I haven't had a crush on anyone in a very long time. Not since the "relationship" I had with this person 2+ years ago which started out feeling like the safest relationship I had ever been in, and ended in extreme and random p and s abuse. I had to undergo multiple types of intensive therapy with multiple specialists. I thought I would never be able to stop loving them despite the horrible situation. I moved away, got a restraining order, and got my own place and ever since have been working on my mental health a lot and doing much better overall.
The problem is, now I have a crush on someone who reminds me EXACTLY of them. Same hair color, eye color, LAUGH, zodiac sign, the similarities are overwhelming. The reason that it disturbs me so much is because I again feel like I will always be in love with my abuser. I am fine being alone and inside I know that I don't want to date this person, but I find myself compulsively flirting with them, getting butterflies, and even caught myself trying to buy them gifts on several occasions. This person is my best friend's roommate, so I see them a lot. The situation is giving me really bad flashbacks, and it is bringing back a lot of earlier trauma surrounding my father. I hate that I feel this way and that I want to be around them and I want them to like me. I try to tell myself all the reasons I shouldn't have a crush on them, but it isn't working. I'm even having dreams about being romantic with them. Has this happened to anyone? What did you do? I want it to stop.

Basically, this guy led me on for 9 months, claiming that he wanted to date me and be with me. fed me so many lies, slept with other people, lied to me about being exclusive, hid his Snapchat account for 5 months while claiming he doesn’t have one, was about to break up with me on Valentine’s Day, just all around an asshole and liar. Not to mention, he came inside me without my consent the first time we had sex after I told him I was saving that for my husband. and my lines of consent were blurred. All around, Asshole treated me like I wasn’t good enough; in fact, he made a comment about how he had a better head.
I can’t lie, I’ve done stuff in retaliation for everything he’s done. After finding out about the multiple women he was talking to, I went on a date and ended up falling in love. After about 3 weeks, the man I went on a date with asked me to be his girlfriend, and of course I said yes. I told my situational partner that this has to end between us because I now have a boyfriend and I’m no longer interested in playing this game with him. He freaks out, breaks all the stuff in his room, and begs, crying, for me to stay. crazy, right? I was under the impression that he didn’t care much about me. He starts spam calling me on different accounts, threatening to tell my boyfriend we were sleeping together up until we were official. telling me he’s always loved me and to leave my boyfriend. couple days past, and I think I finally got rid of him. He shows up to my house randomly with flowers (something he told me in the past he didn’t want to do for me), begging me to stay and telling me to leave my boyfriend again. embarrassing me in front of my family, which at this point knows I have a boyfriend.
I tell him what he wants to hear just to get him to leave my house, then when he gets home, I tell him to stop this, and next time he comes, I will tell my boyfriend to tell him to stop. He continues to send e-transfers, trying to contact me by calling on different numbers and harassing me. I've already told my boyfriend about everything, and he thinks I should call the police next time. I have no clue why he’s doing this. This is the same man who refused to unfollow girls or even get into a real relationship with me. Why is he freaking out and trying to ruin my relationship like this? I never expected this.

Welcome everyone! I'm a relatively new DM who has had some very brief experience running as a DM during my highschool years and have recently become engrossed back in the world of DnD. I have been experimenting over the past several months with running a game with some old friends and have been having a blast, due to the long gaps between sessions I am setting up a second campaign alongside my homebrew world of Altaria!
The game is going to a classic adventuring tale within the lands of Altaria, with a focus on political intrigue and consequences between kingdoms which can be influenced by the players and their actions. A focus will be on role play. I am continuously updating the lore of the world with new organisations and locations. For your commitment I will always try to create a handcrafted map or battlescene for the session.
I have 2 friends who are already keen to join and am looking for another maximum of 4 players to join along.
Session Outline - I plan on running a D&D campaign via a mix of Foundry VTT and discord. The sessions will run most likely every week, Due to my employment in emergency services my roster is constantly changing making setting a specific/regular session difficult and will require everyone to be slightly flexible. - I will try to have sessions set up every week most likely on Wednesdays or fridays, session start times ranging from ~1300-1700 AEST. Depending on everyone's availability. the Session length itself I am aiming for is ~4 hours with a break in between.

• I am planning on having this be a long-term campaign if you do not believe you can commit please reconsider applying
  
• New players are most certainly welcome! If you need I will help guide you both with setting up characters, teaching you rules and how to use the programs.
  

World Setting/Description
Discovering Altaria, a continent veiled in mystery and allure, marked a pivotal moment for explorers from the old world. Millennia ago, these adventurers first set foot in what is now known as Wavecrest, but it was the fertile expanses of the mainland that truly captivated their ambitions. Cities and towns emerged along bustling trade routes, flourishing rapidly and soon overshadowing the initial settlement on Wavecrest. The burgeoning civilizations reached heights of prosperity previously unimaginable, until the world was shaken by the "Great Evanescence." Communication with the old world abruptly ceased; ships that set sail to reconnect vanished into the void, sparking fears of a catastrophic demise of the old continent or the wrath of divine or malevolent forces.
In the ensuing chaos, the Eldorian Empire rose to prominence, leveraging its control over fertile lands and the allegiance of migrating nobles and craftsmen to establish a new order. This era of uneasy peace, upheld by Eldoria's military dominance, persisted for centuries. However, complacency and neglect, coupled with the earth-shattering discovery of a new mystical metal, Atherium in the Mountains of Last Ridge within the provence of Verdantia, set the stage for upheaval. This arcane material, promising wealth and power, ignited the flames of envy, particularly in the eyes of the waning Eldorian Empire main counties. The empire's attempts to monopolize Atherium sparked a fierce rebellion by the now new Kingdom of Verdantia, plunging the realm into a devastating conflict known as "The Great Sundering." The war raged, reshaping landscapes and redefining borders, with neither side securing a decisive victory.
The stalemate was broken only when the combined forces of Stoneshield, the Timorian Realm, and Wavecrest intervened, presenting an ultimatum that ultimately led to a grudging peace. In the treaty that followed, Eldoria relinquished control of the western territories, paving the way for the formation of the "Three Leagues," to manage distribution of Atherium through the continent, while Verdantia gained the right to retain control of Atherium production and retaining its new found sovereignty. Although peace has prevailed for five years, unease simmers as reports of raids along the kingdoms' borders escalate.
Amidst political tensions, the presence of magical and monstrous beings adds layers of complexity to the realm. While sightings are rare in civilized areas, the increasing frequency of such encounters has prompted many to form adventuring groups or guilds. Magic, revered for its power, remains an uncommon and dangerous art, commanding respect and fear in equal measure. Those who dare to underestimate its potency often face dire consequences.
In this intricate tapestry of alliances, rivalries, and arcane mysteries, Altaria stands as a realm teeming with potential adventures, challenges, and untold stories, waiting to be discovered by those brave enough to venture into its depths.
Rules - 18+ content is allowed within reason - Gore and NSWF are allowed. However, nothing extreme eg. sexual assault, extreme torture etc. - No PVP, Exceptions depend on the situation and both parties must consent. - Be respectful towards myself and other players, Try to be a team player, do not steal or ruin the game for everyone else (that includes fudging roles) - No meta-gaming, please try to put yourself into the mind of your character. try not to yell out at other players during their turn. - Let me know if there is an issue, dont let it brew. whether it be from something I'm doing, or if it is another player. This is a game where we are all trying to have fun and I will try to make it the best I can. - Ultimately the rules are up to my discretion, I may make a decision in a situation that is not strictly allowed for either comedic value or for the fun of the game (TLDR Rule of Cool) - Please try to show up on time for our sessions, I know life can get in the way. If something does occur or you have another event please let me know beforehand. if you frequently do not show or respond I will take it as a sign of your disinterest and remove you from the party. I will give you fair warning before this occurs. - Know your characters abilities and how they work, if you are new again I can run through it with you before the session. - DEATH RULES - I am going to take inspiration from Critical role regarding death rules, if a character dies there is going to be a chance that they stay dead. They are able to be revived however it will be both an expensive and laborious process with a chance of failure! (remember retreat is always an option!) - I will not be fudging roles, I believe that the game becomes much more enjoyable if there is a chance of failure, creating suspense and risk. - RP will be a key element of the game, however you can't justify a blatantly evil action as "its what my character would do" - Pay attention when playing, I am putting extensive effort into creating this world and game for you, this includes in combat try to have your turn prepared before it reaches you.
Applying Righto almost done with the wall of text :P, to apply I want you to send me a message of what intrigues you about the world and what type of character you would be interested in playing. I am looking mainly for interesting/detailed backstories of who and what your character aspires to be. Below I have provided links to the kingdom descriptions and world for you to read and get an idea of what is to come.

Be warned there is a massive text wall incoming. Feel free to dislike and move on.

Fists of Havoc

In my opinion, striker is the worst subclass in the game. If we start with PvE and supers we come across fists of havoc. The titan class is plagued with roaming supers so it gets a lot of competition. Obviously Bladefury is by far the best titan roaming super. But other supers (Glacial Quake, Hammer of Sol, and Burning Maul) all have excellent damage far exceeding that of fist of havoc. It is clunky and doesnt feel smooth to play. It doesnt really offer much and could use a rework.

Thundercrash

Thundercrash… Let me start by saying this is by far the riskiest one-off super in the game. It is meant to burst a boss, however bosses have plate mechanics that wont let you deal damage with the super. If it does let you then you better hope its an in-bounds boss so you can hit it. If it is you better hope that its not flying and you plummet to your death. If it is you better hope it wont kill you with a stomp when you get there. If it doesn’t you better hope that you dont loose too much dps on the travel to the boss, and back from the boss or blow yourself up if you try to dps while moving back to a well. If all that happens you have to pray that it has good hit detection as many bosses simply will slide you off them and cant be hit. And if the stars align and it hits… congratulations you just used your super, and your exotic slot (cuirass) and wasted a lot of time and stress to do the same damage as a base needlestorm in 8 times the duration. Good job buddy.

Knockout

For aspects we got knockout. Your standard light “unpowered melee is counted as powered” aspect, except that this one is outclasses by a fragment (spark of feedback) well at least it heals. No? That got removed? Alright well health restarts. Whats that? A single tick of burn got you stopping it? Well it provides a nice ability loop. Well that was before bungie took out the opportunity to refresh the buff. Currently it doesnt provide much. Wont even win you a fist fight in PvP.

Juggernaut

Next we got Juggernaut. It costs your class ability which is leagues better for survivability, even if you run thruster. It’s low health and directional and wont save you from much in PvE. Ok I suppose its a PvP aspect. Oh… the other two are better? Doesnt provide nearly as much as void for defense? Mm im sure it has some ability loops. Or not…

Touch of Thunder

The other two aspects are not what an aspect should provide. Touch of Thunder on the other hand is great. Unfortunately it only buffs 2 grenades; Pulse and Lightning. One for PvP and one for PvE. Storm grenade got gutted and the blind upgrade is borderline useless. Thats fine though because what it does for these grenades is great. The only complaint here is that it doesnt have exotic support. Every other class has a plethora of grenade exotics, but Titan is stuck with Ashen Wake, which seems to have a cult built around it but wont do much in high end content. The other option is hoil, but even with this exotic your ability uptime will be lower than that of Solar, Stasis, or Strand. Even void has volatile spam for the downtime.

Conclusion

Overall arc titan lacks resistance and sustain like the other arc subclasses, but also lacks any meaningful ability loop, supers, exotic support, or even basic aspects. It could use a touch up.

Alright, so after playing around 50 games on CoH3 with all 4 factions and all game modes, here's my verdict based on a comparison to CoH2:
Positive aspects of CoH3:

Visually pleasing graphics
More realistic squad size mostly
Qol improvements (auto reinforce, autovaulting, tank riding)
More units variety and a pleasing light vehicle play
In game currency easier to reach
Includes never seen before units
Every faction has access to an ambulance and can tow weapons and recrew on front

Now, what's to be improved by priority:
1)High priority:

The sound effects, has been said a lot but man...where to start ? Well first of all the units being attacked cues should be given priority over everything else, the problem is that the battles, especially team battles are a sound-fest, the "our point is being captured" shout gave me a serious headache (literally lol), it should be down toned or selective to only the points you personally defend, or you could have the player have the option to select which point he wishes to know about constantly. The voice line could be replace by a sound cue maybe. The explosions are loud but they don't seem really well made too.
The vehicles movement! Man.. the "you always have to press reverse command" thing just doesn't want to stick with me. Maybe it's a me thing, but come on, at least on short distances we should be able to move backwards without extra micro. It's just a habit from Coh2 maybe.
Certain call ins are waaaaaay too oppressive, so much they make the game end (yes I'm looking at you Carpet Bombing) they definitely need to be toned down, call ins are supposed to be a bonus to swing the pendulum of a balanced fight your way, not a goddamn supernova that falls on your army.
Balance and game flow : so much to say here it could warrant it's own post.

2)Low priority (opinion) : I'm not gonna pretend that my opinion here should be THE opinion, but I've noticed a few things :

indirect fire takes a lot of place in the game, which forces everyone to play it and get mobile infantry only besides the fact that mobile infantry is already more useful and powerful than line static infantry due to the fact it can push, decrew team weapons or force retreats more easily, the new high health based system of combat makes them not drop models when approaching enemy defensive troops in their cover. It is a bit too much.
Faction balance in the current meta forces players into repetitive play styles : USF ranger blobs, ukf double Australian triple infantry, Dak just stalls until their late game vehicle play and has to play like pussy, wehr just spams team weapons until they can unleash a mass of pz4 or panthers. It reminds me of the funny days of coh1 back when the series was trying to find its way, the lessons from CoH2 final patches should be duly copied, the str genre is a delicate flower to balance and find a consistent pleasure in each game without it being a chore or boring or frustratingly unfair, I rq'd two times already due to a ranger blob and a carpet bombing, while I never rq'd in Coh2 ever.

TL;DR : just read the damn thing come on.
Thanks.

Long story short, I am 29 years old. I have been involved in sports all my life, from a young age until I was 21-22, when I dropped out after five years of American football and became a couch potato. Seriously, I didn’t even walk until I turned 27. At that point, I had a serious talk with myself and decided to get back to the gym for real. I looked like crap, felt like crap, and lived like crap, so I decided to finally change it. Being a sports person, I knew that progress was going to be extremely slow, but I was determined to do it right.
When I went back to the gym, I felt extremely weak and could barely lift anything. I was doing bench presses with just the bar and two 5 kg weights, and I couldn't handle it. Four months in, with 4-5 workouts per week and a full-body split, I saw progress. I dedicated myself to learning from both science-based and non-science-based lifting. I studied a lot and came to understand my body and how to build muscle and strength, as I cared about both.
After the first four months, I made a personal oath to do five workouts per week, not drink alcohol, and stop smoking for a year. I did it, and let me tell you, progress was booming. I kept educating myself and learning more and more. After two years of working out, I grew bigger and extremely strong.
Now, I am here to ask the community of intermediate to advanced lifters for advice, as I have seriously hit plateaus on almost every exercise and lost about 15% of my strength on most lifts. My biggest strength is my lateral raise, doing 56 kg x 10 reps (28 kg per dumbbell). My deadlift max is 200 kg (with relatively poor form, but it was my goal since I started). My bench press max is around 140 kg (with a machine, not a barbell, as I simply can't stand it). My leg press max is around 280 kg x 8 reps.
I evolved my workout split to fit my personal goals and understanding of my body. I do a mixture of strength training (especially as the first exercise of every workout) and then focus on hypertrophy. Do not try to convince me that strength and hypertrophy do not work together, as I have personally tested doing them separately and found little to no difference, except probably at my current level of hitting plateaus where I need to concentrate on one or the other.
I eat really healthily, with a weekly cheat meal of a large pizza. Generally, I lift until past failure, as I feel like a wimp if I do not. I know it's not the best to always go to failure, and I am pretty sure I have hit overtraining.
This is my workout split, custom-made by me for me:

My question is simple: what do you fellow lifters recommend I do after losing power and strength? Keep in mind that I am also cutting extremely slowly, at about 1-2 kg per month.

My question is simple: what do you fellow lifters recommend I do after losing power and strength? Keep in mind that I am also cutting extremely slowly, at about 1-2 kg per month.

Jesus was confused with Satan by some cultures and even worshipped as such – despite the fact that he was considered a "good" Satan and a "positive" Devil that sided with the weak and vulnerable and betrayed the "powerful ones" in order to dedicate himself and his life completely to the poor. (Such notion is not alien at all even to the texts – because Jesus is expressly called the Morning Star in 2 Peter 1:19 and in Revelation 2:28).
This is apparent in the fact that the Hebrews for example did not recognize Christ as the Messiah and they even called him "evil" and applied to him the title "Satan" (from the Hebrew: "śāṭān" meaning: "adversary, enemy"). The definition of "evil" here is relative – because since Jesus went against the teachings that the Hebrews held as sacred and he also went against the teachings that the Muslims for example also regarded as sacred (and he went against many other cultures as well for that matter; because the figure of Jesus was pagan and it actually belonged worldwide to all cultures of the world and he was claimed to have opposed all of them trying to reform them) – he was thus called "evil" in relative terms by some of these cultures; meaning an "enemy" or "adversary" of those doctrines. Originally not even the Christians considered Christ as a positive figure; because Christ professed a lot of ideals that were inconceivable and impossible to apply according to the mentality of the powerful castes that rule society – like the priesthood for example; because Jesus claimed many times that the wealthy ones must renounce everything they have, they must give their money to the poor and then and only then – will they be allowed to follow Christ.
But the Church completely ignored and bypassed this teaching of Christ because they knew that if they had started preaching this to their believers; they would lose all believers in one second since no one wants to give up their house, their wealth and their life to follow the Church. So even the Church had to rearrange and modify a lot of the teachings of Christ while straight up censoring and ignoring others; in order to create a religion out of it. The only difference is that the Christian Church decided that it was worth investing their time and money in turning Jesus into the symbol of their faith and into a figure that would appeal to the masses (basically deifying him and using his name and memory to attract people into the religion) – while the other two religions (Judaism and Islam) completely disregarded Jesus altogether and considered him a madman instead and even went as far as to call him "evil" and a "Devil" precisely because he had preached such revolutionary notions that were just impossible to accept for the rich and wealthy. (Another reason for this is also because Judaism had a different idea of the Messiah altogether and they followed a different Messiah – and this other idea of the Messiah along with the other Messiah – were also very different from the "Jesus Christ" concept altogether – but that’s besides the point).
The symbology of the spring refers to the blood of Christ which gives life and makes vegetation grow on the earth much like the water of a spring; but it also holds literal meaning because the pagan figures who correspond to "Jesus" were all claimed to have met their demise or to have had a life-changing experience happen near a spring or near a water-source more generally speaking. Such is the case for Hermaphroditus who was rendered female by his union with Salmacis near a spring; or also the castration of one of the gods called "Uranus" – because according to Cicero in his "De Natura Deorum" there were multiple Uranuses and one of them was the "younger" one – and he’s the same who was said to have been castrated near a spring by Phoenician mythology. (The fact that Hermaphroditus was joined to Salmacis thus becoming definitively feminine near the waters of a spring – refers to the confusion that happened in the myth due to the nature of the two characters taken into analysis; because Hermaphroditus and Salmacis were actually brother and sister in other iterations of the story and they were claimed to have been conjoined thus essentially making up a single being who was a "man-woman" united. But then after their birth they were separated and their bodies were not conjoined anymore; although the male – in this case Hermaphroditus – was claimed to have been castrated in further iterations of the story so it looked as though he had returned to being a female and was thus "rejoined" to his female nature which is why the Greek myth confused it and claimed that Hermaphroditus lost his manhood but he lost it by being rejoined to his twin-sister Salmacis. In reality he was castrated near the waters of that spring – the "conjoined" part referring instead to the myth of their birth, but the two accounts were later confused and amalgamated into a single story for the Hermaphroditus myth; thus confusing also the timeline on when exactly was it that the two siblings were conjoined – whether it was at the beginning of their lives or at the end of it as in the case of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis).
The god Attar of the planet Venus was worshipped as "Atarsamain" (Attar of heaven) by the Arabs and equated with Allat i.e. Athena (a fact that has left academics dumbfounded even to this day as for how is it possible that a male god was completely equated and identified with a female one. But the answer is found in the mythology and themes of the god himself – where he was considered of androgynous nature and was claimed to have underwent castration which made him be perceived as a female by some cultures). He was furthermore equated with the goddess Anat in the form of "Ninurta" – because the Mesopotamian warrior-god Ninurta being equivalent to Attar (and Atarsamain) himself – he was directly equated with the Canaanite goddess "Anat" and the name of Anat was also written as "NIN.URTA" in cuneiform. There is an epithet of Anat which calls the deity: "the strength of life" and this particular epithet is applied to Ninurta continuously throughout Sumerian mythology because he’s consistently called the "strength of Enlil" – the "one with superior strength" – the "son in whose strength the father rejoices" – the one with the "strength of a lion" and Ninurta was also in charge of ditches and canals being the one who created the canal-system in Sumer and who was claimed to have brought to everyone the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as a result. The epithet of Anat – in this case referring to the male Anat who was though still worshipped as female regardless because the god possessed androgynous qualities (and not coincidentally the term "Nin" which comprises the name "Nin-urta" is actually more often than not utilized for female goddesses in Sumerian culture; for example "Ninhursag", "Ninisina", "Ninlil" etc. as it usually means "lady" – but in this case the word assumes a neutral meaning and its connotation is given by the context; so since the god is male it’s translated as "lord" – but the androgynous aspect of this deity is still kept intact nonetheless by using "Nin" instead of "En" ("En" being more traditionally used in Sumerian to mean "lord") – and the title thus refers for the concept of "the strength of life" to the strength of life as a life-giver; because Ninurta being associated with water and with the fertilizing effects of water having been the one who brought canals and ditches to Sumer; the meaning of the term thus acquired such connotation.
This deity is also always associated with physical beauty; for example in the case of Dumuzi (the Mesopotamian god of vegetation) who was called "the one with the beautiful eyes" and even in the form of "Ishtaran" (a form of Dumuzi worshipped as the "heavenly serpent") – where there are several references to his "beautiful face". This notion of beauty is once again reinforced and repeated for all other versions of this pagan god as he was called by many different names throughout cultures – for example also in the form of "Joseph" the biblical son of Jacob; who was claimed to be so beautiful that while a slave in Egypt the women could not resist him – or even in the form of Japheth the third son of Noah (who corresponds still to the same character) – where the word "Japheth" is connected to the root meaning "to be beautiful".
Thus the ideals of "strength and beauty" refer to him. (The pagan imagery of this god depicts him joyous and free as he dances through the flower-fields and while bringing the springing of vegetation to the seasons – often times represented with ears of corn or garlands adorning his head; as in the case of his Slavic counterpart "Potrimpo" for example).
Christ furthermore corresponds also to the pagan god Dionysus as mentioned in other posts; and Dionysus had a particular epithet in Rome which later ended up becoming his main name (or one of his many names alongside the more renown "Bacchus") and this particular title was that of "Liber" i.e. "the free one", one who embodies "freedom".
In form of "Ishtaran" Dumuzi was worshipped as "Anu" as well – since they called Ishtaran with the epithet "AN.GAL" i.e. "great Anu"; thus meaning that Dumuzi was so beloved and his cult had risen to such prominence at some point – that some local traditions (smaller ones) worshiped him as God the Creator himself and substituted him in place of Anu or at the very least differentiated him from the main "Anu" by calling him "AN.GAL" – "the great Anu" or "greater Anu". This is why Hermaphroditus/Jesus corresponds also in Phoenician mythology to the one "Uranus" who was said to have been castrated near a fountain-spring – Uranus being the Greek equivalent of the Sumerian "Anu" and this is why he was addressed with the name "Uranus" and worshipped as one of the "Uranuses" (the younger Uranus, because the older Uranus is instead the father of Cronus/Saturn and he’s a much older Uranus).
Given how Dumuzi was worshipped as the male Ishtar and as Attar in Canaanite lands (from whom the name "Ishtar" came from because the name of the goddess "Ishtar" is actually in the masculine gender and the goddess inherited that name from the male god who was called "Attar", "Ashtar" and "Ishtar" himself); one has to take into account that the male god was worshipped as androgynous though – which is why he was later equated with the female goddess Inanna in Mesopotamia and became indistinguishable from her to the point that she also came to be called Ishtar herself. The rosette is the symbol of Venus and of this male god of Venus who corresponds to Christ himself.
But at the same time the rosette is also the symbol of the female Venus as well and of the goddess Inanna (the female form of Ishtar) so the rosette refers to both Ishtars; the male and female one referring to the planet Venus in general.
Now, seeing as to how the figure of the "son of god" was worshipped as "the creator" himself by some more local cultures who idolized him to such degree that they ended up seeing him as the superior god over others – this explains one of the symbologies present on the modern representation of the apparent "pagan god" of the Templars; where he’s depicted with the head of a goat and the five pointed star facing downward. The five pointed star being a symbol of the divine – it represents through the symbology present on the idol the fact that the god in question is not the one who resides in the sky (in which case the five pointed star would have to be pointing upwards instead); but they worshipped on the other hand a creator who was "the creator on earth" thus being "the one below" – so their god was represented by the pointed star facing downwards. (This is for the representations that depict the idol with the star facing down; otherwise in other cases the star is absent altogether).
Now, according to the Atbash ciphering interpretation done on the name "Baphomet" which becomes: "Sophia" – if the interpretation is indeed correct (that Baphomet=Sophia) it would make total sense given how the name of Christ himself was actually "Sophia" and the why that is was explained in this previous post: https://www.reddit.com/EsotericOccult/s/P3ZkDJvXdM – where essentially there was talk on the Christ’s physical appearance and the fact that he was born with androgynous traits. This for example made it so that the character in question also displayed overly-sized pectorals that were rather exposed when compared to the rest of his body and were also rounded and protruding; sometimes even resembling female breasts (and that’s where the symbology of the rooster sticking its chest out and of Christ "with breasts" came from: – the rooster in the act of sticking its chest out: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/81/a6/a5/81a6a5da3c527f3ce0fe1648a7650001.jpg – and the depiction of Christ "with breasts" on the Notre-Dame church: https://gcm.rmnet.be/clients/rmnet/content/medias/christus_750.jpg). This (physical) androgynous nature of the "son of god" was then explained through metaphors and in spiritual terms by Christianity and Gnosticism with the fact that when Sophia incarnated she incarnated as "Jesus Christ".
But – there was also a female-incarnated Sophia; which incarnated as a woman and the figure in question is sometimes identified with the "Thetokos" i.e. "mother of god" Mary – or alternatively substituted by Mary Magdalene the consort of Jesus (being called the "Bride of Christ"). The fact that the Templars were claimed to have worshipped the prophetic head of a female alongside their god refers to the cult of the pagan goddess who corresponded to the Magdalene – where; she was claimed in pagan mythology to have been decapitated or to have been "half-decapitated" (her throat cut significantly to the point of almost detaching her head from her neck) and the goddess in question possessed oracular as well as prophetic gifts. The notion of Magdalene who corresponds to this pagan goddess was addressed in this previous post: https://www.reddit.com/EsotericOccult/s/iHlaRrZnzL. (The head that the Templars held was of course symbolic and not the literal real head. But what was important is what that symbol represented to them – rather than to whom the skull belonged because it was a simple human skull taken from a cadaver).
So essentially the Templars were worshipping both Christ and Magdalene through pagan imagery (Christ being "Sophia" himself and Magdalene being the "female Sophia" who’s the counterpart of the Messiah); something which was not acceptable to the Church – and also because they were worshipping Christ in his real nature as opposed to the heavily filtered and altered version that Christianity gave of him – thus opposing the "official" canon established by the Church altogether.

Long story short, I am 29 years old. I have been involved in sports all my life, from a young age until I was 21-22, when I dropped out after five years of American football and became a couch potato. Seriously, I didn’t even walk until I turned 27. At that point, I had a serious talk with myself and decided to get back to the gym for real. I looked like crap, felt like crap, and lived like crap, so I decided to finally change it. Being a sports person, I knew that progress was going to be extremely slow, but I was determined to do it right.
When I went back to the gym, I felt extremely weak and could barely lift anything. I was doing bench presses with just the bar and two 5 kg weights, and I couldn't handle it. Four months in, with 4-5 workouts per week and a full-body split, I saw progress. I dedicated myself to learning from both science-based and non-science-based lifting. I studied a lot and came to understand my body and how to build muscle and strength, as I cared about both.
After the first four months, I made a personal oath to do five workouts per week, not drink alcohol, and stop smoking for a year. I did it, and let me tell you, progress was booming. I kept educating myself and learning more and more. After two years of working out, I grew bigger and extremely strong.
Now, I am here to ask the community of intermediate to advanced lifters for advice, as I have seriously hit plateaus on almost every exercise and lost about 15% of my strength on most lifts. My biggest strength is my lateral raise, doing 56 kg x 10 reps (28 kg per dumbbell). My deadlift max is 200 kg (with relatively poor form, but it was my goal since I started). My bench press max is around 140 kg (with a machine, not a barbell, as I simply can't stand it). My leg press max is around 280 kg x 8 reps.
I evolved my workout split to fit my personal goals and understanding of my body. I do a mixture of strength training (especially as the first exercise of every workout) and then focus on hypertrophy. Do not try to convince me that strength and hypertrophy do not work together, as I have personally tested doing them separately and found little to no difference, except probably at my current level of hitting plateaus where I need to concentrate on one or the other.
I eat really healthily, with a weekly cheat meal of a large pizza. Generally, I lift until past failure, as I feel like a wimp if I do not. I know it's not the best to always go to failure, and I am pretty sure I have hit overtraining.
This is my workout split, custom-made by me for me:

My question is simple: what do you fellow lifters recommend I do after losing power and strength? Keep in mind that I am also cutting extremely slowly, at about 1-2 kg per month.

Hi, I (24F) live with my boyfriend (25M) and another friend (29F). We met at university and decided to get a place together. We used to live with another person but they moved back home and we had to give out their room to another person (23F).
The real issues started after they moved in for a couple of weeks. I share my bathroom with my boyfriend and this new person. New person would not help clean any part of flat at all. They would use the washroom and “forget” to flush. It is so unsanitary and disgusting that we have messaged in the common WhatsApp group 10+ times now, but nothing changes.
We have had to put a reminder sign in the bathroom just so they can remember to flush.
Apart from this, they cook and never clean after themselves on time. On average they take 7 days to clean any dirty utensils and will throw the leftover food in the dustbin. The house has started stinking due to the discarded food. They don’t even do the bins.
They have been living here for almost 3 months now and haven’t done any flat duties.
What should we do?
P.S- involving the landlord won’t help at all.

I am currently 18F, This is my first post because I just don't know what to do. I do not want or expect any sympathy or comfort. I just wanted to confess this to an unbiased audience as I have already told two people in my life (TW) sa, vomiting, general mental illness I wanted to confess to the horrible things I have done in my life. I don't know what to do. I am not seeking comfort or for anyone to excuse my actions. I've just been feeling like I'm suffocating recently. I'll start by saying what I did: I touched my sister inappropriately twice. When I was 9(we have a roughly 8 year age gap. I was exposed to child prn and animal prn multiple times. At the time I didn't understand how bad it was. I knew that prn was "for adults", but not that child and animal prn was a completely separate issue. At the time I also saw articles on m*sturbation and how girls can grind on things. Because of this, I copied what I saw and humped my sister in the hallway of our apartment(both fully clothed). I think I did it two or three times (always in the hallway and only for a few seconds). After that, I had stopped and forgot about it. I suddenly remembered what I did when I was 15. a little before this I had suddenly stated thinking I was a pedophile and attracted to my sister. these thoughts came out of nowhere and I didn't know what was wrong with me. When I remembered what I did when I was 9, I took it as proof that I was a pedophile who was going to one day sexually children. I panicked everyday, I constantly was "checking" to see if I found kids attractive. from then on I stayed away from all children, including my younger sister. She would sleep in my bed sometimes and I would help her shower, but at that point I didn't want to be anywhere near her. I would try to stop these thoughts by forcing myself to throw up while thinking of kids (not sexually l, just kids in general). I though it would train my mind to not see kids that way. I started looking up ways to see if you were a pedophile all the time, and I saw that the main difference was attraction and sexual arousal. Thus is where things get bad but I won't sugarcoat anything. I thought that if I "proved" I wasn't attracted to kids/my sister, I wouldn't be at risk of sexually harming her. So, I went I to our moms room(they were both there. They were awake, sitting up, and the lights were on. Thye both had blankets on their legs.This doesn't make things better but it adds detail). I placed two of my fingers on top of her groin(She had underwear on) for a moment(no more then 3 seconds not that it makes it better),pulled my hand away, and check to see of I felt attraction or if I felt grossed out. I did thus twice(same manner and setting). My sister didn't notice that I did anything, so she has no recollection of this happening(not sure how she didn't to be honest). At the time, for some reason, I didn't register what I did as sexual assault, I thought I was proving that I wouldn't one day do something horrible(I know now this was very counterintuitive). I truly did not think I was hurting her or being sexual/using her to get off and I was not my intent to hurt her or be perverted(once again, not looking for sympathy).I forgot I did this until about 5 months ago,and I had realized the severity of what I did and the harm I could have caused her. I have been extremely depressed with, suicidal thoughts since then(not that It's not deserved). some days I'm "okay" but other days I cannot eat, sleep, or go about my day with feeling sick. I am disgusted with myself. I can't be around my sister and am basically scared to be around her. My sister still likes me and wants to be around me, but im constantly thinking "what if you convince her to do sexual things l", "what if you got off to her", "what if your just in denial and do awful things". These thoughts terrify me. I love my sister, but I feel sick everytime I'm around her, and she doesn't understand why I don't want to be near her anymore. I told my mom and my grandmother, and neither were particularly enraged(neither brushed it off either, rightfully so). Though I do not deserve their love, I'm grateful they still accept me. I've never fantasized about children or got off to them and am disgusted at the idea of grooming a child and/or convincing them to do sexual acts, especially my sister,so I have no idea why I thought what I did was a logical course of action to take or why I felt the need to "test" or "prove" myself or why I kept/keep haveing debilitating anxieties and fears over being a pedophile. I don't know if my mom will let me go to therapy and my grandma does not want me to go to the police. I know it's selfish but I don't want to go to jail or register as a sex offender, even though I basically am one. I have asked the universe to give me any karma that I deserve or to curse me(it silly, I know. I don't know why I did that. I probably sounded insane). For now, whatever happens, I've put my fate in the hands of whoever has my soul. If I do go to jail,or have to register as a sex offender, I will accept that as my deserved punishment. My sister has autism and will need support for the rest of her life( now she is doing better than previously expected though). so I'll will try to support her the best I can(if she still wants me around later) and try to atone for what I have done. I know it doesn't mean much now, and I can't change the past, but I truly did not want or intend to hurt her. I also want to support my mother for being given a daughter like me That is everything. if you read to the end. thank you.

I was happily plugging away with ledger-cli for all of my deposit accounts, and everything was going really great. Then I started on my brokerage and retirement accounts and I'm in a bit my head. I'd appreciate a head-check here.
I am entering my opening balances (I'm starting with 2023) by recording entries in the format:

2022/12/31 * Assets:Roth IRA Assets:Roth IRA 642.42345 FOOBAR @ $8.17 Equity:Opening Balances 

I have a prices-db file with:

P 2022-12-30 00:00:00 FOOBAR $8.17 P 2023-01-31 00:00:00 FOOBAR $9.41 

The account is configured to reinvest dividends, which I am recording like this:

2023/01/27 * FOOBAR Dividend Assets:Roth IRA $160.61 Income:Dividend 2023/01/27 * FOOBAR Reinvest Assets:Roth IRA $-160.61 Assets:Roth IRA 17.10728 FOOBAR @ $9.388400728 

I'm exploring balance reports and want to make sure I'm doing this right:
When I run ledger bal -e 2023/02/01 two additional rows appear at the bottom of the output:

-------------------- $-160.61 17.10728 FOOBAR 

I more or less understand this. The negative balance is from Income:Dividend, and the positive balance is the change in value for the Assets:Roth IRA account. These two offset, but because they are different commodities, an exchange rate must be applied. This view is useful for comparing to account statements that show my positions. I can cross-reference the number of shares held to ensure I have everything correct.
When I run ledger bal -e 2023/02/01 --exchange '$' one additional row appears at the bottom of the output:

-------------------- $0.37 

This has to be due to the change in value of FOOBAR, but how do I know? Is there a way to tell ledger to enumerate the commodities associated with the change in value? I don't hold a ton of securities, but there are enough that I'd like to be able to break this out.
Lastly, I run ledger bal -e 2023/02/01 --exchange '$' --basis to compare the commodities in dollars at their cost basis so that I can be confident that everything balances. My accounts balance to zero as expected.
My plan is to update my prices-db file with entries at the end of each month. I don't need to track my portfolio daily, as I'm not trading. I would like to be able to generate monthly balance sheet reports though. Eventually I plan to compile these into trailing 12-month trended balance sheet reports.
Is this a sane approach? Am I setting myself up for pain? Part of me tells me I should just be recording account balances in $ based on quarterly statements, and not even bother with separate commodities. I lose monthly granularity this way though, which would be a bummer.

One day, my eyes were simply more sensitive than usual. Light hurts, and looking at anything bright was a little painful. That day, I had some Systane eye drops and thought it was the cause, but due to me using the drops again afterward and before and not getting the same results, I concluded that they didn't have much with this.
Fast-forward three days later and I started to notice some eye floaters. Searched them, became depressed for a while after I realized they're permanent, then they got a little worse, but then it stopped entirely.
That was too months ago, and I am still trying to get used to these pesky bastards, now, for the real reason I made this post:
After this, any light that is strong (Phones/computers with high brightness, car reflecting some light from the sun, projector light, etc) started to burn in my vision for quite period of time. I knew this. This isn't out of the ordinary, since as a kid, looking at the sun or the lamp for long enough of a period can leave those marks. But it was **never** for this long, and **never** while looking at everyday objects that emitted light.
Hell, I can see the lines of this post printed on my eyes when I close them, and this is while my laptop's brightness is at 75%
I would be in a bus, then look at a slight reflection of the sun reflecting from a moving car. It will arc as the car moves and leaves the arced burn on my vision. This will sometimes stay for as long as 30 to 40 seconds.
Before you can even think about it, I have already gone to a doctor. A private one with a degree from the *Great Britain.* He told me that "this is normal," and that "there is nothing wrong with your eyes." Yeah, Great Britain, my ass. I can clearly tell he isn't experienced with the subject of eye floaters and eye burns (don't know the medical name), and he's clearly trying not say, "I don't know."
My wallet is dry, doctors are expensive, and I can't gamble every day with some dipshit who can barely be called a doctor.
If you know anything about this subject, please do tell, as that would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Apologies for the lack of formality, lol

The next morning, Himiko was awakened by a delighted scream. She shot up in her bed and saw Tenko dancing around the room.
"Nyeh...Tenko? W-What's going on?" Himiko asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes.
"La-la-la-la-la-laaaaaa!!" Tenko sang. Then, she stopped at Himiko's bed and gripped Himiko's shoulders like a crazy person. "Himiko! I ate your Snoozydoodles right before bed, like you told me to, and I just had the most amazing dream!!"
"What was it about?" Himiko asked.
"There were no degenerate males in the world! And all the girls made me their queen!" Tenko sighed. "It was perfect utopia! A utopia...for girls! The sky was pastel pink! The clouds were extra puffy and white! The ocean was also pink and glittery, and all the food we ate was pink, like strawberry cake, strawberry ice cream, strawberry cupcakes, and strawberry milk! And girls of every shape, size, and color were everywhere! Not a degenerate male in sight!"
"Nyeh...a dream filled with just girls sounds like a nightmare," Himiko muttered. "Most problems I had with bullying was from catty, popular girls."
"W-What?! There's no way that's true, Himiko!" Tenko cried. "Maybe they were males in disguise!"
"No, I don't think so," Himiko shook her head. "Plus, a world with just girls is going to lead to extinction."
"Not in my dream!" Tenko exclaimed happily. "Girls were born from 'Girl Flowers!'"
"Nyeeeh...girl flowers? " Himiko asked, raising a brow.
"Yeah! You plant a pink seed into the ground, and when it grows, the petals open up and reveal a beautiful baby girl inside!" Tenko gushed. "It was so amazing! Girls, girls, girls everywhere!" Himiko wrinkled her nose.
"I bet it smelled like fish in that world," she muttered.
"Fish?! Why would it smell like-...oh! Hahahaha!" Tenko said. "No, no, Himiko! We didn't have to deal with that because there was need for it! All the girls came from 'Girl Flowers,' remember?"
"Oh...I guess that's true," Himiko replied, shaking her head at the absurdity. Suddenly, there was a knock at their door. Tenko went over to open it. Standing on the other side were Tsumugi, Angie, Maki, Miu, Gonta, Ryoma, and Kaito.
"Hey! What are you all doing here?!" Tenko demanded. "Especially you degenerates!" Ignoring Tenko, they all rushed right in and crowded around Himiko's bed. Himiko nervously pulled her blanket up to her face.
"Nyeh...c-can I help you guys?" she whimpered.
"I had the most wonderful dream because of your cookies, Himiko!" Angie chirped. "Everyone in the whole wide world became a follower of Atua, and was welcomed into his kingdom!"
"I had a dream that I finally went to space!" Kaito exclaimed. "And I became the world's best astronaut for discovering a lot of alien civilizations! Everyone voted for me to be president of Earth!"
"There's no way such a title exists," Maki said, shaking her head.
"Well, maybe not in real life, but that's how it was in my dream!" Kaito said. "But, anyways, what was your dream about, Maki Roll?" Everyone turned to Maki, curious to what kind of dream she had. She blushed.
"I'd...rather not talk about it," she grumbled. "It's too dumb."
"Just tell us already, Judge Moody!" Miu spat impatiently. Maki glared at her, then sighed.
"Fine..." she said. "I had a dream where I wasn't an orphan, and I had real, actual parents who loved me. And I was happy and nice to everyone, and I didn't have to worry about being an assassin and stealing peoples' lives." Everyone stared in stunned silence at her. Maki sighed gloomily. "See? I told you it was dumb."
"Geez, that's not dumb at all," Ryoma said. "Sounds similar to my dream, though, I would agree if you had said that wishing for it to happen would be dumb."
"What do you mean, Ryoma?" asked Tsumugi.
"It's pointless to dream or wish for something that will never come true," Ryoma explained. "Even though my dream was...surprisingly delightful, it also felt like a punch in the gut. Hmph...I don't know whether to call that dream a blessing, or a curse."
"What was your dream about?" Kaito asked.
"Well, I'll tell you, but it is depressing," Ryoma warned. "My girlfriend hadn't been killed, and I was back home with her and my cat. And I didn't even play tennis, I wasn't even an Ultimate student. I was a regular guy."
"That doesn't sound depressing at all!" Kaito said.
"But, the fact that it'll never come true is what makes it depressing," Ryoma said. "That's why I say, dreams like that are pointless. It's better to forget about the past and move on with your life"
"Bullshit!" Kaito exclaimed. "C'mon, man, stop whining about how depressing your life is! You say that wishing for the impossible is dumb and it was all in the past, or whatever, so why the hell are you still depressed? If you truly believed that you should move on, you should stop worryin' about the past and look to the future with bright hopes! That goes for you, too, Maki!"
"What? Why me?" Maki asked.
"It's true that you can't change the past, and maybe wishing for it to change is dumb," Kaito explained. "But, if you're still depressed about what happened in the past, it means you can't let go of what happened! You're not moving on! Moving on is accepting what happened, and doing whatever you can to make your life better! Instead of wishing to undo the past, wish for a brighter future! That goes for all of you!" The room fell silent as they stared at Kaito.
"So, anyway, my dream was about me actually becoming the characters that I cosplay!" Tsumugi said, breaking the silence.
"Hey! Don't just ignore my inspirational speech!" Kaito exclaimed angrily.
"It really wasn't all that inspiring," Tsumugi said, haughtily waving him off.
"Seriously! Nobody asked for your opinion, Mahatma Ghandeez Nuts!" Miu said to Kaito.
"W-What?! " Kaito exclaimed.
"Ha! In my dream, I was the world's best inventor!" Miu said grandly. "With my inventions, I was able to rid the world of starvation, war, violence, famine, and all that other bad shit! And everyone loved me! All the guys on the planet wanted to bang me, and my boobs grew a size bigger!"
"Um...can you not share your dreams?" Tsumugi said. "I feel like every time you speak, I want to do unspeakably horrible things to you."
"Shut the hell up, you four-eyed, lamebrain otaku! " Miu spat. "You're just jealous because you have two deflated balloons for chest!"
"Um...can Gonta share dream, now?" Gonta asked.
"Yes, Gonta, go ahead," Tsumugi replied, eager to not have to listen to Miu anymore.
"Gonta was king of bugs!" Gonta replied. "Everyone in world loved bugs, and loved King Gonta!"
"Tuh...that dream sounds stupid as shit!" Miu scoffed.
"Oh! G-Gonta sorry..." Gonta apologized with a hurt expression.
"You don't have to apologize to her, Gonta," Tsumugi said, glaring at Miu.
"You want someone to apologize to, apologize to all of us for wastin' our time!" Miu spat to Gonta.
"Hey! Cut it out, Miu! Stop yellin' at him!" Kaito yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do, Luke Skyfucker!" Miu shouted back.
"Stop callin' me names!" Kaito yelled back.
"H-Hey! Why everyone fighting?" Gonta asked. "Gonta not mean to start fight!"
"Leave it up to a degenerate male to start a fight!" Tenko growled, glaring at Gonta.
"If you guys don't stop fighting, Atua will unleash his holy wrath upon you all," Angie warned with a creepy grin.
"Nobody asked you, you kooky cult bitch!" Miu said, swatting at Angie. "All y'all are just jealous because my dream was better that yours!"
"Excuse me?!" Tsumugi cried.
"Yeah! Obviously mine was the best one!" Kaito exclaimed.
"You're plainly wrong! Mine was the best one!" Tsumugi said.
"No, it was mine!" Tenko shouted.
"Nuh-uuuhhhh...it was mi-iiiine," Angie said cheerfully.
"Um...Gonta thinks Gonta's was pretty good," Gonta said diplomatically.
"Sheesh...I can't believe everyone is getting so worked up over this," Ryoma said.
"Seriously. It's stupid to be fighting over something like this," Maki agreed.
"Well, I don't think it's stupid at all!" Tsumugi said.
"Yeah! In fact, I want another dream!" Miu said. Everyone turned to Himiko, who had been staring at them in horrified silence. "You better whip us up some more cookies, ya little midget, or else!"
"Well, um...you'll have to wait next weekend," Himiko replied in a small voice.
"I ain't waitin' that long!" Miu spat. "So, chop, chop! Get to makin' those damn cookies right now!"
"Nyeh, but...what about school?" Himiko asked.
"Himiko's right, we need to get ready for school," Maki said. But...I think I'd also like more of the cookies." Everyone turned to her in surprise.
"Wait...really, Maki?" Tsumugi asked.
"It was...a really good-tasting cookie...that's all," Maki mumbled, fiddling with one of her pigtails.
"Or is it because you liked your dream?" Angie teased. Maki frowned at her.
"Shut up," she said.
"I...agree with Maki," Ryoma said. "I want to see if I would have a different dream. One that's more...sensible."
"A dream that's...sensible? " Tsumugi repeated.
"Yeah...one that keeps me away from my past," Ryoma explained. "Do you think you can do that for me, Himiko?"
"Nyeh...okay," Himiko said. She knew exactly how to do just that.
Part Twelve
"What was all that ruckus about earlier, Monkey Buns?" Kokichi asked as he and Himiko walked together to school.
"Nyeh...just as I was hoping, my Snoozydoodles gave everyone dreams," Himiko replied. "But, when everyone that I gave them to was talking about their dreams, things got a little out of hand."
"Was that the effect of the magic?" Kokichi asked.
"Well, no...that was because Miu was being her usual, annoying self, and then Tsumugi said something, then Miu snapped back at her, then everything sorta erupted into chaos," Himiko explained.
"Didn't you say a while ago that the dream powder can be addictive?" Kokichi asked. Himiko sighed.
"Yeah...even small doses of the dream powder might cause someone to be addicted," she said. "But, it works really well, and that's why I wanted to put it in my cookies."
"Hmm...I hope you know what you're doing, Himiko," Kokichi said.
"Well...I have another idea where the dream powder might be not as addictive...but the effects will be just as good?" Himiko said with a bit of uncertainty. Then, she blushed. "I...used this method to dream about you before we started dating." Kokichi raised his eyebrows at her.
"Really?!" he exclaimed, grinning.
"Yeah...I had to steal your hair while you were asleep to do it, though," Himiko said quietly.
"Yeah, that's not creepy at all," Kokichi teased, wrapping his arm around Himiko's waist, and giving her a kiss on the cheek. A mischievous grin crossed his lips. "I wanna know what this other method is."
***
Friday night had arrived. Kokichi was with Himiko in her secret magic room. She was flipping through the spellbook titled, "Inside the Magical Mind." Himiko showed Kokichi the chapter "Build the Perfect Dream," specifically, the romance section.
"Nyeh...these are potions I used to have dreams about you," she explained to him, and pointed to the different dreams. "This is the 'sweet love dream' potion, the 'spicy love dream' potion, and the 'hot and steamy love dream' potion." Kokichi read the description of each dream, his impish grin growing larger across his face as he read.
"So, you drank all of those potions?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her.
"Well, one night, I drank the first one, then the next night, I drank the second," Himiko said. "I secretly gave the last one to Miu, because I was too scared to drink it myself."
"Ugh! You gave it to Miu?! " Kokichi exclaimed in disgust.

"Well...I-I'd feel dirty having the last dream!" Himiko stammered.
"Well, then, why'd you make that potion in the first place?" Kokichi asked.
"Because I was curious!" Himiko said. "But, then my curiosity was replaced by fear and feeling dirty, so I gave it to Miu. It's a good thing I did, too, because..."
"Cuz, why...?" Kokichi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because she was doing very...dirty things with you," Himiko replied. "Yeah...we were having our monthly slumber party, and in the middle of it all, Miu was dreaming and...nyeh...screaming."
"AAAUUUUGGHHHH!!! GROSS!!" Kokichi exclaimed, covering his ears. "I don't wanna do it with her!! "
"Well, she did say that you said that to her in her dream," Himiko said. "But, you only did it to get her to shut up because she kept begging you."
"Ew, I don't care," Kokichi muttered. "There's no excuse to condone bestiality." Himiko sighed and gave Kokichi a playful swat. Kokichi laughed, then eyed her flirtatiously. "Besides, my body only belongs to you...Himiko." Himiko blushed and lowered her head. Every time he said her name like that, it got her heart pumping like crazy. "My body...is your body." Kokichi lifted her chin to turn her head to him. "Mi cuerpo...es su cuerpo, y mi corazón...es su corazón."
"Ohhhh...Kokichiiii...!" Himiko gurgled with delight, biting her lip. She didn't know Spanish, but he made it sound so good. Kokichi leaned in to give her a passionate kiss.
"Okay, that's enough!" he said, stopping the kiss abruptly.
"W-What?! Wait! No! Moooore...!" Himiko pouted, tugging on Kokichi's sleeve. "I want mooore."
"Nuh-uh, Monkey Buns. Tomorrow is another cookie sale, so we can't get distracted right now. We gotta make these cookies like Hiro...baked! " Kokichi said.
"O-kaaaayyy..." Himiko pouted.
"M'kay, so how are gonna do this, HimiCocoa Bean?" Kokichi asked.
"Well...what genre of potion should I make?" Himiko asked. "There's comedy, action-adventure, romance, horror, fantasy, mystery, aaannnd...lots of other stuff."
"Comedy!" Kokichi said. "Everyone needs a good laugh!"
"Nyeh...okay," Himiko said, then turned to the comedy section of the chapter.
"So, you'll just pour whatever potion you make into the cookie batter, right? And mix it up?" Kokichi asked.
"Yup, that's right," Himiko nodded.
"Aaaalrighty, then! Welp, do your thang, babe!" Kokichi said, kissing Himiko's cheek. Himiko giggled and read the comedy section:
~COMEDY:~
Laughter is the best medicine, as they say! So, why not have it in your dreams? After all, there's nothing cuter than someone laughing in their sleep!

Boil water in small cauldron. Once water is boiled, add 1/2 cup of dream powder, 1 tsp of pepper for an extra kick, 1 tsp of cinnamon for an extra bite, 1 tsp of dragon spice for an extra punch, 3 petals of the Laffodil flower, and a 3/4 cup of sunlight for some lighthearted fun.

Mix contents until water becomes a different color. Pour contents into a potion bottle. Add sleep powder before consuming. Drink and enjoy!
"Nyeh...which one should I pick?" Himiko asked. Kokichi scanned the page.
"Hmm...why not all of them?" he suggested. "You can make three batches of cookies, and pour the different potions into each one! Actually, it's way more interesting that way, since people will get to randomly choose their comedy dream cookies!"
"I guess you're right," Himiko said. She got to work, whipping up all three potions. "Nyeh...all done!"
"Do you wanna go to D.I.C.E. headquarters and bake them there again?" Kokichi asked.
"Yeah, but...let's take the short way," Himiko said. "I'm already tired from making these potions." Before Kokichi could ask what she meant, Himiko snapped her fingers, and they magically appeared at the abandoned insane asylum serving as D.I.C.E. headquarters.

Following the previous post here’s a recap of the 3rd day from the 3rd week of the "World Wide League 07" project (full playlist of it can be found here).
Some notes:
You can find descriptions of each division as well as the teams participating in them on the Week 1 posts previously submitted in this subreddit.
Every time you see a team with their name in bold, it's a team of which every match will be recorded.
For ordering the leaderboard table, I simply use whatever the game displays (when there are full ties, it simply orders the teams at random) and then do some correlation since once the week of matches is done, the first match of the next week happens automatically offscreen.

Match 4: KVC Westerlo vs W. Burghausen

Now for a short description of the 8 recorded matches and their facts (stats and events):
Match 2: Zagłębie Lubin vs Bursaspor
1st half had a good save early on and a super silly goal just before half-time where the away keeper decided to go buy milk or something instead of defending his goal. The 2nd half was boring until the very last play of the match, where everything went from 0 to 1000 in an instant.

Match 3: Sturm Graz vs U.D. Vecindario

Match 4: Triestina vs Castellón
A match full of action throughout. The home team made their chances count and built a 3 goal lead by the early 2nd half, then the away team was constantly on the offensive but the home defenders did a superb job and no ball went in.

Match 9: Chonbuk Motors vs New England
A match packed with goals, the home team started strong getting a 2 goal-lead, and after their opponents scored they went for a 3rd goal. It seemed like a safe gap but the away team didn't give up and overcame it just in the nick of time.
