Crazy Run with 1 Star Lillia

Crazy Run with 1 Star Lillia
Tldr; Lillia goes super sayan and decimates Thresh
I decided to try the Collector of Souls adventure with my 1 star Lillia since I just got her to level 20 and was trying out a new build with the guardian orb. I've been liking her since she came out and the ability to have two of them on the field to abuse the snooze into skirmishers blade. I really didn't think I was even going to complete it being a 1 star, especially with only getting the created card reduction to start, which is decent but not great, but again, wanted to test out the guardian orb on the centaur.
And then the luck started going out of control.
I didn't realize how strong the base build was. Guardian orb triggering more than once is already powerful, but when it goes off multiple times in a turn? Things get nutty. I'd often end up with the mana deposit item on Lillia, turning her into a buffing, killing, mana printer. Although things were still risky as they were getting settup, taking a lot of damage having to wait until turn 3 to start popping off.
These feeling of hope mixed with fear carried me through the first few fights, barely scraping through as each encounter felt if the dream team came a turn later, we were cooked. Then I lucked into the early smooth soloist, risking it over the shop and hoping for something, anything that could help me pull through against Tryndamere and his merry band of annoying unkillable clowns. There it is, sharing is caring. That is the game right there. Tyrndamere pack it up, you don't want to embarras yourself.
After I beat Tyrndamere and saw it. Evolution. The ultimate combo. We were going to go galactic on stats, especially with the sleeping dragon making sure new units got just as swole. Things couldn't get better, how can you improve on perfection? I'll tell you.
Power Riff for Lillia.
Oh such a simple thing, cheating out our monster turn 1 so that she can start devouring the opponent was the final nail in Thresh's coffin. No fear that the first few turns might put us too far behind or getting run over mid settup, only carnage. By turn 4 I was no longer trying to win, but see how high I could fly. The black cleaver double and doubled and doubled until Lillia reached her final form, a demon with 2147483647/2147483647. And scout. And double strike.
I stopped to wonder what I've created, a beast that obliterates itself over and over again in the pursuit of power, no longer the innocent forest dweller it once was. Have I defied God? Then I unleashed the final blow, an attack so destructive Goku showed up to challenge Lillia to a fight

2024.05.15 09:32 EssayCareful8374 Tips on soreness after a long break

Hello 👋 I just recently started taking lessons again after an 11 year break, I have decided to change disciplines from dressage to huntejumper with the hopes to eventually get into eventing. I found a lovely trainer that works great for me- strict but very patient and happy to remind me that I’m not riding dressage every 30 seconds like I need since I’m fighting old instinct. However, I am struggling with the soreness for almost the full week between lessons and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips besides walking it out and stretching that help out?
I know it’ll stop happening soon between weekly lessons and keeping up with going to the gym 3x a week like I usually do just adjusting my workout split, but man this is killer and I am definitely not a spring chicken anymore 😂

2024.05.15 09:30 KrizzyPeezy I 30M been usually finding people like 22F in PH online who fall in love with me the more I don't talk? And gets mad if I don't say "I love you?" Even though I stated clearly I am not their BF and no feelings.

I was making friends with a girl 22F from the Philippines in an app where you meet global friends. I am 30M. It's not really for dating but it can be. She 22F told me she recently broke up with a guy she hates because he cheated on her with other women and assumes every guy is like that.
In the first time we video called as friends which was the first day I talked to her after moving apps, her mother randomly grabbed her phone and ended up talking to me. I was being nice and respectful and then the mother was like "where do you live? What do you do? Can I see what your house looks like?" I told her it's very late it's 4am it's very dark I can't right now I'm about to sleep. Blah
After I responded with those questions a bit nervously, the mother stopped talking and she told her mom that I'm just her friend. After that I got turned off from that... I told the girl that it was pretty rude and that I don't like that.
Then after that she been calling me cute and handsome in tagalog non-stop. Her moms been asking about me a lot too. She been talking to me like I'm her boyfriend and future husband. I'm just her friend and I keep telling her that I don't have feelings for her. I barely talk to her yet she fills my dm's with messages iloveyou iloveyou iloooooveyouuuuu and paragraphs saying how much she'll wait for me to fall in love with her and that she is willing to wait to meet me. She doesn't even know what she wants to do in life and doesn't even go to school.. which makes it even harder because there's no way I'm going to meet her soon. I am not able to go there either. She said her mother is controlling her saying that she doesnt want her to go to school and in the phone call that day her mom said "shes staying here" even though I didn't say anything. Keep in mind I'm an introvert so I didnt ask anything to the mom. Lol
After that I haven't been speaking much but slowly less and less each day so she will probably lose interest. I just only want to be friends...
She told me she doesn't do anything right now. She is very poor and just stays at home. Gets really mad if I'm online and I don't message her back. Gets clingy if she sees another girl comment my photos or post and questions it. She even says "I know youre not my boyfriend and just a friend but I looooove you"... then gets mad at me if I don't say it back and forces me to say it. Then she unsends her messages if I don't say the same thing back to her.
She is really nice to me but I don't want to make her cry. I don't have the same feelings for her and I don't want to force it on myself to love someone I don't know. I already told her. She gets mad if I'm talking to others even old friends even dudes! Gets mad I'm not giving her my whole attention even though I'm single.
It seems like the less I talk the more she falls for me???
She keeps telling me she doesnt want to be hurt by me and she wants to not be an option. She keeps repeating herself. I keep telling her how I am feeling and I don't want to say I love you because I only want to be friends. She gets mad.

2024.05.15 09:29 Natsuboi420 I know it's not really a hot take but God damn do I gotta get it off my chest

So ima just come out and say it Sanji is in fact a rapist like its not really an opinion or not and I'm not just talking about the way he acts around girls and by the way you don't actually have to rape someone in order to be a rapist otherwise setting up a pedophile with a fake account wouldn't mean anything, but like everyone talks about him peeping and stuff like that but no one talks about the fact that during Punk Hazard Sanji got put into Namis body, for one he makes a bunch of comments about what he wants to do to do the body and absolutely nothing about respecting her privacy (but for the sake of you dumbass out there we'll just say it's perversion and nothing more)
The real icing on the cake is when she gets her body back... she openly states that she has no bra or underwear on any more and that she "feels warmer then she should withiut under garments on" her words not mine... in other words at the very least Sanji took of her under wear and bra just to loon which mind you taking of some ones clothes withiut permission is still sequel assault so he is in fa t a rapist again this isnt really a debate just clearing my chest because everyone else seems to be a sheep, but in the worst case scenario (yes best case is he's still a rapist again I do not like him at all) he touched himself in her body and thats why she's warm...
Also side note his misogyny is on a whole ass another level... like he'll grope a woman's body thats he's in without permission and clearly she wasn't ok with it... but you know say his goal of finding the all blue is going to be stopped, or luffy become the pirate king is threatened, he still won't hit a woman... he'd rather cry and say sorry to Nami who he claims to be a knight in shining armor for and made Nami and Robin fight battles for him... also really he wanted absoloms fruit so he could do to woman what everyone hates absolom for doing... and cool its "played as a joke" buts that's kind of the point on why it's so messed up... we are literally over 1000 episodes and chapters in... and he's still the same... no characters development on that front at all... one of the main characters who were supposed to root for.. is a rapist... can't fight to protect his crew if it means hurting a woman even though he contradicts himself by letting the woman on his crew get hurt, fails to stand up for luffys dream like the rest of the crew if the villain is a female, fails to stand up for his own dream, oh and it's not to me tion after going through the whole "one person of the crew leaves because big bad fron past says they'll kill the rest of the crew if they dont" with robin... but here we are in whole cake island and sanjis dumb ass is doing the same thing the difference is Robin never directly harmed any of her crew mates because that was the actual point... where as if luffy wasn't able to talk him down and was weaker then sanji, sanji would have killed his captain for pussy he didn't fucking want... like bro fails at being a pirate and being apart of the future pirate kings army so fucking hard... oh but because he had 1 cool arc and he kinds kicks cool... we forgive him..? Fuckkkkk noooo honestly I'd genuinely prefer if the new remake just casually doesn't have sanji in it at all... or hey just make is sanji is a literal rapist when he's supposed to be a role model... like I love oda and no I'm not blaming sanji Oda fumbled fuxking hard but at the end of the day we can't ignore the fact that oda literally gave one of the hero whole personality be "I wanna fuck anything that I think has a vagina" like look at mineral and how fucking hated he is, the only reason you don't hate sanji as much is because he kicks cool and you know what's sad about that is sanji isn't under aged and has been attracted to under age people and has groped people without permission, but mineta gets more flak... it don't make any damn sense
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, ok but seriously if you actaulky read all that I'm sorry I know it probably didn't make sense but thank you for actually reading it and not being ignorant and just reading the first couple lines or something

2024.05.15 09:28 xXTurdleXx Analysis on Corki's Rework and History in Pro Play [Effortpost]

Hi, I've been a Corki main since S10, and I've held a ~62% winrate in over 400 games over that time period. I'm writing this post because Corki is about to get reworked and while the rework isn't absolutely horrible, the issue with Corki in pro play is misdiagnosed. TLDR: the issue with Corki in pro is not and has never been because of package. It is solely because of the AP Poke Corki build.
History:
On patch 5.22, Corki was reworked to add Package on his passive (on a 300 second cooldown). On patch 6.15, the package cooldown was reduced to 240s, and then stayed in the same form for ~6 years until 12.3, when it nerfed back to a 300s cooldown and a 2 minute delayed spawn.
Corki has been a on and off pick in pro play for the last few years now. From S6-S11, he was meta from time to time, hitting up 28% presence in S6 (combined mid+adc), S7, and S9, but being mostly unpicked S8, S10, and S11. During this same period of time, he was always a strong solo queue pick, usually hovering between 52% and 56% winrate mid, but with a low pick rate, and always built AD. In season 12, the AP Poke Corki build (Ludens + Tiamat + First Strike) was discovered in pro play, and was quickly picked up by solo queue players. His solo queue winrate dropped spectacularly to hover around 47%, but he was still decent with the AD build in solo queue. AP Corki was nerfed in patch 12.13, and disappeared from pro play (while also being relatively weak in solo queue) until S14. In S14, the newly released items led to another AP Malignance + Eclipse build, which once again terrorized pro play, and Corki was hit with more package nerfs.
Sources: Corki Patch History and Corki pro play presence
On AP Poke Corki:
It's way better in coordinated play than solo queue and has been for years, it's always ~4-5% lower winrate in solo queue. When the AP Corki build first started being played in pro, his winrate crashed in solo queue. The reason the playstyle is good in pro is because you actually get proper setup before teamfights at drakes and stuff, while in solo queue you have to be ready to fight whenever. Teams also won't wait for you to poke, or even play around package, even in high diamond. Imo package also doesn't synergize well with poke Corki, because once you use it, you can't poke anymore, and you're usually in an awful position. This is more fine on AD Corki because you can usually nuke their mid/adc and trade when you go in, but on poke, dueling power sucks so you lose more often/get run down. Also, if you dont land rockets on the backline, you're basically useless, since you can't really deal with tanks. If you land your rockets on AP Corki, you deal ridiculous amounts of damage from really far, and can instantly win a teamfight for your team.
Regarding package:
Honestly, I'm relatively sympathetic to the idea that package is slightly unhealthy for the game, simply because of how powerful it is, so I understand it's removal. You can int the entire game on Corki, and have one good package, and instantly win. I'd love to hear if any pros have talked about this, but I believe that pro players have been using package incorrectly until recently. You want to use it across their entire team (often suiciding into their backline), and then using W/Flash to get away because everyone you hit is chunked hard. In the last few months, I've seen some Corkis (especially Faker and Chovy) use package this way, with a lot of success. Package is a really difficult ability to use well, because you are locked in and unstoppable as soon as you use it, and if you barely miss someone, or knock them the wrong way, it's the difference between instantly popping a carry, and them instantly popping you. I believe that ASol's transformed ult (Skies Descend) is much more unhealthy for similar reasons. However, package is not the reason why Corki is obnoxious in pro play, as he was a perfectly fine pick in pro play for 6 years, before AP Corki even existed. There will multiple years where he had the same package, but was rarely picked in pro, even while being a very strong solo queue pick.
Regarding the rework:
I believe that the R changes are quite good, and make a lot of sense to force Corki to attack to get rockets, rather than poking at 1300 range, although 4 ammo might be too few. I'm relatively neutral towards his change to physical damage. It should remove the ability to build Malignance/Ludens, which I believe are the core problem with Corki in competitive. However, the removal of package is unnecessary to Corki's ability to be a healthy solo queue and competitive pick, and removes one of the big differentiaters of skill on Corki. I'm guessing that Corki will be slightly stronger than before, but still relatively weak compared to other champions, and I hope Riot don't forget about him after the rework.
TLDR: AP Poke Corki bad (for pro play and solo queue and overall game health), package good (has not historically been the issue with Corki, and good skill expression)

2024.05.15 09:26 umadbro69x420 I lost what I think is my soulmate, how do you move on from that?

I am going to apologize ahead of time this is going to be a long post because there is a lot to unpack.
So I (25m) got dumped by my ex (24f) a year ago now. Our relationship had its ups and downs over the 6 years we were together, but that didn’t change how much we loved each other.
Our relationship slowly started to go downhill after my mother passed away in 2018. I lost myself completely, I was a shell of person that I once was. The years following my mothers passing I had lost my job and became completely withdrawn. Since I didn’t have a job I also couldn’t pay my half of the rent and I refused to get a job because I barely wanted to be on this earth. I didn’t reach out to my friends or family. My ex was pretty much the only person I would talk to. But around Covid time I got really bad. I spiraled into the worst depression I’ve experienced in my 25 years on this earth. I would stay up until 9 or 10 am and sleep until around midnight. I stopped talking to my ex almost completely and we stopped hanging out. About 4 or 5 months before my ex dumped me I was severely suicidal. I would leave the house and walk around town in the middle of the night. Mind you I wouldn’t tell my ex where or what I was doing but I think she knew. I would find myself at the bridge we lived near almost every night contemplating jumping but I never did. Side note I was smoking A LOT of weed at this point that she was paying for most of the time. But then the day came.
I was sitting at home while she was at work and I got a text. It said “we need to talk”. She wanted to talk when she got home but I pushed her to just tell me. Then she said she couldn’t do this anymore. My entire world came crashing down. I never thought she would say those words. Later when she got home I did the typical begging. The only thing I really remember from that was her telling me she didn’t love me anymore. I started packing my things the next few days and moved into my friends house.
In the months that followed I had gotten a job and started to really work on my mental health. Somehow my ex and I started talking again and hanging out again. It was looking pretty good for us. I was spending some nights with her and she was looking at me how she used to again. Then out of the blue she cut it off again. Saying something along the lines of “I don’t want to be in a relationship with anyone right now” adding that we could still be friends.
From then until now I have been paying her back the 20 grand that I owed her and we had been off and on friends for awhile. Mainly because I would tell her I couldn’t be friends with her (because I still loved her) and to not text me unless it was about money or if she wanted to try again. She would then text me a week or month later asking me how I’m doing. My dumbass would think she wanted to get back together because she texted me. It always ended up her just wanting to be friends. Until a couple weeks ago when I laid it all out and set the boundaries firm. She got upset with me and a little rude tbh. Still don’t understand that.
Throughout the break up though she said she still loved me but wasn’t in love with me anymore. She would say she still cared about me which her actions showed she did. I asked her the one day if there was any hope we could get back together which she responded with “in the future maybe we can but not right now”. From the times we hung out after the break up I could tell she was still attracted to me. Our conversations were pretty damn good and it seemed like the spark may still have been there.
So I have a couple of questions. Do you think there is any chance we can be together again? If so what can I do that may help in doing so? If not how can I recover from absolutely fucking up our relationship and losing my soulmate (this girl was truly the one for me)? Was I right to not want to be friends with her or was that her way of rekindling our relationship? Is this even salvageable after the damage I have done? It has been a year and I’m still not over her and I just want the pain to go away.

2024.05.15 09:26 duckconcussion Stuck Between a Rock and the Rocks Mother

The past year has been an exceptionally hard one for a lot of reasons (I am now parentless) that end with me living in my boyfriends childhood bedroom (by the good grace of his parents) with a boyfriend that has been at the very least toeing the line on emotional abuse. We’re both in our early-mid 20s, and have been together 4.5years, most of which were pleasant. I tried breaking up with him 10 days ago, fiiiinally, after 9 straight months of the most irrational and aggressive, cruel behaviour. Worth noting I am honest and forthright about my feelings and have been trying to support him through this time (whatever he may be going through). This news did not surprise him. I’d warned him if he didn’t take action this would happen. He got down on his hands and knees, sobbing, begging for another 25 days, another chance. He’d seek help, get control over his life. He promised I’d see an immediate change.
That lasted perhaps a day? And then he spent the next 10 days back to being at best, rude. At this 10 day mark, I feel unable to continue. I have found another living situation, and I just got snapped at for reminding him to take a breath while I massaged his traps for himâ€Ķat his request.
Now for the twist. There’s a weeklong boat-based family (his family) vacation in 2.5 days. And by family - I mean aunts, uncles, family friends. For scale, there are 4 birthdays being celebrated on this trip.
I’ve just broken up with him an hour ago, and it only just dawned on me (I’ve been a bit stressed okay) that his parents would want to speak to me when they find out - likely in person and upset about the last minute cancellation - and Ex confirmed that. (And to be clear I wouldn’t blame them)
His parents have been so kind, but yet they will certainly never see the side of their son that I have, and will never understand. And also at least 15 other of his family members have my number and even more have my Instagram. Spooky. Oh and also all my shit is in their house. Oh and the house will be full of people until they leave from now on - no sneaking possible.
His behaviour has twice scared me to the point of asking friends to check in on me periodically through the night, yet he has never laid a hand on me or even raised one to me.
He has asked me to go along, he assured me quite calmly that it would be only to preserve the illusion so the trip wouldn’t be upset for the clan.
What the hell should I do?

2024.05.15 09:24 Sacrifice_a_lamb Ky Slime Review (good and bad) with Pics

Ky Slime Review (good and bad) with Pics
I actually have been waiting to review a few shops, since I think it might be nice to live with the slime for a while instead of writing a review that's just based on what the slime was like when I first got it. But today I got an order from Ky and I've got things to say about it lol!
Rambling preamble (skip to review) First off, I had heard rumblings of discontent about this shop, but also had heard aspersions cast about Sonria and I found her slimes to be pretty good. So, I was open to Ky, especially since she clearly is a master at designing DIY slimes. Her IG is a go-to ASMR source for me and her posts make the slime look irresistible! Seriously, for all you stores out there--make your slimes look good on the internet. You'll have so many more buyers.
While it's definitely obvious that the slimes that are played with on the IG are of larger quantities than what you will be getting when you order, her representation of the product otherwise looks pretty legit and she still has kind of a small, hand-made store vibe, which makes it easier to pay 16$ for a toy that may only last for a few months, right? She also has my dream slime--a neon space unicorns and rainbows sundae-themed slime tribute to Lisa Frank. This thing just looks so incredible. She really nailed the concept.
So, I made a big order because, shipping. there was a 10% discount and the prices didn't seem terrible, even with shipping. I placed my order on the 4th and it arrived today, on the 14th, which ten days feels acceptable for a small business in Hawaii. They didn't go crazy on the packaging, which at first made me glad (I do not feel good about all the bubblewrap so many folks use!) but then I saw that one of the clay containers had gotten smashed and the clay pieces inside were totally flattened. Honestly, nothing else had any damage and the clay was always going to get smooshed, anyway, so I'm not bothered, BUT, I dunno. Use bunched up newspaper or something.
It included a gift of two free "small" slimes. Really, they are like 3-4 ounces. Definitely a decent size for a sample and both slimes were pretty awesome, but I still have complaints...
My rating system is pretty "strict"--I'm stingy about perfect scores, but anything with a score over 15/20 is something I'd consider buying again.

Taro Milk Tea Cheesecake 10/20

Someone else reviewed this recently and loved it. I do not. I had initially hesitated to buy this because I like taro, but sometimes find the smell of taro-flavored things like mass-produced ice-cream disgustingly sweet, and I worried that this slime might smell this way. It does not. To me, it smells like boiled white potatoes with an undertone of glue. Not great.
The DIY kit came in a sealed bag and everything looked in good condition and matched the website photos perfectly. The boba balls slime, however, was so unactivated it was straight-up glue and I ended up having to SCRUB my hands in hot water to remove it. Even so, the assembly experience was fun and mixing was fun, as well. But the result is a mid slime. It is quite tough--so dense, but not terribly stretchy--and isn't much for bubble pops or other ASMR. The bobas are soft and squishy and that's cool.
I'd like it better if it didn't smell weird, OR I'd be fine with smell if I liked the texture of the slime more.

Tangulu 14/20

This came with giant, detailed charms and the giant fimos are beautiful and fun, but the clear slime was quite cloudy and yellow and for the price, that just seems like kind of a bummer. There's a fruity smell but the scent of the glue and maybe the add-ins overwhelms it. By itself, the smell isn't enough to deter me from playing with it. It is a stiff slime that tears easily, but it does stretch quite well if played with slowly. The slime is thick, so there isn't much noise from crunching, but it makes decent bubble pops.
Mainly, I just think there are other folks out there making what is basically this same slime, but I suspect that their versions smell better and maybe the quality of the slime is a little better, too.

Slimereo Mug Cake 16/20

Super fun concept that was realized as a wonderfully detailed DIY kit. The clay oreo was in perfect condition and so detailed! This was a lot of fun to set up and then mix. Initially the oreo smell was spot on, but since I've played with it a couple of times, the chocolate smell has weakened somewhat and, again, there's just a strong glue smell.
The mixed slime is not bad. It is still pretty tough, but it doesn't rip when pulled fast and it gets pretty soft and fluffy with inflation. It's just still a little more dense than I prefer. It has a nice sizzle to it and even makes some pretty nice bubble pops with a bit of effort. It is moderately tacky, but not too bad and I certainly wouldn't add activator for fear of making it too tough.
https://preview.redd.it/msdobiqgjj0d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3ac9a0430db226839bf4c4a233030fbacc9e631

Boba Creme Donut 15/20

Another DIY kit that came in great shape. The clay donut was soft and everything assembled to make a beautiful, fun and interesting slime. Mixing was fun. The resulting slime is pretty close to that of slimereo Mug Cake, but instead of slakes of snow there are the tiniest mico-floam beads and some squishy bobas. I really like the way both feel and they seem to make this slime more pop-y than Slimereo. No sizzles, though. Bonus: this one doesn't smell bad! It smells like a caramel tea boba drink--lots of brown sugar and sweetened milk tea smells and then that sweet potato smell of boba.
but it's still a tougher slime that doesn't make a ton of noise.

Slime-Brite (jury's still out for me on this one)

This seemed like Ky's answer to Slime OG's steel wool-themed slime and Ky's having it honestly kind of tipped the scales for me buying from Ky instead of OG. Again, the presentation is fabulous--fun charms, great concept that is rendered in a fun, visually-striking way, cool label. The smell is definitely a convincing imitation of, like, Dawn dishsoap, which I like. I also realize that I just really like bingsu in slimes so I'm into this one, but it is still very sticky (I'm too afraid to add activator lest it become tough like other slimes in this order) and it is much tougher than the bingsu slimes I have from Seoul Gage. It's not tough by what I think are American standards, I'm just not used to it. It still makes great, bingsu crackles and I love how it looks and smells. If it gets a little less sticky without turning more tough, I might really love this one.

Which brings me to my next purchase:

My diet starts tomorrow 8/20

Again, super fun concept and so much detail! Everything was similar to the IG photos and in good condition except the clay pieces were a little hard, but it was fun to assemble and the slime components all seemed totally good to go. The smell is fine. The problem was mixing this produced a hard, rubbery slime--no stretch. I guess it was overactivated? I was ready to throw it out, but I had glycerine on hand so added maybe a tablespoon and that helped it, but it is still very tough. It does crinkle and crackle with the bingsu, but my hands hurt after just a couple of minutes of playing with it. Super not worth it, even with the amazing DIY element.

Sandy Beach 15/20

This was the one that had the damaged clay pieces. Honestly, it didn't spoil the assembly experience. In fact, I pulled off the clear slime from the sand crust and first mixed the clay into that and what an awesome expeirence! I really love how it looks to mix colorful clay into a clear slime base. This has a moderate "beachy" smell that isn't bad. I think I just don't like sand in slime. I was expecting something like a pumice slime, but instead it just seems to kill any ASMR effect: no bubble pops, no clicks, no sizzles. The clay pieces were dried out in places so there's also some un-mixed goobers in the slime and the slime is also quite tough.
https://preview.redd.it/hk9vgrztjj0d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d69e33a498878caf0ca80522fdece037b8e64c6

Birthday Cake Pop 18/20

This one kind of saved the order (and maybe slime-bright) and it was totally one I almost didn't get it. It smells like how it looks--like a super bright, artificial birthday cake smell, which is actually pretty great. I love how it looks--such a loud, happy pink and love the sprinkles and the look of the different-sized floam balls. I'm not sure this is it, but I believe the floam balls being different sizes gives this slime extra bubble pops. This is a shiny slime that I expected to be tough, and it is--but somehow now I like that quality? Maybe it's because there's such a huge ASMR pay-off. Like, I' even getting some whistles when I stretch it.
I'd give this guy a higher score but, again, I have perfect and near perfect (to me) slimes in my collection and this doesn't feel quite at the level. But it's also unlike any other slime I have and I suspect it will end up being a favorite. I whole-heartedly recommend this one!
https://preview.redd.it/xtnmqgw6jj0d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7470eb86ee0c6076ba8cf8a8ccb505b23c192ce
Free slimes were Lemon Loaf (with no clay piece, which maybe makes it better?) and Java Chip Frappe, also just the base. Again, these were large samples. I'm just grading them out of 10 because...I don't know? they were free and also they aren't, like, the version of the slimes you would be able to buy?

Java Chip Frappe (Jury is still out)

This is supposed to be a "jelly cream bingsu". It seems like a pretty thick, dense jelly with a tiny bit of bingsu. The bingsu are enough to produce some soft cracks and sizzles, so I really want to be abl to play with it, but it is way to sticky. It is already pretty thick, so I've only added a little activator so far, which hasn't helped much. Hoping this stops being so sticky without also turning into rubber. Smells is listed as chocolate chip cookie, but it smells more like khalua to me. At any rate, I like the smell.
https://preview.redd.it/7rczrp66kj0d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2499c9709c64d6c9cc690909f554890f3431a6ff

Lemon Loaf 10/10

This is my favorite slime of the whole darn order. It is a highly resistant bingsu slime, but it really softens with inflation. Smells like a cake with a lot of artificial lemon flavor added to it, which sounds bad but it actually quite delicious. It looks great: a bright and cheery yellow that is broken up by specks of iridescence from the bingsu. Also, I love the lemon fimos! But, the cherry on top is the micro-floams! I love these tiny micro-floams that she uses. It may be psychosomatic, but I think they actually change the bingsu texture somehow? At any rate, this is a great, stretchy, inflating, crackling, squeezeable bingsu slime and I love it.
https://preview.redd.it/9sk0uoi9kj0d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b3a9bb64388eb724a5b854882522c3c0bcab6ac

Conclusion:

I really don't know what to make of this store, guys. I mean, I have only 3 clear "would buy agains" (one of which I didn't even pay for) out of a total of ten slimes, so, objectively, I should not buy from them again, but... I don't know. I definitely would not have spent all this money at this store if I'd seen some of the reviews I've seen since making the order. The complaints seem to be the same as my own: hard clay, tought slime, not great smells.
On the other hand, the Birthday Cake Pops and the Lemon Loaf are so good that I might be persuaded to try Ky again.
I guess, part of me wonders if the slime is this way because she's cutting corners on ingredients or doesn't know how to make slimes well? But then the amount of work and care that goes into designing the slime just makes me think there's no way this person doesn't know what they are doing, so then I guess this is the way the slime is meant to be (not for the Diet one, though--that was straight up bad slime) and it just isn't for me, but who is it for? who likes tough slime that doesn't make much noise?
Would be curious to hear others' thoughts.

2024.05.15 09:24 TacoDrop_Tuesday 14w old puppy will not stop defecating in his crate, mainly at night!

We have a 14w (nearly 15w) old puppy, he is a Golden Retriever and Redbone Coonhound mix. We've had him since was 8w old without any issues up until recently. He was doing FANTASTIC with his training, we were having an issue with potty training in the beginning because he would never ask to go, he still doesn't sometimes we just recognize his body language and take him outside. He has done amazing with all of his other training and responds well to praise and treats and still does to this day outside of our potty issue. He was basically potty trained by 12w old but when we took him to his vet appt. for his follow up puppy shots - he's been a different dog. He will poop in his crate every single day and night now and has had on/off diarrhea since those vaccines. His food and treats have not changed, nothing new has been added to his diet, he is walked every hour and thirty minutes (sometimes sooner than that if we can tell he has to go) He is on a water and feeding schedule as well. He was in a full size kennel that we had available because our bigger dog doesn't use it and before this 12w appt. he was doing fantastic with his crate training, would occasionally pee in it if we were out for too long but thats stopped, he no longer pees in our house at all, only poops. Once he started defacating in his kennel multiple times in one night we did move down to a crate his size where he can only just lay down in, he basically has no room in his crate but will still poop in it without asking to go outside. He has also started laying in his poop! He doesn't care if poop is where he lays and eats... We now use the bigger kennel as the area he is fed in and where he can play safely when I need to do things around the house and can't watch him, it's now a play pen. During his dinner tonight he stopped eating, pooped right next to his food bowl, and went right back to eating! Never asked to go outside or anything, I was right there the entire time. I was flabbergasted... When he's not in the kennel he's leashed to me with a hands-free leash for training purposes and he will just squat and poop right next to me without asking, even if we were just outside. Keep in mind, he didn't do ANY of this before this 12w. vet appt and now he will literally poop and lay in it! He'll poop multiple times in his kennel over one night and I have to bathe him and scrub the crate first thing every day. I am 30w pregnant and I physically cannot keep this up anymore.... I physically cannot get down to bathe this pup daily, I cannot lift and scrub his crate without overexerting myself. I physically cannot handle this. Something needs to change or we may have to rehome him and we don't want that but we cannot have this issue persist for much longer with a newborn on the way. He is walked regularly, I have lost sleep for days now getting up to walk him every 1-2 hours overnight. This puppy is literally making my pregnancy a living hell for my body, my husband believes I'm going to hospitalize myself from over exertion. I walk him before feeding him, after feeding him, after naps, playtime, and after any time he gets really excited. He's on a food and water schedule. Nothing about his diet has changed. Besides grass he hasn't eaten anything he shouldn't have to upset his GI track. I've tried disinfecting with bleach, that's before I learned that's bad for him though, I've tried vinegar, pet urine & feces cleaner, puppy pads (but he'll just chew on them and try to eat them, so that's a no go) We do reward him and give him high praise when he he does poop outside. We're at a loss....... My partner and I have done literally everything I can think of and every suggestion I have found online. I've even talked to local dog trainers about my situation and they all confirm and basically tell me to do what I'm doing and to be patient but it has been nearly 3 weeks now. I cannot even be in my house anymore because of the smell (pregnancy, it makes me puke) Any advice or training tips, or does my puppy have "Dirty Dog Syndrome" and do I just need to accept it and move on?

7 days Powerful Wazifa for Marriage
The fact of wedding and the celebration of marrying a life partner are the main events of the life of almost everyone. However, the probability of finding the ideal partner is not always the case. There are people who only find a boyfriend or a girlfriend for a long time to get married or live with them. If you have been searching for a life companion for a long time and failed, doing a 7 days wazifa for marriage may be the way to a potential life partner you always wanted.
7 days wazifa for marriage
What is a Wazifa?
A wazifa is a form of Islamic prayer or spiritual chant which is recited uninterrupted for a certain period of time to make one's desires or wishes be realized. Wazifa is a work of the prophets that has been approved by Allah and the continuous recitation of Quranic verses and prayers for a long time is included. The repetition of the concentration, belief and sincerity is the reason why the divine blessings and mercy are given and thus, it is possible to achieve the genuine wishes and intentions.
7 days wazifa for marriage is a big task which needs a lot of studying and hard work.
Since this wazifa relies on the spiritual power of prayer, you need to prepare yourself adequately before beginning it:This vuaca is based on the spiritual strength of pray, thus, it is imperative that you get well prepared before you begin it.
  • Keep your task at the center and be sincere and honest. Do not use this prayer to make anyone do something that they do not want to do or to attempt to use it on someone specifically. Say your pride and tell them if they are faking it or are being used.
    • It is necessary to be able to sustain the wazifa of 101 times a day for 7 consecutive days without any interruption. Consistency is key.
    • Choose a tranquil, neat area in your home that will not be interrupted or a hindrance for the wazifa.
    • You have to do the washing (ablution) as you are starting a prayer ritual again. The physical and spiritual cleanliness of a person is the most important condition that will allow him to get the many advantages that such a person can get.
  • A proper attitude is very significant - be absolutely,100% sure that Allah is with you while doing this wazifa.
    The 7 Days Wazifa Prayer Process is a system of saying or reciting the Al-Fatiha in the Quran and a certain supplication for every one of the seven days of the week.
    Here are step-by step guidelines to follow for this wazifa: 7 days wazifa for marriage
  1. Start the class by saying “Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem” and you will call the Allah in the front of the class.
  2. The process of three times blow of Durood Shareef was repeated. Thus, the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is doing the service of Allah. For example, "Allah, then our beloved prophet Muhammad and his companions".
  3. The idea of the Surah Ikhlas is obviously in the mind at least three times, clearly. This is the chapter that actually validates the concept of Allah's oneness.
  4. Read the following verse from the Quran 101 times: "God, let my wife and the others who are from the offended and humiliated group, get together and pray and cry. "
    This verse translates to: "Our Lord, be with us, from our family members, give us the comfort in our eyes and the ability to become leaders of the righteous. "
  5. In the short term, you should ask God for the forgiveness of your sins, Bless the prophet (DUROOD SHARIF) and ask for your wish to be granted.
    1. Carry out this habit every day at the same time and place and follow it for a week. Have faith and consistency.
On the very last day, it is more helpful to pray 100 times and strive to focus on each one. After the wazifah, you may chew a sweet thing yourself thus to complete the ritual. The wazifa will definitely be successful with the active involvement of really devoted people who are the creation of Allah insha Allah
Tips for Maximizing Results
Here are some beneficial tips to maximize the efficacy of this wazifa:These are some useful suggestions that will help to improve the results of this wazifa:
  • Ensure a good attitude and Be attentive enough that the awaizafa will be performed by Allah's grace. The emotional state weakens the power of the self.
  • The Islamic teaching about the forbidden things during the 7 days like alcohol, music and dirty places which, in turn, means the more spiritual rewards you will get.
  • In case, try to perform the activity for 7 times. Hence, in the first step one should do 117, 707 and so on, daily rather than just 101.
  • Make the last day a day of giving to charity to make the wazifa's good points even strong
In the first place , trust Allah into which search for a suitable life partner for you is already made in 7 day wazifa. Trust genuinely and be confident that the divine blessings will come, and insha Allah, the best partner will come at the right time. Stay hopeful!

2024.05.15 09:23 midnitedesperadoIV I Don’t think I can move for love

I know I should be talking with my partner about this but I like to lurk on the internet. So my current predicament needs some background. Roughly two years ago I was in a serious relationship for 7 years and my gf at the time (I’m a male) came out to me as gay and moved across the country not too soon after telling me ( we shared a house together and we weren’t married). I think we ended amicably at the end but it still hurt me. During that time I owned a home and hated my job. All of the above occurred in the summer of 2022. As soon as I quit my job and sold my house I started to an accelerated medical program also in 2022. This is where my issue starts. A girl I know we’ll say her name is “Tamara” asked me to be FWB.
Tamara knew me from the previous job but in process of her moving up in the company she moved to South Carolina. I currently live up north in the US. So she got in contact with me and wanted to come to the place I moved back to, to come and visit. I said sure because we were pretty good friends. (I want to add the medical program I’m in gives me the ability to work anywhere in the US so I can chose where I complete my clinical hours. This comes into play later).
The first visit nothing happened between us. In between visits she asks to be FWB I say yes but tells me it can be messy. I agree. This goes on for a year and a half. Mid way point last year because our relationship was just exclusively FWB we discussed at the beginning that we were free to seek other people out. So I went on few dates. Tamara was not happy with me so I ended up stopping the dates in between her visits. At the point when I stopped the dates I was about to start my clinical rotations and I had an interview for a site coming up. I was unable to get matched in an area near South Carolina which is what Tamara wanted so we could be close. I matched at a place up North an hour from me. So throughout my clinical rotation Tamara has been “gently” encouraging me to move in with her in South Carolina.
I have some concerns about moving because I know the area is saturated for the medical job I have and it’s damn near impossible for new grads to get work. So I press on through the program. 1/3 of the way through. I get a message saying we need to talk. I get a phone call from Tamara saying she has an STD and I should get checked. Needless to say I was not happy. A week later I got checked and had it also. I was beside myself. I knew I was being an idiot and I know people make mistakes but I definitely got checked after our encounters but I digress. After this things seemed to have cooled a little. With news of the STD I told her fuck it I’ll just move down after I graduate but I’m still struggling with the idea of fully committing to moving there because of the struggles I will face. Now currently I have a few weeks left of my program and I want to change my mind about moving down and I know it will break her heart but I was doing what was right for her and not for myself. So would I be the asshole for calling things off and staying put to get work experience?
TLDR: I ended a long term relationship. I got into medical school that allows me to work anywhere in the US. An old co-worker hits me up to hang but we live in different states. We become FWB. I get an STD from our interactions which soured my mood a little. I tell her I will move down to be closer to date but now I want to take it back because I know how hard it will be to get a job where she lives currently and I’m not sure I can commit to the things she wants.
Thanks for reading and sorry for any typos! I am writing this pretty late at night.

2024.05.15 09:22 Joe2_0 The Nature of Grunts - 2

Memory Transcription Subject: Alus, Yotul auxiliary to the UN Spaceborne Infantry
Date [standardized human time]: March 3rd 2137, 1000 hours ship-time
After Gutierrez showed me to our compartment, and I dropped off my duffelbags, he began leading me to the Armory, where I would be assigned my rifle and 'sensitive items' as he put it. As we walked, my mind churned with more questions.
"Hey, uh, Guts. Back in the supply compartment, you mentioned the 'USMC'? That's the American Marines right? I thought you were UN Spaceborne infantry."
"Yeah, so, I am a Marine. Marine to the core. But Earth sorta got thrown into this whole clusterfuck without having a properly unified military, and instead of trying to set up a whole new service from scratch, they got the big five on the Security Council, being us, the Brits, the French, the Chinese, and the Russkis, to pitch in units. So you got Marines and Army making up the American portion of the SI, and Navy and Airforce making up our part of the fleet. Same for every country that pitched in, even some outside the UNSC." Gutierrez explained, his hands moving about animatedly. "Right now it's a hot mess because none of the standards, paperwork, or anything changed, but I guess they'll probably formalize and standardize the SI and Fleet after all this shit is done. All we currently got that's the same is rifles, uniforms, and equipment. The traditions and paperwork and shit are all wildly different from one countries units to another, and sometimes even within the same country's units because of different branches. The US Marines and US Army for instance, we share a lot of the same shit you know, but our low-level paperwork is branch-specific, and our organization is different."
I thought for a moment about what he was saying as we walked though the passageways, pondering on the idea of what a truly united Human military could accomplish, if everything Humanity had done so far was with a truly thrown-together force. As I looked up again, I saw we were approaching the armory, and mentally filed my next question away for later. We crossed through the threshold, and I found myself standing in front of a grated window, another Human on the other side.
"Sarn't Johnson, I'd like you to meet our new Yotul auxiliary, Alus. We're doing inprocessing, and need to get his weapon and equipment drawn and assigned."
The new Human looked down at me curiously and smiled, before reaching down and grabbing a few sheets of paper from under his desk.
"Alright" the Sergeant said, before moving deeper into the armory, stopping at a weapons cage, before unlocking it and inspecting the rifles line up inside "So, what are we billeting him as?"
"Just an 0311, needs a rifleman's kit and associated gear" Guts replied, leaning forward to watch the Sergeant.
"Gotcha. Just gimme a minute here."
Guts and I watched as the Armorer pulled a cart over, and picked out a rifle, laying it down on the cart, and locking the cage, before moving to the next rack and removing a small black bag, repeating the process along the line of cages across one wall of the armory, before coming back to the front, and pressing a button on his desk. I heard a click from a door next to the grated portal, and Gutierrez waved for me to follow him through the door, and into the armory.
The Sergeant had sat back down, and was poring over what appeared to be a checklist as he inspected each piece of equipment, ticking them off down the list one by one. When he was done, he clipped it to a clipboard, and handed it off to Gutierrez, before looking toward me.
"So, Heard you fellas went through some sorta training dirtside, so you should be familiar with at least the rifle?" He asked, picking up a notably shorter version of the standard UN rifle I had qualified on Earth with.
"Yes, ours were longer, it kinda seemed like they weren't really meant for non-Humans to use. We could all barely aim them shooting, uh, offhand I think it was?"
"Yeah, sounds about right for an indoc unit. The M-36 is a piston gun so it's good bit heavier out front than the old M-16's the Corps used to issue way back, Mag in the back kinda balances the whole shebang on the carbine variants" he slapped the side of the firearm he was holding "But on the full length rifles they're just ungodly long barrels. Ay, Guts, something like a 28-inch heavy barrel on the old M-36A1's?"
"Yeah, something stupid like that," Guts said, looking up from the paperwork he had been signing, as he set it down on the table. "Marines wanted a gun that was the same length or shorter than an M-16, Piston, and could reach out to like 800 meters with 5.56. I think Bushmaster pulled out some old relic from the 20th century and just modernized it? I remember the K&M lawsuit right when we started getting the A1's back in 2130, but yeah."
The sergeant nodded and turned back to me, pointing at the firearm again "So, when the Corps finally removed their head from their fifth point of contact-"
"Their ass" Gutierrez helpfully interjected, grinning
"Yes, But anyways, They saw some issues with going back to a full size rifle, and got carbines made to replace the A1's for combat arms. Shorter barrel, shorter gas system, shorter receiver, way lighter out front. Super nice shooting guns to boot. Bushmaster also sold them on this neat quick-change barrel system they thought up too, so now we have a bunch of smoothbore barrels for flechettes, rifled barrels for traditional ammunition, pencil barrels for riflemen, heavy barrels with bipods for autoriflemen, in a bunch of different lengths. These fuckers are modular as hell."
The sergeant had what was probably the widest grin I'd ever seen on a Human as he finished talking, and it very nearly took me aback, despite the Yotul, myself included, not having the same issues with Human mannerisms as the wider Federation.
"I-I'm not gonna have to carry all of those, right?" I asked, hesitantly, and Gutierrez broke out laughing, while the sergeant suppressed a chuckle.
"Nah kid, we just pick a rifle and swap the barrel to the one you need for what you're doing. Mostly just makes shit easier on my end really. You're just getting a carbine-length pencil barrel, lightest of the bunch."
The Sergeant shifted, bringing the rifle to his shoulder, and pointed it at a canted barrel, sticking the muzzle in, and pulled back the charging handle, sticking a finger into the rifle's ejection port, before looking in, and releasing the charging handle, before pulling the trigger with a 'click'. He then held out the rifle for me, and I took it, surprised at how much lighter it was than the one I had been issued in training.
"So, one M-36A2." the Sergeant said, before pulling a metal cylinder from a small pouch, and peering through it up at one of the lights, before getting up and grabbing a metal rod, and walking over to me. He stood alongside me, and slipped the cylinder over the muzzle of the rifle, before inserting the rod down the barrel, and peering closely at a small gap around the rod.
"And one suppressor. Clears the rod check so that shouldn't give you any issues. Guts should be able to explain the adjustable piston to you so you don't get gassed in the face while you're using it." With a quick twist of a collar on the back of the tube, the armorer pulled the device off the muzzle and stuck it back in it's pouch, and picked up a larger cloth case. He pulled something that looked like a visor on an articulating arm from it, and inserted a pair of batteries into a cylinder that ran along the top.
"This here is the AN/PVS-101 'Fused vision system'. Little heads up display that links up with the rest of your fireteam, and also has thermal and Infrared overlay. Just a fuckin' neat piece of kit honestly. Datalink is hardened to all hell, and the whole system's idiot-proof. I've seen ones that pre-date the Satellite Wars. Uses an accelerometer and gyro system to keep track of where you are in the area, and can pulse lidar to give you visuals in full pitch-black. You can also mark obstacles, enemy troops, vics, whatever with eye-clicks, and the system keeps track and spreads that out to all the linked systems. Plus there's a version that goes to the fireteam leader, which transmits all that collated data back to company level, and gives them an up-to-date picture of everything that's going on. Just honestly fuckin' cool."
He then held up a square plate on the back of the arm to his forehead, and withdrew a small box from the back and touched it to the back of his head.
"The FVS mounts to the socket on the front of your helmet, and the Processing unit just mounts to the rear, acts like a counterweight too which keeps your neck from hurting nearly as much while you're using it."
Placing both items back in the cloth bag, He finally held up what was obviously a handheld radio, and a set of earmuffs.
"This is the AN/PRC-255. It's a radio, and might as well work with Angry Pixies. I know it's got a 60 mile range, and hops frequencies, and the Comms nerds have some kind of black magic ritual to make them work. The hearing protection doesn't have some letter-and-number name, but they hook up to the radio, and they'll also link up to other headsets nearby like the FVS to communicate without radio. The Radio isn't nearly as impressive as the FVS, and the hearing protection hasn't changed in a meaningful way in about a hundred years. 3M is the Browning of comms gear, I swear. And, that's petty much it."
I looked at the neat pile of equipment sitting next to the carbine, and looked down at my hands, realizing I had nothing to carry any of it with, before looking up at Gutierrez.
"Is it alright if you carry some of this, I don't think I can carry it a-" I said, before I was cut off by laughter from Sgt Johnson.
"Nooooooo, no kid." The sergeant said, wiping tears from his eyes. "This all stays here unless you actually imminently need it. It's assigned to you now, but it stays under lock and key." he explained, while Gutierrez seemed to look simultaneously aghast and about to burst into laughter. My abbreviated training had failed to explain a few things, it seemed, as I had simply assumed that they had locked up our equipment because we were were trainees.
"See, everything in here is either VERY killy, or VERY expensive. And Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines around Earth all have a penchant for shenanigans, and breaking anything they touch. Occasionally themselves too, if left entirely unsupervised with dangerous objects. So we don't let any of you have things which can be described as 'Killy', 'Expensive', or 'Killy and Expensive' unless it's specifically pertaining to the task at hand, Rah?"
"I, uh, see yeah. Rah?" I replied, somewhat dejectedly, and slightly confused.
"Rah." The Sergeant said in reply, and began to load all of the 'Killy and expensive' equipment back onto the metal cart, chuckling to himself still, as Gutierrez tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey, chow's in about an hour, let's get you back to the barracks so you can get your OCUU's on, and outta those class-B's right?"
"Yeah, that sounds good, I don't think I've eaten since before I arrived at the Orbital, I'm starving" I said, as I followed the Spaceborne Infantry Marine out of the Armory's door, and back down the passageway to the berthing areas of Grunt Country.

Destined Rise Timeline The 1962 Midterms. House of Representatives Elections.
This midterm election is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal in recent memory. Internationally, the nation has assumed significant control over Cuba and deepened its involvement in Vietnam, with U.S. forces now stationed in Laos and South Vietnam under President Nixon's direction. Domestically, upheaval abounds. The South has grappled with revelations of widespread election fraud in 1960, aimed at securing electoral votes for Governor Orval Faubus. Additionally, recently it was revealed the funds earmarked for Nixon's "Rejuvenate America" initiative were pocketed by politicians from both parties. However, the economy continues its upward trajectory, showing no signs of faltering in the foreseeable future.
Since losing their congressional majorities in 1958, the Democrats have been hoping for a resurgence this year. Buoyed by decent showings in the off-season elections, along with the starpower of Senator Kennedy, they hope their liberal policies will resonate with the American people after years of Republican control.
Since their resounding triumph in the 1958 midterms, the Republicans have effectively been governing the nation. However, they cannot afford to get complacent this year. The Democrats are poised to mount a formidable challenge to reclaim their majorities, especially with everything that is going on currently. They hope Nixon's enduring popularity and their policies will help them replicate their success in 1958.
Note: 435 House of Representative seats up for election



House Speaker Charles A. Halleck
Republicans:
Current House Seats: 219
Similar to his Senate counterpart, the elder statesman guided his party to a resounding victory in the 1958 midterms. However, complacency is not an option this year. Just as the Senate Democrats pose a challenge, so do the House Democrats, who are also primed to reclaim their majority. He cannot afford to let that occur.
-Social Programs: The Republicans have long been opposed to large government social programs. This stance was particularly highlighted when they opposed Nixon's own "Family Assistance Plan" due to concerns about its impact on the treasury and its potential to discourage workers. Instead, the Republicans advocate for social programs that collaborate with the private sector, citing the private sector's efficiency and the potential to alleviate pressure on government resources.
-Civil Rights: The Republican party has historically been referred to as the "Party of Lincoln," a label that continues to endure. The party, collectively, backed the civil rights acts of 1957 and 1959, and they have indicated their ongoing endorsement of forthcoming civil rights legislation. However, a growing conservative faction within the party has shown less enthusiasm toward further civil rights measures
-Infrastructure: The Republican party has shown a commitment to the expansion and upkeep of infrastructure. However, unlike the Democrats, their approach involves leveraging the private sector and/or providing funding directly to the states, as exemplified by Nixon's "Rejuvenate America" plan.
-Taxes: Despite disagreements on some other policies, overall, the party tends to favor tax cuts. This stance extends to higher-income earners as well, as evidenced by their Revenue Act of 1962, which reduced taxes for all income brackets.
-Department of Justice: Following the Department of Justice's announcement of election fraud in the southern states during the 1960 election, the widespread prosecution of those implicated has become a prominent topic. Moderates and liberals within the party have largely supported the Department of Justice's actions, considering the evidence that was presented. However, members of the emerging conservative faction have opposed these actions, alleging governmental overreach on a significant scale.
-Foreign Policy: Republicans have consistently supported robust measures against the Communist threat. This has translated into their endorsement of the occupation of Cuba. Also, although Initially hesitant, they eventually rallied behind Nixon's decision to deploy U.S. troops in Laos and Vietnam. Viewing it as essential in deterring Communist encroachments in both nations.



House Minority Leader John W. McCormack
Democrats:
Current House Seats: 216
Just recently elected to become the House Democrats leader after Rayburn's death, John McCormack is hoping to lead his party back to victory after their loses in the 1958 midterms. However, he'll have to pull all the stops as te Republicans certainly won't be holding back.
-Social Programs: The Democrats have had a longstanding commitment to implementing expansive government programs aimed at aiding everyday Americans, particularly those facing hardship. Lacking majorities in either house of Congress for the past few years their ability to enact meaningful change has been limited. Nevertheless, they have staunchly opposed Republican initiatives, notably rejecting Nixon's "Family Assistance Plan" for its inadequacy in sufficiently supporting the average American.
-Civil Rights: The party is split down the middle on the issue of Civil Rights. Most northern and western Democrats are generally in support of the movement, while just about every southern Democrat is vehemently opposed. With the DoJ’s recent actions, the issue has become even more volatile within the party.
-Infrastructure: The Democrats as a whole support the expansion and upkeep of infrastructure. However, unlike the Republicans, they believe any and all infrastructure projects should be done by the federal government. Saying the private sector will cut corners, while the federal government will do quality work. They’ve also said the private sector will take advantage of the average worker.
-Taxes: As a general rule, the Democrats have been in support of higher taxes for higher earners, and lower taxes for lower earners. Recently the Republican controlled Congress cut taxes for all earners, and the Democrats strongly opposed the measure, but little could be done without any majorities.
-Department of Justice: Like civil rights, this has been a very volatile issue for the party. While just about every southern Democrat has vehemently attacked and protested the DoJ for their recent prosecution of Orval Faubus and others due to election fraud. The northerner and western Democrats have been mostly supportive or indifferent, citing the evidence the DoJ produced during the trial. The issue has threatened the party potentially breaking up like it did back in 1948.
-Foreign Policy: One issue just about everyone can agree on is foreign policy. Like their Republican counterparts, the Democrats have supported actions against Communist threats abroad. They’ve supported the occupation of Cuba and indirect involvement in other places of the world to stop the Communist spread. However, there were mixed reactions to Nixon's deployment of US troops in Southeast Asia. While many supported the measure, quite a few vocally opposed it, arguing that it was unnecessary and only heightened tensions.

Note: 34 Senate seats up for election


Senate Majority Leader William F. Knowland
Republicans:
Current Senate Seats: 52
The Senate Republicans are presently under the leadership of Senator William F. Knowland of California. Since 1953, he has served as the party's Senate leader, guiding them to their remarkable victory in the 1958 midterm elections. However, Knowland must remain vigilant this year as the Democrats gained ground in the off-season elections. They've positioning themselves to potentially reclaim their majorities and he can't let that happen.

Senate Minority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (since 1958)
Democrats:
Current Senate Seats: 48
The "Master of the Senate" has certainly lived up to his name. Since their devastating loses back in 1958, things weren't looking good for the Democrats. However, Johnson has helped his party make a good comeback, making gains in the off-season elections. Coming into this year, he's hoping to take back his party's Senate Majority from the Republicans.
-Social Programs: The Democrats have had a longstanding commitment to implementing expansive government programs aimed at aiding everyday Americans, particularly those facing hardship.

2024.05.15 09:21 Boring-Rutabaga5319 A Comprehensive Guide About Application For Leave From School

During a student’s academic journey, unplanned events may happen that require them to miss class. People with kids need to know how to ask for school leave, whether for an emergency, a family emergency, or a planned vacation. You can request to miss school in writing by filling out an application for leave in school. People typically apply to leave school for various reasons, such as to go on a long trip, get medical care, or go to an event. Remember that applications for school leave need to be made politely and professionally. The application for leave in school should be brief and indicate the cause for the absence, how long it will last, and when the student will return. The application for leave will be talked about briefly in this article.

Reason for Leave application

For private reasons

A student may need to take time off if they have to deal with a family problem or another personal matter. For medical reasons if a child is sick or hurt and needs to be cared for or rest, they may have to miss school. Parents have to provide an application for leave in school for fever.

Because of religion

A student might miss class to attend a church event or celebrate a holiday. Because they need to learn, students may miss class to finish an internship, go on a study abroad course, or go to a conference.

Outside of school

Students may miss a few school days because of an event or action outside of school.They should provide an application for leave in school for going out of station.

Types of Leave

Medical, personal, emergency, and holiday leave are the most common types of leave that schools give. Knowing the differences between the types is essential because each may have different needs and ways of applying them.

How Applications Are Made?

Applications for leave in school are made through routes set up by schools. As part of it, you might have to use a website, fill out a form, or write an official letter. Parents and children should learn about the school’s recommended application process to ensure they follow it.

Very Important Papers

Application for leave in school may mean that schools must ask for supporting documents. Medical leave sometimes needs a note or proof from a doctor. You may need the same kind of proof of trip plans for vacation time. Gather the necessary paperwork and send it in with the leave request.

Time of absence

Most of the time, schools ask parents to let them know before they take their child out of the building. Then, the school management can do the right thing and ensure the child’s education is interrupted less often. Parents should request time off from school as soon as possible, in line with the school’s stance on advance notice. Parents should provide an application for leave in school for 1 day in advance.

Amount of time away

When it comes to schools, there may be rules about how much time you can miss for different reasons. There may be limits on vacation time, but people who are sick may be able to take medical leave for as long as they need it. Parents and children should know these time limits so they don’t get mixed up. The school management takes requests for time off when they are sent in. Anyone on the staff, like the director, school counsellor, or someone else, can review this. Parents and kids should be patient and wait for proof of clearance before moving forward.

Communication Tools

Schools usually set up specific ways for parents to talk to their administrators about requests for time off. One way to do this is to go online, email a pre-addressed address, or call the school office. When parents and kids use the official ways to get in touch, they can ensure their needs are heard and met. Parents and kids who want to take time off should check in with the school to ensure they got the application for leave in school and see what’s going on. They should quickly provide additional paperwork or details to speed up the process. The open conversation keeps approvals from being late.

Other Places of Education

To make sure that a student’s education continues while they are abroad, schools could offer other ways to learn. This could mean making study guides, giving homework, or teaching online. Asking about these plans might help lessen the adverse effects of leave on a child’s schoolwork. It must be turned in before the leave of absence starts and is usually sent to the school’s department head or director.

Go back to School Rules and How to Do Things

Schools could have set up specific rules to help kids return to the classroom after taking a break. This could include going to teacher meetings, making up missed work, or finishing tests. Parents who want to ensure their child returns to the regular schedule should call the school. For legal and administrative reasons, schools keep much information on students present and absent. To avoid problems, parents and children must carefully record requests for time off and keep an eye on their child’s attendance.

Review and Thoughts

Parents and kids can stay current on any changes or improvements by reviewing the school’s leave policies and procedures. Giving the school administration comments on their experiences with asking for time off can also help ensure that things keep improving.

Conclusion

Parents and kids need to know the school’s rules about requesting time off to talk about their needs and ensure the kids have a smooth educational experience. Parents and kids can handle the process confidently and keep their child’s schooling as regular as possible if they know the types of leaves, the necessary paperwork, and the permission processes. Parents and schools must work together, plan, and talk to each other so that application for leave in school requests are adequately treated and students can keep up with their work.

FAQs

How do I request school leave?
To request school leave, write to your principal or other school administration.
How early should I request leave?
Leave should be requested as early as possible to allow the school to make arrangements. The timeline depends on school policy and the cause of the leave. In a medical emergency, you may need to apply for leave sooner.
What is the use of leave applications in school?
A leave application is a written request to take time off school, college, or employment for a certain period.

2024.05.15 09:21 grady_vuckovic 7 Proposals for Ways of Addressing Housing Affordability

I don't need to tell anyone here that housing affordability is bad right now so I'll cut to the chase...
What can be done about it?
I got seven proposals to address the problem.
But first.. lets talk about what I call 'Non-Solutions'.
A Non-Solution is something that feels like a solution but isn't. For example: Scratching at itchy skin isn't a solution to a rash.
There's a few Non-Solutions I'm going to be avoiding with my proposals:
Instead solutions need to be formed through means such as:
So - what could we do?

Proposal 1 - The AAHC

I call it the 'Australian Affordable Housing Construction Company', aka, AAHC Co.
Government initiated housing construction company, similar to the NBN Co.
It has one goal: Build houses and sell them. It has a target rate of 'houses/quarter' it aims to construct houses at. That rate is set by an independent body that aims to keep the cost of housing to a fixed level relative to incomes, and controlled in a fashion similar to the official interest rate. Another lever on the economy. The rate increases when housing supply is low, and decreases when housing supply is high.
The AAHC builds houses. Then sells them. Simple as that. No other purpose. The goal is to break even, build houses, sell them at market value (no profit). The great thing is, this means the AAHC has a net zero funding cost for the tax payer - literally costs nothing to run, because it pays for itself through sales of houses.
The actual construction would be done by external private construction companies under contract who compete under bids to build suburbs worth of houses in large projects. Which is another benefit. Lots of jobs creation, a big boon for our local manufacturing and construction industry, and any related employment opportunities (construction companies don't just hire builders after all, they hire graphic designers, accountants, managers, receptionists, etc).
As additional benefit, because the government is building the houses, it can ensure the houses meet conditions and standards we the people want to see applied to future housing construction. So it could be mandated for example, every new home constructed must have air conditioning, must have solar panels, etc.
The AAHC Co in summary:

Proposal 2 - Nationalised Definitions of 'Tiny Homes', and Easing Of Laws Regarding Them

The reality is, there is such a shortfall of housing in Australia, that it may take a decade or longer to address the problem, even if we started implementing the right policies to do so today.
What people need is alternatives. Today.
Such as 'Tiny Homes'.
Tiny homes can be constructed in larger quantities, prefab, for cheaper than a house, and constructed on a trailer frame which allows them to be easily moved and transported.
They can be significantly cheaper than a house, and moved easily, opening up prospects for someone to own reasonable housing in Australia for a fraction of the cost of buying an established constructed house, by buying very cheap land, a cheap 'Tiny Home' and parking it permanently on their land. Then eventually moving it on, selling it even, once it comes time to upgrade to a permanent fixture house, or move into a larger fixed house.
Because they're legally defined as caravans, they subject to all the same rules.
The first problem is, those rules vary depending on where you live. Not just for each state, but even depending which council you live in. Some councils have no clear regulations at all, making matters worse. A nationalised definition of a 'Tiny Home', and national laws regarding them, would make life easier for everyone.
The second problem is, because currently Tiny Homes are defined legally as Caravans, they are subject to the same restrictions, which can be stifling, such as, subject to location (state or council laws vary). Here are some of the worst restrictions found around the country:
A nationalised legal framework for tiny homes, and easing of laws around them, to make them easier and cheaper to obtain, install and live in, would open up possibilities for alternative means of housing to ease the burden on the existing housing market.

Proposal 3 - Housing Super Fund

Super is a well established method for ensuring individuals can afford their retirement without resorting to giving people free money or price fixing the cost of retirement. It forces employers to make contributions to employee's super funds, that then collect invest, grow, and eventually can be accessed at retirement age.
This is a mechanism we can borrow to achieve a similar result for renters, to allow them eventually afford housing.
I call it a 'Housing Super Fund'.
How it could work is like this:
Every tenant is Australia, could have a 'housing super fund' set up for them when they start renting. Every time a tenant pays rent, the land lord receiving the rental payment, could be required to deposit 5% of that payment into the tenant's housing super fund.
Land lords will insist, argue, that they will put up rents by 5% to compensate. But this is a lie. Prices are determined by customer purchase power. Renters will not have any additional purchase power as a result of this change. Rents won't go up in real terms over a long period of time, instead this change eats a cut away of rents from landlords and invests it on the behalf of tenants.
The housing super fund could be made accessible if and when a tenant is making their "first home purchase". If that never occurs, the funds could available automatically at retirement age instead.

Proposal 4 - Increased Property Taxes for Landlords & Elimination of Negative Gearing

While some people are facing the prospect that they may NEVER be able to afford a house in their lifetime - other individuals, might have as many as 7 properties, and are currently shopping for their 8th.
It's obvious, that the system strongly favours those who already own houses and have capital, ahead of those who don't.
So, simple solution, is to increase taxes for being a landlord.
Property taxes faced by individuals could be higher for those who own more than one house, and increase with each additional house owned.
And, Negative Gearing, eliminated, since it creates such a massive financial incentive to own more than one house.

Proposal 6 - Harsh taxes on empty resident housing

A simple proposal.
There are empty houses across Australia.
Tax the owners until they either rent them out or sell them or move into them.

Proposal 7 - Housing HELP Loan

Saved the best for last. Got a HELP Loan? Then you know how this loan structure works.
You borrow money from the government to pay for education, and then pay off that help loan in your taxes, if and when your income is above a minimum threshold. In the mean time, the loan amount is adjusted based on interest rates at the end of each financial year.
There's no reason why we can't have a similar loan structure made available for housing.
'Housing HELP Loan' could be made available to cover up to 75% of the purchase price of an individual's first home, with the remaining 25% required as an upfront deposit. The loan then can be paid off as part of the individual's taxes if and when their income is above a minimum threshold.
This would enable millions who currently can't get a home loan to finally get one, and ensure the debt of a home loan isn't financially crushing when individuals end up in a situation where they are temporarily unable to pay off their loan due to loss of employment.
That's 7 proposals to fixing housing affordability in Australia.
Which ones do you think would work?
Which ones do you think would stand a chance politically of being supported by a major party and made into reality?

2024.05.15 09:20 chai_latte1234 My boyfriend and I had sex for the first time on Saturday but I found out today that my IUD displaced. Could I be pregnant?

My bf and I had sex for the first time on Saturday. He used a condom but he said it felt a bit tight. He also never ejaculate as we kind of gave up. However, today I had a doctor’s appointment, and we discovered that my kyleena displaced. Two weeks ago, we were dry humping and I was in my underwear while he wasn’t wearing anything. Sorry for the TMI but I just want to know the chances of getting pregnant. Last month, (1-2 weeks after getting the kyleena), my period came a bit earlier from the 14 till 20th April. So my period should be coming very soon but I am a bit stressed.

2024.05.15 09:20 TechnothepigWasTaken These two both could've won their seasons with a little more communication (Spoilers)

Okay so, Hades and Hera. Season 1 and Season 2. I was thinking about this while rewatching Season 1. Hera and her faction took sanctuary briefly in the underworld while preparing for the war. If not for the pre-existing distrust, those two could've had a conversation while she was down there and realized they had exactly what the other needed to get what they wanted.
Hera's plot's undoing, largely, came down to her need to promise the Giants dominion over something in order for them to accept fighting as her puppets. She ended up promising the seas, which lost her the allegiance of Poseidon (who ended up being a major help for Zeus' side). She couldn't promise them the heavens, obviously, since she needed that for herself. Presumably she didn't think to offer the underworld, because she didn't want to make an enemy of Hades (who was "neutral" but implicitly slanting in the anti-Zeus direction) and have to deal with his army/lose her probable sanctuary space if all went south. Funny thing is, when the risk of offending the current ruler of the offered realm is removed from the equation she can ultimately retract any offer she makes and install a different ruler of her choosing since she holds the metaphorical leash and can just cage all the giants again at will. She seemingly felt she had to choose between potentially offending Poseidon or Hades with a realm offer, and picked Poseidon.
BUT in Season 2 we learn that Hades' whole objective is to be free of the Underworld, so he and Persephone can be together permanently. It would've been wholly possible to offer the Underworld (with Hades' consent) and thus not lose Poseidon by offering the Seas. If Hera understood what Hades was after (and presumably willing to give up to get it) she could've asked for his realm (to offer for her new pawns) in exchange for using her post-victory rule on Olympus, and thus possession of the Eleusinian Stone, to undo his and Persephone's bind to the underworld and order Demeter to stop her shenanigans. Hades can in turn contribute his Underworld army to the battle on Olympus, probably as a surprise attack, totally undermining the defense. Three of his agents on their own were sufficient to roll over Hephaestus' sentinels and keep two Olympian goddesses occupied for several minutes, so the whole force would presumably cause Zeus and Co. major problems.
This all but guarantees a win for them, since you've got Hades, Poseidon, and Hera all on the same team (along with Ares and several others) with substantially more secure control of the giants (courtesy of raw power and manpower improvements, as well as flying monsters to intercept anyone going for the cauldron). Hera gets Olympus, Hades gets freedom and a surface life with Persephone, Zeus goes to Tartarus, everybody wins (except Heron, sorry bud). All you have to do is merge the two objectives, rather than pursuing them separately, and you've got a whole different set of outcomes.
Hera needed somewhere to promise her new puppets they could rule and more forces for her conquest, Hades had a realm he wanted to get away from and needed someone new in charge on Olympus to release him and his wife from their bind. They could've helped each other, if only they'd known what the other needed and had a little mutual trust. If both had made their move at the same time, coordinated, I can't see anything really stopping them. They did not have mutually-exclusive objectives. Hindsight is 20/20, and people need to talk more, lol.

2024.05.15 09:20 goody_fyre11 Got Creator Companion fully set up with everything it needs, can't import required packages

I haven't touched anything related to the SDK in 5 years or so. I have the project for my home world still, so I installed Creator Companion, installed the version of Unity it wanted (2022.3.22f1), opened my project in that version to update it, and the program was happy, reporting that everything was working correctly. It showed my project in the list, opening the project from there automatically opens it in Unity Hub, everything is good.
The issue was that no, it was not working correctly. Despite my project showing up in the Creator Companion and loading perfectly, I couldn't actually do anything VRChat-related with it.
I poked around in the Companion app and saw the obvious - I didn't have any of the required packages installed since I had absolutely no traces of anything VRChat-related in the project.
Here's my problem: all packages in this list outright refuse to import. It tries to import them, but then just spams hundreds of critical errors and doesn't actually import:

Extensive Google searching has shown me only two things:
Official support pages have nothing even remotely close to this issue, apparently it should just work instantly and without issues, but of course it's never that simple.
Some clarifications:

Something else I'd like to add - getting actual human support for VRChat-related issues, whether it's from official sources or the community, has always been extremely frustratingly hard. Every issue I've ever had with either the application itself, Unity, or otherwise, there's always been minimal contact with official support and the internet is strangely void of community support. I don't know if that's true now but 5 years ago, there were no forums to discuss things, there were no community help groups, everyone on this subreddit would ignore tech support posts, every issue I've ever run into, I've never solved because there were no resources. I PRAY this is no longer the case, especially right now since I quite literally cannot export worlds anymore.

2024.05.15 09:19 ineedausernamepls333 how do i forget about a friendship fast?

i think one of my friendships has just ended and it kinda devastated me. but i need to get over it quick because i have two ap tests coming up this week and finals the week after. i can’t help but keep thinking about the friendship and seeing them around, but i need to move on fast. i keep getting distracted when i study such as thinking about moments we shared together and actions that i did that ruined the friendship. this even happens during testing which does not make me be in the right mood for the exam and throws me off my game. i need to stop thinking about them and “lock in” for studying but i don’t know how
