2024.05.29 06:56 Potential_Meal_ What even am I any more!?

I never tried to make an op build before like bloodied builds. But I guess I still have one, that is probably shit cuz I can't do events at all solo. But I want to know what kinda mangled mess my character is considered. I don't know what else to call it other than, kinda a mutant build. My main focus in making my character was to survive and deal as much damage as possible. But without power armor.
I will list my gear and perks. I want to know what what people think and maybe learn to get a better Idea to get more out of it.
My special is currently:S.9 P.15 E.11 C.3 I.5 A.10 L.9
For strength I have:
1 traveling pharmacy to carry over 100 stimpacks
1 expert gladiator to boost my melees
2 bandolier to never run out of ammo
2 martial arts to boost melee
3 arms keeper to carry 7 rifles
For perception:
3 rifleman for damage
3 expert rifle for even more damage
3 master rifle for even more, more damage
3 tank killer to ignore power armor
3 concentrated fire for bonus damage and because I like vats once in awhile
Endurance:
5 ironclad to survive
2 adamntium Skelton to ignore broken bones
1 cannibal to ignore hungar
3 fire proof to ignore explosive damage
Charisma: I don't really care for this stat but I currently have 3 hard bargain( I'm a solo player and never use lone wanderer though I don't think I need it) only for meat weak though. I mainly use 2 field surgeon with 2 on charisma. I don't know where to put that one free point though.
Intelligence:
3 first aid to spam stimpack through heavy damage
2 gunsmith so I don't have to look for gun benches as often
Agility:
3 evasive for survival
3 action boy to make sure I have ap when I want it
2 white knight so I don't need armor benches as much
2 Goat legs to ignore cliffs
Luck:
2 scrounger to always have ammo
2 pharma farma to always have stimpacks
3 lucky break to keep my armor always with some durability
2 class freak to ignore all the negatives to my long list of mutations that Is still growing
As for legendary perks:
2 what's rad so I don't lose my precious mutations
3 perception for rifle man perks
3 agility for action boy
I'm only 127 so thats it for now.
In events I can survive just about anything but can't lay down much damage. But I'm fine with that. With all the automatics targeting the biggest targets, I can take out the little mobs that are just there to annoy, and I can annoy the big targets and keep their attention on me.
Now for the mutations:
Speed demon 😈 to move faster
Bird bone 🐦 this one I heard went nicely with marsupial 🦵. I can live with out this but I need all the mutations I can get. I hope I never develop vegetarian by accident.
Carnivore 🍖 to ignore hunger
Chameleon 🦎 useless as hell but hey gotta get them mutations
Electricly charge ⛈️ this one was random but welcomed
X factor I mean Healing factor to use less stimpacks
Plague walker was random, usless but sure why not
Scaly skin 🪨 for even more survivability
Unstable isotope random but hell yess
Ok now for my guns and armor after: if anyone read this far you can skip over most of this. I never seek out specific legendaries but I ended up with alot of good ones.
RIFLES:
RAILWAY RIFLE *** I got lucky with this random roll through legendary modules
Mutant's which hell yea. Rapid, not sure what it does. Steadfast. usefully. Standard reciever.
WESTERN SPIRIT***
FURIOUS. HITMAN'S. SWIFT. fierce reciever to ignore reloading this gun.
THE FIXER*** boring I hardly use it. Two shot. Last shot. Steadfast.
GAUSS RIFLE*** does alot of damage but to slow Zealot. Rapid. Ghost. All stock.
HANDMADE *** I think I bought his one from a player vendor. Berserker useless. Basher is meh, but I got the bayonet anyways. V.A.T.S. OPTIMAIZE this gun stills chew through my ap faster than any of my other guns. Hardened reciever.
SLUG BUSTER*** the holy grail of finds for me. It got anti armor, vital and weightless. I don't have to mod this gun. It came with exactly with what I would have slapped on there. Refined beta wave tuner, aligned sniper barrel, aligned stock, and medium NV scope. It's beatifull. And It can slap power armor players.
TESLA RIFLE*** I just love using this gun. Suppressor I'm sure helps. V.A.T.S. enhanced means I don't miss a shot. Durability which im very happy to have. It got the charging barrel but I might change it back to stock for dps over raw damage.
These are my primary guns but on the side I have other weapons for smaller fights or just cuz I'm bored.
Melee:
BLUE RIDGE BRANDING IRON*** I feel so lucky to have found this.
Instigating is kinda useful. Melee speed with 2 martial arts is intense. Strength is there.
REVOLUTIONARY SWORD*** this one I got martial arts for but then I ended up with the branding iron.
Assassin, can't complain. Melee speed yep. Cavalier is there.
Now for for the one I use for fun.
Thirst zapper, just a water gun 🔫
Flare 🤷‍♂️
And the fatman daisycutter*
It has weightless, I think I found alot of these but I dont where from. This one also have the MIRV launcher.
Ok now for armor:
I wear marine wetsuits underneath to be protected from water born diseases. It has resistance lining.
My backpack to carry more. 60+. No mods.
Secret service chest*** I made one and I love it.
Chameleon so now I can pretend my mutation works. Agility for which I hope evasive take account of. Frozen mixed with my other mutation that activate on Melee contact makes for a crazy time 🤪. Buttress of course. With jetpack cuz duh.
Secret service left leg*** I consider myself lucky. Only made 3 for this one.
Regenerator. Luck. Divers. It's just a beautiful list to me. Buttress obviously. Gunning for pocketed mods by the way but I'll see what is available before I but any mods.
Secret service right leg*** made one.
Unyielding again also hoping evasive takes into account. Intelligence is there. Reduced weapon weight is nice.
And for the last two are random garbage with life saver effect to survive more but that was before the mutations and and jetpack.
Finally that's it.......so besides being fun to play as a immortal muatated super freak that explodes in many ways on contact. What should I call this uh "build".

2024.05.29 06:55 IKnoDehwey I’m lost

This is my first ever post on here and I just needed somewhere to just tell someone. I (M22) have been struggling keeping myself in this world. I thought that multiple things could’ve helped me in fixing what I’m going through, but I’m losing interest in everything I used to love, I’ve been straying away from my friends, my family has begun to reject me from them, and I can’t seem to find anything to help. The worst I did was leave my girlfriend who would keep my grounded as much as she could. I’ve tried to look for someone but I can’t seem to be interested in seeing anyone or even wanting to pursue any kind of sex. The thought of ending it has come up more and more, the stress that has been placed on me has become overwhelming and I can’t keep up with it anymore. I’ve been picking up alcohol more everyday and found it harder to drop it. I was able to go sober for 79 total days and when I opened up about it to my family only to be put down and ridiculed for it. It brought me back to drinking everyday. When I don’t drink I think about taking my life, when I drink I don’t think about it but I know it’s not something I should be relying on. I don’t have close friends that I can talk to about this and every time I log on to social media it reminds me of how truly lonely I am and don’t really have any people I can call friend… if I were to die no one would know… it would take weeks for people to find out that I died and even then no one would really be devastated. I’ve had no significant impact in my family and honestly I’m just tired of being here. I’ve tried counseling and therapy but it doesn’t help, I also don’t want to go to an in person therapist as that’ll ruin some of the opportunities that I have coming up that I know could help my mental state. As of now I don’t know what to do and just live my life a day at a time constantly wandering around this earth not knowing why I’m even here. If I’m being blunt I don’t plan on being here for much longer…

2024.05.29 06:49 gaysexkitten I feel so irresponsible and stupid

I'm just so tired of people I love getting frustrated at me. It really sucks. I already feel irresponsible and like an air-head, so when they tell me those things when I lose my phone or a credit card, it feels way worse. Like they're confirming the negative self-perception I have of myself.
I just am so caught up with my brain, or whats in front of me, that I don't remember to make sure my phone is in my pocket, and then boom, it's gone. I lost it at a train station with no idea where it could have went.
Whenever this happens, I don't even bring up ADHD anymore. It shouldn't be an excuse. I just... make mistakes sometimes. But I know that ADHD makes it way easier for these things to happen.
I am so frustrated I live like this and it makes me angry when others feel they can get frustrated when I lose MY things. They're always so critical. It makes it hard to ask for help.
I'm really sorry. I'm really grateful for my things. I really do think my phone and credit cards and keys and bus passes are valuable. I'm just dumb sometimes. It was an accident.

2024.05.29 06:47 syfimelys2 How to speak to someone at Microsoft to help with account recovery (I am not in the USA)

Someone please help me. I’ve just moved to the other side of the world from the U.K. to NZ, and my Microsoft account has locked me out because of ‘suspicious activity’. I’ve done an account recovery form and could not have filled it with more accurate detail- I put all the recent email addresses I’ve had contact with, the exact subject lines, etc. (I am still logged in on my phone so can access emails for now). The only bit of the form I couldn’t complete is the previous password bit- I’ve had the same password for years and years, and can’t remember the previous ones.
The recovery request was denied despite this. I cannot lose access to this email. It contains my visa, all my important information, tax number etc. (Yeah I know I should have made copies and written stuff down).
This is the second time Microsoft has done this to me, and I lost access to my old email address forever. I offered to send ID, any documents proving it was me, and they still didn’t recover my email address. Please can someone help me avoid this happening again? I’m panicking.

2024.05.29 06:47 No_Damage_8927 Ozempic, but nothing for us

The medical industrial complex literally invented a weight loss drug, so people can lose weight without needing the self-discipline to eat healthy and exercise (I know technically it's for diabetes, but everyone uses it for weight loss and the pharmaceutical companies are fucking loving it). Meanwhile, our lives are completely ruined and we have jack shit. How was ME/CFS so massively ignored for decades? Fucking bullshit. I'm guessing they'll come up with a drug to make your teeth white without needing to brush them before we get anything that remotely helps us.

🔗Top-Quality 8.6 Blackout Reloading Dies for Accurate Rifle Cartridges


https://preview.redd.it/8uxmq7s2pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0803122c67e9bdcdfe9ceb81b1fd70dbb083fdf0
As a gun enthusiast, I was thrilled to try out the Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Set - 8.6 Blackout 91922. This set of precision reloading dies instantly became my go-to for my 8.6 Blackout rounds. The Full-Length Sizer allowed me to restore cases to their original factory dimensions, making for more accurate and reliable shots.
The Bullet Seating Die worked seamlessly with various point-style bullets and had a simple, yet effective finger-adjustable seating depth, which made it a breeze to use. Its tapered end was perfect for use with automatic bullet feeders.
The included Factory Crimp Die was a game-changer, as it effectively crimped bottleneck rifle cartridges, improving their utility and accuracy. Lee Precision's guarantee that no other brand would offer better bullet runout with full-length sizing dies gave me much-needed confidence in my reload ammunition.
Overall, the Pacesetter 3-Die Set - 8.6 Blackout 91922 by Lee Precision impressed me with its ease of use, precision, and reliability. However, it's important to note that the availability of components for some cartridges, such as 8 X 57, could be improved for a more comprehensive reloading experience.

🔗High-Quality 10" AR Pistol in 300BLK Caliber


https://preview.redd.it/0nc4rng3pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc2dbe4d13811c8929357be96ef14e93498f289b
I've been using the BBL AR-15 300BLK Pist in my daily life, and I must say, it's a unique and versatile experience. The first thing that stood out was its compact size, which makes it incredibly easy to carry around. However, the length can be a double-edged sword, as it can sometimes hinder mobility in tight spaces.
The user-friendly design makes it a breeze to operate, allowing smooth accuracy during target shooting. On the downside, I find the trigger a bit too sensitive for my taste, which can be a concern for beginners or those prone to accidents.
Overall, the BBL AR-15 Pist 300BLK offers a blend of convenience, power, and accessibility that can appeal to both novice and seasoned users. Its key features, such as the gas system, provide top performance for blasting through targets. However, the combination of its petite stature and delicate trigger mechanism might not be ideal for everyone's preferences.

🔗Affordable 3-Die Set for 300 AAC Blackout Cartridge


https://preview.redd.it/pt4l2r54pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b85ba337683999f313fec09b873031078e4faff5
As a passionate shooter, I found these Lee Precision Pacesetter 3-Die Sets to be a game-changer in my reloading process. These high-quality sets have been a life-saver for me, offering convenience and efficiency in every step, all while maintaining the utmost precision and quality that shooters deserve.
One of the standout features for me was the universal shell holder, which is a life-saver for anyone who reloads using multiple rifles. It's a must-have accessory that adds versatility and ease to the reloading process.
The colored spline drive breech bushings were also something I found particularly useful, as they make die identification a breeze. It means that there's no fumbling around or guessing which die to use when, everything is right there and clearly labeled for easy access.
The Full Length Sizing Die and Easy Adjust Dead Length Bullet Seating Die are top-notch components, providing the accuracy and control that comes standard with Lee Precision products. They made a noticeable improvement in the consistency and quality of my ammunition.
However, the sets did come with a factory crimp die, which, while useful, tends to be less versatile compared to a separate die designated specifically for crimping. Nevertheless, they still offer a comprehensive solution for the majority of reloading requirements.
Lastly, the powder dipper came in handy, and the instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow, making it a great option for beginners or people looking to switch up their reloading method.
In conclusion, Lee Precision's Pacesetter 3-Die Sets are truly a joy to use for anyone serious about reloading – offering top-notch precision, versatility, and convenience, all wrapped up in a remarkably affordable package.

🔗Lyman 204 Ruger Rifle Reloading Set for 300 AAC Blackout


https://preview.redd.it/642l0ws4pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2eaedfd9bc43f4ecb6a357266907bed28170e9d
The Lyman 204 Ruger Rifle Two-Die Set has been a game changer in my reloading journey. Featuring the Lyman Full Length Sizing Die- Bullet Seating Die with Roll Crimp, reloading jackets bullets for the bottleneck cases has been made easier than ever before.
The 7.8-inch-14 threads are versatile enough to fit all popular presses and the additional shell holder sold separately offers even more convenience. However, like any other set of dies, I've faced minor issues with stuck cases. But overall, the Lyman 204 Ruger Rifle Two-Die Set is a reliable and high-quality addition to my reloading arsenal that comes at a great value.

🔗Lyman 300 Blackout Reloading Trim Dies - US-Made Die for 7702101 Revolver Dies


https://preview.redd.it/d2asprd5pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5eb64576b5744eecb785d34a2dcbf32b7c456f13
My recent venture into reloading brass led me to a Lyman Trim Die 300 Blk, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. The die effortlessly trims the 300 Blackout brass to the perfect length, without the struggle that often comes with other tools.
What stood out most is the die's incredible quality, crafted from stainless steel for a lifetime of use. Its compatibility with various reloading presses is a bonus that adds to its convenience. It's like the Swiss Army knife of reloading dies, fitting seamlessly into your toolbox.
However, the die isn't without its flaws. I found that it had a rather rough finish, causing a few cases to stick. I had to polish the inside a bit to make them work properly. But hey, no tool is perfect, right?
Overall, I'd say the Lyman Trim Die 300 Blk is a dependable and efficient tool for anyone in the world of reloading. It's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

🔗Premium 300 Blackout Reloading Dies for Brass Cases


https://preview.redd.it/73ur8hy5pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70a505815cf93233ec2d22dae9fa4c568d5f18ad
Imagine walking into your local gun store and spotting the RCBS Full Length Die Set 300 Savage. As a seasoned hunter, you know the importance of a well-crafted reloading kit. The gleaming steel dies catch your eye, and you decide to give them a try. After all, the store clerk raved about their durability and accuracy.
Once home, you start to unpack the die set, feeling the smooth plastic storage case that houses the dies. The packaging is neat and professional, hinting at the pride the manufacturer takes in their product. You take out the dies, admiring the polished steel and the intricate details. The seating and sizing dies are a perfect match for your 300 Savage caliber.
As you begin the reloading process, you notice a few things that stand out. The sizing die is a breeze to use, easily handling the brass casings without any hiccups. The seat and crimp die is another story, though. You have to use a caliper to measure the depth and adjust accordingly, which is a bit of a hassle.
One aspect you appreciate is the lifetime guarantee from RCBS, giving you peace of mind that this product will last you a long time. However, you also discover that the lock ring on the seating stem is not as user-friendly as you'd hoped. It's so tight that you have to use vice grips to loosen it. This is a bit of a disappointment, especially since you're accustomed to smooth operation from your previous reloading dies.
Despite these small drawbacks, you find the RCBS Full Length Die Set 300 Savage to be a reliable and high-quality tool for your reloading needs. The durability and accuracy make it a worthwhile investment, even with the slight issues you encounter. Overall, it's a solid choice for any hunter looking to save on ammunition costs and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting their own rounds.

🔗Redding 300 Blackout 7.62x35mm Full Length Die Set - Seater Die


https://preview.redd.it/86dr2sf6pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b125b44f912608e52f9fbf621414225a97b09a82
I had the chance to give the Redding Full Length Die Set a try, and the experience was a rollercoaster ride.
The idea of getting a full set for 300 Blackout sounded enticing at first, but once I got my hands on the set, I began to have some doubts. Some of the dies looked smaller than others, which threw me off right off the bat. Despite the unusual size, I went ahead and tried out the set.
The decapping/expander unit was a standout feature in this set. It did a great job taking apart new shells while leaving the necks smooth. On the other hand, the seating die left me scratching my head. It made my bullets come out with noticeable scratches on all sides, which made me question the overall quality of this set.
Another feature that caught my attention was the plastic storage case. It was an impressive touch, and it certainly added some convenience. The spare decapping pin and the included Allen wrench were also nice touches.
Overall, the Redding Die Set had its moments, but it also left a lot to be desired. Some parts were good, while others were not up to par with what I've come to expect from the brand. It's tough to say if I'd go for it again or not, but my experience definitely gave me some insights into the set.

🔗Hornady Series I Custom-Grade 2-Die Set for 300 Remington Ultra Magnum

https://preview.redd.it/4qfe40r6pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fa4fca97450f89b6729004e26fadea4d4fabddd

I've been using the Hornady Series I 2-Die Set for my 300 Remington Ultra Magnum firearm, and I must say, it's been quite the experience. The die set is well-crafted, ensuring a lifetime of reloading without breaking or wearing out. It boasts a sleek Zip Spindle design that eliminates spindle slippage, making adjustments much easier.
One of the most impressive features of these dies is the die locking rings, which keep everything secure during the reloading process. However, I found that the full-length sizing and bullet seating design could be a bit tricky to manage for newcomers to reloading.
Another small drawback is the absence of a shell holder, which might be a slight inconvenience for some users. But overall, I've had a fantastic experience with this product. Its durability and smooth operation make it a solid choice for those seeking reliable and long-lasting reloading tools. So, if you're in the market for new dies and haven't given Hornady a try, I highly recommend giving them a shot.

🔗High-Performance Lyman 7701028 Pro Die Pack for 300 Blackout Reloading


https://preview.redd.it/iiy5sod7pa3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c271aa37b73db3510f53d4cd0564853e86a197e0
As a reloader, I've been using the Lyman Pro Die Pack 300 Blackout for a while now and I have to say, it's a game changer. The dies are perfectly engineered for top performance and I can really tell the difference in the quality of my ammo. One of the features that stood out to me is the use of stainless steel in the size, seat, and crimp dies, making them rust-resistant and long-lasting. The sizing dies with carbide rings are particularly impressive for their wear resistance and reduced sizing force.
However, I do have a few nitpicks. The set comes with fewer dies than I'd prefer, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Also, the micrometer adjustable seating die is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it works great. Overall, I highly recommend the Lyman Pro Die Pack 300 Blackout to anyone looking to take their reloading game to the next level.

Recently, I had the chance to try out the Hornady Custom Grade 8.6 Blackout 2-Die Set for my 300 Blackout reloading process. I found it to be an impressive and efficient tool in my reloading arsenal. The Zip Spindle feature in the Full Length Sizer Die was a game-changer, making it extremely easy to fine-tune adjustments. The floating bullet alignment sleeve added to the accuracy of the bullet seating, which was a great bonus. However, I did find that it might have been a bit overkill for an average reloader like myself.
One slight downside was the lack of the Shell Holder included in the package, which made it necessary to purchase it separately. Nonetheless, the overall experience using this 2-Die Set was highly satisfying, and I would definitely recommend it to fellow reloaders.

I recently got my hands on the Ultimate Die Pack for 300 Blackout, and I'm ready to share my take on it. First things first, these dies are incredibly smooth to use. The accuracy and precision they provide are quite impressive, even for a beginner like me.
One of the things that stood out for me is the set's versatility. The 6-die set has you covered for all kinds of reloading needs. Whether you're looking to resize, trim, or even crimp, these dies handle it all seamlessly.
However, there were a few downsides too. I found that the instructions could have been more clear and straightforward. A beginner might struggle a bit with the initial setup, but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing.
All in all, the Ultimate Die Pack for 300 Blackout is a solid choice for anyone looking to take their reloading game up a notch. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I'm confident this set will be a valuable addition to any reloader's toolbox.

The RCBS fl Die Set in. 300 RCM is a powerful addition to any reloading enthusiast's arsenal. With over 60 years of expertise in the reloading industry, RCBS has crafted a Two-Die set that offers exceptional quality. Vent holes on the die set help prevent case damage, while the convenient seater die sports a bullet seater plug and built-in roll or taper crimp.
After using the RCBS fl Die Set for a few weeks, I experienced some minor inconveniences. The sizing die left the case with an oversize dimension, making it slightly harder to chamber. However, the die set still delivered impressive results in terms of accuracy and shooting performance. The die set managed tight three-shot groups within 0.4-0.6 inches at 100 yards, showcasing its exceptional quality. Despite the tiny hiccup, the dies proved to be the best on the market, offering outstanding value.

I recently had the chance to try out the Hornady Die for reloading my bullets for different projects. To begin, the die's thread pattern was a breeze to work with, offering a smooth and satisfying experience as I handled it. The floating sleeve was a game-changer, ensuring that the bullet and case aligned properly before seating, preventing any deformities at the base of the bullet.
Using the Hornady Die with various bullets, such as the A-Max and FTX, produced some impressive results in terms of accuracy and precision. The die's compatibility with a wide range of bullets made it a versatile and practical option for my needs. On the other hand, not having a shell holder included could be a minor drawback for some users, but the extra features like Die Locking Rings and the storage box made up for it.
The Hornady's lifetime warranty added a layer of confidence and security to my experience with the die. However, a user had an issue with receiving the wrong die set, which could be worrying for potential buyers. I would recommend this product to avid reloaders looking to improve their bullet seating and accuracy while taking advantage of its unique features and versatility.

Buyer's Guide

When it comes to 300 Blackout reloading bullets, there are several important factors to consider before making your purchase. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision.

Types of Bullet Materials

One of the first decisions you'll need to make is which type of bullet material to use: brass or steel. Brass bullets are known for their durability and ease of resizing, but they may be more expensive. Steel bullets are generally less expensive, but they may not be as resizable.

Bullet Weight and Design

When choosing the weight of your 300 Blackout reloading bullets, consider the specific use of your ammunition. Heavier bullets will typically have better stopping power, but they may also cause more recoil. Lighter bullets can be more accurate at long distances.
As for bullet designs, consider whether you want a full metal jacket (FMJ), hollow point, or other type of bullet. Each design has its own advantages and disadvantages, so do your research before making a decision.

Brand Reputation

When you're purchasing reloading bullets, it's important to consider the reputation of the brand you're buying from. Look for brands that have a history of producing high-quality ammunition and bullets.

Price and Quantity

Finally, consider the price and quantity of the 300 Blackout reloading bullets you're purchasing. Look for deals that offer a reasonable price per bullet, and consider purchasing in bulk if you plan on doing a lot of reloading.

Safety and Storage

Once you have your 300 Blackout reloading bullets, it's important to store them safely and securely. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity, and be sure to store them separately from your guns and ammo.
Choosing the right 300 Blackout reloading bullets can be a daunting task, but by considering the factors outlined in this guide, you can make an informed decision and get the most out of your ammunition.

Last August I started taking a tablespoon of ACV first thing in the morning and I swear I haven't taken any antacids since and I was taking FamatIdine twice daily at 40mg for years along with other antacids. It also helped me lose weight and I really believe it keeps my stomach biome right where it should be. It has to be the first thing you do on rising I take it with about 8oz of water. I've also started taking a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and that helps with digestion and constipation or diarrhea. Not saying it's for everybody but for me, it's been a godsend. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.

2024.05.29 06:38 acynicalasian Tabi for incredibly clammy feet

Hi, I’m a non-bogu that’s participated in my university’s kendo club for roughly eight months now. We recently had an intercollegiate tournament and it made me really acutely aware of how much I’m struggling with my footwork.
I’ve linked two different types of tabi and I wanted people’s opinions on what type I should get. After the links, I’ve posted a longer explanation for my situation to proactively answer people who might say it’s merely a problem with technique.
https://www.e-bogu.com/Yamaya-Tabi-p/hir-pro-yamatabi-r.htm
https://www.e-bogu.com/Tabi-Foot-protector-Right-Foot-p/ank-pro-tabiright-.htm
My feet are so severely clammy/sweaty that even when I try to glide my feet around on the dojo floor while standing around (applying near zero weight to the balls of my feet), they still stick/drag a lot. I figured I might be able to fix my footwork eventually if I just put enough work in, but I think I came to the realization that my feet are so sticky that it’s causing me to hesitate with zanshin because I don’t want to trip from my feet sticking. I brought up my concerns to my sensei, who suggested tabi given my clammy feet and my previous struggles with footwork due to mild knock knees and very flat arches. I think the fact my sensei suggested tabi kinda goes to show that my struggles with footwork genuinely are severely compounded by physical constraints, not to mention I trust my sensei’s suggestions and that they’d know my situation best, but I wanted additional perspectives. Thanks for the help!

2024.05.29 06:38 PersimmonEmotional27 I don't understand the difference between anxiety and OCD

I've always categorized myself as an anxious person. But my symptoms have been getting worse over the years (even though my life overall has been getting better) and I'm just so tired and fed up.
I'm always cycling through a few different fixations.
I either get super fixated on my weight/health/body ("You're fat and ugly, and if you don't lose weight now, [various bad things] will happen to you"), and then I start trying to lose weight and spend days researching how to effectively do so, which exercises I should do, what foods I should eat, etc.
Or I obsess over work. Suddenly that benign piece of feedback gets interpreted as, "All of your colleagues and your manager think you're bad at your job. You're underperforming. You're a failure and the worst worker in this company", and then I start pulling all-nighters for a few weeks. Working from 7am to 1am the next day, cannot get my mind to stop thinking about work. Because if I'm constantly working and putting in the hours, I can't be a bad worker. I have to solve the work problem, by any means necessary.
Or I start focusing on my relationship and my boyfriend and start nitpicking things that are wrong with him and wrong with the relationship. And then I spend countless nights, until 4 in the morning researching on google and reddit on if this is the right relationship or if I need to break up with him. And its all I can ever think about.
But none of these fixations fall underneath OCD. They're all normal things to worry about. But they're consuming my mind ALL THE TIME, even when I'm trying to focus on other things and trying to either be productive at work or trying to enjoy my leisure time. I can't get my brain to shut the fuck up and just let me be. And sometimes these thoughts get so overwhelming that I break down, have trouble breathing and feel my throat is closing up on me. Or I start hitting myself on the head to try to get the thoughts to stop.
I'm just so tired and want to have more mental space to do things I enjoy.
Sorry. Probably not the right space...just needed to vent. I plan on asking my therapist next week on seeing if I can get an evaluation for something.

Hey everyone!
Am hoping by writing this to be able to get some perspective by any one who happens to have the same experience as mine.
It’s all started at 2018 in October when I got heavily chest symptoms, therefore I went immediately to the hospital. They do all the blood test and ECG, everything looked normal except for my troponin T levels, which wasn’t so high it was around 20 and the normal in 15>. My episode of this went back and forth for the past 5 years or so, which basically limited my life activities. I used to be active basketball player whom at the end stoped my activities because of the unknown reason of my troponin T slightly rising levels. HOWEVER I stopped all activities for around 2 years and did my tests which shows normal levels of troponin T which was 13mg. Furthermore yesterday I felt little but sick with some weird feeling in the chest, I went to the hospital and the checked me and my troponin levels were 16mg, so slightly above normal levels, still yet i have great blood work and every thing looks normal! My heart rate is 55 so it’s should be good I guess.
OBS! My question is what is wrong with my troponin T why is it so unlikely to go to little and not like normal sick humans up to 400mg or so?? Am not smoker nor alcoholic Pearson. I sleep early and eat organic great diet with no processed food.
If someone have any idea or any similar situation to this, or happen to have experience in this field. Please help!! Thank you in advance

2024.05.29 06:35 blurryturtle 2024 Roland Garros Women's Singles Round Two Wednesday Matches

Wednesday WTA matches are below. I'll put the Thursday matches up tomorrow in the evening EST.

Swiatek vs Osaka :

Iga Swiatek will have a very high profile matchup in round two, and it should be entertaining tennis. Osaka has played admirably in her return to clay. She’s trying her best, she’s problem-solving on court, she’s complimentary to her opponents, and she’s winning matches. To do all that post-pregnancy and post-clay struggles is a great thing in itself, and it’s good to see her enjoying tennis again. Her backhand inside out remains one of the best on tour, and her serve and power are enough to making this interesting. 3 sets with Bronzetti indicates she probably won’t get within striking distance of Swiatek, but Bronzetti will make you really earn a win so it’s a solid second round performance.
The courts in RG are playing slow, and as DC insider redswader pointed out, the rainy conditions are making them even slower. It makes it really tough to hit through Swiatek, and she isn’t just a defensive test. She has the windmill forehand technique that Rafa made famous, and her backhand moves the ball well and is fairly hard to read. This should be fun, but Swiatek in 2 by at least 3 breaks.

Fett vs Bouzkova :

If you like 20 shot rallies, this is the match for you. Jana Fett has tons of experience, and is finding herself back on tour for the first time in a while. She’s a solid baseliner, and is playing someone who is best described as a wall. Bouzkova rarely misses with her backhand, and her defense and speed are good enough to keep her consistently in the top 50 on tour. Bouzkova is expected to be the stronger player here, but I don’t see a great way for her to win quickly. Her serve isn’t particularly great, and Fett beat a solid player in Bouzas Maneiro. Bouzkova in 2-3.

Golubic vs Potapova :

Big surprise for Golubic to beat Krejcikova in round one, and yet not a surprise at all for Krejcikova to lose in round one. Barbora has been really inconsistent for a while now, and Golubic is more than capable of keeping the ball moving enough to benefit if Krejcikova is spraying errors. Annnnnnnd she was. 51 unforced errors in total, although 34 winners is also pretty impressive.
Potapova won’t help Golubic win here, and she just hit through a similar test in Kamila Rakhimova. Potapova hits real big, and she’s hungry for these wins. I expect her to win in 2.

Wang Xinyu vs Tomova :

Tomova was expected to give Alexandrova trouble, but Alexandrova forgot to give Tomova trouble. It sets up a very winnable second round for Tomova. She hits a heavy heavy forehand and on these slow courts it really works. Wang is through after besting Niemeier in 3, and while she’s not at her best on clay, she has good enough tennis to win. This reminds me a bit of the Arnaldi Fils match. Wang has the game to beat Tomova if she’s patient, but she tends to go big a bit too often for clay and Tomova’s game doesn’t really fluctuate. Alexandrova is a better win than Wang on paper, but Alexandrova helped by making errors. I expect this to be closer. Tomova in 3.

Collins vs Danilovic :

Collins’ run continues. Danilovic is playing sharp, but the type of pressure that Danielle Collins applies can really bother anyone on tour. Danilovic needs to keep her first serve percentage high, and last round it was only at 59%. That’s not bad, but you want it higher against Collins. The good thing for Olga is she might be able to put some pressure on Collins’ serve with the power she has from the baseline, but the bad news is she’s lefty and going crosscourt will get her in trouble since Danielle loves to trade crosscourt with her backhand and tends to create a larger angle and more depth on every subsequent swing. Collins in 2.

Vekic vs Kostyuk :

Vekic got a forfeit, and playing fresh can be a big advantage. Kostyuk and her both have a similar approach. They hit hard, the end. Vekic does have dropshots at her disposal, but I think Kostyuk is a slightly better mover and in these slow conditions it’ll be tough to hit through her. A long match with Pigossi will have her hitting well also, so Kostyuk in 3.

Siniakova vs Paquet :

Huge surprise win for Paquet in round one, and I realized today I’ve been spelling her name wrong for a while (adding the c before the q). Sorry about that. Anyway, beating Shnaider is great, but I did not catch much of the match so I’m not sure how that happened. Siniakova is projected to win here, and aside from the Shnaider result there’s not much to argue against that. Somehow they’ve played twice with Katerina winning both, but those wins were in 2016-17. Siniakova in 2, but I would get too specific with any predictions here since Paquet is playing at home and her game is entirely built around her serve.

Volynets vs Vondrousova :

Volynets and Vondrousova has the potential to last 2 hours even if it’s a straight setter. Vondrousova has more ways to score here, but Volynets commitment to defense has elevated her game. Those little squash gets and lobs might get dismissed once, but having to execute over and over can draw errors, and Volynets speed can make people force shots. Vondrousova isn’t exactly automatic on her offense. Despite the hype, Volynets will have a really hard time scoring on Marketa, so I think extending rallies is the best she can do. Vondrousova in 2-3.

Gauff vs Zidansek :

Gauff didn’t bother with her usual slow start here. As she gets more comfortable on tour, the rough performances are less and less frequent, and she rights the ship and wins some of those anyway. Zidansek was a clay specialist and a mainstay on tour, but her game has fallen off a bit due to some injuries and inactivity. This should be fun, but Gauff should be a break better in each set. Gauff in 2.

Wang Yafan vs Yastremska :

Big win for Wang in round one. She’s ranked 68 now, but just a season ago she was winning Challenger events and hinting at a move inside the top 100. Wins at majors are hard to come by, so this was great for her. Her variety and defensive style might give Yastremska a bit of trouble here. Yastremska is supposed to win though, and she’ll have ample time to figure it out. Yastremska in 2-3.

Samsonova vs Anisimova :

Samsonova crushed Linette in round one and is a deserved favorite here, but Anisimova’s win should not be overlooked. Sramkova almost beat Ostapenko (third set tb) and has been one of the big surprises in the clay swing. Anisimova has a decent chance to beat Samsonova here but it will take her best tennis. Samsonova didn’t face a breakpoint in round one, and will likely continue to play well here. Anisimova has the h2h 2-0, but both were close. Conditions are better for Samsonova, and while I’m expecting this to be very close there really isn’t a result that would surprise me here. Both players’ levels can deviate a great deal, and both are lights out when their offense is flowing. Samsonova in 3.

Bucsa vs Cocciaretto :

Haddad Maia continues to struggle to close matches out. Cocciaretto was down a set against her but managed to win in three. It wasn’t smooth sailing and there were a number of breaks exchanged, but Haddad never really regained her best form. It sets up an interesting match against one of the tour’s more unsung but likely phenoms. Cristina Bucsa hits the ball huge despite appearing to only weight about 15 pounds. Her frame is light, but she will hit winner after winner when she’s in a rhythm. This matchup is all offense.
Cocciaretto has a better backhand and a better serve, but Bucsa moves better and ended the match with Starodubtseva in excellent form. Vaguely expecting this to go 3, but it’ll require Bucsa to avoid the errors that had her down a break early against Staro. Bucsa in 3. Feels wrong to type is but I think she’s ready to win.

Ostapenko vs Tauson :

Their two previous meetings have gone three sets, and both are playing decent. Ostapenko isn’t at the level that won her a RG title in 2017, but her offense is big enough to give Tauson trouble. Tauson probably isn’t quick enough to defend against Ostapenko’s onslaught, but her serving is good enough to keep her out of trouble for some portion of the match. Basically, neither player can run down their opponent’s power. I think Ostapenko actually has more stamina in this matchup, which is rare to say. Ostapenko in 3.

Kenin vs Garcia :

Another really hard match here. Kenin has beaten Garcia in all three of their meetings, but none of them were on clay and her current level should be considered independent of all earlier performances. Kenin is not the same player that challenged for major titles, and from round to round her level can disappear. She won a surprise in round one against Siegemund, and that’s actually the level she’d need to give Garcia trouble.
Garcia needs to isolate Kenin’s forehand to win this. Her own forehand is her best weapon, and if she’s serving well she should win the match. For Kenin, she needs to keep the ball in difficult spots for Garcia. Height, slices, and dropshots. Force Garcia to create her own power, because if you give Garcia pace she redirects incredibly well. Expecting another 3 setter here. Garcia in Garthreeya? Awful, awful joke. The h2h makes me think I’m wrong, but Garcia has simpler ways to score here. I’d avoid trusting me here because I didn’t see the Kenin/Siegemund clash.

Fernandez vs Wang Xiyu :

This is a fun one. Fernandez is clearly better on clay, and should win. All that is true, but Wang has so much power that it might not be possible for Fernandez to win in straights. Earning every point is tough, and early on in Fernandez’s career she had trouble against the bigger hitters on tour. Fernandez in 3.

Osorio vs Jabeur :

Osorio Kalinina was one of the most exciting matches of the entire first round, but it ended sadly in a retirement. Kalinina was hitting the ball huge and constantly breaking Osorio’s serve. Osorio was defending with incredible heart and managed to get back into the game multiple games each set. In the end, Kalinina had to withdraw. I had her beating Jabeur with the level she was at, but I think Osorio will have a tougher time. Jabeur looked pretty good in round one, and despite her slump, clay is still a great surface for her. She’ll be able to dominate from the baseline with power in the same way that Kalinina did, and Osorio had a really hard time holding serve so Jabeur should win. It’s always a big should with Jabeur, and with her sort of slump Osorio will know that it is possible to outlast her. Maybe not physically, but mentally. Jabeur can get discouraged, so this is a risky spot. Jabeur in 2 or Osorio in 3.

🔗45lb Body-Solid Olympic Weight Plate with Quad-Grip Design


https://preview.redd.it/fkadc1g2na3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea19eed07f78482c9fc3a4417c1dff44a750656a
As a fitness enthusiast myself, I recently got the chance to upgrade my weightlifting setup with the Body Solid 45 lb. Rubber Grip Olympic Plates. The first thing that caught my eye was the quad-grip design. Unlike traditional plates, this one has four grips making it super safe and convenient to use.
One of the main highlights of these plates is their durability. The heavy-duty rubber casing not only gives them a professional look but also ensures they won't damage any surface including walls, floors, or even the barbell itself. Plus, it has a metal sleeve that securely fits onto any Olympic bar, providing a smooth and sturdy experience while lifting.
However, there's one downside - the weight. Coming in at 45 pounds, these plates can be quite heavy for beginners or those with lower strength levels. But for those serious about weightlifting, this is a small price to pay for such high quality and reliable equipment.
Overall, the Body Solid Rubber Grip Olympic Plates offer a safe, easy-to-use, and durable solution for anyone looking to enhance their weightlifting experience.

I've been using the Titan Fitness 45 LB Economy Bumper Plate for a few weeks now, and I must say, it's been quite a game-changer in my home gym. The low bounce rate and raised plate lip make picking up and changing weights a breeze, even during high-intensity sessions.
One of the standout features of this plate is its sturdiness. Despite its low cost, the plate feels robust and durable – perfect for those heavy lifting days. The grip quality is also notable; I've had no issues with the plate slipping from my hands while loading or unloading it on the barbell.
However, there are a few downsides worth mentioning. Firstly, the smell of rubber can be quite strong at first, but it tends to dissipate after some time. Secondly, some reviewers have reported minor blemishes on the product, though this hasn't affected its performance in my experience.
All in all, the Titan Fitness 45 LB Economy Bumper Plate offers a high-quality, budget-friendly option for those looking to start or enhance their home gym setup. Its easy handling and sturdy design make it a reliable choice for both beginners and seasoned lifters alike.

I recently picked up a set of Everyday Essentials' color-coded Olympic bumper plates for my home gym, and I'm pleasantly surprised with what I got. They're a perfect blend of affordability and quality.
Firstly, the solid stainless steel inserts and high-density rubber have helped in protecting my floor and lifting platform from potential damage caused by dropping heavy weights. The color-coding makes it incredibly easy to identify weights at a glance, which saves a lot of time during intense workout sessions.
However, there were a few drawbacks worth mentioning. Some users reported an unpleasant rubber odor upon opening the boxes, but I experienced this faintly and it faded away after a week or so. Additionally, a couple of my boxes arrived in tatters, but fortunately, the plates inside were all intact and undamaged.
All in all, the Everyday Essentials' Olympic bumper plates offer great value for anyone looking to set up a cost-effective gym. They're reliable, easy to use, and perfect for strength training, weightlifting, and CrossFit workouts. I'm definitely considering buying another set soon!

I recently got my hands on an Interlocking Olympic Weight Plate, specifically the 45 lb version, and it's been a game-changer in my workout routine at home. The unique interlocking design gives me the flexibility to stack a variety of weights on the barbell, making my workout sessions much more versatile and effective. The strategically placed handles are an absolute lifesaver - they make loading and unloading the plates super easy, saving me from straining my fingers.
This plate is perfect for everything from school weight rooms to commercial settings, owing to its robust construction and innovative design. It's a must-have for anyone serious about their fitness. However, the only downside I encountered was the weight plate's size and thickness, which take up quite a bit of space on the collar. Nevertheless, this minor inconvenience doesn't detract from the fact that these weight plates are a worthwhile investment for any fitness enthusiast.

I recently got my hands on the CAP Barbell 45 Lb Olympic Weight Plates, and I must say, they've been quite a game-changer in my workout routine. These plates come in a variety of weights, allowing me to customize my workout sessions perfectly. The machined center hole and the baked enamel finish make them incredibly easy to handle and incredibly sturdy.
However, not everything has been perfect. Upon receiving my plates, I noticed inconsistencies in the weight, which can be a major concern for anyone serious about weight lifting. There were also instances of uneven paint application and rough edges on some of the plates.
The highlight of these weight plates is certainly their durability. Despite the rough handling by the courier, the cast iron plates arrived at my doorstep with only minimal damage. This durability ensures they can withstand the rigors of a hard-core workout session in the long run.
The design of the CAP Barbell 45 Lb Olympic Weight Plates could use some improvement. The oversized hole makes it difficult to fit onto some barbells, and the unbalanced weight distribution causes the plate to tilt while in use, adding an unnecessary level of complexity to an already intense workout.
Despite these shortcomings, the CAP Barbell 45 Lb Olympic Weight Plates provide a cost-effective and durable option for those looking to enhance their workout sessions. However, it's crucial to keep an eye out for any inconsistencies in the weight and improve the design for better usability.

2024.05.29 06:32 Narrow_Hyena_3641 Friendship falls apart due to me having a seizure

This started last summer when I got a traumatic brain injury and developed epilepsy as a result. Me and ex-friend were extremely close until my very first seizure happened at his place. His texts to me became dry and spotty, despite still talking with our other mutual friends.
This lasted for weeks, so I asked him a few times upfront if there was anything wrong.. each time prompting a different response. At first it was that ‘nothing was wrong and that he was busy’ then it was that he was too stressed to talk to anyone, etc.
BUT then he told me that he couldn’t handle this much negativity right now and that he had no idea how to help me with my seizures and didn’t want to be around when I have one and make it worse. This was nothing short of frustrating given the fact he never communicated these concerns to me.. but was trying to be understanding regardless.
Few weeks pass and all of our friends are hanging out. This is our first time seeing each other since then. He is horrible and rude to everyone the entire night. I lost my ability to drive due to seizures so my other friend drove me that night. So he decided to question me on if people can even afford to keep driving me around everywhere despite my family paying for my friends gas and it not being an expectation at all. I sob afterwards because I felt embarrassed. I communicated with him once I calmed down a bit and it didn’t go well.
Due to how horrible this night goes things fall out pretty heavily. He leaves all our group chats then tells me im somehow isolating him from the one thing keeping him alive (he was talking about being suicidal just before this). He reveals he’s jealous people care more about my seizures than his mental health. Any time I bring up not liking what he’s saying to me he starts saying I am misinterpreting his messages and implying it’s my brain injury.
I am currently stuck in a friend group with him months later and every time I think he’s changed he continues to disappoint me. I also don’t love gossip so I kept a lot of this mostly to myself. Most of my closest friends I met through him and they’re incredibly kind. I feel trapped because I’m kind of worried about losing these other people by disconnecting from him. We only ever hang out in group activities really. Any advice? It’s been a nightmare

2024.05.29 06:30 mrgnstrk Thinking of migrating to the US via F1/student visa route? Start here.

I've commented a few times in a few posts about my family's experience going through the F-1 to H-1B to GC route to migrate to the US and I've received a lot of questions over the DM, many of which I thought were pretty basic. I thought it might be helpful to put this primer together so folks know the right questions to ask and approach their planning more strategically.
This post is going to be very candid. I've noticed that the questions I've received come from misconceptions about higher education, F-1 visa, and what comes after graduation. I want to give folks the right information, but also temper expectations and give a realistic portrait of what it means and takes to use the student pathway to legally and permanently reside in the US. It is not a stroll in the park, and I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea.

BACKGROUND

Two of my siblings plus myself are all here in the US via the student visa route. I received my green card in 2021 after being in the US for nearly 4 years. After receiving my Masters at a prestigious university, I was hired immediately by an organization willing to sponsor my H-1B, which they did so after two years of employment under STEM-OPT work authorization. My employer started putting together my I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, which is the start of the process for an employment-based green card) shortly after receiving approval of my H-1B. As the paperwork was being put together, my partner and I decided to get married and I switched from employment-based green card to marriage-based green card. The employment-based green card would have added around a 3 year wait if we went through with it, while my marriage-based green card was approved in less than a year.
Both my siblings are currently in the same pathway. One received their Bachelors last year, was hired before graduation and has recently received approval for her H-1B. Their employer has committed to sponsoring their employment-based green card next year. My other sibling received their MFA last year and is now in the process of getting their O-1, which is a different kind of work visa. Like me, they both came to the US with a student visa. We were all very strategic about the programs we chose and how we approached networking within our industries.
We also prepared for years. I knew I wanted to get my Masters and permanently reside in the US even before I finished college in Manila. My siblings also knew that early on. So as a family we planned for years, including preparing financially because we knew that we had a very slim chance of getting free rides for our planned degrees. Our early planning also helped with our professional decision-making, because we became very strategic about what kinds of jobs we took after graduation in Manila (except our youngest sibling, who did her Bachelors in the US, so her planning revolved around her academic career in high school). I would say from start (initial planning) to finish (with the last sibling also now on the way to permanent residency), it took about a decade.

GETTING STARTED

Is the student pathway the right pathway for you?
The first question you should ask yourself: can you afford the student pathway to permanent residency in the US? Higher education in the US is not cheap. Universities very rarely offer full scholarships to Masters programs, and those that do are incredibly competitive. So you cannot depend on scholarships to help you pay for your degree--doing so will likely end in disappointment.
(PhDs are usually free and includes a living stipend, but the application process for PhDs are on a whole other level. I will not cover it here but I can answer any questions related to applying for PhDs.)
Most Masters programs in the US are two-year programs, and the average cost of a Masters degree is around $60,000 per year (source). That's $120,000--almost Php7,000,000--in two years. That is a lot of money. That does not include your cost of living, which depending on the location can vary. I personally spent around $1000 on living expenses every month (housing was through the school, so the cost of that was included in my tuition statement)--and that is living frugally in a very high cost of living city. That's an additional $12,000 per year. Of course, you can lower than number by living with family if that option is available to you.
So on average, you would need around Php4,200,000 per year for your Masters degree. Again, a lot of money. It goes without saying that the student pathway is a very expensive pathway to permanent residency in the US. Can it also be a quicker pathway than, say, being sponsored by a sibling? It can be, but that depends on how long it will take for you to save up for tuition.
What if you can make those numbers work? What else should you know?
I need to put this upfront: the F-1 student visa is a non-immigrant visa. Meaning that it is a visa meant for people who will enter the US on a temporary basis. This is why the student visa has no direct pathway or benefit to permanent residency in the US. You need to change status inside the US to one with immigrant intent or double intent to be able to be on that pathway or receive that benefit. That's where visas like the H-1B visa comes in.
You also cannot work outside of your school on an F-1 visa. During the school year, you are allowed to work part-time on campus, and during the summer you are allowed to work full-time on campus. Work outside of the school is only allowed if it's part of your curriculum (i.e. your program has a class for "onsite internship") and you are allowed to be paid while that opportunity is going on. You can do this part-time, but most legitimate universities will have limited opportunities for this (i.e. under your program you're only allowed to take credit for onsite internships one or two semesters). However, your eligibility to work full-time after getting your degree will be affected if you do this full-time for one year. If you want to jump from F-1 to H-1B, this is not something you want to do.
Your ability to bring dependents to the US on a student visa is also limited. You can only bring your spouse and unmarried children under 21. Dependents of F-1 visa holders are not allowed to work in the US (although children under 21 can go to school full-time). This means your spouse cannot work while in the United States, and that includes working remotely for a company in the Philippines.

APPLYING TO PROGRAMS

The student visa still seems like my best option. What's next?
The next step starts with you. I've received a good number of DMs asking me "Is Master of ABC the right course for me?" or "Will a Master of DEF get me a green card?" These are not the right questions to ask because they're not going to get you any good answers. Yes, we know the ultimate goal for taking your Masters in the US to get permanent residency. But the true purpose of getting a Masters in the US is to make you highly marketable and competitive to US employers that will be willing to sponsor your work visa and petition you for your permanent residency.
So you need to view this degree as a way to level yourself up professionally. I absolutely do not suggest getting a Masters degree in something "you already know"--the objective is not to coast while spending Php4,200,000 a year--but to be so much better at what you're already doing. Here's an example.
Maria Clara graduated from Accounting at a good university in Manila and now has around 2 years of experience as a CPA at the finance and accounting department at a multinational corporation based in Makati. She wants to get her permanent residency to the US via the student pathway and has done a significant amount of research on possible Masters programs and career paths in accounting in the US. She started reading into forensic accounting and realized how interested she is in various aspects of this career path. After looking through universities and programs, she has put SUNY Albany's MS in Forensic Science at the top of her list for a variety of reasons. One, it meets the education requirements for certified public accountant licensure in the state of New York. Two, even without a scholarship of financial aid, the costs for international students is not exorbitant at $23,000/Php1,320,000 for the year-long program--with some frugal living and help from relatives in the US, she can save that amount in 3-4 years. Three, New York is the center of global commerce--all the biggest companies and their accounting firms are either headquartered or have large offices in New York City, so she has a wide swath of employment options. Now she just has to get her ducks in a row and make sure her Bachelors meets the requirements for application, as well as put together a shortlist of other programs she should apply and create a timeline for herself and the milestones that need to be hit to make this dream a reality.
Bottomline is, your starting point in this entire process is reflection and research. You need to reflect on your own professional experience and skills, as well as your interests. You need to figure out which pathway will give you that professional and technical boost and do your research on available programs at reputable universities, what the job market looks like for your target profession, which companies are known to hire in this space.
Of course, you should also take into consideration your limitations. For example, you can only go to school in San Diego because you can stay with relatives while you're studying. That means your research is location-limited to however far you think you can commute.
When this is properly done, it should lead you to a place where you have a shortlist of programs to apply to. Each program will have their own application and testing requirements, as well as their own deadlines, so make sure to keep track of that.
PRO TIP: while grades during college are an important part of your application, many graduate programs put a lot of weight on your personal statement and professional recommendation letters. This is why the first step on reflection is critical--it gives you a good direction from which to build your story, which you will need to convince admissions committees to accept you into their programs.

ACCEPTANCE

I got into one of my top programs and I have my finances in order! What happens now?
Now it's time to apply for your F-1 visa. Your university will provide you with the documentation you need from them (this is mainly the I-20 and your acceptance letter), but the bulk of the documentation you need to present to the visa officer will mostly come from you. Namely, because the F-1 is a non-immigrant visa, you need to show strong ties to the Philippines. This can take a variety of forms, and oftentimes your mileage may vary especially depending on the school you will be attending (i.e. there will be less scrutiny if you're going to Harvard as compared to a university that's not that known).
If you did not receive a scholarship with your acceptance, you also need to show that you are able to afford the first year of matriculation. So bank statements containing the total amount of tuition, as well as room and board, will be important (usually the I-20 that the university will issue you will include this amount).
At the interview, be polite and only answer the questions asked. Do not offer up information not asked by the visa officer. I suggest you have a ready answer if the visa officer asks you why this particular school and program, but you should have this answer already if you followed my advice about reflecting and researching before applying to programs :)
Visa is approved and on hand! What do I do while I wait to leave for the US?
Networking starts the moment you receive your passport with your F-1 visa. You absolutely cannot and should not waste a single minute of your active student visa, so this is the time you start telling people that you're going to be studying in the US. You need to work your current network and find peers and mentors who will be willing to connect you with colleagues they know who work in the US or have ties to the US in your professional field. Let's go back to Maria Clara as an example.
Finally, after years of hard work, Maria Clara has her desired acceptance into SUNY's MS in Forensic Accounting program, and her F-1 visa was approved by the embassy without any issues. After celebrating with her family, she lets her boss know about her visa approval, who has been one of her most ardent cheerleaders during this entire process. Her boss has also offered to introduce her to their counterparts in the US once she got her visa approved, which is really important to Maria Clara--she knows she needs to get ahead of networking professionally since her time in the US is limited. She has also reached out to other people she knows in the company that engage frequently with teams in the US. She's messaged her college professors as well, as she knows that a number of alumni from her college have migrated to the US. Her plan is to get connected with as many professionals in her field as possible, connect with them in person once she's in the US, and build a rapport with as many connections as possible so she can be guided accordingly and stand out when the time to apply for jobs comes.
Remember that unlike US citizens (USC) and legal permanent residents (LPR), your time in the US is limited and bound by the rules set by your visa. So you have to be creative and get ahead in some way. You need to be more prepared and more strategic than USCs and LPRs because you simply do not have the time to dilly dally. Yes, enjoy and savor in the moment of seeing the fruits of your labor, but the hard part begins now. You simply do not have time to waste.

DURING THE PROGRAM

I'm in the US now and working harder than ever! Is there anything more I can do to set myself apart from others?
Other than to make sure you have high grades and you're setting aside time to build professional relationships, it's time to think outside the box. Remember that you are limited by the rules of the F-1 visa, so experiences such as an off-campus summer internship is off limits to you. You will need to find ways to strengthen your resumé that doesn't include working off campus, and that could take many forms. One of the most effective recommendations I've received on this is to do an independent research during the summer--you could do it via a professor whose class you really liked, or if you've made inroads with some of the connections you've been building since getting your visa, have a professor oversee a research project you could do with those connections. (This is still academic work, and many programs will give credit for this, so it is not considered off-campus work under the eyes of USCIS.) You can use your research to really elevate your skills and experiences when applying for jobs.
It's also time to seriously start looking at potential employers. You can use the connections you've built to get a sense of what the professional landscape is for your field, learn about peoples' experiences at various companies and organizations, and get a feel for hiring processes. Remember, you don't have a lot of time to apply for jobs once you near the end of your program, so you have to be armed with the right information to guide your job hunting strategy. You will need to put yourself out there and be the best version of your professional self if you want employers to disregard that they will need to spend more money to hire you rather than a USC or LPR who doesn't need sponsorship.

LAST SEMESTER AND GRADUATION

I'm in my last semester of my program! Any tips?
The last semester is usually job hunting season, so make sure that resumé is polished and your network is activated. By now, if you've done the leg work, you will have a shortlist of potential employers and you will have made connections in most, if not all, of them. Time to check-in and ensure that they know you're interested in joining their company and you'd like their support and guidance in doing so. This is one of the harder parts of this journey, and you have to be relentless. Use all the resources at your disposal to ensure your resumé is seen by as many eyes as possible, and that includes speaking to your professors, especially your favorite ones, so they can also lend a hand.
More importantly: submit your work permit application (more commonly known as OPT) as early as possible to avoid delays and getting stuck in the USCIS backlog. You need this permit to be able to work after graduation for a limited time (one year for graduates of non-STEM programs, with an additional two years for graduates of STEM programs) without needing to immediately require H-1B sponsorship.
Getting employed by a company willing to sponsor you is not the end of the line. All for-profit companies are subject to the H-1B lottery, which means you will be competing with other internationals for the limited number of H-1B visas allotted every year. So even with an employer willing to sponsor, the H-1B visa is still not guaranteed. You can work around this by joining what is a called a cap-exempt organization instead, and USCIS classifies those as institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities related to or affiliated with an institution of higher education, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations. That means more research, and more targeted strategic networking, given that your employer pool now is limited.

EPILOGUE

The student visa is not an easy or cheap pathway to permanent residency in the US. It is getting harder and harder to beat out USCs and LPRs for great jobs in companies that have the experience and resources to sponsor H-1Bs and GCs. You need to do your research every step of the way and prepare to do some really grueling work in order to be the better investment for these companies. Plus, there is the luck element of the H-1B lottery. But it's not impossible. It can and does happen--my family is a great example of it (we're 3 for 3 in this pathway now). Your preparation and willingness to go the extra mile is critical, and you have to be ready to grind for a while. Rest often only comes when the green card is approved.

2024.05.29 06:30 AdditionalTrash8593 Sr acts as a catalyst

This is the greatest joy of retention yet also the biggest struggle to overcome
Okay so anyone who has done self improvement knows how difficult it can be I separate into 2 categories
Internal vs external work
SR highlights both
Typically if your fapping and losing sexual energy you can do external work and scape by without doing any internal work simply because your not holding onto energy To hold onto your life force takes lots of discipline when it comes to regulating your internal state instead of draining it
So this is the catalyst you will know your issues what needs to be fixed internally and externally this can be great but life doesn’t always work in a fluid manner to where you can instantly make the necessary changes Yes SR speeds the process up but it can also create massive suffering simply because you may not be able to make that change as quickly as you’d like
For example if you experienced a lot of pain at once you naturally are going to want to cope in some way and that can be a feasible strategy to stifle your energy so you don’t have to do the internal/shadow work at this time For anyone who has every gone emotionally numb you understand what I’m describing here The trauma or pain can be so dramatic and life can be so bad that numbing yourself in minor ways to avoid that shadow work could be a potential strategy so you don’t have to face it all at once
Vs if you retain you will feel all that pain at once because your energy is so clean your holding onto your life force You will suffer greatly because your not numbing your experience I believe this is the better strategy but it is much harder journey
And in my opinion that is the bitch of retention but also its greatest blessing because if you don’t numb yourself you will feel the blunt force of life but it will pass through your spirit much quicker
But a potential strategy is to numb yourself a bit if the trauma and pain is very dramatic I’m not saying fap
But I notice on hard days I might fast for less hours in that day and eat more which makes me tired and makes my energy less clear which could help to numb out some of life’s pain because it’s really hard rn I’m probably at my lowest in awhile it’s because I’m making good changes but life is still very hard
I’m lean and typically do omad always sub 12% body fat I’ve been retaining for years now rn currently at day 57
I’m saying play your edge push your limit take as much pain as you can with a clean spirit but if life gets very hard don’t go over your edge just stifle your energy a bit and do the shadow work in a couple days or a week or 2
If after work you eat a bit more then you typically would to stifle the energy a bit that’s okay but only if you are at your edge Stifling energy a bit by distractions or eating a bit Less clean is better then relapsing
I’ve noticed if I’m forced to be around low vibrational people I might eat before I interact with them because if I’m in a pure fasted state they will feel that I feel all of their energy and that they cannot hide because my aura is way to pure
So some strategies for playing the edge dealing with toxic people and waiting because you cannot make all the changes you need to make because of other life factors
I’m not saying self sabotage or fap When I stifle my energy it’s by eating another meal then I typically would and the food is still relatively healthy Or watch a movie after work because your waiting for a certain situation to pass
I still workout fast do cold showers and mediate
That’s a problem I’ve noticed with retention is that your just so damn engaged you know all your problems and how to fix them but strategy and timing is important And if you just have absolutely pure energy everyday all the time you could get pissed off at other people or life situations which is good to have that drive but if taken to far could backfire on you as it has on me in the past so I’m not saying lower yourself be who you are and stand in your power just be aware that this is a valuable potential strategy
The ideal situations is you have pure energy all the time life starts to align because synchronicities will happen new levels have new devils you suffer you make the changes without stifling energy you stand up for yourself everytime and continue to level up
But I feel that is somewhat hard to embody in practice I’m one guy with one perspective so if you can go a year without issues more power to you but for me personally playing my edge is the thing to do and works the best for me long term because if I get arrogant and on my high horse I start to have issues becoming super judgemental of others because you see demons when you have a clean spirit and that can cause self righteousness which itself is a trap so lowkey backing off have a super super pure aura when interacting with toxic people who are in your way then when the time is right to make the change jump at the opportunity to move onto better things
Again I’ve been practicing this since 16 I turn 20 this weekend
And I know this post seems a big negative and I know it somewhat is but it’s just a warning / potential strategy because like I said if you go on 3+ months streaks out here consistently with a clean aura I promise you will get attacked and repel People just remember though that repelling is good because it’s taking you where you need to go to match your high vibration but that’s scary because it could mean complete restructuring your life like me basically losing all your family
If your just doing it for the female attraction or some surface level reason and keep your streaks under a month you should be fine but if you get into longer streaks your going to start to trigger people with your clean energy especially if your intention is to grow and become a better person legit your light will irritate their demons
I believe retention on longer streaks makes you more in tune with energies and life which helps build faith and gets rid of fear a more spiritual component on longer streaks and then synchronicities happen which only Proves this to a further extent which makes life feel more trippy good luck as well
though other people have already gone over this stuff so I won’t get into it I just thought this playing your edge strategy on retention would be valuable asset and idea as I’m yet to see anyone bring it up so far particularly with the arrogance self righteousness etc it’s easy to hate but gotta remember some ppl are sleep and everyone is on a personal journey try to respect others even the demons who are trying to pull you down like crabs in a bucket in the end we are all the good guys in our own story and we all know in our head our good intentions wether others realize it or not same with the demons bro they have a life story alright peace out yall play your edge stay engaged take as much suffering for growth as you can stomach and don’t demonize the demons because that will just make them angry and make things worse eye for an eye makes the whole world blind have boundaries love from a distance

The use of the push button QD swivel allowed for a smooth and secure attachment to my weapon, without causing any damage to the sling mount. It was like having a reliable and efficient partner by my side during my outdoor adventures.
However, I did notice that the Allen Citadel Tactical QD Picatinny to QD Black 10846 was a bit bulky, which made it slightly more challenging to store when not in use. While this was not a major issue, it would have been great if the designers had found a way to make it more compact.
Overall, this Allen sling mount proved to be a reliable and functional companion during my adventures.

Imagine you're in the heat of the moment, aiming down the sights of your rifle, trying to take out a target from around the corner. This is where the NcSTAR Mount shines. Its 45-degree offset angle allows you to mount your lasers, flashlights, or red dot sights at just the right angle for a clear view down the barrel.

It eliminates interference with vertical grips, hand guards, optics, and other accessories, making it perfect for a wide range of uses. Plus, the ergonomic design gives easy access to on/off switches for your accessories, which is a game-changer when you're in the thick of it.
But let's not forget the solid construction. The NcSTAR Mount is made from hard-anodized aluminum, which not only adds strength to the mount but also makes it resistant to corrosion. And the single-slotted thumb nut secures the mount to Weaver Style or Picatinny rails quickly and easily.

I had the chance to try out the Granite Tool Design Scope Computer Mount, specifically made for Specialized SWAT Black bikes. When I first received it, I was intrigued by how lightweight this mount was, weighing just 15g. It certainly didn't slow me down during my rides.
One of the unique features of this mount is that it's easy to install at home without needing any specialist tools. Plus, it didn't interfere with the SWAT system, which is a definite plus! However, one downside I noticed was the compatibility - it's only made for Specialized bikes with the SWAT concealed transport tool kit.
Overall, the Granite Tool Design Scope Computer Mount is a good choice for those looking for a lightweight, easy-to-install mount for their computer on their Specialized bike. If you don't fit the compatibility criteria, it might not be worth it for you.

As a stargazing enthusiast, I recently tried the Explore Scientific Finder Scope Base and was astounded by how convenient and reliable it was. It's the perfect addition to any telescope, providing a stable base for mounting the finder scope of your choice.
The highlight of this product, for me, was the ease of installation. It literally took me a few minutes to set it up, thanks to the provided mounting screws. The knurled knobs on the base really make locking the finder into place a breeze.
However, it's not all smooth sailing. One inconvenience was the lack of lock washers in the box which, although not a deal-breaker, would have been a nice addition for added security.
Overall, the Explore Scientific Finder Scope Base was a pleasant surprise in terms of functionality and ease. Despite a minor hiccup, it's a winner in my book for those who enjoy stargazing and want their equipment to be secure and robust.

AUS Mount from Reptilia, for 30mm diameter magnified optics, is a beautifully crafted piece of machinery. This product is the result of a 2-year development program and it truly shows in its design and functionality. The finish, an Anodized Flat Dark Earth, gives it a sleek look that blends well with various M1913 Picatinny rails it can be attached to.
This AUS Mount stands out due to the custom bolt mounting system with an anti-snag, spring-loaded, nitrided steel clamp. The clamp can be tightened using either a 5/32 hex or a flat blade driver for a low-profile, streamline design. The single piece of billet 7075-T6 aluminum, which it is made from, is further enhanced with the MIL-STD Type III Class 2 hard anodize coating.
The AUS Mount is compatible with all of Reptilia's existing 30mm ROF line and will also work with several new ROF products launching soon. Despite its robust build and advanced tech, it is surprisingly lightweight and compatible with different optic configurations.

I recently had the chance to try out the Wheeler Scope Mounting Kit Combo, and I must say, it provided a smooth experience while mounting my scope. The highlight feature that stood out for me was the "F. A. T. Wrench Torque Screwdriver" – it allowed me to tighten screws with a precision that I haven't experienced before. The wrench-bit set was easy to use, and the 10 bits provided made it a versatile tool for any mounting setup.
However, there were a couple of drawbacks that I encountered during my experience. The level-level-level didn't quite live up to my expectations. Although it was functional, it could have been more precise, making it easier to achieve a level scope. Additionally, the plastic case for the set was a bit flimsy, which wasn't ideal for storage and transport.
Overall, the Wheeler Scope Mounting Kit Combo proved to be a helpful tool for securing and aligning my scope. While there were a few issues, such as the subpar level and case quality, the positive aspects like the F. A. T. Wrench Torque Screwdriver made it a worthwhile investment.

One thing that stood out was the curved groove design, which effectively stabilized my mobile phone while preventing it from getting stuck. The shielding design connected to the tripod helped avoid light leakage, which is a crucial factor in photography.
The wide range of application made it suitable not only for spotting scopes and binoculars but also for field observation and appreciation.

FAQ

How do I choose the right 30mm Qd Scope Mount for my needs?

The first step is to consider the type of shooting or hunting you will be doing with your rifle scope. Various 30mm Qd Scope Mounts are designed for different purposes. Mounts designed for tactical shooting usually have sturdy, rugged construction, while those made for long-range shooting often feature adjustable height and tilt. If you plan on using the scope for both purposes, look for a versatile mount with a lot of adjustment options.

What is the main difference between 30mm Qd Scope Mounts and 1-inch scope mounts?

The main difference is the diameter of the scope ring. The 30mm diameter suits larger rifle scopes with larger objectives, which can provide a wider field of view and better light gathering capabilities. On the other hand, a 1-inch scope mount is more suitable for smaller rifle scopes, which are typically preferred for shorter-ranged target shooting or hunting.

What is the difference between "Quick Detach" and "Permanent" 30mm Qd Scope Mounts?

Quick Detach (QD) mounts allow the scope to be easily removed from the rifle, which can be convenient for switching scopes or during transportation. These mounts use a lever or knob to release the scope from the rifle. In contrast, Permanent mounts are designed to be fixed in place and are not meant to be removed without disassembling the scope mount.

What are some features to look for in a high-quality 30mm Qd Scope Mount?

  • Rugged construction: A good scope mount should be able to withstand recoil and outdoor conditions without getting damaged or breaking.
  • Adjustable height and tilt: If you plan on using the scope for long-range shooting, it helps to have adjustable height and tilt features to make sighting in easier and more accurate.
  • Easy-to-use locking mechanisms: The mount should have a secure locking mechanism that allows quick detachment without the need for extra tools.
  • High-quality materials: Look for mounts made from materials such as aircraft-grade aluminum or steel, which can provide strength and durability.

Are there any downsides to using a 30mm Qd Scope Mount?

While there are many benefits to using a 30mm Qd Scope Mount, they can be heavier and bulkier compared to 1-inch scope mounts. This can be an issue for shooters who value portability or need to travel light, as extra weight can affect the overall balance and handling of the rifle. Additionally, high-quality 30mm Qd Scope Mounts can be more expensive than 1-inch scope mounts.

2024.05.29 06:29 Beeomni Are they normally harsh?

Has anyone else experienced being invalidated by a professional? I’m starting to lose hope, why do doctors I’ve seen straight up tell me I’m lying about my past trauma and behaviours? I’ve had my partner validate my episodes and even tell them a lot more than I can.
In my discharge summary my psychiatrist claimed that what I was telling him was rehearsed. My partner is outraged and my mother told me it was something that happens a lot, even telling me a few experiences where Dr’s told her similar things. I’m glad they’re willing to come to my appointments with me to validate experiences, but why does it have to go that far?
My third doctor was very skeptical about me expressing my delusions, even going as far as mocking me. Hell even my counsellor gives me unsolicited opinions about my diagnosis, telling me she’s not certified to diagnose me but then talks about how my behaviour is just trauma and not an underlying condition.
It’s hard talking about such sensitive memories, being shot down by professionals hurts. Maybe I’m looking way too into it, but it only makes me want to get help less.

[Servant OC] Cuauhtémoc
This is my first post in reddit. I hope you guys like my first servant oc ( of course the my first servant oc will be saber-face). If you do also, like, and share this post with other media for my support, I can continue to post more like this post. Thank you.
Cuauhtémoc
Japanese Name: クアウテモック)
Class: Saber
AKA: Cuauhtemotzín, Guatémuz, Last Aztec Emperor, Ruler of Tlatelolco, cuauhtlatoani, Hero of Unyielding Jade, Guatémuz the Valor, Cuauhtémoc the water sun
PROFILE
Default: Cuauhtémoc, who fought the Spanish to the best of her ability, is considered a hero who defended her homeland from these conquerors, a symbol of valor. As she continued to protect her homeland, time came slowly like a fading sun; she wanted to save her people and homeland, but the Spanish executed her at the end of her life.
In historical records, Cuauhtémoc is a male, but she disguises herself as a male.
Bond 1:
Height/Weight: 154cm, 42kg Origin: Historical Fact Region: Aztec civilization, Mexico Alignment: Lawful-Good Gender: Female After pretending to be a man, she doesn't know how to react to affection.
Bond 2: An Aztec Emperor who wants to bring peace and see her people's smiling faces when she becomes the emperor after the latest Aztec emperor in Tenochtitlan. It is known more as Mexico-Tenochtitlan during her time. She is a lovely and calm person who sincerely wants to change Mexico-Tenochtitlan for her people before Hernán Cortés, the conquistador who would later destroy the Aztec empire. She has an elegant, beautiful lady aura, and even when she talks to others, she is cheerful and exciting even though she has knowledge of the modern from the throne of heroes.
Bond 3: After the death of the latest Emperor, Cuauhtémoc decided to protect her people and land. She opposed Montezuma's plan to allow them into Tenochtitlan and fought fiercely against them when she replaced Montezuma. Her unfailing distrust and hatred of the Spanish helped her rise to the position of Tlatoani upon the death of Cuitlahuac. There were no records of her fighting the war, but her extraordinary leadership and selfless defense of her homeland were. In her childhood, she witnessed the bloody battles of Aztec warfare since the Aztecs waged war to reap tribute and take captives for religious sacrifices. They were also given to Aztec society so victorious Aztec warriors could receive high honors. She wants to bring peace without violence and create a homeland of smiles.
Since Cuauhtemoc was not recorded in history until her reign as emperor, her date of birth is unknown. As the oldest legitimate daughter of Emperor Ahuitzotl, she probably attended the last New Fire ceremony to mark the start of a new 52-year cycle. In 1515, she was named ruler of Tlatelolco, with the title cuauhtlatoani, meaning "eagle ruler," after concealing herself as a male to enter the boy school and military service. She works hard to reach her position of rulership since Cuauhtemoc pretends to be a male of high birth and a warrior who has captured enemies for sacrifice because she prefers death to be their hands. She even earns a name known as Guatemuz from the Spanish conquistadors.
Bond 4:
Mana Burst (Water): EX She was blessed by the goddess of water and given the divine water that rivaled the fifth Sun of his power—the discharge of magical energy in liquid form. Having her Noble Phantasm concealed, her magic energy nature is established as water by the divine aura that emanates from it. Divine water increases its rank.
The embodiment of Mexico-Tenochtitlan: EX She is an emperor who wants to protect her homeland and wants to change Mexico-Tenochtitlan to bring peace. Her leadership path and unyielding will refuse to surrender and wish to save Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
Blessing of the Fifth Sun: B Even though tortured and captured, she refused to surrender, and some sources said, "Our Sun has gone from our vision and will remain in Mictian, the place where the spirits repose." She believes that Huitzilopochtli will guide Mexico-Tenochtitlan and the people who will survive, and one day, someone will bring her homeland peace to the people's future.
Bond 5:
『Inner World Chālchihuitl Blade』 Rank: A++ NP Type: Anti-Fortress Sword of Jade A weapon not forged by man nor divine was forged within the Inner Sea of the Planet. A Noble Phantasm that can rival Holy Sword Excalibur. A sword that is forged by the world from the world's stores of many unknown weaponry that have yet to be discovered from the current time.
『The Fifth Sun Storm 』 Rank: A+ Type: Anti-Unit / Anti-Army Noble Phantasm Range: 0-10 Maximum Targets: 1-20 people This Noble Phantasm unleashes five slashes at once. This ability's fearsome power combines the five Suns of the Aztec gods into one Sun to become a rainstorm of blood that can rival Huitzilopochtli, who was honored above all in Tenochtitlan as the patron god of the Aztecs. While it is an Anti-Unit technique, it is so powerful that the surrounding area gets caught in the blast. (Naturally, its strength lessens when used as an Anti-Army technique.)
“Soy la uno como el sol, blessed by the given divine of the inner sea jade…May this sun become water, may the water become the blood of my people's death, SANGRE DEL QUINTO SOL CHALCHIUHTLICUE!
Identity: Known to the Spanish conquistadors as Guatemuz, he was the last Mexica tlahtoani of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. He assumed power in 1520, one year before Hernán Cortés and his troops captured Tenochtitlan. Cuauhtémoc, son of Ahuízotl and cousin of Moctezuma Xocoyotzin and Tecuichpo, when she reached nubility. He took power in Tenochtitlan after the conquistadors had already left, but famine, smallpox, and a lack of potable water had devastated the city. Cuauhtémoc arrived at this moment after having been tlakatekohtli (chief of arms) of the resistance to the conquistadors since the death of Moctezuma before the call by the Spanish "Sad Night," he has been identified as a military leader of the Mexicas.
Driven by his foresight and belief in the Mexicas' resilience, Cuauhtémoc orchestrated the reorganization of the Mexica army, the reconstruction of the city, and its fortification in preparation for the inevitable conflict with the Spaniards. He tactfully dispatched ambassadors to neighboring towns, seeking alliances and reducing their contributions, displaying his astute leadership.
After eighty days of warfare against the Spanish, Cuauhtémoc called for reinforcements from the countryside to help defend Tenochtitlán. The surviving Tenochcas sought refuge in Tlatelolco, where even women participated in the battle. Only Tlatelolcas remained loyal, and even women took part in the battle. As he and his family fled Tenochtitlán by crossing Lake Texcoco, Cuauhtémoc was captured on August 13, 1521.
Tragically, when confronted by the conqueror, Cuauhtémoc, pointing to the dagger on his belt, requested to be slain with it. Unable to defend his city and vassals, he chose to meet his end at the hands of the invader. This act, viewed as a sacrifice to the gods, was a poignant testament to the depth of his loyalty and the anguish of his defeat. According to duplicate Spanish accounts, Cortés declined the offer and treated his adversary with magnanimity. The brave warrior defended the capital, he claimed. Even an enemy in a Spaniard's eyes is worthy of respect. The end of his life can't help but feel a deep sympathy and sorrow for Cuauhtémoc's tragic fate.
Cuauhtémoc's death was not of interest to Cortés at that time. As a subsidiary of Emperor Carlos V and Cortés, he preferred to use his dignity before the Mexicas as Tlatoani. As part of the city's cleaning and restoration work, which occurred in the months following the conquest, Cuauh émoc took advantage of his initiative and power to secure the Mexica's cooperation. However, due to what the Spanish perceived as 'greedy Spanish stewardship and distrust of the Spaniards,' the last Mexica tlatoani was tortured and killed by Cortés.

Still, it is a great honor to meet you. I mess up again!"
