he deserves better. The Remake is offering the devs an opportunity to do better by the character, and his fans. [author1] You're missing the point on so many levels. Lol I can tell you're a big fanboy of Zack's, so I'm just going to walk away and say you don't understand what you're talking about. [author2] No, I do understand what I'm talking about. Zack's value(and Aerith's, for that matter) as a character doesn't come from his death. Death in fiction is a gimmick. It doesn't add to a character's development or worth. Aerith was reduced by her death. In death, she became a mary-sue, and Zack became a marty-stue. Two perfect ideals to prop Cloud up whenever he's feeling down.
Like I said before, both Zack and Aerith died to prop up Cloud, and that diminishes their characters. [author3] If you think death in fiction is a gimmick, and doesn't add to a character's growth, then you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Death is a part of life. Life and its scope is within the writer's domain. To deny the importance of death is to deny an understanding of life.
Zack died fighting for his freedom, and Cloud's. The fact that he was willing to fight and die for that freedom does give him value. His death is tragic, and very important. He says it himself, "Boy, oh boy, the price of freedom is steep..."
He knew he was going to die, and fought anyways. So yes, his death does give him value. By denying that, and calling his death a gimmick, you do more disservice to Zack's character than anyone. [author2] Your argument isn't compelling. You're just sacrificing character in pursuit of an emotional high.
Sorry, but death, like a jump scare in a horror movie, is a gimmick. There are some moments where it makes sense to kill off a character, but not for the purposes of "fridging." Zack and Aerith got fridged.
Zack's potential was squandered by dying, and Aerith was turned into a mary-sue after she died(she wasn't one when she was alive).
>Death is a part of life. Life and its scope is within the writer's domain. To deny the importance of death is to deny an understanding of life.
Platitudinous nonsense meant to gloss over the fact that Zack got fridged. [author3] If you want to continue disrespecting Zack's character, then that's on you, I can't stop you. But as a "Zack fanboy," I can tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. [author2] You don't have to agree with me, but I am right. Cloud needs to die, not because death in fiction isn't a gimmick, but because as long as he lives, Sephiroth is immortal. As for Aerith, she needs to live and move on with her life. [author3] Lol You're not right. Death is not a gimmick. And yet again trying to change the subject.
Some of the best written characters in fiction deal with death. I'm sorry you don't like it, but that's the truth. People have been writing about death for hundreds and hundreds of years.
The real gimmick is the "back from the dead" trope. [author2] As I said before when responding to someone else, death can:
- either serve the narrative: which neither Zack's, nor even Aerith's death actually did because Sephiroth is immortal as long as Cloud lives.
- or it can be done purely to prop up another character(fridging) and gaining a cheap emotional high out of the audience.
The latter IS a gimmick. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have to sit through every Batman movie watching yet another scene of Batman's parents being killed. [author1] Genuinely don't think you know what the following words mean:
- fridged
- gimmick
- narrative
- immortal [author2] I don't think you do. Pedantry is usually evidence of a weak argument. [author3] Throwing buzzwords at an argument doesn't make it a good argument.

[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] For PCI passthrough, your processor needs to to support VT-d (that's what intel calls it, not sure what AMD calls it).
Personally in your situation I would just dual boot. [author0] I did enable that. I also game while coding a decent amount of the time so being locked in one os or another isn't going to work for me

[author0] Interesting developments regarding the 200 foot searcher I've been in the search for years- mostly as a lurker but I do follow the forums and watch some of the YouTube content regarding the search and the longtime players in it. A troubling dynamic has recently come to light in the search community and I came here to discuss it...primarily because the other forums are so worried about it getting out that they remove posts regarding it.
As some may know, (but it seems to be privileged information only known to a few and those that know Fenn until recently) there is talk that one of the person(s) closest to the chest is a Doctor who searched in the 2012-2013 time period. This person searched only once (at least that was the information until recently) and apparently did not need the money or was not interested in looking again. Fenn told certain individuals (this is the version I've heard lurking) that this person was a physician that he knew and Fenn was surprised that he had figured him out or something of that nature. Fenn apparently told others that this person was pretty close (200/500 foot searcher?).
Fast forward to recent times. Cynthia Meachum went on a YouTube channel's (Chasing Indy) broadcast and said that she was corresponding with the father of the Doctor and even had pictures (assuming of the search places they went). This information is only known to a few (until now) and they seem to be very interested in keeping any further details private for obvious reasons. On the THOR forum, a post was recently taken down titled "Interesting developments in regards to close searcher". You can still see the cached version (some of it anyway) through Google search, however when you click on it-it is gone.
Upon further review, this particular Doctor was searching in and around the Yellowstone area with his father. In fact, his father posted a follow up search effort on Dal Neitzel's site from 2018. However, it does not give any specifics regarding the search area. Cynthia mentions that this person and/or his father wanted to go back in 2019 but could not due to obligations to do with his high level Government job.
If, in fact all of this is true (and it remains to be proven if this Doctor is in fact the fabled 200/500 foot searcher) I wonder what Fenn would think about those in the chase trying to CHASE down this information being that only the true insiders (or just Cynthia) seem to have said information (actual locations) and it is not readily available to all. Isn't this cheating? And would Fenn be dumb enough to have told anyone details about this person, knowing it was a likely scenario that he would be tracked down at some point in the future. Why did it take seven years to figure out the identity of this person? And shouldn't the search info be available to all instead of an individual or individuals that know(s) Fenn?
Due to the fact that this person and his family did not locate the treasure in 2018 follow up search (there may have been others), we do not know if they have the correct location but certain people are very secretive with an attitude that says "I know something you don't know". That certainly isn't the intended spirit of this search and I think Fenn would be disappointed if someone found the treasure on a technicality or through a personal association by him giving out a clue he didn't mean to.
Thoughts?
Sincerely,
A fellow searcher [author1] It seems likely to me that Forrest hid the treasure in a manner than you have to solve the poem to find it. Getting 200' away isn't good enough and there's no way to know with certainty who got that far. [author2] Dude, if I was 200' away from an elephant in the forest I would have no idea. [author3] Yes. This. I've been 200ft away from a crocodile and had no idea until I was almost on top of the thing. TC is smaller, immobile, and probably just as well camouflaged. [author4] My understanding is you wouldn't even know about it until you were basically standing on it. I imagine it's probably tucked away between some rocks, it maybe in some tall grass, next to a tree, something like that. And we don't know if it's wrapped in something either. Everyone may be looking for a bronze chest when in reality maybe we should be looking for a hollow log or something.
The facts are simple: no one knows anything about the chest aside from what Fenn has said, and when you let the conspiracy theories (for lack of a better term) get into your head it messes up your way of thinking about the search. I'm convinced this is why the chest still hasn't been found.

[author0] Crown crates I’m pretty new to the game and I’m wondering if there’s a way to get crown crates from quests or something cuz I really want one of the mounts from the storm atronach crates [author1] Just since no one has mentioned it, you can trade players with your gold and they can gift you (most) items from the crown store. But for new players that can be expensive. The going rate has been anywhere from 150 to 200 gold per crown. [author2] the prices vary wildly depending on server. on PC EU you're looking at something around 300g per crown. [author1] Damn. Right now on NA I'm seeing things get as surprisingly low as 130g. [author2] it seems to have dropped a bit on EU as well recently, we were up to 400g at some point XD

[author0] hi i want to get a pc for editing are the following parts good for editing : corei7 8700 gtx 1060 6gb 16gb ram [author1] I think you have a solid idea, but the 1060 is an outdated card, and intel cpus are really hard to recommend at the moment. What kind of budget are you working with? [author0] this is like a deal i am getting with the case and everything do you think i could do editing with it ? [author1] If you're talking about video editing, then yes, I would say so. But you could much better on the hard ware, how much are you paying for that? [author0] 600$ i think bbtw this is my first ever pc [author1] Actually I don't think thats a bad deal. However, you can get a ryzen cpu with more cores and threads which can help with multi tasking and cpu intesive stuff, I believe video editing can fall into this, as well going with ryzen, you have much more room to upgrade in the future.
I put together a real quick list to show you what I'm talking about. [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kVtzsk](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kVtzsk)
With more money you can upgrade that gpu. [author0] nice bro i saw it but do you think it is good for like beginners for editing snd this is my first pc? [author1] Yes it will be good for editing, and picking a amd cpu for your first pc in my opinion couldn't be better, if you want to upgrade in the future all you have to worry about is what cpu you want and nothing else, if you used an intel cpu, you have to buy a different motherboard with the appropriate socket in order to upgrade. So this saves you hassle and money in the future. [author0] ok bro thx alot i appreciate it [author1] No problem.

[author0] When sitting in a tank of water up to the neck the body displaces a certain amount of water, if someone ate oreos while in the water would they displace more water why or why not? [author1] No the gi tract contains air the oreo moves into the gi tract and displaces or causes the air to be compressed the overall volume stays the same. That being said after digestion and metabolism if you were still in the tub and the tub was kept at an equal temperature as your body, fat would deposit over time and with enough oreos. This metabolic change might cause a change in the water displaced. If too hot or to cold your body's metabolism would adjust to maintain homeostasis and most likely lead to decreased body volume. [author0] Even if it was the full box?

[author0] Are we now living at the end of the end times? Just want to see what the feeling is here about the general state of the world and maybe start a discussion on the topic.
Here's my view. I one hundred percent believe, that we are living in the last days and have been living in the last days. It has been coming upon us like the birth pains of a pregnant woman and she's been pregnant for a long time now and even appears to be overdue for her due date.
When a woman is about to give birth her water breaks and then she has contractions or birth pangs. The closer she gets to actually giving birth, the closer together and more intense these contractions get until it culminates in one big contraction with the birth of the baby.
I believe that we are very close to the birth of the second coming of Jesus Christ. And we have years or months before things get really nuts out there. I cannot see more than maybe a few years out...before all things are fulfilled.
The Bible said the one day Israel would be restored as a nation and that after it's 70th year came to an end, which happened last May 2019, things would break open like a flood, prophetically speakning.
It also said after the 49th year of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, by the Jews, the Messiah would soon thereafter. Time was up for this prophecy April last year 2019.
How funny that the two biggest prophecies about the second coming of Jesus Christ expired last year and at the end of last year we have the first ever true global pandemic, allowing the powers-that-be to place the Capstone on the New World Order, which was also prophesied in the bible.

What do you think? [author1] >When a woman is about to give birth her water breaks and then she has contractions or birth pangs. The closer she gets to actually giving birth, the closer together and more intense these contractions get until it culminates in one big contraction with the birth of the baby.
They were saying that when my great grandpa was a child.
>The Bible said the one day Israel would be restored as a nation and that after it's 70th year came to an end, which happened last May 2019, things would break open like a flood, prophetically speakning.
49th year. that already came and went.
>and at the end of last year we have the first ever true global pandemic
You gotta be joking. The current pandemic is a Sunday School picnic compared to previous ones. [author0] Gotcha. I think you’re being a little bit disingenuous here or maybe you’re just ignorant.
That’s OK I used to be very ignorant as well and still am ignorant to many issues.
I didn’t say that this is the worst ever pandemic in terms of death toll and so forth. I said the first ever global pandemic.
Back before The 1918 Spanish flu and all others before there was no such thing as global travel in the sense that we have it now. The Daniel prophecy was not fulfilled yet where it said in the end many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.
Now we are living in a time where many are running too and fro with their planes, trains, and automobiles, to be able to spread a virus throughout the whole entire world within a very short span of months.
And also we are living in the time we’re knowledge has increased starting with The printing press, Radio, TV and Internet... all in the past few hundred years. All of which is necessary because Jesus said when you shall **SEE all these** things, know that the end is nigh.
