Seeking grief-based therapy for a 12 year old - what to expect?
2024.05.14 03:52 whatsyournovember Seeking grief-based therapy for a 12 year old - what to expect?
Hi everyone, my dad passed away during covid lockdowns due to a sudden heart attack back in 2021. Our household is currently me (19F), mum, my sis and grandma. My sister was 9.5 years old. She was in denial for a long time, and then her grief showed through severe anxiety at night, separation anxiety from me (her older sister) and she'll randomly start crying. She also has an OCD thing, health anxiety for us, and gets emotional veryyyy quickly.
My therapist had another therapist (I'll call her E) interning at her clinic, and she got E to take care of my sis. She was okay at the start, it wasnt very productive as it took a long time for my sister to warm up. My therapist gets reports back from E about the sessions. I then expressed to my T about how E became very flaky, forgetting sessions were scheduled very easily, and treating the job / my sister as an after thought and my sis felt like a burden. My T communciated the feedback politely to E. After that, E stopped her post-sessions updates with my mum, and has become dismissive. For instance, my sister gets anxious and angry whenever she's tapped and if it's in an unbalanced/uneven way. When she told E this (which took her a lot of prep and she was so ashamed about it, poor thing), E just said 'why do you feel like that' and sis said 'idk' and E said 'well if you don't know then (trailed off sentence and moved on to the next topic)...
I was so annoyed. She's been very dismissive like this. And she's barely given space for my sister to explore her grief/guide her w coping mechanisms. All she's learnt to this day is the box breathing technique and keeping a daily journal.
Am I expecting too much from child therapy? My sister rlly rlly needs help (esp w daylight savings over, the darkness makes her very emotional) and I don't know what to do. Thank you

2024.05.14 01:57 IsopodMysterious9125 Help creating a joint bank account in Nordea
Hi! Has anyone here ever created a joint account in Nordea with their non-Nordea account holder spouse ? đ« I am currently in the process of moving in with my girlfriend who herself has an account in S-Pankki while I have an account in Nordea. The purpose of this account would be that we both would contribute to our shared expenses via this like rent/groceries etc.
I reached out to Nordea online chat support for help on this but the person on there seemed to be struggling to explain the process to me (I presume he was using some translator to answer my questions as the sentences he was making many times didnât make any sense a lot of the time đ„Č) and Nordea doesnât have any English page on this particular topic (or maybe I havenât seen it ???)
From what I have dug around it should be possible for me to âcreate an accountâ (idk which kind of account though - savings ? Current ? I have a huge disdain for banking services except when I need them so apologies for being stupid in this regard) and then give my girlfriend power of attorney once she has somehow created a relationship with my bank via her own s-pankki. Is this correct or am I missing anything ? Any advice will be very helpful!
I am also open to opening accounts in other banks if there would be clear benefit in using those instead đ. So let your good tips flow!

2024.05.14 01:55 4th_times_a_charm_ How to be an effective encoder...?
I'm trying to be less reserved around people. I've turned off my mental filter (mostly), I'm consistent with expressing interest; but I suck at talking.
I have a few issues.
1) how do you know what to say. If someone asks how your weekend was, do you have what you're going to say ready ahead of time, are you so enthralled with the weekend that it's already on your mind, or is my active recall shit? I never know what to talk about.
2) I don't know when to speak. Some people go silent after they say something so you can talk at any time but others have short pauses between sentences. Even if I have something to say, I can't get a word in without interrupting them. How long should you wait to speak after the other person?
3) Even if I have something to say and time to say it... now I feel like I'm just being a narcissist because my natural response is to try to build a connection by relating what they say to my own experience. If I talk about something related to the subject then it may sound like I'm not interested in the original topic.

2024.05.14 01:25 SargentReader Discussion about Watashitachi wa Moto Joshi desu (We are Former Girls) Chapter 10
A manga that I've been reading recently suddendly got a very bad take that I really want to share with some people online
For those who already know, the chapter was based around Claudia (Riko's mother) discussion about the topic that her girl is now a boy and her rejection to Riko's hrt for her sex reasignement... why? Because she thinks that Riko is not doing it by herself cause she is currently in love for a boy and her decissions must be affected by her teenager hearth...
Does this has the slightest sense? Riko lived her life entirelly has a girl, grow up as one and now her decision to go back to her normal self is being doubted by her mother (a mother that didnt saw her daughter in years) just because she is currently... in love? Sure she doesnt want to go back to a girl because it was part of her identity for her entire life, she just want to go back beacause she is in love... sure Claudia, sure...
Some people said that Claudia is doing this cause Riko wont be the same ever again... wich is a very weird way to manage WB, I mean, in this world you can instantaneously become in the oposite sex but the way to go back is the classic HRT and surgerys? No problem with that but in any case, even if its "not the same" thats shouldnt be a fundamental reason to deny the entire treatmemt, its more like a secondary effect in exchange for still being the you that you like and want
Not mentioning the VERY QUESTIONABLE sentences that Claudia said about transexualitty, describing it as basically, an artificial way to being a woman, it was very obvious that the author wanted to make her look as good as possible after those horrendous ways to treat her child (sayed by the own Riko) so he tried to fix the sitiation and make her being "more nice" with everyone in her famillu and added a melancolycal ending for her, which do not erase all the bad things she said before
Riko doesnt need more time to know, she already hated her body a lot, she wants to go to the swimmingpool with a bikini, she wants her old body back and she feels alienated with her own body as she showed us in the previous chapters, for me this was just a cheap way to make the narrative longer.... as a Trans Girl, I trully want that Riko go back to her normal self cause this will means that, despite the nature and society, she is the one who really decides about herself!

2024.05.14 01:01 MerkadoBarkada COMING UP: This week; PH: OGP 1st week; PH: BSP rate decision; PH: UBP SRO start; INT'L: US April inflation; OceanaGold falls 6% in 1st day of trading; CREIT, MREIT, and FILRT declare Q1 divs (Tuesday, May 14)
Happy Tuesday, Barkada --
The PSE gained 92 points to 6604 âČ1.4%
Shout-out to Atot for saving the Inside the Boardroom special [MB link] for their "lunch read" (at least it's not a porcelain chair?), to Trina Cerdenia for retweeting the ITB episode with highlights, to Tenkan Sen for noting the bloodbath that has been the recent (and even not-so-recent) IPO market, to Just'n for recognizing that in most cases a secondary IPO is for exit liquidity, to Enrico P. Villanueva for mentioning the ITB article as a jumping-off point for further research and analysis, to Jonathan Burac for providing interesting background on auditors and former-auditors as Independent Directors, to kalel.RON for having their mind blown by my reveal that I'm not Matteo Guidicelli (deep cut for the OGs), to Tirador for the straight-forward review ("pangit an ipo yan"), and to arkitrader for the Monday vibes GIF.Thanks also to the many readers who wrote in privately with praise, follow-up questions, and comments about yesterday's Inside the Boardroom special episode with OceanaGold PH's President, Joan Adaci-Cattiling. I won't list your names because you didn't choose to make your comments public, but I appreciate all of the notes that I've received and it's encouraging to see the interesting in the ITB series. Thank you!
Just for background, the Inside the Boardroom series takes a lot of extra work to organize, conduct the interview, and write the content for each episode. MB does not receive anything in return for an Inside the Boardroom interview; I only ask for direct access to the c-suite executive and the understanding that all questions that I ask will be direct (not trying to avoid unfavorable parts), to-the-point (not flowery), and without honorifics or deference (no titles or fawning).
I have a great amount of respect for companies and executives that agree to those terms, as there are many companies here that would never in a million years allow their executives to speak publicly, let alone on topics that are not 100% positive and dripping with marketing talking points.
OK, enough of that, let's get to the new stuff!
âIn today's MB:
- COMING UP: This week
- PH: OGP 1st week
- PH: BSP rate decision
- PH: UBP SRO start
- INT'L: US April inflation
- OceanaGold falls 6% in 1st day of trading
- CREIT, MREIT, and FILRT declare Q1 divs
- FMETF halted due to broken price tracker

- [COMING_UP] The week ahead... PH: While we had the OceanaGold PH [OGP 12.50 âŒ6.2%; 100% avgVol] IPO yesterday, the biggest waves will be made on Thursday when the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) meets to evaluate our interest rate situation. The Union Bank [UBP 34.60 âŒ6.0%; 83% avgVol] stock rights offer period will also start on Thursday. International: The only datapoint that Iâm following for this week is the US April inflation report, which we should get early Thursday morning.
- MB: The inflation metagame is where my mindâs at these days, and thatâs all about inflation expectations. Not so much where inflation âisâ, but where people (and companies) think inflation âwill beâ in the future. Inflation expectations matter because they can cause dramatic changes. For individuals, expectations of higher inflation can lead to changes in purchasing behavior and higher wage demands. For corporations, expectations of higher inflation can cause companies to increase their prices. I think you can see why the US Federal Reserve and the BSP are most afraid of these expectations; theyâre something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. There should be a lot of analysis to consume on this point after the US CPI report is out on Thursday morning.
- [UPDATE] OceanaGold falls 6% in first day of trading... OceanaGold PH [OGP 12.50 âŒ6.2%; 100% avgVol] [link] dropped a little over 6% in its first day of trading, falling â±0.82 from its â±13.33/share IPO price to close at â±12.50/share. The highest the stock traded was â±13.34 in the first 20 minutes of trading before consistent selling pressure pushed OGP price to an intra-day low of â±12.46 around 1:30 PM. The stock mounted a significant recovery to around â±12.90/share before a massive amount of late-day selling pushed it back down to the â±12.50 level at the close.
- MB: Since this is the first IPO of the year, the questions in my inbox tell me that we need to quickly cover a few points before we move forward. First, yes, OGP does have a stabilization fund, but itâs important to remember that a stabilization fund isnât supposed to entirely prevent a stockâs price from falling. A stab fund is best thought of as a discretionary pool of money that a paid agent (in this case, BDO Capital) can use to buy shares on the open market to provide some artificial demand for the stock. It has a limited amount of money (usually around 10% of the value of the total IPO) and a limited amount of time (30 days), and once either of those is gone, so is the fund. The other thing to remember about stab funds is that itâs entirely up to the agent to deploy the limited resources of the fund. They might be hands-off for days before suddenly smashing the market with a swarm of buy orders to soak up the selling pressure, or they might constantly drip artificial buy orders into the market. Or they might employ a chaotic mixture of those strategies. Stability funds are a little bit of short-term downside protection and a handy pool of exit liquidity, but they shouldnât be seen as IPO Investing insurance or a protection against loss! Be careful out there!
- [DIVS] CREIT, MREIT, and FILRT all declare Q1 dividends... Citicore Energy REIT [CREIT 2.83 âČ0.3%; 345% avgVol] [link] and MREIT [MREIT 12.96 âČ0.1%; 96% avgVol] [link] declared their Q1 dividends on Monday, while Filinvest REIT [FILRT 2.93 âŒ2.0%; 47% avgVol] [link] declared its Q1 dividend on Friday. For CREIT, the dividend will be â±0.049/share (stable), payable on July 9, representing 101% of CREITâs Q1 distributable income (DI). For MREIT, the dividend will be â±0.246 (stable), payable on June 14, representing 93% of MREITâs DI. For FILRT, the dividend will be â±0.062/share (falling), payable on June 7, representing 99.9% of FILRTâs DI for the quarter.
- MB: The name of the REIT game is stability. While REITs cannot help what happens in the macroeconomic world with interest rates (all REITs got smacked when rates rose to fight inflation), what separates a good REIT from a bad one (in my opinion) is the management teamâs ability to effectively worry about everything else to protect the income stream from loss. Bonus points should be awarded to teams who grow their dividend over time. Between these three companies, both CREIT and MREIT have shown the ability to deliver a stable dividend. CREIT has even managed to grow its dividend 11%. That leaves FILRT, which has continued to deliver giant turd after giant turd to its bagholders in the form of smaller and smaller dividends. FIRLTâs first three quarterly divs were at the â±0.112/share level, and their most recent div was just â±0.062. Thatâs a 44.6% drop. I donât have a thesaurus within reach capable of accurately describing to you just how bad that is for a REIT. Itâs not like the company suffered some major trauma that nearly halved the dividend; the div level has fallen four times over the past twelve quarters and in each of the last three.
- [NEWS] FMEFT halted due to broken price tracker... FMETF [FMETF 105.20 âČ0.9%; 5% avgVol] [link], the PSEâs only exchange-traded fund, was halted by the PSE at 1 PM yesterday after it was discovered that its iNav had failed to update since 11:30 AM. FMETF said that it would âcoordinateâ with its âservice providerâ to implement a fix, but as of this writing, FMETF has not advised that a fix has been implemented nor has the PSE lifted the halt.
- MB: This problem happened six times last year, and while itâs great that we made it into May before we had our first FMETF outage of this year, itâs still discouraging to see âiNav not calculatingâ as a problem that we need to contend with in 2024. For those who are unfamiliar, FMETF is an exchange-traded fund, so FMEFTâs per-share price is derivative of the per-share prices of all the shares that FMETF owns/represents. The âiNavâ that keeps breaking is the number that represents the current value of FMETFâs holdings, expressed as a âNAV per unitâ or âNAV per shareâ. So, if the iNav isnât updating, then traders are not getting the kind of information they need to place FMETF stock trades. âWe need more ETFsâ is something that Iâve heard traders say for years now, and while I still count myself as part of that group, I wish we could see some forward progress in the maintenance of FMETF before we introduce anything more exotic to the market.

2024.05.14 00:48 SourSensuousness Passed D281 / Linux Essentials OA!
Got a 690, nice.
Prior to this, my only real experience with Linux had been making a Raspberry Pi tablet that nobody really uses, and installing Kali Linux on a potato laptop. I'm a Mac user and I have used Terminal a bit, and I used DOS a lot in the 90s, so some of the material (particularly hardware, basic CLI) was familiar to me. I started studying about two and a half weeks ago.
In case this is helpful to anybody, this is what I did and here are my thoughts:

Prior to this, my only real experience with Linux had been making a Raspberry Pi tablet that nobody really uses, and installing Kali Linux on a potato laptop. I'm a Mac user and I have used Terminal a bit, and I used DOS a lot in the 90s, so some of the material (particularly hardware, basic CLI) was familiar to me. I started studying about two and a half weeks ago.
In case this is helpful to anybody, this is what I did and here are my thoughts:
- I went through the Cisco NetAcademy course. I did some of the labs. I read all the content and outlined it. It was extremely boring.
- I completed all the unit tests on the Cisco course (In one case, and chapter 9 I am looking at you, up to 11 times...) and looked up answers and reread material until I was consistently scoring 80% or, ideally, 90-100% on each unit, the midterm, the final, and the cumulative final. Last night I finally hit 80% on all except Chapter 18 (Special Directories and Files), which is sorta funny since I got 100% on the "Security and File Permissions" component of the exam.
- I made Anki flashcards for everything I got wrong or that confused or even mildly interested me. Basically, I "Ankified" everything that was not a transition sentence, lol.
- I also had a big document where I took notes from every single section. This was, honestly, mostly to keep myself from just skimming through and skipping over stuff because it was really really dull. It might not be efficient, but throughout my education (and this ain't my first school rodeo), I've found it useful to see how information is organized, so I generally make top-down outlines of what I read. I used to do this in MS Word but lately I've been using Notion since the formatting is nicer Maybe it's a total waste of time, because it took fivever. But I did it and now I have a huge Notion document of Linux notes....so I've got that going for me.
- I went through the big blue Linux book. It was also EXTREMELY boring. It was actually sort of impressive, just how incredibly dull they managed to make that book. After a certain point, it felt almost like meditation or a fever dream. I had a friend who did a silent meditation retreat and I think I started to feel like she described feeling towards the end of that. I did as many of the exercises and "explorational" activities as possible (some required permissions that weren't possible with the VMs I had at the moment).
- For a few days, I was using the online tests / flashcards that went with the LPI Linux Essentials Study Guide: Exam 010 v1.6 book, but apparently the site those were on was "retired" on April 30th, and it was annoying enough to get access the first time, so I didn't bother to try & figure out whatever it changed to. I found that book to be the least helpful of the materials anyway. The practice tests were the best thing about that one.
- I completed the Codecademy Bash scripting course one afternoon, since I like Codecademy's approach to scaffolding material and wanted to practice actually doing Bash scripting (but without, like, installing a VM).
- I took all the Dion exams multiple times.
- I followed the same process as with the Cisco exams, making cards / looking up anything and everything I got wrong.
- I made Anki flashcards for all of the above, and used GIFs or made graphics or used ChatGPT / Midjourney to generate ridiculous / weird images or songs to help me remember commands. Please, let me regale you with my and ChatGPT's interpretation of Johnny Cash, called "A Command Named Su." (And, actually, su came up ZERO times on the actual exam for some reason).
- I played this "Command Line Murder Mystery" game and really wished there was more to it, because while it's a great intro to the CLI that I'd recommend to anybody new to it, it also replicated a lot of the stuff I was more familiar with. I would have loved it if there had been something like that for every corresponding unit of the Cisco course or chapter of the book.
- I spent about a week and a half going through the flashcards during any and all downtime: During my kid's bath, on a flight, at a stoplight, at a family wedding, hair appointment, meals, whatever.
- I had started out by downloading a public Anki deck that was supposed to be for Linux Essentials, but ultimately I didn't think those cards helped nearly as much as the ones I made myself. The process of making the cards is important, and the deck I found was all "basic" format (instead of Cloze or Image like I was using). The deck I found had very open-ended questions that lacked context, and I regret wasting time on it instead of just making my own cards from the get-go. In the end, my deck was 835 cards, though that included the rando one I had downloaded. I don't think I use Anki in the most efficient way, so that was probably too many.
- I was able to attend one of the Cohorts and do the online game yesterday, and it was both fun and helpful. So I'd definitely recommend doing that.
- I was mildly surprised that there were a few more "pick X of these options" questions than I'd expected. I had thought there'd be 7; by my count, I had 9.
- In case you aren't aware, there are about 3 fill-in-the-blank questions on the exam. They only ask for one word, though. The practice exams do not have these types of questions. However, since I had no idea until yesterday that this was even a question type, I wanted to put that out there, since some people might get thrown off by a question type they're not expecting.
- I did my exam at a testing center and it felt like a damn vacation. I managed to show up precisely on time for the first and probably only time in my entire life. It was, just extremely nice people, free parking, free locker for my stuff, a nice sunny window in the testing room, everything was very clean and bright. I wish I could take all the OAs that way!
- I've taken the Dion and Cisco and Study Guide practice tests so many times they run together, so it's hard to say exactly which questions came from where, but I was surprised that a lot of the questions on the exam were verbatim from the pool of practice tests I'd been using.
- In general, I think Dion's exams were a little bit easier than the actual exam and Cisco's were a little bit harder. Dion tends to have some goofy or humorous "distracter" wrong answer options (which, frankly, I appreciate because this was generally extremely boring material to me, sorry), but the other practice exams I took were all srsbiz. Also, since Cisco's unit tests are specialized to each topic, I think they go into greater depth than the actual exam might.
- In the end, I think I did substantially better on the exam than I had on the Cisco material, so I'd say that Cisco over-prepares you a tiny bit and that's probably what you want, right?
- I was so psyched about the "Command Named Su" and never even got to use it. :(
- I am sure the best actual approach is to have and use Linux daily via the command line, or perhaps to be bo(u)rn(e) to a family fluent in C and grow up speaking Bash or C as your native language... but failing that, I'd start with the Cisco course (Link). It's fantastic that it's FREE. Note that about once a week they take it down for an annoyingly long maintenance window, but still. Each unit test is only 10 questions, and it doesn't actually tell you what the "right" answers are if you get them wrong, so it's extremely hard to get through a unit without having a good understanding of the material.
- If you're not familiar with the CLI, definitely try the game I linked above. It's really cool. Actually, try it even if you are, it's just a fun way to practice.
- If you can figure out where the practice tests went for the LPI Linux Essentials Study Guide: Exam 010 v.16 (by Bresnahan and Blum), they are fairly useful, but they are also very, very similar to the Cisco course.
- It took me some time to figure out that the Dion course on Udemy is really two courses. One has videos and 2 practice exams, one is just 6 practice exams. Between the two courses, there are 8 practice exams. I took all of them multiple times and thought they were really good practice. I tried feeding the exams to Chat GPT and asking it to generate new questions, but it didn't work very well (they were too easy / just reworded, etc).
- I love Anki, though I guess it might not work for everybody, and don't take a shortcut; make your own flashcards.
- A lot of the material that seems to be floating around about this exam is redundant to the big boring book and the Cisco course. So I think it probably matters to just find a format you enjoy, or at least that you can stand (e.g., video, course, whatever) and stick with it all the way through.
- The thing that helped the most for me, in terms of both trying to stay sane and memorizing the material, was trying to turn it into something fun and interesting. I actually began to enjoy the process of studying once I started making stupid / weird / traumatizing AI art images. I am sure a smarter person than myself (which is most of you) would've probably figured that out a lot faster.
- The real kernel is the soul-crushing boredom we found along the way. Right?
2024.05.14 00:26 Sparky_skiies Got my med school results today, the result was nice but the reactions weren't.
Today I got my Med school results of 2nd proff. I passed it. Good enough grades. A little backstory to it :
I've always been a decent student. I always go overboard in making things good academically cause I never want to end up being a disappointment. I do all the classes, attend lectures, and study my level best. From school up until my college life, I've been doing good enough. I am not bragging at all just laying down the situation here. So, my exams were in March. I've studied and hustled for the entire year for these exams, but I don't know how and why, my exams didn't go well as compared to the efforts and energy I gave in to it. Every single morning before going to attend the exam, I would always end up crying while revising. It was truly just a bad, very bad phase. Somehow, the exams got over. Fast forward to the days ahead, when I told people around me, including my friends and parents that I expect something bad in the result and that I didn't do as good as I expected it all to be.
No one, not even a single person agreed and accepted. Not even ONE. Everyone was like, âyou can do it. Ofcourse if you wouldn't do, who else? You've always been this way. We know you can do.â I actually can't explain and write the exact sentences, but all I wanted was someone to just understand what I meant, what I have in my head. I don't understand why academically good students always are laid down with this image that they can never ever have a bad phase, bad day, bad exams? Why? Aren't we humans? I'm not talking about those who brag unnecessarily. I'm talking about the ones who genuinely do for others and this one time confessed that they aren't expecting anything good this time, that they didn't do well. That they had bad exams and all their efforts ended up in vain.
I'm close to my dad. Enough close that I call him every single minute if I'm panicking. The entire exam time, I used to tell and talk to him. During exams, I told him that my exams aren't going well and that I'm still trying my level best. Everything that I can do. He was supportive. I love him for that. Same with my mom.
Right after exams, when I told them and talked to any of my friends or my dad or mom about results, they would shrug it off like, âlet it beâ âit's okayâ ânothing's wrongâ âstop overthinkingâ âyou're a good student, if you wouldn't have good grades, who else will?â âif you're saying this then what will happen to us who don't study as well as you?â Bro I'm tired of this generalisation.
When I say I'm tired. I genuinely am. My results got out today, finally. I did well. I passed :)
The point that I was so happy and people killed my excitement. Some started talking about how I didn't get a top 10 rank. I called my dad first. The very first person. He simply said, âcongrats.â Not a single word. He knew everything, my panic, my random urgent calls cause I was going numb while preparing. But all he did was a bland reaction. He instructed me to call my mom then all my relatives (pretty simply my relatives are hella toxic, and negative people. They kill off the vibe.)
I called mom. Same reaction. âcongrats!â âdid you get the marks too?" And the next minute the topic was about her side of the family and what all she did in her day. Okay. Accepted. Never mind.
Next I called my relatives, one of them said âoh wow good news. Good good.â That's it.
Onto the next, I called her. She said, âoh you finally remember me? Oh so you got your results that's why you could remember me?â :))))))
I was telling my friends, but they all kept repeating like, âif you (my name) would've been failed, then what would've happened to us? Oh come on, stop acting like this. Stop lying. Stop pretending. We knew you were gonna do well.â
Enough y'all.
I didn't need attention. I just want to say that I just wanted a little time to process. I wanted people to understand that this was really an unexpected good result and I was genuinely happy with it. I wanted people to treat me and my result that way. Why can't academically decent people have their share of bad days without people always generalising them that they can never have/ never had seen failures?
I'm writing this while I'm in my hostel room, my best friend is soundly sleeping, probably with just the idea of the dried out responses of my family and nothing else. It's me, my playlist and this rant I'm writing right now. I'm probably not going to sleep at all tonight, will rather have my alone time and process it alone than expecting reactions from people without making me feel like, âoh? You're pass? We already knew. Why is it a big deal for you eh?â Fuck this. It's a big deal for me. I'll manage, process, accept and enjoy on my own.
Thanks to anyone who read this. Have a good day <3

2024.05.13 23:50 insurancezone "The Enigma of '.' - Revealing the Hidden Depths"
Title: "The Elusive Nature of "." - Let's Dive Deeper"
Hey fellow Redditors,
I've been pondering about the topic "." lately, and it's got me caught up in a web of thoughts. It's fascinating how such a simple concept can carry so much weight and elicit multiple interpretations. So, let's take a plunge into the abyss of "." and explore its depth together!
Here are some critical points that might intrigue and challenge your perspective:
âą "." Is this a mere punctuation mark that brings a sentence to a halt? Or does it signify something more significant, like the eternal pause amidst the chaos of life?
âą "." Is "." the embodiment of silence? We often say "silence speaks volumes," so does "." hint at the unsaid, the unexpressed emotions bubbling beneath the surface?
âą "." Can "." denote vulnerability? Does it hold the power to reveal a person's insecurities and fears, stripping them of facade and exposing what lies beneath?
âą "." Could "." be a symbol of our collective struggle with authenticity in a world that encourages mask-wearing and pretense?
âą "." Are we too dependant on "." for validation and acceptance? Does the number of "." on our social media posts determine our worth in society?
âą "." How does "." affect our relationships? Is "." a veil that masks true connections, resulting in surface-level interactions devoid of depth and understanding?
Now, let's take a moment to contemplate these questions before diving into the comments section. Feel free to share your own insights, ideas, and experiences related to "." Remember, there are no right or wrong answers; we are here to learn from each other.
In conclusion, the power of "." lies in its profound complexity, resilience, and versatility. By uncovering its depth and engaging in thoughtful discourse, we can uncover new perspectives and expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Thanks for joining this intriguing discussion, and I can't wait to read your profound insights!
TL;DR: The significance of "." goes beyond its conventional use. From silence and vulnerability, its impact on relationships and our need for validation, let's explore the multifaceted nature of "." together. Engage in a thoughtful discussion to broaden your perspective and uncover new insights!

2024.05.13 23:37 Rita_Mk_566 A night that changed my life
THIS STORY IS NOT MINE BUT IT IS SHARED FROM SOMEONE ELSE : Life sometimes has different plans that one can expect, and it really did hit me 15 years ago with the most shocking plot twist for me . Let me just settle y'all ,this happened when i was around 14 or 15 years old, so you can say I was aware of everything. I have a small family of two parents , 2 siblings and my uncle Ted and my grandparents. we used to live in Texas in a big house with my dad's side of the family for most of my life until my grandparents died and we moved to Nebraska. My uncle too (48 y/o at the time ) moved in with us . He and dad are actually twin brothers , they are identical in everything even in their voices. The only way to know which one it is , is that my dad has a big circled birthmark on the middle of his back that can only be seen if he took off his shirt. At first , it was cool to have uncle Ted at the house , he would shower us with attention, paly games with us , give us money and buy us food whenever we wanted . You can say he is the cool uncle type . But soon after , we started to notice that mom and Ted started to argue a lot whenever dad is out . They would curse each other , calling names and fighting for the slightest and stupidest things . They would often bring the money topic and how my mom see that itâs unfair to have my uncle live with us without paying a dime in the bills or pay some rent for us since he is still single and broke. And he would treat her in a bad way , mock her clothes and criticize her body . It was really taken too far so we brought it up to dad who told us to remain distant and to not interfere in these fights . So we did . On November 27th, it was movie night so me and my siblings settled things up ; popcorn , candy and pizza to spend a great night with the family . But as usual, Ted and Mom wouldn't stop fighting even when father was around them . They all went upstairs to discuss this matter and all we got to hear is dad and uncle yelling and mom crying out . I had to increase the volume of the TV so my younger siblings wouldn't pay attention to the fight but I was really worried that something might happen . In an instant , all I heard is a shot gun . My heart fell to the ground . I went upstairs with tears in my eyes , and opened the room's door aggressively. I would never forget these painful feelings and that shocking scene , I found my mom shot , coughing her own blood and both my uncle and dad were holding her , dad was shirtless and Ted was wearing a black shirt . When they got down raking mom to the hospital ,both them was wearing black .The whiel way , Dad was blaming Ted for the incident while the other fought back and claimed he's innocent. That night , we lost our mother in that tragic way . Police later on found a gun with Uncle Ted's fingertips so they assumed with the fact they both argue a lot that Ted killed her on purpose and arrested him to a life sentence in jail . We were devastated , and depressed. How can our uncle kill our mom ? We went to therapy after that and still the wound was too big to be healed so fast . Still we were grateful and fortunate to have our father by our side. UNTIL ,5 Months later , an FBI agent came by and arrested our dad and brought us all to the police station. There we found uncle Ted with his lawyer waiting for us . They police officer came to me and asked gently :" How can you tell which one is your father in a room filled with identical people like him ? " I answered that by the birthmark he got . That's when they forced them both to take off their shirts , the one who was with us this whole time isn't dad but Uncle Ted . The police officer explained that when Ted knew he was going to jail he framed Dad as if it was him and manipulated everyone that all this time the criminal was in jail. The news doesn't stop here , Ted was actually planning for killing our mom for years because they both were very close but mom rejected him because she liked our dad and not him . He also was planning on getting dad arrested and to get him killed there in the prison too and make it look as a suicide. As for us, he didn't want to harm us but he was planning to buy off one of us as a slave to one of the creepy old rich dudes when he get to 18 years old. They ,of course, sent him to jail and booked him few therapy sessions in there too , our dad got out and we moved from the US to Italy for a new life . I know this story really took so much time to tell but seriously, this event changed my whole life . I do believe that there is more shocking plot twists out there and I would like to know them too . Anyway thank you for reading this , please leave your opinion about this !

2024.05.13 22:48 ThrowRAokpie My (24F) boyfriend (26M) cut off his female best friend (27F) for me. How do we move on?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 months. He has a female best friend who is very open sexually bc of her culture, upbringing & trauma, and sleeps around a lot. In the past, before we started dating, theyâve had some sexual interactions. For example, she has sent him pictures of her boobs, theyâve flirted back and forth and he has in random conversations with me dropped some obscure intimate knowledge about her - for example saying she was a big fan of a sex position (they havenât had sex, havenât even met IRL, but had some in depth conversation about this stuff). Whilst he and I were dating, she had also sent him semi-regular updates about her sex life. Nothing major or extremely descriptive, but still enough for me to feel discomfort: for example the penis size of some guy she slept with, about how once a guy oiled her up, etc.
I set a boundary with him 5 months back, that IMO sexual intimacy is reserved for your partner only, and them discussing sexual topics on such an intimate level made me uncomfortable. He assured me he agreed and said he would ask her to spare him the details. One month after we agreed to that, I caught another sexual message falling into his phone (the oil thing). He says he thinks she forgot, so 2 weeks after that (he said he wanted to find a good way to phrase it) he sent a longer and more direct message for her to stop. To my knowledge, she hasnât done it since.
Though, there is still this nagging anxiety in my head about the potential of cheating. I donât think itâd be out of malice; but sometimes cheating is a well-intentioned persons' boundaries slowly eroding over time, which scared me because theyâve already demonstrated some concerning boundaries already. Realizing I couldn't endure this fear any longer, I saw only two options: either ask him to limit contact or cut off his friend, or break up. Option 1 seemed toxic from the start, so I braced myself for a breakup conversation, even though it was the last thing I wanted, given my love for him.
He insisted that he would rather cut off contact with his friend than risk losing me. He said he was offended and disturbed I would rather break up when he is offering a solution he thinks is perfectly reasonable. After a lengthy and emotional conversation, he managed to convince me to allow him to send her a farewell message, emphasizing that it was his decision to make. She said it was OK.
After reading the heartfelt goodbye message he sent to his friend, where he assured her she could still reach out in emergencies and praised her personality, I couldn't help but shed a tearâit was touching. But now, I'm overwhelmed with guilt, feeling like I've become a toxic girlfriend. Despite my boyfriend's reassurances that he's fine with the situation and urging me to give myself time to come to terms with it, I can't shake the feeling that limiting his contact with friends is a major red flag in relationships, especially considering he doesn't have many close friends.
TL;DR: My boyfriend has a sexually open female best friend with whom he's had past sexual interactions with - her sending NSFW pictures, them going into depth about what they find hot, previously having flirted. The one thing that carried into our relationship was her sending him semi-regular updates about her sex-life, not a lot, maybe 2-3 sentences about dick size, performance or activity. Still, it bothered me. Despite setting boundaries about discussing sexual topics, which she broke at one point. Worried about potential cheating due to blurred boundaries, I felt the only options were to ask him to limit contact or break up. He says he is choosing to cut off his friend to prioritize our relationship, which I feel horrible about. I now struggle with feeling like a controlling girlfriend. Despite his reassurances, I fear I've exchanged one anxiety for another. How do we move forward from here?

2024.05.13 21:35 it_rains_blue_here Thank you, everyone. [just silly rambles][I need help][not a script!][CW: mild swearing and 1 JJK spoiler]
Part 1: The Coughing Fit
You are seated in some kind of hall. Itâs open air, so you can see the stars. A bunch of strange characters are seated around you. You see a dragon girl huffing in annoyance, âThis is crazy! I mean, I know he wrote me in a script and all but why do I have to be here?â
âHey, maybe this wonât be so bad!â A girl with cat ears and a swishing tail responds cheerfully. âI was bored anyway and I hear theyâll be giving out cookies later!â
âSssh, you guys!â A beautiful woman responds. Well, she seems pretty normal, you think. Then you notice the fish tail. Itâs a freaking mermaid. âLookâ, she says, âI think theyâre starting!â
You look at the stage. Two guys are indeed standing up there. One of them is wearing a really cool-looking suit and has a stylized, ornate insignia emblazoned on it. âAudio Artistâ, it reads. Heâs one of them! Heâs one of âem VAs! Heâs really suave but he appears mildly peeved. âYou couldnât make a simple âthank youâ post, could you? No, you just HAD to weird everyone out with your shenanigans!â
âThis was the only way.â The other guy finally speaks up. âWe doing this for Nanami.â
âFuck you! Nanami dead! Have you not been keeping up with the show?!â
âWell, if he were here, I donât think heâd object.â
âWhy are we even talking about this?â
âI donât know. Anyway, I gotta go out there. Give Stephanie my love.â
âI canât even give her mine- sheâs taken- how the hell am I supposed to give her yours?â
âYouâve been crushing on her for way too long, man. You need to move on.â
âYeah, why donât you write a script about it?â
âI just might! Anyway...â
The guy walks up to the mic. He looks about twenty- or something, you really canât tell from this distance- and clears his throat. Only to begin coughing immediately. âDamnâ, he wheezes, âwhy did I think this would be a good idea?â
Hey, everyone! I realized Iâve been here for almost half a year now. Just wanted to sincerely thank you for filling, reading and/or commenting on my scripts! It really is a strange feeling to hear someone recording something youâve written. Itâs not like I have a whole lot of fills, and I donât keep a count (why actively flirt with Depression when sheâs yandere for you anyway?) but Iâve received more than I couldâve imagined when I started writing. I read every comment and I listen to every fill, and I truly appreciate them all. Thank you so much :-)
PART 2: The Cookie Quest
Damn, that speech dragged.
Youâre walking around outside the hall, wondering when youâll wake up from this stupid dream. Suddenly, a pale woman whoâs creating and destroying little ice-shards above her palm (for fun) approaches you. âHey there!â
You ask her what script sheâs supposed to be from. âThatâs not important! If you know, you know. Anyway, I was going to sayâŠtheyâre serving cookies over there! Loads of them!â
You look at where sheâs pointing. Itâs some kind of banquet hall. For cookies. Thereâs a lot you want to say but for now, some cookies would be great actually. You thank her and dash over to the banquet hall. Before you can look for cookies, the guy who gave that speech earlier blocks your path. âHey there! So I feel like I should tell you a bit about myself.â
You really donât have to, I just came here for-
âYes, I know right?! So, Iâve been listening to ASMR on and off for a few years. I think of it as a really immersive 2nd person form of storytelling. Listening to audios is fun, and so is writing scripts! If youâre a listener and ever want ASMR recommendations, at least for F4A/F4M, then definitely hit me up!â
You wouldnât, perchance, happen to know where the cookies are, would you?
âOh, and Iâm taking prompts now! No commissions, because I don't deserve your money! If you have an idea youâd like me to write a script on, feel free to DM me. The prompt can be as brief or as detailed as you like, and Iâll do my best to tailor it accordingly. But I feel like I should give you a few samples of my stuff, in case youâre curious.â
SoâŠ.about the cookiesâŠ.
âAh yes, hereâs Sample1!
Not expecting this bit of shameless self-promotion, you try to steer the conversation towards more important topics.
So, what flavours do you have? Chocolate, coconut, almond, butterscotch- any of themâŠ.?
âIndeed I do! Iâve written quite a few scripts so far, and Iâve tried to explore different themes. This is sample2!
There never were any cookies, were there?
âCookies? Like, internet cookies and stuff? Yeah, Iâm not sure about redditâs cookie policy. What I AM sure about though, is that I got the right hyperlink. Hereâs sample3!
He seems a little confused by your expression. There better be an apology coming upâŠ.

But I just came here for the cookiesâŠ
PART 3: The Needlessly Dramatic
Youâre at a deserted beach. Thereâs nobody around for miles, except for that suave audio artist from earlier, and that idiot who never pointed you towards the exact location of the cookies. You did eventually find them, but you wouldnât go to that much trouble for any baked goods again. Anyway, the two of them are busy staring off into the distance, at the endless expanse of blue ocean, like theyâre posing for the cover of some chill indie rock album.
You look at the ocean too, but then it clicks. There are mermaids playing water polo out there. They giggle every so often and swim close to the shore to wave and wink at the onlookers. The audio artist guy waves back. âI will admit, itâs not so bad hanging out in the world inside your head from time to time, Rain. Stuff is weird in here, but Iâm not complaining. Howâd you even come up with mermaid water polo?â
âI didnât. Read a sentence in an Old Spice advert once.â
âAh, the art of casually ripping off! Classic Rains!â
âWhat is wrong with you?! I just like coming to this beach to chill and do nothing for a while, you know? Helps me come up with script ideas sometimes.â
âLike what? âProfessional water polo mermaid sees you at her game and turns yandere for you?â â
âThat was not what I was talking about, no, but thank you. Iâll note that one down.â
You hear seagulls and sea-waves. And the ever-present laughter of mermaids in the distance. Is water polo really that enjoyable?
âI feel like thereâs something I should have done a long time ago.â
âWritten a sequel to your vampire script?â
ââŠ.No. You know what? Itâd be easier to just show you.â The guy stands up and dusts off all the sand clinging to his clothes. It doesnât really help, butâŠ
âWhat are you doing?â

âLast oneâs debatable.â

You are seated in some kind of hall. Itâs open air, so you can see the stars. A bunch of strange characters are seated around you. You see a dragon girl huffing in annoyance, âThis is crazy! I mean, I know he wrote me in a script and all but why do I have to be here?â
âHey, maybe this wonât be so bad!â A girl with cat ears and a swishing tail responds cheerfully. âI was bored anyway and I hear theyâll be giving out cookies later!â
âSssh, you guys!â A beautiful woman responds. Well, she seems pretty normal, you think. Then you notice the fish tail. Itâs a freaking mermaid. âLookâ, she says, âI think theyâre starting!â
You look at the stage. Two guys are indeed standing up there. One of them is wearing a really cool-looking suit and has a stylized, ornate insignia emblazoned on it. âAudio Artistâ, it reads. Heâs one of them! Heâs one of âem VAs! Heâs really suave but he appears mildly peeved. âYou couldnât make a simple âthank youâ post, could you? No, you just HAD to weird everyone out with your shenanigans!â
âThis was the only way.â The other guy finally speaks up. âWe doing this for Nanami.â
âFuck you! Nanami dead! Have you not been keeping up with the show?!â
âWell, if he were here, I donât think heâd object.â
âWhy are we even talking about this?â
âI donât know. Anyway, I gotta go out there. Give Stephanie my love.â
âI canât even give her mine- sheâs taken- how the hell am I supposed to give her yours?â
âYouâve been crushing on her for way too long, man. You need to move on.â
âYeah, why donât you write a script about it?â
âI just might! Anyway...â
The guy walks up to the mic. He looks about twenty- or something, you really canât tell from this distance- and clears his throat. Only to begin coughing immediately. âDamnâ, he wheezes, âwhy did I think this would be a good idea?â
Hey, everyone! I realized Iâve been here for almost half a year now. Just wanted to sincerely thank you for filling, reading and/or commenting on my scripts! It really is a strange feeling to hear someone recording something youâve written. Itâs not like I have a whole lot of fills, and I donât keep a count (why actively flirt with Depression when sheâs yandere for you anyway?) but Iâve received more than I couldâve imagined when I started writing. I read every comment and I listen to every fill, and I truly appreciate them all. Thank you so much :-)
PART 2: The Cookie Quest
Damn, that speech dragged.
Youâre walking around outside the hall, wondering when youâll wake up from this stupid dream. Suddenly, a pale woman whoâs creating and destroying little ice-shards above her palm (for fun) approaches you. âHey there!â
You ask her what script sheâs supposed to be from. âThatâs not important! If you know, you know. Anyway, I was going to sayâŠtheyâre serving cookies over there! Loads of them!â
You look at where sheâs pointing. Itâs some kind of banquet hall. For cookies. Thereâs a lot you want to say but for now, some cookies would be great actually. You thank her and dash over to the banquet hall. Before you can look for cookies, the guy who gave that speech earlier blocks your path. âHey there! So I feel like I should tell you a bit about myself.â
You really donât have to, I just came here for-
âYes, I know right?! So, Iâve been listening to ASMR on and off for a few years. I think of it as a really immersive 2nd person form of storytelling. Listening to audios is fun, and so is writing scripts! If youâre a listener and ever want ASMR recommendations, at least for F4A/F4M, then definitely hit me up!â
You wouldnât, perchance, happen to know where the cookies are, would you?
âOh, and Iâm taking prompts now! No commissions, because I don't deserve your money! If you have an idea youâd like me to write a script on, feel free to DM me. The prompt can be as brief or as detailed as you like, and Iâll do my best to tailor it accordingly. But I feel like I should give you a few samples of my stuff, in case youâre curious.â
SoâŠ.about the cookiesâŠ.
âAh yes, hereâs Sample1!
Not expecting this bit of shameless self-promotion, you try to steer the conversation towards more important topics.
So, what flavours do you have? Chocolate, coconut, almond, butterscotch- any of themâŠ.?
âIndeed I do! Iâve written quite a few scripts so far, and Iâve tried to explore different themes. This is sample2!
There never were any cookies, were there?
âCookies? Like, internet cookies and stuff? Yeah, Iâm not sure about redditâs cookie policy. What I AM sure about though, is that I got the right hyperlink. Hereâs sample3!
He seems a little confused by your expression. There better be an apology coming upâŠ.
âOh, Iâm so sorry. I forgot to mention that I have more scripts in a pinned post on my profile. Itâs not fully updated, but if you ever want to take a look, well, youâre more than welcome! Okay then, see you later!â

2024.05.13 19:59 ThrowRAokpie My (24F) boyfriend (26M) cut off his female best friend (27F) for me. How do we move on?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 months. He has a female best friend who is very open sexually bc of her culture, upbringing & trauma, and sleeps around a lot. In the past, before we started dating, theyâve had some sexual interactions. For example, she has sent him pictures of her boobs, theyâve flirted back and forth and he has in random conversations with me dropped some obscure intimate knowledge about her - for example saying she was a big fan of a sex position (they havenât had sex, havenât even met IRL, but had some in depth conversation about this stuff). Whilst he and I were dating, she had also sent him semi-regular updates about her sex life. Nothing major or extremely descriptive, but still enough for me to feel discomfort: for example the penis size of some guy she slept with, about how once a guy oiled her up, etc.
I set a boundary with him 5 months back, that IMO sexual intimacy is reserved for your partner only, and them discussing sexual topics on such an intimate level made me uncomfortable. He assured me he agreed and said he would ask her to spare him the details. One month after we agreed to that, I caught another sexual message falling into his phone (the oil thing). He says he thinks she forgot, so 2 weeks after that (he said he wanted to find a good way to phrase it) he sent a longer and more direct message for her to stop. To my knowledge, she hasnât done it since.
Though, there is still this nagging anxiety in my head about the potential of cheating. I donât think itâd be out of malice; but sometimes cheating is a well-intentioned persons' boundaries slowly eroding over time, which scared me because theyâve already demonstrated some concerning boundaries already. Realizing I couldn't endure this fear any longer, I saw only two options: either ask him to limit contact or cut off his friend, or break up. Option 1 seemed toxic from the start, so I braced myself for a breakup conversation, even though it was the last thing I wanted, given my love for him.
He insisted that he would rather cut off contact with his friend than risk losing me. He said he was offended and disturbed I would rather break up when he is offering a solution he thinks is perfectly reasonable. After a lengthy and emotional conversation, he managed to convince me to allow him to send her a farewell message, emphasizing that it was his decision to make. She said it was OK.
After reading the heartfelt goodbye message he sent to his friend, where he assured her she could still reach out in emergencies and praised her personality, I couldn't help but shed a tearâit was touching. But now, I'm overwhelmed with guilt, feeling like I've become a toxic girlfriend. Despite my boyfriend's reassurances that he's fine with the situation and urging me to give myself time to come to terms with it, I can't shake the feeling that limiting his contact with friends is a major red flag in relationships, especially considering he doesn't have many close friends.
TL;DR: My boyfriend has a sexually open female best friend with whom he's had past sexual interactions with - her sending NSFW pictures, them going into depth about what they find hot, previously having flirted. The one thing that carried into our relationship was her sending him semi-regular updates about her sex-life, not a lot, maybe 2-3 sentences about dick size, performance or activity. Still, it bothered me. Despite setting boundaries about discussing sexual topics, which she broke at one point. Worried about potential cheating due to blurred boundaries, I felt the only options were to ask him to limit contact or break up. He says he is choosing to cut off his friend to prioritize our relationship, which I feel horrible about. I now struggle with feeling like a controlling girlfriend. Despite his reassurances, I fear I've exchanged one anxiety for another. How do we move forward from here?

2024.05.13 19:42 MohawkElGato First time making cutdowns and editing reality scene
I'm an AE with more than 6 years experience, all sorts of TV and programs. My only editing experience so far though has been with scripted content (short films shot by actor friends, actor reels, and short news pieces). I'm now in reality again and have been asked to make a cutdown of a scene. Exciting! But I have no idea how to actually cut a scene properly with unscripted content.
Some notes:
My biggest issue however:
These two people are both from Boston. I am from NYC so we speak the same way: talk all over each other, get excited mid sentence, use our hands a lot, barking over the other one as they are speaking, etc. There are not many natural "pauses" between lines in this, they remain seated the whole time, and even when I do try to mute one person's mic, I can still pick up a little bit of what they said on the other character's mic (they are both seated next to each other in a backyard).
What would any of you experts do in this situation? I've gone through a made a selects sequence of just reaction shots of each characters faces, and pushed in a little bit on those ones to cut out seeing the other person in the angle (so that you don't see how they talk and move). Should I just use natural sound or ambient SFX under these reaction shots when trying to space things out?
Any help and advice is appreciated, thank you!

Some notes:
- I have not been given any timings or lines to include. I had to log the scene first myself, making markers and transcribing lines. This has been completed and it helped me get the scene together, content wise, pretty well.
- I've already made a large cutdown (Footage was about an hour long, cutdown to 17 minutes of content) that followed the conversation between the two people easily. No fluff in there. Convo is easy to understand.
- My producer watched this version and was pleased, but did note that the cuts were VERY tight (they were, my experience in the past when on a news style program was always told to cut super tight, so I admit I went to that well). They asked that my next version has time to breathe, with pauses in between things to let it not feel so rushed (good notes, totally agreed). We also decided to axe some of their topics of conversation that weren't needed, and figured a focus of the scene that was best to make it about.

2024.05.13 19:24 Huntardurr How to climb in SoloQ Premiere
 | 20k (before the Overpass incident..) submitted by Huntardurr to counterstrike [link] [comments] Some Advice for an easier climb in Counter Strike. Skip ahead to 1. if you dont care about a little intro, I believe its important though to share where i am coming from to understand why i have some strong opinions on some things and why they worked out for me. Ive climbed about 4 times in csgo from decay after a long break back to Global Elite,In CS2 I got placed in 1500 premiere points and am now over 20000 Elo, (but probably already decayed sincethe cheaters made me switch back to faceit lol) I dont believe at all that the ranking system is broken. (only the AC) I have a 20k a 17k and a 15k account. On 15kI put in PP-Bizon, Scar20 and M249 and will go for more than 30 Frags in 9/10 games.On 17k I will need to make an effort to go for 30 Frags and on 20k games, Im finally where I belong andcant pop off every game anymore. Mistakes and Bad Weapon Choice will get punished and even when my aim is crispI will mostly die off to a Trade and go something like 20/18 or 18/20 in the end of the game.I know you are tilted because of teammates and search someone to blame, Ive been there a million times withthousands of play hours in dota, league, Overwatch, cs, valorant and all other kind of competetive games.The good thing for me about CS was always: Its a shooter. And its a no hero shooter. YOU alone can turn a game (given there is no cheater) into a win. There is no paper scicor rock role bs that screws you if your teammate cant play their role. You dont need your teammates in SoloQ. Not. At. All.Yes, there are roles like lurker, Entry Fragger, someone to trade you off and so on, but i will get to that in the advice part and you will see its not that much of a problem. My most kill game back in CSGO turned out as a draw so I know well enough that you cant carry every SINGLE game.But as long as you play above your elos average you will climb, the more out of your average you play, the faster thats going to happen."But I loose more Points than I win!" - Thats because you lost a lot recently or have been stuck at the same rank for eternity.Both are good reasons for the system to "punish" you. It works the same way whenever you go on a winning streak. (And its very common! All of the games mentioned above handle the rating system the SAME way!)My friend gets +450 -100 on average, but if you check his leetify he has a 62% winrate, while ive never seem someone complain about the elosystem with a winrate better than 52%. If you have about 100 games and a 52% winrate, im sorry to say but you are where you currently belong. You cant make enough of a difference by yourself - against enemies that are at the same elo, to win more games than to loose. So what, you won 2 more games out of 100?You see, thats not really doing anything. Therefore you deserve the elo you play on = the system works. Now please have a cup of coffee, lean back and let me tell you what you can do to increase your winrate and climb. And yes, CS2 is full of cheaters. Counter Strike always was. This is a big problem that you cant really do anything about. I collected more than 80 clips of differnt cheaters on my climb andI even made a Montage for my channel from the most blatant ones. Yet Im still on 20k. So dont let them give you an excuse. If you want to climb, you will just need to live with the fact that some peopleare spineless whimps. AFKIng out on cheaters always worked best for me, get them bored, dont let them have fun. Oh and if you are a 5-Stack you can always try to report the account as stolen, worked ONCE out of maybe 10-20 times to ban an enemy cheater midgame.
Best thing you can do in SoloQ is to barely use your utility. Sounds really stupid right? But it isnt. Hear me out on this example: You want to take Ancient B, so you stay behind, ask for a smoke drop and get it. You smoke away long and short, maybe molotov cubby or pillar and give a support flashbang for your teammate pushing up ramp. Where is the mistake in this? This depends on your teammates, doing as you tell them and that they can win the gunfight with favored odds (because of your grenades) So yes, for high elo games or more tryhard enviorements like faceit or 99dmg this is for sure the better play. But in SoloQ you need a mentality that YOU alone win the game. You dont want to stay behind your team, you need to step up. I recommend you learn how to entry frag and lurk and switch between these two things depending on your spawn. To stay at the Ancient Example: You have one of the best spawn for B and your team wants to go B? You will go entry frag. Thats your whole porpuse, Open the site, take and win the duels, go win. Your team wants to go B and your spawn is terrible? Go lurk! Its SoloQ, they will end up making a lot of noise even if you would ask for a contact play. USE that! Dont play against your team, use them. Lurk maybe around mid and wait for someone to jump up the boxes or try to sneak through A for a Backstack through CT on B. You take the advantage by abusing your teams mistake. Same goes for trading, you cant expect good trades from SoloQ Teammates so be the change! You have second best spawn and the best spawn teammate actually goes where they belong to act as an entry fragger? Be there, be the one to trade them off. You want to be the flexible one, you cant command your randoms, but you can see what they do and try to fill in the role that the team needs the most and that EVERY Single round anew.
4v3 Bomb down, yet you will see most people peak out from an advanteaugous spot to try and take another kill. I feel you! Its nice having much kills and even if it works 2/3 times, wouldnt you prefer winning 3/3 rounds for a kill less?! The goal of the afterplant is to have the bomb go off. If you take a good position and use your teammates as a bait, its almost impossible to loose the afterplant on the current maps. Yet Retakes keep happening because people try to boost their stats. 2.1. Not only the enemies Economy takes damage. As addition to point 2. a lot of people try to justify their throws by "wanting to damage the enemies economics" This is a huge missconsumption. I also thought so and peaked and hunted people in or after the afterplant to hurt the enemies economy until a friend of mine, (shoutout to dmitry <3 top 300 faceit) analyzed my replays and asked me to stop hunting people after the round. He went out of his way and actually calculated the numbers. If you dont believe me, try it for yourself! analyze some of your demos and look for the moments after a round or when its close to finish. make a list and on one site you will add all money you lost in weapons, util and equipment because you died to someone you were hunting and on the other site you write all numbers you TOOK from the enemies by hunting. You will realize one thing that should be obvious in the first place (but wasnt to me either): you will loose more because obviously the one hiding and holding an angle is more often than not at an advantage. So unless you are REALLY stacked out on economics, please just stop and start saving your weapons. Go with and behind your team, move with them so no one gets isolated finding the saving enemy on accident. be there to trade and dont be the dick that goes hunting for the kill on their own.
Thats for a simple reason. a kill does not equal a kill. Winning a 1v1 that allows your team to enter a site or winning a 1v1 in a clutch will win you the round. a 5 man eco spraydown will also win you the round. But they are not equal at all. If that one guy didnt spray the 5 eco clowns with usp and p2000 down, the second one couldve done it. If you didnt win the 1v1 clutch, the rounds over. Lost. So what does that mean? You need to value your own life. Yes, maybe if you chase the low HP enemy behind the corner, you get a freekill. Maybe your aim is insane and you will flick over and also kill their backup, turning the game into a 5v3. Now you get traded because a third stacked their. its a 4v3, seems fine, youve done the work and if every round goes like this you should win and be bound to climb because you are sooo good... Not. Sadly if you think like this you are missing out on the importance that the enemy that picked up your gun now, is as much of a human as you are. They could now get the drop on your teammates and win the round. Because you are not there anymore to stop them and remember? YOU are the most important member of your team, speaking chess you are the queen and you left your pawns to play against unknown figures. You need to value your life, you need to be there in the clutches but you cant do that when you greed for kills. This can be especially hard when you are (tip 1) the entry fragger, but you can work around it with movement. Jiggle peak corners, dont repeak into angles that the enemy knows you are behind off and leave it be if you cant get the kill immediatly and try again from another angle. You. Need. to. be. alive.
I thought its just that, that they influence my way of playing because i see how its done wrong and adapt wrong, but actually ive stumbled accros an interview with a sport psychologist recently. He asked how much time do you spend thinking about what the others around you do? Can you influence that while playing? No you cant, so you need to take that energy and brain capacity to think about what they are doing wrong. What i do by now, I tap out the game when I die, I dont need to see my teammate failing, I dont need to think lower of them after seeing them choke, its not my business anymore, because i already died. I need to think about myself and what i can do different to win that situation, so next time I wont die again. I cant recommend this enough, you cant change your randoms, only yourself. So start doing that in your games and you will see that you learn and grow way faster than before.
once said: find the right one but just make sure to stick it and stop changing it once youve found it. While I dont want to be absolute on the crosshair, i think this is insanely important for your mouse sensitivity and probably even res (4:3 / 16:9 / 21:9) Your muscle memory learns specific patterns, if you just change your sens because you couldnt flick fast enough the entire week, you wont fix the problem, you will just relocate it. Learn to be better with the setup you use instead of replacing it with other settings. There are insane good workshop maps, third party trainers and community servers that can help you train the ingame part. As for Hardware, yes for the first time in my life i believe you have a small advantage with a higher hz monitor in CS2, but remember one thing: the first time i reached global i had 21-25 fps on my laptop on 4:3 800x600, a 5 euro cabel mouse and couldnt play Mirage because the smokes would crash my PC. Good hardware is for sure an improvement on your gameplay. But its not a necessity and for sure you cant just buy your way up in skill by getting a more expensive setup. In fact i would bet, if you could have whatever setup you wish for right now in your hands, you would play better on your old setup. "I just need to get used to it" yea great, while you take some weeks of getting used to it, others keep training their skills on what they are already used on and therefore will improve while you get back to where you already where.
If you invite someone from the "wants to play" tab with 2k less elo than you, they will probably do a little worse than anyone else, but you want to climb, you are responsible to carry the game! They will allow you to play 1k underneath your current elo to dodge away from the cheaters and give you the potential to play against clean players and therefore boost your winrate. Just be aware that if you invite "too low" players you will earn less points for a win and loose more for a loss. But if you are a good player who claims to win more games against clean opponents, than this should be totally worth it.
You know the feeling of playing all the way through the night. For me it often started like this: "I dont want to end up on a loose" - then I win a game and imagine that i could make a lot of + now that its back on. Since i lost before i got nowhere anyway, another win would give me + for the day! Then i can stop! But if i win im on a streak and try to keep it going, if i loose i cant accept it and queue again. This is what i call the "gambling effect" Setup a rule for yourself, for example: I end it after 2 losses in a row. and try your best to stick to it. Rage Queuing is something probably anyone did before. My worst in CS2 was: 17k -> 14k (22:00 - 4:00) THEN I decided to keep going, to get the 17k back. And i did. (4:00 - 17:00) back to 17k. Literally 0 points progress in any direction. almost 20 fucking hours of counter strike on one go. Seriously, try to find something to stop your rage queue because i bet if i just went to sleep after the first 2 losses, i wouldve gotten it all back and way more if i just waited for the next day when im refreshed and full focused again. I hope these advices help you out on the ladder. Always remember to take it easy, in the end the climb is supposed to be a fun and tough challenge that we try to complete our own set of goals in. I left out stuff like "learn this our that lineup/skill/movement/aim" stuff because its literally anywhere. Same for communication and so on. These are just insights that i noticed myself while climbing and i couldnt find anywhere else. Maybe not everything here works as good for you, but I bet everyone can pickup or already does a point or two out of these. Thats all ive got for now! BE safe, good luck and fk cheaters! |

Hello everyone. I would like to apologize first for not responding to everyone's comment and to some peoples dm's. Ive been pretty busy with life and a lot has happened. Thank you to everyone who has shown support and have commented very nice things. Again sorry, i know its been a while.
I would like to start off by saying that my daughters are doing excellent, a bit sad after the court hearing but the are handling it well. I spoke with the ex's family about what had happened and have made peace with them. I think they like me? Not sure, the handshake was extra firm from the father. Her injuries have healed up nicely and so have mind. My nose ain't funny shaped anymore. Yes she decided to stay under my wing for a bit longer. My mother has been... very much a thorn on my side ever since the incident which is fine and all. Ill probably make another AITA post asking on advice about it. I have been feeling down and lazy. I wanted to get out, smell the roses, see something nice. You know what I mean.
A couple weeks ago it was my sons hearing, everyone attended. Including me. Despite everything I have said or felt or done. I know I cannot explain my feelings or thought process well but I had to be there. It was one of the saddest experiences in my life. As much as I hate what my son became, i still loved him and hearing him get sentenced for 12 years for his illegal drug possession and assault charges ( many other charges) was not easy. I took a short break off everything just to give me time to deflate. I went on a camping trip with all my daughters. I thought it was fun, almost got mauled by a bear but that's part of the fun. I became ( hood certified) according to my daughters over the food i made on the grill. Im gonna be honest. I do not know what that means but it sounds like they liked the food.
I have many regrets about how i handled the whole situation now that time has passed and the fog in my head was cleared. I did so many things wrong and did so many uneccasry things. Said shit that no father should ever tell his son. I make no excuses for my actions. I fucked up and I will live with my choices. I hope and pray that in the future I will be a better man and so will my son. I want to forgive him, I want him to forgive me, I want his sisters to forgive him. I.. just want my whole family back. But like everything life is unpredictable but I stay optimistic. Alot of people shot my personal dm's and I have read all of them. For those who I haven't replied to, sorry, I got very shy from how nice you guys were.
My daughters have been scimming the topic of me dating again. I thought it was sweet but I already had and loved a women. No one can replace her. I miss her. She probably would of smacked the shit outta me and told me off. Man.... I fucking miss you LIz. Life has been tough without you but Ive managed to raise a good strong family. You have lovely and strong daughters. They are doing well and are making their own path in life. Wish you were here to see it.

I was trying to look through some past threads but couldn't find anything on this topic really. I am curious as to what you enjoy about the tank role compared to DPS or support. Kinda hoping it could encourage me to get back to playing tank.
I used to play flex in OW 1 but enjoyed playing tanks like Winston, Rein, and a few others but in the transition to OW 2 I found it quite frustrating being the only tank. I remember a particular bad experience when I was performing well in the beginning of the match, got counter picked by the enemy tank and DPS which reduced my impact, but the rest of my team complaining that I'm not doing enough despite my DPS barely doing much. It got to the point where tank felt too frustrating and stressful and I ended up enjoying support and DPS more. Right now, I'm contemplating playing some Doomfist to spice up the game for me but I'm wondering if it's worth the effort (i.e., probably needing to increase my sens, VOD review, etc.). Curious on tank players' thoughts.

2024.05.13 17:36 emotionalboyz2002 My Bar Prep Experience- Summer 2023 (Passed, 317)
Around this time last summer, I began my bar exam journey. This test is stressful, and the prep process is overwhelming. Though I'm not into Reddit, I found myself looking to this subreddit for some commiseration and perspective, which was very helpful. I hope that by sharing my experience here, I can help you all out and give you some guidance and ease as you face this seemingly impossible task.
I began my prep the first Monday after graduating and continued my studies throughout the summer until the last Saturday before the Bar Exam. I used Barbri and set my study schedule so that I took weekends off. This meant that my daily study schedule was a bit longer than most people's (8-9 hours per day or so), but having weekends off was crucial for avoiding burnout as much as possible.
Don't feel bad for taking days off. Some people swear they work 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, the whole summer. If someone says they are doing that, they're either lying or overdoing it. You need to rest at least a little.
What you do when you're not doing bar prep is just as important as what you do during prep. I kept up with all my hobbies, continued hanging out with friends and family, and exercised regularly. You don't want to overdo it, burn out, and still have a month left before the test. You want to ensure you're peaking right when you take it. I also didn't work while I was studying. I know some people do, but those people are crazy lol. Try to avoid that if it's economically feasible for you.
The first set of Barbri videos covered all the MBE topics and gave some model MBE questions. I did terribly on almost all of these topics in these initial questions. If this happens to you, don't be discouraged; it's pretty standard, and your prep in the next few months will refresh your memory on these topics.
Next, Barbi focuses on the MBE topics. I made sure that I watched all the videos for all the topics and took active notes on them. I would watch at 1.25-1.5x speed but would pause whenever it felt like it was going too fast. In the early portions of my prep, I did what Barbri told me to do (the multiple choice, the practice MEEs, etc.), no more, no less, except for the parts where it just told me to read the outlines. The time it allocates for that is best used, in my opinion, to do the studying that helped you out the best during law school. I would use to make my own outline of the topic, but some people would make and study flashcards, review their notes, or do whatever they think is best.
There are long-form practice multiple-choice assignments for each MBE topic and a video that goes over each question in detail. Many people love these review videos, but they were not very helpful to me. The extra multiple-choice, however, is worth it.
Make sure you develop a consistent system for tackling the MPTs and MEEs. You don't need to do the full outline process that your bar prep recommends (I didn't), but you need to develop a systematic approach for writing these essays to finish on time and with a good answer.
After you finish the MBE topics, Barbri will have a full practice MBE, which mimics the MBE day of the test, with 200 questions split up into two parts. This is the most important thing for you to do. This will help you in so many ways because you will be used to the experience of taking the test all day, it will help show you which topics you need to emphasize more, and it will show you where you are in your testing and how you should continue to prepare in your future studies. I did well on this, so I just focused on the topics I wasn't doing as well on and reduced focus on the topics I was good at. It also helps you recognize your timing. I went through the MBE practice very quickly (I finished each part about 30 minutes early) and still did well, so I knew not to worry about that on the actual test day.
Then, you begin preparing for the MEE-only topics. This was by far the most intimidating portion for me because I had never taken family law or secured transactions and had never learned anything about choice of laws. I was lucky to have taken Business Associations and Wills and Trusts, so I already had a decent knowledge base for Agency, Partnerships and LLC, Corporations, Wills, and Trusts.
At that point, I also decided to supplement my resources and purchased Adaptibar just for additional MBE questions. The Barbri MBE questions became more and more particular over time and stopped being helpful, in my opinion. The Adaptibar questions are very similar to real bar exam questions and are great at helping you prepare and recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
Like with the MBE studying portion, I watched all of the videos, took detailed notes on the MEE topics, and did the recommended MEE practice questions. I made sure I focused extra on the topics I didn't take the class on and reduced focus on the other topics. This paid dividends, as I kinda of became a Secured Transactions guru. However, family law was still beyond me, and I just lucked out that it didn't end up on the exam.
After I finished the MEE videos, I stopped following the Barbri curriculum. I was a few weeks out from the bar exam, and I started to ramp up my studying. I started studying for longer times each day and included at least a few hours of studying on Saturdays and Sundays. I would split my days between Adaptibar questions and taking practice MEEs and MPTs from the Barbri book.
About a week before the test, I decided to do my own "MPT/MEE day," where I did two full MPTs and the six MEEs in one day, like on the test. This was tremendously helpful, as I knew what to expect and how I would feel during the test.
I stopped studying on the Saturday before the bar exam. I tried to relax then, but I was nervous and on edge. The test is massive, and you can't possibly know everything. The prep process is grueling and psychologically damaging. It's hard to understand before you do it, but you will be different after studying for and taking the test. I lost a ton of sleep those few months, and in the days leading up to the two test days, I never slept more than a half night.
The day before the test, I drove to the hotel where I was staying and tried to get some rest. Unfortunately, my hotel was shit. Its AC was so loud it sounded like a lawnmower was in my room. I fell asleep at 1030, woke up at 2:30, and never fell back asleep. I was very nervous and scared. I drank a Red Bull, ate breakfast, had a big cry, and then went to sit for the first day of the test. I was so scared, but since I did so much prep, my instincts kicked in once the test began, and by the end of the day, I felt like I did well. I got lucky on the topics for the MEE and never got anything lower than a 3.
The next day was less stressful. Since I did well on the first day, the die was cast, and I felt way less pressure. The MBE was my best portion, and I finished both halves really quickly. I'll never forget the feeling of relief when I left the exam room. I felt like I had just slayed a dragon.
That's it! I was so exhausted the night after that I could barely put coherent sentences together. I had to wait until October to receive my scores, but I felt good. 317/400, and I passed. The day I received my score was possibly the best day of my life.
Long story short, there is no avoiding the stress of the bar exam. This test is hard and unfair and will change you forever. I did my best to avoid stress and burnout, but that's just not possible. Sorry if I rambled too long; I did not mean to write this much, lol. Good luck! You can beat this test!
