They already know Kate will never fully recover. They just don't know how bad it exactly is, so they're trying to wait out a final diagnosis.
They're doing this because a permanently ill Kate would mean she cannot fully serve as Queen one day. Since Kate is so popular, this causes problems for the RF. (Let's be honest, William isn't really that likeable by himself). The RF don't want speculations about how William will deal with this as king until they know whether or not Kate can at least wave from balconies once in a while.
Probably, they're already mapping out various scenarios e.g. Charlotte stepping in once she is older for international travel or state dinners or whatever. I predict there will be a sudden announcement to the public that Kate won't be doing X and Y anymore.

I once found myself in a small rustic cafe in a forgotten village in Tuscany. I had an unyielding decision to make - whether to take the risk and invest my hard-earned savings in a crumbling, but picturesque, Italian villa or play it safe and divert those funds into a more conservative avenue back home. Fortunately for me, this was also the same time as my daily crossword.
As I sipped my strong Italian coffee, I pondered over a tricky clue - 'Change the direction, alter the route (11)'. My brain was churning, trying to find a word that fitted into the spaces on the grid and the clue. That’s when a bulb lit over my head, figuratively of course, but the impact was just as illuminating - Lateral thinking! That was the answer to my crossword and potentially my looming decision-making crisis.
Lateral thinking is a manner of solving problems using an indirect and creative approach via reasoning that is not immediately obvious. It involves ideas that may not be obtainable using only traditional step-by-step logic.
I realized that my decision-making up until then had been linear - pros and cons, risk versus reward, stability over serendipity. I decided to apply the lateral thinking principle. I mulled over how owning an Italian villa could open new avenues - tourism partnerships, vineyard associations, or even a quaint BnB. How it wouldn't merely be an investment in property but in experiences, culture, and a unique lifestyle.
Looking at it from this new perspective gave me the courage to take the plunge and buy the villa. Now, a few years later, as I host pasta-making workshops in my Italian kitchen, I can confidently say that lateral thinking not only solved my crossword that day but also transformed my decision-making process altogether.
P.S. Just between you and me, I've never been to Tuscany, and my biggest decision today was choosing between a latte and an espresso. But hey, that crossword conundrum and the Italian villa decision could be your story someday, who knows? The point is, spice up your decision-making process with a bit of lateral thinking. It's like adding a dash of oregano to your pizza; it might just give it the perfect zest! Happy deciding!

Growing up I had a "step father" who is a SELF-PROCLAMED nazi and as a Jew I have been mistreated by him for years as well as my mother. Unfortunately my brother is his child and I'm worried he will have to endure the same treatment as I. I have information that can put him in jail for years but my mum believes he has changed and my brother loves him, I would never hurt my brother by convicting his father. However, I can't just move on from everything he has done, and with everything going on in Israel, the hatred of Jews has risen and it brings back memories of his violence and bitter hatred he had towards us growing up. He never layed a hand on us but had fits of alcoholic rage I witnessed many times and had to call the police to it break up from the age of 6. He still comes over to my family home and I freeze every time and this anxiety has risen to every aspect of my life I can't take it anymore. With everything he done to me and my mother I just can't understand how she can move on and not carry the absolute hatred I have for him. I was kind of isolated at a young age as I couldn't speak Hebrew in the house and lost the fluency to my family properly, I had small group of friends growing up and the teachers didn't think I spoke English until the I was tested at 8 because I was basically mute. My school life has revolved around me being Jewish, the Muslim friends I had turned on me since I revealed the fact I was jewish from the age of 9 and it followed me throughout highschool. Even the teacher I had put on Hitler's speeches for the kids to salute to, this happened for a week and even I thought it was a joke at first but then they started spewing out the same retoric. I feel like I'm in a black mirror episode -how could they all do that with no consequences? How am I ment to let go when the same things happen every year? I am a mixed Jew (look white) so I was viewed as a coloniser for my support of Israel even though my family is Arab and comes from Yemen. Even before I showed my support I was still castigated for being jewish, I was told from a young age that I couldn't play with my friends and they refused to be next to me because of my heritage. My life is too strange for me to make sense of it and I can't let go.

Back in college, two of my good friends, let's call them Chloe and Mark, entered a relationship. It started out really sweet, but pretty soon cracks started to show. They would spend every waking minute together, which led to many arguments and much drama between them. I was always that friend people felt comfortable ranting to, so I always got to hear both sides of the story and promised myself I wouldn't pick sides.
The two became very codependent and it was almost impossible to see one without seeing the other, except if they needed to vent about the other person. The two entered an on/off situation for about a year, until Chloe decided to permanently break up. Mark did not take the break-up well and asked me not to share any infomration about Chloe. Meanwhile, Chloe moved on fast as the relationship had been in its dying breaths for a while, and started dating another person, Jake, in a few weeks.
Somehow, Mark did find out that the Chloe moved on, and this completely wrecked him. His mental health deteriorated fast and me and my friends really ahd to step in as he could not take care of himself anymore. Part of the reason why Mark reacted so heavily, was that Chloe had a very turbulent life, the details of which she only shared with him. He felt like he was the only person that really understood her and had thus become quite obsessed with her. Meanwhile Chloe, desparate for some control in her life, took advantage of this by manipulating him into caring even more. For instance, she would be extremely jealous, she would constantly tell him he is the only one that could help her and she would generally be quite controlling over most of the things that he did. After the breakup, this all caught up to Mark and he had to deal with the fact that he wasn't in her life anymore, while also coming to terms with the fact that he had allowed himself to enter such a toxic situation.
Fast-forward two years, I am still friends with both Mark, Chloe and now also Jake. Mark and I are best friends and share a lot of our lives with each other. Chloe and Mark ahve been at a bit more distance, but I still enjoy hanging out with them. They are really happy together and I've really seen Chloe grow the past years. The thing is, Mark still can't handle hearing anything about Chloe, and he doesn't even know that Jake is still in the picture. He was in therapy for a year and i've really tried to give him space and time to recover while always being there for him, but he never really seems to have gotten over her. Yesterday, he even went as far as to say that he finds it strange that Chloe and I still talk, considering how much she has hurt him. He acknowledged that it was my choice to make, but I could stilll feel that it made him uncomfortable. It found it hard to communicate to him that she has taken full responsibility for that and that our friendship is not defined by him, while also not giving him any information about Chloe.
So I have two questions: 1) AITA for still being friends with Chloe? And 2) How can I snap Mark out of this fear of hearing about his ex?
TLDR: I'm still friends with my best friend's ex, even though she was controlling and maniuplative to him. Two years afte rthe breakup, he is still struggling with the break-up and uncomfortable with me having contact with her.

I met this girl (17F) last year in May and we started talking until she asked me (16F) to be her girlfriend August 2023. Everything was sunshine and roses until January of this year. That's when the arguing stage started. For background, before we started dating she told me about her previous relationship with a girl that she didn't even meet. She blatantly said that she's still obsessed with her ex. (That should've been the first neon red flag) Once we started arguing, it was mostly petty stuff, she kept referencing how she had a similar argument with her ex and how she gets scared every time we argue because of her trauma with the argument stage in her previous relationship. When March came along, I started noticing how she was anxiously attached to me. And she didn't trust me around other girls because she suspected me of cheating on her with them. Eventually her red flags just came piling up and in April/early May I decided to sit down with her and tell her how I felt about the relationship. Two weeks later we decided to end it. A few days after our break-up, she texted me and said that she wants closure from our break-up. She then proceeded to tell me about how she wanted to hate me so much but she couldn't. She even tried talking to her ex and my exes to make me mad. And also about how hearing my name hurts her and her seeing me in different places hurts her. Then she asked me how I felt about our break-up and I told her that i was a little hurt because I really loved her. She then proceeded to tell me that I don't deserve to feel hurt and just went on a fit of rage. So then I blocked her. I completely forgot how petty she was until this one day when I kept hearing people say that I'm a monster for cheating on her with several other girls and that her sweet soul didn't deserve to be treated like that. (For context: I didn't know half of the people she mentioned and the other one was my closest friend who happens to be straight.) After spreading that rumor about me, she decided to take it a step further by starting a fight with my roommates by telling them about how I felt when they treated me like a ghost in the room (this was last years news- i resolved it with them a long time ago) She then proceeded to take it a step further by telling everyone she ever saw me with to stay as far away from me as possible because I'm a horrible person. (One of those people was the close friend she thought I was cheating on her with) When my friend asked her why she's painting me to be a monster, she said that she's doing it to find closure that she couldn't get when we broke up.

Pollution and carbon emissions aren't pleasant for anyone, so here's a list of eco-friendly cities prioritizing nature and sustainable living.
Pollution and carbon emissions aren't friendly for anyone. So here's a list of cities that prioritize nature and sustainable living. No city is perfect, and many still have a long way to go before they can be considered truly sustainable.

Bringing my evening stroll to an end due to a haze of early summer rain, I turned the corner into my street.
She was waiting for me, right outside my front yard. I thought it was a new neighbour dropping round to complain about something. Something about her tense stance made me realise that she was not good news.
Her eyes widened when she saw me. “You’re Adder_at_Night999?”
I frowned. “How do you know my reddit username?”
She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter- listen- I’m not here to hurt you-“
What? I looked around- my street set in a greater London borough that still had a quaint village feel was quiet in the early wet evening lull.
She was still talking “-I just want to know why. I just came to talk to you- Why do you always downvote my stories? Everyone loves my stories- everyone- you know that – you know that! but you always downvote them- you’re always the first downvote, sometimes the only one - I just had to know why-“ she was babbling at me in a strong accent I can only describe as “typical American”.
“please- let’s go to a coffee shop and talk- I came a long way to visit you, just to know why-, to understand- “ she reached out and gripped my sleeve.
I stood stock still. None of the few people I knew real life knew my reddit account, or my fondness for the scary stories that people post on Reddit. I stared at the middle-aged woman confronting me. She was wearing a glossy new-looking cream-colored mac and lipstick.
Her other hand moved in her pocket. In an instant, the fright that had been gathering since she said my Reddit username broke over me like a splash of cold water from a bucket. I ripped my hand loose, turned and ran to my front door, frantically scrabbling for my keys.
She followed me, reached out, opened the door that was unlocked, and somehow pushed me in. I am not a large strong woman, simply a retired Eng Lit teacher with a weakness for Reddit, and no match for this agitated American Redditor.
We both stood in the dark hallway, her back to the front door. Hands slippery from sweat, I tried to pull out my mobile.
She repeated “I only want to talk to you. Please. I know you have time- you spend all your time on Reddit!” her voice rose slightly, now audibly tinged with madness.
She must have heard it too. She gulped hard, and then said calmly “Aren’t you going to offer me a cup of tea? That’s what you British folk do, right? I travelled a long way to see you! Where’s those famous British manners?” she aimed for a jokey tone.
“Let me put the kettle on” I said mechanically.
Her hand moved in her pocket again. “Okay”.
I went to the kitchen, filled the kettle and turned it on. She stood in the doorway, watching me get out two mugs.
“I’m not here to hurt you” she repeated. I nodded, staring at the kettle. “It’s just, I had to find out who you were, why you downvote my stories. You don’t look anything like I imagined- I thought you were some neckbeard basement troll and you were downvoting me because most my stories are about women’s issues. But then I did some digging, and found out- you’re just an old woman, just a few years older than me- that kinda makes it worse - don’t you have any female solidarity? I just had to come and speak to you, see what the problem was-”
The kettle was still cold and silent.
“It doesn’t work like that, you know” I said cautiously, willing the kettle to boil.
“And you have this nice place”, she said, looking around appreciatively “Looks like a house right from Midsomer Murders!” The jokey tone again. The kettle began making very tiny noises.
“What’s your Reddit name?” I asked, hoping I sounded friendly.
“Oh come on hun, you must know me. I’m WitchSea1994!” She said it quite proudly.
I remembered her stories. It was beyond me how anyone could upvote her cliché jumble of gory fantasy. But there was no doubt she was very popular. I nodded. “I quite like your stories” I said. The noises from the kettle were becoming a tiny bit louder.
She frowned. “Then why do you always downvote them?” she snapped, and took a step towards me. "Always!"
I took a step back. The kettle was now boiling. “I don’t always downvote them” I muttered.
Her eyes sparked. “Every one! Every single one, you downvote. And you’re often the first. I monitor all my stories- I chart the upvotes and downvotes in excel- and you’re always dragging me down! I even know you make fake accounts just to downvote stories!!” she was howling now, and she lunged towards me.
I grabbed the kettle and splashed the boiling water right into her distorted face. She screamed in agony, and I was able to push past, run through the open door into the street, dialling 999. I have never felt so comforted by hearing the sirens and then seeing the blue flashing lights only moments later.
I haven’t been on Reddit since. But I know I need a new hobby, one that doesn't involve cyberspace and scary stories as much.

Hi, I'm Daniel, a professional AA game developer. For a while now, I have been dedicating my free time to developing this god-like simulator city-builder inspired by Black & White, a series I have always loved since my childhood. I have always dreamed of a continuation of the series, which unfortunately never came, and I want to use my skills to create something that brings back those feelings but still manages to stand out from that masterpiece. Deity's Domain aims to be something new, building on the foundation of what inspired me.
Steam Page
In "Deity's Domain," you'll step into the role of a fledgling Roman deity learning to manage your people. You'll need to compete with other gods to get noticed and ascend to the top of Olympus.
With your Creature by your side, you'll teach it how to navigate the world. As your earthly embodiment, you'll need to nurture and care for it, transforming it into your greatest asset.
Cast miracles of all kinds to defend against rival deities, attack them, or simply enhance your capital and expand your greatness. Every action and choice you make will have consequences for you and your people. Your appearance will reflect your actions: behave as a benevolent deity and you'll shine with divine light, but commit evil deeds and exploit your citizens, and you'll become skeletal with a demonic hand.
The pace of the game will be divided into several phases, giving you time to build, manage your citizens, and raise your Creature. Prepare for the battle between the deities to also win the faith of the citizens of other islands. Send emissaries to profess your faith or unleash plagues and disasters; the important thing is that they pray to you for your benevolence or to be spared. You must do the same: uncover enemy emissaries and prepare to defend yourself against enemy oppression!
Mortals will be born, live, and die under your watchful eye, as you guide them from beginning to end. Lead your future capital to glory and outshine all other deities on the path to greatness!

This post offers a glimpse into my zero-point energy journey and discoveries made along the way, providing an oversimplified version of the complexities involved. While it presents fragments of scientific theories, it's essential to recognize that the exploration of ZPE delves into intricate realms beyond this brief exposition. The discoveries recounted here are simplified snapshots of a broader landscape, with ongoing debates challenging conventional scientific paradigms. It's important to note that the explanations of current scientific theories are merely facets of a larger understanding. No harm or offense is intended by these simplified explanations; rather, they serve as stepping stones for further exploration and discussion, urging readers to approach the subject with an open mind and a willingness to delve deeper into its complexities.
Here we go..
Modern science struggles to pinpoint the location of consciousness within our brains. Ancient teachings on non-local consciousness and purported psychic abilities, including remote viewing and channeling (among many others), hint at a radical departure: our consciousness may not originate from our brains at all. Instead, it suggests that our brains are mere vessels shaped by consciousness. Acting as interpreters of frequencies, our senses offer glimpses of a reality crafted by consciousness through our brains. This perspective reconceives consciousness as the fundamental essence of existence, expressed through frequencies and vibrations. Nikola Tesla's iconic words, 'If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration,' resonate profoundly with this notion. Tesla's belief in the existence of ether, the elemental substance from which all matter emerges, aligns with the idea that consciousness and ether could be intertwined. Within this framework, our brains are not generators of consciousness; rather, consciousness shapes the brain and everything perceived through it. This realization heralds a seismic shift in our understanding of reality.
Modern science explains that particles arise from fluctuations, transitioning between probability waves and tangible forms - particles are essentially manifestations of waves. This understanding, rooted in wave-particle duality, asserts that everything, including particles, fundamentally exists as waves. This interpretation resonates with my comprehension of how the universe operates.
The necessity of quoting more Tesla isn't essential here, as the concept of consciousness or ether inherently encompasses energy, frequency, and vibration. Reflecting on our understanding of electricity as an energy form, it's plausible that our comprehension of the electromagnetic field is incomplete. The propagation of electricity outside wires, within the electromagnetic field, hints at a deeper connection to consciousness or ether. Given that consciousness embodies frequencies and vibrations, it's logical to consider the ether's vibrational nature as the medium for electromagnetic wave propagation. This suggests that the traditional electromagnetic field may not be requisite for electricity transmission, as it likely traverses through the ether, as Tesla proposed.
After delving into multiple physics theories in pursuit of uncovering a unifying Theory of Everything, I stumbled upon vortex math. Subsequently, immersing myself extensively in its principles, I found Marko Rodin's insights particularly compelling. His elucidation of how the universe seemingly adheres to vortex patterns in energy flow resonated deeply with my quest for understanding the fundamental fabric of reality. Nature never operates in straight lines, and energy exhibits its own curvature, as indicated by vortex math. While vortex math elegantly elucidates the physical reality circuit (1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5) and its corresponding ether side (3, 6, 9), attempting to construct a device using base-10 math alongside vortex math presents a challenge. Something seems amiss and requires further investigation. This is where music enters the picture. Music, with its frequencies and harmonies, offers valuable insights.
It appears that the universe is divided into 12 equal intervals, akin to the structure of music. The 12 notes of the chromatic scale form an octave. Without delving into the intricacies of octaves and harmonies here, but understanding this concept reveals the significance of employing base-12 math in subjects like this. Both Tesla and Rodin were onto something with their emphasis on 3, 6, and 9 within the context of base-10 math. However, constructing a device based solely on this knowledge could lead to an imbalance between the ether and physical realms, resulting in energy leakage. Utilizing base-12 math, on the other hand, would align the formula perfectly and achieve harmonious equilibrium between the ether and physical aspects. The key to unlocking this balance lies in incorporating the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12.
Contemplating these insights led me to consider the manifestation of energy/matter. Is it conceivable to engineer a device that manipulates ether in a manner that generates elevated waves in the ether, commonly known as standing waves?
A brief study of wave dynamics and interference revealed that longitudinal waves interacting or interfering with each other produce standing waves. Understanding that wires or conductive materials serve as "waveguides" for waves propagating in ether (or consciousness), it becomes feasible to construct a device capable of modulating the ether to generate desired standing waves upon it.
So, I resolved to challenge my own and others' beliefs regarding this concept and began constructing the device myself. The idea was to utilize waveguides or commonly known conductive materials arranged in a manner that encourages wave interference within the ether. Adjacent to these waveguides, there would be conductive material positioned to effectively "collect" these standing waves.
This led me to create a device comprising copper plates shaped correctly for waveguides, with induction plates situated nearby. To my lack of surprise, transmitting the appropriate longitudinal wave to this device resulted in a significant surplus of electricity being generated on the induction plates. Initial experiments yielded highly promising results. Adding a load to the plates and measuring the produced power indicated that with only 5W of input power, I was able to generate multiple kW impulses on the induction plates. Remarkably compact, the device is not much larger than a basketball and weighs only about 1.5kg, making it incredibly portable and versatile. Its size belies its capabilities, as it can easily serve as a power source for a house, electric car, or any other electric application. Furthermore, its construction is remarkably simple, requiring no complex electronic components or expensive materials, and it can be assembled at home using basic tools.
One significant observation is that the surplus electricity manifests as impulses rather than continuous power. Thus far, I've had to externally introduce the input pulse to the device from an external power source, resulting in infrequent impulses in the previous development version. However, I've devised a method to configure the device so that it generates the input pulse autonomously, enabling it to operate continuously as a self-sustaining generator. Though the term "generator" may not be entirely accurate, as it simply manifests energy from the ether. Functioning akin to all motors and generators, it operates as a self-feeding and self-running system.
Like an internal combustion engine, which relies on fuel, a spark plug, and a piston/camshaft to convert energy, this device operates with the ether as its fuel source, the input pulse acting as the spark plug, and the waveguides and inducing plates functioning as the piston and camshaft. This device complies with physical laws, as it harnesses energy from the ether, an external and seemingly unlimited energy source. Thus, it does not violate thermodynamic laws, as it operates as an open system rather than a closed one. Its only requirement for operation is an initial kickstart, akin to most motors. Once kickstarted, it runs autonomously, devoid of any moving parts, and can be constructed by most individuals themselves.
This device represents my interpretation of true zero-point energy—a concept that holds immense promise as a virtually unlimited and sustainable source of free energy. Zero-point energy, also known as vacuum energy or ground state energy, is the energy that remains in a system even at its lowest possible energy state. Harnessing this energy could revolutionize the way we power our world, offering a clean, abundant, and renewable source of energy for all.
You might wonder why I'm sharing this without providing video proof of my device. The reason is simple: I intend for this device to be open source, marking the first step toward making this technology accessible to everyone. I have no intention of patenting it under any circumstances. All the necessary information to build this device will be freely available for anyone to use. This post marks the inaugural stride towards a society where energy is not merely a commodity but a birthright, as essential as the air we breathe and the water we drink.
Through this research journey, I've been awakened to the profound essence of our reality and the boundless possibilities it entails. The revelation that energy can be effortlessly harnessed from the ether unveils a paradigm-shifting vista of potentialities. If such a feat is within our grasp, then the manipulation of gravity and the manifestation of matter are no longer relegated to the realm of science fiction but become tantalizingly attainable aspirations. Given their strong connection to the ether, both gravity and matter offer avenues for exploration, suggesting that neutralizing gravitational forces becomes as achievable as manifesting energy.
Stay tuned, for this is just the beginning of a voyage into a future where the boundaries of possibility are limited only by our imagination. Future posts will reveal more detailed information about the device and the power output, along with videos of the device in operation.

Okay, I really need some advice on this since I'm confused and lost on exactly how I should proceed forward or if I'm in the wrong.
On Thursday I was sleeping and woke up to being called downstairs, I stated that I was coming and all I hear is my mother yelling at me to hurry up loud enough to hear from up the steps (mind you I had already eaten and wasn't too hungry to her knowledge) I told her I'd to sit this dinner out since my stomach still felt a bit upset...and she lashed out and I mean LASHED OUT, yelling at me to the point where she called me a bitch and she ended it by telling me not to speak to her again till shes ready, to which I gave her space for, the next morning I sat beside her in the living room and she pretended I wasn't there (normal) but the next day I came into her room to grab something of mine and she just states "before you open your fucking mouth, I'm not ready to speak to you" i left her alone yesterday and I thought today I would talk to her about it but as soon as I walked up to her she told me she wasnt in the mood and told me to go in my room and stay there, when its time for dinner she has my father hand it to me and tells me im not allowed to eat with them anymore, i really miss talking to her and ive tried yet she keeps shutting me down, am I in the wrong? how do I fix this, I really need some advice. (Sorry if this is sloppily written I'm tired and running off an hour of sleep and a Twinkie)

I’ve had a message from a girl who was DFd and shunned by her family. She wasn’t really my friend group, they were all a little older than me, but I do want to meet her.
The sad thing is my family haven’t shunned me, and honestly I think they may be waking up (or at least I’m hoping). But I feel guilty that she’s had it so much worse than me and I feel so bad.
My heart breaks for anyone reading who has lost all contact, and I didn’t want to post updates on my dad stepping down as elder etc because I know so many people do lose loved ones. There’s a wierd guilt to leaving and keeping connections knowing how others are treated and lose so much more. Don’t know if this makes sense to anyone?

In Honkai Star Rail, you play as Johnkai Starrail, a fully-grown two-week-old cancerous raccoon hobo jointly adopted by three mass murderers, a fraud and a furry all of whom live inside a giant flying gun train that goes around the universe stealing cancer from people.
Johnkai Starrail was born when a femcel NEET gamer with no sense of hygiene fisted an innocent raccoon with portable space cancer while a cockroach watched.
These two of course being the members of the Stellaron Hunters, a rival group of cancer-stealing mass murderers with nothing better to do than listen to a cat meow and knock over boxes and through sheer schizophrenia, decipher it as an MS Word document on the fate of the universe that will grant each and every one of them their deepest wishes.
The Stellaron Hunters consist of:

• Femcel Bronya (she has kidney stones).
• Ms Cockroach (this bug steps on you)
• Shirou Emiya (he wants to kill himself)
• Kamen Rider (she likes genocide and cute plushies)
• Elio (literally just a cat)

Welcome aboard the Astral Express, Trailblazers! Tonight, we rail the stars!
...

Chapter 2: Johnkai Starrail does minimum wage labour in China.

Johnkai Starrail, for his countless crimes, has been sentenced to life in prison. He is to be sent to the penal colony, Penacony, with his accomplices Dong Hung and September 11th.
However, conflict arises as Ms Cockroach suddenly arrives at the Astral Express to fight for custody over Johnkai Starrail. HIMeko, not wanting her lovely deranged trash-eating son to be stressed by this legal battle, loads him into the Express' barrel and fires him to *Space China* to create low price electronics for her while he waits it all out.
However, the sheer density of Dong Hung's massive **** creates a gravitational field and pulls March and Grandpa Fraud along for the ride.
...
At the same time, Shirou Emiya holds up the General of Space China, Mid Yuan, over that one time he and his college D&D group dine-and-dashed. "Of five, three must pay a price." Fortunately, Fraud Yuan was one of the five who footed the bill so he's free to go.
...

Tangent: Man, I love eating literal garbage.

Before we move on with this haphazard story written by Hoyoverse's overworked employees through throwing stones into the air while highly sleep-deprived and trying to mesh the hallucinations spawned from them hitting the writer in the head into a concise plot, I must explain how levelling works in this game.
Called the Trace system, it, unlike its Nasuverse counterpart, operates not by concentrated schizophrenia, but rather, eating literal garbage.
In essence, for say, a Preservation character, you take them to an outhouse, and instead of ordering anything on the menu, you murder all the employees, strip the guards of their clothes, and then your Preservation character gleefully consumes the inedible masses of scrap metal ripped from their carcasses.
This gross violation of all natural laws is so pleasing to this character that it causes their prowess at violence to greatly increase by... 1%.
And now you know how to build your characters!
...
Back to the plot, Johnkai Starrail, March 7th and Grandpa Fraud are held up by Chinese Space Customs for having no passports. Fortunately, they are reduced to blood mist by the hitherto unmentioned immortal omnicidal PTSD plant menace created due to Yaoshi getting just a little too invested in Plants vs Zombies and trying to fuse the two.
The gang meet up with a fox lady named Tingyun. All you need to know about her is that she won the Best Head contest on the Buddy subreddit.
She takes the troupe of Nameless to her boss, Yukong, who's canonically a milf. Yukong tells them to screw off, so Johnkai Starrail demands to speak to the manager of China. She redirects them to Fraud Yuan.
Fraud Yuan realises this plot has been directionless for the past two hours and desperately trying to save this mess of a chapter gets Johnkai and pals to murder Shirou Emiya, because if anyone can fix a mess of a plot it's everyone's favourite sword.
...

Dong Hung does nothing but kill plants for two hours while Welt's boyfriend acts vaguely menacingly.

Dong Hung remembers he's one of the main characters and so banned from being irrelevant. However, being a lazy wad on account of the mere existence of his planet-shattering \*** consuming all his energy, leaving him with atrophied muscles in a medical condition commonly called "Twink*", Dong Hung can't be bothered to actually do anything of import.
Instead, he gets off the train, meets up with Welt's boyfriend and leaves all the plot to him since, like HI3, Otto handles everything.
In fact, Otto didn't die in HI3 because of the two scantily clad teenage girls beating him to death, but rather because his spine simply snapped after having carried the entirety of the plot for the past 15 years.
Suschlong is there too. According to the Honkai community, she has a very large cock.
...

Johnkai Starrail's custody battle comes to a head.

Johnkai Starrail and pals find Ms Cockroach, Johnkai Starrail's mother. Having been unable to convince the judges that she's the better parent to the woman whose coffee is considered worse than IX's gaze, she's decided to break the law and just take her son back through force.
With her incredible skills of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, she dominates the party, but then a tiny Asian woman appears with a slipper, and as small Asian women are the natural enemy of cockroaches, Kafka is immediately defeated.
They drag her to a giant calculator and she has a delusional rant on how:

• She's a slave of a cat.
  
• Everything is unavoidable.
  
• Johnkai Starrail needs to fistfight God shirtless on a tall tower in the rain one day.
  

Johnkai Starrail now understands how she lost the custody battle.
...

Johnkai hunts endangered wildlife for fun.

Fu Xuan lets the clearly mentally addled old mother go. March 7th then, bored, drives an endangered species of deers extinct.
Oh yeah, wait, this thing had a plot. Yeah. remember those weird plant immortal PTSD things? They originate from smoke apparently. And Johnkai and his friends go ahead to the smoke machines to-
Whoops. Recall Tingyun? The lady who won the "Best Head" contest?
Phantylia, Ravager of Destruction, severely misunderstands what "Best Head" means and snaps her head off.
...

Dong Hung gets penetrated.

Johnkai Starrail, severely traumatized, decides to halt the plot to have a beach episode.
There, he finds Dong Hung and Shirou Emiya aggressively "sword-fighting". However, Dong Hung's prowess with his 'polearm' is nothing compared to Shirou's skill with his 'blade' and Shirou penetrates Dong Hung.
This experience of having another man inside him causes Dong Hung to experience self-realization and transform into a flamboyant, horn-y version of himself surrounded by fluid.
...
Suddenly, Yanqing arrives. Ms Cockroach , Dong Hung and Shirou Emiya all set their differences aside to beat the small child to a pulp. Johnkai Starrail sees this and joins in on the fun, followed by March 7th, Grandpa Fraud, Phantylia, Nanook, IX, Aha, Acheron, Firefly, Screwllum, Gandalf, Roland, Gilgamesh, Doctor Who, Doraemon, Goku and everyone in the Honkaiverse and a few outside.
After atomising Yanqing, everyone has a great celebration and Shirou Emiya and Dong Hung reconcile over their shared love for violence. They put aside the old unpaid bill for McDonald's that caused a rift in their friendship, the High Cloud Quintet (named after how they'd all get together to get absolutely smoked every Sunday) years ago.
...

Johnkai Starrail and friends attack a giant lady's chest till she dies and go home.

Johnkai Starrail, Fraud Yuan, Dong Hung then go to Phantylia because they just remembered she's terminally ill with space cancer.
With Dong Hung's fluids, Johnkai Starrail's lance, Fraud Yuan and Grandpa Fraud doing absolutely nothing, they easily overpower her and steal her cancer, causing her to have to give up her Make-a-Wish gift of being a giant woman and turn back into a ball of fire which Fraud Yuan stuffs into a furnace.
The gang celebrates their victory by all inviting every single fictional character to have ever been to stage the world's largest JJK jumping and eradicate the very concept of Yanqing.
...

Johnkai Starrail gets arrested for tax evasion.

Sometime later, Johnkai Starrail thinks on the abrupt ending and ponders on the matter. Was there a moral to this? Why was Otto here at all? Is it true that Suschlong is in fact larger than Dong Hung?
His questions go unanswered as he is dragged kicking and screaming back to Belobog for tax evasion.
The rest of the gang look on baffled as the entirety of Space China subsequently collapses as while they took over a meth lab and murdered a giant woman, they kind of forgot to deal with the actual problem of the immortal unkillable serial killer plant zombies everywhere.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. Some worlds prosper, other worlds get railed.
Because this truly was our,

Honkai Star Rail!

Roll Credits!

So I, 22, had a hospital appointment yesterday that was out of town. I was there from 9am until close to 3 and didn't get back home until close to 5. To save phone battery, I also took a book with me to read in the waiting room between doctors. I had received a text from my mum (41) at close to 10:30 asking if I'm okay. By the time I saw it, I was then pulled into see a doctor and I completely forgot to text her back. By the time I got home I was exhausted and passed out on my bed. This morning I've received text messages from my mum and step dad, accusing me of purposely ignoring my mum, and my step dad even adding "It looks really sh*t when you ignore your own mum". So I sent a text to both of them apologising for not replying and explaining my situation yesterday. I then also added how hurt I was by the fact that the first thing they thought of was that I was ignoring her, rather that think if I was busy or just needed space. My mum has since text back saying how I really crossed a line saying that I was 'hurt' by them falsely accusing me, and now I don't know what to do. I feel like I must add that I never received any more texts except for that one yesterday, and no calls whatsoever. Also both my mum and step dad are well known as bad responders within the family, they'll either not reply at all afterc reading or take hours to respond.
So please, AITAH for snapping back at my mum? Any advice would be great, thank you :)

My practice has really pissed me off after they talked to me about pay. I just got my LSW and I live in the midwest. They've started making changes in how the practice is run as soon as I arrived a couple months ago.
We used to get paid a 50/50 split as LSWs but we were 1099 so we'd have to put money away for taxes. Now they're changing it to $40 per client across the board, even with families and couples. The kicker is this practice requires all therapists to see 35-40 people per week. No insurance. They're starting benefits just now like PTO and 401k but still no insurance.
I asked for 75k when asked my preference. They told me "oh but you will be making $75k yearly with 40 clients a week" and I'm like???? Yeah...by killing myself.
So, now i'm thinking about doing several things: leaving, talking to them about lower pay (not hopeful cause i don't think they'll budge, but i still think i'll give it a try), or again... f-ing leaving. But i'm just nervous and sad about leaving my clients who I have built a relationship with. Plus this place gives me my own office, business cards, it's walkable from my house, and they have the exact population i love.
I'm just so frustrated...any pointers you can give about my next steps would be helpful.

So I've noticed a lot of people when discussing the written test in the chunin exams will make some incorrect assumptions about what that test is actually testing. I think a lot of that has to do with taking what a lot of characters say at face value, forgetting that some characters can be deceptive, and not mean what they say (e.g. Ibiki and the other proctors), or else be naive or incorrect (e.g. Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura). So, I wanted to take some time to read into the test further to come to a new perspective on it, and maybe explain how some students (like Ten Ten) managed to pass, despite having really obvious cheating techniques.
Ok, so let's look at the test from the perspective of the test takers: they sit down to take a test, thinking they have to pass it (which is their first incorrect assumption), then realise they are absolutely out of their depth. But, they still notice some people making progress on the test (e.g. the two planted chunin ninja, maybe some other rare cases like Sakura, or ninja older than immediate Academy grads), and the idea of cheating has already been planted in their minds by Ibiki's rules. But with the idea that they have 10 points, and lose two points when they are caught cheating, and fail if they reach 0, many assume (like Sasuke) that the point is to cheat without getting caught. I've noticed, many fans take on this perspective too, and so find it ridiculous how Ten Ten, Kiba, etc. were never caught, despite that mirror contraptions and dogs barking would be obvious to anyone in the room. But I think it's because even someone like Sasuke has an incomplete perspective (i.e. this is still an incorrect assumption about the test), and so we should look at the test from a different perspective.
Now, let's look at it from the perspective of Ibiki and the proctors. They have engineered a situation where the exam entrants will have to cheat. Despite the rules implying that the students would be punished for cheating, they've actually designed a scenario to force or encourage students to cheat and thus display their ninjutsu techniques, which the examiners are looking out for. Not only that, the examiners know who the students will be cheating off (there were only 2 plants with all the knowledge), so the proctors would know where to look for cheating. Also, as this YouTuber pointed out, given that most of the applicants are from the leaf village, and the proctors themselves are also from the leaf village, they'd know exactly what cheating methods to look out for, for more than half of the entrants (i.e. watch for if that Uchiha kids eyes glow red, or the two Hyuga kids eyes start wrinkling, watch out for bugs because that Aburame kid is taking the test this year, etc.) Just like in the bell test though, there's nothing really a genin could think of that an elite level Jonin couldn't already be prepared for, so I'd say it's not about using techniques the exam proctors are unaware of, it's using the techniques you do have well enough for this constructed situation of information retrieval (and transfer).
So, that is this new perspective I am proposing. The idea wasn't actually to use Ninjutsu and not get caught, it was actually a display ninjutsu (the proctors actually wanted to see you using ninjutsu), but you had to do so competently (there's also a component of team work to it, but I'll get to that later). Let's take it back a few steps, how does one become a genin? To learn one or two basic ninjutsu (shadow clone or transformation jutsu), and perform so on test day. And how does one become eligible to enter the chunin exam? To be a genin (obviously) but also complete at least 8 missions. Now, the missions that Academy grads can take on can be quite low level (capture the Daimyo's wife's cat, to baby sit for the council of elder's, to dig up sweet potatoes, etc.) so obviously they don't just want to graduate someone who has only ever caught cats and dug up yams, you wouldn't even need the Academy level Ninjutsu to do so. I guess it could be assumed that a diligent enough ninja, with enough time and missions, could learn new jutsu in that time, and in my read, the "written" part of the exam is to select for the students who have trained and learned more than the Academy level techniques, or really select out the students who have been dragging their feet, not learning new techniques and not progressing past Academy level.
So looking at it this way, the chunin exams have several levels of filtration, so that only the competent ninjas make it through. For the first example, Kotetsu and Izumo were filtering out ninja who weren't even competent in detecting genjutsu from even applying to the exams. Next, Ibiki's test heavily leans towards filtering students with good ninjutsu techniques (and team work), and both the Forrest of Death and combat rounds half the number of entrants with each round, and heavily leans towards combat, taijutsu and survivial. Now, the reason why I say the exam proctors actually wanted to see ninjutsu is because, if it was really about not cheating, they could have lowered the threshold for not getting caught (e.g. three chances, or immediate failure for cheating), or else they wouldn't have allowed e.g. Kankuro to take a puppet in, Kiba to take a dog in, etc. They actually wanted to see the genin's use these techniques to their disposal, but to do so competently.
Let's go back to the example of an Academy grad that has learned no other ninjutsu. They not only have to pass the exam, but ensure their team mates do, all without losing 10 points. Another way of phrasing that is thay they have to complete the exam (gather information and pass it to their team mates) within 5 moves. Surely, if they do use both a shadow clone, and a transformation jutsu like they learned at the Academy, they could disguise the clone to look like a proctor (just like Kankuro's puppet did) to gather test information, but that would be 2 moves instead of Kankuro's one move. But then, to make sure your whole team passes, you'd have to do so twice again to send that information you found to each team member (i.e. another 4 moves, which would be a fail). Kankuro's puppets were detected by Ibiki, sure, but he wasn't failed, as he used fewer moves to both gather test information and pass it to Temari than this hypothetical Academy grad example. Also, as I've said, the proctors know the techniques of the famous clans of Konoha. They know the Yamanaka clan's mind transfer jutsu, they know about the Aburame clan and Inuzuka clan bug and dog rearing, they know the Uchiha and Hyuga clan dojutsus, and they want to make sure those select students have been diligent enough to learn those family techniques to pass.
So, knowing that the Byakugan, the Sharingan, ninja hounds or chakra beetles exist, the proctors know enough students will be able to complete all 10 questions on their own, but that's where the caveat comes in that if any student fails individually, their whole team fails. Techniques that only advantage yourself (Sharingan, Byakugan) mean nothing if you can't also advance your team (which is where Ino, Ten Ten and Kankuro, despite being obvious/getting caught, were actually in the right and got a pass). So just like the bell tests, they're not just looking for students who can advance themselves individually, but also those who can use techniques to advance their whole team (and again, it was the Konoha ninja that arranged these teams, they know what techniques these teams should use to pass together, they just want to make sure the students realise that on their own too.) So Neji's Byakugan allows him to pass on his own, but does nothing to advance his team. Neji does initially have a lot of the same self-serving arrogance of Sasuke, but Ten Ten looks out for Rock Lee (who would be heavily disadvantaged for not knowing any ninjutsu). And as ridiculous as her mirrors are, with them she is able to obtain an entire test's worth of information and transfer it to Rock Lee all in one move, which is why she didn't fail (and note: I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with Ten Ten, or even Kishimoto's efforts here. I do find her ridiculous mirror contraption funny, but I can also find reason why Kishimoto could show us something as ridiculous as this, yet still pass Ten Ten to the next round). That's why she wasn't failed, because she was able to show the examiners how she can use her techniques with ninja tools effectively to both gather and transfer information. Same as Ino, the Yamanaka clan mind transfer jutsu is well known in Konoha, and the hand signs are obvious, but within only 3 moves, she was able to gather a full test worth of information, and transfer it to both Shikamaru and Choji. Team Kurenei at least each had the means to pass individually (Hinata's Byakugan, Kiba's Akamaru and Shino's beetles), and they also had trust in each other to do so.
Yet this test really was to show us how unprepared team 7 truly was. By some fluke, Sakura knew enough to pass the test on her own, and Sasuke could pass with the Sharingan, but neither had any techniques or the team work necessary to pass this information to Naruto, like Ten Ten, Ino or Kankuro had for Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Choji and Temari. In fact, they were both essentially just gambling on the chance that Naruto wouldn't screw it up for them, which is not good team work at all. The last test question Ibiki posed was specifically designed to weed out teams that had no trust in each other (and I guess Naruto had enough trust in Sakura and Sasuke to pass, even if they didn't have trust in him. He was also confident enough to make the first move in his team before Sakura quit on his behalf). At this point in part 1, Kishimoto was still stressing the importance of team work. I.e. in the bell test, despite Sasuke's competence in Ninjutsu, he couldn't pass without trusting his other team mates (hence the following "lunch test"). In the Land of Waves, he started to trust Naruto's abilities with e.g. the Windmill Shuriken technique, but we also see he doesn't really trust Sakura either, even saying she is as bad as/worse than Naruto. It takes the Forrest of Death arc for him to forcibly rely on Sakura before he starts trusting her.
So getting back to the written part of the Chunin exams, it wasn't about completing the test, it wasn't even really about not getting caught, it was about displaying competency in more advanced level Ninjutsu, and also showing effective team work/trust in your team, which is why it was an effective test for team 7 at this part of the series. They had enough technical knowledge at this part of the series (or at least Sasuke and Sakura did), but they still were failing at team work. And so easily could have failed the whole test.
Tl:dr - the point of the written exam wasn't to "not get caught using ninjutsu/cheating" as Sasuke assumes, it was actually a display of using the right type of ninjutsu and team work (something Sasuke had a blind spot for) in as few moves as possible. Ten Ten was obvious, but passed because of this distinction, being able to pass herself and Lee on the test with her techniques. Yet Team 7, despite Sasuke and Sakura being discrete in their methods, almost failed because Naruto didn't have the sufficient ninjutsu on his own, and neither of his team mates had the sufficient ninjutsu or team work to transfer their answers to Naruto.

I've been dealing with my 2nd stint of PF for about 6 months now. I've been doing stretches and icing as recommended by my podiatrist and physical therapist. The PF is definitely improving and I only feel real pain after playing (running) in my co-ed softball league.
We are going to Universal Orlando for 7 days including their water park, Volcano Bay, in August. Our family loves theme parks and water parks and we have had this trip planned for over a year. I'm very nervous that the water park will mess up my PF progress. My PF started acting up after walking around barefoot for 2 days at Great Wolf Lodge (indoor water park). Volcano Bay has shoe bins at the bottom of every water slide or ride entrance and their policy states that you can't wear any shoes on any of the rides/slides. I posted in the Volcano Bay sub a few weeks ago and they said some ride attendance will let you wear water shoes on the slides but YMMV.
I have a pair of Crocs but I don't like wearing them. They don't make my PF worse but I just don't like how they fill/fit. My current plan is to wear them and then just leave them at the bottom of the slides and walk up the ride stairs barefoot. I also considered water shoes with some PF insole inserts. The PowerStep insoles work well for me but I've never tried them in water shoes. I'm willing to also try some kind of waterproof sandal or flip flops but I have never found a pair of flip flops that I find comfortable. I've also considered taping but I've never taped and I imagine the water would remove it pretty quickly.
Any help or experience you can provide would be appreciated!

Alright, i have some thoughts…
I have been a watcher of Shane for a very long time. Since high school (I’m 32). I’ve always had thoughts and concerns about his behavior over the years, but i digress…
I will start by saying that i am a mom of two little ones (1 and 4), so my experience with two babies is advanced. I live my days with them consistently. Only help i need is from my spouse. My husband and I are a team with no help and manage just fine.
Since Shane and Ryland have had their boys, I’ve definitely seen some signs that they may not have been ready for those babies and may have jumped super quick to have them. Yes, i know we only see a small portion of their lives, but every time we see them on YouTube they are always alone and the babies are with a nanny, or “napping”.
When Ryland is filming his podcast he has said that the babies will be with the nanny when he films while Shane is sleeping….can we say “privileged”?
Seems almost like they take advantage of the nanny doing the hard parts of the parenting and they step in for the easier parts, right? Why wouldn’t Shane be with his children while Ryland works? Or vise versa? I can bet that they even bring in a night nurse so they don’t have interrupted sleep….🙄
In Rylands vlogs, he makes it out to look like he is the only one doing baths and changes. Maybe he’s doing that while the camera is rolling to make himself feel more superior? Who knows. Ryland (in my opinion) can have very narcissistic behavior from time to time.
I’ve also noticed in Rylands vlogs that Shane tends to still sleep in while ryland goes about his day/morning so freely. I as a mom know that babies (especially two) are so needy! How do they manage to have so much free time?? Does this mean they have the nanny there every day to tend to the babies while they live their life?
My first bad taste in my mouth about them misusing the nanny was when they were needing her IMMEDIATELY when the boys were literally DAYS old. How about the bonding time? The adjustment to parenthood? Enjoying the short newborn stage? Every time ryland and Shane are filming they seem to just keep them locked in their room.
These twins are only a few months old and both Ryland and Shane seem to have so much free time alone. Maybe I’m just bitter because i lack a village or the money to hire a nanny, but in my opinion the essence of parenthood comes with some struggles that they aren’t experiencing. They are mainly focused on bringing in more money to feed Rylands “boujee” habits.
Which is also why i feel they will sell the house in Colorado. Ryland wants the “lifestyle for the rich and famous” so i can definitely see them choosing what’s right for them vs what’s right for their babies. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m just not convinced that they know what they’re doing. Yes, every parent needs a little help now and then, but the way they use their help is a little excessive, not giving them the time to be independent in raising their own children.

As the title suggest, should I do Jee? I will give a quick background check, for you to understand why I am asking this question. BEWARE,ITS A RANT
In, 2021, My father died because of covid, when I was like 12 years old(I was so called bright child), unkowingly at that time I did not know that I will suffer from pangs of depression, anxeity, and my dear little precious helplessness.
My finacial situation was quite good, you may say. I did not had any problems regarding money until my father passed, even after my passing of my father, he had bought a new house, had some insurances and we got some help from government and NGO.
Now, my father had 3 siblings, and my father was most educated among them, the other 3 siblings were 10 failed/Passed at most, my father came from a village, so did they but they did not got any jobs because of their education, so my father helped them get on their feets, buying one a taxi, making other a farmer at the village, and smallest one came with my father, and my father got him a tailor machine for now, and after some years got him some accounting works that, my father used to do, which salary is around 50k (MONTHLY) or more now.
My father and mother used to quarrel, all the time, they used to beat each other, while I watch the scene with my older sister, I was a scaredy cat, you may say but my sister used to step in to stop father from beating mother, we can say that my father had anger issues. But funnily enough, my fathers side or my uncles never stopped them from fighting even when my father was very unreasonable, even my fathers mother, It was like they were trying to break them apart. But on the bright side, even we were on the verge of divorce, my father never abandoned us, my father used to love us dearly, even though he may have disliked mother sometimes.
I never thought bad about my uncles or grandfathegrandmother even then, because when i visited them they always greeted me with a smile and always were kind to me, maybe it is because of those cartoons, that are heavily relied on kindness and love based theme, that I always forgot, how cruel people are.
After, my father died, the next day after the funeral, my fathers side called a meeting, and announed that they wanted the house, the 2nd house which my father had bought way earlier than our new house. My mother obviously did not want that, because of sister and my future. when my father was dying at the hospital, these so called brothers, did not know that, that their father had died due to heart attack at night, until morning.(Sometimes, I think they may have killed my father).
After, when my mother said, ''NO'' for giving the house for free, my smallest uncle who was residing in that house because of father (even then, my father took rent from his brother), took my grandmother to lawyers, and had her fill up the a Notice to the government and to us, about partaking in my fathers property, his insurances, and even his new home, my mother was devasted.
About, my mother getting my fathers job, as always corruption wins ( My mother is studying to get my fathers job at a university but its very unlikely to get the job because of corruption)
I cleared my 10th just now with 90 percent, with no real tuition, no one to teach me.
Any insurances and any compenstion have not been claimed by us because my grandmothers interruption, they all have a good source of income, every other 3 siblings, expect my mother, who goes to job, and studies at same time for like 10k month. Even when I did have to not suffer, or my mother or my sister, it seems its getting worse only, I can only see or do much. I have loosened very big chunk of weight, Have gained anxiety, fear of failure, procastination. I always wanted to become a scientist from a young age(Even though I am young now), I always wanted to do research, I always wanted to be studying, I always wanted to be intelligent, I wanted to achieve greatness but now all seems distant dreams now. Everyone, when I say I want to be a scientist, they say its amazing, Like I am small child, my uncles and some kids taunts me about being scientist, And sometimes I feel they are saying the truth.
My sister may not be clever or smart or intelligent as me but I have always thought she was a hardworker as she got 92% in ssc board, but she too have failed miserably in NEET. I always wanted my sister to do something worth mentioning in life, I wanted her to be a docter, but..
My sister panicked because of our situation, and chose a very bad class or a cheap one.
I do not want to do that, I believe that I can do jee because of my love for science, but I think I am the only one thinks like that, I am the only one who believe in me( Maybe I am saying a lie, right now).
But the good coaching are like 3 lakhs and more, and about the coachings classes scholarship, I am totally underconfident and I believe that I will totally underperform and Because of that fear of failure is eating me alive and I procastinate more as I do not want waste my mothers money, what I mean is I am thinking I should go college, get a mediocre education, get a mediocre job and live a totally mediocre life, maybe, because, it does not matter how much intelligent you are, if you are destined to mediocrity.
OR SHOULD I TAKE THE GAMBLE? SHOULD I BELIEVE IN INTELLIGENCE? SHOULD I PURSUE JEE? SHOULD I IGNORE MY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE SAKE OF DREAMS?.......
