 | Hi Simracers. Firstly I like to mention that I was only supposed to be a spotter and therefore only registered as crew for the first attempt on 24-hour endurance - but that one didn't go so well so the team decided to join a new session. submitted by Acceptable_Whole_301 to iRacing [link] [comments] Although, this time a less competent driver did the registration I have been placed as a declared driver in our team. But I haven't clicked once on "Register as Driver" - does it still mean that I have to do a stint? https://preview.redd.it/tw62m7tod91d1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=0545ac810f7f412702691a7fd82e84b9c6064717 |

2024.05.19 00:08 Nearby-Highlight-115 AITAH for my "scorched earth" intervention methods against my ex after she became a religious zealot?
For context, this story happened nearly 3 years ago, however a recent late-night conversation with a friend made it clear to me that the repercussions of this incident are still being felt to this day.
I (25M) met my now-ex girlfriend (25F), whom I will be assigning the fake name "Anne," when we were both 17 at our small town high school in semi-rural Georgia. Our romantic relationship began following our senior prom which we attended together. Despite our approaching high school graduations, the two of us decided that we could make our relationship work beyond high school and into college since we would both be attending different universities in the same city. We each grew up in typical southern protestant traditions and casually held onto some sort of religious beliefs. I, myself, have always identified religiously as something of a deist, meaning I believed (and still do to this day) that some sort of higher entity, force, or meaning was responsible for existence. Anne, at that time, would have self-identified as a Christian and attended church semi-regularly, however it was never a significant part of her life or attitude toward the world.
Shortly after we both began our new lives as college students in an unfamiliar city, Anne expressed that she would like to search for a new church to attend regularly as it helped create a sense of community and belonging for her which she had been missing since moving away from home. I strongly encouraged this, since I wanted her to be able to make friends and discover herself philosophically. The church that caught her attention was a non-denominational "modern" church that seemed to emphasize community at least on a surface level basis. However, out of curiosity, I took a look at the church's website and did notice a few mentions of "Pentecostal experience", which worried me since my only knowledge of Pentecostals was rumors of snake handling, especially in the more rural areas of the South. However, I chose to not be too judgmental upfront and continued to encourage her to find herself and meet new people.
Over the next few months, Anne started to spend more and more time devoted to bible studies and attending gatherings for women at the church. She specifically asked me not to accompany her on Sunday services since, as she put it, the elder members of the church would not act too kindly about unmarried woman "dragging around" some unfamiliar man who was not her husband. It became clear pretty quickly that she was becoming more than just a casual Christian and I supported this, however we did not talk much about the specifics of what she was being taught at this church.
This all came to a head when one night, Anne asked me if she could pray over me in something she called a "spiritual language." Having only ever heard vaguely of speaking in tongues, I obliged. I sat next to her on my couch and watched as she raised one hand and began quietly chanting in complete gibberish. My heart immediately sank in discomfort and fear but I was too stunned to do anything. so I just sat and watched for several minutes until she finally went quiet. All I could do or say was tell her that I appreciated her thoughtfulness and went about my day.
Pretty soon, the behaviors and acts became more and more extreme. Her "tongues" became louder and more intense and began to include violent shakes and lots (and I mean LOTS) of crying. She spoke of seeing "signs" and hearing "the voice of God" in a very literal sense. Her grades in college even began to suffer as more and more of her time was devoted to these newfound beliefs. Naturally, I became extremely worried that she was slowly slipping into some sort of paranoid delusional psychosis. At the very least, these teachings made her into a much angrier and more paranoid person. It was clear that her new beliefs were more than just a spiritual awakening but also a nose-dive into a mental health crisis.
Our relationship, at this point, was very clearly waning but my feelings toward the woman I once knew were still strong. I decided that it was time for an intervention of sorts. This resulted in me spending a whole weekend studying Pentecostal beliefs and reading Reddit stories from ex-Pentecostals about what it took to break them out of their conditioning. It was on a Monday night when I invited her over to my apartment to confront her about how the things her church were teaching her were actively harming her and even presented her with evidence of how these churches prey on mentally unwell people and how "speaking in tongues" was nothing more than an experience in her own brain chemicals. While I had hoped that hearing her new beliefs be directly confronted would help break the spell they had on her, it seemed to have no effect. Surprisingly, she did not fight back or show much anger toward my confrontation, instead resorting to the "please respect my beliefs" argument that made it so hard to push back against, since, at this time, I was still concerned about preserving our relationship.
Unfortunately, things only got worse from here. I spent some time trying to ignore the issue for the sake of the relationship, especially because I did not sense that I had many other romantic options given my shy nature and struggles to make new friends at college. However, my new "ignorance is bliss" approach to our relationship did not last long. At this point, we had been together for about 3 years and the conversation of marriage and kids started to become serious. I have always wanted kids since I come from a large family with many siblings, which Anne seemingly was excited about as well. However, after a pleasant conversation in which we fantasized about what we would name our children, she said something that sparked an anger in me that I did not often feel. She told me that if any of our future children came out to us as gay, lesbian, bi, transgender, or anything like that, that we would have to disown that child at all costs and that she could not love her child knowing that they were a "sodomite" (her words). I have always considered myself an ally of LGBTQ+ folks and wouldn't think twice about loving my children any less if they came out to me and have always felt this way. I did not say much in the moment out of pure shock and instead steered the conversation elsewhere while I quietly boiled over in anger over this comment.
Here is where the title of this post comes into play and where my role in this interaction enters a grey area. I spent several days unable to let this anger subside while imagining my own perspective children being thrown to the streets for bravely coming out to their own parents. I decided that another intervention was necessary, except this time I didn't want to be ignored. I came up with a plan that I referred to as a "scorched earth" intervention. Over the course of an evening, I began texting, calling, or messaging almost every person that Anne was close to. This included family, friends, past friends, classmates, and even some plain old acquaintances. I needed her paranoid and hateful beliefs to be confronted by more than just myself and hoped that if everyone important to her also expressed concern; that she would separate herself from this church and seek proper mental health counseling.
The responses I received from Anne's friends and family ranged significantly. Some people, including her mother whom I was close with, asked that I not try to "insert myself between Anne and God". Some friends agreed with me wholeheartedly and would reach out to Anne over text or in person to try and offer help. Some people met me with total apathy. Unsurprisingly, once Anne found out what I did, she broke things off over a brief but highly emotional phone call. She told me that I had embarrassed her and that supposedly God was telling her I wasn't the man she was supposed to marry. It did not hurt too bad since I was anticipating the end of this relationship for a while. The effects of my approach seemingly had lasting impacts on many of her relationships, however. At least one longtime friendship had ended because the friend was appalled by Anne's new paranoid beliefs. It was also unsuccessful, as Anne would never seek mental health counseling. In fact, it probably pushed her further into her church crowd - only further bolstering her new delusions.
Since much time has passed, I have started to feel uncertain whether or not I did the right thing in trying to have all of Anne's friends and family confront her about her extreme beliefs. At the time, I felt that I was justified and doing the right thing by trying to encourage a clearly delusion person to seek mental health counseling by any means necessary. Now, I am able to realize that I acted out of anger and permanently damaged how some of her oldest friends view her. I also realize that I acted immaturely and probably should not have tried to bring in every person close to Anne to fight a battle on my behalf.
Nowadays, Anne is still with that church and regularly posts on Facebook all sorts of whacky spiritual conspiracies. She is still very clearly paranoid and delusional all while putting on a facade of normalcy. I just pity her for living in a constant state of paranoia at this point. She even works full time with the church as a "worship leader," although I am not sure what exactly that means. She actually got married about a year after the relationship ended to a man she met at her church. They met, got engaged, and married all within 12 months. Thankfully, no children have been brought into this world yet from their relationship, which is surprising to me considering how urgent it seemed to her during our relationship. I do not hear much from any friends or family of hers anymore, other than one mutual friend who told me that Anne frequently refers to me as "that demon." As for myself, I finished school and have not married but was able to finally make friends and go on dates and my future is looking bright.
So, Reddit, am I the asshole for my "scorched earth" methods towards my fanatical ex-girlfriend?

2024.05.19 00:08 aardbarker History question about 1949 refugee plans
I’m reading “The War of Return” by Adi Schwartz & Einat Wilf, and I came across a bit of history I didn’t know about: Israel’s two offerings in 1949 to accept some of the Palestinian refugees (in one case, the entire Gaza Strip). Below is an excerpt from the book. Why isn’t this bit of history talked about more?
“…Israel articulated two important plans in the summer of 1949 [OP: to ease tensions around the refugee problem]. The first was named the Gaza Plan, and it proposed transferring the Gaza Strip, in Egyptian hands at the end of the war, to Israeli sovereignty. Israel informed the United Nations that it was willing to grant Israeli citizenship to all the Arabs in the Gaza Strip, both original residents and displaced persons, and committed to take care of their resettlement and rehabilitation. Israel estimated that there were 180,000 Arabs in the Gaza Strip; the true number was closer to 300,000.
“Ben-Gurion wrote in his diary that the plan would grant Israel strategic assets, chiefly the removal of the Egyptian army from the Gaza Strip and the addition of relatively fertile land. It would also enable Israel to argue that it had thereby done its part toward solving the refugee problem. Israel estimated that if it absorbed and naturalized refugees in the Gaza Strip, the size of the country’s Arab minority would be more or less equivalent to the one it would have had under the 1947 partition plan. In exchange, Israel demanded comprehensive international aid to cover the inevitable costs involved.
“The US administration supported the plan but wanted Israel to compensate Egypt for the territory. Ben-Gurion consented to that as well and offered to transfer to Egypt a part of the northwest Negev along the border. But Cairo objected, claiming that the plan would only serve Israel’s interests, expanding its territorial foothold without solving the refugee problem in its totality. “Not only would Egypt not give up the Gaza district,” said the head of the Egyptian delegation at the Lausanne peace conference, “but [it] would firmly demand the southern Negev.” Political leaders in Cairo denounced the plan as “a forerunner of Israeli aggression against Gaza,” informed Washington of their formal rejection, and repeated their insistence that the refugees had a right to return to their homes.
“A short while thereafter, Israel articulated another idea: the 100,000 Proposal, offering to absorb 100,000 Arab refugees into Israel in the context of a peace treaty. The Israeli ambassador in Washington, Eliahu Elath, stated explicitly that the Israeli government intended thereby “to demonstrate [its] cooperation with the US” and that the purpose was for Israel to do its part in solving the refugee problem. President Truman sounded satisfied with the plan, and one of his advisors noted that the president was “extremely pleased … [and] thinks [the] 100,000 offer may break [the] deadlock.” But the Arabs rejected this proposal, too. An Arab diplomat in Lausanne called it “a mere propaganda scheme.” The Arabs claimed that the plan was “less than a token” and that the Jews could not oppose the return of a large number of Arab refugees on economic grounds while encouraging the mass immigration of Jews.
“Both of Israel’s plans showed its willingness to contribute its share as part of a comprehensive agreement where all sides to the war would contribute theirs. For the Arabs, the humanitarian suffering of the refugees did not play a significant role, useful mostly as a political weapon against Israel. American diplomats at the Lausanne Conference received the impression that the Egyptians demonstrated “complete indifference [to the] fate [of the] Gaza refugees.” A senior representative of UNRWA stated in this context that “Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the [Palestinian] refugees live or die.”
“Now and then, the Arab diplomats openly admitted to the Israelis that they had only placed the refugee question at the top of their agenda as a ruse. An Egyptian official told his Israeli counterpart that in the previous year, thousands of his countrymen had been killed in a cholera epidemic, and the government in Cairo had not batted an eyelid. “Why should we care for the refugees now?” the man wondered. By rejecting both Israeli plans, the Arabs were sending a message that the issue of the refugees was examined only in the context of its service to the political cause of undermining Israel.
“Summer 1949 marked the end of attempts by the Arabs and the international community to impose a mass return on Israel without a peace treaty. The United States and Britain understood that this would not happen, and after the Arabs rejected Israel’s proposals for a partial return, Washington and London began considering other solutions, first and foremost the economic rehabilitation of the refugees in Arab countries.”

2024.05.19 00:04 InJoshWeTrust Is It Good To Have Multiple Video Formats on One Channel?
For a little context, I have been seeking to change the content on my channel. I started off doing a little "Let's Play!" style content and it never really caught on, which is fine, I'm not complaining. But I switched it up and recently did a long form "video essay" style video. Where before I was getting between 10-50 views on a Let's Play" and maybe 100 on a more provocatively titled episode, this video essay got roughly 8k in views before it started slowing down. And over 230k impressions. It was a great boost to my motivation and I have begun working on another video essay.
But since I want to just make content for gaming in all it's forms, I wanted to team up with a friend of mine and play some games together, back to my Let's Play Format. I have a name and theme for the videos. But it is good to put it on my current channel or should I start another channel separately for that?
I have organized my video types into different "Shows" and playlists so people can find the specific content they want, but does multiple formats hurt the performance of other videos or the channel as a whole?

2024.05.18 23:58 IndigoStevie [PC][UK/EU] THE SERVANTS OF LIGHT - We are celebrating 5 years of TSOL, join us for the next 5?
Greetings Guardians (and potential future TSOLites)!
I’m Stevie and I’m an admin here at The Servants Of Light. We are a broad group of gamers and friends who like to hang out, chat and play games, sometimes even Destiny. Take a moment to read through our little recruitment post here and see if you think that our little corner of the internet is somewhere you would like to call home.
Region: We are primarily based in the UK. We have a fair few EU members and even 1 or 2 on other timezones. We don't really recommend signing up if you are US based as you will likely miss out on alot of our events and fun things due to the time difference. (sorry)
Active Times: You will usually find us active from late afternoon/early evening and sticking around toward midnight.
Rules Summary: Our rules boil down to not being an idiot or a bigot. We love to joke around with each other but we do not tolerate hate. No homophobia, sexism, racism or any kind of gender or religious attacks. We are a welcoming place for all people but if you harbour distaste for anyone for just existing as their true self, you don't belong with us.
NebulaAndi (our clan leader): "TSOL was created as a place for people to come together and hang out, not just play destiny. It has blossomed into something I'm incredibly proud of, and has fostered some amazing friendships and memories. I've watched many of our longer-standing members grow, and everyone continues to welcome new people with open arms. We've got so many things going on - day one raids, movie nights, and we even had our second irl meetup last year which was incredible. I love these guys with all my heart, and despite them forcing me at gunpoint to write this, I know they'll welcome you too."
Lucasacul (one of our mods): “If you are looking for the funniest, kindest and most helpful clan in Destiny 2 then join us here at The Servants of Light. This is not a cult”
Weiland: "very welcoming group of people, almost always down to run stuff/help people out."
Rapideagle147: "It's a clan full of muppets"
Havelock: "TSOL is a really welcoming, friendly and diverse clan and absolutely not a cult. Brilliantly social not just playing Destiny but having DnD, Minecraft, games/film nights and solid definitely not cultist chat."
Kenny: “A clan so good, you’ll kill your old clan just for the chance with them”
DT: "I used to hate destiny 2 the video game with a passion, now I hate destiny 2 the video game with a passion, but with friends."
Evey: "TSOL - A Haiku Sherpa'd my first raid, Then soon became dearest friends: This weird clan is great!"
Sheep: “TSOL is a fantasic clan, who really go out of their way to be welcoming and inclusive to anyone that joins. Destiny with them is always fun and there's a great community where anyone will try to help with whatever you want which just makes destiny, even when it's not fun, just that little bit more enjoyable”
Nuggets: "excited monkey noises"
Athena: "Found TSOL about a year ago and the people here are nothing short of being the weirdest and loveliest folk that I've ever met. There's always something going on in the server, even during the quiet periods of Destiny."
yapX: "TSOL allows you to actually enjoy Destiny 2, a remarkable achievement that Bungie haven't been able to replicate"
How to: So, if you somehow made it through all that and still think that this is a clan you would like to check out, add or shoot me a DM over on Discord (indigostevie) and I'll get you sorted. If you wanna jump in the server and get to know us a little before you join the in game clan, that's fine too, same deal.
I love this clan with all my heart. They are some of the best friends I've ever known. I hope you like us too :)

Take a moment to read through our little recruitment post here and see if you think that our little corner of the internet is somewhere you would like to call home.
The Essentials
System: PC - All platforms are welcome thanks to crossplay. But please make sure you have a way to chat with us over discord as that's how we arrange everything.Region: We are primarily based in the UK. We have a fair few EU members and even 1 or 2 on other timezones. We don't really recommend signing up if you are US based as you will likely miss out on alot of our events and fun things due to the time difference. (sorry)
Active Times: You will usually find us active from late afternoon/early evening and sticking around toward midnight.
Rules Summary: Our rules boil down to not being an idiot or a bigot. We love to joke around with each other but we do not tolerate hate. No homophobia, sexism, racism or any kind of gender or religious attacks. We are a welcoming place for all people but if you harbour distaste for anyone for just existing as their true self, you don't belong with us.
Who Are The Servants Of Light?
About Us: So, The Servants Of Light (or TSOL [tee-sol] for short) started out as another Destiny 2 clan made to give a few people a way to earn some extra rewards and group up easier. Over the past 5 years we have grown and evolved into so much more. Destiny is, of course, a big part of what we do and who we are, but I think that what makes TSOL special is everything else we get up to. From just talking to each other in the general chat, debating silly things like what counts as a sandwich all the way to all our events. We have fortnightly Game Nights, Movie Nights and a special raid night known as Raid Roulette. We also like to do bigger events throughout the year, the biggest of which is our end of year BONANZA! A huge gameshow style event where we like to dress up all fancy, announce the winners of our community voted awards and challenge you to various themed rounds with a prize on offer. We even have a yearly meetup for those so inclined towards in-person interaction.As for our general focuses for within Destiny, we do a little bit of everything. I would probably say we are a much more PvE leaning clan, we have teams going for clears on contest mode (and may have a space or two open for the next one if you are into that kind of thing and get along with us), we do GM’s and raids every season and aren’t scared off by legend difficulty activities. PvP wise, we have a few guardians who jump into things like trials regularly but for most of us PvP is an ‘as and when’ kind of activity, stacking 6 in iron banner is always fun though.No activity is mandatory and we really just want to play the game we love with people we like, in whatever form that takes. (NOTICE: If Gambit is your favourite gamemode then you will be judged for it but not penalised)The Testimonials
Not something you see much of in your average recruitment post but I asked some of our current members as well as some friends of the clan to give a little insight into what people really think of the clan named TSOL.NebulaAndi (our clan leader): "TSOL was created as a place for people to come together and hang out, not just play destiny. It has blossomed into something I'm incredibly proud of, and has fostered some amazing friendships and memories.

How to get involved
Requirements: The only real requirements we have for joining the clan are 1) to use Discord, which is how we communicate with everyone and arrange all our activities. It's also where you can chat to your clanmates and have fun. 2) follow the rules. The full rules list is in our server for you to read through.How to: So, if you somehow made it through all that and still think that this is a clan you would like to check out, add or shoot me a DM over on Discord (indigostevie) and I'll get you sorted.

2024.05.18 23:58 Ok-Sleep9794 Which potential project with shitty creators that could be replaced with its “snoot game with anon” counterparts?
Basically Here’s potential 3 projects
Loon game featuring loona and a human guy F awkes in an IMP building of helluvaboss universe, where he tries to impress loona without pissing off blitzo and could potentially had a better family.
I wani jawbreak that chad, featuring a female anthro skinwalker in similar appearance of loona, where she meets a superhero team known jawbreakers from a comic well known as jawbreakers, is where she tries to impress her boyfriend silkworm especially her and her alien cryptid furry friends especially in human forms. To win the love against cultural fascism.
And. Spaicy juego featuring Ian joker Anderson (similar name and polo shirt, yet not wearing a stupid medallion and is not related to a mother fucker, plus he wears a purple and green stripe polo shirt) meeting Spaicy and her friends in an epic adventure where he tries to meet the love of his life, and save the world against a villain similar to black doom with an oddly familiar design of loulouVZ as an antagonist which she truly deserves to be an antagonist and villain.
So how’s my game ideas that you guys could make?

2024.05.18 23:53 Mountain_Aardvark_26 YA mystery novel about a boy and his uncle trying to find his neighbor who ran away.
I read this book in Junior High/Middle School which was around 2015-2018 and at the time I believe it was a new book because my teacher had bought it at a book fair and allowed me to be the first reader. The book cover was red and had black writing with handcuffs on the front. The book is written in English and take place in a more southern section of America. From what I remember the main character was a boy who was around 14/15 i remember this because one scene his uncle who was helping him asked him to drive and he made a big deal about not having his license. His uncle I believe was named Sam and he was an older gentleman. I remember a few scenes for example the boy finds a note in a stone wall that the girl left but I can’t remember what it said but this is what causes him to start his search for her. I also remember the end of the book where they find the girl alive on a houseboat that’s docked at a rivemarshy type area and she was found with pink fluffy handcuffs I think? And I believe the uncle kills the guy that kidnapped her. Some details are a little foggy so I hope someone can help because google could not find it or anything close.

2024.05.18 23:48 IndigoStevie [PC][UK/EU] THE SERVANTS OF LIGHT - We are celebrating 5 years of TSOL, join us for the next 5?
Greetings Guardians (and potential future TSOLites)!
I’m Stevie and I’m an admin here at The Servants Of Light. We are a broad group of gamers and friends who like to hang out, chat and play games, sometimes even Destiny. Take a moment to read through our little recruitment post here and see if you think that our little corner of the internet is somewhere you would like to call home.
Region: We are primarily based in the UK. We have a fair few EU members and even 1 or 2 on other timezones. We don't really recommend signing up if you are US based as you will likely miss out on alot of our events and fun things due to the time difference. (sorry)
Active Times: You will usually find us active from late afternoon/early evening and sticking around toward midnight.
Rules Summary: Our rules boil down to not being an idiot or a bigot. We love to joke around with each other but we do not tolerate hate. No homophobia, sexism, racism or any kind of gender or religious attacks. We are a welcoming place for all people but if you harbour distaste for anyone for just existing as their true self, you don't belong with us.
NebulaAndi (our clan leader): "TSOL was created as a place for people to come together and hang out, not just play destiny. It has blossomed into something I'm incredibly proud of, and has fostered some amazing friendships and memories. I've watched many of our longer-standing members grow, and everyone continues to welcome new people with open arms. We've got so many things going on - day one raids, movie nights, and we even had our second irl meetup last year which was incredible. I love these guys with all my heart, and despite them forcing me at gunpoint to write this, I know they'll welcome you too."
Lucasacul (one of our mods): “If you are looking for the funniest, kindest and most helpful clan in Destiny 2 then join us here at The Servants of Light. This is not a cult”
Weiland: "very welcoming group of people, almost always down to run stuff/help people out."
Rapideagle147: "It's a clan full of muppets"
Havelock: "TSOL is a really welcoming, friendly and diverse clan and absolutely not a cult. Brilliantly social not just playing Destiny but having DnD, Minecraft, games/film nights and solid definitely not cultist chat."
Kenny: “A clan so good, you’ll kill your old clan just for the chance with them”
DT: "I used to hate destiny 2 the video game with a passion, now I hate destiny 2 the video game with a passion, but with friends."
Evey: "TSOL - A Haiku Sherpa'd my first raid, Then soon became dearest friends: This weird clan is great!"
Sheep: “TSOL is a fantasic clan, who really go out of their way to be welcoming and inclusive to anyone that joins. Destiny with them is always fun and there's a great community where anyone will try to help with whatever you want which just makes destiny, even when it's not fun, just that little bit more enjoyable”
Nuggets: "excited monkey noises"
Athena: "Found TSOL about a year ago and the people here are nothing short of being the weirdest and loveliest folk that I've ever met. There's always something going on in the server, even during the quiet periods of Destiny."
yapX: "TSOL allows you to actually enjoy Destiny 2, a remarkable achievement that Bungie haven't been able to replicate"
How to: So, if you somehow made it through all that and still think that this is a clan you would like to check out, add or shoot me a DM over on Discord (indigostevie) and I'll get you sorted. If you wanna jump in the server and get to know us a little before you join the in game clan, that's fine too, same deal.
I love this clan with all my heart. They are some of the best friends I've ever known. I hope you like us too :)

The Essentials
System: PC - All platforms are welcome thanks to crossplay. But please make sure you have a way to chat with us over discord as that's how we arrange everything.Region: We are primarily based in the UK. We have a fair few EU members and even 1 or 2 on other timezones. We don't really recommend signing up if you are US based as you will likely miss out on alot of our events and fun things due to the time difference. (sorry)

Who Are The Servants Of Light?
About Us: So, The Servants Of Light (or TSOL [tee-sol] for short) started out as another Destiny 2 clan made to give a few people a way to earn some extra rewards and group up easier. Over the past 5 years we have grown and evolved into so much more. Destiny is, of course, a big part of what we do and who we are, but I think that what makes TSOL special is everything else we get up to. From just talking to each other in the general chat, debating silly things like what counts as a sandwich all the way to all our events. We have fortnightly Game Nights, Movie Nights and a special raid night known as Raid Roulette. We also like to do bigger events throughout the year, the biggest of which is our end of year BONANZA! A huge gameshow style event where we like to dress up all fancy, announce the winners of our community voted awards and challenge you to various themed rounds with a prize on offer. We even have a yearly meetup for those so inclined towards in-person interaction. As for our general focuses for within Destiny, we do a little bit of everything. I would probably say we are a much more PvE leaning clan, we have teams going for clears on contest mode (and may have a space or two open for the next one if you are into that kind of thing and get along with us), we do GM’s and raids every season and aren’t scared off by legend difficulty activities. PvP wise, we have a few guardians who jump into things like trials regularly but for most of us PvP is an ‘as and when’ kind of activity, stacking 6 in iron banner is always fun though. No activity is mandatory and we really just want to play the game we love with people we like, in whatever form that takes. (NOTICE: If Gambit is your favourite gamemode then you will be judged for it but not penalised)The Testimonials
Not something you see much of in your average recruitment post but I asked some of our current members as well as some friends of the clan to give a little insight into what people really think of the clan named TSOL.NebulaAndi (our clan leader): "TSOL was created as a place for people to come together and hang out, not just play destiny.

2024.05.18 23:39 ahawk_one D2 Timeline of Events and Vex...
So with The Final Shape looming, it's got me thinking about storylines and stuff, and something occurred to me that I can't seem to resolve on my own. Hope ya'll can help me out.
submitted by ahawk_one to DestinyLore [link] [comments]
A Loose Timeline
- Traveler shows up in Sol
- Humans travel to Mars to meet the Traveler
- Traveler comes to Earth and bestows a Golden Age upon humanity
- Near the close of the Golden Age, two prominent characters emerge, Clovis Bray and Maya Sundaresh
- Maya heads a research team for Ishtar Collective, primarily based on Venus, studying allegedly ancient Vex ruins and structures that seem to defy laws of time and space. Namely the Citadel, although they are also aware of the existence of the Vault of Glass
- Clovis is the namesake and head of the Clovis Bray corporation which is dedicated to pushing the limits of human potential at any cost. Often studies dangerous and unknown phenomena and artifacts found on the Moon and Europa, with little regard for the safety of his workers or test subjects. Clovis and his family created the Warmind Rasputin and the Exo’s.
- On Venus, Maya and her team discover the scope of Vex simulation power through the simulations a small Vex is running about her and her team. With the help of Rasputin, they are able to “rescue” their simulated copies, and then disperse those into the Vex net to explore and study it.
- These copies are released into the Citadel, which is on Venus near the Vault of Glass
- On Europa, Clovis discovers an ancient dark artifact that emits a power he calls “Clarity” which he uses to ultimately perfect the Exos by combining Clarity with Vex Mind Fluid and putting this inside the bodies of Exos.
- Vex mind fluid is harvested from a Vex world called Volantis, on the other side of the portal in the Glassway strike
- Prior to this, Clovis’s corporation comes into possession of an item called the K1 Artifact. Found on the moon. It induces nightmares and insanity in people near it. It seems to be of the Darkness, possibly of the Witness or Nezerac, but it predates the arrival of either in Sol.
- But Clovis does recognize it and Clarity as being part of the same thing, the same network, etc.
- Witness comes to Sol with the Veil to attempt to enact its Final Shape
- For some reason, the Veil is not with the Witness, but is with Nezerac aboard Nezerac’s Pyramid
- Not sure of the exact order, but during this invasion the following things happen:
- Savathun defeats Nezerac, and takes the Veil from his ship to hide it away on Neptune
- (Why Neptune?)
- Mara Sov and the crew of her ship are caught in the crossfire and transported to a place that would become the Distributary
- Nezerac’s ship ends up on Luna
- (or was it always there?)
- The Witness seemingly abandoned its plans for some reason, and fled the system
- The Traveler released Ghosts out into the world who would raise Lightbearers
- At some point at or shortly after this failed invasion, the Witness attempts to recreate the Veil in the Black Garden.
- The Vex are involved but something doesn’t add up here.
- Savathun defeats Nezerac, and takes the Veil from his ship to hide it away on Neptune
Now For the Stuff That Doesn't Add Up
- What is Clarity and what was the K1 artifact?
- Both were in Sol seemingly LONG before the Collapse, which means long before the Traveler showed up, which means long before the Witness or any of it’s disciples would have visited Sol.
- The moon was formed when an asteroid collided with Earth. Is it possible that in Destiny’s universe, this collision contained things like K1?
- Why would Clarity be on Europa of all places, and why does Clarity breath when the other statues that resemble Clarity are still?
- The Black Heart doesn’t make sense in this timeline even before the arrival of the Witness to the cannon.
- Setting aside the Witness for a moment (just pretend it doesn’t exist for now)
- Going by D1 lore, it is the source of the Primeval Minds
- Primeval Minds were meant to bring forth the powers of the Vault of Glass
- The Vault of Glass may exist outside of time and space (is this true?), but even still, on Venus there are Ishtar records of it, as well as geo maps I believe that show it going down far underneath the surface of Venus.
- This means that it was there during the Golden Age, but we don’t know for how long
- If the Black Heart is what prevents the Traveler from healing, yet seemingly had no effect prior to that then that means one of two things:
- Either the heart was constructed after the Traveler went dormant
- Or the heart was inert or unable to affect the Traveler until after it went dormant
- Either way, the Traveler going dormant at a specific point in time was required for the relationship between the Primeval Minds and the Vault to become possible.
- If this was the plan all along, the Vex would have needed to be able to predict the actions and the intent of both the Traveler and the Black Fleet, which were both known to be paracausal forces
- If this wasn’t the plan, and was instead opportunistic action taken by the Vex, why did they add the Vault to Venus prior to any of this happening?
- This also does not provide insight into what the Black Garden is or why a Black Heart would grow there, or why Vex would be there.
- If we bring the Witness back in, then some of this makes sense.
- The Witness seeking a copy of the Veil uses the Black Garden and apparently the Sol Divisive to construct it.
- This occurs after the Witness loses the Veil during the Collapse.
- But it does not answer where the Sol Divisive came from or what the Black Garden is.
- It also does not explain why the Witness would try to use the Vex to create the Heart, because a being this old and well traveled will have known the Vex limitations when it comes to paracausal simulation and construction.
What is so important about Sol for the Vex?
They can build a planet sized computer literally anywhere, out of anything. So why build their sensitive prediction engines near the Traveler and the Vanguard? For my purposes, we're going to skip the obvious gameplay related needs and focus on story reasons. Why is this happening in the story?- There are only three places where we see Vex that the Traveler has not also touched
- Europa - They came through Clovis's portal and largely went dormant after the war there.
- Neptune - They are apparently there for the Veil and later for Soteria
- The Moon - They come through the Garden Portal when we complete the Shadowkeep campaign
- There are some Vex structures around the portal, but otherwise their influence on the Moon seems limited to small physical patrols of Sol Divisive Vex
- Additionally there are four I know of that are not available or contaminated by Vex in game, but that we have accounts of
- Oryx's Throne World - Much like Europa, the Vex were only there because Crota opened a door too their space and let them in
- Volantis - The place Clovis's portal opens to
- Possibly the same place Crota accessed?
- The Leviathan -
- A mind that supposedly ran the Nessus planet computer was sucked into the Leviathan (so much for it's predictive powers...
- The Menagerie had Vex as well, but I don't remember if they came from Nessus with the Eater of Worlds boss, or if they were captured by Calus prioafter that.
- The Dreaming City - Season of the Wish they are in the city, in the tunnels created by Riven
- What's interesting is that, of the places the Traveler HAS NOT touched, and where they are still present, Neptune is the only one where they are doing much of anything that isn't wholly reactive to other beings disturbing their stuff.
- All other locations where we encounter the Vex, the Traveler also touched first
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Io
- Nessus
- So the Vex seem to have a pattern of showing strong interest in converting worlds the Traveler has also altered. They also seem very interested in the Veil.
- Oryx’s Throne World is also a place that keenly interested them, when Crota let them in. And it is also a paracausal location filled with beings that utilize paracausal power.
- Despite Clarity being present on Europa, and having a known interaction with Vex Mind Fluid, the Vex there are still mostly asleep.
- Same in terms of the Moon where there are known Darkness artifacts as well as a whole Pyramid, an entrance to Crota’s Throne World, and a number of Hive running around. But they are not active there in force anymore
- And even though they seem to end up in other types of places, they don’t seem to do much there unless provoked.
- The Vex have known the location of the Veil for some time, yet the Witness doesn’t. This means that either the Sol Divisive doesn’t know either, or they withheld that information somehow for some reason.
- We don’t know what the Black Garden is yet.
- D1 frames it around the Black Heart, but as we can see that doesn’t even make sense by D1’s timeline
- D2 expands the framing through GoS and season of Undying. The Garden is it’s own thing, and the heart was added and removed later.
- Regardless, the Vex pattern of strong interest in converting things the Traveler has also altered, suggests to me that the Garden was probably also altered by the Traveler at some point
- So it seems like the Vex are either obsessed with the Traveler, or they are obsessed with things the Traveler has converted for some reason. And that seems to be why we find they're big dangerous computation engines and stuff like that here in Sol, and why they don't just build them literally anywhere else.
- And while yes they do seem to build stuff elsewhere, those things just don't seem to do much. And we can tell because they haven't just built an infinite forest off in the Andromeda Galaxy somewhere where NOTHING could ever disrupt it and they could compute endlessly. Even the Valut of Glass, the seat of their most arcane and powerful frames, is close to the current location of the Traveler.
2024.05.18 23:39 moregrapejuice nightmare wedding guest has insatiable main character syndrome
 | before I begin... I AM SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS <3 the wedding I will be discussing in this post happened last may and the whole time I was there I was thinking of how it BELONGS on one of Charlotte's wedding drama videos. submitted by moregrapejuice to CharlotteDobreYouTube [link] [comments] FYI this is super long and contains a multitude of characters, so naturally, we will be code-naming everyone :p this is an Indian wedding and I'll try to explain the relevant culture and traditions as best as I can. there are also PICTURES! our main character (aka the Nightmare wedding guest herself)- let's call her Anna (35F) comes from a rich background- meaning she's daddy's princess and has gotten pretty much anything she wanted her whole life. she is currently married with one kid (7M). for a bit of background, Anna's husband (J-35M) grew up in a joint family- which basically means his fraternal first cousins and him grew up in the same house and are practically siblings. We will call these cousin-siblings Pen(35F) & Dan(28M- also the groom in this story). Anna is a self-titled social media influencer (sigh, is anyone surprised) and has around 11k followers on her (verified) instagram account, most of which I suspect she paid for. She heavily face tunes her face/body in an extremely millennial way- so it's super obvious because her face is weirdly glazed over and smooth in all her pictures. Her husband is sweet and introverted, a simple guy. He's more her personal photographer (something he said to me HIMSELF) than anything else. ANYWAYS. LET US BEGIN. Indian weddings are extremely different to American/european (im trying to say white) weddings. Every guest is expected to be decked up- whether you're someone's great-great grandma or a 3 month old baby. It's almost disrespectful to not wear your best outfits to a wedding. it's normal to shop for your family members' weddings, but most people will just buy something inexpensive- LOCALLY- and then wear that to the next few weddings they go to as well. Dan is my maternal uncle (aka my mum's first cousin) and is the last in their generation to get married (which means i'm next, yikes). we (my immediate family) all bought an outfit or two each- but we also do a lot of swapping in my (extended) family- which essentially means all my aunts and grandmas will exchange clothes so that no one is 'repeating' an outfit (lol) and we don't have to buy heavy traditional clothes every time there's a wedding in the family (there's no practical use for them outside of such occasions). for example my younger sister wore a dress of mine while I wore something that belongs to my aunt. something like that. coming back to Anna, this lady got on a FLIGHT to a different STATE for 'wedding shopping'. this is decidedly reserved only for the bride. like, imagine a guest from your wedding goes to Kleinfeld or some famous bridal shop to shop for your wedding... that's weird, right? I put her outfits into google lens to find a picture of her exact outfits without exposing her identity- and I found every one of them on bridal boutique websites. not only did she go to several bridal stores in this state- but the also bought a RING- 'just to wear to the wedding'. who. buys. a. ring. to. wear. to. someone. else's. wedding. WHO DOES THAT. Anna's ring cost 50K INR (roughly 598 USD) while the BRIDE's (Sarah-26F) ring was 60K INR (roughly 718 USD). Buying jewellery/accessories again is FINE but most people would just buy something artificial? or wear something they already own if they want to wear like gold, or something. Buying clothes worth thousands of rupees and a RING for someone else's wedding is genuinely crazy. another funny bit is that she flew to this different state (her dad paid for her flight tix) but made her son & husband take the train, lol. I don't even think they bought any clothes for themselves, it was just Anna doing the shopping. Now, there were about 5-6 functions that took place over 3 days, and the bride had a different outfit for each of them. most of these clothes were designer and paid for by the groom's family. After hearing of Anna's antics a lot of people advised Dan's mum to keep the bride's clothes out of Anna's sight- so that she doesn't end up wearing the same thing to the wedding. As expected Anna kept asking to see them. Finally, the functions begin. Most family had travelled from different states and we all stayed at the resort where the wedding was being held. We had rooms that fit around 6-8 people each. Two wings of the resort were taken over by our wedding party- one for the bride's family and one for the groom's. Now, they had set up ONE team of make-up & hair artists for anyone who wanted to get dolled up for any of the functions. you had to pay a small fee for each function, and it was completely optional. again this is super normal for Indian weddings. these make-up artists were pretty mediocre and they were dealing with 50-60 wedding guests for multiple functions a day, so naturally their work was more quick than good. the bride obviously had a separate make-up and hair artist, because getting her ready obviously took much longer. imagine our surprise when we find out that the bride was not the ONLY one which a private make-up artist. yep, you guessed it. Anna had hired a personal make-up artist JUST for herself. it was almost as if she had forgotten... that it wasn't HER wedding. next, we have a function called the 'Mehendi', which literally means 'henna'. usually a team of henna artists is hired and everyone gathers in a big hall and sits on the floor and gets their henna done. the henna designs are pretty generic, but you can also show the henna artists inspo photos if you want something specific. the bride usually gets a more elaborate design- picture attached. the two highlights of 'bridal henna' are: 1) henna goes up to the elbows and knees (guests will only get it done until their forearms and usually nothing on the feet/legs). and 2) the design has a little window on each arm that will depict a bride in one window and the groom in another. as a guest you can get anything done, as long as its not this. bridal henna miss Anna of course decided that she had to hire a personal henna artist 3 days before the wedding to get henna up to her elbows, complete with the windows and everything. she claimed it was because her son was involved in one of the functions (irrelevant so I won't elaborate)... like why do you need a bride and groom drawn on your arms if you're not the one getting married? NOW for the finale and grand finale. The day of the wedding is finally here. Indian brides usually wear shades of red for their wedding ceremony. this can range from hot pink to a deep maroon. The first time my family and I stepped out of our hotel room on the day of the wedding, we saw a girl in a hot pink 'lehenga' (wedding dress basically) getting professional photographs of herself taken. we were like awh, the bride is already ready! I love her dress. ...yeah, it was Anna. for the sake of comparison- imagine someone wearing an 'off-white' full on wedding dress to your wedding. she even wore these bangles with tassels (usually worn by brides). thankfully Sarah's dress (deep red) was much more elaborate and she looked gorgeous, Anna was no match for her. her bangle tassels were also bigger than Anna's :p COMING TO THE GRAND FINALE THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART OF THIS STORY. after the couple is officially married, the very last function is the wedding reception. the bride and groom are usually on a stage and every family will go get pictures taken with them and offer them congratulations. Sarah wore a gorgeous designer sari (picture attached) for the occasion- it was purple and silver and glittery and perfect, however it wasn't very heavy. it was definitely more simple than the rest of her gowns and saris, but she looked beautiful nonetheless. Anna showed up to this function in a poofy golden-silver gown- picture attached. it looked like a Quinceañera dress. she looked SO overdressed and pompous, mostly because she was clearly more done-up than the bride (which is so hard to do in an Indian wedding and somehow she still managed I'm lowkey impressed). if you look at the pictures, you'll realise how stark the difference between Anna and Sarah's outfits is. anna's poofy gown as if this wasn't bad enough, Anna's aunt showed up in... the exact sari the bride was wearing. I kid you not, this woman had the exact same DESIGNER PURPLE AND SILVER SARI AS THE BRIDE. and she had the balls to go up onto the stage for pictures. I'm told she sheepishly laughed and commented on the same sari. The bride was visibly seething (OBVIOUSLY) and honestly I felt so bad for her. bride's sari Anna realised that sharing a house with Sarah for the rest of time wouldn't go over well, so wearing the same sari herself would've been too much. that's why she made her aunt wear it. and if you're thinking it might be coincidence- that particular sari was from some niche designer that Dan's family and Sarah together spent literal months looking for. it also cost around 30K INR which is an insane amount of money to spend for an outfit you're wearing once to someone else's wedding. (for reference one full outfit I bought- including accessories- came to about 1.5K INR). There are more things that she did that I could mention but I'll stop now because this is already so long. I shudder to think of what she must have been like at her own wedding, lol. if you've made it this far, thank you for reading :) |
