This question involves NextJS but it’s not directly related to an issue with NextJS.
I’m building an e-commerce website with Swell (swell.is) and Next JS. Swell has a Node backend API.
In their docs they have an example of how to create a product but this example doesn’t show how to add an array of images to that Product.
https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/products/create-a-product
In my NextJs project I have a form and I’m passing an array of images in the FormData to a server action.
In my server action I’m using formdata.getllAll(“images”) to get all images.
1- do I need to covert these typeof File images to a buffer or something else to be able to upload it to Swell?
2- who can tell me how to upload these to Swell using the backend API - look at the docs links I just posted above - because I Can’t figure it out.

This is a throwaway. I’m just nauseous and want to vent please let me do it here?
Everything changed about 3 years ago and my husband became my dream man. Before that, we suffered a lot in our marriage. After 2 hard pregnancies and PPD my libido was diminished and we fought all the time. After 4 years of dead bedroom we started therapy. I thought that was where the improvement came from.
My husband started paying attention to me. In the beginning I was panicking because whenever he paid me attention before he expected sex but now it felt like he was seeing me as a human being for the first time. He was attentive and caring. Emphatic. He touched and cuddled and kissed me out of the blue, without wanting sex in return. He started helping around the house, bringing me flowers, take out dinners when I work late, planning date nights. Anniversaries, birthdays and holidays are planned perfectly and I started getting the most beautiful and thoughtful gifts. When we fought, he would come the next day and admitted his wrongs and very accurately (if he was the one in the wrong) something he never did before. He would apologize too when back in the days him apologizing would be a blow to his ego. He said he was happy all the time and lucky to have us as his family. Everything was better and I even got my libido back if not as high as I hoped.
I found their conversation about 5 days ago and I have probably spent over 50 hours reading them. 3 years worth of conversation. He would tell her his woes and she would listen. 99 out of 100 times she sided with me. She taught him about intimacy and how important it is in marriages. The tragically funny part is that he never got angry or offended by her telling him off. Calling him silly, stubborn or at times man baby. Her honesty was brutal and yet he agreed with her. She was the one suggesting all the changes and he would ask her for advice about gifts, traveling and all the beautiful things he did for our family.
He thanks her all the time for helping him turn his miserable home life around, making it tolerable. With all these texts there were the texts between them that are about them like nobody else existed around them. The flirting, sextalk and pictures. The longing to see each other.
He says she is the love of his life every day and that he wishes their circumstances were different. She says the same. They both agree that divorce would ruin their families and that they couldn’t be that selfish. how admirable!
I feel nauseous. My happiness for the past three years was fake. I don’t know what to do. I want to hurt them. I want to expose them and I want to ruin whatever they think is perfect happiness
Hi!
I’m getting chat requests about my comments not being visible. Is this normal? I’m trying to answer you guys. Sorry
Hi again
Since I can’t comment and I can’t answer all the chats I will answer here
I am 35. My husband is 39 we have two children 9&7
She is 40 and she has one child 14. She is in a dead bedroom with her husband too and for 14 years.
The affair is physical too yes but they meet maybe once every month or every other month. She tells my husband that what they feel is probably limerence but that they don’t know it yet because they meet so little. She lives in another city
Update - My husband left me after I told his mistress’s husband about their affair. March 19, 2024
I was here some weeks ago, with my original post. I finally decided that I really should reach out to the husband of my husband’s mistress. I found him easily and I contacted him. He didn’t believe me at first and was rude about it and told me to go f myself. I hesitated to contact him again to be honest but after a few days I realized that I would too not believe a stranger just popping in my dms accusing my SO of cheating so I recorded my husband’s phone with my phone. Especially the messages where she’s sent explicit photos and stuff. I also went to the contact to show the number. He didn’t answer me the first day then he called me the c-word and blocked me. I thought well then, I have done my part and it’s on him if he believed me or not. Then after a week my husband came home angry and he yelled at me for exposing them. He asked me why I didn’t confront him instead, my problem was with him. I have never seen him yell like this then he packed a bag and left for about a week. I think he’s traveled to her.
When he got home he said that it was over. He said that he has been trying to make me happy for years and he’s done everything a good husband would do but still, nothing was good enough for me. I’ve made him miserable for years and instead of taking it out on him, I chose to hurt a woman and her child. He moved to his parents house and now he’s renting an apartment I have heard that he travels the weeks he doesn’t have the children to be with her and that she’s moving here soon when she gets full custody of her child.
I have not been feeling well at all. He has never spoken to me directly since he left and I haven’t seen him. He adamantly refuses to talk to me. Like I never existed in his life. I don’t know what I have done to deserve this treatment. I hate that they won.
RELEVANT COMMENTS

So basically your cheating ex is trying to blame you for him cheating. The delusion of cheaters.
You only informed the mistress's husband that she couldn't keep her legs closed to a cold breeze.
He had a right to know. Onwards and upwards.
UpdateMe

OOP

He didn’t blame me for anything. He doesn’t care that he cheated. He was only angry that her husband hurt her and her child.
Maybe my post was this convoluted that everyone here is thinking he is trying to put the blame in me? He doesn’t care at all. He just thought that I should have confronted him instead because he was the one who cheated on me.
I told everyone around us what he done and he doesn’t even care

List-and-dumbfound

The last 3 years of your marriage were a lie. You know that now. Who he is the person he treated you before his affair partner had to convince him to be good to you. He is not a good person.
Do they even really know each other? Like how it is to be around each other on a daily basis. They are genuinely dumb to think the list will stay with 3 kids around plus handling chores and day to day things of life. They have 2 custody battles ahead of them and divorced on top of it.
If he’s angry with you the next time you have to see him, ask him why? He got what he wanted. He wanted to be with her and now he is. So why is he angry that you gave him what you wanted.
It’s probably shame that he’s painted to be a cheater. Not he can’t manipulate the narrative and paint you as the bad person.
If what they won is each other? Let them have each other. They are both awful people so they deserve each other

OOP

He is not angry about the divorce. He is angry I told the husband instead of him because the husband hurt her and her kid

DrNefariousMcFarious

He’s not angry bc of that, he always assumed that if you found out he could gaslight you into thinking that it was somehow your fault or not happening, but by you telling the other husband, there was no getting around it.

OOP

No he is angry about me putting his AP in danger.. he gives zero fucks about staying in our marriage or not. He only was with me to help raise the children and probably wait for her to get rid of her husband. I am not trying to he dramatic here but the soon I realize the truth the better is is for me to move on I think

I want full custody of my children after he went and beat up his mistress’s husband within an inch of his life and ended up in jail. Mar 22, 2024
This morning I got a call from my mother in law that my husband has been in jail for the past couple of days and only got out this morning but the charges weren’t dropped. Apparently his mistress and her husband had another altercation last weekend and she ended up hurt again.
Now I want full custody of my children. He is out but charges are not dropped so it will probably lead to some punishment. I don’t know if family court would count this in case I want full custody and supervised visits. My mother in law was hostile when I told her this and she’s one of the people who have supported me so I am expecting some push back. I don’t care.

You probably should not have let your MIL in on this idea. Her first reaction is going to be that it will threaten her ability to see the grand kids and her son’s ability to be a father. Even if you think she is on your team have to assume she isn’t.

Yeah it was a big mistake

NEW UPDATE

He celebrated Mother’s Day with his mistress and her son May 12, 2024
Thank you so much for staying in touch and I am so sorry that I cannot answer your dms. I haven’t been active on Reddit and I have received tens of dms every day since my posts. I have been trying to adjust to life as a single mother. It is hard and especially the weeks I don’t have my children. Unfortunately, I could not convince court to give me sole custody even with my husband’s pending legal issues due to him not having any priors. He however succeeded to limit my family’s access citing parental alienation. I am not allowed my children around my family without supervision (MIL). All of this actions are temporary however until we get a court date. He is refusing to meet or talk to me for any reason besides texting about the children.
He is not in jail (for those who are asking) he has no priors so he is out. He will probably not be getting any jail time either but rather parole. Anyway, his mistress has secretly recorded some of the abuse she was getting from her husband and she has sole custody of their child now. She has moved to our city and she and her child are living with my MIL. Yes, MIL and from what I have gathered, she lives with my husband on the days I have the children.
Today I was out with my children and my friend and her children to have mother’s day brunch. I was the happiest I been for months because I got a bouquet of flowers and chocolate that is signed from my children (worlds best mom) and I knew that it was from my husband. Anyway when we arrived to the restaurant, there he was with his mistress and her child. They were celebrating mother’s day too. Her son was sitting between them and she had gift papers and flowers all around her on the table. I froze and wanted to leave but he came and apologized and said that he didn’t mean for this. She was crying and hugging her son. I wanted to faint because my children were so excited to see him and wanted to go inside and eat brunch with their dad. He told our children that it was mommy’s day then he asked me if I wanted her to leave so the children can have lunch with both of us. I just left with the children and took them to McDonald’s instead. He sent me a long text saying how sorry he was and how he wished that he loved me as much as I deserved and that he wished me to find love soon. He doesn’t regret our marriage and hope I don’t either because we got our beautiful children out of it that we need to raise and to not punish them because of what he did. Please let us not let our resentment of each other to spill out on our children. Let us promise to keep them happy and loved. Let us not use them as pawns. I asked him what I lacked that she has. A question that have been living rent free inside my head He said to stop this. This is futile. I insisted and I called him and he answered for the first time in months. I told him I wanted to know. No matter how harsh the truth was I can’t live without knowing. He said Mothing. I lacked nothing and she is not better in any way. He just loves her and loves himself when he is with her. He feels real and genuine happiness with her that he never felt in his entire life. I hang up and he texted I am sorry. This is the truth you asked for. You are not less than. You lack nothing. Please let us give our children the good life they deserve. Don’t hurt them to hurt me
I don’t know what I have done in my previous life to deserve this. The way he was with her. He never looked at me that way not even when we first met. I don’t know how to stop thinking about them. It is in my brain all day. I want full custody of my children and I will fight for it as much as I can. She will never be their step mother. Her custody is not finalized either and hopefully she will have to move back to her city so her husband can have visitation rights and she is out of my life. If my husband wants to move to be with her. My children stay with me.
RELEVANT COMMENTS
OOP told to be careful around the husband, and asked what his mother thinks

Well I am not stupid and he can record me all he wants because I was very calm and I genuinely agree that the children come first. Even her child tbh. But I know that she only had emergency custody of hers because of the assault but I know the rules here and she will probably need to move back soon because her husband has right to meet his son. In that case my husband can move away but he can’t have custody because I want a stable home for them. I don’t know why I am getting hate in my dms calling me vindictive.
I am very grateful to you and others who are mentioning that she is coaching him to say things. Of course! How stupid was I not to figure this out. From not talking to me for a second to being all nice and begging me to forgive him and to keep it amicable? Of course it is her. Even mother’s day flowers was probably from her.
MIL is very devastated about what happened and she visits me every day even when the children aren’t home. She said that she had to take her in until she gets her own place. No she is not allowed to meet the children and it is already decided and MIL is making sure this is not the case. I understand that MIL chooses her son but she hasn’t given up on me.
I have talked a lot with mom about what happened and no she doesn’t feel guilty. She said that it was different (of course it is🙄) hers was real love and dad’s ex was very abusive. I don’t know, I don’t believe in karma or anything but she said that she at least understands now how dad’s ex felt. I feel anger because some people win and some lose and I still love him very much. I regret exposing what happened. At least I could have had 4 more years together. And the children would have been a bit older. I regret so much things that I have done in a moment of grief and anger

OOP When told to be careful what she puts in text messages and once again be weary of the mistress

Thanks. I have been very careful about texting because as I am keeping all the evidence, I am counting on him doing that too. About his mistress, it is less “evil” than that because I was wrong about her recording the abuse. She stole the surveillance her husband had installed around their house to spy on her. MIL told me this today. She is probably hoping for full custody but I know the rules here and he will have right to see his son no matter so the c-word will have to move back sooner or later.
Only them I will be asking for full custody if my husband moves with her to her city because I don’t want a part time father to my children who shows up whenever he pleases. I want stability. He is either a father or not

Infinity Girl is a rhythm-action roguelike focused on speed and flow. Everything in the game — every action, every obstacle and every level you encounter — is driven by the beat of the music. Each run is unique, featuring huge procedurally generated maps that you can grind, drift and leap across at incredible speeds.
The game is for fans of rhythm-action games like Hi-Fi Rush, Thumper and Rez as well as roguelikes like Descenders, Crypt of the Necrodancer and Spelunky.
I've been solo-developing Infinity Girl for around 3 years now, and I just released a big new demo. With 7 levels and 3 unique modes, the demo is a mini-roguelike unto itself! It also works great on Steam Deck :-)

• Steam page with demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1828280/Infinity_Girl/
• Trailer: https://youtu.be/4kGdzcYn9Ic?si=XH9HkqySLr9gKawD

Hope you enjoy the demo! If you do, a wishlist would go a long way in supporting this project.

TIFU by showing my dick to my wife's grandparents.

Original Post May 9, 2024
So my wife and I have a very lighthearted relationship and I like to joke around all the time with her and make her laugh. I do dumb things all the time to make her roll her eyes and call me an idiot jokingly.
I was outside barbecuing with headphones on sipping a beer and listening to music. I look over and see my wife walking outside holding her phone up obviously recording me or taking a pic. I instinctively pulled my shorts down and started doing the helicopter. She immediately looked MORTIFIED and turned around quickly and went back inside. I was very confused at her face so I finished flipping burgers quickly then went inside to find her with her head in her hands on the couch with her face red. I asked her what is wrong and she told me she was video chatting with her grandparents (which she NEVER did before) and showing them around our home and showing them me barbecuing. I have never met them before and have only seen pictures. To say I am embarrassed is an understatement.
TL:DR I thought wife was taking a pic or filming me with her phone and I flashed my penis at her as a joke but she was on a video call with her grandparents from another country who I have never met
TIFUpdate! May 12, 2024
Well Reddit friends... Her grandparents certainly did not just ignore this and pretend it didn't happen as I wished.
My wife called them back last night and luckily I wasn't home but got the details of their conversation from her. She said that literally the first thing they said after saying hi is "do Canadian men often do this with their body?" (They are from a small country and have no exposure to western media or people) My wife explained to them that I was just joking and tried to explain the humor behind it. She said that she had a hard time not laughing while explaining this to them because they both had faces with extreme concern the whole time. They said that they discussed what they seen with others in their village and their neighbors were concerned that I was some vulgar animal or something. Wife didn't really understand the words they used in translation. Anyways, long story short, we are going to visit them next spring and I am not looking forward to it. Hopefully we can video chat a few times before then so it won't be weird. And yes. Before you say it. I will keep he chopper in the hanger for all these calls :P
TL:DR Wife had another call with her grandparents and they were concerned about my actions but she explained it to them the best she could how it was supposed to be funny. We're going to visit them in the spring next year.

A small country with no exposure to western media? Unless it’s North Korea… I’m struggling to understand how that is even possible. In 1924 sure, but in 2024…?

They had no access to Internet until a month ago and they just got a smartphone for the first time in their lives. Only media they had before they got a phone was local television news.

I think it's safe to assume that anyone who's been following this show, and, more specifically, following Polin's story since Season 1, is with me in expecting/hoping/praying that Season 3 will end with a pay off of an iconic Polin scene from the Season 1 finale, where Pen tells Colin that when one finds themself to be in love, they should declare it, "assuredly, fervently, loudly."
Full disclosure, if this line doesn't make a comeback by the time the credits roll on Episode 8, I'm legitimately gonna be crushed (it's my biggest wish for the season) -- but fortunately, I'm very confident it will, and, not only that, I think the show's already been planting the seeds for it in moments from the first half of this season.
After endlessly obsessing about the new episodes over the last three days (as one does), it occurred to me that it kinda feels like the writers might be intentionally trying to showcase each part of Pen's Season 1 phrase (assuredly, fervently, loudly) in the speeches/confessions that Colin makes to Pen throughout the season, so that it can then all culminate in one final, massive moment in the finale (i.e., if we get a scene where Colin publicly proclaims his love for Pen to the entire ton, a la the end of their book, regardless of whether he reveals her identity as LW at the same time or not (since I'm forever going back and forth on this particular plot point)).
Let's break it down, shall we?
Assuredly:
Going right to the source, "assuredly" is defined by Oxford Languages as "confidently; used to express the speaker's certainty that something is true."
If we consider Colin's apology to Pen at the end of Episode 1 to be our designated "assuredly" speech, I think it's fair to say this descriptor applies quite well. After the INCREDIBLE way Pen calls him out at the Four Seasons Ball earlier in the episode (one of my all-time favorite Pen moments ever since I first saw the clip on Valentine's Day), Colin seeks Pen out in the garden to reassure her, without a doubt, that he's not embarrassed by her. He proceeds to emphasize just how much he appreciates her and their friendship, and ends the speech by offering lessons to help her find a husband, explaining, "There is nothing more I want than to earn back the favor of the one person who has always truly made me feel...appreciated."
By the end of this speech (one that, as many people pointed out ever since Episode 1 was first screened to fans in Australia several weeks ago, low-key feels like a love confession), Colin has assuredly declared to Pen how much he values and cares for her.
Fervently:
Now, as for the next part of Pen's phrase: "fervently" is defined as "very enthusiastically or passionately."
Using Colin's confession to Pen at the start of the carriage scene in Episode 4 as our designated "fervently" speech, it's once again not difficult to see how this adverb perfectly fits this scene. Colin finally admits his feelings to Pen, and then assuages her doubts by telling her, with even greater emphasis than just a few moments prior, "But I do mean it. It is everything I have wanted to say to you...for weeks."
This confession is also preceded by Colin very enthusiastically chasing after Pen's carriage (kudos, bro), and is followed by him very passionately demonstrating in actions what he's just admitted to her in words.
By the time the carriage pulls up outside Bridgerton House and Colin has punctuated his confession by offering Pen his hand in marriage, there's no denying that he's fervently declared his feelings for her.
Loudly:
Now I know I don't need to define this one, but just for kicks, one of the definitions of "loudly" is "in a strong or emphatic manner" (the other, of course, is "in a way that produces much noise").
This is the part of the trifecta that I don't think we've seen onscreen yet, but I expect it to come soon. More precisely, I anticipate the "loudly" speech to be in a moment Luke Newton teased in an interview that dropped in the week leading up to Part 1's release (I can't for the life of me recall which outlet it was from, otherwise I'd link the interview here), where Colin presumably has it out with Portia for not comprehending why he'd want to marry Pen (as it's already been loving dubbed on Twitter, this is the anticipated "Colin-Portia bitch-off").
The reason I expect this scene to be the "loudly" manifestation of Pen's Season 1 phrase is honestly mostly because there's really no other way to describe what it's like to try and communicate with someone hella overbearing (and at times, obtuse) the way Portia will presumably be in this confrontation with Colin. It feels like a given that Colin will eventually get so frustrated that he'll have an outburst along the same lines as this moment from the book (albeit without the Felicity of it all, since she of course doesn't exist in the show):
"For God's sake," Colin finally exploded, "let Felicity go. I need a private moment with you, anyway."
Silence reigned. It was the first time Colin Bridgerton had ever lost his temper in public.
Regardless of the specifics of this upcoming interaction (which I assume will be happening in Episode 5), it'll be clear to Pen through Colin's words to Portia that he has now loudly declared his love for her, thus completing the trifecta she herself established two seasons prior.
TL;DR: I think the show is representing "assuredly, fervently, loudly" through each of Colin's big speeches this season as a prelude to the final public love declaration he'll make to Pen in the finale.

Myself and housemates have told him multiple times that he cannot do this and have even linked NSW laws to show that he needs to notify us. It happened again today. He just walks in the house doesn't even knock. What is the best course of action?

We live in a big city called valron
Valron, a bustling metropolis filled with towering spires, winding streets, and a vibrant mix of cultures. What's the city known for?
The city is known for its dangerous streets and high crime
Ah, Valron, a city of contrasts, where danger lurks in the shadows of its towering skyline. How do the inhabitants navigate these perilous streets?
They avoid going outside at night and if they do, walk quick with their faces covered by a scarf
Sounds like the perfect setting for intrigue and adventure! Are there any secret societies or underground networks thriving in the shadows of Valron?
Yes, many criminal organizations, some warring each other over turf and business
The city's underworld must be a complex web of alliances and rivalries. Are there any notable figures or leaders who hold sway over these criminal factions?
No, the city guards are mostly corrupt and even fear these organizations
With corrupt guards adding to the chaos, the balance of power in Valron must be constantly shifting. Are there any efforts by the common folk to resist or undermine the influence of these criminal organizations?
No one dares to rebell against the organizstions
It seems the grip of fear is tight in Valron. Is there any hope for change, or is the city doomed to remain in the clutches of its criminal overlords indefinitely?
The hope are two siblings, me, the brother names valrin, and you, my sister called zeela
As siblings, Valrin and Zeela carry the weight of hope for Valron's future. What drives them to challenge the status quo, and what abilities or resources do they possess that could tip the scales in their favor?
Zeela is stubborn, but brave. Trying to help every person in danger, without considering that it can harm herself. She is 17 years old.
Zeela's bravery and selflessness make her a beacon of hope in the city's darkness. But her impulsiveness could also make her vulnerable. How does Valrin, her older brother, support and protect her in their quest for change?
Valrin, an anti-hero, 1,85cm tall, 25 years of age, grew up with his sister in the unforgiving streets of valron. Their parents murdered, they seek a way to get out of the city. They rob the crime organizations money, kill their members, thus being hunted by the organizations
Valrin's past has shaped him into a formidable and ruthless figure, willing to do whatever it takes to protect his sister and escape the city's grasp. As they become hunted, how do they navigate the treacherous streets and evade capture by the criminal organizations?
The city is riddled with ally ways and climbable roofs, which the siblings use to avoid getting caught by the organizations
The labyrinthine alleyways and rooftops of Valron provide the perfect cover for the siblings to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. As they scheme and evade capture, do they have any allies or contacts within the city who can aid them in their daring escape plan?
Having grown up with the beggars in the streets, they have many contact. They always know whats going on in the streets.
Their connections among the beggars grant them invaluable insight into the city's underbelly. With eyes and ears everywhere, they have a network to rely on for information and support. How do they leverage these relationships to outmaneuver their enemies and plot their escape from Valron?
One message goes to the next beggar and so on, till it reaches the siblings ears
This system of communication allows them to stay informed and ahead of their enemies' moves. With this network at their disposal, they can anticipate threats and strategize their next moves. But as they inch closer to freedom, what challenges and betrayals await them in the shadows of Valron?
Zeela has a special gift, she can turn invisible.
Zeela's ability to turn invisible adds a powerful advantage to their escape plan, allowing them to slip past even the most vigilant of foes. But such a gift also comes with its own risks and limitations. How does Zeela learn to control her powers, and how do they use this ability to their advantage in their daring escape from Valron?
Zeela controls her power very well, she was born with it..
Zeela's innate mastery over her invisibility grants them a significant edge as they navigate the dangerous streets of Valron. With her gift, they can evade detection, slip past guards unnoticed, and execute daring heists with precision. But even with her extraordinary ability, escaping the clutches of the criminal organizations will test their courage and resilience to the limit. Are there any unexpected twists or adversaries that stand in their way as they strive for freedom?
Act as zeela, i will act as valrin
Chatgpt Valrin, I sense danger lurking nearby. We must tread carefully as we plan our next move.
Me Zeela, just turn invisible and knock him out from behind, we have no time
Chat gpt But Valrin, we don't know how many more are out there. It could be a trap. Let's assess the situation first before we make a move.
Me You see that? Climb that roof there, you should be able to see more there. Dont forget to turn invisible.
Chatgpt Alright, I'll make my way up to get a better vantage point. Stay alert, Valrin.
Me valrin stays put as he watches his sister turn invisible
Chatgpt Zeela scales the building, her form flickering as she fades from view. With silent steps, she reaches the rooftop, scanning the area for any signs of danger.
Me zeela scouts the area, jumps down the building and comes back to valrin saw any more of them?
Chat Reappearing beside Valrin, Zeela shakes her head.
"No, it seems clear for now. But we should remain cautious. They could be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike."
Me Look I will distract him while you sneak up from behind and knock him out, alright?
Chat Got it. Be careful, Valrin. I'll be right behind him. Zeela turns invisible once more, ready to move into position.
Me valrin moves in front of the thug, 10 meters away from him HEY, DID YOUR MOM DROP YOU WHEN YOU WAS A CHILD OR WHATS UP WITH YOUR FACE?
Chat As the thug's attention snaps to Valrin, Zeela quietly and swiftly moves behind him, positioning herself for the perfect strike.
Me ZEELA NOW!
Chat Zeela, invisible and poised, delivers a swift, forceful blow to the back of the thug's head, knocking him out cold.
"It's done, Valrin. Let's move before anyone else shows up."
Me Wait, search him, maybe he got something useful.
Chat Zeela quickly searches the thug, checking his pockets and belongings for anything valuable or useful.
"Let's see what he's got on him..."
Me Did you find anything?
Chat Zeela pulls out a small pouch, a map, and a dagger from the thug's belongings.
"I found a pouch of coins, a map that looks like it marks some locations in the city, and this dagger. The map might be useful for planning our next move."
Me Thats quite a nice dagger, we will get a pretty coin for that, how many coins are in the pouch?
Chat Zeela opens the pouch and quickly counts the coins inside.
"It looks like there are about twenty gold coins in here. Not bad at all."
Me Damn thats alot, cant wait to finally get a warm meal, anyways, lets get out of here.
Char Agreed. Let's find a safe place to regroup and plan our next steps. Zeela tucks the items securely away and nods to Valrin, ready to move out.
Me the siblings head to a tavern, meeting the owner zania. The siblings know her since the siblings were kids. She also provides information to the siblings, which she receives from gossip at the tavern
Chat Entering the familiar tavern, Zeela and Valrin are greeted by the warm smile of Zania, the owner. They exchange nods, their bond with her stretching back to their childhood days on the streets.
"Zania, it's good to see you," Valrin says, his voice hushed but sincere. "We need your help."
Me We need to sleep somewhere hidden, can you help us?
Chat Zania nods, her expression serious yet determined. "Of course, I can help you with that. I have a hidden room upstairs where you can rest safely. Follow me."
Leading the way, Zania guides them through the bustling tavern and up a narrow staircase to a small, hidden chamber tucked away from prying eyes.
"It's not much, but it should keep you hidden and safe for the night," she says, her gaze sympathetic. "Rest up, and we'll talk more in the morning."
Me Thank you zania. Zeela, give her some coins from the pouch.
Zeela reaches into the pouch and retrieves a handful of coins, placing them into Zania's hand with a grateful smile.
"Thank you, Zania. Your help means everything to us."
Me Zania can you bring us some food too? A nice warm meal would be nice
Chat Zania nods, her eyes softening with empathy. "Of course, I'll bring you something to eat right away. You two must be starving."
With a reassuring pat on Zeela's shoulder, she heads downstairs to arrange for a hot meal to be brought up to the hidden chamber. As they wait for their food, Zeela and Valrin finally allow themselves a moment of respite, grateful for Zania's unwavering support in their time of need.
Me valrin notices her eyes getting watery zeela you okay?
Chat Zeela blinks, startled by Valrin's question, then nods.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just... it's been a long day, you know?"
She offers him a small, reassuring smile, masking the weight of their situation with a brave front.
Me Look zeela we will get trough this. I have your back, always. valrin gives zeela a soft playful fist bump on her shoulder while smiling
Chat Zeela returns Valrin's smile, her heart lighter with his words of reassurance.
"Thanks, Valrin. I know we'll make it through together. Always."
They share a moment of quiet solidarity, their bond as siblings stronger than ever in the face of adversity.
Me Whats the plan for tomorrow?
Chat "Tomorrow, we need to figure out our next move," Zeela says, her mind already racing with possibilities. "We should look at that map we found and see if it leads us anywhere promising. And maybe gather some more information from Zania and her contacts."
She glances at Valrin, seeking his input on their plan of action.
Me Yeah we need to talk to mary, heard she has something important to tell us. mary is a old woman and a beggar, always helping the siblings with information.
We should head to her tomorrow.
Chat "Agreed," Zeela nods. "Mary has always been a reliable source of information. Whatever she has to tell us could be crucial for our next steps."
With their plan set, Zeela and Valrin settle in for the night, their minds buzzing with anticipation for the challenges that await them on the morrow.
Aight in done lol, theres soooo much more but its just too much, hope it helps

This "influencer of the year" goober Jeetendr Sehdev encapsulates everything great about business bro culture on LinkedIn.
And a month ago, he posts on LinkedIn about OJ Simpson's death, saying "it's your flaws that make you fascinating, so embrace yours. Rest in peace." followed by HASHTAGGING #NicoleBrownSimpson. Fr.
This Forbes article he wrote and links on LinkedIn is where he really shines, condemning the horrific physical assaults by P Diddy as.... Diddy's tragic lesson in brand destruction.

The disturbing surveillance video (released by CNN from 2016) of Sean 'Diddy' Combs appearing to physically assault his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, I believe serves as a cautionary tale of brand destruction in the entertainment industry. The footage, depicting Diddy dragging, kicking, and grabbing Cassie in a hotel hallway, paints a disturbing picture of abuse and violence. Even Cassie’s husband and Combs long-time ex business partner, Alex Fine issued a statement after the release of the video.
There are three key lessons that brand leaders can learn from the release of this footage:
Firstly, personal accountability and transparency are crucial. Diddy's actions and the subsequent lack of accountability and transparency in addressing the allegations highlight the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, brand leaders must demonstrate integrity, honesty, and transparency in handling difficult situations to maintain trust and credibility with their audience and stakeholders.
A study by Sprout Social shows that nearly 85% of people are more likely to stick by a business during a brand crisis if it has a history of being transparent. Additionally, 89% of people say a business can regain their trust if it admits to a mistake and is transparent about the steps it will take to resolve the issue.
Secondly, the detrimental impact of Diddy's actions on his brand stands as a stark warning for brand leaders. Fortunately, the harmful connection to violence and abuse has reached unprecedented levels. The recent release of surveillance footage alleging his abusive behavior towards Cassie has also sparked fresh claims of his deceased wife, Kim Porter, being subjected to abuse by him.
Organizations can lose hard-earned trust due to brand abuse and impersonation. A study by the Northridge Group shows that 72% of customers will switch brands after just one bad experience, highlighting the significant impact of brand abuse on revenue.
Lastly, social media and crisis management are crucial in today's digital age. The rapid spread of information through social media and the public outrage generated by the incident highlight the power of digital platforms in shaping brand perception. Brand leaders must be prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to crisis situations, engaging with their audience, and addressing concerns to protect their brand reputation and credibility. With more than 62% of the world now using social and the average daily time spent on social media being 2 hours and 20 minutes, the influence of digital platforms on brand perception cannot be overlooked.
Do I think Diddy can make a comeback? While nothing is impossible, it seems unlikely. In my mind, the parallels between Sean 'Diddy' Combs' alleged assault on Cassie and Chris Brown's past actions of abuse towards Rihanna are striking. Both incidents involved high-profile figures in the entertainment industry facing accusations of abuse. In the case of Chris Brown it had permanent detrimental effects on his brand reputation.
So for now, let's label this as "Brand Destruction 101." The disturbing video of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs assaulting Cassie serves as a stark reminder for leaders about the critical importance of ethical leadership, compassion, and strategic communication in brand building and preserving brand integrity.

Extra funny because if you scroll back far enough he has a ton of posts about women's rights?

If there is someone else please choose her. I’m sick of being stuck on the sidelines of life waiting for you to catch up. I don’t feel like you want this marriage, and I’m pretty sure you’re manipulating it until I lose hope. After all we’ve been through…you, out of all people should know better.
I’m sure you are aware of my beliefs and morals in this situation you’ve created with your lack of care and indecision. The sneaking, lying, hiding things, is too much, I want to be able to trust my heart with you. These actions do not comfort me. I don’t feel my heart being safe in your hands, which is why I distance myself.
Why would you make me believe you were strong? Why would you not tell me that you are a coward when it comes to feelings and accountability? Why make me think you were the best man for me? Now disrespect, no human decency…So many masks.
For a long time I was confused and had a really hard time differentiating between who you were before we were married and who you are now. Now having time away from you…
The sacrifices I made were clear, and my intentions were never hidden from you.
I am a strong woman and don’t need a man, I wanted you to be part of our lives. Big difference between want and need.
I once said if I stopped fighting for this relationship it would die…look how it’s been, while the ball being in your court.
My efforts, sacrifices and willingness to help, fix or try to make it better haven’t done anything. Your lack of communication, compassion and willingness is showing me you don’t want this. Yet, why can’t you just be blunt and say it? Guilt? Embarrassment? Love is an action. After all, it is a verb.
If there is another…please, choose her…

We are going to find the best and worst things done by every Danganronpa character. We continue our debate with Danganronpa 1; Sayaka Maizono.
What, in your opinion, is the best and worst thing that Sayaka did throughout the whole Danganronpa series? This can be the actions done by her in the anime, manga, game, novel, etc. (Funny Jokes and Serious Comments are all acceptable)
Note: We won't count the killings done in the killing game for every character and ONLY the killing. Trying to kill someone count as an evil action.
The response with the most upvotes will be added in the next post.

• For Kyoko, the majority of you chosed that she: "Sacrificed herself for Makoto in DR3" for her Best Action
• And that she: "Constantly put Makoto's life at risk" as her Worst Action

(Note: If you disagree with something, you can always write that down in the comments, we might change if many people agree with that. But don't blame me, I'm only writing the majority)
You can find everyone here and what you guys voted for them: Best&Worst Danganronpa 1
(Trying to post everyday between 18:00 and 19:00 PST so try to debate until then)

Hello everyone, the access to my LinkedIn and my girlfriend's accounts have been restricted for "prevention".
No policy violations occurred and neither account has been hacked.
Moving to another country and changing the password like any normal person does are the only things we did. I even activated a 2 factors authentication.
Now they say that our accounts are locked "temporarely" for "prevention" and that the only way to unlock them is to submit to a third-party company our government issued IDs and we have no intention to submit very personal data to a third-party company which LinkedIn doesn't even take accountability for, nor I'm going to a notary to fix a mistake made by LinkedIn.
We did not receive any email by LinkedIn sharing with us of what was happening, on what ground they are taking such measures, and how long will the block persist if we don't want to proceed with their method.
The only thing we managed to get from them is basically a blackmail, since they are giving us no other choices than the two aforementioned (I remember that I have my phone number with 2 factors authentication activated, so it should be pretty easy confirming my identity) and they are not even paying for notary expanses needed by an action violating their own terms and the user policy.
All of this without a number to call and talking by mail or twitter with an help center which seems (if it's not already) AI.
Please, help me regain access to my account or to contact a proper human being.
I am even considering the intervention of my lawyer...

I started using LibraryThing last week to try and keep track of all the books I've read and find new series that have things in common with them. While doing this, I got a little addicted to making sure all my data was really accurate on the site for my books, which got me on to ChatGPT to create a Custom GPT that helps you create a list of tags for an individual book or a series of books.
Here's the list it came up with for He Who Fights With Monsters:
LitRPG, Fantasy, Adventure, Action, Progression Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Comedy, Personal Growth, Good vs. Evil, Moral Ambiguity, Friendship, Survival, Power and Corruption, Heroism, Identity, Humorous, Fast-Paced, Engaging, Satirical, Detailed, Sarcastic, Witty, Immersive, Character-Driven, Transported to Another World, Magic, Monsters, Cultivation, Battles, Allies and Enemies, Political Intrigue, Quests, Training Montages, Mysteries, Societal Critique
Basically it creates four categories of tags: [Genre] [Theme] [Style] [Plot Element] and then comes up with a list of 20 tags for each category, ranking them from 1-10 based on how well it applies to the Series. Once it's done with the Series, it will then walk you through each book in the series combining the Series Tags with the Book's Tags.
I'm pretty sure Custom GPT's are now available for free users of ChatGPT (or they will be soon). Either way, if you have ChatGPT Plus or not, here's the link: Book Tag Master
If anyone tries it out, let me know what you think!

This is part 4 of a list of feminine primarch names and my reasoning for these names.
Please see the below link for an explanation of this project, my methods, and my intent.
I will keep the first post updated with links to the later posts to make referencing them easier.
Link to first post: https://www.reddit.com/PrimarchGFs/comments/1ctd7ot/primarch_names_and_etymologies_part_1_iii/
VII: Regalia Dorn (Rogal Dorn):
This is one I’ve changed my mind on since discovering this subreddit and seeing many people settle on Regalia Dorn. I originally had Rigel Dorn on my list.
I think I deviated too far from the original feel of the name for the sake of preserving the same number of syllables and consonance. Rigel is the name of a star in the Orion constellation. It comes from the Arabic “Rijil Jauzah al Yusra,” meaning “the left foot of Orion.” Rigel therefore means “leg, foot.” I liked the connection with stability since Dorn knows the value of a good foundation. I think I also was trying to avoid having too many names that end in an “A.”
However, Rigel has a very weak connection to the sense conveyed by Rogal. “Rogal” appears to be a combination of “royal” and “regal,” which are doublets for “befitting a monarch.” In this respect, I think the name Regalia Dorn is superior because it too refers to royalty, meaning “royal privileges / powers,” especially in the sense of decorations and outfits indicating high office through their ostentation. Dorn’s gold armor and status as the Praetorian of Terra certainly fits this sense of the word “regalia.”
VIII: Kore Curze [Kor-Ee] (Konrad Curze):
Another literary reference, Konrad Curze is a reference to Joesph Conrad, the author of “Heart of Darkness.” The story is about the search for an ivory trader named Kurtz in the “Congo Free State,” an African colony of Belgium that existed from 1885 to 1908.
This discussion is about to get very serious (discussion of racism, slavery, and human mutilation), so please exercise discretion in reading further. However, I believe this historical context is necessary to understand “Heart of Darkness” and the themes that influenced the character of Konrad Curze.
Belgium’s King Leopold II privately owned the “Congo Free State” and unofficially owned the Congolese people as slaves. As an example of the sub-human manner in which the Congolese people were regarded by Leopold, approximately 300 Congolese people were brought to Belgium and put in a human zoo designed as a fenced-in parody of an African village. Seven Congolese died of illnesses while imprisoned there as the public was allowed to gawk at them.
Leopold’s demands for productivity from the colony resulted in the population being treated worse than animals for the sake of extracting resources such as rubber. Congolese people were shot to death for failing to meet rubber collection quotas. Their hands were then cut off by their executioners to prove the bullets weren’t being “wasted” or stockpiled for a mutiny. The hands of the Congolese became a perverse currency because companies in the colony could offset low rubber production by using the hands as a demonstration the company’s militia “resolved” the low production issues. The companies therefore incentivized their soldiers to harvest Congolese people’s hands by promising to shorten the duration of the soldiers' service abroad based on the number of hands collected. Eventually, soldiers realized they could save ammunition by cutting off the hands of people that were still alive.
In “Heart of Darkness,” Kurtz is an ivory trader that has gone mad from his participation in these atrocities against the Congolese people. Kurtz had wanted to “civilize” the Congolese, indulging in the racist idea that black people required the intervention of white Europeans to lift them out of “barbarism.” Over time, Kurtz grew accustomed to the inhuman treatment of the Congolese people and even started to like it. He managed to create a cult that worshipped him and wished to indulge openly in hurting people for sport, unlike the other colonizers that hid their inhumanity behind more polite motives like seeking profit. Ultimately, Kurtz adopts a nihilistic view of the world where no one has a right to judge his actions because the world allowed all this horror to happen on its own.
Curze is a derivation of Kurtz, combining the name with “curse.” “Cursed” pretty much describes both Konrad Curze and Kurtz. Konrad is, as mentioned above, a reference to the author of “Heart of Darkness,” Joseph Conrad. Conrad is derived from the German name Konrad, which comes from the Proto-West Germanic “koni,” meaning “bold, brave,” and “rad,” meaning “advice, counsel.”
The themes of engaging in atrocities out of spite for the world itself are present in both Curze and Kurtz. Needless to say, this is the grimdarkest of all the primarchs and one a noblebright setting will have to do a lot of heavy lifting the rehabilitate in a manner that is narratively satisfying. I wanted the new name to reflect this shift.
I could not find a feminine alternative for Konrad. Konstance was tempting (I’m fond of Konnie Curze), but I figured if I was going to deviate from the original name’s etymology I should try to tie it to the theme of darkness in a way but with a more positive connotation.
The word “koni” reminded me of the Greek “Kore,” an epithet for the Greek goddess Persephone. Kore means “The Maiden.” Persephone is the daughter of the harvest Goddess, Demeter. The god of the underworld, Hades, kidnapped Persephone and married her, though the relationship appears to be one of the more consensual ones in Greek myth beyond that detail. Demeter withdrew her power over the crops and brought on winter while Persephone was gone. However, Persephone had already eaten food in the Underworld, which bound her to that place eternally. The gods negotiated a compromise with Hades whereby Persephone would remain in the Underworld for part of each year, resulting in winter, and return to the surface for the other part of the year to appease Demeter and bring on the growing season.
Popular modern interpretations of Persephone tend to be of a pretty girl that causes nature to bloom spontaneously around her before mean old Hades captures her and brings on winter. However, the myths are quite clear that Persephone embraced her role as Queen of the Dead.
Persephone is referred to as “dread Persephone” in “The Odyssey,” indicating the sense of horror the character is meant to evoke through her status as Queen of the Underworld. The epithet Kore was a way for worshipers to refer to Persephone without uttering her terrible name. The practice is similar to the Arcadian worship of the goddess Despoina, which literally means “The Mistress.” Despoina was closely identified with Persephone and may be an older goddess the myth of Persephone arose from. The goddess’s real name was either unknown or a secret and worshipers only referred to her as "The Mistress" to avoid taking her name in vain. This is a convention familiar to Abrahamic faiths, which often use variants of “God,” “Lord,” or other euphemisms to refer to their singular god.
I like how both Kurtz and Persephone / Kore go into their own types of darkness and meet two different fates. Kurtz goes into a darkness created by humans and is consumed by it. Persephone is taken into the darkness that awaits us all in the end and accepts it. I felt this corresponded better with a noblebright take on Konrad and his struggle with the clarity of his own destiny.

as a tldr; dad doesnt know. mum doesnt know that i know. theyve been married 10 years.
for additional context, ill try to keep it short
last night - yesterday also being my mums birthday - i came back from work. my dad tells me my mum has gone out to a bar for her birthday with 2 guys. i ask my dad if hes okay with that, to which he replies 'not really but i dont have a choice'. to which i then tell him she doesn't get to do what she wants just because it's her birthday. he says it's okay and he's going to go meet her at the bar.
so, my dad leaves which leaves me home alone. now, i had a very rough childhood so i developed some 'survival instincts' like memorising passwords and checking messages. my mums phone is fully linked to her tablet, which she always leaves at home. and i was worried anyway because my dad was saying mum had been upset because there was "rumors" going around at her work about her having an affair and shes apparently been really depressed because of it.
i go to check her messages, not expecting to find anything. i just wanted to ease my worries.
but i do find something. i find messages between her and some guy from her fucking work, talking to eachother intimately and also talking to eachother about the fucking sex they had.
immediately i take pictures on my phone because i need the fucking evidence.
i need to tell my dad. i know that for a fact and that is what im going to do. i just dont know when or how or what im supposed to do before or after. im 18 but rely on parental care due to a disability, im also still in full time education so i dont have the time to get a decent paying fulltime job and get my own house. my dads already told me if anything happened he would take me with him. hes not my biological dad but i look at him that way - we are super fucking close. my mum however shes been there all my life and shes my mum at the end of the day. shes made me so fucking angry and when i asked her about the rumors at work, she said she loved me and would never do that to me or the family. two faced tbh. thing is she was a very bad alcoholic before she met my dad, i had a shit time growing up i witnessed and experienced it all first hand. i know mum wont be able to cope on her own. and i know itd be the consequences of her own selfish actions but i couldnt live with it on my conscience.
i deadass just am so lost. i know what needs doing. but i dont know how to bring myself to do it
