I decided to do it in a summery short version because I don’t want to feel like a tease or keeping you guys waiting I won’t drop names or specific location mostly things that has to do with the recovery and time on mdma pills
How I obtained the bags : me and my friend found a good trustworthy source and decided to buy bulk while the legit pills where around they where a variety of different shapes some basic like angry birds , 1up mushrooms,teslas until the second bag we where planning on both using and selling only during festival season or for summer more party like seasons which we would take a certain amount with us that event to sell
While we did test the top of the bags which was cleared for mdma I won’t lie and say we tested the whole batches but can vouch every pill had the same effect idk
The good : while my time on mdma i had social experiences I never would of had otherwise it helped me understand a lot about my depression and anxiety along with social anxiety in big crowds. Another thing was connecting with people in a deeper level really understanding the full spectrum of deep emotion found alot of new and odd music that I still listen to that I am grateful for completely took away doubt in terms of trying new things or going new places with out those little shapes I don’t think I would’ve had a glimpse of normal life without depression and anxiety.
It sure in hell helped me creatively not that I wasn’t without it because as a hobby I love designing and concepting things such as films ,books , animation even found that I’m pretty decent at rock music well back up vocals but that’s the beauty ig finding some sort of new talent
Where I messed up at is falling I love with the therapeutic aspect of it because I would take it a lot solo and dig with in my self to completely understand every aspect as well as other aspects of people psyche it was so refreshing to connect in this way… non the less good things can’t last for ever.
Lol as for pleasure ehhh I mean yes can be horny but not as it seems in media also for my males out there dude be ready for e dick 🤣 aka the shrivels
What it really helped me with is coming to terms with wounds from exs that never fully healed or suppressed especially with a girl which was my first long term relationship 5 yes
Helped me plan/focus on a way I wanted to be and self improvement I won’t say this for everyone though depends on how you use mdma
Helped alot with ptsd letting shit go and setting rules/boundaries
The bad
The sweet release and momentum you get from them leads you to taking them everyday for me ig to be more consistent in mental mood (even though this would have the reverse opposite coming off the first year bad )
I found my self building a tolerance leading to dosing 3 times a day max no I’m not a mad man I think I would be dead hell I’m not sure how I’m not dead with the abuse lol but sure I’m hell ain’t the same
I won’t say all the connection but a quarter of them where fake ig or not intense for the person once completely sober it can lead to of alot of truthful moments maybe not ready to be touched on or maybe the person/oneself can’t handle. Can say Boths builds or destroy relationships/friendships
The brain fog on brakes are shit depending on how active your day is can be tolerable what sucks it’s the frequent space outs and irritability
Idk if other hard users have or do experience this but frequent sleep paralysis no audio or visual hallucinations though
Please please I stress stay hydrated with water or the frequent urination will persist took me months after for it to get better still piss like a racing horse more then usual
Ehhhh depending on diet and fitness I found my self bouncing between 150 to 205 male in his 20s it will knock your hunger sometimes not eating half of the day
Some days finding myself wasting the day away hyper focusing on few things and not finishing them getting distracted
Another part where I messed up at was dosing in the morning I feel my not giving my body time to naturally register and then simply rolling to frequent
Leading up to the ugly I did take a month break but one night the night of clarity was when I started back up took 4 in a day idk how I didn’t od but definitely got serotonin syndrome which was hell lasted a couple days well the side effects
The ugly aka after
Dude the first year was hell I won’t lie mostly mental can’t say I suffered to many physical effects besides easier for body temperature to rise and memory
The first year was almost unbearable I’m a way it feels like a chemical lobotomy no emotions just the most intense extreme sadness sometimes not leaving my room
Weaker vision like in terms I can’t focus on things long like I use to before blurring or higher sensitivity to light/sun
Restless leg syndrome for a couple months and a cloud of anxious feelings Ovr your head like say when you’re in highschool and you get called out after school to fight the next day at lunch
Times of just spacing out staring straight forward
Chills and inconsistent body temperature
Robotic emotional responses noooo not even my favorite songs triggered anything it was just like blabbering in the background while I spaced out
Bad short term memory lost this has gotten better now on year two but memory issues still persist like if I want to remember a fun memory I have to really sit and think also not very vivid as it use to be to described in a story
No interest in simple human interaction such as a short convo improved after half a year clean
alot of light headedness through out day to day task with shortness of breath and heart palpitations but these all have dissipated thank god
It was weird for half a week one pupil was dilated
Frequent urination although has gotten way better i still have to piss more then I use to
This is a shitpost summery I will make a cleaner more detailed description of each part separately but feel free to ask questions below I just didn’t want to keep you guys waiting I’m pretty sure I’m missing some stuff but hey I’ll get it in the full individual post.

Hi guys!
My name is Kirill. I’m looking for a tutor, who is an English native speaker. If you don’t know any other languages apart from English that’s even better.
The classes are gonna be just like talks about everything.
My English is B2, I just need more practice. Interests :cryptocurrency, economics, IT, languages, Middle East politics, but I’m open to new topics.
Payment in cryptocurrency is better
Or if you study Russian we can go barter

Hi my name is Chase, I'm from Atlanta Georgia as the title says. And I have cerebral palsy it's basically brain damage at birth. I can still move around I'm not paraplegic. I just can't walk. (Yes my penis still works)
With that out of the way. I'm someone who likes to write and I'm someone who actually likes to read. And I'm also in the middle of writing a novella. And I also really love TableTop role playing games. That gets my creative juices really flowing.
Another aspect of me is I love music, especially grunge, emo, nu metal, or just metal in general.
Finally there is another aspect of myself I'm a gay top (I'm okay with dating trans men) who has a soft spot for edgy guys. I'm kind of the type of person who isn't easily offended. So if I sound like your guy message me :-)

So I'd been hanging out with this artist and DM duo online for quite a while, after meeting Art Lady through her commissions, and I loved her and generally thought the husband was pretty cool most of the time... I joined DM's 5e game, where everyone played as dragons themed after different things, like love, roses, gold, etc, and we could all turn into 'almost' human forms. All seemed pretty cool early on. We even got custom abilities (though DM didn't seem to understand or want to allow my character simply being resistant to cold weather, meanwhile others got some *powerful* abilities)
Dragon forms were powerful, but dragons were hunted in this setting, so there was also an added danger to using them, despite the +10 to ability scores, double HP, breath weapons, multiple melee attacks, and custom abilities. It worked relatively well, honestly, though it certainly had issues, and DM couldn't make up his mind on certain details.
I played a dragon of sunlight and cleric of the Sun, going by the name Monday Bell in her human form; she hated being a dragon and did her best to hide her nature. I enjoyed creating her, and I loved some of the character interactions, but...
DM had some really questionable encounter designs and rulings. It would take forever to explain, but basically it felt like he thought "you can't do anything once X happens" and likely instant-kill musket shots were fun. Yeah... Anyway, I stayed for the characters.
DM was obsessed with PCs being as mechanically different as possible. He didn't allow people to have the same class (including a 1-level dip into Monk just for better AC as an unarmored person), AND... He didn't allow people to have the same... highest ability score. I kid you not. He went so far as to tell casters to base their spells off of different abilities than the rules say (he gave specific options for each class) so there's no twinsies... I really hated this, and I should have dropped out before I joined, when I saw that rule of his.
DM also said that Art Lady and her friend were uncomfortable with my character flirting with theirs... Monday hadn't flirted with anyone. She was vaguely affectionate, putting a hand on someone's arm sometimes, but that was it; that's not flirting. DM claimed I put Art Lady "into a position where she couldn't say no", because... Monday had asked her PC if they could share a hotel room (not a bed!) for a night, when Monday was scared by something earlier. Um... If Art Lady's PC said no, I would've asked the others; it's just that Monday didn't get along with them as well. They were kind of sus, actually.
Side note: I found the flirting accusation extra weird, because I had consensually flirted with Art Lady before (fiancé also saying he was fine with it); I'd think they'd know the difference between flirting and my character being friendly and compassionate. I was baffled.
Then the "saint" issue. For context: DM previously said "there are no gods in this setting, only saints." He defined saints, then said "Or you can worship a heavenly body, a magical place, or mythical creatures". Sounded cool. As a child, I was a closeted lesbian abused by a Christian cult, and I'm still processing some of that trauma, so I squirmed at the word saint, but I can worship the Sun? that sounds cool! I'll be a pretty dragon lady who gets power from the Sun. Awesome. A couple months into the game, DM reveals to me that ALL worship is saint worship; that I MUST worship them to be a cleric, and my Sun worship would in fact be worship of saints who embody aspects of the Sun... This completely invalidates my character concept. He then finally tells me that the campaign contains intentional Christian references. I'm very uncomfortable.
I'm not anti-Christian, but I am very uncomfortable interacting with Christian-specific themes in games. I wasn't the only one either; the paladin was supposed to be an "ocean" worshiper, and was pretty uncomfortable when I mentioned what DM said to me; she didn't want to play a character worshiping "saints" and was pretty uncomfortable with it. This person wasn't in the game for a few sessions, and DM said to her that she couldn't rejoin since it would be narratively awkward after too long, but gave us a different story; I had to get that from her directly. Her coming back didn't work, but replacing us was fine, apparently. Wow.
I did quit the game, but only after the "saint" conversation; DM said I wasn't allowed in his games anymore, but he was allowing me to stay on his Discord server, because "it would be evil" to kick me off. I then saw that DM and Art Lady had left my Discord server without even mentioning it... I then wrote up a long message to the 2 of them carefully explaining how DM had effectively banned me for having religious trauma and (politely) questioning his crazy rules, and that DM had anger issues, communication issues, and a track record of making me cry a few times before, and that I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. But I wished them both to become healthier, less codependent people.
DM then posted on his server that I "was not so friendly" and warned others about me trying to talk to them, as if I was going to do something harmful. This is absurd, as I had expressed not anger, but sadness and pain. I wished they could've been the people I thought they were before I joined that game, but they weren't; they were toxic, codependent crazy people, and DM was a hyper-controlling jerk with some bad anger issues. I'm a little scared for Art Lady, but also, does she want to be independent or functional? She seemed to like relying on DM for everything, which makes me sad; that's not a recipe for a healthy or happy life.
This experience has made me want to be a more lenient GM myself, and I just don't want to tell people no when I don't have to anymore and I want to be more careful about boundaries/triggers than that guy was, but I don't want to say yes to things that don't fit the game world. I'm trying to find the right balance, and oh, I am galvanized after that.
I hope this story encourages others to watch for these sort of issues in games they join.

Everybody keeps saying that the new movie should be a Kong movie, and I do personally agree with this even though I like to see Godzilla, who seems to be a very long cameo in a movie that has his name written first. But that begs a question, hypothetically how'd you rewrite GxK to make it more like a Kong movie?
Mine is not the best, but I'll try my best.
The movie intro starts nearly the same, but remove all Godzilla scene, until the traps Kong set up collapsed, and Skar King emerged from the gap. Instead of destroying the outpost like he did in the movie, he'd try to lure Kong in the uncharted area without Monarch knowing. Then Kong ventures around, meets a Drownviper and almost gets incapacitated (doesn't make sense given that Kong killed it canonically), just before Kong gets drowned, Skar King takes the opportunity and swiftly saves Kong from the eel-like titan.
For Skar King, who is better be bigger and stronger than Kong, he should be extremely manipulative in an emotional sense, but the tyrannical sadistic side should be kept hidden until the big reveal. Kong, still too shocked and surprised to see a fellow species of his though he is a bit different, would immediately follow him around without any hesitation, who took him back to his kingdom. The red ape puts on a friendly facade and tells him that the Gojira species locked him and the apes up, thus, making Kong's already present dislike toward Godzilla grow.
When they get back to the kingdom, which doesn't contain Shimo like the movie did, Kong does express sadness after seeing how malnourished his species are, making his sympathy toward Skar King bigger. Here's a really stupid catch, prior to inviting Kong, Skar King basically becomes Kim Jong un and turns every ape into an NPC, which means actors. They'd act all scared and surround Kong, thus, fueling the big guy's remorse and empathy. The red ape would then introduce Kong to Suko, who'd later be Kong's companion and savior, and say that he could lead the apes to a better place, that's if he got the Hollow Earth energy with Kong's help. Wanting to free his people and the emotional manipulation from Skar, Kong instantly agrees without even noticing Suko's fearful expression.
Kong, Suko, Skar King and his armies set out to find the energy that could help the apes thrive. Along the way, Kong would notice Suko's anxiety around his own father but never question why. Nevertheless, the big guy would still bond over his nunchuck, and a montage of them skipping rocks on the lake and Kong teaching Suko how to properly throw a rock at someone's head (This might or might not be crucial). After reaching an unknown area, the whole scout manage to find a crystal that could help them control megafauna and even smaller titans (kinda like Shimo but wider range).
But upon acquiring the crystal, Suko suddenly snatches it from Kong's hand, and Skar King, along with his subordinates, laughs hysterically and says that Kong is a stupid moron. Skar King then reveals that he is the tyrant who caused the Titan War and starves the apes, and Kong realizes that the one who saves him was just power-hungry dictator. Confused, enraged and betrayed, Kong challenges him into a fight, and Skar King pulls out his whip, which then breaks Kong's rotten tooth. Kong does put up a good fight, but ultimately, he loses to Skar King's superior build and experience. Instead of chopping his head off with his axe, Suko says that throwing him off the cliff will do just find, and for once, Skar King agrees with his son. They take the axe and dump Kong's body over the cliff, but using his most powerful weapon ever (plot armor), he falls into a lake and survives but heavily injured.
He crawls back to Jia and Ilene, saying that he lost his home and people because of his stupidity and ignorance. Jia then tells him that she also lost her people and home and he will lose his species if he decides to do nothing. Kong gets motivated and is given a BEAST glove and instantly heads to Skar King's lair, where the tyrant is still flaunting his new piece of weapon that could help him rule the surface. When Kong arrives and once again challenges Skar King, who is surprised to see him but happy to accept the offer. With the BEAST glove, Kong clearly has the edge and sometimes grapples Skar and beats him up quite easily. Skar King spits out his tooth and tests his new toy, which attracts a bunch of Wart Dogs and Spineprowlers to attack Kong, who prevailed with minor injuries.
When Kong manages to pin Skar King down and chokes him, the tyrant swallows his pride and orders his subordinates to jump Kong all at once. The other apes hopelessly watch as Kong, despite being the strongest specimen of his species, can't fight all of the stripped apes. Even though one punch from his BEAST glove can put them to sleep, it's too much for Kong to manage, and eventually, he succumbs but still keep fighting. This desperate act seems to motivate the starved apes, but they don't have the courage to stand against them, but then, Suko, and Doug as his battle horse, roars as he throws rocks at his father's head. A small act of retaliation sparks a flame, and the apes all rush down to help Kong fight the Skar King and his armies.
Kong is then released and faces Skar King again, who is now more pissed off and swears that he'll kill every traitor when this is over. After a short fight in the arena, Kong and Skar King would then stop to catch a breath before continuing. Of course, Skar King notices the weakest Kong, Gnarled Finger, sneaking up on him, and he smiles before kicking the ape into the lava. Suko witnesses this and cries out in agony, and Kong, enraged, charges forward and goes all feral.
The final battle ends up with Kong prevailing and having Skar King at his mercy. Just as before Kong drops him into the lava like he did to Gnarled Finger, our protagonist chooses to spare him, but not without any consequences. Skar King, now utterly defeated and humiliated, and his army were now banished from his own kingdom by an outsider. He swears revenge and desire to take over the world, but Kong doesn't give a shit about his trash talking and throws the crystal into the lava, destroying it. The movie ends with Kong doing a victory roar along with his apes, and the our big guy is crowned King Kong.
The after-credit begins with a roar, and a broken crystal is dropped to the ground. Skar King, still could not let go of his revenge of both Kong and Godzilla, sadistically smiles as he grabs the crystal, and a roar of pain can be heard from a cave that seems to have two glowing blue eyes.
Yeah, not the best plot but that's all I can come up with. I'd have liked it more if Skar King was more of a threat instead of Shimo since he was hyped up so much. We heard the word 'hunger' in the reveal video, but in the film, he only ate once. No cannibalism, no eating Gojira, just... some Hollow Earth creatures. Ngl, I kinda hate it when the novel confirms that Kong could kill Skar King. Well, I hope that they release some comic about the Titan War, which could give us insight more about Skar King and his past.

If you're considering starting a business, you've probably heard about Limited Liability Companies (LLCs).
But what exactly are they, and why might they be the perfect fit for your venture?
In this little post I shall lay out a few things you need to consider before you start your LLC.

What is an LLC?

An LLC combines the best of both worlds: the liability protection of a corporation and the flexibility of a partnership. When you form an LLC, you're not only taking responsibility for your company's profits and losses but also safeguarding your personal assets.

Advantages of Forming an LLC

There are several compelling reasons why opting for an LLC might be the right move for your business:

1. Limited Liability: With an LLC, your personal assets are protected. If your company faces legal issues or debts, your personal finances remain untouched. This is a stark contrast to sole proprietorships or partnerships, where personal liability is a significant concern.
2. Less Corporate Formalities: Unlike other business structures, such as corporations, LLCs have fewer formalities. You won't need to conduct annual meetings or file extensive paperwork, making the setup process relatively hassle-free.
3. Flexibility in Management: Unlike corporations, which have rigid management structures, LLCs offer flexibility. You can tailor the management process to suit your business's needs, whether that means centralized decision-making or a more collaborative approach.

Key Considerations Before Starting an LLC

Now that you're sold on the idea of forming an LLC, it's time to delve into the nitty-gritty details. Here are some essential pointers to keep in mind:
1. Choose a Unique Business Name
Your business name is your brand's identity, so choose wisely. Here are some tips for selecting the perfect name:

• Keep it simple and memorable.
• Brainstorm with your team to generate ideas.
• Avoid trendy buzzwords that may become outdated.
• Ensure the name is not already in use by another business in your state.

2. Select Your Headquarters Location
Consider your target audience and the specific laws governing LLCs in different states when choosing your business's location.
3. Develop Your Business Plan and Obtain Necessary Documents
Craft a comprehensive business plan and apply for a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) from the IRS. Additionally, open a separate bank account for your business to keep your finances organized.
4. Obtain Licenses and Permits
Ensure you have all the required licenses and permits for your business's operation, both at the state and federal levels.
5. Define Management Style and Set Up Accounting Systems
Create an operating agreement to establish roles and responsibilities within your LLC. Additionally, explore insurance options and consider implementing accounting software to streamline your financial processes.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to establishing a successful LLC that provides both protection and flexibility for your business endeavors.

Everyone that doesn’t live under a rock knows smoking cigarettes is not a good long term plan. My sister (32F I will call Samantha) is with her baby’s father (52M I will call G-Paid). I call him my brother in law even though they are not married. G-Paid has 3 other children with other women. He is an aspiring rapper and DJ. He works local clubs and car dealership give away. He recently got a job DJ’ing at the local skate rink every other Saturday.
He has a monthly gig at a furniture store but decided to freestyle gangster rap and offend d the church crowd and got fired. We all have struggles and G-Paid is no exception. He sometimes spends his money he gets from doing shows on booze and what he calls chronic. He tells the family that he is always looking for work but doesn’t leave the house during the day light hours.
His best friend is named Gator (49M). Gator has multiple children with numerous women. Flash back to 3 weeks ago and Gator disappeared and has not been seen since. He had local gang ties and was not a great guy. Samantha is friends with Gators new side piece. I don’t know her name. Gator’s baby mama that he lives or lived with is named Unique (26F). Unique doesn’t know about the side piece. He is in my with her because she is pregnant again. Gator left the house on April 30th to buy smokes and not has been seen since. I should mention he smokes methol. This will come into play since Gator’s Dad and also G-Paid’s Fathers also disappeared when they went out to buy cigarettes.
I started researching this and found that 54,000 middle aged men who smoke menthol disappear every year while buying smokes.
Obviously there is someone kidnapping middle aged black fathers when they go to buy menthol cigarettes.
I told G-Paid that I want him to consider quitting so he can be around for the next 18 months or so of my nieces life until he moves on to another Shorty. Samantha said that I am sticking my nose in his business and he will go “Wayne Brady on my ass”. If I keep it up.
I should note he has pulled a gun on me twice already. One time was for “steppin to him”, and the second time was for “frontin his spot”.
I was only telling him they were repoing his Escalade rims and the second time I don’t know what he was talking about. He said he was talking to Sherman Hensley and he was “buggin”
AITAH for wanting to save my BIL?

Game 3 all Donovan had to do was barely dribble left or right and he got the matchup he wanted and abused it every time. And last night Garland used his speed and craftiness to blow by them.
Trust me I understand the benefits of switch coverage defense but I don’t get why they allow it to happen so easily. We have the best guard matchup we could ask for with D.White and Holiday going against Mitchell and Garland but it seems like the moment they cross half court they switch and have Hauser, Horford or Pritchard cover them instead. Thompson (and Bam last round) set some annoying but good screens multiple times a possession to get their guy open which is where it’s good to have 5 players able to switch and rotate, I’m just yelling at my screen watching the game seeing poor Al Horford struggle to keep Mitchell from lighting him up 5 threes in a row because they switched almost immediately. What is the point of having this personnel if not for these moments to cover their most dangerous guy for even a few possessions

I keep freezing up entirely and I'm unable to correct, and then I end up really upset and annoyed because I want to correct and not have to dread seeing certain people because they misgender me. I am pre-T still, so I do straight up look like a girl tbh, but I am fully socially transitioned so these people just think I am a girl named Luke. It's driving me insane. I don't know how to tell them I am a guy.
My attempts in the past to correct people have gone very awkwardly with people not believing I am a man so much that when I said "Um I'm a guy" they have stared in disbelief and I have had to repeat myself and I end up apologising for saying I am one. Lmao one time one person misheard me and think I'm announcing I am a guide, as in a girl guide. Othertimes I have been like made to prove my masculinity and generally heckled, or get a lot of weird looks. I'm really bad for like freezing up and fawn responsing to the point where I am unable to correct people who I know are safe to correct.
I am rambling a bit but yeah essentially how do I not be terrified to correct people

Hi charlotte! Luv your videos. So me (F-17) And friend (F-17) we can call friend; Tiffany (not her real name) Me and Tiffany have had lots of issues. We first met at one of my best friends birthday parties. i always got the sense that Tiffany didn’t like me being friends with “her bestfriend” but i just ignored it and moved on, Me and Tiffany bonded, and Tiffany invited me to her party. We were all having fun playing games, and then cake time came around. I was sitting there eating peacefully, and she then brought up something weird about this guy that we ALL hated. I said “thats disgusting” as a comment on what she had said. But Tiffany and her mom took that offensively and thought i said that about her cake, which was obviously not true, so they were framing me (i guess to get rid of me so Tiffany can have her “best friend” all to herself) I just thought it was weird how Tiffany was framing me, and making rude comments about me. So i texted her to make sure she understood that i was not talking about her cake, i texted in quote “Hey, im sorry about saying something that came off as rude, but i promise you i was talking about that guy, not your cake” I even asked a couple of the other people who were at the party if what i said was okay, and they all said that they thought i was talking about the guy, not the cake. So the next day i went to school, thinking the misunderstanding was resolved. Wrong. Me and Tiffany have a class together, so I walked into class and she almost immediately said “My mom said i’m not allowed to be friends with you anymore” i was shocked and confused, as we are both almost adults, So why would her mom have to make decisions for her. She knew that the comment wasn’t about her cake, but I decided I would ignore it and if she doesn’t want to stick up for me towards her mom, than so be it. We made up quite a bit over time so me, Tiffany, and a couple other friends, all went to the mall for a girls day. (Keep in mind i am short and small) We stumbled upon a store that had baby clothes, and she said “Oh look! You could fit in those!” Very snobby/petty-ish while pointing to a couple baby clothes. I don’t like people commenting on my height, and she knew that. I tried to ignore it, but eventually confronted her as this went on at least three times in the whole day. She just rolled her eyes and said “whatever” when i had confronted her, and if she doesn’t care about my bounderies, then buh-bye. So even though we are not friends, we are on good terms right now but she does make rude comments, and laugh about them, etc. (Btw the only thing i ask for is for people not to comment on my height bc i get made fun of for it)

I've been debating on whether to come out to my parents or not (and worried, given that they've made a more than a few transphobic comments) but since I've been forced out by my dad as he decided it would be a great idea to look through some of the stuff I've bought. So I thought it's probably better to just get it over and done with and so I can go by a different name and pronouns in school without it being a big shock to them if they find out (I know they won't kick me out though, just probably won't respect me).
I'm still a minor, a really nervous person and have difficulty talking to anyone about my issues and things I want to tell them in person, and I know if I tell them over text I'll be very anxious for when I get back. I don't have the confidence to tell them in person and I can't explain it well, so I have no other ideas on a way to come out while causing the least amount of drama. I would really appreciate any advice you guys have.
(side note that my mum already suspects I'm trans)

I'm a designer at an ad agency and occasionally do post production on commercial shoots. And I've gotten spoiled with the quality of photos and how much information you can recover in the darks and lights from these extremely high resolution raw photos shot on top-tier cameras by the professional photographers we hire.
But I'm looking for a camera for my own personal use. I could save up and get an R5 and that'll probably get me there. But that seems like it's a bit beyond my own needs.
I don't do photography super often. Mainly I will either do street photography when I travel, or I use my camera for utility purposes – Shooting photos of paper mockups, portfolio shots of packaging pieces I've designed, making content videos for my own music instagram, taking photos for album and single artwork (as I also play music and produce for fun), etc.. So I like versatility, but with a niche in street photography.
My problems with the current Rebel T5i:

• I feel like it struggles when I cant get enough light. Photos are quite noisy in general. ISO on this camera only goes up to 12800. It seems newer cameras usually go up higher. But if I need to go above 400 at all, it'll be pretty noisy.
• Dynamic range seems to be a struggle. Even the raw photos are not very forgiving when trying to recover lights and darks. Again, this is in comparison to photos we get back from photoshoots shot on full-frame cameras.
• Mirrored camera. So it is much slower and more bulky and loud than a mirrorless.
• No 4k video. Not the biggest issue, but I'd like the option.

What I'd like:

• I'm seeing some mixed information on full frame sensors. But I feel like that would help with the issues I'm facing and I would appreciate the wider view from a larger sensor.
• I'd like to keep my camera as compact and light as possible when doing street photography. So I'd like there to be decent options as far as pancake prime lenses. I have a canon 24mm which I don't love. I also have a Sigma 35mm Art lens that I absolutely love, except that it's quite large.
• Mirrorless – I think this helps the camera be quieter, faster and more compact. Also great that many mirrorless cameras have a screen in the viewfinder so you aren't literally staring at the sun when shooting at the sun.
• Something that does well in low light with much less noise than I currently get.

What cameras would you guys recommend? What other features and specs are important to look for nowadays?
A friend recommended the Fuji x100v. I love that for the street photography, but I would probably have to keep my Rebel t5i for just general camera utility uses with different lenses. It doesn't seem like a full replacement.
I'd say budget is under $2000 for camera body. But I'm in no rush and can save up the money. I just want to know what to aim for.
Also, currently I have Canon EF and EFS lenses and I know that pretty much anything I'm looking at is going to be incompatible. If I want to stay compact (not ad an inch with a converter), I'm probably going to end up selling these and buying new lenses for a replacement camera.

This post is way longer than originally intended. Having some issues getting klipper to maintain a stable connection to mcu.
Printer: CR-10 Smart Pro 2022
Pi: 4b
Services: Klipper + Octoprint 1.10.0

FIRMWARE_VERSION:v0.12.0-180-g79930ed9 FIRMWARE_NAME:KlipperFIRMWARE_VERSION:v0.12.0-180-g79930ed9 FIRMWARE_NAME:Klipper 

After initial install everything was working. I was having issues with "ls /dev/serial/by-id/*". Received "ls: cannot access '/dev/serial/by-id/*': No such file or directory" but magically cleared up after diag commands "lsusb" and "dmesg". Not sure what did it but I did nothing special that I can remember.
"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0"
After I updated the config with the "by-id" I had complete control over the printer and no problems.
Something I always do with a fresh install of a linux distro is "sudo apt update" & "sudo apt upgrade". (May of been a bad idea)
After upgrade completed I "restart system" from octoprint webpage and still had no issues.
Continuing I installed some plugins() and the moved on to getting the creality cam that the printer came with working assuming that it may be a fools errand.
After plugging in the camera and checking the octoprint "webcam stream". The webcam was still not working.
I restarted the pi from octoprint screen and from there I received errors connecting to mcu. Shows "standby" and attempting to press connect returned error.
"ls /dev/serial/by-id/*" no longer returns the id and gives me the same error "ls: cannot access '/dev/serial/by-id/*': No such file or directory"
Checked lsusb and dmesg. Everything looks good.
"ls /dev/serial/by-path/*" gives me a good output.
"/dev/serial/by-path/platform-fd500000.pcie-pci-0000:01:00.0-usb-0:1.1:1.0-port0"
Klipper faq - "Wheres my serial port" states "If you are using multiple micro-controllers and they do not have unique ids (common on boards with a CH340 USB chip) then follow the directions above using the command ls /dev/serial/by-path/* instead."
dmesg command returns
[ 6.129402] usbcore: registered new interface driver ch341
[ 6.129485] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for ch341-uart
[ 6.129561] ch341 1-1.1:1.0: ch341-uart converter detected

[ 6.144085] bcm2835-codec bcm2835-codec: Loaded V4L2 encode
Obviously related to the camera.
Updating the config with the "by-path" output allows me to connect to the printer but any sent command other than the constant m105 will give me an error.
Printer is shutdown Recv: !! Shutdown due to M112 command Changing monitoring state from "Operational" to "Error"Recv: // Shutdown due to M112 commandRecv: // Shutdown due to M112 command Recv: // Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the Recv: // "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the Recv: // config, and restart the host software. Recv: // Printer is shutdown
Printer does not shutdown in reality and at one point after restarting everything pressing the home button on octoprint. turned the fan on but also issued the same m112 command and error.
Was it sudo apt upgrade?
Was it plugging in the camera?
Notes about sudo apt upgrade:
I found an old post (https://www.reddit.com/klippers/comments/11gf40c/not\_able\_to\_run\_ls\_devserialbyid\_advice\_greatly/) about someone using linux mint who was running into the same issue. someone had commented "
Mint also includes a braille reader that blocks access to the serial port by default. Try these commands to uninstall one program that for sure will block it, and the second will show the status if ModemManager is installed, and if so, it may need to be removed as well

sudo apt remove brltty sudo service ModemManager status
I attempted the first command but it returned not installed
The second command returned an active service.
"sudo apt list" returns these 5 related to brltty:

modem manager is now uninstalled.
brltty still shows not installed.
Notes about the camera and printer.
Camera was plugged into a usb 2.0 port while the serial connection is a usb 3.0.
I've never seen this thing work. The printer has both a usb-c connection and a usb-a.
usb-a is strictly for the webcam because it connects to the wifi box not the mcu.
The wifi box is 100% defective out of the box. I could go into details but this post is long enough. I have been using the printer reliably using only the sd card and the physical screen on the printer.
Sorry this is so long. I'm obviously losing it. I'm attempting to show that I have been through all of the usual fixes. My plan from here is to reflash the pi and go back to the beginning of the klipper installation for the 3rd time. This time no "sudo apt upgrade" and no camera.
Eventually I'd like to plug in a camera but I need to know whats going on because the camera just seems to break everything.
Attempt #1 - Camera was already plugged in. "sudo apt upgrade" was ran. Never managed to get the printer to respond. Made it to a "operational" state but like stated before any attempt to send a command other than m105 errors out.
Attempt #2 - Fuctional. Responds to commands moving axises, heating up nozzle/bed, reports temps. Then broke after either apt upgrade or plugging in camera.
Attempt #3 - (Will update this when completed.)
I'm giving up for now and going fishing later. I will be checking on this until I come back from fishing (7/8p est). If you want more info about its current state post a comment I can run some more commands. Any help is appreciated!

Genocide Reigns
(note: I'm an indie game developer making an action/horror title called Phantasphere. This story is a spin off set in the same universe)
Year 2480X Ryze County Police Department
He's coming. The ensuing panic spread like a virus infecting all present with symptoms of looming dread. Officers worked steadfast to prepare also taking what time remained to train the few combat hardened civilians whom had fled to the station earlier. If only they knew. This demon that presented itself as a man had led a string of senseless massacres across the country. Only recently had it begun to prioritize police stations and army bases as a means of breaking the will of civilians who knew they would be next. Officers from several counties across the states were transferred here for this last stand. This Genocide must not continue. Gracia checked her pistol. Some 20 bullets remained. "I can do this", she thought, "I have to". She had dealt with similar cases before. Some poor soul is overtaken by some inextricably evil force and makes it their life's work to propagate death. Gracia had killed quite a few already. Live arrests weren't always possible. Beyond saving, careful interrogations of the scarce live catches yielded a startling connection. These killers all alluded to a well of overwhelming hatred and despair that consumed them after making eye contact with...Pale, black eyed entities. Some type of demon? Ghost maybe? The idea seemed nonsensical, but there was evidence nonetheless that some outside force was using them to fulfill some unknown purpose. At the present time, all they could do was stop the killers after they had killed. It was always too late by then and more would appear randomly elsewhere. What good could be done here in an isolated station hoping to stop one guy out of possibly hundreds? "The guy we're waiting for is different from the others," detective Evans spoke from the center of a crowd nearby. Gracia moved in closer. "The others typically strike from the shadows, hide their faces behind masks, and prefer to get up close and personal with their victims. What we're dealing with is on a completely different scale. The trail of bloodshed this guy leaves is too difficult for the media to cover up. He loves the spectacle. Headlining the news. We can't keep using the burst pipeline excuse for 6 stations being destroyed in a row. We have to stop him before the world at large finds out. You wonder why we need so many people here? Its simple. We're gonna out-man this one man. He always attacks stations through the front door. Like other killers he's fast, strong- you know the usual, but he also uses guns." "What!", a voice rang out from the crowd. "They aren't supposed to do that!" another gasped. Officer Lary spoke with a cheesy grin" Ya tellin' me we just gotta deal with a regular ass gunman eh? That's a welcome change of pace init? Heck I'm too old to be running around being chased like I'm in some scary movie". The detective rebutted" You don't get it. He uses guns. Not a handgun, not rifles, not boom sticks, not rpgs, not knives not grenades but ALL of them. He uses guns. Plural. It'll take essentially an army to match his arsenal. He used to be a man named -redacted-, but in his pursuit of chaos he has become Genocide." A dark form manifests from the night outside the station. Genocide is coming.
Bang! something slams into the front door. Everyone freezes. Officer Tatum edges slowly to it, shockgun in hand. By no means lethal, the shockgun was lighter, easy to control, and could stun targets temporarily. If Genocide was here, Tatum could stun him and duck for cover leaving the station free to light him up like a Christmas tree. That was the plan they came up with. He got closer to the glass door and peered outside. He was met with hate filled bloodshot eyes framed by an unkempt beard and wild straggly hair. Tatum felt some relief. He knew the man outside. It was Jim Jimenez. Jim was a former drug dealer turned informant. He was found out and had to flee from his old life. He became homeless, hiding in plane sight. This allowed him safety at the cost of his mental health. Tatum knew the man, but those eyes were not his. Tatum blinked and saw that the look of malice had vanished. What he instead saw was a helpless, wounded man, bleeding from the right arm pleading for help. Tatum looked behind Jim, eyeing the empty lot. The coast seemingly clear Tatum unlocked the door and let Jim in. Jim had been roaming the town looking for shelter and tried squatting in an abandoned looking apartment complex. There he found that the building contained several murdered families some succumbing to gunshots but the majority having met their end to fire and suffocation. Jim had decided to make his way to the station to tell police what happened and met trouble on the way. He described getting stabbed by a man wearing a trench coat with long dark hair. Despite the injuries, Jim could move surprisingly well and seemed to ignore the pain. Jim insisted that the man had spared him on the condition he deliver a message. "What message?" Tatum asked. Jim beckoned him to come closer. Tatum leaned in and Jim whispered, "Tell them. Tell them that Genocide is coming closer." The following events were a blur. Jim had concealed the knife he was stabbed with. He stabbed Tatum 4 times in the chest and wrestled his shockgun away. Using Tatum as a shield, Jim engaged everyone in the lobby. Jim wasn't himself. He was stronger. He was faster. He was tactical. He would stun an officer in place only to stab them and use their as a body shield. No one could get a clear shot without hitting a colleague. Gracia watched the scene unfold. In minutes Jim had acquired a magnum from the holster of one of his victims. In seconds 3 officers had their heads exploded. The magnum rounds coated the walls red with those they hit and stained the clothes of those they missed. Gracia felt fear rising in her chest. She calmed herself and tried to think. She saw the bodies on the ground. The blood. She saw how dismissively Jim stepped over them. Like they were nothing. Like trash. She saw the man firing erratically into groups of people, not so much to kill but as to cause panic. That's it! As Gracia contemplated her next move it hit her. She was knocked backwards and landed on the ground. She weakly clutched her chest. Her breathing grew shallow. Jim mad his way deeper into the station. The officers were retreating from their standoff. Jim stepped over her body and saw red staining her uniform. Just another casualty. He moved on. At this point the civilians began panicking. Everyone gave up trying to save their allies and fired blindly at the madman. "Don't shoot the messenger," Jim laughed as he stripped his latest meat shield of an automatic rifle. Detective Evans took cover behind an overturned desk. To his left Larry struggled to light a cigar. "You still think this is a cakewalk?" Evans shouted firing 2 quick shots from his gun before ducking back down. Lary lost hold of his lighter and it clattered on the ground." Crap." He reached for it and looked in the corner of the room. A mirror. He looked at it for what seemed like ages and his smirk returned " Y'know that mex'n gal with the short hair. Where is she? I didn't see her get shot." Evans glanced a peak at Jim spraying lead in all directions. Behind him was a corpse. Evans blinked. It seemed to be getting closer. Its her. Gracia painstakingly inched her way into Jim's blind spot. She was roughly 6 feet away from him. Flanking him seemed like a brilliant idea but waiting idly by for the right moment as the people around her died filled her with anger. Worse still, she had to steal a blood soaked shirt from one of the deceased officers to keep up the facade. Inching ever so steadily she mad it within 3 feet of Jim. She reached behind her belt and unclipped a pair of handcuffs. Screams could be heard as more people were hit. Gracia couldn't wait any longer. Fluidly she got to her feet and rushed Jim. She kicked the back of his knee causing him to stumble as she put the handcuffs on him. Figuratively. The handcuffs were around Jim's neck. She yanked him back causing his gun to drop. "You don't know what you're doing." Jim spat. "We all need to accept it. The end of days is upon us. Death rides his horse through these forsaken lands. We must serve or be sacrificed in turn. Accept it!"He elbowed Gracia in the ribs causing her to let go. He spun around and lunged at her. She landed on her back, Jim steadily choking her. Gracia thought fast. She couldn't struggle. Jim was too strong. She delivered a precise chop to the center of Jim's neck which was exposed. Jim lurched back to catch his breath. A clean shot. A bullet pierced through Jim's back. Weakened, Gracia rolled him over and began punching him repeatedly using the handcuffs as brass knuckles. The sound of Jim's skull cracking echoed through the station. This would go on for nearly 20 seconds before Gracia stopped, checked his pulse, confirmed Jim was still alive, then finally put the cuffs on Jim's wrists.
Click. Bodies are wrapped and moved to a makeshift storage room. Click. The available weapons are gathered and redistributed. Click. Officers are assigned to sniping positions on neighboring buildings. Click. Police cruisers circle the lot outside. Click. In the holding cell, Jim opens his eyes. Click. Lary flicks his lighter. Click. Gracia sips coffee from a paper cup. Click. Shells hit the ground at the feet of Genocide. Click. Genocide walks outside a cafe and looks at the station in the distance. Click. Lary clicks his lighter.
"All ya'll gon' fall," Jim ranted." You can't drain the ocean. You can't put out the sun. Evil will always exist. That there Genocide is proof . I saw him. Saw myself within his eyes. Saw the evil in me that I could no longer try to hide. He taught me to embrace the darkness within. Its in all of us begging to be let out. Can you hear it!" Lary clicked his lighter and got up from his chair. He grabbed a cup of liquor from another officer mid sip and walked over to Jim. He doused it on Jim, the liquid stinging his open wounds. Jim yelped. Across the station, radios blurred to life. Several of their lookouts on the outside had been killed. "He's gon' get ya," Jim smiled imitating Lary's signature grin. "Genocide! Genocide! Genocide!" The other inmates saw the chance to irritate Lary and joined in all shouting in unison,"Ge-No-Cide! Ge-No-Cide! Ge-No-Cide!" The chanting grew louder. Unbearable. They invoked upon the name of the beast, and so it came.
Genocide is upon us. A wave of dread spread across the officers. They could feel its presence. Gracia knew the sensation. The awful aura that the other killers gave off. This was different. Far more oppressive. She struggled to breathe as the air got colder. Her instincts screamed for her to run. She could only imagine what the others were going through. Its time. Across the lot Genocide stood. A siren blared over the intercom. "Everyone get into positions!" Evans yelled. Wayne finished setting the last of the c4 near the station entrance. "That's the last of them. Have remote triggers set around all the major hallways. I'll be in the security room ready to pull the switch." Wayne acted as an explosives expert. His job was to detonate bombs placed throughout the station to slow down Genocide should it enter the building. He would stay in the security room, monitoring the cameras and giving real time updates on the officers' positions. From the holding cell, inmates chanted for Genocide. Lary got off his phone" That bastard mixed us up. How did we not notice?" Evans asked what he meant. Lary, dumbfounded, said that most of the town was already dead. Genocide had broken his usual pattern. He went on a killing spree across a defenseless town BEFORE attacking the police station. They had let everyone down. The people they swore to protect. This Genocide was a monster, but he was still a man. Capable of learning from his past actions. Planning. Adapting. It wasn't in his style to stealthily kill his victims or even use a silencer on any of his guns, but an exception had been made for tonight. An exception that would cost them. Gracia was stationed on the second floor. She peered out the window. Her heart skipped a beat. Two cruisers made slow donuts patrolling the lot and standing unmoving between them was a man all in black. Gracia called in to Wayne asking if he saw anything outside. Wayne said the monitors were all clear then checked again. He cursed. He noticed small details were off. The cameras showing the outside of the station were wrong. Sure they showed the same scenery and weather but cars passed by on screen too frequently for a dead town. Too many to make sense for the quarantine they had set in place. Wayne concluded that the cameras had been hacked. Different prerecorded footage was being shown on the live feed to misdirect them. Gracia saw the man look up at her. A light rain started to fall. The officers patrolling outside were contacted. From the holding cells, inmates called for genocide.

Yo. I tend to keep to myself but fuck that. I’m a 4 month YouTube apprentice with no job because this mother fucking school can’t even get working computers in PLC class. Since Mr. Guerra or whatever his name is can’t give me my money back, have fun with this shit you punk mother Fucker.
Forward : I paid $20,000 for this bullshit.
Here you go internet: tear it up.
WHEN the instructor doesn’t show up. Then, they are just like “idk? Go home?” Happened probably 7 times. Dude has 7-8 absences. He was the instructor. Prob showed up for 1/4 of the zoom meetings, go to fuckin rehab, and get your shit together.
I had a legit absence cuz I had gallstones and I was in the hospital but they just told me to take the L on (second month) cuz “students were making their own schedule”. What? I made up the fucking lab, dude. Solo. By your means. That shit has nothing to do with me. Fuck that shit. So you ruined my (meaningless) perfect attendance. Dope. Moving on.
They gave us a chrome book that was constructed by a fucking dachshund wearing a tin foil hat, I’ve never seen a tablet dented straight out the box. This is just fucking sad.
This country is oppressed wherever you got that from.
And shame on you for that.
(Only actual things I can do, install switches and bend conduit. Cuz I taught myself, by myself. Thanks for the fucking conduit, but I coulda bought that myself with that tuition money, so fuck that)
Fun fact: Everyone in admin got a nice watch. You could give me that watch , Pa. We’d then be fuckin square. Actually shoes, too. And the belt. Run that shit.
Third month was a joke, not even sure what the Fuck we did, watched YouTube videos I think one day we watched the fucking cable guy. Yeah. The movie. With Jim Carey. “Basic safety”.
They gave us the 2020 code book, not the CURRENT one. (I enrolled in January 2024), and they have not done shit with it besides arbitrarily tell us how to use the index, which was in itself fucking stupid cuz I paid 20 grand for this. And I’m not 12, and I know how to read? For real? I have pointless tabs now in an out-dated code book that I have no idea what the application is for.
Online class is a fucking joke, instructors and students don’t even put on the fucking cameras. I’m the only sweaty mf with a camera still on my nasty mug. Wtf? Half the students have avatars so it looks like I’m on a god damn children safari rainforest cafe Cept with no PLCS or a working panel. It’s fucking wack. Put the fucking camera on your face, dog. I don’t give a shit you think you’re pretty or not. That’s not showing up. That’s a bitch move.
IBEW said I am fucked cuz I gotta deal with this shit first. Fuck this place. And fucking shame on this administration.
They promised tools, I don’t have shit. They promise and education, I don’t have it. They promised a job, don’t have it.
And to be honest, I know they won’t deliver.

If you already didn't know who j0nathan is, then he's arguably one of the most reliable leakers when it comes to Assassin's Creed (only second behind Tom Henderson, imo), and has shared multiple leaks in the past back when the game still used to be known as Codename Red.
Just a little over an hour ago, he posted a new video about Shadows.
STORY DETAILS:

• Yasuke: j0nathan expands a bit more on his backstory. He starts off as a slave on a ship (deviation from bodyguarding a Jesuit in lore?). Said ship is invaded by a group of men (I'm assuming random pirates) and everyone—including his wife—is killed, and he's left for dead for days before he's found and brought to a temple in Japan. There, he learns about the samurai while in the service of Oda Nobunaga.
  
• Corroborates an earlier leak of Hattori Hanzō. j0nathan speculates we'll get to see his death happen since he historically dies in 1597.
  
• Naoe: Just a repeat of his earlier tweet about her name and backstory about the Order (has to be the Templars, not the Ancients) killing her father (even adds her entire family being added to that in the new video), and that pushes her to join the shinobi/Assassins (he actually says it's unclear to him about whether or not it's join or create, but it has to be join since the shinobi were already active for 200+ years).
  

j0nathan then spends the next few minutes talking about the cryptic code Ubisoft posted, but he hasn't said anything new. He then talks about the cinematic trailer for a bit, but Google Translate is so shoddy that I couldn't tell just what exactly he was talking about, only something about the Japanese countryside shown in the snippet Ubisoft shared.
Prices:

• j0nathan then talks about a a post made by Twitter user Ubisoft_Frax (was this the same guy who originally leaked the Shadows name change?) about some of the prices in the game.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows - Prices ——

There's also another post about the game's base price being $59.99, but j0nathan speculates it's just the price on PC since "it's always a little cheaper than on console".

Hi guys, I recently bought a NDS lite and have refurbished it / new battery screens on order and have disassembled the whole thing, gave it a thorough clean, soaked in peroxide. I wondered if any of you have ever done this and how long you waited for it to dry ( peroxide)? As I did clean it with soap and water last night and to my surprise it was pretty dried up after let's say 4 hours. Since I don't want to damage anything obviously, should I wait at least 24hours before assembling it again? Thank you in advance
