I started inositol approx 2 weeks ago at my doctor's suggestion. I had already been taking daily vitamin D and a basic multivitamin.
How long should I wait before trying to add another supplement to my routine? Inositol hasn't made a noticable difference in energy levels or anything tangible in how I feel, but I did get my period almost on time.

• Do not tell everyone that you’re in the process of taking the LSAT or applying to law school. Trust me, it’ll only add to your stress and pressure. Ofcourse you’ll need the support of people close to you throughout the process but no need to tell all the acquaintances and extended family, surprise them instead.
  
  • Take breaks. seriously cannot emphasize this enough. YOU NEED TO TAKE BREAKS.
  • Even the slightest increase on the LSAT matters. Those couple points can make the whole difference on if you get in or not - or if you will get a scholarship or not. Please do not get lazy with the LSAT or settle for a score worse than your capabilities. You’ve got this. Be consistent!!!!
  • Take weekly or biweekly practice tests but most importantly, THOROUGHLY review them. Why did you get it wrong? Why did you get it right? Why is the correct answer correct? Why are all the other answers wrong? Write it all down or say it out loud. There are hella explanations out there just google them or watch explanation videos. Dissect the fuck out of every question with deep review.
  • Limit all distractions when studying. Get enough sleep, eat well. Look into “deep work/deep learning”
  • If you can, paying for some tutoring might be super worth it.
  • Materials I recommend: 7Sage, Powerscore books, RC hero, Loophole for LR!
  • APPLY EARLY. Idc what anyone says. I saw people who applied early with my stats get A’s at where I was waitlisted. By early I mean Sep-Nov and latest by end of December!
  • Written materials need to be iterated and perfected over time, seriously they can make or break you so perfect the hell out of them and get them reviewed. Start writing a draft in your free time and keep reviewing, editing it over time.
  • Do the “Why X law school” and supplemental diversity statements, and do those optional interviews. Go to those random Zooms and connect with people. Research the programs thoroughly.
  • SHOOT YOUR SHOT. Apply broadly - reaches, targets, safeties. get the funds somehow or get fee waivers, but cast a wide net. apply to enough reaches, enough targets and enough safeties in the locations you would like to live in.
  • if there’s a reach/target you’re super set on, consider ED or Early Action. Every school has different financial aid stuff in regards to ED so def research that more.

I tried running an add where it stated "Photo/Video social media management company, contact now to put your company online" with a professional picture of me pointing out to it, tested the add to a audience 25-60, people that are owners of business pages. I got 2 leads and spent +100 EUR in a week so it did VERY poorly. Clearly I got no idea what I'm doing since I thought this ad was going to kill it. Any tips?

TLDR: https://pobb.in/WvrRzPfxySgj
First of. I league started this build originally as a Guardian going elemental crit using KB of clustering as my trigger skill. Which I hit 100 with just farming Abysses. It was decent until you start adding more quality to the build. Super tanky using Aegis.
Now, after tinkering with the idea of going Necro Unholy Might poison. Balormage beat me to the punch. Anyway, I was already wanting to do this as a bow build using HoAG to support Holy Relic via 2-5L in a 6L setup. That original setup worked for just clearing T16s.
Tried a few T17s and found the build to be extremely squishy compared to the Guardian rocking Aegis with much less investment.
Fast forward to level 98 on the Necro. DROPPED HoAG.
WHY BOW? Feels like it has a higher dps top end with relatively lower investment. Also, Flame dash + Blink arrow is kind of fun to move around with. Can do Flame dash + Momentum to have near HH movement speed.
Clearspeed is very good with a few caveats. May require you to move to a specific spot to retarget the Relics to an enemy nearest you. Like the Temporal Shield guys.
Rain of arrows of Saturation with celestial RoA looks cool. ^Extremely good trigger skill. Plays like a CoC build.
Finally, +1 +2 Bow gives easy access to high level gems without Replica Dragonfang. Opening up the amulet slot to Ashes. 52% is the IDEAL breakpoint to reach giving a Trigger rate of 5. Which is more than enough damage. To reach dot cap.

• HR cooldown breakpoints are 2%, 14%, 30%, 52% and 82%.

The way you POB the character is: 3 Holy Relics * Trigger rate = DPS over 1 second.
Offense:

• Leveling Scaling
• Awakened Added Chaos
• Poison
• Unholy Might
• Wither

Spectres:

• Pale Seraphim (Sometimes dies in T17)
• Spectral Leader + Warcaller (For T16 Clearspeed)

Do not recommend AG until you can solve it not dying in T17.
Defenses:

• Determination + Energised Armour setup
• Lightning Coil
• Elemental Ailment Immunity + 100% Poison Avoidance
• Taste of Hate + Progenesis (Not 100% uptime during bosses)
• 96% Spell Suppress with Lucky
• Glancing Blows. 75/74
• ***Drop Ashes, add enhance, for Amulet with defenses if you need more.

There is still room for improvement but after playing 2 Characters on Holy Relic. I'm done with the build.

• Better bow with +1 +2, Minion Damage, Attack Speed
• Adorned Setup
• Hit level 100 to add 3rd Cluster Jewel Setup for 2 more sockets. Then you can swap to mageblood or tides of time.
• 100% Suppression
• Would recommend Shield variant as it has higher Defense scaling for HC
• Duo Curse setup with Despair

Enjoy my homebrew and let me know if there's anything I'm missing. Or if you try out this build let me know if you like it.
Thank you, GGG for making the base game this league extremely fun. League mechanic aside.

I wear makeup only 1-2 days a week, but I've noticed that my skin feels much softer and more plump on the nights that I do.
My skincare routine is the same on those days. Does makeup just add another layer to lock moisture in or something?

Since I am very interested in MBTI and cognitive functions I find myself studying people I newly meet. So lately I (34, ISFP) matched with a guy (31) on bumble and our conversation just flowed from the beginning. We seem to have a lot in common. Already after the first day he said it would be grist to meet and if I'm keen for a walk and coffee on the weekend. I agreed and we continued texting on WhatsApp. Our date was really nice. We both had so much to talk about and we had lot of fun (even though we were just walking around and sitting in a beer garden later)
Here some facts/observations to guess his type

• He has a relaxed demeanour but he’s very talkative as well
• in texting he seems thoughtful but also uses word plays to underline some sense of humour (e.g. he sent me a selfie with some zinc sunscreen where he looked blue and named himself a Smurf). He doesn't use many emojis. Usually a smiley every third message or something
• He came to our first date 5 minutes early
• He set out date for Saturday on Monday already and there was no doubt that he could or would change or even cancel plans spontaneously
• He often interrupted me when I was talking, but imo only because he wanted to add some own experience or something
• He used to play Tennis since childhood and was among the best 100 in England in the age of under 18 (don't know if this is relevant. thought maybe this could be an indicator for a J type)
• He still plays tennis, goes to gym regularly and likes surfing
• He likes music festivals and mostly listens to electronic music but he also likes Gerry Cinnamon (an acoustic singer with a lot of emotional depth in his lyrics) and Hans Zimmer
• He studied business administration and finished after the bachelors degree (no masters.. P-type thing?)
• He works in private equity as consultant and is a team leader in his company but he says he's not passionate about it, but wanted to study something to be financial free to travel etc.
• He lives by himself
• He goes to office every day. He said if he’s work from home he wouldn’t be very productive
• He likes to go to bars and pubs with his friends
• He’s a foodie. He loves exploring new restaurants and new food. He also likes cooking from time to time
• He was in a relationship of 4 years and told me they wanted to get married (I don’t know the background why they broke up etc) but he moved over to Germany 2 years ago with his company and when he came they were still together but then obviously broke up
• He grew up between London and Oman since his Dad used to work in Oman for a couple of years and guis parents are now retired in Spain, which is maybe a reason why he's so open with change?
• He likes to go on city trips every few months
• In general he likes traveling and when I told him that I’ve been to Hawaii and the Philippines he was very interested in getting to know more, because it's on his list too
• He went to Morocco for a week by himself to go surfing (thought it's more an introversion thing)
• he seems grounded. When he told me that he was among the best 100 under 18 of the UK tennis player he changed the topic quickly and said, he was not that good. Same with surfing. He says he's not that good but liked to get better (obmiouly he's not a show-off)
• He likes a good coffee
• During the first date he already asked for the second date. In between he often said something like ,,oh we could do this one day together". When I told him (was just banter) that I'm pretty good in parts when I'm tipsy he (in the end of the date) said, we could go for the darts on our second date.
• He loves the tv show "the Office" (very humorous I think)
• in general he seems very kind, nice, also dry sense of humour type like me (not this ESFP kind of humour) talkative but not over-exaggerated in their extroversion like ENFP or ESFP (imo)

So fellow ESFJ what do you say? Does this sound like someone of your type?

Quick background: I come from a bodybuilder background. I then struggled with binge eating and put on a significant amount of weight. I started my “healing my relationship with food” journey about 18 months ago (I think). I work with a coach who specialises in helping people heal their relationship with food. Especially coming from the fitness industry.
Progress so far: - decrease in binges and over eating - able to eat more trigger / fear foods - not think about numbers / calories - less food noise
The problem: Initially I could accept my body temporarily, when I first started the journey. Because I could think ok this is my body for right now, but I not accepting that my current body will be my forever body. Now that there has been a prolonged period of time my frustrations with my body image and acceptance has become a lot louder.
I have no problem with different bodies on other people. And by all means I am considered healthy. I still train the same ways I did whilst competing in bodybuilding, but just lower cardio etc. However, for myself, the idea of staying in a body like this for much longer is something I just do not and feel like I cannot accept. I have tried to open myself up to change in preferences but I’ve tried for such a long time. The only change in this is that the body that I would want to maintain is less lean than what I used to maintain but it is still leaner than what I am right now.
I think there’s a fantasy that you can heal your relationship with food/ body and you would have healthy habits and be in a body that you’re confident in and love. But for the most part I think most people end up saying they feel indifferent about their body. That is not something that I want. That’s okay if that’s something you want. But I want to feel confident about my body and not just ‘meh’. Obviously regardless of what size you are, you will have good and bad body image days. But the way I think of good body image and confidence is that you mostly feel good about your body. Currently I feel like I spend more time just avoiding my body or feeling shit about it.
I have voiced to my coach my desire to diet. She is not anti diet, but if choosing to diet needs to align with your values and to do it in a way that is more healthy etc. She said that I need at least 6 weeks of being really solid with my habits, not just eating but also kind of relating to mindset, emotions etc.
I have a lot of other stuff going on in my life that has really hit my confidence. So I really feel like I need this confidence boost from becoming a little leaner.
I will say I also feel like working on your relationship with your food/ body can actually be more disruptive. As in it takes so much energy and if you have other things going on in your life….essentially I feel like it’s just as hard to work on your relationship with food as it is to diet.
Questions: 1. What is everyone’s experiences with accepting your body and body confidence?

1. Have you been able to accept your body even if it’s not your ideal body?
   
2. What are your thoughts on dieting versus continue down this path of trying to get these consistent weeks in?
   
3. Feel free to add in any of your personal experiences and advice relating to this.
   

Appreciate any insights/ advice !! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I'll need to do more testing, but it seems like a few hours ago, the bugs went back to spawning one constellation at a time (instead of the 3 earlier in the week). It doesn't seem to be related to the drop in planetary decay rate, since that had already happened hours before the change to bug patrol spawns.
I also gathered a few numbers if anyone is curious. On difficulty 2, after clearing all bases and objectives, bugs spawn every 20 seconds. And up to 4 constellations will spawn at a time. assuming 7-10 bugs per constellation, I'm thinking the mob cap is 30-35 bugs (on diff2, higher difficulties would be higher). This also means it only takes 80 seconds for the mob cap to fill up.
This also makes me feel a lot more confident that what was going on before was that the spawns were spawning up to the mob cap every trigger. I did some testing at difficulty 3 before the change, and I was getting only one or two spawns for the first half of the mission. But then as I cleared mobs that had started on the map, the number of constellations spawned went back up to 3 at a time (in addition to spawn rate increasing due to clearing bases and objectives).
This all adds up to making the recent patch's 50% more spawn rate in solo games feel a lot more impactful at the end of a match than at the beginning. It seems more important now to not clear objectives until you're done exploring and looting, and then head immediately to extraction. Especially if/when the 3x spawns get brought back.
Another odd thing I discovered. Old patrols are removed at the same time as new patrols are spawned. They also don't have to be at the edge of the map to be "respawned" closer to you, they just have to be far enough away.
Last point, The 50% increase in mob spawns in solo missions would be increasing the fire tornados, volcanos, meteors, and ion storms by 50% on solo missions since they seem to run on the same system.
Has anyone else noticed a change in the past few hours?

(Previous Part)
(Part 001)
Following the end of the two opening and closing arguments, the Great Debate enters a new format. No longer do Phoebe and Neil speak unopposed, but instead they both stand at their respective podiums on the left and right, with Yamir positioned between them.
The Minotaur holds up a microphone and speaks. "People of humanity, today has truly been eye-opening to this humble chef. Mister Adams and Miss Hiro have both revealed shocking and interesting information. Not only has Neil spoken of Threats we will someday face, originating from within our own galaxy as well as more distant ones, but Phoebe has told us that Humanity has lost its Flaw! What this means for the future, I cannot say exactly, but I am certainly interested in hearing more."
The Minotaur turns to look at Neil. "Commander Adams, is it fair to say that your position in this debate is that humanity should split in half for the sake of maintaining a cohesive bloodline and culture? Should they split apart in order to ensure a more 'pure' species takes root in the Milky Way, while allowing demon and monster-lovers to stay here, on Tarus II?"
The corner of Neil's eye flickers while he forces a smile. "There is more to it than that. We are also vulnerable to a single act of destruction! By placing all of humanity on one world, we make it possible for a powerful Cosmic deviant such as Mephisto to annihilate our species in merely one attack! As for leaving humans behind, I would honestly prefer if all humans went to Maiura while leaving the demons behind, but that doesn't seem likely to happen."
"You contradict yourself!" Phoebe exclaims, interjecting without hesitation. "You say humanity should split in order to ensure we cannot fall all at once, but you would also rather all the humans stay together in a mono-culture. Admit the truth, Neil. You're just a bigot who hates demons! I bet you'd even prefer it if our monster allies weren't a part of your perfect and pure society!"
"That is not what I said." Neil answers calmly. "Humans need to stick together in these times. We have a tiny fraction of the population of other Sentients. We cannot risk spreading ourselves out and preventing our population growth from accelerating."
Yamir holds up his hand to politely prevent Phoebe from jumping in. "That is an interesting statement, Commander. But what about Miss Hiro's revelation that humans are potentially a superior species in the genetics department? If humans can indeed somehow impregnate or become impregnated by non-human species while almost always bearing human children, then does this not imply that humans are no longer at risk of going extinct? Why, a single human male could sire hundreds of offspring with non-human females!"
Neil's eye twitches again. He starts to open his mouth, only to pause for half a second. Then he opens it again, but closes it once more, as if struggling to speak the truth within his mind.
All at once, he erupts with anger. "Those will NOT be trueborn humans! They will be bastards born of sin! I don't care what Miss Hiro says, a demon who gives birth to a so-called human will actually be spawning a servant of the devils!"
Countless people in the audience flinch in surprise at Neil's explosive words. Many outright gasp, shocked he would say such words out loud.
Indeed, many humans, especially those loyal to him in the military, hold such views. But the reason they feel expectant toward him is because they believed Neil would make their views more palatable to the masses.
Instead, he does the opposite!
...
All across Tarus II, more than a million humans watching the broadcast recoil from their screens in horror, hearing his clearly xenophobic views made manifest through his wicked lips.
"I can't believe this clown!" One human male civilian says. "Everyone knows Neil doesn't like demons, but who knew the true depths of his hatred?? There are obviously countless evil demons out there, but I'm not gonna listen to this prick while he shits on the good ones like Samantha! She saved my boy from an infection that would've killed him!"
"She helped my husband recover from a broken back." A woman nearby adds. "He fell from a roof and would have been paralyzed for life, but Samantha and Leeroy patched him right up. If the Commander can't even acknowledge the good done by demons like them, how can we trust his judgment?"
A trooper sitting in the same room frowns. "Neil might have gone a little too far, but you can't pretend he's wrong. Humans need to stick together! We need to repopulate!"
"We CAN repopulate! We'll easily make babies with tons of non-humans!"
"Those won't be humans! Like Neil said, they'll be half-breed hellspawn!"
"You're just as bad as him, you bastard! Get the hell out of this bar! We don't want you here!"
...
Phoebe listens to Neil's words, unaware of the outbreak of anti-Neil sentiment across Tarus II, but fully aware that his words absolutely went too far.
Rather than retort or saying anything, Phoebe remains silent, allowing Neil to continue shouting expletives while Yamir's expression turns dimmer and dimmer.
A wise person does not interrupt their enemies when they are making a mistake, Phoebe thinks to herself.
"Commander, are you saying that human children born of demons won't be trueborn humans after all, but half-breed bastards?" Yamir asks.
"That's exactly what I'm saying!" Neil snaps. "How can anyone think differently?! You really expect to take the WORDSMITH at face value? That imbecile has shot humanity in the foot too many times to be believed. How can he possibly know about the long-term effects of cross-breeding with demons? He only fixed the Flaw two weeks ago!"
"And what about humans breeding with monsters, such as Minotaurs, Harpies, and Goblins?" Yamir asks, his eyes suddenly narrowing to slits. "Are our progeny also considered... half-breed filth?"
"I-" Neil starts to say, only to suddenly realize the trap he just fell into. "I... that's not what I meant! Monsters are a valued ally of humanity! They're not the same as demons. Not at all!"
"So you believe that it would be fine if humans were to hatch children with their monstrous comrades?" Yamir asks, pressing the point harder.
"I... well- well of course!" Neil stutters, as sweat begins to build up on his forehead. "Monsters are... they are good friends... NO! God dammit, do you really want to make me say it?!"
Neil's fury explodes once again. "Humans belong with HUMANS! Not demons! Not monsters! Humans belong with their own kind! There, I said it! Does that make you feel better?!"
Yamir, and many other monsters like him, look at Neil with a new set of eyes, suddenly realizing their commander isn't only anti-demon, but anti-monster as well. His explosive words shatter the beliefs of countless humans, making them even angrier as his bigoted words touch upon a reverse scale of anger they never expected to feel on this day.
Many people ball their hands into fists while rage-filled thoughts roll around in their heads.
I can't believe it! Attacking demons is one thing, but the monsters have proven time and time again to be humanity's most loyal allies!
How could the Commander think such thoughts? King Kar gave his life to save humanity! Millions of monsters died during Stormbringer!
My best friend was a HARPIE! That fellow was my brother in arms! I'll never forgive the Commander for this!
Despite his rage-filled words, Neil doesn't lose his rationality. For once, he simply feels that holding back is no longer beneficial.
What does it matter if he enrages half of the humans?
So what if they decide to stay with Phoebe.
Would he really want a bunch of weak-willed demon and monster-lovers to come with him to his idyllic paradise on Maiura?
NO!
Far better for him to keep the humans who hold the values closest to his to come along.
Besides! Neil realizes something extremely important.
Humans aren't just able to breed with non-humans now. They're also able to breed with one another much more easily!
That means a much smaller population of pureblooded humans will be able to increase in number faster and more reliably than before.
So what if half of humanity stays with the First Wordsmith? Those who go along with Neil will be the most loyal, diehard purists of human thought he could ever pray for.
And so, Neil suddenly goes on the offensive...
"Wake up!" Neil barks at the crowd, while turning away from Yamir to ignore him entirely. "Do you disagree with me? Do you truly think these monsters are our friends?! It was a monster ruler, Bahamut, who imprisoned me and countless numbers of you! Bahamut even imprisoned my opponent, Phoebe! Do you really think that just because a tiny portion of monsters and demons have chosen to 'side' with humanity that they can be trusted? I THINK NOT!"
Neil sneers viciously. "These creatures are only pretending to be our allies! When push comes to shove, if the Volgrim attack, or the demons launch a full-scale invasion with the help of their new Archdemon, I would not count on our so-called Monster Allies to stand alongside us! For all we know, many of these monsters could be Volgrim Changelings! Spies sent to keep an eye on us until the time is right!"
Neil's words further enrage the people sympathetic to the demons and monsters, but at the same time they fire up his supporters, making them raise their fists in solidarity!
"Finally!" One soldier exclaims with a huge grin. "The Commander's saying what needs to be said! I'm about sick and goddamn tired of pretending to be friendly with these scaled, feathered, furry freaks!"
"Here, here, brother!" Another soldier adds. "Screw these 'demi' sympathizers! My trigger finger's itching!"
However, as Neil continues to rant, Phoebe's frown deepens. She finally realizes his newfound goal, and this causes her to finally speak up.
"Alright Neil. That is QUITE enough!" Phoebe roars, her voice booming loud enough to actually startle Neil into a momentary lapse of speaking. For some reason, the voice she bellows with doesn't just jolt him into silence, but for a moment, it even frightens him!
Something about her voice hits him with physical force, making the blood in his body roil momentarily. He whips his head to the side to look at her, stunned by this strange... attack?
"I think we've all gotten your point." Phoebe barks. "You want to split humanity? You want to form a coalition of bigots and xenophobes? FINE! Anyone willing to support you, as far as I'm concerned, is not a true human! We're more than violent thugs! We are HUMANS! That means we have compassion! We have love! We have empathy! I will not tolerate your intolerance a moment longer!"
"Compassion, love, empathy?!" Neil shoots back. "You speak of those traits as if they haven't resulted in the weakness that brought us down to our current numbers! It was your spineless husband who nearly brought our species to extinction!"
"My husband is a great man!" Phoebe retorts, shoving Yamir out of the way so she can shove a finger in Neil's face. "His flaws can be fixed with time! He can become smarter! He can become wiser! But you're a fool who is stuck in the past! All you want is to drag us into a never-ending war!"
"Humans thrive in times of danger!" Neil counters, slapping her hand aside. "We are a species with battle baked into our blood! Not a bunch of pathetic, piss-ant pansies! Maybe YOUR ways are holding us back!"
"I'll tell you what's holding us back-!" Phoebe starts to exclaim...
But suddenly, a flash of light erupts in the middle of the stage, catching her and Neil both offguard. They both step backward as that light materializes between them, in front of Yamir.
At that moment, a figure materializes out of thin air, his disposition imposing, and a powerful aura of divine energy rolling off the sword held in his right hand. In his left, a shepherd's staff hangs loosely, while a brilliant golden crown rests atop his head. He wears a white military uniform that appears distinguished and regal at the same time.
"Enough." Hope Hiro says, as his figure comes into focus for the cameras. "Enough from both of you."
Hope looks at Neil with a strange, distant expression. Then he turns his head to look at Phoebe, this time with a faintly empathetic look that shows his appearing here was not an easy decision to make.
The Second Wordsmith turns his attention to the people in the audience.
He lifts the sword in his hands up into the air, revealing its full glory to the people watching from all corners of humanity.
"Humans... are an Apex Species." Hope says slowly. "We are formidable. We are powerful. But we are also vulnerable. We are disorganized, distracted, and disturbed. Look inside yourselves. Is this the Humanity you want the rest of the galaxy to see? A shameful bunch of arguing moneys who can't make up their minds on anything?"
Hope lowers the blade known as Excalibur, but continues to allow its power to permeate outward, bathing the audience in waves of Holy Energy.
"My friend, Neil, has said a lot of things today." Hope says slowly. "Many things that I agreed with, and many that I did not. I cannot in good conscience allow him to slander the good name of our monster allies. Monster King Kar was a close friend of mine. Perhaps even my best friend. At the same time, while I have always held plenty of resentment toward the demons, I cannot go to the extreme lengths Neil has. There are good demons out there. Great demons. Demons I would trust more than some of my fellow humans."
Humanity's second most renowned Hero sighs softly.
"Phoebe has also made some good points. I watched from afar, and honestly, I became a little impressed by her and Jason's plans for a greater humanity. Can you imagine it? Our people... ascending to all become Heroes in their own right? It is a vision of the future I'd dearly like to see."
He smiles for a moment, but then that moment passes, and the smile slips away.
"I have a vision of my own. I have a vision of a united humanity... but different from the one proposed by Phoebe."
This time, Hope lifts up his left arm, revealing the coiled head of a Shepherd's Staff.
"This is the Dominion Rod." Hope says evenly. "It is possessed by the soul of the very first Human Hero. The ancient Hero-King known as Jepthath. And the power he wields is terrifying, indeed."
"Through the power of the Dominion Rod, those who swear fealty to Jepthath can become linked to one another. You have already had your Flaws cured. You will develop different, unique powers over time. But the Dominion Rod can take this future trajectory... and supercharge it!"
Hope's eyes flash with excitement.
"Those who swear fealty can become united in minds, bodies, and souls! We will share our thoughts! We will share our desires! If one of you gains the power to manipulate flames, ALL humans will obtain that power! If a human gains the power to copy a Psion, then ALL humans will obtain that power!"
"Even if not one human gains a new power, we will all share ONE power; the one belonging to Jepthath! We will become as strong as the ancient Titans! We'll have bodies capable of shattering buildings! The strength to move mountains! The speed to do battle with Demon Emperors! Every human will reach the apex of what the mortal world can offer!"
Hope glances at Phoebe for a moment before looking back at the people again.
"What humanity lacks is time. Perhaps, if Phoebe and Jason have their way, some of you, many of you, or even all of you may ascend to become Heroes as strong as Jason and I. But then again, perhaps none of you will! And even if you do, how long will that take?"
"By swearing fealty to Jepthath, we can immediately empower our species! We can gain the capital to stand our ground and make our enemies afraid of crossing us! We won't need to fear deceptions, because our minds will be united. No Changeling will infiltrate us, because our minds will be united! And even if someone succeeds... we can simply crush them like a bug! The other Sentients will no longer be able to trample on our dignity!"
As Hope speaks, the eyes of many humans light up with excitement.
Who wouldn't want to gain incredible strength and speed, especially if it came as easily as the Second Wordsmith claims?
Who wouldn't want to solve the problems plaguing human society just by swearing fealty to an ancient, powerful Hero?
Who wouldn't want to uplift themselves and gain access to a variety of powers as more and more humans manifested their true human powers?
Many people who were outraged at Neil find themselves leaning more toward Hope's proposition.
Many who were ardent followers of Neil also become swayed by Hope's offer. For plenty of soldiers, more strength means more of a chance at becoming powerful enough to protect their friends and families!
While the monster and demon allies of humanity aren't exactly enthralled by an offer that won't benefit them, they do feel that Hope suddenly feels like a less vile alternative to Neil's outright xenophobia. Better for humanity to become capable of protecting itself while staying friends with its demon and monster allies than to turn on them viciously.
Just as Hope is about to hold up the Dominion Rod and ask for his fellow humans to follow his lead...
Foop!
Another figure pops into existence, this time on Phoebe's left.
Jason Hiro!
The First Wordsmith, like his counterpart, watched the proceedings, only now deciding to make his move after seeing his clone break the unspoken rule of not interfering with Neil and Phoebe's debate.
Phoebe jumps in surprise as she feels her husbands hand lightly press against her back. She turns to look at him.
"Jason?"
"It's me." Jason says, smiling at her. "It's really me. I solved the issue... and it seems Hope did too."
Jason looks over Phoebe's head at his clone, who also turns to look at him.
Hope and Jason frown in unison, with Hope immediately becoming annoyed that Jason would show his face, while Jason is equally annoyed he had to make an appearance to even out the power imbalance.
"You just couldn't help yourself, could you?" Jason asks blandly, his voice projecting to the audience without even needing a microphone. "You had to come here and swing your big sword around, let everyone know about your super-duper plan to perfectly solve humanity's problems."
Hope sneers. "At least I have a sword, Jason. I have Excalibur, humanity's mightiest weapon! I have Solomon's Crown, which grants me wisdom beyond anything you can offer. And I have the Dominion Rod, which will allow me to unify our people into an unstoppable force!"
Jason crosses his arms, looking unamused.
"I don't have any of those things, Hope. But I don't need them either. Because I have something you don't..."
He pauses.
"...I have a brain!"
Hope blinks. "Excuse me? Care to repeat that?"
"You tried to fool everyone, but it's too bad I showed up." Jason snaps back. He turns his head to look at the crowd. "Hope told you the truth about the Dominion Rod's power. But what he failed to tell you was the cost of accepting it as your master!"
Thousands of people form invisible question marks over their heads.
The cost of accepting its power? What cost? Many quietly wonder.
"Hope sneakily slipped a portion of the truth into his little speech," Jason explains, "but he downplayed the severity. Didn't you hear what he said? Once you accept the power of the Dominion Rod, you will have to share everything. Your thoughts, your emotions, even your deepest, darkest secrets. And that's not all!"
Hope glowers at Jason as the First Wordsmith continues speaking.
"When you become a servant of Jepthath, you lose ALL your autonomy! If Jepthath so desires, he will be able to control the lot of you like puppets! If he tells you to throw yourselves into a burning star for the 'good of humanity,' that is exactly what you'll have to do. If he tells you to give up your husbands and wives to others he deems more worthy, then THAT is what you'll do! You won't have a say in the matter!"
Jason turns his head to glare cruelly at Hope. "Am I lying, Hope? Do you dare offer a retort?! You tried to sucker people into a free lunch, but anyone with a brain knows power always has a cost!"
Hope squeezes the Dominion Rod tightly, hurting his palm as he exerts his maximum strength onto its handle. "The price is not too steep to pay! Humanity needs power!"
"If people go along with your scheme, they won't even BE humans anymore!" Jason shouts back. "What makes a human, Hope, Neil?! My wife and I believe it is our compassion, our love, and our empathy! But I would go even further! It is our individuality, yet also our ability to sacrifice for the good of others! By becoming a monolith of thought, we would be no better than the Plague, or even the Volgrim! A bunch of drones doing as the Commander Unit demands! That is NOT the humanity I want to see!"
Jason pounds his fist against his palm for emphasis.
"If this debate has shown me one thing, it is that I was painfully naive. I didn't think humanity's differences had grown as big as I now understand they have. But now I see the truth... there are many who want to kill, kill, kill, and there are just as many who wish to spread love and peace! These two factions are fundamentally opposed. We cannot remain united any longer!"
Hope blinks. So does Neil.
"Wait..." Neil says slowly. "Are you implying...?"
"I agree with you, for once, Neil." Jason says authoritatively. "Humanity cannot remain united. In fact, I say it MUST NOT! Through your ignorance and bigotry, you have convinced me of such QUITE thoroughly! How can I stand alongside those who think nothing but vitriolic thoughts towards others who have never treated them badly in the slightest?!"
Jason flashes a look of rage toward the crowd.
"I have heard the truth of the matter spoken through your lips! I heard what many of you whispered when you thought none were listening. There are countless humans among you I do not wish to call my friends any longer."
"So, from this day forward, I declare that humanity should split apart!" Jason roars.
The crowd explodes with shock.
During this entire debate, Jason's wife argued for unity, but at the very end, he swooped in and undermined all of her arguments.
Doesn't he feel that he betrayed and made her look like a fool??
Jason's expression calms down. "While I say that we must split, I do not think two factions is enough. Neil is right about one thing. We are exceptionally vulnerable to a single, coordinated attack! Even if humanity splits to two different worlds, such as Tarus II and Maiura, we are only barely more likely to survive two attacks from Demon Deities, Cosmic Psions, or other frightening monsters."
He turns his entire body to face the crowd, then lifts a finger for emphasis.
"I have a proposition for all of you. Humanity can now breed with non-humans to make more humans. Therefore, the future path we must take is logical. Become many and fill the Milky Way! I have spoken to Demon Deity Melody, ruler of the world of Sharmur. She has taken back control of the planet, and wishes to re-establish a safe haven for humans and demons alike. If any of you wish to join her, you may do so at your leisure!"
Countless humans, especially those who once lived on Sharmur, flash expressions of excitement at one another!
They enjoyed wonderful lives on Sharmur, free of strife, until the Wordsmith took them away. To them, this could not be a better offer, and they immediately decide they would rather stick with a reliable leader like Melody than their fellow humans who have continually dropped the ball.
"But that isn't all!" Jason says. "Do you enjoy living here, on Tarus II? So be it! Stay here, and remain among this community I have built up over the last six years. I promise I will do better in protecting you all, and I will make your stay here even more pleasant than before."
"But what if you align more with Neil's interests? Fine! Go and be with him, or Hope, or wherever you wish. Go to the Labyrinth, or to any other world you prefer. Do not feel obligated to stay here if your bigotry will not allow it. Don't let the door hit your asses on the way out!"
Jason chuckles smugly. "And if you want to go along with Hope's offer? To become a slave of the First Hero? Go ahead! I'm sure nothing bad will come of those who become vassals to that ancient powerhouse. Your lives will definitely be 'smooth sailing'. Hah!"
Jason's mocking tone causes many who still remained interested in Hope's deal to only solidify their plans. Despite hearing the price they might have to pay, they would still rather place their faith in Hope than in Jason, and not much would ever change their minds...
"I have other offers, for those of you who might be interested." Jason continues. "Fairy Queen Blinker has told me the fairies might be interested in re-homing humans who are willing. I also have certain secret places some of you may wish to go to if you want to avoid the upcoming wars entirely. These secluded domains will not be easy for the Volgrim, the Demons, or the Plague to locate. Time will pass quickly inside, and you will live boring but stable lives. For those of you only interested in rearing families, I would recommend this option! In fact, I bet even Hope could recommend a 'special space' of his own!"
Jason and Hope exchange a glance. The Second Wordsmith frowns, realizing Jason must have learned about the existence of the Hall of Heroes. But then again, Hope also knows Jason has his own time-accelerated realm. The two of them are not unique in this regard.
As for the details of their respective realms, neither one knows the exact location of their hidden domains. In that respect, they are both equal...
"So that is that!" Jason concludes. "You're all Sentients. You know who you are! As Humans, you should have the right to make your own decisions. I no longer believe that coddling the lot of you and forcing you into some unified, egalitarian utopia will ever properly work. Better to let you choose the lives you want to live, and reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of those choices. I only pray you won't regret whatever decisions you make."
Jason waves his hand flippantly.
"That is all! I will be opening a cross-species hall for people to apply for their preferred destination. A few weeks from now, we will announce the results, and you can all go to whatever place your heart desires!"
He turns to look at his opponents. "Neil! Hope! Do the two of you have any issues with this decree?"
Both men glare at Jason. Neither one offers a word of retort.
"No." Neil says quietly. "I've gotten what I wanted."
"As have I." Hope says darkly. "Well played, Jason."
The First Wordsmith ignores his clone's snide compliment.
"Then it's settled. I declare this farce of a 'Great Debate' to be over. DISMISSED!"
As Jason speaks the final words that will be broadcast to all his fellow humans, a collective sigh of relief goes up around Tarus II, Maiura, and the other sectors that tuned in to watch.
This day has changed the status quo forever... and only time will tell if it was for the better.

Following the end of the two opening and closing arguments, the Great Debate enters a new format. No longer do Phoebe and Neil speak unopposed, but instead they both stand at their respective podiums on the left and right, with Yamir positioned between them.
The Minotaur holds up a microphone and speaks. "People of humanity, today has truly been eye-opening to this humble chef. Mister Adams and Miss Hiro have both revealed shocking and interesting information. Not only has Neil spoken of Threats we will someday face, originating from within our own galaxy as well as more distant ones, but Phoebe has told us that Humanity has lost its Flaw! What this means for the future, I cannot say exactly, but I am certainly interested in hearing more."
The Minotaur turns to look at Neil. "Commander Adams, is it fair to say that your position in this debate is that humanity should split in half for the sake of maintaining a cohesive bloodline and culture? Should they split apart in order to ensure a more 'pure' species takes root in the Milky Way, while allowing demon and monster-lovers to stay here, on Tarus II?"
The corner of Neil's eye flickers while he forces a smile. "There is more to it than that. We are also vulnerable to a single act of destruction! By placing all of humanity on one world, we make it possible for a powerful Cosmic deviant such as Mephisto to annihilate our species in merely one attack! As for leaving humans behind, I would honestly prefer if all humans went to Maiura while leaving the demons behind, but that doesn't seem likely to happen."
"You contradict yourself!" Phoebe exclaims, interjecting without hesitation. "You say humanity should split in order to ensure we cannot fall all at once, but you would also rather all the humans stay together in a mono-culture. Admit the truth, Neil. You're just a bigot who hates demons! I bet you'd even prefer it if our monster allies weren't a part of your perfect and pure society!"
"That is not what I said." Neil answers calmly. "Humans need to stick together in these times. We have a tiny fraction of the population of other Sentients. We cannot risk spreading ourselves out and preventing our population growth from accelerating."
Yamir holds up his hand to politely prevent Phoebe from jumping in. "That is an interesting statement, Commander. But what about Miss Hiro's revelation that humans are potentially a superior species in the genetics department? If humans can indeed somehow impregnate or become impregnated by non-human species while almost always bearing human children, then does this not imply that humans are no longer at risk of going extinct? Why, a single human male could sire hundreds of offspring with non-human females!"
Neil's eye twitches again. He starts to open his mouth, only to pause for half a second. Then he opens it again, but closes it once more, as if struggling to speak the truth within his mind.
All at once, he erupts with anger. "Those will NOT be trueborn humans! They will be bastards born of sin! I don't care what Miss Hiro says, a demon who gives birth to a so-called human will actually be spawning a servant of the devils!"
Countless people in the audience flinch in surprise at Neil's explosive words. Many outright gasp, shocked he would say such words out loud.
Indeed, many humans, especially those loyal to him in the military, hold such views. But the reason they feel expectant toward him is because they believed Neil would make their views more palatable to the masses.
Instead, he does the opposite!
...
All across Tarus II, more than a million humans watching the broadcast recoil from their screens in horror, hearing his clearly xenophobic views made manifest through his wicked lips.
"I can't believe this clown!" One human male civilian says. "Everyone knows Neil doesn't like demons, but who knew the true depths of his hatred?? There are obviously countless evil demons out there, but I'm not gonna listen to this prick while he shits on the good ones like Samantha! She saved my boy from an infection that would've killed him!"
"She helped my husband recover from a broken back." A woman nearby adds. "He fell from a roof and would have been paralyzed for life, but Samantha and Leeroy patched him right up. If the Commander can't even acknowledge the good done by demons like them, how can we trust his judgment?"
A trooper sitting in the same room frowns. "Neil might have gone a little too far, but you can't pretend he's wrong. Humans need to stick together! We need to repopulate!"
"We CAN repopulate! We'll easily make babies with tons of non-humans!"
"Those won't be humans! Like Neil said, they'll be half-breed hellspawn!"
"You're just as bad as him, you bastard! Get the hell out of this bar! We don't want you here!"
...
Phoebe listens to Neil's words, unaware of the outbreak of anti-Neil sentiment across Tarus II, but fully aware that his words absolutely went too far.
Rather than retort or saying anything, Phoebe remains silent, allowing Neil to continue shouting expletives while Yamir's expression turns dimmer and dimmer.
A wise person does not interrupt their enemies when they are making a mistake, Phoebe thinks to herself.
"Commander, are you saying that human children born of demons won't be trueborn humans after all, but half-breed bastards?" Yamir asks.
"That's exactly what I'm saying!" Neil snaps. "How can anyone think differently?! You really expect to take the WORDSMITH at face value? That imbecile has shot humanity in the foot too many times to be believed. How can he possibly know about the long-term effects of cross-breeding with demons? He only fixed the Flaw two weeks ago!"
"And what about humans breeding with monsters, such as Minotaurs, Harpies, and Goblins?" Yamir asks, his eyes suddenly narrowing to slits. "Are our progeny also considered... half-breed filth?"
"I-" Neil starts to say, only to suddenly realize the trap he just fell into. "I... that's not what I meant! Monsters are a valued ally of humanity! They're not the same as demons. Not at all!"
"So you believe that it would be fine if humans were to hatch children with their monstrous comrades?" Yamir asks, pressing the point harder.
"I... well- well of course!" Neil stutters, as sweat begins to build up on his forehead. "Monsters are... they are good friends... NO! God dammit, do you really want to make me say it?!"
Neil's fury explodes once again. "Humans belong with HUMANS! Not demons! Not monsters! Humans belong with their own kind! There, I said it! Does that make you feel better?!"
Yamir, and many other monsters like him, look at Neil with a new set of eyes, suddenly realizing their commander isn't only anti-demon, but anti-monster as well. His explosive words shatter the beliefs of countless humans, making them even angrier as his bigoted words touch upon a reverse scale of anger they never expected to feel on this day.
Many people ball their hands into fists while rage-filled thoughts roll around in their heads.
I can't believe it! Attacking demons is one thing, but the monsters have proven time and time again to be humanity's most loyal allies!
How could the Commander think such thoughts? King Kar gave his life to save humanity! Millions of monsters died during Stormbringer!
My best friend was a HARPIE! That fellow was my brother in arms! I'll never forgive the Commander for this!
Despite his rage-filled words, Neil doesn't lose his rationality. For once, he simply feels that holding back is no longer beneficial.
What does it matter if he enrages half of the humans?
So what if they decide to stay with Phoebe.
Would he really want a bunch of weak-willed demon and monster-lovers to come with him to his idyllic paradise on Maiura?
NO!
Far better for him to keep the humans who hold the values closest to his to come along.
Besides! Neil realizes something extremely important.
Humans aren't just able to breed with non-humans now. They're also able to breed with one another much more easily!
That means a much smaller population of pureblooded humans will be able to increase in number faster and more reliably than before.
So what if half of humanity stays with the First Wordsmith? Those who go along with Neil will be the most loyal, diehard purists of human thought he could ever pray for.
And so, Neil suddenly goes on the offensive...
"Wake up!" Neil barks at the crowd, while turning away from Yamir to ignore him entirely. "Do you disagree with me? Do you truly think these monsters are our friends?! It was a monster ruler, Bahamut, who imprisoned me and countless numbers of you! Bahamut even imprisoned my opponent, Phoebe! Do you really think that just because a tiny portion of monsters and demons have chosen to 'side' with humanity that they can be trusted? I THINK NOT!"
Neil sneers viciously. "These creatures are only pretending to be our allies! When push comes to shove, if the Volgrim attack, or the demons launch a full-scale invasion with the help of their new Archdemon, I would not count on our so-called Monster Allies to stand alongside us! For all we know, many of these monsters could be Volgrim Changelings! Spies sent to keep an eye on us until the time is right!"
Neil's words further enrage the people sympathetic to the demons and monsters, but at the same time they fire up his supporters, making them raise their fists in solidarity!
"Finally!" One soldier exclaims with a huge grin. "The Commander's saying what needs to be said! I'm about sick and goddamn tired of pretending to be friendly with these scaled, feathered, furry freaks!"
"Here, here, brother!" Another soldier adds. "Screw these 'demi' sympathizers! My trigger finger's itching!"
However, as Neil continues to rant, Phoebe's frown deepens. She finally realizes his newfound goal, and this causes her to finally speak up.
"Alright Neil. That is QUITE enough!" Phoebe roars, her voice booming loud enough to actually startle Neil into a momentary lapse of speaking. For some reason, the voice she bellows with doesn't just jolt him into silence, but for a moment, it even frightens him!
Something about her voice hits him with physical force, making the blood in his body roil momentarily. He whips his head to the side to look at her, stunned by this strange... attack?
"I think we've all gotten your point." Phoebe barks. "You want to split humanity? You want to form a coalition of bigots and xenophobes? FINE! Anyone willing to support you, as far as I'm concerned, is not a true human! We're more than violent thugs! We are HUMANS! That means we have compassion! We have love! We have empathy! I will not tolerate your intolerance a moment longer!"
"Compassion, love, empathy?!" Neil shoots back. "You speak of those traits as if they haven't resulted in the weakness that brought us down to our current numbers! It was your spineless husband who nearly brought our species to extinction!"
"My husband is a great man!" Phoebe retorts, shoving Yamir out of the way so she can shove a finger in Neil's face. "His flaws can be fixed with time! He can become smarter! He can become wiser! But you're a fool who is stuck in the past! All you want is to drag us into a never-ending war!"
"Humans thrive in times of danger!" Neil counters, slapping her hand aside. "We are a species with battle baked into our blood! Not a bunch of pathetic, piss-ant pansies! Maybe YOUR ways are holding us back!"
"I'll tell you what's holding us back-!" Phoebe starts to exclaim...
But suddenly, a flash of light erupts in the middle of the stage, catching her and Neil both offguard. They both step backward as that light materializes between them, in front of Yamir.
At that moment, a figure materializes out of thin air, his disposition imposing, and a powerful aura of divine energy rolling off the sword held in his right hand. In his left, a shepherd's staff hangs loosely, while a brilliant golden crown rests atop his head. He wears a white military uniform that appears distinguished and regal at the same time.
"Enough." Hope Hiro says, as his figure comes into focus for the cameras. "Enough from both of you."
Hope looks at Neil with a strange, distant expression. Then he turns his head to look at Phoebe, this time with a faintly empathetic look that shows his appearing here was not an easy decision to make.
The Second Wordsmith turns his attention to the people in the audience.
He lifts the sword in his hands up into the air, revealing its full glory to the people watching from all corners of humanity.
"Humans... are an Apex Species." Hope says slowly. "We are formidable. We are powerful. But we are also vulnerable. We are disorganized, distracted, and disturbed. Look inside yourselves. Is this the Humanity you want the rest of the galaxy to see? A shameful bunch of arguing moneys who can't make up their minds on anything?"
Hope lowers the blade known as Excalibur, but continues to allow its power to permeate outward, bathing the audience in waves of Holy Energy.
"My friend, Neil, has said a lot of things today." Hope says slowly. "Many things that I agreed with, and many that I did not. I cannot in good conscience allow him to slander the good name of our monster allies. Monster King Kar was a close friend of mine. Perhaps even my best friend. At the same time, while I have always held plenty of resentment toward the demons, I cannot go to the extreme lengths Neil has. There are good demons out there. Great demons. Demons I would trust more than some of my fellow humans."
Humanity's second most renowned Hero sighs softly.
"Phoebe has also made some good points. I watched from afar, and honestly, I became a little impressed by her and Jason's plans for a greater humanity. Can you imagine it? Our people... ascending to all become Heroes in their own right? It is a vision of the future I'd dearly like to see."
He smiles for a moment, but then that moment passes, and the smile slips away.
"I have a vision of my own. I have a vision of a united humanity... but different from the one proposed by Phoebe."
This time, Hope lifts up his left arm, revealing the coiled head of a Shepherd's Staff.
"This is the Dominion Rod." Hope says evenly. "It is possessed by the soul of the very first Human Hero. The ancient Hero-King known as Jepthath. And the power he wields is terrifying, indeed."
"Through the power of the Dominion Rod, those who swear fealty to Jepthath can become linked to one another. You have already had your Flaws cured. You will develop different, unique powers over time. But the Dominion Rod can take this future trajectory... and supercharge it!"
Hope's eyes flash with excitement.
"Those who swear fealty can become united in minds, bodies, and souls! We will share our thoughts! We will share our desires! If one of you gains the power to manipulate flames, ALL humans will obtain that power! If a human gains the power to copy a Psion, then ALL humans will obtain that power!"
"Even if not one human gains a new power, we will all share ONE power; the one belonging to Jepthath! We will become as strong as the ancient Titans! We'll have bodies capable of shattering buildings! The strength to move mountains! The speed to do battle with Demon Emperors! Every human will reach the apex of what the mortal world can offer!"
Hope glances at Phoebe for a moment before looking back at the people again.
"What humanity lacks is time. Perhaps, if Phoebe and Jason have their way, some of you, many of you, or even all of you may ascend to become Heroes as strong as Jason and I. But then again, perhaps none of you will! And even if you do, how long will that take?"
"By swearing fealty to Jepthath, we can immediately empower our species! We can gain the capital to stand our ground and make our enemies afraid of crossing us! We won't need to fear deceptions, because our minds will be united. No Changeling will infiltrate us, because our minds will be united! And even if someone succeeds... we can simply crush them like a bug! The other Sentients will no longer be able to trample on our dignity!"
As Hope speaks, the eyes of many humans light up with excitement.
Who wouldn't want to gain incredible strength and speed, especially if it came as easily as the Second Wordsmith claims?
Who wouldn't want to solve the problems plaguing human society just by swearing fealty to an ancient, powerful Hero?
Who wouldn't want to uplift themselves and gain access to a variety of powers as more and more humans manifested their true human powers?
Many people who were outraged at Neil find themselves leaning more toward Hope's proposition.
Many who were ardent followers of Neil also become swayed by Hope's offer. For plenty of soldiers, more strength means more of a chance at becoming powerful enough to protect their friends and families!
While the monster and demon allies of humanity aren't exactly enthralled by an offer that won't benefit them, they do feel that Hope suddenly feels like a less vile alternative to Neil's outright xenophobia. Better for humanity to become capable of protecting itself while staying friends with its demon and monster allies than to turn on them viciously.
Just as Hope is about to hold up the Dominion Rod and ask for his fellow humans to follow his lead...
Foop!
Another figure pops into existence, this time on Phoebe's left.
Jason Hiro!
The First Wordsmith, like his counterpart, watched the proceedings, only now deciding to make his move after seeing his clone break the unspoken rule of not interfering with Neil and Phoebe's debate.
Phoebe jumps in surprise as she feels her husbands hand lightly press against her back. She turns to look at him.
"Jason?"
"It's me." Jason says, smiling at her. "It's really me. I solved the issue... and it seems Hope did too."
Jason looks over Phoebe's head at his clone, who also turns to look at him.
Hope and Jason frown in unison, with Hope immediately becoming annoyed that Jason would show his face, while Jason is equally annoyed he had to make an appearance to even out the power imbalance.
"You just couldn't help yourself, could you?" Jason asks blandly, his voice projecting to the audience without even needing a microphone. "You had to come here and swing your big sword around, let everyone know about your super-duper plan to perfectly solve humanity's problems."
Hope sneers. "At least I have a sword, Jason. I have Excalibur, humanity's mightiest weapon! I have Solomon's Crown, which grants me wisdom beyond anything you can offer. And I have the Dominion Rod, which will allow me to unify our people into an unstoppable force!"
Jason crosses his arms, looking unamused.
"I don't have any of those things, Hope. But I don't need them either. Because I have something you don't..."

Hope glowers at Jason as the First Wordsmith continues speaking.
"When you become a servant of Jepthath, you lose ALL your autonomy! If Jepthath so desires, he will be able to control the lot of you like puppets! If he tells you to throw yourselves into a burning star for the 'good of humanity,' that is exactly what you'll have to do. If he tells you to give up your husbands and wives to others he deems more worthy, then THAT is what you'll do! You won't have a say in the matter!"
Jason turns his head to glare cruelly at Hope. "Am I lying, Hope? Do you dare offer a retort?! You tried to sucker people into a free lunch, but anyone with a brain knows power always has a cost!"
Hope squeezes the Dominion Rod tightly, hurting his palm as he exerts his maximum strength onto its handle. "The price is not too steep to pay! Humanity needs power!"
"If people go along with your scheme, they won't even BE humans anymore!" Jason shouts back. "What makes a human, Hope, Neil?! My wife and I believe it is our compassion, our love, and our empathy! But I would go even further! It is our individuality, yet also our ability to sacrifice for the good of others! By becoming a monolith of thought, we would be no better than the Plague, or even the Volgrim! A bunch of drones doing as the Commander Unit demands! That is NOT the humanity I want to see!"
Jason pounds his fist against his palm for emphasis.
"If this debate has shown me one thing, it is that I was painfully naive. I didn't think humanity's differences had grown as big as I now understand they have. But now I see the truth... there are many who want to kill, kill, kill, and there are just as many who wish to spread love and peace! These two factions are fundamentally opposed. We cannot remain united any longer!"
Hope blinks. So does Neil.
"Wait..." Neil says slowly. "Are you implying...?"
"I agree with you, for once, Neil." Jason says authoritatively. "Humanity cannot remain united. In fact, I say it MUST NOT! Through your ignorance and bigotry, you have convinced me of such QUITE thoroughly! How can I stand alongside those who think nothing but vitriolic thoughts towards others who have never treated them badly in the slightest?!"
Jason flashes a look of rage toward the crowd.
"I have heard the truth of the matter spoken through your lips! I heard what many of you whispered when you thought none were listening. There are countless humans among you I do not wish to call my friends any longer."
"So, from this day forward, I declare that humanity should split apart!" Jason roars.
The crowd explodes with shock.
During this entire debate, Jason's wife argued for unity, but at the very end, he swooped in and undermined all of her arguments.
Doesn't he feel that he betrayed and made her look like a fool??
Jason's expression calms down. "While I say that we must split, I do not think two factions is enough. Neil is right about one thing. We are exceptionally vulnerable to a single, coordinated attack! Even if humanity splits to two different worlds, such as Tarus II and Maiura, we are only barely more likely to survive two attacks from Demon Deities, Cosmic Psions, or other frightening monsters."
He turns his entire body to face the crowd, then lifts a finger for emphasis.
"I have a proposition for all of you. Humanity can now breed with non-humans to make more humans. Therefore, the future path we must take is logical. Become many and fill the Milky Way! I have spoken to Demon Deity Melody, ruler of the world of Sharmur. She has taken back control of the planet, and wishes to re-establish a safe haven for humans and demons alike. If any of you wish to join her, you may do so at your leisure!"
Countless humans, especially those who once lived on Sharmur, flash expressions of excitement at one another!
They enjoyed wonderful lives on Sharmur, free of strife, until the Wordsmith took them away. To them, this could not be a better offer, and they immediately decide they would rather stick with a reliable leader like Melody than their fellow humans who have continually dropped the ball.
"But that isn't all!" Jason says. "Do you enjoy living here, on Tarus II? So be it! Stay here, and remain among this community I have built up over the last six years. I promise I will do better in protecting you all, and I will make your stay here even more pleasant than before."
"But what if you align more with Neil's interests? Fine! Go and be with him, or Hope, or wherever you wish. Go to the Labyrinth, or to any other world you prefer. Do not feel obligated to stay here if your bigotry will not allow it. Don't let the door hit your asses on the way out!"
Jason chuckles smugly. "And if you want to go along with Hope's offer? To become a slave of the First Hero? Go ahead! I'm sure nothing bad will come of those who become vassals to that ancient powerhouse. Your lives will definitely be 'smooth sailing'. Hah!"
Jason's mocking tone causes many who still remained interested in Hope's deal to only solidify their plans. Despite hearing the price they might have to pay, they would still rather place their faith in Hope than in Jason, and not much would ever change their minds...
"I have other offers, for those of you who might be interested." Jason continues. "Fairy Queen Blinker has told me the fairies might be interested in re-homing humans who are willing. I also have certain secret places some of you may wish to go to if you want to avoid the upcoming wars entirely. These secluded domains will not be easy for the Volgrim, the Demons, or the Plague to locate. Time will pass quickly inside, and you will live boring but stable lives. For those of you only interested in rearing families, I would recommend this option! In fact, I bet even Hope could recommend a 'special space' of his own!"
Jason and Hope exchange a glance. The Second Wordsmith frowns, realizing Jason must have learned about the existence of the Hall of Heroes. But then again, Hope also knows Jason has his own time-accelerated realm. The two of them are not unique in this regard.
As for the details of their respective realms, neither one knows the exact location of their hidden domains. In that respect, they are both equal...
"So that is that!" Jason concludes. "You're all Sentients. You know who you are! As Humans, you should have the right to make your own decisions. I no longer believe that coddling the lot of you and forcing you into some unified, egalitarian utopia will ever properly work. Better to let you choose the lives you want to live, and reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of those choices. I only pray you won't regret whatever decisions you make."
Jason waves his hand flippantly.
"That is all! I will be opening a cross-species hall for people to apply for their preferred destination. A few weeks from now, we will announce the results, and you can all go to whatever place your heart desires!"
He turns to look at his opponents. "Neil! Hope! Do the two of you have any issues with this decree?"
Both men glare at Jason. Neither one offers a word of retort.
"No." Neil says quietly. "I've gotten what I wanted."
"As have I." Hope says darkly. "Well played, Jason."
The First Wordsmith ignores his clone's snide compliment.
"Then it's settled. I declare this farce of a 'Great Debate' to be over. DISMISSED!"
As Jason speaks the final words that will be broadcast to all his fellow humans, a collective sigh of relief goes up around Tarus II, Maiura, and the other sectors that tuned in to watch.
This day has changed the status quo forever... and only time will tell if it was for the better.

Without going into details, my mother is a piece of work. She's committed fraud in various different ways her entire life and has somehow managed to never catch charges.
The situation here is this, my grandfather (her dad) died in December of 2012. My grandparents had a long-standing trust that was established in the 1960s. Within a week of his death, my mother had my grandmother establish a new trust and completely change everything into her name. She convinced her that she needed to remove his name from all their assets and while at it, just add her name on their too so that everything became joint property with my Mom. House, cars, investment accounts, bank accounts, everything immediately became a joint asset with my mother.
From my understanding, once a party on a trust dies, the trust cannot be changed going forward. I know from what my grandmother said (and showed me in the old will) that there were some things to be left to me, which I never received anything.
Any idea from the community what could have happened, and if I should seek a lawyer to fix things? Like, is there basically no way this was legal, or is there a possibility she got away with stealing everything?

Okay so I started working at this company a little over 6 months ago and we do construction. It is usually (25)me, tim,(19) and John(58) We ride to the job in a single cab truck and I ride middle. John sits to the left and smokes his cigarette the entire ride and ash blows everywhere. Me and tim have talked to John about it multiple times and it gets better for a day then he does it again. Me and tim finally report this to our main supervisor. While we were reporting this I also reported how John has been throwing trash and bags out of the window every day riding between jobs. And also left the job for 2 hours one day to go to the grocery store up the road to use the restroom and still got paid for it. The supervisor says we need to just stop complaining. John has been there 4 years and frequently takes the easy task at work. So last week on the way home from the job when arrived at the shop the supervisor was in his truck pulling out to leave and I had clocked out at this point, starts to ask me what is wrong, I was clearly and visibly upset but wasn't saying anything. After he asked about 2-3 times I finally say "I do not have anything to say to you right now" and get in my car and proceed home.
The supervisor then goes to pull behind my car in the employee lot, blocks me in almost completely, and tried to call my phone 5 times in the span of 15 minutes. I sent him a text message that said "I do not want to talk about work on non work hours" and left it at that
The next morning the supervisor brings me, tim, and John into his office and says "so you (me) have a problem with John and don't like him, correct?" I replied, " it's not about liking him, he is doing things that are wrong and illegal" something like that. John instantly denies throwing any trash "not that I recall, only cigarette butts" (as if that isn't littering also) and tim confirms that he did see john throw things out as well.
That goes on for about 5 minutes and then the supervisor looks at me and says "why did you not answer when I was calling you yesterday?" And I replied, "I'm not going to talk to you about work while I'm off the clock" and he replies "you will talk to me about work whenever I want you to" and we go back and forth and I finally said "okay next time you wanna talk after I leave work I'll start a timer on my phone and send it to the payroll lady" and " I feel like your goal in this conversation is to fire me so just go ahead and do it now" and then he told me to leave and I walked out. Didn't say anything else. I called him and apologized later that day for what I said. I go to get my last check, return my time card, and material. After I returned it the supervisor text me "hey, no hard feelings, I'll consider letting you return to work in the next few days."
I text him 3 days after and said "hey, was just wondering if you were going to let me return to work or do I need to begin looking for another job" and he didn't reply.

TLDR: https://pobb.in/WvrRzPfxySgj
First of. I league started this build originally as a Guardian going elemental crit using KB of clustering as my trigger skill. Which I hit 100 with just farming Abysses. It was decent until you start adding more quality to the build. Super tanky using Aegis.
Now, after tinkering with the idea of going Necro Unholy Might poison. Balormage beat me to the punch. Anyway, I was already wanting to do this as a bow build using HoAG to support Holy Relic via 2-5L in a 6L setup. That original setup worked for just clearing T16s.
Tried a few T17s and found the build to be extremely squishy compared to the Guardian rocking Aegis with much less investment.
Fast forward to level 98 on the Necro. DROPPED HoAG.
WHY BOW? Feels like it has a higher dps top end with relatively lower investment. Also, Flame dash + Blink arrow is kind of fun to move around with. Can do Flame dash + Momentum to have near HH movement speed.
Clearspeed is very good with a few caveats. May require you to move to a specific spot to retarget the Relics to an enemy nearest you. Like the Temporal Shield guys.
Rain of arrows of Saturation with celestial RoA looks cool. ^Extremely good trigger skill. Plays like a CoC build.
Finally, +1 +2 Bow gives easy access to high level gems without Replica Dragonfang. Opening up the amulet slot to Ashes. 52% is the IDEAL breakpoint to reach giving a Trigger rate of 5. Which is more than enough damage. To reach dot cap.

• HR cooldown breakpoints are 2%, 14%, 30%, 52% and 82%.

The way you POB the character is: 3 Holy Relics * Trigger rate = DPS over 1 second.
Offense:

• Leveling Scaling
• Awakened Added Chaos
• Poison
• Unholy Might
• Wither

Spectres:

• Pale Seraphim (Sometimes dies in T17)
• Spectral Leader + Warcaller (For T16 Clearspeed)

Do not recommend AG until you can solve it not dying in T17.
Defenses:

• Determination + Energised Armour setup
• Lightning Coil
• Elemental Ailment Immunity + 100% Poison Avoidance
• Taste of Hate + Progenesis (Not 100% uptime during bosses)
• 96% Spell Suppress with Lucky
• Glancing Blows. 75/74
• ***Drop Ashes, add enhance, for Amulet with defenses if you need more.

There is still room for improvement but after playing 2 Characters on Holy Relic. I'm done with the build.

• Better bow with +1 +2, Minion Damage, Attack Speed
• Adorned Setup
• Hit level 100 to add 3rd Cluster Jewel Setup for 2 more sockets. Then you can swap to mageblood or tides of time.
• 100% Suppression
• Would recommend Shield variant as it has higher Defense scaling for HC
• Duo Curse setup with Despair

Enjoy my homebrew and let me know if there's anything I'm missing. Or if you try out this build let me know if you like it.
Thank you, GGG for making the base game this league extremely fun. League mechanic aside.

No, I'm serious. It's no secret that playing solo survivor or killer is detrimentally impacted to an extreme degree this patch, I feel like in over half my games (as killer and solo queue survivor) a survivor will just give up in the first minute or two of the match, usually through going to stage 2 immediately. Personally, I don't understand why these players don't just DC instead of making the game a 3 vs 1, as most of the other players in your game will prefer having a bot to nothing, and the dc penalty is quite low for the first 2 DCs you have a day (and personally I think if you DC more than 2 times a day then you should probably just not play the game as much).
But then I thought about it after watching for a 3rd game in a row of a survivor giving up immediately and making the game a 3 vs 1 at 5 gens. What do hook escape attempts ACTUALLY add to the game? This mechanic has always been flawed, but in the modern state of the game there's really only 2 actually useful purposes for this mechanic to exist. It's whenever either people run slippery meat and luck offerings and there's a solid chance most players in a trial can unhook when they want to, or it's usefulness if there are 2 players remaining and the other survivor is being chased by the killer and cannot unhook you and you happen to kobe on the miniscule chance that you can. When was the last time either situation actually occurred in one of your matches?
New players I see constantly think that attempting to escape off the hook is an effective method of getting back into the game, so it's effectively a noob trap for new players, and detrimentally impacts them. For advanced players, Hook escape attempts are used a "go next" option that isn't a DC to just circumvent the DC Penalty. I've heard BHVR employees say "Well, we can't make survivors stay in the game if they don't want to play", which is true. But then just encourage them to DC instead of giving up in the game? In most situations, I would rather have a teammate who is a bot just to maybe do 1 generator or waste a minute of the killer's time as the killer removes them from the game, as an alternative to just not having a teammate at all because someone went down after 45 seconds to a wraith.
And the worst part is, that I see a decent amount of the community actively defend the mechanic, saying that giving up and screwing over your teammates when they want to play the game is completely justifiable. "Oh, it's a nurse/blight? Give up. Legion game? Not fun to mend, justified giving up. Killer brought 4 slowdown perks? Give up. Survivor teammate took me to a map I didn't like? Give up." Many people who play this game only have a few hours of playtime a day at most, possibly even a few times a week with jobs or educational requirements. If my only experience playing dead by daylight has over half my games where the game is essentially unwinnable after a minute into the match, discounting queue times and such, why would I ever justify queueing up as a solo survivor during my free time? And it's much more common people will give up early than DC and give you a bot teammate who will at least play better than half of my teammates in solo queue.
However, I don't like saying "just remove it" without offering a gameplay alternative that also includes a potential rework. How about If you want unhook attempts to be actually meaningful instead of just removing the feature, instead consider an alternative: players get a maximum of 3 (5 with slippery meat) free unhook attempts per game, but these attempts do not progress the sacrifice rate and you can now attempt to self unhook in stage 2. Then it becomes a secondary resource survivors can attempt to use strategically on the small chance it works rather than used as a "go next" feature. Then it would actually be a skill expressive aspect to the game that a survivor can attempt to utilize to save time for teammates. It would result in scenarios where the killer would hook someone and this person would immediately break off the hook 2 seconds later, but would this really be a game ruining problem like the current system?

Hey y'all, Wafffels here, our group which consists of 5 players (one will be out for three weeks), is looking to add at most two more players to a homebrew campaign. We're currently using roll20, D&Dbeyond and discord to communicate and play. There are a couple homebrewed rules, and both minor and major changes to some classes and subclasses to enhance balance and gameplay (I'm looking at monks' scaling and alchemist artificer). We're also currently two sessions into the campaign, but this next session is probably the best way to enter the campaign as a player! If you're interested at all, please pm me with your discord, or leave a little comment with your discord id! I hope to see some of y'all!!!

3 1/2 weeks and 4.5 pounds down. As you can see, my graphs been a bit up and down but I’m proud to finally touch the 40’s today! I haven’t in a couple years and it feels really good to know that because I stuck with it I got this milestone!

I see a lot of people say they avoid companions like Astarion or Minthara because they're playing "good" characters and I'd just like to add my two cents here. I think there is "good" and there is "righteous" . To me the definition of good is to treat everyone like a person despite what they are or what they say. It's pretty easy to see what I mean when we look at some of the dialog choices we have for Astarion. When he comes to the player to talk about what the others may taste like we get options like : "Hurt them and I'll kill you , no hesitation. " Is that something a good person would say or a richeous one? This is to be said to a companion we have in our camp, one who we've agreed to let in our camp. If you don't trust him at all why let him near you in the first place? At every corner with Astarion's interactions there is the possibility to threaten him - even when you agree to give him blood that itself can come with a threat or worse. Astarion himself is not a good person, Minthara is not either but when I play a good character I am one so I wouldn't just go threatening people. Another thing for me was when I had to tell Astarion what to eat. In my mind I met this person a week ago, why the fuck do I get to tell him what to eat? If someone I knew for a week came and told me what I can eat I'd tell them exactly where they can go. He said no innocents and that's all a good person could hope for really because the moment you go "drinking from people is wrong " or "He can live on animals " is getting very close to righteous territory. Those are your views and beliefs you're trying to impose on another person. Of course you can always roleplay someone who thinks themselves good but are more self-righteous or whatever but to me if I want to play a true good character that always involves treating everyone well and with respect.

​
"Sony Pictures Entertainment and the private equity giant Apollo Global Management have formally expressed interest in acquiring Paramount for roughly $26 billion, according to two people familiar with the matter, a move that adds drama to an already chaotic deal making process.
The nonbinding expression of interest, sent in a letter this week, comes as Paramount approaches an agreed-upon Friday deadline for the expiration of an exclusive negotiating period with Skydance, a Hollywood studio run by the tech scion David Ellison. Paramount has been in talks with Skydance for months, discussing a complicated transaction that would involve a merger and an investment from the private equity firm Redbird Capital Partners.
The new, joint expression of interest would make Sony a significant majority and controlling shareholder and Apollo a minority shareholder. The proposed all-cash acquisition may appeal to Paramount shareholders who have come out against the Skydance deal over concerns it benefits the company’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone at the expense of other."

Good afternoon, I use to be an athletic bodybuilder in high school when I was a male. 6 six pack, 3d pecs and all. I started transitioning a year and a half ago. While I’m completely cute passing, and seem to get some attention from men. My upper lean muscle is still apparent. After doing some research, and from past experience in losing weight and muscle. I have devised regarding a calorie deficit. Essentially, the goal is to consume less protein which would give my muscle something to feed on. Instead I will be eating as much as carbs as I can get to keep me full and energized. Before school, I eat a bowl of oatmeal with almond milk and a banana which adds up to 430 calories. After classes are over, I hit the gym doing intense one hour treadmill sessions at jogging speed. My goal is burn at least 1000 calories. Throughout the day I only drink water and coffee. At around 4:30 pm I head to work. It is a job that requires me to constantly be moving which ends up burning more calories. Shift ends at 1am in the morning. I go home, sleep, wake up at 6am and repeat. I feel like shit, but I know it’s better my femininity and passability. I have been doing this for a week, and went from 155 pounds to 152. I plan on doing a picture comparison of my torso after 3 months in a part 2.
