Beginning Of Ruin (1)

A cold wisp of wind blew over the usually tranquil river that our small wooden boat was now drifting along, despite its old age I’m proud to say that I’d never heard this thing let out even so much as a screech over the passing centuries....not even once.
Dancing in the midst of nature’s cold embrace was a field of red spider lilies that stretched across the land on either side of my view, as usual the crimson field stood out even when under the full embrace of the moon’s splendor, but I’d gotten used to the peculiar sight of their vibrant beauty long ago, though there was in fact a time when I held an unfound hatred for them, one that smoldered within my heart by the day.
Looking back, it all feels somewhat comical now seeing as I can’t even remember why I hated them so much in the first place...heh....I doubt I can even feel much of anything that strongly anymore.
“.......nigami......shinigami are you listening? You’ve been really quiet for a while now.”
The woman sitting directly across from me called out in a voice coated with a tinge of concern. Given the current situation though, the fact that she could maintain such an aloof demeanor was nothing short of amazing. The gentle smile now curling up from her lips seemed to outshine even the orbs of pale green light surrounding her.
“Yeah, I’m always listening. It’s just been a while since anybody’s called me that.”
“Fufufu...you’re always listening huh? Is that your way of showing compassion?”
“Who knows? Humans just seem to like having someone around to listen to their woes one final time. Since I’m already sending them off, I figured that much was the least I could do.”
“Hehehe.....You can try being a bit more honest with me you know? After all it's obvious that you love listening to their last words, everything from the good and the bad. Isn’t that why you’re usually so quiet?”
“You’re reading too much into it, Luelle...”
After giving that reply I saw her looking over at me with a conspicuous smirk lining her lips. Her mischievous blue eyes peered out at me from between the gap in the two bangs of blonde hair that had managed to carefully frame her small face.
“Heh-Heh...there’s nothing wrong with that. You should try being a bit more friendly, if you did that then the mortals probably wouldn't have all those nasty rumors going around about you.”
“How exactly am I supposed to be more friendly? And besides you’re the one who told me to start smiling whenever I appear before them.”
Her cheeks began reflecting a vibrant shade of red, directing her vision towards the blossoming lilies, I heard the subtle chuckles of laughter coming from her.
“.....Wait was that on purpose?”
“...Hehheh...No but come on, anybody would be scared if you showed up dressed in that mantle and smiling with a scythe across your shoulder. If you want to seem more approachable, try taking that hood off first.”
Even though her chuckling laughter was somewhat irritating, I decided to take her advice one last time. Lifting the mantle that previously focused my vision, I exposed myself to the night sky’s splendor on nothing more than a whim.
\CLAP**
After watching me expose my skeletal face, Luelle made that gesture as if to congratulate me on something.
“That’s a good start, although those gleaming red eye sockets of yours could use a little work. Why don’t you try taking another form?”
After making a strange gesture with her hands, she leaned in towards me, now trying to capture my figure with the strange box like construct she’d made with her fingers.
“Don’t see the point. More importantly, Luelle.......”
Though it was completely unintentional, for some reason my voice had trailed off just now.
“....don’t you have any worthwhile stories left to tell me?”
The moonlight flickered across her now glossy eyes, fixing the wriggly smile that was slowly starting to contort, I watched as she took a few deep breaths.
“Mhmm......Come to think of it, I’ve probably told you all the interesting stories I have to offer. It’s strange, even though we’ve known each other for a really long time, it feels like there’s not much to say between us right now.”
“That’s true, looking back now I feel like I’ve heard it all.”
“Ah! What’s that supposed to mean!? You’ve gotten really smug over the years you know; I remember when you were just a-”
“That was a long time ago. I’m surprised you can still remain so calm through all of this.”
Her voice lost a bit of its eccentric vigor after hearing my reply. While it was rare to see Luelle go so quiet all of a sudden, it wasn't that strange of a phenomenon. This river radiated an aura of calmness so profound it could even quell the worries of drifting souls, and yet it was so subtle in the way it operated that you wouldn’t even notice it unless you actually took a moment to pause and listen.
“I won’t say that I’m not the least bit worried but even Celestials like me aren’t eternal. We do need to reincarnate every now and then so there’s just no helping it.”
“Those wandering spirits are still clinging to you even now huh?”
“...Yeah....It’s about high time I send them off.” Rising from her seat, the cascading white dress she wore promptly flopped down to the wooden floor. She gazed up at the drifting moon with one last look of resignation before gently flicking her finger, the green orbs surrounding her began scattering into the wind like luminous lanterns.
“As flamboyant as ever. Spirits obey you without a second thought.... You’re almost making it look too easy.”
“Well, it’s not that hard once you’re able to understand them, maybe you should try a different approach.” Reclaiming her previous poised posture, Luelle sat across from me but this time she was staring off into the field of spider lilies on her right.
“Do you have any regrets?”
Just then, her slender grip on the boat’s wooden edge tightened for a brief instant.
“.....You really do see through everything....” After muttering those words in a somber voice so faint the drifting winds could barely carry it, she turned to face me once more, a single teardrop glided down her right cheek before falling onto the boats weathered wooden floor.
“....I wanted to try living a normal life. Not as a Celestial, but simply as Luelle, a normal girl that could go about doing normal things.”
“You....wanted to be mortal?”
Her eyes drooped after hearing my question.
“.... Pathetic isn’t it?”
Although those words sounded bitter and cold, I got the feeling she couldn’t help but want to express them.
“One of Eden’s best Celestials wanted a normal life, eh? Even I couldn’t have predicted that one, but it’s not pathetic. Almost everyone has regrets at the end, expressing them for the final time is just a part of the process.”
Her eyes slowly widened in shock after hearing those words, soon after she began chuckling to herself, briskly wiping away the steady stream of fluid that had been pooling at the corner of her eyes.
“Heh-Heh...I suppose you’re right. Leave it to Grimm to give the perfect pep-talk right at the end.”
“You’re still using that name huh....... The pep-talk is just standard practice at this point.”
“Hmmm.....” She stared at me with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
“So what about you Grimm....do you have any regrets?”
“I wonder......”
I’d heard many a confession over the long centuries I’ve spent seeing souls off. From tales of grandeur and conquest to absolute travesties....I’d pretty much heard it all. But If I were to have any regrets myself, they must've parted from this realm a long time ago.
“Regret huh? I’ve already forgotten what that feels like.”
Just then, a faint azure glow began illuminating Luelle’s body like a thin sheen of wax. The wispy coating soon began emitting faint particles of blue light, illuminating the stagnant water’s below in a veil of delicate light that moved with us as we drifted downstream.
“So it’s begun huh....”
“Mhm.” She gave a faint nod, the motion obviously being pressured by the reluctance now weighing over her.
“Then I’ll see you off, just like I promised.”
“Thank You...” Her voice now sounded remarkably somber, like that of a small child offering their earnest gratitude.
For a while, it was silent. There was still much for us to say to each other but even though this was the perfect time for it, there was no urge to prolong our conversation. This serene silence was ironically the perfect fit for the current mood.
“Haaah....what am I doing? This isn’t how things usually are.”
Luelle’s voice sounded like it was drifting farther and farther away, but her tone had perked up considerably like she’d just remembered some grand idea.
“Hey Grimm listen, I’ll be going away for a little while but that doesn’t mean you should go back to your usual drab routine.”
“Are you really trying to give me advice at a time like this?”
“Agghhh!!......there you go again with that flat tone of yours. If I ever see you again, I hope you won’t still sound like that.”
Even though more than half of her lower body had now dissipated into fading particles of light, this girl still insisted on pestering me to the very end.
“Who knows if that will even happen.”
“Just promise me you won’t be so gloomy if I ever see you again.”
“......................”
“Oh come on! You should be answering immediately at a time like this....or what are you afraid you won’t be able to change?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then promise me. A reaper always keeps their promises, right?”
This ridiculous request was nothing more than an attempt to satisfy one of her own personal whims that may never even come true, but seeing as this was a one-time thing there was no real harm in accepting. I’ll just write it off as a century old favor to a friend.
“I promise.”
After hearing my admission of reluctant compliance, her glistening figure, now just a head bore a bright grin despite the pooling fluid leaking from the corner of her eyes.
“Thanks a lot Grimm, for everything!”
Bursting in a flash of violent light, the final fragments of Luelle’s essence scattered across the night sky by way of nature’s nightly whims.

I'm 28m and I always been pretty lonely, I live in a very small town, my family is nonexistent other than my dad who I don't get along with, he's very unstable emotionally and being around him is a constant trigger for my depression. He tries but he's pretty narcissist so there is just so much you can interact with someone like that...
I have some friends that live at the other side of the country and one of them calls me once every 10 days or so, another one lives in my town but he's always busy and doesn't really like hanging out. I tried making frinds online wich is awfully difficult, I talk to a dude , he calls me once every two weeks or so. Lamest thing? My EX introduced me to him...
He wanted to talk to me cuz he knew I was having a hard. So basically all human interaction I have is a call once in a while with a friend, a therapist I'm seeing and this dude from my town maybe every two weeks or three.
Honestly how do you cope with it?
I'm going trough quite a bit emotionally, I had a break down (a bad bad one) went trough what seamed like a nightmare for a few months, in the worst parts I had to talk to my ex because I literally thought I was going to die. She was nice enough to take my calls and calm me down, I can tell it was hard for her seeing me like that and hearing the thing that were going on trough my mind.
I decided I don't want her to link me with stress, I don't want her to "fear" my messages or feel bad about how I'm doing etc. So I'm not calling her anymore, she said I could and that she would be there for me but I feel awful. And it's not helping no one to move on.
I'm pretty fucking lonely everyday and is wearing me out A LOT. I'm journaling, I'm reading, I'm watching feel good movies, I've got a job for the summer, I'm studying in september but fuck... Is like everything lost it's spark when she left. I literally have no motivation whatsoever, I just keep going because I know I have to.

Good morning everyone,
I started on Humira (UK use Amgevita) around 6 weeks ago for the long term future.
Thankfully, in such a short time it’s pretty much already resolved any symptoms I’ve previously had which is amazing.
Anytime I do anything to keep active (Walking, Jogging, playing football or weight lifting)
The day after I feel completely drained, I ache head to toe & usually feel very groggy/unwell.
Is this just standard for me now or is there a way to counter the day after feeling?
From people’s experiences I’m hoping somebody can give me advice.
Thank you all

I like my disability rep, but as far as I've been able to tell, there really isn't much in farm sim games in general? The only one I've found is Keira in Harvest Moon DS, it is technically caused by a curse, but for all practical intents and purposes it's regular old mutism (Can't wait for that to come back around in SOS versions, hope they do a bit of a rewrite since things like sign language are more widely known these days.)
(In a finished farm sim game, anyway, on the indie side of things there is Coral Island but that's lacking so many important features I'm not even considering the game until it's actually done.)
So I'm curious if there're any others in oldemore niche games I might've missed.

My Steam Deck arrived a few days ago, and I've been able to configure everything pretty nicely. However, there have been some points in which I've struggled a bit and I've spent some time searching for the answer, so I hope I can sum everything up here for any new Steam Deck Clone Hero players.
Everything I'll explain here is posted on the internet, so you could find it on your own, but having no previous experience with Steam Deck (nor Linux) has made some things harder than I expected, so I hope it helps!

Installing Clone Hero

This really has no mistery. I followed this video on Youtube, but basically the steps to follow are:

1. Put Steam Deck in Desktop mode (hold Steam button > Power > Switch to Desktop).
2. Open your browser (you'll have to install it first, if you haven't yet) and go to Clone Hero page.
3. Click Download and it will download the Linux version.
4. Extract the downloaded package in your Downloads folder, and then move it wherever you want it to be (SD card or Home directory).

Adding it as a Non-Steam Game

You can select the clonehero executable file in the folder you just extracted, and right click (L2 button) and select "Add to Steam".
If it gives you an error, you will have to execute it first from Desktop mode (just tap into it and let the game load). After that, close the game and try again, and there should be no issues.
Keep in mind that you will need to press Start and select Guest player to be able to control the game, for example, to be able to select "Quit game".

Installing custom songs: using Bridge in Steam Deck

Your default songs folder will be at Home directory, inside .clonehero folder (make sure to "display hidden files" in your folder settings), in a folder called Songs. You can download your songs and move the song's folder in there.
My recommendation is to create a folder called Custom Songs there, just in case you want to download songs from older GH games (this way, you can sort them later by Playlist/Folder and keep everything organized by game or path).
Bridge is one of the best additions for your CH installation. If you want to use it, just go to their releases page and download the AppImage file.
Once downloaded, you'll be able to execute it in Desktop mode (it's not possible to execute it as a non-steam game, since it will open the "game" but it will not load anything, at least in my case). There, make sure to go to the Settings inside Bridge and set your songs path to the Custom Songs folder, so everything you download goes there.
Everytime you add new songs, you'll have to go to your CH settings and hit "Scan songs" for they to appear.
I'm currently trying to set an additional path folder for songs inside CH settings, so I can set a folder with songs in the external microSD card, which will make it easier to manage my songs in my PC in stead of the Steam Deck, but I don't know if this will work. I'll update this once I know.

But you want all your old GH games' songs, don't you?

In the right bar of this sub you have an Excel with the links to all the packages containing all the songs for old GH (and RB) games. However, they are quite a few, and most of them give a "quota exceeded" error. In PC, it might be easy to solve. For Steam Deck, well, it isn't so straight forward.
However, you can find this post where a user wrapped all the songs from all GH games in one single (50GB) zip file. It's not perfect, it has some duplicates, but it's just Download > Extract > Select what games you want to have in your CH > Move to your Songs folder.
It may give you an error when trying to unzip it: it's because Ark's settings (the software used to decompress files). You'll have to open the Ark software on its own, go to settings and disable "Libzip" from the plugins selected. Then you'll be able to extract everything without issues.

Configuring your Wii guitar to play (leave Desktop mode by pressing the "Return to Gaming mode" in your desktop)

This is where my nightmare kicked in. I connected my Wiimote to the Steam Deck via Bluetooth (Steam Deck menu > Bluetooth) by hitting the red sync button in the controller and... it connected but it was not working.
Furthermore, connecting it with the guitar made it completely useless, unable to even map the buttons, and even worse, the only thing working was the "strum up", which opened the Steam menu. Not good.
If you're having problems with it, just follow these steps. Apart from the Steam Input interface, you can actually overwrite your controller native mapping in the Steam Deck menu > Controllers page.
If you connected your guitar with your Wiimote, you may see two Wii controlllers appear: one is for the guitar, the other is for the Wiimote alone. I recommend you to change the Guitar controller's name in this page.
You don't actually need to map the exact same buttons as the ones mentioned in the link, just make sure to register the following buttons inputs to a "logical" key (where they will have sense):

• All colored buttons, of course, to be able to play.
• Strum bar up and down, also obvious.
• Joystick / whatever your guitar has for directional input, as you will need left and right in the game if you want to practice and be able to speed down or up the song.
• Start (of course) and Select (star power).

Once you have your "A" button mapped, you will be able to skip any other inputs you don't want to register pressing that same button you just mapped.
And now you will be able to open CH, however, nothing will work, because you haven't mapped your controller in game.

Mapping your guitar keys ingame

With your guitar turned on, grab your Steam Deck and press the Steam button + X. This will open the keyboard, and then you can press the Space bar to open the mapping menu.
Now press the "Assign controller" button (for me, I can do this only with the touchscreen) and hit any button in your guitar. This will change to your guitar as main controller.
If you cannot do any of these, it may be because you haven't selected a player. Start the game with a normal controller, press Start, select Guest, and then repeat the above steps.
And now, just click the keys you want to map and press the corresponding guitar buttons (you should make sure to map the controls described in the previous step).
Once you finish, just hit "Done", and that's it! You can already play to CH in your Steam Deck!
I hope this guide is not too complicated. I know this is a very simple process that anyone can do, but I hope it can help someone if they struggle with some steps of it.
Have fun playing and remembering old times!

Labour Value is an invisible parallel economy that works on top of the visible economy. It's only function is to prove Marx's Hegelian dialectic materialism right. Otherwise it is completely unnecessary. There is nothing in Marxs observations that cannot be explained elsewhere. LTV acts as a retreat for Marxists into which they can climb when all else fails. It's like jumping from one reality to the other. Marx uses an idea of “value” which in itself is an intangible ghost and divides this into other ghosts, all dancing to the tune of his pipe. His thorough belief, influenced by the other economists of his time, is that value is an absolute, a definite. However value is simply a human expression of usefulness, something's value is as concrete as the user wishes it to be, which is changeable and intangible. The value of anything without humans is 0. It's an entirely social relation. However as a social relation valueis only one sided. It remains in the hands of the demander. Something Marx chooses to ignore focusing on the supplier for philosophical conscience. Value can only be realised through exchange. Exchange requires a demander as it's common denominator. A supplier need not work or own or have madeve found, have been in the vicinity of the commodity to exchange it. The demander is the active participant in the exchange. The supplier is passive. He may set up shop, he may go door to door, but only by becoming a demander himself, he must forgoe his passivity and become an active demander to open shop or move himself from place to place. Demand is the active state. Choice becomes dominant in this exchange afterwards. As the demander has, going into the exchange, a preference for that good. The supplier must then look at their own situation, seperate from their labour and their inputs as a demander to evaluate whether the trade should be made. This works in individuals as well as in aggregate. The value therefore is itself an expression of multiple and myriad individual factors that we group together as an easy expression of “Value.” Marx then takes this idea of “Value” itself a ghost or a spook, simply a notion for a phenomenon that is itself unreal, without a stable meaning or equal sum of parts from one exchange to the next, he takes this and divides it into the parts of his choosing: Labour value, use value etc. This is done to suit the historical materialism that he has set out to prove as the driving force of nature. The value theory of Marx is itself unrefutable, however this is due to its place above the actual and tangible economy. The beauty of creating this ghost is that like any spectre we cannot hit it, for, self contained, it simply flits away into the air from whence it came. The Marxist idea of value presents itself as scientific but remains pseudoscience. It might follow laws of logic, but not of empirical inquiry. Marx's theory of labour is etherial for this very reason. Marx as a philosopher is well aware of what he is doing. By proposing a theoretical model that sits on top (A superstructure if you will lol) of the processes of production and exchange, in which those processes can function as well without it as with it, he creates a spectre that can jump out at any stage in the process and shout “boo” announcing its presence and then disappearing again. It, despite the attempts to formally calculate and realise it in reality, remains elusive. But that is a power granted to it by it's creation. It cannot be proven or disproven, you could replace the whole thing with ghosts and it wouldn't lose any logical reasoning. The labour value of Marx indeed acts as a ghost, an intangible and etherial force that work embues into commodities, a spirit that lives in that commodity and realises itself spontaneously when another person claims ownership of it. The challenge that Marx gives to his acolytes is to find this transformation using his vague mathematical theories, that aggregate the economy, then divide and sub divide through further aggregates until you end up with a number that has absolutely no relevance to anything and has to be proven useful in predicting anything. The Value of Marx is therefore at once a concrete, self contained theory that follows strict laws of logic and is irrefutable in it's own theoretical state. But it is also a ghost, it takes an intangible human construct and breathes a whole mysticism into it, which l, like any religious system is thoroughly logical in itself. Accept the idea of Kronos and nothing about the Roman pantheon makes sense. There is nothing about Marx's value theory that doesn't mimic in this regard. It suffers the same fate as well, when science, medicine, economics etc are based on religious mysticism they suffer from the unrelenting forces of reality. Marxist theory suffers the same fate. Marx's observations were nothing new, simply taken from other economic theories of the time. His predictions are explainable with more robustness and accuracy with Austrian Economics for example, which does not need any ghosts to make it work. His only contribution is the additional and contrived shoe horning in of his theory of value, itself a cheery picked combination of classical economic ideas. Marx wished for value to be a tangible force that can explain things as elegantly as electricity, but instead it remains a ghost, like the old aether that filled the void. It comes from nothing than the mind, stays in the mind and dies there when it cannot be brought out into reality.

I am working as an English teacher for classes 8 to 12 in CBSE affiliated school.
I am a brand new teacher and this is my first job in a very very small school which also happens to be shitty. It's not even 1 month yet and just in two weeks I am devastated and more depressed and frustrated than ever. It's not just students, it's also other teachers who try to press me down. And I can't quit because I don't have the qualifications required for being a teacher and no other school would probably hire me. I was doing CA and was depressed out of my mind and now I am really anxious and frustrated and just on verge on breaking down.
All kids are from rural backgrounds and are present in this school because they failed in most subjects and classes and are not even near about good in studies. All and most kids are mannerless, fucking rude and so pathetic, entire onus lies on teachers itself. And they're highly indisciplined, don't know how to talk and girls especially act so fucking brazenly, nobody even from my own age group or anyone for that matter have acted this way with me ever. Yesterday 9th class girls literally shouted on me saying, "ye 4th period nhi hai! Aapka period nhi hai!" And believe me when I say this is nothing, one 12th class girl makes such faces when she sees me in corridors or even in class, she snatched away notebook from my hands when I was correcting her "capital letters in middle of word and she argued with me about repairs and repressing meaning same thing and being one word, she didn't know how to pronounce either one!" And she storms out of class while I am teaching and bangs the door of classroom so fucking loudly that I flinched for a second. And brazenly says that papa ka number diya hua hai na call karlo, koi dikkat hai toh! Pr mughe kuch mat bolo, mai idhar hi baithungi and aise hi.
I have done everything, been strict, called on principal, complained.. every fucking thing.
And just in beginning of 2nd week, many teachers started acting domineering. One of them called me at 9pm and told me to get something done and purchase it from my own money because that school is fucking broke. I don't mind that, but why should I when she's the one who's responsible for that work. She said many hurtful things to me and I replied and she ended up disconnecting when I said why this attitude with me. Then she kept of texting, after half an hour each, telling me to "better be polite!" And other shit, I ended up blocking her and didn't reply anything out of professional courtesy. Next thing was one male teacher started taunting me and what not and I took it all in when on third day too he didn't give up and was saying something in front of 3 other teachers and 1 student, I just gave him a piece of my mind and told him to not talk to me in that manner, he immediately backed off and started saying that he was talking to me but he meant all that for the sir who was also present in room. And I just left after that for my class. Since then all these teachers obviously have groupism thing going on and they actually so fucking passive aggressively and pay no heed when I asked a subject teacher have something to say about their class because they're class teachers. And I did have anything to do with others in that group.
But that's just not one issue, I am so devastated kind of, I spent entire night crying and because I couldn't sleep so I ended up taking my first leave. All children like I mentioned previously are from rural background and most of them, I mean the majority of them are so so fucking rude. I am at my wits ends with them. Earlier it was just 10th and 12th class and now even 9th is acting up and I am actually frightened that 11th has started from today.
TLDR : Shitty first job as a school teacher, where all kids are brazenly rude, mannerless and highly indisciplined. And fellow teachers are cheap, assholes, really difficult to work with.
PS: (I guess some of you might recognise or know me from previous post in which I made in which I mentioned a student from 12th class literally oggles at me and that makes a really uncomfortable, even yesterday same thing happened I wanted to call him out but as many of you suggested that I might be mistaken or to just ignore it. Sometimes it's just that they're teenagers and seeing a young female teacher can be.. so whatever it's very subtle and based on your advices I chose to ignore it while just mentioning it to principal once.)

Atheists, Ex-muslims, christians jews even muslims themselves.
i looked up "muslim" in reddit and most of them were freaking P0RN.
and others talk about us in horrific ways.
that its a barbaric religion, that Muhammed (PBUH) was a ped0 (they ignore the fact how many religions also excuse marriage with kids + this was 1400 years ago and even people they adore used to do it, and it was normal in that time) and that its sexist (Islam highly respects a woman but they still wont shut up) and old-fashioned (to this day we can use it in our day to day lives) and how fake it is (scientific revolutions line up perfectly with Islam and Islam discovered this 1400 years before them) and they just go on and on and on about us
why wont they leave us alone? its horrifying on reddit here. i literally answered someones question on Islam (asking about the take of the buried infants and how they were mentioned in Quran) AND GOT -10 VOTES FOR WHAT??
its all "respect all beliefs!" "they have the right to do what they want!" till it comes to Islam. what the hell? its all hypocrites.
and the more annoying ones is the "Muslim" people who taint our name, like oppressive families using religion as an excuse to be abusive and so on.
why wont they leave us alone? im scared. im so so scared.
especially with whats happening in Palestine (May Allah help them).
theyre ENJOYING it. theyre SUPPORTING it. and they dare mock us for it?? and they think they're sooo right.
im TERRIFIED that they'd cheer and celebrate muslims being tortured. its just like what they did to the Sahabi long ago. NOTHING CHANGED. NOTHING CHANGED!!!! THEY TALK ABOUT HOW TIMES CHANGED AND HOW MODERN THE WORLD IS AND HOW ISLAM IS OUTDATED. NOTHING. CHANGED.

Hi. I've been on ketosis for about 2 weeks. Works fine, a lot of energy, good mood, exercise works well, etc. However, after my first meal of the day (lunch) I feel really bad, almost as I have fever. Low energy, creeping in the body, brain fog, etc. A couple of hours after the meal I feel better, but not really back to the morning feeling.

• What's the reason for this? Why after meals?
• Is this a sign of keto-flu? Can I expect this issue to be resolved when my body is more adapted to ketosis?

I’m currently finishing my junior year in Electrical Engineering at a state school (not a great one and most of the professors are mediocre) and I have the chance to start my masters during my senior year which would allow me to finish it 1 year earlier than probably anywhere else. I’m debating wether I should stick with that track, or finish my bachelor’s and go to a much better school; and if I do take that second route, are my chances any good at getting into a great school.
For some background, about a decade ago I went to college, majored in biology, and it did not go well. I wasted a lot time. I then joined the Navy for 6 years and worked as a nuclear tech on a sub. Shortly after I got out of the military, I got an awesome opportunity to work as a long term Product Development Engineer Intern at Intel while getting my degree. I was incredibly scared as my first day of school and and my first day as an intern were the same and I didn’t know if I could even manage it. By some miracle (or just the absolute fear that I’m going to be a failure) I’m at year 2 now, the internship is going great, I love the work and the people (for the most part), I have a 3.92 gpa (since I’ve been back in school and taking no summer course breaks) while averaging 40-50 hrs per week at work (with a solid list of projects under my belt), and for about half of those 2 years I was also a reservist in the Navy. However, given that I screwed the pooch so badly my first time in college, my cumulative gps as of right now is a 2.9.
With that in mind, would it be worth trying to go for a better school? Do I have a shot? Is getting the masters here, which I’m guaranteed to get into, a solid path, or could I been doing more?

So there were these two guys who for quite a few months were triggers of my ROCD, in the sense that I felt some attraction to them, we connected, and then came the doubts about my partner. I'm slowly doing some work on my ROCD with reading and therapy, and just the last couple of days I've noticed that now, seeing their posts on social media, for ex, gives me more negative feelings, something like aversion, annoyance.
One of them, who we've been good friends for years, suggested a plan, and after a short ROCD spin, I saw that I actually didn't feel like going. Seemed to reinforce the sense that those fantasy thoughts about him are just that, fantasy thoughts, and it's my partner who i want to spend time with. But then after that it's gone further, and now it's like annoying to think of meeting him.
PS: Just did some sort of ERP with the other one just now on IG, we had a short life update, and it felt fine. We connect, it's fine, I don't make it into a problem, and I wasn't irritated either.

We initiated Nuxt Starter AI with the goal of creating an application to streamline software processes and simplify the marketing of SaaS, AI tools, and web applications.
When we started, it felt like everything and everyone in the universe was advising us against it: There's no chance for you to compete in this space.
Of course, there were existing and very solid products on the market.
However, there was no product built with nuxt.js that provided foundational code for integrating AI tools and a marketing guide.
Nuxt Starter AI was created to address this need, offering solutions to nearly all the challenges in this regard.
We kept going & after 2 months of building, we launched. Then we started marketing our product with the marketing guide that we presented to you inside the product.
We made our first sale 3 days after the launch of our product.
In the 37 days since its launch, we've had 1877 impression, 202 signups, and a total of 35 sales, resulting in $6K in revenue.
We are delighted to have achieved this success when compared to other successful boilerplates on the market.
Our plan is to uphold our commitment to crafting a fast and well-crafted product.
Furthermore, we achieved these results for our product with zero marketing expenditure, relying entirely on an organic marketing strategy.
We value your feedback on our product. Take a look and let me know what you think: https://www.nuxtstarter.ai/

I am working as an English teacher for classes 8 to 12 in CBSE affiliated school.
I am a brand new teacher and this is my first job in a very very small school which also happens to be shitty. It's not even 1 month yet and just in two weeks I am devastated and more depressed and frustrated than ever. It's not just students, it's also other teachers who try to press me down. And I can't quit because I don't have the qualifications required for being a teacher and no other school would probably hire me. I was doing CA and was depressed out of my mind and now I am really anxious and frustrated and just on verge on breaking down.
All kids are from rural backgrounds and are present in this school because they failed in most subjects and classes and are not even near about good in studies. All and most kids are mannerless, fucking rude and so pathetic, entire onus lies on teachers itself. And they're highly indisciplined, don't know how to talk and girls especially act so fucking brazenly, nobody even from my own age group or anyone for that matter have acted this way with me ever. Yesterday 9th class girls literally shouted on me saying, "ye 4th period nhi hai! Aapka period nhi hai!" And believe me when I say this is nothing, one 12th class girl makes such faces when she sees me in corridors or even in class, she snatched away notebook from my hands when I was correcting her "capital letters in middle of word and she argued with me about repairs and repressing meaning same thing and being one word, she didn't know how to pronounce either one!" And she storms out of class while I am teaching and bangs the door of classroom so fucking loudly that I flinched for a second. And brazenly says that papa ka number diya hua hai na call karlo, koi dikkat hai toh! Pr mughe kuch mat bolo, mai idhar hi baithungi and aise hi.
I have done everything, been strict, called on principal, complained.. every fucking thing.
And just in beginning of 2nd week, many teachers started acting domineering. One of them called me at 9pm and told me to get something done and purchase it from my own money because that school is fucking broke. I don't mind that, but why should I when she's the one who's responsible for that work. She said many hurtful things to me and I replied and she ended up disconnecting when I said why this attitude with me. Then she kept of texting, after half an hour each, telling me to "better be polite!" And other shit, I ended up blocking her and didn't reply anything out of professional courtesy. Next thing was one male teacher started taunting me and what not and I took it all in when on third day too he didn't give up and was saying something in front of 3 other teachers and 1 student, I just gave him a piece of my mind and told him to not talk to me in that manner, he immediately backed off and started saying that he was talking to me but he meant all that for the sir who was also present in room. And I just left after that for my class. Since then all these teachers obviously have groupism thing going on and they actually so fucking passive aggressively and pay no heed when I asked a subject teacher have something to say about their class because they're class teachers. And I did have anything to do with others in that group.
But that's just not one issue, I am so devastated kind of, I spent entire night crying and because I couldn't sleep so I ended up taking my first leave. All children like I mentioned previously are from rural background and most of them, I mean the majority of them are so so fucking rude. I am at my wits ends with them. Earlier it was just 10th and 12th class and now even 9th is acting up and I am actually frightened that 11th has started from today.
TLDR : Shitty first job as a school teacher, where all kids are brazenly rude, mannerless and highly indisciplined. And fellow teachers are cheap, assholes, really difficult to work with.
PS: (I guess some of you might recognise or know me from previous post in which I made in which I mentioned a student from 12th class literally oggles at me and that makes a really uncomfortable, even yesterday same thing happened I wanted to call him out but as many of you suggested that I might be mistaken or to just ignore it. Sometimes it's just that they're teenagers and seeing a young female teacher can be.. so whatever it's very subtle and based on your advices I chose to ignore it while just mentioning it to principal once.)

Hello,
I'm currently interning at a medium-sized company that manufactures beds, and my job is to look into Warehouse Management System (WMS). Now, I'm not exactly a tech expert, but I'm trying to figure out how it could help us out.
So, here's the deal with our warehouse: it's kind of a mess. Stuff goes missing all the time, and it's a pain to find anything. We're still doing things the old-fashioned way, with no real system in place. It's like a game of hide and seek, but nobody's having any fun. They have 2 warehouse employees and a capacity of about 1900 pallets in their storage racks. Their solution: WMS-system.
What I would like for them is barcode labeling and scanner implementation to get more control over goods, and structuring the warehouse in SKU's. I would like software that could help with managing these SKU's and with barcoding.
I think a WMS would benefit the company. In order to future-proof this warehouse they need information about the warehousing of their goods, procurement is not very optimized either, a lot of old goods remain in the warehouse and there's no overview. Things I would like for the warehouse to optimise are:

• Insights of goods wareabouts and locations for improved orderpicking and putaway
• Insights about time spend and general information of goods in the warehouse for procurement optimization. (warehouse is full of goods that stay there for too long)
• digitalized receiving process and automization. Only 2 suppliers have barcodes that are compatible with the barcode scanner.
• I hoped to get control over inventory accuracy but this is difficult due to their current process using; this is explained later.

Now problems with a WMS are:

• Vendors are not sure about integration. I was looking at ERP integration but I am not sure, we use Exact Globe + which I've heard causes problems. Vendors estimate thousands to 10.000+ euros for implementation only. Now i'm not sure is implementation even necessery? (One vendor told about using CVC files and FTP-server but this is not my expertise). Is standalone better option?
• WMS is also for intventory accuracy but it's not compatible with our current system. We currently write off used goods when producsts are manufactured and when invoice is send using recipes/BOM's. Even though its open warehouse and everyone can take what they need (leading to many inventory discrepancies), this process itself seems very fool proof :')
• We do not need all the WMS functionalities but we would like to get more control over our goods. Information about whereabouts for orderpicking and putaway, also information about goods for procurement.
• Quality of barcoding from suppliers I am not sure about, can this just be fixed with barcode printers and scanners? They have one barcode scanner but this is only compatible with 2 suppliers.

I would like a WMS solution but I am not sure if it's the best solution and I have trouble finding solutions that would help with supporting the improvements I think would really benefit the company. I am worried about advising a WMS solution because of the problems that could arise with ERP and their current processes, possibly increasing costs by A LOT. The company is not that big, less than 100 employees. I am worried that their current processes are not really compatible with WMS systems, the budget is not enormous, one vendor offered for 40k+ >2k yearly costs but I find this pricy.
I would really appreciate if someone can help, it feels like a mess and I find trouble navigating through it.

One of my few post that i share on reddit, but this problem is affecting our relationship in last couple of months quite a bit.
A bit of background....i was a professionall football player till 21 years old, had from 16 to 21 very bad mindset about things in life, ( parties, drugs, girls) searched only for short term fun without any goals in life or concentration on present moment and what needs to be done to sustain life i was living.
Im now 30 years old, moved to another country to start from scratch more or less...reading mindset and goal oriented books has helped me much about how to look on life. Im now working and playing football to have 2 seperate incomes which are okey to get by and save some.
My spouse, i love her very much. She is down to earth person, she is direct, helpfull, caring and many other things. She lack motivation to improve herself in any way.
When we started living together back in the days we talked about long term goal = that we do in our life what we will be happy to do, this we both meant:
-To work normal job that we at least a bit enjoy and is payed okey

• To have our bussiness that we will enjoy leading ( for me football trainer, for her nails, makeup)
  
• to invest in some way long, short term and hopefully be financial in better way so we can make living easier.
  
• to have as much as possible free time to raise kids in future and to enjoy free time off work ( our own schedule or at least together work free days to go somwhere to ease minds.
  

I do consider myself last couple of years to do "hard" things that will benefit us in a long term. Ofcourse could invest more time, but better some than none i guess.
My week is like this:
-work Monday-Friday
-football trainings 3x per week + weekend game

• 6 times per week gym
  
• free time pc games, movies with spouse, reading books, going for a walk, chilling listening to music.
  

My goal is to be in future football trainier at club or to be individual trainer for players who want to try to become pro.
2nd goal to be fitness coach for recreatives, in best way to open in future own studio and can help people become fit ( workouts, streching, massages)
Girlfriend :
Is currently at home for a year now, which we both agreed and we like it that she dont need to go to work at some company that she will hate. She dont yet speak language that is used where we currently alive... So work she would like to do would be hard to find and also we have stable income and for now enough money that she can be at home. She is not lazy.
The problem we have in last months is that she cant understand really when we talk about concept "do things that are hard now, that in future will be easier" or dont just go past the day with short term fun ( mobile games, food, tv, sex, buying things online, planing vacations).
From time to time i remind her about our goal and what for example she did towards this goal for us in last month. Trying to explain that mobile games every morning and searching things online to buy, are free time things that should be done moderate while other things that can help heus in future are not even focused on.
Problem that i see in her is that anything that is now enjoyable ( cleaning the house, going for a walk/run/fitness, read a book, water the garden, clean the dishes etc,) are things just to be done quick as possible and then return to enjoyable things.
The worst thing is when i try to be direct with her and try to explain that what she do most of the days brings no benefit to us, also im direct that i dont want that she over push herself, but once twice in a month she could do something for our goals, or at least ask me something about this, tips help, she could suggest something or just that we talk about some things that we can improve in any way.
When i come home from training or work is just lets watch movie, lets cuddle, lets play cards etc. ( fun things)
Last time i asked about why in last month or two didnt do any workout besides going for a walk to my training place ( 25min away), the answer i got is why i dont suggest to go hill hiking once or 2 per month???
So the problem is when i confront her sometimes if she is even willing to do for herself/us something beneficial long term is always comming to an end where im the bad person and insult her that she is nothing.
And thats far from my point, i try to explain that from nothing we get nothing, not that she is 0 and im hero.
We both are in normal situated life right now but like from our goal is to rise above working level and do things that only gets you by.
Couple days ago the argument finished with me saying: I dont see myself with person who only looks for fun and easy things and dont even understand the concept of what to do in present to be better someday( in a year or 20 years)
Answer was from her: i also dont like to be with person who says im 0 all the time.
Please share some answer or your point on view on this, i appreciate it.
TLDR: Spouse seems to not understand without thinking that i insult her, when trying to explain that some things we dont want to in the present do is neccessary for long term goals.

UID ACCOUNT: 589568262
Good day.
My case is that my account was hacked and I don't know how.
I haven't logged into my PUBG Mobile account for some 2 years and I recently received an email telling me that a phone number from the country of Uzbekistan has been added to the account. I always used my account in the North America - Dominican Republic region and now it appears in Uzbekistan. When I accessed the account for a few minutes I realized that the account had already been in use for 4 months by another person whom I never authorized access to.
To test the authenticity of the account a little, I have access to the email that I linked to the account at the beginning, which is the email isaigonzalezruiz9@gmail.com and I have never changed it.
I also have the Facebook with which I linked the account to which I will attach some images of the accounts, both email and Facebook and also some Google Play invoices from some purchases I made on 11/21/2021.

Thank you and have a good day.

So a few nights ago I go over to hang out with one of my friends after work, it's me, her, and her 17 year old daughter.
From the moment I got there I could tell there was some sort of tension between the two of them but neither one of them was really mentioning anything going on.
After about 20 minutes of putting up with the weird awkward tension I finally just ripped the band-aid off and asked what the hell was going on between the two of them.
Mom: she's mad at me because "She broke her phone" and I won't replace it for her.
Daughter: I didn't break my phone... My phone got broken, that's not the same thing.
Mom: whichever...
Daughter: no, not whichever, those are completely different things. How would you like it if you got rear-ended at a traffic light and I went around telling people that you wrecked your car?
Me: she's not wrong.
Daughter: she's acting like I did this on purpose, I've had that phone forever and it's never had so much as a scratch.
Me: you have had that phone a long time... Wasn't that like an iPhone 7?
Daughter: no, it was actually an iPhone 6, I got it when I was in fifth grade.
(She's a senior in high school now)
Me: I could probably find you a decent phone online for a good price if you want me to look.
Daughter: I shouldn't have to look for a new phone, her old phone is sitting upstairs doing nothing.
Me: Wait... That's right, didn't you just upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy s21 to a Galaxy s24?
Mom: yeah.
Me: was there something wrong with the s21?
Daughter: no, there's nothing wrong with it, she just doesn't want me to have it for some reason.
Me: what are you doing with the old s21?
Daughter: she's not doing anything with it, it's sitting in a drawer in her bedroom collecting dust while I'm sitting down here with no phone.
Me: why not just let her have your old phone? What good does it do to have it sit in a drawer and collect dust until it becomes obsolete?
Mom: I'm keeping it as backup.
Me and the daughter both give her the side eye
Me: really? ... Did you ever need your S8 again when you got the s21? Or the S5 when you got the S8? Or the S2 when you got the S5?
Mom: she'd still have a phone if she took better care of it.
Me: are you fucking serious?? She's had that phone for like half her life, it's never so much as had a scratch on it before this happened.
Mom: you know what, this isn't even any of your business.
Daughter: I'd bet you'd think it was his business if he was taking your side right now.
Mom: you shut your mouth.
Me: HEY.... There's no need to get nasty with her.
Mom: you can shut your mouth too.
Me: you can fuck straight the hell off, you're pissed off because you're being a selfish bitch and got called out for it.
Yeah... Needless to say this was pretty much the end of the night and I left.
So am I the asshole for siding with her daughter over her?
