2024.05.24 00:28 kpdeadwolf As an autistic woman: Fern Brady, thank you
I’m in my early 20s and was only recently diagnosed a few months ago. I was properly diagnosed with ADHD as a child and that gave me some peace of mind, because at least there was something specific wrong that I could put a name to. But still I felt like there was something more wrong with me, and I didn’t know what it was or why no one else seemed to have the same problems - until I got diagnosed with autism, and that’s been genuinely life-changing.
I’ve been binging Taskmaster and finally got to Series 14. Fern easily and immediately shot to the top of my list of my favorite contestants, because I found something about the way she carried herself so relatable, but I didn’t know why until I found out she’s autistic too. Ep. 9, with her bottle opener prize and cat monologue in Munya’s play task, was what really got me, because they were so authentic in a way that I often find myself too scared to be, and yet everyone else responded so positively! It was the kind of thing I’d assumed would never be possible for me. I’ve had so many moments after diagnosis where I wondered whether I’d ever be able to “fit in” with normal society, and a few times when admittedly I would feel resentful for my autism making things so much harder. Even if I know for a fact that my autism is a huge reason why I’m good at my very specific job, which I love it because it feels like the thing I was made to do: that’s still something that’s hard to remember and appreciate when every conversation still feels like a puzzle I’m too dumb to solve, yet everyone else seems to have no problem at all and just laughs or stares whenever I break a rule I didn’t even know existed.
Having discovered it after listening to her episode on the Taskmaster Podcast, I recently finished reading Fern’s book, Strong Female Character, and it was so incredible to see a public figure describing these same experiences that I’ve never seen anyone else articulate. My childhood wasn’t nearly as tumultuous as Fern’s but the whole experience of seemingly outwardly studious and high-achieving, and so no one takes you seriously when you keep telling them something is wrong and just assumes you’re manipulative or bad when you’re mostly just confused or upset, is dead-on for me, and it’s unexpectedly validating to read that someone else has gone through the same thing.
All of that is to say: I’m so, so grateful that I discovered this book and have already marked down a lot of the resources it references for later reading, but I would have never known about it if Taskmaster hadn’t given Fern Brady a platform to be her authentic self in a way that made it halfway across the world to me in Los Angeles (yes, I am devastated that I didn’t discover her in time to attend her show here just earlier this month). I know that Fern sometimes lurks in this sub so if you see this, I’m so genuinely thankful for you being so outspoken but also so chill about your autism. One of the things I’ve been struggling with is reconciling how my autism has affected every single moment of my life with how I also don’t want it to be the only part of me that other people see; and in classic autistic fashion, I’ve already been looking to you and your book as a guide on how to do that. And thank you so much to LAH and the Taskmaster team for making such a wonderful show that’s so welcoming and joyful that it allows for fans like me to have experiences like this.
As a wise, Scottish cat once said, “We all seek meaning in our lives, no matter how trivial it looks on the outside.” Taskmaster may seem trivial, even ridiculous and insane, from the outside, but I feel like it’s also a stunning example of the importance of diversity and reputation because of how much it can mean to people in the audience, and for that I’m eternally grateful.
(I’m less grateful to TM for eternally traumatizing me with Mike Wozniak by ensuring I can never look at a casserole the same way again, but given the rest of my post, I’m willing to write that one off.)

2024.05.24 00:28 Moldygorilla Just Did My Interview - Fingers crossed
Just finished my interview today.
I feel good about it but I was a bit nervous when I was speaking. I only lost my train of thought once during one of the answers but other than that, I think I did alright.
Any feedback on my answers below is appreciated.

Any feedback on my answers below is appreciated.
- Why did you decide to apply for this apprenticeship?
- Give us an example of a time you got into a confrontation with a coworker (question was something like this)
- Give us an example of a time you had to do something but had very little instruction.
- Is there anything you would like to tell us that we may not have gathered from these questions?
2024.05.24 00:27 Valhauer Rex Splode is slept on
 | Threw this team together because I had a bunch of extra Rex Splodes, and an idea. Boy does it go hard. Hopefully they add downgrading to the game so I can switch out Immortal for Monster Girl. To understand the build check the items and then read Bulletproof, Shrinking Rae, Rex Splode, and Monster Girl in that order of importance. Will be my constant red exp farm/criminal ops.

2024.05.24 00:26 g3thic [F4A][Literate] Roleplay Search!
Hello again! I’m not sure if you’ve seen my other posts about a fandom roleplay but this one is gonna be about any roleplay in general, fandoms included. This’ll be pretty detailed and I’ll let you know the parts if you want to skip ahead (I suggest you don’t). If you don’t wanna read all of this, then don’t. This was made for people willing to read blocks of paragraphs and maybe even respond with their own.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I hail from Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
GENRES + FANDOM
I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.24 00:26 Simple_Psychology_96 Any af recruiters here I have a question?
So a little background...
My son fresh out of high school opted to join the air force It took him a little while getting all his paperwork together And trying to work with his recruiter was an absolute nightmare! He was in a delayed entry program because he was doing special warfare. Took about six months for him to complete special warfare Individual fitness test and once he passed that He was given a rapid Contract And if you waited thirty Special warfare was off the table.
Fast forward, He is four weeks into B m t and he was just told he does not qualify for special warfare because he was Slightly colorblind. Even though his contract was specifically for special warfare. Now he is stuck without a job or any idea of what's going on. I'm pretty sure the air force recruiters Is acted in bad faith. prior to him Entering the delayed entry program.They knew he was colorblind because of meps. And yes , several messages between him and his special warfare recruiter , telling him he doesn't qualify For certain jobs like EOD because he is color blind.Not that he didn't qualify for special warfare at all. He would have ended up going army rangers instead of air force if they would have told him from the beginning..

I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.24 00:25 FloofySkuntank Not-Stars Action ep.2
 | Suggestion by Proofracer: Last time on Not-Stars Action! The two teams with new captains faced the dreaded alien challenge. Whatever team had the most un-slimed members with eggs that made it back to the film lot would win immunity. submitted by FloofySkuntank to TDEliminationTierList [link] [comments] In a confessional Leonard says every time he tries casting magic it just doesn’t work. Perhaps Chris has an anti magic field! He vows to try and not use any spells to see if that would work. The two teams run into the alien facility and scatter, after all one large group would be a bad idea. The intercom then announced that an alien life form was nearby. Eva is following Brick, Sammy, and Dawn. Eva tells Sammy that since they aren’t feeling up to it, Eva can lead the team. Brick points out it’s Sammy’s first day and we should give her some time. Dawn goes to speak only for Chef to emerge. Eva sarcastically asks what they should do? Sammy is still out of it and says nothing. Chef tries to slime all four of them at once. Eva gives Brick a glare only to realize that because Brick was following behind the three girls he’s still spotless. Dawn yells for him to run for it and he does. The Gaffer girls minus Amy huddled together in private. Katie and Sadie tell them that they’d really like to do a girl alliance so Katie and Sadie can finally merge together. Bridgette said her last alliance fell apart so she’s not sure. Ella says she’ll do it. She’d like to see Trent at merge this time and understands them. Bridgette asks what about Amy? They all laugh. Bridgette says she’ll give the alliance a shot. With how long the four talked together in one space though, Chef gets the jump on them, getting slime on all four of them. Trent is alone with Harold. Trent asks Harold for a favor. Harold says as long as it doesn’t involve anything illegal sure. Trent pauses before shrugging and continues. He tells Harold that last time he was in Action he got REALLY WEIRD. He asks Harold to snap him out of it no matter what, and that he can’t risk losing Ella like he lost Gwen. Harold agrees to this and the two shake on it… before being splattered with slime by Chef. Topher and Amy are talking about their alliance. Topher says that Zeke is likely a bust cause of what she did to him. Amy rolls her eyes and asks who he suggests. Topher says they need a schemer. Someone that can be the brains of their operation. Someone like Noah. Any shrugs and says if you can make it happen then. In a confessional Topher cheers. He says audiences love to hate villains. If he tries to be evil maybe he’ll finally get the recognition he deserves! The two walk into a dead end room with Beardo. He tells them not to let the door close behind them or- SLAM We get stuck… with the three trapped the sprinklers went off, dowsing the three of them in slime. Finally in the boiler room the remaining eight players are grabbing eggs. Tyler cheers, slapping Dakota and Staci on the back as they lean over the alien eggs, the two girls fall in from the slap and with a sudden lack of balance Tyler falls in as well. This smashes several eggs and coats the three in slime. The remaining players are going through the exit when they see Chef behind them. Ezekiel tells them to hurry but as the last person he is hit with slime in the back. Chris announces that the military has come to destroy the alien and it’s eggs. Brick is mesmerized and starstruck. He says he’s really going to meet the military? Chris lies and says yep. Just stand right there… B proves he’s a solid captain as he notices the nuke and grabs Noah, running behind a prop. Leonard says he casts Bar- before stopping himself and running behind a standee. Brick is obliterated by a slime nuke for not moving, realizing too late it was a trap. The remaining three men run and make it back to the film lot. Chris then lands the helicopter and says that with a measly score of 2 to 1, the Quiet Gaffers are the winners! In a confessional Leonardo is looking at his alien egg with eyes full of wonder. He says he can’t believe it. He didn’t cast any spells today and almost won for his team! At elimination Chris gives gilded Chris’s to… Brick, Dakota, Leonard, Dawn, Harold, Trent, Eva, and Staci. The final marshmallow goes to… Sammy! Sammy sighs in relief. Tyler asks why he’s going home so soon? Dakota says you messed up my hair! Brick says that all five of them could have left with eggs and possibly won if he hadn’t been so accident prone. No offense. Tyler sighs and wishes everyone good luck as he leaves the competition. Votes for Sammy: Eva and Tyler Votes for Eva: Sammy Votes for Tyler: Brick, Staci, Dakota, Leonard, Dawn Votes for Staci: Harold and Trent With our first fallen it’s time to see who has the acting chops! Teams will be doing their very own plays this time! And three members from each team must perform on stage. They will be judged based on set design, characters, and overall performance. In this slightly altered version of the challenge who will come out on top and who will break a leg? That’s for YOU to decide! |
2024.05.24 00:24 austinjm34 Use sports teams names only in app?
I’m working on a social media, Reddit-type app for sports and planning on using all the major North American sports teams. Would it be copyright infringement to just use the team names, no logos or player names, as basis of pages in the app? It’s basically like subreddits, and obviously the subreddits here are labeled with the team names. I know logos is a no-go but I’m wondering if just names would be okay?

2024.05.24 00:24 Daddy_Topps Giving out prizes in the classroom
So in all of my experiences and education, it was suggested not to give out prizes for behavior. At my new job as a headstart teacher (early 3s), all of the other teachers give out candy and little toys. Sometimes it’s for behavior, sometimes it’s for retaining information. It seems like every kid goes home with treasure box items pretty frequently, and I haven’t seen any major issues in any classes regarding the treats.
So I decided I’d do it as well. I mean I love buying things for my kiddos so I figured it would be fun . Well my TA is a little stricter than I am. In my opinion, every kid should go home with a treat if I’m peddling them all day. Especially with 3s it just feels silly to expect them to control their impulses for 8 hours over a lollipop. However through out the day my TA will start threatening kids and decide when they’re not getting that reward. I’ve tried to talk with her about this, but she’s got an old school opinion on the situation, and she thinks I’m flawed for being too nice.
Well today my boss even told me “I’ll fully support you if a child is throwing a fit because he didn’t earn a treat” which affirmed my coworker. I’m kinda feeling stuck. Am I wrong here? I’ve learned a lot from my team, so I’m feeling like maybe I should follow their lead.

2024.05.24 00:23 TeachGullible Praying someone from the social media team sees this:
This is a song released by a local musician in 1980. Her name? Ellen Amos, more commonly known as Tori Amos.
It would be down right hysterical if the Orioles made a sort of 1980's TV show intro type promo reel using the song featuring all of the current players.
Think about it:
Gunnar Henderson smiles to the camera while on a ladder...in the middle of the infield.
Santander and Mullins get into a water fight while washing the truck next to Boog's.
Kyle Bradish throws a pitch, smiles to the camera and then gets plunked and dazed.
Jim Palmer reading a news paper with him on the front page only to be interrupted by a ball hitting and startling him.
The social media team is already one of the best in the league. They could really run with this idea.
Would love to hear other suggestions!

2024.05.24 00:22 Dangerous-Page8231 Over under 1.5 trades this off season
I personally think that this roster should primarily stay the same
But I feel there is a possibility that we make some moves There’s a logjam of wings in New Orleans, and they’re going to trade one of them. I pray it’s not Brandon Ingram and it’s either herb jones or Trey Murphy III, they would both be incredible fits on this team and I’d give up 3 good firsts for the both of them

2024.05.24 00:22 Green-Kale2866 Name advice
(New account cause I’m not sure if people know my main account)
Alright, so I’m 18 ftm, been out for 3 years, 2 years on T, 4 months post op top surgery (yay!). Throughout my entire journey, I’ve always struggled with my name. Even before I came out, I hated my dead name, and it’s just gotten worse since coming out. For nearly a year after coming out, I struggled finding a name that I felt worked for me and I liked. I’ve tried a bunch, and my family kinda got sick of it. Eventually, my mom came up with the idea of “Sullivan” after her mother’s maiden name. I liked it enough at the time, I’ve gone by “Sully” for a bit now, but I just don’t like it enough to be stuck with it for my life (despite what my mom says, I refuse to be “stuck” with a name I don’t like enough). I feel like I struggle with finding a name because I never liked my name growing up and it’s put a lot of pressure on me to find the “perfect” name.
I’ve started working on legally changing my name, but the issue is, I don’t have a name I want to be my first. Sullivan would be my middle name, but I have yet to find a first name I like enough.
Recently I thought of the name Danvers. I know it’s more of a last name (guess that’s kinda my thing) and the name is more likely to out me, but I personally am not stealth, and I don’t plan to be stealth, I like to be open about my identity and who I am, in case it can help other people be who they are, cause you never know. The name Danvers comes from a show that end up being my first introduction into the LGBTQ community. Before seeing this couple get together, I knew nothing of it, I didn’t even know it was or could be a thing and it blew my mind and opened up so many doors for me that lead me to discovering myself.
I don’t have much of a sounding board when it comes to names, and trying to find one. My mom wants me to stick with Sully, my dad would be no help at all, and my sisters are helpful in a way that only sisters could be, and find ways to make fun of any potential name and ways I could be bullied for having that name (lol). So to my fellow guys, enbys and anyone else on this sub, what are your honest thoughts on the name Danvers? Or feel free to drop some name suggestions if you’re willing.
Thanks in advance for any advice :) (Also thanks for reading if you made it this far lol)

2024.05.24 00:22 bobthedino83 Painful suppositories
So my pain specialist gave me some Scheriproct suppositories to try for my chronic post-BM or gas lower bowel and rectal pain. They contain cortisone and cinchocaine which is a local anaesthetic.
I recently did a nerve block which showed some positive results and then did another one of some different nerves which didn't show any results - doc's conclusion was that my pain is using the parasympathetic nerves i.e. Vagus nerve which is harder to block precisely. One option is a caudal block but before that he reckoned I should try Scheriproct as that's going to give me localised pain relief.
So here I am for the 2nd night in a row. Empty rectum and bowel after a 5 star BM (thanks psyllium) with a Scheriproct all the way up there. I clenched quite a bit and I reckon it moved up pretty far. While I was still on my feet I couldn't feel it. But now lying down in bed I'm acutely aware of a dull, bordering on sharp pain in my lower bowel/rectal area. Much more painful than if hadn't put it up there. That shouldn't be the case as this stuff is literally an anesthetic.
Any ideas how this is possible? Is this central sensitization gone off the charts?
P. S. After a lot of reading on this sub I've decided to investigate pelvic floor dysfunction as it seems to fit my symptoms well.

2024.05.24 00:21 RicketyBrickety Idea to significantly improve Deadlock's wall and anti-dive potential.
This is an idea to improve Deadlock without losing her defining anti-dive characteristic.
Currently, the wall deploys quickly and the extended range helps it cover what it needs to cover but it severely lacks precision and very typically requires Deadlock to be a little exposed to toss it into place.
Idea:
The Deadlock wall should operate in two ways:
Right click: This would have the wall function as it does now, tossed and instantly deployed where it lands.
Left Click: The left click will do one function on the first click, and another on the second.
First click deploys the wall pod. In this state, it's visible when close, like any other invisible piece of utility and also has a lot of health. I mean a LOT - Perhaps 3 phantom/vandal magazine's worth of HP, but more vulnerable to knives to give it more pistol round counterplay. This way, a lurker isn't going to be able to break it without having a lot of time to do so and ending up on only 1 magazine afterwards if they opt to shoot it from safety instead of knifing it and being exposed. Additionally if a team wants to break it before its deployed it'll still take a moment and require either shooting in shifts (between 2-3 people) or a big team commitment of 4+ players with 3 spraying and 1-2 holding.
Second left click activates the ability, causing the walls to appear. Players between two walls are pushed to wherever they mostly are. If they are perfectly 50% on each side, then they go the direction they are facing. If they are facing parallel to the wall, perfectly, then idk - they are pushed outward along the wall and are dropped off left/right/at the end of it depending on the geometry.
This way, Deadlock would have the ability to activate her wall after the dive agents are in to try and trap them and take them out before the team can get past her wall. They can also place the wall and activate it later for teammates. It'd give Deadlock a stronger anti-dive identity that currently is honestly done better by viper (orb + molly the choke when attackers launch utility - they either stop and waste their take utility or the dive agents risk it and try to take out viper as they wait for their team).
Just a though I had about an agent who hasn't quite found a good spot in the game in my opinion. If they're supposed to be anti-dive, then I feel like this would better fit the concept. Potentially, Deadlock should also be able to activate her trips remotely as well.

2024.05.24 00:21 ogland11 Urine retention, have a catheter but no answer!
34F, 5’4” 140 lbs, in the US
Yesterday I started having trouble urinating. I would try but would only be successful about a third of the time. I woke up this morning and was unable to go at all. I tried between 5am and 9am and then headed to the ER.
ER put in a catheter after checking how full my bladder was. ER urine and blood tests were negative for any UTI. They did an emergency lumbar spine MRI and consulted with a neurosurgeon and it’s not my spine. I only started one new medication recently - Phenergan for migraine. Doctor said that’s not known to cause this. They’re going to try and fit me in a for a brain mri but they said they have eliminated all of the emergency causes and to make appointments with urology and neurosurgery so otherwise I’m discharged. They have given me a walking bag and told me to keep the catheter in.
As we all know, trying to get tests done outpatient takes forever. I cannot fathom going home using a catheter with no answers and no timeline.
I beg - please give me some ideas of what may cause urine retention. I cannot believe that urology will suddenly have an answer since this was fine three days ago and suddenly isn’t. And neurosurgery already said it wasn’t my back.
Help!

I think that's the question people need to ask in terms of "should this character be redeemed?" because it seems to me these days characters are redeemed simply because they are well liked, rather than it fitting in with the overall story. Azula didn't need to be redeemed in ATLA, because it didn't fit in with that story they wanted to tell. Azula as she was, served her purpose. I really rather like the idea that Danny Fenton's ultimate enemy would end up being himself. All of his worst traits, all of his worse possibilities come to life. That was definitely unique and terrifying to think about. It's what every hero should fear; what happens when you stop pulling your punches? What happens when you lose too much? Then again I think IF DONE WELL, Dan trying to find that lost humanity could be extremely fascinating. I can see him as still being pretty rough around the edges, aloof, not fully one of the group, but trying. Just a bit...unhinged in his methods. I think that's what would make his attempt work whereas most other attempts at redemption feel...half baked. If he still sticks to his more violent tendencies, but this time they come from the right place...It would still feel a bit more in character. What do you think? Would you be up for this terrifying villain to get redemption, or would you rather leave things as they are? What do you think would happen if this show was ever rebooted?

2024.05.24 00:19 Hisbejeneb I’ve been trying to figure out what my type is. I would really appreciate some help.
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
-I am a 17 year old male from England and I’m currently studying philosophy, sociology and ancient history at college.
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
-I was diagnosed with autism at age 12.
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
-I am an only child and lived in a secular family consisting of just me, my mum and my dad. Both of them were very laid back regarding discipline. One thing that could be said is that they gave me too much unconditional love, especially my mother. This, in turn, resulted in them not really teaching me important life skills and independence for fear of putting me in harms way. Thus, in the past 2 years I’ve had a bit of an awaking and have become hyper independent to remedy the lack of life skills and lessons taught during my early childhood.
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
-My ideal employment, realistically, would be a teacher. I really like the idea of taking on a task and being able to enforce original methods to attain the best possible results. That process is the general principle behind a lot of my interests and teaching is a job where it is present.
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
-I Would feel refreshed. I get really tired when I’m around people. I think that may come from the fact that I tend to put on an act when I’m interacting with others in order to make them like me. This is a favourable result as the more people you are on good terms with, the more likely they are to be a potential asset to your life as opposed to a possible hinderance.
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
-I enjoy topics that are synthesised with progressing my main goal(s). For example, I enjoy learning about mbti because it is a component of my main goal to understand myself and thus can help me achieve happiness more effectively as I believe this is the main assignment of life.
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
-I would consider my pursuits of curiosity to be loosely filtered through what may be useful to attaining a personal goal and I don’t often get carried away with ideas that have no overall importance to it. I say loosely because I can’t be certain what will be of importance to my pursuits, so for this reason I sometimes stray a from things that I know will be personally beneficial in the long term for things that could be useful, by virtue of the interconnectedness of everything.
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
-I would really like to take on a leadership position. I think I would be good at figuring out solutions and assigning them to people based on an overall objective. However I do not think I’d be very good at leadership in practice. This is because I’m not very quick at making decisions. Thus, my leadership style would be less about leadership and more being a personal adviser to members of a team to ensure they are all going in the same direction.
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
-I don’t feel as though I’m very physically coordinated. I often have to focus on my environment and my movement at the expense of deeper thought. I’ve never really resonated with the popular notion that walks are therapeutic and thought provoking. For me, they are stressful and prohibit any other thoughts than the ones related to keeping my movement and environment in check.
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
-I enjoy art that operates under the pretence that art is a language. I like art that communicates meaning. The reason why I like this type of art at all when it just seems like, if communication is the primary source of my investment, I should just focus on objective language rather than something as convoluted and prone to misinterpretation as art. To this I say, art elicits emotion and creates an immediate reason to care about the message. Thus, making the point carry to greater extent.
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
-Most of my time is devoted to figuring out how to get to a desirable destination in the future. By the same token, the present is also very important to me as it is paramount to the aforementioned goal. The past is the timeframe I spend the least time thinking about when I’m happy. It’s not that I don’t consciously recognise it’s value in being a possible example for the future, it’s just not something I have a propensity to think about. I really only dwell on the past when I’m feeling down.
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
-My main reason for helping someone echoes an above mentioned sentiment. I would really only help someone to build good will with them, because it lowers the chances they will be a destructive force in your life. Moreover, they are indebted to you for a time which is always handy.
• Do you need logical consistency in your life?
-The primary system of logic I use is what has utility to achieving a goal. I’m not too bothered about logic for logics sake. I don’t live in the details of subjects and thus don’t care about the underlying logic, just what has the most personal utility.
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
-They are both really important to me. I like to see results. I always feel unfulfilled by the notion; I probably could achieve x and therefore there’s no point in doing y. I might switch to this mindset if I’m burned out as a coping mechanism for me not being able to express my desire to be productive. But that just emphasises it’s importance to me if I’m willing to change my beliefs to avoid the sadness brought about by unproductivity.
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
-I control others implicitly by acting overly polite and sometimes resort to people pleasing to gain favour with them. This helps with the fact that I’m pretty dependent on what others think of me and their perceptions of me often supersede or coexist with my own beliefs and observations about myself, even if I can logically reason reason them to be erroneous judgements.
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
-As mentioned in the desired career question, I enjoy hobbies that revolve around implementing original strategies to attain a desirable outcome. Because of this, I enjoy strategy games such total war and chess. once again, as mentioned previously another reason why I enjoy some hobbies is because they contribute to a larger goal. Such as my interest for mbti because, it allows me to understand myself, so I know how best to attain happiness and in turn, fulfil what I consider to be the primary objective of life in its most general form.
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
-I prefer to have a plan before action. I like to feel as though most things have been decided beforehand and I’m just reading off a to do list written by past me.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
-My professional aspirations are a means to an end. I want to get a job that I enjoy, is stable and provides an income, in the hope that I can stop thinking so much about it and can focus on the more personal aspects of life. Like figuring out how best to achieve happiness after I’ve stabilised my external life.
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
-I really fear upsetting people. Partly because I’m scared of how they will react. Especially in ways that could de-stabilise my life. Moreover, as I mentioned previously, I unfortunately have a propensity to need gratification from others and if I upset people I might begin to feel insecure in myself. A lot of what I do can be chalked up to an attempt to attain the admiration of others. I also fear not being able to make my plans and goals come into fruition.
• What do the "highs" in your life look like?
-The highs in my life often involve a dedication to a goal that gets me up every day. I’ll constantly be excited to get one step closer to achieving it. The goal when I’m happy revolves around a more thought out desire for the long term. Furthermore, this is accompanied by a disregard for the appearance of things. In these times I just focus on the character of things and perceive things through a lenses of principles and ideas. Moreover, the type of gratification I seek revolves around my capacity to think.
• What do the "lows" in your life look like?
-By contrast, my lows are aimless at best and destructive at worst. When Im considering the future in these moments I tend to forget about happiness and in turn have a bleak outlook on the future. This leads me to being generally quite unproductive. My gratification seeking becomes much more shallow aswell. It tends to revolve more around appearance and wanting others to view me as attractive. As a result of this I developed anorexia as a byproduct of trying to look more attractive in a period of stress. Moreover, it gave me something to control as I feel an excessive need to do this when I’m stressed.
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
-I do daydream, Though not as much as I used to. When I daydream it’s usually to test how something I wish to do might go if I were to do it.
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
-I would consider the main reason for my beliefs again and make updates to it that would eventually trickle down to actionable changes. If I didn’t manage to find any faults in my beliefs and principles of conduct I would keep my goal the same and think about things I could do to achieve it.
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
-It usually takes me a little while to come to a decision, particularly if it has long term consequences, as I like to look at the external factors and see if they would suit me internally and/or if it would be beneficial to me in the future. Once I’ve come to a decision on a matter, ideologically I think it is best to stick to it because you can maximise the benefits that a particular path can provide. However, if the evidence changes and it contradicts the original reason for making the decision I will change my mind.
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
-It usually takes me a while to figure out my emotions. They often appear feint and undefined even though I know there’s something there. When I felt really down for months I couldn’t seem to validate my own emotions. To remedy this I tried to keep a journal collecting statistics including whether I cried, how many times? For how long? Have you self harmed in any way? this created a picture from which I could derive a conclusion. However, I have recently begun to value emotions much more than I did. Previously, I would’ve consciously neglected them. However, ever since I developed anorexia and had a really long period of time where I felt negative emotions I realise how powerful they are and how they must be utilised in your favour otherwise life wouldn’t be worth living.
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
-This is something I do quite often with people I’m not acquainted with, as I value the utility of a social connection more than convincing a few people of my beliefs. However, it happens less with people who I know well enough to comfortably make the assertion that an ideological disagreement wouldn’t jeopardise the relationship.
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
-I avoid rule breaking that could lead to excessive repercussions. Since I purvey my conduct with the main intention of long term personal fulfilment some consequences that impede this mean that I generally obey rules. However if the consequences are avoidable and/or inconsequential I have no problem breaking those rules. Like cheating in exams for example.

• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
- I get along fine with the typical learning environment of a classroom lecture. So long as the teacher is charismatic I can let my mind put on a stage performance of what’s being said and I tend to remember those quite well as my it forces me to filter everything through my own perceptions which results in personal meaning being attached to them and thus increases the likelihood I’ll remember the content of the lesson. However, I dislike when you are made to do an abundance of preselected and linear worksheets. I just like making notes with loads of arrows connecting everything. This helps me remember stuff because it displays how it’s all relevant to a bigger concept and doesn’t allow for stuff that isn’t connected to be written down so it filters out unimportant stuff.
-I prefer to have a plan before action. I like to feel as though most things have been decided beforehand and I’m just reading off a to do list written by past me.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
-My professional aspirations are a means to an end.

-I avoid rule breaking that could lead to excessive repercussions. Since I purvey my conduct with the main intention of long term personal fulfilment some consequences that impede this mean that I generally obey rules. However if the consequences are avoidable and/or inconsequential I have no problem breaking those rules. Like cheating in exams for example.
