Cute things to say to someone!

I took an unorthodox route into ML/AI. I fused a background in recording audio/music with a niche in DSP and Music Information Retrieval, and am now a Ml engineer in a speech company. I used to do a bit of C++ but feel hesitant now, and live in python.
This does mean I have a lot of catching up to do always, compared to my colleagues who just have more ML under their belts. Now the field is a mess but I'm holding on and doing my best.
I can't help but think, if I put x hours of effort into ML Vs the same x hours into some complementary skill, I might be better off for it, so I'm trying to understand what things I can pick-up that will realistically improve my employability.
I've picked up some docker and Django, and can whip up a basic API backend (maybe not at interview speed yet). I consider myself an amateur hobbyist level, and not production ready at these. Missing kubernetes, databases, web-security, no JS/Typescript under my belt, asyncio and webhooks etc. So I'd be competing with folks who are way more proficient at this sort of thing. I find this stuff interesting but I'm very beginner here and might not get a job easily.
Data science might be closest, but my lack of DB/SQL knowledge is currently where I'm blocked.
I wonder what kind of career capital makes more sense for someone like me.

So I have a spare pc laying around my house been there for a few years I checked it’s a decent enough cpu and I am planning to add 16 Gb of RAM so I have always wanted to run a Minecraft server with my friends so I thought it would be a good idea to do it now. I don’t only want to make a Minecraft server but also test out making a server in other games like terraria, etc. but I have no idea how to do any of that and YouTube has shown me some ways to do that but I have a lot of doubts like 1. How do I update my server to the latest version of Minecraft when it comes out 2. How do I make another server on the same computer for modded servers. 3. How do I fix any issues when they arise cuz these videos show how to make it not how to maintain it. 4. How do I make a server for other games I like.
So I am rlly interested to start learning on how to make these servers, I am absolutely open to learn so if someone could give me a detailed guide or idea where I could learn to do all these things thx for the help guys.!!!!!

I'm not one to ask for help, but my God... three days in, and I have yet to mount a single tire. On the left is a55mm Injora comp pin, and in the right is a 57mm JConcepts Tusk. I was able to get the Injora tire mounted on the first try with all four tires, same with my other set of Injora tires. The bead on the Tusk is at least twice as thick as the Injora tire, and for the life of me I can't get the Injora deep dish steelies to fully seat with out squeezing the bead of the Tusk out.
What's the trick to get these mounted properly, or do I need to get a different set of wheels? If I need a different set of wheels, which wheel set do you recommend? Super frustrating to say the least. I've read good things about these tires, but so far my experience has me regretting my purchase and not wanting to pick up another set of JConcepts tires. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks gang.

Our family got our first landline number in 1997, which was killed but ported over to VOIP internet 4 years ago, and now I want to ditch our internet/voip provider but do not want to lose this number.
I've read it's simple enough to port a number to Google voice to keep it, however I need to first get it off the VOIP over to a SIMM card. Every google search so far is showing plans from 1-2 years ago, and more recent pages saying these plans are gone. I actually found my way to this subreddit from a year old post saying someone in my position was having a very rough time to just find a cheap middleman like I am looking for.
So far, it seems Tello was the cheapest option at $15 a month but that's if I can find an old phone with 5G to pop a simm card into that before It gets ported over.
Is this really the best option now?

So a few days ago i was on the train a lighter skin colored person had dropped like 20-40 dollars and instead of pocketing it i picked it up and passed it back to him fast forward to later in the day i leave work go link my bro we got smacked n i headed home not that far from the crib i had my blade on me ofc but as im walking i got one airpod in but not playing nothing (i was smacked) next thing ik i hear someone who peeped me like nah im boutta get this nigga so i look around and it was like 3 older niggas but one of them who i seen a few times was like nah he good yo mind you i had a good jacket dont gotta put all that up there but the fit around like 2.5 nbs and i had my bag as well but that day was the one day where i had mad shit in it so if they wouldve gotten on me (pause) they wouldve came up. what yall think?

So i’ve been saying this girl for almost 2 years now and at the start of our relationship she got a cat. This cat was a POS and i honestly hate it but i dealt with it, even when we lived together for a year and it was trash my apartment and ruin cords, walls, picture frames, cups glasses… basically anything it can chew break or rip up it would do.
So fast forward a year the lease was too expensive and we move back into our parents homes. However w this move back to our parents houses we are now in a LDR.
I wouldn’t mind this because i drive, i see her every week or so when i make the hour drive down there.
Now here’s my issue, she never wants to come to see me, she always has an excuse and now she’s starting to say things like “oh well my cat will be alone td from 10-8 then i’ll have to come and see you and she won’t see me at all till saturday night. so if its ok maybe i’ll only come for a few hours then leave?” Im not gonna lie this kinda bothers me. I sacrifice my entire weekend, drive straight from work to hers and go out of my way to come down whenever i have the day off. however she can’t be bothered to do the same for me ?
Am i overreacting or are my feelings of breaking up valid ? As of rn she has blown off two birthdays for my family and just a “her turn” weekend to come up because……..her 2 year old cat will be lonely…… i don’t wanna sound like an AH but this cat has been put well above our relationship by her numerous times, it’s been the root of all my problems w her (calling me in the middle of the night crying while i have to get up at 4am cause it attacked her or knocked over and broke her expensive tv, saying she’s gonna die and she can’t afford the vet surgery cause it ate a tiny piece of string…..)
I love this girl but it feels like i’m a 3rd thought (her cat and weed being 1st and 2nd) and i’m just so sick and fucking tired of it
anyway thanks again

Basically we run a in home daycare we have a toddler who we’ve had for 6 going on 7 months she came to us as 16 months and is now 22 months (2 in August). The problem is she cries non stop. I must admit the crying has slowed down in the past month but she’s still crying all the time. What I mean by that is the first 6 months she would cry for hours non stop unless she was sleeping literally no exaggeration and now she just cries in intervals. Anytime you say the words stop,no especially she cries. If I’m taking to another child she’s crying she tries to follow me to the bathroom etc it’s overwhelming when I have multiple other kids to care for on top of a 11month old baby. In the beginning I brushed it off as a new daycare/environment but it’s been 6/7 months AND this isn’t her first time in daycare she was kicked out of a prior daycare for the same reasons.
On top of the baby’s troubles the parents are insanely stressful to deal with. Every few months they have to reauthorize their case to continue to get state assistance and each time which as been about 3 times since they started they act like they don’t know how or to busy to do it , so they ask me for help. This past march they didn’t pay because they let their payment expire so I didn’t get paid anything and that’s only a fraction of it… they are constantly texting me about the baby throughout the day which is fine but they say things like can you just show our baby a little more attention than the other babies. Like huh? Why would you even think that’s okay to ask? Then a few months back I had a sit down talk with them about the crying,baby crawling even though she can walk, constantly sending pacifiers just little things like that. And after talking for an hour and giving them advice to help her grow all they said was we will work on it. I told them she is done with the pacifier so to not send them to daycare anymore and literally every morning she has a pacifier in her mom and the mom says that’s the only way she can soothe herself even though she doesn’t use a pacifier for the 8 hours she’s at daycare. Same thing with walking we taught her to walk but they constantly carry her around and barely wears shoes I constantly tell them let her walk so she can learn and as soon as the baby sees the parents she instantly drops to the ground to crawl. On top of that they want us to pick the baby up between 5am-7am (5 if she’s with her dad 7 if she’s with her mom) but whenever they drop her off it’s not til 830/9 why are we picking her up so early? It’s little things like this that stresses me out and I just don’t want to deal with it.I think what stresses me out the most is that I’m trying to be professional and I want to help them because the mom and I graduated together so I’d feel bad by not allowing her to come back but it is completely stressful!!
Now my bf helps me everyday with the daycare but for the past 2 months we constantly argue about this same situation. Her next authorizion isn’t until October and I suggested we let them continue to come until then and just don’t reauthorize. It’s becoming draining emotionally mentally and physically tbh. He insists on keeping the family but it’s not worth it when I’m literally doing all the work to keep her here but the parents aren’t doing their part! After a big argument I told him if he wants them here he will have to deal with all exchanges with the family obviously I will care for the baby while she’s here but I’m not going above. What stresses me is that I’ve tried helping in many ways giving advice when I don’t have kids myself so I can’t give you much advice just what I’ve learned the past 10 years working in childcare. My bf has only been in childcare for the 7 months we’ve had the daycare and I keep telling him if the parents aren’t cooperative it won’t work out. This isn’t my first time dealing with a stressful family and I understand it won’t be my last but as a business owner it’s my right to say I don’t want to deal with this stressful situation
I need advice on how to handle this situation? Do I let them continue to come or end it?

Quick background, our family is mainly only dad, me, and our 4yo. We don't have family nor friends nearby and basically it has been me raising the kid all by myself since he was born because dad is often away at work for weeks and months.
He started with tantrums at maybe 2yo, it was some rough months but with time and patience I was able to take it under control and when he is alone with me it never escalate to full mode tantrum. (No tricks nor magic, we have read lots of books and I just listen and talk to him)
But when my husband is home or he knows he is nearby is like madness. I don't understand, if i try to calm him down he doesn't even want me nearby him, push me away and says he just want dad. So I give them space but after I leave he always start to kick his dad, pull his hair, screams he wants to hurt dad, that wants to destroy dad's stuff (and break dad stuff). Is like full madness, I can't even put into words.
Now you may be asking what is the trigger? It can be anything.
Ie. If I'm alone with him and ask him to put his shoes to go outside he may argue but will put his shoes and go his away. If dad is home he would yell he is not putting his shoes, will yell for dad, will kick dad, will ask for something else totally unrelated that he knows he can't have, will scream more and hit dad.
If we go grocery shopping. If he goes alone with me is really pleasant but if he goes alone with dad or we go the 3 of us I can guarantee we will have a major tantrum at the supermarket. Employees already know us by name...
Now the bigger problem is, he was always behaved at school like he is when home alone with me, but have started to act out there as well. They already told us they know when dad is home because they notice the shift in his behavior.
We went to the ER last month and before dad arrived he was behaving, telling stories being playful. Allowed the doctor to see him, took the meds etc as soon as he saw dad arrive it was like he became Possessed by an evil demon. Again he didn't wanted me there so I left him with dad (only one parent is allowed inside) and from what my husband told me it was again madness. Screams and kicking, didn't allowed the second doctor to come even closer, throw himself on the floor, turned chairs, throw stuff etc. The second ER doctor told my husband he needs an assessment because these tantrums are nor normal at this age.
At school his main teached had already sent an inquire for an assessment to the school health board and they ruled it as behavior issue. What they explain us was some in the lines that if it was mental he would act always the same way with everybody with the same trigger. (Hope this made sense, I can't seem to explain it better in English)
The pediatrician also have told us in the past almost the same thing. Nothing wrong with him, is just behavioral and he will grow out of it.
I have a ton of books about feelings, we have practice using words and all that stuff. And it did work with me but not with my husband. My husband even tried to mimic my approach but it even makes it worse.
I really don't know what to do, I love to be with my kid, he is very sweet, has an amazing imagination, I love to listen to his stories and be in his company and what I would love more than anything would be to share this with my husband but is unbearable to be in his presence when dad is at eyesight.
We don't even understand what is that my husband may be doing to trigger this behavior. Is like a love hate thing we can't understand.
Did anyone went through something like this? Any clues? We are lost at this point.
Sorry for such long text.

My ex and I have had an on/off relationship since we broke up in 2022. We’ve tried working things out over the years and they’ll be good for awhile but ultimately ends in with us going our separate ways but still remaining good friends.
Recently she’s been seeing a dude who I’ve met several times now and we’ve all gone out together and there relationship has started to grow. As much as it sucks to see it unfold in front of my eyes, it’s also a weight off my shoulders. I can break free from the thought that maybe one day we’ll work out our differences and be together again because I’ve now been replaced with someone who has buried that dream. For good.
It’s surprisingly enjoyable to see her light up about someone new though. The way she’ll talk about him reminds me of how we would talk in those first stages of dating. The new and exciting part of wanting to spend time with someone type feelings.
I’m definitely sad about it but at the same time happy for her. Sad because our friendship will be at a distance now but happy that she has someone else that makes her feel special again and lights up her day.
We haven’t really spoken about it bc there’s really not much to discuss but I’m going to go ahead and take the first step in distancing myself and respect that she has moved on with someone new. It’s only going to hurt me in the long run if I try and stick around as friend.
Maybe this is what needed to happen to finally let go and try to find my someone new. I wish them the best honestly and I hope they can build a loving relationship together. Just like I will someday when I meet someone new.
So here’s to letting go and closing this chapter.

I was working at an office selling aca plans for about 4 months. Got laid off due to “budgeting” (the company was going through a pretty big law suit) And now I’m just starting out selling aca plans independently. I’ve spent $100 on leads (which Ik isn’t a lot) and no luck so far. I know some people say buying aca leads to start isn’t the best thing, but I also just want to get the ball rolling. If anyone else is on a similar path, do you know where to find good leads or have any tips to start building a book of business?

Basically, writing tasks often ask you to write about very specific experiences that you may or may not actually have, so you end up having to return the study when you realize you can't honestly answer the questions it asks.
For example, I had one that asked me to write about a friend who was much less well-off financially then I was. It instructed me to return the study if I did not have such a friend. There are countless times a study might ask me to write about a time I did X or had Y happen to me, and I can't think of a single thing that would fit, so I end up having to return the study.
Very rarely, they say to use your imagination if you don't can't think of actual examples, but most of the time they don't allow that. Lying is an option, but that would be against policy and using your creativity to come up with something takes much more effort than just remembering an actual experience.

Hello, So I am a Australian Citizen working on a freelance contract with a U.S. company.
I am thinking of working and travelling around Europe, working 3.5 days of the week and then travelling and exploring for the rest. The Places I will be visiting and working from will be in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy and Netherlands.
This is my first year freelancing and also my first time taking a trip while working remote so I’m just unsure how to go about this and the things I might need to consider in terms of doing this (because I really don’t plan on getting a working visa, really hoping I can just do this on a tourist visa), I’ve read a bunch of the threads but everything is just so confusing 😵‍💫🫠
I’ve been reading online that it says I can work remotely on a tourist visa if it is under 90 days in the Schengen Zone. Is this correct? I’m planning on staying max 90 days anyways. And will say to the border officers I’m here to just travel :))
If I let my work know that I’ll be working from countries in Europe, is there anything that will stand in my way of them saying No. such as any legal or tax things that they might encounter with me being there? Currently I pay Australian taxes at the end of the financial year, I send my work invoices every month and they just pay me. I basically work remotely in another country (my home country) so I don’t really see any problem that would concern them?… am I missing anything?
And for any Australians reading this - Can I just work and travel and still get paid in my aus bank account and then when tax time comes I just do it as I will normally. There wouldn’t be any problems if I’m earning money when I’m not in the country?
AND FINALLY just any tips for planning my trip and stuff would be so helpful 🙏🏼

Well, to make a long story short. I had a relationship with a guy for 2 years. Before him, I had a relationship where I was abused. This guy really helped me out of a difficult time and was so good to me. I wasn't in love with him right away, but after a while of dating, there were definitely feelings, and it got serious. After 4 months, I found out he was cheating with his stepsister. He claims they didn't have sex or anything, just sexual text contact. I forgave him for this because I saw that he was remorseful and very insecure. Eventually, we continued our relationship. It was very difficult, but I saw a future husband in him, and he was so sweet and good to me. Since the incident with his stepsister, his stepfather really doesn't like me. There's a tense atmosphere when I'm there, and he doesn't talk to me. Also, my partner has a drinking problem. Not that he drinks every day, but when he does drink, he doesn't know how to stop, and it always ends up in terrible fights.
Two weeks ago, it happened again. We talked it out, and he promised never to drink again. Last week, he was with his friends and started drinking again. Because of this, I broke up with him. I couldn't keep giving him chances and forgiving him for everything. This is the first time in 2 years, after all the fights and chances, that I ended it. And it seems like this time he realizes what he's losing and what he needs to do to prevent it from happening.
There are a few things I'm struggling with. I really love him a lot, but that family issue is a problem. He is a very simple person and not very emotionally intelligent. I am very loving and give him all the love I have, and he gives it to me too, but in a very different way than I would like. I've mentioned this many times, but nothing changes. The only thing holding me back from ending it for good is that I really see him as someone who would be a good father, someone who only has eyes for me. Despite his initial infidelity, I am 100000% sure he would never do that again. I'm just afraid I'm letting someone go and will never find someone like him who is so sweet and only has eyes for me. I'm really at my wit's end and don't know what to do. Also a very important thing is that he is not educated, i myself am almost finishing my bachelors. I forced him to start school again and now that i broke up with him he is finally taking action to go back to school, but still doesnt sit right with me.

This is a huge can of worms.
First and foremost, originally when my husband's x wife vanished from the face of the earth for four months, as well as moving 60 miles away (he said that was against the parenting plan) he filed against her in court, and the judge threw it out saying that she's allowed to move counties. This was 7-8 years ago. Currently, (and since our daughter's 1st grade year, she's in freshman year of high school now), His wife is supposed to take our daughter Monday, Tuesday, Friday and every other weekend, but she only takes her a random weekend a month (if that). She also does not have a job (we don't know if she has welfare or not) and lives with a girlfriend and some roommates.
Next, my husband was worried if we got a lawyer, it would cost us more to pay for the lawyer then we would get back in child support, but is there a silver lining? Like can we ask to change the parenting plan instead of trying to force this woman to take her more? We are worried it'll mess with her schoolwork if she's over there more. Daughter has diagnosed ADD and her mother as well, and the last few times she was over there she got super behind on the schoolwork (she's online home schooled now so we can keep a better eye on her assignments, as her learning coaches).
Lastly, she is supposed to pay 40 percent of above and beyond medical and dental costs. IE, we pay the dental and health insurance, and 60 percent of said bills.
And one other thing, we moved counties too recently because of the cost of living going up massively (rent prices) and being able to afford a house in this area.
If we take legal action, do we have to get a lawyer, or can we file something with the court to see if the judge can help us?
We live in Mason County, WA but moved from Thurston so I would assume we file with the Thurston County court (where they got married and divorced)?

Are you someone that just wants to have someone who can listen to you, someone that is there for you at the end of the day and just free of fear of being judged and just be yourself?
Me too.
I realized that I rather date someone who is more similar to me than someone who is a bit opposite. I just think that it creates a more understanding and calm environment for both parties.
Just a short introduction about me
-I'm currently a full time post graduate student taking up psychology.
-I'm into sports, psych books and right now video games.
-In terms of looks, Id say I'm pretty average looking, and I stand 167 cm, and wear glasses.
-A homebody who spends time either in school, training or at home.
-I really value being caring, consistent, and communication in a relationship! I think those things make or break a relationship.

• I have an anxious attachment, that's why I tend to overthink and get anxious in relationships., although I think I made progress towards being a secure person.

About you:
Same or similar interests as me, values the same things as me, anxious or secure, hopefully someone in the same field as me or in the medicine field.
Looks wise, someone who is same with my height or taller, same age or older too.

• thrilling tremors
• dead man’s switch
• bamboozle
• optional (I like spies from shadows for survivor location)

Addons are the block for killer instinct on teleport and dream pallets with aura reads
Chase survivors into loops, never respecting pallets and either get the hit or take the bonk. Only replace pallets that get dropped to keep things simple
Run survivors into dead zones or loops, preferably where you left a pallet and using bamboozle when needed, basically you can just switch your brain off and keep building that bloodlust until they drop the pallet, real or fake or get trapped by a bamboozled vault
Logically you might think dream pallets are usesless against swfs, but I’ve downed multiple level 100s doing this as the best loopers screw up and drop one eventually if you keep replacing the reals and fakes in the same spot and not spamming them. Even if they drop it on purpose you get an aura read on them which helps later
Also you want to chase them towards generators so you can teleport and immediately carry on the chase with killer instinct. If you time it right they are still looking behind them and you get a feee hit
When you hook someone, start teleporting and walking towards the gen they are working on thanks to thrilling tremors
Only commit to the teleport if DMS doesn’t pop or only pops at the last second. This means they stayed on or didn’t run soon enough to make distance (mindbreaker might be good insurance to stop a sprint burst)
If dms pops early, stop the teleport and walk over. You hopefully can ambush them as they run from the gen and if you don’t see them you at least slowed the game down
If you can’t find anyone just patrol gens like a normal killer. Maybe teleport to a far away one until you find someone
This is a really fun playstyle and is very autopilot friendly. It punishes textbook looping and takes all the guesswork out of mindgames

Just need to vent! I have put up with my mother-in-law‘s manipulations for the past 40 years because I love my husband but man is it getting tiresome. She has always been manipulative towards him even though she was a abusive mother absolutely horrible mother actually. She never has anything nice to say about anyone, when I first was with my husband, I tried to be friends with her. What a mistake! And now that she’s turned 89 she feels she has a right to say anything to anyone even if it’s hurtful. She came home from Florida and told me her fat neighbor had clothes so she bought them for me, lol, so I went and tried them on and said thank God for fat neighbors , she has some nice clothes. Meanwhile, my husband just sits there and says nothing to her. Anything she says is OK that’s what really gets me. I’m sick of arguing with him about her because I just can’t win so I guess my next plan of action is gonna be just avoid her as much as I can Because I can’t be around my husband when he’s around her they make me sick❗️ my daughter refuses to be around her. I don’t wanna take my grandchildren around her because she’s also prejudiced and my grandchildren are Cuban. I just am at the end of my rope with her, I can’t understand why people are like that I wasn’t raised that way. I always treat others as I want to be treated so maybe I’ll start treating her the way she treats me lol that could be very interesting thanks for reading my rant, cheers to things getting better, lol❤️

I only ever pray in my head with my eyes closed to demons. I say it from my heart and conjure emotions of love, respect and thanks. During these times I truly feel they are listening. I don't always ask for things but I feel like an oddball still ingrained by Christian practices I was raised in for doing this. Is this a valid way to practice?

I remember her saying this and me questioning my choice to drink coffee and thinking: “is it a masculine drink?” “Could I be affecting my ability to be feminine by drinking coffee?” “Should I drink more tea?”
I honestly never stopped drinking coffee (a couple breaks here and there) but after this subreddit I am giggling at how her “lifestyle” had me questioning simple things like a cup of coffee 😂😂😂😂
Cheers to the coffee drinkers ☕️ ☕️

So, I know a lot of people have been disappointed by how Tiamat's been used in GXK and honestly I can totally understand that (mainly due to the fact the fight between her and Godzilla was really short and it could have easily been longer and better). However, I've seen a lot of people (especially now with Wingard's latest thoughts on the bonus feature) saying that she didn't deserve what happened to her in this movie and that Godzilla killed her without any good reasons (I'm talking here about in-universe reasons. I completely understand those who think the writers of GXK wasted her by killing her so early). Personally, I absolutely don't agree with this idea and will explain why with this post.
So, first of all, I want to say that I absolutely don't agree with what Wingard said about both Godzilla and Tiamat . For Godzilla, apparently he is selfish and self serving in his decision to kick out and kill Tiamat which he did for the sake of the planet. Excuse me but what? How can he be selfish if what he's doing is for the greater good? I'm sorry but that's a big contradiction. And about Tiamat, she's apparently "an innocent titan". Once again, I'm sorry but anyone who read Godzilla Dominion (which IS canon before anyone says otherwise) knows that she's anything but "innocent". After all, Tiamat is not only a "destroyer" titan (even if that category don't really matter for Godzilla as long as you follow his order and don't make messes around the planet) but she also is, in case you didn't read Dominion, the same titan who tried to kill Godzilla to take his throne by ambushing him from a lair she herself stole by killing The Rival (a member of Kong species) in Dominion. How is that "innocent".
And so, to now talk about the main subject of this post (which is her being killed by Godzilla for apparently no good reason), am I the only one who thought it was obvious from her past criminal record that she went into this specific lair after being kicked out from the last one (which, BTW, was already one she herself stole from The Rival so it's not like she herself is above what Godzilla did and at least, he had a valid reason for doing so both times) to power up with the pink energy and evolve into a form capable of finally taking down Godzilla to take his throne? Like, obviously it wasn't a coincidence she choosed this specific lair to go to. And, at the opposite of Scylla (who decided she was already strong enough to go toe to toe with Godzilla after absorbing radiation from a couple of nuclear facilities which resulted in her very quick death), Tiamat was playing the long game by waiting until she was 100% sure she could beat him next time she'd fight him. It was only a matter of time until she would decide to fight him once again to try to take his throne and Godzilla knew it. And this time, Godzilla would be far from sure to win the battle, even if he dragged her out of the water (at least in his current, not powered-up state prior to GXK).
I think the main reason Godzilla let her off the hook during all those years since Dominion despite probably suspecting what she was trying to do was because she wasn't disobeying any of his orders and wasn't making any fuss around the planet either. What happened in GXK was IMO Godzilla using the imminent threat and his need to become stronger quickly as a final test for Tiamat. He needed the energy of her lair so, if she listened to him and left peacefully for the time he needed, he would have left her alive and would have put behind him what she tried to do in the past. But if she refused and decided to attack him... Then he would be proven right in viewing her as a threat to him and the planet's balance and would act accordingly to get rid of this threat once and for all.
And before someone uses the argument that, according to the novelization, Godzilla stole Tiamat's DNA and so he was already decided to kill her even before he arrived in front of her lair, everything from the movie AND the novelization points towards the fact that his main goal going there was evolving by absorbing the pink radiation. If he really stole and absorbed Tiamat's DNA during his evolution like the novelization implies, it's more of a lack of waste of having to kill her rather than him aiming to kill her for her DNA in the first place.

Seriously, listening to someone as knowledgeable as him approach the paranormal field with open-minded skepticism that doesn't just seek to debunk things, but actually attempts to understand them is refreshing.
This is the kind of skepticism I frequently talk about when discussing skeptics in general. Too often are skeptics lumped in with cynics who just dismiss everything. There is a difference between being a skeptic and a cynic and I honestly think James Houron does a great job of being open-minded, yet still maintaining a skeptic mindset.
Hearing him clap back during the interview on certain things in a reasonable way was awesome and something I feel like does not happen as often as it should in paranormal discussions. Too often things are either dismissed as being paranormal or skeptics are outright dismissed because they've been conflated with cynics.
Anyways, it was a refreshing interview and I'd love more like that!
