2024.05.15 06:30 CtYankinKAsCourt Need input on backyard steps
Ok, so my wife has tasked me with creating a set of steps or something for our backyard to get up out hill easier. Now this hill is long, the run is about 106.5 feet with a rise of about 17.5 feet, this gives me a slope of about 16.43%. Now I just wanted to do some pavers, but I have read that they will wash out above a 5% slope. So, I came up with a set of steps based on my days doing trail work. Now, when I used to build steps like these they were made from wood, however, my wife doesn’t want them made from wood. reconfigured my idea to be made from stone. Attached are the pictures of what I came up with. It is pretty much a buried 18x36x2 paver that makes up each rise of 7 inches spaced about 3’ 9” apart. Between each set of risers, I am going to put some pavers. The layers I plan on using are as follows from top to bottom:
To help keep the cut in steps, I am also planning on putting in some sidewalls made from 18x48x2 inch pieces. These will be imbedded about 10” on the high end to about 2.25” on the low end or more depending on the part of the slope with the remainder above the ground. These will be placed on the outside of each riser step to prevent from collapsing in.
Now, before I start digging and trying to get quotes of the stone, I wanted some feedback.
Namely, this idea will use about 30 3’ long and 54 4’ long pieces. That’s a lot of stone. So I am wondering, is this a good idea, will these steps work, or is these an easier way to do this?

- 2 Inch thick pavers wide spaced
- 2 inches of 3/8 gravel
- 4 inches of ¾ gravel
- 12 inches of grade 1 gravel (2-4 inches)

And this post made me realize something. Their What is Love performance was sort of the amalgamation of their constant hardwork (in a sense). This performance showed the following:
- Gehlee's dancing improved significantly. She's always been more of a smooth dancer, shining especially on more slower tracks like Beautiful back in UT. But on more faster tracks she seems to always struggle or at the very least have a hard time, her moves often times looks stiff, which is not a good compliment to her usual smooth dancing. So often times, she ends up looking sloppy, but in this performance we can clearly see that she improved her dancing ability to faster tracks. And maybe this is just out of pure love from TWICE, but her expression the entire performance is just a massive improvement from her usual somewhat awkward smile, she looks genuinely elated throughout the performance and her expression showed it. It gave of this starry-eyed, curious teen impression, which is necessary in performing a TWICE song like What is Love.
- Kotoko's promising vocals. One of the main criticism about Kotoko back in UT days was that she's very weak vocally, and I used to agree to that (looking at it constructively, of course). But her “I'm gOoOoOoOoOd” part in SUPEREWOMAN, showed massive promise. No offense, but I think that the J-Line along with Gehlee are the most handful members to be distributed a line to, not because they're bad vocalist, but rather because of they're unique vocal quality. In the sense that if you put them in specific parts of a song, it sounds extremely good and invokes the necessary feeling, but at the same time, putting them in other specific parts could feel out of place. The way I could describe those three is that: Nana's voice is breathy, perfect for conveying emotion and should be preferably used in more lower register, best example is Dream of Girls. Gehlee's voice is low registered, best utilized for highlighting low register killing parts and being second or last chorus like in Dopamine to switch things up and make their songs sonically dynamic. And lastly, Kotoko's voice is more on the high pitch side, should preferably be used in stylish parts like a falsetto with preferably Elisia adlibbing (more on this later) and also probably the rap parts too, because her rapping tone is a good contrast to Yoona's rapping. Sorry for the long unrelated yapping, but overall, I think that they're doing a good job improving Kotoko's unique voice and it shows in this performance.
- And lastly Elisia's ad-libbing. My personal favourite UT performance is Beautiful, because of the absolute god-sent of a performance that was, vocally. And a huge reason to that, is because of Elisa's ad-libs, her ad-libs adds that necessary emotional and vocal depth. And even way back in her Red Flavor performance, she was already trying to adlib although she was discouraged to do so. The biggest reason on why I think Elisia is arguably one of the best vocalist in 5th gen is because of her ability to impact and add to a song, regardless of whether is sing or being a back up vocal. And although it is subtle, I think this performance is a great practice for her to expand her vocal abilities by essentially playing backseat and still adding something to the song (although I do hope that they start giving her more lines in their CB).
2024.05.15 06:30 Ya_Boi_Blue_ Need feedback on possible first build.
parts list https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Pq4LTY
Hey everyone, I'm building a new PC that will mostly be used for gaming, watching TV and YouTube, and some minor graphic design and animation. I've spent the last few months going part by part and combination by combination to choose my parts to build the best PC for my needs within my budget, 2300 CAD, and came up with this list with my reasoning for choosing these parts. ANY thoughts or recommendations on the overall build, price point, parts or my writing skills are welcome and appreciated, Thank you!
CPU-Ryzen 7800x3d- I picked this CPU because it seems to be the best for gaming and some productivity, came highly rated and i kept reading that it was the best gaming CPU. I also read that even though the 7900x3d should be better mix for gaming and productivity it somehow is worse at both.
CPU cooler-Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler- I picked this cooler because it was recommended as the best bang for your buck CPU cooler while still delivering on performance, which let me spend more money on other parts of the build.
Motherboard-Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard- The motherboard was honestly the part that took me the longest to decide on since there were just WAY too many options and WAY too many seemingly being prone to being lemons of having had issues that have since been fixed. Why i finally decided on this one though is that the issues it had, frying 7000 series CPUs, had reportedly been fixed so long as I flash the bios before installing my CPU, as well as that it meets all my needs in attempting to future proof my motherboard without dropping 400 or more CAD on it.
Memory-G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory- Once I finally understood how Ram worked and how EXPO worked I basically went with what was cheapest in those parameters, not much else to say about it.
Storage-Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive- Much like memory I don't have much to say about my choice of storage, Western digital seems like a good brand, I have a different one of their SSDs in my current PC, has about the same performance as similar performing SSDs while being cheaper in price.
GPU-4070 Super FE- I decided on the 4070 Super Fe for a few reasons, I heard Nvidia is better if I want to graphic design or animation as well as gaming, the 4070 super seems to be in the sweet spot for performance/price and I've read that the Fe retains it's value the best for when I want to upgrade.
Case-NZXT H6 Flow- I chose the H6 Flow because I liked the design, and I read that it was both easy to build in as well as being great for air cooling.
PSU-Corsair RM750- I'm stuck with this one because I already bought it when it was on a good sale, My reasoning for buying it though is that most importantly the wattage should be enough, and also because the RM series of Corsair power supplies seems to rank pretty high on most peoples tier lists of PSUs. Added bonus of being fully modular.

2024.05.15 06:29 Longjumping-Run3493 Help me with my MOH speech!
Please let me know how this sounds 💚 I am terrible with words and terrified of public speaking sooooo I need it to sound good while I try not to pass out as I give this speech 💀
-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!
submitted by Longjumping-Run3493 to weddingplanning [link] [comments]
-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!
- I know a good portion of you here with us tonight but for those I don’t know, hi my name is MOH.
- I met Groom and Bride in high school through mutual friends. While I hung out with bride occasionally and bumped into groom in group settings, it wasn't until a few years later that bride and I would become close.
- bride, It's difficult to put into words just how grateful I am for you, but ill give it my best shot. Thank you for loving me for who I am, even though I'm a bit bullheaded and stubborn. You’re the person I call when I have exciting news to share or need to vent after a tough day. I know my deepest secrets are safe with you and you’ll give me the advice I need, even when it's tough to hear. Thank you for loving my children as your own, even if they are little wild. I can never thank you enough for always being around to support me during those dark days after I had child’s name.. I don’t know how I would of made it these last 9 years with out you. While life has taken us down different paths, we have always made the best effort to keep our friendship as close as possible. Naps on the couch with the dogs and all day hangouts have turned into trips to the zoo and hour long phone calls on your drive home and even longer when you commuted for school. Just know we can never stop our wild days on the boat and ice cream runs to ___, those keep us both somewhat sane. Bride you are kind and loving, genuine to the core and never afraid to speak your mind. You are truly amazing inside and out and i’m so glad I to call you my best friend.
- Groom, I was unsure if we would become friends in the beginning of you and bride’s relationship. You would walk in the door without saying a word, heading straight for the computer room. Now when you walk in, you almost always have some smack to talk, so id say we’ve come a long way. You’re not the type to write some mushy Facebook post professing your love for bride, and If you did, I'd probably think you've hit your head... But words aren’t necessary to see how much you adore her. The way your face lights up when you look at her says it all. Your love for her is unconditional. Thank you for loving bride exactly as she is, for always standing by her as her biggest supporter, and for filling her days with laughter and joy. Even if that means occasionally pushing her buttons just to get a rise out of her. I could not imagine a more perfect person to be her husband.
- Mr. And Mrs. XXXX! I have been dying to say that all day. Thank you for allowing the kids and I to be a part of your special day. May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day, and may your journey together be filled with laughter, joy, and endless blessings. Here's to a lifetime of happiness and cherished memories. Congratulations, Groom and Bride, I love you both. Cheers!!
2024.05.15 06:29 miles0628 I weirded her and I'm worried I ruined the friendship(sorry for such a long post)
TLDR, I told her I looked her up on Instagram because I wanted to be her friend and she thought her account was recommended instead and it weirded her out because I kinda stalked her. I went on a school trip in December with people I knew but not very well and once i started talking to them, they were all really awesome and funny but one person in particular I thought was really cool and funny and she was actually someone who was in one of my classes who I never talked to before because she was on the other side of the room and I only talked to my one friend in the class so I didn't pay much attention to anyone else but anyway later on in the trip I asked my roommate for the day what her name was( because I was embarrassed to ask her directly) and a few hours later, she and the rest of the group went to my room and hung out for a few hours and it was great, I tried to talk to her as much as I could, which wasn't that much but it was nice talking to her and when we got back from the trip all I could think about is how happy i was on that trip and how nice it was talking to that girl. When I got to the class 2 days later, I really wanted to start a conversation but I just couldn't get the courage during the entire week so towards the end of the week I looked her name on Instagram and found her account but I didn't know if It would be a good idea to start a conversation on there so I waited a bit to see If I would get the courage to talk to her in person, I didn't so I decided to try to talk to her on Instagram and it went very well and we talked pretty often on there and when the classes changed we had a new class together and she joined my group in the class so we have been talking in person for the last 5 months, about 3 weeks ago instead of our group of 4 it was just me and her and while we cooking, we having a conversation and she asked something why I started talking to her and I mentioned that I looked her up on Instagram and she was surprised because she thought her account got recommend to me and then I started talking to her because I recognized her, she unfriended me on psn the next day( a day after she friended me on there) and I was confused, she also hadn't responded in a month to my messages and she had been acting kinda quieter so a few days ago I asked her If she was going through problems or something recently and she told me I kinda stalked her and it weirded her out, I apologized, telling her I wasn't trying to stalk her and I was just trying to be her friend, she responded with it still weirded me out, I said I know and I am truly sorry, she didn't respond or look at it to that for 2 days which isn't a long time for her but it felt like it was on purpose, yesterday I asked her if we can still be friends and I said I am genuinely sorry about making her feel weird and uncomfortable but I also said that I feel like we were good friends and I didn't want 1 stupid thing I did ruin our friendship. Is there anything I can do at this point? Because she really is a good friend of mine and I don't want to lose her, if you could help, that would be great, hopefully she doesn't see this

2024.05.15 06:28 IllustratorOk7613 Weekly SQL Interview Question - Marketing Attribution
Hi all - new weekly SQL question is up and ready.
First-touch marketing attribution is a model for assigning credit to the marketing channel that initiated a user's first interaction with a brand/product. In this model, only the first touchpoint a user interacts with will receive credit for any subsequent conversions.
For example, if a user clicks on a Facebook ad, then later clicks on a Google search ad and makes a purchase of a product, the Facebook ad would be credited with the conversion because it was the first marketing touchpoint the user interacted with.
You have a table named user_event that contains data on user interactions with a marketing campaign (e.g., impressions, clicks), and a table with user purchases called user_purchase.
Write a SQL query that calculates the conversion rate of each channel based on the first-touch attribution model. The output should have channel & conversion_rate (rounded to 3 decimal points) in the descending order of the conversion_rate.
Conversion Rate = # of users who made a purchase using first-touch attribution / # of users who interacted with the channel

2024.05.15 06:28 mkmkrmr0 I was not invited.
I don’t know if my feelings are valid pero kasi naguguluhan ako sa mixed emotions na gumugulo sa utak ko ngayon. I want to get this off mu chest kasi feeling ko sasabog ako.
Me and my boyfriend have been for almost a year na. Just recently umamin siya sa akin na yung pakilala niyang name when we first started talking was not who he really was. Actually may mga hinala na ako kaya his revelations wasn’t that shocking for me naman. He explained his reasons and naiintindihan ko siya, so I forgave him. He become more open of who he really was talaga like kung sino at ano ang family niya. After his revelations, he said na gustong gusto niya akong ipa meet sa family niya pero hindi niya magawa kasi nga may tinatago siya sa akin and that since he came clean to me, he was relieved na finally he can do that na. Sinabi niya na nga daw sa mom niya na may plus one na siya for their family event because he’s bringing me.
Ever since we started talking nakekwento niya na yung renewal of vows ng parents niya. He’s a very family oriented man and I admire him for that. Preparations for the event took months and halos lahat na kwento niya sa akin. Since he’s the eldest , hands on talaga siya sa pag assist ng mga needs for the wedding. He asks my opinion on things lalo na sa susuorin niya. He was very excited for his parents big day, also his entire family and friends will be there.
So eto na nga. Here comes the big day. I wasn’t given a formal invite. Weeks before the wedding I was kinda waiting na bigyan niya ako invitation kasi halos araw araw niya ngang nababanggit yung event. I was planning to buy a dress pa naman for the event. Kaso nung days nalang ang pagitan I decided not to nalang kasi walang invitation na binigay. Hindi niya na din nabanggit kung isasama niya ba ako or hindi. Nakikinig nalang ako sa kga kwento niya about the preparations.
I am hurt. Nakwento niya how his closest friends will be there and kung pano niya ginawan ng way na ma excuse sila sa work nila without them being absent. His volleyball playmates will be there too. His brother’s girlfriend is invited. His girl best friend too (nasa VIP kasi mag bff moms nila). Yung kapatid ng ex niya na best friend ng sister niya is there din. Tapos ako??? He’s been updating me about the happenings sa event kaso fuck ayokong malaman kasi I don’t want to care. Siniseen ko lang messages niya. Gusto ko siyang sabihan kaso hindi ko magawa
Actually I don’t want to be too sensitive about it kaso I can’t help. Tangina bigla pa akong naiyak while typing this. Yun lang. I am very open for your reactions baka nagpapaka OA lang ako.
Thank you. Actually today is the D-day 05/15/2024…

2024.05.15 06:28 LetterheadOk9669 AITAH For blowing up on my friend for saying I look like her?
Context I Avery 19 year old female and Lucy (Not her real name) 18 year old female have been friends for a year. I am a grade above her and we are in the same fine art activity. We are both on the colorguard team at my school.
Our team isn’t necessarily good, but we aren’t bad. (To the people who know Scholastic AA). For some reason Lucy is obsessed with the idea she looks like me. All because of a comment someone made to her. They walked up to her thinking it was me from a far. She has made it her life mission to make herself me.
She was a primary flag on my team and I am a primary rifle. Since I am a senior in school I’m not getting ready for next season. However, my director is making all members who have done at least one season try rifle. Lucy was excited to try rifle saying she can be like me. I thought this was sweet cause she looked up to me, but I was very wrong.
Lucy happened to be really good at rifle. Nothing against her she’s a great person to have on the team, but her ego has gone way up. She’s been making fun of people who drop their rifle or use the wrong technique and she always comes in for reassurance saying things like “Right Avery she needs to slow down her toss or right Avery she needs to put her left hand completely to the side.” It puts me in a position that makes me uncomfortable and i’ve told her to stop.
Lately she’s been dressing like me. She always used to wear a Tee shirt, shorts, and her hair down to rehearsal, but lately she’s been wearing Sports bras, leggings, and pulls her hair into a braid. Just like me. She used to march around saying she hates the color pink (She’s a major tom boy), but now she wears it saying it suits her. She even bought my perfume. I thought it was weird, but I didn’t say anything cause I’ll be gone within a week anyways because of Graduation.
She was starting to really piss me off when she would make comments like “Avery look we both have a pimple on our cheek.” I’m extremely insecure about acne. She knows this. She would say things like “our cycles are synced it’s like our bodies are the same person.” “We’re both on our 15th set of invisalign. Our teeth are getting straighter together.”
Yesterday I was getting ready for a banquet with Lucy and some other girls from the team. It’s all fun and games till Lucy pulls out almost the exact same dress as me. There is no way she wasn’t trying to copy. I was going for a Audrey Hepburn look with a black dress, gloves, pearls, and Prada sunglasses. Lucy pulls out a shorter black dress, gloves, pearls, black sunglasses. She then exclaimed “Omg twin we’re gonna look so good. It’s almost like great minds think alike or something. People won’t even be able to tell us apart.”
I was livid to say the least. She knew I had been planing on that outfit since last banquet. I let it go it was my senior banquet it was fine. I take photos with everyone and she’s doing her thing when she puts her arm around my boyfriend’s shoulder. I immediately stand up from our banquet table and grab her arm swinging it off him. She said “Sorry I thought it would be a cute picture cause he’s dressed to match us.” I cut her off and said “No Lucy he’s dressed to match me. I’m not sure what you think your doing wanting to become me and comparing yourself to me, but it needs to stop.” She then rolls her eyes and slumps in her chair. She mumbled under her breath “I don’t look like you. You look like me. Get it right. You’re so obsessed.”
I started to yell at her “You don’t look like me. Not even a little bit. Your eyes are blue and mine are green. Your hair is brown while mine is blonde. Your nose slopes down and mine slopes up at the end. Your chin is slightly pointed and my sticks out. My eyes are almond while yours are hooded. I’m 5’11 and you’re 5’3. Your boobs are bigger than mine. My feet are bigger than yours. We do not look alike.”
At this point everyone is looking at us. Most people know what i’m getting at cause they asked me days ago why she was copying me. Lucy starts to cry called me some names and ran off. I cut the night short and went home. I told my mom in the morning and she told me I should’ve let Lucy live out her fantasy for a week till I graduate. A couple of friends of Lucy have texted me and called me an Asshole. But I don’t think I am.
Am I the Asshole?

Our team isn’t necessarily good, but we aren’t bad. (To the people who know Scholastic AA). For some reason Lucy is obsessed with the idea she looks like me. All because of a comment someone made to her. They walked up to her thinking it was me from a far. She has made it her life mission to make herself me.
She was a primary flag on my team and I am a primary rifle. Since I am a senior in school I’m not getting ready for next season. However, my director is making all members who have done at least one season try rifle. Lucy was excited to try rifle saying she can be like me. I thought this was sweet cause she looked up to me, but I was very wrong.
Lucy happened to be really good at rifle. Nothing against her she’s a great person to have on the team, but her ego has gone way up. She’s been making fun of people who drop their rifle or use the wrong technique and she always comes in for reassurance saying things like “Right Avery she needs to slow down her toss or right Avery she needs to put her left hand completely to the side.” It puts me in a position that makes me uncomfortable and i’ve told her to stop.
Lately she’s been dressing like me. She always used to wear a Tee shirt, shorts, and her hair down to rehearsal, but lately she’s been wearing Sports bras, leggings, and pulls her hair into a braid. Just like me. She used to march around saying she hates the color pink (She’s a major tom boy), but now she wears it saying it suits her. She even bought my perfume. I thought it was weird, but I didn’t say anything cause I’ll be gone within a week anyways because of Graduation.
She was starting to really piss me off when she would make comments like “Avery look we both have a pimple on our cheek.” I’m extremely insecure about acne. She knows this. She would say things like “our cycles are synced it’s like our bodies are the same person.” “We’re both on our 15th set of invisalign. Our teeth are getting straighter together.”
Yesterday I was getting ready for a banquet with Lucy and some other girls from the team. It’s all fun and games till Lucy pulls out almost the exact same dress as me. There is no way she wasn’t trying to copy. I was going for a Audrey Hepburn look with a black dress, gloves, pearls, and Prada sunglasses. Lucy pulls out a shorter black dress, gloves, pearls, black sunglasses. She then exclaimed “Omg twin we’re gonna look so good. It’s almost like great minds think alike or something. People won’t even be able to tell us apart.”
I was livid to say the least. She knew I had been planing on that outfit since last banquet. I let it go it was my senior banquet it was fine. I take photos with everyone and she’s doing her thing when she puts her arm around my boyfriend’s shoulder. I immediately stand up from our banquet table and grab her arm swinging it off him. She said “Sorry I thought it would be a cute picture cause he’s dressed to match us.” I cut her off and said “No Lucy he’s dressed to match me. I’m not sure what you think your doing wanting to become me and comparing yourself to me, but it needs to stop.” She then rolls her eyes and slumps in her chair. She mumbled under her breath “I don’t look like you. You look like me. Get it right. You’re so obsessed.”
I started to yell at her “You don’t look like me. Not even a little bit. Your eyes are blue and mine are green. Your hair is brown while mine is blonde. Your nose slopes down and mine slopes up at the end. Your chin is slightly pointed and my sticks out. My eyes are almond while yours are hooded. I’m 5’11 and you’re 5’3. Your boobs are bigger than mine. My feet are bigger than yours. We do not look alike.”
At this point everyone is looking at us. Most people know what i’m getting at cause they asked me days ago why she was copying me. Lucy starts to cry called me some names and ran off. I cut the night short and went home. I told my mom in the morning and she told me I should’ve let Lucy live out her fantasy for a week till I graduate. A couple of friends of Lucy have texted me and called me an Asshole. But I don’t think I am.

2024.05.15 06:27 Upset_Rice7021 I(29F) and partner(33m) and fighting due to my parents religion
Okay. I need some serious advice. My partner and I have been together for over 10yrs. We have 2 beautiful children together, 8yrs and a 1yr old.
For reference….I was raised in an very religious Roman Catholic family(I am the 2nd oldest of 7 kids). I went to a Catholic elementary and high school, went to church every week, and got all the sacraments that a kid would go through. It wasn’t until the end of high school that my mind really changed about my religion. There was QUITE a few things that I just didn’t agree with and I started to distance myself from the church. I no longer consider myself catholic and no longer go to church or have raised my children Catholic. Although there are soooo many things I find absolutely absurd and appalling about the Catholic Church, I do recognize that my parents are still Catholic and just as they don’t question my choice to leave the church-I don’t question them staying within the church. I should mention-pretty much all of my siblings(except for the 2 youngest) have left the church as well. Regardless of those differences I love my family and we are all outrageously close, and my mom and dad along with my 6 other siblings are considered my closes friends and we spend most weekends hanging out. They are amazing grandparents to my kids and some of the most supportive and kind people I know.
Now. Here’s where things getting sticky. My partner has very….VERY, strong feelings about the Catholic Church. He considers it a cult filled with horrible child abuse. I don’t disagree that their is some seriously fucked up things happening within the church-and as I’ve said, there’s a reason why I left the church…but I just don’t talk about religion with my parents and I choose to just not let that effect my relationship with them. My partner is not so much that way.
So here’s what happened..My youngest brother is in grade 11(very big age gap between us). He is the sweetest kid you’ll ever meet and is very mature and overall a very kind kid. My oldest son and him have always been very close, less of a uncle-nephew relationship and more of a brother relationship. One day the 2 of them were playing at the park and not sure how the topic got brought up, but suddenly they were talking about heaven and hell. My son is a very inquisitive 8 year old and then started asking questions to my brother about heaven. I wasn’t there….so it’s hard to gather how the conversation went, but my son ended up saying to me and my partner “I want to get baptized so I can go to heaven, because that’s the only way I can go to heaven.”
I was quite upset about this, but truthfully I didn’t think for a second my brother said it to him exactly like that-or meant any harm by it-he was just a 16yr old who didn’t know how to answer a very deep question, and probably did a poor job of handling the situation…(he’s a kid after all) I explained to my son that that was not true and that his uncle was religious and that’s just what HE believed.
Now to say my partner was upset is an understatement….he was livid and started saying some extremely harsh things about people within the Catholic Church(in front of our son). Saying things like “you have to watch out for priest”, “they’re a cult”. I got mad at my partner and told him to cool off, and said that we should have an open conversation with our son about our differences with the Catholic Church-but that I didn’t feel the way he was handling it was appropriate, and came off extremely hateful and not at all a good way to have a conversation with an 8yr old. Not to mention our son knows some of my family is Catholic and I felt he was almost telling our son that his grandparents were bad people.
I ended up talking to my brother about the situation, he felt so bad and was so mature about it and apologized profusely for not handling the situation well and for putting certain ideologies in his head. He explained the whole situation to me and honestly, it was just a stupid mistake on his part and now he knows to just tell my son to talk to me if he brings up something to do with heaven or hell or religion. End of story, right?
NOPE. I should quickly mention that my partner and my youngest brother are actually extremely close. He’s known my brother since he was 5 yrs old and truly looks at him as a little brother. I’ve always loved how close they are. So, after I told my partner that I talked to my brother about the situation and how he maturely handled it-my partner says, “I’m not even mad at him….I’m mad at your parents because they’re Catholic and they’re the ones who have put all these ideas in your brothers head”. So now my partner is beyond pissed at my parents…treats them poorly and doesn’t come to family gatherings….
This is all extremely hard for me…my family has always treated my partner so well, and loved him like their own. I’m mad at my partner for being so hateful, but I’m trying to always be understanding of his frustration. I don’t like choosing between the two-but truthfully I think my partner is 100% out of line and needs to take a step back. The way he talks is so cruel and hateful and regardless if I don’t like the Catholic Church all that much-I don’t believe that speaking about someone else’s religion the way he does is kind.
I’m honestly so thrown off by his behaviour and feel like we won’t ever get past this.
Sorry for the long story…Any advice would be amazing.

2024.05.15 06:27 Khelldon78 Guide: Modding for Steam Deck via PC - May, 2024
Over the last month I have had a heck of a time modding Skyrim for Steam Deck. In early 2023 I had modded the game via a Youtube video which worked perfectly but after the latest update, this is no longer the case. Googling provided almost Zero help.. Well through trial and error I've finally got the game modded for Steam Deck with 77 mods running perfectly. Today I'd like to share my findings.
I'll be using Vortex mod manager and SkyrimSE. For any other version of Skyrim just substitute your version instead. Also I know this may look overwhelming, it's not as hard as it looks, I'm just thorough. Aside from waiting for things to download and copy, this will take about 5-10 minutes. If there are issues however, one of the steps to fix this could take hours.
What you'll need:
Note: If you've already modded Skyrim on PC you can skip this section.
Preparing Skyrim for the deck:
Preparing the Deck for Skyrim:
Installing the mods and set up:
Crashes, Broken Mods and other issues:
Problem: The game ran a validation check and now my mods aren't showing up.
Solution: This will happen from time to time. Switch to desktop mode. Open your "Skyrim Mods" folder and re-copy the SkyrimSE.exe file into the decks Skyrim folder. This is why we keep that folder around.
Problem: The game seems to missing one or more textures.
Solution: Start with a validation check (then follow previous problems solution). If that doesn't work it would appear that one or more of the mods you are using overwrite one or more of the games textures. Unfortunately you'll need to start again while skipping the uninstall of Skyrim step. This will create a much larger file transfer size but should fix the problem.
Problem: The game crashes when I open menus or while looting or some mods are broken or not showing up. All other issues.
Solution: This one is a bit of a doozy. So most likely what is happening is your mod load order is out of whack. There is a fix but it can be very time consuming depending on how many mods you have installed. With the 77 I have it took about an hour.
On your PC open "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\profiles" where "USERNAME" is your name you sign into your PC with. Inside that folder there should be another folder named randomly. Open that and inside will be a text file called "loadorder.txt". Open that.
On your steam deck load Skyrim and when the main menu loads select "Creations". When it loads, press the "Y" button to configure the load order. Here you will find all your installed mods.
What you are going to want to do is cross reference the load order from the "loadorder.txt" with the load order you are seeing in Creations on the deck. You can reorder the list in creations by using "LB" while highlighting the mod you want to move. For me, it was very wrong and caused a lot of problems. This will fix all that.
That should be all. If you have any questions or issues that I didn't cover, please leave a comment.

If there are issues however, one of the steps to fix this could take hours.
What you'll need:
- A PC capable of installing Skyrim and Vortex mod manager.
- A USB or USBC thumb drive or external drive (100gigs minimum).
- Cloud Saves Enabled for Skyrim.
- (optional) If your drive is USB you'll need a hub for your Steam Deck that supports USB.
- (optional) A keyboard and mouse to use on the Deck. Although you don't NEED these, it'll make the process much easier.
Note: If you've already modded Skyrim on PC you can skip this section.
- On your PC, Install Skyrim via Steam (remember where you installed it for later).
- When it's finished, download and install Vortex Mod Manager.
- Open your web browser and go to Nexus Mods and find and download all the mods you want to use. Select the "Files" tab and then select the "Mod Manager Download" option so Vortex can properly manage the mods. You may have to resolve some conflicts or the like, Vortex is pretty good at making that easy.
- Once you are happy with the mods you have downloaded and installed. Launch Skyrim through Vortex by clicking the play button on the Skyrim graphic in the top left.
- Play for at least 30 mins making sure to try everything, opening the map, your inventory, spells, etc.. If there are no crashes and no visible problems then you are good to go. Save the game and Close Skyrim and move to the next step.
Preparing Skyrim for the deck:
- On your PC, open steam and uninstall Skyrim. This will leave you with a Skyrim directory with only the mods and nothing else. (note: certain mods will break with this method, mostly mods that overwrite default textures/models. These aren't common but if you experience this, you can skip this step and proceed to step 2)
- Open your Skyrim directory on PC and plugin your thumb/external drive.
- Copy the entire "Skyrim Special Edition" folder to your thumb/external drive.
Preparing the Deck for Skyrim:
- On your Steam Deck, Install Skyrim normally. Run it at least once to make sure the prerequisites are installed..
- Exit to desktop. To do this, long press the power button until a menu pops up with the option to 'switch to desktop".
- Right click your desktop and select: "Create New>Folder". Name it "Skyrim Mods". This will be very important to save you headaches in the future.
- Plug in your Thumb/external drive and mount and open it when prompted.
- Open the "Skyrim Special Edition" folder from your thumb/external drive.
- Copy "SkyrimSE.exe" and "skse64_loader.exe" to the "Skyrim Mods" folder you created on your desktop.
- In the desktop folder, rename "SkyrimSE.exe" to "SkyrimSE_old.exe" and also rename "skse64_loader.exe" to "SkyrimSE.exe".
- Right click inside the folder and select: "Create New>Text File" and name it "SKSE.ini".
- Open "SKSE.ini" with your default text editor.
- type the following into the "SKSE.ini" and save.
[Loader]_________________________________________________________________________________________
RuntimeName=SkyrimSE_old.exe
Installing the mods and set up:
- Open your Skyrim directory on your deck. If you don't know where that is, open Steam from the desktop taskbar, right click Skyrim and select: "Manage>Browse Local Content".
- Open your thumb/external drive and copy the contents of "Skyrim Special Edition" to your decks "Skyrim Special Edition" folder. When prompted select "Write into". Wait for it to finish copying. You may now unplug the thumb/external drive.
- Open your "Skyrim Mods" folder from your desktop.
- Copy the "SkyrimSE.exe" and "SkyrimSE_old.exe" into the "Skyrim Special Edition" folder. Select "overwrite" when prompted.
- Inside your decks "Skyrim Special Edition" folder open "DATA" and then "SKSE"
- Copy your "SKSE.ini" file into the "SKSE" folder on the deck.
- Double click the "Return to Gaming Mode" icon on the desktop and wait for it to load up.
- Launch Skyrim and load the save you made on your PC. This will enable all your mods. Play for at least 30 mins and try as many menus and mods as you can. If there are no issues, yay! Enjoy!
Crashes, Broken Mods and other issues:
Problem: The game ran a validation check and now my mods aren't showing up.
Solution: This will happen from time to time. Switch to desktop mode. Open your "Skyrim Mods" folder and re-copy the SkyrimSE.exe file into the decks Skyrim folder. This is why we keep that folder around.

2024.05.15 06:26 sunnybacillus My outfit from today's concert ❤️🦋
 | I really wanted to go for a Butterfly/Stand Out theme, so I crocheted the top to try and look like a butterfly, and although they don't look like it, the things hanging off the thing around my skirt are butterflies too, and so are the red things hanging off my phone submitted by sunnybacillus to P1Harmony [link] [comments] I am so proud of that little alien, the yarn I used was expensive and kind of a pain but he glows in the dark!! Me and my sister made matching headbands with our biases names (in Korean, mine is Soul and hers is Theo) and I didn't get a pic of hers but it looks the same This was my first concert in 8 or 9 years and it was so much fun!!! There were so many cool people there too and I got lots of amazing freebies!! Can't wait to go again someday 💕 |

2024.05.15 06:26 Charming-Win-2992 The Masculinity Crisis
 | https://preview.redd.it/wmt66mz6pi0d1.png?width=1456&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e8f3973d12a5ee5065849dab8765a7b89194490 submitted by Charming-Win-2992 to u/Charming-Win-2992 [link] [comments] In the contemporary landscape, a pervasive and deeply troubling phenomenon has emerged: a masculinity crisis that has left countless men grappling with confusion, disconnection, and an ineffective self image. This crisis has far-reaching implications, affecting not only individual men but also the very fabric of our society. At its core, the masculinity crisis is rooted in a complex interplay of social, cultural, and personal factors that have left many men struggling to find their place and purpose in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. One of the most prominent manifestations of this crisis is the growing sense of frustration and unfulfillment that many men experience in their romantic and sexual lives. For a significant number of men, the pursuit of sexual and emotional intimacy has become a source of great pain. They find themselves struggling to navigate the complex and often confusing landscape of modern dating and relationships, feeling ill-equipped to meet the challenges and demands of an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving social and sexual landscape. Many men find themselves single for extended periods, grappling with loneliness, rejection, and inadequacy. Some remain virgins well into their adult years, while others have limited sexual experiences that leave them unfulfilled. Even those in long-term relationships often struggle with a lack of sexual spark and emotional intimacy, feeling drained and unfulfilled. Moreover, men have lost the ancient wisdom of sexual alchemy, a practice taught in most cultures throughout history. This loss leads to men not receiving the benefits of physical and spiritual development that come from harnessing their sexual energy. Instead, they often waste their powerful essence, stored in their seed, through excessive ejaculation (into toilet paper). These outcomes create a negative feedback loop for men, leading to high porn usage, social isolation, poor mental and physical health, and even suicide. The central cause of these struggles lies in the fact that traditional notions of masculinity, which emphasize strength, stoicism, sexual prowess, family legacy, strong tribe connections, spiritual enlightenment, and natural living, are increasingly becoming obsolete, which is in direct contrast with the realities of modern life. This leaves many men with a distorted sense of self, creating a destructive feedback loop that involves negative self-talk, interpreting experiences in a way that confirms the negative self-image, and engaging in behaviors that align with this distorted perception. As men become trapped in this cycle, they often lose touch with important life skills and self-regulating habits crucial for physical and mental well-being, further exacerbating the masculinity crisis. Additionally, confusion stems from competing and contradictory messages about what it means to be a "real man," leaving them feeling lost in these conflicting expectations and demands. These external pressures and societal norms contribute to the formation of a distorted self-image in many men. Some voices in the conversation around the masculinity crisis point to the "feminization" of men as a key contributor. The blurring of traditional gender roles, which is to protect the family, strengthen ties within the social circle, befriend other tribes/communities, and provide food and other aspects of physical security, has led to a weakening of masculine identity, leaving men feeling emasculated and disempowered. This ties to the concept of being a "high value" man, a position that men are increasingly failing to meet, which used to be tied to survival in nature, but is now tied to material status in this consumerist social paradigm. Furthermore, men think of themselves as inheriting the progress of history, with rights and freedoms claimed to have never existed before, but this is, and it's a bold claim, a huge illusion. There were definitely times where "progress" wasn't measured in GDP, mindless entertainment, or weaponry advancement, but in happiness, connection to nature, being able to survive based on hands-on food cultivation, natural remedies, coexisting with many creatures while maintaining balance in the ecosystem, and ensuring the cohesiveness of the tribe (to name a few). The illusion of an advanced society is perpetuated by the focus on technological progress and economic growth, while the TRUE resilience and well-being of society are often overlooked. This leaves society vulnerable and lacking the necessary skills to thrive and survive in the face of challenges around sustenance if access to the main commodities were to be disrupted for any reason. These arguments point to the full complexity of the problem. The roots of the masculinity crisis are deeply entangled with a wide range of social, cultural, and economic factors, from the changing nature of work and the economy to the impact of technology and social media on our interpersonal relationships. Most people don't know why or how we got to this point where we see all these problems. Because of that, most men resort to blaming women, social media, politics, or any single external factor, which is an oversimplification that fails to address the deeper, more systemic issues at play. Walking this complex terrain requires a deep and honest reckoning with the very nature of masculinity itself. It demands that we question our assumptions about what it means to be a man, begin to reimagine more expansive ways, and to connect to ancient ways of embodying and expressing our masculine energy. Only by confronting the crisis head-on, by doing the difficult work of self-reflection and personal growth, can we hope to heal the wounds of the past and present and build a more authentic and fulfilling vision of masculinity for the present and the future. This is where the concept of KOSMIC ENTELECHY comes into play – guiding men to actualize their ultimate masculine potential through inner game, outer game, and purpose. By focusing on personal development, natural skills needed to make women sexually and romantically interested, and aligning with a higher multi-layered purpose, men can tap into their innate potential and find a sense of fulfillment and meaning in their lives, ultimately contributing to the betterment of the world around them and leaving a positive legacy on Earth. It is through this journey of comprehensive and integrative growth that men can reconnect to their destiny and create a brighter experience for themselves and generations to come. |
2024.05.15 06:26 Longjumping-Run3493 How’s my MOH speech??
Please let me know how this sounds 💚 I am terrible with words and terrified of public speaking sooooo I need it to sound good while I try not to pass out as I give this speech 💀
-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!
submitted by Longjumping-Run3493 to wedding [link] [comments]
-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!
- I know a good portion of you here with us tonight but for those I don’t know, hi my name is MOH.
- I met Groom and Bride in high school through mutual friends. While I hung out with bride occasionally and bumped into groom in group settings, it wasn't until a few years later that bride and I would become close.
- bride, It's difficult to put into words just how grateful I am for you, but ill give it my best shot. Thank you for loving me for who I am, even though I'm a bit bullheaded and stubborn. You’re the person I call when I have exciting news to share or need to vent after a tough day. I know my deepest secrets are safe with you and you’ll give me the advice I need, even when it's tough to hear. Thank you for loving my children as your own, even if they are little wild. I can never thank you enough for always being around to support me during those dark days after I had child’s name.. I don’t know how I would of made it these last 9 years with out you. While life has taken us down different paths, we have always made the best effort to keep our friendship as close as possible. Naps on the couch with the dogs and all day hangouts have turned into trips to the zoo and hour long phone calls on your drive home and even longer when you commuted for school. Just know we can never stop our wild days on the boat and ice cream runs to ___, those keep us both somewhat sane. Bride you are kind and loving, genuine to the core and never afraid to speak your mind. You are truly amazing inside and out and i’m so glad I to call you my best friend.
- Groom, I was unsure if we would become friends in the beginning of you and bride’s relationship. You would walk in the door without saying a word, heading straight for the computer room. Now when you walk in, you almost always have some smack to talk, so id say we’ve come a long way. You’re not the type to write some mushy Facebook post professing your love for bride, and If you did, I'd probably think you've hit your head... But words aren’t necessary to see how much you adore her. The way your face lights up when you look at her says it all. Your love for her is unconditional. Thank you for loving bride exactly as she is, for always standing by her as her biggest supporter, and for filling her days with laughter and joy. Even if that means occasionally pushing her buttons just to get a rise out of her. I could not imagine a more perfect person to be her husband.
- Mr. And Mrs. XXXX! I have been dying to say that all day. Thank you for allowing the kids and I to be a part of your special day. May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day, and may your journey together be filled with laughter, joy, and endless blessings. Here's to a lifetime of happiness and cherished memories. Congratulations, Groom and Bride, I love you both. Cheers!!
2024.05.15 06:26 Huntress-Valentina [NA][PS][Any] Stack Finder Here!
I will be reposting this weekly for the community. MAKE SURE YOUR PSN PRIVACY SETTINGS ARE DISABLED OR I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADD YOU PLEASE
NO MNK PLAYERS ALLOWED. Please make sure you are not misspelling your psn name.. it slows me down. Also, age preference is 18+, some exceptions
Hey, I created a PSN group chat called "R6 Stack Finder." This will be a good way to find teammates on demand rather than waiting and making posts here, though this subreddit is still relevant, so dont ignore it. This group chat is for anyone of any rank and experience, only related to PSN and USA
However, there are a few conditions to follow. When asking for teammates in the chat, make the following known so get exactly what you are looking for.
A mic is required at all times. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in this reddit looking for teammates for a better experience.
Rank: Mode: Style: Role:
Example: Im Copper V, LF 2-3 ppl for Ranked, comp style, I play support.
Example: No rank, LF any to play quickmatch/standard, chill-casual, Im an IGL-Flex, etc
You get the gist. With this, no longer will you have to fear garbage games with bad randoms who don't play siege the way it's meant to be. You will find people, create alliances and make personal friends, and prolly develop your own consistent 5 stack to achieve your goals, where it will be casual chilling or playing hard and serious.
If you would like an invite to this psn group chat, just respond with your psn below and get to asking for teammates when you're ready to play!
BE ADVISED: THIS GROUP CHAT IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO MAIN R6 SIEGE AS THEIR MOST PLAYED GAME ON PSN
The reason being is that it can become large with a lot of people and the last thing we need is a bunch of people In the group chat who play siege once a week, that just takes up space and ruins the consistency of finding teammates. So this is strictly and all about siege. I'm not saying that siege has to be your ONLY game, but only join this if you play siege for most of your psn hours and are serious. This is to help the solo community. Good luck.

2024.05.15 06:25 SnooGoats339 I moved out of my parent’s house and ghosted them for a week but I kinda feel guilty
Ill use a fake name, hi I’m rose 19F and have been living with my parents since I was 11 1/2. My parents are my aunt and uncle who took me in because my birth mother wasn’t competent. I grew a bond with my aunt specifically, I see her as a mother I never had. However, the past years has been harsh. Her forms of punishment was..weird. If I forgot to do the dishes or clean my room, she would threaten to kick me out. If I didn’t do well on a test or got a weird grade, she would go on a rant on how she sacrificed stuff to get me the things that I want/need. With this happening of course it made me anxious of doing things. It felt like I was tip toeing around egg shells to make sure I didn’t do the wrong thing. I was a well behaved girl, I did what was ask of me. Side note, I’m diagnosed with MDD(Major depressive disorder) and Anxiety. My depression causes me to lose motivation and obviously makes me not do basic things. For example, I can’t leave my bed, I can’t brush my teeth, I can’t shower, I don’t feel hungry, I don’t want to do my school work. She knows this and I told her whenever I have the energy to tell her. She claims she understands but she berates me, telling me that I’m lazy, selfish, and inconsiderate. My senior year of high school, I lied about two assignments. The next day she kicked me out. She made me pack my stuff and wait for my birth mother. Of course she didn’t come and she told me that since my mom doesn’t want me.. she’ll give me a second chance. Before that happened, after she found I lied about the work, she was crying and then she punched me.. She was punching me. That scarred me, I realized things won’t be the same anymore. She apologized, but I can’t get over that. Recently, I’m currently a college student, have started to take anti depressants. It took a toll on my grades and my well being. I barely left my room, barely showered, but I started eating a lot. We used to have chores but since I’m older I just have to clean after myself. I still clean the house. My two cousins live with me and they are 18F and 19F. We switch up on what we clean as if it’s a chore still. Anyways, I had a date with a girl and as we were pulling off, my aunt called me. She asked me where I was going and with who. I told her and she asked if I did anything around the house. I obviously told her no because the house is already cleaned. She told me that she’s going to be bringing back chores. I shrugged it off because maybe she was mad that there’s nothing to do? Anyways, the next day came around and chores are brought back. I don’t remember that much that day but I was out at my job. I wasn’t scheduled but I just wanted to be away from my house. I told my friend what was going on because I’m overwhelmed. My mental health and then my parent is pissed. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do. I then realize what I’ve been experiencing wasn’t normal and that I shouldn’t feel that way that I feel. So I decided to move out that night. No plan, no money saved up, and that’s it. I got home and went straight to packing up my stuff. I wasn’t thinking so I just packed clothes and shoes. I went downstairs and told them I was moving out. I left and then ignored their calls. I stayed the night with my girl for a bit before staying with a friend for a bit. After a week I decided to talk to my family since I talked to no one! I read a message and my parent told me I wasn’t welcomed back. I told my cousins why I moved out and they understood. One of my cousins and I talked about the matter and she told me that all my parent ever wanted to do was to love me. She told me my parent haven’t eaten and slept well. Im starting to feel bad as if I made the wrong move. Although, I feel some type of weight lifted. I’m feeling really lonely as well. I’ve been looking for places to rent but I have steady income! I won’t let the darkness shroud me. I just wonder if I did something wrong. Am I in the wrong for the feeling the way I do? Am I in the wrong for moving without saying anything?

2024.05.15 06:25 MelancholyMachine 28 [M4F] Edmonton, Canada In search of my ride or die - someone to grow and enjoy life with.
Hello! My name is Tai, and as the title says I'm 28 years old, born and raised in Western Canada. I would consider myself an incredibly kind, caring and compassionate person capable of being empathetic and non-judgmental and hope to find someone similar to learn, grow and experience the best of life and humanity with.
A bit about me;
I'm biracial Asian and white, born to an Asian father and white mother. I'm beyond passionate about music! I'm a self-taught pianist, I need to sing like I need to breathe and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar. If I could make music for a living and share my art with the world, move people with my sound and bring people together, my heart would overflow with happiness. I love fashion as as art and one of the highest forms of self expression. I love seeing the confidence and comfort in those who find their style and rock it unapologetically. I'm just as comfortable staying in and gaming or binge-watching a good show as I am going out and exploring the wilderness, though I do genuinely and wholeheartedly appreciate any opportunity I have to just soak in and be in awe of nature. Animals. I have the softest spot for any and all animals and grossly sob watching rescue videos on Instagram. If you have animals, I want to see them please and thank you.
More importantly though, I'm really big on communication and active listening, and though sometimes struggle as we all do from time to time, always do my best to ensure others feel heard and validated so we can work on the problems at hand effectively and thoughtfully.
We're all humans just trying to piece together and make our way through life for the first time and I acknowledge that we are all far from perfect, I just want to find someone who wants to put in the work with me to kind of just have a beautiful and fulfilling life full of the good and bad that we can get through together.
Thank you for reading

It's me! Doctor Darthenshmirtz! It's been a long time! Anyways I wanted to give you some updates about my latest project, I call it my De-sick-inator! HAHAHA... Ah, well, in person the affect is usually cooler, but I'll attach a picture, it's a really cool machine, and totally just for good! So far it's not making people not sick, but it is able to seemingly turn coal into diamonds with its beam, which is pretty cool! Now to just figure out how to turn sick people into healthy people with the beam, maybe if I adjust the polarity, or maybe if I switch out the green and red wires, you know, I'm gunna try that! Okay that did not work, and the machine is smoking and on fire now, so I'm going to quit typing and evacuate the building, oh by the way that cloned flower sample you gave me is growing really great in my garden on Telos, it's very pretty but I keep catching a completely normal Platypus trying to investigate it, weird. Anyways the smoke is getting thick so bye! -Doctor Darthenshmirtz |

2024.05.15 06:24 Broke_Watch I need help understanding no longer human
I've been trying to get back into reading. I finished kokoro my natsume soseki which I feel like I understood. and today I read and finished NLH and I don't know what to think. I didn't know it was a semi biography until I checked this subreddit so idk if my thoughts have changed but I'm having difficulty on what I'm supposed to have gathered from this and tbh I don't know if there is anything to learn at all.
My first impression was that yozo is a sociopath. Someone who just doesn't get human interactions or how to act like one. Not psychotic as he states he never wanted to kill someone but that his misunderstanding of people and how to live drive him to ruining his life and that of others. In the beginning of the book in I beleive the foreward it states that the character " in the same way most men don't recognize there cruelty and the way they hurt others he doesn't recognize his gentleness and his capacity for love" perhaps this was a reference to another book but I read the book and he seems he has no gentleness, aside from when he pretends to be, with takeheshi, and certainly no love. as a matter of fact the only time he mentions he actually loved anyone was the person he tried to kill himself with, I'm bad with names. But then at the very end of the book the bar owner says that yozo was an angel and was kind why would she think that they hadnt evem known each other long until he told her that he left the other girl for her.
. So now I'm thinking to myself that what if we have a case if an unreliable narrator. What if yozo misunderstood everything about his own life and he couldn't recognize the events in his life for what they were. That maybe he was always human living with some warped imposter syndrome. That he never needed to learn about others he had only ever needed to learn about himself. That if he only loved himself he could be spared of all the issues in his life. Is it possible that most of the events in the story in actuality happened way differently?
I don't know how to digest the story I've been Givin. At first when I read about yoshiko I thought oh she cheated on him well yozo is a piece of shit too can you blame her?. Then I re read the part cause something wasn't right and I'm like oh no she was r**** and now I'm more angry at yozo than ever. But yozos "friend", started with an H, I don't remember sorry again bad at names, as much as I also don't like him he would have said oh your wife is being assaulted go do something. he only says, forgive her cause your not so great yourself, you wouldn't say that after someone gets assaulted you would say that if someone cheated, in that circumstance so what's with that interaction.
Furthermore there was no struggle. I have read that there is a line somewhere yoshiko says "you didn't protect me" but I don't think that's from the novel rather the Manga which isn't cannon. I've heard theorys it was blackmail but how could it be the guy didn't have anything on him and was not his boss. although the guys name isn't stated we do kinda know who it is at least yozo does it's the "guy who lives near the store who works at the newspaper" or something and he is never seen again. I'm getting off topic and tbh maybe it's cause I'd rather her cheat on him than get assaulted so im reaching. In the end I can just boil him down to either being a coward or someone who just doesn't care about the person meant to be his wife.
Maybe I'm overthinking the book. Maybe I need to waot till tomorrow to let what I read marinate and maybe it'll make more sense. I don't feel better off for reading it per say as I did with kokoro but it was an..interesting read to say the least
Thank you to anyone who went through the trouble of reading through this novel here I just wrote. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks in advance

2024.05.15 06:24 Accused_Lima_Bean_69 The Harrowing Tale of the Chicken Shortage
In the bustling world of fast-casual dining, where every decision can make or break a company's success, there existed a CEO named Mr. Nickles, the visionary leader of a renowned chain of Mexican restaurants. Under his guidance, the company flourished, serving up delicious burritos, bowls, and tacos to hungry patrons across the nation.
But in the spring of 2024, a crisis loomed on the horizon that threatened to disrupt the very foundation of Nickles's empire. It was the great chicken supply chain shortage—a catastrophe of epic proportions that sent shockwaves through the industry.
As the shortage worsened, Nickles faced a difficult decision. With chicken prices soaring and supplies dwindling, he knew he had to take action to ensure the survival of his company. Reluctantly, he made the tough call to temporarily forgo ordering chicken for his very own burritos and burrito bowls, in solidarity with the vast workforce who were mandated to make the same sacrifice.
The decision was met with mixed reactions. Some employees understood the necessity of the sacrifice, while others grumbled about the loss of their favorite protein option. But Mr. Nickles remained steadfast in his commitment to weathering the storm together with his team.
Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days as the shortage dragged on. The company faced mounting pressure from shareholders and customers alike, but Nickles refused to waver in his resolve. He rolled up his sleeves and worked tirelessly alongside his employees, leading by example and demonstrating his unwavering dedication to the company's values.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the chicken supply chain began to stabilize, and Nickles could breathe a sigh of relief. The crisis had passed, but not without leaving its mark on the company and its employees.
Looking back on those dark days, Nickles knew that the true measure of a leader lay not in times of prosperity, but in times of adversity.

But in the spring of 2024, a crisis loomed on the horizon that threatened to disrupt the very foundation of Nickles's empire. It was the great chicken supply chain shortage—a catastrophe of epic proportions that sent shockwaves through the industry.
As the shortage worsened, Nickles faced a difficult decision. With chicken prices soaring and supplies dwindling, he knew he had to take action to ensure the survival of his company. Reluctantly, he made the tough call to temporarily forgo ordering chicken for his very own burritos and burrito bowls, in solidarity with the vast workforce who were mandated to make the same sacrifice.
The decision was met with mixed reactions. Some employees understood the necessity of the sacrifice, while others grumbled about the loss of their favorite protein option. But Mr. Nickles remained steadfast in his commitment to weathering the storm together with his team.
Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days as the shortage dragged on. The company faced mounting pressure from shareholders and customers alike, but Nickles refused to waver in his resolve. He rolled up his sleeves and worked tirelessly alongside his employees, leading by example and demonstrating his unwavering dedication to the company's values.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the chicken supply chain began to stabilize, and Nickles could breathe a sigh of relief. The crisis had passed, but not without leaving its mark on the company and its employees.

2024.05.15 06:24 Wrong-Climate6314 [F4A] Stranger things roleplay
Hi everybody! I’ve been listening to ‘Running up that hill’ a lot lately and now I want a stranger things roleplay! I am looking for you to play a canon character and I will be playing an oc. I will give information about me, My rules, and anything else that comes to mind.
Firstly let me tell you about myself. My names Min-ji. I’m from South Korea, I’m 20 years old and going to college to be a doctor! I am also in a dance class and I teach some dance classes but I am free 95% of the time and should be able to respond rather quickly, if not I will let you know if I’ll be busy. I love the color green and black. I love watching k-dramas, obsessed with Kpop idol and love pandas!
Next are my rules! They aren’t very serious rules just simple things:
Now I will give a list of characters that you can choose to play:
•Steve Harrington
•Billy Hargrove
•Jonathan Byers
•Eddie Munson
•Jim hopper
Now I think that is all for now. Of course we will discuss anything else in the chat, such as plots, tropes, and anything like that.
