2024.05.14 20:49 Inevitable_Salt2119 Tired of trying
23M here. I've been trying to put myself out there recently. Various apps, real life, and on Reddit. Not a single friendship or relationship has come out of that effort.
I'm well aware that I'm not entitled to anything, but it does hurt. It's a weird crushing feeling to my spirit. Like is there something wrong with me? Why can't I connect with anyone on a meaningful level? Is there something that other people understand that I don't? I work on myself. I've lost a lot of weight, I dress better, try to give the effort that I get in a conversation, and I've been progressing professionally at a decent rate. But no matter what I do, I can't teach myself how to properly communicate with others.
Just makes me want to stop trying. In fact I think I will stop trying for the time being. I've never really been too good with other people anyways. Was never really invited anywhere growing up, (I think maybe 4-5 times I've 'hung out' with people from middle school until now?). Never been in a relationship (or so much as held hands with a woman). Feel like I've never lived.
It's such a painful feeling. Being stuck in this cycle of work and sleep. I spend most of my time working, playing games and cooking in my free time, feeling sorry for myself, and sleeping. There's nothing and no one to break that cycle for me. It's all my fault, too. I've been ghosted 4 times in the last month. All of it being my fault. I'm just a boring guy who can't communicate with others. I accept it now.

2024.05.14 20:49 bluegdec1 Stat Check Meta Dashboard Update - May 14th, 2024 The Post-Dataslate Meta Update
Welcome, fellow 40k data nerds, to another Stat Check Meta Dashboard Update! We’ve made one very important update to the dashboard. You can find the newly updated best free tools for 40k meta analysis on our website:
If you like our work and consider it useful, feel free to join us on Patreon and join our Discord!
Follow us on YouTube to see the latest episodes of our flagship show Stat Check, Enter the Matrix (Team 40k analysis from some of the best players in the world), and Take All Comers (where a trio of young, skilled players walk us through their competitive approaches to list-building and improvement). Today's episode of Stat Check will feature a rundown of the new Chaos Space Marine rules, following last week's rundown of the Ork Codex. Tune in here!
I’ve copied a table with one half of our State of the Meta Dashboard tab below for our mobile users. You can find images of the rest of the dashboard’s tabs here: Dashboard Images
We're over 3,000 games into the post data-slate meta, and a few things have become clear:
From now on, you'll be able to adjust your view of the meta for a given skill level. Brand new to the game and humbly assuming you're probably not that good yet? Set the max percentile to 25 for both Player and Opponent to see what the meta looks like for players who are still trying to figure the game out. Are you an established player who's routinely X-1, gunning for that 5-0 finish? Set the minimum for both Player and Opponent to 90 or 95 to get a more refined view of what competition looks like in your rarefied air. As always, these filters interact with all the others so that you can get as specific or as broad as you'd like.
Given the Elo update to the dashboard, We've adjusted the "Win Rate - Peer vs. Peer" tab to use win rates for games within the bottom and top quartiles instead of win rates within the now-deprecated "Newcomer" and "Veteran" buckets. We've also added another tab - Win Rates by Peer Elo Decile. This tab displays the WR and total games played for each faction within a given Elo decile, along with games played between players at the 99th+ percentile. This helps illuminate the degree to which there are performance differences across player skill levels for a given faction.
Looks like CSM got the good writer. Meta's gonna get real wonky over the next few weeks.
We’ll be lurking in the comments, so feel free to reach out with questions, comments, critique, or requests for clarification. Until next week, good luck with your games, and don’t forget to keep fun first while you’re playing.

- The Ork codex is as strong as initially suspected. Green Tide and War Horde have some positive leading indicators, while Bully Boyz appears to be the real deal. At 143 games played, BBz are sitting at a 58% Win Rate, 2.6 OverRep, 14% of its players going 4-0 to start their events, and 2 event wins.
- The Necron's Canoptek Court detachment is still going strong. At 93 games played, it's posted a 64% Win Rate, 2.92 OverRep, 15% of players starting 4-0, and 2 event wins.
- Custodes have likely disappeared as a competitive option altogether, and have quite literally disappeared from the "Faction Win Rate - Peer vs. Peer" tab due to an abysmal 23% win rate among upper quartile Elo players.
- Kyle Grundy has put Kroot nay-sayers on notice, going 4-1 with the Kroot Hunting Pack Detachment!
From now on, you'll be able to adjust your view of the meta for a given skill level. Brand new to the game and humbly assuming you're probably not that good yet?

2024.05.14 20:48 WolfPaq3859 LMGs and MMGs are a joke
Imagine picking a gun that is inaccurate as hell, is impossible to point fire, has insane recoil, and the only way to use it remotely properly is to use a mechanic that only works 30% of the time, all for the benefit of having a larger magazine. Thats exactly what Auto Riflemen and Machine gunners are.
Before ICO, if you got a decent position or the element of surprise, you could melt entire squads, take out logi trucks, destroy heli rotors, and slow down or outright stop an enemy assault lane, singlehandly. They could rush HABs and clear buildings like a Doom game. If there was reports of a machine gunner watching your position, nobody dared to peak because if they did, they would have a burst of dead accurate 7.62mm rounds fly into their head. At least until someone had the brilliant idea of repositioning to a different window and popping the machine gunner in his blind spot. Unfortunately for how powerful machine guns were in a perfect scenario, they were ultimately headshot magnets since they needed an exposed position to bipod from and their gun made the muzzle flash equivalent of a Chinese firecracker.
However, after the ICO made changes to LMGs and MMGs that reworked how they operate… they are still headshot magnets, but worse. Now machine guns have this silly gun dispersion that makes hitting anything past 50m accurately near impossible.
In this clip, the OC, while prone with a bipod, gets 7 infantry in his sights. However he is unable to kill a single one because the gun won’t shoot straight, in fact the enemy are still able to return accurate fire even with a MG3 blasting them. So, before ICO you couldn’t be effective without a bipod, after ICO you still can’t but now you can’t be effective even with a bipod. So what now, maybe you can role play as a FSA militant with a PKM and point fire to suppress?
Nope, they also completely butchered machine gun point firing; your soldier can’t even keep the gun in the middle of the screen, and instead sways it to the side like a toddler trying to hold a firetruck hose. So if you stumble upon a guy thats 5-10m away from you, you can’t just point shoot him like a regular gun, you have to fight your own soldier to keep the damn gun pointing forward.
So, you can’t shoot without bipod, you can’t shoot accurate even with a bipod, you can’t shoot point blank with point firing, so what can you do? Well you can now make your enemies’ screens blurry when you shoot and miss them, and even then if they have a scope it completely negates the effect.
So to recap, if you choose auto riflemen or machine gunner, you forfeit your ability to shoot normally for a gun that can’t be effective at any range, needs a bipod, and has a suppression effect that only works on some enemies. TBH marksman is more effective now than machine gunners.
Remember what they took from you

2024.05.14 20:47 Professional-Nerd25 26/M UK/Europe - Cuddly nerd looking for a long term thing with someone cool!
Hey!
I've been single for 6 years and I've decided to do something about it! I've tried a couple of dating apps in the past and quite frankly they suck. I've posted on here a lot over the last few years and met some cool, and some not so cool, people so now here I am rewriting my post again to see who else is around!
I'm 26 and from South East England. Physically, I'm fat (cuddly 😛) I've got short brown hair, blue/greyish eyes, a nose, 2 arms, 2 legs, and all that usual stuff. I'm also 6'3 so if you fancy sitting on my shoulders and seeing what the weather's like up here then I'm definitely up for it! I'm pretty strong as well so even if you're "cuddly" I'll still most likely be able to get you up there 💪 I wouldn't say no to you doing the same for me either, but there's a 110% chance you'll be crushed if you try so I'll definitely have to make you sign a waiver or something 😛
Pictures are available on request, although if you're the type to ghost immediately after seeing my face then I will spend the evening sad in bed so don't do that 😒
Personality wise, I'm pretty shy and quiet in person until I get to know someone well. The MBTI test says I'm an INTJ and the description seems to fit fairly well, although it also says I have the same personality as Gandalf so I guess it could definitely be worse. Relationship wise I can be quite dorky and weird when I'm with someone I know well enough. I'm also a massive fan of cuddles so hopefully you like them as much as me!
In my free time, I do quite a lot of gaming, although not as much as I used to. I've got a massive box of films and TV shows that I'm gradually working my way through. It's mostly horror and sci-fi films at the moment, and I could definitely do with someone else to cuddle up and watch them with! I'm also into Warhammer 40k, but I haven't built or painted anything for ages so I've mostly got a cabinet full of grey plastic at the moment... I would like to do some travelling to tick things off my bucket list, but travelling alone is never as much fun as having someone to go with! I'm currently looking into a trip to Svalbard, but a lot of the activities have a minimum of two people so it'd be even less fun to travel there alone!
For other discussion topics, I've got a soft spot for anything paranormal or conspiracy theory related, anything science related, or pretty much anything else you can think of!
So who am I looking for? Well;

So who am I looking for? Well;
- Preferably someone in the UK (especially down in the South East), I can drive so basically anywhere in the country is fairly easy to get to.
- I don't mind if you're from abroad, but please speak good English, and preferably be from somewhere with not too big of a time zone difference, unless you're awake at odd hours of course!
- Physically I don't really have a "type". Anything from normal up to thicc with 5 c's is fine by me. I'm totally not bothered by height, even if somehow you're taller than me. I would say I have a thing for more "alt" types though so if that's you then you should definitely message! (Although you totally should even if you're not).
- Overall I'm just looking for someone kind, caring, and non-judgemental who actually wants to talk to and spend time with me as much as I want to talk to and spend time with them.

Pool pic tax (this is my second pool, my third season, its second season. The first bit the dust after I tried to stash it and it ended up with holes at the creases). Edit: Doesn't appear to be showing up, so I'll post it separately! https://preview.redd.it/sul39mrqsf0d1.jpg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be227dcf9887f346b6186e833d5fb3a7d58ecc5b |
2024.05.14 20:47 MortgageElectronic72 I need a career with a future but don't know what to pick
Okay, I'm gonna make this short. I am 19 and I live in Greece (I have thought about relocating after I finish my degree). I am studying Spanish at the free public university, but I absolutely hate it. It has no potential whatsoever and the degree makes me miserable and depressed. I have thought about online degrees or even chanaging majors, but I am unsure. I thought about marketing but I am not really good with numbers and also counseling. The problem is that I would have to work to be able to pay and I have adhd so I need a degree that doesn't require every day studying if you know what I mean. My dream is to become a pastry chef but I want to get a degree first.
Please give any advice!

2024.05.14 20:47 yagirlkait Is Taylor’s use of anthology even correct?
Okay, please feel free to correct me if I’m not getting this right. But isn’t an anthology a collection of work from various artists? To my knowledge an anthology must be a compilation of works by various authors/artists, and a collection of one single authoartists work is simply called a “collection” or “complete works”. It seems like she just used the word to sound smarter than she is, but I don’t even think she used it correctly. So many swifties like to bring up her having her “doctorate” but an honorary doctorate is absolutely not the same level of education as someone who actually has a doctoral degree. The whole anthology title just comes across as trying too hard (I really think she believes, just as much as her fans, that she’s the best songwriter of our generation) and it’s funny to me that her use of it seems to be wrong. Again, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I can’t stop thinking about this and needed to hear others thoughts as well.

I’m wanting to create an interactive writing website to showcase my work. I was recommended Cargo.site
Do y’all recommend using Cargo? It’s a bit expensive but the templates are exactly what I want! I’m also experimenting with word press free at the moment. Any similar suggestions that are affordable and funky with lots of customization options? Thank you!!

2024.05.14 20:45 MortgageElectronic72 I have no idea what to study
Okay, I'm gonna make this short. I am 19 and I live in Greece (I have thought about relocating after I finish my degree). I am studying Spanish at the free public university, but I absolutely hate it. It has no potential whatsoever and the degree makes me miserable and depressed. I have thought about online degrees or even chanaging majors, but I am unsure. I thought about marketing but I am not really good with numbers and also counseling. The problem is that I would have to work to be able to pay and I have adhd so I need a degree that doesn't require every day studying if you know what I mean. My dream is to become a pastry chef but I want to get a degree first.

Highlight the following benefits: This is my personal case study, But you may disagree with me!
Budget Planning: AI analyzes your spending habits much more deeply than you might on your own. This leads to tailored recommendations and insights you wouldn't uncover manually. In addition, it can process massive amounts of financial data, like budget plans, spending analysis, and savings suggestions, in seconds.
Modern platforms track changes in tax rules and legislation in real-time, alerting you to updates that could affect your life and work. This reduces the risk of non-compliance and potential penalties. If you set up your assistant intelligently, you may even be able to prevent problems in some cases.

2024.05.14 20:44 Objective_Grape_2681 Possibly misdiagnosed celiac?
Hi guys,
So recently I have been questioning whether the celiac diagnoses I received as a child was accurate or not. (Blood and biopsy tested)
My doubts are largely due to the fact that I have never had any type of reaction that I could definitively trace back to gluten consumption. 2 years prior to my diagnosis I developed community acquired MRSA and 1 year prior to my diagnosis I had a Streptococcal skin infection, both of which I was prescribed vancomycin. After doing some reading I found out that some antibiotics (possibly vancomycin?) can cause damage to villi. Is it possible that the vancomycin I was prescribed had an effect on my villi that lasted long enough to have been detected by the biopsy 1 year later? According to my mother, my ttg iga and DGP IgA lab results were elevated, but not near as elevated as some other newly diagnosed celiacs. Never in the triple digits and likely around 30 or so for the ttg iga. Fast forward to more recent years——because I didn’t have a reaction after eating gluten, I became extremely lax about the whole thing. I’d go out to eat, never inquire about cross examination mitigation practices, and sometimes eat straight up gluten…I know probably not the smartest thing. I felt completely fine doing so though. At one point my diet consisted of mostly gluten containing foods. I had a celiac panel done and my result for ttg iga was 28 U/mL. At the time I had and still have symptoms that I’m highly suspicious of being SIBO related. Could SIBO be the cause of those levels?
Around 2021 I started to tighten up my diet. I was still pretty lax about cross contamination though. I eventually decided that i should start getting yearly work ups done just to see how I was doing. My values were 11.1 U/mL ttg iga and 0.6 U/mL DGP IgA in fall of 2021. Then in September of 2022 I stayed with relatives for about 2 weeks and ate out the whole time except for about 4 days where they made food at home. I found out that the homemade food was made with einkorn flour which is definitely not safe for celiacs. So for 4 days I was 100% getting glutened. About a month after the visit I got my yearly blood work done. The tests results read 9.5 U/mL TTG IgA and 0.5 U/mL DGP IgA- Unbelievably low for the amount of gluten I had consumed just one month prior. Now I know that these values are considered a slight positive, but I also know that dairy can impact your TTG. I am a huge dairy eater. Yogurt for breakfast everyday, milk in coffee, dairy in everything. Is it possible that those elevated levels are solely due to the amount of dairy I consume and have nothing to do due with gluten? Or could it be a combination of possible SIBO and dairy? I am now extremely careful about eating gluten free and have been for past year or so. I don’t go out to eat ever. I don’t eat prepackaged foods and am 100% sure I am not getting cross contaminated at home but my levels are still in the low positive range. 7 U/mL ttg and 0.2 DGP.
What do you guys think? Should I do a gluten challenge and get retested?

2024.05.14 20:43 Historical-Charge200 AITA for moving into my mom’s with my cats and not staying there full time?
Hello Reddit,
Three months ago I moved back into my mom’s house. I am 30 years old. When I moved in, she was excited that I was bringing my cats (this ties in later). I have been dating someone that just got a place close to my work place. My mom’s house is a 45 minute drive from work (M-F 8-5). At the beginning, she was saying how I’m free to go as a please, just not after 10p since she will be in bed and the door will wake her. Now, when I go somewhere for a couple days (stay with the person I am dating/3 nights a week), she makes little comments about me neglecting my cats and how they are “hers now”. Something to note, I am a great cat mommy. When I leave, I provide them with enough food and water to last and fresh litter. The first few nights I went to stay, I would drive back to feed my cats (to prevent this exact thing) which she said was unnecessary because she “just has to put food in a bowl”. My cats aren’t alone, they spend time with my mom and stepdad. I do feel guilty leaving them just because I miss them, not because I feel they were neglected. Now, I am not ready to move in with anyone and I can’t afford a place of my own. My relationship has been ongoing for five months. It’s really great and they are my person, but I want to take my time before doing that. Some other things to note is that I’m incredibly tidy, respectful of their home, and help with their daily chores. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. With my mother, you can never really please her either way. I’ve honestly been losing my mind since being back with all of the comments and remarks(aside from the cats). I have been loving spending overnights with my significant other since they were long distance for a while. The short drive to work has also been great. So I ask.. Am I the asshole? Also.. • how do I manage this situation appropriately? • am I being selfish? Neglecting my animals? • how many nights a week do you think it’s appropriate I stay with my significant other away from my parent’s? •any other words of wisdom?

2024.05.14 20:41 Doinky420 Please stop with the "character grinding works in other games🤷" nonsense
Apex Legends, Valorant, League of Legends, Paladins, and any other game not called Overwatch 2 or Marvel Rivals are not relevant to this discussion. None of these games let you swap your character in the middle of the round like Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals do.
Locking characters behind a grind does not work in a game like this because your team or the enemy team can swap whenever and you need to be able to swap effectively to counter lineups. This is especially true in ranked where people don't want to feel like they lost because they couldn't pick the hero needed to deal with certain characters or comps.
If earning heroes is quick, the system is redundant and doesn't need to exist. If earning them is slow, then it hurts new players, becomes a pointless system for veteran players, and does nothing but stop people from playing who they want when they want.
Please don't just sit on your hands and defend this decision. The consumer has more power than they like to believe. Make some noise and get it changed because this is NetEase making the game. They are going to make a killing from overpriced cosmetics and having battle passes. There's absolutely no reason the characters need to be locked behind a grind or possibly available for purchase in a competitive hero shooter with mid-round hero swapping.
And before anyone throws out buzzwords like "entitled", I have no problem paying for a reasonably priced version of this game that gives me every character free forever just like Overwatch 1 (now all characters are free forever in Overwatch 2 without purchase) or Smite.

2024.05.14 20:40 interventionalhealer 1. The Radicalization Of Evangelicalism
An excerpt from the upcoming thesis on the counter theory to the rise of MAGA.
The Radicalization Of Evangelicalism
With Evangelicals intense support and influence over the MAGA movement and far right, my friend put together some research to ask one simple question.
"What if the Evangelicals weren't always like this? What if someone made them loose their way? What if they even once supported things like abortion?"
ASA3 Article by the Christian Medical Society of historical Abortion Stances
Standford LawSchool Founding Fathers Separation Of Church And State
TheGuardian On Farwells 9/11 Claim
Politico Jerry Falwell Liberty University Loans
In Summary:
Jerry Falwell Sr.'s commitment to a strict evangelical approach was deeply influenced by his desire to reshape the moral landscape and possibly counteract the less savory aspects of his family's history. His vision radicalized evangelicalism, aligning it closely with far-right politics, a transformation that had lasting impacts on American political and religious culture.
Jerry Falwell Jr., however, doesn't appear to have had any widely recognized issues with racism or segregation prior to 2020, which marks a stark contrast with the controversies that exploded around him later. His leadership at Liberty University seemed to embody the ultra-conservative values his father espoused, but his personal scandals, particularly the affair with the pool boy, starkly contradicted the public persona he projected. This scandal was particularly poignant given his father's harsh stance against similar moral failings in others, highlighting a deep hypocrisy that often went unremarked in less prominent families.
The ominous saga of the Falwell’s underscores the complex dynamics within evangelical circles, where there has been a tension between public morality and private behavior. It suggests a need for a reevaluation of how evangelical leaders engage with politics and society, advocating for a return to core values that emphasize personal integrity and humility over public condemnation of others' imperfections.
This also raises broader questions about the path forward for evangelical communities. There might be merit in considering a separation of church and state interests as it’s founders supported. Such changes could potentially help the evangelical movement find a more sustainable and less divisive role in modern society, avoiding the pitfalls that ensnared the Falwells.
As a refresher, here’s some Jesus:
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
And for those who follow the path of the fallen after learning of this, you’re not following the path of God, you’re following the path of the fallen angel.

The Radicalization Of Evangelicalism
With Evangelicals intense support and influence over the MAGA movement and far right, my friend put together some research to ask one simple question.
"What if the Evangelicals weren't always like this? What if someone made them loose their way? What if they even once supported things like abortion?"
- Evangelicals were not always on the far right, their people, pastors and community even previously recommended abortion bills. “Financial capability” was even an approved reason, by Gods will, to engage with abortion. Yet one man, Jerry Falwell, a segregationist, would push for modernization and mobilization of the evangelical far right movement. Apparently, he knew better than every pastor in the history of that religion.
ASA3 Article by the Christian Medical Society of historical Abortion Stances
- Near 1980 he launched his “Moral majority” group and “I Love America” rallies. He said he felt he saw a serious lacking in general morality in the country and was trying to save it. The Moral Majority was promoted as being pro-life, pro-traditional family, pro-moral, and pro-American. Which are all hallmarks of the Republican party and MAGA today.
- Fallwell pushed for conservative politics so much that it led Billy Graham, a widely respected and well-known evangelical preacher, to criticize him for “sermonizing” about political issues that lacked a moral element.
- Graham, unlike Falwell, insisted on racial integration and even invited Martin Luther King to preach with him at a revival in New York City.
- However, Fallwell, a televangelist Christian, would make the odd alliance with Weyrich, a Roman Catholic, to help get “religion back into politics” to fight the imaginary enemy of “secular humanism.” Even though Falwell’s father was an atheist and from a line of criminals and drunks.
- Beyond intense homophobic, racist and misogynistic comments, Falwell preached, “The idea religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to prevent Christians from running their own country.” For your review, I’ve attached some “Devil Worshipers.”
Standford LawSchool Founding Fathers Separation Of Church And State
- In the 1990s that imaginary attack on religion of “separation of church and state” was called “political correctness.” With Bill O’Reilly even claiming that Christmas was ‘under siege’ in 2004 by “secular progressives.”
- h. In the mid-1990s Falwell also promoted the Clinton Chronicles, a right wing propaganda video that accused the Clinton’s of excessive crimes all the way up to murder.
- The ‘Falwells’ founded Liberty University and became puritan punishers and fined and ruined peoples academic lives for failing to live up to their “elite moral standards.” Few people understand how much harm academic death can cause someone and how likely suicide can become. Some of these sins included merely being in the same room as the opposite sex or drinking. Contrasted by the Falwell’s criminal family history and Jr’s claim his father had consistently openly drank and partied with friends before marriage. His father even apparently broke up a marriage to later claim his wife, Macel. His main tactic was incepting love letters, which was a federal crime for each instance.
- Jerry Jr would also reveal, “He became a different person to build a church and a school.”
- In 1988 the Falwells nearly lost everything due to Sr’s financial mismanagement to the tune of millions of dollars. While it’s claimed that his son helped reorganize things, restructure debts and find new funding sources, there doesn’t appear to be any articles on where those funding sources came from.
- On 9/11 Fallwell Sr even said, “"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'
- While other evangelicals said it was impossible to know which punishments god gave for which sins. Fallwell would later claim those words were taken “out of context.” That’s funny when it seemed like he was specifically talking to them in that moment.
TheGuardian On Farwells 9/11 Claim
- It would be ironic that his son, after years of advocating for purity and monogamy, would himself engage in a messy seven-year affair that shocked the evangelical community. This scandal, along with other minor scandals and financial misconduct involving tax-free financial benefits to friends from the university, starkly contrasted with the values he publicly demanded. Although the affair appeared to be consensual among the involved parties, it was overshadowed by other, less publicized but more concerning alleged crimes. Additionally, despite his minimal evangelical conviction, he was thrust into an intense spotlight that would ultimately contribute to his downfall.
Politico Jerry Falwell Liberty University Loans
- It's ironic that Jerry Jr., who initially had no prior relationship with Donald Trump, would become the first evangelical leader to endorse him in 2016. This endorsement came just two months after the death of his evangelical brother, raising some suspicion to his sudden ‘change of heart.’ Reports suggest that the endorsement was part of a quid pro quo with Michael Cohen to conceal an affair casting an additional shadow over evangelicals.
- However, there was a silver lining when 2,000 members of Liberty University, where Jerry Jr. was a leading figure, signed a petition for his removal, showing a commitment to integrity within the university community.
- Add to all that, concerning comments like tweeting he would only wear a mask that had “Governor Blackface” on it, in the wake of George Floyd. Although this was arguably during his “self-destruct” phase.
- Then, upon reflection, he insisted his fall was due to endorsing Donald Trump, and not his own sins.
In Summary:
Jerry Falwell Sr.'s commitment to a strict evangelical approach was deeply influenced by his desire to reshape the moral landscape and possibly counteract the less savory aspects of his family's history. His vision radicalized evangelicalism, aligning it closely with far-right politics, a transformation that had lasting impacts on American political and religious culture.
Jerry Falwell Jr., however, doesn't appear to have had any widely recognized issues with racism or segregation prior to 2020, which marks a stark contrast with the controversies that exploded around him later. His leadership at Liberty University seemed to embody the ultra-conservative values his father espoused, but his personal scandals, particularly the affair with the pool boy, starkly contradicted the public persona he projected. This scandal was particularly poignant given his father's harsh stance against similar moral failings in others, highlighting a deep hypocrisy that often went unremarked in less prominent families.
The ominous saga of the Falwell’s underscores the complex dynamics within evangelical circles, where there has been a tension between public morality and private behavior. It suggests a need for a reevaluation of how evangelical leaders engage with politics and society, advocating for a return to core values that emphasize personal integrity and humility over public condemnation of others' imperfections.
This also raises broader questions about the path forward for evangelical communities. There might be merit in considering a separation of church and state interests as it’s founders supported. Such changes could potentially help the evangelical movement find a more sustainable and less divisive role in modern society, avoiding the pitfalls that ensnared the Falwells.
As a refresher, here’s some Jesus:
Matthew 5:43-48 (NIV)
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
And for those who follow the path of the fallen after learning of this, you’re not following the path of God, you’re following the path of the fallen angel.

2024.05.14 20:40 manut3ro Seeking input: learning game website for my daughter.
Hi there
I’m considering the idea to try a learning game website for my daughter (4yo) non verbal
Thing is , we are trying old PC games from our childhood where basically you point to objects from a static picture and the game reads out loud the name of what you’ve clicked
I’m programmer myself and truth is that I have very limited free time …usually mu side projects don’t “see the light”
But …. if my little one is interested using it… maybe I can deliver some mini game in this line
The improvement here is that I’d be able to modify, add or tune anything … specially from the perspective “this would be designed for my non verbal daughter”
May I ask other parents here , What features, games, or design elements would you love to see?*
Your feedback is invaluable

2024.05.14 20:40 Old-Source-1435 This is how you develop psychic powers
All psychic or magical phenomena stem from directed observation. This is because observation collapses quantum probabilities, but it does so in a manner directed by intention. All of it is probability manipulation, it’s the only psychic ability humans have, but it’s probably the most powerful one.
Now, everyone is a little psychic, but to increase your abilities you have to observe faster (with higher frequency, more times per second) and more intensely.
To increase your abilities all you need are headphones and any site or app that lets you put any beat that has a specific frequency, a sound that beeps a specific amount of times per second.
People are usually vision-oriented. When you focus on something in your field of vision, it seems like a continuous movie, but it’s composed of many discrete and distinct “frames”. Humans usually have a visual framerate of 8-13 Hz (8-13 times per second), this is the alpha frequency in human EEG. What you have to do is train your brain to process and observe faster. In order to do this just put on an isochronic tone higher than 13 Hz, I recommend starting with 15-20 Hz. You will then focus on the sound. At first, it will be hard to even distinguish every beat, but you will be able to do it with practice. This is because whatever activates at the same time in your brain inevitably connects. So, if you have a high-frequency stimulus and at the same time you direct your visual direction to something specific, it's easier to accelerate your visual attention because it is connected to an inherently faster stimulus, forcing it to acquire the same frequency.
Once you can do this, focus on any point of your vision and with every beat focus as intensely as you can on your visual point of focus.
This is you, learning to observe.
Some clarifications:
It’s not without risk, and it takes a bit of energy, so be mindful about your health and nutrition. Spiritual or energetic practices are respectable pre-cognitive attempts to explain anomalous effects of cognition. Any esoteric, mystical and magical system is caused by anomalous effects of human cognition.
Your brain is literally a "most manipulable substrate" for probability manipulation. You use "psychic effects" to act and think. Its just that the brain meets the mind halfway. And things that aren't minds don't. That why it's easier to manipulate plants than rocks, they are more brain-like.
Some crystals are extremely manipulable and can enhance effects. This is because for some crystals, the state of every part depends on every other part. This makes crystals something like "maximally observant" of themselves. This is the cause of their anomalous characteristics.
Cats aren't very smart but have a very high perceptual framerate. This is the reason for their crazy fast reflexes. It's also the reason why they were venerated in ancient times. Similar reason why a lot of people who contact "higher intelligencies" feel as if their agency is negated by those beings. Being of higher perceptual frequency.
Another perspective to understand this is though the principles of causality and division. Say there's a cause C; someone with very limited perceiving capability would see it as C and C is bound to lead to E (effect). Fate is determined for this person. Many others with an average perceiving capability might perceive C as made up of c1, c2, c3 with each leading to the corresponding e1, e2, e3 effects. This part of the population has some control over their "fate". Now apply that to (you)rself, a level 30 grand mage from 4chan who can perceive at a very high rate. You can break down any cause into 100 little causes giving you seemingly infinite freedom of choice in any situation. Causality can never be violated, but the causes themselves can be broken down which then open up all sorts of possibilities for you.
Strict meditation is extremely useful if not absolutely necessary. I recommend Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha by Daniel Ingram, it’s free online.
This mechanism basically explains most (if not all psychic phenomena). Think about it this way, when a psychic manifests a ball of energy, he is manipulating probabilities to manifest it. That's why flashy powers are rarely efficient, much less used. You don’t just create the main effect of the ball, but creating its visual effect is partly an independent process that takes effort.
Oh, and higher frequencies are tricky. Make sure you are actually hearing the frequency. An example. Sometimes if you are hearing 20 Hz it might seem you are catching every beat, but if you checked you would realize you are perceiving at 10 Hz and your slow brain is fusing every two beats into the perception of one. Make sure that doesn't happen. You can use any timer to estimate this. The first effect you will feel after a few minutes of practice will be the ability to hear higher frequency things, like the electricity running around you.
“Do I mix this with my visualization practice?” You can, but I recommend using visualization with some precautions. It can be somewhat dangerous. The effect of visualizing and cognitively modeling such as visualizing energy or image streaming is that you are creating positive feedback loops in your brain which will increase cortical excitability, which only increases the speed with which you are cognitively modeling your objective. For example: if you are visualizing healing energies to aid healing you are allowing your visual cortex to add cortical excitability to your objective, which only helps to cognitively model it faster. But cognitive connections are sticky, a lot of people end up with psychosis because they created a bunch of pathological connections in their brain without realizing and that creates aberrant patterns of thought. Usually visualizing the different sensory modalities of a single object is safe, but don’t mix a lot of things, especially if they are emotionally charged things. It's better to learn to increase the speed at will and very specifically in a brain area. That’s what you are doing with my method, learning to do it for the cortical areas responsible for the perception of the sound and your object of visual concentration, then you can use the same principles for anything you want. Pro tip: tobacco makes it easier to accelerate your cognitive processes, that’s why it’s so widely used by shamans, but they don’t know why it works. Now you and I do.
“Why do you think you are closer to the truth than x? Just who the hell are you?” Stop trying to find an objective truth. You can't. Just know thyself and wake up. Any thought is just a tool. Any model is just a tool. Truth is just a tool. At least as far as human capacity goes.
“How does this allow me to peek behind the veil?” You as yourself have never and will never experience the world. You only experience a very complex but imperfect interface between you and the world, this interface is called consciousness. By studying your own consciousness, you get to the deepest truths a human can get. Even if it isn't the ultimate truth. It also helps you know yourself and develop in such a way that you can get closer and closer to an absolute truth.
“What about the risk of psychotic episodes?” Don't use psychedelics while practicing, they can intensify the experience to the point where it's not controllable. Learn to control and see your own cognitive processes, insight meditation is useful for this. Use the book I recommended. And learn to downregulate activation, this is more complex but if you do concentration meditation and use the resource I mentioned you will eventually get it. If you recognize that you are in a psychotic episode (this is often the hardest part), ground yourself in your body and focus less on the experience of psychosis. Things like exercising, cleaning, cooking, etc. It can help a lot. Frame yourself in your ordinary world with your actions. If it's bad enough, a visit to the ER might be needed.
“What do I even use this for? I have no use for psychic powers.” I've got a better question. Who is already using it on you and to which effect?
“Why is your system superior?” Because it explains every other one. When you cognitively model a magic system, you are giving it energy, and it becomes more powerful. Because this system contains every other one, every time anyone has given energy to their system, they are also giving it to this one. It’s, by definition, the broadest, which makes it the most powerful. There are other considerations such a left vs right brain perceiving. But it’s nothing you can’t figure out on the go. Welp, that’s probably as much as it’s ethical to discuss. I will not be answering any questions.
One more important thing. Love is always wise. This is not as much of a statement on the nature of love as it is telling you to use it as a compass.
