2024.05.14 10:00 Melanin211 Is civil engineering good for females?

Opinion please women in STEM. I just got done with my 12th grade and I'm thinking about which engineering course I want. So, I seem to be interested in civil engineering and that's one course that I have a fair chance of getting in one of the top 10 institutions in India. I'll most prolly do PG abroad as well.
So now to the issue, I've so many people discouraging me saying it's man's work basically hard work, the job opportunities are slim and the pay is much lower. But the biggest issue they have is they say it's hard work and I wouldn't be able to survive in it. Both my parents are doctorates in electrical engg and are professors in a Gulf country, he sent me a pic last week showing two female civil students mixing cement mixture in the afternoon sun saying is this what you wanna do šŸ’€ I'm like uhh yes? But seriously I'm doubting myself now.
I mean, this is the only field that really intrigues me and I think is fun. I love computer as well but I wouldn't get it in any good college and pretty much every other friend of mine is studying that so that's out. And about pay and opportunities, yes the pay is kinda bad in India but I see people in the Gulf earning well in this industry and almost all the countries here are coming up with huge new construction projects every other month so I don't see the industry falling that easily. And tbh, my salary isn't the biggest deal, nobody except me is dependenton it, I just want to do smtng I like.
Now I want the opinion of women who are working in civil industry or have friends who do. Is it really that hard? Should I change my stream and just do circuital branches? And is there an option desk jobs in civil engineering?
Much love to everyone who interacts with this post and helps me out ā¤

2024.05.14 09:59 MoeTacos Need advice on an exhaust for my new FL5!

With just under 30 miles on the odometer, I'm dying for a new exhaust already. I came from a Focus ST '16 with an FSWERKS stealth exhaust and I def miss the sound. I'm really eyeing the A'PEX-i N1 for the FL5, or the AWE Track/Touring.
I like the deeper and 'refined' tone as heard in some videos of the A'PEX-i and what the valve controller can offer in terms of being loud when I want it. -- Also I LOVE the burnt tips and it's one of those legendary JDM brands that go hand in hand with JDM builds, especially a Civic. Kinda much for an exhaust, considering AWE is less than half the price thereabouts.
On the other hand, I think the AWE Track Edition seems like an amazing value, and I like the clips I've seen/heard of this exhaust. Worried that it might be regrettably loud, or be too much fart-cannon like. -- Also no burned tip option!
So what do you guys think? Are there any other exhaust I should consider? Sound is obviously important but I would love an burned tip look! Thanks in advance and I'll be posting some new fresh-off-the-lot pics soon!

2024.05.14 09:59 TyeTenna Reliant Kore / Tana Questions

Hi all, I recently upgraded my starter ship to the Reliant Kore and have a few questions.
  1. When I was first looking into the ship, I was told that both wing tips could be operated by the co-pilot, but even when there's a turret on each side, the co-pilot is only given access to one side. Am I misunderstanding how it works or is this intended?
  2. I was also considering looking at the Tana as a possible upgrade. I wanted to see other people's opinions on giving up the extra cargo room in exchange for amenities and a (hopefully working) gun rack + armor locker(?). Me and my co-pilot like to run a variety of missions, delivery, light salvage, maintenance, and are possibly looking into trying out combat in the future. Would you guys say that the Tana would be a good upgrade, or is sticking with the Kore and the extra room a better shot?
Thanks everyone!

2024.05.14 09:59 Affectionate-Talk-45 Big future updates or consistent flow of content?

Just wondering what everyones opinion on the rate of dlc and such. Would you prefer large seasonal warbonds (every 3 months or so) that comes with rebalancing and content with patches and war progess just like it is?
Or do you guys like a warbond every month with a sprinkling of content and patches in between?
Imo a warbond every month probably isnt sustainable and the devs are gonna get burnt out after like a year or so. Plus it really seems like each new warbond is received with criticism rather than excitement. (I totally get being underwhelmedand disappointed in paying for mediocre dlc). Maybe they've not got the time to do extensive playtesting or something.
Giving them time to cook may even result in better armohelmet perks and we could even cut down on buggy and unbalanced guns.
That's my two cents. I really think slowing down will add to the games longevity and i really hope to be playing this game for years to come. What do you guys think?

2024.05.14 09:58 Galact123 I finished prison school, it was a really fun ending

It felt like a true prison school ending, and fit the theme throughout the Manga, that the Manga isn't serious, it's all just fun and jokes from the start to beginning.
The only serious vibes i got was between andre and Risa
And of course Kiyoshi and Hana was a real relationship that 100% went together in the future, they fit each other too perfectly.
Chiyo was that one girl you had in school that was kind towards you, so you thought the feelings you had for her was love
But it's just lies you tell yourself because you're desperate towards the only opposite gender person that is friendly.
We have to remember in the end they are 15-16 year olds, stupid, horny, don't know shit. You get to know people through spending time and sharing experiences and Im guessing from my memory Hana and Kiyoshi did spend more time and experiences than Chiyo and Kiyoshi.
The amount of chapters Hana showing her feelings felt more real and endgame than Chiyo, I was literally confused chapter 276 there's no way Chiyo and Kiyoshi is endgame. (thank god chapter 277 exists)
I feel like this whole Manga was just an exaggeration of puberty, friendship and school life.
If you guys didn't notice my personal favorite character was Hana, everytime she showed up you knew it was gonna be a good time, fun, maybe a bit horny, but fun chapters.
then Joe, Gakuto loved their bond especially with the Yaoi arc, that got my laughing and crying tears.
and Kiyoshi 4th place. Main character we spend the most time with, kinda hard to dislike?, plus I can relate to most of the stuff he's done
Now this is all my opinion, you can agree or disagree, but i enjoyed this manga alot and i really feel connected to the characters. 9/10
Only reason why not 10/10, didn't see Hana and Kiyoshi together or a time skip. But it's expected because it's not a romance manga

2024.05.14 09:57 Stillstandingknight Looking to switch industries while making 6 figures. Any advice?

Hey, Iā€™m a 26 single male looking to make a career switch. Iā€™m currently working in the telecom sales and making little over $100,000 a year, been doing it since the last 5 years but getting fed up with the politics and toxic environment at the work place, my manager feels jealous of me and always picking on me and there are always dramas in the store where people are stealing your sales, back bitting etc. So I wanna try something high ticketing because I know I can do better, I put my heart and soul in everything I do and thatā€™s why I succeed so much. Iā€™m the top sales person of my region in the company. Got a house on my own a few years ago and thatā€™s why leaving the current job feels scary, I donā€™t think I can start making the same amount of money by working on a salaried job. Im also working another full time job which is remote just for the sake of having a backup plan as I donā€™t wanna rely on just one job when Iā€™ve debts to pay. So Iā€™ve been grinding two full time jobs since the last 5 years and my body canā€™t take it no more. Been a lot stressed recently because of the mortgaging as I donā€™t have anybody to support me financially but me. My mental health is deteriorating due to my manager whoā€™s always bulling and threatening me indirectly. Iā€™m really good at what Iā€™m doing but I think I can do a lot better and have better rewards if I put in the same amount of effort and time in a different industry. Iā€™m also preparing for the mortgage sales person exam so I can get my feet in the mortgage industry while working my full time job. Please share different industries I can succeed in. I would really appreciate your outputs. Thanks so much

2024.05.14 09:57 MMOLater Amazon became trash?

Amazon became trash?
HOW AMAZON BECAME TRASH Let me explain everything how its started. I purchased SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey OLED G9 in January and after 3 month Its get screen problem. Since Im was using this monitor as main one I couldnt used warranty (its would take a lots of time) so I find local repair store and they asked me 200$ for it. Iv contacted amazon and since monitor was 3 month purchase they couldn't refund money so they offered me coupons for 200$ and I accepted. I spent my own 200$ to repair monitor and I got coupon on amazon store. Everything looks nice right? Remember this coupons was not kind surprise gift from amazon. I spent my own money and I got coupons for that. After that May 9, 2024 I bought Elgato Stream Deck MK. for 130$ from that coupons Its had to delivered Friday May 10. I was wait it for today May 14 and its still didn't delivered. I contacted support and asked them where is my item show me proof of delivery. They accept that item lost and offered me options for replacement or refund. First I asked replacement but they told me they cant replacement it so they will refund it. OK Lets refund right? Sure 00.00$ :D why? because item was full covered by coupon and they couldn't refund coupon. Than guy offered me he could refund 3 month of prime like 45$ and gift me 10$ coupon. Really? I lost 130$ and they want me to buy for 55$ compensation? after I asked to talk me with manager he transferred me with this guy Jo . He asked me if I had orders last 60 days he could refund one of them for expectation as compensation But I had no order last 60 days . So he starts to avoided problem and take me away . Here is rest conversation and screens. I lost 130$ and I lost 2h for this problem
Its means that Amazon such huge company never thought what would be the deam option if you give some one coupon and when you purchase item from that coupon maybe its will lost or will have a problem. So they dont have solution for this? Im i in Billion 1 case or what the hell?

2024.05.14 09:56 WaitForDivide I can't seem to get an unlimited ticket for those "new" recliner screens...

As you're probably all aware, those ViP screens all shut down last week. It seems my nearest Cineworld - Glasgow Renfrew St - has already reopened those screens as Standard listings, with a little bit of text at the bottom of the listing reading 'Recliner' right next to '2D.'
In the app, whenever I try to book a screening for The Fall Guy in one of those ex-ViP screens, I'm only able to pay the full 10.99 price, rather than the Ā£3 uplift.
I haven't yet tried via my laptop, but is anyone else having this issue?

WHAT YOU GET?

Part #1:The Subtle Art Of Superior Mindset ā€“ How To Conquer Self-Sabotage, Blast Past Old Limiting Beliefs, And Show Up Aligned And Ready To Win!

Have you ever felt that, no matter how sincerely you consciously wanted to win, another part of you was holding you back?
When it comes to selling, have you ever had what seemed to start out as a really good day where you were performing at your best, only to then find yourself backsliding into old, stuck patterns that made you wind up feeling defeated?
In short, have you ever had those days where despite all your ā€œpositive thinkingā€, pumping yourself up, and getting into peak states, something you couldnā€™t quite put your finger on made you drop the ball at the one-yard line?
Well, you can kiss those days goodbye forever, using the proven and powerful methods in this section that will teach you:
  • A simple, 3-word phrase that 100% defuses and erases any and all limiting beliefs (I know this seems an impossible, even BAT-SH*T crazy claim, but once you put this into use and see how powerful it truly is, youā€™ll be thankful you allowed yourself to believe me)
  • How to avoid the ONE word that will guarantee you keep reprogramming yourself for failure ā€“ and what to replace it with instead
  • Secrets of ā€œOwnership Languageā€ ā€“ these three words will supercharge your motivation and keep you in unstoppable motion
  • The RFM Principle ā€“ how to use the ā€œoperating systemā€ of the unconscious mind to ensure you show up congruent, aligned, and fully ready to win
  • And a lot more in perhaps the most innovative, original, and completely revolutionary part of this training

Part #2:Foundations For Your Fortune: The 4 Gold-Key Secrets That Power Your Subtle Selling $uper Succe$$

Listen: Iā€™m first to admit, this training will give you word-for-word, fully-fleshed-out phrases and ā€œmini-scriptsā€ you can immediately use to see your cash flow take some nice jumps.
But, as with any set of tools, if you know what they are designed to do, their power and precision increases exponentially.
Thatā€™s why this section of your training is crucial.
In it, youā€™ll learn:
  • No matter what your industry or profession, you are ALWAYS selling first, and what it will cost you if you donā€™t
  • How to conquer the one ā€œkill-the-saleā€ obstacle you must overcome if you really want to crush your numbers
  • No, itā€™s NOT lack of rapport, or ā€œknow, like, and trustā€, or any of the traditional bullcrap explanations
  • The two top questions you must ask yourself before every pitch, presentation, or meeting that will wildly increase your odds of making the sale, before you even open your mouth (I know, I know: this one sounds especially batBLEEP crazy, but once you get this, it will bring you a massive increase in your sales)
  • The jaw-dropping secret to get your prospect to feel instantly understood, respected, and eager to be led, without you stating a single fact, specific, or data point about your product or service

Part #3:How To Double Or Triple The Effectiveness And Bottom Line Results Of Your Sales Presentations (Across Any Platform)

Hereā€™s where the rubber really hits the road as I present the ā€œbuilding blockā€ tools and word for word, ā€œmini-scriptsā€ that will powerfully get your prospects to convince themselves to buy so you close your deals in record time at record numbers!
Youā€™ll learn:
  • How to leverage a simple 3-word phrase that unconsciously triggers your prospects to ā€œimpulse buyā€ even when you are moving high-ticket products and services (Hint: you do this to yourself every time you fall in love or find yourself reaching for that refrigerator door without even knowing youā€™re doing it. What, oh what could it be????)
  • Two simple tools that awaken your prospectā€™s child-like desire to believe you, BEFORE you give any facts, figures, or numbers
  • How To ā€œpre-seedā€ your prospects for a friction-free close in the first 5 minutes of your conversation
  • And a hell of a lot more in this mind-blowing section that will leave you reeling!

Part #4:The Subtle Art Of Smashing Objections: How To Increase Your Sales And Closings By Up To An Additional 15-20% With The Power Of Verbal ā€œJiu-Jitsuā€

For many of us in sales, objections can be a last minute, even shocking ā€œdeal killerā€.
Youā€™ve established rapport.
Youā€™ve asked your qualifying questions.
Youā€™ve done your presentation of your ā€œmarketing planā€ and think youā€™ve got it all wrapped.
Then, suddenly, like a (metaphor) the client/prospect/customer whips out that BS excuse, smokescreen, or stall.
In this section of your training, Iā€™m going to teach you how to verbally ā€œflipā€ that stuff on its head and get your prospects to powerfully talk themselves out of their objections.
In essence, youā€™ll be able to instantly transmute the reason they state they canā€™t buy ā€“ into the reason they MUST buy.
(Truly, this is by far the most fun section of the training ā€“ many of my students report they have to bite their cheeks from laughing when they see this stuff working in the real world.)
You will learn:
  • When and how you MUST break rapport, and even shock your prospect past their objections
  • How to use counter-examples to create virtual objection amnesia ā€“ by far the most fun of all the fun methods this section teaches
  • How to use ā€œIllusion Of Agreementā€ to devastate the ā€œIā€™ve Got To Talk To My Spouseā€ objection
  • How to use ā€œMeaning Reframesā€ to transform ā€œFee Negotiatorsā€ into willing clients who pay you what youā€™re worth
  • And much, much more in this power-packed, super-enjoyable section that will turn you into an objection crushing machine!

2024.05.14 09:55 cirzuu psychiatrist - Help..?

Hello, Today I will gather my courage and go to see a psychiatrist. I often read that PVCs are often triggered by stress, and sometimes I think I'm in an anxiety spiral. I think about them immediately upon waking up, feel each one of them, and sometimes count my PVCs for hours.
Sometimes I have 3-4 per minute over a long period, then I get bigeminy when I try to exercise, so I don't exercise anymore. My heart has been examined by MRI, echo, multiple EKGs. Two EPs and three cardiologists tell me my heart looks good, my burden is between 1-6% per day. I had an ablation 4 months ago, unfortunately the PVCs were only gone for 2 weeks and came back.
In addition, I have PVCs with different appearances, 2-3 morphologies, but 98% are always the same every day.
If I get medication for calming or against the fear of them today, I don't know... I'm afraid they might get worse because of it... the medications also have some side effects...
Are there actual reports that it really helped? I don't know what else to try...

Differences Between Flat Horse Racing and Hurdle Horse Racing

Introduction

Horse racing is a sport steeped in tradition, excitement, and a rich history. Two primary disciplines dominate the scene in horse racing: flat racing and hurdle racing. While both share similarities regarding the equine athletes and the adrenaline-fueled competition, they also boast distinct characteristics that set them apart. This comprehensive guide delves into the nuances and differences between flat horse racing and hurdle horse racing, offering insights into their rules, strategies, and appeal to enthusiasts worldwide.
https://preview.redd.it/3n7axzmilc0d1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f141aa38182c1958190731e114f22710b5e114f

Understanding Flat Horse Racing:

Flat horse racing, often called thoroughbred racing, is arguably the most popular and widely recognized form of racing globally. This discipline involves horses running on a flat, level track, typically ranging from 5 furlongs to 2 miles in distance. The primary objective of flat racing is straightforward: horses compete to cross the finish line first.

Characteristics of Flat Horse Racing:

  1. Speed and Agility: Flat racing emphasizes the raw speed and agility of the equine athletes. Depending on the race distance, horses are bred and trained specifically for their sprinting or stamina capabilities.
  2. Strategic Positioning: Jockeys play a crucial role in flat racing, employing pace-setting, drafting, and well-timed bursts of acceleration to secure a winning position.
  3. Variety of Race Types: Flat racing offers various races, including sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance events like marathons. Each race type presents unique challenges and opportunities for both horses and jockeys.
  4. Prestigious Events: The flat racing calendar is dotted with prestigious events, such as the Kentucky Derby, the Epsom Derby, and the Dubai World Cup. These races attract top-tier horses, jockeys, and spectators from around the globe, epitomizing the pinnacle of the sport.

Understanding Hurdle Horse Racing:

Hurdle horse racing, also known as jump racing or National Hunt racing, represents a thrilling alternative to flat racing. Unlike flat racing, which focuses on sheer speed, hurdle racing introduces obstacles in the form of hurdles or fences that horses must navigate during the race.
Characteristics of Hurdle Horse Racing:
  1. Test of Endurance and Jumping Ability: Hurdle racing adds an element of challenge by incorporating hurdles or fences into the course. Horses must jump over these obstacles while maintaining speed and momentum, testing their endurance and jumping ability.
  2. Technical Skill: Besides speed, hurdle racing rewards horses with superior jumping technique and agility. Negotiating obstacles efficiently and cleanly can make the difference between victory and defeat.
  3. Varied Course Terrain: Hurdle racing courses often feature varied terrain, including grass, turf, and sometimes even water jumps. This diversity adds a layer of complexity to the races, requiring horses to adapt to different surfaces and conditions.
  4. Longer Distances: While hurdle races can vary in distance, they typically cover longer distances than flat races. This emphasizes stamina and endurance, making strategic pacing and energy conservation essential for success.
  5. Thrilling Spectacle: The sight of horses thundering down the track and soaring over hurdles captivates spectators, making hurdle racing a thrilling and visually spectacular sport.
Critical Differences Between Flat and Hurdle Horse Racing:
  1. Track Surface: Flat racing is conducted on a smooth, level track surface, whereas hurdle racing occurs on courses with obstacles such as hurdles or fences.
  2. Racing Objectives: In flat racing, the primary objective is to cross the finish line first, whereas hurdle racing adds the challenge of navigating obstacles while maintaining speed.
  3. Equine Athlete Requirements: Flat racing emphasizes speed and agility, while hurdle racing requires horses with strong jumping ability, endurance, and technical skills.
  4. Jockey Tactics: Jockeys in flat racing focus on strategic positioning and acceleration, while those in hurdle racing must navigate obstacles and manage their horse's energy over longer distances.
  5. Spectator Appeal: Both disciplines offer unique thrills and excitement, appealing to different tastes among spectators. Flat racing showcases raw speed and competition, while hurdle racing adds an element of suspense and spectacle with its jumping challenges.

Introduction
Horse racing is a sport steeped in tradition, excitement, and a rich history. Two primary disciplines dominate the scene in horse racing: flat racing and hurdle racing. While both share similarities regarding the equine athletes and the adrenaline-fueled competition, they also boast distinct characteristics that set them apart. This comprehensive guide delves into the nuances and differences between flat horse racing and hurdle horse racing, offering insights into their rules, strategies, and appeal to enthusiasts worldwide.
Understanding Flat Horse Racing:
Flat horse racing, often called thoroughbred racing, is arguably the most popular and widely recognized form of racing globally. This discipline involves horses running on a flat, level track, typically ranging from 5 furlongs to 2 miles in distance. The primary objective of flat racing is straightforward: horses compete to cross the finish line first.
Characteristics of Flat Horse Racing:
  1. Speed and Agility: Flat racing emphasizes the raw speed and agility of the equine athletes. Depending on the race distance, horses are bred and trained specifically for their sprinting or stamina capabilities.
  2. Strategic Positioning: Jockeys play a crucial role in flat racing, employing pace-setting, drafting, and well-timed bursts of acceleration to secure a winning position.
  3. Variety of Race Types: Flat racing offers various races, including sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance events like marathons. Each race type presents unique challenges and opportunities for both horses and jockeys.
  4. Prestigious Events: The flat racing calendar is dotted with prestigious events, such as the Kentucky Derby, the Epsom Derby, and the Dubai World Cup. These races attract top-tier horses, jockeys, and spectators from around the globe, epitomizing the pinnacle of the sport.
Understanding Hurdle Horse Racing:
Hurdle horse racing, also known as jump racing or National Hunt racing, represents a thrilling alternative to flat racing. Unlike flat racing, which focuses on sheer speed, hurdle racing introduces obstacles in the form of hurdles or fences that horses must navigate during the race.
Characteristics of Hurdle Horse Racing:
  1. Test of Endurance and Jumping Ability: Hurdle racing adds an element of challenge by incorporating hurdles or fences into the course. Horses must jump over these obstacles while maintaining speed and momentum, testing their endurance and jumping ability.
  2. Technical Skill: Besides speed, hurdle racing rewards horses with superior jumping technique and agility. Negotiating obstacles efficiently and cleanly can make the difference between victory and defeat.
  3. Varied Course Terrain: Hurdle racing courses often feature varied terrain, including grass, turf, and sometimes even water jumps. This diversity adds a layer of complexity to the races, requiring horses to adapt to different surfaces and conditions.
  4. Longer Distances: While hurdle races can vary in distance, they typically cover longer distances than flat races. This emphasizes stamina and endurance, making strategic pacing and energy conservation essential for success.
  5. Thrilling Spectacle: The sight of horses thundering down the track and soaring over hurdles captivates spectators, making hurdle racing a thrilling and visually spectacular sport.
Critical Differences Between Flat and Hurdle Horse Racing:
  1. Track Surface: Flat racing is conducted on a smooth, level track surface, whereas hurdle racing occurs on courses with obstacles such as hurdles or fences.
  2. Racing Objectives: In flat racing, the primary objective is to cross the finish line first, whereas hurdle racing adds the challenge of navigating obstacles while maintaining speed.
  3. Equine Athlete Requirements: Flat racing emphasizes speed and agility, while hurdle racing requires horses with strong jumping ability, endurance, and technical skills.
  4. Jockey Tactics: Jockeys in flat racing focus on strategic positioning and acceleration, while those in hurdle racing must navigate obstacles and manage their horse's energy over longer distances.
  5. Spectator Appeal: Both disciplines offer unique thrills and excitement, appealing to different tastes among spectators. Flat racing showcases raw speed and competition, while hurdle racing adds an element of suspense and spectacle with its jumping challenges.

Conclusion:

In the dynamic world of horse racing, flat and hurdle racing stand out as two distinct disciplines, each with its own challenges, strategies, and appeal. Whether you're drawn to the lightning-fast pace of flat racing or the heart-pounding excitement of hurdle racing, there's no denying the passion and excitement both sports evoke among enthusiasts worldwide. By understanding the differences between flat and hurdle horse racing, spectators can deepen their appreciation for these majestic equine athletes' athleticism, skill, and sheer beauty as they compete for glory on the racetrack.

2024.05.14 09:55 throwra-3-5-9 My (28M) girlfriend (25F) accused me of stringing her along when I changed my mind about wanting children?

When my girlfriend and I got together one of the initial things we discussed were children. We both wanted two children in the future. We said we'd likely look to start a family when my girlfriend is in her early 30s (She was 23 when we discussed this and is 25 now, I am 28 now).
Since then we've been on a few holidays abroad and there's a long list of places we want to visit and there's a lot I want to experience. Obviously with work and money, we can't really do a lot of it each year. We're managing between 1 and 2 trips abroad each year (we live in the UK).
Recently I've been thinking about everything we said we want to do and experience and to tick everything off the list it will take a long time. I've also been thinking about the cost of living and while me and my girlfriend are in full time jobs, neither of them are highly paid.
My gfs job will never go above Ā£30k a year and minds will never go above Ā£45k. With paying for rent, bills, savings, holidays etc we don't have a lot left over at the end and having a child would likely be a struggle financially.
That doesn't seem as appealing to me as it did originally and I'd rather go down the list of places I want to visit and see as much of the world as possible. I told my girlfriend I wanted to talk and she asked what it was about.
I told her I no longer think I wanted children and told her the reasons mentioned above. She asked if I was sure and I said while I'm not 100% certain, I am still pretty sure.
She then asked what it meant for us and I said that obviously I'd love to do everything together but I know she wants children so it might mean it is the end for us.
She accused me of stringing her along and lying to her from the start about wanting children and trying to pressure her to stay and give up on the idea of having children which isn't true. She just kept repeating that I have been stringing her along and expecting her to give up on wanting children. How would you handle this?
tl;dr Originally my girlfriend and I said we wanted two children. Recently I've started doubting whether I want children at all for a few different reasons. When I told my girlfriend she accused me of stringing her along and lying to her and expecting her to change her mind about wanting children.

Book 9 for 2024: The Party Crasher by Sophie Kinsella
ā­ā­ā­
Spoilers Ahead
With a towering TBR pile, I often seek a light read to balance the load, and Sophie Kinsella's novels usually fit the bill perfectly. However, "The Party Crasher" turned out to be more than just a light read. It is a poignant reminder that families, despite their complexities and messiness, have an incredible ability to mend and emerge stronger.
"The Party Crasher" follows Effie, a young woman entangled in family strife and longing to retrieve a cherished childhood treasure ā€“ her Russian dolls ā€“ from her family's home before it's sold. Estranged from her father and his glamorous new girlfriend, Effie feels as though her family is irreparably broken. Motivated by nostalgia and a sense of urgency, she sneaks into the grand "house-cooling" party with the intention of quietly reclaiming her dolls, hoping to remain unnoticed.
However, Effie's straightforward plan quickly derails as she encounters unexpected situations and revelations. While navigating the familiar yet transformed corridors of her family home, evading curious guests, and hiding under tables, Effie overhears conversations and uncovers secrets that challenge her understanding of her loved ones and herself. This journey is further complicated by the presence of her two ex-boyfriends at the party, forcing her to confront past relationships and her own insecurities.
Throughout the night, Effie struggles with the fear of being caught, unsettling truths about her family, and her own sense of belonging. Sophie Kinsella expertly weaves a story of family discord, self-discovery, and the relentless pursuit of identity. With her signature humor and heart, Kinsella immerses readers in Effie's world, capturing the subtleties of human relationships and the complexities of identity.
"The Party Crasher" is an enchanting and relatable read that resonates with authenticity and warmth. Effie's journey highlights the intricacies of family dynamics and underscores the importance of acceptance, forgiveness, and self-assurance. With its engaging narrative and unforgettable characters, this novel will captivate readers from beginning to end, leaving them eagerly anticipating Kinsella's next literary adventure.
Here are a few memorable quotes from the book that touched my heart:
ā€¢ "Our family is shattered. Splintered into shards of glass. And no one will ever be able to put us back together."
ā€¢ "Maybe our family has changed shape. Maybe things arenā€™t exactly like they used to be. And maybe theyā€™ll be even more different in the future. But whatever happens, weā€™ll still be us."
ā€¢ "You canā€™t hold on to things just because of the memories."
ā€¢ "If life has taught me anything, itā€™s donā€™t ever assume. Nail it down. Get things clear."
ā€¢ "Everything inside me has shifted. Iā€™m stronger. Not only am I able to let go, Iā€™m happy to let go. Iā€™m focused on the future."
May you find a book that makes you treasure your family, filling your heart with joy and laughter once again.

2024.05.14 09:55 SLI_Mini The real winner of the 2024 VCT season: IGLs

If anything, this season has proved the importance of traditional, fully dedicated IGLs.

  1. By adding a traditional IGL, Sentinels went from a below-average team to winning a major.
  2. NRG (considered by most to be the most talented/experienced roster coming into 2024) are flopping. Why? They forced a non-IGL onto IGL (even if Ethan was vocal on past rosters). NRG's midrounding and calling have been so bad, proving that assembling a GIGANTIC amount of talent onto a roster doesn't work if you disregard the importance of HAVING A TRADITIONAL IGL.
  3. Consider the previous champs roster of 2023 EG. Out of all the players who left, the one whose new team is doing the best is Boosito, the IGL (now for 100t). c0m has been (arguably) the worst-performing player on Lev (who lost to 100T). Ethan and Demon1 are struggling individually on the IGL-less NRG (who lost to 100T). This highlights two things:
    1. The best IGLs make their teammates look better, leading to the IGL being undervalued/the other players being overvalued
    2. If you want to upgrade your team, upgrade your IGL.
  4. Even G2, a team that is showing consistent high-level performances, has a veteran, top-level IGL in Valyn.
We have seen time and time again that having no IGL or forcing someone onto the IGL role is detrimental: (e.g. NRG struggling this season, SEN struggling last season, PRX crumbling under pressure, etc.) THE BEST TEAMS ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST IGLS.

Ultimately the winner of the 2024 VCT season so far is: FNS

2024.05.14 09:54 PRSouthern Did I screw up? Is it all my fault? 9 years gone.

My ex gf (32F) and I (35M) broke up after 9 total years. Have I just made a huge mistake?
My ex gf (32F) and I (35M) broke up after 9 years. Have I made a giant mistake as result of my circumstances?
We were together 6 years. First year or two was all gravy. Then we started having fights and it got so bad at year 6 we split up. A year later we started hanging out lightly again and fell back in love. She moved back in. Things went well again for a while. 6 months ago or so things started to get bad again. We agreed to pursue couples counseling. This wasnā€™t very effective unfortunately, which has added to the hurt if that makes sense.
When we fight (or fought), and Iā€™m sort of ashamed to admit this, it bleeds into other areas of my life. Jobs were impacted. I felt like I didnā€™t have the energy to give due to the stress from constant arguing and intense arguing. My family relationships were sort of impacted because of the stress and constantly trying to seek out advice. Same with some friendships. Iā€™ve had certain friends and folks that have wanted us to see it end for years. ā€œBut hey what do they know? We know the situation best.ā€
The truth is this person IS one of the few people on this planet that I feel genuinely cared about me aside from family, and the ONLY girl Iā€™ve ever met who showed the kind of care and interest in me as she did. But we always seemed to be struggling to meet each otherā€™s needs. For years there was a theme of her feeling unappreciated and unloved. For me, we didnā€™t go out and enjoy life enough. We rarely or very infrequently interacted with each otherā€™s families. This frustrated me moreso vs her. Lots of my family is very local to me.
Look, I am not perfect and I am far from it. Iā€™ve been unemployed for a year. But I did use my CC and my retirement funds to pay my way. I never borrowed money and she was very supportive and ā€œcoolā€ with my not working while I contemplated the next career step. I had a bad ending with my last company where I had lost both my grandfathers very close to each other, one of them to a self inflicted gunshot wound. It def effected me.
Anyways, two months ago I started putting two honest feet forward. I started applying to jobs. Iā€™ve been exercising and have lost 10lbs in the last month alone, and down from 253 to 235 this year. I took on individual therapy a month ago even though I cannot afford it. Mostly to help get past prior work frustrations.
And then one day two weeks ago shit hit the fan with our relationship. Her feeling unappreciated and unloved for years and years culminated. She said she was done with couples counseling and I needed to fully focus on individual. This upset me. Things escalated, and we broke up.
I feel quit on. And betrayed. But I also feel past mistakes with work etc snowballed and she grew tired of insecurities I was expressing and complaining about regarding comparing to my working successful peers. In her words, she no longer knew how to offer support and felt unappreciated and unloved.
One thing that bugged me is we agreed to pursue individual therapy together at the recommendation of our couples counselor. She never got around to it. She blamed ā€œdelays in the Kaiser network.ā€
I feel I have pushed away and cut out someone special in my life. I am sad/numb. I fear this is just culmination of my mistakes and she grew tired of a ā€œloser.ā€
What happened? Did I simply mess up?
TLDR: 9 year relationship ended. We tried counseling. We both felt our needs werent met constantly to where counseling wasnt effective. She has a good heart. Feel like she genuinely cared about me but it seemed hard so often to go out casually or spend time with each otherā€™s families. She felt unappreciated and unloved, I felt betrayed when after acknowledging I needed to move forward in my life with career and fixing our relationship and putting two honest feet forward for the last 2 months and she quit when things escalated one day and we both felt wronged. Hard letting go. Feeling like I screwed up and this is all my fault and I just kind of suck at life?

2024.05.14 09:54 harrisonbrunson3 UPDATE: I finally beat Tate & Liza

UPDATE: I finally beat Tate & Liza
Holy shit finally. This is the hardest gym battle in emerald by far. I got super lucky this time because they kept avoiding my Cacturne and attacking my other PokĆ©mon/setting up calm mind and sunny day. My Cacturne wouldā€™ve been dead in one hit lmao.
Few takeaways: -led off with Cacturne and lombre bc they were two of my strongest PokĆ©mon and they were weak to claydolā€™s earthquake -starting the battle w lombre fake out was important bc it made me go first + xatu flinch and it enabled Cacturne to finish it with faint attack. If I just did faint attack w Cacturne they wouldā€™ve gotten a hyper potion off. -Only mistake is that I did needle arm instead of solar beam bc I wasnā€™t 100% sure solrock would lead with that but surf w lombre was able to finish it of anyway
Personal rankings of the strength of Tate & Lizaā€™s PokĆ©mon 1) Solrock 2) Xatu 3) Claydol 4) Lunatone
Let me know how I did!!
