2024.05.16 17:58 BarnacleLanky Is Pirate Swarm nearly impossible for anyone else with the new patch?
Enemy AI feels way too strong to be pitted up against 5+ fighters. From what I’ve heard, CIG has updated AI behaviors to be more deadly and similar to player behaviors. I’ve been playing with the stock Gladius and Arrow.
Though you do get a couple friendly AI fighters, they don’t last long. Very quickly you find yourself surrounded by the 5+ fighters that never seem to miss their shots. In an Arrow or Gladius you or the AI could be pulling quick maneuvers and yet you’re getting hit with constant damage as if you weren’t even moving. They’re seemingly impossible to dodge and get a better position on.
Hull HP seems incredibly high too. The first Aurora in the swarm took ages to kill after shields went down.
My experience has a lot to do with skill issue. I’m not the best dog fighter but having done Pirate Swarm in 3.22 compared to now, I can’t seem to stand a chance. I do like a greater challenge but it feels as though the number of enemy AI, at least to start the match, should be reduced down from 5. I’m curious how everyone else’s experience is with Arena Commander in 3.23.

2024.05.16 17:58 The-Unseen-1 The awakening of the heart
 | Walking the Path together (Part 16)https://preview.redd.it/u6wtaco55t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f5cb1d2af03896dc80a1cef190995ff5ea73d66Part 16: The awakening of the heart . . As the Mysterious Stranger and the Seeker leave the old castle behind, they continue on the snow-covered path. A path appears on the right side, following parallel to their own. The two paths merge into one, which leads towards a volcano. As they progress, another parallel path from the left side merges as well with the current one. . In the distance, the Seeker spots a building, where the path tilts uphill. A sign points at a crossroad. An intersection, between realms. The crossroads, where all timelines meet up: Where the westward and the eastward paths meets the northern road. https://preview.redd.it/6mvg5my85t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f4819fab52baca96b2ae9dc79b5c1ccf9ea7dd9 Where the paths meet, stands a tavern. The lights are on. The chimney is smoking. A sign shows its name: 'The Red Ditch Inn' https://preview.redd.it/f9g0wmx95t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1648534743e52a83d24e137c6d88b57c24a89a1 . . “Wanna get something to drink,” asks the Stranger the Seeker. “Sure, why not,” accepts the Seeker. . . Before he opens the door knob, the Stranger hesitates and speaks to the Seeker: “This is the bar, where the timelines of our souls meet up. This is the crossing of our life-paths, the intersection of fate. Be prepared, for what happens next.” The Seeker and the Stranger walk into the building. As they open the door, they are started by the loud conversations. The inn is full. Many tables with different animals of all species. . . The table in the center of the bar, has a label saying: 'Spirituality' Around that table sit all kinds of different birds and animals. Pigeons, squirrels, Reptiles, cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, crows, mice, sloths. They are mostly talking about crystals and past lives. https://preview.redd.it/y8fnhq406t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c646cb09f82c0fccb5dbc52b0516ad04c3959bd . . There was a table, which said: 'astralprojection'. There sat an old bear, who carries many scars, wounded by countless battles, teaching young bear cups, who attentively listen to their elders. Some are making notes. https://preview.redd.it/u39auly16t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a12d3b6456683101a8c19b70ed5b533886db56e Next to it, is a table with a label saying: 'Enlightenment' There sit some parrots all repeating the same mantra in unison: “BEFORE ENLIGHTENMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER, AFTER ENLIGHTENMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER.” https://preview.redd.it/446l8xo46t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9845893e91cb4f74ff0a7cd322d12fe5b90162d4 . . There is another table, called: 'Awakened' There sit a caterpillar, a spider, a scorpion and an eagle. “You have an Ego,” shouts the caterpillar at the spider, pointing his finger. “No, you have an Ego,” shouts the spider back at the caterpillar. “You both have an Ego,” accuses the scorpion both the caterpillar and the spider. “Hey,” shouts the bird. “I am the eagle here!” https://preview.redd.it/h7lqop986t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1918922e7e405c0101c29dadd36921bc2aa8d9e . . Next to it, is the table of 'nonduality'. The chairs are completely empty. There is no one here. https://preview.redd.it/m6g30mv96t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62fc58adf8f16905982b6b082f352e62f0b9bd93 . . On the other side there is another table with many different birds and mammals, some more exotic animals from all around the world. The label says 'Soulnexus'. There is someone constantly screaming at the top of their lungs: “I AM A PROFFESIONAL PSYCHIC READER WITH 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!” https://preview.redd.it/ua8so87d6t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3934b0f88aeb2ed43206eb782083978beb83c93d . . One table next to it is called 'starseeds'. The people sitting there do not look like animals, but like strange aliens. Some small and green beings, others big and gray, some with fur, some with scales, some humanoid. They were mostly talking about the past, exchanging some old memories. Among them is a chicken, who wears an alien costume. . As one of the Grey beings stands up to go to the toilet, the chicken whispers to the others: “Psst guys, I think Fred may not be an actual Starseed.” https://preview.redd.it/yf5mxkin6t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5cd079ef9a9717d77077bc10fae0086c87ba446 The other beings around the table start mumbling. https://preview.redd.it/mpr2xh9o6t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f84d4bbe5d838ce742b7d76ca16986f07f61a19 . . There is one more table called 'psychonauts'. The Stranger walks towards their table. “Jo, wazzup Shawty,” greets the Stranger an old friend at the psychonaut-table, with a fist bump. “Long time no see.” . “Whoa, it's YOU,” responds the Tiger at the table, with red eyes, smoking his bong. “Last time I've seen you, I was like in DMT realm.” . “Is Burt anywhere around?” asks the Stranger. . . “He is sitting there in the corner,” responds Shawty. The tiger points at a traumatized racoon sitting in the dark corner. “I have seen too much,” mumbles the Burt the Racoon with eyes wide open, like a scratched record. “I have traveled too far... I have seen, what lies within the emptiness. Never again... I will never do shrooms again...” . . Suddenly the waiter taps the racoons shoulder, ripping him out of his thought loop. “Sir... Do you wanna order anything?” . “Do you have McKennaii?” “Yes,” responds the waiter. “Then I'll have 7 grams,” orders the racoon. https://preview.redd.it/cby20wa67t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5822fdf6571cb03e2137629ac88f258294c0d59f . . The Seeker has a sudden thought and looks at the Stranger. “What does the ' slash' on the tables, stand for?” . “I don't know...,” shrugs the Stranger. “ It's probably to reserve the table at this inn.” . . . The Stranger looks at all the tables, they are all talking and talking. Some are playing poker, others are playing dart, some drunks fight each other. Others talk about their identity or their favorite dogma. Some are showing off, how enlightened they are. As they stand at the crossroads, they can either go Westwards, Eastwards and Northwards. Many have taken the western route, many have went eastwards, but they always ended back at the 'Red Ditch Inn' again. The newbies, were unsure, whether to go west or east. The experienced ones, knew it doesn't make a difference, they would end up at the bar again anyway. Some were stuck in the bar since many decades, they had given up hope to ever find a way out. But few of them ever dared to walk northwards. https://preview.redd.it/xnc7yukk7t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3bf81669e821e6674aa1d5b0dc6f9484dcd63c03 The Stranger sighs, as he looks around. His eyes flame up, he inhales deeply and climbs on a chair. With a raised voice he speaks: . . . . “When did we lose our heart? We lost our heart collectively. Did we lose it, when we were still cavemen? When we had to survive the cold winters of the ice age? When we hunted down the last Homo Neanderthalensis? Or later on, when the first tribes waged war against each other? Did we lose our heart, when we enslaved each other? Did we lose our hearts, when we dropped atom bombs, or when we caused our first mass extinctions...The crimes, that Humans do in wars... All of us carry the sins of our forefathers on our shoulders. . . We lost our hearts individually. For the person it starts pretty early in their childhood. We lose our trust, when we are lied to. Almost everyone tastes the pain of Betrayal at least once in life. We are deeply wounded from childhood on. We learn early on, that humans hurt us and thus we become suspicious of humans. We learn not to trust each other. Because we are afraid of being hurt again. And so we close off our heart to protect it. . . What is the heart? I am not talking about the physical organ. I talk about this part in your 'soul', if I may call it that. It's like the core of our 'soul', of our 'astral body'. The centre of our 'energy' or chakras. We are afraid to open it, because it's very vulnerable. That's why we protect it. We are afraid to open it, because we don't trust each other. But unless your heart is open, you can never experience unconditional love. Its flame must be activated. The heart is your connection to everything. The heart is what connects you to 'source', if that's the word, you'd like to use. The heart is from where our love flows. We have cut off the connection and became separated from the ALL. We made love conditional. We split hating from loving, dislike from like and created duality. We became attached. We let ourselves be corrupted by the Ego. Now that we have closed the heart, what have we done to the world? . . We turned the world into a place, that almost no one likes. We created a society, that keeps us in narrow boxes. We made the world a lonely place, for everyone to be in. Even in groups, we often feel lonely. We allowed money to rule over us. We allowed ideologies to split us and dogmas to control us. We have so many different issues, that we just can't seem to overcome. Climate change. Wars. Corrupt politicians. Poverty. Starvation. Meaninglessness. Nihilism. Where should we start with all that mess? . . With ourselves. That is the place, where the transformation needs to start. We need to evolve. One person at a time. Only then, can the collective transform as well. We need to open the mind and the heart. To see and to feel. To be aware and to love. We need to find harmony within ourselves. End the inner conflict and find peace within. Find your own truest path. Let go of any limiting beliefs. Let go of any attachments. Forgive whoever needs forgiveness and apologize to clear your regrets. Find Love. Find your light within. See your light in all people. Love your enemies. Recognize the Ego, be aware of what makes it grow. Become aware of any negative thought patterns. Be disciplined. Clear your own shadows. Face your Trauma. Heal your inner child. Get free from all bodily addictions. Be free of fear. Be free of suffering. See the beauty of all things. Find joy in every moment. Surrender yourself. Follow the heart. Be proud and courageous. Accept your life and your story. Embrace your story, without being attached to it. Find your purpose. End the Seeking. Be your authentic Self. Express Love through your character. Become Love. . . . This is a possible path. And I just gave you the map. It can be walked. It was walked before. But it is a path into unknown territory. Only the bravest of you can walk this path. It's not for the faintest of heart. You see, you all either follow the path of the left and go westwards or you follow the path on the right and go eastwards... But no matter how far you go, you'll always end up at the crossroads again. You never make any real progress. What if there is another path? What if there's another way? What if I say, 'let us go north?!'” . . . Some of the crowd are in shock. Some are laughing. Others are mumbling. “You can't walk north,” says a crow from the projectors. “It's impossible.” “Everyone knows, that the northern road is a dead-end,” says an awakened Caterpillar. “It's a waste of time going up there. You can't go further, than the volcano.” https://preview.redd.it/r40gfkx28t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f2431635af381f0a9bee525d4e661ce6e45a0b9 A psychonaut horse laughs. “That will be fun. Can't wait to see their disappointed faces, when they walk all the way back down.” . . . . . The Stranger continues undeterred: . “Why are you walking the spiritual path? You felt called to do it, didn't you? You felt something within you. Something made click. You understood, that there is a deeper truth, that you must find. There was this deep longing within you. So you started walking. What were the first things, that you were seeking? You were seeking answers. What were your first questions? You were asking, 'What is my purpose?' You were asking 'Why am I here'? And you have searched in so many places. But no matter which answer you got, you were never fully satisfied. Because it wasn't your answer. Because it was someone else's answer. So you stopped seeking. Either you were content with some unfulfilling answers or you just simply gave up. When did you stop finding your own answers? Dogma or tradition give us easy answers. When we are attached to them, when we build an identity around them, we become unable to find our own answers. But you can't end Seeking with someone elses answers. Only when you have claimed the answer for yourself, can the Seeker transform into something different. Into something new. Just ending the Seeker, like cutting off a limb, won't do it. The Seeker needs to find their answer to the question 'What is my purpose?' Not one, they read from textbooks. Not an answer, that someone else can give them. When ONE has found their own unique purpose in life, then instead of 'seeking', there is only 'expressing'.” . . . “I see that you are advanced,” speaks an enlightened owl. “However you are blinded by idealism. When you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss will stare back at you.” https://preview.redd.it/tyhax8ca8t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11df4212c1a8ea72fa5d000234c33710bffc7c3c “My friend,” says the Stranger. “I have not only stared into the abyss, I went to hell and back again to find my answer.” . . . Everyone falls silent, the Stranger continues: “It was always here on earth. Heaven. It was always within us. Take a look around you. There is beauty in all things. If you search for it, you can find joy in every moment. Look for love in the world and you shall find love everywhere. Meet Life with gratitude and wonder. Face your experience, like an adventurer faces his challenge. Express unconditional love through your very being. Because this is how we heal Humanities greatest wound: The scar of nihilism. It has all become so meaningless to us, hasn't it? Memorizing knowledge at school or college, that you'll never need in real life. This feeling of being stuck in life. Day to day, going to a dead-end job for minimum wage. Living an unfulfilled life. The shattering of broken dreams. The tears of our suffering. You know, why everything has become so meaningless? We let our hearts get cold. After falling, we stopped getting back up again. We stopped facing our challenges. You see, after every defeat, Humanity always got back up again. No matter how tough the challenge may seemed, Humanity never gave up. We have forgotten, who we are. All of us are Humanity. You, Me, everyone. We are all humanity. You, the individual human are HUMANITY. You are the Rest of mankind. Because we are all the same in our essence. When you open your heart, then this is your name: 'HUMANITY' Because you see yourself in every other human. This is the name of the divine spark that sits within all of us. It is the fire, that burns in our eyes. This is Humanity: An archetype of victory and an idea of unity. Let me ask you a very direct question. If we all came together to do our part, do you think that we could actually clean up the mess we have created? Do you think we have a chance of not only to survive but even to evolve as a species? And perhaps write even greater stories, than ever before?” . . . . . The entire crowd is silent. Most of them avoid eye contact. People start mumbling. Then the crowd slowly gets louder again and the conversations on each table, continue as if nothing ever happened. As the Stranger steps down from the chair, a monkey gets up from one of the tables, points his finger and screams: “Look guys, this dude has ketchup on his outfit.” . . While the crowd laughs at him, the Stranger goes to the bar and orders two beer. While he waits, he rubs off the ketchup stain from his clothes with his fingernails. People are looking at him and the Seeker. The Seeker can't bear standing next to the Stranger and leaves the tavern. The Stranger pays for two beers. 140 Pesos. He then follows the Seeker outside. https://preview.redd.it/7ph64bps8t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2492025ebf3dd76f7fce33da83fefe761f4deca “Wanna go already?” asks the Stranger while sipping from his beer. “Those guys hate you now,” sighs the Seeker. “Who cares?” shrugs the Stranger, while gulping down the beer in a single go. . . . A couple of animals exit the bar. All the animals, that had no place to fit in. All the animals that didn't belong. A rabbit, a cat, a goldfish, a squirrel, a bear, a fox, a goat, a pigeon, an eagle, a chicken in an alien costume and a dog. . “I will also follow my destiny,” speaks the eagle with determination. His heart is also activated. . https://preview.redd.it/7lcknwky8t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fc53b343d407311dd59f50cb23c910754a357ff . “Alright,” says a bear with burning eyes. “Let's try going north... Perhaps this is how we'll finally get to Axis Mundi.” . “Going north... that sounds fun,” says the smiling fox. “Let's see how far, we'll come.” https://preview.redd.it/pxzr6rr39t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=508c5a3cb8dbb8ad29887001e9f986ea52d509cd . “We are all gonna die anyway,” sighs the pessimistic goat. . “I never tried going north before,” contemplates the curious pigeon. . “10 bucks, that I am first at the top of the volcano,” bets the black cat, while looking at her claws. . “Deal,” agrees the dog, while hunting his own tail. . The rabbit thinks about the taste of carrots. She is hungry. . The squirrel is simply happy and excited for the new adventure. She can't stop dancing. . The goldfish has no idea, what he's actually doing. He just rolls around in a plastic bag. https://preview.redd.it/z0u1b1de9t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efc55fa42a8393145afc72cf7fcb2717c949d9f5 “I... I will also walk my path,” speaks up the brave chicken in an alien costume. For the first time, the chickens eyes start burning. . . . Together, the new group of friends are traveling the northern road. Towards the volcano. As the sunset illuminates their backs, the animals start singing a new song. A song of excitement, of wonder and of bravery. A song, that goes something like: “We have found a way.” https://preview.redd.it/y2z4ctni9t0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc9d65d8b99cb576034852f18251b216720690ed . . .

2024.05.16 17:57 spunkysquirrel1 Please don't vote for Councilman Phillip Baker in District 6
I have no affiliation with any campaign. I do a lot of community work and I know a lot of people who do a lot of community work. Councilman Baker has not represented us well at all. I think everyone in the know realizes this.
And if he's not showing up now why will he once he's actually elected to a full four year term and doesn’t have another election around the corner? He is frequently absent from the events. He sometime sends his legislative assistant in his place, who many find very condescending and rude. He actually had his taxpayer funded assistant represent him at a political debate, which I still think is sketchy AF. He cancelled another debate because of the weather, announcing it as the debate was already ready to take place. Yeah, the weather...
He doesn't respond to constituent correspondence and when he does he gives non answers in my opinion.
Voting wise he has been basically a rubber stamp for Greenberg. Which makes sense, he's always going to be an establishment office holder as he was appointed to this position by the establishment. This is his first time before the voters in a primary (which is the real race in this district). Another annoying thing is that he used Neighborhood Development Funds for police overtime, which should not be allowed. There are so many better uses than giving the already overfunded cops even more cash.
If you have viewed his digital ads they are being paid for by developers and were created by a Republican firm based in Florida. Wonder why they are so interested in our councilman?
It's only been a year but I'm sick of having an absentee councilperson. It's such an important position in the community and we are at a disadvantage having him as our representative. There are two great candidates running against him. I'm not advocating for either in particular but I do implore those reading to not support Phillip Baker just because he's the "incumbent"

2024.05.16 17:57 Intelligent_Fruit429 The Brooke/Paige/Tana lore
Before I say my opinion lemme just say this is MY OPINION. A lot of people are on here writing “stop hating” when this Reddit is literally for sharing opinions and thoughts. Everyone has a right to an opinion and free speech so go off on anything you want!
I dont know about Paige replacing Brooke but Paige coming on the podcast opened my eyes a bit seeing someone reply to Tana without being judgemental/mean. Like it or not, Brooke is a mean girl. You can choose to like that about her and some people might even want to be friends with her and that’s great. I just think that the mean energy is not reciprocated by Tana at all and it looks like bullying. I’ve never heard Tana make fun of Brooke’s makeup/outfit/decisions. Brooke makes fun of Tana so much it’s 50% of her personality on the pod.
Every time Brooke shares something about her life Tana always hypes her up with the “go off, you do you” like a fully supportive great friend.
The interrupting/criticism/wanting her to stop being sober. I dont know these people personally but from what we see on the podcast, Brooke seems like she has the worst intentions for Tana. From what she puts out there, she cares about fame/brand deals/ being brand friendly and it’s a bit much. Chase your bag ofcourse! But don’t chase your bag by making fun of your friends and acting superior. Especially if that’s the friend that gave you your career and supports everything you do.
I’m all for being brand safe and chasing that bag. BUT your job is to be unhinged and entertaining on a podcast. That podcast is called cancelled for a reason, it’s just not centred around being brand safe and wanting a YSL brand deal like Brooke does. If you want a brand safe job maybe don’t be on “CANCELLED”
Fact is some people can handle fame. People who handle fame don’t let it change them. Truly it’s unhinged people like Tana that handle fame, it just really got to Brooke and her personality is either different or we see a side of her that always existed but we’ve never seen.
AGAIN. If the making fun/bullying was reciprocated I’d be like “yea that’s just their friend dynamic it’s funny” but it’s just one sided bullying so it’s giving red flag. It’s even worse how Brooke makes fun of Tana even more when there are guests on the pod.
Fame is so hard and I’m sure it would have its effects on any of us, maybe Brooke just has to evaluate what it’s turning her into? She said she might go back to therapy and maybe that would help.
I dont know I just know Tana has such a huge fanbase and she is so kind and treats all her friends like family that she gives them their careers and income, but fake isn’t for everyone and that’s ok!

I dont know about Paige replacing Brooke but Paige coming on the podcast opened my eyes a bit seeing someone reply to Tana without being judgemental/mean. Like it or not, Brooke is a mean girl. You can choose to like that about her and some people might even want to be friends with her and that’s great. I just think that the mean energy is not reciprocated by Tana at all and it looks like bullying. I’ve never heard Tana make fun of Brooke’s makeup/outfit/decisions. Brooke makes fun of Tana so much it’s 50% of her personality on the pod.
Every time Brooke shares something about her life Tana always hypes her up with the “go off, you do you” like a fully supportive great friend.
The interrupting/criticism/wanting her to stop being sober. I dont know these people personally but from what we see on the podcast, Brooke seems like she has the worst intentions for Tana. From what she puts out there, she cares about fame/brand deals/ being brand friendly and it’s a bit much. Chase your bag ofcourse! But don’t chase your bag by making fun of your friends and acting superior. Especially if that’s the friend that gave you your career and supports everything you do.

2024.05.16 17:56 CarsonInDepth 1 month update:
Crazy what 1 month can do! If you are curious about my routine, I will break it down:
Fish oil: mood health, brain health, blood pressure, inflammation
Glucosamine+chondroiton: joint health
B12: lowers homocysteine which is raised by accutane
My skin care routine is pretty simple: I slug with aquaphor every night! In the morning, a top layer of dry skin is present which just comes right off with water, revealing new skin which is less irritated and a properly functioning barrier thanks to the occlusive effect of aquaphor. I use cerave moisturizer(big tub) and apply a tinted moisturizer with zinc oxide over it.
That’s basically it! I am wishing you all a smooth treatment, and I’m excited to see more progress pics from everyone! You got this! 💪🏼

- Supplements: I believe the supplements I take are CRUCIAL to my treatment. I don’t think I would be able to continue treatment if I didn’t take the supplements I do. I’m currently taking NAC 3000mg/day, fish oil 2000mg, glucosamine 1.5grams, chondroiton 1.2 grams, and B-12(methylcobalamin) 1mg. Now I will break down why I take them:
Fish oil: mood health, brain health, blood pressure, inflammation
Glucosamine+chondroiton: joint health
B12: lowers homocysteine which is raised by accutane

2024.05.16 17:56 cardi_bs_butthole My private instagram was exposed and I got fired
Would love to hear input or advice on what could’ve been done differently or what I could’ve done. Obviously not do what I did lol but I just wanna vent for the sake of venting.
My instagram has always been private and I only allow students to follow me if they graduate high school. I pretty much just post on my story. Sometimes stupid shit that probably isn’t professional but I digress. Was doing high school last year but now I’m doing elementary school.
A public Facebook group for parents of my school’s district posted a screen-recording of my story from a month ago. The story was a picture of my classroom and saying things I probably shouldn’t have about my little ones. My kiddos trashed my classroom during a lockdown when I made the post so naturally I was furious. The Facebook post blew up.
Have yet to speak with HR about it because I told them I refuse until my union rep is present but I’ve since been notified that I’ve been removed from my assignment and the Facebook page announced that I’ve been let go.
I’ve been verbally and physically abused by my little ones the entire school year. A kindergartener choked me and another tried to cut me with a piece of glass, to name some things. Even so, parents have always praised the work I’ve done in the classroom.
It was a bad day among many bad days and I felt the need to share it. Didn’t realize the Facebook page had access to my private social media. Were these students tough? Fuck yeah. Do I still love them? Fuck yeah, but some days I don’t. Do I still love the profession? Absolutely. And now I’ve been made out to be a public enemy and have to be careful when I go out in public. On the bright side I can file for unemployment? Lol
Thanks for reading my essay lol. Comment “🥸” if you read this

2024.05.16 17:55 PowerLies I just want to rant, because there’s no one else I can share this with.
I have been in relationship with this girl for nearly a year; I didn’t initiate it but boy did I fall deep.
I knew I wanted that final gal in my life so I was careful. I’m not sure what made her interested in me and why she waited for months before I said yes. I finally accepted and couldn’t be happier!
She was everything I wanted - Smart, caring, career focussed and best of all, interesting. Someone you’d never get bored of talking to all the time. We’d meet everyday, go on trips together, dates every weekend, late night talks, stayovers, everything was perfect!
She was in it for the long haul, at least thats what she said. She wanted to meet my family and was hinting strongly that I should think about marriage. I remember thinking 6-7 months was quite early, but everyone insisted there’s nothing wrong in it.
Then came the mood swings; I’m not perfect but seemingly innocent mistakes made her mad. I mean MAD! Mad enough that she didn’t want to speak to me for days. “It hurts when your guy doesn’t understand small things” she said. It was painful for me to see her so disturbed, was frustrated to no end that she’d never give me a single chance to explain myself. Days would go by and she’d come back requesting to not talk about what happened.
I played along; after all fights are common in relationships right? So what if she takes days to cool down (as opposed to hours as it was with earlier relationships).
Now comes the possible final straw. She had to move away far due to her personal reasons and settle there; I let her be, for some days. But after not talking for a month (barely chatting even, she didn’t even bother to respond to messages) I started to grow restless. Why would she not consider me important enough to not share what’s happening in her life? 5 mins of texting a day, is it too much to ask?
I reported to her that it has started to bother me; How can you think months of zero contact is normal? How can I mean so little to you?
“I don’t think I can do this. You can’t understand me at all, I don’t think we are compatible” was her response!
I simply said OK, didn’t want to fight. It just hurt too much and anything I’d say would definitely make it worse. So I waited for 2-3 days after which she texted me. Told me to not blame myself and that she was in a bad mood. However, she doesn’t think long distance will work with us.
I simply said that I can work with long distance to which her response was if i’m ok, so is she.
So here I stand; haven’t spoken to her over phone for 2 months now. Barely chat, and if we do, it’s as if we don’t even know each other. Officially we haven’t broken up but I don’t see any signs of relationship being alive either. Kills me everyday.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing is I’m unable to take the hint and move on even if it is as subtle as a sledgehammer hit on your face.

2024.05.16 17:55 jadedjade666 Forced to sign papers and withholding video evidence
TLDR at bottom. To be blunt, my partner recently got a job as a dealership mechanic (FL). They’ve worked in automotive care for 5+ years, and have been working towards getting certification (this company suggests it’s possible through working with them).
They show up to their first day of work, get asked to show essentially what is a tire change/rotation and an oil change. Supervisor sees they know what they’re doing and sets em off to work. After a while supervisor comes up and explains the method they’re using to put tires on ‘takes too long’ and tells them to do it another way.
Not EVEN a week later, a customer returns because their tire fell off just down the street. Match the service number to my partner. The head supervisor tells them not to worry and come talk tomorrow.
Well, they claim it was my partners fault, saying they only hand tightened the tire. Luckily the shop is not charging them for fixing it, however, to continue working they had to sign a paper explaining it was their fault, it’s covered by the shop, and any/other mistakes will be paid out of pocket.
The thing that gets me, they REFUSED to show the video surveillance footage, claiming it was ‘choppy’ and ‘too long’. They quite literally have the shop videography streaming 24/7 to a giant monitor inside with damn near perfect 4k quality and no skipping.
I’ve never worked in the automotive line, however, I have worked in fast food for one example and leasing for another one. Both those jobs readily provided any video evidence of ‘wrong doing’, and sometimes immediately after an action occurred. This whole thing reeks of suspicious bs to me.
My partner’s coworkers claim they’ve had to pay for multiple mistakes they SWEAR they didn’t make, yet the company never provides the video footage. Why have the fucking footage then? I mean shit use it as a learning opportunity. I understand if lawyers got involved that’s probably what it’s for, but who the fuck has time and money for that, especially if they’ve only worked a WEEK with NO training (technically).
TLDR; partner hasn’t even worked a full week as dealership mechanic and has received no technical training. Customer returned with car damage due to tire falling off down the street. Company forced partner to sign paper stating it was partners fault, the company was covering damages, and any subsequent damages will be paid out of pocket by partner; all while adamantly refusing to provide video evidence despite clearly having it.
Is this in anyway legal or just plain negligence/malpractice?

2024.05.16 17:55 Pigeon-Of-Peridot Attachment types and 'leaning on' other centers
So in the theory, there's a thing where Rejection and Frustration types are very dependent on and overuse their primary center, while Attachments are 'disconnected' from it in a way. But if you aren't using your center to process information, then what are you using to process information?
Probably another center, right? I think some/most Attachments lean on at least one of the other centers, at least on a surface level. Of course, there's still the underlying process of the core center, but they can take on the Flavour of their crutch center to compensate for the disconnect from the core.
Let's take 9 as an example: both still have 9's characteristic repression of anger, but a head-leaning 9 might think "I need to be reasonable, I can't let my biases affect my actions" (from my own experience) and a heart-leaning 9 might think "I'm a calm person normally, this isn't the real me" or "My loved ones will reject me if I show anger" (this one might be a bit off because I'm not as familiar with heart triad, sorry.) You can see how the crutch centers modulate the expression of the core type- and how this might lead to potential misunderstandings.
Some more examples.
Gut-leaning 6: "If I'm not careful enough / caught off guard, I'll be powerless and unable to assert my will." Heart-leaning 6: "I'm having doubts about this person- can they really be trusted? I need to test them and see."
Head-leaning 3: [meticulously planning out their entire life down to the week] "If I just follow this, I'll achieve maximum success." Gut-leaning 3: "Get-up-and-go is the most important, success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration."
As a head-influenced 9 myself, I still catch myself discarding my initial gut reaction (which is usually negative lmao) to come up with a palatable and Reasonable 'second opinion', one that makes logical sense but is in no way similar to what I really feel. I'm also very scared of accidentally treating my subjective experience as the objective truth (saying "this sucks" instead of "I don't like this"). It is like my first instinct is to react instinctively, but then I have tojustify... paper over it with Logic and Reasoning.
You get the idea. I think this makes a lot of sense for Attachments because it makes use of that classic adaptability, and it makes a somewhat decent replacement for the unreliable core center.
[Note: This is still kind of half-baked and it's midnight where I live, but I'm putting it out there- in particular, I'm still not sure what makes a particular person choose a crutch center, although I have a suspicion that it's somehow linked to wings and/or trifix. Might need a bit more data on that one.]

2024.05.16 17:55 chrismatic13 I Just Want Us To Win The First 2 Home Games
Obviously some what in jest. The most important thing is just winning the series but man, it would be so reliving if they don’t drop either of the first 2 games at home. I think they could still drop one of the first two and then gentlemen sweep similar to the previous series but I do think that home losses are baffling and this team has to show they can protect home.
We know they are road warriors but I want to see them play with some pride and let it be known home court means something, especially for the Finals.

2024.05.16 17:55 BadgerCos Gabriel. Thank you.
This is gonna be a long and personal one. If you do read it, I appreciate it. I absolutely understand if you don’t though. With that all being said, I’m hoping Gabriel sees this.
I had my fourth call today with LM nearly two hours ago now (yes, it’s taken this long for or me to find the ‘right’ words). We went through more directions and not to give anything away, but I was surprised and confused a bit (may make another post with spoilers to ask here about it to see if anyone else has had the same happen to them, we’ll see). It was a nice distraction. I then tried to make an appointment. We talked of family for a moment. It was nice to remember something that I didn’t for a very, very long time.
As the call went on, my mind trailed to my father. (TW: Intense medical procedure). He’s currently in a hospital out of state still recovering from a double lung transplant he had a week ago. The first time I got to talk with him since the surgery happened was yesterday. It’s already been a long six year process. I didn’t realize just how long of a road it would still be until I heard my dad’s voice last night.
To further explain— I have a high functioning auditory memory. I am able to remember and recall the sounds and/or voices that I hear for long periods of time (which can sometimes be up to years in my case). Voices, music, etc. tend to mean a lot to me. So, I was shocked and a bit heartbroken when I realized that my dad didn’t sound or even process some things the same as he used to a week after the surgery. It’s my first time experiencing anything like this, so I was taken aback a bit.
I began to get anxious during the phone call while memories of him flooded in without warning and I didn’t want to ruin the rest of the experience. So, I tried to make something out of it. And I opened up. I remembered you can say if you’re having a psychological emergency. So, I let Gabriel know.
When explaining why I felt anxious, it was odd for me. Usually I’m very sure in how I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it. It’s been a long road with my dad’s health. I wasn’t sure other than ‘anxious’ how to describe where I was at. Thank you for bearing through it and for your patience with me, Gabriel, if you do read this.
He took me through a few breaths, but then let me know that he couldn’t take me through the whole emergency process. He dropped his ‘customer service’ voice as he explained that we only had 30 seconds left of our call today. I told him ‘it’s okay’, with a slight waver in my voice that I poorly tried to hide. ‘It’s hard when someone you love.. starts to become different due to medical.. (TW: swearing) shit. I don’t know what else to say.’ ‘I appreciate you saying anything, honest. Thank you.’ The bell rang. I took my survey. I thanked him. The call ended.
His honesty, even when not knowing what to say, gave me more comfort than almost any other conversation I’ve had about my dad. It really, really is hard. And he recognized that.
I didn’t realize until the call was over that when I thanked him, I thanked him by another name. I do apologize, I truly didn’t mean to. I promise that I know your name. I sat with myself for a while wondering why I called him that specific name of all names. I would say why, but I feel as though I’ve already opened up a lot today.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for hearing me.
I wanted to talk about this moment in particular during my call today because I wanted to say that if there’s anyone reading this going through any similar or unrelated struggles— reach out. Doesn’t have to be to LM. Trust me when I say that I definitely didn’t plan on it being LM or Gabriel. It can be with a loved one or someone close. Doesn’t have to be someone close either. Just as long as you reach out to someone rather than hold on to whatever struggle you’re going through. It’s terrifying, yes. But you never know. You could really find comfort in an unexpected and unplanned conversation. I did.
Gabriel. Thank you. Until Next Time.

I don’t know what else to say.’ ‘I appreciate you saying anything, honest. Thank you.’ The bell rang. I took my survey. I thanked him. The call ended.
His honesty, even when not knowing what to say, gave me more comfort than almost any other conversation I’ve had about my dad. It really, really is hard. And he recognized that.
I didn’t realize until the call was over that when I thanked him, I thanked him by another name. I do apologize, I truly didn’t mean to. I promise that I know your name. I sat with myself for a while wondering why I called him that specific name of all names. I would say why, but I feel as though I’ve already opened up a lot today.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for hearing me.
I wanted to talk about this moment in particular during my call today because I wanted to say that if there’s anyone reading this going through any similar or unrelated struggles— reach out. Doesn’t have to be to LM. Trust me when I say that I definitely didn’t plan on it being LM or Gabriel. It can be with a loved one or someone close. Doesn’t have to be someone close either. Just as long as you reach out to someone rather than hold on to whatever struggle you’re going through. It’s terrifying, yes. But you never know. You could really find comfort in an unexpected and unplanned conversation. I did.
Gabriel. Thank you. Until Next Time.

Take the next step by reflecting on the following:
• Proving that someone else is wrong is a terrible way to convince them that you are right. Assume they are right and do your best to understand their perspective. Once both parties understand each other’s point of view, set your boundary.
• If you see a weakness in someone’s argument, don’t attack. Instead, express confusion and seek to understand them.
• Use emotional mirroring to match someone’s emotional intensity.

2024.05.16 17:54 el3vader Does anyone know where to find a tutorial on how to make this effect?
The sound comes in at :36. It sounds like a chopped vocal that is being gated every like 16th note or so.
If you don’t have Spotify and are just listening to the preview it starts right at the jump and continues for about 10 seconds.
Thanks!

2024.05.16 17:54 zohairali37 Advice or Help. Gay (Don’t Act on It) Muslim Man Wanting to Get Married to a Lesbian Muslim Woman
Please read the full post before jumping to conclusions. Salam, I am an American Muslim male in my twenties, wanting to ask for advice on how to handle this particular situation I’m in. Since I was young, I have experienced homosexual attractions that I have actively suppressed (I have memories dating back to when I was four years old), yet always had the intention of still getting married to a Muslim woman one day because I’m too scared to risk my afterlife. Luckily, I don’t outwardly appear to be facing this test but this has its own drawback. At risk of sounding cocky, I’m conventionally attractive, appear straight, and have a good career. As a result, I’m constantly pestered about marriage, have had to reject girls for no apparent reason, and have people I know wonder why I’m not looking for a relationship. The truth is that I honestly do want to get married just to live a more fulfilling and less lonely life but my situation complicates things immensely.
I’ve come to terms with the fact that I would not be able to sexually gratify a Muslim woman. Though I’m a mature enough to be loyal and provide emotional support, marrying a straight woman would be a total act of deception. I made the intention at a young age that I would never lie to a straight woman and use her as a pawn to cover up my own issue. That would be deceitful and I don’t know how any good Muslim would suggest that as a solution. Lying is Haram in Islam. To anyone who would suggest that as a solution, how would you feel if your sister was fooled by a closeted gay?
Thus, I am hoping to find a closeted lesbian Muslim woman who is in my same situation (trying to suppress her desires) for a marriage based on mutual support & love without the expectation of sex. Does anyone like me even exist? This is not a fake marriage that’ll provide a cover up for us to sleep around. This is a genuine marriage without the expectation of sex. Having a life companion to grow old with is better than living alone and I’ve been able to control myself well enough all these years and feel that my life will feel more complete with a wife. You guys have no clue how tough and confusing this test is. There is no viable solution, it’s clear that it’s out of my control, yet there is so much stigma around merely possessing these desires. I know I’ll be getting hateful comments and messages, but I ask that you respond to this with the intention to help someone who has already been through a difficult mental battle alone. Thanks.

2024.05.16 17:54 StateGuilty Walked out
Finally decided to just walkout yesterday despite getting the 4th highest raise in the store last month (mind you 68 cents isn’t shit man). I work at ups and that job sucks but it pays way better. My boss Kelly and yes I’ll name her cause she’s a bitch, keeps insisting on me being a bike builder despite having like 2 hours of training and me constantly telling her I need help, basically the last straw was yesterday we got to first break which for inbound is 1hr and 45 minutes in and I didn’t have a single bike built had like 3 partially built and basically I rage quit out of pure frustration. Sucks too cause I very much liked the job but dude I can’t work every day being set up to fail by my own boss. My etl tried calling me but I just ignored. Then I just no call no showed today. Fuck this place honestly man. I know I was a damn good worker too,much better than she’s gonna get. Now they won’t have anybody else good to throw the trucks when the main thrower isn’t there

2024.05.16 17:53 Due_Description_7519 I feel like the HELP and I want to stop it now
Hello so for context, I am a female and my roommate is a female and we have been living together for almost 2 years now. We met each other about a couple years ago while working and hit it off really well and so we decided to move in together, I feel like I’ve overstepped my duties as a roommate and I’m not too sure how to go about explaining that to my roommate. For the past year that we have lived together, I have helped out as much, especially with things that have come up with her car with her job helping out if she needed a little bit more money when he came down to paying the bills and I had never had any problem with it, but recently she lost her job and her car and instead of having a conversation with me to see how I would feel about her using my car and everything she pretty much got the job and is now asking me every day if she can use my car and I’m honestly just tired because I feel like I have a lot of responsibilities and I feel like her family doesn’t help her enough and I am overworking to help out as much as I can as a friend but it’s all too much ! I’m angry at myself because I shouldn’t have been so lenient but also I understand things happen so I didn’t think a whole year later I would still be in this predicament. She’s not in my insurance I have had a car accident by someone using my car and not too long ago she got a parking ticket in my car when she said she wanted to DoorDash but yet went to go to therapy in my car. She paid the ticket off but that stuff right there just don’t sit right with me . I just need some advice how do I approach this it’s long long overdue no one I know would even be allowing it to have gotten to this extent. I literally told her hey I can drop you off and pick you up when I can but she literally decided to text me early this morning 2 hours before her shift to ask to use my car knowing I had to work. The only big thing I’m worried about is the bills.. but i feel like I allowed her to feel as though she doesn’t need to look for help elsewhere I know plenty of people who had to Uber , catch the bus and she has FAMILY.. but yet doesn’t want to use those resources. My anxiety just tells me ok just let her because we have been in multiple situations where she wouldn’t have the money she would wait a whole month then towards the end be like oh I only have 200 dollars so I would try to help her figure it out she’ll give a sob story how no one helps .. she thinks I’m always here to just help when I had my half of the rent and she didn’t and she told me to go donate plasma with her so we can have her half.. like is this even a friend (I told her no) ? I feel so lost and I know it’s going to cause tension because she has anger issues but I really don’t care anymore! I really hope she can figure things out without me I care for my friend but idk I feel like she will Sabotage her paying rent .. and that’s what scares me (because I work from home and I guess I’m the only person to help her so if she can’t go to work she won’t have money and it’ll be my “fault”). She’s not a bad person she just deals with a lot mentally and I try so hard to just get her through things and right now is tough but I can’t keep allowing my sympathy get in the way of me being used.. I feel used i am a parent and the worst I could do is allow anything to happen to my car and I won’t be able to do what is needed . She swears she will pay me back and has never did it.. she had a good paying job spent thousands on wigs while knowing she owed me thousands .. nothing I push that to the side I accidentally paid more for the electric bill she said she will give me that money never heard about it again.. like if I didn’t accidentally pay the whole thing you would’ve had that money because it was due which means she deliberately used her money for herself and decided not to pay me back.. I’m not the HELP . I’m not the savior and provider I’m a ROOMMATE , advice is welcomed

2024.05.16 17:52 villawolvesh How do I get an international Job? (Remote or willing to relocate)
(Long text if you don’t want to read just answering the question is fine)
Yeah so literally that. I’m Mexican and live in mexico. I am graduating in July from a finance and banking degree and have been working since I started university, started in a administrative role in a national only company (I was lucky to be given this job), then I moved to a well known international company as an intern in risk and controls.
The thing is I lived in Germany before college and had multiple jobs (In construction, bartender, waiter, etc.) that I even got a pretty cool job with the owner of the restaurant where I got to live incredible things with people from different countries but since then I have felt like my jobs here and even the exposure to growing professionally and in my personal life are too limited.
So my questions are, is there any chance that I can get a job (remote preferably because I love traveling but also would love to relocate somewhere in Germany, Spain, England, etc. for the Europe nostalgia) in my field (finance), administration or even something related to technology (I’ve been doing research in coding and AI as business developing that I find fascinating) but focusing only in international companies? If so… what would be the best the best approach? I mean like, pages to look for jobs, field considerations, resume improvement, companies I should consider, skills I need, etc.
Maybe it’s too dreamy and if it is I also accept reality checks :).

2024.05.16 17:52 Rek_Raion What do you do with continuous actions?
Hi! I just read GTD and I have started to implement the system. But once you start to implement it, it’s not as easy as it looks in the book 🤣 I'm facing some challenges so I think I will be asking some questions here in the following days. But for the moment, to maintain the topic clear, I don’t know what to do with continuous actions.
With continuous actions I mean those actions that don’t just start and finish, that are just meant to be done regularly, kind of like a habit. Or also the actions that are going to be repeated a lot for a certain time. Some examples on which I have found this problem.
I’m taking a medicine and I have to take it let’s say 3 times a day, for 1 month. Where would this fit? Just like a one big action? Or each time I have to take it would be an action?
I also like to take part in different monthly challenges. Usually to make one same action every day. I see that the challenge can fit easily in the project list, but which would be the action exactly?
And for example, I have made a calendar list for people birthdays, and now I have the “project” to add all the birthdays of people I know. But it’s not something I want to do now, it’s more like a thing that I want to be doing constantly for the rest of my life (as I know more people for example). Would this be a “project” and if so which would be the next action exactly? Or it would fit in another place?
For the moment, I have made a “context” list called constant actions. But I’m seeing that it’s something that it's going to be quite common and I don’t think it’s ever mentioned in the book.
Another example would be training, but for that I see that a verification system can work right. But not for the other ones.
Sorry for the long post, I wanted to make it as clear as possible. I’d like to know how do you manage this kind of situations. Thanks in advance for the help!

2024.05.16 17:52 Aros001 "Anime-only fans are generally more positive because they don't think about the material as critically as manga readers."
This is a mindset I feel like I've seen more and more of over time, especially as anime adaptations have become more frequent and widespread. This belief that fans of a series who only consume that series through the anime adaption are generally more positive because they tend not to think about the series as critically as those who consume the series through the manga. They don't analyze the story or characters past the surface level, they're just interested in pretty animation and the barest bones of a competent story.
The exceptions, of course, are when it's a bad adaptation, as the anime fans will be more critical and for good reason, ranging from anime like Naruto, with its incredibly stretched out pacing, to Rising of the Shield Hero, which sanded off a lot of the main character's edge and anger and as such made him more generic, to Rosario+Vampire, which decided it didn't need interesting plot and character development when it could have panty shots instead.
While I get why this mentality exists and can sometimes even see the points those with it make, ultimately it often just feels like some people trying to justify a conclusion they've already come to.
There's more than one possible explanation for why anime-only fans are typically more positive than the manga readers, not the least of which being how absolutely f**king enormous the audience for anime in general is even compared to the audience for manga. Considering there are absolutely people who read manga and don't think critically about it, it's completely possible the ratio of those who do and those who don't is exactly the same between manga and anime, there's just more people overall in the anime circle. Of course the number of people who don't think critically about anime is greater than those who do think critically about manga, because anime's audience is way larger overall. You could likely also make the exact same argument that there are more people who think critically about anime than there are of those who think critically about manga.
I also can't help but feel this view is slightly based in the mindset that cynicism is proof of intelligence while positivity is proof of a lack thereof. If person is positive about a product it must be because they just don't have the capacity to see all the problems with it, rather than perhaps those problems not actually being that big a deal or that what they're positive about the series for has its own share of depth.
I also can't help but notice the theory insists that anime-only fans are more positive because they don't think critically about what they're consuming, that they're too casual to it, yet rarely do I so the opposite theory despite it having just as much a possibility of being true; that the manga-readers are typically more negative because they sometimes become TOO fixated on the material, to the point they end up overblowing what problems the material has beyond what they actually are. The rate at which they consume the material probably doesn't help much either. Most manga tends to be a chapter a week to a chapter a month, while on average most anime tends to be an episode a week, with each episode being roughly three chapters of the manga.
Manga readers will spend an entire week, if not more, fixated on a small piece of the story while the anime watchers will have been given a larger chunk to think and talk about. One is judging small pieces of the story as their own complete thing while the anime watchers are able to better see how everything fits and flows together.
I'm not trying to argue that anime or manga are better than each other, nor that one audience is inherently better or smarter than the other. What I am saying is that "Anime-only fans are generally more positive because they don't think about the material as critically as manga readers." just sounds like some bullcrap some people came up with so that they could feel superior to others.
"These anime watchers like this thing I didn't. Well, clearly it's because I actually read the manga. I actually used my brain and invested myself in more than just the pretty moving pictures. That's the only thing an anime-only fan cares about."
