Pascha; a Reminiscence from the GULAG
Should at any time we feel ourselves to be alone, or for the secular world to be so overwhelming and powerful as to render spiritual life redundant, we can reflect on the difficulties of our predecessors and be inspired by their cheerfulness and joy in the face of tremendous privations.
As mentioned before, the mid 1920’s was a period of ferocious attacks upon the Church by the Bolsheviks, both clergy and laity. Many of the faithful were executed or imprisoned in the Gulag for extended periods on nonsensical charges. The Solovetsky Island concentration camp (Solovki for short), formerly a remote monastery on an island in the White Sea region of Russia’s far north, was reserved for particularly “recalcitrant” prisoners, in particular priests from throughout the Soviet Union, including the newly annexed Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. Conditions were brutal and fatalities commonplace.

This letter from Bishop Maxim of Serpukhov, a Russian priest, is a moving testament to the resilience and cheerfulness of interned clergy during tremendous oppression. The Paschal context of his letter is poignant for us this week.
At Solovki we had several secret Catacomb “churches,” but our “favorites” were two: the “Cathedral Church” of the Holy Trinity, and the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The first was a small clearing in the midst of a dense forest in the direction of the “Savvaty” Assignment Area. The dome of this church was the sky, The wails were the birch forest. The church of St. Nicholas was located in the deep forest towards the “Muksolm” Assignment Area, It was a thicket naturally formed by seven large spruces. Most frequently the secret services were conducted only in the summer, on great feasts and, with special solemnity, on the Day of Pentecost. But sometimes, depending on circumstances, doubly secret services were celebrated also in other places. Thus, for example, on Great Thursday of 1929, the service of the reading of the Twelve Gospels was celebrated in our physicians’ cell in the 10th Company, Vladika Victor and Fr. Nicholas came to us as if for disinfection. Then, catacomb style, they served the church service with the door bolted. On Great Friday an order was read in all Companies informing that for the next three days no one would be allowed to leave the Companies after 8 p.m. save in exceptional circumstances and by special written permit of the Camp Commandant.
At 7 p.m. on Friday, when we physicians had just returned to our cells after a 12-hour workday, Fr. Nicholas came to us and told us that a Plashchanitsa (burial shroud with the image of Christ) the size of one’s palm had been painted by the artist R. The service-the rite of burial–was to be held and would begin in an hour. “Where?” Vladika Maxim asked. “In the great box for drying fish which is closest to the forest, next to Camp N. The password: three knocks and then two. It’s better to come one at a time.”
In half an hour Vladika Maxim and I left our Company and started out for the indicated “address.” Twice patrols asked for our permits. We, as physicians, had them. But what about the others?–Vladika Victor, Vladika Ilarion, Vladika Nektary, and Fr. Nicholas? Vladika Victor worked as-a bookkeeper in the rope factory. Vladika Nektary was a fisherman; and the others weaved nets. Here was the edge of the forest. Here was the box, about nine yards long, without windows, the door scarcely noticeable. Light twilight, the sky covered with dark clouds. We knock three times and then twice. Fr. Nicholas opens. Vladika Victor and Vladika Ilarion are already here… In a few minutes Vladika Nektary also comes. The interior of the box has been converted into a church. On the floor, on the wails, spruce branches. Several candles flickering. Small paper icons. The small Plashanitsa is buried in green branches. Ten people have come to pray. Later another four or five come, of whom two are monks. The service begins, in a whisper. It seemed that we had no bodies, but were only souls. Nothing distracted or interfered with prayer… I don’t remember how we went “home,” i.e., to our Companies. The Lord covered us!
The bright service of Pascha was assigned to our physicians’ cell. Towards midnight under various urgent pretexts arranged by the section, without any kind of written permit, all who intended to come gathered, about fifteen people in all. After the Matins and Liturgy, we sat down and broke the fast. On the table were Paschal cake and cheese, colored eggs, cold dishes, wine (liquid yeast with cranberry extract and sugar). About three o’clock we parted.
Control rounds of our Company were made by the Camp Commandant before and after the services, at 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Finding us four physicians headed by Vladika Maxim, on his last round, the Commandant said: “What doctors, you’re not sleeping?” And immediately he added: “Such a night…and one doesn’t want to sleep!” And he left.
“Lord Jesus Christ! We thank Thee for the miracle of Thy mercy and power,” pronounced Vladika Maxim movingly, expressing our common feelings.
The white night of Solovki was nearing its end. The delicate, rose-colored Paschal morning of Solovki, the sun playing for joy, greeted the monastery-concentration camp, converting it into the invisible city of Kitezh and filling our free Souls with a quiet, unearthly joy.

2024.05.16 11:51 JarethOfHouseGoblin A TERRIFYING thought occurred to me recently.

I've talked about this before but a couple years back when I was in grad school there was a group assignment and the teacher assigned the groups. Well, there was this very Christian Karen who was part of the group. The assignment was we were supposed to use the prompt we were given and make a treatment plan based around it. For context, I was in a masters program for psychology and I say "was" because I graduated a few months ago. I'm paraphrasing but the prompt said "Jose and Susie are in their early 20's. They report having to have fought a lot lately and both say that they're frustrated with each other for not communicating what's actually on their mind." We were coming up with questions which could be asked that could then be incorporated in a treatment plan. Basic questions like how long they have been dating, how busy they are with work, if they live together. Yada, yada, yada. Since no one said it and it is entirely appropriate (depending on how it's asked, of course) to ask about sexual activity, I went ahead and broke the ice on that. Well, at that point, Karen piped up. The exchange went like this.
Me: we could also ask them if they're sexually active and how often
Karen: nothing in the prompt said they were married
Me, visibly confused: what does that have to do with anything?
Karen: well, I'm a Christian. I can't ask them things like that.
She nearly derailed the entire assignment over what is an entirely appropriate and normal question. Someone had to calm her down and we were able to get through it and got a good grade on it. But........wow.
But my interactions with her, unfortunately, didn't stop there. The following day, several of us (including her) all ate lunch together and someone brought up the topic of everyone's parents providing a relationship example. People talked about their experiences and then I shared mine. I mentioned that I grew up in 2 parent household and that my parents were very conservative. The microsecond I mentioned that, Karen bitterly and defensive responded "what's wrong with that?!" Before angrily standing up from the table in a huff and walked away for a bit. The incredible irony of this is I was just mentioning that as a bit of coloring to introduce my overall point. Because I had talked about that, although my parents were both conservative, they didn't adhere to strict "traditional" gender roles; both worked and helped out equally around the house. And I was ultimately praising my parents for setting a positive relationship example. Karen didn't hear any of that part because she couldn't fucking get over herself. I went into total surprised Pikachu mode upon the realization that a deeply Christian Karen was also a partisan conservative dipshit. /s
I bring all this up because of the scary thought which occurred to me recently:
I think we were set to graduate around the same time. Which means she very well could be a practicing counselor right now. A licensed counselor, mind you.
Holy fucking shit!!

2024.05.16 11:50 blumaa Go to web-component definition

I'm really struggling with this one. I've been an nvim user for a few years now. Been through four or five iterations of my nvim config. Here are my dotfiles.
The problem: Go to definition does not work with web-components.
Example: ${this.text}
This is a custom web-component. It's being imported like this: import '../fd-chip/fd-chip';
The question: How can I get go to definition to work here?
in my nvim/init.lua, I have an autocmd that attaches keymaps when lsp is attached:
autocmd('LspAttach', { group = MyGroup, callback = function(e) local opts = { buffer = e.buf } vim.keymap.set("n", "e", vim.diagnostic.open_float) vim.keymap.set("n", "gd", function() vim.lsp.buf.definition() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "K", function() vim.lsp.buf.hover() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "vws", function() vim.lsp.buf.workspace_symbol() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "vd", function() vim.diagnostic.open_float() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "vca", function() vim.lsp.buf.code_action() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "vrr", function() vim.lsp.buf.references() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("n", "vrn", function() vim.lsp.buf.rename() end, opts) vim.keymap.set("i", "", function() vim.lsp.buf.signature_help() end, opts) end }) 
Can anyone lead me in a direction of how to investigate the problem here or what could be a solution? Thank you so much.

2024.05.16 11:44 EntireAd9229 Root cause and memory loss depression type

Hi,
I was wondering if some of you who have chronic depression since a long time with memory losses (short term, middle and long term) had found specific root cause associated with it?
I'm trying to find the root cause of my depression but I can only see a breakup that I have been dealing with (at least in the real world cause I still have dreams of my ex gf and still have little thoughts times to times of me trying to get back with her but not contacting her at all about this).
I think I have been a really impulsive person life's choices related (for example breaking-up with my ex gf and going no contact was absolutely a compulsive thing not really mature but I thought at this time it could help me about my depression ultimately it didn't help at all), but I'm trying to get better with this behavior and don't know if it could be related to my depression and memory losses issues (only things I remember of me are very vague it's like I only remember cause I know it has existed very vague visuals, no emotions, no sounds and it's more likely traumas with a little t not big traumas, like stressful events I have been dealing with and tried to understand and cleared out recently with EMDR but didn't seem to work at all or at least affect my present depression).
It's like all started with this breakup but I spoke everything I thought was important and necessary to my ex gf at the time of the breakup really specifically and it didn't improve anything at all even it seems that all things are cleared out for both of about this breakup.
Or maybe it's more about my parents breakup but it seems that it didn't affect me at all, I was prepared for it during a long time before it happened, I have no memories of this event as the rest of my life (school, driving license, holidays, anything, ...).
I already talked a lot about all these things with therapists but it didn't help or improved ever (at least my current symptoms and situation).
Any thoughts about my situation? Any advices except going to a Dr?
Thank you for your help and time.

2024.05.16 11:44 LaserQuacker Camera View doesn't Lock on View or Object (and general question on view movement)

Hi kind Redditors and Artists, I'm a newbie trying to figure out stuff and this is my problem.
I'm following my first blender tutorial to learn keys and stuff. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0J27sf9N1Y&t=424s&ab_channel=BlenderGuru
The tutorial shows that, by selecting the camera and, in its properties, toggling "Camera to View", you can then move the camera with your view, while on camera view.
The problem is:
Even other tutorials show that, simply selecting "camera to view", without the "lock to object", should be sufficient, but... it's not?
Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=targLPsL2Ao&t=108s&ab_channel=BlenderBaseCamp
I'm stumped. Could be handy to have the camera locked to an object while moving it, but it doesn't work.
Also, in the NORMAL view, I find myself struggling since the view it's ALWAYS locked on an object. Is there a way to make the view not locked to any object? Maybe to the center of the scene, for example?
I have the latest Blender, 4.1, and I have (not by my choice) a Mac.
Thank you very much for your help.
I will try to post some pictures in comment, since Reddit doesn't make me post pictures AND text in the post. Don't know why.

2024.05.16 11:43 CommunicationSafe501 Tips for leg day with weak upper body

So I have a pretty imbalanced body strength wise. My upper body (especially arms) is pretty weak while my lower body is a lot stronger. That makes legs days challenging. I currently work out with barbells/dumbbells at home and a weight that challenges my legs is way too heavy for my arms so I can't get the weight up/down for squats for example and if I lower the weight it doesn't feel like a challenge at all. Anyone got tips for exercises that use arms as little as possible while I work on building strength there? RDLs work fine so do Split Squats usually.

2024.05.16 11:41 Leather_Agency9743 HELP PLEASEE <3 MIL to be.

SO SORRY FOR THIS ONE. IT IS VERY LONG!!! <3
I am a little worried and would love some help/advise on how to control my emotions around some situations, or if i might be over reacting. My MIL to be can be rather overbearing and has an issue accepting boundaries. Over the past several months I have noticed that my MIL can be somewhat overly mothering and emotionally manipulative. She also seems to try to target me whenever my finance is not around, and when it is just me and her. i.e. She had a tantrum when I told her that she could not join us on a walk which my fiance and I wanted to do as a couple AS A DATE DAY. My fiance later tried to have a conversation with her about this and she described it as just being playful...
She also refers to my fiance, his two brothers, their partners and myself (as a collective) as children "Do you think the children will like this" or she will talk to my FIL in front of us as "The children..." - Bare in mind I am 30 in November - My own parents never categorize me as a child so I am somewhat shocked that she does this - All of the "so called Children" in my fiances family are 23 and over. At first I thought this was a term of endearment that she was just too used to saying, but after my fiance had a conversation with her about this asking her to stop saying this in reference to me, as it was making me extremely uncomfortable, I was asked so many questions as to why I didn't like it. I advised that I found it belittling and patronising as my own parents don't refer to me and my siblings in that way. And also that I was nearly 30 now and I find it a little offensive (I have my own house and worked hard for it, I have two degrees which again I worked hard for, and I have been through a lot in my life, I stopped being a 'child' a very long time ago)- I know that this could be me overreacting a little bit, but this is whole new territory for me as I have never been referred to as a 'child' in my adult life, not even by my own parents who refer to me either by my name, or as their eldest daughter.
I am sorry if anyone else has the same situation and is okay with it, but it just makes me uncomfortable. When I was explaining about how I was feeling she was smiling the entire time but looked so confused at the same time, as she couldn't understand why I felt the way I did. And she continues to use the word Children to describe me and my fiance. Even my FIL has told her to stop it, but she doesn't seem to understand or pay attention to it.
The big red flag for me was this: The other day my partner and I went to see his parents for a visit. He was in the garden in deep conversation with his dad, and I was talking to his mother in the dining area, the conversation was quite lovely at first... Until she started talking about buying fabric from a well know UK fabric and craft store to make some elegant dresses. She had a lovely royal blue material which she was showing me and advised that the both of us should go on a trip to the store together, as she really wanted to by the same type of fabric, but in emerald, green (WAIT FOR IT). She was going on about dresses and weddings, and my gut instantly knew where this was going. A few moments later, she says, “I would really love to make a nice dress in blue for *bother-in-laws wedding*” and then proceeded to say, “... and I would like to make something in the emerald green for your (and my fiancés) wedding” - HELL TO THE FRICKING NO!!! Please note, me and my fiancé got engaged in September of last year, and I happily told MIL and my fiancés family that I was not the conventional sort of gal, I never wanted to wear just white, or white at all. I showed them all, numerous times, the picture from my Pinterest board, of what I hoped my wedding dress would be or at least look like. And guess what colour that dress was and the colour I have wanted my dress to be ever since I can remember… IT’S EMERALD GREEN... I created my Wedding Planning Pinterest board in 2015 and I have always wanted to wear Green.
This conversation literally hit me to the point where I was either going to cry or blow up - Due to the share fact that she was so adamant that she wanted to wear the same colour as me, but also that she did this when it was just me and her in the room and no one else was around to hear it. Somehow, I just managed to keep my cool and I simply said, "NO. I am sorry, but you are not wearing the same-coloured dress as me on my wedding day. Absolutely not. And I am not meaning to sound like a bridezilla in any way here, but that is a very specific colour that I have had picked out in my mind for a long time now. No, please don't wear that colour, anything but emerald green" She seemed shocked at first, and then joked it off saying, “Well I don't have to wear emerald, green (DAMN RIGHT). I will wear blue or something.” And then she made a joke about the fact of me saying "on my wedding day" like "OOO MY WEDDING... OOO IT'S MY WEDDING DAY" . I didn't have the energy to question this so i just had to laugh it off. I later told my fiance about this and he was frustrated at the situation, and advised that she will not be wearing the same colour as me on our big day. It worried me that she does things like this when it is just me and her, sometimes it is very minor things, but they are noticeably overbearing and manipulative in my eyes.
She still treats my fiance like he is a teenager, and tried to do the same thing with me, like "oh let me clean you glasses for you" and "take a coat with you its cold" (I am always hot to the point I overheat, she is aware of this), "here you go let me do that for you" These are just examples, but she acts as though we cannot do things for ourselves at times, and her way is the best way. I have been very independent since I was 18 years old. So it is hard for me to see this as anything but patronising.
Do you think I am overacting or is it normal for me to feel uncomfortable? Any advise on how to tackle these issues would be really helpful. I have spoken to my mum and sister about this, and they are very hurt by the way I am feeling at the moment. I just wondered if this is how other people would also feel, or if anyone else is or has been through the same.
THANK YOU <3 And sorry again that it is so long. And if you have made it to this point. I appreciate it! x

2024.05.16 11:39 PabloBardock13 [RANT] Challenge Rush, What it was and The Annoying mess that it is

I've been playing since the begginning and I remember summer '19, after the first anni if I recall correctly, that they added a new event called: Challenge Rush.
Sometimes they did it by tags so you fought super saiyans or lineage of evil for example and sometimes they did it by colour and there were no boosted characters, only the ones that you had, any tag, any colour, any unit you wanted to use (at the begginning creating a team was so much more complicated without zenkais, LF buffs and Leader buffs but you could create random teams that could work pretty well...) and it was 5 or 6 different battles each with great difficulty and grat reward (I remember once it was like 300 cc per win and no BS clear conditions or stars). It was also fun bc you could try out new teams or fun combinations like a nameku blue spam team to clear the event or a fast dropping card team using future gohan and it didn't matter bc you didn't need to use a predetermined team.
It was a great mode until they did the same they did with Ultra Space Time Rush (Wich gave also ez 500 cc per "Gauntlet" or difficulty) made the Zenkai version that gives us no cc, prolly bc many people could clear it easily (and they dont want you to be F2P and earn good cc) after the level cap went from 3000 to 5000 but before it was a real feat to clear it.
They'll prolly won't do this to TOP bc its only giving limited cc to the people who play it well and have a good team (mostly not F2P)
When they did the Challenge Rush for DB campaign I flipped up bc if you didnt arts boost your characters they literally did negative damage and died like nothing, only able to use DB characters (only the new ones were decent) I almost wasnt able to enjoy this event.
I was not excited when I saw for the GT campaign that they were doing another Challenge Rush bc I thought: Difficult event, new units required, arts boost required, GT only (I had real good GT but if it had to be arts boosted I was Fucked), but to my surprise I was able to clear it with my GT units no diff, GT units were not compulsory, arts boosts were not required, the reward was meh, 1000cc at max and you needed to play the simple phases over and over again each day but the last one had some fun stars conditions like: use 3 GRN or use 3 BLU with all the colours, the challenge was fun and I tried to beat it with what I call CHALLENGE TEAMS, like a 99+ combo team just to see if I could keep it going, a NameKu full Blue card build, a Beast Gohan only etc. I spent a lot of energy to do those challenges only for me and It was real fun.
My surprise arrived with the next Challenge Rush because I wasn't able to play with units from that campaign (Cell Saga and later the same with Saiyan Saga), they boosted the new or some zenkai'd old ones from that saga and was somewhat difficult bc I didn't get Super Vegeta, or Ultra Gohan (I got them when the event ended, lucky me), neither Nº16 and I didnt have ssGohan sparking nor LF Perfect Cell (the one that goes boom) so I tried without using characters from that saga and suddenly and for no apparent reason their arts cards were increasing in ki cost every time I used them and the debuff didn't go away until a lont time without using any arts cards had passed and I had no visible debuffs so I checked the enemy's kit and there was nothing, they simply nerfed artificially every other characters not from the saga (I think making it really challenging and boosting the saga was enough for some people to try and summon) just so you had to summon for the new units just to beat this event (with meh rewards again and not from the challenge battle but from the easy repetitive ones), I managed to beat some of the color challenges using units from other sagas with some clever rotation and supports but anyone without as much skill and time to build their boxes as me (6 years playing) could find this shit unbearable...
they are making moneygrab events so F2P spend all their cc and maybe some money just to beat what otherwise would be a real fun event and battle to test yourself if you wanted
I suggest making a Revolution like they did for Minecraft, WarThunder and HellDivers 2 so they put in some real fun events (make them real challenges if you want but that you can clear the way you want), less bs contidions and some good rewards like they used to be, so much effort to moneygrab and nothing to keep us happy

2024.05.16 11:38 Agreeable-Ad4806 Exploration of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra Part 2

Preface: This is for Vedic, Sidereal Astrology.
This took a super long time to finish, but I've finally reached a point where I think I'm done trying to improve it. This part will focus more on how Purva Bhadrapada manifests for individuals.
Nature
Purva Bhadrapada reminds me a lot of Kali Yuga. In Hindu cosmology, Kali is the final of the four ages that the world goes through as part of a continuous cycle of creation, maintenance, and dissolution. It is the final stage before the onset of a new cycle, promising the destruction of the old order and the eventual merging of all into a unified whole. It signifies a time of dual balance before dissolution of individual identities and the reunification of all existence with the divine source. This can be viewed as being similar to the process of individual death, but it is on a universal scale. Kali Yuga is considered the age of darkness and moral decline, where spiritual values deteriorate and materialism prevails. According to Hindu scriptures, Kali Yuga is characterized by widespread social, political, and moral corruption, as well as a decline in virtue and Dharma (righteousness). It is believed that, during this age, human beings face numerous challenges and spiritual tests, and the pursuit of higher consciousness becomes increasingly more difficult compared to the previous Yugas. Just as Kali Yuga tests individuals with challenges to their spiritual resolve amidst the prevailing degeneration of values, Purva Bhadrapada is a cosmic stage where one's truest nature is tested through the weakening separation of the spiritual and the material. Here, individuals are made to confront their deepest fears and desires, burdened with the challenge of facing their true nature and purifying their souls. The emphasis of this nakshatra lies in releasing attachments amidst the seduction of outer freedom and power, mirroring the spiritual trials inherent to Kali Yuga. Yet, despite challenges of degeneration, there exists a unique opportunity during the stages of both Kali and Purva Bhadrapada. Kali is believed to be the best time for spiritual progress and true liberation because individuals can attain spiritual growth more rapidly due to the intensity of the challenges they face during this period, and the same is true of Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra. Both Kali and Purva Bhadrapada emphasize the importance of transcending mundane concerns and dedicatedly seeking spiritual truth amidst the backdrop of pervading ignorance.

The primary nature of Purva Bhadrapada is that of penance and disequilibrium. Purva Bhadrapada is the stage of evolution where individuals are made to undergo intense internal transformation and dissolution, shedding layers of their being in preparation for spiritual renewal and divine return. This process of metamorphosis can be seen as a type of penance, whether embraced willingly or thrust upon them. It offers eventual rewards as they journey towards enlightenment. As the primary nature of Purva Bhadrapada revolves around penance and transformation, individuals heavily influenced by this Nakshatra are oriented towards personal introspection and societal purification, viewing their lives as both a personal quest for growth and an opportunity to contribute to the greater good. Individually, they seek to cleanse themselves of past transgressions and strive for spiritual redemption. They feel personally responsible and remorseful for their impact on others. At a broader societal level, they are driven by a strong sense of justice and a duty to rectify societal wrongs to contribute to the collective upliftment and purification of their community. As such, they often subject themselves and others to extreme physical, mental, and spiritual challenges. They are presented with a kind of spiritual trial of sacrifice: either they can willingly embrace self-denial and endure while remaining detached, or they can create so much desire and fear that it causes them to lose the direction of their souls in the process. While the primary manifestation of Purva Bhadrapada energy is inwardly focused on cultivating self-discipline and perfection, oftentimes to an unhealthy degree, sometimes the focus can instead shift outward. This is where Purva Bhadrapada gains a lot of its infamy; Purva Bhadrapada is revered as one of the most "difficult" and "intense" nakshatras among Vedic astrologers. It is an asterism that gets approached with trepidation due to its somber imagery and associations with themes of violence, debauchery, and malevolence. The negative traits linked to Purva Bhadrapada, such as paranoia, pessimism, and hedonism, contribute to its daunting reputation. And for the most part, the fear of this nakshatra is justified. Not only are these individuals capable of doling out punishment themselves through various means like violence, manipulation, curses, etc., but they can also inadvertently bring out the self-destructive or uncontrolled nature of others. They are the types to cause deep introspection and confrontation with one's own shortcomings and fears, often acting as catalysts for irreversible transformation of character.

In terms of Purva Bhadrapada's inherently unbalanced nature, the trajectory is quite clear. These natives are not the type to do anything in moderation and often have an unstable demeanor and sense of self. They will always be pulled towards the polar extremes of anything, but they can flip on their values rapidly following any transformative event. They may occupy the deepest levels of material saturation, completely lost in chasing fame, drugs, sex, and uncontained immoral activities. Yet, paradoxically, they can also find themselves drawn to the heights of spiritual austerity, sometimes even at the same time they are trying to maximize their material standing. This innate propensity for extremes and contradiction manifests in every aspect of their lives, from their relationships, to their goals, to their beliefs, and to their actions. They are esteemed for their amiable disposition, characterized by warmth, thoughtfulness, and a selfless inclination to assist others without seeking acknowledgment. Yet, concurrently, they are often perceived as self-serving, prone to bouts of ill temper, and housing a proclivity towards ego-centricity. Despite appearing outwardly normal a lot of the time, they can be very eccentric. They are the types to lead clandestine lives, harboring secrets and maintaining hidden facets of their personalities and activities, even to those closest to them. This can make them seem nefarious and untrustworthy. Sometimes this is the case, but despite having a reputation for deceit, many of them are known to be sincere and honorable. Yet, underlying however they are being perceived is a deeper struggle to fully identify with anything. This challenge leads to inner conflicts and uncertainties, as they grapple with their sense of self and their place in the world. They are up and down–left and right, constantly in a state of internal conflict that leaves them questioning who they really are. They can feel like they don't know themselves while still being hyper-individualistic and defensive over whatever their current sense of identity is, even though it is likely to change. These contradictions reveal the complexity of their psyche, where outer appearances often mask inner conflicts and contradictory emotions and experiences. Purva Bhadrapada natives navigate the space where boundaries are starting to blur, reflecting the burgeoning singularity of existence in their minds. Due to this, sometimes they can seem like walking contradictions, embodying multiple clashing characteristics at once. For example, while they may harbor a sense of superiority over others, they can also experience deep-seated insecurity and jealousy. They can like to be critical, but cannot handle criticism. Additionally, they might demonstrate a strong desire for independence and self-reliance, yet simultaneously crave validation and approval from those around them. These conflicting traits contribute to their complex and enigmatic nature, making them intriguing yet challenging individuals to understand to others and themselves.

Purva Bhadrapada's inclination towards extremes extends to their pursuit of goals, as they approach certain tasks with unwavering ambition and dedication. They set high standards and are willing to push themselves to extreme limits to get what they want. This relentless drive for perfection and attainment can sometimes lead them to engage in behaviors that are harmful to the well-being of themselves or others, as they struggle to find balance and moderation. At this point, you may be asking, "how is that penance if they are only striving to selfishly get what they want?" Well, the painful truth about this is that they do not really want these things. They are told by others ignorant to their situation that they will be happy when they achieve some kind of abstruse goal set forth for them by society, and they are sent on a goose-chase of material ambition to achieve happiness, but this inevitably only leads to further dissatisfaction. They are met with pain, humiliation, and harsh transformation, but they keep pushing towards their aspiration of material fulfillment. It is only when they get that job, marry that partner, become famous, etc. that they realize it does not bring them happiness or fill them with the sense of purpose they crave. In fact, this realization often sparks intense anger within them as they confront the worthlessness of what they spent all their time chasing. The journey through Purva Bhadrapada is undeniably arduous, but that is to be expected with such a potent force. They are called to transcend their attachments, lest they be forcefully ripped away. They begin to grapple with an inescapable emptiness they feel when interacting with the world, and this can often lead them to deep feelings of nihilism. Purva Bhadrapada natives are predisposed to being unhappy, and this is not a shallow kind of unhappiness that fades based on external circumstances. Rather, it is a deeply existential depression– a feeling of confused worthlessness and dissatisfaction they often battle with for the duration of their lives. Their experiences and attachments become increasingly burdensome as they grow more aware of the fleeting nature of life amidst the desire they have to get the most out of their lives. These natives openly acknowledge the impermanence of worldly intentions, and this can make their minds unpredictable and unstable. Their newfound philosophy can be used to justify any actions according to moral relativism. This marks the beginning of a test of their true nature as they grapple with the realities of life. If nothing matters in the grand scheme – where whatever you do will eventually fade into obscurity, wiped away with the start of a new cycle – they become mentally uninhibited, feeling free to do whatever they please. The real concern lies in what they choose to do with this. Doing whatever you want only becomes harmful when what you want is harmful. But sadly, the reality is that mast people are not strong enough to fully resist the temptation of evil. Therefore, this trial is exclusively administered to individuals who possess a high level of spiritual advancement. Regardless of the difficulties they face, those governed by Purva Bhadrapada have tremendous inner strength and personal resilience, which often manifests in worldly and spiritual achievement and prosperity in various facets of their lives.

Individuals born under the influence of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra are inherently inclined towards detachment from external influences. This detachment often leads them down two distinct paths. Some choose to embrace a life unbound by societal norms, driven solely by their inner convictions. These individuals seek to experience life to the fullest, embracing both its joys and challenges. However, if they feel unfulfilled, they may turn to darker pursuits in search of excitement. Conversely, others utilize their detachment for spiritual advancement, renouncing materialism in favor of a disciplined quest for higher truths. In both cases, detachment becomes a defining trait, shaping their lives in divergent yet meaningful ways. Whether they become revolutionary leaders or appear lazy due to their selective motivation, their actions are stirred only by what truly invigorates their souls. Their inner character often changes with time. They can often start out seeming quite innocent and fragile, and a lot of the time they will have something about them that invites torment, be it their big and eccentric personalities, their height, their weight, their looks, etc. This often leads people to perceive them as different and vulnerable. Unfortunately, this vulnerability often attracts individuals who seek to exploit, victimize, or corrupt them. There's a noticeable pattern of others attempting to take advantage of their perceived weakness, whether it be through just trying to make them feel bad, manipulating them, coercing them to do things they do not want to, or forcing them to be alone by treating them as outcasts. This predatory behavior can leave these individuals feeling isolated, betrayed, and miserable, further fueling their inner turmoil and sense of disillusionment with the world around them. However, this also serves to strengthen them. During the course of their lives, they will experience a series of external transformations that will change who they are. While their soft and innocent demeanor may still be present in some ways, there will be a new darker side to their nature. The inner transformations that Purva Bhadrapada natives undergo change them into stronger, more hardened versions of themselves. This alteration can manifest in tendencies towards violence, aggression, deceit, manipulation, etc., yet at the same time, it also equips them with the strength and capability to protect others when needed. As they navigate the complexities of life, they become formidable forces, possessing the resilience and detachment to confront challenges head-on along with the capacity to wield their strength for both good and evil.


Purva Bhadrapada natives exhibit a curious mix of flippanse and seriousness, often displaying a casual attitude towards many topics yet demonstrating am air of severe solemnity in regards to topics concerning philosophical and existential matters in particular. They possess a keen intellect of innovation and creativity, excelling in fields like science and research owing to their insatiable thirst for knowledge and a relentless pursuit of deeper truth. While they may have a religious inclination, their focus lies more on unraveling the essence of spirituality rather than adhering rigidly to dogma. As a result of their approach to religion, it can sometimes lead them to be critical of conventional religious practices, which rely heavily on rules and ritual. These natives disdain hypocrisy and superficiality, valuing authenticity and depth in both thought and action. However, despite their outward confidence, they often wrestle with inner self-doubt and a crippling fear of failure, which leaves little room for optimism when faced with setbacks. While they typically prefer solitude, they may inadvertently exploit relationships when seeking to escape the monotony of everyday life. They are driven by an innate desire to transcend mediocrity and be perceived as exceptional and unique. This drive for excellence and distinction stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and a fear of judgment, compelling them to constantly push the boundaries and strive for success through originality in all aspects of their lives. n personal relationships, Purva Bhadrapada natives may struggle to balance their need for independence with a desire for connection. Generally, in their interactions with others, Purva Bhadrapada natives are intense yet detached. Despite their desire for authenticity and closeness in relationships, they may struggle to express their true feelings openly, fearing rejection or misunderstanding. This internal conflict between their need for connection and their fear of vulnerability can create barriers to intimacy, causing them to retreat into solitude or self-imposed isolation. In addition, their critical nature and high standards can sometimes alienate others, as they can come across as overly judgmental or demanding. They do value depth and sincerity in relationships, but they also tend to push others away with their intensity. Despite this, they are often very empathic and understanding and can offer support to those they hold dear.

Before I get into the padas, I want to give some examples. I do not want to go into much detail or take up too much time with this, but given the very complicated nature of this nakshatra, I feel that it is necessary to provide media representations for people to look into if they are interested in knowing more about how it manifests: Martin Scorsese PB Moon and Andrew Garfield PB ASC (Silence Official Trailer (2016) - Paramount Pictures), Billie Eilish PB ASC (Billie Eilish - bury a friend (Official Music Video)), Jack Black PB Moon (School of Rock (2003) Trailer #1 Movieclips Classic Trailers), Dylan O'brien PB Moon (AMERICAN ASSASSIN - Official Trailer - HD (Dylan O'Brien, Michael Keaton), Logan-Marshall Green (Upgrade Trailer #1 (2018) Movieclips Trailers), Paul Walker PB Moon (Hours TRAILER (2013) - Paul Walker Movie HD), Bill Skarsgard PB Moon (The Crow - Official Trailer (2024) Bill Skarsgård, FKA twigs, Danny Huston), Olivia Wilde PB Sun (A VIGILANTE Official HD International Trailer Starring Olivia Wilde) & (The Lazarus Effect Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass Movie HD), John Stamos PB ASC (John Stamos Stars in "Secrets of Eden" Lifetime), Hozier PB Sun (the lyrics and imagery of this video are extremely Purva Bhadrapada) Hozier - Take Me To Church), Kaya Scoledario PB Sun (Spinning Out Official Trailer Netflix), Ryan Gosling PB ASC (THE FALL GUY Official Trailer 2 (Universal Studios) - HD), Camila Mendes PB Moon (Do Revenge Official Trailer Netflix), Bryan Cranston PB Sun (Breaking Bad Trailer), Sabrina Carpenter PB Moon and Milo Manheim PB Sun (Sabrina Carpenter - Feather (Official Video) Alexandra Daddario PB Sun (Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Trailer: Starring Alexandra Daddario AMC+), Jacob Elordi PB Moon (2 HEARTS Official Trailer (2020) Jacob Elordi, Tiera Skovbye), Tom Blyth PB Moon (Billy The Kid (EPIX 2022 Series) Official Trailer), Daniel Gillies PB Sun (COMING HOME IN THE DARK Trailer (2021) Daniel Gillies Suspense Thriller Movie), Matthew Gray Gubler PB Sun (KING KNIGHT Trailer (2022) Angela Sarafyan, Matthew Gray Gubler), Jon Hamm (Corner Office (2023) Official Trailer - Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Sarah Gadon), Rachel Weisz PB Sun + Moon and Sam Claflin PB Moon (MY COUSIN RACHEL Official Trailer FOX Searchlight), Chris Pine PB Moon (MY COUSIN RACHEL Official Trailer FOX Searchlight), Madison Beer PB Sun (Madison Beer - Make You Mine (Official Music Video), Sharon Stone PB Sun (Basic Instinct - Trailer (1080p)), and Michael Jackson PB Moon (Michael Jackson - Thriller (Official 4K Video).

Padas

(mostly for Moon) They all tend to be skinny to middle weight until they get older, where they either become more muscular or plump/curvy.

1st – The first pada of Purva Bhadrapada, falling in the Aries Navamsa, signifies a stage of primal energy and raw ambition. With Mars as their guiding force, they exhibit a relentless drive to achieve their goals, refusing to be deterred by obstacles or setbacks. However, being the initial pada of the nakshatra just leaving the stage of Shatabhisha, this quarter is the least spiritually developed. While they may possess great worldly ambition and the capacity for success, they may also be prone to ego-driven actions and an overly narrow focus on material pursuits. They can get into occultism or spirituality, but it is usually an attempt to further themselves in the material realm. Natives born under this pada possess a combative nature, always ready to engage in confrontations to defend their beliefs or assert their dominance. They tend to be more mentally aggressive than physically, but nonetheless their volatile temperament can lead to physical disputes as well when they are provoked enough. They know they can be very damaging when they lose control, so they will do everything in their power to prevent escalation. Ironically, this can make them seem passive. They typically exhibit anxious tendencies while attempting to conceal or downplay their feelings of worry. Natives of this pada are extremely passionate, but they have a tendency to constantly compare themselves to others, which ultimately can lead them to disregard their efforts to focus on surpassing someone else's. This propensity of theirs for aggression, envy, and competitiveness can strain relationships and hinder their personal growth, as they become consumed by their own desires for dominance and validation. They are usually medium tall with a wide forehead and low eyebrows.

2nd – The second pada of Purva Bhadrapada, ruled by Venus in the Taurus Navamsa, embodies a stage of sensual indulgence and creative expression. Individuals born under this pada are drawn to the occult and mysteries of the unseen, often delving into practices such as astrology and black magic. There is a bit of detachment from the mysticism of it at this stage though. They may prefer to look at it through a scientific or philosophical perspective as opposed to one that embraces faith in the divine. While their interest in these esoteric realms may lead to proficiency in such arts, it also heightens their propensity to lose track of their life's direction, becoming absorbed in the pursuit of hidden knowledge and power. Natives of this pada are characterized by their attractive physique, with beautiful broad teeth and strikingly captivating eyes that draw others to them. They possess an innate charm that makes them highly appealing to the opposite sex, and they are not hesitant to indulge in their darker desires and fantasies. Their creativity knows no bounds, as they constantly innovate and explore new avenues of expression. However, despite their magnetic allure and creative flair, individuals of this pada are prone to indulgence and excess, particularly when it comes to satisfying their sensual appetites. Their pursuit of pleasure and gratification can sometimes lead them astray, causing them to lose sight of their responsibilities and priorities. This stage of Purva Bhadrapada is more spiritually evolved than the prior, but it is still in the accumulation phase of Aquarius and the 11th house. Despite their outward charm, they may struggle to find stability and balance in their lives. They are prone to accidents.

3rd – The third pada of Purva Bhadrapada falls in the Gemini Navamsa and is ruled by Mercury. Natives born under this pada embody the mental side of Purva Bhadrapada, which is very focused on cultivating critical reasoning and gathering information, emphasizing communication, learning, and adaptability. Individuals born under this pada are intellectually inclined, constantly seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. They are playful and curious by nature, approaching life with a sense of wonder and exploration. Their energy is expressed through communication and expression, as they excel in articulating their thoughts and ideas. They have a natural gift for language and may find success in fields such as writing, teaching, or public speaking. Despite their playful demeanor, they are still very serious about their pursuits, driven by a deep-seated desire for personal growth and self-improvement. Natives of this pada tend to be peaceful and honorable, seeking harmony and balance in their interactions with others. However, their mercurial nature can sometimes manifest as manipulation or deceit, particularly when they perceive it necessary to achieve their goals. Nonetheless, they are skilled at navigating social situations and may possess a knack for making money through their cleverness and resourcefulness. In terms of appearance, individuals of this pada may have gaunt lower cheeks, high cheekbones, a narrow and defined jawline, and a medium stature. These physical characteristics complement their sharp wit and agile minds, making them engaging in social settings.

4th – The fourth pada of Purva Bhadrapada is ruled by the Moon in Cancer Navamsa. This is the most spiritually advanced of all the padas and tends to be among the most intense. At this stage, individuals born under this pada have either undergone profound inner transformation, shedding their attachment to worldly desires and material gains for the sake of aligning with the cosmic order, or they have fallen for the empty temptations of material life, leading them to a deeper state of moral decay. This pada in the sequence of this nakshatra symbolizes the finalization of death, and just like when we die, the impact of our lives can no longer be altered. You are called to surrender all you have acquired to the purifying flames of the spiritual fire, relinquishing personal benefit for the greater good, and if you fail, your soul will be lost to another cycle of rebirth. This represents the height of the nakshatra's power to manifest, it can come to be either an uplifting force for individuals and humanity as a whole, or as a potentially dangerous influence. Those born under this pada are deeply engaged in their own spiritual pursuits, usually guided by a sense of purpose and higher calling. They possess an innate magnetism and power that exerts influence over others and the world around them. Despite the intensity of their spiritual journey, individuals of this pada tend to enjoy good longevity and robust health, thanks to their deep connection with the cosmic energies. They are often perceived charismatic individuals, drawing others to them with their presence. However, their innate power comes with a responsibility to wield it wisely, as they hold the potential to bring about significant positive change or destruction, depending on how they choose to channel it.


Caste

Purva Bhadrapada belongs to the Brahmin or priestly/scholarly caste. This classification is based on the inherent qualities and tendencies of individuals born under this nakshatra, rather than their family lineage, as seen in contemporary caste systems. In Vedic astrology and Hindu tradition, each nakshatra is associated with as caste, thereby linking them to specific attributes, occupations, and societal roles. Brahmin is positioned as the highest caste and is given the most power and responsibility, both socially and spiritually. In classical texts, the Brahmin caste is exalted for its dedication to scholarship, spirituality, and moral rectitude. Brahmins are depicted as the keepers of sacred knowledge, entrusted with the preservation and dissemination of ancient scriptures and teachings. They are revered for their intellectual prowess, philosophical insights, and commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards. Brahmins are expected to lead lives of austerity, simplicity, and self-discipline, setting examples of virtue and righteousness for society. Additionally, they play important roles in leading religious rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices, acting as intermediaries between individuals and the divine. Their contributions also extend beyond religious and intellectual realms though, as they also provide guidance, counseling, and healing to individuals and communities. Overall, Brahmins are portrayed as paragons of virtue, wisdom, and enlightenment, embodying the highest ideals of human excellence and divine knowledge as described in classical texts, acting as oases of wisdom by guiding society not only in matters of spirituality but also in areas such as literature, philosophy, and science. Their primary occupations are mostly associated with administration of all sectors of society, teaching, healing, and providing spiritual guidance. Its intersection with Aquarius Rashi on the ecliptic plane may also relate it to Kshatriya and Shudra.
Gunas
The nakshatras each represent the different gunas at different levels of functioning. For this asterism, it might be confusing to find out that, despite all of its negative connotations, it is associated primarily with Sattva or purity/balance. This mainly stems from this Nakshatra's capacity for penance, spiritualism, and generosity. Overall, Purva Bhadrapada is associated with two levels of Sattva and one of Rajas. Sattva prevails at the physical and mental levels, while Rajas predominates at the spiritual level. At the physical level, individuals born under Purva Bhadrapada exhibit qualities of purity, harmony, and balance. They are often composed, grounded, and possess a sense of stability in their physical endeavors. Mentally, they tend to exhibit clarity, wisdom, and a penchant for introspection when they are only focused on engaging their rational mind. This can get muddy when they try to incorporate less tangible aspects into their thinking though. At the spiritual level, the influence of Rajas emerges, driving them towards spiritual growth and evolution but also threatening them with the struggle of inner turmoil. With Rajas at the most personal level of the spirit, this can cause a onstant seeking pf external validation and gratification, which leads to things such as constantly chasing after fleeting desires and pleasures from their lack of contentment. Additionally, the intense drive associated with Rajas may result in overexertion, burnout, and a disregard for self-care. It can lead to an inflated ego, arrogance, and a tendency towards manipulative or self-serving behavior. Therefore, while Rajas can propel individuals towards spiritual evolution, it also poses challenges that need to be navigated with mindfulness and self-awareness. Together with the heavy influence of Sattva, Rajas in this nakshatra creates a spiritual restlessness that works to propel these natives to actively engage in spiritual practices, seeking to transcend worldly limitations and attain spiritual liberation. It comes with risk, but this is a necessary trial.


Gana

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra falls under the category of Manushya Gana, or "human/mixed species." This designation speaks to the inherent qualities and tendencies of individuals born under this nakshatra, aligning them with human characteristics and behaviors. People belonging to the Manushya Gana Nakshatras, including Purva Bhadrapada, place value on their self-worth and esteem. They often enjoy good physical attributes and are blessed with fortune, leading comfortable lives. With warm and friendly personalities, they exhibit care and affection towards their family, friends, and loved ones, readily offering assistance to those in need. However, they also prioritize their own interests and benefits. They are known for their warm and caring nature, and while they may appear busy if approached, they are capable of balancing their personal and professional lives effectively. The path of those born under Manushya Gana nakshatras is undefined. They possess the potential to exhibit both positive and negative qualities, akin to the diverse nature of humanity itself. They have the potential to be even more evil than the Rakshas and even more good than the Devas. While some may lean towards acts of kindness and generosity, others may display tendencies that are less altruistic. This blend of qualities makes them a complex combination qualities you might see for the Deva and Rakshasa Ganas. Keep in mind that you should look at the dominant Gana in your chart to gain a better understanding of how this may apply to you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did. I will have to continue this in a third part because I'm out of room on this post. Afterwards, I will be starting on Shravana Nakshatra soon, and then later on Anuradha.

2024.05.16 11:38 trulyjustcurious_24 How to find work after job hopping?

I know it’s a long story but if anyone reads it all… may you be forever blessed 😭
26F in the US, working since 15, first in casual food service. Got into fine dining shortly after and by 21 had worked in 6+ restaurants. I was a job hopper, young and far too entitled. I saw early on that I was great at fine dining and restaurants are easy to move through. Then Covid hit and I was jobless.
The next 2.5 yrs I ran a cleaning LLC w/ my mom then got into office work. Even then I never stayed anywhere longer than 6-9 months. Most recently, I took a 9-5 office job in Dec. At the same time, my life started to fall apart. My live in boyfriend and I split a week before I started. February began an awful period of issues with my mom, who was on my lease at the time. Then I drained my savings for vet bills only to be told my cat has terminal kidney failure. March I was in the ER or doc 6x for a neck injury from ‘22. Finally, my boss got fed up mid April and let me go. The day before I signed a new lease to escape my mother.
It’s been a month, I’m behind on bills and in a deep depression. I also have diagnosed adhd/autism and lupus. Not excuses, just important factors. Ive got every gig app, dd/uber denied me for a speeding ticket 4yrs ago and flex/spark/shipt/etc are full. Only degree is high school. I’ve got 6yrs in restaurants, 6yrs clerical/business, 3yrs cleaning and 4yrs management within that.
I also stupidly let my brother edit my resume and it’s quite “enhanced” now. He took my 4 longest/best jobs, moved the dates and heavily padded the specifics... it’s a stretch.
If you managed to follow that insanity.. my main concerns are making my resume accurate but presentable, and any tips for where to go from here. Im open to more school but no idea what I’d do. Also not “above” any job. I need to make min $17.50/hr @ 40hrs. I’m committed to working hard but feel so lost and ashamed of my history. I know I can’t change the past but I can do better going forward.
My parents weren’t great examples of responsibility so I’m doing what I can to teach myself. I appreciate anyone’s empathy and guidance.

2024.05.16 11:38 inkyscrivenings More questions because I’m a dummy

So I haven’t been paying attention to the shop which is my mistake and my questions would’ve probably be answered if I did, but does anybody know how the “Just For You” section of the shop works? Does it take into consideration which heroes you play the most or your most viewed items? In the hero gallery there are some skins that have “Sometimes available in the shop” description, does that mean that those skins will possibly appear in the shop or in the Just For You section? For example I missed the release of Gentle Tokki Fuschia skin and I’d love to see it in the shop, is there any possibility that it will rotate at some point?

2024.05.16 11:38 Intelligent-Hall6730 What's your Hot take about Enstars Character?

I go first and no hate towards TsukasaP. Tsukasa had no Character development what so ever, every single Knights event he's in he always learned the same lesson in the end. then the next Event come up he does the same thing again Like what does the point of learning the same lesson if he always repeat his mistake? For example Leo want to do some stuff then Tsukasa doesn't agree, then Ritsu joined Leo plan then Tsukasa called both of them a traitor, then after Leo and Ritsu Plan works Tsukasa apologise to them for not trusting them, They accept his apology and Repeat See the point? I know this is probably a Bad take to some of you but honestly i don't care, cause i am sick of him repeating the same stuff every single event he's in

2024.05.16 11:34 GrizzlyT80 I don't agree with the statement "there is no perfect system"

I specify that when I use the word "perfect", I am aware that nothing can be perfect by definition, it is just to put it more simply, it means "the best possible system". And also that a belief does not imply a truth, this is all just my opinion, you have every right to disagree. And i'm not native so there may be strange formulas, sorry for that.
We can summarize the approach to the design of a role-playing game by a first choice, that of making a generic system, or that of making a specific one.
I agree that specific systems cannot be unilaterally perfect because they emphasize a particular context, with a particular way of playing, and with the objective of achieving something particular as well. Therefore a specific system can only be considered maximally perfect in its own frame of reference. Now we don't tend to compete with systems already established in a given framework: Honey Heist exists and it doesn't make anyone want to challenge its specific position: being a bear who is going to steal honey.
However, if we consider two choices to be made among: - Is your game realistic in its operation, or is it arcade? By arcade, I mean a simplified approach to the functioning of things, sometimes motivated by mathematical ease, speed of play, or any other argument which would tend to modify the natural behavior of things in real life for the benefit of a world easy to explain. - Is your game realistic in its environment, or is it fantastical? By fantastical I mean anything outside of the natural and scientific approach we have in real life, both fantasy and science fiction are involved here.
So we have several combinations: 1 - a realistic game both in its system and its environment: a simulation of real life 2 - a realistic game in its system but fantastic in its environment: a universe where supernatural things have a logical and rational basis, if we accept the bias that the supernatural exists, whether it is their behavior or their functioning 3 - an arcade game in its system, but realistic in the environment: a simulation of real life tolerant towards the players and the game master, arcade systems are ruleslite 4 - an arcade game in its system and fantastic in its environment: the most common approach, which ignores logic and reason in favor of ease of management and participation both for the game master and the players, i think DND falls in there as an instance
With these 4 approaches, we have reduced the overwhelming range of possibilities to 4.
I consider that for each of these 4 categories, it is possible to build a perfect generic system to run anything with relevance, consistency and a lot of fun. And I am convinced that it is possible to have a single system that covers these 4 categories at the same time, if it is built to be modular so that we can choose which of these 4 categories we want to run in our campaign, while potentially allowing you to change genre at the appropriate time, from fantasy to science fiction via dark fantasy and cyberpunk for example. And which will allow you to add or remove magic or any subsystems non needed at any time without problems, without an important loss in terms of fun. But to do this, to aim for this ideal, we need a generic, modular and devilishly well-thought-out system so that all the subsystems that allow its operation respond and correspond to each other, without being so deeply necessary that it cannot be withdrawed. The paradox, and the real difficulty here, is that this system must therefore make it possible to cut off part of it as desired, as well as to be able to add a new part, while maintaining strong coherence both in its operation and its general objective: to translate a reality, at least one, in its most relevant whole given the fact that it is a role-playing game.
The only bias i'm thinking of, is to choose wether it has sides tools to function, such as dices or cards or whatever. This is the only thing that is based on feelings in my opinion, but considering the fact that successful ttrpgs are all working with dices, i organised my thoughts around having dices in the system. Which type of dice (d4, d10, d20, d100 / pools or unique dice / numbers or symbols, etc...) doesn't matter here because it would be part of the modular system in which the mecanic around resolution could be swap to something else since the only things that matter is : success, partial success, failure or partial failure. Either it be the DMs deciding it based on their feelings, the dices or whatever you choose to know if you succeed or fail, it doesn't matter.
Modularity is the watchword here, because with modularity and the capacity to answer to any given situation that DMs have, there would be no dead end, no impossible setting nor playable things, may it be the player characters as original as they could be, or be it the setting in which they are playing.
Please note that this is just an opinion, please don't be offended if you disagree, this is simply the goal I have in mind as I design my own game, which evolves through this prism, this idea. What do you think?

2024.05.16 11:34 Wise-Outside1606 24F, never been in a good relationship, is this normal? current boyfriend M20 does things i feel weird about.

hi all, sorry this is so long. i, 24F, have been dating D, M20, long distance for 8 months. i've never been in a good relationship, and he knows that. he's only dated one other person not too seriously at 14, while i have three exes who were all terrible. i don't know if i'm letting my past affect my relationship or if some things he does aren't normal.
the first thing is that he's insanely clingy. before dating him, i considered myself clingy but he takes it to a new level. he wants to be on a call at all times, even while i'm at work or asleep. he gets upset when i say i don't feel like calling, and i feel like he guilts me unintentionally for not wanting to be on the phone with him for some reason. he's planning his entire life around me and it freaks me out because i'm not ready for things like marriage. in fact, me telling him idk how i feel about marriage as a concept made him upset.
secondly, he tends to make things about himself. even something that doesn't affect him at all, becomes about us instead of me. for example, my cat died recently. he was 14 and i'm still heavily affected by it. we were on the phone as my cat died in my arms, and he had to hear me sob inconsolably since i was unable to end the call before finding my cat unwell. D was calling my cat "our boy" despite knowing him for 3 weeks, while i got my cat 14 years ago and grew up with him. another example is me telling him my phone wasn't working properly, and his response was "i hope it doesn't break, we need that." it's my phone but we need it? the most recent instance of this was about a week ago, when he was visiting. we were watching tiktoks together and he saw one that he didn't like, and scrolled past the video himself and refused to even look at me until he physically couldn't avoid it (we got to the airport for him to leave). during the talk we had about it, he was hurt that i was mad at him because "we don't get mad at each other." even though he ignored me over a tiktok and refused to tell me what was wrong.
lastly, whenever there's a problem i end up consoling him even if it was him who hurt me. for example, we were staying in a hotel together once and upon returning from a night out, i accidentally slammed my finger in the window trying to close it. it really hurt and i was on the floor crying. all he did was get in bed. i cried alone, half under the hotel bed for at least an hour. i don't remember what made me get up, but once i got in bed too, he was upset that i didn't want to cuddle with him. i told him he left me alone and crying on the floor and we argued, me still crying and him starting to cry too. i consoled him because i'd never seen him cry before. slightly related, but on the rare occasions that he does try to console me, i feel like he talks to me like i'm a child. i moved to the couch one night because that man is a human space heater and i was overheating, and the way he talked to me made me feel so infantilized and like i can't do anything without talking to him or being right with him.
so in conclusion, am i crazy here?
TLDR: my boyfriend is overly clingy, makes things about himself, and i'm the one consoling him even when i did nothing wrong. is this normal?

2024.05.16 11:32 MaseMaster2K Unsure How to interpret Network Profiler

I am working on an online multiplayer game, and I recently started using the network profiler. I got the results as seen below...
https://imgur.com/a/Y0RMyT8
The only actors that should have ANY replication are the player control points, primarily through their replicated events (All of which have no more than 8 extra bytes of replicated data) and their presence at the start of a match. As such, I was surprised to see outgoing bandwidth size spike to 10000 bytes/s at times. Although the 1.6 kb/s seems low compared to epic's own example on the Unreal documentation, it's still odd.
This is the list of the Actors tab on the profiler...
https://imgur.com/a/sxGbIqY
I would just like to know how I should interpret these results and what I could maybe do to reduce it more if necessary.

2024.05.16 11:30 Judchrisus Could you please explain "posh names" and "chavvy names" to me? And could you please give examples for girls and for boys? Thank you.

Hi to all,
My partner and I are expats in London, we are Swiss German and Swiss Italian, and we are expecting twins, they will be our firsts... It's too early for the doctor to be sure about the genders, but he is confident at least one is a girl, so it will be either two girls or a girl and a boy.
We have been discussing names and we recalled a conversation we had with some British colleagues a few years back. The subject of names came up, and everyone contributed with names they like, and when we listed a few, one person said "Of course you like posh names!" and another added something about chavvy names not working for us. Then, the subject changed, it never came up again, and since we weren't looking to name anyone, we did not think about it until now.
I need your help navigating this posh names and chavvy names situation, because I don't think such a notion exists in Switzerland. Names are just names to me. I do know what a chav is, but I don't know anything about chavvy names. What are chavvy names? And what are posh names? Could you please give examples? And is it a bad thing to have a posh name?
We are not at all creative when it comes to naming, we don't feel the need to honour anyone, and we are not trying to give our children cute or cool names. The names we like have been in use since forever, are serious, formal, and mean business.

2024.05.16 11:30 VertigoRoll Is email confirmation enough for SOC investigations?

I've worked at multiple places and often times when there is suspicious activities e.g. a user was found download from multiple s3 buckets (which is more security intelligence) vs a user was found downloading pentest tools (more malicious), the SOC team just confirms it via email or teams/slack etc. is this enough? If I had compromise then user, i would just fake these messages. Ofc if the attacker could only access s3, these confirmation would help, but email/teams validation seems like it's not enough.
My question is when is it not enough, some examples would be great, and general thoughts.

2024.05.16 11:30 planb7615 People like Liz are the reason that restaurants don’t believe you when you say you have allergies.

Not just her. But as a person who used to work in restaurants and did not believe people who say they have allergies outside of the norm (nuts, berries, shellfish, celiac, etc) this is an example of why. I couldn’t help but be reminded of this when I saw her eating Chinese food.
A chef I worked with was told that a woman was allergic to fructose and was about to go talk to her about it to accommodate her needs and saw her drinking a glass of wine. He decided he didn’t need to talk with her after that.

🔥[FREE TRIAL] Most Reviewed and Successful Reddit Coaching Server JOIN Professional PG/CLOL Challenger Coach - 3,000+ Students Affordable Prices 🔥
Hey everyone, my name is Joon and I am a GrandmasteChallenger player on the NA server. I also achieved the Master rank in 100 games on the Korean server. I currently have 5 accounts in 5 roles in MasteGM Elo and I constantly play Solo Q to keep up with meta changes (No Season 3-High Elo-washed up player coaching here 😉). I am also a CLOL collegiate coach for Ryerson University-TMU and verified both on Pro Guides (https://www.proguides.com/coach/joon) and the League Coaching subreddit.
Why Choose Me?
More than anything I am very proud of the work and progress that I have achieved with all of my students over the course of years of coaching. I would encourage you, my potential new students, to have a look at the student progress page on my server, where many of my students post frequently showing the tremendous progress that they have made since they started coaching with me (https://discord.gg/SUrJuazdBz). My approach to each student is individual and I can quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses. Unlike many other coaches, my goal is not to push you to play my playstyle or my champions but to highlight YOUR strengths in your gameplay and minimize any weaknesses you might have.
Pricing
- Each coaching session takes 1 hour and costs $30 per session.
Do you offer bundles and plans?
- Absolutely, I include a FREE 1-HOUR session for a bundle of 5 sessions. (5 Hours + 1 Free)
Is there a trial session?
- Yes, a trial session lasts around 15 minutes, in which I will review and analyze your OP.GG and watch one of your recent VODs of choice. During the trial session, I will focus on the common fundamental mistakes that you often make as well as point out some windows of opportunities that you tend to miss.
Rank Proof
Unlike many other "High Elo" coaches out there with no proof or accounts dating back to Season 6 or other prehistoric times when the game was completely different, I grind Solo Q on multiple High Elo accounts and servers constantly while reaching top GM+ ranks on every lane from top to bot on different servers (NA, EUW, KR) every season. In the last 2 seasons, I have climbed to Grandmaster + in every role. Accounts are posted on my discord for proof with screenshots and have my students added on my accounts as they tend to refer to my games for their own improvement.

  • Ever wondered how Smurfs can 1v9 games in your elo? You will learn how to gain and how to push your advantages like a smurf focusing on resource accumulation and keeping your in-game tempo high and close-out games early as well as how to come back from unwinnable games.

2024.05.16 11:28 thspynxtdr Future with tragedeighs

I had a really random thought about tragedeighs that I thought I’d share
With a generation of tragedeighs is upcoming, they will soon enter all lines of work but some are inevitably harder to picture
Like remember the excitement of finding out your teachers first name in primary school, now imagine you find out their name is lemon or cozy or keighyleigh
Or a poor doctor having to introduce themselves as dr jennyither-ann smith or dr huntyrr wilson, for example
I know it’s often brought up in this group but the thought has really been nagging at me recently
What other lines of work do you think will have this same issue (all of the presumably)?
