so, long story short: I am dealing with depression, health anxiety and panic attacks. a few months ago, I forgot to take my meds a few days and after I started to take them again, I got the worst panic attack in my life, I thought I was having a mini stroke. I started to measure my blood pressure and it was way to high for my age. (27f). I went to the doctor and told him about my panic about strokes. I got bloodwork done, he took a ultrasonic from my organs and I got a longterm 24 hour measure for my blood pressure. today, I got my results back and what a surprise, I am perfectly fine. and the funniest thing: my blood pressure is perfect. he explained to me that if you have panic before you measure your blood pressure, it WILL BE HIGH. its all in my head and the wildest thing is, I was really sure that I need to take some meds for my blood pressure. but no.

Hello everyone at GiftofGames, how are you all doing!!
I recently graduated from college and I'm struggling to find a job. It's really demoralising for me receiving rejection letters, I'm a big gamer and playing games is the only thing that has kept my morale up during these tough times. My financial situation is pretty dire right now, I can't afford to buy a lot of new games.
I'm currently looking to buy Horizon Forbidden West on my PS5. This is my 23rd attempt at requesting for this game. I played the first game on my PS4 and loved it. The standard edition of the game is currently on sale at $49.99. I'm looking for a $50 PlayStation gift card of US region.
GAME SUMMARY
The sequel to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West is set in a post-apocalyptic version of the Western United States recovering from the aftermath of an extinction event caused by a rogue robot swarm. The player can explore the open world and complete quests using ranged and melee weapons against hostile machine creatures.
Basically the game takes place in the far future where humanity almost gets destroyed by their advanced robotic creations. But it seems humanity have sort of gone backwards with their primitive clothing, implying that they haven't got the previous knowledge of their ancestors. The first game Horizon Zero Dawn, the protagonist Aloy discovers secrets about what happened to humanity, and its sequel is the continuation of this first game where she explores the far west of modern day america.
WHY I'M INTERESTED
The reason why this game appeals to me is the setting. I find it soo interesting how humanity was able to be on the brink of extinction and somehow managed to survive (I can't anymore due to spoilers). And after surviving, civilisation sort of went backwards instead of continuing on from the ancestors. I watch a lot of lore videos on youtube about this game, and there are many different stories hidden in the game world which tells us different perspectives of people on the situation. Even though its humanity that is in trouble, everybody has a different view on how to tackle the problem. But this is only touching the surface, there is also the robot machines created in these giant cauldrons that is a big mystery to this day.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and will give my thanks if I receive the gift card from you. Here is my PSN ID: https://psnprofiles.com/Revelanttech713

Tldr at bottom
My mom let another young man live with us and it's been about 3 months now. He's not looking for a job and has been living off of mine and my boyfriends wifi. We actually just changed the password so we know he's not using that anymore but he still plays videos games all day long on my Xbox (it was left in the house [we live in an rv on the property] cause we've been using my boyfriends xbox and my mom just let him have it) at first it was fine, we weren't using it, he shouldn't be using it to much and shouldn't be here long. Well now he's still here, again isn't trying to look for a job at all, has actually asked me and my boyfriend to trade some of his food stamps for a bottle of alcohol or some wax several times now, doesn't shower either unless it's made a big deal that he fucking reeks (we have cats and thought it was there litter boxes at first. After a thorough clean we realized it was him...) just all kinds of issues. Well just recently he went to town to spend mother's day with his mom and came back talking about how he did this with that friend and that with another. But then he said that one of them, whom is homeless and lives in a shelter, offered to get him a spot and to help him out. Well apparently he turned that offer down saying no he likes where he is better. So I'm thinking he likes playing video games all day and isn't gonna leave or take any initiative to get off our couch and it's gonna come to the point my mom will kick him out. But if I can "break" my Xbox and he can't play games anymore that might, just might, light a fire under his ass. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
("Break" meaning not actually broken but something done to it where he can't play and I just gotta do this one little thing to make it work again. He's not very smart something simple should work)
Tldr: I need to know how to "break" my Xbox to get a young man with no will in life out of my house

 I (23F) am really struggling to move forward in life. For context I recently switched jobs from sales to Pizza Delivery. My last manager was just awful to deal with, she cared more about putting money in her own wallet than her workers safety. About 2 months ago I transferred to a pizza delivery company because my friend was just raving about how much better it would be for me to work there. She told me I would be making just as much money and the work environment was comfortable with kind customers/employees. Literally a month into working I got in a car accident with a car I JUST took a bank loan out to pay for. (He was wanting to drive at least 300 feet in the bike lane to turn right at a light way behind me. Traffic was at a complete stop and backed up, the two lanes to the left of me had traffic stopped with a gap for me to turn left back into work. He was driving so fast when he got in the turning lane I didn’t see him until I was making my turn and it completely totaled my car… my radiator sits in the very front of my car.) my insurance still has not gotten back to me about who is at fault and I had to sell my car because the towing company wanted $500 to give me my car back and I didn’t have the money. I am now without a car having to work as an insider making not even half of what I was making before. I’m stuck with a $4,000 car loan with no car to show for, and I’m barely able to find rides to work every day. I can barely afford to pay for my bills, my boyfriends has to help me pay them every 2 weeks because I keep running short in money. We barely have money for food at this point and i just don’t see me making enough money to be able to afford another car. I can’t afford to take out another loan since I also have snap payments for $5,000 of work I had done on my car to get it up and running. I can switch my job and still barely have enough money to live at this point, with no opportunity to save for another vehicle. I am so lost at, I worked so hard just to end up here, no vehicle, making less money than before, and I’m CONSTANTLY getting sick and vomiting from the stress. I don’t even have the money to see a therapist for a single session.. I really need some advice I don’t know what more I can do except work my life away praying for miracles. Even words of encouragement would be appreciated at this point. Every time I think about my life situation I start bawling. 

I wasn't allergic to mosquitoes until my 20s. Well, like everyone else, I had blisters that disappeared in a few hours. But now, thanks to my AM, I have to go to the hospital practically every time I am bitten by a mosquito or a midge. It happened gradually:
My mother didn't allow me to use any anti-mosquito sprays or fumigants at home. If she found one, she threw it away and cursed me for polluting the house. Unfortunately, there were a lot of mosquitoes every summer and I kept getting stung.
I begged my mother to put mosquito screens on the windows and offered to pay for them out of my own pocket, but she refused every time. She didn't want strangers in the house. She accused me of "attracting" mosquitoes by sitting at the computer late at night with the lights on.
Our trip to a resort became the final nail in the coffin. There was a lake nearby, so swarms of mosquitoes were flying on the beach and around the houses. And I got more than 20 bites just the first night there. You can imagine, we didn't bring any sprays or protection. Of course... The worst part was that my mom made me rub in a cream with mint, which I found out later. The result was not only blisters, but my body, especially my legs, became very swollen and hot for several days. The red blisters on my skin lasted for several months.
I complained to Mom that people at the resort were staring at me because of them and that I needed something else to heal. She ignored this and made me wear shorts every time we went to eat. I was very shy myself and this only made my self-esteem worse.
Long story short, now when a mosquito or a midge bites me, that part of my body becomes the size of an elephant with pain and stays that way until I get an IV and several injections. I'm living on my own now, so I finally have all the sprays, screens and other things, but occasionally a mosquito finds a soft spot. When I travel, I try to find places where the risk of encountering insects is not very high. The Amazon jungle is unfortunately not on my list.
And I still can't figure out why mom did that to me.

hi, after browsing this subreddit and asking chatgbt for hours i decided to make an account to ask here directly i was very young and the memory is very vague, the friend who showed me this game also showed me 'battle painters' by jjsoft, so the possibility is high that it wasn't even that known, or maybe it was from a cornflakes box? xD
Platform(s): I'm pretty sure it was on Windows, but i could be wrong
Genre: 3rd person, 3d, game about cars, i dont think it was about rallying or anything really, there were many hills and you would just drive and jump around, many colorful cars on one map, we played multiplayer on one pc
Estimated year of release: we played it around 2003-2008-ish, very possible it was released earlier tho
Graphics/art style: extremely simple, almost like my sketch, even the colors, just in badly rendered 3d graphics the cars also were without any detail, just one color, everything very bold and colorful, much eye-cancer the map was super simple in the same style, no roads i think, just some hills, one color
Notable characters: every lil car had a different color, not much else
Notable gameplay mechanics: super bouncy, rubber like game physics, the memory that stuck with me was that when jumping the wheels would fly far and come back, like i tried to show in the sketch
many cars spawned on one map
Other details: i fear thats the only info i got
thanks in advance for anyone trying to help! have a nice day :)

Alright so, I really loved this game for most of my playthrough. Discovering different facts about the world, unlocking my tools and doing everything was really fun. The main puzzles were really nicely designed IMO, the art is really nice, the music is cool, and it's an ACTUALLY optimized game which is such a rarity these days.
With all the being said, I'm a bit disappointment at the more advanced puzzles. I get that maybe it's just a skill issue, but to me, scouring a really big map looking for a tiny thing I haven't explored is not too fun. I found myself stuck during the main game several times, which wasn't very fun, but I did manage to do everything without any help (apart from the dog disc flame, since I thought it was ridiculous you have to actually put it in the slot while being chased, so I confirmed that with a video, and ended up doing it on my first try after, lol).
My least enjoyable moments came just before the last boss fight, because I somehow did not notice the boss area once I got the lantern, and so I wandered the map over and over again since I couldn't find a way to progress. I found some eggs using the lantern, but then what I did was the worst lol.
I'm not sure if it is known (I haven't seen it mentioned in my little bit of research), but from the top right area (bear teleport), there is an area close to the left of the telephone, where you can jump down the shute, and there are some vines to prevent you from disc/bubbling... however, you can actually bubble inside the disc, bypassing the bird and the vines, and then you can climb up. I managed to do that before getting the lantern, but of course, a bird white blocks you. However, after I figured out you can disable white birds with light, I went up there again (after like 15 attempts) and found the endgame area, the torus, the clock (however all of the doors now just say 000) and also the stopwatch. It was really cool realizing the map loops, but it did kinda take away the wow factor once I did actually realize there is an end game boss fight.
After being a little angry (at myself and at the game) that I wandered aimlessly for so long, I decided to look at some of the post game puzzles online, and I'll be real, I think they're too much, not something that's really fun at all, at least to me. I guess it's just a different way to play games, but I'm a bit sad that the game left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth because of the ending + post-game.
I'd still give it like an 8/10 because it really is a wonderful game in many aspects, especially in making you have that sense of wonder (some of my favorite surprises were the map looping, the fish heads being transports with bubbles (which I didnt realize the game was telling me), and accidentally discovering the control panel for the screen), I just wish it got that balance in it's latter parts a bit better.
:3

Long short story:
We doing a aquarts mission. I find a crassus i kill it in a nice spot.
I ask driller (the host) if he has the c4 mining upgrade so he can use it
"?"
I explain that he can use it to mine fast
"Idgaf about gold i don't need it i got a mil"
I say that it's not all about just him and that 1 mill isn't a lot AT ALL as he is only diamon 2 on driller anf i am "master prestige 2" on all my classes and have less than 100k.
"Mine it yourself"
Me:ok but i was simply asking because now the mission will last much longer because it would be MUCH faster.
Bans me. That is the most leaf lover shit i have ever seen. There was a silver guy in the team. And at his level he pretty much only plays for fun. I do not see any fun in his soul. I hope he chokes on his next leaf lover.

Located in CA
I took my 9 yr old lab Ivy to the vet for an emergency visit in the beginning of March. Our regular vet couldn’t take her so we had to go to the 24/7 animal hospital. They are excellent and I was willing to pay for whatever they needed to do to help ivy.
She had been very obviously sick and in pain, puking, diarrhea, not wanting to eat. They did an ultrasound, blood panel, urinalysis, fluids, meds. They found elevated liver enzymes and ketones in her urine. She was so sick they wanted to hospitalize her overnight. I asked what they would be doing and they said monitoring. I asked if I could just monitor her myself at home and bring her back right away if she gets worse? They gave me a couple prescriptions and sent us home. -$1729
I didn’t realize until the next day they didn’t give us any pain meds or anything to help Ivy’s eating (I’d tried seriously all the bland diet options, she didn’t want any of it) I went back to get her pain meds and prescription food, and the girl says they forgot to charge me for something else so she added that on too. -$150
Ivy was getting better slowly but still not her normal happy self at all. Sad, droopy eyes, wanting to sit curled up in my lap like a baby 😭 I kept doing everything they said and I took her back about a month later to check her levels again. We saw the vet, then went back out to the busy lobby to wait until someone came out to tell me the results or medications or whatever. So I sat in the lobby and waited, I asked a few times for updates bc I needed to get back to work. After 3 hours I asked if they could check and see what was going on.
There was another dog named Ivy there that morning and the receptionist closed out MY Ivy’s account (and charged the other lady’s card -$566 of my charges). I was annoyed and paid my bill (non-itemized invoice bc she couldn’t find mine) and Ivy and I went straight to work. Ivy is my service dog and sleeps under my desk.
They said the liver enzymes and urine ketone levels were both back to a normal level which was great news. They still couldn’t really give me a clear answer as to what could’ve caused all of this, sometimes they eat things, or just get sick, whatever. She said a slow recovery was normal bc livepancreas stuff is unpredictable, painful, and can take a while to heal.
The hospital’s office called me the next day to apologize for making me wait so long and reimbursed $316 (the liver panel, I think, I don’t have an itemized invoice). They offered this without me asking which I really appreciated.
Ivy has still been sick, but definitely better than when I first took her in. She was still acting sad, no interest in her favorite things. I knew she was in pain and brought her to a different vet last week.
Dr.S had been Ivy’s vet most of her life at our regular vet’s office - we love him. He left and started his own practice,and I just found his new location is 15 minutes away from my house!! It was kind of secretive when he left the other place, I think out of respect for the owners and not take half the clients with him. Anyway, I was really happy to find him again, I fully trust him. He was Ivy’s vet at her 8-week old visit, did her spay, all of it. Ivy is scared of men she doesn’t know and she loves Dr. S.
He took a look in her mouth and was like Whoa! Found it! He saw one badly rotten and cracked tooth in the back and wanted to get scheduled for removal right away. I bought the senior wellness plan for -$998. I was quoted $1200-1600 for surgery. (He was also going to remove a large benign mass from her side since she’d be under anesthesia already, I’d been wanting to do this for a few years so this is something I wanted him to do also)
This Tuesday was surgery day. He ended up removing 3 teeth, a molar on each side, and a front tooth that was cracked and broken off (I knew about this, I’d been told it wasn’t anything to be concerned about).
He said one of the molars and the front tooth both had exposed roots, the back one had an abscess and the root was touching the bone. He asked if I wanted the pictures bc it was really interesting and you don’t usually see it so advanced 😞 He said this is definitely what has been hurting her and making it hard to eat. He said they must have not looked in Ivy's mouth at all if they didn’t notice it- twice??
He didn’t have enough time to remove the mass. He said he wasn’t comfortable keeping her under any longer due to her age and blood pressure levels. Unless it grows rapidly we’re leaving it for now.
-$350 for everything this day, including surgery time & anesthesia, full dental cleaning & sealant,office visit, sedated nail trim, medications, canned soft food, heart worm testing, some other stuff included with the senior wellness package.
It’s been two days since she got her teeth out and she’s already smiling again. She was jumping around and trying to play with her brother (cat) and she only does that when she’s really excited!! Ivy is the best dog I could ever ask for. Seeing her in pain has been so hard, because I couldn’t help her!! I was trying everything but it wasn’t working. I’m so glad we found it and I think she will be able to get better now. I wasn’t so sure for awhile there.
I called the hospital place and told them what I found out and asked what happened. How could they have missed this- TWICE? The girl was really nice and agreed this was a “very valid concern” and asked me to explain everything to her and she would talk to the medical director, try to get some answers for me, and get back to me. She asked what I wanted the resolution to be. I said I thought it would be appropriate to ask for all of my charges to be refunded in relation to this event over the past couple months including Dr. S’s charges.
She called me back when I was at dinner so I missed her call.
Is this right? I don’t know what I’m looking for, feedback, reassurance, guidance? This is malpractice, right??
I talked to Dr.S’s receptionist today, she’s going to send me the photos and a breakdown of charges between the wellness plan and what I had done, try to make sense of what would be appropriate to ask them to refund. I kinda also want to ask them for $200 flat to reimburse the food/groceries spent trying to get her to eat, literally anything I could try on her bland diet, I tried! I don’t have receipts but I know I spent a shit ton of money as Ivy’s short order cook the last couple months. (Today she scarfed down her regular food for the first time in forever, I cried). Is this pushing it too far? Should I just take whatever they offer me?
What about the fact Ivy spent 2 1/2 months in pain & suffering from the time I brought her in to the day Dr. S did her surgery? She has lost weight, and has been pretty obviously miserable the whole time.
Thanks for reading.

earlier this year, my ex (21M) dumped me (23F) after feeling conflicted about everything in his life. he was finishing up his senior year of college and it wasn’t going well. he started having some sort of existential crisis and didn’t know what he wanted to do in life. he had no motivation to be a doctor anymore, no motivation to try in school, and started falling out of love with me.
when he admitted to falling out of love with me, it came to me as a shock since it was very very sudden. i was devastated. we agreed to give each other space and stopped sleeping in the same bed. i decided to go stay at my parents house and that’s when he dumped me over text. i immediately called my best friend and she told me that she never really liked him that much. she also told me some of my other friends didn’t like him very much because of the way he sounded (he comes off as very strong and expressive, my friends are more reserved) and how opinionated he was (he was extremely passionate about the stuff he liked to the point where some people thought he was angry). despite me being angry at him, i felt bad for him. i won’t go into detail, but a lot of his personality traits stem from growing up in a loud toxic household in which he had no voice. he struggles with frequent manic and depressive episodes and i was always there to help him, i didn’t want him to feel like he was a monster because of his mental health. he was aware of my efforts and was appreciative towards me.
after about 2 weeks of being at my parents place, i go back home to my apartment that both him and i live in. he wasn’t at home at all and didn’t know where he was. long story short, he was staying at another girl’s house. i always had a weird feeling about her and how close they were, but i didn’t want to jump to conclusions. basically, i found out he developed feelings for her while we were together and was essentially having an emotional affair towards the end of my relationship with him. i was absolutely furious finding this out and blocked both of them on social media. i didn’t block his number since i still had to communicate with him for bills and such, but because of this, it led to several arguments between him and i. the arguments mainly consisted of me asking why he would do this, why he threw away two years, etc. i knew he was going through a manic episode, so i couldn’t do anything about it. i just had to watch him self sabotage. he kept telling me that he wants to explore other possibilities in life and doesn’t want to lose his independence, etc. after a lot of arguments throughout several days, i just accepted that things were over.
a couple of weeks go by, i was out of town with a friend and i get a text from him asking if we could talk. i was hesitant since i felt angry at him for basically leaving me for another girl and staying at her house, but i told him that i will speak to him later. i didn’t know what he wanted. i get home and he seemed like he was back to his old self in a way, he didn’t seem tense. he ends up apologizing over everything and tells me that he made the biggest mistake of his life and doesn’t want to lose me ever again. he explained how he couldn’t sleep at all while he was gone and kept thinking about how he destroyed his healthiest relationship he’s ever had. i was very hesitant, but i decided to take him back and take things slow. i told him that i want to work on rebuilding the trust we had again and continue to work on ourselves individually. he agreed and things are fine, he cut off the other girl, graduated, and is enjoying his post grad life.
here’s my issue, before all of this happened, we had so many great connections with our mutual friends and such. but after everyone found out what he did, his friends cut him off, my friends cut him off, everyone cut him off and expresses deep hatred towards him for hurting me the way he did. everyone essentially witnessed me crying and throwing up over him, so they want nothing to do with him. i feel embarrassed knowing that i told my friends that i wouldn’t go back to him, yet i still did. they told me they will support my decisions, but they still don’t know how to feel about him. my family basically hates him too. i feel sad knowing that all my friends hate my boyfriend, but it’s for valid reasons. im afraid that they’ll continue to hate him forever. im sorry if i sound stupid or naive, this is the first relationship i’ve been in where i’ve felt actually in love. i don’t know what to do. i want to stay with him, but the thought of my friends and family hating him forever keeps eating at me. how do i process all of this? i don’t know how to feel.

As most people already know, the transatlantic slave trade was one of the gruesome forms of slavery in the history of mankind. Millions of humans were shipped off into cargo size holes inside of ships to unknown areas and they were chained up for months on end. As soon as they got to the new world. They were sold off into slave auctions. They were treated worse than cattle. Fathers were routinely beaten and mothers were routinely raped by slave masters. There were many more gruesome things such as slave breeding farms across America during this time period. It was practically hell on earth for these slaves.
Many slaves ran off the plantations and were chased around by slave patrols at night and if they were caught. They could have their legs chopped off or castrated.
A major trend that many historians and authors have noticed across the history of slavery in the new world
EVERY successful slave rebellion from Haiti to Brazil was conducted by Muslim Africans
The Haitian revolution was the only successful one at such a large scale. They managed to fight off multiple European powers. They damaged the French so much that Napolean was forced to not only retreat from Haiti but also sell Louisiana during the Louisiana purchase.
Many Muslim Africans were forced to convert to Christianity but they still practiced Islam in secret across Haiti
The most ruthless slave rebel to the European masters was a guy by the name of Francois Macandal
He literally ended up killing over 6,000 European plantation owners in Haiti, his nickname was poison by them
The only time where Muslims were no successful in a slave rebellion was when they were intermingling with Christian Africans and pagan voodoo Africans
However the European colonial powers knew that Islam was the most aggressive belief system to cause them harm
European colonial people from Thomas Jefferson all the way to modern day Donald Trump have always seen Islam as a threat to their European Western rule over the world.
Right now, Haitians aren't Muslims by majority anymore. Even the religion of Islam is frowned upon in Haiti. The European colonial agents have successfully corrupted the minds of Haitians so that they could never see another revolution again uprooting their system
Many European westerners say Arab Muslims are just a racist as whites to African people
However people to need realize that Islam does NOT equal Arabs
You can find bad human beings in all religions but the ISLAMIC faith is NOT racist according to the Quran
This why even Arab Muslims had their whole empire destroyed to shreds by Muslim African slaves in the Zanj rebellion
Over 1 million Arabs were killed by African Muslim Zanj rebels and the leader Muhammad Ibn Ali
What I'm trying to say is that Islam always gives the slaves and oppressed to fighting chance to uproot the status quo or masters of the region
Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) uprooted the pagan Quryash and other upper class pagan Arabs
Then he uprooted the Persians who thought they were better
Even in India, the WHOLE 1857 rebellion was carried out by Indian Muslims against the British
Islam is ONLY belief system that guarantees as downtrodden people results and history has proven this
These Haitians do not know that they can easily be enslaved again because Africans without Allah(SWT) are very disorganized people
Same goes for Indian Hindus and even pagan Persians at the time
You have to remember that at a time when it was legal to enslave any black African and treat them like dogs and if they try to fight back. They would be lynched or beaten to a pulp. They had NO help at all. You have to remember that sugar cane plantations are way worse than cotton plantations.
This is why Pakistan should never let western ideology such as feminism or any type of pagan Bollywood thrive in Pakistan's psyche
Islam strengthens a people from the status of slaves and impoverished to the status of kings and rich rulers
All these other belief systems makes a person more docile by nature

Thought i would share my (short) journey with with you all. I'm a 35 year old male, approx 178 cm tall and a week ago i weighed 184 lbs.
When i was younger i was always that guy that could never put weight on, no matter what i ate or how little exercise i did my weight was always stable, which was a blessing as i have always hated working out in all of its forms. When lock down came around i switched to a work from home role and in a year my weight went from around 160 lbs to 184 and my activity level basically became non existent.
A week ago i decided to check out my recorded steps on my phone and was horrified that on some days i wasn't even hitting 700, that was enough to force me out of the house and take my first walk in years.
I have walked every day for the past week completing around 12 km each day, this combined with intermittent fasting between 8pm - 12pm and a calorie deficit which I'm tracking with an app called "Nutra Check" has helped me lose 5.6lbs.
I know its only been a week and it might sound cliche but i feel I've turned a corner, i actively look forward to getting outside, I'm sleeping better, enjoying the healthier foods and most importantly i feel entirely happier.
I'm hooked!

“Incredible!”
The rebel reeled from the punch, the fist slamming through his protective helmet and cracking his jaw. He choked out a sob at the pain and the feeling of several of his teeth being knocked down his throat.
“This? This is what you send to try and rebel against the Imperium?! THIS?!”
A harsh kick was sent into the rebels stomach, making him cough up the rations he had that morning and a few of the once missing teeth. He grabbed his stomach and his body made to tilt forward and lay in the dust.
Only he was stopped as an armored gauntlet grabbed him by the throat and forced him to stand. His hands came up and grabbed at his attackers wrist as he stared into his own grim reaper.
Said killer wore the helmet of the Macraggian Auxilia, his faceplate being that of a stylized skull. His rank was shown proudly in the form of a centurions plum, blue and white horsehair picked out atop a gilded mount on the top of his helmet.
“Incredible. It’s truly incredible what passes for rebellion these days hm?”
The soldiers behind the centurion laughed or smiled as they watched their leader hoist the rebel up as if the rebel was some game beast that was just recently hunted. Pressure in the form of steam shot out of the centurions wrist, betraying the hidden augmented limb under the armor. The rebel tried to speak, scratching at the Centurion’s arm.
“What? Speak up damn you, and speak clearly. I have no time or patience to hear some long speech about tyranny or whatever else. We have your city to burn insurgent.”
And burn it would. Two large tanks with massive flamers could be seen in the back, protected by infantry and assault vehicles. The main force would break the walls, the infantry would kill the people, and the tanks would burn the rest to ashes.
“Aghh….thill….you….thasard!”
The rebel said, spitting blood and bone fragments from his shattered jaw through what was left of his faceplate.
“Ah. Nothing interesting to say. Oh well.”
The rebel tried in vain to speak again but was silenced as the centurion forced a power gladius through his mouth. He was then unceremoniously dropped to the dust, choking on blood as he watched the Macraggian soldiers march on his home. The last thing he saw before dying was his killer, taking his helmet off and smiling in a wide, cocky manner. ————————————————————————
“Don’t spare the body men, he was a rebel. March over him.”
Tiberius Victor, Centurion of the 3rd Macraggain Legion, yelled as he wiped the grim that had built up over his helmet. He scowled at the filth that adorned his armor and sighed.
“Bloody rebels will pay for more than just rebellion. Look at this! They scratched my faceplate! And that bastard I just killed dared to spit blood at me! Oh they will pay tenfold.”
He chuckled and shrugged as he replaced his helmet. He rolled his head and drew the lapistol he had holstered at his side. He examined it for a moment before shaking his head.
“Ugh….to easy.”
He holstered the pistol again and flourished his gladius as he grabbed the handholds of a Leman Russ tank that was about to pass him by. He climbed up until he stood on top of the tank and crouched down, using his newfound height to look over his army and the objective.
The city was massive….but so were the last three he had burned. Both Imperial Army and even Ultramarine Legion Command had told him he was too far ahead and that he needed to slow down. But where was the fun in that? Besides, the campaign has been far too easy thus far. He had suffered very few casualties, his men were never hungry and his tanks never ran dry on fuel, and the enemy bled. Oh how they bled.
He sighed.
“Easy. Far too easy. Captain?”
The command hatch the tank he rode popped open and a woman in the dirty coveralls and goggled helmet of a tank commander. She looked around, rubbing her eyes before turning and smiling widely. She gave a crisp salute, one which he lazily returned, before nodding.
“Aye my Centurion?”
“Do we have any more wine about? I’m parched from all these victories we keep piling on.”
The captain cringed then turned towards the city.
“Uh….my centurion? Wouldn’t you rather have some water?”
Tiberius turned his head towards the captain, the tilt of his head betraying the cocky smile hidden beneath that the captain and the rest of the army had come to love and hate.
“Captain….are you questioning me?”
“I-no! No, of course not my centurion! But uh….well….”
He made a ‘go on’ motion with his hand, not bothering to stand up from the relaxed position he had taken. He had laid down on his side, his sword hand having sheathed his gladius to prop his head up.
“Well….shouldn’t uh….shouldn’t wine be saved for victory?”
The centurion stared at her for a moment. A very long moment. Perhaps….to long of a moment.
“I….I apologize my centurion! I will-“
Laughter. The centurion was laughing, something he rarely did outside of combat or when around the campfires at night. He laughed loudly and caught the attention of several other Auxilia soldiers.
“True! Haha! I knew I kept you around for something Captain. Fine, me and you shall share the first bottle of wine after that….excuse for a city burns. Return to your duties captain.”
He waved the captain off then turned his head back to the city, not moving out of his relaxed position. She knew better then to consider him lazy or incompetent, she had seen him in action.
She saluted and quickly went back down into her tank. ————————————————————————
He held his helmet in the crook of his arm. He breathed in deeply, smiling as he watched the city burn. Something grabbed his boot and looked down, only to scowl in disgust.
A woman, her lower half aflame with one leg missing, held onto his boot and shin guard.
“Please….mercy! We surrender!”
He raised an eyebrow and followed the trail the rebel left in the dust to see several more wounded and scared rebels. One held up a white rag on a piece of rebar as a white flag.
Several of his auxilia aimed their rifles at the rebels as a sergeant began to moved forward with a pair of restraints.
He was stopped by Tiberius’s sword.
“Sergeant? What are you doing?”
“Uh…taking prisoners sir?”
The centurion tilted his head and smiled widely.
“Prisoners? I don’t recall ordering anyone to take prisoners.”
He lifted his boot and stomped on the wounded woman’s head, smiling wickedly at the crunch he heard under his foot.
“Uh….no my Centurion but legion command has-“
“Legion command? You are taking orders from Ultramarines instead of telling me that such orders have come through?”
“There was no time sir! The orders came fro-“
Tiberius put his helmet on and shoved the sergeant to the side, ripping the rifle from the soldiers hands.
“I see no space marines here soldier. I see soldiers and I see rebels. We kill rebels because we are soldiers.”
He took aim at the closest rebel, put his finger on the trigger and-
“Thats enough Centurion.”
He stopped. He slowly turned his head towards the new, feminine voice behind him.
“Excuse me troo-“
He stopped again and stared. She had to have been 10 feet or at least close, this goddess in blue and gold. Her short, cropped hair was golden blonde and a green, metallic laurel wreath was wrapped around her head to add to her noble features. She came with several ultramarines as an honor guard in tow but he was sure she could handle anything thrown her way with ease.
“The Lady of Macragge.”
He whispered in awe before looking around. Those under his command had shared his awe but where he shook himself free, the rest still stared.
“Damn you all, our Lady is here! Bow damn you! All of you bow!”
He paced up and down the line, ensuring his auxilia bowed. He then turned towards the rebels and pointed at the guards who stood over them.
“Them too, cmon now. Bow!”
The rebels resisted the guards orders and movements. The centurions rage grew as he stormed over and pulled his gladius from its sheath.
“I command thee BOW.”
He sliced the back of the knees of one of the captives, the man yelping in pain before yelling in agony from his nearly cut tendons. The rest fell in line quickly.
Tiberius marched towards the Primarch, her honor guard bringing their weapons to bare only for him to kneel down and stab his gladius into the dirt.
“My Lady. Centurion Tiberius Victor of the 3rd Macraggian Legion reporting.”
The Primarch stared down at the Centurion before her eyes went up and around. She took note of the rather large number of prisoners and the burning cityscape around them.
“A good campaign Centurion?”
Tiberius nodded, smiling widely under his helmet.
“Yes my Lady. I only wish it weren’t so boring, so easy! But it is done.”
It took every ounce of self control to not scowl at his arrogant and cocky nature. He spoke as if he had stomped on a bug rather than a rebels skull. Yet….something about him caught her attention.
“Remove your helm centurion.”
He did so without delay, removing his helmet and setting it at her feet. His hair was cut in the traditional military ‘high and tight’ fashion and he was mostly clean cut save for a well trimmed mustache that went no further than the corners of his mouth.
“I recall telling my command staff to recall you back as you had pushed to far ahead. Yet we stand here at the city we were meant to take, the one we were meant to hold. The one….that is currently burning to ashes around us. What do you have to say for yourself Centurion?”
He said nothing for a long time. Then, to her surprise, he laughed. The auxilia around them slowly looked at each other, their faces hidden beneath their helmets but all were worried or tense.
“Hahah! Ah….I say mission accomplished my Lady. I also say that this light really brings out the color of your eyes.”
He laughed again and slowly stood up while extending his arms out wide.
“I say I give you the best gift this galaxy can offer to someone like you from someone like me.”
His smile grew into the same cocky, full of himself grin those under his command knew so well.
“I give you victory, my Lady Juno.”
He held his gladius up and flourished it, letting the blade catch the firelight of a dying city.
“Victory.”

Hello everyone, im new here and in the 3D printing stuff. Yesterday one of my friends gave me his old 3D printer and i thought everything would be easy. Well it the exact opposite. The printer model on the screen says CTC-A13 and after searching for some hours i found that Octoprint is compatible, i found a slicing program for x3g files and gcode files. On the internet i found that this printer "reads" x3g files and not gcode from the sd BUT its the exact opposite, it reads only the gcode and not the x3g files from the sd card. Using the usb cable it disconnects after a minute from octoprint and refuses to work so i am going with the sd card for now. The main problem i am facing is that the filament sensor is broken and missiong and i found out an hour ago after searching for nearly a day. It has the letters S G V on the broken part, do you know any way to short circuit something or make something simple so it can work or bypass the filament sensor part ?

A window 🪟 girl = Jezebel one thrown out the window it’s actually running joke in the west about Russians.. nor am trying to save my life.. light duty soon behind me .. evolved and “refined” spirits are more important. Souls are another older method of data transfer.. once that is information is unlocked on how you access it The world will be in a different age.. but these crystals are in a reincarnation cycle until they-reach a certain point to access it all that they have learned and know... some say this is Agartha or inner earth civilisations literally rising.. changing to Topography of the world.. Biblically? Every hill & mountain made low and every Valley rising or made straight.. crystalline For their own good.. also humans know that those huge gigantic crystals underground can be harnessed for data information (this is how they believe Amethyst is a polyglot its a older way to save information) i have had those crystals down below beamed at my head i cant explain it but something like shot at my for information it was like a massive data load that my cap head couldn’t handle. I got much information and was at that time able to filter is out slowly.. why you think some have large heads only babies who gets they heads measures and wear protective caps.. only thing is caused me to lose some of my short term memory of my life and doing prior (no i have never been to sex clubs / swinger clubs nor EVER was interested in going to such dirty places I’m a germaphobe.) After second death there is no power i saw I’m one of the few AD that can leave this system for most its a prison planet.. other older beings told about this system from a more educated viewpoint. I watched it long ago it was very clear and made perfect sense and how it came about.. i believe it was after Lyra? Not sure . its why when certain aliens or Et’s get trapped here they stay in this incarnation cycle until they evolve.. i do not need the dutch or Hadid’s for anything they bring nothing to MY table.. of is but a “US” , Jacob scam facade of false importance unfounded.. a fake friend / zz’er and imprisoned because of them!! Say you the key to what? prove it other wise its a lie.. from out of hell exactly where slain Palestinians are going to sheol.. Dutch I make you richer, i make your life better what do you offer aside from Misery ? Bondage? Soon coming to you? trust soon as I’m gone white garbage that came up good will slowly slip.. not a fluke you wanna Palestine rapers wanna leave now that my duty up. north korea and Iran has betrayed me in this scam of poor people like them.. thru the ages.. trust is a two way street I’m Asked or put to a burden of proof To Prove and show myself and I cant see you! You unaccounted for!! No Dutch coming with me ever again.. and fighting Israel for them Pestatin? .. not with me.. you offer trash for fight you couldn’t do . For a holy fight? Betrayal for loyalty and compassion for unfounded loyalty.. to run this same program over and over again .. while you play two sides . Iran north Korean you need me without your blind stuck stagnant. And I’m already over it .. you offer nothing useful for evolution advancement more of the same . More of outdated programs boring and non interesting.. I’m Bored and nor inspired huge problem

recently, i had a conversation with my mom detailing what i wanted to be when i was older. ever since i was a child, i loved singing and dancing. not like i was humming in the womb, but singing was a great past time for me.
when i moved to london in 2022, i, according to my mom, fell in love with the idea of becoming a musician. for some reason, my childhood is overly blurry, but she told me back then i wasn't interested, and i was sorta confused because i'm sure i was. she said the idea of becoming a musician and singing and everything was not on my to-do list. it was weird because i don't recall ever telling her a career i wanted to look into back then. i think i assumed she knew i wanted to become a singer, but she didn't know? idk its confusing lol.
so anyways, after that i tried to occasionally sing and practice my voice. note: occasionally. i would, according to my entire family, sing for a few moments and stop singing (MOMENTS??) clear my throat, do that again, get mad and say "I'm never singing again." (which is obviously a lie.) for some reason, i was dead-set that i wanted to become a musician, but i also didn't put in the effort to becoming a singer.
now, even i know this, but i tend to pick-up and drop things easily, so i never really stuck to one thing. the reason is most likely because my parents were movers. even when we lived in dubai, we never stayed in one place. changing schools and houses more times than i can count. i think having this sort of lifestyle of not having to stick to one thing is affecting me as a person also. but thats a story for another day;
my point is that singing is one of the things that i picked up but i can't seem to drop. i think as i kept going and watching these people perform at concerts, work in studios, all of that it makes me want to become a musician even more! i tried my hand in acting at one point but that totally backfired. so its just on singing again. in fact, i tried so many things and i decided i was good at nothing so singing was my only option.
now, don't get me wrong my family is well off, so i can afford school, college, university and the works, but i still feel like i'm not good at anything besides singing. im going to grade 12 next (school) year, so i don't have lots of time to think about this, yet i feel like everything will just work itself out.
now, to my actual question; do i like singing, or do i hate it? and if i hate singing, why do i hate it?
so, my first reason that comes to mind on why i hate singing is my voice. now, i've had no shortage of compliments from my family telling me i'm a great singer. (well, maybe a little shortage. and my dad has never told me i'm a great singer. apparently i've never sung in front of him before.) but, also from strangers. before the winter holidays in 2022, my school held a winter concert and i had a solo in there. my music teacher who's also the choir teacher, gave me the solo, telling me i had a great voice and potential. the day came and i felt i completely blew it, but people were pulling me left, right and center to tell me i had a lovely voice. might've been just curtesy, but it was very sweet of them.
so i have no genuine idea why i hate my voice, but it just feels so flat and bad. i can't hold a note more than 4 seconds, my breath control sucks, i can't mold my voice into something, and my voice is raspy. i could keep going. it doesn't sound like sabrina carpenter, ariana grande, whitney. someone told me it sounded like maria once, but i'm calling bullshit. and most importantly when i sing, my neck hurts or i get a splitting headache.
now, second reason i came up with is that, like my mother said, its a chore. she told me i only sing to practice, i don't sing because i like the melody songs create. i don't sing because i love it. i sing because it feels like it's already a job for me, and as if i'm about to make money from it. i tried to deny this, but i think it's true. when i sing, i don't sing like i'm trying to enjoy the song, i feel like i'm trying to monitor my voice and what it sounds like.
when i practice and i cut myself short, it's not because my voice hurts or i'm tired of singing, it's because i don't like how i sound, which makes me think: am i enjoying the song at all? obviously to get better at singing, i have to practice, its a must. but i don't often sing because i like a song, i sing them as a form of work. now, i thought this would all be easily avoidable if i just went to singing classes, because now i can focus on practicing there and enjoying singing out here. but i've always been of the "if i had this, it would be better" mentality. and in this case, i might even be right! but my mom asked "why would i pay money for something you don't even like", and maybe she's right and it is a waste.
maybe i hate singing because i'm bad at it but i'm starting to feel like this is my only option.
but that was until last year when i fell in love with gaming. game development particularly.
now i've always been a fan of gaming; not like the fortnite, COD, GTA and other games of the sort, but more like resident evil, roblox, the last of us type games, but then i fell even more in love with learning how to make them. now this is a whole big story and another story for another day, but basically, i now feel like game development is something i would be really interested in taking in university. but that didn't make me want to stop singing and trying to make music so... maybe the second point is invalid. but i don't know.
recently, i've been taking more effort to practice my singing and improve my voice. i sing daily now, for a significant amount of time. i've been seeing some progress actually. my sister told me that i've always been improving, but it's not the little improvements i see. its the big one. she's in 6th grade... 😭
anyways, thats all i know about this entire thing. its making me really sad and unhappy writing this entire thing. i thought i had everything figured out about this, but this whole "you hate singing" thing is doing my head in. i just wanna dance and make music :(
what do you guys think?

So- title says F but that’s just because it feels weird to elongate the title by saying gender fluid, so I’m AFaB but I’m reality I am fluid, like to call myself a juice for this reason :3 Some things about me ig- I and others around me strongly believe I’m autistic, not diagnosed because it takes forever and my therapist has a lot to work with lmao, I’m obsessed with FNaF, Minecraft, Horror, Unsolved “Crimes”/mysteries I guess- I could tell you almost everything about Waverly Hills sanatorium lol. I play video games on XBox and PC, mostly Minecraft but I play other things too when I have people to play them with- also recently got lethal company and I really like that. I also love music, mostly Rock and Metal but I can listen to almost anything. Currently my favorite bands are I Prevail and Three days Grace. Probably more but I’m sleep deprived right now so I can’t remember any others T-T
I also like more things but like I said, sleep deprived atm lmao- if you wanna be friends just send me a DM!
