2024.05.19 07:10 Usnis How do you challenge a Pro Russian family member's view?
 | One of my family members is very pro Russian in the Russo-Ukrainian war and is pro Russian because of some Russian guy talking about it and "speaking some truth." I sent them two videos about Russian propaganda from two Russian youtubers, and this is the text I get. I'm a 16 year old closeted to all but one family member trans girl and I want advice from other on how to challenge this type of view. submitted by Usnis to RightJerk [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 07:09 Sp3nc3rz I’ve been over my ex for months. Why am I crying over her now?
I haven’t even thought about her. She’s been gone from my memory for so long. She was my first WLW relationship and for those who know, know that first WLW relationships are known to be torture. Mine was. I loved her to death but she put but me through so much without knowing it. She had so many disorders and stuff that just made her act a way that she couldn’t help. And it effected me, and one day she said that I was a horrible partner one to many times and I left. It’s a long story so I’m not going into the specifics but you get the picture.
Anyway, I’m over her. There’s this girl that I think is gorgeous and I’d love to get to know her. And I don’t even think about my ex anymore. Well today I had work, and some lady threw change in my face, my feet are killing me, my pet died yesterday, so I’ve just had a rough day.
Some people from school came in and they were laughing and kissing- they were dating. This reminded me of my ex. I moved on with my day, thinking it was weird I was thinking about her.
I got home, I’m getting ready to go to bed, and all I can think about is her. I start imagining in my head what it would be like if I saw her in my store (she lives a state away) and I’m just so confused. I started crying and I even thought about wanting her back.
But I don’t? I hate her. With EVERYTHING I have, I hate her. She was awful to me and even cheated on me. (TW) she said I cheated on her when I called her out and her excuse was my sexual assault in the past- which I told her in confidence about.
I just wish I knew why, and how I could stop thinking about her completely.

2024.05.19 07:09 New_Championship1994 Can’t let go of childhood memory
When I was like 7/8/9 (I truly can’t remember what age, I’d like to say it is the earliest one but it’s probably 9) I went to this camp for like four days. It was pretty bad overall, didn’t really enjoy it, but it was almost finished. In fact, maybe I was slightly older? Like 10? Now I really can’t remember, I tried tracking what age I could be but I don’t like to ask when I went on it with anyone.
We had went on this big last walk during the final day and my legs had been really itchy for a lot of the walk back. I had no idea why. When we got back each room went back to their own, there was probably about 8 of us in a room, with bunk beds. I had decided to change clothing because I thought it must just be my trousers that had been itching my legs so badly.
When I went to take my trousers off, I scratched and saw that it was dried under my nails, and before I realised what had even happened someone had shouted what had occurred. Then suddenly everyone was running out of the room, I think someone was shouting it, some of them had got other people from a different room, and I guess one of the camp programme leaders. I had pulled my trousers up immediately though. One person had stayed behind and looked with pity.
I think I had just hid badly behind the door, probably in shock. When the leader came and got me. When I think about it now it’s all in third person. He had me taken to one of the really nice en-suite showers (compared to the campers had cubicle ones? I think anyway) and told me I could wash up there.
When I left, my hair was still damp, and I had to walk into an entire hall full of kids, both younger, same age, and older than me, and go up and get my great end of the camping trip hot chocolate. The walk and hot chocolate being the final part of the trip.
(I realise I’m saying camping trip, they were all lodges, and it was doing camping like activities)
Anyway, I walk through a quiet-ish room after a lot of people had stopped talking. I could feel eyes on me. I got my hot chocolate and immediately took a sip only to burn my tongue and cause more attention via my coughing. I probably did that so quickly just to do something rather than stand and think.
I got water and went down to sit at the bench where my good friend/primary school friend sat, with some others. I can’t remember what else we talked about but what he said always stuck with me “don’t worry, everyone makes mistakes” but I could sense he was embarrassed.
The next day, I remember standing waiting to leave, near the car hovering, as my parents spoke to the leader. I assume he told them, but I have no idea because I was too ashamed to ever ask or bring it up.
There was this guy who had brought it up a lot years later. He would walk a similar way home and tried to embarrass me. For years during highschool I would be nervous if he would come out at lunch/see him around/ walking home because he would say it in front of others and I could deal with the embarrassment. I ate so much, stopped at a shop to avoid meeting him on the way home, and would buy tons of food. My obesity has been an even bigger part of my life. I’m not assertive and I lack self-esteem.
It didn’t matter probably because everyone probably knew already. I tried to forget it when it happened, but in first year of highschool, a bit later into it, that friend who was on it with me told a lot of people. I got a fair amount of jokes, and looks. I never mentioned it myself though and just shrank into myself.
It was so long ago but was such a formative part of my life and ended up defining a lot of how I was perceived by everyone. I’m not sure how I feel about it, I think it’s still there, I don’t go a week I would say without thinking about it in some regard. I had always wanted to change my name and move away when I grew up, both because of that and other stuff.
Obviously, it was just some childhood thing and I want to get over it but I find it really hard. I hoped writing this and hearing thought could help but I doubt it. That guy I was friends with was okay after that, and I don’t think I hold a grudge but I don’t know. The other guy I see often as he works somewhere I go (still living at home rn). He never mentioned it, neither have I, but I feel like we both know. I hated him and now I don’t know what I feel.

2024.05.19 07:08 ashergetsp0wned High School Student Here, Is Computer Engineering Right for My Career Goals?
I’m a rising senior in high school. School just got out this Friday. Recently I’ve been researching what I want to major in college and I think that what I want to do is Computer Engineering.
My current plan is to join the Air Force and get my associates degree online then use the GI bill to get a Computer Engineering degree after I get out.
I’m really interested in both hardware and software and how they interact which is what led me to Computer Engineering. My hobby is making music and I’ve been really interested in hardware synthesizers and how they work.
I’m not sure what exactly I want to do as a job but I want to have a job that lets me work both on designing hardware and writing the software for that hardware.
I was wondering if Computer Engineering would be the correct major to get me down that path and what line of work I should be researching to find that kind of position where I’m able to work both in hardware and software.
I’m also wondering what steps I can take now to help ready myself for studying Computer Engineering? My junior year I took Algebra 2 and I feel like most people interested in pursing some type of engineering at my school are already a year or two ahead of me in math. I know how to code in Javascript and I’m currently learning C++ but neither of those are directly related to Computer Engineering. Is there anything else I should be doing?
Sorry for the long post, Thanks.

The first thing that caught my eye was its timeless design and high-quality waxed canvas construction. It's no wonder this bag has a rating of 4.7 out of 5, as users consistently rave about its craftsmanship. Before my trip, I was a little concerned about the stiffness of the waxed canvas, but it quickly softened up as I loaded it with my camping gear. I particularly appreciated the padded handle and base support, which made carrying the duffel bag comfortable and easy, regardless of how heavy it got. The storage options in this Readywares duffel bag are quite impressive as well. With multiple compartments, I had no trouble keeping my items organized throughout my trip. The only downside was the lack of an interior pouch, which would have been beneficial for smaller items. In conclusion, the Readywares Waxed Canvas Duffel Bag is a reliable and stylish choice for anyone in need of a high-quality carryall. Its craftsmanship, storage options, and overall size make it a perfect companion for various activities, ranging from weekend getaways to camping trips. However, it could benefit from the addition of an interior pouch to keep smaller items secure. 🔗Heavy Duty Military Canvas Duffel Baghttps://preview.redd.it/n5hpsm84gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c29f049e961ac7d16f8e75b3c700d555d923f8e The WHITEDUCK Hoplite Heavy Duty Military Canvas Duffel Bag in Blue is an indispensable travel companion that you can take along no matter where life leads you. This sturdy bag boasts a whopping 204L capacity, perfect for packing all your essentials for a weekend getaway or longer excursions. One of its key features is the high-quality, double-fill cotton canvas with a tight weave, ensuring durability and wear and tear resistance. The weatherproof fabric is reinforced at all stress points too, making it incredibly sturdy. Plus, the fully zipped compartment offers ample space to store larger items without any hassle. A standout feature is the heavy-duty, full-length zippers that can handle oversized and bulky items with ease. The soft and ultra-reliable cotton carry handles equipped with a Velcro tag for quick lifting and carrying add convenience. And let's not forget about the adjustable, removable padded shoulder strap for maximum comfort. The bag's versatility is another significant highlight. Whether you're going camping, using it for gym storage, or during your daily commute, the Hoplite Duffel Bag adapts seamlessly to all your needs. On the downside, some users have mentioned that the bag's dimensions can be a bit confusing initially, but after figuring it out, its performance has exceeded all expectations. In a nutshell, the WHITEDUCK Hoplite Heavy Duty Military Canvas Duffel Bag combines durability, capacity, and versatility to provide a top-notch travel experience. Its excellent workmanship gives it the robustness and longevity you desire in a duffel bag.

I have to say, this high-quality canvas duffel has been a game-changer for all my outdoor adventures since then. I was initially skeptical about the capacity given its light weight of just 1.2 lbs, but boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise. This Deluxe Canvas Duffel Bag truly delivers on its promise of a spacious 100L storage capacity, making it perfect for travel, camping, fishing, and sports as well. The high-quality canvas ensures durability and the solid stitching provides extra strength and resistance against wear and tear. Its dimensions of 36x13x13 inches are just the right size for packing all my essentials without feeling bulky or cumbersome. However, one minor drawback I noticed is that it only has one compartment for organization. While this didn't cause any major issues during my camping trip, I do wish there were additional pockets for smaller items to keep everything more organized. Overall, the YoKelly 36 inch Canvas Duffel Bag has made my life so much easier and more convenient, offering ample storage space in a lightweight, durable, and versatile package. If you're on the hunt for the perfect travel, camping, or sports bag, I highly recommend giving this duffel a try. 🔗Durable Military Canvas Duffle Bag for Long Tripshttps://preview.redd.it/j9z5erz4gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fbebbd6271366160de8ec3c20d4ae86a9ba5495 When I first laid my eyes on the Rothco Gi Style Canvas Double Strap Duffle Bag, I knew that it was a perfect match for my travel needs. This military-inspired bag checks all the boxes for durability, ample storage space, and versatile carrying options. Made of 22 oz heavyweight cotton canvas material, it's been built with utmost durability, making it the go-to option for all your long and short trips. The generous dimensions of 22 inches x 38 inches allow me to pack plenty of clothes and gear effortlessly. I especially love the adjustable shoulder straps and the sturdy handle for conveniently carrying it like a suitcase or a backpack. This flexibility gives me the freedom to pack even more stuff while ensuring comfort on long commutes. The additional side pocket with a snap closure is a bonus for keeping small items or travel documents organized and easily accessible. I've been using this duffle bag for everything from overnight trips to the gym and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. However, some users have reported a strong odor upon receiving the item. This can be a bit off-putting, but a couple of washes usually do the trick. The Rothco Gi Style Canvas Double Strap Duffle Bag is a smart buy for anyone looking for a reliable, large-capacity bag made from high-quality materials. Its versatile design, durability, and practical features make it an ideal choice for all your travel adventures. 🔗Steeletex Antimicrobial Gym Bag in Navyhttps://preview.redd.it/nulppjb5gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=712cd2feb44222cbb511154d7b66cfff1e3e3e88 I recently got introduced to the Steeletex Gym Bag by Steele Canvas, and I must say, I've been thoroughly impressed with its performance and quality. The first thing that caught my eye was the unique construction material - it's not your regular canvas or nylon bag. This one has an antimicrobial vinyl coating that not only provides water resistance but also ensures easy cleaning. One of the standout features of this bag is its size. It's perfect for holding all my gym clothes, sneakers, and even my favorite water bottle. I've been using it regularly since I got it, and it has shown no signs of wear and tear yet. Speaking of which, the durability of this bag is another highlight. The 18.5 oz. antimicrobial vinyl coated nylon liner is not just water and tear-resistant, but it's also treated with BACshield, which ensures that mold, mildew, fungi, or bacteria don't get a chance to grow. The Steeletex Gym Bag also comes with a couple of convenient pockets - one inside and one outside. These have been incredibly useful for keeping my belongings organized. As for the design, the black leather hand grips add a touch of class to the overall aesthetic. Besides, the adjustable shoulder strap ensures comfort even during long gym sessions. However, there's one thing that I would've appreciated more - if they had included a mesh or ventilated pocket for storing wet clothes or shoes separately. This would have made the bag even more versatile and useful. But all in all, I've been thoroughly happy with my Steeletex Gym Bag. Its durability, size, and convenience make it an excellent companion for my daily gym visits. Plus, knowing that it's made in America by hardworking American craftsmen adds an extra layer of satisfaction to my purchase. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality gym bag. 🔗Classic Canvas Duffle Bag for Travelhttps://preview.redd.it/9p0zegu5gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51a81f51f1965da95f5a011d4550b16b3373c90c First off, picture yourself embarking on a weekend getaway with nothing more than this trusty Trailmaker duffel bag at your side. The 30-liter capacity ensures you'll have ample space for all your essentials - be it clothes, shoes, or even your favorite dance attire for weekend classes! And don't worry about wearing it out yet. This durable canvas bag is built to last, so you can make countless travel adventures with it. One thing I noticed about this bag is how versatile it really is. Not only does it serve as an excellent carry-on for flights, but it proved to be quite handy for daily trips to the gym as well. Its lightweight design ensures easy portability, especially when combined with its adjustable shoulder strap. Plus, the simple yet elegant design pairs well with any outfit, whether you're dressing up or down. However, there are some cons to consider. Some users reported issues with the quality of the bag, particularly the zipper which tends to jam often. The lack of compartments inside can also lead to a messy bag when overstuffed. However, considering its affordable price point and high ratings among users, these minor drawbacks seem overshadowed by the overall positive experience most reviewers have had with this bag. Overall, the Trailmaker duffel bag is a reliable choice for individuals seeking a spacious, durable, and affordable bag for travel, gym use, or everyday needs. Despite some reported issues with the zipper and lack of compartments, the majority of reviewers seem satisfied with their purchase, highlighting the immense utility and convenience offered by this bag. 🔗Classic Vintage Duffle Baghttps://preview.redd.it/vnmvuu46gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59daea38662ad9f1fd7434ad575680f64f8592e7 I recently had the chance to try out the Sweetbriar Classic Weekender Duffel and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my travel needs. The moment I laid my eyes on its vintage-inspired canvas design with retro rucksack vibe, I knew this bag meant serious style. One of the features that really stood out was its spacious interior. It comfortably fit all my essentials for a weekend getaway, including clothes, toiletries, and even some extras like a small travel pillow. Speaking of extras, the bag has several pockets both outside and inside, which are perfect for storing smaller items like wallets or keys. Another thing I appreciated was how easy it was to clean. I'm known for being a bit clumsy, so accidents are inevitable. But with this duffel, a damp cloth was enough to wipe away any spills or stains. However, there was one issue I encountered. The zipper closure, while sturdy and secure, was a bit tricky to navigate at times. It took me a few attempts to get it right, which felt a little frustrating. All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the Sweetbriar Classic Weekender Duffel. It's stylish, practical, and well-built, making it an ideal choice for short trips or gym sessions. It's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a new bag. 🔗MOLLYGAN Large Capacity Canvas Gym Baghttps://preview.redd.it/dyutqkh6gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be53c4b16e4f4756fc1e97e0a390a28a28ed4a06 I've never been the type to travel lightly - I've always packed everything but the kitchen sink. But recently, I stumbled upon this MOLLYGAN Travel Duffel Bag, and I must say, my travel game just leveled up! The black exterior made it perfect for both genders, but what really caught my eye was the superior-quality, soft and smooth canvas material. The structure of this bag is quite impressive too. The side zipper pocket provided a separate space for my shoes (goodbye, smelly gym bag! ) whereas the spacious main compartment and small zipper pocket proved that even though the bag was large in capacity, it was well-organized. Its 35 liters capacity was more than enough to accommodate all my laptops, A4 books, clothes, and daily essentials. Whether going for a leisurely trip or a hectic gym session, this bag had my back. Measuring 18.8 x 10.2 x 11 inches, the bag was just the right size for convenience yet offered so much space. However, the product did have one hiccup, the shoulder strap. It was long and adjustable, but at times, it felt a bit too long, and the handles could have been a tad longer, making it a little harder to carry around. In conclusion, the MOLLYGAN Travel Duffel Bag has undoubtedly improved my daily travel experiences. With its large capacity, durable construction, and ample organization options, it has become a necessity for my daily activities. While it could do with a few adjustments (pun intended), it has nonetheless proven to be a reliable companion. 🔗Military-Grade Canvas Duffel Backpackhttps://preview.redd.it/mw7zj5w6gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8834e11142011dbcdc59b5b3aca467f7739586cd I recently embarked on a weekend getaway with just the Military Duffel Backpack in tow. The modern green color added a trendy touch to my outfit, and upon closer inspection, I could see that the canvas duffel was indeed made of high-quality, water-repellent material. I felt confident that my belongings were well-protected, even in a sudden downpour. The adjustable shoulder straps came in handy as I traversed through the crowded city streets, allowing me to find the perfect fit and distributing the weight of my stuff evenly. One feature I particularly appreciated was the heavy-duty cross-stitched carrying handle. I found it incredibly useful when I wanted to switch up my carrying style and convert the backpack into a traditional duffel bag. The stainless eyelets and rugged buckles made the whole process incredibly smooth and secure. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the top clasp that held everything closed. It was slightly smaller than the holes on the flaps, so the bag wasn't completely sealed. While this didn't affect its overall performance during my trip, I did have to exercise a bit more caution to prevent anything from slipping out. To sum it up, the Military Duffel Backpack is a reliable and fashionable bag that offers ample space and thoughtful storage options. The canvas material ensures durability and water resistance, while the adjustable straps offer comfort and convenience. Although the top clasp could be slightly improved, I would definitely recommend this backpack for travelers and everyday adventurers alike! 🔗Extra Large Yoga Mat Duffel Bag with Hammockhttps://preview.redd.it/ru42be77gb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1ca7e587c46f27f4cf6bf689a94a6466b4daee5 I've been using the Kindfolk Yoga Mat XL Duffel Bag Mesa for a few weeks now and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my daily yoga practice. The highlight of this bag is undoubtedly the ample amount of space it provides. After spending days googling 'XL yoga duffel bags', I finally decided to give this one a shot when I saw that it could fit multiple yoga mats, blocks and towels - and boy, was it true! I've never been able to bring everything I need to the studio or gym with such ease. Another thing that I absolutely love about this bag is that it's vegan and environmentally friendly. As someone who's conscious about their impact on the environment, knowing that I'm using a product that aligns with my values gives me peace of mind. Plus, for every unit sold, Kindfolk donates $1 to FITS STANDARD, a charity that helps end slavery worldwide. However, one of the cons I noticed is that the straps could be slightly longer.

2024.05.19 07:07 Expensive-Version-31 Just Re-discovered Google's "Inspect" Feature
Have you guys ever used Chrome's "inspect" feature?(I assume it's a chrome thing but maybe it's in other browsers too?) I discovered it years ago. I was sitting in a middle school math class, and we were doing work on a website called IXL, where you had to do problems for like 20 minutes. I must have accidentally right-clicked, and then noticed the "Inspect" option at the bottom of the toolbar. It was pretty exciting to discover. I was pretty bored at the moment(probably stuck on a math problem), so it was pretty fun to play around with. All I could really figure out was how to change text to say different things and change the dimensions of certain images. The best part was that IXL had a timer that kept track of how long you'd been working. So in theory(never had the guts to actually do it), you could change the time to say you'd met the time requirement and then you'd be done.
I always loved showing off cool easter eggs and keyboard shortcuts to my friends, so this was definitely a new favorite. At some point they(the school) must have caught on, because the option was blocked from our computers at some point. Today I remembered it was a thing so I've had fun messing around with it again.
I'd be interested to hear if people actually use this, what its intended purpose is, what you can do with it, etc. I know Google built an entire text adventure game inside it at some point.

2024.05.19 07:06 Lazaruszs pywinauto not sending keystrokes to application
Hello,
I'm new to using pywinauto for some automation. I'm in the process of making a program that can automate on Pokemon Heartgold by using DesMuME. Initially, I was using pyautogui to automate the keystrokes and it was working perfectly. However, pyautogui needs the window to be in focus, which makes it so that I cannot use my computer to do other things in the meantime. This is when I started looking into pywinauto, to try and send keys to the program in the background while I do other things.
The issue is that none of the keystrokes are being sent. I'm still very new to pywinauto, and I might be doing things incorrectly, but I am not entirely sure. I've tried methods like type_keys(), send_chars() and send_keystrokes() but I was getting errors on each of them. I tried importing the send_keys() method from pywinauto.keyboard, but it doesn't work.
This is the code I have so far to initialize the application:

from pywinauto import Application from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys import pywinauto import time app = Application(backend='uia').connect(title_re='DeSmuME') desmume = app.window(title_re='DeSmuME') # Even trying to send keystrokes while the window is focused, no luck # desmume.set_focus() # attempts at sending keys: desmume.type_keys('{UP}') desmume.send_chars('{UP}') # Error desmume.send_keystrokes('{UP}') # Error send_keys('{UP}') I don't really know what else there is to try. The pyautogui solution works as it should, but this would make it so much easier to run the program and leave it in the background while I do other things. If anyone knows how to fix, I would greatly appreciate it.2024.05.19 07:05 slytherinHBIC S1: Silas
I feel like everyone else in this sub is up to date, but I just started watching this show like yesterday lol.
But I need to speak to someone about Silas. He pisses me off so much it’s not even funny. Apparently his wife (Jasmine? I get all of the girls confused, but that’s another matter) plays some kind of trad wife role when it’s just the two of them, but she’s acting like a modern woman for the most part on this trip. So many weird little things have happened, where if I was her friend, I would be side eyeing them the whole time. The part that finally made have to make a post was him having a temper tantrum about… getting dressed himself? He just made a big deal about her ironing clothes “unnecessarily” according to him the episode before and she accidentally burned his pants, but now he’s upset that she didn’t read his mind and steam his clothes without him asking or offer to help him get dressed. Like you’re a grown man, why do you need help? It was also weird he was going in on her burning the cheese but running around without his wedding ring.
Also he talks about how he likes routines and mansplaining things because he’s in the military 🙄. Mans joined the military as a RESERVIST like a year ago, you’re not even in the military fr, why is it your whole personality. The way he acts you’d think he was 10 years in serving full time and had been living the military life from middle school JROTC.

One of the unique features of this mount is that it's easy to install at home without needing any specialist tools. Plus, it didn't interfere with the SWAT system, which is a definite plus!

Upon trying out the Explore Scientific T-Shaped Finder Scope Base, which I affectionately refer to as the Essential Finder Base, I was truly impressed by its performance. First and foremost, the base is incredibly user-friendly. The easy-to-install design allowed me to swiftly mount the finder scope to my telescope without any hassle. The sturdy construction ensures a secure connection, providing peace of mind during my celestial adventures. One highlight that truly stands out is the compact size. With its dimensions of 50mm in length and 51mm in width, this base seamlessly fits a variety of telescope configurations. The lightweight nature, weighing just 1.29 oz, adds to its convenience.

It's the perfect addition to any telescope, providing a stable base for mounting the finder scope of your choice. The highlight of this product, for me, was the ease of installation. It literally took me a few minutes to set it up, thanks to the provided mounting screws. The knurled knobs on the base really make locking the finder into place a breeze. However, it's not all smooth sailing. One inconvenience was the lack of lock washers in the box which, although not a deal-breaker, would have been a nice addition for added security. Overall, the Explore Scientific Finder Scope Base was a pleasant surprise in terms of functionality and ease. Despite a minor hiccup, it's a winner in my book for those who enjoy stargazing and want their equipment to be secure and robust. 🔗Reptilia Flat Dark Earth 34mm Mini 14 Scope Mounthttps://preview.redd.it/vm4idowgfb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c15a01befbfa1f00627695155d939f46ef1f24dc I recently had the opportunity to try out the Reptilia Aus Mount, a 34mm scope mount with a Flat Dark Earth finish.

Using the Reptilia Aus Mount in my daily life has been a breeze. The sleek design fits seamlessly with my Mini 14 setup, and the secure locking mechanism ensures that the scope stays firmly in place. One thing that stood out to me was the anodized finish, which not only looks great but also provides protection against the elements. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. Firstly, the installation process could have been a bit easier, especially for beginners. And secondly, the price point might be a bit steep for some users. All in all, if you're looking for a high-quality scope mount with a stylish finish and great durability, the Reptilia Aus Mount is definitely worth considering.

This 35mm Mount, with an anodized finish and compatibility with all of Reptilia's 30mm ROF line, has added a touch of elegance to my optical setup. I was particularly drawn to its custom bolt mounting system, which can be tightened using either a 5/32 hex or a flat blade driver. This feature allows the AUS Mount to sit snugly on the M1913 Picatinny rail, giving it a streamlined low-profile design. One aspect of the AUS Mount that I found truly remarkable was its machining from a single piece of billet 7075-T6 aluminum, combined with the MIL-STD Type III, Class 2, hard anodize coating. Not only does it make for a high-quality material but also adds durability to the product. However, one thing I noticed was that the AUS Mount was slightly trickier to install and remove from the M1913 Picatinny rail than I initially expected.

The mount offers a smooth and seamless experience thanks to its precision stepper motors and micro-step motion control system. Plus, the built-in bearings and high-precision worm gears simply add to the quality of this product. However, I did notice a couple of drawbacks. The weight of the counterweights might be a bit disappointing for some, and I'd have liked to see a full cable included instead of an auto lighter one. All in all, it's a solid choice for stargazers and astrophotographers seeking accurate and reliable tracking. 🔗Unity FDE Offset Base Fast Optic Adapterhttps://preview.redd.it/qqwik11ifb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=631f1ccff586bbec34c5e4f1a809cc9dbcc62b97 After trying out Unity Tactical's FAST Offset Base FDE, I quickly found myself appreciating the versatility it offered.

What really stood out to me was the compatibility with UNITY's LPVO mounts. It made adjusting my scope a breeze and allowed me to fine-tune my shot more easily. However, I did notice that it required UNITY-specific optic plates, which added a layer of confusion and potential compatibility issues. Despite its minor drawbacks, the UNITY FAST Offset Base FDE proved to be a reliable and effective accessory in my arsenal.

Right out of the box, I was impressed by its sleek and sturdy construction. The built-in illuminated polar scope made aligning the mount a breeze, while the dual position counterweight allowed me to handle low latitudes with ease. One of the standout features for me was the smartphone Wi-Fi control, which let me have full command over the device using my smartphone. However, I did encounter some minor software glitches, which required a bit of troubleshooting. The device's versatility in tracking rates caught my attention, particularly the lunar, solar, and sidereal options. This made capturing the night sky's wonders a truly effortless experience. The 11-pound payload capacity also proved to be more than sufficient for my various equipment setups. However, there were a few areas where the Star Adventurer GTi fell short. The mount's intermittent disconnecting, whether using Wi-Fi or USB, introduced some frustration. Additionally, the Dec tracking was far from ideal, which I had to address by tweaking polar alignment and dialing in PHD2 parameters. Despite these minor issues, I had a mostly positive experience with the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Mount Kit. Its combination of features, ease of use, and reasonable price make it an impressive choice for those looking to dive into deep space, widefield, and nightscape astrophotography. 🔗Versatile Spotting Scope Clamp for Precision Viewinghttps://preview.redd.it/ojdr1jnifb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be70613f8f61c770129fd141c271e0dd53bb2b89 I recently gave the Table Clamp Mount for Spotting Scope a try, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my outdoor activities.

2024.05.19 07:04 Ok_Start1379 Do you think therapy can help me (27F) and my (ex)fiancé (28M) repair our relationship?
My (ex)fiancé and I had been together for almost 6.5 years, engaged for almost 2.5. Over the last several months, my (ex)fiancé has sat me down to talk about our relationship about once a month. Before these conversations, he would shut down and barely speak to me for several days even when I would ask what was wrong. Then he would finally tell me he was ready to have a conversation and would express his frustrations with the relationship. By the time of our conversations, I would already be on the defensive from his recent behavior. I also generally do not receive feedback well. When he would try to tell me that he was unhappy in our relationship because I didn't compliment him enough, flirt with him enough, or tell him I loved him enough, I would shut down. I was not able to hear what he was really trying to tell me. Instead, I put up a wall and told him to love me for who I am. I basically asked him "If I'm happy in our relationship despite my frustrations, why can't you be?" I now realize that is not an appropriate or healthy response when your partner is trying to communicate with you.
I did try to hear him. I gifted him some lingerie for the first time and let him take a boudoir photo shoot of me wearing it. I started sending a few more cute messages. I tried to make more time to cuddle with him when he would ask. I tried to give him more hugs. I tried to thank him more for picking up around the house. I wrote him a cute letter and surprised him with a few gifts for Easter. However, about a month ago, we had another one of those conversations. Except this time the first things he brought up were 'wondering what else is out there' and talking about how other girls are always complimenting him. Again came the walls and extra defensiveness. I ended up writing him a letter talking about how I didn't know if I could ever be what he wanted me to be and that maybe he should think about calling things off. This was obviously a defense mechanism to try to beat him to the punch line and talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy. Three weeks later he would sit me down and tell me he wanted to know what else was out there again and that he didn't know if he could go through with marrying me. My efforts did not feel like enough for him and I understand why. I was having a hard time connecting my emotions with my actions which made my actions seem reactionary and not genuine or provoked by love.
I have been through a lot more trauma in my life than I realized. My dad was in the Navy while I was growing up. We had to move every three years. A very pivotal point in my life was when we moved when I was in the 6th grade. I lived right next door to my best friend. I was finding my love for math and theater. I also played soccer and was a Girl Scout. When we moved, I became very depressed, though I didn't understand that's what it was at the time. I stopped all of my extracurricular activities. I stopped getting too close to people because I knew I would have to move or they would have to move eventually. I mostly stayed in my room and kept to myself, even from my family. I also have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. Then, in my senior year of high school, I got my first-ever boyfriend. We were in a relationship for over 4 years. In that relationship, I would always be the one to try to talk about our problems. I would be the one who would always want longer hugs and more cuddles. But it was not a healthy relationship. We broke up and got back together many times. I found several illicit texts to other girls on multiple occasions and he would always gaslight me by saying his younger brother stole his phone or I misinterpreted the messages. I think this caused me not to want to show my emotions because it wasn't reciprocated and resulted in heartache. Then, three years ago my younger brother died in a tragic car accident at the age of 17.
When I realized I could lose the love of my life, I realized that he was right about me not being affectionate enough. I had built up walls to protect myself. I thought I had made progress on my anxiety and depression, but I realized I was wrong. I also realized that I have issues with communication, trust, and vulnerability. I was a great partner in other ways and I did express my love in other ways. I moved across the country, coast to coast, with him to a state where I didn't know anyone so that he could attend his dream school. I take care of the household. I get the majority of the groceries. I do all of the cooking. I do all of the maintenance cleaning. I take care of our 2 cats and 1 dog. I say all of those in the present tense because we currently still live together but are sleeping in separate rooms. I also financially supported him by lending him money and letting him pay less of the rent because I made more money. I accept all of him including that he has terrible time management skills, he can have a hard time controlling his emotions at times, and he is disorganized and messy. I also accepted that I would have to wait for marriage and children because of his school and accepted that he did not have a lot of free time between school, work, and his hobbies. I supported his love for his hobbies by accepting his purchasing of expensive equipment even when he owed me money, traveling to watch several events that were important to him, and traveling to see him win an award from his job. I would write heartfelt cards for every holiday. I also bought him dozens of children's books about love that I wanted us to read to our children one day.
When I realized I could lose him, I felt something change inside me. It was like I could feel a hole being blown in the wall I had built up. I felt all my love for him overwhelm me. I couldn't hug him, kiss him, or tell him I love him enough. I tried to talk to him to apologize for my behavior and how badly I'd hurt him. I tried to explain how I felt like a different person and how I really wanted to work hard on improving myself as a partner to make our relationship work. I tried to prove my words with actions. I wrote a list of things I needed to work on including communication and being more affectionate. I also wrote out a list of ways to work on those things and actually started doing the things on the list. Some of the items I had already begun to do like hug and kiss him more and tell him I love him more. I also tried to ask more questions about his interests/hobbies/day. I was more vulnerable and talked with him about my feelings more. I even initiated intimacy, something I had really only done once in a blue moon when I was intoxicated.
Despite all of my efforts, over the next two weeks, he continued to say he did not know if he could be with me and wanted to know what else was out there. He was very wavering and said multiple times "I don't know what the right decision is." He said he could not trust that my changes would last and that it was probably too late. I begged him to try couples therapy, but he refused and said "Therapy takes too long" and basically said it wasn't worth the time. He finally broke up with me after 2 weeks of going back and forth and I was devastated. He later talked to a mutual friend of ours and changed his mind about therapy. I was so happy to hear that he had changed his mind. However, now I feel like I can't even trust him anymore. He's turning into a person I don't recognize and I don't know what he's capable of anymore. I don't know if the man I love still exists. When he told me he was now agreeable to try therapy he said "We're still broken up, but I won't talk to any other girls." and then promptly said "And it will give me more time to find a place to live if things don't work out." He deleted several Instagram posts that had photos of me after he agreed to try therapy which makes me think he's not actually that open to healing our relationship. He complained to me about how he might have to take out student loans after I told him he needed to pay me for half of the rent while we're broken up and not decreased rate he had been paying me. He also "checked on me" on the night of the 3rd year anniversary of my brother's death when he heard me crying. Then he just sat on the end of the bed scrolling his phone while I cried as if he was checking on me because he felt like he had to and not because he wanted to. When I asked him if he had some sort of deadline in mind for the therapy, because he had previously mentioned that it takes too long, he said July or August and I have a suspicion that is because a girl he likes is leaving for summer break but will be back at the end of August for the next semester.
I just feel like the way he has been acting is not how you act towards someone you were in a relationship with for almost 6.5 years. Especially after saying you still love them and have no negative feelings towards them. That means even though you don't think you are a good relationship match, you should still want to treat them with respect. You should care that they are hurting during this time. You should want to comfort them in their grief of a separate event. You should mean it if you say you want to try therapy.
TL; DR : Do you think therapy will help?

2024.05.19 07:03 bigdumbhick Gone to the dark side - Tele
I just posted this in guitar
Im 62 years old. I've been playing acoustic for 40+ years. Im primarily a Bluegrass type player. I've recorded several albums (Google my username). I'm not much of a lead player. I'm a strong rhythm player. I play the melody from within open chord positions.
I've gone to the dark side and bought my first Tele. This thing is totally weird. It has sustain. Knobs are getting in the way. I'm having to completely adjust my right hand position and playing style. Less arm movement more wrist. I find myself playing more Barre chords on electric than on acoustic. I just put the guitar in the shop today for a set up with much heavier strings. (11s)
I know nothing about playing electric. This doesn't feel anything like my D-18. It was suggested that I approach this like a total newbie. Which YouTube channel would you recommend? I know all my chords, which chords belong to which keys. I can play Barre chords all the way up the neck.
But how do I make this transition to electric? Do I start from scratch? Learn scales? Caged patterns? Where do I start?

2024.05.19 07:03 Individual-Chicken79 Help My Cousin
Hello
I (21F) have been fairly close with my aunt, uncle, and cousins most of my life. my siblings and I grew up with them and we’ve spent many hours with them.
My cousin (17 almost 18M) just graduated from high school. my aunt and uncle are very controlling and want to control him for the rest of his life. He was dating this girl that’s not a christian and his parents looooved her and she got along well with them as well as some of his siblings. He really liked her and put a lot of work into their relationship. My aunt and uncle wanted him to go to fight school in her town and stay with her and her family after he graduated. This isnt a great idea as it would be good for him to go to college and experience the world. Also living with your girlfriend is not a good thing i think.… so they dated for almost a year when he found out she was cheating on him and was sending nudes to different guys. It devastated him and at one point called her and was crying and she laughed at him. They broke up and he began to think more about what he was going to do after high school. He visited a school near me with a good flight program and a good football team that he could get into. It seemed like he really liked it and was thinking about going there. I talked to his older sister, my other cousin, and she thinks being in a team would be really good for him since he thrives with teams. He was in football in high school and was really good. the school is also in a good location and not too expensive. Today, about a month after he visited the college, I saw him and he was with his ex girlfriend and theyre back together. He’s now planning on doing what my aunt and uncle wanted him to do and living with her. I really love him and I dont want him to throw his life away for a girl who isnt good just because his parents like her. I want to talk to him but dont know how to… hes a very basic christian and im not sure if he really cares anymore but I hope he does. My sister (19F) is really close to him and has talked to him but she’s also very blunt and can be rude. Today she went up to his girlfriend and said ”i thought you were a cheater.” To which his girlfriend replied ”that was a mistake” and walked away.
Is there anything I can do? He has so much potential and I dont want him to waste his life.

2024.05.19 07:01 Quiet-Interaction-23 How to be a pillar of support?
Backstory: Like everyone else here I come from a dysfunctional family with a history of abuse. There was also a religious aspect so a lot of shame/guilt/projections etc.
I'm coming to terms with the fact that I was pretty much brainwashed and had an incredibly distorted view of reality that only got better after a psychotic episode I had late adolescence/early adulthood. Im trying to "go through the fire" rather than just "move on" from the trauma and to put everything in a different lens has been earth shattering and heartbreaking for me. But I have a younger sibling that I'm especially worried about.
She's in high school right now, a little older than I was when I first started showing signs of the diagnosis I have now but she's definitely not well adjusted and in alignment with her peers. I played a part in her trauma though. I was not protective of her the way I should've been and treated her the way I was treated by my older siblings. When I was in hs I did what I could to be a better brother but I was starting to lose my mind and often isolated myself. She was just a kid and when I started having hallucinations I would 'hear' her knocking on my door asking to play again :(.
My mental health is better, hard to say by how much but only time will tell. I want to dedicate the rest of my life to being there for her and my family in a real sense and I'm not sure how. I didn't have a support system going through my HS years and psychosis other than hospitalizations and bouncing from therapist to therapist, so I don't really know what to do. As of rn, we bond over video games and I try to play with her when she can but I'm worried it's not enough. I'm worried that not being there when she was young and the times I was cruel and what I now see as abusive will prevent a bridge of trust for us. I'm worried she's closing herself of from the world and will end up like I did — isolated and vulnerable.
Is there anything I can do to be a better brother? A better support? I ask this sub specifically because not everyone can fill in some blanks for certain relationships dynamics. Some siblings don't get along and it's seen as normal but in our family there's no room or excuse for me to be anything but positive and uplifting and I see that now.
If anyone has made progress in their healing, what's externally has helped you? Whos helped you and how?
Thanks

2024.05.19 07:01 gummyminn Unlocking Potential: The Importance of Vocational Training at Pehchaan The Street School
“Vocational Education is the education that prepares students with skills that make them employable for certain specific jobs. Traditionally vocational education was looked at in fields such as artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, technicians, etc. Vocational courses give students valuable and hands-on exposure to the real-world applications of things they may or may not have learnt in school. One should also note that Vocational training helps students think about a variety of practical aspects and applications of their education. Vocational education can help students gain deeper context into their learning by being able to relate what is taught in class to their practical applications.”
Pehchaan The Street School believes that for a child to truly grow and educate themselves better one should be open to all forms and ways of learning, which would also give them an idea and knowledge of the real world outside that also requires dealing with the problems smoothly and efficiently. With the learning and education of practical knowledge around them, the children can also contribute to the society and their families in order to earn a living for themselves and also strive to improve their current existing living conditions around them.
Importance of Teaching Children the Important Skills
In the current time, the job market is really competitive and this requires the individuals that posses the skills of excellence and competence both that the companies require and look for in their employees which will therefore enable them to get the jobs that they aim for if they possess the certain skills that are required by companies. Pehchaan The Street School provides training to make sure that the children are ready and competent enough with proper skills to compete in the job market and be ready for the outside world challenges.
Boosting one’s Self Esteem
As much as it is important to be competent and hard working enough to land a good job, Pehchaan The Street School believes that in the absence of good self esteem and confidence it won’t be enough for an individual to truly excel in their life as lack of fluency in communication and languages can make a huge difference. The organization also trains the children in providing them classes that focus on their personality development, and their communication skills while interacting and negotiating with other people.
Team of Hard Working Staff
With a team of hardworking and responsible staff working at the organization , the children are provided with teachers that are sensitive to their needs and also cater to the needs and requirements of each and every child with focus, and the curriculum is also specially designed keeping in mind the needs of each and every child. This would ensure that the children stay attentive in the classrooms and it would in turn lead to an increase in the attention span and lead to better focus among the students. The teachers also ensure that each and every child takes part in the classroom discussions that are organized pretty often to ensure that the class participation is high and that each and every child can come up with their ideas and opinions which could further enhance the creativity among the children. Here learning is done in a very fun and interactive way through different classroom discussions and activities that are organized for the children which will allow them to unleash their hidden potential.
Community Building among Children
Pehchaan The Street School is a large organization, where many children coming from different cultures and backgrounds come together to study and learn new things. This would also foster a sense of unity among the children as they would also be required to work in group activities with their members which would in turn create a safe and respectable environment for each and every child. Not only this, but since the children will be required to work in group settings with each other it would teach them the values and important skill of managing time and meeting with the deadlines and also the important skill of conflict resolution to resolve conflicts if they ever arise among the group members, leading to creating strong friendships among the children and respect and empathy for each other.
Therefore, concluding this discussion we can see that vocational training has many benefits and does not only serve one but many purposes that have been mentioned and discussed above in the sections. It is very necessary for the teaching methods to also include vocational training for the students in order to ensure that they become responsible and well functioning individuals for the society and can also develop themselves.

Pehchaan The Street School believes that for a child to truly grow and educate themselves better one should be open to all forms and ways of learning, which would also give them an idea and knowledge of the real world outside that also requires dealing with the problems smoothly and efficiently. With the learning and education of practical knowledge around them, the children can also contribute to the society and their families in order to earn a living for themselves and also strive to improve their current existing living conditions around them.
Importance of Teaching Children the Important Skills
In the current time, the job market is really competitive and this requires the individuals that posses the skills of excellence and competence both that the companies require and look for in their employees which will therefore enable them to get the jobs that they aim for if they possess the certain skills that are required by companies. Pehchaan The Street School provides training to make sure that the children are ready and competent enough with proper skills to compete in the job market and be ready for the outside world challenges.

I don't really post much but I just want to know if someone in this sub already read about this isekai which for me one of the decent ones out there unfortunately it's not much translated.
It's a WN and have more than 2k chapters of main story and 1k+ chapters of sidestory back in earth.
Genre:Isekai,Harem,Fantasy,Scifi,Tragedy?(Flash back),PoV,Mystery
Main plot A whole school is transported to another world with our mc in it. Surprisingly enough all amenities are still working including water, electricity and sewage. People don't just get powers yhough amd yhey need to learn things to survive. The twist is the MC actually already get isekaid in this world , he even brought the former demon lord with him and is disguising as a student(she's his lover and she's not the only one)and is thinking of going back after creating the magic to do so, he thought it's a little bit early but surprised that he is transported back 500 years in the future. He now plans on guiding the whole school to survive in the background while hiding his powers, that mind you he doesn't really mind if discovered but it's easier for him if they don't know much about it( chaos will ensue if they think he can bring them home just because his op)
Characters: You can check the characters here but I'll mainly talk about MC Kaito Amane, the MC, normaly is a chill dude and level headed his your typical normal black haired mc the only difference is his been describe to be handsome instead of the usual loser mc has a circle of friends but is not one of those every body in school knows him type of popular. That is until he stops restricting his magic then he becomes brash and a little bit arrogant but not the douche type arrogant, just the confident one , he also is a battle maniac even if he doesn't want to admit it, and surprisingly this is actually his real personality the reason for him being so calm and collected type or quite type in his suppressed state is because mana is directly link to the psyche and suppressing it also suppresses his emotions or atleast lessen it.
Socially the guy know how to make friends, he hates slavers to his core (because of past experience) and think owning a slave is one of the worst thing a human can do(depending on how the slave state though , he understood that slaves can only survive as slave sometimes). On the Harem aspect of the story the guy is a chad , no rape (there's just that one time when schatach rape him because she's stronger that time), he don't engage sexual activities with minor(his older than he looks but there's a reason why he still go to highschool) and he does his best to givr time to each other harem mems(going on date and hanging out not just sex) and most of his relationships are actually just natural. Aside from that his a solid homie and us actually wingmans some other guy friends too.
The Story Story is freaking long, and slow burn fights Don't happened much but interactions are gold, when there's fights though it's actually epic and the power system is mwah frech kiss( I won't spoil this because this is one of the best parts although the different power systems are laid slowly). It has different PoVs and The MC don't just steam roll the problems and it make sense, the characters are very distinct to each other and have their own personalities. This WN have other guys not just the MC and not just MC harem and not everyone falls inlove with the mc. Something funny is that one classmate has his own unwanted harem and Kaito gets a feeling of comraderie( Kaito is not supposed to have a harem at first but the other worlds sense of value and sense of duty leads him to having one). Andy favorite part of the story os unveiling Kaitos past because every new thing we learned about Kaito new questions pops up. The story is also linked to earth which is cool. The PoV changes is one thing I enjoyed to here the PoVs are not meant to show the mcs opness (only sometimes) but to build the world to others eyes or just to show their daily life. The tone can change from a drop of a dime at one time it's fun and all and yhe next time you know theres death. The world itself is intriguing and the history for the 500 years that has beem skip is one of the biggest mystery in the story.
I think that's the point I caan think for now. I love it and the author is releasing regularly theres even a yime that he releases 3 chaps a day. It's a solid story that every isekai lover will love( I think ?)so give it a try.

2024.05.19 07:00 Evandeeebear PSA for Boardwalk Expos
Boardwalk expos are undoubtedly the best farm right now if you’re looking for legendary modules, EXP, stamps (600 stamps for full union armor next big patch in June) and random legendary drops (I got a unyielding SS piece from there). When done right, you get all these juicy goodies AND 20000 completion exp (with lunchbox buffs) under 5-7 mins.
I’ve been hosting my own runs for a while now and just thought I’d do a little tips and tricks for the community.

I’ve been hosting my own runs for a while now and just thought I’d do a little tips and tricks for the community.
For newbies:
- Join the Fallout 76 discords! This includes the Market76 discord as well. There’s a looking-for-group channel which always has people advertising for Boardwalk groups.
- Don’t be afraid to try it out! Fun is subjective yes but it’s free content that’s thrown into the game! If you don’t like it after trying it, no problem! Community is also really nice and will help you out
- Don’t worry too much about your gear for now. Build > gear (most of the time) and it doesn’t take much to get set up. Most players in the community are strong enough to solo all the enemies in boardwalk anyway. You can help out by learning objectives and doing them promptly
- Do the MAIN objectives and leave the emoting after killing competitiors to only AFTER you get into the aquarium. The best way to keep each run short is for the leader to be able to get into showman’s pier as fast as he can. See Overgrown Moonflower? Kill that shit, Unlock Keeper’s prisoner cages? Unlock that shit, fireworks? Wait at the next firework location to minimise time. You can do the competitor killing objective in the Aquarium while waiting for the escortee, waiting at Sharks Den and also while throwing Tatos.
- Learn the teddy bear locations. There’s only 5. A quick YouTube search teaches you where all 5 of them will be and their location is always the same. Ideally the Leader shouldn’t be the one getting the teddy bear as he/she will be beelining to Jucchi/Jullian and then to the Aquarium. Thus, team members should be the ones gunning for the teddy bear
- Power armor users STAY THE F*% away from the escortee! The escort is probably the worst objective ever and you blocking them in the doorway is only going to make them slower! Instead you can run around opening doors and killing enemies to make the escortee AI smoother. I’ve also tested doing the escort in Private Sessions vs Public Servers and felt that the escortee is smoother in Private Sessions.
- Hosts if you are stuck on the bench after waking up after talking to Mother Charlotte, open up your map, hover your cursor to a empty black diamond objective and click “Show on Pip boy” and make sure your view is on the animation where your character actually raises their hand to see the pip boy. It should unstuck you and let you get off the lawn chair.
2024.05.19 06:59 Dangerous-Record-404 A recent break up from avoidant and emotionally unavailable ex
I had an avoidant lesbian ex who has bipolar disorder, ptsd, and depressive disorder, we just recently broke up last march 29; our situationship lasted around 6 months and we’ve been bestiess for 10 months. We’ve been through a lot whether as friends and lovers; i can say that our emotional connection is pretty deep and no one had made her feel that way as she said that i was her first love and first crush as well as she considered herself as demiromantic before.
i was the one who initiated the break up because i already hurt her pretty badly and we got to a lot of circumstances already although that time she had tried to fix everything about us, i still choose to let go of her for the better. The fact that she also agreed to me at the first place; as she believes that we might not really meant for each other but she admitted that she still loves me that time. So after that, we got to no contact for almost 2 weeks and i got a heartbreaking message from her; she said that she already had move on, she already have realized her worth and she’s no longer romantically attracted to me. At first it truly made my heart broken into pieces and i felt very confused since the last time we talked i thought she still loves me and she still have hopes for us in the future :((( but all of the sudden all those things just completely faded away, all of our dreams just completely gone.regardless of how hard it was, I’ve tried to accept it and get working on myself as well. After those convos, we got to no contact again for another 3 weeks. By this time we got so see each other and talk again irl after a month of break up, she eventually confessed that she’s already with someone :((( but she still wanna be friends to me, hangout and keep in touch; to me i feel very miserable that time, i can hardly believe from everything she said like bro it just one month after our break up and suddenly she’s into someone new?? Wth i think she’s still mad at me for everything i’ve done even until now and even though she had said she already forgave me, i still feel that she hate and love me at the same time. Recently I just found out who’s her special someone and i got deeply burdened and surprised who’s that; it’s her old friend from grade school, he’s a boy omggg like how?? :[[[ and there’s a fact that he’s the boy who made me jealous and the reason of the confict we had at our past arguments. The fact that i already had smelled something fishy to that boy. Now i think h truly have crush on my ex and he just grabbed the opportunity he had after we broke up :((( i feel very miserable now, this pain is unfathomable :(( i can’t imagine them. I think my ex was just seeking revenge to me that’s why she’s in to this boy, i think he was just a rebound. Please help me peeps i’ve been suffering insanely as ever, i feel bad for everything :(( i’m seeking to any advice please, i need to motivate myself to cope up and get over with everything.

2024.05.19 06:58 Splinterman11 Can Return To YouTube Dislike numbers be trusted? By their own calculations, a small number of users can heavily skew the Like/Dislike count
So I just figured out that the RYD numbers can be fake. With just a small number of RYD users, they can completely ratio the like counter with dislikes if you view from RYD. Here's how the calculation is done listed on their own github page: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike/blob/main/Docs/FAQ.md
RYD Dislike Count = (RYD Users Dislike Count/RYD Users Like Count) x Public Like Count
If the video was uploded after YouTube stopped giving the dislike counter API, RYD uses the formula they provided to calculate the total dislikes by extrapolating the data from its own user base.
Meaning a small ratio of RYD users can dwarf the public like count. Let's use an example from the Japanese trailer of AC Shadows linked here: https://youtu.be/lZN-kKoGevo?si=c_AeTUZlPYLG78yd
As of now, the Public Like count is at 3.5k while the Dislike count (I am using the extension) is sitting at 34k.
Now lets use the formula RYD provides to calculate the dislike count.
Lets say 1000 RYD users dislike the video while 100 RYD users like the video. 1000/100 = 10
Now we multiply that number by the Public Like Count, which is 3.5k. 3500 x 10 = 35k
So, it looks like with only 1000 users on RYD we can paint a picture that there is a much higher dislike ratio than there actually is on this video.
The conclusion?
While it depends on the video, this proves that there is a possibility of a biased calculation in RYD's numbers, because it only ESTIMATES the amount of total actual dislikes by using the ratio of numbers provided by those who are using the extension.
Am I wrong here? Am I doing these calculations correctly? I'm genuinely curious, because I was interested in seeing how people were getting dislike numbers if YouTube disabled them years ago. I saw that people were using Return to YouTube dislike to get their numbers, and I was curious to see how they calculated their numbers if the API for YouTube was disabled. Have I stumbled onto something here?
According to their Github, around 5 million people have downloaded the extension. YouTube's monthly active users are at 2.5 billion. That means only 0.2% of Youtube users contribute to RYD numbers. Can we really trust the numbers this extension is giving us?

2024.05.19 06:58 carolinethebandgeek I just found the perfect major for me after an almost decade of struggling and I can’t get a degree in it
So I took 3 years of school before this year, when I finally decided to go back. It’s been an almost 6 year hiatus, but much of the reason I couldn’t graduate was because I couldn’t figure out a major. I decided last fall I was going to say fuck it and get a degree in business. I’m now attending my third school overall online.
We have to take an intro to the college of business course and they started talking about Management Information Systems. This degree is everything I want to do. It’s only available in person. The school is 2.5 hours away from me and I wouldn’t be able to afford on campus tuition. Their program is apparently highly sought after and is statistically very successful.
I would LOVE to get this degree, but I don’t see how I can make it work, at least with this school. I could get it in 3 semesters, which is just one more semester than I need right now to graduate. I would wholeheartedly do it if I could make it work somehow. It seems like an amazing major.
I’m so sad. I feel like all this time has just been wasted. It’s not that the general business degree won’t help me, but the MIS degree would be literal perfection for what I want to do. I guess I’ll have to look around and see what else is out there, but it’s very disheartening.

2024.05.19 06:58 usoto2022 Anxiety over quarter system credits for pre-requisite
Hi everyone! I have encountered issues when it comes to assessing whether I meet pre-requisite fulfillment for programs. I went to UC San Diego for undergrad, which is a quarter system based school. I have been looking at programs that for example require a 4 semester units of Chem 1 with lab and Chem 2 with lab. My school was different. A full year of general chemistry consists of Chem 6A, 6B, 6C, and 7L with each course being 4 quarter units. Chem 6A to 6C were three quarters of lecture material, no labs accompanied each class. Chem 7L was the sole lab course that accompanied the entire year general chemistry series, rather than a mixture of a lab and lecture in one course like most semester school general chemistry courses.
It gets even more complicated when it comes to general biology. A year of general biology at my university consists of BILD 1, BILD 2, and BILD 3, however NO general biology lab accompanied this. There was a weird 2 unit introductory BILD 4 “lab” but it wasn’t necessarily a general biology lab. Rather, UCSD stated that to fulfill the PA school general biology requirement, students would take BILD1, BILD2, BILD3 AND any upper division biology lab which is what I did. I took a 4 quarter upper division molecular biology lab. One thing to note is I took two gap quarters for Winter and Spring 2020 due to my mom’s work injury that led to me working to help pay rent on the home while she recovered and decided to take general education courses at my local community college to save $ and keep up with my credits to graduate on time when I returned that summer. During this time, I did take a semester of general biology 1 with lab thinking I would get credit for BILD 3 so I would only take BILD 1 and 2 when I returned. However, UCSD required both semesters of Bio 1 and Bio 2 to fulfill the ENTIRE year of general bio as they don’t transfer credit for just one of the courses. So, the one semester of Bio 1 with lab gave me zero transfer credit and I just took BILD 1-3 when I returned.
Sorry for the long post and how confusing my explanation could be and how complicated my undergrad institution is, but did any of you have issues applying to PA programs coming from quarter system schools? I’m worried I’d just waste money applying to these schools since I’d just get automatic rejections for not fulfilling the pre-requisite requirements as some programs don’t even mention quarter system credits on their PA program prerequisite courses.

It gets even more complicated when it comes to general biology. A year of general biology at my university consists of BILD 1, BILD 2, and BILD 3, however NO general biology lab accompanied this. There was a weird 2 unit introductory BILD 4 “lab” but it wasn’t necessarily a general biology lab. Rather, UCSD stated that to fulfill the PA school general biology requirement, students would take BILD1, BILD2, BILD3 AND any upper division biology lab which is what I did. I took a 4 quarter upper division molecular biology lab. One thing to note is I took two gap quarters for Winter and Spring 2020 due to my mom’s work injury that led to me working to help pay rent on the home while she recovered and decided to take general education courses at my local community college to save $ and keep up with my credits to graduate on time when I returned that summer. During this time, I did take a semester of general biology 1 with lab thinking I would get credit for BILD 3 so I would only take BILD 1 and 2 when I returned.

2024.05.19 06:57 Dangerous-Record-404 A recent break up with avoidant and emotionally available ex
I had an avoidant lesbian ex who has bipolar disorder, ptsd, and depressive disorder, we just recently broke up last march 29; our situationship lasted around 6 months and we’ve been bestiess for 10 months. We’ve been through a lot whether as friends and lovers; i can say that our emotional connection is pretty deep and no one had made her feel that way as she said that i was her first love and first crush as well as she considered herself as demiromantic before.
i was the one who initiated the break up because i already hurt her pretty badly and we got to a lot of circumstances already although that time she had tried to fix everything about us, i still choose to let go of her for the better. The fact that she also agreed to me at the first place; as she believes that we might not really meant for each other but she admitted that she still loves me that time. So after that, we got to no contact for almost 2 weeks and i got a heartbreaking message from her; she said that she already had move on, she already have realized her worth and she’s no longer romantically attracted to me. At first it truly made my heart broken into pieces and i felt very confused since the last time we talked i thought she still loves me and she still have hopes for us in the future :((( but all of the sudden all those things just completely faded away, all of our dreams just completely gone.regardless of how hard it was, I’ve tried to accept it and get working on myself as well. After those convos, we got to no contact again for another 3 weeks. By this time we got so see each other and talk again irl after a month of break up, she eventually confessed that she’s already with someone :((( but she still wanna be friends to me, hangout and keep in touch; to me i feel very miserable that time, i can hardly believe from everything she said like bro it just one month after our break up and suddenly she’s into someone new?? Wth i think she’s still mad at me for everything i’ve done even until now and even though she had said she already forgave me, i still feel that she hate and love me at the same time. Recently I just found out who’s her special someone and i got deeply burdened and surprised who’s that; it’s her old friend from grade school, he’s a boy omggg like how?? :[[[ and there’s a fact that he’s the boy who made me jealous and the reason of the confict we had at our past arguments. The fact that i already had smelled something fishy to that boy. Now i think h truly have crush on my ex and he just grabbed the opportunity he had after we broke up :((( i feel very miserable now, this pain is unfathomable :(( i can’t imagine them. I think my ex was just seeking revenge to me that’s why she’s in to this boy, i think he was just a rebound. Please help me peeps i’ve been suffering insanely as ever, i feel bad for everything :(( i’m seeking to any advice please, i need to motivate myself to cope up and get over with everything.

2024.05.19 06:56 Far_Minute_4253 TIFU by flashing my friend group
this is my first time posting but i’m trying to give as much detail w/o people being able to figure out who i am (throwaway account just in case) so if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to ask or lmk in the comments.
i (19f) had a birthday this week and decided it would be fun to go out with my friends on the weekend since we are all so busy with work and moving back home from college. most of us were available for the time and day i set so we were good to go. all week i’ve been so excited to see everyone since it’s been about 6 months since we’ve all been together since our lives have been changing a lot in this year that most of us have graduated from high school.
well come today i was getting ready and found a really cute dress that i just love since it just looks great on me and i pair it with a crop top that’s too small but works with the dress but it doesn’t fully cover my chest (big problem since i hate bras) so the dress has to fully cover it (if that makes sense). i shower, do my makeup, get dressed, and meet everyone giving out hugs and catching up at our first destination, an arcade. we have a great time playing games and hanging out beating each other in games we haven’t played in years it’s great. i decided to join a waitlist for a restaurant close so we could have better food and we have a kinda big party so i didn’t want to chance having to wait too long once we got there (important for later).
we start to cash out our tickets for candy and knickknacks and head over to the restaurant to meet up with more friends. when we get out our cars i text to check us in. we stand and wait outside for the second text message saying we can head inside. while talking we see our friends pull in then my best friend texts me to fix my dress. me being the idiot that i am stands up and asks what’s wrong not feeling the breeze on my breasts that have fallen through my two layers of clothes. i’m still so embarrassed and have no clue what to do i’m just still in shock 5 hours later. idk who all saw but i’m so scared that the guy i like saw me like that or even worse if the people around us saw it’s just so embarrassing idk what or how to feel about it i understand it’s an accident but i wish i could’ve avoided it and i feel like i could’ve. really just looking for advice or anything that could take my mind off of it, thank you!
TL;DR- i accidentally flashed my friends and maybe some people in front of a restaurant because i go braless.
