Pokémon Puff Girls!
This is my first time posting art on here so go easy on me:,>
I haven't seen much of what the Powerpuff girls would be like if they were in the Pokémon universe, SOOO... I sorta decided to test my luck at designing them?
I kind of want to design them as Fakemon as well, I feel that would be fun as well!
However, I'm not really sure what their full 6 party teams would be:( all I know is that they would share one of the three Kanto starters and three eeveelutions.
I also haven't thought much of what region they would be in and their exact roles would be within the universe. I do see Blossom being an aspiring professor, Buttercup a trainer, and Bubbles being a Coordinator!
But regardless, hopefully you guys think it's cool! :D

2024.05.14 20:40 TheFoxOfApril Sick.

I have a sore throat/muscle soreness type virus. In bed, just waiting for it to pass.
Mexico is just how i remember it. Only some friends moved on. Everyone has gotten older. The mexican heat is a killer. Regular 90 to 95 during the day.
I Hate and love it. I remember when i left mexico. Saying how i will miss the heat. And i did. Saying that i'll be back in a second, and poof. With the snap of our fingers, years pass by.
My dads house is a mess. We have free range chickens. In the front and back yard. Like 30 in all. No organization. Shit Everywhere. Old tools, old wood, over grown grass. The house looks fine. But we have roaches. I have a game plan for everything. Now that i'm here. Me and my step mom, are planing on fixing everything. My dad might of fixed somethings. But he is working 12 hour shifts.
My 6 month vacation, i'll spent fixing the house, cleaning the town, exercising, losing weight. Need a body like jacob from twilight.
I'll have it. Gonna look like edward though, my skin is pretty pale.
Haven't seen curiosity yet. Wanted to go play chess with her dad. I was wondering what i'd say...
Nothing perhaps. She is apart of the past. Just let it go. But then what. Texas.
The new frontier. It'll be fun.

2024.05.14 20:35 YesterdayOk9882 Would we be the assholes if we don’t attend our childhood friends wedding?

Hi Morgan, Longtime listener, first time writing in. My best friend and I are having trouble figuring out the right thing to do in this situation and wanted to get an outside perspective. Buckle up because this is a LONG one because theres a lot of backstory that’s necessary.
Would we be the assholes if we didn’t attend our childhood best friends wedding?
There is a lot of context in this storyline so I’ll try to give a lot of detail. We start in January of 2023, my best friend, Greta(26F) and I(26F) get in contact with one of our childhood best friends, Laura (26F), and plan a visit to catch up on the past 10ish years that we’ve been apart. Laura moved away from our hometown when we were 15. Now Greta and I live about 2 hours from where Laura moved to when we were young, so we reached out and invited her and her fiancé Logan(26M) up to stay with us and hang out.
They come visit, we have such a great time, her fiancé was pretty quiet and distant the whole time, but the 3 of us together were big talkers so I just chalked it up to him not being able to get a word in and they left. In March they came back to visit again and announced to us that they were moving a few states away. We were really sad, but happy for them since they were getting to move somewhere that they’d wanted to be for a while. They were going to elope together after a few months but Logan had a university study abroad for a month in Japan so they were going to wait until after.
So, he leaves for Japan in May, and while he is away a girl reaches out to Laura from the college that Logan attends. This girl tells Laura that her friend had been getting really close with Logan, uncomfortably so and she wanted to give Laura a heads up that she thought they were romantically involved. Greta and I were worried but Laura brushed it off and said it was probably nothing, so Greta and I dropped it because we didn’t feel close enough to Laura to tell her we felt like she should look into it more.
Flash forward 2 weeks into Logan’s study abroad, he calls Laura at 5AM to let her know that he doesn’t think he wants to get married anymore. She’s distraught but has to go into work that morning and calls us after to let us know. We support her, you know he fucking sucks for doing that not only over the phone but right before she went into work, real shady. Greta and I are very worried about Laura because Laura really wants to make it work, but we still don’t say anything because we just want to be there for her.
He gets back and agrees to go to couples counseling, they do couples counseling for 2 weeks, during this time he repairs her car. Replaces a tire, breaks, oil change, the works, he’s been working with cars for a long time, so this was no biggie. Well after that two weeks, Laura comes home to all of Logan’s stuff packed and he tells her it’s over and he’s moving back home. He leaves. She’s devastated. We comfort her, come up and visit her, and tell her that she doesn’t need him and she slowly starts getting over him. Meanwhile she gives us A TON of context about her relationship with Logan. She paid for his college, he has had no job for the past 2 years while getting his degree, so she had been financially supporting them both. She paid for his trip to Japan, he put her in 20K of credit card debt, and more in personal loans, etc. Then in couples therapy told her he wasn’t attracted to her because she made money and he didn’t (so weird).
So immediately Greta and I are like, “Girl, we had a bad feeling, we wanted to tell you but didn’t want to upset you, we’re just glad you’re finally out of that mess”. She tells us that next time we should come to her and be honest with her, we apologize and agree. Then one day Laura calls us to tell us that she almost got into a really bad car accident. She lives in a mountainous area and her breaks went out on her when she was driving on the interstate on a hill, she managed to pull of into a grass median and slow the car down.
She gets the car towed to a mechanic that night and heads to work the next morning. Mechanic calls her midday. He asks he who worked on her car last, she said “My ex” and he said “Is he still in your life?” she said no. And he said “Good, Because I’ve never seen anything like this in my 20 years as a mechanic.” Her brake fluid hadn’t been connected so all the break fluid drained out. Her brake pads weren’t fastened/screwed in to the wheels, the were just placed in there. And he back tire bolts were stripped so hard that he said he tire probably would’ve come off had she kept driving.
Later that week, Logan asks to talk to her, she agrees only to get closure on the situation. Well he calls and begs her to get back together, she says no absolutely not. Then he asks” How’s the car?” She said, “Well I almost died last week”, he immediately jumped to the defensive “Well, that had nothing to do with me, I didn’t do anything” a very guilty response, so we were all convinced he tried to kill her. She filed a police report on him and started moving on. This is in July.
Now we move into part two of this debacle. My partner and I go up to visit her in September and she’s doing well on her own, she’s having fun, dating around, putting herself first, in therapy, just doing really well, were happy for her. She hasn’t really made any friends which is making her lonely but we were telling her to get involved in clubs and meet people, etc.
We leave our trip which was really fun and head back home. 2 weeks later, Laura says she’s met this really great guy, its almost October at this point, she’s gone on multiple dates with him and really likes him, were happy for her, still a bit concerned, but if she’s happy we’re happy. So Laura, Greta, and I plan a girls trip to come up and visit Laura for a long weekend. Laura wants us to vet this new guy, make sure he’s a good dude. She tells us she really values our input and so Greta and I are so excited to go on this trip with an open mind. November rolls around, one month before our trip and Laura announces that the new guy, we’ll call him Will (29M) has moved in with her, bringing his dog with him. Greta and I are a bit shocked but we didn’t say anything bc we’ve both done stuff like that before and Laura was struggling to keep up with rent on her own (she was still in the house that her ex fiancé left her in) so we knew she could use a roommate.
December is finally here and Greta and I hop on a plane and Will and Laura pick us up from the airport, first impression in the car was fine, he seemed nice, he drove us back to their place and we walk into the house. I come face to face with a completely different living room than I saw in September, all of Laura’s art and stuff are moved out of the living room replaced with the following: a giant poster of Elon Musk smoking a joint, a poster model of a rocket, a poster of Jesus riding a dinosaur with a machine gun. And a bookshelf full of Will’s books and Lego sets on display. Alarm bells are going off in my head and Greta’s at this point. We have a little conversation and because it’s late, we go to bed. We sleep in a room that outside of the house in the backyard, it has full heating so its basically just like a bedroom with a deadbolt. I double lock the dead bolts and we go to bed.
At 3am I’m woken up by Greta shaking me in a panic, asking me if I remembered to double deadbolt the door, I told her I did and that were okay and we both went back to sleep. When we woke up the next day, and she told me she had a weird feeling that he was gonna come in our room in the night. I agreed, and told her that was why I double dead bolted the door.
We go through our girls trip which ended up not being a girls trip at all, Will was by our side the entire time. Laura and he talked about looking at ENGAGEMENT RINGS, they bought a ring sizer, she was picking out her faves. He never let us have girl time except for one hour trip we took downtown to window shop. He would come sit in Greta and my room when we were talking with Laura, he would watch movies with us, he went everywhere with us. Not only that but in the middle of conversations, he would pull out his guitar and just start playing in the middle of us talking, or when we sat down to watch a movie. There is one bathroom in the house, and the main house part is very small about 650 square feet, my friend Greta has bathroom anxiety, she doesn’t like to poop in public places so she asked Laura and I if we would grab Will and the dog, and just go for a quick walk around the block while she used the bathroom. It was no biggie, so we got ready and went on a walk, we got 20 feet out the door and Will starts griping about how he doesn’t want to be outside and that Greta is a selfish pooper, and continues to complain the entire time were outside. We don’t even go for a walk, we stop at the corner of the street and just stand there because he doesn’t want to go any further.
At this point I’m annoyed with this guy, he just seems really controlling. To add to it, he didn’t want to go for a hike in the mountains, so Laura didn’t want to go so we ended up spending the entire weekend inside their house basically, even though we were in a beautiful area, and hiking is a group favorite, because he didn’t want to go. We didn’t. Also this is a personal anger of mine but I bought a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts (they were $18, which is crazy) and he ate EIGHT OF THEM. it pissed me off so bad, I had to hide the box that night just so I had 1 donut left over in the morning. Anyway onto the big finale.
Our last night there we finished up watching a movie and the events that unfold all happen within 3 minutes, keep that in mind. Laura had taken an edible so she was pretty out of it, like laying on top of the dog, whispering, just all around sounding really tired. Will says hes gonna take her to bed and Greta and I say were gonna get ready for bed in the bathroom. Bedroom and bathroom are five steps fro each other. I brush my teeth and use the bathroom while Greta is brushing hers and then I walk out of the bathroom and tell Greta that I’m grabbing my stuff to head over to our outside bedroom. I grab my bag from the kitchen counter, which is right next to their bedroom door. The bedroom door is open so I say goodnight to both of them and tell Greta I’ll see her in a sec, she’s just finishing up. Maybe 45 seconds pass and I’m waiting in our bedroom when I get 3 texts from Greta “OH MY GOD” “HELP” “HOLY SHIT”, Greta comes running out of the house, slamming the back door, and I run up to her.
She tells me that they were loudly having sex in their bedroom with the door open, mind you the bathroom is 5 steps from the bedroom. the kitchen counter is right next to the bedroom and Greta had to walk over to it to grab her stuff.
We are freaked the fuck out at this point not only was it super disrespectful but Greta was super affected by it, which who wouldn’t be it was disturbing. Because mere moments before Laura went to bed she was so high. And I smoke regularly so I know what it looks like when someone is super high and I hadn’t gotten that high in a long time. She was very out of it. So this really bothered us both.
The next day, were ready to go home, we get to the airport where they drop us off and once the two of us are in the airport we both look at each other and both just say “that was horrible”, we both felt like the entire trip we had a bad feeling about him and didn’t want to ruin the vibes of the trip so we just didn’t say anything about it. So were sitting in the terminal writing down a list of all the red flags, all the instances where he gave us a bad feeling. And overall just as a person he gave us a really bad feeling. Just gross, nasty, icky feeling. Not sure how to describe it well but I just knew something was off and Greta said she felt the same.
Laura had asked us to give our opinion on what we thought of him so we drafted up a letter to her, with key moments and points that we felt were big signs that he may not be a good guy. It includes everything we went over in this story, I didn’t want to supply to much of our opinion on the situation but I know that my bias comes out in this story a bit.
We wrote to her, and she responded to us with basically “I appreciate your concern, I will take your opinions into consideration” Its worth it to note that they were talking about getting engaged in March of 2024 (It is Early December 2023 at this point) and in our letter we told her that she should give their relationship more time, and get to know him better before they get engaged.
Our relationship with her after that became very one sided, Greta and I tried our best to keep messaging her but she really never responded so we kind of gave up. End of January we get a text from her, a picture of her and him she has an engagement ring on, “We’re engaged!” Greta and I respond with a Congrats! and a heart emoji, we’re super concerned but we have genuinely said all we can in that letter a little over a month before, so It didn’t feel right to say it again.
March she posts her “I said yes to the dress post” with Wills mom and his two sisters. She still doesn’t have any friends up where she lives so it makes sense for her to bring his family along. She didn’t message us about it, which is fair because we hadn’t been talking. We just thought they were getting eloped, because Greta has always said she wanted something small since she isn’t super close with her family (they’re not great).
So we left it there until last week I received an invitation in the mail to their wedding. Its this September on a Monday night.
Greta and I would have to pay around $500 each in order to even go to the wedding, calculating in airfare, shared rental car, shared hotel room, and that doesn’t even include, food, gas, wedding gift, etc. The two of us are not well of financially, we both live paycheck to paycheck so it would be really hard for us to go in general not to mention that the wedding is on a Monday night, so I have to take off extra days of work that I really don’t have. Same with my best friend, were in the same industry so wen have the same days off and all of that.
And I know it took us a while to get here but would we be the assholes if we decided not to attend her wedding?
TLDR: Best friend’s ex fiance tries to kill her in past relationship, she moves on two months later, her new partner moves in with her 3 weeks after dating. We go visit her and meet him, he’s go a lot of red flags, we tell our best friend, she distances herself and gets engaged weeks later. Invites us to her wedding in September that is also on a Monday. AWTA?

2024.05.14 19:37 Swimming_Whereas8915 Hey, gimme some advice

———
I'm almost 30 and have one child who is 5 years old. I'm an OFW and coming home this month because my contract has ended. My child's father is a foreigner whom I met abroad. I came home to the Philippines when I got pregnant 5 years ago, and since then, I haven't seen my ex, but sometimes we communicate and he sends money. A lot happened while I was pregnant: I found out he already had a family and children, his business failed, he had many loans at the bank, and the pandemic made it impossible for him to return to the Philippines when I gave birth. I eventually accepted the reality that he deceived me. My Facebook account is locked, and my name is in Japanese to prevent him from finding me on social media.
Now, we are in communication again, and he sends money every month for our child. He said he tried to find me but couldn't. He claims he's financially stable now and wants to make it up to me and our child, and he mentioned that we could get married. His plan is to take us abroad where he works. He has already filed for leave in July because he is serious about coming home to see our child, and he has booked a plane ticket and hotel in advance.
My problem is that I am in a relationship. I had a boyfriend when I left the Philippines, and he has been waiting for me. Our relationship isn't perfect, and we often argue, but not because of other men or women. My boyfriend doesn't know that I have been communicating with my ex because he once said he would leave me if I did. (I know this is cheating, but don't judge.)
My dilemma is that I don't know whom to choose or what the right decision is. I don't want to deprive my child of the chance to know his real father, especially since he has started asking about him. Financially, I need his help because I'm not very good at earning money, and my ex doesn't know that I have a boyfriend. He doesn't care as long as we can be a family.
On the other hand, my boyfriend is almost 7 years younger than me. I never expected him to wait this long. He plans to return to school, and I'm afraid we might not be endgame. He has a tendency to say hurtful things. I remember once when I jokingly suggested he should support my child's education, he said, "How dare you? Someone else had the fun, and I get the responsibility!" He was angry when I teased him, but it hurt. He doesn’t cheat, but he says hurtful things, and I worry he might one day resent everything he has done for me and my child. I tell myself it’s because he’s young, but I can’t help but overthink that I might be making the wrong bet. I'm also scared because I read open letters about people on Facebook and TikTok, and I know of children who were neglected because their parents remarried. I fear my child might end up feeling the same way or not being accepted by my future husband’s family.
My child has met my boyfriend and thinks he is his father. But I'm waiting and hoping that my boyfriend will sometimes remember my child and check on him. During Christmas, he didn't think of giving or sending gifts for my child, but he did for his godchildren, saying he had no money. However, there was one time he bought school supplies when we were fighting, trying to prove he loved my child. I know it’s impossible for him to love my child as his own based on his personality, but I still hope. I don’t want to hurt him because he waited so long, or maybe I just don’t want to be blamed and called a cheater. He has said many hurtful things to me when he's angry, but I let them slide because I'm afraid of being left again. Maybe now it’s different because I have somewhere to go, and that’s my ex. I still don’t know what to do. All I know is that being a parent is hard. I don’t love my ex anymore, but I can sacrifice for the complete family that my child deserves.

2024.05.14 19:07 Designer_Trash_8057 Game mode idea/pondering (long)

I had a thought about a game mode, as I'm sure we all do a lot, that I would love to see in game. I know this is quite impractical for real world development/ specific ethos of cooperation mechanics the game hosts, but I always enjoy seeing suggestions so wanna put it here in case anyone is the same and to see if anyone is as interested in it as I would be and ideas that you think could make it better.
I like the concept of a double or nothing extraction operation/gauntlet. This would be an operation (just one per planet I am imagining, the rest of the operations being normal) with 4 missions, and the last one is a behind enemy lines/desperate get off the planet extraction with a high reward incentive.
Throughout the 3 missions of the operation, you have a set number of reinforcements for the whole thing (ie start with 50 - 60 or something). This reinforcement count, along with the number of samples you collect, carries forward through each of the 3 operations. If you run out of reinforcements, you lose all samples collected from the previous ones, and any medals you may have won. If you get to the end of the third and you aren't happy with where your count is, you may wanna consider getting out of dodge and not doing the next part.
Once you clear the 3 missions, you have the option to complete the operation and it's back to the super destroyer, or take a 4th one which is "behind enemy lines" (I dunno, something like that, outside of super destroyer coverage would be more applicable). You push through to an area which is exceedingly rich in samples, but also maintains the high number of patrols currently seen in game (which I understand they are working on reducing as standard) or a similar degree of ramped up challenge. You have no stratagems on this mission, but your first objective is to go and repair a massive walker which was ditched there (yep, this is a VERY unrealistic idea, but screw it it's just for fun). Once you have activated the repair procedure and defended the walker during it, the walker will escort you to a platform where it will allow an extract (think of a lore friendly reason here, it turns into a hellpod cannon or something in conjunction with the platform where it aims you into orbit somewhere where the destroyer can pick y'all up).
This walker is your stratagem replacement. It's stratagems replenish quickly and it's got a hefty arsenal (come to think of it this sounds very similar to gunship coverage from those COD games which introduced it), but of course you would need to coordinate with your team pretty efficiently on these shared stratagems, and you would also all be pretty keen to stay within range of this support as the hordes are attracted by your giant escort which you will need to liberate the launch platform and to escape. You are essentially defending the walker as much as it is defending you through use of these stratagems and your team coordination. (yes, it would require a ridiculous amount of coordination, I know there is a lot of reasons how this could go wrong in how you feel about the game, and a few great moments of cooperation hopefully).
If you manage to extract at this point, you'll be treated to all those lovleh samples and a stage 4 medal reward. It's a high risk, high reward decision to be made embarking on this one, and for the first 3 missions you would be incentivized to play things efficiently and make a lot of decisions which affect the long game of when you need to confront the "do we attempt level 4?" decision. You would also need to make sure your stratagem loadout across the team covers all the bases for the whole operation. I don't now how weighty that decision would be considering how much we all take the same stuff when we play with a set squad. It saddens me I can't think of a way to make this random friendly without people using mics for now.
I know it's a bit more of a hardcore mode which may take some of the more slapstick fun away, but it would be cool to have as an optional aside in my opinion, despite all the issues I know such a mode could face.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

2024.05.14 18:34 pondering__starlight AI in Mexico in September with 1 year old?

My husband and I (both in our early 30s) are looking to do a trip in September with our daughter who will be 14 months at that point. I had some questions I was hoping people might be able to answer, especially those who have taken young kids before. We haven't decided on a location.
  1. How is the climate during that time of year? I know it's the rainy season but is it likely to rain often?Are there locations that are better than others? Will it be too buggy? Will it be too hot/humid for my toddler? We're Canadian so not used to that kind of weather.
  2. What areas/resorts do you recommend for her age? We'll likely spend the majority of the time with her but we may want to use babysitting services occasionally. I'm a nervous first time mom so I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be about it but any experiences would be appreciated. She's a pretty chill kid so far so i think she would be ok with it. We're mainly looking for somewhere that has great service, especially for very young kids, that has a kid/toddler pool/splash area and has baby necessities like cribs etc. It would be great if the food is good too. Our main goal on this trip is to just relax and have fun with our daughter. Our budget is around 5,000 CAD altogether with her having her own seat on the plane.
  3. Do you recommend visiting somewhere else instead of Mexico? We're even open to the U.S. but not looking for a Disneyland kind of thing as we want to wait until she can actually remember it and we just want a non stressful less crowded vacation. This is more an anniversary trip for us but as a family. We had a destination wedding in Maui pre-covid also in September and that's the only experience I have had traveling outside of Canada, my husband has done a lot more but he hasn't been to many resorts or tropical areas and not since he was a kid.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 18:15 TaskAggravating3224 First Time Studying Abroad

Hello studyAbroad,
I'm a college student majoring in comp-sci but focusing of game design. I have been working with my college study abroad coordinator for my application to study for the summer. The program is in England, but specifically in Oriel College, Oxford. Its a pity big deal for me since I'm going to be staying at one of the oldest colleges for just about two weeks. I wasn't really planing on going because of the college(I mean maybe a little), but because they're offering a class on AI.
My main concern is what would be the best advice and tips to be aware of. Not the usual essential items to pack or the best choice in airline. Just stuff like how I can make the most of my trip and enjoying the time I have. Two weeks might go by real quick but I still want to make the most of it. And it is my first time studying in another country so I just want to know what to look out for.

2024.05.14 18:14 bipolarbear2222 the “fun fact” no one needed!!!+ has anyone found travelling (especially on a plane/with a tine change) disrupts your cycle?

the “fun fact” no one needed!!!+ has anyone found travelling (especially on a plane/with a tine change) disrupts your cycle?
I’ve been tracking my cycle using the Stardust app for about 9 months now and I usually start my period within 3 days of when it predicts. I when to Mexico last month (6.5hr plane ride + 2 hour time difference) and was supposed to start my period the day after we flew back (~May 1st). Nothing else has changed in my routine and the app did say in one of these blurbs the other day that travelling does affect your cycle. I’m just curious to know others’ experience with travelling/how it effects your luteal phase/period. I feel like I’m stuck in a luteal purgatory rn and it’s awful lol- like I did NOT need to hear we spend 3500 days of our lives menstruating. also already took a pregnancy test because that factor was driving me mad. TLDR; what’s your experience with travel effecting your cycle? ✈️

2024.05.14 18:13 J-Red_dit The Good, The Bad, and The Curious

When you reach door 60 you can go through a crack wall and find yourself in a secret room that leads to The Rooms, a reference to a game of the same name that inspired Doors. When dying to an entity in this place, we are not greeted by Guiding Light (GL) but instead by the yellow Curious Light (CL). The behavior of CL is odd, it’s quite vague and generally less helpful than GL, but it does encourage the player to come back implying that it needs the players help for something. It is suspected that CL requires the player to be able to escape The Rooms because in the recent Backdoor update, upon leaving The Rooms or The Backdoor, the player exits through a doorframe covered in yellow cracks and stars.
Speaking of which, backtracking to Door 60 there is a painting that has no title of a large yellow star. It is suspected this star is a symbol that represents CL.
Processing img ofihp1mdaa0d1...
This painting hides more secrets however. Also in this room are 3 chairs placed together. As far as I remember, these chairs have always been in this room, and I thought of them as significant but with nothing to connect it to. This is no longer the case as of the modifiers update because now, if you enter this room with at least 1 modifier turned on, the painting changes to this:
Processing img 27omnf2taa0d1...
Two more symbols appear on the painting, one of a blue crescent moon, and one of the red modifier icon. If CL is connected to the star icon, then who is connected to the other two? The crescent moon is obviously Guiding Light, sharing the same blue color and the crescent moon icon appearing when using the crucifix. The modifier icon however doesn’t belong to a light we’ve met yet, they have however made appearances. But first I need to talk about what the lights are, and what they want. When a player uses the crucifix, one of the symbols that appears is a closed string of wingdings, which when translated and put through a Caeser cipher translates to, “One Of The Three Architects Marked By Celestials Assists You”. Three architects, three icons, three chairs, three lights. So the lights are referred to as architects, but what does this mean? Game Theory believes the reason they are called Architects is the lights have the ability to change the layout of The Hotel, and GL uses this ability to turn The Hotel into a labyrinth keeping the hostile entities trapped inside.
In The Hotel the players goal is to make it to Door 100. The reason for this isn’t clear, but I speculate that in the upcoming Mines update there is some kind of escape from The Hotel for the player. Guiding Light seems to support the player in this endeavor, remembering the past deaths of players, which suggests that death itself is not an escape from The Hotel. El Goblino mentions other humans he has seen attempting to reach Door 100, so I believe that humans who become trapped in The Hotel need to reach The Mines in order to escape, and every time they die they reappear at the beginning of The Hotel and GL assists them each time. GL assists the player by glowing in certain areas to highlight them, items like the candle and the crucifix to defend against the enemies, and of course providing tips for dealing with the entities upon death. Finally I believe the rift in the Electrical Room that stores items to be used in another run is another power of GL (which is important later). Curious Light as already mentioned is less helpful than GL but nonetheless needs the player’s help in The Rooms. In the Backdoor update CL seems more acquainted with the player and more inclined to help, giving better tips, providing Starlight Vials with his star icon, and placing the levers in The Backdoor to keep Haste at bay further supporting the lights ability to change The Hotel as the Architects.
But what about the third architect, represented by the red modifier icon? With the evidence I have gathered, I believe this architect is a malevolent entity allied with the hostile entities. In a post by they suggest looking at the painting like a coordinate plane, with GL’s icon falling in the Positive, Positive section suggesting to symbolize GL as a force of good, CL falling dead center to symbolize neutrality, both of which makes a lot of sense given their personalities, and finally the modifier icon falling into the Negative, Negative section symbolizing our final architect as a force of evil. How do we prove this? First let’s look at the modifiers themselves, since this light is clearly connected to them. The modifiers are able to control the entities behavior, affect The Hotel, and even disable Guiding Light! This isn’t the only instance of modifiers affecting GL either, when modifiers are turned on GL is not present to give tips on the entities and the biggest piece of evidence suggesting rivalry between this architect and GL is that the more modifiers are turned on, the SMALLER GL’s icon gets in the painting.

Next we have the red barrier that blocks access to The Rooms when modifiers are turned on. We know this is an ability of the Architects because CL does the same thing for The Backdoor until players reach The Rooms for the first time. Why would the Red Light do this? I speculate it is because it (and GL) don’t have much control over areas like The Rooms or The Backdoor since you can’t use modifiers in those areas.
Finally I want to look at the Tower Heroes collab event. While the event itself is not canon to the lore, I want to point out an interesting detail from this event. When playing a Doors-themed level you typically are assisted by GL giving tips in between each wave of enemies. CL also makes an appearance in this event in Adventure mode giving hints to the secret Void boss fight. However, one particular Weekly Challenge during that event called, “Hotel Visitors” had the player assume the role of Figure defending the Library. This time, instead of GL giving tips we are assisted by something speaking in RED text, which the community referred to as Mischievous Light. They could have just as easily made GL talk during this challenge but they specifically chose to replace GL with something else. Not only that, they gave this Mischievous Light some personality, referring to the enemies as “trespassers”. It just fits so perfectly that I can’t help but believe it to be intentional.
Processing img tsy0yrfpka0d1...
Now that I’ve thoroughly explained the Red Light/Mischievous Light (ML), let’s circle back to Curious Light. Going back to the Door 60 painting, there is one more detail I’d like to discuss, and that is the fact that CL’s icon is much larger than GL’s or ML’s. I believe this is a representation of how powerful each Architect actually is. This is supported by GL’s icon shrinking when the player adds more modifiers, suggesting that they weaken GL. Furthermore GL and ML seem to possess a different set of powers, while CL seems to possess it’s own unique powers as well being able to replicate the other Architect’s. Like GL, Curious Light does glow on the entrance to and exits from The Rooms, and if we use the Bottle of Starlight bought at the end of The Backdoor on GL’s rift, it creates a second yellow rift. We don’t currently have any more similar powers between CL and ML besides the barriers they both create but I believe ML doesn’t consider CL an enemy like it does with GL (more on that in a second). Finally, only CL seems to be able to affect The Rooms and The Backdoor.
When dying to Blitz for the first time in The Backdoor we are greeted by Curious Light who drops a very strange detail:
Processing img oea3ahgdja0d1...
We haven’t met anyone in The Hotel that’s been confirmed to be female so who could Curious Light be referring to here? The identity of this character is not yet clear, but the first candidate that people have suspected is Guiding Light, and sure on the surface that makes sense; they’re both Architects and we’ve seen them both talk but not necessarily to each other. But upon further inspection it doesn’t make sense for GL to be this character for one specific reason: the fact that this character decided to give Blitz a name. According to dialogue from GL and a tweet from the devs, the names of the entities in The Hotel were given by the player, NOT GL. If other humans have been to The Hotel then GL has been there for some time and has never bothered to give the entities names, so why would it start now? You know who’s more likely to give these entities names? Mischievous Light, the architect supposedly allied with these entities. This belief is shared by Game Theory, which I was super excited to see in their most recent theory.
So what is ML up to talking with CL? I believe that ML wants CL and possibly the player to join them. If CL is the most powerful architect and has dominion over The Rooms and The Backdoor, they would be a great ally to have. But what about the player? As we’ve discussed, despite CL’s power, they need the player’s help to access other areas, and in The Mines possibly will exist an escape from The Hotel that ONLY the player has the ability to open. If we take the Tower Heroes collab into consideration, ML initially sees players as “trespassers” and wants the entities to kill them. However, what if the modifiers are a test by ML to evaluate the player’s usefulness? Furthermore, not all modifiers are bad and actually make the game easier, so while ML definitely sees GL as an enemy, it may not be the same case for CL and the player. I speculate that Mischievous Light’s ultimate goal is to use the player to help the entities escape The Hotel, bringing death and destruction to whatever unfortunate world awaits behind the exit door.
But that’s just a theory, a DOORS THEORY! Thanks for reading!

2024.05.14 18:12 J-Red_dit The Good, The Bad, and The Curious

When you reach door 60 you can go through a crack wall and find yourself in a secret room that leads to The Rooms, a reference to a game of the same name that inspired Doors. When dying to an entity in this place, we are not greeted by Guiding Light (GL) but instead by the yellow Curious Light (CL). The behavior of CL is odd, it’s quite vague and generally less helpful than GL, but it does encourage the player to come back implying that it needs the players help for something. It is suspected that CL requires the player to be able to escape The Rooms because in the recent Backdoor update, upon leaving The Rooms or The Backdoor, the player exits through a doorframe covered in yellow cracks and stars.
Speaking of which, backtracking to Door 60 there is a painting that has no title of a large yellow star. It is suspected this star is a symbol that represents CL.
Processing img ofihp1mdaa0d1...
This painting hides more secrets however. Also in this room are 3 chairs placed together. As far as I remember, these chairs have always been in this room, and I thought of them as significant but with nothing to connect it to. This is no longer the case as of the modifiers update because now, if you enter this room with at least 1 modifier turned on, the painting changes to this:
Processing img 27omnf2taa0d1...
Two more symbols appear on the painting, one of a blue crescent moon, and one of the red modifier icon. If CL is connected to the star icon, then who is connected to the other two? The crescent moon is obviously Guiding Light, sharing the same blue color and the crescent moon icon appearing when using the crucifix. The modifier icon however doesn’t belong to a light we’ve met yet, they have however made appearances. But first I need to talk about what the lights are, and what they want. When a player uses the crucifix, one of the symbols that appears is a closed string of wingdings, which when translated and put through a Caeser cipher translates to, “One Of The Three Architects Marked By Celestials Assists You”. Three architects, three icons, three chairs, three lights. So the lights are referred to as architects, but what does this mean? Game Theory believes the reason they are called Architects is the lights have the ability to change the layout of The Hotel, and GL uses this ability to turn The Hotel into a labyrinth keeping the hostile entities trapped inside.
In The Hotel the players goal is to make it to Door 100. The reason for this isn’t clear, but I speculate that in the upcoming Mines update there is some kind of escape from The Hotel for the player. Guiding Light seems to support the player in this endeavor, remembering the past deaths of players, which suggests that death itself is not an escape from The Hotel. El Goblino mentions other humans he has seen attempting to reach Door 100, so I believe that humans who become trapped in The Hotel need to reach The Mines in order to escape, and every time they die they reappear at the beginning of The Hotel and GL assists them each time. GL assists the player by glowing in certain areas to highlight them, items like the candle and the crucifix to defend against the enemies, and of course providing tips for dealing with the entities upon death.

But what about the third architect, represented by the red modifier icon? With the evidence I have gathered, I believe this architect is a malevolent entity allied with the hostile entities. In a post by u/BoeEye they suggest looking at the painting like a coordinate plane, with GL’s icon falling in the Positive, Positive section suggesting to symbolize GL as a force of good, CL falling dead center to symbolize neutrality, both of which makes a lot of sense given their personalities, and finally the modifier icon falling into the Negative, Negative section symbolizing our final architect as a force of evil.

Greenland was an awesome place to fly!
Recently took a trip to Greenland which involved an almost 4 hour flight from Reykjavik to Nuuk (and back). Plus a 1 hour domestic flight from Sisimiut to Nuuk during a small snowstorm.
All flights were on the Dash 8 200 with 37 seats. The planes were all about 26/27 years old too.
And the pilots let me into the cockpit during the flight which is always fun

Genuine question: Any reason why the Yak-23 is still 8.7 after all these years?

I get it, this thing was busted a few years ago but how is it supposed to keep up with other 8.7 planes (won't even talk about uptiers, fighting F-104's is fun)
Even the La-15 is better in most aspects than this thing, and it's 8.0 ;-;

2024.05.14 17:19 ALTR_Airworks Weird torque in aircraft analysis (Ansys CFX)

I`m trying to analyze pitch torque of aircraft. I ususally do a stability analysis via XFLR5 and then compare with Ansys. The lift and drag values are the same, when accounted for the fuselage. The shape of the graphs etc is consistent, but the torque values are way off. Like 1000% off. I made sure my coordinate systems for torque are OK. Both forces and torques are collected as force_x()@Default Domain Default. I ran mesh sensitivity studies and found that 1-1.5 mln nodes is enough for the values to be independent from mesh. I even tested the approach on an RC plane design I know is stable and flyable. XFLR5 says its stable, ansys says its not. What should i check? Meshing? viscid/inviscid analysis? What wall type must the aircraft surface be? slip or no slip? I`m assuming the surface is smooth. The fluid domain is about 5 times bigger than the aircraft in every direction. The problem manifests itself the same way with different geometries of aircraft. I will be glad for any help and hints.

2024.05.14 16:48 Loud_Skirt_7421 What's my type?

I am new to this mbti and enneagram stuff, but I did look into cognitive functions a bit but I still am not sure which fit me, it might be because I am still pretty new. This is mostly a hobby for when I am bored and want to think, because I like to play with outside systems like this.
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
I am 16 years old, male , just your average quiet teenager that sucks at introspecting and wants to look cool to others yet does nothing to impress others (other than looks)
that sounded oddly specific.,.....
whatever
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
not really, not that I know of..
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
I grew up in a poor family (duh), then just like your average adult couple they divorce, usually I'd stay a lot with my mother and she would teach me about morals which I now see some as stupid but either way I kind of "took" her morals and my dad's too. Kind of had to grew up early and take care of my smaller brother by substituting being a dad , and I have a lot of influence over my brother , and we would switch places a lot but the only comfort I had was in games, interacting with others on the games ,making fun of others and overall having a good time being accepted
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
At the moment I have no job, I do karate and I could teach others but I don't have the stuff necessary like: a place to train others, I am not at the highest level yet, customers and this is mostly the main things.
But I would really like to continue on this path of gym and karate since I already have an edge and kind of be under someone's wing to help me
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
Mostly depends, on my mood sometimes I despise being alone and feel miserable being alone with my thoughts(and is mostly why I spend a lot of time on my computer despite not wanting to do so) or if the people in my circle kind of make me have a bad time then I would want to withdraw and get my energy back , usually I am very loud after I get comfortable with the other person and know what they are capable of
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
Like I said above I do Karate , I recently reached the brown belt ( YIPPPIE me) and me and the outdoors have a bad history but as of now I prefer to have a balance of both but mostly I would like to focus on real life things, especially when it comes to careers
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
I am not too curious of stuff that is deep , it makes me feel miserable, but usually I get random questions sometimes and it makes me search , but not too deep into it just enough to have the idea cause I see no point in diving deeper. Usually when I even get these questions is from either talking out loud or just looking around me so it's mostly environmental (I think not too sure of this)
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
The only time I like leading is when I have knowledge and know I am the best to do it, if someone else is better then I'll let them do their thing but usually I wouldn't fully obey them I would kind of give some counter-arguments if there is room for some.
Even when I lead, others do listen to me and usually I am confident in doing it, kind of like that one quote of Sun Tzu:" Go to war only if you know you will win" , which my friend told me recently.
As for the style not too sure what it would really reference, but I would say I think of people as cogs in the machine
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
Not too sure what to say on the "coordination" part but I for sure love working with my hands, especially when I cook for myself or others, and like I already mentioned I do karate so of course I like practicing with my hands improving my technique
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
no I am not artistic at all , I don't really look into it at all since I don't consider it worthwhile but as a kid I did like drawing cause I was good at it and I got recognition for my drawings from other classmates and that would fuel me to make me like drawing cause the teacher liked it, others too and yeah.. Untill it kind of stopped receving the feedback and such
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
I don't like to think of the past too much , especially when I think of myself, it's mostly negative things but I try to see the bright side of what I've achieved and such, because I wasn't healthy (even now I feel like I am not healthy but it's clearly better), I used to be chubby kind of fat , and before getting into karate I did handball where we trained physical condition and other things , and we had to do sit ups but due to me being fat I couldn't and others looked at me and started joking even the trainer and because of that I quit..
The present could be good but I am indifferent towards it I don't really work towards anything specific I like to remain a little reactive and eventually get help from others into shaping my future life.
And like I said I try to remain reactive of the present, I don't like planning too far ahead because it could be too early to plan and there might be more to do
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
I don't get asked for help frequently but it's either I help the person because I see they are struggling or they asked me and it goes two ways: 1. I agree and do the job or 2. I tell them "no" and go back to what I was doing (eventually feeling guilty I didn't help but I don't like being used for other's advantage)
• Do you need logical consistency in your life?
Yeah , it's pretty important people shouldn't only run on feelings but kind of fit some systems into some kind of framework, not really think about it 24/7, but make sense of it that is how I like to do it.
Even with this system of cognitive functions I try to understand it but sometimes it's a bit too abstract, I prefer more practical examples to fully understand the idea behind it
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Not too much but not too less, usually I prefer it to not be feeling sad that I am "closed off somewhere" and not doing something, isolated from the world , especially with no computer atleast to go on the internet and joke around and chill with others(but of on a common task or else I will mind my business).
But I strive to be efficient in what I do over time , even if it's for a game that is pointless
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
Simply no, I never was able to do this exactly , well maybe after I get to know the person a bit and see what they could do.... but I am not.
Also just read what controlling others mean , and I could see myself taking charge and just doing everything myself....
But I still feel like I don't, but I can see how I could, but I won't because I don't have the skill and it wouldn't be good
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
Well probably just ,out of boredoom, playing games but not a wide variety which gets boring quick but familiarity bias is a thing.. and doing karate which energizes me almost everytime and anytime even if I don't feel like it and force myself. I just like when it goes well with others it and being liked by others, energizes me
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
To be honest I didn't really pay attention to how I learn I just learn to get good grades in school and make it, yeah not too much here but I struggle with things that don't really add up to me or I don't see the logic behind
Usually I don't need explanations from the teacher I kind of tend to see the logic behind everything mostly without asking much information since some subjects have systems that are easily to juggle with(like math but I sometimes struggle with calculating in my head)
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
I try to simplify strategizing, yes having a plan in depth is good but people for sure won't like if you are gonna stick to one rigid plan , which is why you have to make it kind of like a team thing even if I do make a rigid plan I try to make it sound simple and to the point based of data that others and I know, even making decision off the data my group knows
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
Probably to feel happy I achieved something and doing something in the outside world, eventually influencing others
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
Mostly personal stuff , and emotional situations, my emotional inteligence is bad and I am bad at emotions too, atleast handling the emotions of others, but sometimes I try to let them vent to me and help them a bit and try to be empathetic even tho I don't show it too much, mostly I show it through acting tho
• What do the "highs" in your life look like?
Positive outlook on life, relationships are well but I don't worry about them too much unless there is an obvious problem and really liking to hang around others, and especially having something going on for myself
• What do the "lows" in your life look like?
the first thing that comes to my mind is: withrdawn, melancholy and just starting to critique everyone in my head but not really telling them, yeah sometimes I may start bluntly joking about other's and stuff and even situtations, I try to poke fun and when it kind of fails I feel like withdrawing from others since it doesn't work Melancholy litteraly makes me feel miserable about everything, mostly makes me feel depressed. I do tend to feel it often but I try to supress it trough doing things, like playing on the computer , youtube and such (everyone does this to some extent)
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
I find myself daydreaming when bored and not really anything is going on but I do tend to be mindful of what others do in case they try to harm me...
But even if I daydream it's mostly about what everything could have been, kind of like what I could have done or what I could do and how it would end up/ ended up, but it does happen quite a lot
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
Not too sure if I would ever get there but thinking out loud here so , probably about some random stuff in my head unrelated to my situations untill one thought hits close to home and I go into some deeper stuff , and usually when I get deeper into things I tend to feel miserable, my friend (who is INTJ btw) said that my negative depressing thoughts that I hate match the thinking of the philosophy of "Nihilism" which is kind of true....
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
I try and not stay too long on it but sometimes I might run back and forth if I am not too sure, but I try to stay decisive , because being indecisive a lot is bad..
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
I kind of look down on emotions , yes I feel them but I just tend to ignore and repress them sometimes, but I vent to closer friends from time to time, but this is mostly because my parents would misinterpret my emotions...
My mom would just over moralify everything and bring it to a stupid extreme which is unrelated..
and My dad would just make fun of them , but sometimes he would give me spot on answers which are exactly what I need
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
Not really , even if I do it's in a way to shut off the conversation, because I don't like having conversation with no point
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
I don't really mind rules , but I don't pay attention to them too much(because no need to worry if you don't go out of your way to try something that could count as "breaking the rules") mostly to the general ones which could punish you very harshly but overtime they could be exploited and I do that when I am confident I won't be caught or it won't punish me
I also took the mbti test from Michael Caloz site (I saw people doing this one a lot so I figured I might give it a try for this post :D)
statistics of functions
the top result (followed by ESTP and then ESTJ, in that order)
I saw other posts also mentioning this, and I figured I would too
I took this test a bit rushed cause I needed to do something..

3 month global pass trip - trying to make the most out of it
I wanted to make a post like this for a long time and share with this community my map to show you what is possible and thank everyone in here. I couldn't have made this ambitious journey with all of its struggles without the help provided in here.
I divided my journey into 2 stints:
Stint 1: 20 days - starting in southwest Germany I took the regional train to Switzerland where I took most of the scenic rides to make it to Italy. From there I visited cities alongside the Mediterranean til Faro, from where I returned by plane back home.
Stint 2: 40 days - I took the TGV to Paris and the Eurostar to London. With two more flights I explored the rest of the british Islands and moved on to Belgium and the Netherlands - a paradise in for train travellers - just to use one of my in/outbound days and pass through train traveller hell in Germany. I entered Scandinavia and went all the way up to the Lofoten Islands (ferry for free) and experienced the midnight sun. Over Helsinki and the Baltics I made ot to Poland. Over Prague I took the 2nd in/outbound train. In all of my journey, I only got stuck twice because of railway chaos, it was on both those days in Germany. I visited the Dolomites and Venice for a day each to make it iver Slovenia to Vienna. From there I took the usual road over the capitals to Istanbul. My pass expired with a few days left. I then made it with all types of means of transportation to Kosovo, where I stayed for a while afterwards with my relatives. My Odyssey ended there.
33 countries, 150 trains, 20 000km (half the equator)
I bought my pass in the 2022 sale, so I paid 339€ for a 3 months pass. After that, I spent only around 2400€ (40€ avg a day). I travelled alone, booked the cheapest airbnbs/hostels/hotels I could find along the way and embraced full flexibility. I obviously couldn't do everything in every country as I often stayed only 1 or 2 days, so I mixed my activities, if I visited a waterfall one day I would go to a museum in the next place and do something different anywhere else. I walked up to 40km a day and spent most of the time taking pictures with my camera. I may not always had the opportunity to explore fancy foreign cousine, but I really like grocery shopping and trying all sorts of local stuff, that's the cheapest anyway.
After having a 40l bag in the 1st stint, I travelled on my 2nd one only with a 24l backpack (and a gym bag to carry additional stuff that couldn't fot in like food etc). I went by the rule of 4 - 4 shirts - 4 pants (1 long, rest shots) - 4 underpants - 4 pair of socks. A sweatjacket and a thin rainjacket, some trailrunners, caps. I got lucky with the weather as I had the best weather possible during the summer, some heat, but especially in the north it was perfect.
Fun Fact: I actually spent the least money per day in Switzerland an Norway.
Reasons: - Switzerland was at the start, so I relied mostly on food from home, but I had luck with some special offers, like a McD Big Mac Menu for only 1CHF or fries for free at BK the next day. - Most trains are free and have no add. fees, the network is great - Cheap hostels here have a great quality and offer you a lot - also I was in the transition of winter and summer season in Switzerland, so in a youth hostel with 49 beds I was the only guest.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I may have took some unconventional routes or decisions. Some borders are really difficult to pass, as information or frequent links are lacking. But an around the continent in 80 (even 60) days is possible!

2024.05.14 16:09 QuietEnjoyer What is this shit? Nomad was cool until meme play

I'm a huge fan of nomad games, it's fun to go around looking for your best spot and sometimes find some great spots. Also, in 2vs2, you can coordinate better. It adds something different every time. In 8vs8 you could be very far away and safe or very close to lots of players. It's fun.
Why the hell lately, anyone is just doing meme play? Few examples:
- 8vs8 people fighting for the same spot making a cringe villager vs villager fight which is going to end in both player loosing very, very soon. What's the point?
- 1vs1 games where people don't make TC but a barracks and just rushes you while you're still building the TC. What is this shit?
- 1vs1 people just building TC right in front of yours just to deploy their defensive age up building in your base. WTF.
Also, why always English players are doing this shitty play? Is there something in the CIV that just makes you want to ruin the day of your enemies. Not win, just ruin their day. I get it, just quit and retry, but when it happens 6 times in a row then wtf
I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but am I the only one experiencing these shitty moves? Furthermore, I'm sincerely thinking about not going again nomad, which is a pity really

2024.05.14 15:56 blueberrycutiepie I'm not sure if I (25F) should initiate again or wait for him (28M) to?

I (25F) matched with this guy (28M) on a dating app in January. He lives a few states away from me, it's a 2-3 hour plane ride. We were chatting here and there for a month and in February, I told him I wanted to meet him in the middle and we chose a spot. He said he was down and I said we should call first to talk about details. I sort of initiated the call a week later and we talked about flights and accomodations and I asked him when he wanted to actually book stuff and he said we could the next weekend. We said we would do the end of March.
The next weekend rolls around and I'm making casual chit-chat with him and he leaves me on read. I reach out again a couple weeks later and we talk again and he doesn't bring up booking tickets or the plans. Then April rolls around and he makes a comment about something we can do when we meet. I ask him if he's still down to and he says he is and that we could do late April. Around the first week of April, he leaves me on read and I sent him an iMessage game (for fun) and he doesn't reply to that either (he usually does).
At this point, I'm annoyed because, even though the plans weren't concrete/finalized, don't say things if you can't follow through. So I blocked him on social media and deleted his number. He reached out and said hi to me last week so we've been chatting again but neither of us brought up the potential plans we made to meet. Should I ask him if he still wants to sometime or wait for him to bring it up at this point?

2024.05.14 15:44 cornellian1234 WIBTA for not visiting my girlfriend this summer?

This summer my (26M) girlfriend (25F) is doing a 3-month internship at a company a few states away (a little over 300 miles from where we are now). It takes over 5 hours to drive there and it’s in somewhat of a remote location so transportation via train/bus/plane would take about twice as long due to lack of direct route/transfers/etc. I’m happy for her because she’s excited about the internship and is going to be staying with her aunt who lives in that area, close to the company where she’ll be working. On the other hand, I’m disappointed because it’s going to be tough to visit her. I’m about to start a new job, and I expect to be working about 60+ hours a week, with the need to study and prepare for an important professional exam on the weekends and during my time outside of work. Because of my work schedule, the most time that I’d be able to spend visiting her would be only over a weekend (Fri night-Sun). Driving 5+ hours both ways while having to spend a good portion of the day on Sat & Sun studying seems like it would leave only a little bit of time for us to actually spend time with and hang out for each other. My girlfriend had the option of doing the internship at a location close-by (in the same city/general area) that we both live in, but decided that it would be fun to do it somewhere new and spend the summer staying with her aunt. Im happy for her and would love to visit and spend time with them if I could take a few days off from work/not have to study on the weekend, but my unfortunately rigid schedule and constraints on my time make it seem tough to be able to pull off visiting her. WIBTA for not visiting her during the internship this summer?
(Posting for a friend without a Reddit account. Imo he WBTA if he never visited and he should visit at least once, but he wants to see what the people think)

2024.05.14 15:41 Alternative_Grape771 Post Wedding Regrets - advice for letting go and moving on

Hi all!
This is a first time post and I'd really appreciate any insight from others who had post wedding regrets... I'm really struggling with our day and it's so disheartening for me and my husband.
In short: we planned an outdoor, destination wedding but were unlucky enough to have rain the entire weekend. The rain spun me out so much and triggered so much anxiety that I didn't interact and greet my guests like I wanted to. I am left feeling like I have disappointed everyone and they regret even making the effort to come to our wedding.
Does anyone have any advice or words on how they dealt with a similar experience?
Full story:
The Background: We are expats; I'm Irish, he is from the UK and we met in The Netherlands. We both decided to have our wedding abroad because we didn't feel it was right to choose one location over the other so we opted for the beautiful Portugal. About a year before the wedding, he was offered a job in Sweden so we relocated 6 months before our wedding date (another big undertaking).
Destination weddings always cause some rumblings but in our case, there wasn't really a location to choose that would keep everyone happy so we wanted to make it a little city break so people could really get something extra from the weekend.
The week of the wedding: Well, if you hadn't guessed already: it poured with rain the days before and after our planned outdoor wedding. (The sun did come out by Monday so anyone staying longer did get to experience some sunshine but most people only stayed Friday - Monday morning).... We had to opt for a Plan B and convert to indoors... but I was so spun out by the rain and the guilt of disappointed guests that I really wasn't fully present to greet them the days before. I went into total panic mode. The guilt was so overwhelming that I found it very awkward to talk to a lot of my guests. Of course, I tried to put on a brave face and I hugged them and thanked them for coming...
We had a meetup the night before the wedding. This was supposed to be outdoors in a square with lots of bars but we switched to the hotel. In a panic move, I put 1000EUR behind the bar as a gesture for the guests.
The Wedding Day: On the actual day, I was still a bit shell-shocked and couldn't really enjoy the morning getting ready. My poor bridesmaids didn't know what to do and the whole getting ready experience was a pretty silent affair.
Thankfully, I came around a few hours before the ceremony and realized I had to accept it for what it is. My partner during all this was keeping everything jolly and light and making jokes about the weather.
Walking down the aisle was actually really fun and I loved seeing him there waiting for me. We had a short, informal ceremony given by a friend of my husbands.
After the ceremony, we started with a receiving line but we were ushered to a different location by the venue coordinator and unfortunately, the receiving line kind of fell apart at that stage.
While I have vague memories of hugging people, I really don't remember if I got everybody.
Then the rest of the day is a bit of a blur. I started to do table visits but didn't get very far and then I just remember my husband telling me that he had gotten me a plate of food and that I should sit down and eat...
The rest of the night was spent dancing but not really socializing properly.
We had put on a free bar, BBQ with great food, a band and a DJ.
Families: My husbands family are more introvert and quiet and didn't socialize very well during the wedding. they didn't even congratulate him (there is a complex relationship there)... his mum became upset at the dinner table and started crying and then she left the top table to sit with her friend.
My family are more sociable but my dad is a drinker and he gets quite selfish when he drinks so he upset my mum and me to the point where I told him not to do a speech (he didn't want to anyways so he didn't protest)
The next day: The following day we also invited people to our villa but it lashed rain again and so guests were in separate villas with me running between the two, and again, not really socializing properly.
Now: I am struggling with extreme shame and embarrassment that I threw a terrible wedding and that I was a bad host. I've barely heard anything from guests since and I really would like some advice on how to acknowledge my regret but also maintain some level of positivity with guests.
My poor husband is so gutted that I feel this way about our special day and I want to be able to accept the regrets and move on but I am stuck in a loop.
Does anyone have any similar experience hear and can offer some advice?

2024.05.14 15:27 como365 Swarm chasers help preserve precious bees as valuable pollinators

“It can be intimidating to see a swarm of bees the size of your house,” swarm chaser Carl Korschgen said, “but they are actually less aggressive than when they’re in a hive, by a factor of ten.”
Korschen, who has been keeping bees since 2009, belongs to the Boone Regional Beekeeping Association. The group coordinates classes for beekeepers of all experience levels that outline how to start a hive, catch a swarm and follow safety protocols such as wearing proper protective equipment to avoid accidental stings.
The association held a swarm-catching class April 21 in Korschgen’s barn.
“Catching swarms for me is just as fun as catching a lunkermouth bass,” Korschen said.
Members of the Boone Regional Beekeeping Association, including Korschen, encourage trained individuals to catch their own bees.
“Catching swarms is beneficial to the bee population because research out of Cornell University indicates 90% of uncaught swarms won’t make it through the next winter,” he said.
Christina Todd, who keeps bees at Todd Farms, said the size of swarms can vary based on time of year.
“A primary swarm early in the season is usually 10,000 bees. Secondary swarms later on usually are about 5,000,” Todd said. “If disease strikes or the queen is failing, the whole hive might leave and not come back.”
Swarming starts in early April in mid-Missouri. Bees wake up as warm weather moves in, but producing a new queen can take between 18 and 21 days.
“The bees need a new queen,” Todd added. “Without the queen, there’s nothing for them. They won’t move.”
While some people might panic when they see a swarm and race to exterminate the bees, calling someone to catch the swarm could preserve the insects and protect the environment, while still removing the uninvited inhabitants quickly.
“The big thing for me is that bees are responsible for pollinating about 80% to 90% of our food,” Todd said.
If a homeowner sees a swarm, Korschgen and Todd recommend going to the Boone Beekeeping Association website, finding the list of chasers and calling numbers on the list. The group meets the third Sunday of each month at 3 p.m. at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

2024.05.14 15:07 I_enjoy_greatness A fun technique to picking a game to play from a larger collection

So my wife's boyfriend and I came up with a fun way to pick what solo gsme I get to play while he "talks to her in private" side note, I don't know what they talk about, but she must agree with him a lot because I always hear her screaming "fuck yeah!" and "yes! Yes!! YES!!!!!"
So to pick the solo game, I spin a giant wheel that gives me some coordinates. I go to one of the 50 different geo cache spots, I have assorted dice in each one. I roll those, and the result firms a ancient Messopotania riddle. I solve that, and go home and look at Patchwork Halloween edition, still in it's shrink wrap.
What do you guys do to decide what game you play?
