2024.05.16 15:46 Gullible-Ad-6208 WIBTA If I stop talking to an online "friend"?

This is my first post so sorry for any mistakes.So I (won't say my age but under 16)F have a Gc with my IRL friend and some online friends the Gc has around 8 members including me so my IRL friend who made the Gc (C) also under 16 M added one of his friend (M) under 16 F and I added some of my friends(idk any of them irl except C).M and C have been friends for a rlly long time and let's just say they both had a crush on each other at some point but the thing is that M is kinda crazy like one time she knew that C had a crush on her but she decided to "Test" on him,where she told him that she was dating someone who he hated(it was a lie) and C literally cried for a whole week straight.Back to this timeline M still has a crush on him after so many years but C doesn't,M is extremely jealous of any female friends he has including me,at first she seemed rlly sweet but then she started making passive aggressive remarks towards me like the most recent incident was when I sent a screenshot of me having a snap streak with another dude who is also on the Gc let's call him O so after i sent that M literally called me a "wh04e" for having many male friends (I don't). So to kinda defend me C said he had a snap streak with another female friend but M kinda just ignored that.So a lot of things like these have happened b4 and I'm not the only girl in the GC but she seems to be targeting me I think it's bc I know C irl and that we are good friends so she's always kinda hating on me... Even C is uncomfortable with her bc she literally went NC with him for sometime for no reason at all it's like she's obsessed with him,she also vented to her online BSF that C is a dry texter and hates bc she texts in lowercase.She also lied and said that C and her were dating but he cheated (not true bc C was gay but now BI).So reddit WIBTA if I cut von with her?

2024.05.16 15:44 coyoteproshop What separates animal vs human consciousness?

What separates animal vs human consciousness?
Let me preface this by saying that these are exclusively my theories and I have no expert background in the study of consciousness. I am a voracious reader and people tell me I have an amazing memory, but my education is mostly in math and science. However, given that we have made almost no progress on this front, I feel that the field is open for speculation and alternative points of view. Here is my personal theory that I've been thinking about for the past year or so.
I'm something of a dualist in that I think that consciousness is very likely a quantum phenomenon that we tune into with structures presumably in the brain (see yesterday's discussion of microtubules). These structures give us (and other organisms with similar structures) access to what I call "raw consciousness" or "experiential consciousness" which is simply a means of distinguishing self from environment.
Humans (and perhaps some animals) have what I call "referential" or "narrative" consciousness, which is a more refined channeling of raw consciousness that arises because of our use of symbology / language. I think there is direct evidence that language is the defining characteristic of our refined consciousness in that 1) children do not form memories before they acquire a certain level of language sophistication (not just a certain biological age, because precocious children often have earlier memories than average children) and 2) humans who have been raised without language (e.g. feral children, of which there are a few examples) report having no memory of the time before they acquired language.
Raw consciousness is reactive. Memories are formed (after all, even very simple animals have mechanisms for remembering important stimuli) and these memories are accessed by experiencing similar stimuli or situations. These memories are related to time only in so far as they tend to fade as the interval between relevant stimuli lengthens (e.g. if a dog once ate an extremely bitter tropical houseplant that you then disposed of, the dog is unlikely to ever encounter that stimulus again and so the memory will fade with time). So, organisms with raw consciousness live in the moment, reacting and forming new salient memories.
Humans on the other hand have "narrative consciousness" which associates each memory very clearly in time by the means of what I call a "narrative rope" which is essentially a running commentary, created by your inner voice (which after all, speaks in your language) which includes "loops" to hook onto non-narrative memories such as smells, tastes, sights, sounds, feelings, etc. (very similar to hyperlinks). Because of these loops and the language-based backbone, the rope serves as a dictionary with multiple keys e.g. the memory of grandma's apple pie can be recalled by thinking "grandma's apple pie" or by the smell of apples, or by the crisp fall weather, or by the emotion of contentment. Because the rope is a running narrative, we can also place events clearly in time giving us a sense of past (events already encoded in the rope), and as a result, a sense of the future (pre-ropes that we have planned out that may or may not occur). In predicting the future, we draw on our past experiences and create a series of pre-rope branches of varying strength, depending on our estimation of their likelihood. The pre-rope branches which did not occur are pruned as the narrator encounters the decisive moment where the pre-rope branches collapse to the true event. We are surprised when the actual events deviate significantly from our mesh of pre-rope.
Crucially, because the rope is written with language, it can also be rewritten with language resulting in the lability of memory we see, particularly in eye witness testimony. Our narrative consciousness is not concerned with absolute fidelity because this is not necessary for our survival, instead the narrative is meant to A) store experiences for future use and B) actualize us in time e.g. define who we are as an active agent, which owing to the fact that we are the protagonist of our own lives allows us to fudge and change the details of certain memories if it benefits our self-image or the narrative of the group we belong to.
As far as I can see, the rope grants us access to 4 types of consciousness, 3 of which animals do not have (as far as we know):
1) Raw Consciousness: this is living in the moment, taking in events as they happen. This is an uncommon state for a human to be in, and in fact, many of us strive to "stay in the moment" through practices such as yoga and meditation meant to suppress the inner voice.
2) Reflective Consciousness: this is a state in which we are reviewing, reliving and revising past experiences, mining them for additional information, or playing out different scenarios we might want to try in the future.
3) Predictive Consciousness: this is where we are engaged in simulating and planning for the future (laying a mesh of pre ropes). Often we make use of Reflective Consciousness during this phase.
4) Creative Consciousness: this state of consciousness floats between Raw, Reflective and Predictive Consciousness, seeking unnoticed connections / bridges. Connections can be formed in a rope-rope, rope-pre rope, or pre rope - pre rope fashion. Forming a connection is often met with a "Eureka!" feeling. Fantasizing happens here as well.
The four facets of narrative consciousness
The narrative rope and agents
Recall keys
So according to my theory (and I have not checked to see if this is an original idea, and I don't particularly care) language is our defining characteristic. Language is the valve through which we shape raw consciousness and extend it to the abstract realm of time, which I don't believe animals or people without narrative consciousness experience. It gives us a much larger repertoire of potential responses to incoming stimuli, allows us to predict future events (or at least try to) based on our analysis of the past, grants us the ability to be creative through mining Reflective, Predictive and Raw Consciousness for connections and gives us the feeling of existing through time, rather than just in the present moment.

2024.05.16 15:42 the_actuary Do i need to start meds?

So here is the situation 35m Smoke - Never Alcohol - 1 pint every 2 weeks Not overweight Moderately active (7k average steps a day, cycle for a couple of hours per week at moderate speed) Eat balanced vegetarian diet, eggs for breakfast and salads for lunch most days. Dinner is not as healthy but neither unhealthy. Job - sometimes stressful but not more stressful than an average job like other people.
Blood test done - everything from glucose levels to kidney, liver, sodium, pottasium levels is fine and within range. Nothing borderline.
2 weeks ago got it checked randomly at a pharmacy and came out to be 155/115 and was urgently recommened to contact my doctor. Talked to the doctor and they recommended monitoring it for 5 days (as soon as i wake up and before sleeping). Average reading for the first week were 140/100. Contacted doctor and he recommended the blood test and said either start medicine now or keep monitoring for 2 weeks. Decided to monitor.
Blood test done - everything from glucose levels to kidney, liver, sodium, pottasium levels is fine and within range. Nothing borderline.
Average reading for the last 2 weeks has been 130/90 since.
I have stopped eating sugar salt and oil (processed food) and started working out more which I think resulted in a 10 point drop over 2 weeks. Doctor is saying its good progress but its still 10 point higher than 120/80 so I should start medicine.
I am quite lost and shocked to get BP at such young age and not having a very unhealthy lifestyle.
Can anyone suggest how can i improve so not to take medicine?

2024.05.16 15:41 ThrowAway_837261 If my Academic Dismissal Appeal is Rejected I’m going through with it

I’ve struggled with depression from a very early age, and this is not the first time my academics have suffered but this is the worst it’s gotten. I failed my first semester as a freshman, took a gap semester and had a job/worked on myself. This was the first time I really understood my depression and how it effected my day to day life, and went on medication for it for the first time. I had a decent year at a community college and simultaneously held down a job where I was a manager, and things were looking up for a while. I managed to transfer into a 4 year school at the very last minute of summer, and within 3 weeks of the semester starting I was able to secure housing and classes.
This year was horrendous to say the least. I really don’t even know how I managed to fail, as most of my courses were just entry level and general requirement shit. I made some great friends up here, and overall had a pretty strong support system. I had a shit gpa last semester which placed me on academic warning, and this semester I was unable to get my grades high enough to get myself off of warning. Pending the end of the semester I’m expecting an email notifying me of my dismissal from the school, and if my appeal is denied I’m not going to continue living. I’ve been depressed for so long that I’m not even sad about the prospect of losing everything I’ve worked towards over the past few years, I’m simply apathetic to the whole thing.
I am still making strides to fix this issue, but I honestly have no idea how my chances of fixing this will be. Im working with my advisor to prepare for the appeal, and I’ve reached out to my doctor to modify my medication to help me further with my rising depression and suicidal thoughts. At this point, im hoping the university recognizes the mental health struggles I’ve been facing and sees that I’ve made genuine strides towards recovering and have a genuine chance at improving my academics, which will grant me one semester to fix my progress. The way I look at it, if my appeal is successful then I’ll already be on the right track in terms of finding better medication and getting my life right. If not, at least I tried my best one last time.
Although many might tell me to continue regardless of this appeal, my mind is already set. I couldn’t face my family and friends if I fail again, especially my parents. They’ve already helped me the first time I failed, and after making so much progress I can’t bear to tell them that I’ve fallen back to square one. They’ve supported me through the worst of my mental health struggles, and in their minds I’ve already beaten the worst of it. I’ve been wearing my strong face for this entire year, and it kills me to know that they’re so happy with how far I’ve come knowing I’ve hit rock bottom again. That’s the worst fucking part of mental health problems, is knowing that the people you love suffer watching you at your lows.
Got off track and vented for a while, but Tldr if my dismissal from university is final I will not continue living.

Build help (f2p)
Hey guys, I am spending only 10$ a month for the monthly pass because of the ads and the diamonds. According to my status (pictures) what should be my next step to progress?
*Should I spend 4K diamonds for Jill? is it worth it? Because I don’t see any way I’ll get another S tier hero. As I understood I get 5% attack and the 4 slot neurolink. Or should I just save my diamonds until I got 35k (will take ages, 2 months at least) and get a S tier weapon from the dice event. (Btw 35 is enough? And if I spend them on the event do I get more items in the way to the S tier weapon?)
It feels like I stuck for the last two weeks without any progress.. Thanks for help guys!

2024.05.16 15:38 dr_white_rabbit The Importance of Being Safe Online in This Day and Age

In today's interconnected world, the internet is integral to our daily lives. From communication and education to shopping and entertainment, we rely heavily on digital platforms. However, the convenience of the internet comes with significant risks. Cyber threats are more prevalent and sophisticated than ever before, making online safety a critical concern. This article explores why online safety is paramount and provides comprehensive tips to help you protect yourself and your data.

Why Online Safety is Important

  1. Personal Information Protection
    • Identity Theft: Cybercriminals can steal personal information such as names, addresses, social security numbers, and credit card details. This information can be used to commit identity theft, leading to financial loss and legal complications. Identity theft can also cause long-term damage to your credit score, making it difficult to obtain loans, mortgages, or even employment.
    • Privacy Invasion: Sensitive personal details, if compromised, can lead to unwanted exposure and privacy violations. This can have severe emotional and psychological impacts. Privacy invasion can also lead to harassment or stalking, creating a threatening environment for victims.
  2. Preventing Financial Loss
    • Phishing Scams: These scams trick individuals into revealing financial information by posing as legitimate entities. Falling victim to phishing can result in unauthorized transactions and drained bank accounts. Phishing scams can also compromise your email and social media accounts, leading to further exploitation.
    • Ransomware: Cybercriminals use ransomware to encrypt your data and demand a ransom for its release. Paying the ransom does not guarantee data recovery and often leads to further exploitation. Businesses can face significant operational disruptions and financial loss due to ransomware attacks, impacting their ability to serve customers and maintain trust.
  3. Securing Sensitive Data
    • Business Information: For businesses, safeguarding sensitive data such as customer information, intellectual property, and strategic plans is crucial. A data breach can result in substantial financial losses, legal consequences, and reputational damage. Companies must comply with data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA, which mandate strict data handling and reporting practices.
    • Compliance and Regulations: Many industries are subject to strict data protection regulations. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and legal action. Ensuring compliance with regulations not only protects data but also enhances customer trust and loyalty.
  4. Maintaining Online Reputation
    • Social Media Safety: Your online profiles are part of your digital identity. A compromised account can lead to reputational damage, both personally and professionally, as malicious actors can post harmful content or send fraudulent messages. Social media accounts are often targeted for their high visibility and potential to spread misinformation.
    • Professional Integrity: For professionals, maintaining a clean online presence is crucial for career growth. Employers and colleagues often review social media profiles to gauge character and professionalism. An online reputation tarnished by cyber incidents can hinder career advancements and job opportunities.
  5. Avoiding Malware and Viruses
    • System Integrity: Malicious software can corrupt files, steal information, and degrade system performance. Ensuring your devices are protected helps maintain their integrity and functionality. Malware can also create backdoors for attackers to continuously exploit your system, leading to recurring security issues.
    • Data Security: Malware can give attackers access to sensitive data stored on your devices, leading to data breaches and information theft. This can include personal photos, documents, and confidential business information, all of which can be exploited for financial gain or blackmail.
  6. Safe Communication
    • Encryption: Secure online communication is vital to protect private conversations and sensitive information from being intercepted by malicious actors. Encrypted communication ensures that only the intended recipient can access the message content. Encryption tools like Signal and WhatsApp provide end-to-end encryption for messaging, ensuring privacy.
    • Awareness: Being aware of potential communication threats, such as spoofed emails and fake profiles, can prevent you from falling prey to social engineering attacks. Educating yourself and others on recognizing these threats is essential for maintaining secure communication channels.

Comprehensive Tips for Staying Safe Online

  1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords
    • Password Complexity: Create complex passwords that include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or common words. Strong passwords reduce the likelihood of brute-force attacks.
    • Password Management: Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords for each of your accounts. This ensures that you do not reuse passwords, which can be a significant security risk. Password managers also help you keep track of your login credentials securely.
  2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
    • Extra Layer of Security: Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an additional layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a text message code or authentication app, in addition to your password. 2FA significantly enhances account security, even if your password is compromised.
    • Account Protection: Enabling 2FA on your accounts can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Popular services like Google, Facebook, and banking apps offer 2FA options, which should be enabled for all sensitive accounts.
  3. Be Cautious with Emails and Links
    • Email Verification: Be wary of emails from unknown senders and avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from untrusted sources. Verify the sender's email address and look for signs of phishing, such as misspellings or urgent requests for personal information. Phishing emails often create a sense of urgency to trick recipients into taking immediate action.
    • URL Inspection: Hover over links to see the actual URL before clicking. Ensure that the URL is legitimate and not a cleverly disguised phishing site. Secure websites typically use HTTPS, indicating a secure connection.
  4. Keep Software Updated
    • Regular Updates: Regularly update your operating system, browsers, and software applications. Updates often include security patches that protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Outdated software is a common target for cyberattacks due to unpatched security flaws.
    • Automatic Updates: Enable automatic updates where possible to ensure that you receive the latest security patches without delay. This is especially important for antivirus software and operating systems, which frequently release critical security updates.
  5. Use Antivirus and Anti-Malware Programs
    • Protection Tools: Install and maintain reliable antivirus and anti-malware software to detect and remove harmful threats from your devices. Regularly scan your system to ensure it is free from malware. These tools provide real-time protection against a wide range of threats.
    • Real-Time Protection: Use real-time protection features to continuously monitor your system for suspicious activity. Real-time protection helps prevent malware from executing and spreading on your device.
  6. Secure Your Home Network
    • Wi-Fi Security: Protect your Wi-Fi network with a strong password and use WPA3 encryption for added security. Avoid using default passwords and SSIDs that can be easily guessed. A secure Wi-Fi network prevents unauthorized access and protects data transmitted over the network.
    • VPN Use: Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection, especially when using public Wi-Fi. A VPN masks your IP address and secures your online activities from prying eyes. VPNs are particularly useful for protecting sensitive information while traveling or accessing unsecured networks.
  7. Monitor Your Accounts
    • Account Activity: Regularly check your bank statements, credit reports, and online accounts for any unusual activity. Early detection of unauthorized activity can prevent further damage. Set up account alerts to receive notifications of suspicious transactions or login attempts.
    • Alert Systems: Set up account alerts to notify you of suspicious transactions or login attempts. Many financial institutions and online services offer customizable alert options to keep you informed of account activity.
  8. Educate Yourself and Others
    • Stay Informed: Stay informed about the latest online threats and security practices. Follow reputable sources for cybersecurity news and updates. Cybersecurity is an evolving field, and staying current with trends and threats is crucial for maintaining safety.
    • Community Awareness: Share your knowledge with family, friends, and colleagues to promote a safer online environment for everyone. Encourage them to adopt good security habits and practices. Hosting workshops or informational sessions can be an effective way to spread awareness.
  9. Backup Your Data
    • Regular Backups: Regularly back up your important data to an external hard drive or cloud storage service. This ensures that you can recover your information in case of a cyberattack or system failure. Regular backups protect against data loss from ransomware attacks or hardware failures.
    • Backup Encryption: Encrypt your backups to protect them from unauthorized access. Encrypted backups ensure that even if backup media is lost or stolen, the data remains secure.
  10. Be Skeptical of Free Offers

Conclusion

In an increasingly digital world, online safety is more important than ever. Protecting personal and sensitive information from cyber threats requires vigilance and proactive measures. By following the comprehensive tips provided, you can enhance your online security and enjoy the benefits of the internet with greater peace of mind. Stay safe, stay informed, and make online safety a priority.
Being safe online is not just a personal responsibility but a collective one. By practicing good cybersecurity habits, you contribute to a safer digital environment for everyone. Remember, the cost of negligence can be high, but with the right precautions, you can

2024.05.16 15:34 FuzzyyFox I finished Far Cry New Dawn for the first time...

Marked as a spoiler as the post will be discussing events and characters from both New Dawn and 5
So about a week or so ago I uploaded a post talking about my experiences with finishing Far Cry 5 for the first time. It done pretty well and I had a great time discussing so many different aspects that I said I'd follow it up with New Dawn. And after a gradual playthrough, here I am again.
The first thing that caught my attention was the world. Obviously the map itself is a mirror of Far Cry 5 and, to my knowledge, Primal(?) but the actual world design was just so beautiful. The vibrant colours with the floral and animals felt stunning to look at to the point where I spent a lot of the early game (from roughly Prosperity to Hopes End and surrounding areas) exclusively walking place to place simply because the way the world was designed felt so beautiful. The flourishing nature mixed with the broken remnants of human civilisations with old buildings, cars and other objects was so fun to explore especially when comparing what we see in Far Cry 5 to their changes in New Dawn. In the world's I have currently had extensive exploration in (4, 5 and New Dawn), New Dawn is by far the most visually and aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Characters. Starting with the Guns/Fangs For Hires (GFFH's), the roster was a massive improvement over 5. In 5 there was not much to be behold. Sure the characters each had their own personality but building any sort of relationship with them felt difficult as they just didn't feel very connected. That's not to say they were bad in their own way but the only one I really wanted to stick around was Jess and she wasn't unlocked till the final act of (my) playthrough so it felt more like tacking her on because she was my favourite and nothing more. This was immediately fixed with Carmine in New Dawn. You get her right at the very start of the story and she was the one that I kept with me the entire game (save for a few minor instances). She was with me in both the beginning and the end and you can physically see her personality evolve. At the start she's a fairly timidish kid who you can tell is still adapting to fighting in the world. But as the story progresses she becomes more confident, even swearing vengeance. But you also see how she holds herself to blame for so many actions which makes sense since she was the one who brought Rush and the Train to Hope County. The progression and connection with her was exactly what I wanted in 5 and just wasn't something you got with any of the characters in my opinion. Even beyond Carmine the roster was so unique that each had some sort of lasting impression. Jerome, a fan favourite returning now as a permanent ally. Nana, a bad ass old woman because who doesn't love having an elder kicking ass at their side? The Judge who I swear if Carmine wasn't so good would've been my instant permanent knowing who they were, what they'd been through. Honestly I love everything about them in this way and the fact I was limited only to 1 was heart breaking. Hurk is an ever returning character in the series in some form or another, but him having a partner who seemed just as crazy as him that doubled as an ally was so cool, i just hate that im blanking on her name. Timber may have just felt like a Boomer replacement but in a way I think that that is the best thing for it. It feels similar while also feeling like a reincarnation of a loved ally. And then Horatio... do we need to describe why the pig is so cool? I haven't actually unlocked Horatio yet but I mean come on. It's a boar. Who's name is Horatio. I love him. Even with the NPCs, the mix of returning characters, both physically like the Rye Family and Joseph Seed or through notes like Skylar or the comic book girl, who's treasure hunt was so sick by the way, and New characters like Ethan and the Twins all felt so impartial to the world showing the mix of old world Survivor's and new world builders. But when it comes to Joseph, Ethan and the Twins I'll go more into detail with them further below
Mechanics. Obviously this game marks the first of the series with a number of new features such as ranks, crafting materials, health bars, there was a lot of significant changes but honestly? I'm not mad about them. Although I said crafting different ranks of guns was new here we did actually see a similar feature in Primal where the weapons were continuously upgraded to better ranks. This was just the natural extension of such in a way that felt very fitting to the aesthetic of the game. The gun designs were great the way so much junk was turned into different attachments like Bayonets, silencers, scopes etc. Health bars just aren't that big if a deal and if anything are more helpful for understanding the challenges ahead. However I do also see why people aren't a big fan of them so I believe an option to turn them off should've been added. Overall I loved the way these Mechanics worked I think they were super fun and refreshing
Twins, Joseph and Ethan... the highlights of the game. I'll start with the Twins because they're the easiest. Despite what people think they're fine. They're not bad in any way I can see. They're doing what people do in an Apocalypse. We find loads of notes from before the highway men that say other people didn't trust each other and stole form each other and were ready to kill each other. And the truth is despite the peaceful treaty between New Eden and Properity, neither of them cared to help each other survive. New Eden didn't help when Prosperity attacked and Prosperity didn't help when New Eden was attacked. The only reason they were working together was because they both wanted rid of the Highway Men who threatened their peaceful wishes. But it's because of the environment that I think people don't like the Twins so much. Think about Vaas. About Pagan Min. About Joseph Seed. Each of them are horrible lunatics, psychopaths living in OUR world. Living in a functional society. Breaking the norms and peace of a society for their own twisted gains. They cause chaos. But when there is no society to follow, and everything is already chaos, people causing chaos just aren't that fucked up. Aren't that relatable. They're looking out for themselves in the worst way possible but doing it in the worst possible scenario already. Other villains are impartial because when they do in their respective games is terrifying at the thought of that happening in real life. But we all know if we were in New Dawn, everyone would act like the Twins anyway. Pagan Min stabs a guy in the neck for shooting a bus filled with rebels. Vaas kidnaps tourists and kills/tortures them. Joseph Seed runs a cult where everyone in it is of themselves tortured, drugged and brainwashed. The Twins aren't any different to any other Highway Men. And I think that's why people don't like them. Because they're not impactful. Especially when you learn that there are other Highway Men throughout the New USA. Some of which even seem to be implied as bigger threats. A followup game where some sort of Highway Men super leader comes to Hope County and totally ruins it again as an act of revenge for standing up to them would be so much more impact full. A true threat. And to make it new, Kim might tell you that the people and resources of Hope County can't defeat someone like that. So the protagonist chases them to a new area of the US to recruit new people to stand up to them. Just a thought though.
Joseph and Ethan... Ethan had every right to be mad to be honest. Joseph as a character has fulfilled his purpose by the time New Dawn comes around. He claimed the collapse was coming. He prepared everyone for it and although not everyone, many did survive. Those who did rose from the bunkers but Joseph had nothing left to teach. All he could do was guide them into New Eden, a self sustaining utopia where man and animal live in harmony living only off the land taking only what was needed. He had done his purpose. But the people saw he was right and couldn't live without his guidance. To him he really was the shepherd of God who had guided them out of destruction. But what more could he teach? He was no longer a preacher. He was no longer a leader. With this, he had nothing left to teach Ethan. What could he teach him? How the collapse was to come? It had already come. And his mother Megan admits that Ethan was raised as a non-believer. Ethan from a young age did not believe in the religious basing that New Eden was founded upon. And he saw what New Eden had become. They were held back, restricted by the beliefs and limitations that Joseph's word had built them into. And when Joseph found his new purpose, the watchman over what he perceived as God's Holy Fruit, Ethan was left as the stand in. But none of them listened to him. No one wanted to move on, to better the world. They wanted to keep to themselves, and double down on Joseph's beliefs even when he had none left. Then the Security Captain shows up. A total stranger. Someone who just like Ethan is working to build a better world. Their strategies may have been different, with Ethan still wanting a self sustaining Utopia as evidence by his clothing, but the security captain still relished in the old ways of society. Two different approaches to meet the same goal. And yet Ethan, despite all of his efforts was met with nothing. No one listened to him. They all turned their backs on him once Joseph returned from his recluse just to crown the SC as their leader. Of course he was going to be mad. I think that after SC is met as the leader, and Ethan turns to the Twins for a deal, I think that's where his sympathy and logic come to a halt. He no longer wanted a better world he was just driven by revenge. But each of their characters were so good and I had to do some thorough research into whether to spare Joseph or kill/Release him. I ultimately chose to spare him but only really because his body apparently just disappears and to me that didn't really make canonical sense for it to just poof XD
In conclusion, the game was absolutely fantastic and I could still say so much more so just like my post on FC5 I hope we can have a lot of good discussions :) if you made it this far, thank you :)

2024.05.16 15:31 xfallenangelx95 [28/F] Seeking emotional support and highly empathetic people.I would love to find someone who doesn't judge others or make fun of them.It's very Important to have someone to rely on :) I'm here for conversations with emotionally mature people who don't have friends and need someone to talk to 🍀🌸

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

🤍
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂

🤍
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before

🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .

🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough

🤍
I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.

🤍
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.

🤍
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.

🤍
I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.

🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.

🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others

🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

🤍
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.

🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.

🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.

🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others

🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

🤍
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

2024.05.16 15:24 blackheartwhiterose Help notating two dorian chord progressions

These are both written with D Dorian in mind, though the second one doesn't stay diatonic.
The first is basically i - IV - bVII - i (Dm - G - C - Dm) but played on pad like this: AFD, BGD, EGC, DFA.
Would it be correct to label these Dm/A - G/B - C/E - Dm? Could the first be considered an F6? And how would this look in numerals?
The second progression goes like this:
FAD (F6) - FAE (Fmaj7) - GBD (G) - F#A#D (F#Aug)
In brackets is what an online tool gave me.
Many thanks.

2024.05.16 15:24 CousinHarold101 Would a Dentist simply writing their GDP Number next to their signatures be suitable as a witness for FBR documents?

Hello, I hope someone can help. I have sent off my online application for Foreign Birth Register Irish Citizenship and have all my documents ready to send now too - but the witnessing part is throwing me a little, especially the 'known to you, but not related' part.
After thinking long and hard, I realised - that I do have a dentist friend, so that is great. The thing is, said dentist does not have a stamp, business card, or letterhead - they do however of course have an official GDP Number (General Dental Council) which I believe is the proof of being a legitimate dentist.
So, the question is: do you think this GDP Number would be enough to prove he is an upstanding citizen? I could just pay a random lawyer of course, but then I would have the concern that I am not known to them! I have been getting this application together for ages (grandad's passport copies etc.) so don't want to mess it up, but it's becoming stressful now.
Hopefully someone can put my mind at ease that the GDP number will be enough! Thank you.

2024.05.16 15:22 Constipatedbride I was in an at fault accident and the lady regularly sees me at school and tries to give me a hard time, what do I do?

I was in what my insurance described as a minor fender bender. I looked back at my baby while stopped and my car rolled into hers. She immediately began yelling at me and telling me she doesn't care about why it happened, and demanded my insurance which I gave. There wasn't any visible damage to her car but I know these things can not always be evident.
I figured she didn't want to speak with me and had my husband exchange the insurance with her where she tried to give him a hard time despite I was the one driving. I got it all on dash cam and sent it to my insurance, she is claiming car damages and injuries and my insurance is figuring it out.
We both have daughters the same age, and my daughter is very rambunctious, outgoing, and has a ton of friends whom she loves and adores. This woman posts everything possible about her children online and I get worried she'll try to tell her child to bully mine, or how I would even navigate the situation if they became friends. I haven't told any of this to my child or even who the plaintiffs daughter is but I feel so anxious everytime I take my child to school and this lady stares me down then tries to tell her children how awful I am and then she gets in her car, pulls up directly behind me waiting for my car to leave while I'm evidently parked, then won't leave until I finally do while visibly texting/driving from my rearview mirror and I'm just trying to get through the day.
Obviously if she is truly injured and her car was damaged then I'm glad my insurance could take care of her, but this constant hostility is making me anxious and I don't know what to do and I'm scared it will escalate to harassment or even tormenting my little girl!

2024.05.16 15:19 Electrical-Lynx1449 film directing (i dont know what to script or storyboard)

I am a film student (highschool) and we need to create a short film our final exam. Although I do have an idea of what I want my film to be about Im having struggles thinking about a narrative for my idea. We have a time limit of 10 minutes and most people are storyboarding right now but I'm still stick deciding what the first scene will even look like. Here's a brief summary of my idea please help me bring it to life
In my Media production, I intend to create a short film that encapsulates themes of loneliness and isolation as well as subtly addressing more complex issues such as mental health and the infamous relationship teens have with the media in this current digital age. Featuring one character to enhance the audience's perception of loneliness, the narrative will follow a young teen losing grasp of reality and their inability to distinguish between reality and their parasocial existence. Despite the lack of people, I intend to create expressions of the characters' thoughts, feelings and emotions as they fall deeper in between the blurred lines of online and reality. Through having one character in my film I can achieve this by drawing all focus on that character whether it be through voicing their intentions through narration, using lighting to externalise an internal feeling, or simple composition of the frames and shots in each scene creating a unique first person experience for the audience.
Also give me any tips on actually making the film (can you tell I've never done this before 😭")

2024.05.16 15:18 bumbleblues I (23F) have been dating a guy (32M) for several weeks now, what are some questions/things we should know before continuing a relationship?

Hello! Pretty much as the title says. We have an 8 year age gap (he just turned 32 and I’ll soon be 24). Things are going really well so far and we’re taking it slow (we’ve been seeing eachother for just over 2 months now).
I feel comfortable around him and don’t have an issue with the age gap, my siblings are 8ish years older than me and a few of my best friends are between 30-35 so I’m very comfortable and used to this age range!
What are some important conversations we should be having soon as we progress? I’m aware there’s probably more to talk about due to the age gap and expectations we both have (such as kids, and when we want kids) etc. but any insight/further advice would be great!

2024.05.16 15:17 YourCaveMan 27[M4F]#Online-Just looking for a simple girl. Age, beauty, mental health issues don't matter. Want a lovely human being to fall in love with.

I will start it with some prominent character traits of mine. I would describe myself as a funny dude. Humor and i are synonymous but that doesn't mean I'm going to joke every possible second. Curiosity is in my DNA i guess. So you might often find out I'm asking many questions. Hmm..what else did i miss...well you'll find out more once you start chatting 😉
Things i like are looking at the sky, enjoying the beauty of the full moon when it comes out, spending time in nature, listening to EDM's and some pop music, watching endless hours of youtube videos, watching wrestling matches, and reading books. I read non fiction and thrillers mostly. Haven't tried any romance novels. If you want to suggest some then be my guest! Some other things I'm interested in are space,history, psychology, cars and a few other stuff. But i mostly talk about life in general, so no need to worry about the stuff i've mentioned. Btw, I'm not into video games. So can't talk about it with you sadly.
I'm looking for someone who engages in the conversation, someone who would be genuinely interested in me, and someone who wants to know me. Bonus if you're clingy! Timezone doesn't matter. So see ya in my chat/dm.

2024.05.16 15:14 ImpressiveBluebird93 Devaluing my own progress / Prolonged exposure therapy

I’m doing prolonged exposure therapy at the moment and I feel like I’m finally, after several years of feeling completely numb, starting to perceive some emotions again. A lot of overwhelming, intense anxiety and flashbacks, but some deep self compassion, grief and a little joy, too. I feel like for the first time in ages, I’m actually making some progress.
I just feel like my surroundings are not reflecting that - my therapist seems to be increasingly worried as he’s expressing how deep and entangled my trauma is and that we probably won’t be able to tacle all of it during our therapy (which to me translates that I’m a hopeless case and a major dissapointment) and a friend asked me yesterday if I’m ok because I look so exhausted (Even though I felt quite good in that moment - I can see how the past weeks have made me look permanently exhausted tho Lol). These moments somehow feel like a major setback to me - like I would be just imagining all the progress that think I’m making. I know I’m probably reading a lot into these situations - it almost feels like I’m devaluing my own progress.
Thanks for reading - just wondering how all of you are doing with your processes and if theres maybe someone who can relate to some of this :)

2024.05.16 15:11 Think-Impression-789 28 / PC / Chill Duo-gaming / Escape games and CO-OP games

Hey there!
I'm looking for a duo who I can vibe with and play games with regularly. Additionally, It would also be nice to make a genuine long-term friend online as we game. Those that value friendships and are consistent.
So, a little bit about myself. I'm 28. Grew up in the UK, but I'm living and working abroad for the moment. I'm quite the energetic and talkative type, always down for fun and to enjoy the company of like-minded people as we game. I'm very laid-back and while I do enjoy the games that I play, I also like talking and having fun with the company of others. So, if you are looking for intense and serious gaming, I might not be the right person haha
If we are talking about age range. I would prefer between the ages of 24 - 32.
Games that I enjoy playing:
And of course I am open to suggestions!
Feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM if you'd be interested!
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this! I appreciate it! :)

2024.05.16 15:03 HumbleKnight14 "Humanity was already here..."

Date: May, 27, 2089.
Submitted to: Zeus HQ.
From: Dr. Ted O'Kiley, somewhere outside the solar system...
Apologies in advance for the lack of location but like the higher ups said, no one can know exactly where we are. Due to the potential of the other companies discovering our location, we have to keep a low profile in this sector at all costs. So far, the uncovering of the ruins here are progressing faster now with the new mining tech Zeus HQ delivered to us a few years ago. But all that pales in comparison to the what me and my team found out about these ruins.
Humanity was already here.
I am not joking, we really were it seems! At least a form of humanity was here eons ago. These ruins share surprisingly similar architecture of what humans would build. Not saying they are exact but do share similarities with our own technology. Datapads, intercoms and even old computer looking devices were found amongst the ruins. All aged from time, unable to be used and extract.
However...
The scanners confirmed two points of origins. One being that these ruins or ancient outposts date back millions of years ago and even older. Long before we landed on the moon in 1964. But within the ruins, there's timestamps that go as far as the future and even have official emblems of this supposed galactic power.
Possible theory: Humanity but not our own?
Please share your thoughts when you can! 😁

2024.05.16 15:03 Chudder1488 Black Ops 1 not saving progress?

Recently started playing Black Ops 1 online to see what I've missed out on, and while the game was really fun and i got to rank 5 pretty in just a few matches it doesn't seem to save any progress and puts me back at rank 1 with 0xp to start all over again, all my custom loadouts were deleted as well. Anyone know a fix for this?
