2024.05.29 04:44 smalbean05 Anyone else been humbled by a tilt test?

I (21 F) have had POTS symptoms since I was 10 years old but wasn’t officially diagnosed until today. My previous cardiologist said I had “pot like symptoms” but never found out what type etc. I am mobile for the most part (I also have EDS) and for the majority of my life have learned to live with the symptoms. That being said, I thought my symptoms were very mild if not non-existent. Me and my ego thought I wouldn’t pass out during the tilt test because I stand all the time, right? Boy was I wrong 😂😂😂. It’s funny how much we subconsciously compensate but when we cant any more all hell breaks loose.

2024.05.29 04:36 ASleepyOtaku_ Same voice actors

Fun fact.
So I was watching dr stone, and because of all the fast paced science yap I had to swap over to dub. At first I considered going back until I heard a specific characters voice, that character being Chrome. It immediately clicked that I recognised the voice as Hiro (DITF), so I searched it up and funny enough, both characters are voiced by Matt Shipman.

2024.05.29 04:29 Krixwell Homebrew Outsider: Mannequin

"I want to pick *points* this player and *points* that pl— oh wait, that's just a mannequin in similar clothes."
Mannequin (Outsider): Once per night, when a player chooses a player, they might register as choosing you instead, if legal. You then learn the real chosen player.
The Mannequin quietly takes the place of one player in up to one choice each night.

Jinx

I don't know why you'd do this as an ST, but the Butler ability doesn't work unless the Butler knows who they're choosing and why, so it needs a jinx.

Examples

The Monk chooses to protect the Fortune Teller. The Mannequin is protected instead, and learns the Fortune Teller's name.
The Fortune Teller chooses the Imp and the Soldier. The Fortune Teller receives a no. The Mannequin wakes to learn the Imp's name.
If the picker chooses multiple players, the Mannequin only replaces one of them, and only learn the one they replaced.
The Vigormortis chooses to kill the Sage. The Mannequin dies instead, and does not learn the Sage's name.
The second part of the ability never resolves because the Mannequin lost the ability partway through.
The Alchemist Poisoner chooses to poison the No Dashii. The Mannequin is poisoned instead, and may or may not learn a player's name.
This poison does not undo the "choice" of the Mannequin instead of the No Dashii. The poison does however come into effect before the Mannequin would be told who was really picked, so they may learn the wrong player or nothing at all.
The Alchemist Devil's Advocate chooses the Poppy Grower. The Mannequin is protected from execution. The next night, the Alchemist Devil's Advocate chooses themself. The Mannequin cannot replace this, because the ADA would have chosen them two nights in a row. (The ADA could also legally have chosen the Poppy Grower.)
"if legal" prevents the Mannequin from being "chosen" by a character that shouldn't be able to choose them tonight.
The Lunatic chooses to "attack" the Ravenkeeper. The Mannequin learns the Ravenkeeper's name. The Lleech learns that the Lunatic chose the Mannequin. The Lleech follows suit and kills the Mannequin.

Why does it learn?

Even working only once per night, this seems like it would be a rather destructive form of misregistry, likely enough that most players with this ability would self-nominate day 1.
But I also want getting rid of the Mannequin to be a valid option for the good team, for the same reason. Thus, no "even if dead".
So how do we keep it from being unfun to stay alive longer than necessary?
The information part of the ability is a carrot for the Mannequin. If the Mannequin can work out who was affected, it can be used to reverse engineer how and why the ability was used, and facilitate some amount of confirmation between the Mannequin and players whose abilities were redirected.
It also acts as a balancing measure against STs using the ability in certain overly punishing ways.
For example, imagine you're the Mannequin in the Fortune Teller example above, and you manage to connect with the Fortune Teller. Hmmm, kind of interesting that the Storyteller used the ability to redirect an FT's pick away from the Imp player, isn't it? That's arguably more suspicious than an FT yes on its own, considering the existence of the red herring mechanic and the ambiguity of which of the two players is giving off the yes. But only if the FT and the Mannequin are able to trust each other.
This also makes it potentially useful for ST's to occasionally use the Mannequin ability even when it wouldn't actually change the result, for evil players to bluff having picked the player the Mannequin is claiming to have learned, or for Minions to bluff being the Mannequin (wouldn't recommend it for Demons without a backup life).
In short, I think the Mannequin learning who they replaced is far more interesting for everyone involved, including the Mannequin themself. It gives the Mannequin something to do while alive and a chance to mitigate or even utilize the damage their ability does without necessarily sacrificing an execution and a good player's democratic powers.

Interactions

Townsfolk
Outsiders
Minions
Many Minion interactions are more likely to be relevant to an Alchemist than to the actual Minion, because this is an Outsider and should ideally be used to interfere with good more than evil. As such, I will treat the Minions below alignment-agnostically unless otherwise noted, with good ones probably being Alchemists.
Demons
Demons in general (with a couple exceptions) can have their kills redirected to the Mannequin. This is mostly useful if they were about to kill a landmine character.
Travelers
Most Travelers can't be affected by the Mannequin because they either don't make picks or pick in the daytime.

2024.05.29 04:28 Technocrat1011 She calls me Angel

So, just a feel good post, cause I think sometimes we need one. TL;DR: My partner has fully embraced my kintype, and may even have an angel fetish?
My partner of 15 years has known for almost all of our relationship about my angelic connection, but in early November last year, we ended up having a talk about me being on Otherkin here, and came to an abrupt realization that I am an angel. Since then, she's taken to calling me "Angel" as a pet name, and has realized that she reads/watches a lot of angel-themed fiction, including Supernatural and several series of books featuring angel characters. The past few months she's discovered the world of Supernatural fanfic, and regularly sends me screemshots of bits she's reading with little notes like "look, other angels do it too." It's cute, and funny to me, and I thought I'd just share something nice.

2024.05.29 04:23 GrownUpGirlScout June 13th, I Can See You, Mean, and Taylor Starting a Fire in Liverpool? PART TWO-ICSY Video and Taylor's Selves Escaping and Setting Fire to her Past

June 13th, I Can See You, Mean, and Taylor Starting a Fire in Liverpool? PART TWO-ICSY Video and Taylor's Selves Escaping and Setting Fire to her Past
In part one, I discussed my theory that the music video for Mean featured characters who were representations of either Taylor herself or explorations of her personal experiences with being bullied by mean people.
With that in mind, I think the video for I Can See You is a continuation on that idea and theme, as well as a easter egg for a resolution to the story Taylor is telling.
In the I Can See You video, the first character we are able to fully see is Presley Cash. She has 3 stars drawn on her cheek, a direct connection to her character in the Mean music video, who was working as a "star" at a diner.
https://preview.redd.it/yjsytt34883d1.png?width=1469&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5601419d3926dac8433f552d975946b0f6db26c
When Presley Cash came out on stage after the premier of the video, she was wearing an outfit featuring sequin stars.
https://preview.redd.it/9gcdb8wi883d1.png?width=1201&format=png&auto=webp&s=887c26701351cb1bdc0b786fe60bc9c167f48e67
Also of note? Presley Cash's birthday is June 13!!! This past December she posted on instagram a behind the scenes "photo" (its one still image, but it has a video transition sort of filter over it, and the song playing during it is ME!) from the video shoot on Taylor's birthday saying "it’s a “blondies born on the 13th kind of thing”. The hashtags on the photo include #mastermind, #gemini, #sagittarius, #June 13, #December 13, and #twinning. Sagittarius (the archer, Taylor's sign) is a fire sign while Gemini (the twins, Presley's sign) is an air sign. Fire needs air to burn...
https://preview.redd.it/5p9ppgy5b83d1.png?width=1370&format=png&auto=webp&s=d40ef2616553e6260d17f9bfecfdc07518cde90e
Next, we are finally able to see a clear shot of Joey King as she is working on breaking into the vault.
https://preview.redd.it/f0h1xfswb83d1.png?width=1533&format=png&auto=webp&s=85e12e58dcf4a6f3c5cfab8ecb6e66a18a0b5627
She gets through the security lasers, makes it to the "Speak Now Museum" outside of the vault and is joined by Taylor Lautner, who jumps down from the ceiling.
https://preview.redd.it/3ro0j6kec83d1.png?width=1493&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc61fb6e2e59dfedcbec86c013d5f0b01bda261a
They walk through the "museum" while Taylor paces back and forth inside her vault. There are A LOT of pieces, all from the Speak Now era, but all from different contexts. There are set pieces from her Speak Now tour, there are clothes from tour, clothes from award shows, musical instruments, outfits from press and media and music videos.
King and Lautner are walking together through these artifacts and they come to the dress Joey King wears in the Mean music video. Inside the case with the dress, there is a photo of King with Swift as a child, and there's a moment where Lautner and King are acknowledging one another and acknowledging a connection to this moment from the past. In this shot, you can see that the 4 outfits prominently featured are all from the Mean music video-train track Taylor's dress, the dress she wore with her hair braided and her band, then the dress she wore when she finally performs for King at the end of the video. Buuuut, King's dress is pretty much the only outfit in the entire "museum" Taylor did not wear herself during this time period. She could have included it just as a nod to King being in the video, but then it's a little odd to me she didn't include any other costumes worn by other people in her music videos? I think it's a way of pointing out how the girl from the Mean video is a notable part of Taylor's personal history from this time.
https://preview.redd.it/hbmdv7d7e83d1.png?width=1502&format=png&auto=webp&s=73b5faf69fef103d9950b4b378a5cd99ba8e5087
There seems to be only one other outfit in the museum which was probably not worn by Taylor herself and the clearest view of it is off to the side of King's dress when we see the picture of her inside the dress display.
https://preview.redd.it/mxpz1ar1g83d1.png?width=2651&format=png&auto=webp&s=cedb448965fba077b9ee62ac7f3fb2189b31b335
I've seen some different ideas of what the outfit might be-some theories it may be the outfit the boy in the Back to December video is wearing and other theories about it being an outfit Taylor was photographed wearing during that era. But I wonder if it might actually be this outfit, the suit worn by the "bullied young boy" from the Mean music video.
https://preview.redd.it/pcltbyw2h83d1.png?width=2268&format=png&auto=webp&s=ca6707c1bd456e0860de903e6ea3483d7bcbefa1
It's VERY difficult to see clearly what that outfit is but to me it would make a lot of sense for it to be the suit the "bullied young boy" wears. One-because it would be a nod to an important character in that music video, who otherwise goes somewhat oddly unacknowledged in I Can See You. Two-It would, I think, establish more strongly the link between the "characters" from Mean being being versions of Taylor because they are the only pieces in the museum we see which Taylor did not wear (or use) herself. I think they're meant to be a stronger visual clue than just outfits which happened to be in her music video-because why would those be the ONLY other non-Taylor worn outfits featured? And why did she SPECIFICALLY want to draw us back to Mean at all in I Can See You? I did not see any outfits worn by Presley Cash in the museum, which I was surprised by because I kind of expected it. But, then I began to wonder if--the version of Taylor who is a "star" isn't stuck in this past, isn't stuck in the vault? That version of Taylor she portrayed in the Mean video-the girl whose peers try to come after her and dull her shine, who gets smarter, who goes to the city and works hard, she is already free-and that's why she is the one coordinating the escape? I dunno. But I think it was certainly an intentional choice.
So I mentioned in the last part that I find it notable and interesting that Taylor chose to cast Taylor Lautner in this video. While yes, the video is general-Speak Now-era heavy, she is still FOR SURE drawing our attention to Mean. Instead of speculating on why the original actor who played "bullied young boy" wasn't cast, I'm going to speculate on why Taylor Lautner WAS.
1-I think she wanted the roles of the original Mean "characters" and those versions of herself/that story to be featured and called back upon, and so she wanted the 4th character to be included and she wanted the 4th character to be male. I don't think that Lautner is supposed to be the "adult" version of the boy from the Mean video necessarily, but I think he's supposed to be a stand in for someone who represents a part of Taylor which was bullied and ridiculed for her relationships choices (both public and private) during that time, specifically. I also think it's a bit of a Theylor thing, making the intentional choice to cast a "part" of herself as a man-as a way of expressing herself while throwing people off the idea that she may be identifying with that particular part of the story is a very Taylor thing to do.
2-His name is Taylor and she REALLY likes to point out the "Taylor? Taylor? Taylor? Which one's the real Taylor!?" of it all, as illustrated in the meme she posted on Instagram when announcing the video. Swift, Lautner, and his wife (also named Taylor) recreated the classic Spider-Man meme where a bunch of spider men are pointing at one another, trying to figure out who is the real Spider Man. In the caption of the instagram post she writes "Tale of 3 Taylors". Hmmmmm. Which 3 Taylors is she telling the tale of? She cast someone who would specifically make the narrative of the video "Taylor rescues Taylor from vault where she is being held hostage."
https://preview.redd.it/hwxysw2pr83d1.png?width=1235&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a2b8eb544fe37ed321498c333ef864701641bcf
3-I think Taylor Lautner is a big honking arrow pointing at the PR-meta aspects of Taylor's past. I personally don't think Taylor Lautner was a beard, but I absolutely believe he was a PR relationship. I think casting him points people back towards this and maybe gets them thinking about WHY he of everyone she's "dated" is someone with whom there's never really been any hint of animosity. And if she got along with him so well and still seems to get along with him well, why does no one ever speculate she's still singing about him being the one who got away? Casting him in this and inviting him to the stage during tour and inviting his wife to tour and being friendly with them all seems to cement him VERY firmly in the Speak Now era, as well as pre-empting possible speculation, knowing her next release is going to invite a TON of speculation.
As the music video continues King and Lautner break into the Vault where Taylor is being held. Vault Taylor's behavior throughout the video is interesting as well. She is waiting, she is anticipating, she is preparing. She isn't trying to get out. She sits on a bench lounging and looking at the walls where there are hash marks either counting up or counting down the days. She carefully uncovers her music on the wall. She listens for her rescuers. When they finally arrive, she looks relieved and happy to see them, but she doesn't seem surprised necessarily. But also, she also very obviously KNOWS them and TRUSTS them immediately. Knows and trusts them enough to rescue her. Knows and trusts them enough to follow them into gunfire.
https://preview.redd.it/qzsetls9z93d1.png?width=1979&format=png&auto=webp&s=b25dcb13b60bbc4c3044bca3b0b7d5093a5b0e7a
I don't think it's completely outside the realm of possibility that it's meant to be seen as her knowing and trusting Taylor Lautner (her ex boyfriend-he is as far as it seems supposed to be playing "himself" in this video?) and Joey King. But then, who is King supposed to be? The actress who played a character in one of her music videos over ten years ago? Or that "character" now grown? Maybe she was and still is supposed to be a representation of Taylor's fans but...I dunno. It makes a lot more sense to me for it to be a moment of Taylor recognizing parts of her self or even metaphorical parts of her past, and that being the reason she trusts them. Taylor has made it VERY clear that she sees herself as always ending up alone in a battle and feeling as if she's the only one she can trust.

With Speak Now (TV) already in hand (again, as if she was ready to go, anticipating a rescue) the three run from the building while ducking bullets as the glass surrounding the artifacts of Speak Now shatter.

Presley Cash flips a switch that begins an explosion just as the three exit the building. I again think this is a subtle indication of Taylor's trust of the people involved in this heist, that she seems to know and accept that in order to escape she HAS to blow up some of the most deeply personal parts of her history. An indication that they are people she trusts COMPLETELY to get her and her music (the most important part of her past) out safely. Again, I think the only person Taylor truly trusts to pull this off is herself.

Taylor gives the building where she has been held captive one last look, and her companions yell for her to get into the van.

I believe ALL of this is connected to the upcoming 100th show on June 13 in Liverpool. I think I Can See You set up an entire premise that something is going to happen in Liverpool that is going to destroy the public image of her past. She and her music are going to escape, but all of these memories that WE recognize of HER also have to be lost in order for that to happen.
She just KEEPS using all of this burning, exploding, destructive imagery-but what has she burned down? As far as the public narrative goes, Taylor's plans to re-claim her music has not had to include a total and compete destruction of anything. It started off as a very risky move, but by the time this video was filmed I think it was clear Taylor's entire re-record project was going to be a huge success-she even uses the final shots to tease the next one, further indicating that she had a Plan with this video.
The Liverpool Film Office has a post talking about Taylor filming the video. It includes a list of locations which gives even more evidence that Taylor was very thoughtful about where she chose to film this video in particular.
  • Cunard Building -(connections to Zoe Kravitz and also a shameless plug to my own post about how I think Nancy Cunard and the modernist movement are big inspirations for TTPD)
  • Water Street-(this street is RIGHT in the middle of Canary Wharf. During Taylor's most recent beach outing with Travis she was wearing a Canary Striped swimsuit, there are also numerous other connections to bird in a cage imagery in Taylor's work, so it's interested she included Canary Wharf in a music video about escaping.)
  • Regent Road-(didn't necessarily find anything about this one?)
  • St George’s Hall-(this one I think is really funny and the thing that absolutely convinced me None of if Was Accidental-St. George is a saint who is known for slaying a dragon, lol. Here's the wiki page if you want to read more about the story. The building is currently displaying a rather large Taylor Swift sign in honor of her upcoming show)
  • Former Natwest Bank, Castle Street (also didn't really find anything for this one)
I don't think the slaying of the dragon or the blowing up of the past is going to necessarily entirely happen in Liverpool-but I think she's going to announce something. I think eventually, whatever she announces is going to be seen as the first step towards TRULY reclaiming herself and her music, as well as the moment she started the fire that's going to burn down her image as we knew it. In other words-is she about to take the first official step towards reclaiming her name and her reputation?
ANYWAY.
Thanks all for clowning around with me a bit on this. =)
Truly Taylor's burning, exploding, escaping, destroying imagery takes up a TON of space in my brain and it just keeps getting more and more intense and the countdown is getting closer and closer and yeah. I can't stop making connections!!!! And I'm very excited to see what the rest of this year brings!!!!!!

2024.05.29 04:16 ErdeKaiserFury How do I meet guys that are (for lack of a better term) not normies?

For context, I am 23. I have had a few relationships; my last serious one was when I was 20/21. I don't particularly identify with the "stereotype of gay men," while also not identifying with what it means to be a "bro," either. If I were to reduce every person's complex personalities down into simple archetypes, I would say I mostly align with the off-the-wall 4chan type of individuals. Online a lot, likes anime and other nonsense, has a fucked up sense of humor (no I don't just think slurs are xd funny), and is interested in weird niche internet inside jokes. It's hard to explain, but I think you can get the vibe. This personality type does not typically pair well with most gay men, as being socially aware is more common than not, and thinking jokes about low functioning autistic people or lolcows are funny is a big no-no. Most of the people that I meet that share this sense of humor are straight/bi men. Of the ones that are actually into men, they are looking for femboys/twinks-- which I am not.
I have had absolutely zero luck meeting guys IRL, on apps, and in online communities. I'm not ugly, and know that pretty securely. If I download an app, I can get 200-300 likes in a single day in the city I am in. If I go to the club, someone will come up to me and talk to me. The problem is that I attract people that I am not interested in; I am not interested in non-binary individuals, I am not attracted to those that describe their interests as some form of "gym, brunch, traveling", and I am not interested in twinks that do make-up or drag.
I understand that maybe I am perhaps being too shallow, but I don't logistically see the point in dating someone if you don't have any overlapping interests and you don't find them attractive. I would much rather just have a platonic friendship with someone that does have overlap with my interests than forcing myself to "keep an open mind" and enter into some weird pseudo-romantic situation with someone I have no attraction to.
Idk. I feel lost and like I am searching for something I will never find.

2024.05.29 03:57 DaemonSaDiavlo [Online][Alien][Other][Weekly] Looking for 1 player to play the Alien TTRPG Saturdays 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM EST

Good evening! Or morning/afternoon depending on your time zone. You can call me Dae, and I am a 34 year old DM looking to recruit 1 more playes for a game using the Alien TTRPG published by Free League. I recruited a group of players off of lfg a few weeks back. We held a session 0, and have gottne through most of the introductory scenario. Unfortunately one player had to drop from the game, so I am opening recruitment again so we can find our fifth. I am looking for one person who would be interested in running through all 3 cinematic Scenarios (Chariot of the Gods, Destroyer of Worlds & Heart of Darkness) that make up the Draconis Strain trilogy.
You might be wondering at this point how familiar one must be with both the system and the setting to apply. Mechanically, it's 100% fine to have no experience with Alien or any Free League TTRPGS. Its also fine if you are an expert, and have already played or run these scenarios (so long as you can enjoy it and not spoil the surprises for anyone else). The rules are quite light, same with any of the Year Zero systems published by Free League, and very easy to learn. Having seen at least the original Alien and Aliens is nearly essential for anyone interested in the game, as the rules and tone directly follow what was established in them. What is unique about Alien, and the scenarios that I wish to run, is that they are run using a set of guidance from within the game going for what the publishers describe as a ‘cinematic’ feel.
Pulling directly from the core rules, cinematic play is described as follows:
A Cinematic scenario emulates the dramatic arc of an ALIEN film. Designed to be played in a single session, this game mode emphasizes high stakes and fast and brutal play. Conflict between player characters is likely, and you are not all expected to survive. In fact, most of your PCs probably won’t live to see the end of the scenario.
The scenarios nail the feeling of the franchise. Horror, desperation, anxiety and dread run rampant as your characters will attempt to survive a terrifying situation thrust upon them. All while trying to accomplish their own personal agendas which may place them at odds with each other. This mode is not designed with players creating their own characters in mind, but rather assuming the role of one of the pre-generated characters and breathing life into them, following the agenda assigned and really making them their own.
The 3 scenarios that make of the Draconis Strain will all likely take 3-7 sessions each. They should present an interesting mixture of RP, intrigue, danger and horror fun.
Quick Game Bullet Points
When it comes to my style of DMing, I would like to think that I am well rounded and player focused. I have run long term games in 3.5E, 5E, Pathfinder 1E & 2E, SW EDGE, World of Darkness and several games using various cortex systems. My emphasis has been, and always will be, on player enjoyment. To me the players are the main characters of the story and deserve to be elevated as such. The tales I tell always attempt to treat the players and their characters as a focal point. I'd like to think that over the years of running games I've found the right balance of preparing material for sessions and being able to create and tell a story on the fly for when things go off the rail.
I do want to emphasize that this is a horror TTRPG. Blood, guts, and terrifying spectacles abound. If you are not comfortable with body horror, extreme violence, and the fraying of ones sanity this might not be the game for you. Similarly, the game in its cinematic mode has a very high lethality. This is expected and something all should be prepared for (death of a PC doesn’t mean the end of your role either, as there are plenty of NPCS just waiting in the wings for just such an occasion).
It's integral to the success of these stories that you engage with them. These are not designed for the sandbox style of gameplay. Players who are resistant to engaging with horror, who simply want to stay in their cabins and avoid any and all risk, will not do well. Knowing that there is a line between character reluctance (“Damn Yutani corpo bloodsucker. I’ll investigate the site but I better be paid a fortune for it”) and player reluctance will be a vital component to having a good time. Like any good horror movie, you need to accept that your characters will routinely be thrust into situations of high danger. Its all part of the story and the fun.
Thanks for reading and happy gaming!

2024.05.29 03:57 Thin-Employment-2319 I told him I miss him

21 F, he (23 M) still follows me on Instagram. I just realized it was exactly 5 months since we broke up. We've only exchanged messages 2 twice since then (only on IG). The first was to wish me a happy birthday, nothing more. I replied with a thank you. Second, I posted some pics on my story and he replied asking if I now model, I said kinda and asked how he was doing. He said okay and asked me the same thing and I replied saying just hanging in there. Then he sent a DM 2 days ago (funny thing, I was also thinking about him and had a strong feeling that he might message for no reason) He was asking about my story again ( I posted pics from a trip). I should also mention he always views my stories like he is always the first to view my stories. So, I responded with a joke about how he didn't even bother ask how I was doing before asking about my trip. He asked where I went for the trip and I told him. He then responded with haha to my joke and then asked how I was doing. I said fine and asked him the same, he said good. I then replied telling him "I have been missing you". I told him that I just wanted to let him know and it was not a big deal (like I don't want to get back together). He then replied with an "Aw" and a heart emoji. He then said he had been thinking of me and the times we spent together last summer. It was a good time. I still miss him and I knew it was going to be okay to let him know that. He is a great guy and he made me very comfortable sharing my feelings.

2024.05.29 03:49 Silver-Summer-1105 FPS and latency trouble since after the DDOS attacks

Hello dear FFXIV Community. I have a problem where my end of my windows and technical knownledge are reached. Since after the long DDOS attacks from FFXIV, I have the problem that my FPS goes down (and render latency goes high) when I logging into the game. In the menu and character selection my graphic card have without fps limiter the highest potential (In the task manager I see it goes up to 100% how it should be without fps limit). Even in the character selection. But in this moment where my char are connected to the world and loads into the world the fps goes very unstable between 70-21 fps. Out of any cities like residentials areas, Open world (not cities) dungeons. It is stable between 120-109 (but before the problem as well stable on 120) but as soon as I entering any cities the fps goes down. Much worse it is in the golden saucer, I am not able to play stuff like cliffhanger or other non gc-duty events. Before the problem happens I had always stable 120 fps (ok not limsa but that is know of course) don't matter where I was.
My deskop speci:
System-OS: Windows 11 Enterprise 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor (32 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Motherboard: MSI Meg x570 ace
graphic card: Nvidia RTX 4090
RAM: 64gb
I play FFXIV on 4K on 120 fps what are absolutely fine before the problem occours.
On the funny way my notebook have the same problem with an rtx 2060 and a intel core processor.
What do I did already for fixing this problem by myself?
Use reshade? No
Use any Mods? No
I tried already:
Reinstalled graphic drivers. (I used DDU of course) and reinstalled a older version, removed nvidia geforce experience, removed nvidia app, removed nvidia control panel.
(Information any single graphic setting in the game and in the nvidia app and control panel I have switched. the same problem occours. Yes even with fullscreen, window borderless and window option was not working. play it on 800x600, same problem stays, yes even g-synch I switched on and off)
I reinstalled amd chipset driver. I reinstalled windows 11, I downloaded the game files again through the official launcher. I switched the drive. I tried it directly after I installed windows 11 new. I switched from DirectX11 to vulkan. I tried a lot of windows 11 settings (like game mode on and off, set powerplan to high end.) I disabled any "overlay stuff" like nvidia, windows x-box/game-bar.
My notebook have windows 10 and exactly the same problem. After asking a lot of people around I was notice I am a single case. No anyone seems to have the problem like me. I even used network analytics for find any a possible connection issue but nothing. My hardware are not broken so far. I used 3D Benchmark for cpu and the graphiccard (for cpu only cinebench R24) I used Dawntrail Benchmark and the scores on maximum settings for 4k was "very high score". Everythings from what my hardware can do are absolutely fine.
The funny things comes now. Always when I load into the world and everything goes worse. My graphic card sleeps on load 20%. Even all of my cores are sleeping (of course the 4 corse gets a load, but this is more sleeping then overload) I don't understand it anymore. How comes as long as I don't enter any world the load of cpu and my graphic cards can go to 100%, but as soon as I entering the world it goes down to 20% and does nothing anymore? (with the fps limiter in-game well.. This option just don't work even I put it on 29 fps it don't work, on nvidia panel this limiter works and I had always it on 120 fps even I turn it now off nothing changes happens)
If anyone have any idea I would be happy for help, then after 2 weeks of troubleshooting. I am on the end of my techical knownledge :(

2024.05.29 03:48 Sloth_4 My top 10 Ghibli characters

Everyone’s been posting their top 10 movies and tierlists and whatnot so I thought it’d be fun to do character instead
Runner ups: Lisa (Ponyo), Totoro and Mei (My Neighbor Totoro), Bella Yaga (Earwig and the Witch), Baron (The Cat Returns), Turnip Head (Howl’s Moving Castle), Dola (Castle in the Sky), Arren (Tales from Earthsea) and Porco (Porco Rosso).
  1. Cob (Tales from Earthsea). He carried the movie. He’s got a really cool and deep motive, amazing design, amazing voice and voice actor, and is just a really sick character overall. He’s my favorite Ghibli villain even though he comes from a subpar movie. William Dafoe kills it and I love how eerie and dark he really is.
  2. Setsuko (Grave of the Fireflies). Setsuko was absolutely adorable. Her innocence and pure childlike wonder won me over. Watching her spiral down into poor health and condition and finally her death is devastating as right after her death you’re reminded of how innocent, harmless, and childlike she was. She’s the perfect example of how children are victims of war.
  3. Kamaji (Spirited Away). On a lighter note, Kamaji is pure cool uncle vibes. He’s subtle character development and how he sticks up for Chihiro is really amazing. He design is top tier as well. He’s the most comforting thing from my nightmares
  4. Natoru (The Cat Returns). I knew as soon as he came on screen I would love him. He’s so naive and sweets and means no harm lol. I just want to protect him from the world so no one hurts him. Also just look him up at stare at him for a bit. I can guarantee your mood will improve.
  5. Menowarawa (The Tale of the Princess Kaguya). She’s so precious. She stands a bunch because she literally just looks like a hamburger bun with a face and I love it. She gives massive Isabelle from animal crossing vibes and you can tell how much she cares for Kaguya. She’s got a lot of layers and I was pretty disappointed to see how little she’s talked about.
  6. Ponyo (Ponyo). This is the cutest, most adorable, creature in all of fiction. Her whole personality is if you took all the Whiney bratty parts out of a toddler and kept the fun, stupid, and funny lol. Her design is super simple but makes alot of sense. She looks really good as a fish, frog, and human.
  7. Sosuke (Ponyo). Yet another Ponyo character. Most of what I said about Ponyo applies to Sosuke. I love Lisa and Sosukes dynamic too. How when Lisa gets upset Sosukes there to cheer her up. He’s super funny too. I could watch his facial expression’s the entire movie
  8. Gina (Porco Rosso). Gina has an an amazing design, voice, backstory, development, etc. basically everything about her is great and I really wish she got just as much screen time as Porco and Fio. Her whole romance with Porco was super interesting and poetic
  9. Taeko (Only Yesterday). Taeko’s character is so incredibly deep, realistic, and just feels so real. The animators, writers, and her actress all worked so well together to make her so realistic. She also gets a lot of good lines and dialogue in my opinion that I can relate to.
  10. Haru (The Cat Returns). Take everything I said about Taeko and add more humor. That’s it.

2024.05.29 03:44 luvzz12 Shoujo that you theoretically should've liked, but didn't?

Recently I was reading Hikaeme ni itte mo kore wa ai, and while theoretically it has all the elements I like in a shoujo, it just wasn't for me for some reason. I'm still not sure as to why either tbh, but my best guess is that I just wasn't a huge fan of Lisa and Zen as characters, and that impacted my interest in the manga and perception of them as a couple.
But it's funny to me because it has all the elements I desperately search for in a shoujo, but when I finally found them (in this case), it ended up being in a work that I didn't like at all.
So I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience, where they found a manga that really had all the elements they liked, but for some reason couldn't get on board with the shoujo?

2024.05.29 03:31 Pearl_the_5th Who was/were Doran, Elia and Oberyn's father/s?

TLDR: Doran has a different father to Elia and Oberyn. Both fathers were Free City nobles. Doran's father died in the 251 RHPR. Elia and Oberyn's father died in the 260 WOTNK. This would explain why no one has mentioned them yet and the Martell's interest in the Free Cities.
Quick Note: My headcanon name for their mother is Neria. Just saves me typing "Doran's predecessor", "Oberyn's mother", "former princess of Dorne", etc.
The strongest and most sensible assumptions I've made about this subject are:
  1. The fathes died before 273, the year Tyrion was born, during which Oberyn went on his betrothal journey with "my mother, her consort, and my sister Elia" (ASOS Tyrion V). It makes no sense for Oberyn to refer to his own father or Elia's as a consort.
  2. Doran and Oberyn never mentioning their fathes points to a lack of sentiment in regards to them, which in turn points to them dying before the brothers were old enough to remember them much, and given their ~10-year age gap, they must've had different fathers for this to be true. Conversely, Elia and Oberyn have about a year between them, so they likely shared a father.
  3. Both fathers were openly married to Neria, since there is no in-text speculation about the three siblings' legitimacy or paternity, and the likes of Joanna and Aerys II would never have considered marrying their heirs to anyone of questionable birth. You can't be pulling the Mormont "my children were fathered by bears lol" schtick when you're trying to betroth your daughter to the crown prince.
  4. Both fathers were from prestigious enough backgrounds to marry the heiruler of Dorne but on individual levels were so unremarkable that even their own sons don't namedrop them from time to time.
  5. Excluding the Martells, all the great houses and Dornish houses can be ruled out. Quentyn, Arianne and the Sand Snakes never mention any living cousins besides each other, and if either of their paternal grandfathers had been a non-Martell Dornish nobleman, Arianne would've mentioned his house when thinking of who she could trust to help her while imprisoned. I think it's also safe to write off the houses Elia and Oberyn visited on their betrothal voyage (Daynes, Redwynes, Hightowers, Chesters, Grimms, Hewetts, Serrys and Crakehalls).
With all that in mind, let's move onto some candidates:

Martell Man/Men

Consanguinity is common enough in Westeros: Tywin and Joanna were first cousins, and Cregan, Edric, and Rickard Stark show it's not taboo in the North, so unless the Rhoynar had an aversion to it that was carried pver into Dornish culture, there's no reason to think the Martells would be against it.
From the reign of Daeron II to that of Aerys II (i.e. 99 years), the Martells had close ties to the Targaryens. Though the deaths of Baelor Breakspear and his children put an end to the main Targ line having Martell ancestry, the "several heirs" (TWOIAF - The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II) Daenerys had borne for Maron were half-Targ. Though highly unlikely that they began to practice sibling incest, it's likely that in order to keep their Targ blood (and in turn the possibility of marrying back into the royal line) strong, some of Daenerys' grandchildren and great-grandchildren were married to each other. Neria might have been subject to this tradition, and therefore either her first husband, second husband or both could have been a descendant of Daenerys. This would help explain why the current Martells seem to be so small in number, as well as why Elia was chosen to be Rhaegar's wife over every other noble lady with Targ ancestry (really hard to imagine that all descendants of Saera, Baela, Rhaena, Elaena, Daella and Rhae at the time were either male, married, menopausal or less Targy).
However, Doran and his children point to this not being the case. If this tradition existed, then why was Doran not subject to it? If second-degree incest (is that what you're supposed to call it? I don't know, you get what I mean) was the Martell deal now, then why did Arianne feel so "uneasy" and ashamed when internally recalling her childhood crush on her uncle (AFFC The Queenmaker)? Furthermore, if Quentyn was the product of such intentional inbreeding, not only would it have been really stupid for him to not tell Dany this, he likely wouldn't have been burnt. If my calculations about Ben Plumm are correct, then he could be as little as 1/16th Targ, which is evidently enough dragonlord ancestry for dragons to take to a person (ASOS Danerys V). Rhaegal did not take to Quentyn, which means he must have less Targ ancestry than Ben (or perhaps there's a big difference between a dragon being cool with sitting on your shoulder and a dragon being cool with you screaming at it while cracking a whip). This is also why I don't believe that Doran is Aerys' bastard (along with there only being a four-year age gap between them), but what of Elia and Oberyn?

Aerys II

I don't think Elia and/or Oberyn are Aerys' bastards, though I understand why some might come to that conclusion. "Joanna Lannister was not the first lady to be dismissed abruptly from Her Grace's service, nor was she the last" (TWOIAF - The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II), Neria was one of Rhaella's ladies, and it would explain why Elia, out of all the noble women in Westeros and the Free Cities, was chosen to be Rhaegar's wife. However, Aerys would've had to have been 12-14 when they were conceived, it is unlikely he was interested in a woman old enough to be his mother when he was known to be "exceedingly fond of young women", and given that Aerys lost interest in his lovers quickly and both he and Neria seemed to have fertility issues, it's very improbable that they produced a child together, let alone two. The risk of trying to pass off your unborn child as legitimate only to be forced to admit you had a fling with the teenage crown prince after it pops out Valyrian would be such an insane one to take even once, and it's hard to imagine the mother and mentor of Doran doing such a thing.

Brynden Tully

This theory was mostly just me slamming two big questions together - who was Neria's husband/s and why did Brynden never marry - in hopes of forming an answer to both. For a short time I was gripped by the idea that Elia and Oberyn's father was a veteran of the War of the Ninepenny Kings and IIRC my thought process went something like this:
"Didn't the Blackfish fight during the WOTNK? GASP That's why he never married: he was already married to Neria! That's why he left Riverrun: he felt guilty for fighting for the side that ended up killing his daughter! That's (partially) why Doran refused Hoster's invitation for Arianne to visit Riverrun! Black fish, red viper, "colour" "animal" moniker, THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE!"
As much as I'd love it to be true because the idea of Catelyn and Oberyn being first cousins is hilarious to me, it can't be. Among many other reasons, we only know him to be near Dorne in 260, 3-4 years after Elia and Oberyn were born. Now I think their father did not survive the war, just as Doran's father was killed in the 251 rebellion of the Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig, which took place when he was around three. Their fathers dying while they were still toddlers would explain why they haven't been mentioned yet.

Free City Noblemen

I think this is the strongest theory. It explains why we haven't heard anything about them; Westerosi nobles don't seem to care much about Free City politics, and the few examples of FC nobles marrying into Westerosi houses don't seem to elicit much intrigue outside of xenophobic villainisation and scapegoating (Larra Rogare and Serala of Myr come to mind).
It is possible that Aliandra Martell's marriage to Drazenko Rogare started a trend of Dornish nobles marrying and/or making paramours of FC people, particularly those of Lys. I believe Ellaria Sand's mother is Lyseni, since she is described as "exotic" (which is never used to describe the Dornish), worships a Lysene goddess and the names of her two youngest daughters, Dorea and Loreza, sound Lyseni (Dorea is one letter off of Doreah, the name of Dany's Lysene handmaid).
I don't think either Doran's or Elia and Oberyn's father were Lyseni, though it is one of the better options. The Free Cities I've written off as options are:
  1. Lorath. It's too insignificant to marry into, not to mention far away.
  2. Norvos. Would've been mentioned by now since Doran married a Norvoshi noble. Also Norvos is probably the poorest Free City after Lorath, so not a great match for a Dornish princess.
  3. Tyrosh. Could've easily been mentioned when Doran told Arianne about his plan to send her to the Archon of Tyrosh. Also it was the Blackfyre stronghold, so unlikely to be an attractive option to the Martells.
That leaves Braavos, Pentos, Qohor, Myr, Lys and Volantis. Myr was close to being the fourth written-off city because having ties to Myr after the Defiance of Duskendale would've likely put the Martells in grave danger of Aerys' paranoia. On top of that, along with Tyrosh and Lys, Myr is a historic rival of Dorne's for dominion over the Stepstones. However, Taena of Myr looks a lot like Arianne, and she could be one of Dorne's "friends at court" (ADWD The Watcher). Perhaps she is a cousin?
Out of the six, my preference is that Doran's father was Qohorik while Elia and Oberyn's father was Volantene.
Qohor is one of the most fascinating Free Cities and yet we know so little about it. We don't even know what type of government they have. It would fit Doran's character to partially hail from such a secretive city.
Elia and Oberyn's father being a Volantene noble would explain why Elia was chosen over every other highborn girl in Westeros and the Free Cities to be Rhaegar's wife (maybe they descend from Saera's son by a Triarch?), as well as how Oberyn got behind the Black Walls so quickly and got away with fathering a bastard by a woman "of the noblest blood of Old Volantis". One might wonder why no one has mentioned this, especially since their nephew Quentyn was in Volantis, but technically he's not related to Elia and Oberyn's father any more than he is Nym's mother, and if Oberyn left Volantis on bad terms, it'd probably have been best for Quentyn to not use his connection to him as leverage.
Together with Doran's marriage to Mellario, that would give the Martells connections to Norvos, Qohor and Volantis, the three Free Cities that are located along the Rhoyne, their ancestral home. Funny, that.

2024.05.29 03:30 No-Significance6094 I [24 F] feel like I will never be capable of loving and being in a relationship ever again

Hey there!
I’m a 24-year-old woman and I've never been in a “real” relationship. I’m not unattractive. I’m 6’1”, curvy, brunette, and I care about my appearance. People often say I look like a main character with my styling and dressing.
Background information: (Bear with me, you’ll see where I‘m going with this ...)
When I was 13, I met someone online (he was also 13), and we started dating. At school, I was getting bullied, and my “online” ex was my escape, my safe space. I never told him about the bullying because I wanted to enjoy our time together and keep it positive. I loved him, but after 6 years together and meeting once, we grew apart.
In 2021, I had bariatric surgery and lost 130 lbs (60 kg). I gained a lot of confidence and self-esteem.
Three years ago, I started dating someone I met in GTA V RolePlay (he was 25 at that time and I was 21). We spent nights talking , playing games, would motivate each other to go out for walks or hit the gym, shared playlists to listen to the same songs at the same time (while me liking every single song that he chose even though it’s not my taste but because knew he liked it so I loved it even more uncontrollably), watched movies and series while on calls playing and pausing at the same moments
Would look up at the moon at the same time remembering we’re looking at the same moon and hundreds of miles basically can’t separate us, no distance is so far, no time is so long, believing our two hearts were meant for each other
But there were some not-so-pretty aspects of our relationship.
He’d throw tantrums, accuse me of cheating and lying, and try to control my life. He’d contact people around me and in the game to find out “lies,” bring up the past to make me feel guilty, and project his behavior onto me. I always tried to fix it and explain myself but the problems got even worse overtime. (Btw: Been to his city where he lives and wanted to say hi, turns out he‘s never lived there, or another instance: He‘d send old pictures claiming he was at Coachella and his friend uploaded the same pic on facebook on which they tagged the location, they were on another small festival in the UK and definitely not Coachella) I guess he‘d even lie about small things expecting me to be the same as him.
I've been in therapy for three years now. I started therapy to fix myself in order for our relationship to work. After six months of dating, endless calls, and never meeting in person, we broke up.
The idea of him, us, and our future was too beautiful to let go, and I lost it after.
Also, my dad has always been emotionally unavailable, and my mom overly protective. My siblings and I were her therapists from a very young age.
My therapist is a genius. Through many sessions, they helped me realize that love was what saved my life back then and that I’m always seeking love to fill a void (that‘s why I have him the chance to manipulate me). They emphasized the need for self-love instead of seeking validation from others.
I know it’s trauma, but how?
I lost my virginity after the last break up. I’ve tried dating again. I kinda realized most of them define me by my looks, by my curves and wanting just sex. I feel like most of them can‘t imagine a relationship with me beyond that. Like I‘m not good enough for a relationship. I’ve experienced men talking to me in different stages, until we end up having sex, and from that moment on they would only call me when they feel down bad.
Now, I’m ready for a real relationship. I’m ready to fall in love again, for the honeymoon phase, for that limerence. But it just doesn’t happen when I meet someone. I get the ick so fast. I don’t feel a spark or motivation to reply, and I can’t let things evolve.
I’ve asked myself... Do I miss my ex? I thought I did until he messaged me after his breakup, and I realized I don’t miss him at all (even ghosted him lol). I’m cool with both my exes.
I also asked... Is it because I haven’t met the one yet? Or do I need someone to chase me to develop interest? I thought the right person would come someday. But even when someone treats me right, giving me the attention I need and actually chasing me, it’s the same situation after a few weeks.
I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and BPD. I don’t think they’re stopping me because it worked with both my exes.
So what is it? I want to love again. Why is my unconscious blocking it?
I’m not pressuring to find that one person. But I’m desperate, feeling like I can never love like I did before, losing hope that I’ll ever be capable of being in a relationship.
What do you think about this situation? Have you ever been in a similar situation? I‘m still continuing therapy btw. Things take time. This topic is pretty much complex and I guess reading from people who can relate is a form of therapy as well. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for bearing with me, guys. Thanks for reading and taking the time. I truly appreciate it.

2024.05.29 03:19 Diligent-Leader6337 My honest rating of W. candidates by how much I like their music (SPOILERS FOR W. ) (duh).

Here's my honest ranking of all W. candidates by their music because I've finally listened to all of the songs. Sorry if the message is long, I just felt compelled to share these takes.
be warned, yapping and spoilers ahead (also this is my opinion so don’t lose your mind over it)
  1. Joe Lieberman: honestly IDK why they picked these "songs". If there's a thematic reason or whatever I definitely didn't catch it, and if I had to say anything I'd say they sound like a fever dream.
  2. Dick Gephardt: Here I must make clear that if there is a song for the Ventura endings, I haven't gotten to hearing it, so don't take that into account. Anyways, they're not bad songs, but I'm just not that big of a Tyler the Creator fan. Even still, I'll admit "Pigs Fly" has gotten stuck in my head at least once lol.
  3. Robert Byrd: I'm not too enthusiastic about Hustlin' and Hate Amerikkka, though thematically perfect with the final "twist" ending screen, doesn't really sound good enough for me to justify putting Amerikkka's favourite wholesome totally not racist old guy any higher.
  4. Killary KKKlinton: Crime Wave and Baptism are pretty catchy, but they're certainly not my preferred choice of music. Still, I find them enjoyable, and I'll admit they sound quite alright.
  5. Wesley Clark: Dare is a fantastic song, and by itself it’s probably in the mod’s top 10 best songs, but in my opinion M1 A1 takes too long to get to the good part, and even that I’m not the biggest fan of, so it offset’s the former song’s positive qualities to crash-land the general’s Chopper in this middle-of-the-road spot.
7.: Al Gore. I’m really sorry to put Gore down here, and I should clarify if we put these rankings in a scale of “likeability percentage”, the differences between these next three spots would be less than a full point. That being said, Empire is really good and fitting thematically, but Beautiful Enemy fails to back that up being more forgettable.
  1. Paul Wellstone: Green Day is always a safe bet, and 21 guns as a song where you lose fits like a glove. Walking Contradiction is also really good, but these songs in my opinion can’t really get as far as those down the list despite not having any major flaws.
  2. Hillary Clinton: Before starting this list, I really underestimated Hillary. I was planning on putting her by her evil self, because I thought she had a case of “first song good, second song bad” like Clark. I now see that i was wrong, and whilst Hallelujah is still the better of the two, a masterpiece in my opinion, I’m Not Ready to Make Nice does manage to stand its ground, and upon giving it several listens, I have gained newfound appreciation for it, particularly as it thematically matches with the political girlboss (I hate myself for typing that) herself.
  3. Al Sharpton: Sharpton’s songs have a more old-fashioned feel compared to almost all of the soundtrack, which, in my opinion, plays out really well for them. I’ll just say it’s a damn shame most of the time you won’t be listening to “Ain’t that a Kick in the Head”, let alone “The Party’s Over”, because you’ll wipe the floor with the man and the funny Bush song will start playing.
  4. John Edwards: Bad Day is perfect and Imitation of Life is really good. Not much to say here, it’s just a really strong duo of song choices.
  5. Gary hart: Both of his songs are really good, and the pun with “you’re breaking my heart” when you beat the man is honestly great. Also these two songs easily get stuck in your head, but in the best way possible.
  6. Ted Kennedy: Jesusland is a fantastic song, it fits thematically with Dubya’s leaning into the christian right. And of course Still is a perfect song for the canon ending of W. where Shrub is pretty much reduced to nothing as he sees everything crumble. Pure perfection if you ask me.

2024.05.29 03:18 DissedFunction The William Gude Diatribe a/g ZE part 2

The William Gude Diatribe a/g ZE part 2
This is a written transcription from a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fRbLZN1pQA It features William Gude and Jessica Palmadessa, two of the most popular Los angeles YouTube Scientology protest/content creators.
general timestamps are provided.
6:12
William: Do you even have a job?

How you pay your bills?

He was hoping Youtube would do it.I don’t think it’s going to happen now.

I’m going to make sure your little f*cking,...

you know I would have like helped him grow his channel.

Jessica: You WERE helping him!

William: I was! I was like, oh, he’s going to get up with a million, talking it up, man listen—

we end that.

Create a whole new, create a whole new f*cking Youtube Zach,
It’s done.
6:12:16
William: ..and all because WeinLA (Ever) paid no interest in you.
She did not want you . She wanted Eric. She liked Eric. Eric has talent. He plays guitar. He’s a real journalist. He’s written in Daily dot, he’s written in Rolling Stone—a real journalist. Real.
He’s (referring to Zachary) like “I’m doing journalism and Scientology—no one reads it” NO ONE reads it. No one. I would never read that. And I’m like don’t read the whole thing, I’m telling you no one’s read the first paragraph, no one. That’s you Zach.Whatever drugs you were on this morning boy when you sober up your going to come off of it..
Jessica: he was on something this morning…
William: .…Zach’s been on drugs. Why do you think he’s been acting like that? That first night when he went out to the Fig and sh*t, he was on drugs. You’re a ..you’re a f*cking junkie. Junkie Zach. Zach the junkie! Get off the drugs! Riding around, like who rides around like “Oh I’m a ..look look how f*cking cool I am”
(garbled feed)
6:13:33
William: …always hear a lighter sparking cuz he’s always f*cking smoking crap or meth or whatever, I don’t think that’s weed. I think that sh*t is ____like geeking out.
Jessica: I told you, I told you, I told the whole chat I said it was a bad idea to go against Will.
William: I’ll never stop. (Agreeing with Jessica).
Jessica: I said it from the beginning. I said it not because of Will or not because of me, because the chat was going to destroy you (referring to Zach) and that’s what happened.
6:14:02
William: Oh Zach. Zach Zach Zach…
So when Zach comes live again (talking and giving directions to Jessica’s chat room) go on in there and troll his sh*t.Make him shut down his chat. Let him know that he’s a f*cking weirdo for being out on Fig. What investigative journalism is being done? What is he doing? He’s filming from a distance…jerking off.
That’s what he’s doing. No one, he doesn’t want anybody else in the car with him, no one’s ever in a car…people have offered to come with him, no he’s got to film with his left hand and jerk off with his right hand.Zach (said with Will pointing to the camera). Zachary! He’s not in the chat but he’s watching.
Jessica: for some reason it really upset him that I was waiting for you. I was like I thought you liked WeinLa, whatever. (Suggesting that maybe Zach has a crush on Jessica?)
6:15:02
William: (mocking Zach) “But nobody did anything when I was doxed.” (Referring to when Zachary was swatted at Gelsons) No, first off you’re sitting right next to the f*cking person’s car spy stalking her (referring to Koster?) That’s STALKING!
(Jessica nodding strongly).
No one does that! I told EVERYBODY stay the F*ck away from her car.But no, I’m going to for some reason you got to sit there four cars away and “oh I broke a story”..NO ONE cares! It means nothing. You got to sit there next time you know what his next investigative reporting, he’s going to do it from …he’s going to be hiding in the trunk of her car! —he’s going to be in the trunk of her car.—and yeah I’ surprised that when the cops came and check your car —they didn’t find a rape kit.
I just figured they’d find bungee cords, zip ties, knives, ropes all that sh*t. Your Fig gear. That’s what you pack up when you take it out to Fig. We gonna to have to check and see if Zach —we need to see if there’s any missing people. ‘Cuz Zach might have bodies in his f*cking house.
Jessica: Got to make sure WeinLA is okay!! (Laughing).
William: Is WeinLA okay? Let’s check. I need to know! (slight pause).
go to your pool with your f*cking mammories hanging to your knees.
Zach’s got tits that hang to his knees!!! He can tie them tits in a knot!
OH my God, who’s going to milk them!
Who’s milking Zach like a f*cking cow (said making a milking motion) With those tits and he’s hanging around the pool —everybody laughs at you Zach. You look like sh*t.I’m not in the best shape you know what I’m not going to do? I’m not going to go on live in a pool like that and he’s thinking he’s “oh I’m some sexy …”
you’re a WEIRDO!
Everybody laughs at you.
You know what happens when you go in there? (Talking about livestreams from the pool).
I get screenshots like look at this guy.
They laugh at you.Your neighbors laugh at you! They’re probably wondering what the f*ck is he doing in that pool? Setting up a camera while he’s in a pool. Who does that?You know who does it? Zachary Ellison—the biggest weirdo in LA. My god.
6:17:02
William:You had to run your mouth, huh?Was it worth it? (Mocking)
Let’s see what you do oh then we’re going to hear about “oh man I got to get out of here it’s unsafe, it’s unsafe, Streets is out here,” that’s right. I’m going to protest you.
And I’m going to come to Fig and I’m gong to find you on Fig —I’m going to tell everybody you got this f*cking weirdo over here watching you, watch out for that guy he may be a serial killer.
Jessica: (driving and reading the chat) He’s in the chat?
William: F*ck him! F*ck you Zach! Run your mouth against me? I’m gong to f*cking ruin you. and you know it. Bitch ass.
You know what I’m going to do, I’m going to go onto Twitter later I’ going to go on Instagram on it I’m going to post videos about you with your tits hanging to your f*cking knees.
6:18:04
William:Your saggy ass titties.You think anybody, you think WeinLA (Ever) is going to look at that video and be like “oh well that looks nice” NO ONE! No one. Maybe a bull will…maybe a bull…right cuz they like you know they like them (starts making a milking a cow gesture again)
Then I’m gonna f*cking when you come out there to La Poubelle I’m gonna milk you you right in front. I’m gonna get a little container together and we’re gonna get some Zach milk. We’re gonna milk your titties.
Jessica: That’s hot.
William: gonna have colostrum and all that sh*t. When you come to La Poubelle I’m going to get you a special bra. Special bra but for those little funnels you got. My God, run your mouth.
6:19:01
William: Zach, you can’t be me. I know you want to.“No I’m not trying to be Streets.” He literally got to have the same —he went and bought the exact same RayBans, same color, everything. And a black hoodie. Like why were you wearing hoodies? You were wearing that f*cking —you had that coat that I see little kids wear—in a winter in Wisconsin and it was like of all colors let’s make it like puke yellow.
Jessica:there’s going to be a press conference tonight.
William: Oh, press conference Zach. I’m going to crash your press conference. I’m going to come find you, you go live, Zach goes lives, I’m going to show up. You better do live for me at some-I’ll show up there too.
Jessica: I don’t think he’s going to show his face again to be honest. Zach all you had to do was not try and you know…(voice trailing off)
William: (interrupting) get off the drugs Zach. He should at least blame it on drugs. If you weren’t on drugs then..
Jessica: (interrupting) that’s what everyone, my mom (Jessica’s mom is reportedly a paid moderator in her chats) was like “Zach, just say you were hacked, that’s all you got to do is say that you were hacked but he was standing by it, he kept coming back “I’m the only one that broke the story about Francois”
6:20:13
William: No one cares about that like literally no one cares. No one. You know what matters Zach? That we shut down f*cking Scientology in LA. You had nothing to do with that. You had nothing to do with that. They don’t recruit anymore. You had nothing to do with that Zach. Nothing. You just came with your thing putting the camera in everybody’s face with your weird f*cking smile.
Jessica: (reading chat and responding) Is WeinLA okay? I don’t know, you have to check Zach’s trunk (laughing) but I think she should be fine.
William: You going to pop sh*t while I’m jail. you should never have said a damn thing.
6:21:00
William: I’m not even pissed off at the cops anymore, I’m focused on Zach you bitch.
Jessica: you can’t be pissed so it’s just funny the downfall of himself.
William: Yeah, he started feeling himself, no one’s paid Zach any attention. Ever. Like literally. Like I said, and all a sudden he starts getting a little attention on, he’s got 2-3000 followers and subscribers on YouTube..
Jessica: I don’t think he does anymore. Think that dropped a bit.
William: F*ck him. That’s what he gets. Of all the people, of all the people you want to run your mouth against …boy...
6:22:00
William: He that I what did I do to get arrested, what did I do stand there filming from a distance and I deserve it?
Jessica: first off he thought you were going to be held for 48 hours he was starving—
William: —Zach you don’t know sh*t! What the hell do you know, listen I’m gonna tell everybody in the chat, right…Zach does not know what he’s talking about ever. Ever. We just laugh at him. I hope you guys are on with the joke.I think most of you are. Right? But no one takes him seriously. The guy know sh*t but he doesn’t know anything.
Jessica: ah so he wasn’t held for 48 hours, I don’t know if you noticed..
William: You want to know why? Zach? Because they said, oh you’re a journalist we verified you’re a journalist.. Zach, if you got arrested, no one would have..are they going to be like you’re a substack —they’re going to go looking for your ..it’s. a substack. It’s a f*cking blog. It’s just a longform Twitter post. That’s all it is.
Jessica: he said there’s only been like 3 journalists that’ve ever covered Scientology. I’m like first off, I consider Solomon a journalist…
6:23:01
William: yeah, everybody’s covered Scientology way better than you have Zach, what the f*ck do you know? Oh god.
Jessica: you don’t get like a certificate that says journalist.
William: the guy sits at La Poubelle, at a distance
Jessica: smoking up a blunt
William: or something. I mean maybe the blunt got something in it.
Jessica: It’s got to. It’s been ever since he demanded WeInLA to go home from that ice cream shop. That’s something—
William: —She didn’t want to go home. She wanted to hang out with Eric cuz he’s a cool guy to hang around. And he’s actually you know a good-looking guy unlike you. (Talking to Zach)Unlike you Zach, unlike you, you’re not a good looking guy.Zach, you’re f*cking UGLY!
6:24:00
William: You were pissed off you were f*cking had your little panties in a bunch because she (Ever) was getting attention, she was giving him attention and you weren’t getting it. So I’m going back and I’m going to cock block you guys, got to get out of here. Eric comes to these protests, Eric comes to these protests every day these protests are going on when sh*t is going off he’s not a p*ssy like you Zach. His little piece of sh*t Civic jerking off. That’s what he does. Smoking
(garbled)
William: How you doing Zach? It’s never going to end. You know damn well. Somebody gets in a fight with me it never ends.
6:25:00
Jessica: and last thing, it’s not dangerous at La Poubelle. That’s not why I—
William: (interrupting) —La Poubelle is not dangerous. It’s freaks like you. That’s why people stop going to La Poubelle.
Freaks like you Zach. That’s why it had nothing to do with danger, no one’s scared of La Poubelle, literally no one is scared, no one wants to be around a freak show like you Zach.
I can’t believe you don’t you haven’t figured that out. Haven’t you noticed when you come walking up at La Poubelle people walk away from you? When I see you filming you come walking over you start talking about “oh it’s unsafe out here” everybody walks away from you like “what the f*ck are you talking about?” They clown you. Everybody laughs about, laughs about you. You started feeling yourself and taking yourself too seriously you going we had to sit there and bring you back to reality—you ain’t sh*t.
Jessica: and it’s not groundbreaking that you filmed the guy in the parking lot it was or her talking to the cheeseburger guy or whatever, it was not groundbreaking. It was just creepy. Please stop filming females in a car because if I was her I would get a restraining order.
6:26:01
William: Yeah I mean she’s probably going to get, I can see her working —
Jessica: I will be her (Koster, owner of La Poubelle) witness! I will be her witness!
William: I can see her trying to get a restraining order cuz this guy is stalking her car at 1:00 in the morning. Who am I do defend Francois but I’ve told EVERYBODY, I’ve told everybody I’m like man this is weird, get the f*ck away from her car. It makes everybody look bad. Zach, you make everybody look bad doing that weird sh*t. It’s embarrassing. So nobody wants to be around you cuz when your restraining order coming and it’s going to be a legit one —nobody wants to be tied up with them. NO ONE.
Can’t believe you run your mouth like that.Who the f*ck do you think you are?
Jessica: He’s been winding up for this though.
William: oh yeah. Zach’s going to go to Twitter like, I’ll film the police you know we’re going to cancel him, nobody listens to you Zach. You’re muted by everybody. Even people that follow you out of a courtesy they then mute you, no one —that’s why no one replies to your tweets. No one. The only people that reply to your Tweet are people who follow you on some of the Scientology stuff —other than that, no one.
If I catch you replying to them, I’m going to block your ass. Unless it’s..juicy
.I’m going to start a new channel, auditing Zach. The Zach audit. What are you going to do Zach? Zach, if everybody out here scares you, boy, everything’s dangerous.
Jessica starts mumbling something
William: Zach’s a bitch. Zach’s a bitch. Zach gets nothing done. No one and I mean no one in LA will doubt who’s like top not even not just activist but journalist you ask journalist —they’re not saying you Zach. I promise you.Nobody know who you are. No other journalists knows who you are. No one.
F*CK YOU ZACH.
Jessica: (smiling at Streets) you’re funny as shit. (Looking to camera) You guys enjoy the show?
