2024.05.17 11:36 Lonely_You5679 I went through my husbands phone

Hi, my husband cheated on me, going on 3 years ago now and I stayed. I would like to preface this with letting everyone know I didn’t find anything bad. I stopped going through his phone a long long time ago. We have each other’s passwords and we have an open device rule which I just don’t often feel the need to use anymore. For some reason I had a feeling I should check. I found a conversation that he had a couple weeks ago where he confessed his affair to someone and honestly it helped confirm my decision to stay. He said he would rather die than hurt me like that again. He talked about how he almost lost me and how he wouldn’t know what to do if he had. He said it was the biggest mistake of his life. I read through lines and lines of all of the things we’ve built together and been through. I know he was thinking about it because I had brought it up around that time. I have stayed but I am still processing it piece by piece. I honestly feel at peace in my marriage right now, I love him and I’m glad staying has worked for us. (Note: staying is NOT the right decision for everyone, please do not take this as a sign to stay in a continuous toxic situation. We have done therapy, moved away for a fresh start, and basically reset our entire lives to work through this. If you are in a position where it is safe and you are thinking about staying, it can work if your partner works with you. Please don’t respond if you are going to be mean, I just really wanted a safe outlet where I could share this because I am experiencing many big emotions right now.)

2024.05.17 11:33 k2riskconsulting0 5 Key Steps to develop a Risk Management Framework

  1. Foster a Proactive Mindset
Risk management isn't just about responding to crises as they arise; it's about anticipating them before they happen. To integrate risk management into your corporate culture, encourage a proactive mindset among your team. This means nurturing an environment where foresight and forward-planning are valued above all. Equip your staff with the tools and knowledge to identify potential risks early on. By holding regular training sessions on risk assessment and mitigation, employees can become adept at spotting warning signs and taking preventative action.

  1. Cultivate Open Communication
A culture that thrives on open communication is less prone to the perils of unforeseen risks. For risk management to be truly effective, everyone from top-tier executives to the newest recruits must feel comfortable voicing concerns and sharing insights. Establish a clear protocol for reporting potential risks, ensuring there are no barriers to communication. Celebrate transparency by highlighting instances where employee vigilance prevented a risk from becoming a reality.

  1. Integrate Risk Awareness Into Decision-Making
Decisions are the drivers of success for any business, but they also open the door to possible risks. Embed risk considerations into the decision-making process by incorporating risk-benefit analyses in planning sessions. When discussing future strategies or projects, require team leads to present not only the expected outcomes but also the associated risks and their proposed mitigation plans. This will not only help safeguard against potential pitfalls but also promote a more analytical approach to strategic thinking.

  1. Set the Tone From the Top
The importance of leadership in setting cultural norms cannot be overstated. Leaders who prioritize risk management send a powerful message: risks are taken seriously here. Executives should demonstrate their commitment to risk management by being actively involved in related initiatives. By sharing stories of how risk management has positively impacted the company, leaders can inspire their teams to adopt similar values and behaviors.

  1. Regularly Review and Adapt Your Risk Strategy
In a world that's ever-changing, a static risk management approach will soon fall short. Regularly reviewing and adapting your strategy in response to new market developments, emerging technologies, and evolving threats is essential. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement where feedback on risk management practices is sought and acted upon. This not only keeps your strategy relevant but also reinforces the value placed on risk management within your company culture.
Conclusion
Integrating risk management into your corporate culture doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process that requires intention, effort, and consistency. By embracing these five practices, you’re equipping your business with a solid foundation to face uncertainties. Remember, in today's dynamic business landscape, those who plan for the unexpected are the ones who thrive.

NOTES
· The EPIC rarity is only stated in the card description if it is a different value than shown in-game.
· All Star Card descriptions were rewritten to be unilateral and have similar explanations. The names of heroes and second-person pronouns were avoided.
· Clearer antonyms are used: increased/decreased; extended/reduced.
o Increase/decrease suggests a progression in size, amount, or numbers (like adding/subtracting health, damage, stamina drain, and sprint speed).
o Extend/reduce suggests a change made to a value or number (like percentages for time, distance, and blaster heat).
· Damage Reduction is received; health points are regained.
· To avoid confusion, the term increased cooldown speed and increased recharge time (which uses percentage increased) is avoided. To keep all related effects as close in description as possible: extended/reduced cooldown time (still percentage) is the simplest way to describe the effect without changing the in-game number values.
· Extra damage is damage added to ability; bonus damage is situational.
· Some values were rounded to whole numbers to reflect in-game values. Such are health points, damage points, and blaster overheat. As a result, though noticeably small, the actual values in-game may be a little off when it comes to stacked values (like stacking damage reduction) and are yet to be tested.
· Some stats between the BF2 wiki and SammyBoiii’s Hero Guides differ in stats; however, they agree for the most part and usually differ by units less than a second.
· Feel free to pick any hero and test out the stats yourself. The more accurate stats we have, the better we can use them.
· Question Marks are unknown values. If you happen to know them or calculate the value, feel free to share them. Video proof seems to always work best.
· I personally feel that being open to the intricacies of every star card and ability is the best way to go and should not be considered an exploit. Everyone should know what’s happening when the enemy team starts using these game-changers (and there are many people who do), and best enabling them to learn how to counter it. In the end, understanding these little details leads to a more competitive and playable battlefront.
· Although not too often, some of the supposed up-to-date references below contradict each other; I had to make a final choice without having the time to test them.
· Getting all these stats was a hard-earned headache in the end. Feel free to correct any discrepancies you may find!

2024.05.17 11:26 BigBoyBillyRay Blank screen with cursor leading to unusual login screen

Hi folks,
So I turned my laptop on, I’m not sure the model but it’s an MSI gaming laptop with i7 7th gen cpu, and I get a blank screen with the cursor. Eventually after a minute or so I get the unusual login screen which is white has widgets no login bar and a pixelated “windows sign-in” in the top left corner and whenever I press any button or click the touchpad it goes back to the blank screen with the cursor. I have removed all external devices and it’s still the same. I have a feeling it may have something to do with Fallout 4, there was an update released for it which was known to cause problems with modded versions of the game, which is the version I had. I kept cancelling the download but it kept slowly downloading everytime I opened steam. I think it may have eventually completed the download. I have never had any software or major issues with this laptop since I got it which was around 2016/17 I believe
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to the problem? It’s a nightmare because it has all my work on a lot of which is not backed up.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to help me, your assistance and kindness in helping people truly makes the world go around. Thank you so much in advance.

2024.05.17 11:22 Jealous-Rice1293 Pernat: "For Bastianini Pramac is an option, but we are talking to Aprilia"

Link: https://www.gpone.com/it/2024/05/17/motogp/pernat-per-bastianini-pramac-e-unopzione-ma-parliamo-con-aprilia.html
"Marquez has broken the balance, I don't think he will go to KTM. After Ducati's decision the market will accelerate, the first contracts as early as Mugello"
The flames of the market are smouldering under the ashes in the Borgo Panigale offices. Ducati is holding up negotiations by taking its time to decide who will be Bagnaia's team-mate between Martin, Marquez and Bastianini. All that remains for the others is to wait, and then close with the one who will be excluded from the choice. Carlo Pernat, Enea's manager and a great connoisseur of the rider market, knows this well.
"Ducati's decision, which will probably come after the Mugello GP, is blocking everyone: KTM, Aprilia, Yamaha - says Pernat - Right now, no one wants to sign contracts, there are maybe some verbal agreements, which have the value they have. I understand Ducati because they have three very strong riders and if at the beginning they thought they would leave two of them out, now their mentality has changed. I have the impression that they want to keep two and so they are putting pressure on Pramac in particular, but Yamaha are pushing hard with Campinoti. These days there will definitely be talks, I think before Mugello even Pramac will decide what to do."
Today, Martin seems the favourite for the factory team, at this point Ducati could offer Marquez or Bastianini to Pramac, provided they want to go.
"It's a hypothesis, if they decide for Jorge, in my opinion Ducati will make proposals to Marc and Enea to stay with the factory bike in a satellite team. That I think is the route they are taking."
Would Bastianini accept being moved to Pramac?
"The priority is to stay with the factory team, everything else is to be seen. Going to Pramac with an official bike could be a possibility, but it's not certain. I speak as a manager, there are the lures of Aprilia, KTM and even Yamaha. I don't hide the fact that Aprilia has important aspects, there would be the combination of Italian bike and rider and a competitive bike, I am negotiating with them as with others. In any case, Enea will be able to find a place in an official team."
Does Bastianini still hope to stay in red?
"If Ducati is postponing the decision it is because they still have faith in him. We mustn't forget that Enea was completely lost last year, he had arrived in a new team without Giribuola, with a new bike, he was immediately injured, he hadn't been able to train, he was injured again on his return to Barcelona and, despite being at 70%, he had managed to win a race. Ducati had reconfirmed him because they couldn't judge him for that season and now they also believe - and I also believe - in him."
Martin, Marquez and Bastianini are within 40 points of each other in the championship, does the thought of losing the future world champion scare Ducati? What would you do as manager?
"Now it's late, they should have made different choices before. I've always said that the arrival of Marquez at Ducati would upset the balance after having made a policy of young people and winning. Now it's difficult to do something, they've created this problem for themselves."
How does a rider react when he is in the situation of having to play for a seat in a few GPs?
"The riders when they race do not remember these things, but it is clear that they think about it when they are at home. There you can see the strength of each one, but that is not the only factor. For example, Enea ran out of fuel in qualifying at Le Mans, as he explained, and started on the fourth row. I am not asking for Bastianini to be lucky in these races, but not unlucky. By starting further in front he could have played with the leaders, he did the fastest lap at the end."
What does Bastianini think?
"It is a situation that has never previously existed and we are all a bit, from the riders to the managers, on our toes. Enea hopes to stay with Ducati, but we are ahead in negotiations with Aprilia and KTM and we have an open discussion with Yamaha. The objective is to arrive at Mugello with clear ideas and there we can make pre-contracts, and I am sure that there will already be something written there."
Does Bagnaia count for nothing in this decision?
"Rightly they may have asked him for an opinion, but then Ducati goes its own way, makes its own evaluations. It's not what makes the decision."
Pit Beirer said that Marquez is not a realistic option for KTM, do you believe him?
"I believe him. Miller and Augusto Fernandez are not doing what they were meant to do and they need a rider for GasGas, in fact I am talking too. Anything is possible, but it's difficult to see Marc in KTM having already Acosta and Binder."
Once Ducati has decided, will the market accelerate?
"Absolutely, especially for the big boys, as early as the next day. The manufacturers won't be able to wait, those who do will lose out."
In addition to Aldeguer, could someone arrive from Moto2?
"It will depend a lot on whether Yamaha will have a second team or not and also Aprilia has to change something in Trackhouse. People are talking about Joe Roberts, so he could get a seat. Maybe there could be another one at Yamaha, Arbolino would have to wake up a bit, and also Vietti, who would have the jump secured with KTM if he went well."

2024.05.17 11:20 Impossible_Class_364 I think my friend has a problem

This is a long-winded post, but please bear with me. Okay jumping in…..so, I have this friend. She's 28, totally gorgeous, kinda became successful at a very young age, transplanted to the U.S. from another country when she was 19 to start working more seriously, etc.
She had a serious boyfriend for 3½ years. It seemed like they were soulmates to the rest of us in their friendship circles. After a few months we were all pretty close-knit, since their two friend groups spilled into each other. We did everything together, all the time. Dinners at each other's' houses, going to bars/restaurants, concerts, road trips, etc. Pretty quickly into that relationship my friend basically adopted her boyfriend's passions of photography and hiking into being her own. Let me also say.. this dude was a blue-collar working guy in the same field as her, 7 years older than she, and she was far more “successful” than he was. Didn't matter, they were genuinely in love. Posting each other's photos on Instagram all the time, constantly bringing each other up in conversations, etc.
Things were going well, until 2 years ago. After my friend and her boyfriend went away on separate jobs for a month….. she came back to town in love with her new “coworker”. Totally left-field, and all of us who were mutual friends of the two were shocked by this. No one had any inkling of a problem between them. All we got when we asked what happened was a “well things change, but, we're still staying friends”. Obviously, to those of us who are their friends, something seemed shady about what went down and we couldn't put our finger on what it could be. Sure, people fall out of love, or things run their course, but this was far too random and the timing was so odd. Neither one is religious, neither cares about marriage, non-abusive, they're both liberal, etc. So there was literally no signs of any troubles on that front.
The guy my friend has been with for the past two years since is a great person. Very funny dude, and a sweetheart. Would give someone the shirt off of his back. He's also more successful than she is in her same field, and is only 4 years older. We friends all like him well enough, but the friendship group dynamics have shifted considerably, obviously. Within months of the shocking breakup two years ago, she immediately co-opted this new guy's friend circle as her own, and some of us were kinda left out in the cold for a little while. Gradually she started to include us into the new guy's group, and we all get along well…. But, there's also a weird tension now that wasn't there before. We all feel it.
When a handful of us friends from her group run into mutual friends of her ex, we always wonder amongst ourselves what happened with their relationship…. The ex, still an awesome dude in his own right, hasn't really gotten over the breakup. He says he's doing fine and all that, but we can tell he isn't the same. Granted it has been two years, but his photos of my friend are still on his instagram, along with all of his romantic comments to her from years ago. He throws himself into his job, travels, but when he is home, he just stays inside or goes on long hikes with one other person. My friend still follows him and she likes his posts sometimes, but from what I'm told from his own best friends is that when they've talked since the break-up it's very superficial…. Surface-level conversations with no real substance.
For a year after the breakup, my friend kept talking nostalgically about her past - like it was so distant. Age 19, with a great job, running around L.A. with new friends, etc. She would bring up that back then she felt like an “adult” and was sure of who she was….but since then, she's realized she has no clue who she is and wants to find herself. This kind of talking set off alarm bells with a few of us in her circle, and we sort of felt like maybe there is more to our friend than we realize. She really dove into the relationship with the guy she is with now, and I think it's fair to say the ex was discarded. At least that's the vibe a couple of us have post-breakup.
She doesn't post anything with the guy she's with now. Or, she does… but she doesn't tag him in the photos (and they're long shots from far away). She rarely posts him, and vice versa. The last time I think they posted each other was on their Instagram story on Valentine's Day months ago. Yet, oddly, since she's started dating him she's come out of her “shell” more and is behaving in a much more ambitious outgoing way than she was with the ex. Again, it is like she is adopting her boyfriend’s traits into her own.
I guess the discussion I'd like to have is… is my friend a usemanipulator with a mental illness? Is she capable of being “happy”, or is she bad news? Sure, millions of people have broken up for a multitude of reasons. Maybe she genuinely just wasn't into the ex anymore… but people don't just fall out of love at random and discard someone they say is their soulmate for another man within a month’s time. I'm talking all-in on the relationship with this newer guy, yet she doesn't post it publicly like the previous one, and she keeps us at arm’s length sometimes from him and his friends. One of our mutual buddies, who is more outspoken and is about to end their friendship with her, thinks she's just “recharging her batteries” and will end up discarding this guy as well in a year or two. We're thinking about talking to her about all of this soon.
She's always seemed like such a great friend and an empath. But, given her behavior over the past two years, some of us are wondering if we should continue being friends with her. Breaking up with someone you're “soulmates” with and getting someone new within a month and going 100% all-in… to me just screams emotional immaturity and that she probably has unrealistic expectations of what she wants in someone. Like she traded the ex dude for someone who had a piece of what she thinks she's looking for. Or do you redditors think she likely got bored, and longed for the early honeymoon period of sunshine and rainbows again with someone else (which is selfish/narcissistic)
Please be nice in your responses. Thanks. :)

2024.05.17 11:18 Leather_Fig1840 My friend has cut me off because he has a crush on me and I can’t get him out of my head

My (19M) friend (19M) texted me 3 months ago to tell me that he could no longer speak to me because he is in a committed relationship and he was starting to develop a crush on me. In order to prioritise his boyfriend, whom he loves very much, he had to cut contact with me, for a non-specific amount of time. In his words, it is “dangerous” for us to speak.
This all starts when we were 16- 3 years ago. Something important to know: this did not start platonically. We were two 16 year old boys who had similar interests and who could sustain one another intellectually, and thence began a romantic long-distance summer fling. He is a classical musician and actually composed me some pieces. After a while, it died out because of the distance. We remained friends after the fact, but I most certainly did not forget him. He told me at 16 that I was one of those people you’re told your whole life that you’ll meet. Those words have stuck with me.
For the next two years that followed, contact remained spotty. Any conversation we had revolved around music (mostly), philosophy, life, anything. Usually long conversations, but very infrequent.
Then August 2023 rolls around. I’m 18 and I’m about to begin uni on the other side of the country. In a new city….. in his city. Yes, I moved to his city. Not on purpose. I post my arrival on my Instagram story, and he replies that we must get coffee together sometime soon. Basically, I was head over heels. I had a crush on this guy. He’s a local, so he ended up picking a pizza restaurant. I arrive first and I’m waiting in front of the restaurant, facing the window. All of a sudden, I see his reflection in the window; a guy wearing a violin case like a backpack. I turn around and he crosses the street to come give me a hug. This was our first meeting in person.
We spoke a while in the restaurant. Spoiler: He has had a boyfriend since March at this point (I HAD NO CLUE). At one point in our pizza-filled conversation, he mentions his boyfriend. However, in our language, the word he used can mean either boyfriend or friend. I really didn’t think he was in a relationship, so my delusional ass interpreted it in the platonic sense. After the restaurant, we walked to his music school, where we found a room. I sat on a chair and he took out his violin. He asked me to name any composer and he would play a piece from said composer. I neglected to mention that he is extremely talented. One in a million. If it isn’t obvious, I thought this was a date. It was not a date; not for him at least.
After said encounter, I felt quite disappointed that I didn’t get any romantic vibes from him (duh, it was not a date. He literally mentioned his boyfriend lol). I complained to my old roommate for days about this. My roommate, on some intoxicated bender, texts this guy and tells him that he needs to let me know if he has feelings for me or not. I was furious. My roommate guiltily confessed this to me the following morning. He told my roommate that he is not single and that he is not at all interested in me. He does say, however, that “we would have been the perfect match”; something that he probably shouldn’t have said but it is not something that I will contest. What my roommate did was a gross violation of my boundaries, of course I’m upset. However, in a way, it almost needed to happen. A few days later, I reply to his story about some other restaurant, and he says that his bf/friend (the word is ambiguous in our language) recommended it to him. I ask him if he has a boyfriend and he clears it up then and there. It was after this interaction that my crush dissipated. Knowing that he wasn’t interested in me really helped with me moving onto other guys.
Over the following months, we speak every now and then. When we spoke, the conversations would not end. The kind of conversations where you know that you have to go to bed, so you wished the other person goodnight, yet there you are talking about fucking Ligeti 50 minutes later. Anyways, while I was supposed to working on a philosophy assignment, I told him that I USED to have a crush on him, but I was firm on the fact that I no longer did. I told him the “date” story as a funny anecdote. He had no clue that I ever liked him like that at any point. The conversation got a little awkward, but he told me that he really loves his boyfriend, but that he “does not forget”. He tells me that we would have been a perfect match. Funny.
A little while after, he invites me to one of his concerts at the museum. There, I meet his mother and grandparents. Also, his boyfriend. The concert was great, and the three of us chat for a while afterwards. Unfortunately, he has to leave, but he suggests that I tour the museum with his boyfriend, so his boyfriend and I tour the museum together. Interesting experience. Something important to know: I don’t have the best impression of his boyfriend. Their relationship is (was???) an open relationship and it felt like this guy really had to convince him to join his polyamory, based on what he told me in their conversations. Also, they were apparently on a break at one point earlier in the year because my friend’s mental/physical health was really bad, so to me it seems as though his boyfriend abandoned him in his time of need because the relationship “got hard”, so I already don’t have the best impression of him based on what my friend has told me. Anyways, I honestly thought that his bf was flirting with me??? (I guess he is allowed to because it’s an open relationship, but still…).
Fast forward the following month: we were supposed to see a concert together but something bad happened so he couldn’t attend. I end up buying him a CD which I had signed because this is a very famous pianist who just happened to visit our city. For like 3 months, we didn’t see each other, but I reminded him regularly that I had a specially-signed CD to give him. He has classes next to my apartment sometimes, but we can’t seem to get our schedules to fit…. until the end of February.
He has this class thing where you can invite people to watch you play and get critiqued, which he invited me to! After watching him play, I greet him outside the room and one of his colleagues. Let’s call her F. We all chat a little and I give him his disk. Literally such a mundane interaction.
BUT THEN THREE DAYS LATER, he texts me that he is very sorry, but that we have to cut contact. He has been dishonest toward himself and toward his boyfriend, because he has a crush on me. He doesn’t WANT to have a crush on me. And look, I get it. His relationship is important and he is putting the guy he loves first. You can’t control how you feel about people, but you CAN control what you do about it. So I get it. Wouldn’t I do the same? I told him to promise me that he wouldn’t forget about me completely. I screamed “what the actual fuck” multiple times because I didn’t know how to process this. This is definitely not an event I expected to have in 2024… The only links we have in common are now: we have each other’s phone numbers, we are Facebook friends, and I am friends with F on Facebook because she also happens to be in my programme at uni. But we have not spoken. Not a single word between us since February 24th. I respect his decision, so I will not speak to him.
This guy occupied my mind rent-free. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Frustrating because when he told me that he wasn’t interested back in August, that was enough to help me move on. And all of a sudden, my mind can’t let go of the fact that this guy has a crush on me. This guy, whom my type is kind of based on honestly. Middle of March rolls by, and I meet F (his colleague) again at an event hosted by our programme. We all got drunk, especially me 🤦🏻‍♂️. And of course, being drunk, you have a tendency to bring down your inhibitions. We’re on the bus and she asks me how I know the friend. I tell her it’s a long story, but that I can’t speak to him anymore. I say that “he’s soooo dramatic”. She asks me to explain further, but I tell her that I can’t.
The next day, I felt like an idiot!!! Wow. I almost told her what happened. I don’t need that spreading around his school. I saw a uni therapist at the beginning of April, which didn’t really help much. Every time I took the bus, I would check to see if he too was on the bus. Never was.
BUT THEN, I met someone new. We’ll call him T. T has been successful in getting my mind off of the friend. It’s quite recent, but we’re seeing each other and it’s moving along smoothly. Beginning of May, I barely think about the friend anymore. I have a new guy in my thoughts and I’m very happy about it. So T and I go to see a concert together. Guess who just had to be doing a pre-concert in the waiting hall. The violinist friend. T and I are walking up the stairs and all of a sudden the violinist and I made eye-contact and I basically just had a hot flash. I had not seen this guy since February… And I seriously had to make eye-contact with him while I’m on a date with T???
I feel like my progress is ruined. Ever since I saw him at the concert hall, he is on my mind again. I keep checking his Facebook. I can’t listen to my favourite music without thinking about him. But I refuse to give up the music that feeds my soul just because he likes the same stuff. I feel awful toward T, because I have another guy in my thoughts.
All I know is that this person is special. I have known this for years and he is not someone I could accept never having in my life again. He has never forsaken me. I have a deep desire to share my life with him and to be apart of his, and I am perfectly okay with it being platonic. I just don’t know how I’m supposed to live my life without it being a soap opera.
TL;DR: An old friend that I had a crush on, but no longer had a crush on once I found out that he was in a relationship and was not interested in me, ended up having a crush on me and has had to cut contact with me in order to not be dishonest toward his boyfriend. I can’t stop thinking about him. It’s driving me mad.

2024.05.17 11:12 iamnotatroll666 If you are lonely / in need for new friends

We have this post on weekly basis. It could be this is actually a daily post.
I feel you, I have met even Londoners (born and bred here) complaining that after Uni their friend’s circle got weird and they also struggle to meet people.
I have also seen posts offering resources (like /LondonSocialClub).
Here is a different perspective on what has worked for me as an immigrant (with a very visible ethnicity) living here for 5+ years, that somehow has overcame the loneliness feeling.
To get in touch with any city, but specifically London, you need to understand its demography and its map. London is cleverly designed and divided on Boroughs. Each Borough has its very unique vibe and resources.
Depending on what type of building you live in, you will also have a “State” or the usual neighbours on left/right/backyard sides of your place. This may seem a very silly comment but you should start with the basics.
Start with the basics.
Do you know your neighbours? Not by name, but have you said hi? Do you know is there is an old lady or a disabled individual that may benefit from your help? Perhaps a single mum?
Do you know who administers your state? Where is your council’s town hall? Have you checked if they have activities?
Something very unique about London (my opinion of course) is how each Borough / Building is a micro cosmos itself and if you do not make efforts to understand it, you are out.
My very first exercise to improve this was opening Google Maps and literally walking 10 mins around my block and checking each specific business, even if I would never purchase from them.
Then, if you like coffee - just as an example - go support your local shop. Your local pub. Your local grocery shop. Yes you can grab Starbucks or Tescos too, but that corner shop around your block? Go there. Start a chat. They will recognise your face at some point and ask questions, where are you from? why are you in London?
The quick chats with your local shop owners will add well-being to your mental health, I swear.
This - dear /London, is how you start to feel in connection of your little community and then - to make friends. To feel like you belong somewhere.
Other key places to meet your local community.
1) Churches - London opened arms to many faiths, go reconnect with it even if you stopped going for years, they will always be happy to receive you back
2) Public libraries - they have reliable Wifi, books, DVDs and sometimes local events, check for book clubs.
3) Town Halls and local Museums - usually Boroughs have activities for all ages and some old buildings restored as museums with workshops / exhibits. Sign up for their newsletters.
4) Volunteer work - incredible way to meet people and helping.
5) Pubs with shows and quiz nights. I swear you can go there and have 1 pint only (pro tip, order Lucky Saint if you don’t like alcohol) and stay there for hours. Don’t go to random pubs. Search the ones that offer live shows or quizzes about things you like. Example- if you like drag queens, go to a drag queen quiz night. Many groups will be delighted to make space for an additional player.
6) This requires budget but - memberships of any sort. Gym, museums, Barbican, social clubs. If you go frequently to a place, it is the same logic over and over, people recognise you or of you recognise someone, saying “hello” is 100% socially acceptable.
All of the advice above requires effort. Of course. But how would you expect to fit in without any efforts?!
Adulthood is tricky because now you cannot rely on school to make friends and suddenly the “work culture” (that was always dodgy) got worse than ever after the pandemic.
London has so much to offer if you are keen on understanding its dynamics. There is no recipe for success here but hope the advice above helps someone!

2024.05.17 11:09 FireHandOWHOT An auction worth crashing (typo fix)

(The typos were bothering me so goddamn much i just needed to fix it even though its so far after i originally posted)
Raindrops begin to tap against the stone brick pavement, greeting Scornajis and the drow with a melancholic atmosphere. The crowds sifting through the streets begin to thin out as the minutes pass.
Scorn looks up at the building before him, easily the highest-class building in this town. A slow trickle of well-dressed individuals filters their way in and out.
This was the place.
The date of Wuhmi's sale was almost a week ago. Scorn's shoulders droop from his lack of hope. Despite rushing across the border here, the creeping feeling that he's too late has already sunk its claws into him.
He's taken out of his thoughts by a snap of the drow's mechanical fingers. "Scorn! C'mon, head in the game. Ready for the plan?"
He takes a deep breath and nods, rolling his shoulders back up into his confident stance as he focuses. "Hmm... there didn't seem to be any other entrances, so I guess the front door is the way to go. Sure your illusions will work?"
A hint of doubt hangs on his voice before the drow reassures him confidently. "It will, it will, and you won't even have to actually dress up in a suit." He lets out a slight chuckle. "Aye, that's good. Never can seem to get any in my size anyway."
The pair stand in an alley, and the drow points at Scorn. A far more glamorous robe than anything he usually wears now decorates his body, slightly shimmering. She does the same to herself, a dress appearing on her form. "Alright, ready, Scorn?" He nods in response, and the duo make their way to the building.
Entering the building, they are greeted by warmth and brightness, the contrast with the dark streets and rain leaving Scorn squinting as his eyes adjust.
It's a massive room with a stage surrounded by seats in the back of it, and several trinkets resting upon pedestals, up for silent auctions as people write down bids for them.
"Welcome sir, my lady, we do hope you find what you're looking for today." Says an employee as they stride past, both of them ignoring him. "Drow, over there, left of the stage." Scorn flicks his eyes to it, discreetly gesturing in its direction.
A man with a gold-encrusted cane is talking to an employee before a door is opened for them, another door immediately after, so the first can be shut behind them, hiding what's inside.
"But how do we get in..." The drow gives Scorn a pat on the back. "I've got it. Just go look around at things, act natural." And with that, she steps into a crowd and dissapears entirely
Tension tugs visibly on Scorn's stance as he is forced to stand idly. His body twitches as rage seeps into his every thought, the occasional flicker of flame rising off his body.
They took his apprentice, changed her entire *species*, and sold her like an animal. He leans slightly forward against a table displaying some objects, the weight of his thoughts pushing him down, before it's relieved by a tap on the back, the drow returning.
"Just hung out invisible near the door, I've got the passcode. Come on." Scorn nods, being led to the door by her. The employee stops the pair, drow clears her throat and "I'd like to buy freedom itself." "How much would you pay?" *The doorman asks.
"Everything."
With that, they allow Scorn and the drow through. The hall leads down a flight of stairs into a far larger auction house... and the things for sale are far worse. Cages decorate the stage, shackled waitresses carefully carrying plates of drinks.
Scorn's eye twitches, forcing himself to remain calm, taking in his surroundings. As he collects his thoughts, a man walks onto the stage and starts the auction, seeming to be the man running the business. "Might have some questions for him later.." Drow remarks.
"Alright, looks like that's it." Drow nods towards a door to the side, the occasional employee stepping through it. "Doesn't seem to be guarded." *He strokes his beard in thought before the drow raises her hand "Alright, I can make us both invisible for a bit, hopefully we'll be able to find the records before it ends. Ready?"
The pair slip invisibly inside. Doors lining the walls as they search through the hallway. Peeking in each door, one of which being a large tunnel they assume is for smuggling, yet most of it is storage rooms. a great deal of the storage being people held in cages.
Scorn is stopped from action by a hand on his shoulder, looking back at the drow as she shakes her head "We can make a plan to bust them out after, and besides Scorn.. you're not bulletproof. Maybe get the council in on it, just focus on finding Wuhmi for now." He solemnly nods, looking forward to coming back here and causing a scene.
They hug the walls as a few guards pass them by without a clue of their presence. They wait for them to leave out of earshot, before entering the last door, clearly being an office of some sort.
Paintings and lavish furnishings fill the room, the desk alone likely costing more than Scorn has ever carried. Without wasting a second, they begin their search, flipping through papers, and searching through drawers
"Ahah! Bills of sale once again!" Scorn proudly proclaims, flipping through them, his expression slowly sinking "this can't be right.. there's got to be more..." A frustrated sigh slips out from the wizard. All the sales are coded, disguised as normal objects.
"Painting by ___ 1 platinum, leviathan leather purse 370 gold, great wyrm egg 10 platinum sold to estate of Dupree.." Scorn places his face in his hands, briefly processing before standing up. "lets see if our auctioneer would be so kind as to just tell us."
Scorn and the drow stand in the group of buyers, staring at the stage, trying to think of an opening.. till one is presented. The auctioneer bringing on his next good. "Alright folks we've got a REAL treat on our hands here, a Girallon!"
He pulls a tarp off a tall cage after its wheeled up to him, the metal shaking as the beast inside roars. A large, 4 armed ape grabbing at the metal bars, its body wounded and thin, clearly having been kept weak for safety. The auctioneer rambles on about the beast, and starts the bidding.
Scorn's eyes widen slightly as an idea crosses his mind. "Drow, I need you to turn invisible, and grab the auctioneer, I'm gonna cause a distraction."
She quickly nods, slinking off and turning invisible, climbing up the wall with her enchanted armor, hanging off the ceiling right above the auctioneer, while Scorn gets closer to the stage.
Scornajis points forward, concentrating deeply as he points at the lock, an invisible stream of incredibly cold air coming forth from his finger tip, freezing the lock from a distance.. till it snaps.
"2 platinum! Do i hear 3? 3 plati...num.." The auctioneer looks to the side at the beast he was selling as the Girallon grabs the door to its cage, and pushes it open, the lock clattering to the floor as the beast steps out, the room falling silent.
"..g-..GUARDS!" The auctioneer yells before he gets promptly backhanded by the ape, sending him flying across the stage. The girallon roars, leaping forth into the crowd and throwing around the buyers like toys.
In the midst of the chaos, drow drops from the ceiling. Silently landing next to the wounded auctioneer, lifting him up as he vanishes in her illusion.
Scorn smiles at the scene, quite proud of the outcome of his plan, before holding open the door to the hallway, silent footsteps passing him as the drow walks through, followed shortly by Scorn himself. They take the previously identified smuggling route, the long tunnel empty of noise besides Scorn's heavy footsteps.
it takes several minutes until they find the exit, after which they're greeted by cloudy skies and rolling hills as they exit the tunnel. Scorn takes a deep breathe allowing fresh air to fill his lungs.
He looks to the side at the drow, the unconscious auctioneer hanging from her grasp. He pulls his shrunken scrying orb from his robe, enlarging it and contacting Lex.
*Scorn and the drow take a seat in a nearby grove of trees, and collectively let out a sigh.
"..im going to have to teach Wuhmi to fight better."

2024.05.17 11:06 SarahGreen110 Should I just chill or is my gut feeling right?

I recently matched with a guy (30) on Bumble and I'd say we immediately hit it off. He asked me for a coffee walk the day after we matched. The coffee walk turned into a 4 hours date with lot of laughter and plenty to talk about.
Already during the first meet up he asked me for a second date and after the date he immediately messaged me, that he had a lot of fun and can't wait to see me again.
Unfortunately he went on a 10 days trip 2 days after the first meet up, but we kept in touch. We messaged each other once a day but always long paragraphs. He once didn't get back to me for almost 3 days after he initially asked me to meet up the day after his return. So I told him, that I would be free that day but that he doesn't seem very interested (without saying why I feel like that). He message back that he's sorry for giving this impression while he's not regularly responding during his trip, but he's interested and would love to see me again. That was fine to me then.
Two days ago we had our second date, we went for darts in a Pub. We had an amazing evening of about 6 hours until 1.30 am. We also kissed, kissed about an hour on a bench in a park in the end. But then he said he'd love to spend the night with me and to me this is at least an orange flag on a second date. I told him that I find it a little odd that he's asking me this but he said, its just because he had such a wonderful evening and he can't even stop kissing me (of course he couldn't, we were horny haha). U told him that I don't go with him tonight.
Again he asked me out for the next date during this date.
From my past experienced, when a man likes a woman and had a great date, he would message her in the morning. But he didn't. But to be fair, the night before he messaged me, that he had a great evening and good night and I only said good night to him too. But I was still confused that he asked me to go with him, that's why I didn't react to it.
I decided to ask him around noon how he feels (because we did drink a little and a felt a little hungover at work). He was online from time to time but left my message unread until the evening. To me a bad sign if you're seriously interested. When he then replied I told him, that my hangover was very much worth it. He said his hungover too. I then asked what he's up to and she he's flying to London the next day (today).
Until now these messages are unread.
I don't really get it. Or maybe I get it.
I think someone who's interested (seriously) would open the message at least when he's in bed. Why would I leave someone's messages unread if I'm interested in this person romantically? I get that you don't always respond during the day. Everyone is busy and has a life. But when I#M on WhatsApp anyways and when I'm interested, then I would reply more that soon, not? Or am I just odd (I was in a relationship for 8 years and new to dating again). I will ask him next week when we meet up, but until now I'd like to hear some thoughts from your side.

2024.05.17 11:01 MrsTaco18 Breast Pump Induction at 38+1: positive unmedicated birth

I never see any posts about breast pump inductions so I wanted to share my experience!
For some background, my first labour was a precipitous labour at 38+5, and we live an hour from the hospital. I made it there at 10cm just in time to push. Because of this, my midwife had advocated for a planned home birth or induction to avoid an accidental unattended home or car birth. I initially wanted a home birth but my husband wasn’t comfortable with that so we took it off the table. I didn’t love the idea of inducing either but we kept this option open.
I went to see the midwife on May 5 to be checked. I was 38+1. At this appointment, I was 4cm and baby was already pushing into the birth canal. My midwife was very uncomfortable with the idea of us driving back home, knowing how fast this baby would come and how close I was to labour. So we decided to try the breast pump and see what happened!
Within 5 minutes of pumping, I started having contractions. We did an hour on the pump (15 mins on, 5 off). I could talk through the contractions but they did start to get more intense and closer together. My midwife suggested we break my water, so we did that and within minutes my contractions went full force, the same as with my first labour. We left for the hospital which was 5 minutes away.
Once at the hospital the contractions were coming strong and fast. I remember asking my midwife to check to see if I should be pushing yet and she said she would check me at 6:00. She got me a TENS machine, but it wasn’t even in place yet before I felt an extremely strong urge to push. My husband said he could see baby’s head! I wasn’t ready to push, I was still wearing my nice robe and socks, and I had wanted to get the squat bar set up like I did with my first, but there was no time. 10 minutes later baby girl was out and in my arms.
I remember trying my hardest to control my pushes to avoid tearing, and it worked! Fighting the urge to get her out NOW was so difficult but I managed to pace it with small pushes with help from the midwife. She was in my arms at 5:45, which was about 40 minutes after we arrived at the hospital and an hour after my water broke.
I am so happy we chose to induce labour with the pump so we could do it in a controlled way with my midwife there through it all. I also felt it was a very natural way to induce, using my body’s own oxytocin, and it was clear how ready my body was to deliver. Rather than forcing labour I felt like we gently nudged it, and my body took it from there.
Baby Amelia has been absolutely perfect so far and I’ve been lucky to have an easy recovery. We will be celebrating her due date this weekend and she’ll be two weeks old already. If I end up having a third child I will absolutely plan another induction this way!

2024.05.17 11:00 AutoModerator Weekly Newcomer Questions, Support, Vents & Victories

As the community continues to grow and attract people who are just figuring this all out, we've decided to change the weekly thread focus to be more open and encourage newcomer questions and support. Please use this thread if you are seeking support or have newcomer questions. Want to see if your post topic has been discussed here? Type "subreddit:cptsd" after a search term in the search bar (ex. "friendships subreddit:cptsd"). Here are some common newcomer questions:
If you are new to CPTSD: Please check out the rules below, and for our mobile users who can't access the sidebar, more resources are located below the rules. These can also be accessed from the auto mod message that greets any post.
Keep the rules in mind when you post & comment:
  1. This is a peer support community. Be a supportive peer.
  2. Don’t ask for diagnosis, don’t diagnose others: Respect that you may not have all of OPs details and even a trained, trauma informed care provider cannot diagnose over the internet. So don't. Assume the context of OP as a CPTSD survivor or supportive partner of a CPTSD survivor.
  3. No hate speech
  4. Please be mindful about triggering content. Avoid graphic thread titles, and use [Trigger Warning], NSFW and/or the spoiler tag whenever appropriate.
  5. No RaisedByNarcissists lingo: A lot of folks come from the RBN support community. A lot of us do not. To keep the sub inclusive to CPTSD newcomers and survivors of different backgrounds, use common language synonyms for RBN acronyms. There are some exceptions.
  6. All content must be CPTSD related: Our lives, our struggles, and our victories with CPTSD.
  7. No Self-Promotion: Don't sell stuff or recruit for studies and projects without explicit mod approval. This thread is an exception; in the Vents & Victories thread, you may self-promote blogs, videos, and other media you created.
BIPOC
We recognize that healing communities such as CPTSD are not exempt from the insidious impacts of racism, whether overt or covert (for example, invalidating, minimizing, or microaggressive comments made by those with good intentions). In these cases, we encourage users to report the comments as Rule #3 violations. Because of the subreddit's high profile and open nature, this problem will continue to be with us, and we therefore can only promise a "safe-ish" environment for BIPOC. Racial trauma will always be on topic here at /CPTSD, but BIPOC users that want a more closed space can make use of /cptsd_bipoc. Thank you to the mod team at /cptsd_bipoc for helping us write this verbiage.

2024.05.17 10:52 Locus_Natit How to download PvZ Hybrid Mod

How to download PvZ Hybrid Mod

Intro

As we all know this mod was originally created by 潜艇伟伟迷 on bilibili, and the link he posted need to login with Chinese phone number to download all the files. So it's really tough for us to get access to it. But recently I've found a way to download it with an email address and your cellphone (better Android, I have no Apple devices).

Preparations

Before we start, you should have this two apps downloaded on your cellphone: Alipay and Quark Browser (夸克). Basically Alipay is a Chinese version of PayPal, and Quark Browser is a Browser App famous in China, but it isn't available on Google Play, so we choose to download it on it's official site. Visit the website with your cellphone browser and the click the blue button to download the application installer as follows.
How to download Quark Browser on the website
The installed Apps

Alipay Sign Up

Note: if you have QQ\WeChat\Weibo or Taobao account, you can pass this section and jump to Quark Login
After we had the two Apps installed, we ca start with opening the Alipay. Select "Sign up" and select "Sign up with email", then use your own email address to complete signup. After you signed up, the app would ask your country, you can select as your preferences, and then it's all done for registration.
Alipay Sign Up

Quark Login

Then we go to Quark Browser, on your first open, it will popup a policy window, click the blue one to proceed. After entered the main menu, click the button on the bottom-right, and login via Alipay (or if you have QQ\WeChat\Weibo\Taobao account would also be ok). The application would automatically jump to Alipay and you should click agree to login.
Quark Login

Find Download Link

The original mod was published on bilibili, it's also suggested to go to bilibili to get the link. But the author also has an account on YouTube, so you can also find the link on it, though it may be a little bit out-of-date.
Note: the author has just published v2.0.88 of the Mod, you can find the link on the bilibili video description.

Download Link

Download File with Quark Browser

Once you have copied the link, you can go to Quark Browser, the app will automatically recognize the share link, and guide you to the download page. You can also paste the link manually. Click "Save", and the browser will save it to your account. Then, hold the saved file and click "下载" to download it to your cellphone. Once it's done, you can go to your profile page to view the location of the downloaded file as shown in the picture, and transfer it to your PC with a USB Cable.
Download Files

Ending

For version 2.0.0 and above, the author had integrated it within a installer file. All you need is to double-click the program and install it as you want.
Installer Options
Sadly the game hasn't have an English localization there, so you can just play it in Chinese. But I think actually it's ok to play without knowing what the game is saying lol.
Enjoy!
PostScript: Actually at first I thought writhing such a tutorial would be easy, but it proved to be a time-consuming issue. Anyway, it's finished now and feel free to ask any questions you encountered. Wish all of you a good day!
There are no similar tutorial posts, aren't they?

2024.05.17 10:52 KoalaStrats Ewok hunt be like

The Battle of Endor was over. The once mighty Galactic Empire lay shattered, its troops scattered across the moon's forested surface. As night fell, a small group of stormtroopers huddled together in a makeshift shelter. Their white armor, once a symbol of fear and order, was now scuffed and battered, offering little protection against the unknown dangers lurking in the darkness.
Sergeant Rax peered out into the dense forest, his blaster rifle gripped tightly in his hands. "Keep your eyes open," he whispered to his remaining men. "The Ewoks are out there. They know these woods better than we do."
Private Kellen shivered, not from the cold but from fear. He had seen what those seemingly primitive creatures could do. "Sergeant, what if they come for us? We don't stand a chance out here."
"We stick together and keep moving," Rax replied, trying to sound more confident than he felt. "If we stay put, we're sitting ducks."
Suddenly, a rustling sound echoed through the trees. The stormtroopers froze, their blasters trained on the shadows. The moonlight cast eerie patterns on the forest floor, and every shifting leaf seemed to hide a threat.
Corporal Vess, the squad's scout, moved ahead, his eyes scanning for any sign of the enemy. He paused, pointing to a barely visible tripwire. "Booby traps. They're trying to herd us into a kill zone."
"Then we outsmart them," Rax said, determination hardening his voice. "Vess, find us a path through."
Vess nodded and began leading the group through a series of careful steps, avoiding the traps set by their furry adversaries. The night was alive with the sounds of the forest, each one making the stormtroopers more jumpy. They knew the Ewoks were watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Hours passed as they trudged through the undergrowth, the weight of their armor and fear wearing them down. Just when they thought they might have escaped the worst of it, a high-pitched war cry pierced the night. The Ewoks were upon them.
Small, agile figures darted from the trees, wielding spears and slingshots with deadly precision. The stormtroopers fired back, their blaster bolts lighting up the night. But for every Ewok they hit, two more seemed to take its place.
"Fall back!" Rax shouted, trying to form a defensive perimeter. But the Ewoks were relentless, their intimate knowledge of the terrain giving them the upper hand. One by one, the stormtroopers fell, overwhelmed by the sheer number of their attackers.
In the end, only Rax and Kellen were left, their backs against a massive tree trunk. Rax's blaster was empty, and Kellen was down to his last charge. The Ewoks circled them, their eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and vengeance.
"This is it, Kellen," Rax said, his voice resigned but not broken. "We fought well."
Kellen nodded, gripping his blaster tightly. "At least we go down fighting."

2024.05.17 10:49 MidniteManager Help: App on phone keeps opening Play store when I run it

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question. I currently have a Samsung M32, stock with no alterations. I do not have a Google account.
I installed an app from Aurora store, but whenever I open it it just immediately takes me to the Play store asking me to sign in. I cannot use the app at all, it immediately closes. The app worked previously.
Has anyone experienced this? I can't seem to find much info on it. Do I need to follow a guide to degoogle/install MicroG?
Thank you!
