2024.06.07 21:33 Dangerous-Eye3714 How can I move past it?
I know most women experience CSA but it also seems like those who do just seem to deal with it a lot better than I have. They feel anger towards the perpetrator, whereas I feel anger at myself. They were glad when they got away, whereas I feel incredible guilt for not having kept my mouth shut and sustained it for longer. They know what happened to them wasn't okay, whereas I'm convinced what was done to me was some exception to the rule of CSA being wrong.
The result of this, besides my self-esteem being in the toilet, is that I ruminate over it constantly. Not a day has gone by in the past 20 years that I haven't spent at least a few hours ruminating, going over the incident in my head, Googling it. I've read all of Reddit and enough papers to write a dissertation. And yet, I never find answers. I never find closure. I desperately want to move on and close this chapter in my life but I cannot.
My questions: 1) is this at all a normal response to CSA? Not a single person I know seems to react in this way and it just adds to the confusion 2) what is the treatment for this? How long does it take to work? Is it a cure or something I have to keep managing?
Thanks.

2024.06.07 21:24 SkyIsntFalling11 How do you trick yourself into making a task fun?
Hello all!
So I have AuDHD and struggle a lot with executive functioning and getting important tasks done when they aren't something that interests me. I know that with ADHD (and autism but idk if to the same extent), a task is easier to get done when it meets one or more of these categories: 1. Interest, 2. Novelty, 3. Challenge, or 4. Urgency in that order. But unfortunately a lot of tasks that need doing don't really fall into any of those categories. Do you guys have little games or ways that you trick your brain into making a task more enjoyable? For example, I know someone who finds it a lot easier to tidy their home/do dishes when they play medieval music and pretend that they are the owner of an inn/pub in a fantasy environment.
I'm an actor, which requires a bunch of submissions and searching the internet for roles and trying to submit to agencies. The actual acting part is a breeze, because that is what I'm interested in. But the submissions and computer work are definitely less so. It's hard to motivate myself because none of these things necessarily have strict deadlines, so I can't wait for the last minute boost of adrenaline that usually helps me with tasks like this (for example: homework deadlines). Any tips on how to trick myself into making it feel more exciting? Or even bearable? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Some info that may help recommendations:

TLDR; Any tips on how to trick myself into making tasks feel more exciting/fun? Or even bearable? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

- I have a lot of interest in fiction and fandom related topics, so any ideas adapting to that
- I try to do the pomodoro technique or the 5 minute rule, but the act of starting still gets me overwhelmed
- Things like keeping a planner, setting alarms, etc. are less helpful because I'm still stuck without meeting any of the 4 categories I mentioned above
- I really struggle setting my own deadline (i.e. I need to get 3 submissions in by 3 today) because I'm less likely to hold myself accountable to something I made up arbitrarily.

2024.06.07 21:18 gmSancty My Magic system asks the question: how much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to become stronger?
The Life Weave:
- All living creatures possess a collection of energies referred to as "the Life Weave."
- The Life Weave corresponds to three things: The size of a creature's body, their general health, and the amount of echoes of creation (mana) they have innately stored inside of themselves.
- Adult man has more than a child which has more than a dog.
- Someone born healthy has a larger Life Weave than someone born sickly.
- Someone suffering from a chronic or terminal illness have suffer a reduction in the size of their Life Weave
- A person's Life Weave gains potency with the more [echoes they have stored within themselves.
- Esharans have slightly more on average than humans.
Abilities:
- Lifeweavers have the ability to draw upon one of their senses, physical, or mental attributes so that they may boost the power of another.
- Lifeweavers can consciously maintain their life force, slowing the aging process.
- Lifeweavers can focus on and enhance their body's processes, i.e. natural healing, getting over normal sickness/hangover, passing poison, etc.
- Roughly one in every three Lifeweavers are strong enough to manipulate the weave of others, allowing them to perform healing arts.
- Manipulating another creature's Life Weave is the one exception to the "minimal echoes" rule. The more extreme the process, the more energy is required.
- Healing a minor scrape may require only a little bit more, but working for hours to clean and repair a severed limb may take multiple whole vials of refined echoes
- The speed in which a wound may be healed is also relative to the formation of the subject's weave pattern. A bolstered weave will heal faster.
- It is impossible to regrow body parts once severed, but it is possible to reattach them or to repair injured organs provided they are mostly intact.
- Lifeweavers with the ability to manipulate the weave of others can also "snip" the threads of any being and give them to another. Whether stealing from another to bolster themselves or sacrificing a piece of themselves, the effect is never temporary.
- It is impossible to take back a thread that you have given to someone without snipping it out again, which means that snipping your own weave to give to someone else is an irreversible process.
- This ability is considered taboo and forbidden, though it has also allowed for miracles where a Lifeweaver was able to sacrifice a piece of themselves to pull someone else back from the brink of death.
Cost:
- Manipulating your own weave costs a baseline of echoes to perform, roughly only 1/5th of a small vial of refined echoes.
- Manipulating the weave of another requires a greater baseline of echoes, roughly double the baseline for yourself. The more extreme the alteration and the more drawn out the process, the greater the requirement to sustain the process.
- Pushing oneself too hard can be dangerous and result in damage.
- Exerting a bolstered aspect too much or too often results in it's subsequent bolstering to be less effective. They will need to divert more to that aspect to receive a similar result.
- Prolonged absence of a pattern will begin to damage that aspect. Someone who uses their hearing too often may start to go deaf, or someone who sacrifices their physical strength to boost their mental acuity may begin to find their bodies withering away from atrophy.
- These costs are all in addition to the general cost of depleting one's own echoes without replenishing them.
- Symptoms such as increased risk of disease, mental illness, and psychosis can compound their effects when someone is without a particular corresponding thread.
Example Combinations:
- **Sacrifice Touch, Bolster Strength:** Numb the body to gain immense physical power.
- **Sacrifice Hearing, Bolster Sight:** Deafen oneself to gain superhuman vision.
- **Sacrifice Strength, Bolster Mental Acuity:** Weaken the muscles to enhance cognitive abilities.
- **Sacrifice Endurance, Bolster Reflexes:** Reduce stamina to heighten quickness in reactions.
- **Sacrifice Dexterity, Bolster Speed:** Sacrifice fine motor skills to enhance physical speed.
Individual aspects of one's mental acuity may be manipulated in order to bolster others:
- **Sacrifice Balance, Bolster Creativity:** Compromise equilibrium to unlock higher creative potential/ability to think outside the box.
- **Sacrifice Empathy, Bolster Critical thinking:** Reduce emotional sensitivity to be able to think more critically and clearly.
An excerpt from "[[The Great Chronicle]]," culmination of [[Proprietor Yeoz]]' life work. Published on the 1st day of the 1st month, 357 AA.
When the first form of Adon rained down from the heavens, so too came the power over living creation. Without Adon's touch, all would be lifeless and devoid of meaning. It is known that all living things have within themselves a network of energies that bestow upon them animation. The network of life-giving substances flow throughout the body and enable one to act, though for most it is not an active process. Throughout my work I shall refer to these energies as a weave, as they have been described first hand to myself, to be as a tapestry of one's life. To manipulate the weave is comparable to reknitting fabric.
For those blessed by His touch, this weave of energies is an ethereal wonder made manifest. It has been noted by many trained and untrained Inheritors that the weave is something known or felt, rather than explicitly seen. It is the opinion of some scholars, myself included, that this weave is a complex network of pathways throughout the body through which one's lifeblood is carried. A curious exception to this (and the basis of many arguments to the contrary) is that certain plants seem to poses the weave as well, despite not subsisting on the lifeblood. While the weave is unseen, it is entirely real and possesses all living and animate creatures that traverse this mortal realm. These Inheritors are commonly referred to as "Lifeweavers," though various cultures may have their own names and misguided origins for the practice.
The abilities of any such Inheritor vary from person to person and seem to be limited only by one's aptitude, imagination, and whatever threads they may know. Compared to other manifestations of Adon, the practice of manipulating the weave of life energies does not depend on the quantity of echoes called upon; The same quantity is needed regardless of task, only enough to "grasp the weave" as it is called. Once one has grasped the weave, they are limited only to the amount of material they have on hand. Just as the other manifestations, whatever echoes used in the process are released in the same manner.
One may bundle the weaves together to localize and enhance their output, allowing for supernatural feats. A particular threading of the weave may cause a single man to gain the strength of ten, or another allow one to hear even the heartbeats of a bird a hundred meters away. These boons come at a cost, however. One's body has a finite resource of weave and to reinforce one pattern is to borrow from another. Extreme exertion of the reinforced thread may cause one's being to become increasingly reliant on its elevated status while the borrowed pattern may begin to suffer atrophy. In layman's terms, not only will one's increased strength lose its potency, but too much use of a certain pattern will cause the user to begin to lose it altogether. In addition to the rethreading of patterns, the functions of the body can be altered as well in order to reduce aging or speed up the natural healing process.
Common threads that are recognized by most Lifeweavers are as follows: touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell, physical strength, speed, agility, endurance, and mental acuity. 'Mental acuity' serves as an umbrella category for the cognitive functions of one's mind including their capacity for memory, their reactiveness and clarity, their personal empathy and charisma, among others.
While considered taboo by some cultures, many Lifeweavers possess the ability to manipulate the weaves of other creatures as well. While the process is time consuming and stressful, this ability is what lead to the discovery of the healing arts. Unfortunately, complex rethreadment which could result in the restoration of hearing within the deaf or sight within the blind requires the most adept among all Lifeweavers and is an extremely rare gift.
As with many gifts, there are those who may abuse it. While they have been outlawed and declared forbidden by most civilized peoples, there are those who have been known to manipulate the weave on less than willing subjects. I will not document these processes in detail for fear of propagating the practice, but I will note the unfortunate practice of 'snipping,' wherein one may tear away the threads of another living being to temporarily boost their own. While it is fleeting, this process is the only known way to circumnavigate any personal cost associated with altering a weave.

2024.06.07 21:00 No-Plant5008 Possible speculations : History of Glamoth the origin of the iron cavalry and the demise of The Glamoth Empire
 | This post is going to be very long but it will be easy to read and split into sections that you can skip if you want and only ready what interested you into clicking this post. The reason I did this was because I love Firefly and this is just how I express it. submitted by No-Plant5008 to FireflyMains [link] [comments] The following is the entire description of The Glamoth Empire planet ornament including the orb and rope. https://preview.redd.it/t7ty6zwx375d1.png?width=246&format=png&auto=webp&s=e20e22149a23a1f3c44b27aa087ee1702a856808 Historians of the Intelligentsia Guild believe that the Republic of Glamoth was destroyed by the scourge of the Swarm. Another view claims that the Republic of Glamoth was destroyed by how it completely overshot its powerful enemy. In order to turn the tide in the invasion of the Swarm, the ruling council resolved to alter the essence of humanity in an effort to adapt to the war and created a weapon "born to fight." The result of all this was "Titania." The Empress, who held no power, telepathically commanded and controlled the knights connected to her. In the dreams that these warriors are woven into, the sole meaning of their existence is to guard Titania and her "empire." In their short lives, they studied, fought, received the Empress' commands, faced the enemy fearlessly, and died with honor. In their dream, the Welkin Empire of Glamoth enjoyed a vast territory spanning tens of thousands of light-years, ambitiously setting its sight on the cosmos. At the height of the empire's power, Her Majesty Empress Titania built a magnificent fleet, vowing to bring the fruits of civilization to all the barbaric borders, allowing them a taste of the empire's benevolence in hopes of uniting them under one rule. However, the expedition was eventually halted by endless waves of insectoids coming from beyond the sky. Glamoth's armies fought and failed, again and again... Colonies were scattered, and the iron fleet fell one after another. Besieged by the Swarm, the cries of the people of Glamoth were drowned out by despair, and the Welkin Empire was shattered from then on. Until one day, knights clad in mechanical armor descended from the sky and wiped out the sun-swallowing Swarm. Since then, the silver-white iron knights have traveled to and from the various star systems in the empire, crossing the devastated territories and fighting back against the calamity that wiped out the galaxy. They were like warriors born to fight the Swarm. No one knew the faces lying beneath the masks of the Iron Calvary, but their arrival was like a gift from the gods, bringing the light of day back to the human world. Under the Empress' command, Glamoth's Iron Cavalry charged across the skies, finally stemming the tide of enemies and bringing a moment of respite to the empire. But in the never-ending battle against their archenemy, the empire started becoming more and more like its adversary — more and more Iron Calvary flew high into the sky, blotting out the heavens just as the Swarm did on that fateful day. The look people cast on the Empress and the cavalry turned to one of fear, a fear akin to what they felt toward the Swarm. The Iron Cavalry Regiment formed the last line of defense at the border of Glamoth, where the battle raged on endlessly. Upon their warships, the silent knights bore a mission, carrying the hopes of the entire empire, and faced the tides of enemies drowning out the stars. No one knew when exactly this falsehood was revealed. Perhaps it was from the day when the old humans in Glamoth's territories fell below a certain percentage, or the day when scientists realized that the Empress was beginning to revolt against her captivity, or maybe the day when the Swarm's onslaught dissipated into thin air. All the people knew was that the Iron Cavalry gave their all for the non-existent "empire." After decades of bloody battles, the remains of mechas and insect limbs turned into dense debris strewn throughout Glamoth's star system, connecting with each other to form a "River of Death." When the remnants of the Swarm no longer posed a threat and the leaders of the council rang the bell of peace, informing the citizens that they had dispelled the apocalypse that clouded the heavens and the republic would be ushered back into the light of day — What arrived was not daylight, but the beginning of another sunless night. After that, the civilization known as Glamoth faded away, and the long-awaited peace came to the empty stars. The long river of stardust and debris flows silently along the void.\1]) I interchange the use of mechas and iron cavalry don't be confused as they mean the same thing Origin of Titania and the Iron cavalryThe first thing to cover is the weapon created the Empress 'Titania' she was a human that was alterted becoming a so called altered human the evidece to support this is in the text above 'the ruling council resolved to alter the essence of humanity in an effort to adapt to the war and created a weapon "born to fight.' here it clearly states they altered a human and created a weapon called Titania to control the iron cavalry. That in itself is not sufficient evidence as it can be interpretated in various other ways but before i explain further why i still believe this first is to discuss the origin of the iron cavalry. Think about this if and I mean if just a possibility the Empress Titania was an altered human born to made a weapon then wouldn't that mean that the iron cavalry are the same how i got here is in the following text ' Perhaps it was from the day when the old humans in Glamoth's territories fell below a certain percentage'. Focus first on the specific term use of old humans meaning that there are new humans possibly altered humans and the population of those old humans(unaltered humans) population was dwindling and decreasing but no mention of the swarms involvement at all I'm sure at this point you should see where I'm going with this they took the population of the citizens of The Glamoth Empire and altered them to produce the iron cavalry if not turned into mechas then what I'm going to address this point further. From the fact that firefly herself can pilot the mech suit you would think they were just forced to pilot the suits and just made them part machine or changed their anatomy and DNA but the truth is far crueler. To first address my point i bring you these two texts 'when the Swarm was finally defeated, the combined debris of mechas, warships and lepisma corpses around the star system continued to blot out the sun from their home planet.' and 'remains of mechas and insect limbs turned into dense debris strewn throughout Glamoth's star system, connecting with each other to form a "River of Death." ' .Did you notice anything from there in both texts they talk about the remains of the swarm bugs and debris of mechas but have they mentioned anything about bloody bodies or blood of humans they say the word 'lepisma' which is known as a bug which shows that they mentioned the corpses of the swarm but when they mention they bodies of mechas they say it as 'debris' which means when they were humans they were altered to the point of not needed a human body with the advance technology at their disposal with the fact that they can create actual working function mechas which seems plausible due to the fact that The Glamoth Empire encompasses an entire star system its not totally out of the question the citizens of The Glamoth Empire were turned into mechs to the point of not needed bodies and its only function and directive was to as said in this text ' the sole meaning of their existence is to guard Titania and her "empire." ' they only needed the mental and cognitive capabilities of a human such as only their brain or transferred their consciousness into the mechs and alterted it to only follow the commands of the Empress Titania which may seem the more plausible explanation as there are no remains of human remains whatsoever.Continuing on this point even considering the council took humans and made them into mindless weapons of war the scale of it is unprecedented as you know the swarm has the ability to replicate and produce more of its kind without limit just a few hundred or even a million or billion of mechs wouldn't be able to handle an onslaught of swarms so they made as much humans of Glamoth into mechs to counter the swarm the population of Glamoth dwindled evidence in this text 'when the old humans in Glamoth's territories fell below a certain percentage' the Glamoth Empire population should easily exceed more than 50 billion minimum as the Glamoth Empire comprises of an entire star system and if a population of that much population decreased below a certain percentage what should that say that about the amount of humans used to be turned into mechs makes you think... the scale of it. Iron cavalry aftermathEventually the swarm threat was defeated at the cost of of enough mechs that can blot out the entire sun ' the combined debris of mechas, warships and lepisma corpses around the star system continued to blot out the sun from their home planet'. At the cost of countless unimaginable numbers of mechs the swarm threat was over but you'd think its a happy ending but then this question remains The Glamoth Empire was destroyed gone but if the swarm was defeated but yet that outcome still happened what do you think ended The Glamoth Empire. Going further is speculation based on small amount of information from the planet ornaments and conversations and observations made by Firefly. As the swarm threat was ongoing the citizens of Glamoth were more afraid of the fact that the amount of mechs seem to match or even exceed the amount of swarm they see they feared the mechs more than the swarm threat as evidenced by this text 'the empire started becoming more and more like its adversary — more and more Iron Calvary flew high into the sky, blotting out the heavens just as the Swarm did on that fateful day' and this text 'The look people cast on the Empress and the cavalry turned to one of fear, a fear akin to what they felt toward the Swarm' the citizens of Glamoth were afraid of the iron cavalry even if they were saving them and their suspicions turned out to be warranted if you were to read these texts 'When the remnants of the Swarm no longer posed a threat and the leaders of the council rang the bell of peace, informing the citizens that they had dispelled the apocalypse that clouded the heavens and the republic would be ushered back into the light of day — What arrived was not daylight, but the beginning of another sunless night.' focus more on the sunless night at first I thought it meant that the amount of mech debris and corpses of the swarm blocked out the sun and it aws literal but think of this if that was the problem then they would just need to use the remaining iron cavalry to fix the situation but it turned out that it meant a more sinister tone something along the lines of the council of Glamoth that started the project of the Empress Titania and the iron cavalry got drunk on power and used it for their selfish and heinous desires. The text 'the Iron Cavalry gave their all for the non-existent "empire." ' what i thought was what it meant by non'existent empire it meant that it either wasn't an empire but a tyrant dictattorship or that there weren't that many people in Glamoth as majority of them were turned into the iron cavalry to fight the swarm that it couldn't even be called an empire an empire with no citizens or no population is not even an empire at that point but that by itself can't confirm that the council did that or if it actually happened but taking into consideration what i just said and read this text 'the civilization known as Glamoth faded away, and the long-awaited peace came to the empty stars. The long river of stardust and debris flows silently along the void.'. For those who don't know the last text presented is similar to what is said in what is said in the Sprightly Vonwacq planet ornament i won't mention much detail so those who don't want to be spoiled avoid reading in the end there was no more humans that inhabited the planet of Vonwacq anymore they destroyed themselves in a civil war but the text that is reminiscent of the one i mention earlier related to the peace of Glamoth as written above is similar to this text from the Vonwacq planet ornament 'With humans and Wacqwacq gone from its center stage, Vonwacq had finally reclaimed peace and completed its ecological restoration.'. The peace mention in both the planet ornaments Glamoth and Vonwacq both use the term peace only when there are no humans anymore which could mean that the population of Glamoth was gone and we have information in game of the aftermath and how the Glamoth Empire was destroyed more on that later since there is much to be told about how this relates to the true best girl Firefly!!!!.Why I think Firefly was the Empress Titania there are many points below:
The Demise of The Glamoth Empire and Firefly's revolt originThe following information relates to Firefly but its purely speculation as it addresses what happened to Firefly and the destruction of Glamoth and why she was the only survivor. Firefly despite being the so called Empress in the planet ornament it is put in quotes to highlight the fact that its in name only in reality she was held captive against her will to control the iron cavalry despite her protest I came to this conclusion from this text 'the day when scientists realized that the Empress was beginning to revolt against her captivity'. Going on the fact that the iron cavalry is humans who were altered either genetically or mechanically or some other way into the iron cavalry and when the swarm threat was gone ('When the remnants of the Swarm no longer posed a threat and the leaders of the council rang the bell of peace') the council used it for nefarious means as the iron cavalry came from billion upon billion of the Glamoth Empire citizens and I speculate that Firefly revolted against the empire but eventually it was already too late as there are no more citizens of Glamoth anymore just turned into the iron cavalry to serve the council when Firefly realized this she destroyed The Glamoth Empire IN A SEA OF FLAMES i kid you not that may have actually happened even though its pure speculation there is evidence to support this as in the 2.0 trailblaze mission where we talk to Firefly in her secret base she mentions in her dreams she sees a scorched earth and a new sapling rising from it and it whispered to her it may be that since she doesn't want to disclose what happened to Glamoth she tries to be as vague as possible and this isn't the first time even though she couldn't reveal she was SAM that's not the other point I'm referring to I'm referring to the fact that when Firefly describes how her home planet was destroyed by either the legion or the swarm she could either be forget how it happened as she knows she fought the swarm but doesn't know how Glamoth was destroyed or she doesn't tell the trailblazer for risk of knowing the history of it.Alternate Firefly TheoryThe main theory you have already read is what I initially thought but looking back I had a more reasonable one the reason why I thought it to be more reasonable was when I was analyzing everything related to Firefly I was listenting to the song If I can stop one heart from breaking and just made me so emotionalThe alternate theroy is not much different from my first theory other than the fact that instead of the Firefly being Titania she was the iron cavalry the iron cavalry were all just humans that look like firefly but was alterted to be able to pilot mechs unlike the dark first one where their bodies were disfigured. Firefly was a iron cavalry pilot named herself after the mech she used back before the Glamoth Empire was destroyed which makes more sense since she has more proficiency piloting SAM. When the council tried to force Titania(not Firefly) for their own selfish and cruel desires even after the swarm was defeated it could be that Titania as a show of gratitude made Firefly the only one disconnected from her as if she if Titania disconnected Firefly from Titania's control she won't be able to force Firefly to do the evil things the council is forcing her to do and as an act of mercy destroyed and fought against and killed each and every iron cavalry and eventually Titania herself to make them not suffer anymore and destroyed Glamoth IN A SEA OF FLAMES (i just love that line i can't help myself) since all the citizens were turned into the iron cavalry she fought against an unprecedented number of iron cavalry mechs more than a hundred billion (if this doesn't make sense refer to the the bits I mentioned above) and was the lone survivor of Glamoth. It can also explain why she can't dream as I mentioned above the iron cavalry receives commands from the Empress Titania in their dreams maybe (since this speculation is based on the fact that Firefly could have been a part of the iron cavalry) Firefly can only dream when connected to Titania and since Titania is now gone as a result of a mercy kill from Firefly or something else she can't dream anymore. If you reached the end tell me your thoughts about this this is all purely speculation based on bits of information from HSR and my own thoughts and theory's of what i think happened I don't think its right its just my thoughts as I put an alternate theory just as I was about to finish this post so thank you for reading. TLDR: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE THREE VIDOES OF FIREFLY THE ANIMATED SHORT, THE MYRIAD CELESTIA AND HER CHARACTER TRAILER WE FIREFLY MAINS BE EATING GOOD |

I wanted to talk about React JS, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, especially for single-page applications where a seamless user experience is paramount.
Why React?
- Declarative: React makes it easy to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to create complex UIs. This modularity promotes reusable code and easier maintenance.
- Virtual DOM: Instead of manipulating the browser's DOM (Document Object Model) directly, React creates a virtual DOM in memory, where it performs all the necessary changes before making the updates visible to the user. This approach improves performance and makes React particularly well-suited for dynamic applications where data changes frequently.
- JSX (JavaScript XML): JSX allows you to write HTML elements within your JavaScript code. It's essentially syntactic sugar for React.createElement() calls, making your code more readable and maintainable. javascript const element =
Hello, world!
; - Components: Think of a component as a piece of the UI, which can be a function or a class. Functional components are stateless, while class components can hold and manage state. javascript function Welcome(props) { return
Hello, {props.name}
; } - Props: Props are read-only attributes that are passed into a component to configure it. They facilitate the flow of data down the component tree. javascript
- State: State allows components to create and manage their own data. Unlike props, the state can change over time in response to user actions or network responses. ```javascript class Clock extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = {date: new Date()}; }
componentDidMount() { this.timerID = setInterval( () => this.tick(), 1000 ); }
componentWillUnmount() { clearInterval(this.timerID); }
tick() { this.setState({ date: new Date() }); }
render() { return (); } } ```Hello, world!
It is {this.state.date.toLocaleTimeString()}.
- Hooks: Released in version 16.8, hooks allow you to use state and other React features without writing a class. Hooks like useState, useEffect, and useContext provide powerful capabilities to functional components. ```javascript import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => { document.title = You clicked ${count} times; }, [count]);
return (You clicked {count} times); } ```
- Context API: Manage global state easily by providing data through a component tree without passing it down manually at every level. Ideal for theme, authentication, or any global state. ```javascript const ThemeContext = React.createContext('light');
function App() { return (

2024.06.07 20:47 GoAheadMMDay Warnings of 911 in Back To The Future
 | Marty brings his hands to his mouth and shouts out loud, “I have to tell you about the future!” submitted by GoAheadMMDay to conspiracy_posts [link] [comments] The creators of Back To The Future said the same thing. \"I have to tell you about the future!\" It was known The destruction of New York's Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 was not a surprise attack. The plan for 911 was known two decades before, as far back as the early 1980's. Details of 911 appear in the blockbuster trilogy “Back To The Future”, the first of which was released in 1985. I first learned that Back To The Future contained warnings of 911 from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPJQ-1Y8jfY. In this post, I expand on the examples presented in that video, providing additional supporting arguments of my own. I include a few more 911 warnings I spotted myself. So come along and enjoy this ride, as we rupture the space-time continuum and create a paradox of our own. Terrorist attack at Twin Pines Mall Pics 1 & 2 In the first Back To The Future movie, a terrorist attack (pic 1) takes place at the Twin Pines Mall (pic 2). This is a warning of a future terrorist attack on the Twin Towers on 911. “Pines” represent the towers. “Twin” is… well… just plain obvious. A terrorist attack at Twin Pines Mall - filmed 1985. A terrorist attack at Twin Towers - happened 2001. The numbers Pics 3 & 4 When Marty first arrives at the mall, the clock reads 1:16, which is 911 upside down (pic 3). When Doc shows Marty two synchronized watches, the time is 1:19, which is 911 backwards (pic 4). 911 once; 911 twice. If you don’t like having to turn the mall clock upside down or flip the watches backwards, don’t worry. There is an even clearer reference to the numbers 911 later on - in their proper order. Lone Pine Mall Pics 5 & 6 When Marty returns to the mall at the end of the first movie, Twin Pines Mall (pic 5) becomes Lone Pine Mall (pic 6). You probably already see how this foretells 911. Let’s break it down. Pics 7 & 8 The site where the mall stands used to be owned by Old Man Peabody, who had two cherished pine trees (pic 7). When the mall was built, both pine trees were still on the property, and so the mall was named Twin Pines Mall. When Marty travels back in time, he travels from the mall directly to Peabody’s land. Same spot, just different time period. While trying to escape, Marty knocks down one of Peabody’s two pine trees (pic 8). Thus, two pines become a lone pine after they were crashed into. Pics 9 & 10 This foreshadows the aftermath of 911, when the Twin Towers (pic 9) were replaced by a lone tower (pic 10) after they were crashed into. What is more, the replacement tower is named One World Trade Center. “Lone” vs “One” – even the name is a near-perfect match. Even the name! Looks like an airplane Pics 11 & 12 When Peabody and his family first see the car (pic 11), Peabody describes it as “an airplane without wings”. Later, the car was modified to fly (pic 12). Add these details together and what do we have? A car described as a plane, which later flies, that crashes into a tree symbolizing one of New York’s Twin Towers – precisely what happened years later on 911 (pics 13-14). Pics 13 & 14 Towers on fire After the Twin Towers were struck on 911, they began burning. The makers of Back To The Future anticipated this and depicted it. Pics 15 & 16 Near the end of the first movie, as the DeLorean takes Marty back to his time, the car’s tires leave two twin tracks on the road (pic 15). The twin tracks are on fire, an unmistakable depiction of the Twin Towers burning. Doc then runs between the burning twin tracks, shrieking loudly (pic 16). As he runs from the top of the tracks to the bottom, he looks and sounds like people falling off a building - a haunting foreshadowing of 911. Pic 17 Yet the burning twin tracks represent more than just the Twin Towers on fire. As the camera pulls out, a store sign in the shape of the number 9 comes into view on the left (pic 17). The sign and burning twin tracks together form an undeniable 911. Notice that the placement of this store sign is perfect for indicating 911. It is not at the end of the street at the top of the twin tracks, nor is it to the right, but is perfectly placed to the left of the burning 11. Notice too that the sign could have been a 3, or a 5, or a 7, or a J, or an S, and would still have served its function of pointing to the store. But it was none of those shapes. It was a 9. And the camera pulls out enough to capture the whole 9 perfectly. Where the earlier examples of the mall sign and watches might be too much of a stretch to suggest 911, this 911 at the plaza leaves no room for denial. The falling towers On 911, after the Twin Towers had burned for a time, they ultimately fell. So too in the Back To The Future movies. The first movie ended with the Twin Towers on fire. In the second movie, we see the Twin Towers falling. Pics 18 & 19 Jennifer is on the sofa in her future home (pic 18). She looks up in astonishment. Through her look, the movie is telling us… “Pay attention to this. This is shocking.” What is Jennifer looking at that shocks her so? She is looking at the TV. She then exclaims, “I’m in the future!” (Pic 19). With this, they have taken us to the future - to 911. And this is what we see… Pics 20 - 23 A moment later in this scene, we see two pine trees projected on the TV screen (pic 20). When Lorraine clicks the remote, the pine trees are replaced by New York’s Twin Towers (pic 21). This confirms our understanding that the pine trees really do represent New York’s Twin Towers. The TV then glitches and scrolls upward (pic 22). As the frames scroll up, the towers appear to be rising. But notice that one of the characters is upside down. Since he is the closest character to the audience, the movie is telling us to look at the TV from his perspective. And what does he see? As the TV frames scroll up, he sees the towers falling down (pic 23). He sees New York’s Twin Towers falling down. Pic 24 All three characters are looking at the Twin Towers on TV (pic 24), just like millions of people were viewing the actual towers on their TV’s on 911. Lorraine points directly at the towers. But notice the torch of the Statue of Liberty at the bottom of the shot. Why is the torch of the Statue of Liberty in this shot? To create the impression of being in New York City; that the characters in this scene are people in New York looking at and pointing to the Twin Towers on 911. Talk about pointing something out! This is as pointed as it can get. 911 was staged Yet the creators of Back To The Future might be telling us one thing more about this future terrorist attack. They might be telling us it is not a real terrorist attack at all. It might be a staged, agency operation. Pics 25 - 27 In all three movies, as the DeLorean passes through the time barrier, it is racing toward things related to cinema... ie: the stage. The first time the car breaks the time barrier, it is racing toward a film booth (pic 25). The second time, it is racing toward a movie theater (pic 26). In the third movie, the DeLorean breaks the time barrier while racing toward a drive-in movie screen (pic 27). Though the Twin Towers really were tragically brought down, the creators of Back To The Future may have been telling us that the circumstances behind the disaster were - like in cinema - not what they appear to be. (For more on the possibility that 911 was a staged pretext for war, see my other post: https://www.reddit.com/conspiracy/comments/1aghwh3/we\_are\_being\_led\_into\_world\_war\_3/). Whether 911 was staged or not, the big question here is… Where did the creators of Back To The Future get this information? How did they know about 911 twenty years in advance? Fortunately for us, they put that in the movie too. Message received Pics 28 & 29 Marty received knowledge of a specific event (pic 28). What event? A tower being struck (pic 29). The message came with an urgent plea… save the tower. In the real world, a group of people learned that New York’s Twin Towers would be struck. They wanted to save the towers. Message delivered Pics 30 - 33 Marty asked Doc for his help getting back home, and delivered the message of a tower being struck (pic 30). In the real world, the people who learned about 911 delivered their message of the Twin Towers being struck to Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (pic 31), asking for their help in getting the warning out. Rob and Bob suggested making a movie about it (pic 32), to get their message out through cinema – which was worked into the movies by Doc instructing Marty to go through the movie screen (pic 33). The message The warning of 911 is woven throughout the movies, along with an urgent plea to avoid the disaster. Pic 34 Marty writes in a letter to Doc: “Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster.” (Pic 34) Notice the letter was made fully visible in the movie. This is the message the creators of Back To The Future wanted to announce. Notice too they used the word “disaster”. While the shooting of a man (Doc) is indeed terrible, referring to it as a disaster is a little on the strong side. In using the word “disaster”, the creators were really referring to 911, which could truly be called a disaster. The even spelled the word "Disaster" with a capital "D", even though it isn't at the beginning of a sentence. Also note the word “please” is underlined. The creators were imploring. The source of the message But where did the people behind Back To The Future get their knowledge of 911? The people who contacted Rob and Bob with knowledge that the Twin Towers would be struck... Where did they get that information? As with everything else, this too was worked into the movie… The woman in the plaza (pic 35). Pics 35 & 36 She is the one who gave Marty the flyer about the tower (pic 36). She is the source of that knowledge. She knows every detail about the tower, including how and when it was struck. She also gives Marty the urgent instruction to save the tower. Pics 37 - 39 The woman is positioned directly beneath a store sign that reads “The Third Eye” (pic 37). An eye inside a pyramid is used instead of the word “eye”. This symbol is called the “all seeing eye”, and it lines-up perfectly with the woman’s forehead. This shot replicates mysticism iconography (pic 38), where the third eye is depicted on the forehead as a symbol of enlightenment. The all-seeing-eye symbol is also used in Freemason iconography (pic 39). Add these details together and what do we have? Marty learned of the destruction of the clock tower from a woman depicted with her forehead directly beneath the all-seeing-eye of the Freemasons. With this shot, the creators of Back To The Future are telling us they learned about the destruction of the Twin Towers from Freemasons. 911 was approved Pics 40 & 41 Another link to the Freemasons is shown on the clock at Lone Pine Mall (pic 40). When Marty returns to the mall at the end of the first movie, the clock reads 1:33. 33 is a special number in Freemasonry (pic 41). The number 3 represents completeness, such as the 3 dimensions of the physical universe. It also denotes stability, since 3 is the minimum number of legs a table needs to remain upright. Doubling the number 3 as in 33 signifies achieving a complete and stable degree of enlightenment, which is why 33 is the highest level of membership in Freemasonry. By placing the number 33 together with Lone Pine Mall, the creators of Back To The Future are telling us that 911 has Freemasons behind it, approved by those at the highest level. Why so cryptic? But why present this information about 911 in such a cryptic way, with so much symbolism? If they wanted to warn us about 911, why not just come out and tell us plainly and clearly? To be frank, I don’t know why. All we can do is speculate. Perhaps they were under oath. The people trying to sound the warning about 911 were likely Masons who did not agree with other Masons concerning 911. Coming out and publicly denouncing the plans of their own fraternity would have landed them in serious trouble. Another possibility is that while the date of 911 was known so long in advance, the year was not. Consider what came immediately after 911. 911 opened the door to US invasions overseas. 911 could not be launched until the US was ready for such operations in foreign lands. The country needed to be prepared politically, economically, and militarily. Only then would the year for 911 be chosen. So even though the plan for 911 was known as far back as the early 1980’s, not knowing the year was problematic. What could anyone do about it? Ground all flights on September 11 of every single year for decades? No one would take such a warning seriously, nor would authorities take such precautions. Yet another possibility is to prepare people and society for planned changes, guiding people into becoming more accepting of them. "Predictive Programming", as it has come to be called, is the "theory that the government or other higher-ups are using fictional movies or books as a ... tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events." - https://u.osu.edu/vanzandt/2018/04/18/predictive-programming Still another possibility is simply to clear their conscience. If the ones planning the disaster make their plans known ahead of time, they believe they will escape its moral and spiritual consequences, leaving them free of guilt. This is similar to a country announcing a planned attack on a city or facility through television, radio, and dropping leaflets from planes. They warn people of their planned attack, indicating its precise location, date and time, in order to escape culpability for any loss of life that may result. The idea is: "We warned you. If you are injured or killed, it is your fault, not ours." As unbelievable as it sounds, such twisted reasoning is used by governments and militaries to this day. One final possibility I can think of is that the creators of the Back To The Future movies realized they would not be able to stop the 911 disaster, and produced the movies for posterity’s sake. They wanted people to know the truth - that it was not a surprise attack, but was a planned operation approved long in advance by people connected to powerful organizations. They wanted people to know… it was known.

2024.06.07 20:46 jollyranchermike File wage and hour division complaint or file lawsuit for unpaid wages?
Basically I was just informed if I file a complaint with wage/hour division MI I won’t be able to take any other legal action. I need to choose one or the other. I’m not sure who/what would be the most beneficial for me. My old employer never paid me for the hours worker, I have pictures of my clock in/out and paystubs that don’t match up as proof. This went on for months a couple hours here a couple there and mh last couple weeks before being let go two weeks in a row over half of my hours were missing from my check. After he already cut mh shifts down to 1/4nof my normal shifts and did all he could to make things harder on me. He lied while writing me up multiple times, he made working there a horrible experience all around making rules for only me that no one else had to follow. And also rules would contradict each other making things even more difficult for me. I wish I could sue him for discrimination or pain and suffering along with him stealing from me I have some proof for those claims too and 100% proof for unpaid wages though. Sorry for rambling, but any advice on which route I should take

Yep, its that topic again.
My hair has grown out to the point that, the one PE teacher every school has, told me to cut it before Monday. And the thing is...I don't want to. And I won't. Amd I plan on straight up stating it if they pressure me more. I'm probably gonna have to visit the principal/administrator. My school does value students' freedom quite a bit as so i've noticed compared to other CBSE schools nearby. And each and every staff present speeches on the usual 'we do not just educate but create functional members of society' blah blah blah stuff.. But when it comes to irrelevent stuff like this, they're close minded asf. I plan on presenting my arguement of how stupid and outdated this whole hair length rule is. Heck they keep talking about being confident and being able to stand out but then force us to all follow military rules which is unapplicable to a school. Like bruh...how do you expect me to be confident when you are forcing me to make my hair in a way it makes me feel ugly asf and ruins my confidence for the next few months. I don't see anything wrong with my point if I actually argue about it in a respectful manner. Like every single misconception about hairstyle is baseless..be it uniformity,discipline,whatever..
Is there any point I am missing for what would justify this rule or make sense of it?? I cant see one.
High chances that they'll be ignorant and just say its a must and a school rule(rule without any reasonable justification that is), i'll lose any respect I have left for the school and would probably straight up call them out for their hypocrisy, possibly at the risk of being black listed.
Good Night.

2024.06.07 20:45 UltimateChaos233 I have a minmaxer at my table, how do I deal with them?
Hey gang,
I have a HUGE problem player at my table. They are a minmaxer. I am so terrified of everything they do. When they say "I cast.." I start sweating and shitting myself. It keeps me up at night, they are bullying me and taking away MY player agency (DMs are players sometimes, but not all the time, try to understand).
How do you deal with players who read the rulebook that all other players have to abide by, then learn the mechanics and use them to their advantage? Every time I create a villain or a problem they just SOLVE it. When I try to tell them their spell/skill won't work, they say something like "You're the DM so I'll abide by your ruling, but can you help me understand why misty step wouldn't let me teleport in this situation?" It's because I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT MISSED STEEP and thought he couldn't get out of the jail cell! How do I write a novel and force players through it when they have abilities that can let them have an impact on the world?
I can't deal with this terrible player. How do I manage to kill them? I need to make it look like a suicide, does anyone have any tips?

Heck they keep talking about being confident and being able to stand out but then force us to all follow military rules which is unapplicable to a school. Like bruh...how do you expect me to be confident when you are forcing me to make my hair in a way it makes me feel ugly asf and ruins my confidence for the next few months. I don't see anything wrong with my point if I actually argue about it in a respectful manner. Like every single misconception about hairstyle is baseless..be it uniformity,discipline,whatever..
Is there any point I am missing for what would justify this rule or make sense of it?? I cant see one.
High chances that they'll be ignorant and just say its a must and a school rule(rule without any reasonable justification that is), i'll lose any respect I have left for the school and would probably straight up call them out for their hypocrisy, possibly at the risk of being black listed.
Good Night.
2024.06.07 20:44 Abelardthebard [OC] Nyrheim: Then & Now, or How I Handle History in my Homebrew
Hey y'all! Lately I've been working on the 'History' section of my lore book for The Duchy of Nyrheim, and I came up with a method I really like and thought I'd share for anyone who is homebrewing their own setting.
I got the idea while reading some Marvel comics -- I've been collecting the best runs of the 2000s (happy to take recs) and noticed something interesting. When dealing with a story that has roots in Marvel's past (or even if they are writing those past events for the story at hand), they will often start with a flashback simply titled "Then" before shifting to a scene in the present titled "Now". I haven't to imagine that part of why they do this is the sliding time scale. But something about the simplicity of it all really spoke to me.
When writing the history of the region, I wanted a way to separate the events that have happened long ago from those whose impacts are being felt strongly in the present. These terms have helped me get there. I'm a little generous with the term "now..." which I use to cover the past 400 years or so, you can obviously set whatever threshold you like. But you can use this to set up some pretty exciting stories -- Then: Isildur killed Sauron, Now: It's Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday. It also maybe characterizes what may inform what are the ruins, treasures, or dungeons of your setting and what are the everyday societies and cultures found in the urban environments.
One last thing I'll add, I always include how many years ago something was and not just the date. If you are making your own timeline, the dates may just look like vague numbers to readers/players. By telling them how long ago something was, it puts it in relative terms they are more ready to understand. You can even use this method and be pretty vague about dates if you aren't ready to lock a timeline hard in stone. One version I had prior to this just used headings like "About 400 years ago", but I'd never break it down in increments less than 100s of years.
Here's what I've got right now for my setting, happy to expand on any information or answer any questions in the comments below! What would be the highlights of the Then & Now of your settings?
FALL OF THE FEY
Over 2,600 Years Ago (100s BCE)... For thousands of years, Elyndel's northwestern lands (then called Faen'tir) were dominated by elven tribes with other fey and kobolds scattered throughout the region. Though most of their conflict was with unseelie, giants, and humans, there was also scarce political unity between the elves. The Old Antum Empire, however, emerged from a collection of human tribes in the south. At the dawn of thew millenium, the Emperor's legions attacked with iron and fire against the might and magic of the fey. This conflict, known at "The Feywars" forever tipped the scales of power in Elyndel.
RISE OF RAYONNÉ
Over 2,300 Years Ago (200s CE)... Rayonné, was founded under the influence of the Antum Empire and quickly became a crucial trade hub. Strategically located on an island within a major river, Rayonné's natural defenses and prime location facilitated its rapid growth, even though it wouldn't even become the capital of Floren for over 2,000 years. The Antum Empire invested heavily in the city's infrastructure, constructing grand structures such as an amphitheater, public baths, and majestic temples. They also encouraged migration to the new city by offering incentives such as land grants and tax breaks to new freemasons.
SINKING OF MYR
Over 2,000 Years Ago (500s CE)... To escape political strife and external threats, many elves of Westernor began to emigrate to Brynthal. They brought with them a revival of their fey culture and arcane wisdom, establishing a thriving community in the region. Off the coast they built Myr, a magnificent island city built protected by enchanted barriers. However a warlock's dark pact led to the city's destruction, sinking Myr and its inhabitants into the abyss. The islands ruins, now a haunting legend, lure adventurers seeking its lost treasures and secrets.
SHADOWS IN THE WEST
Over 1,700 Years Ago (800s CE)... After ravaging eastern and central Elyndel, Grotar the "Scourge of Orcus" turned his focus westward. General Gaius Tullarix of Old Antum was tasked with defending the region against the invading Shadow Horde and its ogre warlord. Recognizing the threat, General Tullarix rallied a broad coalition of various tribes in the Empire to confront the invaders. They clashed near Véreluce in northeastern Floren, fighting fiercely for hours without yielding. However, faced with staunch resistance and severe casualties, the Shadow Horde retreated, forcing Grotar to forgo his aspirations of conquests in the west.
OUT OF THE EMPIRE
Over 1,400 Years Ago (1100s CE)... After the collapse of Old Antum, the region fell into chaos. Afterward, humans of the Floren tribe moved in from the east. The Fontainian family, under the leadership of King Tharic, united the disparate tribes and transformed the region into the formidable Floren kingdom. Following Thalric's death, the Fontainain dynasty faced internal strife and political fragmentation, as his successors struggled to maintain the unity he had forged. This period saw a kaleidoscope of petty kingdoms, each vying for power and influence. But despite these challenges, the Fontainians managed to preserve their hegemony for centuries.
UNDYING ALLEGIENCE
Over 1,100 Years Ago (1400s CE)... King Calixte I's death divided Floren again: Prince Calixte II inherited the north and Princess Sera the south. When Calixte II slew the dragon Jarghul, he drew the interest of a valkyrie who had come for the fallen. The while, Sera was murdered by her power-hungry husband. Seeking vengeance, Calixte II turned to necromancy, creating an army where fallen foes would serve him in death. The valkyrie, now known as The Wild Hunt, gifted him a spark of her power, and just when they seized the south, the gods imprisoned her for oath breaking. Calixte II was later killed by agents of his brother-in-law's mistress.
DIVINITY AND DYNSATY
Over 800 Years Ago (1700s CE)... The Loralian Dynasty in Floren has roots tracing back to Gaston Loralian I, a chief household officer to the Fontainian kings. The family gradually gained power as the royal family's influence waned (they were derogatorily dubbed as "do-nothing kings"). The critical shift occurred when Gaston III, with the support of the Pontifex, deposed the last Fontainian king. The church then crowned him as the king of Floren, establishing a precedent the divine right of kings, a principle that would heavily influence Elyndean politics thereafter. This coronation also ensured protection for the emergent Sacral-Antum Empire against invasions.
THE NORTHERN RAIDERS
Over 500 Years Ago (2000s CE)... At the turn of the millennium, dwarves of the north begin a campaign of large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest, and trading along the northern shores of mainland Elyndel. To counter the raids, the Floren King Etienne I ceded the Cormorin Peninsula to the neighboring elven duchy of Brynthal in exchange for military aid. However, the elven magics faltered, and the dwarven berserkers further entrenched themselves as a new, formidable power in the region. Within a century, the raids shifted from a seasonal occurrence to a constant stream.
A DWARVEN DUCHY
410 Years Ago (2177 CE)... During the height of the dwarven raids, an ambitious dwarf named Rolf led a fleet into the heart of the Floren Kingdom. After a brutal but costly assault, Rolf attempted to flee from the Floren cavalry, but was unable to board his ships. Instead, he formed a defensive wall by slaughtering his army's livestock. The enemy charge halted as their horses were terrified by the sight and stench. Stuck in a stalemate, the Florens decided to negotiate with the dwarves. In exchange for peace, the King Etienne III ceded the lands from Roann to the north coast. Rolf was crowned as the duke and given the name “Lionheart” for his bravery.
THE QUEEN'S CAPTIVE
232 Years Ago (2355 CE)... After Duke Rolf's death, the Floren Queen Aveline II betrayed her predecessor's pact with the dwarves by confining Rolf's daughter, Eyma, in Rayonné and seizing the duchy's lands. This sparked a revolt among her supporters, who stormed Aveline's palace and demanded her freedom. Eventually Aveline, claiming she was teaching her courtly manners, reluctantly released her. A decade later, Eyma and her allies defeated Queen Aveline in battle. She held her hostage until she recognized her as Duchess of Nyrheim, restoring her rule over the duchy.
TREASURE AND TREACHERY
109 Years Ago (2478 CE)... Dwarven raids on Alwyndon resumed, with raiders crossing the northern channel to Nyrheim where they sold their plunder. Duchess Eyma, defying a treaty her father Duke Rolf had signed with High King Brady of Alwyndon, secretly provided sanctuary to these raiders. This breach of agreement provoked an Alwyndan military response. King Brady ordered an attack on the Cormorin Peninsula, demanding Eyma's capture and extradition. However, the Alwyndan forces were unprepared for the swift and fierce counterattack by the Nyrman cavalry, resulting in their complete and utter defeat.
A SUDDEN DEATH
88 Years Ago (2499 CE)... When Duchess Eyma died, her daughter Ylvana took power and immediately implemented harsh reforms to solidify her authority, cloaked as measures to strengthen the duchy. Appalled by her tyranny, her brother Harek attempted a rebellion but failed. Ylvana captured him and in a show of "mercy", publicly amputated his left hand before forcing him to reaffirm his loyalty. Soon after returning to Roann, Ylvana met a mysterious sudden death, rumored to be from poisoning — suspicions fell on disgruntled nobles, her advisors, or even Harek. Ultimately viewed as a martyr, Harek ascended to the ducal throne, stabilizing the region.
FLIGHT FROM ALWYNDON
62 Years Ago (2525 CE)... Duke Harek orchestrated a major trade pact with Alwyndon, marrying his sister Marnyl to the King Adalwulf of Kelden. Out of these new bonds, the Maritime Freight Guild was born, which proved its worth a decade later when Sven "Stormcloak" and his forces invaded Kelden. As the situation deteriorated, Queen Marnyl and her family escaped on the last trade ships out of the country. In Nyrheim, they remained under Duke Harek's protection. When the King eventually passed, Marnyl was stationed as the Countess of Roann. There, she raised her sons in a noble court and prepared them for leadership.
THE DUKE'S BASTARD
34 Years Ago (2548 CE)... During one of his sojourns, Duke Harek was ensnared in a passionate affair. Though fleeting, the liaison bore fruit in the form of an illegitimate son—Waldron. The identity of his mother has been the subject of much speculation, but her identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, Waldron grew up amidst speculative whispers and the weight of expectation. The duke's court, a place where honor and lineage are held in the highest regard, viewed him with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. Yet, Duke Harek, with a defiance that had characterized his reign, acknowledged Waldron as his son and sole heir.
ERRS IN SUCCESSION
17 Years Ago (2570 CE)... In Floren, Prince Etienne V joined forces with his younger brother Adnot and their mother in a revolt against his father, the reigning king. However, following the king's demise, Queen Urilla shifted her support to Adnot as the rightful heir, leaving Etienne V to contend with his rebel sibling and a divided kingdom. Seeking support, Etienne turned to Nyrheim and found an ally in Duke Harek. Grateful for the duke's aid during this turbulent period, the newly established King Etienne V rewarded Harek with the counties of Martovia and Vinmoria, strengthening the bonds between Nyrheim and the Floren crown.
PRINCES OF THE PENTARCHY
This Year (2587 CE)... With the full might of his navy, Duke Harek launched an invasion of Kelden, aiming to restore the now elderly princes to their throne. Tragically, Prince Adalwulf II was captured by an earl in his kingdom. In a cruel act intended to disqualify him from kingship, Finnian brutally blinded him with red-hot pokers -- the prince later died from his grievous injuries. In the wake of this tragedy, Prince Edmund, rallied the thegns of Alwyndon and defeated Sven Stormcloak's forces with the crucial support of Duke Harek. Their victory led to the the reestablishment of the five kingdoms under the Alwyndan Pentarchy.

As the Age of Enlightenment dawned, the dwarves of settling in Nyrheim navigated the tides of Floren politics, forging alliances and asserting their influence across the north.

2024.06.07 20:38 Abelardthebard Nyrheim: Then & Now, or How I Handle History
Hello worldbuilders!
Lately I've been working on the 'History' section of my lore book for The Duchy of Nyrheim, and I came up with a method I really like and thought I'd share it with you. I got the idea while reading some Marvel comics -- I've been collecting the best runs of the 2000s (happy to take recs) and noticed something interesting. When dealing with a story that has roots in Marvel's past (or even if they are writing those past events for the story at hand), they will often start with a flashback simply titled "Then" before shifting to a scene in the present titled "Now". I haven't to imagine that part of why they do this is the sliding time scale. But something about the simplicity of it all really spoke to me.
When writing the history of the region, I wanted a way to separate the events that have happened long ago from those whose impacts are being felt strongly in the present. These terms have helped me get there. I'm a little generous with the term "now..." which I use to cover the past 400 years or so, you can obviously set whatever threshold you like. But you can use this to set up some pretty exciting stories -- Then: Isildur killed Sauron, Now: It's Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday. It also maybe characterizes what may inform what are the ruins, treasures, or dungeons of your setting and what are the everyday societies and cultures found in the urban environments.
One last thing I'll add, I always include how many years ago something was and not just the date. If you are making your own timeline, the dates may just look like vague numbers to readers/players. By telling them how long ago something was, it puts it in relative terms they are more ready to understand. You can even use this method and be pretty vague about dates if you aren't ready to lock a timeline hard in stone. One version I had prior to this just used headings like "About 400 years ago", but I'd never break it down in increments less than 100s of years.
Here's what I've got right now for my setting, happy to expand on any information or answer any questions in the comments below! What would be the highlights of the Then & Now of your settings?

RISE OF RAYONNÉ
Over 2,300 Years Ago (200s CE)... Rayonné, was founded under the influence of the Antum Empire and quickly became a crucial trade hub. Strategically located on an island within a major river, Rayonné's natural defenses and prime location facilitated its rapid growth, even though it wouldn't even become the capital of Floren for over 2,000 years. The Antum Empire invested heavily in the city's infrastructure, constructing grand structures such as an amphitheater, public baths, and majestic temples. They also encouraged migration to the new city by offering incentives such as land grants and tax breaks to new freemasons.

To counter the raids, the Floren King Etienne I ceded the Cormorin Peninsula to the neighboring elven duchy of Brynthal in exchange for military aid. However, the elven magics faltered, and the dwarven berserkers further entrenched themselves as a new, formidable power in the region. Within a century, the raids shifted from a seasonal occurrence to a constant stream.
A DWARVEN DUCHY
410 Years Ago (2177 CE)... During the height of the dwarven raids, an ambitious dwarf named Rolf led a fleet into the heart of the Floren Kingdom. After a brutal but costly assault, Rolf attempted to flee from the Floren cavalry, but was unable to board his ships. Instead, he formed a defensive wall by slaughtering his army's livestock. The enemy charge halted as their horses were terrified by the sight and stench. Stuck in a stalemate, the Florens decided to negotiate with the dwarves. In exchange for peace, the King Etienne III ceded the lands from Roann to the north coast. Rolf was crowned as the duke and given the name “Lionheart” for his bravery.
THE QUEEN'S CAPTIVE
232 Years Ago (2355 CE)... After Duke Rolf's death, the Floren Queen Aveline II betrayed her predecessor's pact with the dwarves by confining Rolf's daughter, Eyma, in Rayonné and seizing the duchy's lands. This sparked a revolt among her supporters, who stormed Aveline's palace and demanded her freedom. Eventually Aveline, claiming she was teaching her courtly manners, reluctantly released her. A decade later, Eyma and her allies defeated Queen Aveline in battle. She held her hostage until she recognized her as Duchess of Nyrheim, restoring her rule over the duchy.
TREASURE AND TREACHERY
109 Years Ago (2478 CE)... Dwarven raids on Alwyndon resumed, with raiders crossing the northern channel to Nyrheim where they sold their plunder. Duchess Eyma, defying a treaty her father Duke Rolf had signed with High King Brady of Alwyndon, secretly provided sanctuary to these raiders. This breach of agreement provoked an Alwyndan military response. King Brady ordered an attack on the Cormorin Peninsula, demanding Eyma's capture and extradition. However, the Alwyndan forces were unprepared for the swift and fierce counterattack by the Nyrman cavalry, resulting in their complete and utter defeat.
A SUDDEN DEATH
88 Years Ago (2499 CE)... When Duchess Eyma died, her daughter Ylvana took power and immediately implemented harsh reforms to solidify her authority, cloaked as measures to strengthen the duchy. Appalled by her tyranny, her younger brother Harek attempted a rebellion but failed. Ylvana captured him and in a show of "mercy", publicly amputated his left hand before forcing him to reaffirm his loyalty. Soon after returning to Roann, Ylvana met a mysterious sudden death, rumored to be from poisoning — suspicions fell on disgruntled nobles, her advisors, or even Harek. Ultimately viewed as a martyr, Harek ascended to the ducal throne, stabilizing the region.
FLIGHT FROM ALWYNDON
62 Years Ago (2525 CE)... Duke Harek orchestrated a major trade pact with Alwyndon, marrying his younger sister Marnyl to the King Adalwulf of Kelden. Out of these new bonds, the Maritime Freight Guild was born, which proved its worth a decade later when Sven "Stormcloak" and his forces invaded Kelden. As the situation deteriorated, Queen Marnyl and her family escaped on the last trade ships out of the country. In Nyrheim, they remained under Duke Harek's protection. When the King eventually passed, Marnyl was stationed as the Countess of Roann. There, she raised her sons in a noble court and prepared them for leadership.
THE DUKE'S BASTARD
34 Years Ago (2548 CE)... During one of his sojourns, Duke Harek was ensnared in a passionate affair. Though fleeting, the liaison bore fruit in the form of an illegitimate son—Waldron. The identity of his mother has been the subject of much speculation, but her identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, Waldron grew up amidst speculative whispers and the weight of expectation. The duke's court, a place where honor and lineage are held in the highest regard, viewed him with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. Yet, Duke Harek, with a defiance that had characterized his reign, acknowledged Waldron as his son and sole heir.
ERRS IN SUCCESSION
17 Years Ago (2570 CE)... In Floren, Prince Etienne V joined forces with his younger brother Adnot and their mother in a revolt against his father, the reigning king. However, following the king's demise, Queen Urilla shifted her support to Adnot as the rightful heir, leaving Etienne V to contend with his rebel sibling and a divided kingdom. Seeking support, Etienne turned to Nyrheim and found an ally in Duke Harek. Grateful for the duke's aid during this turbulent period, the newly established King Etienne V rewarded Harek with the counties of Martovia and Vinmoria, strengthening the bonds between Nyrheim and the Floren crown.
PRINCES OF THE PENTARCHY
This Year (2587 CE)... With the full might of his navy, Duke Harek launched an invasion of Kelden, aiming to restore the now elderly princes to their throne. Tragically, Prince Adalwulf II was captured by an earl in his kingdom. In a cruel act intended to disqualify him from kingship, Finnian brutally blinded him with red-hot pokers -- the prince later died from his grievous injuries. In the wake of this tragedy, Prince Edmund, rallied the thegns of Alwyndon and defeated Sven Stormcloak's forces with the crucial support of Duke Harek. Their victory led to the the reestablishment of the five kingdoms under the Alwyndan Pentarchy.

Lately I've been working on the 'History' section of my lore book for The Duchy of Nyrheim, and I came up with a method I really like and thought I'd share it with you. I got the idea while reading some Marvel comics -- I've been collecting the best runs of the 2000s (happy to take recs) and noticed something interesting. When dealing with a story that has roots in Marvel's past (or even if they are writing those past events for the story at hand), they will often start with a flashback simply titled "Then" before shifting to a scene in the present titled "Now". I haven't to imagine that part of why they do this is the sliding time scale. But something about the simplicity of it all really spoke to me.
When writing the history of the region, I wanted a way to separate the events that have happened long ago from those whose impacts are being felt strongly in the present. These terms have helped me get there. I'm a little generous with the term "now..." which I use to cover the past 400 years or so, you can obviously set whatever threshold you like. But you can use this to set up some pretty exciting stories -- Then: Isildur killed Sauron, Now: It's Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday. It also maybe characterizes what may inform what are the ruins, treasures, or dungeons of your setting and what are the everyday societies and cultures found in the urban environments.
One last thing I'll add, I always include how many years ago something was and not just the date. If you are making your own timeline, the dates may just look like vague numbers to readers/players. By telling them how long ago something was, it puts it in relative terms they are more ready to understand. You can even use this method and be pretty vague about dates if you aren't ready to lock a timeline hard in stone. One version I had prior to this just used headings like "About 400 years ago", but I'd never break it down in increments less than 100s of years.
Here's what I've got right now for my setting, happy to expand on any information or answer any questions in the comments below! What would be the highlights of the Then & Now of your settings?
Then...
Explore the origins of the region, from ancient fey dominions through epic conquests and the rule of Nyrheim's first dwarven dukes. This section covers events from The Dark Age that occurred across the lands that now make up the north of the Floren Kingdom.FALL OF THE FEY
Over 2,600 Years Ago (100s BCE)... For thousands of years, Elyndel's northwestern lands (then called Faen'tir) were dominated by elven tribes with other fey and kobolds scattered throughout the region. Though most of their conflict was with unseelie, giants, and humans, there was also scarce political unity between the elves. The Old Antum Empire, however, emerged from a collection of human tribes in the south. At the dawn of thew millenium, the Emperor's legions attacked with iron and fire against the might and magic of the fey. This conflict, known at "The Feywars" forever tipped the scales of power in Elyndel.
RISE OF RAYONNÉ
Over 2,300 Years Ago (200s CE)... Rayonné, was founded under the influence of the Antum Empire and quickly became a crucial trade hub. Strategically located on an island within a major river, Rayonné's natural defenses and prime location facilitated its rapid growth, even though it wouldn't even become the capital of Floren for over 2,000 years. The Antum Empire invested heavily in the city's infrastructure, constructing grand structures such as an amphitheater, public baths, and majestic temples. They also encouraged migration to the new city by offering incentives such as land grants and tax breaks to new freemasons.
SINKING OF MYR
Over 2,000 Years Ago (500s CE)... To escape political strife and external threats, many elves of Westernor began to emigrate to Brynthal. They brought with them a revival of their fey culture and arcane wisdom, establishing a thriving community in the region. Off the coast they built Myr, a magnificent island city built protected by enchanted barriers. However a warlock's dark pact led to the city's destruction, sinking Myr and its inhabitants into the abyss. The island's ruins, now a haunting legend of the deep, are a lure to adventurers seeking its lost treasures and secrets.
SHADOWS IN THE WEST
Over 1,700 Years Ago (800s CE)... After ravaging eastern and central Elyndel, Grotar the "Scourge of Orcus" turned his focus westward. General Gaius Tullarix of Old Antum was tasked with defending the region against the invading Shadow Horde and its ogre warlord. Recognizing the threat, General Tullarix rallied a broad coalition of various tribes in the Empire to confront the invaders. They clashed near Véreluce in northeastern Floren, fighting fiercely for hours without yielding. However, faced with staunch resistance and severe casualties, the Shadow Horde retreated, forcing Grotar to forgo his aspirations of conquests in the west.
OUT OF THE EMPIRE
Over 1,400 Years Ago (1100s CE)... After the collapse of Old Antum, the region fell into chaos. Afterward, humans of the Floren tribe moved in from the east. The Fontainian family, under the leadership of King Tharic, united the disparate tribes and transformed the region into the formidable Floren kingdom. Following Thalric's death, the Fontainain dynasty faced internal strife and political fragmentation, as his successors struggled to maintain the unity he had forged. This period saw a kaleidoscope of petty kingdoms, each vying for power and influence. But despite these challenges, the Fontainians managed to preserve their hegemony for centuries.
UNDYING ALLEGIENCE
Over 1,100 Years Ago (1400s CE)... King Calixte I's death divided Floren again: Prince Calixte II inherited the north and Princess Sera the south. When Calixte II slew the dragon Jarghul, he drew the interest of a valkyrie who had come for the fallen. The while, Sera was murdered by her power-hungry husband. Seeking vengeance, Calixte II turned to necromancy, creating an army where fallen foes would serve him in death. The valkyrie, now known as The Wild Hunt, gifted him a spark of her power, and just when they seized the south, the gods imprisoned her for oath breaking. Calixte II was later killed by agents of his brother-in-law's mistress.
DIVINITY AND DYNASTY
Over 800 Years Ago (1700s CE)... The Loralian Dynasty in Floren has roots tracing back to Gaston Loralian I, a chief household officer to the Fontainian kings. The family gradually gained power as the royal family's influence waned (they were derogatorily dubbed as "do-nothing kings"). The critical shift occurred when Gaston III, with the support of the Pontifex, deposed the last Fontainian king. The church then crowned him as the king of Floren, establishing a precedent the divine right of kings, a principle that would heavily influence Elyndean politics thereafter. This coronation also ensured protection for the emergent Sacral-Antum Empire against invasions.
THE NORTHERN RAIDERS
Over 500 Years Ago (2000s CE)... At the turn of the millennium, dwarves of the north begin a campaign of large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest, and trading along the northern shores of mainland Elyndel. To counter the raids, the Floren King Etienne I ceded the Cormorin Peninsula to the neighboring elven duchy of Brynthal in exchange for military aid. However, the elven magics faltered, and the dwarven berserkers further entrenched themselves as a new, formidable power in the region. Within a century, the raids shifted from a seasonal occurrence to a constant stream.
Now...
As the Age of Enlightenment dawned, the dwarves of settling in Nyrheim navigated the tides of Floren politics, forging alliances and asserting their influence across the north. The events that transpired during these transformative years have left an indelible mark on the region's history and people.A DWARVEN DUCHY
410 Years Ago (2177 CE)... During the height of the dwarven raids, an ambitious dwarf named Rolf led a fleet into the heart of the Floren Kingdom. After a brutal but costly assault, Rolf attempted to flee from the Floren cavalry, but was unable to board his ships. Instead, he formed a defensive wall by slaughtering his army's livestock. The enemy charge halted as their horses were terrified by the sight and stench. Stuck in a stalemate, the Florens decided to negotiate with the dwarves. In exchange for peace, the King Etienne III ceded the lands from Roann to the north coast. Rolf was crowned as the duke and given the name “Lionheart” for his bravery.

2024.06.07 20:35 Own_Stranger_2122 6th house
 | This is the 2nd upachaya house( 1st being the 3rd house) which represents our income and job. This is also a dusthana as it's 6th from the lagna. But its not all bad as people say it is because it's the 9th from the 10th house which makes it trine or trikone for the career and stuff. I'll write in details about how other houses have impact on their placements from other houses. But in short this house represents how we are going to tackle problem whatever planets are here will help us win over our enemies. That's why it's often said that malefic planets in 6th house work better because they'll directly attack the enemy but it's not true always. submitted by Own_Stranger_2122 to astrobull [link] [comments] 6th house is complex house because whatever sign or planets you have in this house is the reason people are jealous of you, If it's not afflicted. If afflicted you're jealous of others from those significations. 6th house is the natural house of virgo which is ruled by mercury which is naturally exalted in the 6th house housewise, which If afflicted gives tremendous questioning abilities and finding out things and having very high intelligence. There's another planet which is good in 6th house where it takes naturally debilitation is venus. A natural debilitated venus in the 6th house would give you all the worldly comforts and luxurious and riches world can't imagine. Venus gets debilitated in his friends sign so it's good if not afflicted. If you have venus and mercury in the 6th house you have an amazing neech bhang which will bless you throughout life. Ravana had mercury and venus in the 6th house. Even if he did all the wrongs he did, he was no doubt one of the best scholars and had a kingdom of gold which tells about his luxurious lifestyle. The Naturally karaka for 6th house is mars and rahu. They attack their enemies with furiousness but it's not charming. Like if you have good mars in your 6th house. Your enemies will be scared of your physical strength and arguing power. Similarly rahu is strong in virgo which is gives enemies unknown fears and illusion. 6th house is the significator of jobs and accounting related jobs. If you have strong 6th house or mercury you can be a business man or a CA depending on other placements. 6th house represents debt, diseases too. But it's rarely seen that it really gives diseases to the people and about debt. People of 21st century most of them have debts so it's nothing to worry about. Apple and amazon have debt so it's how you use it to your advantage rather panicking about it. 6th house represents challenges. It represents intestines too. |
2024.06.07 20:34 BasicallyClean The Absolutely Bizarre Scorecards of MMA Judge Dave Tirelli - Part 2.
So picture this:
It's Saturday. I was watching UFC 302 but I missed Lima vs. Raposo live.
I'm coming back home after procuring an alcoholic beverage. I lay my phone down as I'm carrying the beverage, and the phone dings.
One of you ratfucks sends me a message. No context, no photo, I have no idea what's going on.
The message read: "Bah gawd that's Dave Tirelli's music."
See, when I wrote that article about Dave Tirelli four years ago, I didn't really proofread it. I didn't really try to polish it up and make it easy to read. I didn't really put a ton of effort into it.
I used to write and make video and written pieces for the subreddit off and on, but that one I just threw together. I just thought it was so totally comical that somebody could be this incompetent or outwardly corrupt, or both.
I didn't put it in the article, but internally from what I remember, I just sort of hoped "maybe this was the only guy they could get to judge during Covid in May 2020" and sent it out into the Redditverse.
If you haven't read it or missed Part 1 when TheBaltimoron reposted it on Saturday, you can find it here.
I sort of just figured after all that, he'd not get any more major assignments after how terrible his cards were and we'd all forget about it. After all, the UFC was the only sport really going at that time. Surely all the athletic commissions noticed.
No.
The son-of-a-bitch is STILL getting major cards.
And they're just as bizarre as they've ever been.
There's going to be a bunch of tables below. You can skip this section now, and come back up to refer to it if you're not sure what part of a table means:
Media Scores For = Number of Media Members Who Scored the Fight for X Fighter Per MMADecisions.comFan Win Percentage = Percentage of Fans Who Scored the Fight for X Fighter per MMADecisions.com. If the numbers do not add up to 100%, some voters ruled a 10-10 draw unless otherwise noted.
Tirelli Score = Tirelli's Final Scorecard
Rounds Tirelli Scored For = Dave, if you're reading this and having trouble figuring out what this means, this box has the rounds you gave that fighter, separated by a comma.
Fans With Same Result = This box represents the amount of fans who had the same result as Dave. Note, they may have scored rounds differently but arrived at the same final score. This metric should not be viewed as the amount of fans who had the same scorecard as that number would almost certainly be something even less.
Caveats:
Some fights won't have striking stats and some won't have great fan data. Some fights may have misleading stats or big moments that changed rounds/fights that aren't reflected in the data. That said, the point is to show a repeated history of being detached from reality, not a myopic view of one specific fight.
While there are many fights where I remember him scoring a round weirdly, I am only going to include fights with decent evidence to support the overall theme.
In short, this is not an exhaustive list of all of his insane scorecards.
But it is a pretty good one.
Let us pick up where we left off from part 1.
November 12th, 2020
Tirelli scores it 29-28 for Storley.
| Fighter | Media Scores For | Fan Win Percentage | Tirelli Score | Rounds Tirelli Scored For | Fans With Same Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amosov | 6 | 74.7 | 28 | 1 | |
| Storley | 1 | 21.3 | 29 | 2, 3 | 20.0% |
Now, Tirelli turns in a 29-28 for Sorley, which is not his most bizarre card he's ever turned in, but that's not saying a whole lot. The point of deviation from fans and media, was the 2nd round.
| Fighter | Round Two Fan Percentage For | Tirelli Scored For |
|---|---|---|
| Amosov | 85.3% | |
| Storley | 12.0% | 😎 |
This means, that no more than 12% of fans could have possibly had Tirelli's exact card. He's less accurate than a UFC troll. We're off to a rippin' start.
June 11th, 2021
Tirelli scores it 29-28 for Newell.
There were only five fan scorecards submitted on MMADecisions.com, and only one media scorecard. I don't have stats from the fight either. There's just not enough data.
So lets look at the one media scorecard and the other two judges vs Tirelli:
| Judge | King | Newell |
|---|---|---|
| Judge Dave Hagen | 30 | 27 |
| Judge Michael Murtha | 30 | 27 |
| SevereMMA's Sean Sheehan | 30 | 27 |
| Judge Dave Tirelli | 28 | 29 😎 |
BUT BC THATS LIKE SUPER SMOL DATA AND NOT FAIR.
Boys, we are just getting started. Buckle up.
November 6th, 2021
Tirelli scores the 3rd round for Allan.
| Fighter | Media Scores For | Fan Win Percentage | Tirelli Score | Rounds Tirelli Scored For | Fans With Same Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacoby | 14 | 97.1 | 29 | 1,2 | 8.8% |
| Allan | 1 | 2.9 | 28 | 3 |
Tirelli scored the fight correctly for Jacoby but with the wrong card because he had a stroke in the 3rd round:
| Fighter | Round Three Fan Percentage For | Significant Strikes | Takedowns/Ground Strikes | Tirelli Scored For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacoby | 97.1 | 48 | 0 | |
| Allan | 2.9 | 27 | 0 | 😎 |
Source 2
Yeah. No idea.
December 03, 2022
Tirelli scores it 29-28 Holtzman.
| Fighter | Media Scores For | Fan Win Percentage | Tirelli Score | Rounds Tirelli Scored For | Fans With Same Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guida | 17 | 80 | 28 | 3 | |
| Holtzman | 0 | 20 | 29 | 1, 2 | 13.8% |
You just never know when he's gonna strike. This time, it was in the 2nd round:
| Round Two Fan Percentage For | Significant Strikes (Total) | Takedowns | Control Time | Tirelli Scored For | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guida | 84.6 | 17 (29) | 2 of 8 | 2:55 | |
| Holtzman | 15.4 | 22 (32) | 0 | 0:01 | 😎 |
Source 2
This inspired comments from da bois:
How can anyone give that to Holtzman?-lopez_motors
Split??? pretty clear 2-1 Guida-Sleepyness86
Surprised that one of the judges gave Holtzman the 3rd round for a split decision but glad Guida won that after the continued sequence-altering fence grabs.-kmp92
November 4th, 2023
Tirelli scores it 29-28 Fernandes.
| Fighter | Media Scores For | Fan Win Percentage | Tirelli Score | Rounds Tirelli Scored For | Fans With Same Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fernandes | 1 | 17.4% | 29 | 1, 2 | |
| Diakiese | 12 | 82.6% | 28 | 3 | 17.4% |
Round one was a swing round. Tirelli deviates on the 2nd round:
| Fighter | Round Two Fan Percentage For | Significant Strikes (Total) | Takedowns | Control Time | Tirelli Scored For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fernandes | 21.7% | 10 (20) | 0 | 0 | 😎 |
| Diakiese | 78.3% | 4 (16) | 1 of 4 | 2:50 |
Source 2
One thing to remember is that ground strikes not rated as often as significant strikes compared to strikes landed at distance. As a result they are more often counted as "total" but not "significant".
As a result, the stats are a little misleading here - Diakiese dominated this round and the fan voting and other judges show it. But I did want to provide the statistics for full transparency, even if they are misleading.
Here's what the ratfucks thought:
The judge making this a split decision just hooked me for the rest of the night.-Nuclearfrog
Yeah I was half paying attention thinking diakese had this easy. Where the fuck did split come from-thatinsuranceguy
man that was boring also how the fuck was that a split decision????-southpawsouthpaw

Tirelli scores it 29-28 Raposo.

One of his worst stinkers so far. Not only did he give Round 1 to Raposo:

| Raposo | 2.6% | 7 (7) | 0 | 0 | 😎 |

He also gave him Round 2:

But if one absolutely dogshit card isn't enough, Dave's your man. The man can go all night.
The man can go TWICE in one night.
7. UFC 302: Sean Strickland def. Paulo Costa
June 01, 2024Tirelli scores it 49-46 Costa.
| Fighter | Media Scores For | Fan Win Percentage | Tirelli Score | Rounds Tirelli Scored For | Fans With Same Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Costa | 0 | 4.7% | 49 | 1, 2, 3, 4 | Unknown |
| Strickland | 24 | 94.9% | 46 | 5 |
That's right - this scorecard is so bizarre, we can't actually tell if any fans at all ended with 49-46 Costa, because it's not listed in the top five as a possibility in the data on MMADecisions.
I'm tired of making these fucking charts. You guys get it. It was insane and we all saw it.
You guys had many, many thoughts:
What in the fuck was that 4-1 Costa scorecard!?-PhenoManan
Worst scorecards ever tonight, the judge who scored it 49-46 Costa needs to be fired.-dealerofbananas
Legit one of the worst scorecards I’ve ever seen-GoldenLlamaDog
He needs to be investigated and prosecuted for bet rigging, cancelled for incompetence is the bare minimum.-Heroe-D
No incompetence can explain this. I suspect malice.-Real-Human-Bean-
49-46 Costa might be the single most heinous card I've ever seen-DesertRL
He thought Costa was Strickland 😂-ivo09
Enough of this shit.
How is it, that a rando on Reddit spotted this four years ago, and you guys can't figure it out?
Athletic commissions, your job is to protect fighters. Do your fucking job. It's already bad enough that fighters have "win bonuses" anyway. Your lack of doing your job could cost these guys their livelihoods.
I've reviewed this in depth if you can't tell. I have a question for the athletic commissions.
Don't you guys at the respective commissions all find it strange that he can go months to a year with totally normal cards, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it's like he's never seen the sport before? And be completely normal in the next fight, making really good decisions on razor thin rounds?
In the 6 fights where Tirelli went split decision in this article and I have media data, he was 2 for 76 against the media. Meaning, out of 76 media votes, they may have had a different card, but agreed with his winner twice out of seventy-six attempts.
Is it that Dave Tirelli is the only person on planet Earth sporatically capable of understanding who won a fight, OR is it just that if you graded him vs. the media over these 6 fights, he would be DEAD LAST in accuracy?
Whats Occam's razor have to say about this?
Since the commissions don't appear to watch to actually watch MMA, maybe they watch baseball. So, lets present the numbers in a different way.
Expressed as a batting average, arguably the hardest thing to do in pro sports, Tirelli is hitting .026 in his controversial decisions listed just here in part 2.
That makes him over SIX TIMES WORSE than the worst hitting performance over one season in Major League Baseball history. He's six times worse than the worst guy of all time, at the hardest feat in sports. Please, tell me more about how "hard" this job is.
So here you go. Here's your evidence, over two articles now, that shows, unequivocally, that he is either grossly incompetent or completely corrupt.
And Dana White was wrong.
He doesn't need to judge lower shows. He does not need a license. Not now, not ever. I've already done the hard work for you. Fighters don't deserve this. Fans don't deserve this. Promotions don't deserve this. Bettors don't deserve this. Coaches don't deserve this. Advertisers don't deserve it. The networks investing in the product of MMA don't deserve this.
None of them deserve Tirelli's incompetence.
But you know whose incompetence they really don't deserve? Yours - athletic commissions. Because you're asleep at the wheel with absolutely no signs of consciousness.
Pull his damn license.
Or do I need to do that for you too?
2024.06.07 20:32 Puzzled_Meeting9987 FFIE and the short squeeze, a stupid ape's approach
Disclaimer: Not financial advice. None of this is backed by financial analysis, math or all the other shit my brain can't do.
FFIE and the concept of a group of retail investors buying shorts in order to force a squeeze on a company that could potentially go belly up due to the HF d-bags short selling is gold. As a Gen-X ape, I love it. It's almost on par with Heath Ledger's Joker burning that huge stack of cash. It's not about the money, it's about fucking the status quo that the so-called rich and powerful have established. It's V for Vendetta on an economic scale rather than a blowing up Britain.
Anywhore, I have a few uncultured, unrefined and dumb-ape thoughts about what we as a collective are doing:
I welcome any and all opinions on the above, and I will continue to hodl my FFIE with diamond hands. May the odds be ever in our favor.

It's not about the money, it's about fucking the status quo that the so-called rich and powerful have established. It's V for Vendetta on an economic scale rather than a blowing up Britain.
Anywhore, I have a few uncultured, unrefined and dumb-ape thoughts about what we as a collective are doing:
- The squeeze takes much longer than you think it should. Patience is the key.
- Don't invest if you can't afford to invest. In my mind, if I have to forego putting food on the table, a roof over my head, or clothes to wear, I'm not investing. This should be obvious.
- The key to creating the squeeze is numbers of people who are willing to hodl the stock for an extended period of time. How many people can be added to the collective who can afford to invest in the shorted shares.
- HF d-bags hate losing, which is why this is so painful for them. They have made their life on making themselves incredibly wealthy. Win at all costs, even if you have to cheat the system or do illegal things. They have collected the "power" and wealth and centered it among themselves... the so-called elite few. And even when they get caught, the punishments never seem to fit the crimes and then they write a book about it and make a movie out of it (Greed, The Wolf of Wall Street, etc.)
- As a collective, we can be more powerful than they are because we aren't afraid to lose. Sometimes a stock won't squeeze. This will result in us losing. However, because of our numbers and how we invest, whether it's one share or 1-million shares, if we are following rule number two, then we have not lost anything we couldn't afford to lose. The HF d-bags can't afford to lose. They are playing with money that isn't theirs, they will lose their jobs, their lifestyle and they will be demoralized, at least temporarily until they find something else to criminalize and make profit from.
- Creating a squeeze in this manner is not manipulation of the markets. It's TRANSPARENCY... we are TELLING them what we're going to do. And for now, they're not really sure how to handle it. They cry manipulation because they don't like having their asses handed to them in a game they've rigged in their favor.
- We should, at the very least, try to be forward looking at the potential consequences of our actions. The goal is a better future for ourselves and our loved ones and future generations. However, we have to be concerned about rule changes that will negate what we're trying to do or consequences that could potentially crash world markets.
- What I like most about this is that the HF d-bags shorting these companies are doing it for fast ROI and to put companies out of business in order to allow themselves and others within their tight circles and to steal the intellectual property, patents and other items of value from the companies they destroy when the inevitable fire sales occur.
I welcome any and all opinions on the above, and I will continue to hodl my FFIE with diamond hands. May the odds be ever in our favor.
2024.06.07 20:31 afaithross I want to tell my mom about how I really feel, but I'm scared
A little bit of backstory because I feel it's necessary, I'm 24 and I have been in therapy since I was 14 for anxiety and depression, but within the last 5 years that I've been seeing a new therapist that I really love and work well with, I've realized how much of a victim of CSA and other child abuse I am. I haven't been diagnosed with C-PTSD but my therapist suggests I may have it and encourages me to get a diagnosis.
My first CSA incident happened when I was 4 years old, by both of my parents being intimate with each other while on top of me. My second I was 5 and I witnessed them doing sexual acts to each other. There were more incidents but it's more important to know these incidents were NEVER addressed, and never brought up by me or anyone. It's also important to know my mother is a low-functioning alcoholic, her alcoholism became bad when I was 5 years old and I witnessed a lot of domestic abuse between my parents.
My mother has never respected my boundaries. As an adult, she has assaulted me (about a year, less than a year ago) by hugging me and kissing all over my neck even after I would push her away she would hold me tighter. I have awful claustrophobia because of what my parents have done to me. When I was 7, I vividly remember my mother on top of me in the family room while I was on the floor and she was tickling me and it somehow got to her taking my pants off ? Or tickling me somewhere near my hips? I instinctively kicked her out of FEAR and she fell and busted her nose and started bleeding. She immediately had an attitude towards me and I went to sleep that night next to my dad, in bed, crying and praying my mother wouldn't die that night.
Now, I want to get CBT therapy, I can't afford it at this moment, but now I'm finally at a place in my life where I want to address these things because I feel it's made me stuck in life. I can't do anything without being reminded of my childhood, and sometimes I feel like a five year old and struggle immensely with daily tasks. I also just feel so sad because I want to have a relationship with my mother and father, I love them and I know I am trauma bonded to my mom, but I want it to work. I have hope in my father listening to me, last time I opened up to them I told them that them spanking me as a form of punishment as a child was traumatic for me and it's a form of abuse and my dad actually apologized to me while my mom denied it was wrong.
My sister has been no contact for 4 months although she lives with them, because my mom and her often don't get along due to my mom's alcoholism.
My therapist has suggested writing a note to my mom, not with the intention of giving it to her, but if I write it and I feel I want to give it to her, I can. The goal is just to get how I truly feel out there into words.
Please let me know your thoughts, any suggestions are welcome. Thank you so much for reading all of this by the way, this subreddit has been amazing reading everyone's posts has been more comforting than anything I can describe. It feels so utterly lonely being a child of an alcoholic and a CSA survivor but I know I'm not alone and this subreddit shows 🫶
