Silph Co Rival Gets Schemed and Owned! (4.0 Normal MGM/care package Nuzlocke)
Apologies in advance - this will be a long post as I am amped up right now!
I am doing a hardcore nuzlocke of 4.0 (because the AI changes of 4.1 were too frustrating to plan against) and in all of my attempts and prior nuzlockes I had NEVER been completely stumped on how to win like I was for the Silph Co Rival’s blastoise team. I usually always go water starter but went for incineroar this time so this would be my first run up against the blastoise line …
This team has WAY more set up potential than the other two rival teams. Understanding how much this AI loves to set up and use status moves, Swords dance kingambit, Jolly/aerilate/sharp beak/swords dance/sleep powdedouble-edge jumpluff, shell smash/mega launcher mega-blastoise are all potential run-killers. Sheer force/life orb Darmanitan and sharp beak staraptor can also hit HARD.
My box at this point (3rd picture) was NOT very good for this. I was very prepared to lose some soldiers in this fight and potentially the run altogether. Most of my mons were slower than everyone but kingambit and many of the mons that could be faster than jumpluff like mienshao, accelgor, zoroark, and espeon just would not be able to get in safely and kill before being killed. I planned for TWO DAYS and we seemed destined to meet our end.
Or so I thought …
The plan I finally found was not so simple, but we not only found our only way out of the fight with this strategy … we made it out DEATHLESS. But it was not without several risks along the way …
The team:
The Lead - Our potentially AI manipulating Houdini, Bold/Static/Magnet Ampharos with Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Confuse Ray
The Sweeper - Timid/Adaptability/Silk Scarf Pyroar with Flamethrower, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, and Noble Roar
The Queen’s Gambit - Adamant/Iron Fist/No Item Pangoro with Knock Off, Bullet Punch, Parting Shot, and Hammer Arm
The Wall - Adamant/Sturdy/Occa Berry Steelix with Protect, Toxic, Stealth Rock, and Earthquake
The Plushy - Impish/Huge PoweSitrus Berry Azumarill with Aqua Tail, Aqua Jet, Toxic, and Bulldoze
The Pivot Gambler - Careful/Emergency Exit/Loaded Dice Golisopod with Liquidation, Sucker Punch, First Impression, and Pin Missile
The Plan:
Ampharos was set to volt switch the staraptor. There were two possibilities from an AI standpoint because I don’t fully understand hard switch AI.
Either staraptor hard switches to Jumpluff because it’s the fastest mon remaining that isn’t 2HKO by Ampharos OR staraptor stays in, close combats for about 30%, and dies while Ampharos leaves battle.
If it was a hard switch to jumpluff, volt switch would do just enough so that Pyroar could come in and outspeed and kill with flamethrower without ever taking damage.
If staraptor stays in and dies, the AI will send in whatever mon best matches up with my choice from a speed and defensive standpoint.
EITHER WAY, if I choose pyroar after the volt switch, with pyroar at full health, the remaining mons all are outsped and at best 2HKO by pyroar making them all equally likely to come in after the kill. This leads to a random selection which almost dooms us if it’s blastoise vs pyroar, and certainly dooms pyroar if I try to hit the high roll hyper beam.
What follows turns out to be a dream scenario:
Staraptor stays in and dies to volt switch, I choose pyroar with a 25% chance for blastoise to come in with tons of backup and ruin this run with shell smash.
Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random KINGAMBIT … OHKO with flamethrower.
33% chance for blastoise now. Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random JUMPLUFF … OHKO with flamethrower
50% chance for blastoise now. Played to the outs and was rewarded with a random DARMANITAN
Switch to azumarill who tanks a rock slide, aqua jets it well under half, tanks a U-turn (since it knew it was dead to priority) procking the sitrus berry, bringing in blastoise.
At 145 HP, blastoise needed two shell smashes to have a range to kill azumarill. It was my best defensive option. On the first, I toxic. On the second, I bulldoze. It’s just under 50%. Another bulldoze + 3/16 from toxic should kill after the defense drops, but I’m not positive on that and I could die first from a high roll water pulse. Switching saves no one.
Risking the plushy for the sake of the run, I click bulldoze. The water pulse does not roll high and I live on 5 HP BUT GET CONFUSED!
The Plushy not only hits through the confusion but CRITS THE BULLDOZE TO KILL THE +4 SpA blastoise!
Darmanitan comes back out. It’s now a random move. I switch to golisopod so he can either live and sucker punch for the kill or be ejected out to pyroar who can close with a fast hyper voice. Golisopod is hit with a weak EQ and sucker punch seals the deal!
An insane stretch of luck, sure, but after two days of planning and having every mon survive, I am PUMPED for the team and had to share with you all the events, even if no one reads :)
Have a wonderful night everyone!!

2024.05.14 03:18 Spoil3dSpam First Time Host

Thanks for stopping by!
I’m closing on my first AirBnB property next Friday. The current owner has been operating it since March of last year and provided all financials including complete overhead such as utilities, cleaning, Ring subscription, etc. The money is right and the property is conveniently located next door to my father. This was all my happenstance and let me even further to believe this was somewhat fate. The only reason the owner is selling is that she now lives 40 minutes away and no longer works in this town. She has found another property in her new hometown and is already in the middle of purchasing it as well. I know her son very well and he was my real estate agent on my primary home.
I’m trying to think of ways to better serve my guests and make their overall experience above expectations. The previous owner converted her father’s house after his passing and many of items of the home were his. I’m buying turn key with all possessions as well.
I’m planning on buying all new towels that match (far more than enough to help if I need to just take the dirty with me in a hurry), the same with sheets.
I intend on going through the entire kitchen to determine what else might be needed as far too often when I stay in a short term rental I’m left with a pile of junk to work with.
I’ve also stayed at properties that had little goodie baskets ready with bags of popcorn, a few snacks, etc.
I’m also planning on putting in a desk with a three monitor remote work station with a dock so that I can work from there on days I need to clean in the week and not interrupt my day outside of normal hours while still adding that additional amenity for the property overall.
I’m planning on having quiet a bit of extra things on hand for babies since I have a two year old and can easily take the playpen down there now that it’s not in use and just other things that might help parents on the road.
I’m looking for any and all advice on what you’ve tried and learned works or doesn’t and why. Heck, any information is better than nothing. I’m excited about this new adventure and am looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 03:18 NovaButNotFashion New to Noom, help as a 29 yr old?

I’m a 29F and used to be in the best shape being both an ex-college athlete and doing running races often. Covid really ruined it for me and I stopped working out and not watching what I eat. Years later I’m turning 30 this year and hate the way I look so I decided to try Noom to lose 50 lbs. Anyone have any advice on starting and what to watch out for as I begin this process. I appreciate all the future help!

2024.05.14 03:18 PrimarySlip4164 My laptop only turned on when the charger plugged and the battery unplugged.

I have HP laptop, 2 months ago i replaced the battery with a new one but not the original type. Last week, my laptop won't even turned on. I tried many things, but none works until I accidentally turned it on while the laptop connected to the charger but the battery unplugged and it boot. I was confused, i thought that the problem was solved i turned my laptop off and plug the battery ( charger unplugged) tried to turned it on but nothing happen. Then i tried to plug the charger and still nothing happen. It made me more confused, so i tried to unplug the battery then plug the charger and turned it on and it boot.
Now i know the problem has something to do with the battery and the charger, but I do not know exactly what's the problem and how to resolve this. For the last week i just use the laptop with the charger plugged in.

2024.05.14 03:18 YbClock Age Requirement Issue for OTS '24 Bid

Today I received an email regarding submitting an SF-50 showing appointment to a 2152 series prior to max entry age. I was under the impression that I only needed to be under 31 by the close of the application period. I turn 31 in July, which I thought was fine because the application closed on April 22. Should I bother contacting the human resources office listed in the email, or am I screwed?

2024.05.14 03:18 nathanshanley New PC keeps crashing. I have two questions plz…

As the title says, I just finished building a new PC, but it has been experiencing crashes back to desktop while gaming on several games (squad, BMX Streets, gray zone warfare) & 1 crash that rebooted the entire system after I closed out of the Xbox app one time. For added context, I have been utilizing XMP mode in my BIOS (3200 speed)
Since these crashes, I have done the following to diagnose/fix the problem. - turned down graphics settings in the games but that didn’t help - ran SFC/SCANNOW which did fix corrupted files, but this didn’t fix the crashing. - I used memtest86 to test ram, which found many errors while I was using the XMP profile with maximum ram speed (3200) - I tuned the XMP profile down to 3066 ram speed & used memtest86 again which found 0 errors.
After this, I also looked at my motherboard’s accepted RAM list online and did not find my exact model number there (but found others that were very similar to it by Corsair)
I have 2 questions:
Here are my system specs: - GPU: RTX 4070 super gigabyte gaming OC - CPU: Intel i7 13700k - Cpu cooler: NXT Kraken 240mm AIO - PSU: EVGA 1000GT Supernova Gold - RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 DDR4 - SSD: 980 Pro M.2 2 TB

2024.05.14 03:17 NorCalLadyBug Hosted an AA family

I've heard in the past that hosts would turn away AA people and I never knew why. I don't see it that way. Out of 12 years of hosting, I had an AA family of 5 guests (2 were kids) for 5 days over Mother's Day weekend. Things seemed to be ok. I did notice they were not from the best part of Texas (Killeen area), but paid no attention. I went out of town after a couple of days they were there to celebrate mother's day and lo and behold... All hell breaks loose when I left. They threw a small party, called the cops on each other (against the baby daddy) and had uninvited guests over. When I came home from my Mother Day's trip, my neighbor came over and told me and then I saw all the drama unfold on my Ring cams with 2 cops at my house and the uninvited guests and cars arriving. They left 3 trash bins full of garbage. They stole my Costco roll of garbage bags, new bag of detergent and lord knows what else. They even rented my Turo car and didn't replenish the gas. They were ghetto and trash and I let my guard down only to be let down.
Last night I was full of anxiety as that baby daddy was trying to get into the rented house but I took some sleeping pills and just waited in the morning as they were going to leave. I'm just venting that as a society, we try not to stereotype, but here I am... Wondering if I should have turned them away.

2024.05.14 03:17 Naifamar Pc help

Hi guys, I have a problem here. PC 2 weeks ago refused to turn on, then after unplugging/ plugging PSU, playing around it turned on.
5 days ago it did not turn on also, but things started getting worse: I took components out of case, assembled and nothing happened when I turned it on, after I removed RAM its magically started (I think this is coincidence)
Now, I turn on only 1 times a day or less, always turns on after SECOND press on “power” button.
I have tested : PSU with multimeter (24PIN) - all voltage normal, paperclip test went good, always powering on, when I connect to MOBO - no
I have changed CMOS battery : did not help.
Started MOBO with screwdriver : did not help
Tried removing several components : did not help.
My main suspicion is PSU (althought it seems like MOBO getting proper voltage, maybe its the problem idk) and MOBO itself, since I dint know how to test it.
I want to take it to repair shop for diagnostics as I have exhausted all my option.
Maybe you had similar symptops and can help me if I need to replace PSU or MOBO
Again it sometimes magically powering on after I press it but its rare

2024.05.14 03:17 bugluvr81 How should I(20f) tell my boyfriend(20m) I was raped?

TW: detailed SA
To preface this, I was manipulated and abused by a boy when I was 13. During this time my mom abandoned me with my dad and I was in an extremely vulnerable position emotionally. I had just left foster care as well and had really never experienced real love or attention.
That was until I met a boy in my grade(7th grade), who immediately started complimenting me and approaching me sexually. He would send me other girls nudes, who were also our age, saying it was normal to send nudes even though I didn't want to. He endlessly pressured me into sending nudes by saying he was going to hurt himself or even kill himself. He pressured me into dating him and I ended up "dating" him for the next 9 months. On our first date he immediately got me away from my mom and kissed me and grabbed my chest and immediately starting putting his hand down my underwear. I pushed him off of me and my mom immediately turned the corner to find us. She ended up essentially dropping off the face of the earth less than a week later.
After this "date," we continued to text and he wanted to know when I'd be ready for sex. He wanted me to sext with him and I physically couldn't I was just 13 and too awkward to. He'd get extremely mad and end up sexting other girls just to send me screenshots of their messages and nudes. For some reason I thought this was normal. I told him I wouldn't feel ready for sex until I was at least 14, but a month into dating he came over to my house with 2 of our friends. Our 2 friends went upstairs and we stayed in my room, he forced himself onto me after we had been kissing. He pulled down my pants and I said no and he begun raping me I cried and said no and that it hurt but he still continued. When he finished, he had blood on his hands which he wiped off and we went upstairs to be with our friends. I told him it wasnt normal and it hurt and there was blood on his hands but he showed me a porn of how virgins usually bleed so I thought it was normal.
I continued dating him, I thought this whole thing was normal so we had more sex and do sexual things. I went on a trip with him and his family a few months later even and while there he strangled me. I was in the middle of rambling about some show I was interested in and he wrapped both hands around my neck and squeezed so hard. I just looked into his eyes and gasped and he had no emotion on his face at all. He ended up breaking up with me a few months later blaming my poor mental health.
Months after that I started piecing together that what happened wasn't normal. I would look at the spot on the ground where it happened in my room and get flashbacks. Even though we had "broken up" we were still texting and I told him that I didnt want what had happened that day. I also took a sex ed class after it had happened and realized technically it had been rape. I told him my concerns and he admitted that what had happened wasn't right. I dont remember what happened to make me so angry at him that I went to our school counselors and reported him, but he did something to aggravate me? There was a police investigation but I dropped charges due to already having to go to court like every month for the past year for foster care complications and getting a restraining order on my mom. He ended up moving schools soon after and I moved 100 miles away the following year.
Fast forward, I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and we live together. We're both broke students but we really love each other. He was in a car accident last week that totaled his car, he was physically fine but taken away by an ambulance and in the hospital for the rest of the day. The doctors were worried there might be spine or head trauma/damage and I've never been so worried in my life. He ended up fine but I realized that I really want to spend a good portion of my life with this man, possibly even have kids. He's my only family really and he's amazing, imagining him injured or worse made me lose my mind at the hospital.
He knows a lot about my trauma, my mom ended up dying so he's comforted me through that as well as listening to all the horrible things I've experienced. I've mentioned there's one thing I can't talk about which is this. I physically cannot bring any of this up to him and I can't even say the word rape out loud. He's assured me I can tell him whenever I feel ready but I don't know how to admit these things unless he asks me very specific questions about it which obviously I cant expect.
He's very gentle with me but sometimes I feel myself disassociated during sex and get flashbacks to what happened. I just want him to understand what happened but I don't even know how to begin the conversation.
If anyone has advice on how I bring this up to him it would be very appreciated.

I have the setting for "lower resolution to send quicker" turned off. Randomly for the last week or so, every image I receive via text is blurry and low quality unless I'm on wifi. Any idea what's going on?

2024.05.14 03:17 existing_animal11 (long) Story time: I was traumatized as a child by the weekly “Tamil school”

I am seriously doxxing myself by making this post, but if anyone I know sees this, hopefully you can see the perspective nobody in my community saw.
Since 1st grade, my p@rents insisted that I go through a weekly Tamil school which was in person, but they switched to zoom classes in 2020. I started in 2013 when I was 5, and graduated when I was 13. My last two years were on Zoom.
I was an uncooperative little shit as a kid, I fought to the death to not do the weekly Tamil homework on weekends, and I frequently made a fool of myself in class. I was relatively goofy and mostly unfunny to make up for my insecurities, and this pretty much showed to everyone in my class, which was about 8 people who I would stick with until graduation in 8th grade.
After about two years of getting comfortable and also making a fool of myself, I sort of retracted myself and my goofy persona because of bullying. I didn’t fight with the volunteer teachers, who made me feel like I was in a boot camp. The worst part was my classmates’ being comfortable with bullying me, especially this one girl and her friends. Every Friday was just fighting with my p@rents to not go, and then showing up and being bullied and mocked. This kept up for a really long time, and I grew resentful and depressed. There were frequently in person events to perform plays, and this was even worse. The teachers frequently yelled at me, that one girl and her friends kept bullying me, and my p@rents wouldn't stop nagging me for fighting to go to this.
The fact that my pa@ents made me do this made me distrust them on a really concerning level, and I sort of continued to grow isolated. Nobody knew it at the the time but these things would cause severe behavioral issues later down the line, if they weren’t causing problems already.
I should also mention that Tamil people have this really strong connection to their language, which is why they fight so hard for their kids to learn and live the language. I spoke Tamil to my p@rents as a kid even before I started going to this school every Friday, but my god, the amount of suffering I endured made me resent the language as a whole. Tamil in itself makes me cringe really hard, and I find it incredibly difficult to make myself speak it, although this is probably a me problem that I haven't gotten over yet.
Back to the story. In my last 4 years, I became an extremely violent person. I physically fought with other kids at this school, not just with my classmates. It spiraled out of control, and the last years were spent fighting with everyone and ticking like a time bomb waiting to explode, which ended up happening on my graduation day of my last year. Nobody saw the warning signs, and neither did I. I was broken inside.
The organization holds a graduation at the end of every year for all kids, and if it's your last year, you're supposed to give a speech talking about how much you learnt. Obviously, my p@rents being Indian p@rents, made me write up a big speech to tell to this audience of maybe 300 people and kids with the rest of my class on stage. Everyone knew by this point that I was struggling really hard at this, but nobody thought to think that there may be underlying mental health issues as a result.
The day of the graduation and speech, I blew. I was to wear a graduation gown before going on stage. Instead, I took it off and wore it on my waist like a hoodie. This was enough to warrant stares and murmurs, but when the mic was handed to me to give my speech, my years of so-called dignity were over. I didn't give the speech. Instead, I threw up a middle finger and audibly said "Fuck all of you r*tarded assholes and fuck you for making me do this shit. And fuck all of you idiots who I had the shame of calling my classmates for the past 8 years." I then proceeded to run off stage and laugh my ass off while the entire crowd of 300 people turned to look at my p@rents with the most disdain. Nobody was expecting it, and to be honest, neither was I. It just came out after all those years, and to this day, I am ashamed that's what I ended up saying. I was an immature 13 year old, and I guess that's just how things roll when you're an undiagnosed autistic 13 year old with anger management issues.
In the aftermath, my p@rents refused to speak to me and they ended up apologizing to everybody. I'm glad it was my official last day. The next 2 years would be spent pulling out of school and going full online public school, dealing with suicidal ideation, and depression. I blame those 8 years of hell on them, but also myself to an extent. I should've known better and I didn't. On the plus side, I got a cool certificate saying I'm fluent in Tamil, lol.
Today, I'm doing a lot better. I graduated early, started community college, and made peace with these things. I later on apologized to my teachers for my anger issues, and they also apologized to me. I never spoke to my classmates again, although I will admit that the girl who bullied me so much is probably going through her own issues, which she decided to take out on me. My f@ther apologized to me for not knowing what was happening, but my m0ther didn't. But that's to be expected from a traditionalist Indian m0m.
I know I've done a lot of yapping here, but I just want everybody who reads this to know, it's okay to not want to do something, and your experiences are so so valid. I see other kids who fight with their p@rents at these Tamil school events (my sister is still a student there), and I make sure to speak with these little kids and let them know to come tell me anything if they ever feel unsafe there and they are too scared to tell their p@rents (which has actually worked!). The organization continues to struggle with mostly hard Tamil traditionalists in charge, trying to get little kids to adopt not just the Tamil language, but also the Tamil vigor. I firmly believe that most kids won't go through an experience like mine, but for those who do, it's okay to want out, and I continue to do my part to help kids who do want out. I was told so many times that I must keep fighting because of "my culture", but culture must be adapted to in a passive manner, not shoved and forced like it was done to me. I hope change will come soon in this little bubble.
Thanks for reading my story :)

2024.05.14 03:16 copperboombaby Getting Engaged

Hi friends - I’m still a big ball of anxiety and depression, so please be kind. I’m on 112.5g of Venlafaxine (Effexor) and have been feeling more panic and anxiety over the last month (especially this past week), over the thought of getting engaged. To be clear, I love my partner more than anything, I can’t wait to spend our lives together, and I’m ready to start a family. That said, the idea of getting engaged was forcing me to confront very uncomfortable feelings about my broken family (childhood trauma), societal expectations (is this enough for everyone, who am I letting down), and self doubt (am I deserving of this, am I a fraud.)
Fast forward - my now fiance proposed this past weekend. What started as a beautiful proposal (which still brought me feelings of being overwhelmed), which as a very anxious person, I expected - turned into a surprise party with all of our friends and family. For a person not going through what i’ve been - this would have been amazing! However, I couldn’t catch my breath. I spent the entire time barely having time to talk to anyone because I had to shift to the next person (wedding style.) I felt like I had to vomit the entire time, and once everyone left - I ended up having one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever had, and ended what was supposed to be a memorable night with my fiance holding me as I was violently crying on the bathroom floor.
I write all of this not to ask for pity, but for reassurance that maybe someone else out there has encountered this level of anxiety and panic with a big life event like this? The only thing that’s helping me is being gentle with myself and frankly, having my fiance hold me and tell me these thoughts will pass and it’s going to be okay.

Fragrant Foto: If you like this… you might like that too
Guys… I think I have the Z&V bottle backside showing instead of the front for my picture. Lol oops… let’s just pretend I shot it the right way okay.
Moving on, I get the feeling that if someone likes one of these, they will probably also like the others. Do you have any fragrances that you feel are like that? They don’t necessarily smell the same, but they do share enough of a common thread or vibe that it seems like it would be just a given to own the others? So that brings me to….
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Gold Couture- the very first time I tried this, I fell in love. So then I ordered a travel size decant, I think it was like 15 ml, and I emptied it in a week. After that, I knew I should probably own a full size bottle. I just love it… it’s vanilla, and creamy and caramelly… and I’m beyond addicted to it. The only downside I have with it, is the fact that it only lasts a couple hours. I actually think that may be part of why I went through it so fast. But even so, I’m glad to have it, and I can’t see myself ever not having this in my collection. It has enough of a perfume quality that it doesn’t make me feel like I smell like straight up food. I truly just love it through and through.
Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her- this one is similar to above, yet at the same time… soooo different. It has a thread of masculinity running through it. I get like a hint of shaving cream in the dry down, but I find that this is also what gives it a coolness. It makes it more fashionable, more intriguing. I think I may go semi-noseblind to it after around 4 or 5 hrs, but then the wind will blow, or I’ll turn around while walking… and I’ll get a nice big blast of it. There it is, welcome back. So I’ll say that realistically, it lasts around 6-7+ hrs on me with intermittent periods of noseblindness. It’s sweet, cozy, and intriguing.
Lattafa Haya- rounding out this post, is a newer fragrance from Lattafa. It is actually supposed to be a dupe for Viva La Juicy Bowdelicious, but I have never tried that flanker, so I can’t speak on that. But I can say that this absolutely smells like a flanker of Gold Couture. It’s a bit more vibrant and sparkly, and there is a sheerness instead of the creamy aspect. But otherwise, the scent is incredibly similar. I’d say it could sorta come off as the spring/summer version of VLJGC. It also lasts around 5 hrs on me, which is an eternity compared to my beloved gold couture.
So there you have it… if you like ____ , you’ll probably also like _____. I hope to make more posts like this in the future. As some of you know, I enjoy combining my photography hobby with fragrance, but I want to make posts of value that go beyond the pictures. So I hope someone finds this helpful.
I’d also love to know your own examples of the same premise! Let me know!

2024.05.14 03:16 Bitter_Pin1163 Best Non-Toxic Sunscreen?

Looking for a sunscreen to use on a regular basis- I’m kinda a health freak and the chemicals in skin products turn me off.
Anyone have a non-toxic sunscreen they love?

2024.05.14 03:16 awesomesauceblossom Mom got sister to flip on me

Mom got sister to flip on me
So my mom and I were talking about the job market today, and she told me I’m lazy and instead of pursuing my dream of film, I should be a wedding planner. I told her that most people nowadays get a job from a connection and mentioned that my sister got an internship at a very well-known fashion brand because our dad is friends with someone on the board of the company.
My mom claimed that I was implying that she and my dad haven’t done enough for me. Not true. She screamed at me the whole ride home and turned the car around as we were headed to a store together.
Apparently she called my sister afterwards to complain about me and I got a long ass text afterwards saying that she deserved it more than anyone and would’ve gotten the internship even without it (her first internship was at a company that guy was also on the board of). Then decided to list all of my faults and claim I’m ungrateful to my parents for this. She also just continued to insult me, including with the sentence above.
Keep in mind, I’m 27 and she just graduated college. Parents bought her an Audi sports car.

2024.05.14 03:16 soomajestic Surgery in 2015 didn't work. Surgery again??

Hello everyone. I had the cubital tunnel release surgery done on my right arm in 2015 when I was 15. They said during the surgery there would be a 10% chance that they would have to transpose the nerve as well, and that ended up being done. Since the surgery nothing has improved. Now at 24, it's becoming unbearable. I have fibromyalgia as well, so I thought maybe the pain was just fibro pain this entire time, but the extreme pain and uselessness of my hands makes me think it's the cubital tunnel.
I found this sub and just wanted to share my thoughts as I'm unsure what to do next. I've seen one doctor so far, and I didn't like how he wanted to dive straight into surgery after just sharing my previous experience with him. I'm going to try to see a new doctor here soon, but I really don't want to get another surgery done. With my fibromyalgia, having a surgery would be extremely painful, and while people share experiences with recovery being a long time, with fibromyalgia it could be years and years. Furthermore, with my arm already messed up from the first surgery, almost a decade later, I'm completely terrified. Nonetheless, my hands are becoming useless. I cannot do most things at the moment, and fear that surgery may be my only option.
For additional info, I've gone to many physical therapists and they've stated that the pain may be due to my posture (i know i know, wait a second). I do chin exercises where I push my chin in, and this does cause the pain in my arms to be lessened. Unfortunately, due to my 500 health conditions, my posture is essentially doomed and these exercises are futile besides the few seconds of relief. Furthermore, while the pain is in my hands, it's also mostly in my shoulder. When I push down on my shoulder blade, I can feel the pain shoot to my elbow, which in turn, makes my pinky finger go numb.
I'm hoping by writing this post there's someone with similar experiences. I tried searching on here but I couldn't find something similar enough. (Also I'm a little behind on lingo so please explain things thoroughly to me if you're able. I haven't searched cubital tunnel stuff since my last surgery due to my other problems, so I'm a bit behind!) Thank you so much.

2024.05.14 03:14 Big-Solution3255 When I updated my drivers to the latest installation, it messed up my home screen

I'm not too tech-sabby, so I'm wondering if I messed up here somehow. I followed a Youtube video posted by GuidedRealm (I will link below) that showed me how to update my drivers. When it was installing, my computer went all black for a few seconds and made some weird noises, then when it turned back on, all my apps were in shambles. Can anyone tell me if I messed up or downloaded a virus or something? Thanks

2024.05.14 03:14 Willing-Macaroon-159 I hate being the youngest child

I was born in 2009, youngest child of 3 and it just keeps getting worse the more I grow up. My entire family treats me like a little baby by restricting everything I do when I'm turning 15 soon but also forces me to grow up way too quick from the same experience my older siblings had. I never got my own stuff, everything I had were runny hand me downs from my older siblings and my parents didn't bother giving me the slightest bit of anything. I was born during the recession in America and all my older siblings do is talk down on me that I'm a waste of sperm, time, and money, I get treated like a gen alpha just because I'm slightly younger than them. I have double standards because of the things my siblings have done good or bad, and I have to do better than them and everything my parents don't like means I'm a bad reflection of them, my siblings get to reminisce their childhood with my parents and get all nostalgic when you were probably a baby or not even born yet and you get left out, all they do is come after you for being the 'spoiled' child when all that happened was getting more attention obviously because you were young and was being raised like how it goes for every child. My older siblings get to make the choices for everything and make fun of me for everything I do and say for no reason. I don't know why people act like being the youngest is some kind of heaven when it's a literal curse but I do know it's based on different families and I needed to get it off my chest.
