Hi guys..i just got my 10th results. I scred 75% overall. iam a slow learner who bearly managed to pass in pre boards and so did my friends. I really worked hard like 6-7 hrs per day of studying since November. I did this for 3 months but still tend to forget things during exam. But all my friends have scored really well( 85+). Iam feeling very bad. My parents are very supportive and keep encouraging me. I want to score good in 12th board and make them proud. Can you share study techniques on how to recall answers and how to write fast. I think speed is my major issue. I have taken humanities in class 11.

I hooked up with this guy that I’ve known for a while. We’ve had a pretty instant attraction towards each other for about a year now. We would meet for makeout sessions but he would never let it go any further than that. Until a few days ago. We finally hooked up after getting drinks. He texted me after saying he had a great time with me and wanted to know when I got home. Sent me a good morning text the next morning and called later that night. We chatted about our hookup and were laughing about it because there were a few comical moments. He said he would like to do it again.
I didn’t hear from him yesterday so I sent him an afternoon text with a picture. Just mentioning a conversation we had the night before. He didn’t answer that.
We’re coming up on 24 hours of that text not being answered. And almost a day and a half of no communication.
Did I just get played/used? Do I send one more text later today?

Hi All,
I’m currently on a student visa in my final year. I finished all my submissions and exams but still didn’t receive my grades nor my certificate.
I have a job offer and they will provide sponsorship, my question is, can I apply to my tier 2 visa now since my work start date would be after my course end date?
Found this on the gov website but still a bit confused.

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! nothing is working! Every Indian tech, American tech, Asian tech, video does not work! I’ve reset everything from network to adapters to router to PC! Wtf is this problem and why tf is it the final boss of all pc problems! It just randomly happened!!!! Never seen my signals pop up with 1 dot….. why tf is this happening give the real answers not the bullshit troubleshoot methods everyone knows already!

I’m a junior who goes to a small community school. We have an English teacher (let’s call him Mr. Baja because that’s what my classmates nickname him from Baja Blast) who is a Gen Z like us, maybe in his early or mid 20s. Mr. Baja has been teaching our English class since last year. Most of the school pokes fun of him and treats him like crap. Almost every day, they would find someway to push Mr, Baja’s buttons. They would pull pranks, make animal noises, take or save pictures of him, and ask him very personal questions and expect him to answer, like his love life and where he lives. I feel as if I’m the only kid in the school who respects the teachers. However, there is one classmate that bothers me the most, let’s call him Man. Man has been a troubled kid for as long as I can remember. He’s been pissing off Mr. Baja just about every day. For quite a few months, Man would touch Mr. Baja wherever he can, pressure him into giving hugs, and make sexual comments. All that Mr. Baja has done was tell him to stop and expect him to. I’ve told my parents about the situation. My father has told me not to tell his father, an art teacher at the high school. From what I’ve heard, Man’s father hadn’t really been treating the best and has been favoring Man’s sister over him and hasn’t been treating him the best. Either my father doesn’t want me involved in this situation or he doesn’t want Man to get in trouble with his father. I have checked on Mr. Baja, to seeing if he’s doing ok, and asked if he needed any help. He said that he was doing fine, but I didn’t believe it. From what I’ve heard, the treatment of my classmates towards him has been ruining his relationship with his fiancé. I decided to leave Mr. Baja alone to see if one day he’d finally stick up for himself. After a few months of Man touching Mr. Baja, I decided that I’ve had enough. After class, I decided to talk to one of my Special Ed teachers, let’s call her Cat. Cat was appalled by what I told her. She promised she would tell the principal, and will not say it came from me. After that, Man has stopped touching Baja. However, he still makes comments and makes him uncomfortable. I don’t know if either of Man’s parents know about the situation, but I hope they don’t. He may be an asshole, but I don’t want him to get in trouble with his parents either. Mr. Baja has decided to quit teaching our school once this year is over. I’m honestly happy for him. Our school doesn’t deserve kind teachers like him. I hope that he’s safer in his new career and that he and his fiancé start a new life together. As for the people reading this, don’t be afraid to help others if they need to, and don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself.

Impeccable Intuition: Holy shit!!! I have learned something new about myself: I should trust myself. However, I shouldn’t trust my mind, only my heart. My logic told me Battler was the culprit, but my intuition signaled out Shannon, Rudolf, Kyrie, and especially Rudolf as being the most suspicious. The Shannon theory was supplemented by logic, but it still came mostly from intuition. I was onto Rudolf and Kyrie ever since episode fucking one!!! And I was especially onto them during episode two.
Note: All this is based on whether the truth Bernkastel showed us is legitimate or not.
I just knew that there was something fucked up about Rudolf (and Kyrie). Something felt off about this from the very beginning. Now, of course, this might end up not being actually legitimate, but leave me alone right now, I’m currently dancing on cloud nine. I’ve gotta shout it to the sky: I’m not crazy! Maybe a little bit with my Battler theories, but my heart was in the right place.
Godddd, I feel so unbelievably validated right now. Y’all really kept your mouths zipped tightly shut every time I mentioned them, didn’t you? Kudos, most communities would’ve spoiled that kind of twist. I’m honestly feeling incredibly appreciative of this wonderful community right now. Y’all are awesome. Thanks for letting me experience things and not letting the urge to reveal things win over.
Return of the Bestcest: Ahahahahaha. On that note, y’all also suck! One of the things I had heard coming into the series was that there was some sort of incest plotline. But y’all really told me, “Oh? Where’d you hear that?” There’s a term for this: gaslighting. Y’all gaslit me into thinking that I had heard wrong. Evil little buggers, that’s what y’all are. XD.
But Goddamn! There was a lot of incest in this episode. Freaking Kinzo with his own daughter, creating Beatrice (Shannon/Kanon) who then gets with Battler (and George + Jessica). Yeesh. I had been expecting it coming in, but I hadn’t imagined there would be quite that much incest. If Battler and Beatrice/Shannon had a child together, I’m pretty sure its inbreeding coefficient would be 28%, that’s more than the famous Habsburgs who were at only 25%. They’d still lose to the Ptolemies, though; the infamous Cleopatra VII could have had an inbreeding coefficient as high as 45%. And that’s not even the extent of it, Cleopatra was married to her sibling/s, if they had had children together, the resulting child would have had an inbreeding coefficient of about 90%.
And it’s not only incest, it’s incest with his relative who is herself a child of incest. And not only that, but it’s essentially a coterie of cousins trying to figure out which one of them can bang their cousin-aunt the fastest. Are we sure I didn’t get lost and accidentally end up on the crusader kings subreddit?
Smidgen of Beatrice/Metaverse: This is one thing that has really been hurting the story in my opinion. There’s so little Beatrice in it, particularly Beatrice and Battler interacting with one another. I’m still not sure what the relationship of the reborn Beatrice is to the old Beatrice. Did she inherit her memories? If she did, it was never explicit, which is unfortunate, because I would have liked to see it.Additionally, c’mon, what’s with her funeral? All that kinda came out of left field. Is this a separate Beatrice, created by Bernkastel to show Featherine the answers. Does that mean that the Battler who appears in this episode is also a piece created by Bernkastel?Additionally, all of this begs the question: what exactly is the nature of the metaverse? Is it something that has actuality? Or is it something that only exists within the mind (Ange and Featherine’s?), or is the story going to leave this vague and undefined to hone in its thematic messages?Regardless, I desire more Beatrice and Battler interactions. I hope that this funeral of hers isn’t the last we see of her. Battler and Beatrice were wed, but I still feel like something’s missing, it hasn’t yet come full circle, not until it is explained what drove Beatrice to the extremity of her cruelty in the first few episodes. That wasn’t simply a hurting heart, it was sadism.
Lion Ushiromiya: So, if I’m understanding it correctly, this is what Shannon/Kanon/Beatrice could have been had Natsuhi not yeeted her off the cliff. Also, does this mean Jessica is lesbian? Lmao. Unless my Kanon = Shannon theory is wrong, that is, then ignore all of this. I’m pretty sure that this is the correct conclusion, though. This comment is my justification of it: https://www.reddit.com/umineko/comments/1co28vs/comment/l3bu6ho/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Additionally, it is hella suspicious that when Willard tells Shannon to fetch Kanon so they can talk about it together, Shannon says quite forcefully that she is unable to do so. And the fact that Beatrice told Shannon she would create a friend for her using magic, which is usually key in her language for “I’m about to make some shit up.”
It’s an interesting character, the booty pinching is a nice touch. I don’t have much to say on this subject, it’ll be interesting to see where the character goes in the final episode. Hopefully she (he doesn’t feel right) makes things come full circle in relation to the culprit.
Beatrice Castiglioni: The backstory of Kinzo and the true predecessor Beatrice was fascinating. It certainly makes everything fit together, although it is an outlandish tale that no one would have ever been able to guess. I also guessed that the Beatrice that Rosa met was the daughter of the original Beatrice, but I never imagined that she was Kinzo’s daughter, and I certainly never guessed that Kinzo would force himself upon her in the name of banal batshit love. Or that the Beatrice that Maria meets with was both Kinzo’s daughter and granddaughter.
Clair Vaux Bernardus: I am currently working on the assumption that Claire is simply the veiled version of the culprit, Shannon. Meaning that Yasu = Sayo = Shannon = Beatrice = Kanon = Baby Battler. Hence the title she refers to herself with, “one, yet many.” Or, in layman's terms: batshit crazy. She definitely has dissociative identity disorder. I guessed Shannon may have been the culprit in my previous post, but I think the moment it really nailed home is when I realized that Shannon couldn’t be Yasu’s senior servant. She would’ve been far too old.
Besotted Beatrice: Shannon’s story really is depressing, though. I’m sure most of us have felt the pangs of love. Many of us have probably felt it even worse than Shannon, so we should be able to empathize with what she went through. That all being said, it is not Battler’s fault by any stretch of the imagination. They were kids, it was stupid of him to make a promise like that, but such is life, kids are stupid. What is even more ridiculous, though, is holding onto a spur of the moment childhood promise even after growing up. And no matter how much it might hurt to find out that the one you love doesn’t even remember, it doesn’t justify murder, nor does it wipe away the deserving contempt in the face of such an act.
Next Episode?: I’ve been saying this for a few episodes now, but I do really want to see a big magical showdown happen between Battler’s team and the Bernkastel/Lambdadelta’s team. I was also cheering for Battler to come and rescue Lion and Willard when Bernkastel attacked them. I’m still holding out hope for them to get Gamemaster Battler involved. I trust Battler to sort things out, he hasn’t let me down yet. Long live Meta Battler.
Also, sidenote, but I noticed that in the version of the story that Lion and Ange were shown together, they showed the death of every character except for Battler and Eva. That means that Battler might very well have survived the Rokkenjima massacre in the “real” version of events, assuming that we can trust that classification given by Bernkastel. Which I am going to assume for simplicity’s sake.
Also, what happened to Ange? She got shredded again. Is she dead? Is she dead in the “real world”? Or alive? Or what? It’ll be interesting to see. Regardless, now I’m just happy I can now say without reserve: FUCK DOLFMAN. I’m a simple man, this is all I need to be happy, the knowledge that Rudolf was, in fact, a piece of shit just like my intuition was telling me since episode one. I’ve still got it.

I’m a 26 year old girl. Eldest daughter in my family. I moved to the US 2 years ago from Africa all by myself. I was running away and escaping severe trauma (still haven’t processed it entirely because it’s so hard to even believe that it happened) sometimes I feel so shocked by it that I have looked into parallel realities and such and what if I am in a coma and I am dreaming this…even two years later lol. At the time it happened, I somehow had a visa to the US on my passport so I made a decision in my dissociated mental state to make a permanent move 8000 miles away where I knew no one, had nothing. It all happened in a matter of two weeks.
All my life I think I had it good. I am not the type of person that wants or needs much, I am easily happy as long as people around me are happy, don’t care for external validation or such (someone that practices in the psychology field has told me that I exhibit autistic traits and this one is heavily one of them: i knew I was neurodivergent but not necessarily for that particular trait)I had a good job, had my bachelors in Software engineering (wasn’t a fan lol), loved, loved, loved my friends and family and just life. I thought it was colorful and pretty but I also always had guilt for having it so good while the rest of the world suffered so I have always had a problem with gratitude.
Growing up, they thought us to practice gratitude by reminding us of how many people lacked basic needs, how many people lacked health etc…and I HATED IT. To me that felt like every time I say thank you to God/source/universe i was thanking “him” for making me “special”, “a chosen one” to be able to have food when other kids didn’t. Even as a kid I asked “I am the same as them though, I did not do anything special to earn it, so why” I didn’t think I didn’t deserve it, i always acknowledged that it was my human right. But it was theirs too. So it felt off. For me gratitude felt like something to practice in extraordinary, like a lottery. Because that is excess, not really a human right. So I could say thank you for something that “special”. Moments of the day that are set apart for gratitude to me were so uncomfortable: a reminder that something bigger than us somehow chooses to nurture me with my basic rights while denying others exactly like me from their basic rights. My heart hurt. In hindsight most adults hated when I challenged them like this. It was as if I was bursting their bubble.
Living in Africa, there isn’t really any middle class. Its either upper or lower. And those two are forced to co-exist together in the same space everyday. You walk out of your mansion and you see someone who hasn’t eaten for 3 days. That’s what shaped my stance on gratitude. I DID feel lucky, but just couldn’t give thanks. It felt I was ignoring the self fortunate. I had always said if there will ever be a day where the world is fair and just and everyone is fed, that will be the day you hear me praise a higher power. (Ik this was long lol I hope the point is clear now, i usually used to be misunderstood on this).
Fast forward to 2022, moving here with only my savings. I reach out to ppl I had known in good faith. I state that I expect nothing from them in terms of welcoming me as I literally popped out of nowhere and I have heard repeatedly the US lifestyle is so busy. Many are shocked by my move, they say they can cosign my apartment for me since I still had paperwork and SSN work being processed and such and some even offer I stay with them for a month or so. Up until that point I have always had such smooth, loving, deep relationships with people with zero to none bad experiences (besides my trauma but I have good practice of being careful to not project, deflect or make society pay for my traumas) so I had zero trust issues at the time. And then begun the hell I have not left to this day.
What I have experienced since then genuinely feels like a movie and writing it here is the first time I am seeing it from an outsider point of view and it feels even crazier. My first ever and only other post on here was my first time that I experienced severe mental and emotional abuse. By someone that knew very well the amount of trauma I went through AND by someone that actually heard I was out here and voluntarily reached out to help. To this day I haven’t gotten an answer for that. I was so in shock but I was in no contact with my family, no friends, having panic attacks by the day. I also immediately got diagnosed with an incurable eye disease that you don’t usually discover until its in the late stages. I spent most of my savings on just the diagnosis stage only for it to be incurable. Meaning, I wont be able to drive anymore.
When I finally escaped from that person, another person that heavily volunteered to help me cosign a place, switched 100% on me the day they signed. They made me watch sexual acts between them and their partner, bodyshamed me in front of men, forced me to host strangers (men) in my home b/c they “co-signed” (didn’t happen, I refused but they put me on blast the next day saying I am stingy), would come to my home unannounced and enter without knocking, having sex on my pillow and let me sleep on it and would just laugh at me the next morning, would send me on errands for their lux activities with only my savings even though they knew I had no job, and just severe mental abuse. I can never get through it all. Even their s/o would say “hey thats too much” to some of the things. To clarify, by co-signing i mean as a guarantor. They have never spent a single cent, not even the co signing fee. I was still in a state of shock and dissociation so I couldn’t stand up for myself. And the fact they offered to be my guarantor just cornered me. The couple of times I tried to they would make sure to say what they did for me and would verbatim say “i will drop you like you don’t exist”. Eventually I walked away. As an eldest hyper independent daughter that has always been scared to accept help but had to unlearn that and for this to have been my first experience of being open to help was beyond traumatizing.
Since then I have just cried every single day, gotten into a lot of debt just to pay rent, bills and food. Sometimes I dont have anything eat for three days and my belly hurts. I used to have longgggg hair, i am basically bald now. I’ve lost 50lbs. I can’t recognize myself in the mirror. I have applied to more than 2000 jobs, but having no Corporate America experience its so hard to stand out in this job market. And for other “regular” jobs, I dont drive due to my eyes and I am not in a walkable city. I go weeks/months without stepping outside/not even seeing sunlight. I am sooo happy to still be housed but this is a complete 180 from the life I had and mentally I am crushed. Not even sure what is making me push. I give myself credit for not falling into “bad” habits and addiction. The few times people have heard me out they suggest I date a “rich” guy because I am a “catch”. That doesn’t feel right to me. Transactional love is just wrong in my eyes. I am a lover girl. I would be able to get back the tangible qualities in my life, true, but at what cost? Another person’s heart? Idk.
I managed to get a retail job near where I live. I was doing well. It barely overed rent but it means I wasn’t borrowing money so it felt good. It belonged to a big corporate and they were struggling with their marketing. I would offer my knowledge since I used to be a marketing manager for a big company back home. I wasn’t doing it to get promoted but I wouldn’t have hated that. I was just happy they gave me a job and this was me giving it my all even in areas that aren’t covered by my role. My managers were terrible at their job but they found my inputs valuable I guess. Guess what they started doing lol….they started giving me their login information to their work accounts and would tell me to “do my thing” while I was sitting in the shop I worked at. I was doing it, I didn’t mind. I thought its just adding to my experience. And one night one of them invited me to their home and gave me soup and bread and butter (I try to clean up well but you can tell I am malnourished). I wasn’t a fan of the food but I ate it because it was a nice gesture. They added one more bread and said in a “sweet” voice “now that’s enough for tonight”. I find out minutes later that the soup and bread was them paying me for doing their corporate job for them that week. The dehumanization I felt is just something else. But I just smirked it off and went and cried at home. (To clarify…they did that bc if they paid me in cash I won’t get taxed and that is just wrong according to them. They are a patriotic American).
Next thing you know. One night I was walking back from work I got assaulted by an old man. The worst trauma so far. Its been 6 months but I haven’t recovered still. The police were called by neighbors and such but he had already left bc i screamed and fought him off when ppl heard started showing up.
Just experiences like this over and over and over. I lost the job bc the shop shut down. Although I am still on their payroll because they want to be able to call me whenever they need my services. Not even sure if that is legal but I am still learning about things out here, I have no guidance, things are sooo different here and that’s probably why I have been taken advantage off so much.
Recently I got into the law of assumption and such bc I am just so so so so tired. I miss my family. I miss food. I miss TV. I miss people and physical touch. I miss not crying every night. I miss feeling protected. I dont feel like an adult i feel like a little girl out in the woods. Two years is a long time to be stuck in this. I never thought I would have debt but here I am. I have so much potential in this world but I feel stuck and so unseen. no one sees me. And when they do they abuse me. Physically, emotionally whatever. I have tried meditating, eft tapping, all of it but that is so hard to do when you are starving. The law of assumption gave me relief. The entire concept of you create your reality made something click in me.
All those years that I empathized with the less fortunate, the people that starved, the unhoused people, me refusing to not identify with them because I didn’t wanna be out of touch….is this a result of that? As someone who has never liked putting blame on others (I try my hardest not to because my focus is change and blaming will never give me the results I want so I usually turn to what can give me change and if that is myself that is such a relief bc the one thing I can change is me) that’s why I loved this LoA thing. But once again I am EXTREMELY tired. I joke with myself sometimes that if my brain was a bladder it would have been out if use a long time ago lol not even sure what I am trying to achieve with this. My phone bill cuts iff tomorrow so I guess this is me trying to maintain connection with the world until further notice.
But truly I am tired. I’m soooo tired. I dont see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore. I’ve fought so hard with zero reward but now I just want to rest. I have tried everything under the sun. What can I possibly do?

I, 16F am here because i need a non-biased opinion. my friends all agree with me but i cant tell if thats just because they are my friends. My younger brother is only 13 years old but for my entire life of knowing him he's been manipulative and a total attention seeker. anytime we fight, even about small stuff its blown way out of proportion. He's constantly losing and gaining friends. He makes friends super easily because he's very charming, but he'll start to lie and spread rumors just when everything's finally stable and then he'll hop to another friend group and play victim. He's also the most manipulative person i know, he's constantly sucking up to people but only when it benefits him. The final thing that made me lose all faith in him was in 6th grade, he beat up this boy in his PE class, he said it was because the kid SA'd him (he's trans, not sure if that matters), and he reported it to the principal, but there was footage proving otherwise. I dont even know what to do, i dont even love him anymore, i'm so sick of him manipulating everyone and getting away with it.
The other thing he'll do is fake suicidal ideation & self harm anytime things dont go his way (like when my parents take away his phone or stuff)
Im not asking for a diagnoses, just some advice or answers really

After quite some time almost 2 week I did it again and I do gotta say Shaytan is good at what he's doing Astaghfirullah. But I won't give up, he can get me once in a couple of days.. but the days I am with Allah I'm closer to him and longer with him. And I will keep going back to Allah after doing something bad he will be my final destination whatever I do, so let's start again strong 💪💪 My final exams start in 25 days I'm going to try to. I'm going to be clean until then to have a fresh mind who can work properly and focus and stuff I really hope I do and then stop doing it until after my exams and will be free from this addiction Insha'Allah. It would be amazing to fully quit this now. I wasn't always addicted no one of us was. So we can really change just like that. You just have to have faith and trust in Allah, be real and serious with him and he will be serious with you. I may be guilty deep inside my heary of my deeds, but Allah is the most Merciful he can forgive anyone and he knows there's good in us the Ummah of the prophet.
Guys never give up, once you give up you fail. Keep going and trying this shows you how much you try for yourself and for Allah. Insha'Allah we will get rid of this addiciton. Insha'Allah we will keep doing our best with good results. Insha'Allah everything will get better for everyone how his/her life may be 🤲🤲

I have never had to deal with something like this before, I thought I knew EVERY tell for a scam. But I got sucked into one and I’ve spent the better half of my day having a full blown panic attack at work.
I applied to a bunch of jobs last year and eventually gave up on my job hunt. Got an email from someone named Courtney at Awestruck. Awestruck is a very real, very legit company in destination marketing. They were not behind this scam, but someone was using their images, people, and assets to pose as them.
I was emailed by Courtney, who IS a real person (but not the one contacting me) on gmail saying I was shortlisted for an interview. My first red flag should’ve been that they gave ME a time to hop on and didn’t ask for a scheduling time. I did it anyways. The pay was super good and it was for a remote video editor position, in my field.
The interview itself was the other red flag. I never spoke to or saw a live person. It was Courtney, the original person who emailed me, who I was messaging over…Microsoft teams. They gave me very basic questions and I had to answer with a video response
Then they called me the next day to say I got it, and that I had to start pre-training IMMEDIATELY after signing an offer letter and tax/banking form. They kept using very urgent phrases like “do it now” “have it done right away” and had a bit of broken English. They asked me to do a mobile deposit check of $7,600 to pay vendors to buy equipment, by printing it out and scanning it with the app. I’ve never heard of this before but I assumed it was kosher bc my bank app accepted it.
The next day, today, they asked me if the check showed up and asked me to Venmo their vendors. That’s when I finally got some sense in me and blocked him. Called my bank and they confirmed it was a bad check. The hard part is I wanted this job to be real so bad. It would’ve made my entire dream come true. So it hurt but whatever. Thankfully I didn’t send them a penny but they do have my most important info like bank numbers and even my SSN. I know how to protect my bank account but if anyone has any comprehensive advice on what to do about the SSN , I would be grateful. I keep getting sent to the same places to “learn more” about protecting my identity rather than reporting something. Nothing fishy has happened with my credit or bank account yet, but I don’t know what to do if they just keep my SSN?
Anyways, I hope this alerts some people and I don’t wanna hear it about how dumb I am, I know, trust me.

Fresh out the exam center - some thoughts
Background: I graduated from a T5 school in terms of NAPLEX pass rates and was slightly above average during school. I started studying for real around February by solving some RXPrep question banks. I wrote down new stuff I learned from Marked questions. Wax and wane in terms of amount of prep throughout the months but finished all the question bank + read through the book + made notes and had some time for review. Bulk of the prep was done close to exam date. I started early because I felt very not confident about my clinical knowledge + didn’t work outside of school requirements so I thought I needed more studying. I think this is all improtant to disclose because everyone around you and online come from different backgrounds and academic so you shouldn’t take THEIR words for YOUR prep. In the end, I don’t think there is a world where I fail and I don’t think I overstudied. I don’t regret a thing about how I studied because it definitely caused me less anxiety and frankly, I think it’s very valuable to review everything you learned in school before you go out to the real world.
In terms of exam content, i agree with the sentiment to NOT focus on so called heavy hitter subjects (onc, ID). I think I got 1-2 onc questions and relatively easy ID questions (~5 or so?). That being said, I think it’s really important to understand general spectrum of ID drugs. The exam covered a lot and had some niche questions. I really can’t pinpoint chapters that was most focused on. This is why I think a repeated broad review is more important than targeted memorization. I solved a good chunk of questions based on my experience, not my prep.
Brand names

• Brand names overall were pretty reasonable. Some I’ve never heard of but didn’t matter too much. I recommend knowing HIV and asthma brand names pretty well. Got both of them on the exam and i unfortunately got the asthma one wrong. Combo products more important than brand name of individual component.

Calculations - Also reasonable. Nothing crazy and most questions had simple calculations in terms of numbers. I would recommend being very comfortable with CrCl calculations as there were a lot of questions where you needed to calculate to make the correct call.
Compounding - More focus on actual compounding rather than date focused. But all in all, pretty fair. I didn’t know some questions but should still know this section pretty well.
Some memorable questions - Statin dose conversion - Anticoagulant dosing - PVG incompatibility - Hypersensitivity - Supplements - Biostatistics tests, OR calculation - Bacteria morphology + important bugs - Anti arrhythmic drugs - TNFa brand names - CF question ! Peds ! - Migraine triptan
I can also confirm or deny if a specific topic was on my exam. Happy to answer any questions.

Im here because i need a non-biased opinion. my friends all agree with me but i cant tell if thats just because they are my friends. My younger brother is only 13 years old but for my entire life of knowing him he's been manipulative and a total attention seeker. anytime we fight, even about small stuff its blown way out of proportion. He's constantly losing and gaining friends. He makes friends super easily because he's very charming, but he'll start to lie and spread rumors just when everything's finally stable and then he'll hop to another friend group and play victim. He's also the most manipulative person i know, he's constantly sucking up to people but only when it benefits him. The final thing that made me lose all faith in him was in 6th grade, he beat up this boy in his PE class, he said it was because the kid SA'd him (he's trans, not sure if that matters), and he reported it to the principal, but there was footage proving otherwise. I dont even know what to do, i dont even love him anymore, i'm so sick of him manipulating everyone and getting away with it.
The other thing he'll do is fake suicidal ideation & self harm anytime things dont go his way (like when my parents take away his phone or stuff)
Im not asking for a diagnoses, just some advice or answers really

I know nc it's for our own benefit, but let's face it, most of us have at some point hold out hope of the ex coming back.
after all the, days,months, tears, the early morning awakenings, the struggle to eat, breathe, function, the hope, it comes a point where it feels like you're a pressure cooking pot.
I think that if you reach out, you'll get an answer or not.
If you get no answer you can finally know that they're gone and it makes it easier to let it go.
Going to cry anyway, so you might as well go in for it and just do it.

Apparently, all of the teachers in the building don’t realize their students have five other classes with finals because the same goes for all of my friends.
Here’s a little list of all the assignments I have to complete in the next 5 days. Keep in mind, I haven’t been to three of my classes in almost a week because we’ve had 5 straight days of state and AP testing.
Pre-calculus: 88-question review packet and a final exam
Choir: performance tonight, performance on the last day of school with our percussion ensemble, and a performance at graduation
AP Lang: an essay, a speech, and an actual final exam
Physics: 120-question review packet and a final exam
Creative Writing: a portfolio with a decorated cover, a reflection, table of contents, and abstract for every single piece in there, plus an extra poetry assignment
APUSH: final presentation and a final exam with a 75-question, open-ended study guide
I’m not saying I’m gonna jump off a bridge but I’ve never understood the urge more.

Hello, quick rant lang.
Di ko na alam gagawin para sa sem na to. Ang funny isipin kasi sa GE pa ako nahirapan. Umabsent absent naman din kasi ako kaya kaunti lang notes ko. Pagod na pagod na ko hindi ko alam san ako dapat magsimula. Kanina ko pa sinusubukan mag-aral pero walang pumapasok sa isip ko, may exam ako bukas at 10, wala pa sa kalahati yung nabasa ko.
May Final Speech din ako bukas, I'm actually confident with the content but natatakot ako dahil alam kong kakabahan ako.
It also doesn't help na medyo na harass ako kagabi at ang sakit ng braso ko, tapos sya rin yung topic ng speech ko hahahaha putangina. Okay naman ako nung mga nakaraang araw, pero bc of what happened yesterday, nabulok lang ako sa higaan ko halos buong araw kanina. Mag 4 na nung bumangon aako
Di ko alam pano ko mairaraos itong mga exam weeks. Nahihiya ako sa sarili ko hahahaha GE lang to tapos hirap na hirap ako, tbf ayoko naman kasi ng Philo topics. Di ko na alam gagawin ko, di ko alam pano ako mag eexam nang nasa gantong state, di ko alam pano ko idedeliver nang maayos final speech ko.
Di ko na alam gagawin, I'm so lost. Dapat bang ipa INC ko tong course na to? Naka kalahati lang ako sa first LE, hindi pa ako sure bukas. Tapos may third LE pa.
Grabe talaga no hahaha maliit na bagay lang yung nangyari sakin pero walang wala na talaga akong pag-asa ngayon. Parang nung isang araw lang, pinapalakas ko pa loob ko para mag continue pero ngayon tangina, fuck it. Bagsak na kung bagsak
Us2 q n madeds tbh fr fr xoxo mbtc tc yw ty,,

Hi, it's Stads again covering OU usage trends in April 2024. This is some form of a follow-up to my post last month here (https://www.reddit.com/stunfisk/comments/1bw1732/ou_usage_trends_march_2024/), where I discussed the 5 pokemon with the greatest usage differential between the general population elo bracket and the 1825+ elo bracket in the March 2024 stats. For this month, the stats are sourced from https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-04/ . This time, I'll cover both the top 5 increases in usage and the top 5 decreases in usage between the two brackets. Let's start off with the increases!

1. Zamazenta (9.79% vs 23.87%, +14.09%)

Zama just keeps taking off in usage, climbing to 2nd overall in usage in the 1825+ bracket and dethroning the elephant last month. Like last month, I suspect Zama is simply an extremely solid pokemon that both checks and fits well into offensive structures. Month-over-month, I see that a novel spread of Impish 16/0/216/0/40/236 has taken over the 1825+ elo bracket this month, albeit only a small plurality at 12.142%. This spread makes it quite a bit more physically bulky while speed creeping Roaring Moon, a key opposing mon for Zama to check. However, this is at the cost of no longer outspeeding key threats like Weavile, Darkrai, and +1 Dragonite. There's been some shifting in which moves Zama is running as well, with Crunch becoming slightly less mandatory, Roar and Heavy Slam becoming more popular, and Substitute falling off quite a bit. I suspect the very standard Sub IronPress Zama simply has been adequately adapted to, and these shifts reflect Zama adjusting to deal with opposing setup sweepers and fairies a bit better.

2. Kingambit (24.50% vs 36.72%, +12.22%)

Another repeat performer, Kingambit continues to be a popular pokemon in all elo brackets but especially the 1825+ region. While most of SV OU continues to adapt and proliferate new strategies, Kingambit seems to be a more locked-in constant, with no new sets, spreads, or moves especially rising in popularity. Leftovers, Black Glasses, and Air Balloon continue to be the main trifecta of used items, and while most sets seem to be Adamant and investing in bulk, running Jolly and max speed retains a solid niche. It remains to be seen if anything can really knock Kingambit from its perch in the coming months, or if we've reached a stable equilibrium.

3. Glimmora (12.23% vs 20.26%, +8.03%)

Finally, a new face! The favoured lead for many Hyper Offensive teams in SV OU since the beginning, Glimmora had a great month in April, coming in at 6th in usage in the 1825+ bracket. Month-over-month, Glimmora has remained markedly stable in how it's used, but the 1825+ bracket loves Red Card quite a bit more, at 41.295% compared to to 15.172% in the general population. I suspect this is because Red Card can be tricky to use, requiring some prediction to be best used in displacing an opposing setup sweeper while switching into an attack that won't OHKO Glimmora. I wonder if much of this usage was pre-Volcarona ban, with how reliably Glimmora could take a fire-type attack from the moth and get rid of all its terrifying boosts. I'm a little surprised that Glimmora has thrived with the emergence of Fast Taunt Landorus-Therian with Earth Power, but perhaps Hyper Offensive teams have simply adapted and are now finding other leads that can adequately threaten Lando.

4. Roaring Moon (13.17% vs 21.04%, +7.87%)

Salamence's prehistoric cousin has been terrifying since it was unbanned with the advent of DLC2, but it continues to really come into its own. A ludicrously strong Knock Off can not only be leveraged to sweep teams but also break open cores for teammates to later abuse, and its typing and natural bulk gives Roaring Moon the ability to often find openings against mons like Gholdengo and Gliscor. Everyone agrees that Roaring Moon runs Booster Energy, Dragon Dance, Knock Off, and Acrobatics (with tera flying), but while the general population seems to enjoy Earthquake and then Taunt for that last moveslot, the 1825+ bracket has a mild preference for Taunt, with Brick Break narrowly edging Earthquake as the runner-up. I'm not positive whether this is more of a niche tool against screens or just the best option available against the ubiquitous Kingambit, but it's an interesting development that's only really taken off this month. As an aside, I'm quite surprised that Tera Flying + Acrobatics has persisted as not only the premier tera option for Roaring Moon, but realistically, the only option. Flying is an extremely good offensive type with few fat electrics around, but I'm a bit surprised that no specialized counter-teras have developed for Moon to beat some of its established checks such as Weavile and Dondozo.

5. Clefable (5.63% vs 13.32%, +7.69%)

This one did surprise me. While the happy pink blob (no, the other one) continues to fly largely under the radar amongst the general population, it's experiencing a breakout in the 1825+ bracket. I suspect this is because post-Volcarona ban, the metagame has gotten slightly fatter despite the presence of Waterpon and Kyurem, and Clefable fits excellently into many fat structures. Magic Guard is an amazing ability always, but especially in a hazard meta, and also makes Clefable one of SV OU's two premier knock absorbers alongside Gliscor. The support movepool is just as good as ever with Thunder Wave, Stealth Rock, Knock Off, Wish healer, and Calm Mind wincons all quite viable. Magic Guard and the prevalence of booster energy also makes Clefable an excellent user of Sticky Barb, which can attach itself to mons post-booster like Great Tusk and Roaring Moon, easily dooming their sweeps. The general population acknowledges this set with 13.93% Sticky Barb usage, but the 1825+ bracket expects it, with Sticky Barb as the #1 used item at 43.833%. The general population also seems to enjoy specially defensive Clefable sets quite a bit more - perhaps to better deal with Kyurem, albeit in a very risky way - while the 1825+ bracket leans into the Sticky Barb with physically defensive sets being ubiqutious. While Clefable has exploded in popularity, it does seem to be only on balance and fatter team comps, with its most common teammates being Gliscor (completing the knock absorption perimeter), Corviknight, Dragapult, Great Tusk, and Dondozo. If Clefable gets more usage on offensive teams, it'll truly be a sign that the SV OU meta has at long last started to slow down.
I'll also go over the 5 pokemon with the greatest usage drop between the general population and 1825+ bracket. If you see your favourites here, don't necessarily worry - they may still have realistic niches to fill on OU teams! But it is still good to analyze why certain pokemon will be favoured or disfavoured in certain environments.

1. Serperior (6.58% vs 1.44%, -5.14)

This is hardly a surprise anymore. While Serperior will have a certain floor of usage due to it's status as a starter pokemon and the allure of the Contrary + Leaf Storm combo, it's simply too pidgeonholed to exist much in the 1825+ bracket. Tera Blast is used around 60% in both environments, though I'm very curious if they tend to use the same tera type or if there's some difference. The slight boon of having a great matchup into Webs has also faded a bit as that playstyle has fallen off slightly, and with Rillaboom, Waterpon, and Grasspon providing plenty of grass-type attacking prowess, it seems unlikely Serperior will find a niche even with the exit of Volcarona. The real discussion is how Serperior will fare in UU come the June tier shifts, with many great answers such as Hydrapple and Tornadus-Therian seemingly poised to handle it.

2. Corviknight (10.69% vs 6.00%, -4.69%)

I'm not 100% sure why Corviknight remains popular amongst the general population while sliding in the 1825+ tier. It might be due to Lando-T taking its spot as a pivot, it might be because it simply doesn't wall things as hard as it wants to. Mirror Armor has a sizeable fanbase among the general population at 32.949%, but the 1825+ bracket practically ignores it at just 3.263% usage. In both environments, Corv is very predominantly physically defensive to better deal with threats such as Kingambit, SD Gliscor, and Roaring Moon. One absurd data point - Roost only has 90.999% usage in the general population. Is this a typo? Are there really 9% of people who don't use Roost on Corvinkight? I imagine even cheesy sets like Bulk Up + Power Trip would be running Roost. I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, and I suspect that looking too far into it will only induce madness.

3. Torkoal (6.91% vs 2.50%, -4.41%)

Torkoal is generally used to provide sunlight for Sun teams, but is rarely also run on trick room teams with Choice Specs to nuke everything with Eruption. Sun, among other 'gimmicky' Hyper Offense styles such as Webs, Trick Room, and other weathers, tend to be a bit less reliable up in the 1825+ bracket where teams are more sturdily built and nuking everything with force generally won't go quite as far. So it checks out that everyone's favourite sun turtle would get a bit more usage amongst the general population.

4. Cinderace (9.82% vs 6.13%, -3.70%)

Cinderace getting less usage in the 1825+ bracket represents the continuation of a philosophical shift to the hazard subgame. Hazards have been very difficult to remove conventionally this entire generation due to Gholdengo blocking most forms of removal. This means that previously, Cinderace having unblockable psuedo-removal in Court Change was an excellent workaround. Now however, offensive teams generally prefer to have their own hazards up and simply try to limit how many hazards get set up on their side of the field with tools like Fast Taunt Lando as well as the popularity of Glimmora and its Mortal Spin. I expect the general population will gradually catch up to this trend over time, though with Cinderace being a starter - and one banned in previous generations at that - it likely has a bit higher floor of usage than it would in a vacuum. I also note that the 1825+ bracket seems to try Blaze Cinderace a bit more, 26.526% vs 16.816%, with Blaze taking Pyro Ball from a very good attack to one that can really dent even bulkier mons.

5. Garchomp (4.18% vs 0.81%, -3.38%)

Another Pokemon whose general popularity is probably carrying it to decent usage among the general population, while the 1825+ bracket has moved on. It's slightly strange to me that SD + Scale Shot Garchomp sets have been completely absent from the meta, but perhaps that niche is simply not compelling enough with Roaring Moon, Gouging Fire, Kyurem, and even Haxorus as physically-attacking Dragon-type alternatives. What usage Chomp does get in 1825+ seems to be confined entirely to defensive hazard sets, with Rocky Helmet, Dragon Tail, and at least 1 hazard. But even in this use case, it's hard to find a real niche when Ting-Lu, Deoxys-Speed, Glimmora, and other great offensive hazard setters exist. I won't go so far as to say it's completely Garchover, but it may take a large meta shift on the back of a ban or two for Garchomp to find true OU usage again.
I hope this was an enjoyable follow-up to the previous post. Feedback is appreciated, let me know if I've missed anything this time!
