Just built a pc, here are relevant specs

When I turn the pc on, everything seems to turn on, lights on motherboard, GPU fans, all the RGB blah blah. The monitor will cycle through various inputs until it just says No Signal. I was initially getting the VGA light and Boot light on and red on the motherboard, but after a bunch of iterations of reinstalling various parts those lights no longer turn on but still same issue.
What I have tried:

• Reinstalling GPU a bunch of times
  
• Reinstalled RAM a bunch of times
  
• Verified monitor can connect to another pc
  
• Tried various display ports on the gpu and also tried an hdmi port.
  
• Tried reseating the GPU power cables
  
• Prayer
  
• Various different orders of connecting the monitor to the pc and powering each on at different times
  
• Unplugging everything and hitting the power button a few times before trying again
  
• Sacrificed my finest lamb
  
• Reseated all the power cables
  
• Verified that I am plugging the monitor cables in all the way
  

So, plugging the monitor into the motherboard instead works fine and the bios screens show up and everything. So I'm pretty confident its to do with the GPU and not any other part. The CPU, RAM, and SSD all show up in the bios screens correctly.
What do I do?

When I try to play a private game with my friends in KF2, I'm able to invite them to a lobby and make the settings for the match, and even set a password. However, when I attempt to create the game, it says it's searching for an online game and it stays on that screen. Am I supposed to just wait patiently or is there another way to make a private game?

Throwaway account and I've never posted on this sub before so forgive me for any format issues. I'll be adding small details as well because I'm not sure if it's needed info or not.
So my mother (36f), her boyfriend (35m) and I (16f) were sitting together huddled as a group in our kitchen quite late at night. Important to note that they were drinking like any other night. We were just talking about how our day went when a conversation started about my uncle (mom's older brother) who my mother is NC with, the bf asked me if I still see him as my uncle after things went down between my mother and my uncle, I replied with "he might not be her brother anymore but he's still my uncle." He's the only father figure I've known all my life and we're still in contact something which both of them are already aware of. Out of seemingly nowhere the bf asked "why is your dad not your dad even though he was once your mother's husband?" To my understanding, he said this because my mum isn't in contact with either of them whereas I still consider my uncle as family and my dad is just a place holder. It broke my heart. I quickly turned away from the table we were sitting at to feed the cat with tears falling down my face at this point. He followed it up with "I mean by the logic you're using..." to which my mom quickly said "Can we not talk about this?" To which he replied "okay, I didn't say anything wrong anyways." I left the room shortly after without saying anything to them. While I was making my way to my room he called after me to come back and I simply said I would come back after a while as I had a project to complete to which he said "I don't need you later on." I ignored it and locked myself in my room and sobbed for a little while because it cut deep, my dad has always been a very sensitive subject and he knows it. I have never spoken about my dad to him or even my mother just because it always hurts to bring up and I'm not comfortable talking about him. Emphasis on I have never spoken about my dad to the bf in the two years I've known him/ lived with him for. When I finally did leave my room I heard them arguing, my mother was yelling about how bringing up my dad while we spoke about my uncle is irrational and not the same thing. They fought till 6 in the morning which included breaking stuff in their room. At some point during the fight he came to me and told me to get her to sleep in her room because she wasn't listening to him. And that's all, no apology no nothing. While I am upset I can't help feeling like maybe I shouldn't have left the room or cried in the kitchen? My mother hasn't said anything to me either and I feel guilty for causing a rift between them when everything was going great. So reddit, AITA?

My girlfriend and I were together for two years, part of it was long distance. We were previously good friends for 5 years, then she was the one that caught feelings and pursued me first. During our relationship she always told me things like “I’m the one”, we talked about how we would get married and grow old together, she made so many promises that she was 100% sure of me and that she’d never leave. She would say things like “we’ve known each other in every lifetime”. We got together even though I was leaving for a masters study, she said she thought she’d never do long distance again but for me it was worth it, bc she was 100% sure I’m the guy she wants. I left a week after we got together, and I was gone for about a year. During that time we visited once a month, it was always great. I eventually moved back and we spent another year together in person. I’m sorry if this post is too long.
She ended things about a month ago. During the breakup she gave me very vague answers so I couldn’t get the closure I needed. I decided to reach out a week after the breakup to ask why she did it, and what she said killed me inside.
She said that she knew we were compatible and I’m an amazing person but felt like she was settling for me, and she didn’t want to live her life like that when she thinks she can find something better. She said she believes in that soulmate connection with one person when you know deep inside you that this is “it”, and she didn’t feel like that with me, she didn’t think I was “it”. But we did say to each other during the relationship that this was “it”, she told me so many times that I’m the one, so I don’t know how a flip just switched in her brain. She also said she realized she didn’t love me in the way “real love” is, and maybe she just loved the idea of me. She said she always felt the need to be accepted and loved by people and I made her feel like that. She said when you truly love someone you’d sacrifice things for them, and she wouldn’t sacrifice things for me. She said she was forcing herself to be comfortable around me, and it wasn’t the type of comfort that it should be with “the one”.
How the fuck does it take you two years to realize you don’t love someone in the way “real love” is? Especially after all the emotional intimacy we shared. How could you be uncomfortable with me? I was her first kiss, her first hand hold, she said she was saving those things for the right person and she did them with me. Why would she feel like shes settling for me when she’s the one that pursued me first? She went all out to “get me” and be in a relationship with me. Am I really the type of guy that gets settled for? That hurts like hell. She said she was having all these thoughts during the last 4 months of the relationship. But literally a month ago, I felt that she’s been a bit cold, and I asked if everything was okay. She said “nothings wrong, I’ve been really stressed with school/work. But nothings wrong with us, maybe something’s just wrong with me with all the stress. But we’re good, that doesn’t mean I don’t love you or that I’d ever give up on us, I’d never do that. Don’t worry I still love you and I’ll always be here.” She said that word for word. So she was lying to me? Why would you lie instead of communicating openly? If she had told me she was having those thoughts it would’ve been easier for me, but she gave me that reassurance and then blindsided me a month later. I told her it’s normal to lose feelings in a relationship after a while, that eventually that initial spark or honeymoon phase ends, and that’s when the real relationship starts and you work on building a life together. Love eventually becomes a choice and not just a feeling. But she said she wouldn’t lose feelings with the right person. Now I’m the wrong person when she literally told me a million times that we were always meant for each other. I told her I think she’ll end up being disappointed when she realizes there is no “one” person that gives you that magical feeling for life, you eventually reach a point where you have to choose that person everyday. Relationships are hard and most of them end up losing that initial spark, but it’s an opportunity for a new kind of love to blossom, a love based off commitment and loyalty to each other. That’s the only way a relationship can last forever. And during our relationship we even acknowledged that fact together and we told each other that if the feelings fade we will always choose each other no matter what happens. It makes no sense to me. And if she actually lost feelings and fell out of love, that’s fine. But to say she never loved me in the way “real love” is, that makes no sense to me and it’s killing me inside. Have I just been blind and stupid the entire relationship? How does it take TWO YEARS to realize that? She said to me, “maybe you can choose someone and settle for them and learn to love them, but I believe there’s one person out there that is meant for me and when I find them I will know it deep inside me.” Yea, I believed that too. I believed it because I thought it was you. Just because I chose you doesn’t mean I’m settling for you or learning to love you. I thought you were meant for me. It’s so ridiculous I don’t understand, she used to be so sure that I was the one, she knew it deep inside her that I was. And now she’s saying that when she finds it, she’ll know. Well you knew it with me and now you don’t.
Part of me understands why she lost feelings, we didn’t really have a strong base. We were together for only a week before I left for a year. I feel like it wasn’t enough time for the physical attraction to build up and to get to know each other in person. By the time we visited each other, a lot of time had passed and the spark wasn’t the same as the beginning, it was kinda awkward at first. We got into a serious committed relationship talking about future marriage, before we ever hugged each other. She was scared to kiss me, maybe that’s why she said she was forcing herself to be comfortable. But eventually we kissed and it was great. During the visits it felt like everything was going great and that our relationship was getting stronger. I didn’t think that she was uncomfortable. I feel like if we had done all the intimate things in the beginning, we would have a base to build off of and the spark would be alive.
Also I keep blaming myself and wondering what I did wrong. I’m just certain that it’s my fault, that I made her lose attraction. Maybe I wasn’t manly enough or attractive enough. Maybe I was too boring or uninteresting or too “stable”. Being in love with someone basically means you have to be sexually attracted to them first, that’s what separates family love from romantic love. Maybe I didn’t do enough to keep her attracted to me, so she felt like she lost feelings. It was really hard with the distance. I tried, I really tried. I would always flirt and tease her, I tried not to let the relationship feel like it was a platonic friendship over time. I was always confident and “manly” with her, I stood my ground when she did things I didn’t like, I wasn’t needy. We sexted and video called all the time. I always planned amazing dates. I tried to keep the fun alive. I don’t know what else I could’ve done to keep her attracted. I truly feel like if we had been in person the whole time, it would’ve worked and she would’ve still been attracted to me. It’s just different when you’re there physically. But we both knew this, we acknowledged that it was gonna be hard and the feelings may fade, but we said we’d always choose each other no matter what. Maybe it was inevitable with the distance, but at the end she said it wasn’t because of the distance, she believes with the right person the distance wouldn’t matter. So I just wasn’t the right person for her, I was for a while, but I let her lose attraction for me. Your view on love and attraction may differ, but I learned that it’s the guy’s responsibility to keep a woman attracted, it’s about how he acts and behaves that keeps her attracted. So it’s my fault she lost attraction, it’s something I did. For example when I look back at the first visit, a mistake I made was asking to kiss her instead of just going for it. She said no, maybe because I came off as unconfident and that turned her off. I was so nervous during the first visit because there was so much expectation built up inside my head. Maybe that prevented me from being able to genuinely enjoy myself around her and attract her. Eventually though, we got comfortable with each other and we kissed and it was great. I felt the spark was there. I don’t think she met someone else, I asked her and she said no. Yea maybe she could’ve lied, but i know her and I don’t think she would do that. She said “you know me, I would never allow myself to do that while I’m in a relationship. The reasons are solely because I don’t feel in love with you anymore.”
We hit a little rut near the end because we were both very busy, but I didn’t think it was concerning because she always gave reassurance and made it seem like everything is fine. It feels like shit hearing that someone was settling for me. Why wasn’t I enough? I keep looking back and thinking what I could’ve done different to keep her attracted. I keep nitpicking at myself and feeling insecure about the way I am. She was so sure of me in the beginning so I must’ve done something along the way to make her lose feelings. She let me tear my walls down and trust her fully, then she left. It feels like I’m not worthy of love because she saw something in me and decided she didn’t want me. What hurts the most is that to me, she was “it”, to me she was the one. And she said that to me too and I believed her. I felt that she truly meant it when she said that. She would tell me she was always attracted to me and had feelings during our friendship but she “locked them in a box” because she was too afraid. She even told me that I was a walking green flag and that I was perfect and I did nothing wrong. It hurts to know she thinks that yet she still decided she didn’t want me. It kills to know that one day she’ll get married, he’ll get to hold her and kiss her and have a family, and it won’t be with me. I can’t stand the thought of her being intimate with someone else. And it’s the thought that, whoever she ends up with, will be better than me in a way. She will love him more than she loved me. He will make her feel what I couldn’t make her feel. And I’m blaming myself so much that I couldn’t make her feel like that anymore. I’m grieving the future that we both planned together. I feel so betrayed, I feel like shit. Most of all I just really miss her, we knew each other for 7 years and now we’re just strangers again.
I’ve been hurt before, I’ve had a few breakups, but this one hurts the most. I don’t know what it is about this girl that makes me feel like I’ll never find anyone better. I know that time heals everything but I feel like this has damaged me on a deep level, I feel like I can’t let my walls down again. I don’t want to love again and risk getting hurt. I can’t invest myself fully into someone if I’m always afraid they’re going to blindside me. I know a breakup shouldn’t define your self worth, but it’s just the idea that the person I loved doesn’t see herself spending her life with me anymore, that makes me feel really bad. It’s the thought that she saw something in me that made her decide she doesn’t love me. She analyzed our relationship and thought “I want someone better”. The thought that it’s my fault, that it’s something I did. I didn’t have enough “game”. I couldn’t keep her attraction high. I can’t stand the idea of her getting married one day and finding her “it”. Of course I want her to be happy but I’d be lying if I said that doesn’t kill me inside.
Nobody is perfect but she was close to it. She’s such a rare breed, she had everything I wanted in a woman and it’s so hard to come by. I wish I had a reason to hate her but she’s genuinely an amazing person. She did nothing bad to me, we barely fought and when we did it was very gentle. Our entire relationship was pretty much perfect up until the end. I’ve never been with someone that was this compatible with me. She’s the kindest human, she’s intelligent, she’s very mature, she’s beautiful inside and out, she’s very warm and gentle. And the fact that she’s such a sweet and genuine person makes it way harder. If she had cheated or something I think this would’ve been easier on me, because I’d see her as a bad person. But she’s not a bad person. It hurts way more knowing that she was feeling like she wanted to end things, but at the same time she was trying to convince herself to love me, because she didn’t want to hurt me. She didn’t want to break her promises, she was trying so hard not to, but in the end she couldn’t lie to herself anymore. Why do I have to feel like someone has to convince themselves to love me? Why does someone have to force themselves to believe I’m the one? Why can’t anyone ever just truly believe it with their entire soul, that they want to be with me. When I asked for reassurance and she told me she still loved me and would never give up, she was trying to convince herself because she didn’t want to hurt me. It was all lies. Every “I love you” in the last 4 months was a lie. I feel like such an idiot that I was sitting there for the past 4 months thinking that everything was going great. She was just faking her affection the whole time. Imagine hearing that someone was forcing themselves to love you. No one was forcing you! The exit door has always been open, no one forced her to stay, no one forced her to pursue me in the first place. I told her many times that I just want truth and transparency in our relationship, yet she hid all of those things. She said she hid them because she cared about me and didn’t want to hurt me, and she was trying to make it work. But if she truly cared for me, she would know that I deserve honesty, I deserve to know the truth even if it hurts. I don’t deserve to live in a lie. If she cared for me she would let me go find someone who truly loves me, instead of just pretending to love me. By lying, she was only caring about herself, to relieve herself of the guilt. The breakup would’ve been way smoother if she just told the truth from the start, but now I feel like an idiot who sat there for 4 months thinking that everything was going well, when in reality it wasn’t.
There’s so many things I loved about her. I loved the way she cries during every movie, she thinks she’s too sensitive but I think it’s beautiful to feel your emotions that deeply. I loved the way her face lights up when she smiles. I loved how she would call me just to tell me silly little things about her day. I loved her curiosity and wonder for the universe. I loved how she would run into my arms when she saw me. She just understood me, and I understood her. I can’t hate her, I wish I could, but I just love her with all my heart. I don’t think I’ll ever stop. Even when 20 years pass and I’m over this and we’re both married to other people, I will still love her and wish the best for her. I miss her so much, I miss talking to her. I know we can't be friends, but I really wish I could still have her in my life. But I shouldn't wish that I guess, because she decided she wants to live her life without me in it. I can’t believe she could decide to lose me forever when she always said she could never live without me.
The worst part is, I reacted to the break up very emotionally. I showed how hurt I was, I wrote a long paragraph, and I brought up all the promises she made. That was a mistake, it probably killed any ounce of attraction she had left. If there was any chance of her coming back or realizing it was a mistake, I destroyed that chance. I made it look like I can’t live without her. I didn’t beg for her back at all, but I kept pushing for answers and explanations. I asked her what I did wrong and stuff, and that made me look super desperate. I should’ve just accepted the break up immediately and cut off all communication. Maybe then she would’ve thought about it, she would wonder why I wasn’t upset and have second thoughts about her decision. It would make me look more attractive in her eyes. But no I ruined it forever. Now all I want to do is salvage some respect, to make her see me as a valuable person. Not as someone who can’t live without her. Deep down I really want her to have a change of heart, I want her to feel re-attracted somehow, after having some time and space away from the situation. But I ruined her image of me. Now I’m looking back and analyzing every little thing about our relationship and wondering what I should’ve done better. I realized I made a lot of mistakes, which at the time I didn’t think were mistakes, but now looking back it’s probably my fault she lost attraction. I didn’t do enough.
I told myself during the relationship that “everything is temporary, don’t get too attached, life can change at any moment”. I know those things because I’ve learned my lessons from the past, but this is still killing me. I know almost everyone has been heartbroken, I’m nothing special, every human has been through this before. I just need to hear that it wasn’t my fault or that I’ll find someone better eventually. I’m blaming myself a lot right now and I keep thinking that she wouldn’t have left if I had been attractive enough. I generally consider myself a confident person but this has set me back a lot, it’s ruining my self esteem. Maybe I have attachment issues that I need to work on. I know that time will heal this, but right now I can’t imagine myself finding someone that’s better. I feel like the idea of “the one” has been ruined for me. I want to believe it, but I don’t think I do anymore. Even if I find another person who I think is the one, there’s always the possibility that they will change their mind. There’s always a chance that all of their words and actions were just lies. A lot of people get into relationships because they love the idea of being in love, not because they are actually in love with the person.
Thank you for reading this far, I know it’s a long post. I needed somewhere to vent, I don’t have many people to talk to. When I cry, I cry alone. And during the act of crying I start to hate myself for being such a bitch. I know it’s perfectly okay to cry and feel your emotions but it’s hard to escape the conditioning that I’m used to. I have friends and family but, I can’t express my emotions the way I did in this post. People have their own lives and worries and they don’t want to deal with someone’s silly heartbreak I guess.
TL;DR - my gf and I broke up a month ago, she said she was settling for me and that I wasn’t the “one”, even though she made promises and assured me that she wouldn’t leave. I keep blaming myself and wondering what I did wrong.

Before I write the options I considered, I want to detail the reasons that convinced me that I need a refresher on the series.
First of all, aside from translating the games that didn't receive a localization in my language, it's been a few years since I last played them, and I always followed the release order... excluding PLvsPWAA which I never got out of my way to finish
Second, I've always been a bit biased in favor of Takumi written games. I guess I liked the atmosphere, cast and stories better. Not to disparage Yamazaki games necessarily, Investigations 2 is peak, but I still prefer TGAA2R and consider it on par with T&T; that said, the problem lies in what is now known as the Apollo Justice Trilogy: I'm not going to start a discourse on whether or not the title is earned or not (it is), what I'm trying to say is that AJ:AA suffered from needing to keep Phoenix relevant, DD went for a sequel that doesn't follow enough on the unresolved AJ:AA plotlines, feels like Danganronpa and ends up being boring, final and DLC case aside, and SoJ was good, but has some decisions that end up burying it below JfA for me. And while I have my opinions on these games, I'm seeing a resurgence of DD and SoJ fans, praising those two games especially as the golden standards, the peak of Ace Attorney, and it doesn't sit right with me. Call it petty, call it toxic, call it hating, it is what it is. But that's the second reason: I want to give all the games equal chances to impress me, freeing myself from any bias and preconceptions. Hints and tips on that are welcome
Third, and what sealed the deal, a few months ago I played the DLC cases of DD and SoJ with my now ex, since she hadn't, and while I confirmed that DD-DLC is a banger, I was pleasantly surprised by SoJ-DLC, which I used to consider boring nostalgia-pandering
After a long long preamble, I was considering the following play orders: - Original western release date for all the games - Mainline, then spin-offs - PWT, spin-off(s), AJT spin-off(s) - Chronological (TGAAC, PW, JfA, PLvsPWAA, T&T, AAI1&2, AJ, DD, SOJ)
Plus, a couple questions: - Should I hold off on DLC cases until after I finish the main games (so Rise from the Ashes, Reclaimed and Time Travel after the rest of the series) or play them with the game the cases are in (so Rfta after Goodbyes, Reclaimed after Monstrous and Time Travel after Revolution)? - what order should I play the spin offs, if not AAI1&2, PLvsPWAA and TGAAC?
Feel free to give me hints, tips and suggestions, to yell at me for not liking the AJ games as much as other ones or to do whatever

Based on what I have read, she certainly should have been charged under “Protection from Harassment Act 1997”. This is where the conversation should be, not whether Netflix is liable or whether or not she is innocent. Sorry, I did a cut and paste from the police.uk website, and it didn’t format well, but I shared it below. In a nutshell (no pun intended): Fixated, Obsessive, Unwanted, Repeated
What is stalking and harassment?
Stalking and harassment is when someone repeatedly behaves in a way that makes you feel scared, distressed or threatened.
There are different types of stalking and harassment and anyone can be a victim.
Stalking and harassment are offences under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Harassment
Someone you know could be harassing you, like a neighbour, or people from your local area or it could be a stranger.
Harassment may include:
bullying at school or in the workplace cyber stalking (using the internet to harass someone) antisocial behaviour sending abusive text messages sending unwanted gifts unwanted phone calls, letters, emails or visits It's harassment if the unwanted behaviour has happened more than once.
Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment is unlawful, as a form of discrimination, under the Equality Act 2010.
The Act says it’s sexual harassment if the unwanted behaviour:
violates your dignity creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment (this includes the digital environment, online)
Some examples of sexual harassment would include:
sexual comments, jokes or gestures staring or leering at your body using names like ’slut’ or ‘whore’ unwanted sexual communications, like emails, texts, DMs sharing sexual photos or videos groping and touching someone exposing themselves pressuring you to do sexual things or offering you something in exchange for sex
Some of these are also forms of sexual or indecent assault.
If you’ve experienced any of these it’s not your fault and you don’t have to put up with it.
You can report it to us.
If you don’t feel ready to contact us, you can report anonymously to Crimestoppers.
Stalking
Stalking is like harassment, but it's more aggressive. The stalker will have an obsession with the person they're targeting.
Someone you know could be stalking you; an ex partner or a person you were friends with, or it might be a stranger. If it's someone you know, or knew, it doesn't mean that it's your fault; it's still stalking and it's an offence.
Stalking may include:
regularly following someone repeatedly going uninvited to their home checking someone’s internet use, email or other electronic communication hanging around somewhere they know the person often visits interfering with their property watching or spying on someone identity theft (signing-up to services, buying things in someone's name) It's stalking if the unwanted behaviour has happened more than once.
The four warning signs of stalking
If the behaviour you're experiencing is:
Fixated Obsessive Unwanted Repeated
You can report the crime or you can contact the National Stalking Helpline for more advice.
Online stalking and harassment
Social networking sites, chat rooms, gaming sites and other forums are often used to stalk and harass someone, for example:
to get personal information to communicate (calls, texts, emails, social media, creating fake accounts) damaging the reputation spamming and sending viruses tricking other internet users into harassing or threatening identity theft threats to share private information, photographs, copies of messages

I’m in my early 40s, and I’ve been a RN for about 10 years. I was one of the older students in my nursing school class, and nursing school was probably the most difficult thing I’ve voluntarily undertaken in life. I got through with grit and the acceptance that “C’s get degrees.” Not easy for a life-long perfectionist.
I started out working in a specialty med/surg unit, and I struggled so much with time management, which ended up being the impetus for an ADHD diagnosis (which would have been helpful to know about during school). I then worked in ambulatory surgery as a staff nurse, charge nurse, and nurse manager.
I didn’t hate any of my jobs. But I definitely job hopped to the extent that my BFF lovingly describes me as, “my nurse friend who always has a different job.” Sometimes it was burnout, sometimes it was a promotion, and sometimes I feared for my license.
My most recent job change was from a manager role back to a staff nurse. I was prepared to take a pay cut, but a market rate adjustment worked in my favor and I ended up making more money in my new role. But even better, my new role is it. I’ve always been an adrenaline junkie-type nurse, and I took a risk by accepting this role as part triage/part educatopart clinician in a very chill clinic. I worried I’d be bored, but instead, I get to work with an amazingly cohesive interdisciplinary team. I actual get to know and spend time with and advocate for patients with complex needs. (I’m trying not to doxx myself, so let’s say it’s a clinic for people with sickle cell. It isn’t, but it’s chronic and debilitating.) I learn something every day, I get to do detective work, and the attendings ask my perspective and ideas. I also don’t go home to ruminate about the day and then crash on my bed.
My new gig isn’t perfect, and it isn’t my intention to brag, but I wanted to offer a perspective about how you can do things “the wrong way” and end up exactly where you didn’t know you needed to be. Hang in there, friends.

It seems apart from tyraels might, shako, and starless the other Ubers seem to be far from BIS. As much as I love the changes and the vast improvement this game has made it seems Ubers just well aren’t all that UBER anymore.
For example I after much farming found a doombringer from tormented Duriel. And I must say as a rapid fire rogue or any other rogue I can’t fathom giving up two tempering slots and greater affixes AND an aspect - all for the lacking affixes the doom bringer provides. Even the %dmg and damage reduction doombringer provides from its aspect still not anywhere near enough.
I masterworked it all the way to 8 even after trying to 10 still just feels like a big lack of dmg. I struggle at the boss on pit 89 where as when I switch back to my normal sword the boss on 89 seems like a breeze. (Unless it’s a shadow dmg boss in which case regardless of what I do I am screwed by the dumb one shot and ridiculous shadow dmg)
Don’t get me wrong I get it you can’t please everyone but after playing for the last few seasons and desperately trying to get the doombringer when I finally got it it’s such a lackluster item that it’s a proper kick to any kind of gratification. Oh well. For now it has been set aside to be bricked to maybe create tyraels might.
I hope blizzard that maybe in the middle of the season patch you could kindly buff these Ubers. Please.

I'm going to college for a medical degree and am headed towards a long term relationship. I've told myself, if my partner is okay with it, that I would want to adopt at least one "aged out of the system" child as a way to give someone who otherwise wouldn't a second chance at living a good life in a stable family situation.
I understand that such a situation is difficult as they might not see you as their "parent" in the same way, since they've likely been through difficult foster situations before and likely know their biological parents. Which I'm okay with.
Assuming my life pans out the way I'd want it to, I'd have the means to pay for counseling and anything else necessary.
However, I've been looking through this subreddit and I've seen people saying that the primary purpose of foster care is reuniting children with biological parents.
If adopting someone who's "aged out of the system" wouldn't be the right thing to do, I don't want to do it.
What are your thoughts on this?

First off, my apologies for this very long post...It's hard for me to word this out as my communication skills are very bad.
My therapist told me I need to work on the two above so I bought a workbook on each of them. So far I am working on the Assertiveness workbook. I am having a lot of analysis paralysis with trying to understand the concepts and was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to approach this.
According to my workbook this is the definition of Assertiveness: Not a strategy for getting your own way, but instead recognizes you're in charge of your own behaviour and decide what you'll want to do and not do and accepting the consequences and the responsibility for your actions (same for others). Similar to having a sense of agency. There is no attempt to take control from one another. When you are being assertive, you're making a deliberate and conscious choice.
Boundaries, I haven't dived deep into it, but fro what I am getting: it's something YOU do and not others (a.k.a. it's not about changing the other person) (i.e.) if you call me during work hours, I will not pick up. or if you call me names, I will walk away from the situation.
This sounds like it is heavily subjective and depended on person to person then. One of the examples in workbook, word by word: "Rather than say our coworker shouldn't be handing us her own work (controlling her behavior), we can simple inform her that we won't be doing it (controlling our own way)" ^so from what I understand, you can have boundaries and apply assertiveness but can still be seen as a jerk, rude, problematic? I.e. a kid saying no to their parent. Employer to boss, or person with higher authority. You just have to be ready to accept the consequences of your deliberate, conscious choice (possibility of getting arrested, fired, etc.)
So tying into applying stoicism + virtues. I am thinking the same thing, that it's all subjective at the end of the day? One of the ones I am thinking about is JUSTICE. Example: going through an unfair breakup and the other person is stone-walling you. So you want to take matters on your end and speak of the unfair treatment even if it means going to the other party's side (friends, family). Some people might think that it's unhinged or doing too much, but what if it helps give you that closure or aligns with your understanding/BELIEFS of what JUSTICE is? (very SUBJECTIVE)
Like this is quite extreme, but justice also implies that it relates to morality too, but there are factors like culture, religion and personal experience that shapes one's morals. For example one part of the world, maybe it's moral to execute someone who was a murderer or raped someone. So if I carried that belief while claiming to want to practice stoicism, is that right?
I am just confused on the whole black/white, right/wrong/, effective/non-effective. How do I see gray in all of this? It's causing a lot of confusion, sorry for my long message and if this might not make sense as I am trying to rewire a lot of old toxic behaviours from my upbringing. I am worried that I may be practicing stoicism wrong (still in the introduction phase), because I have had people close to me tell me sometimes I think I am being fair, but then I was actually controlling and demanding, which I seriously was unaware (due to cognitive distortion, being a late-bloomer, my toxic upbringing, etc.) So I am grateful for my friends for bringing awareness to my "unfair" judgements.

Just saw the sneak peek between her Wesley and her own lawyer and I was like bitch you did crimes and usually, well always, you face consequences. Like she was crying about it with Nolan the first time herself and I just don’t understand why do you think you deserve to just walk away like nothing happened. You are Monica’s accomplice and and cops experienced a deadly attack because of you. Wtf makes you think you deserve to move on.
If you were really “forced” into doing it there were so many ways you could’ve gotten out. You were giving therapy to many cops in a whole police station that’s all I need to say about that
It’s not like I can go rob the bank and then go cry and be like “no I need immunity I can’t go to prison plz bro plz🙏🙏😓”

I can’t wait to leave, I haven’t even been there a month and i quite literally despise it. 12 an hour isn’t horrible but not great for this economy either but I knew what i was signing up for. And the first week i worked every day and I could have enough to pay rent (remember this for later in the rant)

1. The hiring process took forever, i was offered job on the spot, had a great interview and then it took them 4 weeks to get back to me????
2. They said on my first day they would train me in jewelry, fitting room & register. I stayed on the register the entire shift 7.5 hours, and two weeks later that’s all I know how to do still.
3. I had open availability at the time of interview, during the long 4 week hiring process my father had a lung transplant ( 🙌🏻) I had to take care of him, and asked for weekends off, they cut me down to TWO DAYS a week, because I “lied about my availability”.
4. These credit cards, in my area there are a lot of different cultures, and many different languages that I hear around the store ( most don’t speak english at all) but they still expect me to push a credit card and ask at least 3 times if they say no. How can you invite someone for a card if they don’t speak english? Then it seems my coworkers SCAM the people who don’t speak english because the customer doesn’t realize that they are applying for a credit card… Its sad honestly, and I hate to work for a company who preys on people like this.
5. My manager pulls me to the side everyday to tell me what I am doing wrong, “I’m not asking the right way”, example, when someone has a purchase for a small bag of gummy worms, why would they want to apply for a credit card. HECK they don’t even want a BAG!!!

I used to work at a craft store who was strict on cards as well, but we were REQUIRED to let them know they were applying for a credit card.
Overall I hate it and can’t wait to leave, I can’t pay any rent with two days a week and it’s sad and hurts but oh well. I’ll keep shopping at TJX but don’t work here. RUN

Ex(28), I (26F)
My ex wanted to bring his son over to play with our daughter but I told him no, I have nothing against his son. The reason is that my daughter doesn't want to hang out with her brother. After all, she said he's too rough and I respected her decision.
My ex told me he isn't happy about the way our daughter treats her brother, last year for my daughter's birthday my family and I went to Brazil for her birthday and her brother asked if he could go but she told him no. My ex said he was upset because he had never been on a plane before and he wished he could go, i told him that wasn't my problem.
His son is rough and I don't want him to think being rough to a girl is okay, my ex always says boys will be boys to excuse his son's behavior. When his son would come over he would say inappropriate stuff and even cuss, I did have a talk with his dad about that too.
This was a problem even before because my ex-son was going around hitting girls and stabbed a teacher with a pencil, this is the 3rd time he switched schools. My ex doesn't want to step up and be a dad for him, I told him when his son gets older he will get worse. The reason why he acts up is because he doesn't get disciplined, his mom barely parents him and that's why he acts up. I don't want him around my daughter.
His son said he wanted to play with his sister but my daughter doesn't want to, when they were younger yeah they were closer but now my daughter is growing up and moving away. I know the boy wants to hang out with his sister but she doesn't want to so I can't force her, whenever my ex comes to see our daughter I tell him not to bring his son. It was bad because my ex didn't like what I said, he even tried to bribe my daughter to spend time with her brother.

I suppose the title says it all, but I'm hormonal and tired and sad so I'm gonna let it out here!
I'm the youngest of 4 girls. Two of my sisters have 3 children, the other has 1. For all their pregnancies, my mother was super involved. We've had a family group chat for a year and a half, and 2 babies came between Aug and Nov last year, so I even saw my mother checking in with those 2 of my sisters once a week at least "how are you feeling? how's the baby? how big is he now? any bump pictures?". She does not ask about mine at all!
She was happy for me when I told her, happy when I told her the gender, but she never cares to check in. I've posted pictures of my bump in our groupchat, she ignores them. I sent a video of a kick I caught the other day, she ignored that. Two of my sisters always send love my way when I send stuff though, so I just started asking if they wanna see bumpdates and videos, and send them these things in DMs.
I just feel so unwanted! I know she'll be on my ass the second he's born, but I just wish she'd care a bit about me rather than just meeting the new baby.
It's not like I didn't make an effort with her before being pregnant either. I made a point of seeing her once a month, picking up stuff for her if she needed help, tried to make friends with her new boyfriend (as my sisters can't stand him), walked her dogs whenever I went to see her. I was never her favourite because of my mental health issues and ADHD, so I was trying my best to be a better daughter.

Fellow Helldivers, heed my call! "Helldivers 2" isn’t just a game—it’s a mission, a duty, a testament to the strength and unity of Super Earth! As a seasoned veteran of countless planetary deployments, I can say with unwavering conviction that Arrowhead Game Studios has outdone themselves, creating an explosive, heart-pounding experience that surpasses the original in every way.
Gameplay and Mechanics: From the moment you drop into the fray, "Helldivers 2" demands your full attention and unyielding loyalty. Every mission is a test of skill, strategy, and sheer willpower, embodying the spirit of our great cause. Whether you're deploying an automated turret in the heat of battle or coordinating an orbital strike, the need for precise teamwork and communication is paramount. Each mission is a unique challenge, pushing you and your squad to adapt and overcome with the bravery and ingenuity that defines a Helldiver. With an arsenal packed with cutting-edge weaponry, versatile gadgets, and powerful vehicles, the tactical possibilities are endless.
Graphics and Design: The battlefield has never looked so vivid. The worlds we conquer are brought to life with stunning detail and vibrant colors, making every mission feel like a high-stakes expedition into the unknown for the glory of Super Earth. The enemies are more menacing, the landscapes more treacherous, and the visual effects more spectacular than ever. From the glow of alien biomes to the fiery aftermath of an airstrike, "Helldivers 2" immerses you in a visually captivating warzone, a fitting backdrop for our noble endeavors.
Sound and Music: Every explosion, every gunshot, every alien scream is a symphony of destruction, a rallying cry for our cause. The soundtrack swells with a heroic urgency, driving you forward in the heat of battle. The sound effects are meticulously crafted, making each reload, each explosion, and each desperate cry for help feel real and immediate. The voice acting adds an extra layer of authenticity, making you feel like part of a tightly-knit team fighting for the preservation of our way of life.
Multiplayer Experience: Brothers and sisters, this is where "Helldivers 2" truly excels. The camaraderie, the coordination, the sheer joy of victory—it’s all here.

The drive to perfect your tactics, upgrade your gear, and achieve mastery is relentless. Each successful mission fuels your determination to push further and fight harder for Super Earth.
Inclusion and Unity: However, amidst the triumphs and thrills, a shadow looms over our ranks. Sony's decision to delist "Helldivers 2" in several countries around the world is a blow to our unified front. This exclusion runs counter to the very spirit of our motto: "We dive together or not at all." We call upon Sony to reconsider this stance, ensuring that every Helldiver, no matter their location, can join the fight and stand with their brothers and sisters on the front lines. Our strength lies in our unity.

For the glory of Super Earth and the future of humanity, answer the call. Assemble your squad, prepare for deployment, and dive into the most exhilarating co-op game of the year. See you on the battlefield, Helldivers. Victory or death!

Do we just let kids speak disrespectfully these days? I can’t tell if this is the generational trauma my parents passed on to me, or if I just have a severe approach to raising kiddos…but what is happening?! I also live in one of the biggest HCOL cities in the U.S. so I can’t tell if parenting culture here is skewed compared to the rest of the country…but, woah.
Every day after I leave 4NK and 8NK can have TV time. Lately, MB has occasionally been letting 8NK use her computer to watch sports games since 4NK haaates to and it was causing issues. Today, 8NK asks (more like begs) to use the computer, and when MB says yes he says something along the lines of “great, go get it now, can’t waste a second”
Personally, I would’ve said, just kidding, you can watch tv with 4NK because you can’t remember to speak kindly to someone who is doing you a favor, but whatever.
MB goes and grabs the laptop, brings it to NK, and he said “WHERE ARE MY HEADPHONES? Go find my headphones.”
AND MB LAUGHS AND GOES TO FIND THEM.
I’m honestly so appalled at the way he speaks to her, and she’ll sometimes give gentle reminders when he has that tone but this boy is 8 and they usually just laugh or roll their eyes. In my opinion, it’s time for more.
And this is a daily occurrence, the specifics just change. When he’s with me, I find it really hard to be around him because EVERYONE is wrong, EVERYTHING is boring and unfair, and he just generally has a really negative attitude and tone! Will whip the football at his little brother and get annoyed when 4NK gets hurt, but is the first to cry when he gets “scratched” or something. Never says thank you, and is really into mimicking the tough-guy-superstar pro athlete he watches all the time. I can’t believe I have (internal) beef with an 8 year old.
It’s not just MB though. At school pick up, I notice that other parents will just let their kids say some whack stuff to them. I feel like I’m usually pretty fair and even keeled…am I overreacting to this stuff or is this just how it is now?

I have a fresh build with this motherboard but the wifi antenna that came in the box will not show up! I have enabled wifi and Bluetooth in the bios, although (Bluetooth shows up on the control panel unlike wifi) I have troubleshooting guides told me to plug in Ethernet and install drivers that way, which for some insane reason say they don't support my operating system which is windows 11 64 bit. I am at a loss I write this sitting on the ground hooked up to my router. Any help is greatly appreciated. I called support someone apparently picked up but didn't talk for 5 minutes

And finally, the mark of the beast can indeed be removed, for it is not a seal, but a mere “mark”, which symbolizes a sin. Which is the possession of paper money and fiat currency. Which is an offense to God. And by removing this offense then you remove the mark of the beast and lift the curse from upon your own head. Which can be done in either of two ways. By burning every last remnant of paper money and fiat currency, like the sons of Israel did when they smashed their idols and the believers in the book of Acts burned their books of witchcraft. Or by simply exchanging it for things you need. Like food, clothing, goods, laptop, cell phone, tools, solar panels, water reserves, pre pay for rent, pre pay for utilities, pre pay for internet, pre pay for cell phone service, purchase a house, purchase gold, or purchase silver. Anything you need. For it is not the will of God that we be left with nothing and naked and out on the street. For even the people of Israel took gold and silver and clothes with them when they left Egypt to wander the desert. Which is the time we are in figuratively. In the desert approaching the time we will receive our inheritance. And just like the Torah permitted the sons of Israel to sell unclean animals to foreigners that they themselves were forbidden to eat, so in likewise manner we can give unbelievers and torahless people their own paper money and fiat currency that they already have in exchange for the things we need so that we can set ourselves apart in obedience. Which also relates to, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”. In a cunning way, but as gentle as doves. And ultimately the prophecy of Revelation does say “pay her back as she has paid”, which includes returning back her own worthless paper money and fiat currency. And if you are able to work for food or gold or silver, then excellent, otherwise you are not permitted to receive any paper money and fiat currency directly or indirectly going forward. And if you have much, remember to share with others and especially with fellow believers in the Mashiach that are also leaving the financial system. For this is indeed also an opportunity for us as believers to show our love one for the other by helping each other. And if you have little, seek help from other like minded believers or reach out to me. And if you purchase gold and silver in the USA I recommend you purchase from Apmex. And if you purchase gold from them I recommend you purchase it by the gram, either 1 gram Valcambi, or 20 gram Valcambi Combibar, or 50 gram Valcambi Combibar, or 100 gram Valcambi Combibar. And if you purchase silver from them, I recommend you purchase it by the troy ounce, which can be 1 oz Perth Mint Silver Bar or 1 oz Geiger Edelmetalle Silver Bar. And if you are in Colombia, I recommend you purchase from Firenze by the gram. And you can visit their website by clicking here to contact them.

I just want to vent because I have no where else to say this stuff. Just want to put it in the void so I can process it I guess.
I'll spare you guys the gorey details of how the old relationship was, but as you can imagine, it was not great. I handled things wrong, he did objectively terrible things, same old story.
I dated him for a year and a half, I broke up with him for a terrible thing 2.5 years ago, he went NC for a month, I went off the rails and begged for contact, we started talking a bit again, it predictably went bad, I learned something wholly unforgivable about him, then I fully committed to NC on my end. Haven't heard or seen anything in 2 years. I'm happy with that. I don't even like him as a person. I don't even wish him well after what I learned he did to other women. I understand the issues with my last relationship clearly and concisely. I even got "closure".
6 months after going NC, I met someone, took it slow, fell in love. We've been dating for a year and a half now and have a wedding planned for early next year. There's no comparison. I have no regrets, everything is genuinely good. Fantastic, even.
And I guess it's just a trauma response but, STILL, at LEAST several times a week, I am bombarded with thoughts about my ex. Just like "remember when this happened, that was bad." When I'm with my fiancé, when I'm at the gym, when I'm in bed, all the time.
I do constantly feel like I wish he would find out how to reach out to me just so I could ignore it. Or say "never contact me again." Or rub it in his face how good things turned out for me. It's just a fantasy, I don't think I actually want that to happen. I actively don't want to contact him myself to rub it in his face, and I don't think I will, but what if I accidentally do it anyways? These are the kinds of thoughts I regularly have. I don't want him to reach out, but I do. I don't want anything to do with him, but I want confirmation that he KNOWS that I don't want anything to do with him. I know that's just petty and not beneficial to anyone.
I've done the therapy, I've moved on in massive ways, I'm doing things right now.
It's annoying and disheartening and I'm not looking forward to having to randomly remember this guy for the rest of my life. It's not worth my time at all and I can't make it stop. I thought that by now it'd stop haunting me.
