[author0] Do you think I’m MTF or Genderfluid?
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m probably trans in some form or to some degree. Though I’m stuck with whether I’m MTF or just Genderfluid. What do you think? If possible, can you explain your decision in the comments?
Here are my “signs” of being trans,
For trans :
- Have bad depression, maybe related to gender dysphoria?
- On the "am I trans part 2" YouTube video I identified w/ 5 of the 7 "signs" of gender dysphoria
- I've crossdressed when I've had the chance since I was 17 (now 22).
- at age 14 I found that the phrase "lesbian in a male body" (or male lesbian) and the term "autogynephilia" and its "symptoms" really applied to me. It seemed like I had something that described my confusion for once.
- age 14-16, would pray to wake up a girl every night (probably would have fit the diagnosis for gender dysphoria at the time), pray for brain transplant machine, want aliens to abduct me and change me to girl, wishing I was put in witness protection so I could get a sex change disguise and was curious about reincarnation
- always having had sexual fantasies as a girl
- took informal online gender tests and got "female" a majority of the time, generally excited when I did and disappointed when I didn't
- fascination by gender bending themes in cartoons (code name kids next door, jimmy neutron, fairly odd parents, etc.), movies (scooby doo, freaky Friday, etc) and online captions
- sometimes choosing female avatars, including female names on some email accounts
- Seeing attractive girls, wanting to be w/ them and imagining being them at same time.
- Maybe felt some jealousy of women, confusing combination of emotions (clocked a transgirl at an airport and felt a mixed bag of emotions including what seemed like attraction, jealousy and others)
- had lots of dreams in past few years as female, feeling very happy in them, hoping to go back asleep to continue them. Also tried lucid dreaming to try to be female in them.
- feel something missing in chest area at times. It can get annoying, especially when trying to sleep, and I would often use a pillow/blanket to "fill the missing area". Not sure if gender related though.. (could it be body dysphoria?)
Against Trans:
- not really having dysphoria, as in hating my body or being male (from what I can tell)
Feeling generally neutral w/ it though (due to it being objectively fit/good) feeling proud of it at times and enjoying looking good at times..
[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/gb8t5c) [author1] as your only point against being trans is that you don't feel dysphoric I will say that you can be trans without dysphoria. with that said I also want to add that being trans does not mean you have to change everything or even anything. you can be whoever and look however you feel most comfortable. [author2] I'm definitely trans w/o having painful disphoria. For me, it presents itself less as hatred for my male body and more just a general feeling that somethings off about it. It doesn't make us any less, but it does make the waiting process a lot less emotionally challenging

[author0] Anyone else collect Pats jerseys? Would love to see other collections 🙌 [author1] Wow! Great collection! Did you buy them all new? If so you have a lot of money invested right there. [author0] Thanks! It became sort of a hobby incidentally haha. I loved the Pats growing up so I’d always ask for a jersey for Xmas growing up. Then as I got older I used to buy one before every season. Have gotten a few from friends as bday presents. Some have been hunted down via eBay or thrift shops when I really started collecting. The last one I bought was the authentic Gilmore in the front. I had actually never bought an authentic jersey before. Def some coin set aside for all these, but It’s been fun
It’s a hobby filled with great memories of past seasons and going and watching football games with friends. [author1] Only Jersey I own is a blue Moss. I love that thing. [author0] Blue Moss jersey is classic and still my fav game day jersey. I had a stitched one that got lost in storage awhile back and it still pains me haha

[author0] Roast my website / advertising advice for web designers? Hey guys, since COVID struck I decided to what I wanted to do for a while and start working on a web design and SEO services agency since it's a field I am very familiar with while my work and my programming school are on hold due to world literally stopping.
I wanted to make a strong and impactful site that will leave an impression, but I am not sure if it's a good idea over a clean and modern design that most clients would be looking for, at least before I get a portfolio - which I can certainly do but I tried making something unique - , so I would love to get some opinions from designers and business people about how you guys feel about the page.
It is still not mobile optimized in the portfolio section, but everything else should be working awesomely!
**My motivation**
I've been working on it for the past 10 days and a dream that I currently want to achieve is to make a sustainable remote business bringing not more than $25k a year (though will upscale if appropriate) in profit and live on a sailing boat, cruising the world while managing a digital marketing agency with employees and outsourced marketing.
I feel my skills are good enough to bring value to my customers and I know how to do SEO from my day job enough that I am confident to sell it actually believing that I am worth the money - which is not something that I could ever say before since the impostor syndrome is generally strong with me.
**Advice that I gathered so far**
* A lot of people who had success on Upwork, which is apparently a great place (still didn't try) said that the best way to get a client there is to bring value ahead of time by writing highly personalized messages when applying for a job. Doing things like a quick mockup of what their site would look like, or a quick analysis of their SEO before messaging can do wonders along with an in-depth message about how you would solve their problem.
* Word of mouth is apparently the best advertisement. You want to be your absolute best self when working for other people and they will let their friends and coworkers know if they need a website that you are a great guy. That way you can also get clients for life and it could lead to improvement.
* Get professional tools. If you want to make your site look really good invest a bit into good tools. Learn photoshop, if you are using Elementor, get PRO, get good with your themes and actually make your things look like something that someone would like to buy. Go all out on whatever you do, because unlike your day job your skills = your reputation.
* When setting up on Fiverr, Upwork or an ad somewhere literally go 120%. Go all out. Don't go 'it's good enough' until it's perfect. People clicking on your profile will see it as a representation of you. Make sure it is in the absolute best possible state, even if you need days to get it just right.
* Actually know your shit. This should be obvious but practice, practice practice. Do shit for free until you are confident and if you are happy with your work save it as portfolio until you have something presentable to sell yourself.
* **Think about ROI for your clients.** If you get anything out of this, get this. If someone is gonna pay you $500 for a service make sure they get at least $1500 worth out of it. Make sure your designs follow the rules, make sure you actually know both on-page and off SEO, make sure that no matter the size of the project you work 100%. Once you get a workflow you can think about optimizing, but at the start, every job is your biggest job, you are making a network.
Aand that's about it. I would love to give a lot of marketing advice, but that's half the reason I am making this thread, but hopefully there will be something for everyone in the comments!
[Roast my website here](https://retrace.design). [author1] Wowwww! From my perspective(regular consumer) that was very aesthetically pleasing. You also show the cool functions (scrolling sideways and etc) you are able to do and display them very nicely. [author0] I am really glad you enjoyed it! I tried aiming for that "wow" reaction along with a bunch of different layouts design-wise to show off my skills, it's awesome that you picked it up!
Thank you for the input!

[author0] First Cast Iron Pizza [author1] How’d they taste? The pineapple and olive pizza has got to be the two worst toppings on Earth for me, but In respect your taste buds. [author0] My wife LOVES pineapple, so over the years I've learned to enjoy the acidic sweetness, especially as it pairs with a good fatty meat. It was easier than getting 1/2 and 1/2 pizzas. We both just love olives.
They both tasted very good.

[author0] Is it possible to duo Dancer of Boreal Valley? My friend and I are trying to duo the Dancer but I’m not able to summon him to anywhere in lothric. Anyone know why this might be?
Edit: nevermind figured it out. He was behind me so I had to catch him up to the dancer boss as well [author1] Have you started the fight at least once to trigger Dancer spawning?
You can never summon allies (or be invaded) in an area where there is no active boss.
Also: are you both using the same password? [author0] I have tried to fight dancer at least once and yes we have the same password. I’m able to get summon him outside of lothric but no where inside. [author2] The other person has to start the fight as well. Once there is boss-fog in front of the door on both worlds, you'll be able to summon each other. [author1] Are you sure about this? People tell stories all the time of putting a summon sign down to help low level people with Vordt, but then getting summoned by people trying to kill dancer early.
Edit: I just tested it and my character got summoned to help someone kill Dancer, while Emma was still alive in my world [author2] Looks like I'm wrong. I was doing co-op a few weeks ago, and I couldn't summon my buddy until he started the fight as well. [author1] Yeah I don't have any better ideas, OP and their friend can try it and maybe it'll work lol. [author2] Out of curiosity, when you tested this earlier, did you have Vordt killed? [author1] Yes

[author0] How good is Code Veronica X? I’ve noticed that the game is 50% off on the Playstation store and was wondering how good is it? I never played it before.
Edit: Thank you all for your replies. I have decided to purchase the game and I look forward to playing it. [author1] It's alright, but it's a very wonky RE experience. It's very easy in some parts with some random difficulty spikes, the location/map's not super memorable, the new characters are pretty... bad, and since it was developed in tandem with RE3, some of the small QoL improvements that game made didn't get implemented into RECVX.
But it's still overall a solid classic RE experience. [author0] Thank you for your response. I think I might get it now.

[author0] Introverts have existed for centuries [author1] Yes, but CD's went along with early internet. If you're really talking *pre*-internet, then cassette tapes works better. This has been your daily dose of pointless pedantry. [author2] Thanks for the pointless pedantry, but may I add. CD's had their time during the true early part of the public internet (90s into the early 2000s) when staying online 24/7 would have been expensive and boring due to the slower stream of content, higher prices, and generally the internet not being where literally everyone is. [author3] Omg there’s this Spotify advert that’s like “thanks for listening to Spotify - no really! You could have listened to the radio, or spun some vinyl, or played a cassette tape. You could even have listened to an 8-track tape, if... you knew what one looked like...”
And it makes me SO ANGRY THAT THEY DIDNT SAY THE ONE MEDIUM THATS STILL ACTUALLY VALID!! CDs!!!
JUST A BUNCH OF HIPSTER SHIT!! Fuck off spotify and stop “hello fellow children”-img me.

[author0] AITA for getting a different birth control than permitted by my parents? OK, so I'm going to preface this by saying that no one is making me feel like an asshole. But if my father would find out I definitely would feel like more of one.
​
So, when I turned 17, my parents started to convince me that I needed birth control, despite me saying that; 1- I don't want to, and 2- that I had no interest in having sex. I was already gonna get an IUD when I turned 18, so I figured I would just get it early. No. I was told that "you can't get something put where it doesn't belong" (yes my father said that). I got approved by him, after the first dose I was in extreme pain and could barely move and function. This went away but, every 3 months I had to get this. I ended up getting a second dose and made the appointment to get an IUD. I now have one and no pain and am happy with this. It is for more long term control, and as I am at high risk for osteoporosis and bone cancer. Depo was not the right stuff for me. I feel like a huge shit stain for getting an IUD without permission, although it is better for me health-wise as well as what I wanted. My boyfriend is super supportive of my choice, and that it is my body and my choice...but I feel like a complete asshole.
So, Reddit, am I the asshole? [author1] NTA
Your dad is the asshole for thinking he rules over your vagina. How is he going to know you got an IUD?? Is he going to pull a T.I. and “expeditiously” investigate your cervix???
Some birth control works and some doesn’t. An IUD is a **medical device** and it certainly belongs where it goes. Do what is best for YOUR body. Your dad should focus on his balls and leave your genitalia alone. [author0] thank you for that.

[author0] Change My Mind: The Stay-At-Home Order is Arbitrary, Political and Has No Basis in Science Hear me out:
On March 18th, Jay Inslee said it was not yet time for a stay-at-home order. Five days later, he issued a stay-at-home order. What changed in those five days? Neither the governor's order nor any of the media coverage of it mentions the state reaching any significant threshold for number of cases, deaths or hospital capacity. What did happen is four other states (CA, IL, NJ, NY) issued stay-at-home orders and there was increasing political and public pressure for Washington to do the same. Dozens of other states followed suit shortly after, despite the fact that the impact of coronavirus at the time varied drastically between states.
You need only look at the lengthy list of exceptions to the original order and the later updates to see there's nothing scientific behind the state's decisions. Why are pot shops deemed essential? Probably because a lot of people would complain if they weren't. Why is construction considered "low-risk" after April 24th, but wasn't on March 23rd? Not because the covid-19 situation was better (it was worse), but probably because the building industry and republicans in the legislature were pressuring Inslee to let construction resume. Why is outdoor recreation suddenly allowed? Probably because it never posed a significant risk in the first place and enough people were starting to find it ridiculous that the state was telling them it was too dangerous to go fishing.
It's clear that there was no objective criteria for determining that the stay-at-home order was necessary and there still is no objective criteria for what it is meant to achieve (i.e. How many available ICU beds are enough to lift the order? 100? 200? Why not 300?). Sure they've been putting out rafts of charts and statistics, but none of it has any measurable relationship to the state's decision-making.
We can't force everyone to stay home indefinitely, so if the state can't answer the question "what will it take to end this?" then we should be questioning whether it was justified in the first place. [author1] There are plenty who agree, and on both sides of the political aisle. There is a relatively politically neutral subreddit /r/LockdownSkepticism where you can vent and rant and be amongst others who will not downvote you to drown out your opinion. You will get some random anarchists, and some diehard MAGA folks, but they are not the main voice.
Give it a visit. If nothing else, you can see that you don't need people to Change Your Mind - there are plenty who are already with you. [author0] I'm not interested in shouting into an echo chamber - I want to get responses from people who think I'm wrong, and I fully expect massive downvotes in the process.

[author0] Movies that seemed to end entire genres Bicentennial Man didn't end feel-good sentimental dramaedies, in fact, those types of movies are being made to this day.
But it seemed to end Robin Williams' time with that genre. It felt like he was making those movies all the time in the late 80's and throughout the 90's (Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Being Human, Jack, Good Will Hunting if it counts, Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, and Jakob the Liar all come to mind).
Then it seems like after Bicentennial Man flopped, he stopped doing those types of movies and tried to reinvent himself as a more edgy actor with One Hour Photo, Insomnia, and Death to Smoochy. And then he just stuck to supporting roles and did a few straight-up comedies like RV, Man of the Year, License to Wed, and Old Dogs.
He did do World's Greatest Dad, which was a dramedy, but I wouldn't exactly call it inspirational or "feel good". [author1] I think The Irishman marks the end of the classic gangster genre. [author2] I'm hoping The Sopranos movie proves that wrong. The Irishman was okay but I thought it was really a slog to get through and I don't want that genre to die out with a bunch of old men trying to hang onto their glory years.

[author5] People who use terms like “simp” are generally men’s rights activists/ incels/ redpill losers. The types of dudes who call women who want equal rights “femanzi’s”. I haven’t really seen it outside those types of dudes so it’s a bummer seeing it on a cool sub like this one. [author6] Men's rights activists have the right to be activists... [author7] Men don’t have the right to do anything without being criticized, did you forget? [author6] I must've forgot! Oh my!
This same society where a man is seen as weak if he shows emotion! Or where their sexual abuses are downplayed because, get this, they're *SUPPOSED* to like being raped because all men want is sex! [author7] Don’t forget domestic violence is a one way crime in the eyes of the people! We are always the bad guy doing crime while we are beat and verbally abused without defense [author6] Boy, men sure do suck!!!! They should have their rights *taken away*!!! [author7] Freedom???

[author0] SBQ Taking Little Damage I was participating in the SBQ fight a few days ago and noticed that I was only doing 4 points of damage and 6 points with a headshot. I was alternating between the .50 Machine Gun and a Gattling Laser. I know that I can configure my guns to use Ultracite, but I never have enough Ultracite ammo. Is there anything else I can do to increase those numbers. [author1] Increase you armor penetration with perks, get better legendary effects for your weapon, double check that you have every damage increasing perk in use, use damage increasing chems.
And most important of all..

[author2] I tried to print one flat (with 5mm of supports) and tbh I had some issues with the print anyway (bent frames etc. - I think just not enough supports) but it took like 1.5-2 hours to print.. [author0] Try flat on the build plate. No supports are needed. [author2] I've always heard that the first 5mm or so often has problems, hence the recommended 5mm of supports. Is this not true for this then? [author0] I have had zero problems at all in the ones I have done. My first one deflected off the build plate in one spot and then I checked the machine for level and upped the exposure for the bottom layer to 75 seconds from 60.
I print 60 layers in 20 minutes and they come out great. Give it a try! [author2] I'll take a look. Still need a good enough photo to print lol. Thanks for the advice though! [author0] Good enough photo? Use any photo! At 20 minutes and less than $1 using Water Washable resin, just try it! Standard resin would be less! I just went through and created files for about 20 images to see what they would look like. Some tips: Don't use dark images. I max out the build plate, save for 1mm in each direction. Lower the STL on the Z Axis so the first layer will be the first flat layer and not the back of the frame that the maker creates.
My images are 100 layers but I only print them to 60 layers so the frames are there but not as deep. Saves time and resin, I will address this when making them in the future but all the ones I created already are 100 and not 60 layers. [author2] Sorry when I said a good enough photo, I meant one that I want to print - not just some random one. Whilst I get it's fairly cheap to do, I don't want to print off just anything.
Do you change any of the settings on the website when making the file? I felt the frame looked very thick? Also, how do you tell Chitu to only do 60 layers - or do you just stop it at the 60 mark? [author0] I have not messed with any of the frame settings, my prints were all 100 layers as I processed them all on Tuesday night. I stopped the print at the 60 layers and I like how they look, I don't think that another 40 layers of frame would add anything but time and resin consumption. [author2] Fair enough. I'll take a look at it over the weekend, thank you.

[author0] Created an Account Just for This: Customers Bank and PPP Just wanted to come out and add my voice. The docusigns you're getting from customers bank and RC aren't a scam. They're the best chance anyone with a PLP # from RC has of getting funded. No gimmicks. Take my advice or don't. I know how hard it is to trust new users, but I promise there have been people working around the clock to get this thing fixed. The CEO of Lendio isn't doing this for himself. Both he and RC are ACTUALLY solely focused on helping as many people as they can. That's all I can really say bc I'm trying to stay anonymous as much as possible. Just trust the email you get. [author1] The SBA should really take alook at what RC did they approved all these loans without the capital to fund but they are going to collect fees for these loans wouldn't that be considered fraud. [author2] exactly...kind of like calling a poker bet without the chips to cover the loss...WHICH IS WHY IVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG WE NEED TO SUE AND GET AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THEM CLLECTIUNG A DIME

[author0] This is how dictators work [author1] And she'll get away with it. A judge will just throw this out. So frustrating [author2] I get that you’re frustrated, but the governors actions are necessary, legal, and constitutional.
“All not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Right now your country needs y’all to chill out. [author1] In the UP there are little to no cases. The same can be said about the northern half of the lower peninsula. Why does 66% of the state need to shut down because of the metro areas in the south? We already have flattened the curve. We haven't once in any state, not even new York, overwhelmed the hospitals. Why must people need to remain unemployed for this? I'm not saying let's all pack into theatres, but let's make a plan to open up. Not just close everything down because that's not working. Crime is up dramatically and it's only going to get worse as people run out of money and their former places of employment shut down. C'mon. [author2] Why won’t you acknowledge that we have massively changed our behavior and that has given us the results we wanted? The hospitals haven’t collapsed because of lockdown.
The rural versus urban sentiment is garbage. Viruses don’t care about your zip code. You wanna go back to work? Stay in your rural hospital when you get sick. Good luck brother! [author1] I did acknowledge that what we did helped? That's exactly what I meant when I said we flattened the curve?
Now that we have done that, it's time to reopen. If the virus isn't in your county, nor a neighboring county, they should be able to open. That's not garbage, that what makes sense.
Please tell me why it makes any sense to stay closed? [author2] I don’t think you understand the implications of a flat curve. A flat curve is also a **long curve**. Without a vaccine, we’ll have to develop herd immunity. That means we all take our turns getting sick and getting care so we don’t die. [author1] But that's exactly my point, we are reaching a level of herd immunity where the curve has been flattened. I don't think you understand it doesn't meant people won't get sick, it means that we have enough people who have already gotten it that it won't spike and the hospitals won't have to pick who gets care and who doesn't like they had to in Europe. We are beyond this point. Now is the time to begin reopening. It also remains that two thirds of this state is closed down because one third has a presence of this illness. How the fuck does this make sense? 5 hours away from the nearest virus carrier means that it is highly unlikely that you'll get it. Why do those people have to remain jobless or have their business go under? It's the worst kind of failed logic that only this governor can idiotically make sense of in her own damn head. [author2] You’re so close to getting it. A flat curve is not a sign of herd immunity. The curve is flatter now primarily because of our behavior change - not because we’ve developed herd immunity. You need a certain number of the population to be infected and recover.
41,000 cases is not even 0.4% of the population in Michigan.
I don’t think you people understand. Republicans are getting you rallied up to go back to work, but they’re also working on removing all liability for employers who’s employees get sick and or die.
So they force you back to work, the employer has no duty to provide a safe working environment or ppe, and you can’t quit because you wouldn’t be able to claim unemployment.
Republicans are not for you - this is all for their rich business owning supporters. You and I are lambs to their slaughter. [author1] 41,000 cases doesn't even include those asymptomatic or those who haven't been tested or haven't gone to a hospital with the virus. Don't be intellectually dishonest.
Republicans are not removing health care, in fact many insurance companies are offering you free care if you have coronavirus. Stop fear mongering. Just because we aren't rallying for Medicare for all doesn't mean they are trying to remove health care or liability for care. [author2] Not removing healthcare - which actually they are removing enrollment to ACA, but that’s another issue. They are removing LIABILITY. They are trying to force you into a situation where you have to go back to work, and the employer has zero responsibility to ensure your workplace is safe and has zero liability if you’re exposed while working.
How do you not see that as a problem? No American should be forced to choose between death by starvation and death by virus. [author3] Listen fear monger, The virus isn’t a death sentence. It can be deadly but you’re far from a goner if infected. [author2] If you get the virus, do you want there to be a bed and a ventilator available for you? Definitely improves outcomes if your case is one of the bad ones... Are you going to seek medical attention when you get sick?

I wish the clasp was a little nicer, and the crown is a bit small. Other than that, it's a great watch. [author0] My only gripe is the bezel lume. I feel like it could be a bit brighter.

[author0] Do you think the judicial branch has too much power? [author1] I think that Legislative has refused to do their job too much forcing executive to take up the slack in decision making and judicial to deal with people yelling "hey you can't do that!". [author2] What makes you say that?
Also, *if*, the judicial branch is failing to perform, how on earth is the executive branch a good choice to make judicial decisions? [author1] > What makes you say that?
Congress sitting on their ass and letting the executive just decide not to execute parts of the law and/or just make shit up about what is or is not legal on a whim that changes every time we get a new president.
> Also, if, the judicial branch is failing to perform, how on earth is the executive branch a good choice to make judicial decisions?
I didn't mean to imply executive is making judicial decisions. Executive is making legislative decisions and as executive is not supposed to be doing that judicial ends up having to clean up the mess. [author2] Gotcha. Was confused and misinterpreted your comment.

[author0] FBDs [author1] we can choose counter clockwise to be the pos direction, since thats the direction the system wants to move in. so for the hanging block the equation should be Fg - Ft = ma, and for the block on table, Ft - Ff = ma, for,both its the counterclockwise force minus the clockwise force [author0] i have been doing Ft-Fg 🤦♂️ is that incorrect? [author1] yes because then youre saying tension is the positive force and gravity is the negative. if you chose your positive direvtion to be counterclockwise in your system then Ft is a clockwise force and so is the negative force [author0] ah, that helps a lot thanks [author1] no prob

[author0] Smart Disc Buff Like I’ve been thinking about it and I have no idea how to make the smart disc useable.
Making it a one shot is too op but if it isn’t a one shot it leaves you to vulnerable and takes to long to get out of the animation.
Do you guys have any idea how they should buff the smart disc? [author1] Make it auto-target instead of user-controlled [author2] Or do what Dark Sector did and be able to do both.

I’m looking for an interesting YA series. I haven’t read a series in a while and this seems like the perfect time to start one. I’ve read things like Hunger Games, Divergent, Twilight and The Mortal Instrument series. Open to anything and everything as long as it has an interesting story line. Thank you! [author1] The selection series by keira cass. its a love story, but i seem to enjoy the same books as you, and i loved this. [author2] Second this! For something a bit darker, definitely Red Queen.
I also loved The Cruel Prince series. [author1] Ooh, red queen was good.

[author0] Vomiting while pooping? Ok, 40 year old female. Diagnosed with crohns at 27 in 2007. Was on remicade up until October when I developed antibodies, and subsequently started entyvio. Have always had what I call the hot waters, (that watery saliva thing your body does when getting ready to vomit) while pooping, but it progressed to actual vomiting and causing a loss of 20 to 30 lbs. Had colonoscopy and endoscopy in December, as well as CT scan. Both the scope and CT showed inflammation in the lower 3rd of colon and rectum. Was put on a 4 week course of pred starting at 40mg, tapering 10 mg per week. Once i came off the pred, i started vomiting again. This is literally only when i poop, and there is no nausea involved. But it's not every time i poop.
Went back to the doc in mid March, as the mental toll of vomiting several times a week at work was getting to me. They put me back on pred, 40mg this time with a slower taper of 5 mg per week. I just got to 10 mg 4 days ago, and today while trying to poo my stomach contracted and I vomited, luckily into a towel. I grabbed a trashcan and it was like my stomach continued to contract and I could literally hear it making a noise (like a cat when they are vomiting).
I'm wondering if this has something to do with the vagus nerve, or possibly something else. Anyone have anything similar. Nausea has not normally been a symptom for me ever [author1] This happens to me when I’m beginning a flare up. Everyone’s symptoms are different though, so always keep that in mind when asking for experiences such as this. Best option, call your GI as soon as you can. [author0] They know about it and didnt seem to impressed. I was supposed to have a consult at a university IBD clinic this past Monday, but due to covid they cancelled the appointment. Will reschedule when they re open [author1] Well I hope you’re in good hands and have someone to take care of you. The worst part about any sickness is just not knowing.

[author0] [FT] Prize game [LF] 20k bells I am doing another prize game a bit earlier this week!
This time around I am doing 5 randomly wrapped presents for 20k bells. Ex of prizes: furniture from cute series, Sahara flooring/wallpaper, clothing such as pacifiers, tiara etc.
I will only be accepting 25 people in groups of 3.
Heres how this will work:
\-You arrive on my island and you see presents leading to the bunny arch.
\- These presents are free. You can take up to 2 of them until they run out.
\-inside the arch is the actual fair area. The real presents are placed in their own section
\-You will throw down 20k bells and wait for me to pick them up then you go into the prize section and select 5 prizes.
\- Then you leave through the airport.
Thats it. everything is fenced off so you cant go anywhere so just follow the fences.
Comment below and I will Dm you the dodo code. [author1] I’m interested! Will bring 20K! [author0] dmed [author0] thank you!

[author0] How much of Zero Requiem was planned? I watched R1 and R2 some time ago so I might be forgetting some important details, but how much of Zero Requiem did Lelouch actually plan? Did he intend to become a dictator of the world from the start and die?
For example, it felt like he gave up on his original plan when he talks to Euphy, but then thanks to his mistake he has to keep going with the war. [author1] Zero requiem was only conceived of after they got rid of the emperor. [author0] Then was his original plan just to take down Britannia for revenge and to make it safer for Nunnally? [author1] Initially, he very much wanted to survive whatever rebellion he was leading them into. For the sake of living with Nunnally. So, whatever form it would take, I dunno. If he could had painted the picture of the emperor of Britannia as evil and take them down, Zero would be a hero of liberation to the Japanese people. That's the smallest victory he would be contented with.
Euphy screwed up this plan, and for the sake of Euphy, he was willing to concede defeat, retire and spend good quality time with Nunnally in the protected zone of Japan. Then he screwed up his concede of defeat and managed to paint Britannia as evil. At great personal cost to his own morality. He would always wonder if he could forgive himself after the goal is attained. That's why he was very willing to let Suzaku kill him at the end. Without this twist, Code Geass would had been the conventional good vs evil theme. Now the main character becomes a flawed hero, and we cannot condone his mistake, yet we see how logical his actions must be to kill Euphy.

[author0] Top House Dem Hakeem Jeffries Breaks With Party, Says Tara Reade’s Biden Allegation ‘Needs To Be Investigated Seriously’ [author1] The need to push this story makes the Right look desperate. [author2] Hakeem Jeffries isn’t from the Right [author1] Dailycaller is. [author2] True, but what does that have to do with the substance of what Jeffries said?
Also just a disclaimer, I am very liberal and also not even from your country. I just don’t understand why people aren’t directly attacking the argument. [author1] The substance is moot since this is being pushed hard as a means to discredit Biden. There are conflicting details in her story and it is being billed as some major instance when it is not.

[author0] Some beginner's questions [author1] 1) French, English and Spanish.
2) Private Il deals with domestic law, Public Il deals with International law.
3) Malcolm Shaw (there are pdfs online).
4) Listen to geopolitics podcasts.
5) Do volunteer work with organizations. You can find Human Rights clinics and Refugees NGO's anywhere.
Feel free to correct me. [author2] Only small correction to push your nice start forward :)
Both private and public IL deal with international law.
Private IL deals with the questions, which state's law is applicable in case where foreign elements occur (also called "conflict of laws"), and which state's courts have jurisdiction and things like that. (so, when you buy something through the internet from a chinese seller: which law is to apply? and so on)
Same here: Feel free to correct me.

[author0] AITA for falling asleep during online church and taking a nap afterwards? I am a female teenager and have medical issues regarding my period that include awful cramps, back pain that gets worse during the week, and due to so much pain I get maybe 4 hours of sleep a night maximum.
Last sunday my dad mentioned I was grumpy and I told him I didnt get any sleep but when I explained why he didnt seem to care.
I climbed onto the couch and despite me paying attention I fell asleep. When I woke up I was like oops I didn't mean to do that and just headed to my room so I could catch up on more sleep. My dad came in my room yelling at me about how rude I was and that I wouldn't spare an hour to the Lord.
I apologized and tried explaining that my pain has kept me up for that entire week and that I was just exhausted. FYI I always pay attention to church and take notes this one time was the exception.
So, I took my nap and an hour in my dad woke me up harshly and said I couldn't sleep anymore or i wouldn't sleep that night (it was 9 in the morning at this point).
I told him I just wanted to sleep a little more and then I'll get up but he was not having any of it which I would assume is because he was still upset that I fell asleep during church.
This got more heated, which I can admit was mostly on my part, and my sister joined in which led to a 3-4 hour long lecture from my dad and step mom.
At first i thought i was in the right but afterwards i realize it was a stupid thing to start a fight over so please be honest, AITA?
Edit: grammar and spelling [author1] NTA. It's bad enough your own dad doesn't understand your circumstance, but for your sister, a fellow woman to join in on the lecture, that's just awful.
I recommend seeking the care/advice of an OB/GYN. I don't think you should need a parent to accompany you to an OB/GYN, but you can always call your local clinic and ask. It's important for you to know what is going on with your body, and also important for you to have a health professional's medical opinion to present to your dad if this happens again. [author0] For clarification, my sister joined in on my behalf but she for the past few years shes had issues with ym father and took it as a way to put in other unrelated things which also led to the lecture

[author0] But how great is miasma?
When I first got into Ghost I listened exclusivly to their most popular songs on repeat (square hammer, dance macabre, rats etc..). When I was craving for more, I dug deeper and found miasma. At first It didn't really get my attention, and I had to listen to it a couple of times before it became my favorite, everything is perfect. When I see lists of ghost songs ranked it never gets any love. Don't get me wrong I love all their songs but I'm wondering what you guys think? Does it need to age to become good? [author1] I love Miasma, it’s probably the best distillation of everything about the sound and vibe of Prequelle. [author2] Agreed, all the ingredients are there.

[author0] how are my ECs? Hi everyone!
I'm a sophomore (CA ORM) and am just wondering what you guys think of my extracurriculars so far and let me know if I need to make any adjustments.
**Research**
* \~300 hours in an ophthalmology lab for two years. Haven't had any publications, posters, or abstracts
* \~100 hours in a clinical research lab during the summer between my freshman and sophomore year. No publications, posters, or abstracts from this one either.
* Was accepted into a SURF with a $5000 stipend for this summer, and the offer extends throughout the rest of undergrad. It's in a bioengineering lab that studies bone mechanics, and I'll definitely at least get a poster out of this.
**Volunteering (Clinical)**
* Got my EMT license last summer but haven't had a chance to work as one yet. Will hopefully start this summer or fall.
* Founded a club on campus which takes blood pressure for homeless people. Just started sophomore year so I don't have that many hours yet, probably around 80 at 2 hours a week.
* Was accepted into an internship program at UCI's hospital for this summer where I could talk to patients and listen in on physician rounds. Don't know if this will still continue or not.
**Volunteering (Non-Clinical)**
* Started a grocery delivery service after coming home from college with a friend, and we've logged around 200 hours so far and have done around 100 deliveries. We've coordinated over 30 volunteers who do their own deliveries through our system
* Soup kitchen volunteering for two years, but I don't go that often. I probably have around 50 hours total so far.
* I am a Questbridge Scholar, so I've acted as a mentor to incoming Questbridge Scholars on the challenges of being a low-income student and helped them adapt to college life. Just started this my sophomore year, but I have around 60 hours doing this at around 2 hours per week for all of my mentees.
**Physician Shadowing**
* Shadowed an orthopedic surgeon this past winter break for a month, around 40 hours. Was scheduled for more but coronavirus :/
**Extracurricular Activities:**
* Fraternity since fall of sophomore year, around 80 hours at around 8 hours per week (candidacy was pretty time intensive since it's a social fraternity). Do ADCOMs generally view fraternities negatively?
* Intramural basketball since freshman year. Weekly games and practices, so I'm estimating around 150 hours so far.
* I make music. I don't know if this matters but I do it as a hobby on the side.
**Employment History:**
* Tutored disadvantaged students at a local high school in geometry. Probably one of my most meaningful experiences. Worked around 200 hours.
* Over the summer, I tutored students privately. I don't know if this matters.
As for my GPA, I'm currently at a 3.78. I know it's good, and I don't want to be neurotic but I had a 3.93 after freshman year and had a horrible fall semester. If it matters, I'm also at a T5 undergrad. Thanks for reading! [author1] Question I also started something on my own who do you think you will list as the contact for it . [author2] Anyone you’ve worked with that can verify you did what you say you did. If you work completely alone (like a hobby) you can leave it blank. [author1] I started like a basketball tournament in my community for kids I collaborated with other people my age and my parents . Would one of the kids parents be acceptable although they didn’t directly help me but they know what I did or one of my friends who helped me get everything running ? [author2] Who would you feel more comfortable with if AMCAS contacted the person to verify your hours? [author1] I would say my friend because they were alongside me day to day helping . But do you think it would be less credible ? [author2] Stanford asks if any of your references are friends in the secondary but i don’t think it would matter much. No other school i applied to really asked or cared [author1] Okay i see thank you

[author0] Built my first PC, had nothing but problems So yesterday I built my first PC, had issues with DPC Latency that I made 2 posts about, then this morning I ran some commands from an article I read online and it worked! All DPC latency was gone! Then about 3 hours later when I was attempting to link my activision account to my blizzard account my whole screen went green and I had to shut my pc off. When it came back on the DPC latency was back, about 20 minutes later I got a blue screen for a “VIDEO SCHEDULER INTERNAL ERROR” then it came back up no problem, but still with DPC latency. Then my GPU would spike from 7-92% I’m really at a loss here. I don’t know what to do, whether my motherboard is messed up or it’s my GPU. On Reviews for my motherboard, no one else has had an issue for DPC latency, but on reviews for the graphics card I got (Radeon 5700xt MECH OC) there’s reviews about audio issues and things running hot. [author1] Ryzen has issues with latency and audio glitches so if you’re doing anything intensive thats the issue. I’m sure theres tricks and stuff to lessen it but its there. It’s in the architecture, i always recommend intel when it comes to audio professionals [author0] I wasn’t doing anything intensive though... I just really wanna know what was wrong or if I should just send everything back and go for a whole new build/prebuilt

[author0] Reading Beowulf Just finished Beowulf (translated of course). While a lot is up to the translator, and its overtly Christian, there's some great scenes which have parallels in the Two Towers. Particularly the arrival at the hall, and in the final section of Beowulf's funeral. I think it's a rare case where the movies expanded on the story and got it right - if you see the extended edition at Theodred's funeral:
*A Geat woman too sang out in grief;*
*with hair bound up, she unburdened herself*
*of her worst fears, a wild litany*
*of nightmare and lament: her nation invaded,*
*enemies on the rampage, bodies in piles,*
*slavery, and abasement.*
​
Definitely worth a read. [author1] Is Beowulf overtly christian? Ive read it a few times and never got that vibe. But i am quite dumb. Lol. [author2] It's a Christian adaptation of a pagan text.
(Tolkien himself notes that a key problem of the story is the competing claims about whether Hrothgar's people had heard of Christ). [author3] We don't actually know that.
There is only one extant copy of Beowulf, and there is literally no mention of the story anywhere else.
It's just as likely that it's purely christian, but written for the purpose of converting pagans. There is no evidence, that I am aware of, for it being originally a pagan story. [author4] I'm not quite sure I agree with that.
The study of Beowulf's age and origin is an old and hotly debated field. There have been many interpretations and conclusions, but one I have *never* seen, is that it was a purely Christian creation. This is because many, many elements within the story, both historical and philological, heavily refute this.
For one, the entire story is full of references to specific historical details and people who we know, from corroborating sources both in Old Norse as well as Frankish documents, to be genuine. The great majority of the characters in the story have names cognate with historical kings and figures in Danish annals and Sagas.
Hrothgar is Norse "Hróarr", mentioned in numerous Danish and Icelandic sources, "Ohthere" is Óttarr vendilkráka, "Halga son of Healfdene" is Helgi son Halfdan, etc. All of these people lived long before writing was invented either in Denmark or England, before even the Anglo-Saxon invasion. So there definitely was an oral tradition.
Whether the poem itself is that old is of course somewhat difficult to say. Elements of it are newer, but the very presence of these archaic elements would be very hard to explain if it was a never poem. There are several instances in the manuscript of what seems to be the copyist mistakenly "correcting" place and tribal names because he doesn't know what they mean. This only makes sense if he is working off of much older material. Furthermore, if he was basing the poem off of some historical document (of which we have no evidence), he still wouldn't have been correcting say tribal names into verbs. That *only* makes sense if he was transcribing an oral account, where forgotten words had been retained due to their metrical import.
Now, Beowulf himself does appear to be entirely fictional. Yet even then, he seems to be a product of myth and fairy-tale, not litterature. As Tolkien and Tom Shippey both pointed out, there are numerous hints pointing towards him originally having been a form of were-bear, including his name (**bee-wolf**, a kenning of "bear"). That the Beowulf we have should be show evidence of having been stripped of fantastical elements only makes sense, *again*, if there were older variations of the poem. The fact that the story finds a clear analogue in the Norse character of Bodvar Bjarki heavily indicates that this story goes back to Proto-Germanic times - in other words, pagan times. [author3] I find it exceptionally odd that you've never seen an interpretation of Beowulf being fully a christian creation as it is one of the major theories that exist. The connection to pagan religion, politics, and literature is irrefutable. Of course it pulls from those sources, but the story itself uses those elements to make arguments about the value of those pagan ideals. This argument, however, is also hotly debated, hence why I said "It's just as likely" in my original comment. [This](https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/25656034.pdf?ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_SYC-5152%2Ftest&refreqid=search%3A97b85543ab61f0f2d052f703f9b5a359) (Need JSTOR access) article does a pretty good job of presenting the argument both for and against Beowulf being a christian work. There are a few other articles, referenced in the one I linked, that were written in the a couple decades ago, but I find it's always best to look to the most recent research before looking further back.
As regards the mistaken place names, I haven't seen any articles on that, but if you have some I would love to read them. Not at all saying you are wrong or right, just that I haven't heard that argument yet.
I have heard the arguments about the possible legendary origins of Beowulf, and while I think there is some truth to it, it is again an argument and not fact. As long as it is not fact, I think it is disingenuous to present it as such.
My main point in that original comment is that presenting it as 100% a christian adaptation can be misleading. We don't know for sure that it is or isn't. [author4] > I find it exceptionally odd that you've never seen an interpretation of Beowulf being fully a christian creation as it is one of the major theories that exist.
Nonetheless I have not, although I have read a good deal on it. Perhaps we mean different things by it, however. I can fully accept that the known iteration of Beowulf, with its somewhat disjointed episodes and clear signs of later influence, is a Christian invention. I could well believe that the oral poem upon which the manuscript itself was based was itself a Christian composition. Yet the story itself, the actual tale of Beowulf (and which Tolkien attempted to reconstuct in his Sellic Spell), I have never seen being claimed as Christian. It does not surprise me that such a view should have been at some points put forward, but it still seems entirely incompatible with what facts we do know. I would love to read that paper, but unfortunately am incapable of accessing it.
> As regards the mistaken place names, I haven't seen any articles on that, but if you have some I would love to read them.
I am trying to recall my source. If I can find it, I will contact you and provide it. I seem to recall one example being related to the Bardings, a tribe from present Rügen mentioned in the poem and seemingly attested in a few unrelated sources, yet which had been entirely destroyed and forgotten by the 10th century. The manuscript, as I recall, showed signs of having attempted to correct the word to something else, since the copyist evidently didn't understand the original meaning. But take that with a grain of salt - I will try to seek the source. [author3] > Yet the story itself, the actual tale of Beowulf... I have never seen being claimed as Christian.
Ahh ok, that makes complete sense then, and I would concede that. I was referring to the w*ork* of Beowulf as opposed to the *story* of Beowulf.
> I seem to recall one example being related to the Bardings
Ok that does actually sound somewhat familiar. I might do some poking around in a bit myself to see if I can find the article I am thinking of. If I happen across it, then I will be sure to contact you as well!
​
Thank you for your willingness to go back and forth on this! I hope I didn't come across as too irritated by anything you said. [author4] > I was referring to the work of Beowulf as opposed to the story of Beowulf.
Yes, well then we are in agreement. I think when we are talking about poems, distinguishing the one from the other can become difficult. Oral epics tend to be incredibly iterative, essentially reusing the same phrasings and devices with new contents. Whatever the date of creation for Beowulf-as-we-know-it, it would not surprise me if (and indeed, the seemingly relict passages we've discussed would support that) some of its verses are very old indeed. One may imagine generations of successive poets retelling the same story, sometimes inventing new lines, sometimes rephrasing old lines, sometimes simply lifting old lines wholesale. By the 9th century, it could hardly be called the "same" poem as its 7th-century equivalent, yet the descent is clear.
> I might do some poking around in a bit myself to see if I can find the article I am thinking of.
I believe it may have been in one of Tom Shippey's works that I encountered it - Road to Middle-earth or Laughing Shall I Die. Otherwise, perhaps on Wikipedia, but unfortunately there is no index and so finding it would be difficult indeed.
> Thank you for your willingness to go back and forth on this! I hope I didn't come across as too irritated by anything you said.
Oh no, there's no issue at all. Gauging tone can be quite difficult on written forums, and even I (regrettably) sometimes assume undue malice, but I understood you clear enough. On the contrary, my original reply does seem somewhat provocative, but again, such is the written form.

[author0] [US-GA] My (22 M) dad committed suicide yesterday. Do I have the "legal right" to his service/handling/ashes or his mom? in usa, Georgia. Not sure why automod flaggerbme
. .Sorry for the long title. Long story short my grandmother is trying to overstep her bounds and sign the papers to get my dad's ashes and plan his service(s). Anyone who remotely knows my dad would know he WOULD NOT want that. Do I have a right legally to this, or my grandmother?
As far as I know there was no will or anything of that nature.
Sorry if this is the wrong sub or isn't a legal matter. Tried googling but I'm struggling a lot, honestly this is a tough time for me. Thanks for your help. [author1] That sounds like it is unpleasant to deal with at a terrible time in your life. I'm sorry for that.
If your father did not have a will, Georgia has a default will. Every state does. It's called the law of intestacy.
Here it is for Georgia:
https://stearns-law.com/family-law/wills-and-probate/georgia-laws-of-intestate/
If he was currently married, his spouse would have rights to his legal possessions and disposal of his remains. If not, it goes down an order of inheritance according to that law. [author2] Not sure if your laws of intestacy works the same as ours, where the estate devolves to the spouse and children first (according to a fixed ratio) and if no spouse or children then sideways (to bothers and sisters of the deceased) and only where there are no brothers or sisters (or surviving children of brothers and sisters) will it devolve upwards to surviving parents

[author0] Collector Confusion Hello. I have just got the collectors bag. I was told i should just collect as I go and just go to any building I see and collect everything in it and loot every NPC I kill? And then at lvl 9 start using the maps? I wanted to run this through you guys first to see if I'm doing it right. If anyone has any tips and tricks all help would be much appreciated. Thank You. [author1] Look up jeanropke map on here....has all current available items...items are on cycles but essentially somethings can be completely collected in one cycle completing a set....I have only recently started to use the map...sell whole sets when possible. [author2] I wonder if it could be frustrating using the Jeanropke map if he doesn't have a metal detector. [author3] Not really. The pentacles and swords sets are still worth some change and even if he shouldn't sell outside of a set, selling still gives him XP which can then level him up to get the shovel and the metal detector for complete sets [author2] Very true.

[author0] Bought a bike recently/regret Bought a motorcycle with a huge down payment (6k), I owe 14k about the worth of the bike...I regret the bike I bought and want to trade it in already. How crazy or stupid am I? I have this loan for 60 months at 5.49%. Am I going to get bent over on a trade? [author1] Damn 20k is steep for a bike you can get a cruiser for like 7k. You’d lose 6k if you trade it in. Is that worth it for you? [author0] Basically lose the down payment if I trade no matter what, right? [author1] Yeah your bike is a used bike now so you’d have to take whatever someone would give you for it. Honestly what’s your regret? Did it cost too much? Are you going to buy a cheaper bike or something else? [author0] It’s a lot of nit picky things that I thought weren’t going to bother me and I got impulsive. Payment wise it’s very affordable to me right now. I like the older gen, some are more expensive. [author2] What did you buy? [author0] Thought it would be easy enough to modify it to how I’d like it...riding the high in the moment honestly, impulse.

[author0] [Calculus 1] derivative of a function : Is my setup for this problem correct? Hi, I was doing my homework when I got to [problem 3a](https://ibb.co/QNVtD5j). I copied the formula down, and while I know how to use the [f(a + h) - f(a)] / h formula, we’ve never used this formula before because the f(x) and variable x get confusing. I started to set up the problem, but it didn’t look right at all — how do I set up this problem? Any input appreciated, thank you! [author1] No because if you distribute the bottom through you get the square root of x times the square root of x ^ 2, which is the square root of (x cubed), which is not the cube root of x.
The definition of the derivative you wrote says x-a, not the cube root of x minus a [author0] Hmmm, I see. Thanks, do you have any tips on how to set it up correctly? [author1] So for the bottom you can think of x-2 as (x^ (1/3)) ^ 3 - (2 ^ (1/3) ) ^ 3 and then rewrite that using the formula for the difference of cubes. It looks like you tried something similar [author0] Thank you, this was really helpful! I forgot it could be rewritten this way!

[author0] Manga readers, thoughts regarding something specific in ep 4? So far, as a manga reader and OG fruits basket fan, I've been impressed with the anime. I've liked how they've handled many things and updated, and also how they've kept it true to the original. But in episode 4, I wasn't sure if they handled the Haru/ Rin situation well, SPECIFICALLY as it relates to her injury. Even the anime-only fans know that Akito hurt Hatori. I think it's fairly obvious that Rin being hospitalized was due to Akito. Obviously, as manga readers, we know Haru doesn't know this. I feel like he came off as really callous, though, talking about Rin's hospitalization and how much he cares about her, when even the anime-only people can probably connect the dots.
Did I miss something? Was it handled poorly? Or does it just stand out to me because I KNOW TOO MUCH? [author1] But doesn't Haru not find out Akito was the case until later? Or am I remembering that wrong? [author0] Yeah, he doesnt find out til later. It's the same. I wonder if the reason it feels so different to me is because it was the first time I felt the difference between the mediums of anime and manga so much.
I believe Hiro reveals it later because he saw Rin get pushed from the window. [author1] Yeah! I didn't feel like he was being callous cuz I thought it kind of mimicked what we saw in the manga! I also remember later when we learn more about Rin that (probably because of the childhood trauma) she had been sick a lot throughout her life so maybe he thought the hospitalization was just a consequence of that? [author0] That's what I'm hoping the anime only people think! It's hard for me to remember my original thoughts when I read it. [author2] The haru/yuki scenes are line for line the same as the manga???

[author0] Best affordable decks for two friends starting out? Hi guys!
My friend recently got me into MTG Arena, and I've been having a lot of fun, and I was thinking of getting into the card game again. I say again because I actually played it like 10 or so years ago but never really got into it because I was too young to comprehend the game very well.
​
The question is what are good decks for us? I remember back then a lot of my friends got duel decks, but I know that they discontinued those. Are the duel decks still worth? I heard that there's these new spellslinger starter kits, but I don't know if that's too basic for us since we already know how to play the game from arena.
​
I know that things like the duel decks were designed specifically to play against each other, but I think for now, that's still okay, we'll get our own decks if we enjoy playing magic in person. I was looking at the decks [here](https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/magic/product?productLineName=magic&q=duel%20deck) and I was edging towards merfolk vs goblins, but I don't know if I'm going in the total wrong direction. Are there any other affordable options? Should I just go for the challenger decks? Literally guidance is great here, I don't know what I' m doing with MTG when it comes to physical decks haha.
​
Thanks! [author1] Planeswalkers decks are the go-to premade decks but it sounds like they may be too basic for you since you already know how to play. I think the Challenger decks would be great for you all to play against each other. [author2] Note when in Europe this is is the significantly cheaper option compared to the cardkingdom decks everyone else is recommending

[author0] Candice LeRae in PWG taking her new finish [author1] From Human Tornado's bottom bitch to the beloved underdog to Mrs Gargano. Wild ride. Hope she curbstomps that rat face she married, and goes back to fucking people up. [author2] Given that she literally can’t do her indie gimmick in NXT I’m not really sure what she’s gonna do to make people care about her without him. Also, Gargano as her personal ring announcer last night was hilarious [author3] What was her indie gimmick? Not familiar with much of her pre WWE work besides the Guerrilla Warfare match against the Bucks [author4] Inter-gender wrestling [author5] damn it must have been weird seeing her do that gimmick all those times she wrestled women

[author0] What the Great Pyramid of Giza looked like at the time [author1] This would certainly be deserving of the moniker 'Interesting as Fuck' *if* the pyramid pictured in the bottom image were in fact the Great Pyramid. It's not. That's Kafre's pyramid, Kufu's pyramid- the actual Great Pyramid of Giza and the largest pyramid built by the Egyptians- is directly to the northeast of this one. [author2] It wasn’t built by the Egyptians. The Egyptians found the pyramids and settled there. [author1] You're thinking of the Aztecs at Teotihuacan. [author2] I am not. Did you know there is water erosion along the bottom of the Sphinx that dates it back to at least 10,500 BC?
The Egyptian hieroglyphics also do not once state they built the pyramids. [author1] [No](https://www.historicmysteries.com/how-old-is-the-sphinx/) and [no](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ancient-egypt-shipping-mining-farming-economy-pyramids-180956619/).
Sorry reality isn't interesting enough for you, but the truth is often easier to find than it is to believe. [author2] LOL those articles are trash. Here you go bud
https://www.robertschoch.com/sphinx.html [author1] Smithsonian is "trash" but known kook Robert Schoch is legit? Okay dude, have fun in fantasyland. [author2] Have fun with your head in the sand believing a group of people could build those monuments with copper tools lmao

[author0] No primary keys. I just started a new job and a number of tables do not have a primary key at all. I have never see this in my 6 years of working with SQL. I don't want to jump to conclusions so I ask here. Is that normal? It was my understanding that all tables should have at least a primary key.
​
​
\*Microsoft SQL Server [author1] Figure out if a composite key is possible, if it is ask for an RFC, else its a design flaw and you should alert about it. [author0] I will look into a composite key. Thank you!

[author0] A way to explore the "cycle of revenge" without destroying beloved characters Hear me out, and apologies in advance for formatting. I'm on mobile.
We've all heard that the theme for this game is the cycle of vengeance and how revenge doesn't bring closure in the end. With the downright hysterical the plot turned out to be in the leaks, I've spend way more time than I should thinking about how to craft a story that explores that theme without ruining beloved characters the playerbase has grown quite fond of.
- Game opens up a few weeks after part I. The relationship between Joel and Ellie is tense. She knows he's hiding something and he can hardly look her in the eye when she confronts him.
- Time goes by. Have the characters bond through routine activities of apocalypse survivors; hunting for food, scavenging supplies, etc... Make us play those sections, fill them with TLOU patented dialogue.
- In the meantime, confront the characters with hardships of living in this ravaged world, make them witness senseless violence, power struggles, betrayals, whatever, something to harden Ellie as a human being.
- Now operate a reversal of the first game. Where Joel started cynical and hard, make him grow softer by interacting with Ellie, settling in the role of a loving father, while Ellie grows colder due to the way the world is.
- make this culminate in an event that pushes Ellie to the brink. Maybe the crazy cult kidnaps Tommy, or Dinah or whoever they're supposed to be attached to and kills them like in the trailer. Give Ellie a reason to go berserk while Joel, now a tired old man tries to reason with her. He tries to tell her that it's not worth living a life of violence. He wants her to turn out different than he was before meeting her.
- it all falls on deaf ears. Ellie goes on a rampage to avenge whoever and finds herself going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole of hatred. Maybe while tracking the cult she sees the consequences of their actions, or the remains of their victims or whatever, and she just wants to kill as many of them as she can.
- At some point, she just does it routinely, just killing after killing, while Joel is desperate to get the foul-mouthed teenage daughter he used to have back. Show the impact of Ellie's descent into hatred on Joel, how it crushes him.
- Ellie gets captured by the cult who's had enough of her crap. Playable Joel section where this tired old man goes to rescue her. He knows it's going to be a one way trip.
- Give Joel an appropriate send off, one last case of old man strength where he dies protecting a weakened Ellie, allowing her to flee.
- Ellie recovers, considers the consequences of her actions, goes back to collect Joel's body for proper burial, finds out he died an excruciating death because of her, goes berserk one last time, kills everyone.
- Ellie ponders how she was the cause behind Joel's death. Vengeance didn't bring her any satisfaction besides losing her loved ones.
- if nihilistic, Ellie commits suicide, having lost everything. If going for a more positive ending, a distraught Ellie goes on the road again, carrying a heavy past and trying to just live another day, like Joel used to before meeting her.
You can tack on another sequel on top of this, so more money to milk from the players, instead of the absolute zero interest a part III with fucking Abby and Lev will generate.
TL;DR: don't do ma boi Joel dirty like that.
Edit: couple of spelling mistakes. [author1] I completely agree, that’d be the perfect way to continue from part 1, a well thought out emotional sequel that gives Joel a fulfilling and meaningful death while still developing both his and Ellie’s characters, but instead we get Neil Druckmann’s pile of senseless, disrespectful garbage [author2] But Last of Us's world is supposed to be realistic. And in the real world it's very rare, even for heroes, to have meaningful fulfilling deaths. [author1] This series isn’t 100% realistic though, remember in part one when a spike went straight through Joel, if it was realistic he would of died there, yet somehow he managed to just get better weeks later while being stuck in a freezing basement, that isn’t realistic but it’s enjoyable. There’s not always a need to sacrifice enjoyment for realism
Anyway it’s not impossible to give a character a fulfilling death while keeping it realistic

[author0] What you guys think were getting in the next couple of updates? I personally believe Living Frigates but I doubt that [author1] It's all speculation. I want more options while in the ships, free look while in the ships (Non vr), more communication options while flying. Make Vulkan api the standard! [author0] Whats Vulkan api? [author1] Application programming interface, it's like DX11/12 but better use for multi-core cpus and a much better optimization for cpu efficiency. Since this game is cpu intensive we need to take it out of experimental mode and make it the normal.

[author0] [Serious]Teachers when did you realize you were teaching a sociopath or psychopath? [author1] I was only in student teaching, but I was watching this grade schooler and the teacher came to tell me how this was a "troubled class". Continuing to watch the kid as they bullied, lied, or messed around beyond what a little kid should act like, all I could think about was how much of a disaster they could turn out to be if they never got under control as they got older... [author2] Wow that's tough
