2024.05.02 17:20 retromafia How much range do YOU actually need?
Imagine there being EV chargers everywhere there's a gas station, plus you can charge at home and work and other places, and charger reliability is very high. Considering all that, how much range do you (not people in general...you) think you actually need in an EV?
The reason I ask is that I know a lot of folks have different commutes and live differently than I do, so I'm curious if we will start to see smaller, cheaper, and lower-kWh cars coiming out as the infrastructure gets better and better. Or if ~250 miles will remain kind of the lower bound of mainstream vehicles like it is today.

2024.05.02 17:17 RanToTur not the system’s advantages, but America is sick
 | Many people have watched the American TV series "24". The patriotic agent Jack Bauer never hesitates or shows mercy to terrorists. He fights when he should and kills when he should. He does it as painfully as he can, and as quickly as he can. He is invincible and the whole TV series is exciting. submitted by RanToTur to ReallyAmerican [link] [comments] Jack Bauer also has a less famous anti-terrorism drama "Designated Survivor", which tells the story of terrorists attacking the US Congress. Politicians are wiped out, but jack, who serves as the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, survives by chance. According to the order of succession, he becomes the President of the United States. As a president, it is impossible to fight on the front line like in the "24" series, so "Survivor" is more of a literary drama, focusing on the political operation of the United States and its ethical and moral conflicts. One episode is about terrorists hiding in a bunker and threatening to use sarin gas. President Jack decides to send troops to bomb the bunker. But the female lawyer sued the government on the grounds that the terrorists are American citizens and the law prohibits the US military from firing on American citizens. Then the government legal affairs said that sarin gas will kill many people, the situation is critical, and special matters should be handled specially. The female lawyer said, no, the president's failure to abide by the law is more harmful. When I was young, I definitely thought the female lawyer was right. The rule of law is the foundation of the country, but now I think what the female lawyer said is bullshit. The rule of law protects people. If the law cannot protect people from terrorist attacks, then it is a failure of the rule of law. Bad guys can break the law, and chemical weapons are used, but good guys have to go to court to explain why they want to blow up bad guys. This is not the rule of law, but a joke. There are many political dramas and legal dramas of this kind, so you can understand what the American-hating party in Columbia University is like. They do not condemn Hamas's massacre of Israelis, they call the rape of Israeli women a just resistance, because they are wholeheartedly against the US government, and they are self-intoxicated and self-moved from their position of opposing the government. Columbia college students curse Israel as a colonizer, but forget that they are standing on Indian land. Columbia international students curse the United States as imperialism, but they want to stay in the United States to study, work and live. Columbia students are using rights that Hamas will never give them to support Hamas, and are using the freedoms granted by the US Constitution to subvert the United States. Secretary of State Blinken said this is the institutional advantage of the United States. No, this is a loophole in the US system, and this loophole is being exploited by bad people. The US is very powerful, but it is declining. The fundamental reason for its decline is that there is too much democracy, too little dictatorship, too much freedom, and too little restraint. The US has not fulfilled its responsibility to grasp the direction of public opinion, and has allowed various cults and extremism to erode the minds of young people. This responsibility mainly lies with the Democratic Party. The US government is arrogant to the outside world and gloomy to the inside. This is a sign of illness. if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? There are so many demons and monsters stirring up trouble in Columbia University, let alone the whole United States? If you can't even handle the tents on a university campus, how can you lead the world to overcome difficulties? The US is sick, everyone knows, but where is the medicine? |

2024.05.02 17:15 DreamandLife 27 [M4F] NYC - Introvert wants to grow with someone
I don’t like using dating apps because they all seem uncomfortable to me. I’ve failed at using them and I’ve also failed at attempting to approach dating in real life. Part of the reason why I failed so much is because I never been in a relationship in all my life. I’ve also lacked real life friends. I always get stuck talking to people who don’t match my personality or interest and ghost me when I tell them more about myself. That’s probably why I don’t open up more to people. I’m afraid of the outcome. I’m not perfect and unfortunately people strive for perfection. I’ve always put in the effort and truly want to experience loving someone. I’ve always wanted to experience the silly moments. I’ve always wanted to enjoy company with someone where I can put overthinking aside. I’m someone who enjoys moments of quiet without expecting someone to talk to me. I believe being comfortable is key to having good communication. I know saying all of this is meaningless for some because preferences is key but that’s just how I’ve been thinking lately. I will treat this like my journal.
My life a years ago while suffering through depression and anxiety affected me greatly. I’ve been dealing with negative energy which caused me to be unestablished with life with no type of motivational goals. I was extremely over weight laying in bed all day doing nothing but playing games. My family had put a lot of their problems on me and I was usually the scapegoat for their narcissistic traits. Regardless, I am still grateful because my life could have been worse.
My life now changed a lot. Currently I’m finishing up my first year in college studying for a technology degree. I’ve always wanted to experience college and I also wanted to have a good future with a degree that can open up multiple opportunities for me. I’ve also lost a significant amount of weight. I don’t have the “ideal” body that most look for but I’ve been feeling better for myself recently which is all I need. Self care plays a major role in changing my wellbeing. I picked up some new hobbies a long the way. Ive been fascinated with aquariums and aquascaping. I’ve been in love with nature and everything to do with it. I’ve also started watching more shows and movies.
If you’ve reached the end, I appreciate you giving the time to even read this. I don’t like sharing my name randomly but you can call me Ken for now. I’m willing to show my picture so don’t be afraid to ask. My height is 5’9, I’m a black American with a light skin complexion. I wear glasses, I don’t have any tattoos, I don’t have any piercings, I don’t smoke or do drugs, I drink on special occasions but would be nice to finally have someone to casually drink with, I normally dress presentable, I smile a lot and tend to be silly, I don’t mind any humor. I lean more to be extremely introverted which gave me my shy and awkward traits, I am respectful and treat people how I want to be treated. I love to game, watch streams, watch YouTube, watch anime and read manga. When I’m not too focused on college I tend to do them more. I don’t mind going out which is something I would love to get more comfortable with. I’m always willing to try new hobbies.
All that I can ask from you is to be patient with me. Most importantly, JUST BE YOU. Besides interest being the most important thing when it comes to connecting, I would appreciate someone closer to me in NYC or train distance. I will consider other distance if the connection is right. I tend to stick to one person than multiple people at one time. I want to be able to understand you how you would understand me. So please, to avoid certain spams, can you tell me about yourself just like how I did in this post of mine. Thank you.

2024.05.02 17:15 Slay_That_Spire Disrupter Mimikyu Concept
Hi y'all, one of my favorite parts of this game is getting good at "unpopular" builds. I see a lot of comments in this sub when Mimikyu is the relevant topic about stuff like "what does trick room even do?" and "I don't think I've ever seen anyone even use trick room!"
Let me just say, Trick Room is SO MUCH FUN! However, you have to play in a way completely different than how you would with Shadow Sneak.
Using Trick Room, you are playing Mimikyu as a disrupter. If you are unfamiliar with what a disrupter is, its the role given to a character whose job it is to be annoying, a distraction, and gives your teammates openings to melt the enemy team. Think Sableye, Greedent, Mr. Mime.
What does Trick Room do?! In simple terms, here is what it does:
My held item preferences:
With this build, you are not some huge damage dealing assassin such as the Shadow Sneak build. Think of it as a pseudo support/attacker build. You are focusing on being a disruptor with nice, consistent damage. You are NOT the star player getting 20 kills. You are the distraction so your star player can get those kills instead.

What does Trick Room do?! In simple terms, here is what it does:
- You create a huge zone where all slows put on you get reversed. Every slow turns into a speed boost (nearly every character has some sort of soft cc slow built into their kit)
- think of it as a zone in which YOU GET UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF EJECT BUTTON USES! (not saying you have to have eject button equipped, just saying that is the effect of what happens)
- you get a 50% reduction of all incoming damage as long as you are in your trick room and the enemy is outside the trick room
- You are nearly ALWAYS in trick room uptime. You only have about 2 seconds in between uses. Very useful to always have it up.
- You are the front line distractor. Set up trick room over your team and just in front of the enemy team. Don't place it over the enemy team because you want to ensure that the enemy team's backline damage dealers are only doing 50% damage against you (if they can hit you lol)
- Completely abuse the unlimited uses of eject buttons. When you are ejecting every second to a new position, enemy players get incredibly confused and do not know how to aim successfully at you. The enemy team gets frustrated, focuses on you, and wastes their CC on you. In the meantime, your teammates are free to melt the enemy team.
- However, you aren't powerless. Once the distraction wears off, Shadow Claw does some nasty damage on an incredibly short cooldown.
- Eject, Shadow claw, basic attack, eject, shadow claw, eject, basic attack, shadow claw, eject, basic attack, etc. You get the point by now.
My held item preferences:
- Razor Claw: phenomenal since shadow claw cooldown is so short
- Attack weight: the extra attack really makes a difference in how nasty shadow claw becomes
- Resonant Guard: I like this moment of defense because it procs often and gives you some extra bulk, which is needed since you will position yourself on the front line often. The healing from Shadow Claw is great, but its not enough on its own to last forever. Resonant Guard helps that a lot!
- Full Heal: In trick room, you are so incredibly agile and immune to all slows. However, you can still get caught by hard CC. This helps get you out of sticky situations
- Xspeed: I personally prefer Xspeed as it helps guarantee that I get my stacks in early game which helps me snowball down the road. Also, it lets me traverse the map quickly to get to objectives when needed. Eject button is not needed since you get unlimited eject buttons already in trick room.
With this build, you are not some huge damage dealing assassin such as the Shadow Sneak build. Think of it as a pseudo support/attacker build. You are focusing on being a disruptor with nice, consistent damage. You are NOT the star player getting 20 kills. You are the distraction so your star player can get those kills instead.

Every post and comment I see is either spreading misinformation or fear mongering. Here is why.
Here is a really nice technical article I found helpful: Why anti cheat needs to be in kernel space
submitted by PsychoPflanze to riotgames [link] [comments]
- Vanguard should not be allowed to have more permissions than you!
- You can't trust Riot Games, they are owned by a Chinese company and their law requires them to send data to China!
- Vanguard is a security risk and can be exploited by hackers!
- Vanguard doesn't actually work against cheats!
- But the only good way to protect against cheats is server-side anti cheat!
- What if they just track player statistics and ban based off of that?
- Closing

2024.05.02 17:14 omgstopbeingrude Where to find authors to commission to finish my work?
So I've got a few fics that are all mapped out but life has been hitting me like a truck in an isekai and I can only handle one at the moment. It's been two years since I last updated a few of them and I feel really guilty for "abandoning" them.
How do y'all recommend finding someone to commission to finish your fics for you? I want to give them full credit for every chapter they write so I'll put dual ownership on the fic and I'll be sure to link my readers to the author's page, but it's just bugging me that my work is incomplete. At this point I'd rather just give someone else the skeleton and see it finished, even if I'm not the one to do it.
I know some people have a rate; like 500-1500 words = $XX but I also wanna price it fairly. Any recommendations on how to do that? Thanks.

2024.05.02 17:13 RestlessDreamer32 This "bear vs man" debate shows how wildly out of touch most women are with reality.
I know the "crazies" are loudest online, but I have only seen a small handful of sensible comments by women about this. The rest are like "RA RA MEN BAD N DANGEROUS!" without even thinking about what they're saying. Even if you ask women in person about it, most will tell you that your average male is more dangerous out the two. Unfortunately this is the "topic of the day" with women at my work who wouldn't stop talking about it because it's the new fad.
Despite what women on the internet want you to believe, the overwhelming majority of men aren't rapists and/or murderers, so women are putting a blanket label on all men that they're the worst case scenario.
Bears on the other hand, it really depends on what type of bear you're dealing with, but this "bear vs man" debate is an encounter in proximity to either or. Black bears will get easily spooked, but can still seriously fxck you up if you fail to scare it away. They are opportunists you should never underestimate. For brown bears, they are VERY territorial and are bigger & stronger. Your best bet is to play dead and pray it's not in a "playful" mood. Unless you're lucky enough to get a charging bluff to scare you off, they will absolutely shred you to pieces until dead, and they are VERY fast. Your odds of getting away are slim. For polar bears, there's really not much hope for you to survive. They're one of the largest territorial predators on earth and usually go for extended periods between feedings, so if you're in proximity to one it's usually mad and hungry. They don't hesitate like other bears may, and you'll get no charging bluffs to scare you away. They can weigh up to ten times more than your average human and their jaws can snap your bones like nothing. While they are one of the lesser common bears to encounter, most common being black, you will be the luckiest person on the planet to survive an encounter with one. I will also specify that these species have no qualms about eating you while you're alive.
So when you are in the territorial proximity of a bear, especially as a woman that is naturally smaller and more frail, they will absolutely be worse to encounter than your average male in the woods. I have been both a victim of rape & sexual assault. I have also had someone literally attempt to murder me. I would take the average male any day of the week over what a bear could do to me.
These women are so wildly out of touch with reality that it's beyond laughable.

2024.05.02 17:11 disgruntled_DIL how much notice do you require before out of town in-laws visit?
i’m a bit frustrated at the moment. my in-laws live about 50 hours away. the past couple of visits they drove.
a couple of weeks ago, my husband asked his parents to give us several weeks notice so we can plan ahead with work (we both have full-time jobs and it is busy now) and as a courtesy since they’ve previously notified us only when they’re almost here. they said in response, “oh, you don’t need to take time off from work, but we are nowhere near ready to travel now.” they were working on some projects, so it sounded like they weren’t getting on the road soon.
side note: the first time they drove here they didn’t notify us until they were almost here (a couple of hours away). before this, they knew the specific week my sister and BIL were visiting us. well, MIL and FIL ended up here an hour after sister and BIL left, and they stayed for a week. because they didn’t tell us specific dates ahead of time, we were unable to take off from work then. i WFH and it wasn’t desirable. i’m not interested in having in-home in-law visitors while working again.
now fast forward two weeks since husband talked to his parents, we received a package in the mail for MIL from one of her friends. they must’ve visited this friend along their trip and left a piece of clothing. the friend mailed it to us, which was a surprise to receive since my husband hasn’t spoken with them since that last phone call.
since they have property/family a few states away, they’re currently working on a project there. we only know this because my husband tried to contact them after receiving the package but couldn’t reach them. he then reached out to a sibling to see if they knew where they were and found out that tidbit.
considering all other visitors, no one in my family does this and none of our friends notify us last minute when they want to visit us. in general, we ask each other when is a good time and plan months in advance since we don’t live close to each other. this allows everyone to plan family/quality time around specific dates if they’d like or when possible.
anyway, i’m willing to bet they won’t contact us until a couple of days ahead of their arrival at this rate. what they don’t know is i’m sick and so is our toddler, so it is not a good time for visitors.
i’m really appalled at the lack of communication and consideration, especially since my husband just asked for several weeks notice. if they’re here to visit us, we definitely prefer to plan ahead. i don’t like feeling like they could be here any moment, especially when sick. however, i feel like i might be expecting too much of a notice from them.
so reddit, how much notice do you receive/expect from out of town guests? am i being unreasonable in my expectations (several weeks notice)? how to handle this situation respectfully?

2024.05.02 17:11 ABearCalledTank Boomer Acts Like Romeo
I have a funny story for you all.
This was in early 2016 on the Gulf Coast. I had just bought myself my first motorcycle. I lived on the 2nd floor of an apartment complex. Boomer lived in the first floor and also had a motorcycle. We got to talking about motorcycles and eventually he asked if I'd like to go riding with him sometime. Sure, why not. We go on a ride and its all good.
The next weekend, my girlfriend who lived with me comes giggling into our room calling for Juliet. I'm confused and she tells me my Romeo is calling for me. I peek through the blinds and there is the Boomer on his jazzy scooter in the parking lot below my balcony calling for me using a cute nickname version of my name. He began to do this on a regular basis anytime he wanted to go on a ride with me. He had my contact info but chose this method every time.
My now wife and I bring it up every now and again for a laugh. We don't know what he is up to or how he is doing now as we moved far away 2 years later for work/school.
That's it. That's the story.

I peek through the blinds and there is the Boomer on his jazzy scooter in the parking lot below my balcony calling for me using a cute nickname version of my name. He began to do this on a regular basis anytime he wanted to go on a ride with me. He had my contact info but chose this method every time.
My now wife and I bring it up every now and again for a laugh. We don't know what he is up to or how he is doing now as we moved far away 2 years later for work/school.
That's it. That's the story.
2024.05.02 17:10 crize08 Buying a “vacation home” as your first home?
I’ll preface this by saying: My fiancé [30] and I [30] are no where near ready to buy a home yet. I still have a lot of debt / student loans to pay off within the next year, and we are planning a wedding abroad for October 2025. Potentially we will start seriously looking in 2026.
We live in the second highest cost of living area in the US. You can’t get anything under half a million— and those are the houses that have been boarded up due to hurricane flooding from years ago. Aka it’s going to be practically impossible to find something affordable that’s move in ready or won’t need complete tear down.
There are a couple of communities with summer cottages. Open from April to October. Houses are under $200k some even under $100k. I believe one of the communities allows short term rentals as well.
I see a couple of issues with this: If we invest in this property, do we ever have equity to pull from to buy a real house later? I know to get a HELOCs it must be a primary residence. Or would we have to rely on rental income?
Are there any mortgages that would could qualify for? Google wasn’t really helpful in this respect. They mostly suggested using a HELOC to purchase a summer home. — which we obviously don’t qualify for. We could potentially pull a loan from our Roth 401ks and pay cash for the property.
Where would we live October - April? Or if we rented out short term? Currently I still live with my mom. My fiancé is here 5 days a week. The other days he stays at his apartment with his little sister. We could either stay with my mom or rent a month to month. As long as we could afford both. —If we stay at his currently place it would be very doable. And if his sister took over paying rent during the summer months, when she would be home from college anyway, it could work. We would actually be cutting some costs as we wouldn’t need a storage unit anymore.
After typing this all out, it seems like a ridiculous, convoluted pipe dream. But I’d still like to hear others thoughts.
I just don’t know how we will ever realistically buy a house here.
We’ve talked about moving to other states, but we would be very far away from our entire family. Which would be difficult when we decided to start a family.
We currently both work from home, but moving could limit our chances for promotions / other roles in the company. I also would have to look into how our taxes / health insurance would be affected in other states.
And not to be old school, but we are also an interracial couple. Moving to certain states, namely cheaper red states, could affect our quality of life.
TLDR: Would buying a cheaper seasonal vacation home as your first home make sense financially speaking?

2024.05.02 17:09 bruised_fruit2 AITA for getting upset when my bf interrupts me?
Hello everyone, so what I’m going to be talking about is just one situation, but this kind of thing happens often. If anyone needs more info to give their opinion just ask and I’ll be happy to give it!
So this morning, my boyfriend (19M) and I (18F) were driving to school. We have been dating for about a year now. We were just talking like usual and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I had brought up a new job I was looking at and how the hours seems to be weird. While I was explaining how I think the job expects you to open and close he completely interrupts me and says “they don’t.” I was not done talking but it made me feel like he just wanted me to be done. I go silent for a second and say “I wasn’t done talking”, I didn’t say it in a rude way, rather tried to say it in an extra calm way as I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea. He then says “wow ok I won’t give my advice next time then.” I was taken back bc he sounded very annoyed and like he was completely fed up with me. I said “I just wasn’t done talking that’s not what I meant. I had more to say” and he continues in a very annoyed/angry tone and says “oh so it’s ok when you do it but not me?” At this point I go quiet, I have never realized myself doing this before and if I had it has never been an issue/ he has never brought it up. Of course if he did I would stop, but I have not noticed myself doing this. Now I’m here sitting in class and wondering if I was wrong and should have just taken his advice. The rest of what I was going to say was probably just rambling and he could have known/assumed that.
I know this is just one situation but he does this a lot and constantly gets defensive or upset when my feelings are hurt about something he said/did…. Thank you for your advice! Feel free to comment for more info too
Tl;dr - am I wrong for feeling upset when my bf gets annoyed/defensive when I try to say something he did/said made me upset

2024.05.02 17:09 Big-Needleworker335 Walls are closing in
— It is 7:37 PM on a Tuesday evening. My Grandmother (Mimi) has just been pronounced deceased. I remember every single detail, down to the pattern of the quilt on the bed. I wish I didn’t. — It is roughly 3 months later. I am at work. I am on the phone with a client who won’t shut up about something trivial. My personal cell lights up with an unfamiliar number, but the number is from a town close to my hometown, and I’ve moved two states away. It lights up again. The client finally relents. I return the call. It is my Sister’s boyfriend. He is crying. He hasnt said anything coherent, but I start to cry because I somehow know what he’s going to say. I’m right. She’s gone. I don’t remember anything after that. — My Mom is on the phone with me. She’s just told me she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She is scared. Right then, in that moment, I decide to move back to Texas. I call my realtor and begin the process of figuring out how to cancel buying a house that is halfway built. I don’t even ask my husband— I tell him I have to go back. We fight for weeks but in my mind, I have no other alternative. — I am holding my Mom’s hand, begging her to come back to me. She did not die peacefully. Again, I remember every fucking minute detail, down to the strange coppery scent of the blood she vomited up before she died. The sound coming from my own mother. The helplessness I felt. The guilt of a thousand missed I-love-yous that couldve been said. The stress of having to run off several people that tried to steal her belongings, the day of her passing. The worry about my little brother who no longer had any parents. — It is August. I’ve somehow managed to get another job, bought a house in Dallas, signed the custody papers for my little brother, and enrolled him in school. I’m on my way to work when my older brother calls me. The conversation is a relatively short one, but his cancer has returned, and it’s in his lungs. His fight is the shortest one yet. Only two months separate that phone call from his funeral. I am now the oldest of my siblings, and only 1 of 2 left. I miss his laugh. I miss his hugs. Goddamnit I miss my brother’s hugs. — Two years have gone by. Covid has come and gone- or at least the world is collectively pretending it is. It claimed my old job, a few other distant family members, and my coworker. At work she went by Bill, but she wanted to go by Piper, our favorite tv character from an old show we bonded over. She was frequently made fun of at work— it is texas, after all, and she hadn’t fully transitioned yet. She had a literal wall of those funko pop doll thingies. I still miss her quips. — I have just filed chapter 13 bankruptcy. After I lost my job, I kind of… broke. I freak out in places like walmart or on the road. My husband is keeping things going somewhat, as far as taking care of my little brother. But he doesn’t have a job, and insists on utilizing my grandmother’s trust that she set up for me. I want to save it for when we have kids. He says we probably won’t have any. I suddenly see him in a different light. —
I’m sorry about the weird narrative setup of this post. I’ve never made one before, and I’m the type that if I backspace too much, I’ll end up letting out a giant sigh and deleting the whole thing. So here you go world.

2024.05.02 17:08 FBIHasEnteredTheChat This post is meant respectfully, but why is Beomulf casting so much? Genuinely confused
Hey all
I tweeted this at ESL and got no answer, but it's genuinely confusing.
Why is Beomulf getting so much casting time? He casts every Sunday -- usually the biggest days of the week -- and he's casting a lot of the playoffs.
As far as casters go, there's really no contention that he's the most inexperienced and the one with the least chemistry with the rest of the casters (he's extremely new to the pro casting scene).
I have nothing against his casting overall - but listening to him cast with one of the seasoned pros is a constant reminder of how little they know him and how new to the scene he is - and frankly, I'm not sure what he's supposed to be bringing that makes him a worthy replacement for the others who've been here for (some) over a decade, building the chemistry, the stories, the experience, etc.
If you watch the chat activity depending on the caster duo, the chemistry and jokes between the casters is a HUGE factor in how active the chat is. Chat is more active when people are having a good time, usually. Wardi and Demu are a great example of this - just by being themselves together they're constantly telling hilarious stories, joking around, poking fun at each other and everyone else, and I like everyone else in the chat is aboslutely loving it.
Beo is a fine caster in his own right, but he's a pallid replacement for one of the classic casting duos like: Rotti/Demu, Rotti/ZG, PiG/Rotti, ZG/Wardi, etc.
Two notes:
Beo, this is not personal to you although I'm certain it's unpleasant to read. Like I said I have nothing against you and think you're an above average, good caster in your own right. It's just that when we have a wealth of amazing casters who've honed their skills over 10+ years TOGETHER, I think we're losing out on that by replacing them with you.
I think Steadfast is an exception to this general notion, in my opinion, as he has casted almost 24/7 over the past years and has built a solid back and forth with several of the other casters.
EDIT: I would also say, to anyone who doesn't enjoy Beo's casting at all - please don't share it hatefully. You don't have to love every caster all the time. Even in the list above, there are times I don't want to listen to some of those guys. If you share my confusion or discontent, please be considerate of his feelings as it's not his fault he's replacing the other casters and he loves SC2 just like we do. Please be kind and voice your opinion fairly.

2024.05.02 17:07 MuncherEater My boyfriend showed his true colors.
You never know what someone’s really like when you first get together. You only see the pretty things. The things you want to see. And the things he wants to show you. That was the case with Tommy.
In the beginning, Tommy was so great. He was smart, handsome, and had a good job. He was a bit older than me, which made his attraction to me feel like I was of high maturity.
It all went wrong as soon as I let my guard down and opened up to him. He changed. He said that I was unaffectionate, that I secretly hated him, and that he could do much better than to be with a girl like me.
This was all not true. I tried explaining but to no avail. After that he disappeared.
This is where I started really fearing Tommy.
He texted me saying that he was sorry, that he loved me, and wanted to meet up.
At this point in time I had decided that not having him in my life was for the best. That I should stay away from him, but my stupid heart gave in, and I agreed to his request.
He came to pick me up. I got in his car and greeted him with a handshake. I could tell he didn’t like that. His pretty expressive face gave him away. He didn’t talk for a while after that. Just kept driving.
Then, in an instant. He hit the brakes in the middle of an empty street. He got something out of the glove box and stabbed me in the neck with it. It was a syringe I think. Everything went fuzzy.
I woke up in a brightly lit room. I was tied from the waist down to a table.
“I was gonna take you out to dinner. But when you just shook my hand. I knew you were toying with my feelings”
The first thing that occurred to me was how insecure he was. And how much of a danger I was really in, he was unstable, and had a knife in his hand. I had to act accordingly.
“Tommy, I’m sorry if it seemed like that. But I’m sick, and I didn’t want my germs all over you.” cough
“You know I don’t care about that, I’d kiss you even if you had the deadliest of flus”
“I really missed you too, so much. I still love you and want you to hold me again.”
He untied me, then hugged me and dropped the knife.
I grabbed the knife from the ground, then got real close to his ear and whispered.
“I could never love you”
I instantly stabbed him in the thigh, then twisted the blade inside him.
He could barely move. And died quite quickly due to bleeding.
Ever since then I’ve always kept a taser with me at all times, and made sure to vet any potential partners.
I couldn’t risk getting another Tommy situation.

2024.05.02 17:05 sensibilitySnark419 Duke Dantalion: 3 month report!
Hello friends! I’ll start this off with a bit of background on myself.
Ive always been fascinated with religion, history, spiritualism, the occult, and basically anything regarding the human brain / psychology. I do a lot of reading and started finding myself learning about Demonolatry and found it fascinating. I was raised catholic but am generally more spiritual now — I believe in some type of higher power, but I believe religion is corrupt. I believe in talking to my ancestors, an afterlife, and connecting with different spirits can be beneficial to your life and wellbeing.
Since I was raised catholic, I was always interested in the archangels and saints. I never really felt connected to the saints, though, and I found the archangels to be somewhat present but very intense and almost .. condescending(?) in a way. I don’t know how to describe it. However I always relied on Saint Michael during some of my darkest times and I felt like he was always a good protector, although intense, and have immense respect and love for him to this day.
Now, onto demons lol. I became fascinated with demonolatry and decided to read everything I could. I went through all the resources in the wiki here, read as many books as I could (thank you, Kindle unlimited lol) and landed on three demons I just felt called to: Dantalion, Sallos, and Seere.
The last three months I’ve worked on my meditation, invocation, and finding a routine that works for me. Now I feel like I can discuss my experiences so far; and in particular, with Duke Dantalion.
It took me about 3 rituals to actually feel connected to him. I start off with 30-40 minutes of binaural / theta waves to clear my mind and get into a meditative state, then I listen and chant the enn, and finish with another 30-40 minutes of binaural / theta beats to listen and sit with the spirit. I do all of this at my altar space with incense, candles, offerings, etc.
What I’ve experienced so far:
Overall I just really love his energy and personality. He’s been wonderful and patient with me, and as my first demon, has been a delight. I look forward to learning more from him and continuing this journey with him.
I plan on also posting about my Sallos and Seere experiences too, as they’re the other two I felt drawn to, but Dantalion in particular took a strong hold on me and it was like a magnet. If you’re comfortable being challenged, like to learn about yourself and your weaknesses, and want to work with a spirit who is kind but stern, I cannot recommend him enough. Like I said, he’s made such a positive impact on me that even my friends greet him and talk about him when they come over. His impact positively on my mind and life has been apparent to not only myself but those who are close to me.
Ave Duke Dantalion ❤️

I do all of this at my altar space with incense, candles, offerings, etc.
What I’ve experienced so far:
- intensity. Wow. Dantalion is a strong, beautiful spirit. I almost found myself becoming obsessed with him in a way. I’ve read this is somewhat common with him as his strength is the human mind / psyche. I find myself thinking about him often and throughout the day. I find myself talking about him to my close friends — who have dubbed him “Dandy” or “Dandelion” (in a respectful and loving way) because of how positively I speak of him.
- i have found him to be so kind, warm, and pleasant, but firm. When I make requests to him or ask him questions, he often will say that while he CAN do something, I should be aware of XYZ, or be prepared for a certain result. For example, I asked him for relationship help with a guy I was seeing and felt was a good match for me. Upon talking to Dantalion, he told me he can certainly help with the relationship and connection, but that the guy had a strong ego, a lot of issues to work through, and he would ultimately drain me of my energy and happiness. Dantalion warned me and said that I’ve come so far, I have so much strength and self respect now, and all of this is at risk if I try to pursue someone who isn’t worthy of me. That I’ll lose myself and the work I’ve put in over the years if I give my energy to this individual who isn’t where I am mentally, and spiritually. He warned me that there’d be a lot of lies, cheating, deception, etc. to overcome with this individual as he is battling his own “inner demons” (lol for a lack of better word). And while he’s happy to help me, he wants me to be aware of all of these things before he does anything, and to prepare myself for if this is really something that serves me. I’ve never had a spirit or angel or anyone do this for me; to offer help, but to let me know and warn me of where my weak spots might be. Basically “you’re allowed to make mistakes, and I’ll be here if you do, but let’s make sure you know what you’re signing up for)
- I’ve found his presence to be comforting but also weird. I feel him as a warmth beside me. I feel his energy walk into the room in front of me, and then he just sits beside me while I talk to him. He’s patient. I feel the pins prickle of my neck and to my ear too, which is a little unsettling at first but not overwhelming.
- I see green eyes, looking at me, in my mind. Green and yellow cloudy haze coming from above me. Very subtle visually in my experience.
Overall I just really love his energy and personality. He’s been wonderful and patient with me, and as my first demon, has been a delight. I look forward to learning more from him and continuing this journey with him.
I plan on also posting about my Sallos and Seere experiences too, as they’re the other two I felt drawn to, but Dantalion in particular took a strong hold on me and it was like a magnet.

2024.05.02 17:03 bomboy2121 Is the event story worth reading or is it a good idea to skip?
Tl;dr-I know the answers will be subjective but im still interested in knowing others opinions to decide if i should skip or not.
My rant:Ive been playing since week 1 of gb and while i dislike books/novels i still enjoyed reading the story. It was fine at the start but the word count only went higher and higher without any real reason for at least 1/4 of it, its just useless and pointless philosophical discussions to get a single point across and near light broke me with how long and boring it was. Thankfully lone trail was amazing and had an interesting story so i kept reading all the chapters/event story toll today. But now seeing that chapter 14 is the longest also showed that zh is now the 2nd longest. Im a uni student ffs, i dont have so much free time to spend it on a hobby i dont really like (reading) if it isnt good (or at least relevant for the lore of other events/story).
And before anyone say "if you dont want to read just skip" then the point is that i do want to read but i dont really have the time or mental strength to waste 3-4 hours of my time just to find out if i like the story or not, i know i can skip everything and read it later but its either i read it now or never.
Thanks in advance if you read my rambling

My rant:Ive been playing since week 1 of gb and while i dislike books/novels i still enjoyed reading the story. It was fine at the start but the word count only went higher and higher without any real reason for at least 1/4 of it, its just useless and pointless philosophical discussions to get a single point across and near light broke me with how long and boring it was.

2024.05.02 17:03 thrwawyacctb May 2nd in Fl and I found out I’m pregnant
I just found out this morning that I’m pregnant. It’s probably very early as my last period was only 3 weeks ago. And thank god because I live in stupid Florida. As most of you probably know, as of yesterday, the law is now only up to 6 weeks. Thankfully, I was able to get an appointment today for 3pm.
Not only this, but this would be my 3rd abortion in the last year (making 3 total). I really struggle with birth control bc I get migraines aura and can’t have estrogen, so my options are really limited. It’s really frustrating. I don’t want to have a 3rd abortion, but I don’t want/can’t afford a baby more. I was just (literally like 5 days ago) able to get back on my birth control after 3 months of not being able to get it bc of the change healthcare cyber attack thing.
I’m so frustrated. Like why couldn’t I have gotten my birth control? Why did they just now fix the issue with manufacturers coupons? Why did Florida have to change this law? How am I again in this situation? How do I prevent it in the future? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I really do try to avoid this. I don’t want another abortion in the shitty/creepy clinic near me. I just want to be able to live my f-ing life not worrying if my birth control is making me crazy and not worrying about getting pregnant. Like I’m a full-time graduate student that works two jobs, I have other things to worry about - Why does being a woman have to be so difficult Ughhhhhhhhh
Has anyone been through anything similar? Sorry for the rant, I’m just really frustrated right now. Also, just to be clear, I fully support the right to choose through and through - in case it read differently.

2024.05.02 17:02 JasonBetter10 The Best Ways to Cope With Homesickness at Summer Camp

At Camp Friendship, we take pride in creating a home away from home for our campers. Our staff is well-trained to handle all levels of homesickness and encourage campers to make the most of their time at camp. Our goal is for every camper to have a successful summer during which they gain independence, learn new things, and form connections with others. To make that goal a reality, follow these tips for helping your child deal with homesickness at summer camp. Recognize that homesickness at sleepaway camp is normalAs a first-time camper, or maybe even returning camper, many children will face the difficulties of homesickness. Being homesick is not abnormal. For many families in today’s plugged in world, summer camp is the first real separation they have experienced, making homesickness the norm rather than the exception.In fact, research shows that around 90% of campers experience some level of homesickness at least once during the summer. Let your child know that it’s completely okay to miss home and the things that are familiar to them. Since homesickness at summer camp is to be expected, it’s important to understand how to help your child move forward and enjoy the summer. Even if homesickness doesn’t go away entirely, it is important for children to know that they can be both homesick and happy at camp. Prepare for the inevitableParents can help overcome homesickness at camp by preparing themselves and their camper for the summer. Start by acknowledging the realities of homesickness. Explain that feeling homesick is tough, but completely normal and not a sign that camp isn’t fun. Together, come up with coping strategies like journaling, hugging a favorite stuffed animal, or even reading a new book. Empowering campers to self-regulate and be okay with missing home is a skill they will be able to rely on for the rest of their lives.Remind your camper that homesick feelings typically hit during downtimes like right before bed or in between activities. It can be helpful to walk your camper through asking for assistance from a counselor at these times. The more your camper understands about these new feelings and what to do when they arise, the more manageable they become. Our Family Camp is also a gentle way to introduce your child to the newness of camp life. With parents and siblings along for the fun, your child will become familiar with all that camp has to offer. You can also take this time to coach them on typical camping skills, like how to use a flashlight at night. Give your child time to adjust to camp lifeWhile homesickness is common at sleepaway camps and across all ages, it often doesn’t last long. Since 1966, we’ve supported our campers through initial adjustment periods. This experience allows us to confidently say that homesickness usually goes away quickly. In fact, homesickness typically fades after the first night because they become so busy with activities and new friends. If this isn’t the case for your child, that’s absolutely okay. For some children, expecting the feelings of homesickness to go away entirely is fruitless, and a regular part of learning to live away from home.Throughout their time away from home, counselors are your camper’s first line of communication and comfort while at camp. They will help support your child, with the guidance and professional expertise of a Camp Director guiding the way. Our staff work to establish a strong relationship right off the bat, orient campers to camp life, and help them feel comfortable so each child has the confidence to find security and acceptance outside their home. Stay in touch…but don’t overdo itCommunicating with your camper can be a great way to alleviate homesickness and remind your camper that they’re in your thoughts. You can send snail mail letters and e-Letters using our email system.It’s important to send just enough letters and e-Letters that your child feels supported, but you don’t have to write every single day or expect them to do the same. Constant updates on the events occurring at home may leave them feeling left out. Instead of sharing stories from home, focus on asking about their experiences at camp. We recognize that homesickness goes both ways. No matter how many years your camper has been attending camp, missing them never gets any easier. What to say to a child experiencing homesickness at summer campIf your child gets homesick, follow these rules of thumb when communicating with them.Empathize with themBe sure to validate their feelings. Let them know how proud you are for taking the big step to come to camp and how excited you are to hear about their accomplishments when they finish.Provide reassuranceReassure them that it’s okay to miss home, everyone does at some point, and being in a new environment can be hard. Express confidence in their ability to be away at camp. It can be comforting for them to hear that “nothing exciting is happening at home.”Relate to themShare personal experiences of a time when you yourself felt homesick and what you did to overcome it. Alternatively, if your camper has an older sibling or family member that experienced homesickness, share what helped them, but try to keep it short.Focus on the positive parts of summer campBy the time you receive a homesick letter, your camper is likely to have already bounced back and started to enjoy themselves again. With that in mind, it’s important that your letter doesn’t hinder any progress they may already have made. Try to avoid addressing the more negative parts of their letter and instead concentrate your letter on any exciting news your camper has already shared. Redirecting the conversation to discuss the fun times will help them to realize all they could be participating in. “Camp is like life,” said one camper on an open forum, “The more you get involved, the more you’ll get out of it.”Make them smileWrite them encouraging, cheerful letters with a few jokes to bring a smile to their face.Don’t suggest they quitAs a parent, it can be difficult to act against your instinct to say “If you don’t like it you can just come home.” While many parents think this will reassure their child, it often does much more harm than good. It sets your child up for failure since most campers will have some sad feelings they will need to work through. Sending your child to camp with the knowledge that they can pull the plug at any time can set them up to have an unsuccessful summer.Our staff are trained to address homesickness by connecting with campers, helping them engage in camp life, and reminding them that the best way to combat homesickness is to fully jump into camp. Of course, in severe cases of homesickness, it may be best for your child to leave camp, but that is something we would work with you on after several conversations and updates from a Camp Director. Handling homesickness is a reality many campers and their parents will have to face. For us, addressing homesickness is all about teaching kids that they have the strength to overcome it. By sharing coping strategies and encouraging engagement in fun activities, parents can help minimize the uncomfortable of missing home even from afar. The goal is that this open dialog will empower children to handle the challenge of homesickness so they can enjoy even more adventures throughout their lives! |
2024.05.02 17:02 Former_Phrase1846 I took cash out of someone’s wallet that was left behind at my job
Someone at my job found a wallet by their car, brought it into the store. The only thing in it was an ID and some cash, at the time I didn’t know how much was in it. After about a week I figured no one was coming for it and I am living cash advance to paycheck every week, so I underhandedly took the money out and snuck it into my pocket. Later in the day, I counted $80.
This is 100% wrong behavior and bottom line I should not have taken another person’s belongings no matter what it is.
Someone discovered the empty wallet and reported it to our supervisor.
They claim they counted $100 in the wallet before it was taken but the amount I counted was $80..
No one has come to talk to me yet but I am thinking about coming forward to my boss and just getting it over with, I’m sure I’ll lose my job, I’ll probably get charged with petty theft or something, I’ve never had any criminal record, but I am disappointed in myself for making a horrible, stupid decision that can ruin my life or someone else’s.
Should I come forward to my boss or wait until they provide some kind of proof that it was me? Would it look better if I come forward and be honest instead of continuing to lie about the issue or acting like it wasn’t me the whole time?
Again. I understand that I was wrong to do this and would even be willing to pay it back. It was a very shitty thing to do to deprive someone else of what could have been THEIR money to survive. Stealing is wrong, and I deserve what’s coming. I wish I could take it back. Any advice on this would be great, but if you choose to slam that’s understandable too given the circumstances..
Thanks

2024.05.02 16:59 basedmama21 IF you’re close with your mom, what is she like?!
As we approach Mothers Day (I really hate Mothers Day) I’m curious about this. Serious advice needed since I’m finally about to have a daughter very soon. I did get very good EMDR and family trauma therapy before having my first child, but I really want to know what your experience was like if you can actually trust, rely on, feel comfortable/safe with your mom because I don’t have that.
I would love a perspective from this crowd since you all are both daughters and moms and you can give the most subjective rating of your moms. I have a good idea of how I will emotionally and empathetically support my daughter but I never received that myself so it feels like winging it.
(Btw I’m already in the narcissist parent threads, obviously those are an echo chamber and no one has healthy mom dynamics there lol)

- My mom came to my OB appointments to check the status of my virginity. Thankfully the office caught on and advocated for me
- Once I got my period, I was a woman and treated like one…not in a good way. I’ve been called every female slur in the book, even c word, by my mom but no one else
- She’s tried sabotaging all my relationships, jobs, etc
- I would essentially feel safer with a stranger in my delivery room than her
