2024.06.02 09:23 Naive_Possibility707 35M looking to make a new friend

Hello,
Here's my poor attempt to sell myself like a bad infomercial. My social circle is pretty much limited to people I work with due to being on that graveyard shift life.i wish I could complain about my job more than that but I actually enjoy it. I live in the US on the East Coast but grew up on the West Coast. I did spend some time in the army so i have lived a few other places for a short while. I have two high-energy dogs, an Australian shepherd mix age 5 and huskie mix age 4. I have a 2 year old son, who may become some kind of dictator with the way he bosses me around. I do enjoy cooking and making new dishes, but I am by far the worst baker. I know you can find almost anything online but im still a sucker for cookbooks. My favorite TV show is the office, please don't say parks and rec is better. I've had many random jobs in the past, with even random stories to go along with. I'm a bit of a nerd, I have a comic collection and random Star Wars collectibles, but I'm not ashamed. I even have a shelf above my desk that gets rotated with my random collectibles. I have a few tattoos that have no meaning at all, and I plan on getting more soon. My music taste is stuck in the early 2000s rock, punk, indy and screamo. I do play video games at times tho my time is very limited. If you do choose to reach out please tell me something about yourself or if we have some things in common. The basic hello, hey, hi may be ignored

2024.06.02 09:22 Mysterious_Habit_945 being attracted to non-religious men.

I've noticed that most of the men I genuinely liked before are either atheists or Muslims who doesn't practice Islam.
Even though I try my best not to judge anyone for their beliefs, I can't help not to feel safer around non-religious men.
and because it’s kinda rare to find this type of men in our society, i find myself slightly Interested in any man who has anti-Islamic thoughts, and it’s getting weird, because i hate to be that person who can’t be interested in anyone that doesn’t share the same ideas.
I also end up being disappointed at the end, because men can fake being open-minded just to impress women.
and after getting to know them better، they will start showing their actual beliefs, and they expect you to accept it for some reason.
I just don't think that faking certain ideas to attract people with a different mindset should be acceptable.

2024.06.02 09:21 _aDay What should I do now? (2 years out of college, little purpose)

Gonna summarize my current situation in three bullet points.

I went to college for Game Design and got an Associate's degree after three years of study.
Haven't done much with it over the last two years and I feel like it's expired. Really focused on hobby projects and nothing much else.
Currently working in a crappy, minimum wage job. No internships, no connections, etc.

After hearing that I technically have "no life," it really made me think about what I should do next. When it comes to education, I feel like the Associate's degree at this point is basically worthless. Considering that people that'll interview me will ask "What have you been doing for 2 years?"
I've been thinking of going back to college for certifications. Though, I fear that I might waste another 2-4 years if I don't do anything… Then there's the degree. If I ever choose to get one.
I'm stuck between going for another one in Game Development or one in Computer Science. I'm not even sure if it's even the career I really wanna go for. Even if I still like the idea of myself making games that I enjoy.
I'm also not sure if I should do personal projects, even if it doesn't involve game design, or just focus on stuff that'll earn me a living. As said from one of my peers. Would kind of suck if I have to sacrifice that because there's one in mind that I really want to do, but have gotten stuck from either from lack of confidence or what a friend mentioned to be "analysis paralysis" from simply overthinking everything...
Fellow game devs who're in the position they want, working towards such, or anything I guess, what advice would you give me? Are there any other places I could reach out? Feel free to ask any questions. No worries if there's nothing you can say.

2024.06.02 09:21 _iluvcats everyone is better than me and it makes me suicidal

For context, I (16M) am a student in the US who is halfway through high school. my siblings go to top colleges and im expected to follow the same path. I used to be a 4.0 straight A student, but within a year I really fell off. I know have D’s and C’s and it concerns me since I have to apply for colleges next year. Many people I know from my school are extremely involved and have internships and really good GPAs. Like, everyone in my grade on average took one AP but theres this kid who took four APs and 6 college courses already. Like what the heck? I dont really do much in school. I dont do sports or any summer programs or anything. My only activities are involvement in two clubs and an academic competition, but i kinda sucked at it. My social life is falling apart as well. In my friend group, I don’t feel like a main character. I just sort of stand to the side during hangouts. some of them treat me like im a toddler or if i was special. along with that, my family is extremely disappointed in me as well for not meeting expectations in grades. Overall, i just feel so useless. within the past year, i was extremely lazy and couldnt get out of bed to do homework or to study; and now im facing the consequences. I have had suicidal thoughts before, but they were passive and not often. sophomore year however was the first time I actually considered doing it. Every single night i laid in bed, homework unfinished on my desk, thinking of ending it all. ive sh’ed deeper as well. Summer has started already and my stress was gone, until i found out people in my grade are doing internships. now im back to my usual state of self guilt and incompetence to those around me. I wanna say im scared, but now I just dont care about things anymore. Ive been eating a lot because I dont care. Ive been skipping on homework because I dont care. i dont care because i feel like nothing matters if I kill myself anyway. Despite this though, theres another part of me that wants to live this out just to see what happens. But im afraid that if i keep going this route Ill end up working a low paying job and end up homeless unable to pay bills…..
idk, my self esteem is really low rn andi just wanted to get things off my chest because my friends arent really reliable for venting lol (and i dont wanna bother them or be annoying about it or anything)

2024.06.02 09:21 elliebaker243 Strange kitten behaviour

Hi all, 4 weeks ago, I brought home two 8 week old kittens from the same litter. Both girls, either calico or tortoishell. For the first 2 weeks, they were both quite reserved, as to be expected, as we also have a dog and they've been getting used to each other (the dog is good with cats and does not chase, but does want to play, which can scare them). Anyway, Bean is a lot more confident than her sister, Goose, and will happily play with us or alone, will approach the dog, never fails to use the litter box, will meow for attention etc, all normal behaviour. Goose, however, is really volatile. Just this morning, she approached me, purring and rubbing herself all over me, let me pick her up for a cuddle, she does this most mornings when she wants feeding. But then I put her down, and she suddenly hid from me under the bed and started growling, ears right back, pupils massive, so obviously terrified, but I've no idea why. I see this kind of behaviour from her multiple times a day, she seems to swing from confident and affectionate, to terrified with no obvious triggers, and he sister is not the same. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated, as I'm absolutely stumped.

2024.06.02 09:21 phoenixking6931 Anyone want to have a philosophy penpal?

Hi - 25M - and I recently made a post on [](), but I thought I'd go straight to the source since I've had trouble finding people with an interest specifically in philosophy. I hope that this is an appropriate question - I won't mind if this post is deleted. I'm fairly new to the field, as an amateur - I just started reading/notetaking Anthony Kenny's "A New History of Western Philosophy", because I want to get a broad overview of the field before I pick an area to specialize in. Not as a professional, just a passion project. When I was less serious, I started with the existentialists (Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Camus, etc.) Kierkegaard is my favorite, and my favorite work is EitheOr. I also have a bit of a morbid fascination with people like Schopenhauer.
So I'm looking for people to communicate with one-on-one about what I'm working on, and hopefully what you're working on. I want to read, write, everything. Bonus points if you have some expertise and can critique me. Send me a DM if you're interested! Those are the essentials; the info below is just flavortext to give you a sense of what I'm about - you can skip it if you want.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite not taking a dominant position in the academic world today - except as historical legacy - I have a fascination with the continentals. In the analytical tradition, the main value of the material derives from the information being communicated, as you would expect. It is communicated with clarity. In continental philosophy, however, the main points and arguments are intentionally obfuscated. It is not just about the information communicated, but the way it is communicated. This has the interesting effect of the material speaking to your soul and not just your mind. It is vague, it is mysterious, it beckons the reader into an unending labyrinth of thought that simultaneously goes nowhere and teaches you everything. Kierkegaard's EitheOr is built from two parts. Part A is a lure - it promises sympathy as paltry compensation for a desolate universe. Part B is a knife - it is a betrayal that robs you of sympathy and chastises you for even choosing to take part in it. It compels you to stand on your two feet and consider your own life choices without the defenses of sympathy and victimhood. EitheOr is a cell virus - Part A is the surface proteins that allow the virus access, Part B is the payload. It is an effect that cannot be achieved through clarity, while the reader has their defenses up.
The world to me is hopelessly heteronomous, that is, the opposite of autonomous. When was the last time you made a decision that was really your own? When you were last confronted with a difficult choice, did you not choose to act on behalf of either your social group or your own automatic biology? Did you do what you really wanted to do? Or was what you wanted, itself, something you didn't really want? Schopenhauer talks about a unified Will - a world made of desire - which is forced to fragment itself into subject and object so that it can have a real existence, but this has a side-effect. Now, instead of there being one Will, one desire, the fragmented Will is made of multiple desires, which come into conflict with each other, causing pain and frustration. Is this not what the social world is? When you dream of a harmonious utopia - everyone being in sync with one another - are you not knowingly naive? Suppose we made a constitution, or a transhuman hivemind, that forced everyone into sync - would we not be upholding a facade of cooperation while secretly scheming against one another? Is this not the optimal strategy? Is this not what we do already? Are your friends really your friends? When you selectively breed fruit fly populations for lowest population size - an analogy for humans working together with the shared goal of avoiding overpopulation - you select for infanticide rather than cooperation. So, when you compulsively act on behalf of your social network, do you not also wish you could act otherwise? Have you ever dreamed of a world devoid of all intelligent life but yourself - a reunified Will with no obstacles? An entire culture packaged into one superhuman mind?
These thoughts are repulsive and dangerous if taken the wrong way, so I'll try to end on a more positive note. I'm bipolar in my assessment of the world - on one hand, I dream of a solitary Nietzschean superman, and on the other I feel called to ethics and responsibilities and compassion with one another. It would be a disgrace to Kierkegaard if I were to say otherwise. I do not know how to resolve the tension between these two ideals. I've been thinking about a humanistic psychologist named Dabrowski who said that most of us go through life in blissful selfishness - we further our own interests and are happy doing so. In contrast, some of us fall away - disintegrate - in response to the tension between what is and what ought to be. We find fault with our own biology and embark on an antibiological quest to cultivate a higher-order personality - one that is conscientious, compassionate, sensitive, prosocial, competent, creative, and intentional. I cannot possibly claim to be a paragon of virtue myself, but those rare individuals who serve higher purposes than themselves have all my admiration, and a little envy.

2024.06.02 09:21 Beautiful_Throat_536 How to be consistent in breaking the unhealthy obsessive thoughts and the constant stalking habit? I'm hyperaware of all of this, yet I still can't stop cold turkey.

I can't stop thinking about my boyfriend's ex. I know this isn't right, and I realize that my perceptions are just that—perceptions. I'll explain how I'm fully aware that I'm wrong. I'm hyperaware of the situation—I know the problems and I know the possible solutions. I simply don't know how to stop comparing myself to her, stop stalking her on social media, and truly be consistent.
She's just beyond perfect and flawless in my eyes. Everything about her is so lovely and I adore her so much. From her looks, which I find strikingly gorgeous, to her intelligence (both academically and socially), her wit, humor, and sociopolitical awareness. She's incredibly creative and talented—she can sing, play instruments, draw, paint, design. She seems to come from a happy, loving family. She's so loved by everyone. To me, everything about her is just perfect.
However, I'm also well aware that this isn't right. I'm hyperaware of the situation, and I know this isn't right because:

No one deserves to be idealized and perceived as perfect. She's a human with flaws and struggles too. Idealizing her means I'm objectifying her, and that's not right. I even know that she's been struggling mentally, yet I still think she's perfect. I keep trying to humanize her, but it's so hard because in my head, she has it all.
Human beings aren't comparable. There's no way one could ever measure and make a chart comparing two individuals because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
I don't totally see myself as worthless. I know my value. In other people's eyes, I can be pretty, smart, and talented too. However, when it comes to comparing myself to her, I feel like I'm trash because in my head, she's like a godlike creature.
No one ever compares us. I'm the only one who does it. I don't crave reassurance or validation from my boyfriend or anyone because at this point, it doesn't even have anything to do with my relationship. She poses no threat to my relationship (for context, my relationship has been going great). The only problem is my excessive stalking of her social media because I want to be as perfect as I think she is. And yes, I know this has to do with my low self-esteem.
I've tried to shift the focus onto myself, but I ended up feeling like I'm doing it to prove that I'm better than her. I feel like a fraud and a copycat for doing things that she also does, even though we have similar hobbies and even similar tastes in the very first place.

I'm also aware of the possible solutions. I've been to therapy, I've talked to my friends about it, and they've given me really good advice. Yet, I can't stop comparing myself to her. It's like I can't get myself to commit to do what's best for me. It's like I can't stop tormenting myself.
I can't stop having her inside my brain. I think about her a little too much, and I put her on a pedestal a little too high.
Question: All I'm asking is, how do I put a stop to this? I've tried to stop cold turkey, but it only lasted three days or so. I've muted and blocked her, yet I always find a way to check on her again. I can't stop thinking that she's perfect, even though I know she isn't. How do I completely stop obsessing over her and be absolutely consistent in breaking this habit? I’m struggling to make lasting changes.
TL;DR: I can't stop obsessing over my boyfriend's ex. I idealize her as perfect, compare myself to her, and stalk her social media, even though I know it's unhealthy and all of my perceptions are all wrong. I've tried to stop but I can't be consistent doing it. Seeking advice on how to move past this habit.

2024.06.02 09:20 relesabe More real geniuses who are not Terrence Howard and the dangers of stupidity

One of the most interesting stories in the history of technology is the transatlantic telegraph cable. Well worth reading about its many failures and its eventual success.
Here is a story of the danger of stupidity:
One of the great geniuses of the 19th century is Lord Kelvin (from whom we get the Kelvin temperature scale among other things).
Kelvin was one of the experts who was consulted about the cable. He was the first person I believe to mathematically analyze how signals were sent through wires -- Heaviside built on this, btw.
He understood the things that for example caused signals to sort of interfere with themselves. And with the telegraph, with no modern electronics, just a cable through which you can either send a current or not, any sort of interference that prevents distinguishing a dot from a slightly longer dash (that's all Morse code had to work with) obviously causes errors and the need to retransmit (and that only happens when the receiver requests a retransmit). Bottom line, the first messages were achingly slow, like 16 hours for the 99-word message sent from Queen Victoria to the US President Buchanan. Of course, prior to this time, information could travel no faster than a steamship, so even 5 words per hour (maybe one character per minute) was amazing.
However, the transmission speed started to go down. There were all sorts of possibilities for this, considering that the cable ran for 2000 miles along the ocean floor. Maybe the seawater combined with electricity caused gradual damage to the cable.
Another consultant was a former doctor who had become interested in electricity. His big idea was to simply put in greater voltage (Kelvin had developed a very sensitive device called the Mirror Galvanometer and he argued against bumping up the voltage.) The doctor was listened to despite Kelvin's arguments and he got them to put 2000 volts through -- this rendered the cable permanently useless and another had to be laid using two separate ships which met somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic to make splice.
Kelvin of course had experimented to derive his theories about signal transmission and prior to putting all this juice through, why did not the company experiment, even on land, and determine whether "bigger was better"?
I don't know, maybe the ex-doctor talked loud or had influential friends -- but that did not make him right.
We need to listen to people who know what they are talking about, not some dope who comes up with a theory that made ND Tyson tell Terrence Howard not to contact him further with his "theories."
Science is built on a rigorous process and is validated by experiment -- a theory is important if it can make predictions.
Just what prediction have a single one of the "theories" or whatever Howard calls them made? Not a single one. He has no educational qualifications, no scientist takes him seriously. I hope the transatlantic cable story illustrates the dangers of listening to silly (and lazy) people.
Another genius was James Clerk Maxwell whose equations formed the basis for relativity as I understand it. I chuckle thinking of his response to Terrence Howard. And note that even nearly two hundred years ago, real scientists already were far ahead of where Howard is -- or maybe I am wrong and Howard really mastered contemporary mathematics before spouting his revolutionary ideas that were supposed to overturn all modern science and math.

2024.06.02 09:19 wontforget99 Good stack for simple but scalable android/iOS/mobile web app?

I haven't done web or app development in many years. My current career has nothing to do with it.
However, I have an idea I would like to implement, but I am a little bit confused about the best way to do it these days.
Server-side, in 2024 (back in the day I would have gone with PHP + MySQL on a random web hosting service), it seems like AWS Lambda + AWS DynamoDB + Node.js is one possible good way to go.
On the UI side, I basically want it to be easy to use this service from a phone. So, I guess a mobile website + Android App + iOS app would be ideal. I don't have a Mac so I can't make an iOS app. I'm not in the USA and have to use a proxy to download Android Studio, and I've already encountered issues with it and it seems like it's going to be a massive headache.
So, I figured I could do one of these 2024 moves which is to make a mobile website that, if I rely on certain libraries, could basically directly be exported into an Android App and iPhone app as well.
However, on the front end side, for making a mobile website + Android App + iPhone app where I don't have a Mac and live in a country where I need a proxy to access many normal Android things and it seems to cause issues, I'm not sure what the normal tech stack for this is. Ionic? React Native? React Native + React Native Expo? There are other toolkits like Onsen? I don't want to waste time writing a bunch of UI components from scratch for a mobile website - and THEN, even worse, having to rewrite them from scratch again for an Android app and iPhone app.
I'm also much more comfortable with web development in general than with Android development, and I have never even done iPhone development.
In the Ionic subreddit, someone mentioned "PWAs." I'm not too familiar with these, but if this basically just means making a mobile website that people can install and use as a regular app, then that potentially seems like a wonderful solution. (Note: this website/app may involve the user's location, camera, photo access, payments, creating an account)
Any advice?

2024.06.02 09:19 abinormal17 Only child, shy adult, starting to affect relationship

Hi. I don't even know where to start... my thoughts are all over the place... I'm an only child who grew up very close to my parents. And I would say I had a great childhood with parents who were very attentive to my needs. Sure I was sheltered for most of it but my life was pretty good. My parents made sure I joined a lot of activities and had hobbies to make sure I wasn't bored. But I got used to doing most things alone. Most of my hobbies are things I can do solo. I've always been okay alone but I've also had a good friend group growing up in a private school that I've kept through adulthood and who I know are always there for me. Despite this, ive always craved the bond that siblings have with each other. Home was usually quiet and I was never one to talk a lot. Growing up, I was extremely extremely shy. I was always that kid that hid behind her mom or wouldn't know what to say to most people. I was the cousin who was always in the corner with her nose in a book and would always have a hard time having conversation with even my own extended family. To this day i still dont really talk to my cousins. I feel very lucky to have the small friend group that I do have from elementary school. But I tend to be picky with who I let in my circle. Another thing about being really shy, I've always had a hard time talking to people whether it be on the phone to make an appointment or order food, or talking to new people in social events. I always feel so awkard or embarrassed. I've also never dated in my younger years. My first bf was in college and I am currently with my 2nd bf as a 28year old adult. The problem that I've currently been having is my shyness has started to get in the way of how I interact with my partner's family. My partner is also a different ethnicity and his parents dont speak much english. With their culture, they have a certain way of addressing each other and my partner has asked me to address them in a particular way. However, no matter how much I want to address them that way, my shyness physically hinders me from saying it. I've already struggled calling the parents auntie and uncle, but I don't know why I cannot bring myself to address them in their language. The thing is in my family, I also am unable to speak my own language due to my shyness despite knowing it fluently. Growing up I had cousins who would make fun of me for trying to speak myown language, and ever since then, I've had this mental block where I know exactly how to say it in my head, but the words will not physically come out due to embarrassment? I have no idea what this block is. But it is now starting to affect my relationship when I try to address them in their language. I keep thinking what is wrong with me? Is it just me or is it because I've been shy my whole life, or is it because I'm an only child that lacks that person that was supposed to tease the embrassement out of me or push me out of my comfort zone? I've always felt weird being an only child. Everytime I see other people interacting with their siblings, it feels like a punch to the stomach reminding me I don't have anyone I could relate to. I don't know if anyone else feels this way. But I know there's been a lot of things I can trace back to being an only child. The way I am, the way I interact with people, the lack of communication skills, the anxiety that I constantly feel... it feels like it's never ending. I know my post may be all over the place. I just want to know if I'm alone in this feeling or if anyone else can relate?

🔗AGM Taipan TM10-256 Thermal Imaging Monocular: Versatile Hunting Companion with High-Sensitivity Detector

https://preview.redd.it/2r9we72a044d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c78c5ba864ba38ee9812562d7e508bc270b773fb
I recently had the chance to use the AGM Taipan TM10-256 Thermal Imaging Monocular, and I must say, it was quite the experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the high-sensitivity built-in thermal detector. It allowed me to see even in complete darkness, which proved invaluable during my nighttime hike.
One of the standout features of this monocular was the hot spot mark. It detected and marked the hottest spot of the highest temperature, which came in handy when I needed to locate a warm area while camping. The mode switch, supporting both paddle switch and distance measurement, also made the device versatile and easy to use in various scenarios.
However, there were a few areas where it could use some improvement. For instance, the instructions were not user-friendly, making it a bit challenging to figure out how to use the device initially. Additionally, the lens protection only came with one end, which would have been more convenient with protection on both sides. Finally, the thermals had difficulty penetrating glass, which I noticed when using it in a room with large windows.
Despite these minor issues, I found the monocular to be an excellent investment for those who need an efficient, reliable thermal device. Its clear view and ability to detect hot spots make it a valuable tool for hunting, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

As a reviewer, I've been using the AGM Rattler TC35-640 in my daily life. This compact thermal imaging clip-on system transforms my day optics into a thermal imaging device, without any need for special tools or equipment.

The product's applicability extends to patrolling and hunting scenarios.
The Rattler TC35-640 is easily attached to rifle scopes with magnification up to 8x for long-range use. Its onboard Wi-Fi module allows for live video streaming and recording of videos and images via an app. Overall, the AGM Rattler TC35-640 has been a reliable and user-friendly addition to my toolkit.

Having used the AGM Global Vision PVS-7 night vision goggles for a while now, I can confidently say that this device truly stands out in its field. As someone who frequently spends time outdoors, I've found the goggles to be incredibly reliable and efficient.
One aspect that blew me away was the automatic brightness control.

The recording function and built-in 16 GB EMMC were great for saving memorable moments during my outdoor activities.

The AGM Wolf-7 Pro NL1 Night Vision Goggle has definitely made quite an impression in my life. I use it mostly when I sneak out for late-night hikes, and it has come in quite handy.
The low battery indicator is always flashing, but I've never run out of power during a hike. My favorite feature might be the automatic brightness control - infrared illuminator is a must.
Despite the brightness, it has a pretty low power consumption and can last for up to 40 hours on alkaline batteries when infrared is off. But if you need it, there's an inbuilt infrared illuminator that can deliver an impressive performance - bright enough to light up the darkest forest, but not visible to the naked eye. The diopter adjustment is simple and intuitive to use, and the focus range is adequate for a variety of distances, even under low light conditions.
Additionally, the built-in LED indicators are a great added touch to keep track of the battery life and infrared status.

In the world of rugged, lightweight multi-purpose night vision devices, the AGM NVG-40 3AW1 Dual Tube Night Vision Goggle/Binocular stands out as a trusty companion. Having used this device in various challenging environments, I can attest to its durability and performance in the dark.
The NVG Interface Shoe, a preinstalled feature, enables seamless installation onto standard dovetail-type headset and helmet mounts, providing a secure fit for all-night operations. The Bayonet/Horn Interface Shoe, which is included, accomplishes the same task for standard bayonet/horn-type headset and helmet mounts.

As a night vision enthusiast, I recently had the chance to test out the AGM NVG-40 NW1 Night Vision Goggles. These goggles pack a punch when it comes to performance and features.
First off, the image quality is exceptional. The image intensifier tube with Gen 2+ "White Phosphor Level 1" technology provides a clear and bright image, just like daylight. I could easily spot animals and other objects in low-light conditions, making them perfect for wildlife viewing or nighttime surveillance.
One highlight of these goggles is the adjustable diopter, which allows you to fine-tune the image focus to your eyes. This was a game-changer for me as it ensured a sharp and comfortable view, even after prolonged use.
Now, let's talk about the battery life - it blew me away! 80 hours of continuous use on a single battery, now that's impressive. It's perfect for those long nighttime adventures where you don't want to worry about carrying extra batteries.
However, there were a couple of things I wished were better. The field of view (40°) could have been wider, as it sometimes felt a bit constricting when trying to track moving objects. Also, the head mount was a bit tricky to set up, but once I got it right, it worked well.
Overall, the AGM NVG-40 NW1 Night Vision Goggles are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for top-notch night vision technology without breaking the bank. Their performance, durability, and features make them a great value for the price.

I recently tried out the AGM Voyage LRF TB75-640 Thermal Binoculars, and let me tell you, it's quite the impressive piece of equipment. Out in the field, the binoculars served as my trusty sidekick, helping me locate and identify all kinds of objects.
One feature that really stood out for me was the dual-spectrum image fusion and object highlight. It made it incredibly easy to enhance details and recognize targets. The optical resolution of 2560x1440 was also a game-changer, ensuring sharp images even in the most challenging environments – think smoke, fog, rain, and snow. The NETD less than 20 mK was a powerful feature, making it possible to detect heat signatures from great distances.
However, there were a few downsides too. While the 12lb weight was manageable, I couldn't help but wish it were just a tad more lightweight for extended use. The same went for the 1024x768 OLED display; it was a bit low-resolution compared to what I'm accustomed to.
Overall, the AGM Voyage LRF TB75-640 Thermal Binoculars are a great tool if you're in the market for thermal imaging equipment. They're versatile, user-friendly, and offer fantastic image quality. Just remember that the weight and display resolution might be less than ideal for some users.

Years pass. You’re alone. You have no one. The people who said you’d have forever have gone their own way. Either by drugs or shitty life turns they couldn’t control. You’re alone in your room staring at the ceiling or browsing this subreddit, hoping to help someone besides yourself, because you hate yourself. What do you do? You just hope to get past it, knowing you can’t. But it’s fine. You don’t deserve help or love, right?
We hate life. We do. There’s no lie there. But we have to push through, for one reason or another. I miss my two best friends from High school; Cassie and Dakota. Maybe one day, we can reconcile.

2024.06.02 09:17 TheWitcher76 Its stupid to act like the United States shift away from free-range parenting is paranoid

Just that. Everyone who was a free-range kid from 60s-90s and so on I see on reddit keeps acting like the fact people are not a bit more cautious about the freedoms they give their kids are "helicopter parents" and how this generation is "coddled" and "paranoid". Some romanticized vision of the past is all i see brought up when the topic of "free range parenting" is thrown around; and accusations of helicoptering to anyone who disagrees.
So the people whose parents let them wander around without boundaries for the entire freaking day often as young as 5 years old and barely actually interacted with their kids are now proclaiming how irresponsible parents are by supersing their children? It kind of hard to make a uniform argument as the context and reaoblaibty of free-roaming kids varies a ton form place to place (things like age, maturity, safety of area, etc.) but like how is being a bit more cautious a bad thing?
So nothing bad ever came of giving kids borderline infinite freedom? No one ever wanders into a construction site, forest, or some other risky as place and such, including after dark. Its somehow okay the parents are literally kicking the kids out of the house just so they don't have to interact with them? Nothing bad ever happened ever happened at this? All the severe injury, death, bad habits picked up, etc that never seemed to get mentioned that was a consequence of unsupervised kids under ten roaming around without any sort of guidance. Its hard to say how common that was but it most certainly did happen and there was precedent; is that something to just dismiss? Is taking steps to avoid that really such a bad thing?
Need I add all the lingering issues such kids suffer from neglect, lack of guidance,or boundaries? Or how people commonly dismissed injuries back then because they "toughen up?"
Crimes rates went down? Why do you freaking think? Because everyone has phones to call for help and takes more precautions; that's what actually makes things safer.
Yes overprotective people exist, ys some laws went a bit overboard. You could say the same about certain parents with free roaming. Its all about balancing stuff; letting kids do whatever without supervision isn't the only way to get them to learn independence.
Between people bragging what is basically neglect like its a badge of honor.
TLDR: Its stupid to act like letting little kids wander for most of the day with no supervision and no boundaries was this infallible idea we should return to, as well as ignoring all the issues that were part of that. Calling people actually spending time with and supervising their kids more "paranoid" is laughable coming form the generations who barely showed concern for any sort of safety.

2024.06.02 09:17 SummerWind470 How did we get from “warrior of the people” to war giraffe?

From the gutter man entry we know that each machine in the final war was built to stop the previous one.
So hit me with your ideas of what they might be.
Gutterman was designed first.
Guttertank have a large punch to break the gutterman shield and has rockets to shoot him from a distance.
“Warrior of the people” has the alt shotgun for an arm allowing it to quickly advance to the guttertank and take it out. (Maybe other features we don’t know about)
The next machine would probably be a large net trap or something that catches “warrior id the people”
The next machine might be a drone of some kind that detects the net trap.
The next machine would be an anti aircraft machine.
The next machine could be a big version of a sentry but instead of a sniper it fires a rocket.
And so on and so on
What are some of your ideas that might lead to an earthmover.

2024.06.02 09:17 savethecoralreefs Blamed his ADHD but exposed himself cheating

I (27F) matched with a guy (28M) on one of the dating apps, however he lived in a different city than me. We quickly hit it off and had so many things in common. We would facetime or regularly text for two months. At one point we discussed exclusivity, which he brought up first, and I was happy to agree to focus on growing our connection and not entertaining anyone else.
We planned to meet eachother, which had to be postponed until a few weeks later because I got sick and had a long antibiotic course. Anyways, during this time, i noticed his behavior changed and he became less responsive. He told me he has ADHD and would attribute his weird behavior to that.
I pointed it out few more times and finally he said he felt i changed my energy, which i was confused because i wasn't doing anything different, i apologized and told him maybe bc im sick and the meds. He said he understood and really wants us to workout. But his actions didn't align with that anymore, and he kept saying its ADHD. I started reading up on it bc i want to be considerate. He became forgetful of things and would take longer to respond but would say he feels neglected. I thought ok maybe ADHD as he always claims I kept reassuring him and continued developing feelings for him.
I was supposed to finally meet him in person last weekend. However a few days before, we got into an argument because he was being weird in his responses and I was annoyed so i wanted to cut the convo short. He said he wants to talk it out, but proceeded to just attack me. At this point i felt like i had enough and he started crossing the line so I respectfully said this wont work and we have different communication and expectations.
He got upset and proceeded to say very hurtful things, accusing me of never making time to finally meet him (which was planned for the next following days). He then proceeded to send me a screenshot of a text from a girl saying she was happy to see him again, from that same day. I was shocked
I was crushed. I still am. I am confused. I have been exclusive and developing feelings for a man who has been seeing other people while also making me feel like shit. Why would he do that?
All these times of him forgetting, not putting time, effort, lack of attention , is not ADHD, it's because hes busy dating other girls........
Why would he initiate the exclusivity talk? Why would he want to 'work things out' during disagreements? Why does he want to hurt me?
What do i do? I have not responded. We have not met up. He disrespected me but i still have feelings for him. Is this worth salvaging? Is there truly a good reason for his behavior? Or am i being naive? Should i take the L and move on?

2024.06.02 09:17 Melodic_Reflection85 I finally snapped at my (23F) narcissistic ex (27M). Did I overreact and how do I move on?

My ex (27M) and I (23F) have had a very toxic on and off friends with benefits thing that has been going on for 4 years. We officially dated for 2 months last year but he went overseas and cheated on me and I broke up with him. When he came back in Feb we started seeing each other again.
I've told him that I am not interested in a fwb situation, I want a relationship and only want to continue having sex if we're going to officially date and him commit to me because I obviously liked him and couldn't handle the uncertainty of being used anymore. He said he doesn't want this. Despite setting this boundary, he has continued to initiate sex with me and coerce me into doing sexual stuff after me saying no countless times - which is practically sexual assault. Along with this he's been going out at night with countless other girls, watching movies with them in his bed and posting pictures of their 'dates' on his instagram story to show off to his friends that he has 5+ girls around him at any given time. He never posted me (he claims this is my fault because I've told my friends what he has done to me in the past).
He invited me as a plus 1 to his housemate's bday party last night and his housemate and all his friends are polyamorous. They asked him if he was also polyamorous too and he said he was open to it? in front of me? He later said he only meant open minded to the idea of other people being poly but I think he was just trying to cover up what he said. His female housemate was also there and he put her lip gloss on? also in front of me which I thought was a bit inappropriate.
After being called a child for being mad about the above two things - we went to a light show tunnel and half way through he disappeared with this female housemate to take pictures, she was taking pics of him, he was taking pics of her and I was standing there alone awkwardly on the side as I knew no one else at the party. This went on for about 5-10 minutes so I just walked up and when he finally did acknowledge my existence again I told him to f off and kind of blew up at him. I had a few drinks so I think I wasn't as good at concealing my true feelings as I usually am and on top of everything else that's been happening I think I just snapped. I went home alone and sent him texts calling him a lot of names. I'm usually pretty composed when I tell him why I'm upset but not this time and I finally got the courage to block his number.
Do you think I overreacted/made a bigger deal of it like he said I did? If it was with a guy who hadn't cheated and didn't have the history we had I don't think I would have freaked out but on top of everything else I just lost it. How can I build back my trust in men so I'm not paranoid that they're all going to cheat on me and use me for sex?
TLDR: I finally snapped at my (23F) narc ex (27M) whilst drunk and ended things in a dramatic blow up. Did I overreact? How do I trust men again?

2024.06.02 09:17 WearsNoCape How do I avoid these shutdowns?

Yesterday we had a friend and her kid over for like 2 hours. This morning I get up and realize: I’m in shutdown mode. And I am so done with this!
I’m 35m, on my way to a diagnosis, live with my wife and two lovely ASD 5-year-olds. By and large, I have not had any real problems to speak of in my life, until I became a father. I’ve been in burnout now for about 4 years and I just can’t get to a good place. I get into these shutdown states the day after I’ve either been social or had some sort of emotional stress (arguments with my wife, kids having particularly bad meltdowns, etc.). They last anywhere between half a day and a full week. I have a hard time talking, a lot of difficulty processing information (especially verbal), and I get short-tempered with the people around me. In short: I get completely useless as a husband and father. This is a huge burden on our family, because what we really need to do is make sure our kids grow up alright with ASD in a neurotypical society. They’re not currently in daycare, despite our best efforts, without going into details.
So me having full days shutting down just isn’t an option. And if it gets triggered by something as small as a two-hour visit by people I know, I just get really hopeless.
Is there any advice on how to stop this? Or maybe at least someone who feels the same?

2024.06.02 09:17 Champagne_Papi360 Where to fish in Vättern Sweden and how is the data coverage?

Where to fish in vättern and how is the data coverage?
Hello! Me and some friends are thinking about traveling to Sweden by car, to camp and fish a few days. We have looked at camping near vättern, is that a good idea? We have seen that it also should be possible to catch some salmon and trout. And where would it be smart to camp if it is, where we can also get our car somewhat near?
Also do some people know if we will have data coverage at all times, or is it not possible?
Another question: can you also swim in the lake without any problems?
If you have other ideas, feel free to tell.
We are planning to stay for around 3-4 days

2024.06.02 09:16 HelpDearGodHelpMe My mental state is weakening and I don't know if I can't keep it all up anymore

This is my first post so I'm sorry if it's way to long but I needed to get this out.
Trigger warnings: sa, suicidal ideation, physical abuse (kinda), neglect, stalking,
(These topics are mentioned but not explored deeply)
I (m19) have been losing everything it seems since I was 11 I think.
Off the bat I have autism, ADHD, a learning disability, and a bad family dynamic I think (this is apart of it), due to this and growing up in a town that's not very open minded I quickly became suicide. When I started therapy in middle school I would score as severely depressed every 2 weeks when the test was done. Along with talking to councilors, therapists, resurch and how life has been going I think I might have developed BPD and Narcissism.
Right before middle school I met S, they where my best friend and first "love". The day I met S I feel hard, and over the next 7 years my feelings would deepen. Our relationship dynamic was very toxic, we'd yell and scream at each other then the next day say we loved each other but if I didn't want to be there friend they wouldn't care and they'd echo this sintament in a million different ways that would userally come at the end of our fights. S would say things like "if I'm so mean then why are you still friends with me" or "that's a you problem" when I'd bring up a way they would make me feel, once they said "no wonder your dad doesn't love you" (this was years ago so I'm not sure if that's exactly what they said but the last 4 words where still in there) just to give you an idea of the kinda things they'd say.
On the other side, I would constantly make my personal episodes there problem, call them a bad person, accuse them of intentionally hurting me, I'd be extremely controlling of there relationships and just controlling in general. I'd also ask them to berate me, and call me any terrible thing they could think of, like a good friend they only did this a few times at first but then stopped. All this would be going on while I act like the guy best friend with feelings, I'd confess to them on avrage once a year in bigger and grander ways.
Other then S, there have been a lot of other unwell people I'd have to deal with. The actual scary ones where a couple rapists and one person who'd brag about sending there boyfriends on suicide watch. The rest where all either bullies or "crazy" people, either way I didn't care much, I was just happy I could live out a heros fantasy. Even though on paper I was a good guy, I only did it to feed my ego and feel secure. So even though I was hurting people who where hurting others it could have very easily been the other way around and a few times it was. I would stalk people in school, I'm not proud of it but it happened, ive also struggled with homosidle tendencies. One more thing, I was sa'd twice my freshman year which the school did nothing about, you could probably imagine how I feel.
My home life wasn't much better in my opinion, my autism crated a huge divide between my family and by existence everyone else. Out of my whole family I'm the most severe and most of us have autism (this is all my opinion) my mom has taken tests and is open to the idea but my brother (m20) doesn't see what I do, It would also make since for my dad but I don't know. This is important because my needs and acomedations are seen as to much for my family, and then when I went out into the world I didn't understand the social difference between my autistic family and the rest of the world. Whatever I learn out here is hard to communicate to my family and what I learn from my family isn't the best out here.
More specificly my brother would beat me up not super often but often enough for it to be a thing I was scared of for a long time. to be fair I did use to bite him when we where little which is what he mentioned when I brought up the times he'd beat me up, he also denied doing this to the extent I mentioned and said "all brothers fight". He has been teaching me about emotional intelligence recently because of my issus with being very defensive, this was after he stopped beating me up for a while so I think he's changed. But he still says things like "why do you look like that" or "you smell" as a joke, I've asked him to stop but he's never stopped. He also makes jokes about sexualizing animals, children, and even made incest jokes just because I have a funny reaction. I've told him to stop because it makes me uncomfortable but after high school I gave up, he hasn't made these jokes in a while and thankfully the ones about kids are ferthar in the past then the others. When he didn't stop I told him I would tell my friends that he made these jokes and he said that he wouldn't care.
Other then him, my mom recently called me to yell at me about the traffic being bad, the phone called ended with me throwing my headphones and yelling about killing myself in a school building. To be brief.
My dad was just super neglectful, nights I'd go hungry, he cooked only 2 times for me and my brother. Once I had to take him to the bathroom because he was to drunk to know he wasn't in the bathroom. This should be enough.
In modern day.
I'm in college for acting and writing, I haven't lived with my dad for years and he recently took out a EBT card under my name. I got in a car crash a year ago, in the same week I got it, my mom yells at me to drive and yells at me to not drive without insurance, she yells at me for not being prepared wile packing my bags for college for me wile not letting me do it on my own. My mom offers help but then complains about everyone catering to me and yells at me about every single unplanned step. My brother is trying to help me but he doesn't except that I'm disabled or that the issues I bring to him are as bad as I say they are, he buys me fast food almost everyday I'm home though. All the other freshman in my college ghosted me at once after the car crash (for real, I get back from the crash, everyone's int he commons, one person asked if I was okay, the other people from the crash show up and everyone flocks to them and I still don't understand why), this caused rummers about me to be created and at the end of the year it got so bad that a group calls me a pedophile. Even though all the shit I've had to deal with just at school I found someone, F. F is super caring and kind because they really do care. Simply put, niceness is transactional, your nice to someone you expect them to be nice back. F just gives all away and expects nothing in return, they've been helping me with my family and school issues along with the mental shit and their just all around a good person.
Even though things are better and I have someone I like, I feel miserable. Everyday it gets harder and harder to keep myself from letting go and do fucked up things to people just because I see something I like or that I'm intereged in, I have a need to feel power and to know everything I can out of insecurities which I've mentioned in this post. I also wanna break up with F but because I know I will hurt them like everyone else in my life, and I'm not sure if I'm with then for them because there the only person who supports or if it's all the free weed. And like the Annabelle movies, my obsession over S isn't and probably won't ever go away as it gets stronger and more annoying.
So after all this I don't know if I should keep fighting until I can't anymore which feels soon, or finally kill my self which I don't think is likely but if not me then I'm scared of who it could be one day. I will continue to try and work though this anyway unless I make a decision, then I'll try to make an update.
Also please let me know if this is violating the Staying on topic rule.
Thank you.

2024.06.02 09:16 ThrowRAdeadnamedot he M20 ended things after 2 dates but can't seem to leave me F22 alone, advice?

I F22 went on 2 dates with my coworker M20 but he cut it off due to personal issues (which he kept vague) this fling only lasted for less than 2 weeks and it wasn't until after I more or less got over it that I noticed and accepted all the red flags that he showed prior and during our fling, such as lovebombing, overstepping boundaries, womanizer habits, anger issues etc...
My problem now is that although he ended things "amicably" ie. asked to stay as friends. he has been giving me mixed signals and it's making me trying to get 100% over him really tough and downright uncomfortable.
example 1; recently whenever I see him at work, he tends to pucker his lips directly at me as if I'd Come running to him for a kiss and even worse he seems to only do this in front of my other male coworkers. it gives me the same feeling of when a cat pisses on the wall to mark it's territory and it's pissing me off (lol)
example 2; he keeps overstepping my personal space. I decided to limit the time I see him at work by only talking to him for only work-related reasons, but it seems like he comes to bother me to invade my space for any reason at all. he tends to also stand pretty close to me (which I don't enjoy because I'm not a touchy Feely kind of person) and I've gotten into the habit of not acknowledging him at all by avoiding eye contact or going into a different section of my department.
during one of my closing shifts, I needed help bringing down a giant balloon from a high shelf which I could not reach, it was nearing my clock out time and I didn't have time to go and look for a ladder AND finish all of my duties of the night, he happened to appear and I asked for his help. ugh. after he assessed the situation he proceeds to call me over which honestly made my stomach sink. "what is it?", "come over here", i walk over but keep about 5 ft in-between us "yes?", "I got an idea, Come here" he does this squat stretch thing and i immediatly knew where this sht was headed. still keeping my distance I proceeded to try to ask him again but not before he janks me from the wrist and in one swift motion lifts me up by holding onto my legs/thighs.
did this work? no. was I flustered and incredibly anxious afterwards? yes.
I know I need to confront him but as someone who HATES confrontation, I'm afraid of saying the wrong things or phrasing it poorly. please offer me advice :(
tldr: coworker fling, can't seem to leave me alone even though he's the one who ended things and it's getting downright uncomfortable
.p.s. I do not wish to contact HR, I want this to be settled between us two. hopefully
