~A QUESTION:~ Thank-you for all the fine articles. With what I am understanding, is the preaching work changed or what Jesus was referring to as being preached in all the inhabited earth complete? I hope you understand my question.
~REPLY:~ Hello Xxxx, I also hope I understand your question. Since you cited Matt.24:14, I will assume you are asking about the meaning of this verse, and how it applies to our day. You don't say whether or not you are a JW, but this people define the "good news of the Kingdom" as the declaration that the Kingdom arrived in 1914, and that it will bring a long list of blessings to those who: learn all current JW teachings, join their program of meetings and publication study, and subject themselves to the organizational arrangements and leadership.
If you are asking if this preaching work is the true meaning of Matt.24:14 and the "good news of the Kingdom" being preached, I don't believe this is so. Why? Because the very understanding of the kingdom, which JW's teach, is faulty. For this reason, I doubt this is the message Jesus had in mind at Matt.24:14. (see http://pearl-generation.blogspot.com/ ) Up until very recently, it seemed that such a message could not be declared in "all the earth", EXCEPT by the Organization of Jehovah's witnesses. But this previous situation has taken an unexpected sudden turn. With current technology, a single individual with little resource can publish information, translate it into any language, have the aid of an instant concordance and Bible translations, and send that information all over the world, and all for free. (Dan.11:34; Zech.4:6) So the presumption that only the WTBTS can declare a worldwide proclamation of Kingdom good news, is no longer true. This opens up the possibility, that a different message could be declared before the "end will come" Matt.24:14. Since the message now being declared by JW's is full of error, I suspect that the true good news of the kingdom is quite different from it, and is yet to be seen.
I also suspect that it will be a declaration that all 144,000 are finally sealed, the kingdom's administration is completely prepared (Eph.1:10; Rev.12:10,12; 14:1; 7:4) and Christ's arrival is imminent. Jesus said that the anointed needed to keep their lamps of truth burning until he did arrive (Luke12:35,36,37,38,39,40). This arrival has not yet happened (1Cor.11:26). There is currently so much error of doctrine to correct due to Satan's work, that no, we will not finish the true preaching work, before the end comes. I do suggest that you give deep consideration of Matt.10:16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23:

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes."

Perhaps you may notice a few differences between the "good news" being preached by JW's, and the one being spoken about in these scriptures. Notice that the preaching would bring the anointed into conflict with their own religious leaders so much so, that they would be "EXPELLED, scourged, delivered up, betrayed by family members, and hated by all" (Rev.11:9,10). But if you notice Matt.10:23; who were the anointed preaching to? The world? No, "Israel". Who is "Israel" just before "the son of man comes"? God's people are no longer the physical Jews, but spiritual Jews (Gal.3:29; 6:16; Rom.2:29). Notice again verse 23:

For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

It says, that "Israel" will not receive a complete witness, before the SON OF MAN COMES. Therefore, this is not speaking about the witness given in the first century, but the witness given just before Christ returns/"comes", our time of the last days. Yes, the "Israel of God" is actually the ones who need to be preached to before the end. They are now located around the globe, so the witness needs to "be preached in all the inhabited earth" for a witness in every Nation. Yet according to Matt.10:23, it is directed to "Israel". This work DOES cause being "expelled, scourged, delivered up, betrayed by family members, and hated by all", because most of "Israel" refuses to hear the truth about their error. Those who speak of it are disfellowshipped/ "expelled" by elders who are not anointed (John16:2; Isa.66:5; Rev.13:7,15; 11:7) [these are considered by Jehovah, as spiritual Gentiles, not anointed Jews (anointed are "circumcised of heart" (Rom.2:29) and are the Temple (1Cor.3:16; 1Pet.2:5)] These "Gentiles" do not belong serving in the anointed "Temple" (2Chron.23:6,7; Ezek.44:6,7,8,9; Matt.24:15), and throwing out the genuine "priests" (1Pet.2:9; Rev.5:10; Heb.12:22;23; 2Chron.13:9; 1Cor.3:17; Rom.8:33; 2 Peter 2:10; Jude1:8).
Most JW anointed ones prefer to believe in a false "peace and security" (Jer.6:13,14; Isa.30:10; 1Thess.5:3) under the mistaken belief, that YHWH's only requirement for them is to be dominated by the Image of a "spirit directed Organization" (Rev.13:14,15), and that YHWH's approval is the same as approval from this Organization of men (Rev.13:13,6,8). This is in opposition to the scriptures, which exhort the Chosen to be directed by their anointing by spirit (1John2:20,21,27,28,26; Rom.8:14) and the One who anointed them. The elders did not anoint the Chosen Priests. That Organizational Beast is now represented in each Congregation by elders (spiritual Gentiles), who are NOT spiritual Jews/ anointed, nor are they meant to be the spiritual heads of the Chosen Priests of God's spiritual Temple (1Cor.3:16; Rev.11:1,2; Rom.14:4; 8:33). Most members of the "Israel" of God today, are in subjection to these, rather than to Christ as their head (Col.1:18). Jesus is supposed to be the only mediator between God and the anointed (1Tim.2:5). There is also no scriptural basis for the anointed to have a "representative" Governing Bdy. ruling over them (Mark10:42,43,44). These are the ones who have set this policy, to throw out any who disagree with them (not those who disagree with scripture) Matt.24:48,49; Rev.17:6). You may also want to consider where Jesus continues in Matt.10; Matt.10:24,25,26

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known."

Notice that Jesus says that all this persecution happens because of things that are "covered"/hidden. Yes, the Israel of God is in spiritual trouble, because of not seeing all the truth about their situation, nor can they view the true prophets correctly (Rev.11:3). Those faithful witnesses of truth are seen as wicked (Just as Jesus was) (Rev.11:9,10). But Jesus promises that the truth will become known (2Pet.3:10 c; Isa.28:17; Amos7:7,8,9; Nahum3:5; Jer.13:26; Rev.17:16; 2Thess.2:8). The "good news" includes that despite most of "Israel" remaining blind, deaf, and asleep; the faithful remnant will be sealed, and the kingdom will come (Matt.22:14; Isa48:20,21; 49:5; Jer.31:7). The whole truth about the realities of how the Kingdom will operate and bring blessings to the physical Creation, will also finally be made plain (Rev.10:7; 1Cor.13:10). The true "faithful and discreet" "Sons of God", will also then, finally be revealed (Rom.8:19; Isa.41:27; 60:1-5; Ezek.14:22,23; Hosea1:10; 2:23).

Hello my dear fellow telemarking Telemarketers or telemarketing Telemarkers!
I am out there in the interwebs looking for a good deal on an NTN setup and was hoping you can help me / provide some input.
I am not a particularly good skier (I did alpine for 15 years, and then converted to snowboarding for the last 20 years) but have an old 75mm Telemark setup for a good while now that I occasionally whip out when going with beginning friends, or when the conditions are abysmal and you still want to do something to progress a little bit on.
My kids picked up skiing last winter and I had the telly skis out a little bit more to shrub around behind them. Then, one fateful day, I rented an NTN setup (Armada Tracer with an OutlawX) and LOVED it! Really fun to ski an NTN setup and way less exhausting than my 7tm.
I’m 6ft / 183cm, 180lbs / 82kg. And looking at something in the 96 – 106mm width region. Mainly slopes, some sidecountry (eventually), but don’t see myself touring anytime soon.
When shopping around I found the following options and was wondering what you all think:

• Line Blade Optic 104 (22/23) in 178cm with Meidjos 3 SR -> 860EUR
• Line Vision 98 (22/23) in 179cm, also with Meidjos -> 900EUR
• Line Blade Optic 96 (23/24, pretty ugly) in 177cm with OutlawX -> 850EUR

I don’t know much about the Meidjos but those are set prices and they don’t have size L OutlawXs anymore but I read they are not too dissimilar when it comes to how they ski? Kind of am intrigued by the releaseability (read: bad knees). I’m not set on Line either (was just what was left in what I assume is a good ski length).
Another complicating factor is that I don’t have boots yet. I was thinking of getting either the new TX Pros when they come out, or the (then hopefully heavily discounted) old TX Pros. But, of course, they have different sole lengths, so I don’t’ know how to have them mounted (are +/- 9mm a big deal?).
Wow, what a wall of text!
Tl;dr: What kind of ski and binding makes a good first NTN setup for a non-aggessive part-time shredder? Bonus points for in stock, on sale items, in shops that mount Telly bindings in EU or US (have family in the former and live in the latter). Thanks a ton!

(Hyper dramatised, cringe intro about myself) The following contains the tale of an aro ace trans woman who, against all odds, has the desire to love and be loved, and hence has set out to find the smile that makes the moon look pale. Again.
Wretched was the evening when Ms. Raen Death Vietor (edgy much for 20 y/o?), me that is, realised that despite all the facades she wears, she has a heart full of love that she wants to share with another woman (or women, she don’t mind) who has walked the world for 18-24 years. Love was always hard for her, seeing her train wreck of an identity, which is as follows: Polyamorous femsensual cupioromantic aegosexual trans feminine voidpunk. You might be tempted to say “Those are a buncha made up words!” to which she’d reply “Shut up, nerd. All words are made up.”How does feeling no romantic attraction but still wanting to date work out for her? One knows not, for nobody wants her. “Oh, she a loser!” you’d think and not one being would object.
To the world, she is just another Computer Science trans fem (many such cases), but secretly, she is a major brain nerd who wants to study Computational Neuroscience or Neuroengineering, along with Psychology, Literature, Maths, Physics, Astronomy, Paleontology, Zoology— My Stars! Someone make her shut up!
Now, you’d assume she is a massive nerd—big round glasses level of nerd—which she definitely is, but she is also just a dum-dum who wants to run away to the woods and be a terrifying witch and write her books. Her books about Gods, and simulations, and people with superpowers, and how companionship can make m0rder of super powerful entities an easy task where you collect queer people on the way. And die. Lots of death. She is just a girl, after all. Oh, how she loves writing! Partially why she is talking about herself in 3rd person at 2 in the morning of a random Friday. …what have I become? No, I must persevere. Delulu is the solulu.
Fate as it may be, she has not been able to start HRT yet. Not that HRT would do much for her transition goals either, for no human medicine can make her grow claws and wings and turn into the demonic creature that keeps peasants away from the woods out of fear. She must settle for making her form slightly feminine. What a cope, really. Or maybe not. She is hopeful.
Just as she is hopeful to find someone who dares love her; like how the sunlight loves the moon, how the light loves the dark, and how love loves war. Maybe, one day, she will find someone whose voice feels to her like medicine, whose smile glows in her dark, and whose presence feels like home.
That someone could be you. If you miraculously find her interesting or want to have a chat with her, put your heart in a message and send it through the winds that blow to her. She will be sure to hold it tenderly.

The following is a min/max strategy to get MINIMUM double the typical wisp rewards from your moonrite flora. If petal distributions follow what I observed, rewards could easily approach quadruple what you'd get from claiming the flora organically. I think doing this would cost you maybe 2 extra minutes once a week and the annoyance of having unclaimed flora in your mail.
I tested the following strategy on a character that had built up enough flora to start accumilating it in the in-game mail. In-game flora storage is FIFO (first-in-first-out) and game uses no particular logic to choose them beyond that for rites. However, players have control of the order of claiming flora from in-game mail so it IS possible to create a pipeline of curated flora sets that will greatly increase your wisp output. Tests confirmed that claiming the flora from mail in an order different from the order they were originally earned does in fact carry over into the flora pipeline.
For reference this is the in-game explanation for petals for any given rite and the corresponding rewards. Note that petal sets of the same color offer double rewards so a "rite 3" of the same color will yield 10 wisps at once which is a lot of dungeons I didn't have to spam!
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1195002615289880586/1237962537128165458/image0.jpg?ex=66477135&is=66461fb5&hm=9e2c8899ddd9fe5e5d59c92aa895bf4e47d7550937ec3983ba5c48e663c8bed9&
The steps are as follows:

1. Stack up flora until it caps at 99 (the 5 you see in the UI plus 99 storage) and then game starts throwing overflow beyond this into mail which includes an image that indicates the color and number of petals.
2. Build up an excess of flora in your mail to the point where you can get at least one "ideal" set of 5 flora for a "rite 3". Ideal combination would be exactly 20 petals of same color.
3. Do one rite from your ungroomed stash which should bring you to 94 stored flora from 99.
4. Claim one junky flora (1 petal, doesn't matter what color) to get yourself to 95. this will even out the numbers so the next 5 in become a full set when it's eventually their turn. NOTE: This part is VERY important because if you're off by one then your future flora sets will NOT be as expected and this will have been a big waste many weeks in the making.
5. Claim 4 out of the 5 pieces of the "ideal" set you identified in step 2 while making note of the 5th piece for future reference.
6. When you are able to make another ideal "rite 3" set, run a rite and then claim the piece you set aside in step 5 and then claim 4 of the new ideal set to get yourself back up to 99 stored flora. The last piece of the new set will become the "reserve" piece to use next from mail.
7. Repeat step 6 if possible as you continue to build up flora but eventually this won't be possible as you'll end up with excess small flora. Look for ways to also queue up ideal "rite 1" and "rite 2" sets of same color. That would be sets totaling 5 and 15 petals respectively from the same color. How much you min/max this will depend on how much of your mail space you're willing to dedicate to flora. I personally think I'll have 10-40 flora mail at any given moment and I'll check for viable combos about once a week.
8. It will take a long time for this to pay off but once it starts paying off you'll be getting double rewards every single rite PLUS benefit of min-maxed petal use which increases reward even further over how the game does it naturally.

As a random aside this is the flora ordering number once it finally makes it into the end of the pipe: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1195002615289880586/1240751474313793556/Screenshot_2024-05-16_144623.png?ex=6647b35b&is=664661db&hm=60fdcacdf6a5029d9a5c0c053e5a82c9050dd507027d6815e02dcdf2d1271196&

The information detailed in this narrative is undergoing review and in the process of being updated.
Our philosophy within the SSDI_SSI Subreddit is to share our experiences to try to assist others. It does not necessarily mean that any shared experience will be a duplicate of your current experiences or outcomes.
Sometimes?
Just knowing that someone else has made it through similar difficult processes may make a huge difference to the stress you are currently (or soon will be) experiencing.
While I was going through some really rough times? I kept notes regarding some of the issues I was having, the numerous helpful resources I came across, and the search techniques I utilized.
Some of the resources I came across had nothing to do with a specific issue that I was experiencing.
However? If I thought the resources could be:

■ helpful to others?	■ relevant?
■ informative?	■ significant?

I kept track just in case the resources could be of assistance to others.
I gathered all of the notes / links I had collected and created this narrative through the years.
These resources are relative to people who live in the USA.
Although other countries may have such programs, they would (most likely) not share the same links.
You could utilize similar techniques (not the exact same links found here) to search for helpful resources in your community, perhaps.
In the USA? If you have a SmartPhone or a computer? You can actually call / locate sites that offer assistance and / or let your fingers do the walking!

Disability Eligibility Requirements

If you or a loved one are 💯% disabled? You should consider applying for SSA disability benefits.
All SSA disability programs have the same criteria in regards to eligibility. If unable to work because of a medical / psychological condition, you are eligible for SSA disability benefits.
■ You have to be 💯% disabled (SSA does not award benefits for partial disabilities).
■ Unable to work.
■ Have a disability that will last for at least a year or end in your death.

We pay disability benefits to people who can't work because they have a medical condition that's expected to last at least one year or result in death. Federal law requires this very strict definition of disability. While some programs give money to people with partial disability or short-term disability, we do not.

If you have not already done so? Sign up for mySocialSecurity, with the ability to provide secure online access to your current earnings record and history. Information regarding your retirement, disability, and any survivor benefits that you and your family may be eligible for will also be accessible. Also? Your potential monthly benefits will be calculated.

Education

Continuing your education is a great way to learn.
You can go to school online and not even leave your home. Take a class here and there. Go to school at 3:00 am on a Wednesday or 4:00 pm on a Saturday.
There are no worries about parking, transportation, or rushing to make it to a class from your job.
Some states offer free college tuition for the first two years. There are other charges like room and board, textbooks and transportation (which will need to be paid for out of pocket).
Apply for Pell Grants or other types of assistance. Ask the school for whatever other programs may be avaliable to you.

Health Insurance

If you need health insurance? You might want to consider applying for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is income based. Benefits are different for each state. Depending on:
■ what agreement your state's Governor signed and your state's legislatures approved?
■ if the last administration allowed insurance policies (that cover nothing) to proliferate your state?
Your options are variable. Meaning? Your benefits will be uniquely tailored for your financial qualifications and your state.

Interested in Moving?

We decided we needed to move when we noticed that the community we lived in did not provide the support we needed to have a better life.
We wanted to move to a location that offered exposure to better healthcare, health insurance, housing and paratransit services.
So?
Make a list of items that are important to you and your family. Rank them in order of importance.
Remember? Each community is different and offers different services.
Each jurisdiction has a Chamber of Commerce page or other similar resource that lists issues you might be interested in.
I searched the internet, made lists, and came up with the following resources (presented in alphabetical order) that were important to our family. You and your family might have other criteria.

(1) Helping Hands

Helping Hands Action Group monitors the benefits landscape for updates and changes to policies and programs. Depending on the jurisdiction? They offer transportation and other services. You should check 12345 Helping Hands in your area.
Check out the Helping Hands Action Group - click here.

(2) Medicaid Expansion

The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Medicaid expansion expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults with incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($20,783 for an individual in 2024) and provided states with an enhanced federal matching rate (FMAP) for their expansion populations.

To date, 41 states (including DC) have adopted the Medicaid expansion and 10 states have not adopted the expansion. Current status for each state is based on KFF tracking and analysis of state expansion activity.

Check out the Status of State Medicaid Expansion Decisions: Interactive Map - click here.

(3) Paratransit / Transportation

Another thing you should consider adding to the list? Check to see what type of transportation services are offered.
You never have to worry about parking, blizzards, running out of fuel or parking meter money, taffic or anything else that would be a hindrance.
If your community has bus routes? You might have paratransit services available to you.
The fair is reasonable (much better than ubers, taxis or something else).
You do not need to be in a wheelchair for paratransit services.
The driver will walk you to and from the door of the building (your home and the appointment and vice versa).
You can use the services for anything you want to, such as vists to:

beauty parlors	parks
community events	physical therapy
library visits	school events
medical appts	shopping excursions
movies	veterinarian appts
museums	volunteer work

Anything you can think of - it is such a blessing.
I have lived in areas that had paratransit and areas that did not offer paratransit. It makes a huge difference in your sense of independence to be able to attend appointments and go places you need to. Without the interference of worrying about reliable transportation.

First of all, Hello there. I have been absent for well over 3 weeks at this point.
But that's not the point.
Today I wanna talk abt a specific Hypercharge for a brawler that isn't necessarily horrible but has major flaws.
In short, El Primo's Hypercharge sucks.
"Gravity Leap" pulls enemies towards the Epicenter of El Primo's super. While this def helps El Primo getting kills more consistently, there are a couple of things that should be discussed:
1) El Primo's enemies get shot way higher compared to his normal super, making El Primo no longer able to hit enemies while they're in the aiknocked back or whatever
2) The Hypercharge Multiplier of El Primo's Hypercharge is 30%. The Hypercharge Multiplier is a percentage that indicates how many supers it takes a brawler to charge a Hypercharge.
For El Primo's, what u need to do is divide 100 by 30 and the result is 3.33, which means that El Primo needs 3.33 supers to charge 1 Hypercharge.
That means that for a Hypercharge that does barely anything, u need to charge more than 3 supers.
3) "Gravity Leap" doesn't make El Primo's super bigger.
In the previous Brawl Talk (I think), The Brawl Stars Community Managers were, well, talking abt the next update and at one point they showed the set of Hypercharges.
These were: Bibi, El Primo, Cord, Belle, Buzz and Sprout.
While most of them are either pretty strong or just average, there's El Primo's which is just bad (yes, ik that Sprout's is also completly useless, but this post isn't abt Sprout)
In this brawl talk, the said that El Primo's Hypercharge should not only pull enemies closer towards El Primo, but also make EL PRIMO'S SUPER LARGER. They literally said it and if u don't believe and go and check it out at minute 2:45.
This whole thing makes me pretty sad. They ruined a Hypercharge that sounded balanced, even with the super being larger. Instead, just nerfing it at the last minute before sneak peeks.
Like I think that even with the larger super, El Primo's Hypercharge could have been fair and balanced, while not being such an underwhelming Hypercharge.
So, what should be done? I have been thinking abt this and I found a couple of solutions:
1) Make his super bigger while Hypercharged, like they said in the video. Not by much, like 20% bigger or smth like that
2) Just rework it. Now this is easier said then done.
Finding the perfect rework is impossible without receiving backlash by making the ability/mechanic itself weaker or busted.
Now this is my idea for a rework:
"Gravity Leap" keeps enemies inside of El Primo's Super Epicenter kinda of like a black hole, keeping them stuck for 1.5 seconds.
Basically El Primo's super stuns enemies for 1.5 seconds while keeping the ability to sucks enemies towards the super's Epicenter.
If this ends up being busted, just nerf the suction duration
If this ends up being not enough, then just make his Hypercharge Multiplier 40% instead of 30% of smth among those lines.
Now this is my idea for fixing and to just talk abt El Primo's Hypercharge which is just not the best. Is it one of the worst. Personally, yes. Feel free to insult me and disagree. U can roast me if u want to, tho if u do it I will also roast u.
But yea, this is it and I'll see you soon! Have a good night.

In the game Divinity: Original Sin, the weirdest class I played was the Ranger. At first, life was pretty rough. Using basic arrows were pretty underwhelming and getting and using magical ammunition felt good, but was incredibly expensive/hard to find early on in the game. As the game went on, though, and both materials and money became much easier to come by, things started to change. I dubbed my ranger a "Money Wizard" because, effectively, instead of paying for spells in slots and cooldowns, I was paying in straight cash and materials. If I had the resources to fund my lifestyle, I could realistically do what most of the magic classes could do to enemies every single turn. It was kind of a joke, but also a super interesting concept and it worked really well. Surprisingly, the potential is also there in this system with the Thaumaturge.
The Thaumaturge with a scroll can hit like a full caster with the same spell at the majority of levels. With Scroll Thaumaturgy, all their scrolls' DCs (Rumored to also apply to attack rolls) scale based on their class DC. The Thaumaturge's Class DC is only two points behind a caster's DC at levels 7,8, 15, 16, 19, and 20 and otherwise the same. That surprised me a fair bit. As far as the in-combat logistics, Scroll Thaumaturgy also has you covered. Since you can hold a scroll in the same hand as your implement, you can roll into combat with up to two implements and two scrolls in hand and be able to use all of them freely. But, I mean, the Thaumaturge is a martial, so how are we going to afford all these scrolls? The Wand is the way.
The Wand implement effectively gives the Thaumaturge the "cantrip" for the Money Wizard. It's free, it's nice, and it scales surprisingly well. It isn't super flexible, so I would recommend starting off with electricity and branching out to fire or cold with the Adept Benefit. It is competitive with ranged cantrips and gains range, rider effects, and a 1 action "spellshape" that adds a significant amount of extra damage, culminating at level 17 in effectively giving an at-will ability with the damage and area of a Rank 5 Fireball with rider effects on a failed save and freely chosen between fire, cold, and electricity damage. Additionally, it de-emphasizes the need for runes, so we can chuck the majority of our budget into just buying scrolls. A recommendation to squeeze a bit more out of this wand is to take some kind of spellcasting archetype (Bard is convenient), so that you can make your wand implement a magical wand and get yet another casting of a spell through the power of the almighty gold coin.
The biggest problem is pretty much always going to be the economic side of things. Ostensibly, you can "convert" a Striking rune into 5 Rank 2 scrolls or 16 Rank 1 scrolls with a similar amount of gold, which isn't a terrible number for the Rank 1's, but is definitely on the skinny side for Rank 2s, especially considering it is a fairly large amount of the budget. You might be able to scrap up some looted scrolls, which would be pretty funny, but that's going to be random. Scroll Esoterica and its line will give you a few more lower level scrolls, but that feels like more of a bonus than a true budget reliever. This may be the biggest impediment to the Money Wizard concept. One thing that could help significantly, if downtime is available, is to gain Magical and Communal Crafting and work together with your caster(s) during downtime to Craft some scrolls to mitigate some of that cost. Outside of that, though, you will probably always be a least one spell rank behind, except for certain circumstances.
Of course, regular Wizards (or any caster) can ALSO be Money Wizards, if they want, because you can just buy and use a bunch of scrolls of anything from your tradition, but I find it interesting that a non-caster might be able to do the same thing and, even more interestingly, without being beholden to any spell tradition. Outside of being tradition agnostic and having a very strong damage cantrip in the Wand implement, though, there are significant weaknesses due to a limit on how many at-Rank scrolls a Thaumaturge can produce in a given level.

Does anyone know of resources/organizations that help individuals such as the person below?
I recently met a 20 something yo man struggling to live independently. There is likely some neurodivergence issues influencing the problem. But he is incredibly trusting and giving and is constantly in new parasocial/online relationships that drain him of money, not to mention cause conflict that I think distracts him from being able to hold down a job or pursue more real community connections. He is in and out of homelessness based entirely on how willing his parents are to find him/bring him home/allow him to live there. But they (rightfully enough) try to move him along again (without seemingly providing much more help or guidance; but I may not have a full picture) and the process repeats.
He may need some degree of financial support, but he would probably benefit immensely just learning how to fill out some gov benefit forms and having someone that can discuss with him these relationships, ways to think about his money and needs, &c.
Any leads would be appreciated.

I recently became of age a few months ago, i went to a rave(marauda at echostage) the first week i could. i’ve been so obsessed with edm and raves eversince. i live in the district, soundcheck and echostage are pretty much the only options for me right now and they can be really fun but i’m getting a lot of fomo because pretty much all the best clubs are 21+. when i had to miss LTJ i knew i had to find a method :(. echostage has really cool production but i wasn’t a huge fan of the crowd. a lot of them seemed kinda stuck up. when i finally went to soundcheck, i noticed how much friendlier the crowd was. i’ve still got 3 years before i can access the vast majority of clubs. because of the clubs i’m limited to, there’s usually only something i’m interested in seeing every other week or so and honestly that’s not enough for me lol. not a fan of lyric heavy pop remix kinda stuff. other than that i’m very open minded. i wonder if some of these clubs im dying to go to will even stay in business that long. my friends with fakes that go to clubs(normal clubs) told me how some places are just impossible to get into with a fake, so i wonder if it’s even worth it. i can source a pretty advanced one that scans and has all security features. the only purpose for it would be edm clubs honestly. people i meet at clubs usually are often surprised im 18 and guess 20, but idk if i really look 21. i’m really interested in flash dc and culture, the Nu Androids events look so cool. does anyone how serious their id procedures are? is it worth it?

My stepdaughter is almost 10, her dad and I have been together since she was 7. She was an only child, I had a couple kids from a previous marriage, & we have a child together. Her mother wasn’t always in her life but has been consistently since she was 5. My husband and I and her mother both have stable homes. Let’s start from the beginning…
When I first met Sabrina (not her real name) she seemed like the sweetest, most well behaved kid I had ever met. From the start we had a great relationship and she loved spending time with me. Her dad and I eventually moved in together, along with my kids. At first everything was great. Then as time started passing I started noticing my kids start to “dislike” Sabrina. There were a lot of fights and arguments. I would ask what the problem was and they would just say things like “Sabrina did this” or “Sabrina did that” and Sabrina would always deny whatever it was. I started paying closer attention and listening to what was going on. I would hear Sabrina whisper things in a soft voice and then lie about it when I would ask why she said something, even though I just heard her. Or I would witness her hitting one of the kids and she would lie about doing it.
We started having problems with her at school. She would refuse to pay attention & refuse to do her homework. Her teacher said that she would do anything other than pay attention or do her work. She was diagnosed with ADHD in the beginning of 2023 and has been on 2 medications for it since then. We had hoped this would help with some of the issues we were having. It seemed to help some in the beginning but now things have escalated and gotten worse. Her teachers have all said she knows how to do the work, and I also have noticed that she knows how to do the work. She doesn’t ask for help very often.
She now lies about everything. She will lie about doing homework, she will lie about cleaning her room, she will lie about things she did at her mom’s house, and things she does at our house. She will hit & push the other kids and lie about it. She will hit and kick the dogs and lie about it. She just doesn’t listen to anything we tell her anymore. She doesn’t have very many friends. She is constantly blaming others for her problems and the way she acts. She has a constant need for validation and gets very jealous and envious of anyone else getting attention besides her. It’s like she refuses to follow directions that any adult gives her.
Now she has never told us “No” when we ask or tell her to do something. She will always walk away like she’s going to do what is asked but doesn’t do it.
Example: Me: Sabrina please go clean your room. S: ok, walks to room and comes back 20 minutes later. Me: is your room clean? S: I cleaned someone of it. Me: please go finish cleaning S: ok, walks to room and comes back 5 minutes later. Me: is it clean? S: yeah Me: ok, I’m going to check. Walks in room and nothing is cleaned.
Another example: Me: do you have homework? S: yes Me: ok, please work on it. S: sits at the table and “pretends to do homework” Me: is your homework finished? S: no Me: Sabrina please finish your homework *20 minutes later still not finished. S: it’s finished now. Me: I find the unfinished homework shoved in her toy box.
We have talked to her doctor regarding these issues and started counseling because she said “she needed help to stop lying”. We are trying our best to be patient and currently doing present moment parenting. But it seems like anything we do doesn’t help. We’ve tried being nice and talking, we’ve tried rewards, we’ve tried grounding, we’ve asked her what she needs, etc. and nothing seems to be working. Her counselor suggested seeing a psychiatrist because Sabrina told her that she “sometimes feels controlled by something in her head that’s telling her to do these bad things”. She does have some empathy for others but not always. Things are just continuing to get worse. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
TIA!

I have an amateur background in game design, concept artist, study game design, work in education, and honestly obsessed with game design as a whole. Heros, cards, mechanics, systems etc, etc, I’m very passionate about it and I don’t want to sound pompous cause i am aware to how the “oh I KNOW about game design” sounds, but I am serious about it so I don’t want this to sound like it comes from ignorance.
Here’s the list of changes, tell me what stands out, ideas, etc..
General- ultimate Charge rates need to be increased significantly, cooldowns should not carry over between rounds. Healing across the board needs to be reduced slightly which I will go into in each character suggestion for Strategist. (If not mentioned the healing stays the same)
Give players more information- damage numbers, stats, healing numbers, ability explanations, Etc..
Teamups need to be reworked or removed from the game all together. They should be flavorful add ons, not so important that they make or break a charcater like magneto and scarlet witch or almost useless like Magik and black panther, or massively oppressive like punisher and rocket.
Seasonal buffs need to be removed. They are not enjoyed in any game they have ever been in, and creates artificial metas. Also defeats the purpose of the playing your favorite characters, because it pushes you to play other characters if the seasonal buffs are made too strong.
Melee damage characters need to have movement speed increased above normal speeds to help chase and not get backpedaled by other characters. Black panther, spiderman, hulk, etc.
More signs you are taking damage, either visual effects, screen effects, sounds, etc. sometimes it’s hard to tell where or who is damaging you and makes the game feel floaty.
Possible suggestion- add “power” health- a new type of health that can replace a portion of characters like vanguards health bars, that reduce instances of damage by a percentage. Rapid damage instances will be reduced more than single shots.
Example: A fast hitting attack that does 10 damage multiple times will be reduced more than an instance of damage that does 70 damage 1 time.
Similar to armor in other games. Example- hulk health: 400HP+200 power= 600 total on health bar.
Add a universal HP regen when out of combat for a certain time period.
Add a role lock or Queue system, at least in competitive play. Unbalanced teams are un-fun to play against and un-fun to play with.
Hulk- put his leap on a cooldown, dealing damage when he lands. Remove the targeter and make it a leap in the direction he is looking with a set distance about the maximum length of the current jump if not a little less. Also let him aim it down to target people next to him.
Start the game and respawn as the hulk instead of Banner. Makes getting out of spawn after dying take way too long to return to the fight and serves no real purpose compared to other vanguard.
Remove the radioactive lockdown ability, and replace it with something new. Doesn’t feel like a “hulk” ability.
Ability concept Suggestion: a stomp that leaves a jagged rock wall going forward and up in a line that knocks up enemies and damages them. Leaving the wall in place as an obstacle that can be destroyed or that last a short duration before breaking.
Vanguards are all about controlling the area; and right now hulk just doesn’t do that, he feels like a giant duelist who’s doesn’t do any damage.
Gamma burst- reduce damage, now pierces enemies.
Increase melee damage slightly.
Overall the hulk doesn’t feel powerful like the hulk should, I feel like these changes can fix that problem.
Magento- Replace his primary fire with the greatsword from his team up. Reduce the damage, cleave width and range.
Metal bulwark- can now place it on himself as well as Allies.
Metallic curtain- blocking damage adds to megnetos metal rings.
New passive- hold jump button to float into the air, doing so slowly consumes metal rings. Can no longer slowly descend.
Team up (if they are kept in the game)- scarlet witch makes metal malwark deal damage in the area around it when destroyed or when it ends.
Peni Parker- Make being pulled to her web a cooldown that can be activated, instead of being a certain distance away. Current form of set distance feels very clunky, and awkward to use in regular gameplay.
Reduce the amount of mines placeable, and damage of arachno-mines. Limit amount of mines to either 5 or 6. I stopped counting when I had 14 mines on the ground at the same time.
Make arachno-mines able to be destroyed by shooting them. Mines inside the webs are now invisible.
Mines from the ultimate are not limited in amount.
Doctor strange- Reduce damage on primary fire.
Groot- Reduce the amount of walls that can be placed. 1 for each wall type at a time. Cooldown of each wall starts when walls are retrieved or destroyed.
Walls now also have a duration.
I know the initial idea of him building ramps and connecting walls was cool, but in practice it just provides too much ability spam potential instead of building like intended, and that many obstacles in the game at one time that can be used rapidly makes some matches purely unplayable.
Reduce damage of primary fire to be more similar to hulk. ( no reason Groot should have more damage at a longer range)
Ironwood wall health reduced to 600 from 900.
Reduce damage Groot Ultimate does significantly, almost to nothing. Around 50 damage on initial hit and ticks of 5 damage for its duration.
Storm- Make movement similar to magneto, where she floats on the ground. And an activated flight can be turned on and off with an ability key-bind with a 1.5 second cooldown between activations, but consumes no resource, just a different movement type.
Increase base movement speed in the air while flying.
Enemies hit by the Lightning strikes on goddess boost, receive a chain lightning debuff. When they are hit by bolt rush, a chain lightning bolt will arc to nearby enemies who also have the new debuff. But for reduced damage of the initial bolt rush.
Black panther- Reduce cooldown on sprint rend to 8 seconds from 12 seconds.
Increase amount of spears to 3.
Remove spinning kick and replace with a new ability to help him initiate attacks and stay alive.
Suggestion: vibranium shielding-black panther crosses his arms and reduces his movement speed slightly. Creating a small shield that only covers his own body that floats in front of him. This blocks damage all frontal damage and last 2 seconds. Does not block melee damage.
This ability would have a 8 second cooldown.
If spinning kick is not removed, make it aim-able in any direction similar to sprint rend.
Sprint tend cooldown is refunded if a KO is achieved with it, no matter if a vibranium mark was applied.
Bast’s decent resets sprint rend cooldown when it is used.
Increase primary fire melee damage and range to be more inline with other melee characters. Reduce attack speed.
Make subtle step a passive like spider-man or Peni Parker. Feels too clunky to be on a cooldown and doesn’t make sense.
Iron man- Make movement the same as storm new movement I suggested above. Always flying feels like a detriment to the player and does not feel good to play.
Increase direct hit damage of his primary fire.
Keep direct damage as it is now in armor overdrive.
Increase damage of micro missle barrage and make it usable in Ironman’s regular mode, not just flying or overdrive.
Scarlet Witch- Reduce sensitivity of chaos control lock on. Slightly Increase the rate of chaos energy gained.
Mystic projection charges reduced to 1 and now is a single use ability cooldown reduced to 7 seconds from 8 seconds.
Starlord- Primary fire Damage fall off increased (should do less damage at longer ranges)
Primary fire spread increased slightly.
Suggestion: replace blaster barrage with a new ability. This ability is essentially a “I win” button, which feels really bad to play against this strong of an ability that isn’t even an ultimate.
Suggestion: an element gun element switch that have different effects for a few seconds when switched (not constant) fire, ice, shock, etc.. which activate after hitting a certain amount of shots on a enemy.
Effects would be up to devs.
If not removed than the damage should be reduced.
Punisher- Primary fire Damage fall off increased (does less damage at longer range)
Primary fire Spread increases the longer the trigger is held down, starting when the magazine reaches 20 rounds and ramps up on continuous trigger hold.
Stopping the trigger pull will reset the spread.
Shotgun damage reduced significantly, headshot multiplier reduced, damage fall off increased, spread of pellets increased.
Ultimate should have wider spread, doesn’t make sense he can laser beam people across the map. Also increased damage fall off.
Turret health reduced to 400.
Hela- Primary fire Damage fall off increased.
Primary fire damage decreased
Ultimate damage decreased, ultimate duration decreased (maximum 4 Nastrond crows can be fired.)
Blast radius of Ultimate decreased, makes the player be more accurate to get KOs with it.
Magik- no longer gains bonus health on primary fire melee attack or quick melee attack but these melee attacks heal Magik if she is below full health for the same amount of bonus health previously gained: 13 HP.
Bonus health received for dealing ability damage is increased slightly.
Primary fire melee attack speed increased slightly.
Spider-Man- No changes needed that I can currently tell. These other changes should make the character more reliable when playing.
Namor- Character needs to be reworked from the ground up. Does not feel like I’m playing Namor or feel like a comic book character. Decent viability, but boring design.
If the same playstyle is kept, give him different turret types, (fast firing fish, water barrier turtle, slower fire rate octopus that gets an incsreaed attack from wrath of the seven seas) allow him to move while shielding himself and does increased damage with wrath of the seven seas, but has a longer cooldown.
Loki- No longer receives full ultimate ability when transforming, but has a massively increased charge rate.
When KO’d in his ultimate, he no longer is eliminated but reverts back to Loki.
Reduce the amount of healing and damage illusions do.
Regeneration domain- renamed “untouchable domain” no longer heals from damages received, but character inside can no longer be damaged.
Hela and Loki team up removed from the game, or when activated goes into a long cooldown.
Mantis- Ultimate no longer is a heal over time, but a large bonus health shield that is applied to all Allie’s in range. Keeps the same duration.
Movement speed of the ultimate stays the same.
Her current ultimate Feels way too similar to Luna snow ultimate and when used together or back to back feels really unfun to play against.
Luna Snow- Ultimate duration reduced from 12 seconds to 7.
Healing reduced for primary fire.
Healing from share the stage stays the same. So percentage would be increased to accommodate the reeducation of primary fire healing.
Rocket raccoon- Primary fire damage reduced, projectile speed increased. Now has significant damage fall off at longer ranges.
Healing reduced from secondary fire repair mode. But increased if the orb fired is closer to the ally they are healing. (Rewards accuracy)
B.R.B.- now has a duration. (Maybe 30 seconds)
Recall cooldown increased to 10 seconds from 5.
Cooldown increased to 35 seconds on revive from 25 seconds.
Punisher team up removed from the game.

Hi I am converting a van into a campervan/RV.
I already finished wiring everything and everything works fine (batteries, 220v charger for the batteries, distribution central panel for the controls/relais/battery parallel relay, etc...).
But now that I have finished I have an issue.
My "distribution panel" is from a well known RV distribution panel maker and offers many functionnalities including the possibility to open the parallel relay (between the motor battery and the back batteries) when my back batteries are being charged by 220v.
This should permit to the motor battery to be charged at 2A current while my campervan is parked and plugged to the 220v.
Here's how the distribution panel is supposed to know that I am plugged to 220v :
Normally the distribution panel from this brand is supposed to be used with the 220v->12v battery charger from the same brand.
On the "official" battery charger there is a +12v output that is supposed to be wired to the distribution panel. When the battery charger receives 220v, the +12v output emits some current and the battery parallel relay opens.
I found where the wire is supposed to arrive to the distrivution panel, I tested it manually by temporary providing a +12v coming from the battery positive pole and it worked, it opened the relay.
However my issue is that I am not using the "official" battery charger from the same brand, but another battery charger much more powerful.
Where should I extract or how can I simulate the +12v needed by my distribution panel to know that I am plugged to 220v and open the parallel relay ?
Of course I cannot use the +12v output of the charger because it is always wired to the batteries, so the parallel relay would never close.
I tried using a regular 220v to 12v power supply normally used for charging a laptop, wiring the 220 side to the 220 input of the charger, and the +12v side to the distribution panel. Like this the distribution panel would only receive the signal when it is plugged to 220v i thinked. But it didnt worked and didnt opened the relay.
I reckon there's something off with this way of doing, because when I tested the +12v of the power supply with the -12v of the power supply it works, but when testing it with the -12v of the batteries, nothing.
Does the +12v and -12v needs to come from the same "source" in order for the +12v to be recognized fro my distribution panel or something ?
Do you have another simplier solution ? Because, even if it worked, using a power supply like this seems a bit ugly.
I also thought about buying some device that could be wired to the back batteries and when it notices that they reach 14v (meaning they are being charged) it could produce a +12v signal. But i don't even know if such device exists. And I don't like this solution either because it seems overly complicated.
I need more or less 50ma current on the +12v signal.
I also thought, and maybe this is the better way, to open the battery charger case and check everywhere to see if I could find some +12v signal only happening when the 220v is plugged.
But before opening the battery charger I was looking for some external solution.
Thanks for reading all this

DAY 38: TONY DOVOLANI

My stepdaughter is almost 10, her dad and I have been together since she was 7. She was an only child, I had a couple kids from a previous marriage, & we have a child together. Her mother wasn’t always in her life but has been consistently since she was 5. My husband and I and her mother both have stable homes. Let’s start from the beginning…
When I first met Sabrina (not her real name) she seemed like the sweetest, most well behaved kid I had ever met. From the start we had a great relationship and she loved spending time with me. Her dad and I eventually moved in together, along with my kids. At first everything was great. Then as time started passing I started noticing my kids start to “dislike” Sabrina. There were a lot of fights and arguments. I would ask what the problem was and they would just say things like “Sabrina did this” or “Sabrina did that” and Sabrina would always deny whatever it was. I started paying closer attention and listening to what was going on. I would hear Sabrina whisper things in a soft voice and then lie about it when I would ask why she said something, even though I just heard her. Or I would witness her hitting one of the kids and she would lie about doing it.
We started having problems with her at school. She would refuse to pay attention & refuse to do her homework. Her teacher said that she would do anything other than pay attention or do her work. She was diagnosed with ADHD in the beginning of 2023 and has been on 2 medications for it since then. We had hoped this would help with some of the issues we were having. It seemed to help some in the beginning but now things have escalated and gotten worse. Her teachers have all said she knows how to do the work, and I also have noticed that she knows how to do the work. She doesn’t ask for help very often.
She now lies about everything. She will lie about doing homework, she will lie about cleaning her room, she will lie about things she did at her mom’s house, and things she does at our house. She will hit & push the other kids and lie about it. She will hit and kick the dogs and lie about it. She just doesn’t listen to anything we tell her anymore. She doesn’t have very many friends. She is constantly blaming others for her problems and the way she acts. She has a constant need for validation and gets very jealous and envious of anyone else getting attention besides her. It’s like she refuses to follow directions that any adult gives her.
Now she has never told us “No” when we ask or tell her to do something. She will always walk away like she’s going to do what is asked but doesn’t do it.
Example: Me: Sabrina please go clean your room. S: ok, walks to room and comes back 20 minutes later. Me: is your room clean? S: I cleaned someone of it. Me: please go finish cleaning S: ok, walks to room and comes back 5 minutes later. Me: is it clean? S: yeah Me: ok, I’m going to check. Walks in room and nothing is cleaned.
Another example: Me: do you have homework? S: yes Me: ok, please work on it. S: sits at the table and “pretends to do homework” Me: is your homework finished? S: no Me: Sabrina please finish your homework *20 minutes later still not finished. S: it’s finished now. Me: I find the unfinished homework shoved in her toy box.
We have talked to her doctor regarding these issues and started counseling because she said “she needed help to stop lying”. We are trying our best to be patient and currently doing present moment parenting. But it seems like anything we do doesn’t help. We’ve tried being nice and talking, we’ve tried rewards, we’ve tried grounding, we’ve asked her what she needs, etc. and nothing seems to be working. Her counselor suggested seeing a psychiatrist because Sabrina told her that she “sometimes feels controlled by something in her head that’s telling her to do these bad things”. She does have some empathy for others but not always. Things are just continuing to get worse. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
TIA!

So this was in November 2023 and due to my wack ass immune system, I (15M) had gotten myself extremely sick to the point where I was vomiting almost every time I'd eat. And my body has a way of cascading things like this, so I it was no surprise when I started sickling.
I'm laying in bed, nauseous and in pain, just praying for the oxy to kick in so I can fall asleep and not deal with this hell anymore when this sharp pain starts stabbing me in my chest and I feel like I'm literally DYING. This pain I was feeling in that moment was worse than any sickle cell crisis I've ever had and I just assumed the jig was up and organ failure was imminent.
I couldn't get up from where I was laying (my mom's bed) because of the severe pain so I'm just crying so loudly and my mom wakes up annoyed and tells me to lay on my back and go back to bed but as i shift over a wave of nausea crashes over me and i begin vomiting all over my mom and her bed (woops).
Fully awake and freaking out by this point my mom picks up her phone and dials 911 for an ambulance to get me and I'm just crying like a little baby now in a pile of my own bile (too scared to eat anything because I didn't wanna barf) praying for the ambulance to get here. And after what only felt like 5 minutes, my mom runs to the front door to open it for the paramedics who lay me onto the stretcher and give me this drug I'm in too much pain to notice.
And then it calms me down. A lot. So much so that it feels like whenever I breathe, I'm breathing out all the air in my lungs and taking my first breath again like I've just been born. I vaguely feel the pain in my chest but my mind is so empty I cant even bother to think about it. I take a few deep blinks and then wake up in the ER with my mom sleeping in the chair beside my bed.
After this, it becomes a cycle of them giving me medicine, the pain subsides somewhat, and then the medicine wears off and my chest feels like it's getting knifed by a million UK roadmen. They start me off with morphine, and that doesn't do the job like it usually does, so then they give me Dilaudid AND morphine, and still yet I feel like the end is near. So they decide to pull out the big guns that worked on me when I was in the ambulance. Fentanyl.
Initially I was very skeptic and lowkey refusing treatment because of the stigma around it and the doctors reassured me over and over that it was safe and I had been given it before and blah blah blah even though these were the same doctors that would ask me how long I've had sickle cell for. But I was in so much pain that I just gave up and gave in and gave them the a-ok because their nagging was just too much.
They set me up with this little green button thing attached to my IV, that would allow me to press it whenever I felt severe and constant pain but would not allow me to exceed the "maximum dosage" they had put in place for my body. And to be completely honest this little button scared me at first. The entirety of my night nurses shift I didn't press the button once and just writhed there in the cold hospital bed because I'd rather die than willingly administer my own fentanyl.
But I wouldn't even be typing this story if I simply just hadn't pressed the button for the entire duration of my stay. It was now day 3 in the hospital and I hadn't got a single wink of sleep in the past 32 hours so I decided to press the button. It didn't hit me like it had in the ambulance, but when i tell you i relaxed, i RELAXED. I was finally able to shut my eyes and go to bed and stop myself from shaking my leg (self soothing thing I do when in pain). I woke back up to my nurse doing my 8 hour check up and for some reason, she was still bringing me morphine and Dilaudid despite me having the fentanyl push button thingy, but I was so out of it I just took the medicine so I could go back to sleep. It became I cycle of me pushing the button, falling asleep, being woken up to take additional opiates i did NOT need, then going back to bed, until early on day 5 in the hospital, my friends from school came to visit me. So obviously I try to be a good host and not to fall asleep despite me having pushed my button already for more fent (clearly addicted but oblivious because of this phantom pain my body is forcing me to experience) and coincidentally as my friends are still here, my nurse comes in for the 8 hour check up and gives me the Dilaudid and morphine again. I take the medicine and I look down at my green button because I'm not sure i've been awake this long in days and I see its glowing again so I press it.
bad idea.
I'm talking to my friends but something seems off, their voices seem so far away and there is black dots clouding my vision, I of course am so out of it that I somehow don't see any issue with these two things until I realized I hadn't said a word in like 2 minutes. Matter of fact, I hadn't even spoken for 2 minutes. My eyes go wide because I can feel my vision fading, but for some odd reason it was all black except a tiny pinhole in the center of my vision. I hear this faraway annoying beeping that I realize is the pulse-ox thing going kookoo bananas because I haven't breathed in so long and I see shapes moving around and my friends running to the hallway to get me help and all I can focus on is "If I'm not breathing, why doesn't it hurt?"
The nurses rush in and can clearly tell I'm overdosing so they put an oxygen mask over my head and say "Can somebody give him some Narcan?" and I'm laying here spectating what's going on to my own body from inside of my head wondering "I wonder what narcan is"
WELL I SURE KNOW NOW
The nurses push the Narcan in through my oxygen mask and I can suddenly hear everything perfectly. I say "woah" and then my entire body gets a flash of heat all over so I jolt up and say "WOAH" again and I look to the left to see like 6 nurses with 3 of them doing something with my arm that I obviously just messed up. But then the heat is gone, replaced by this freezing cold feeling all over and INSIDE my body. I can feel every one of my organs touching each other and they all feel cold and I just feel nauseous. By this point i was just in agony. It wasn't like any pain I've ever felt before I felt like not only was I gonna die, but it was gonna be painful and I'd feel each individual organ dying from inside my body because of how hypersensitive I was to everything around me. I could feel the scratchy hospital blanket and the way the grip of the hospital sock felt against the bed and it was all just too much for me and my head cocked straight up and i began vomiting so much liquid it was scary to watch. Feeling each chunk of food run down my throat was a sensory nightmare and it caused me to KEEP VOMITING and every time I'd move one of my limbs, it would completely jerk itself all the way to a full extended position which would shake my body and all my senses would be on fire and I'd cock my head back and continue vomiting. This was a pediatric hospital so the nurses had never dealt with anything this severe before so they were all just freaking out because I was actually tweaking so hard and I had knocked over everything they had put on my bed to help me. In addition to all this mess, I'd torn out my IV and started bleeding all over the sheets and the smell of barf mixed with blood was just such a strong smell I had continued barfing onto myself. My entire being felt cold inside and out so I was trying profusely to wrap myself in a cocoon but the nurses were so fixated on my blanket being covered in vomit and me like "contaminating myself" but I did not give a single fuck bro I was in so much pain and was so cold the only thought on my mind was the fetal position, and a cocoon. two nurses jammed those tubes that they have at the dentists office to suck your saliva down my throat so I didn't continue choking on my vomit, while the other 4 removed the fitted sheet from the bed trying their best not to interfere with my tweakage.
After they removed the sheet I had laid down and then I felt my organs shift in my body so I began vomiting again because anytime I sensed a new sensation, the big kahuna of nausea would hit me. I threw up onto the plasticky cover that goes over the mattress of the hospital bed but at this point there was only like so much left to throw up so a nurse wiped it away with an alcohol wipe. And the SMELL of that wipe gave me such sensory overload that I began crying to the point of basically screaming. As I shut my eyes really hard praying I'd fall asleep and escape the pain and coldness of my insides.
And the weird thing about all this is, I was there the whole time, y'know? Like I felt perfectly conscious throughout the entire process of being Narc'ed. I had no control over my body and anything I did, it just felt instinctual and had no thought behind it, but I was still actively thinking throughout all of it. I felt shame, embarresement, surprise, all like I was watching a movie. Except it was one of those 4D movie theaters where you can feel whatever is happening on screen, but not control it.
Eventually sleep overcame me and I woke up in the ICU with like 40 million wires attached to me a heating pack over my belly, and these bags around my legs that would inflate and deflate over and over. And all I could think in my head, was thank GOD it was over.
I had ended up getting myself a bone eating staph infection because some of my vomit got into the IV hole I'd torn out (I see why there were trying to take the blanket off) and ended up having to stay in the hospital for 10 more days so they could give me heavy antibiotics,, and had to do an additional 5 days at home self administering the medicine through a PIC line that went all the way from my wrist into my heart (it was so gross because they kept me awake while they removed it and it felt so weird).
A few weeks later the hospital called us back and apologized but they were using so much avoidant language and deflecting blame off of themselves so hard that it was pathetic to watch. Like you gave a 15 year old kid fentanyl through a SELF REGULATED SYSTEM and didn't expect the worst? Especially since I was being given Dilaudid and morphine on top of the fent? Get out my face with that smh.

WARNING: Here I will describe my thoughts to myself, they will be very negative.
Hi everyone!
I don't know whether I feel like a woman or a man, I feel disconnected from my sense of self, I'm confused about myself, I hate my body. I think I can start my story with the fact that before and now I saw a woman in my dream world rather than a man, and I like to draw mostly the former more than the latter, I chose female characters than male ones in games. When I was 11-13 years old, I didn’t want to be a boy, this will sound stupid and creepy now, but I thought that men dress drab and boring, and women dress colorfully and beautifully, and they are much better personally than men. Having grown up a little, I stopped thinking about it, but somewhere around the age of 18 and until now (I’m 20 years old) I again began to feel rejection towards myself, but it has changed, it comes over me from time to time, but this does not mean that I stopped hating myself, I just I’m used to feeling it, it’s just sometimes stronger than always. I hate my body, it's ugly, dirty, vicious, constantly changing and big. My weight is now 90 to 189 and I understand that it shouldn’t be this way, I don’t want to look big, I will try to do everything in my power to change this. I hope that I will at least reach my previous weight of 80 kg, and if I try harder, then up to 65-70 kilograms. I don’t want to be masculine, I don’t want to be big, I want to be sickly, fragile, thin like in cocaine chic, I know that this is bad, but I hate myself madly, I want to tear my flesh, burn myself just so as not to remain like this. I also hate body hair (Except for eyelashes, eyebrows and hair, it’s beautiful) it’s disgusting, when I found out that it grows on my back I was horrified. I try to shave them. I just don’t understand how I could be born in such a wretched body full of pus and filth, it’s unholy. My genes are defective. Sometimes I think about plastic surgery on my face, about surgically reducing my stomach so that I can eat even less. I try to eat twice a day. I should look more androgynous, even feminine. I'm afraid that with age I will develop more as a man, I don't want to look masculine, it's terrible. I think that there could be a transgender person, but is this transgender? I think not, because I’m afraid to take female hormones, I’m afraid that I’ll change my mind because I’m not sure that these feelings are caused by gender dysphoria, and besides, I don’t think that I can get used to living without my previous genitals. I don’t even know what to think about myself, I’m tired of these feelings, I just want to rot.
I hope that my thoughts will be clear and relevant for you

I'm no writer and English is my third language. Please don't trash me or my punctuation.
Firstly, mallikajan becoming suddenly patriotic is absurd. It was almost like she had nothing in her hands and she's trying to fill the void of the fall of heeramandi. Like see, it has to be gradual atleast.
My alternate version
MALLIKAJAAN
In the scene where bibbojaan sneaks in the freedom fighters(yes, they very much were) mallikajan stares at her stoic before walking away. We find them in the next scene spoken to by phatto - satto all the things Mallika had originally said. One of the fighters embrace the other remembering the demise of the shaheed when a potli falls open from his pocket. We see jhumke and some rings which Mallika recognises and calls him out saying they are of waheeda almost accusing them of theft. Bibbo responds rather angrily " Ammi!!!" When waheeda interrupts and says she had given them the jewellery . Waheeda goes "takreeban 20 saalon me Pehli dafa jisam par se kuch utaarne par Mera rooh aitiraz nahi kiya." A little taken aback, Mallika walks away saying "Noor Haveli k chaar tijori aapke aur aapke biwi bacchon k liye khule hi."
I feel like it would still preserve her character a little and from here she could have been shown to have gone soft ( you know, with her requesting nawab's wife to talk to other nawab's for her). I know it was not pretence, but her being patriotic was a little off.
When mallikarjaan hears that bibbojaan is getting executed, she breaks down crying. Next scene is her in her room all cried out. Looks at bibbojaan's picture and mutters "meri beti...meri beti bibbo... bibbojaan.... Bibbojaan azaad." We see satto fatto and all the members gathered crying over the news mallikajaan enters , commands them not to cry as bibbo would be the first tawaif to sacrifice her life for her mother( India).
TAJDER
Tajder comes home injured and Alam questions him and he had to reveal that he was manhandled by the British while they were protesting ( he wore black muffler and wasn't recognised though). Alamzeb asks "Aap ye mulk se beintehaa mohabbat karte ho na?" And tajder chuckles and says " jaise aap apne shayari se" and alamzeb goes "shayari ko ham hamara fitoor maante hi par aap mitti ko apna farz. As she wipes his injuries she asks in a soft tone " nibhate hue kese lagta hi?". " Filhaal..... Jaise ek zakhmi maa ko unka beta marham na de paraha" says tajder teary eyed. So maybe here a montage of atrocities of British he has witnessed could be shown as he explains alamzeb why he he'd become anti British. By this the freedom factor is a little more emphasized rather than it being abrupt , also, it invokes patriotism in alamzeb.
ALAMZEB
Alamzeb literally gave it away saying that sher infront of general Cartwright, he very much speaks hindi 🤦‍♀️.
In the alternative version alam while being taken into the jail screams "inqilab zindabad" and tajder is shown to be secretly Proud. Tajder looks at her fondly while she shouts naare and her parwana sher gets played simultaneously.
And in another scene a little after Alam's realise mallikajaan says to alam: "Heeramandi ki shehzadi ho tum. Yaha ki mehek sirf eethar ki hi, na sihayi ki na hi lahoon ki ."
Alamzeb says to herself, "Hamara pyaar(tajder) ka manchaaha eethar tho ghili mitti hi ammi. Is zaameen ki mehek mehfooz rakhenge, apni lahoo se mitti nam karke hi sahi."
(Tajder says he loves ghili mitti just before it rains in the mango farm.)
FAREEDAN
Fareedan's change was rather abrupt. It's just not too convincing.
ALTERNATE VERSION

 Cartwright tells fareedan how mallikjaan had her stoop so low infront of everyone in the police station. Fareedan laughs hard and asks him what has he done. Cartwright explains what happened and when he turns around fareedan looks rather quiet unable to figure out how to feel about it. When Cartwright asks her what happened she says the dialogue she originally does. Cartwright asks her to be happy for him and his boys as they wouldn't get an opportunity like this in England cause a true lady would never sleep with five me. He proceeds to say this only happened because she's an Indian wh*re. This strucks her, she quietly leaves his house placing his gift, that gown on the table. At night during the fountain scene fareedan overhears everything from her window and sheds a tear. Fareedan witnesses Cartwright killing tajder deliberately. She runs and tells that to alam who is still in shock and is repeatedly saying she needs to see dadi. Fareedan takes her to dadi and while is upstairs Cartwright visits Tajder's father who is confronting him. Fareedan walking down the staircase says how she witnessed his death and it was Cartwright who killed his son. Cartwright says that he doesn't know her and if at all she had ever been in a police station it would be because of crimes she committed and he names few off her records intimating that he knows about her past. Fareedan feeling deceived and disrespected she is not afraid of what is going to happen to her and that Tajder's father deserves to know the truth. She tells him how she witnessed him killing his son. Cartwright interrupts and says she is afterall a tawaif and he shouldn't listen to her words. Fareedan says that she's tawaif indeed but she had a mother who take care of her all night when she was sick. She can only imagine what Tajder's father is going through and that he deserves to know the truth. She says he isn't her father or a relative but you don't need a blood relation in this mulk. She calls him khalujaan and asks him to believe her. Tajder's father walks away from her and asks Cartwright to try finding out who the attackers were and walks away indicating that he believes Cartwright and not her. Cartwright mockingly says to her that true Indians only believe the ones who are working for their welfare, the british. Fardeen walks out hurt and disappointed. 

These two incidents can makes fareedan's change more gradual.
CARTWRIGHT
I don't understand why Cartwright would want to sleep with Alam when his sister literally murdered his higher authority and is about to get killed by them. Moreover, he killed Alam's fiance. He has grave threat from Alam.
Alternate version:-

 CARTWRIGHT visits heeramandi's silent corridors and mocks mallikajaan. 

He proceeds to say had she been on his side it would have saved her from many troubles. Alam interrupts and says that she's the next huzoor of heeramandi, the next tawaif. She'd do her first dance, her first nath uthrai for him in return of him not causing the members of heeramandi any further troubles. Cartwright interrupts her and says he wants her nath uthrai not in their fort but in his bedroom. Mallika interrupts reminding how the ritual goes. Alam stares at Cartwright before agreeing. In the later scene she performs infront of him and in the end gets on the top of him stabs him to death in sync with the beat of the music and leaves his house.
THE CLIMAX

 Mallikajaan marches towards the police station with everyone to support bibbojaan. Iqbal riding cart nexts to her stops her suddenly with a talvar reluctantly and says she doesn't deserve a last time with her daughter like he was never given one with saima. Satto fatto shocked asks what he's doing. He cries and wipes his tears and backs away. Mallikajaan looks at fareedan who looks concerned for her. She walks right into the talvar to everyone's horror. Satto fatto and everyone tries to come near her but she asks them to go. Fareedan asks Mallika to come with them and says that bibbojaan will need her mother, she needs to treat herself and that ammi ki zarurat hothi hi. Mallika says her daughter will live kuch pal too without her like she( fareedan) did all these years. She insists on them leaving and being there for bibbojaan. They all March towards the execution place. Bibbojaan is given a last chance to reveal the other members of her group. She is hit with whiplash when she starts singing with all the women from heeramandi behind the walls chorusing with her. Simultaneously mallikajaan is shown dancing while bleeding in a silent , windy and deserted street singing to herself. She pats her feet covered in mud on the ground like she's dancing in her fort, does gajgamini walk manically laughing. Bibbojaan doesn't reveal the names so the officer intimates to kill her. On the other hand mallikajaan is dancing while bleeding with dirt and blood on her face. Tired She falls on her knees. She hears footsteps approaching her running. She sees zoravar (her son) with his hand streched out running towards her calling her ammi. Bullets are shot at bibbojaan simultaneously. Mallikajaan picks up the sword next to her and tears open her blouse from the back and falls on the ground. Zorawar stops and turns away his head. Mallika is seen smiling slowly closing her eyes (preserving her nature of vengeance). Bibbojaan is shown to lay on ground slowly finishing the last word of the song. Her eyes wide open, she loses her life. The narration says bibbojaan has inspired all the beti's of heeramandi to take part in freeing their country. They March and roit religiously from then on to get freedom to this country as no one understands the value of freedom better than the ones who's soul is not even theirs. 

50 Biblical scriptures that address Overcoming Temptation and Addiction, along with their texts:

If you worship me, it will all be yours.’ Jesus answered, ‘It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’’ The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down from here.

Now I’m a bit biased as R&C was my first ever set of games, but having replayed the earlier games recently, I was astounded at how well they held up, even over two decades after launch.
The first game, despite being criticised for its bare bones mechanics compared to later games, took the platformer genre to a different level compared to Spyro and Crash etc. The presentation was incredible for an early PS2 title, with almost 20 unique worlds and graphics that are still decent even by today’s standards.
The worlds had branching paths incentivising a semi-open world vibe, with a sense of mystery into exploring those paths that often govern what makes a good open world title even today. One path may lead to a dead end due to you missing a gadget you require on the secondary path of another planet, and so forth. Backtracking can be a chore if it’s not done well but I think R&C struck the best balance of not hand holding you/telling you exactly where to go while also not leaving the player stuck, rather creating a thought-provoking feeling of “right, where do I need to go” and incentivising exploration in the brilliantly crafted biomes of each planet.
The story and humour still bang to this day, creating cool spins on accurate parallels between today’s society and the R&C universe, referencing themes like corporate greed and capitalism and so forth. Not to mention that all of the characters; Ratchet, Qwark, Clank, and so forth, all had very fleshed out motivations, rather than the cartoonishly evil antagonists we got in other platformers for the time.
I also didn’t dislike the mechanics; the lack of strafing and brutal economy system actually served as an additional element of difficulty rather than “jank”, you really had to prepare your strategy for fights rather than the later games where you can just go in guns blazing to most fights. The platforming challenges were also brutally hard and complex. I’m a pretty seasoned gamer and found most of the later games a cakewalk, but I died so many times in the first game, and it was my own fault. Overall I was expecting the first game to feel completely outdated but for a game released in 2002 it had me more invested in the mechanics than a lot of the bigger, badder, RPGs we get these days.
Then only a year later we get Going Commando, pretty much transformed the mechanical experience. Loads of RPG-lite systems like experience points and weapon upgrades based on usage, ship and arena combat, spherical moons (which are baffling to think about in 2003), and much more polished combat mechanics. I know R&C was a main priority for Insomniac back then, and development time/cost wasn’t as significant as it is nowadays, but it does astound me how they managed to take the game that much farther in the space of only 10 months’ development. Especially as they clearly listened to all of the gripes people had with the first game.
Up Your Arsenal obviously streamlined the formula away from platforming into being more combat-focussed to keep up with the trends of the mid-2000s, and while I did miss the exploration aspect of things, they doubled down on what made Going Commando’s combat so smooth. More weapon upgrades incentivising you to experiment and change up your playstyle more, more arena challenges, and the narrative still adhered to the theme of mirroring real life situations but in a more sci-fi and humorous manner that never failed to make me laugh.
Overall the original R&C trilogy are unique to me in the sense that they’re both fun to play as a kid, but replaying the games when older you have a completely different perspective as there’s so much mechanical and narrative depth that I missed as a child that I can appreciate now. Antagonists’ motivations, mature jokes that went over my head previously, how each subsequent game was iterated upon to drive a stronger gameplay loop, and so forth.
It’s no wonder that the formula hasn’t really been changed even for the newer games, barring stuff that wasn’t possible on earlier-gen hardware like the rift mechanics in Rift Apart. I still like (most) of the newer games, and in many ways they’re more polished and so forth, but the Pixar-esque hero story vibe and the more linear approach with fewer and less explorable biomes doesn’t do it for me as much.
