2024.05.16 11:39 CoxT1 Help! Where am I going wrong?
Hello!
I’ve done a complete lifestyle 180 in the last 3 weeks. I’ve gone from being mostly stationary all day, zero exercise and eating what I wanted, to being in a calorie deficit (most certainly am too, about 500 less - recording everything even oil, butter, fruit squash, spices, etc), training 3 times a week at the gym doing HIIT (Fitbit says burning about 450 cals per 45 min class) and doing 10,000 steps a day. On Sunday I did 17,000 steps. I used to only drink Coca-Cola and am now drinking 2L minimum of watesugar free squash each day. In 3 weeks, I’ve lost 1lb. And I feel really heavy and bloated most of the time too.
I’ve been on my period for 2 weeks now, I take Desogestrel but I still get periods and they’re quite irregular. I wasn’t sure if this could make a difference? (I.e.: being on the pill firstly but also being on my period for 2 weeks). I’m 5ft5 and weigh 83kg, so BMI wise, I’m obese (although I don’t really think BMI is accurate but either way, I could still do with losing a stone or so). I also have PCOS.
My main aim was to improve my mental health and fitness, however I’d like to lose about a stone but have no timeframe etc on it, however I thought most people would lose more in the first few weeks/months, especially when changing lifestyle but 1lb in 3 weeks doesn’t feel like much at all.
I’ve been on this journey before with a PT, however I weighed abit less at the time and I’m doing nothing differently to what him & I did when we worked together and then I was dropping a lot more weight, I’m sure I lost 6lbs in my first 3 weeks with him. I set my cals the same to when I worked with him and again, back then, I probably was eating slightly less before I started than I was before this time and I started at a lower weight then too.
Any advice?

2024.05.16 10:59 Fabulous-Dentist903 Am I '35F' the asshole for ending my relationship with my best friend L '33F' years old, because of her boyfriend? Apologies in advance for the long story.
Hi Reddit,
I'm a 35-year-old female, and I’ve had a close and supportive friendship with my best friend, "L" (female, 33), for nine years. Recently, our friendship has become strained due to her boyfriend, now fiancé, who disapproves of me.
I've been married for 11 years, which is not conventional. My husband and I are very supportive of each other and have different interests, so we don’t hang out often except for certain activities. His job also makes our days off different. We’ve had some rough times, but we’re working through them, and no matter what we are always looking out for each other and never stop each other from doing what we love.
Because of my chill, open lifestyle, and bubbly personality, L's fiancé views me as a negative influence on her. even thou i know her way before he did.
Her boyfriend has made derogatory comments about me, which she only mentioned after I pushed her to tell me what was wrong. L and I usually spend much time together because we work together and sometimes go to the gym or grab food after work. On weekends, we do other activities like beach or horse riding, and I had no issue with him joining us. However, after a few times when he joined us at the beach, where I met friends for football and paddle boarding, he started criticizing me and my driving skills and the routes I take. Soon after, he stopped coming with us, and L started acting weird. Eventually, I discovered he had called me a “hoe in an open relationship.” and claimed I did not respect my husband or myself because I was too friendly and attract men, which he thought would ruin his relationship with L.
This situation led to a heated discussion and a temporary break in our friendship. I needed to reconnect with myself, especially because she was always fighting with him whenever she was with me, making me feel like a burden. After a months, I felt okay and resumed communication with her, explaining why I needed a break. However, we significantly reduced our activities together (her choice i guess).
L tried to mend the situation by encouraging my husband and me to socialize with them, hoping to show our positive qualities as a couple. My husband refused after learning about her fiancé’s disrespectful behavior. Honestly, I wasn’t ready to socialize with a hater, either. Her fiancé’s controlling behavior goes beyond his opinions of me. He discourages L’s interests, like singing, and displays other red flags that she seems to overlook (which me & others has motioned) to which she fired back that we are not supportive.
Despite L’s efforts to defend our friendship against her fiancé’s attempts to drive a wedge between us, he wanted her to choose between him and me. She claimed she tried to keep everything that mattered, but I was wrong. After our break, we were good for the next six months, even though we didn’t hang out as much (4 times). Whenever we did, she would fight with him and leave early or without saying goodbye, just leaving a message.
My birthday was approaching, and every year as a tradition, L and I have dinner together to celebrate before having a party with other friends. Two weeks before my birthday, I asked her to attend dinner on Friday or Saturday which my husband was to plan for us, she agreed. Two days later, she asked to confirm if it was happening and where. I said I would let her know once my husband confirmed the plans (this is very normal as i inform her always 1 day before). She kept asking the same question daily, which was unusual for her. Finally, she admitted that her fiancé wanted to leave the city for a few days and needed to know if our plans were confirmed. I canceled so she could go with him, but they didn’t go at the end. and that didn't feel great for me.
A week before my birthday, I asked her and other friends to keep their Sundays open for a pool brunch my husband was planning for us. Everyone, including L, confirmed, and she even added, "Count me in +1," assuming I’d be okay with her bringing her fiancé. I was mad but decided to let it go for her. A few days before the event, she messaged me saying she might be unable to come because she had a minor surgery and couldn’t swim. I was shocked she hadn’t mentioned the surgery before and asked why she didn’t tell me. She replied that she didn’t have to tell me everything and that I didn’t need to come. I was mad and asked if it was because of him. She yelled, accusing me of not understanding how much I hurt her by taking a break and moving on, while she didn’t.
She blamed me and our friends for not being supportive, even though we had helped her in the past. For example, she lived with my husband and me for almost a year rent-free when she was jobless only for 2 months. Her fiancé had issues with most of our group despite our welcoming attitude. She kept making excuses and gaslighting us for not being there for her since she got serious with this guy. I listened and asked how I could make things right. She dared to say "I needed to apologize for taking a break to care for myself and moving on while she didn’t". I calmly refused to apologize for taking care of my mental health, knowing how much I had worked on myself. If she wasn’t okay with that, it was her issue.
She tried to be nice the next day, realizing she messed up, but I was a bit cold with her as I didn’t expect her to say those things, especially knowing how much I cared for her and what I had done for her. The day before my birthday, our friend supposed to pick her up before picking me up. When I came down, she wasn’t there. I asked my friend if she was coming, and he said no. I messaged her, asking if she was coming or not. She said yes, but later, as her fiancé wasn’t ready. We went ahead, and three hours later (the brunch is for 4 hours), they finally showed up. Her fiancé didn’t say a proper hello and started complaining about wanting to sit at a table instead of the poolside beds we had booked. Despite arriving three hours late, she had the nerve to ask me to move to accommodate him. I refused and suggested they sit at the table if they preferred.
I saw them arguing a few times, and she kept coming back and forth between the beds and the table. When dessert was served, I decided to join them at the table to be the bigger person. Her fiancé picked up his phone and didn’t speak to anyone. When he decided to leave, he gestured for her to follow him and walked away without saying goodbye.
That was the last straw for me. She seemed okay with his behavior as if it is normal, and there was no way we could convince her that he was mistreating her. I messaged her, saying I didn’t blame him but blamed her for ruining my day and trying to force us to adjust our boundaries for him. She didn’t acknowledge my message. And the next day, she sent me a message to remove my brother’s car from her parking (the car had been parked there for two years without issue). I removed the car and stopped all communication with her and blocked her everywhere. we work with each other, so we are keeping professional.
FYI: This guy has told her in a message that I saw accidentally. Quote his exact message: "you don’t deserve to be a mother if you associates with this people (AKA - any of us), as we have no values and brings only shame and “cockroaches” to her perfect relationship.
I am disappointed and feel sorry for wasting so much time and effort on someone I never knew, apparently.
I want to make sure that i will not look back. hence am asking advice if you think i wronged her in any way?

2024.05.16 10:31 omegaMKXIII 31 [M4F] Austria/Europe - Looking for my forever lady
I am looking for a lady between 25 and 35 years old, for a committed monogamous childfree relationship. My goal is to become a true team, supporting each other, caring for each other, nurturing each other and helping each other grow and realise our goals and dreams as much as possible. I'm hoping to find someone that values a relationship as much as I do and takes it seriously. It's not the only thing my life revolves around, but it's also not just something 'nice to have' for me.
I am 186cm tall, slim/fit built, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Both my arms are tattooed (full sleeve), as are my calves and the areas above my ankles. Regarding pictures see below. I am a runner, training multiple times a week. I'm also vegan. My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. While I am mostly securely attached, withdrawing from me triggers anxiety and I have made a horrible experience with an avoidant partner in the past, so that is something I fear I cannot deal with again.
I am also an atheist.
I am a very warm, soft and sensitive person, I think I am humorous, I am self reflecting a lot and I can also be really passionate and romantic. Those are traits that also are really important to me in a woman.
I can be quite social, I am a good talker, but also love to listen to really get to know someone on a deeper level. I can enjoy an evening out with friends just as much as the silence of sitting at the shores of the river and watching the sunset in solitude (although I've been craving to watch it together with a partner for a really long time now). I can be out in a pub, at a rave, a metal show or at a football game and have the time of my life, but I cannot do these things every day; I need recharge time (on the sofa, in the woods for a run, a lazy Sunday staying in bed etc.). This should give you an idea; basically, I am a homebody that thoroughly enjoys going out in moderation.
I won't say too much about hobbies; suffice it to say I am into the dark, the obscure, the macabre, the occult, the mysterious, the erotic. It won't surprise you that I had a gothic phase in my youth, bonus points if you did too!
What I'm looking for
Although similar hobbies and interests are a plus, emotional and intimate compatibility are more important to me. I am a very sensitive and emotional person (I do cry easily and by this point I don't think I'll ever be able to change that, sorry), so if you're too, we will definitely understand each other. I need someone who I can open up to (which I do rather quickly, anyway), be myself, bare my soul to and I need these things from you, too. I've had my share of emotionally unavailable women who were afraid of intimacy so I know I can't deal with that again because of the way how those things affect me. I am always emotionally invested with the woman I pursue and in those cases that was to my detriment. But my ability to feel so deep is also something I wouldn't want to change because as of yet, although it's getting harder, I haven't given up on finding someone.
With those emotional needs come two requirements that I found to be vital over the years: First, being able to be silly and cutesy together and to accept each other's inner child and care for it. I am not talking about having to deal with another person's immaturity or inability to perform basic adult skills, rather with the way sadness, hurt, anxiety and being overwhelmed manifests for me (and maybe for you, too?). I need someone who is able to comfort me, to hold me, to allow me to be weak and needy for a while until I've calmed down, and I'm more than ready to offer the same. Your inner child can come out for a while, no problem (: Also in a positive way: Thankfully, today everyone seems to be understanding of the cuteness overload cats (or any animal baby, really) can cause; I need that with a partner. I also still have plushies as comfort animals and ideally, you do too.
Apparently in every relationship, one person is the stronger one. In the past, I have been with women who obviously were stronger than me, but that doesn't mean they always had to be strong, far from it. I certainly need to be able to feel protected, but it's not like I'm a particularly needy partner, like everyone, I have my ups and downs, but I can pull my weight and have been told by past partners that I am very caring and that they felt safe and understood with me, and providing that for my partner is really important for me as well.
Second, intimate compatibility. I am rather insatiable and love to experiment when it comes to the bedroom, so you should, too, in order that we can explore and enjoy together. I found out how fulfilling living out those fantasies can be after years of never being able to try and in a relationship, this kind of fulfillment for both partners is a must for me. I found the term 'filthy best friends and partners' to be a perfect description.
I'm looking for a balance between healthy independence and being emotionally present. A relationship where we 'get' each other; we're both each other's number one and treat each other like royalty. Where a disagreement leads to more intimacy between us as we understand better, not to resentment. Where we're comfortable baring our souls to each other, becoming a safe haven and secure base for each other. I don't like the modern notion that you 'should never feel too safe in a relationship' because that sounds like running from the mafia (and believe me, I love mafia movies); you should always put in effort, yes, but safety is one of the things I always want to experience and provide in a relationship. We shouldn't fear that a disagreement leads straight to breakup. I know ‘self-sufficiency’ is trending right now, but I feel like as partners, we’re partly responsible for each other and not our own but also each other’s happiness. Being dependant and dependable at the same time is important; making each other’s wellbeing a priority. If you’re not able to healthily depend on someone and their support while you’re having a hard time, look elsewhere. If I have to be afraid you’ll run at the first major problem that surfaces, even if it’s a ‘you’-problem, it’s not going to work. I think that all things can and need to be talked about. If you think ignoring someone for days is a form of communication, please look elsewhere.
I am looking for someone real. We all have our problems, I don't want or need a 'perfect' person. You don't have everything figured out or 'all your shit' together. Be imperfect. Admit when you feel sad and angry, lonely, hopeless or even helpless – it's all relatable. Don't hide it. Be quirky, be dorky, be witchy, opinionated, be yourself. Don't pretend.
I'm looking for someone to share romance with. Not great gestures, but small, meaningful ones. Poems for each other, expressing our feelings; cards with heartfelt messages that we put our perfume/cologne on, and a symbol that means something to us only, the print of your lips with lipstick, the way I sign and seal my letters for you.
Just as important to me is agreeing on living a healthy life, staying in shape both for ourselves and for each other, regularly working out and eating healthy. I am drug and disease-free and expect the same of you. I do drink as I love a good beer or glass of wine, rum or whiskey, but I've never really been drinking much and especially during the past year have further reduced it. One vice I have is that I enjoy a couple of cigars a year, but I can definitely accommodate you in this regard.
Another important point is aligned life goals: I value safety more than adventure. I want to build a home together with my partner, a safespace for the both of us, where we always feel loved and protected, a place that we create together, make it cozy together so we just love to get back home there wherever we might have been, a home we decorate together for Halloween (my favourite holiday) or Christmas or Springtime, as we live in tune with the seasons, enjoying nature on a walk or the rain outside, reading in our cozy home. I value stability and harmony.
Appearance-wise, I am into ladies on the smaller side), so I'm looking for someone petite/slim/skinny/healthy-fit. Likewise, I am not really muscular and don't have visible abs; like I said, I'm a runner, so if you're more into the gym-type, I'm not a good fit.
I’d prefer to move from text to voice calls, videochat and then meeting up, all of that rather sooner than later. Not that there’s a need to rush anything, but I’d rather see earlier if we’re compatible or not; as someone who catches feelings fast I need to protect myself.

Caveats
- I don't like travelling as it stresses me out; I don't mind being somewhere else for a week or two, but the organisation part of it drains my energy very quickly and dealing with stuff that doesn't work out is overwhelming to me. Smaller trips are ok, but I'm not the right person to travel the world with.
- I am not the most awake person in the morning (i.e. I identify as nightowl)
- I don't want children and had a vasectomy
- I need space for my own projects/time to recharge after social interaction.
- While I feel like I am in tune with my inner child and working on/with it through therapy, I realise this is something that could be a turn-off for people.
- I have been diagnosed with depressive episodes in the past and am taking anti-depressants right now. I realise that I am a work in progress, maybe more so than in times past, but I manage and the fact that I'm putting myself out here is based on me being ready to get to know someone new.
- I want to create a home together here, as I'm firmly rooted where I was born; I realise this is a lot to ask, but I have seen many people here being open to moving, so I want to at least try reaching out to them.
2024.05.16 10:27 omegaMKXIII 31 [M4F] Austria/Europe - Looking for my forever lady
General
I am looking for a lady between 28 and 35 years old, for a committed monogamous childfree relationship. My goal is to become a true team, supporting each other, caring for each other, nurturing each other and helping each other grow and realise our goals and dreams as much as possible. I'm hoping to find someone that values a relationship as much as I do and takes it seriously. It's not the only thing my life revolves around, but it's also not just something 'nice to have' for me.
I tried to be as concise as possible while still providing what details I think are crucial to know; I realise this post turned out very long, but I prefer those because I can get as good an idea as possible with detailed descriptions, bar actually talking to the person, and find that very valuable, so if that also applies to you, that would be awesome.
Basics
I am 186cm tall, slim/fit built, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Both my arms are tattooed (full sleeve), as are my calves and the areas above my ankles. Regarding pictures see below. I am a runner (ranging from 5k to full marathon), training multiple times a week. I'm also vegan. My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. While I am mostly securely attached, withdrawing from me triggers anxiety and I have made a horrible experience with a fearful avoidant partner in the past, so that is something I fear I cannot deal with again.
I am also an atheist.
I am a very warm, soft and sensitive person, I think I am humorous, I am self reflecting a lot and I can also be really passionate and romantic. Those are traits that also are really important to me in a woman.
I can be quite social, I am a good talker, but also love to listen to really get to know someone on a deeper level. I can enjoy an evening out with friends just as much as the silence of sitting at the shores of the river and watching the sunset in solitude (although I've been craving to watch it together with a partner for a really long time now). I can be out in a pub, at a rave, a metal show or in the stadium watching football and have the time of my life, but I cannot do these things every day; I need recharge time (on the sofa, in the woods for a run, a lazy Sunday staying in bed etc.). This should give you an idea; basically, I am a homebody that thoroughly enjoys going out in moderation.
I won't say too much about hobbies; suffice it to say I am into the dark, the obscure, the macabre, the occult, the mysterious, the erotic. It won't surprise you that I had a gothic phase in my youth, bonus points if you did too!
What I am looking for
Although similar hobbies and interests are a plus (and there have to be at least a couple things we have in common), emotional and sexual compatibility are more important to me. I am a very sensitive and emotional person (I do cry easily and by this point I don't think I'll ever be able to change that, sorry), so if you're too, we will definitely understand each other. I need someone who I can open up to (which I do rather quickly, anyway), be myself, bare my soul to and I need these things from you, too. I've had my share of emotionally unavailable women who were afraid of intimacy so I know I can't deal with that again because of the way how those things affect me. I am always emotionally invested with the woman I pursue and in those cases that was to my detriment. But my ability to feel so deep is also something I wouldn't want to change because as of yet, although it's getting harder, I haven't given up on finding someone.
With those emotional needs come two requirements that I found to be vital over the years: First, being able to be silly and cutesy together and to accept each other's inner child and care for it. I am not talking about having to deal with another person's immaturity or inability to perform basic adult skills, rather with the way sadness, hurt, anxiety and being overwhelmed manifests for me (and maybe for you, too?). I need someone who is able to comfort me, to hold me, to allow me to be weak and needy for a while until I've calmed down, and I'm more than ready to offer the same. Your inner child can come out for a while, no problem (: Also in a positive way: Thankfully, today everyone seems to be understanding of the cuteness overload cats (or any animal baby, really) can cause; I need that with a partner. I also still have plushies as comfort animals (some of which in quite a litteral sense as they make for really amazing pillows) and ideally, you do too.
There is a saying that in every relationship, one person is the stronger one. In the past, I have been with women who obviously were stronger than me, but that doesn't mean they always had to be strong, far from it. I certainly, like I said, need to be able to feel protected, but it's not like I'm a particularly needy partner, like everyone, I have my ups and downs, but I can pull my weight and have been told by past partners that I am very caring and that they felt safe and understood with me, and providing that for my partner is really important for me as well – this just to put the picture I'm (somewhat haphazardly) trying to paint into perspective.
Second, sexual compatibility. I have a high libido and I have kinks, so you should, too, in order that we can explore and enjoy them together. I found out how fulfilling living out those fantasies can be after years of never being able to try and in a relationship, sexual fulfillment for both partners is a must for me. Someone on here has coined the term 'filthy best friends and partners' which I have no shame to be stealing because it's such an apt description.
I'm looking for a balance between healthy independence and being emotionally present. A relationship where we 'get' each other; we're both each other's number one and treat each other like royalty. Where a disagreement leads to more intimacy between us as we understand better, not to resentment. Where we're comfortable baring our souls to each other, becoming a safe haven and secure base for each other. I don't like the modern notion that you 'should never feel too safe in a relationship' because that sounds like running from the mafia (and believe me, I love mafia movies); you should always put in effort, yes, but safety is one of the things I always want to experience and provide in a relationship. We shouldn't fear that a disagreement leads straight to breakup. I know ‘self-sufficiency’ is trending right now, but I feel like as partners, we’re partly responsible for each other and not our own but also each other’s happiness. Being dependant and dependable at the same time is important; making each other’s wellbeing a priority. I love the relationship model outlined in Stan Tatkin’s ‘Wired for Love’ and you should, too. If you’re not able to healthily depend on someone and their support while you’re having a hard time, look elsewhere. I know codependency is the latest thing everyone’s afraid of, but experiencing someone you’ve grown very attached to just bailing because they’re counterdependent and can’t stand working on themselves while simultaneously letting you in is something I’d rather not go through again. If I have to be afraid you’ll run at the first major problem that surfaces, even if it’s a ‘you’-problem, it’s not going to work. I think that all things can and need to be talked about. If you think ignoring someone for days is a form of communication, please look elsewhere. If you think’s it’s okay to lovebomb someone and then leave after a couple of months with the minimum amount of information and no proper conversation because you’re not ready to own up to what’s happening to you emotionally, please look elsewhere.
I am looking for someone real. We all have our problems, I don't want or need a 'perfect' person. You don't have everything figured out or 'all your shit' together. Be imperfect. Admit when you feel sad and angry, lonely, hopeless or even helpless – it's all relatable. Don't hide it. Be quirky, be dorky, be witchy, be opinionated, be yourself. Don't pretend.
I'm looking for someone to share romance with. Not great gestures, but small, meaningful ones. Poems for each other, expressing our feelings; cards with heartfelt messages that we put our perfume/cologne on, and a symbol that means something to us only, the print of your lips with lipstick, the way I sign and seal my letters for you.
Just as important to me is agreeing on living a healthy life, staying in shape both for ourselves and for each other, regularly working out and eating healthy. I am drug and disease-free and expect the same of you. I do drink as I love a good beer or glass of wine, rum or whiskey, but I've never really been drinking much and especially during the past year have further reduced it. One vice I have is that I enjoy a couple of cigars a year, but I can definitely accommodate you in this regard.
Another important point is aligned life goals: many childfree people seem to be adventurous, but that is a trait I don't associate with myself at all. I value safety more than adventure. I want to build a home together with my partner, a safespace for the both of us, where we always feel loved and protected, a place that we create together, make it cozy together so we just love to get back home there wherever we might have been, a home we decorate together for Halloween (my favourite holiday) or Christmas or Springtime, as we live in tune with the seasons, seeing them change around us, enjoying nature on a walk or the rain outside, reading in our cozy home. I value stability and harmony.
Appearance-wise, I am into ladies on the smaller side (albeit not regarding height), so I'm looking for someone petite/slim/skinny/healthy-fit. Likewise, I am not really muscular and don't have visible abs; like I said, I'm a runner, so if you're more into the gym-type, I'm not a good fit.
The natural progression for me would be to move from text to voice calls, videochat and then meeting up, all of that rather sooner than later. Not that there’s a need to rush anything, but having my heart broken because I already developed feelings due to a longer timeframe and then everything unexpectedly turning to shit is not something I want to have to live through again. I’d rather see earlier if we’re compatible or not; as someone who catches feelings fast I need to protect myself, I unfortunately had to learn that

Caveats/Possible red flags
- I don't like travelling as it stresses me out; I don't mind being somewhere else for a week or two, but the organisation part of it drains my energy very quickly and dealing with stuff that doesn't work out is overwhelming to me. Smaller trips are ok, but I'm not the right person to travel the world with.
- I am not the most awake person in the morning (i.e. I identify as nightowl)
- I need space for my own projects/time to recharge after social interaction.
- While I feel like I am in tune with my inner child and working on/with it through therapy, I realise this is something that could be a turn-off for people.

2024.05.16 10:12 paulys_sore_cock DW+ & ACS
I know almost nothing about DW or DW+ other than Ben can't seem to make his wife wet.
Ok, so facts:
1) Adam killed 20% of ACS ad $ in order to do this 'toon. Hence one must believe his team did the math and dropping Friday ACS was worth it to make whatever the fuck this thing is and it is not a vanity project.
2) Adam must be paying these people. Some of them surely must have an opportunity cost. Hence not doing it for free. And, I assume the acting union gets involved.
3) There is some Spain tax thing going on. Which is why a lot of the credits have spanish names.
4) DW+ paid for this and thought it'd generate $.
Now questions:
1) Who owns this? DW or Adam?
2) Any idea on what the tax thing is? And, doesn't that kind of fly in the face of DW's mission?
3) In other shows on DW+, do they put them out weekly or do a big drop like netflix?
4) Isn't this a headshot to your career in Hollywood?
5) Any idea how many episodes will be in season 1?
I hate that I spend more time thinking about this than the ACS idiots collectively did.
Ok, Adam has a huge podcart (maybe?). Easily reaches enough people that he can sell out 4 shows a weekend in nowhere, IN.
'toon takes a long time to make. In other words, Adam had a bunch of warning to pimp the ever-loving fuck out of this disaster.
Adam can reach a bunch of ears, so how about this for a marketing campaign that cost him nothing...? (why am I better at their jobs than they are?):
1) When a new episode comes out each week. Have a different actor on and do some highlights of the show and maybe some bits as them each in character. You know Adam "wrote" on JKL. Late night shows have been following this format for decades. It is why the star goes on. You know it is part of their contract to do the press tour and late nights. Yes, I know he kind of has people from the show on, but he could do so much more with it. This isn't a new idea. It is literally why the late night shows exist. Adam worked on JKL and talked about how he was a goto guest because JKL was too small potatoes for stars to come on and pimp their movies / shows. Adam knows how this works.
2) Have Lynch ::shudder:: write some Mr. B bits every show (he already does the opening). Adam does 5 min as Mr. B each show.
3) Once a month or so, have the entire cast on (even if some need to be remote) and do a 10-minute improv with everybody in character.
4) Have everybody do ads for the show. "Hi this is Rosenne. I play whatever the fuck she plays, Watch Mr. B on DW+ each sunday" then do a bit of freestyle comedy as the character.
5) Adam is on morning radio and "good morning" to pimp his books. Why haven't I heard him on DC101? Or seen him on Good Day DC? I'm sure people will claim due to the DW connection. No chance. They need content. I've watched a tour of Josh Brolin's personal writer's hut. It was on the level of Huel and the rocks. I've watched the weather guy take a paintball to the nuts. They will go get video of HS students running the mile. Adam would be a "get" for them.
Adam has a platform and an audience. He should be pimping the FUCK out of this show. Why isn't he. No chance he thinks it sucks (it does). He really must be this stupid and lazy.

2024.05.16 09:49 clauuubauu My husband it's acting weird but in a good way.
So my husband has been acting strange lately and doesn't want to come to the Kingdom Hall anymore, he prefers to join on zoom. We haven't been to the Kingdom Hall for a week, neither for the Sunday talk nor the midweek one, last week. We entered Zoom and honestly we weren't paying much attention and sat on our phones.
The thing that shocked me was that my husband wants to skip the midweek meeting, which is today. He goes to the gym 3 times a week, he made this schedule so he can be free for the midweek meeting (I think his parents asked for that). So yesterday he was at the gym and today he was supposed to come home after work for the meeting, but last night he told me that he is going to the gym again and if his parents ask why he is not arriving anymore, I should tell them that I don't know anything and maybe he is staying late at work. I don't know what the reason for his choice is, but it makes me happy, even if they are small steps and maybe it means nothing, I feel that it can change, slowly but it can change.
My glory will be when my husband tells his parents to their face, loud and clear, that he no longer wants to have anything to do with their religion. Because it feels like he doesn't really want to make progress towards baptism and prefers to lie in bed and do nothing rather than come to a gathering of hypocritical people and sit for 2 hours on a chair. If he ever gets baptized, he will do it for the happiness of his parents, but I honestly don't think it's worth destroying your PERSONAL life and your future family for a selfish mother who wants to control you all the time and a father who doesn't care about your feelings.
I sincerely wish that my future children have a normal life and choose their own way of life, and for my husband to be there and to enjoy the family that we have created and to have no regrets.

2024.05.16 09:49 thegaaylord can my psychologist take mg sick leave without me knowing? and am i over reacting?
i live in saudi arabia, i recently got diagnosed with schizophrenia but my old diagnoses were psychosis and bpd.
theres a uni hospital which is free only for my uni students.
my psychologist works in my uni, so i thought it was easy for me to go to meet her every sunday.
she started to play in my head, telling me i need to make a patient file so i did because i did things that harm me and she couldnt do anything.
shes making me scared since shes telling me what to say to the psychiatrists/psychologists etc…
they took me to the emergency, 4 professional therapist came in asking me questions.

theres a uni hospital which is free only for my uni students.
my psychologist works in my uni, so i thought it was easy for me to go to meet her every sunday.
she started to play in my head, telling me i need to make a patient file so i did because i did things that harm me and she couldnt do anything.

2024.05.16 08:44 hatsnsticks I feel like people are mistaking Sunday's goal with his method
Sunday's goal is to erase all conflict in the universe. His dream is to have everyone share a paradise. His method to doing so is forcing everyone into a sweet dream where he is the sole controller.
Throughout his backstory, Sunday insisted that it would've been better for birds (and people) to be locked up and cared for in a cage rather than have them endangered by the outside world. It's referenced continuously when mentioning his grief when the bird died after being released and how it parallels with Robin getting shot during her tour.
He kept insisting that people's "dream" is what harming them. To him, the weak can never be successful so they needed to be controlled by a benevolent strong. To him, it's better for everyone locked up in a fake gilded cage rather than working towards their goal. The "sweet dream" he gives to people is just a method to keep them passive under his control/Order as represented by SATISFIED Clockie controlled by puppet strings.
There are people who said it would've been better if he allowed people to leave, but that would go against his goal. Allowing people to leave would mean they are going to take part in conflicts outside of his reach. If he wanted to go for it then he would've made Penacony's hotel system free-of-charge while using the Emanator power to maintain the infrastructure. The point is that he needed absolute control to maintain his peace/Order.
Even Sunday didn't believe in his method completely. He originally allowed us a fair chance to present our case and fight him for it. In our real fight, he told us to defeat him if our "paradise" can save more people than his. And on his defeat, Sunday admitted that his paradise is just his dream which he wished could've been longer.
Outside of all of that, had Sunday actually succeeded, worlds govern by Order always have a disastrous downfall. If Sunday as the lone star slips up and loses to dangerous forces like the Lord Ravangers or IX, everyone in Penacony would be incapable of fighting back and die with him.
All in all, Sunday is a follower of Order, not Harmony. His philosophy is the strong (himself) to control the weak as opposed to Robin and the Harmony's the strong help the weak. His "sweet dream" is just a means to an end of erasing conflict through subjugation. He had noble intentions but is still very much a villain.

2024.05.16 07:07 Automatic-Campaign-9 English-Romanized Snippet
This is my response to my own post from about 1 month ago: https://www.reddit.com/conlangs/comments/1c4cukp/romanization_sunday/
https://preview.redd.it/2c34mbbvcp0d1.png?width=792&format=png&auto=webp&s=1386d09bc097f6f1930a201c3a1dab1fb5a4cdb8

To romanize something for an English audience, I looked for the sounds in the table <spelling-to-sound correspondences)>, and chose a representation which could be consistent, and not too misleading if used consistently. This is more helpful than the <sound-to-spelling correspondences>.
I chose initially to approximate /ɯ/ as /u(h)/, but since it is spelled with just as /ʌ/ is in English, I thought I'd simplify and just use a novel letter. As it is, on testing on myself and family, back unrounded vowels sound more like front vowels and front rounded vowels sound more like back vowels, i.e. roundedness trumps location, so I use <ɨ> and not some variation on . To indicate /ʌ/ I use ə, which seemed 'unintuitive' by itself, so I added to induce a 'grunt'-like sound. did not work because it produced the CUP vowel except at the end of words.
As is used in English as a 'silent letter' to indicate long pronunciations of other vowels - which I do not want, I use it here only in ways where it would be pronounced as the 'checked vowel' /ɛ/ - I double consonants after it to create closed syllables and add after it at the end of the word. The same treatment applies to , as I don't want the free-vowel pronunciation.
/i/ and are indicated by doubling and , because this is unambiguous.
To mark two vowels in a row, <'> is used. It is also used to mark ejective consonants, which the reader may or may not pronounce as such.
/a/ receives no special treatment, as, with the other rules it should always be pronounced [a].
/x/ is written as alone, after a consonant, and doubled orthographically as .
/ɾ/ is written as when alone, after a consonant, and when doubled orthographically.
No two consonants can have opposite glottalization. When an ejective consonant is doubled orthographically only the first symbol is doubled; in two-ejective onsets both consonants take <'>.
As for the previous entries, I think chrsevs and AJB2580 made a good crack at it.
I am no longer singling out previous entries in new posts.

2024.05.16 07:03 Sophl7 So like was Sunday even wrong?
Trapping everyone in a dream is certainly framed badly in the quest but is it really that bad? Well the arguments are:
Then comes the argument that living in the dreamscape is escapism because you’ll run out of money to pay rent eventually and be forced to wake up. Under normal circumstances this would be true but of course Sunday’s plan makes it so that the dream is indistinguishable from reality and people will never wake up. This essentially means that the people who are in Ena’s dream aren’t escaping reality anymore because the dream became their new reality which would be a dream come true for them (haha). This isn’t some fleeting, fake happiness either as Robin says she senses genuine happiness from the 2nd dreamchaser.
In fact the only person aside from the main cast of heroes who stands to lose anything from this is Sunday who has to stay in eternal wakening.
So basically, it is already the dreamchasers desire to live in the dreamscape forever, and Sunday is making their dreams come true. It’s only by Acheron destroying the dreamscape that causes people to want to wake up out of desperation to escape the chaos, chaos that otherwise wouldn’t exist without the main casts interference. It’s like if someone wanted to stay in their house but you force them outside by burning their house down.
If anything, for all the talk of people making their own decisions without external force, the main cast is disrespecting the entirety of Penacony’s choice by destroying the dreamscape that they wanted and chose to live in. And really that just proves Sunday even more correct in his ideology because it was the strong main cast who decided the future for all of Penacony even though they didn’t want that future and just wanted to live their lives in the dreamscape.
And for some reason the main cast is being portrayed as weak and similar to everyone else in Penacony? Like why is Himeko yelling “the will of the weak” when they aren’t weak? It’s already established by Sunday that the nameless have to be strong to go on a dangerous interstellar journey; and for Firefly, well sure she likes the dreamscape but unlike everyone else on Penacony she didn’t come to the dreamscape to live in it she came to the dreamscape to fulfill the script. And let’s be honest Elio isn’t recruiting any weak people any time soon. The only reason Sunday thinks she’s weak is because he doesn’t know she’s a stellaron hunter which only applies to 5 people in the universe. Boothill is a galaxy ranger and Acheron is an emanator both of which are strong groups of people. Black Swan is a memetic entity so she’s more ambiguous. So basically all of the main cast, unlike the rest of Penacony, has a reason to want to wake from the dream be it a journey, a script, or their own self interest. And let me remind you that none of the main cast except Robin was even supposed to be on Penacony in the first place so the only people minus Robin who wanted to wake from the dream weren’t even supposed to be in the dream.
The only person who is an exception to this is Robin. She doesn’t exactly want to live in the dream like the rest of Penacony, but she does get the harmony she always wanted in Ena’s dream and chooses to wake up anyway befitting her character as a symbol of harmony, hope, and inspiration. That being said Robin wakes up as a universal superstar not a hopeless peasant or war paraplegic.
I hope the effect on average citizens is explored in the next quest as I’m sure they would be mad over having their haven destroyed by outside forces, but I doubt that will happen given the negative framing in the quest. Especially that old man from the war who had every reason to live in the dreamscape like he’s on deaths door he doesn’t have time to go to rehab at the intelligencia guild lol
So TL;DR was Sunday really wrong giving the dreamchasers what they wanted? Was the main cast really right in forcing everyone to wake up despite Penacony’s wishes? They could have just left the dreams area of effect and let them live in the dream forever.
Edit: typo
Edit: if you’re curious what people are saying most of them say this - the dreamers will starve
I thought it was meant to be assumed that wouldn’t happen because there’s no way Sunday wouldn’t have thought of that or if he didn’t the astral express wouldn’t have pointed that out during their argument. It’s probably different from a regular sleep otherwise it’s just this gaping plot hole - Sunday didn’t get permission
Despite bringing this up in the post this is what most people said and they completely ignored the thing about “the will of the entire planet” which is what I was most interested in discussing ;( There was one guy who pointed out the people opposing the family in dreamflux reef wouldn’t want to go in the dream and he would be right, so there are some deviants who don’t want to sleep forever however they appear to be a minority. The will of the entire planet doesn’t come from a few people after all
The same guy brought up the stellaron and I thought the stellaron was only making the people sleep forever but apparently it was confirmed by Gallagher that it was eroding their minds too. This is the flaw that makes Sunday’s schemes come to an end

2024.05.16 06:52 ChibiInDra I found out that my neglectful storyteller approved a overpowered character sheet without even looking at it and doomed a werewolf chronicle to end before session one.
Just so I can bring everyone to the same page of context before actually starting the story.
World of Darkness: A setting of TTRPG’s that take place in a darker grittier version of our reality, where supernatural creatures such as werewolves, vampires, wraiths, mages and so on, exist and hide from the public eye creating their own means of protection, politics and secret societies to protect themselves against humans.
Werewolf the apocalypse/Werewolf 5th edition/Werewolf 20th edition: Is the setting/system where you play as werewolves and fight the enemies of the spirit of earth Gaia. Werewolf 5th edition is the newer system and werewolf 20th edition is an older system.
Vampire the masquerade/ Vampire 5th edition/ Vampire 20th edition/VTM: It’s the World of darkness system where you play as a vampire sneaking through the shadows of cities and feeding on humans. Vampire 5th edition is the newer system, Vampire 20th edition is the older system.
Storyteller: It's the World of Darkness way of saying “Dungeon Master”, the one that runs the campaign/Chronicle.
Flaws, Merits and Backgrounds: I can explain them as essentially D&D feats but with levels to it that determine how mechanically strong the “feat” you picked up is, I can mention one where you can make bullets bounce off surfaces to hit targets and it decreases the difficulty for hitting a target behind cover or being so shockingly beautiful that you gain extra dice when you are trying to seduce someone. Backgrounds are like feats but that need to be explained by your backstory, like magical pacts, riches or even spirit pacts. And flaws are mechanical and role-play disadvantages that you need to pick on character creation, like having an enemy or being illiterate.
Actual story:
So, I’ve been a forever Storyteller ever since I got to know World of Darkness and I was aching to drop the whole responsibilities as a Storyteller and for once enjoy this rich urban fantasy setting as a player thrown into the night as any of the multiple splats. So, I saw that someone just posted a werewolf 5th edition chronicle and applied, Werewolf 5th ed is not my cup of tea, but I’m the type that is desperate enough and open minded enough to just go ahead and try any system that I can get my hands on, so when the Storyteller of that chronicle dmed me the link to join his discord server I was just overjoyed.
I started interacting with other players, they all seemed pretty nice and I even started to plan a shared backstory with one of the girl players that was pretty nice to me (I’ll call her Avery, as she is part of the horror story too). So as me and Avery were planning the shared backstory we started to wonder what some of the merits and backgrounds mechanically did within the setting as I wanted spend all of my 7 merit points (everyone gets 7) into a specific advantage called spirit pact where I essentially made a pact with a powerful spirit to make them my companion and give me a minor supernatural ability/edge, however, how fantastical these edges and how the spirits behave varies from storyteller to storyteller as some like something more fantastical while others prefer something more realistic, so I reached out to him to get some more context on how crazy I could make the pact.
Several days passed and he didn’t replied my question at all, nor any other ones I made as I wanted to know if my knowledge about werewolf 20th edition lore would help at all (Werewolf 5th edition and Werewolf 20th edition have big lore differences despite being set in the same universe, so I needed to know to not metagame and/or ruin continuity) but well, I thought that he was just a busy guy, I mean, he was also running a Vampire the masquerade game in the same server, so I was just planning on tackling these doubts I had on Tuesday when the session started. But, then I saw one of the players in the server asking for help on how to set their character sheet as apparently they were lost on what to do, so I went ahead and offered to join VC with him and run him through the character creation, I’ll call this player OZ and he is the star of this cheating story.
So as I joined VC he just asked me how the Gifts, rites and renown system works, with Gifts and Rites being the akin to werewolf magic and renown being what you use to cast magic per say. After that he said he didn’t had no other doubts and so we started a conversation in world of darkness as a whole, there he showed me that he had pretty extensive knowledge on how Vampire the Masquerade functioned, telling me old lore related to Vampire 20th edition such as a specific bloodline of the Tzimisce vampire clan (that instead of their trademark flesh crafting ability had an extremely powerful blood magical superpower) and he even told me that he participated on several vampire chronicles before in the past and well, since he seemed to know what he was doing and there was a big, pretty simplified how to make your character summary right on the first page on the “how to make your character” section, I thought that he’d not have any other issue, as character creation (at least in the 5th editions of World of Darkness books, in my opinion.), got pretty simplified and are the types where if you understand how to create one character you can created all. So after some more talking and a friendly remind that I’m also a regular storyteller that loves to help newbies and so my dms are always open, I left the call.
Oz posted his character sheet on the server for the Storyteller to review and approve and well, he did within a literal minute of him posting it (something that at the time I didn’t noticed as I doing something else and well an experienced Storyteller could’ve noticed if he did anything wrong within a minute, so I really thought he didn’t do anything wrong and simply attended to my business). However, on Sunday Avery decided stop procrastinating and finished her character sheet, finally the whole crew had their character sheets done and since they were publically available I decided to take a peak and see what we as a pack would have as our arsenal and so on. However, when I looked into Oz’s sheet things got a bit rocky.
So, to start to addressing the problems I’ll say that Oz didn’t use a regular werewolf 5th edition sheet, no, he used an abomination (aka a vampire werewolf) sheet to actually make his character to begin with and not only that, he was way, way too op for a werewolf that just had their first change. And how OP you might ask? Well, I started to question him about it and he said that he picked a skill distribution called “Specialist” a skill distribution type that offers the following: One skill at four points, Three skills at Three points, Three skills at Two points and Three skills at one point, a skill distribution that makes your character very good at something, good at some other areas but lacking in several others, however, Oz in this particular moment has the following distribution: One skill at four points, five skills at three points, six skills at two and three skills at one and aside from that, instead of having spent 7 merit points he had spent 10 and for some reason he had also 4 specialities allocated all on his physical skills, something that is just not possible at character creation as the book specifically say that you can only add new specialities on these specific skills Academics, Craft, Performance, and Science IF you actually bought them upon character creation something that he totally didn’t do.
I know this must be hard to imagine how much stronger he was than the rest of the party, so to bring it down to a more digestible context, the amount of xp you’d need to get to get that strong is Storytellers in werewolf 5th edition are recommended to give out the following amount of XP per session:
Participation = gives you 1 XP
Perform something remarkable during the session = Gives you 1 XP
Use a Skill, Gift, or other Trait in a clever or critical way =Gives you 1 XP
“Tell me something important your character learned this session.”= Gives you 1 XP
Conclude a story within the greater chronicle = Gives you 2–3 XP
This means that if he concluded all of the requirements above he’d get a minimal of 6xp and a max of 7 xp. However, not all session you can use a gift in a creative way, not all session you can perform something remarkable and not all session you conclude an important story within the chronicle, this means that great majority of the time we’d be getting 2-3 XP per session, yep, no World of Darkness game is the type that you go from zero to hero and with that in mind, he’d need (if my calculation are correct) 114 XP to actually level up his PC to be that strong, something that it would take 35-40 sessions to normally get.
When I started to question him how he exactly got so many skill points and merits he said that the storyteller approved of his character and that he just filled stuff up. I proceeded to just inform him the right skill spread for specialist and what he did wrong on his sheet and he said that he’d fix it despite the fact that the storyteller approved of his character. After that 40 minutes passed and there was silence of both the storyteller and the player just so he’d post a new character sheet, this time containing the spread of One skill at 4 points, Three skills at 3 points, Six skills at two points and three skills at 1 point, with his merits still being 10 points and still keeping the 4 specialities. At this point I started to think that he was trying to sneak some extra skill points, specialities and merits through me, because there is no way he didn’t understood what needed to be fixed when my message has attached to it literally a print from the core rule book with the details on the specialist skill spread and what he needed to change was literally:
“You have 10 merit points instead of 7, you have one extra HP that you shouldn’t have, (Hp is calculated by adding Stamina + 3 and his stamina was 3, he has 7 hp there when he should actually have 6), you still have 6 skills at two points instead of what specialist gives (3 skills at 2 points). You have 4 specialities even though you didn’t pick Academics, Craft, Performance, or Science that are the only skill trees that actually give you free specialities, otherwise you’d just start with 1.”
At this point I started to reach out to Avery and ask for her opinion on that, so she pinged Oz and the Storyteller on chat only to ask thing like “have you guys read the book” specially because he was trying passively aggressively shift the blame on his google search that apparently “mixed up werewolf 20th edition character creation rules” that he had just “skimmed through the book due to a lack of time, that he had “no help at all creating the character and had no idea on what he was doing”. I just want to emphasize that me and Avery were not trying to intimidate him at all, nor try to get a confession out of him or anything, our questions were just about if they (OZ and Storyteller) read the book or not and about what fonts Oz used to generate that character. I was really trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he was just very misguided by some crazy algorithm and coincidence, but it was a very hard pill to swallow when you consider his previous knowledge about world of darkness system, the fact that I found a full fleshed out character creation guide on Youtube by simply typing “Werewolf 5th edition character creation guide” on Youtube at the fact that he used “I thought you didn’t want to stay on VC with me by your tone of voice” when me and him the other day were having such a lovely chat and I told him multiple times that my DM’s were open in case he needed any help and if he didn’t want to bother me he could’ve just asked help on our discord server instead of making his super Saiyan werewolf. Now, at this point of the story you’d think the Storyteller would’ve at least said something, right? But hah, no, look at the tittle again, he was just DEAD SILENT.
Oz then proceeded, while we were talking, to post his last character sheet update for us, reducing his merit points to 8, and his skill points to the following: 1 skill at four points, 3 skills at three points, four skills at 2 points and three skills at one point. At this point he was either fucking with us or straight up ignorant of the rules completely, so me and Avery wanted to talk to him over VC and explain the rules to him in case he was actually just a newbie completely lost on how it all worked and if he was actually a cheater, talk to him to stop doing that and offer him new solutions for his character in case he wanted a better skill distribution, he refused to join VC with us because he was “working” until late despite his discord saying that he was playing League of legends. So instead me and Avery decide to join early before session (that was supposed to be the day after all of this happened), settle what happened and properly help him make a character, and well he agreed to it.
So fast forward to the following day, the Storyteller remained completely silent through out the whole night, morning and afternoon and two hours before the session I simply pinged Avery and Oz to see if they could join VC so we could talk it out in about 1 hour, OZ simply left the server without saying anything and I stared at my computer screen for 2 minutes before I went out to do something else. After that me and Avery joined VC a bit before session started and hang out and talk about the situation… Almost a whole hour passed and the Storyteller or any of the other players didn’t even hop on VC, it got to the point where the Avery sent a message to the Storyteller and just then he hopped on, the first thing he said? “Sorry guys, I was on another session that I joined this week and I didn’t thought it’d take this long”.
I never got so mad in my entire life, I’ve been a forever Storyteller for the past years and I was so excited to actually be the PLAYER, but despite that I needed to keep civil. Me and Avery informed him of the situation that Oz was most likely cheating, and the Storyteller said that “He was going to talk to him” not even knowing that Oz had left the server almost 3 hours ago, me and Avery just proceeded to ask him what he was going to do next and he said that he was going to call out the whole chronicle, so me and Avery just proceeded to tell him how disappointing the whole thing was and give him a few words of advice on how to improve before we left VC. Later the same night he announced that he wanted to retire from world of darkness as a whole and tried to pass the responsibility on running his vampire chronicle for someone else, after that I just left that server and friended Avery.
Now, I guess it’s time for me to go back hunting for chronicles. Wish me luck everyone and hope you enjoyed my little story.

World of Darkness: A setting of TTRPG’s that take place in a darker grittier version of our reality, where supernatural creatures such as werewolves, vampires, wraiths, mages and so on, exist and hide from the public eye creating their own means of protection, politics and secret societies to protect themselves against humans.
Werewolf the apocalypse/Werewolf 5th edition/Werewolf 20th edition: Is the setting/system where you play as werewolves and fight the enemies of the spirit of earth Gaia. Werewolf 5th edition is the newer system and werewolf 20th edition is an older system.
Vampire the masquerade/ Vampire 5th edition/ Vampire 20th edition/VTM: It’s the World of darkness system where you play as a vampire sneaking through the shadows of cities and feeding on humans. Vampire 5th edition is the newer system, Vampire 20th edition is the older system.
Storyteller: It's the World of Darkness way of saying “Dungeon Master”, the one that runs the campaign/Chronicle.
Flaws, Merits and Backgrounds: I can explain them as essentially D&D feats but with levels to it that determine how mechanically strong the “feat” you picked up is, I can mention one where you can make bullets bounce off surfaces to hit targets and it decreases the difficulty for hitting a target behind cover or being so shockingly beautiful that you gain extra dice when you are trying to seduce someone. Backgrounds are like feats but that need to be explained by your backstory, like magical pacts, riches or even spirit pacts. And flaws are mechanical and role-play disadvantages that you need to pick on character creation, like having an enemy or being illiterate.
Actual story:
So, I’ve been a forever Storyteller ever since I got to know World of Darkness and I was aching to drop the whole responsibilities as a Storyteller and for once enjoy this rich urban fantasy setting as a player thrown into the night as any of the multiple splats. So, I saw that someone just posted a werewolf 5th edition chronicle and applied, Werewolf 5th ed is not my cup of tea, but I’m the type that is desperate enough and open minded enough to just go ahead and try any system that I can get my hands on, so when the Storyteller of that chronicle dmed me the link to join his discord server I was just overjoyed.

2024.05.16 05:54 roguescott Traveling for work makes me drink less!
I teach workshops both remotely and in person and this is the first week since probably Feb or March where I really am not consuming much at all. I fly home Friday first class (free upgrade!) and will likely have one drink. This week instead of 2-3 in a sitting, I want one or none at all. I have had a total of 4 drinks since Sunday which for me is about 5 less than usual. My colleague who I teach with doesn't drink much which makes it so easy.
And that feels really great. Dry January has made it easier for me to say no and pay attention when I'm intentional about it. Going to try and carry this home with me.

2024.05.16 05:51 Fast_Distribution531 My (21 F) (ex)boyfriend (22 M) just broke up with me, how do I stop hoping he’ll want to get back together?
TLDR: My boyfriend just broke up with me out of nowhere and I just want to get over him but I don’t know how
I was with my boyfriend for a year and a half and he ended things with me on Sunday.
At the start things were magical. I was the happiest I’d ever been and I think he was too.
I fell into a deep depression around July last year (whatever you do don’t go on the rod it will ruin your life) and I became a shell of myself. I got really really insecure about a lot of things but especially my relationship. I was terrified he would stop loving me and leave me.
In September I had a massive breakdown and we almost broke up but we decided to stay together. Things did get a bit better in that I started to feel better mentally but I never really felt right.
I would still worry so much about him leaving me. I was so anxious all the time I could barely function.
He spent Christmas with me and my family and then we went away for almost a month in January. I thought things would be getting better.
I just couldn’t shake the insecurity I had though and I started to resent the way he made me feel. I would daydream about breaking up with him just to hurt him or some how getting hurt or sick so he would worry about me.
He wasn’t perfect. I know that. But I did love him. He sometimes wasn’t very nice and would hurt my feelings and make me think that I was just being sensitive.
Things had been quite off since Easter. I was in more of a funk than I had been in quite a while and it felt like my entire life was just so empty and futile.
I didn’t see him a lot during this because this time of year is very busy at his work and I just put everything up to me not feeling great mentally and him being stressed and busy.
My 21st birthday was at the end of April and I was absolutely dreading it.
He took two days off to spend it with me on my birthday and I was so happy to be able to see him and things were so fine and he was the most beautiful Facebook post for me and I remembered why I loved him so much.
My party was on the Saturday of that week and again he came and spent the afternoon with me and looked after me while I was violently hungover on Sunday. We had been talking for so long about moving into together and we had another conversation about it on Sunday. Everything again seemed to be fine.
I started an antidepressant on Monday in an attempt to pull myself together and help control my anxiety. I was pretty sick this first week as I heard can be expected when starting this medication.
The next Saturday he invited me out to a family friend’s bonfire. He was so mean to me this night. He didn’t really talk to me and he didn’t sit near me. I was sort of left to try and talk to his mom.
We got home that night and he laid on his phone before saying goodnight and going to sleep. This was not very usual for us. We would usually cuddle and talk or have sex, just spend time together in bed. I was left feeling so confused and worried. I didn’t know what I had done.
The next day I was understandably a little demure as I continued to worry about what I had done to upset him. And he made a point to keep asking me if I had had a good night. Which I had not. Because of him. I didn’t say this.
I cried the entire hour long drive home. I thought I was just reacting badly to my medication.
The next week I started to feel better with my medication and my spirits started lifting. We still didn’t really text a lot during the day but I was able to recognise that he was probably just busy and he wasn’t going to leave me at the drop of a hat.
On Saturday we had plans to go out with his friends for dinner. He asked me to come over that day, he was going to take the day off the spend with me.
When I got there he was acting so weird again. Being cold and antisocial and quite short with me. I just figured he was stressed or something and he eventually warmed up a little by dinner.
But when we got home the same thing happened again and he completely froze me out and went to sleep immediately. I was so worried I didn’t sleep.
The next morning we had breakfast with his mom and she showed me his baby album. Things were fine.
When I got home I decided to text him and just ask if everything was okay or if I was just imagining things to be a bit off and he responded with no things are not alright I’ll phone you later.
A delightful message to receive.
He then drove all the way to my house and preceded to tell me that he just didn’t care about me when we were apart. He said he wanted to break up with me since SEPTEMBER when we last had this conversation. And he felt like staying with me would be settling.
But he said he still wanted to see me and be friends with me and he didn’t want to lose me. Upon my asking what being friends would look like he explained that we would still do pretty much everything we always have done just not have sex anymore.
He was here for over three hours and probably cried more than I did.
Now i am heartbroken. I can’t believe that I will never see him or his friends and his family every again. I just don’t know what to do with my self. I wasted over a year of my life with him and he said he didn’t love me for almost half of it
But I’m also relieved. I don’t have to worry about him judging me or leaving me. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my chest. I want to hate him but I can’t. I can see now that our relationship was probably over for a while now or at the very least I haven’t been happy with it for a while but I am still so sad.
I am worried he will want to get back together again but I am also so worried that he won’t. I just don’t know how to stop thinking about it. I want it so bad but I also don’t know if I can do it again.
I miss him so much, he was my person for so long and I just don’t know how to get over it.
I can’t stop thinking about all of the plans we had made all of the this was so looking forward to doing with him.
I just want to get into a new relationship not because I really need one, I have my fried and my family, I feel less alone now than I did with him. But it was so nice having a person. (I do recognise that it is waaaay too early to be thinking about getting into any sort of new relationship)
The thought that I will have to date again kills me too. Boy are so foul and mean and how do you even meet people outside of dating apps.
But I also don’t ever want to have to trust a boy again because it will just end the same way again I’m just not good enough.
Anyway, I’m so sorry for all of that but yeah how do I get over this and stop thinking about him?

Washington State's Respiratory Illness Dashboard for all official numbers and visualizations. See bottom of post for links to all data sources.
I'll use the category of Hospital Admissions (Hosp. ADM) due to COVID reported on WADoH dashboard as an example of how our summaries compare:
Both sets of numbers are true, it's just a different way of looking at it.
Note As of May 1st hospitals are not required to report hospitalizations due to COVID-19, RSV, or Flu. This means everything presented here after that date is underrepresented (even more-so than usual with the reduction of free PCRs and clinical testing). As far as I can tell, deaths are still reported. If anyone knows otherwise please let me know!
I have managed to find the % of hospitals reporting each week and will present it here to help provide context. Unfortunately this data updates on Fridays so it will always show a week behind.

Notes on Data and Limitations:
As of May 1st hospitals are not required to report hospitalizations due to COVID-19, RSV, or Flu. This means everything presented here is underrepresented. * In this post I provide alternative visualizations for the overall weekly disease activity and reporting on weekly confirmed case positives, emergency department (ED) visits, new hospitalizations, total inpatients/occupied hospital beds, and confirmed deaths. Additionally I provide changes in COVID-19 activity due to backfill. * Trends are calculated based on the % change in the totals for the most recent week of data compared to the second most recent. This differs from the state's trend % as they are doing a % change of a percent. * Columns with a bright bar are the new additions for this week's report. Darker bars are counts from previously published reports. An empty/outlined column is where previously reported numbers have been removed with this week's update. * These graphs were put together by using a multitude of resources spanning from the Washington State Department of Health all the way to the CDC and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). All of these state and federal reports use the standardized Sunday-Saturday 7-day definition. * All numbers except for cases and deaths are a reflection of 'healthcare encounters' and not representative of individuals nor of residence. Total weekly counts are extrapolated by applying the state's weekly hospitalizations to the NHSN's reporting of hospitalizations, bed occupancy, and icu occupancy due to all causes. Beds occupied as a weekly average are multiplied by 7 days to get to total beds occupied. * A COVID-19, Influenza, or RSV death is only counted by the state if data is complete (cause of death is attributed to the disease *and** there is an associated laboratory positive test with no period of complete recovery between illness and death). The only exception is that RSV does not need a test, only that it is indicated as cause on the death certificate.

In this post I provide alternative visualizations for the overall weekly disease activity and reporting on weekly confirmed case positives, emergency department (ED) visits, new hospitalizations, total inpatients/occupied hospital beds, and confirmed deaths. Trends reported here are based on % change of total weekly counts and not "Percent of" which is how the state reports many of these categories.I'll use the category of Hospital Admissions (Hosp. ADM) due to COVID reported on WADoH dashboard as an example of how our summaries compare:
| Summary location | Prior Week's incomplete Hosp. ADM | This Week's incomplete Hosp. ADM | Weekly Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| WADoH | 0.7% of all Hosp. ADM coded COVID | 0.7 % of all Hosp. ADM coded COVID | 0 % |
| here | 83 Hosp. ADM coded COVID | 70 Hosp. ADM coded COVID | ↓ 15.7 % |
Note As of May 1st hospitals are not required to report hospitalizations due to COVID-19, RSV, or Flu. This means everything presented here after that date is underrepresented (even more-so than usual with the reduction of free PCRs and clinical testing). As far as I can tell, deaths are still reported. If anyone knows otherwise please let me know!
I have managed to find the % of hospitals reporting each week and will present it here to help provide context. Unfortunately this data updates on Fridays so it will always show a week behind.
