How many ng in a ml

I won't say that I am writing a proper review or something. Just sharing my personal experience with my Xiaomi 12T. Excuse my English, it's not my first language. Btw I am from SEA, the weather here is either hot most of the time or just a little bit cold because of heavy rain during rainy season. Some of the most popular games here I would say are ML/Mobile Legends (still playing on my 12T) and PUBGM/PUBG Mobile (stop playing on my 12T cause I play on my iPad).
First of all, why do I bought my current Xiaomi 12T? Because my phone before, Poco X3 Pro, just died while I am PUBG Mobile. When I search through the internet, I figured it out that there're many Poco X3 Pro out there with the same problem as mine. So, I brought it to the closest service center and it is the motherboard burn or something. And, the cost for replacing the motherboard is like >90% of the price I paid for when I bought my Poco X3 Pro. The customer service's staff advice me not to repair it, so I do. At this point, I just use my Poco X3 Pro for almost one year and a half (1.5 year) which is unacceptable because my phone before that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 being my main for 3.5 years at least. Even though, my Redmi Note 5 is just sitting on my desk, it is still alive until today which make it almost 6 years. I just open and charge it once in while. And for it entire lifespan, I just change it's battery and charging port, that's all.
So, even though part of me being "I won't buy Xiaomi any more" because of my not so good experience with my Poco X3 Pro. There's still part of me feel like giving Xiaomi a second chance with 2 reasons.

1. I have a very good experience with my Redmi Note 5. Even though I tortured it as much as my Poco X3 Pro and try to bent it through the back like JerryRigEverything, it still survive.
   
2. Maybe I just being unlucky and got into problem this time around with my Poco X3 Pro. Like, that's why warranty exist because it's not like 100% product manufactured is completely perfect. Unfortunately, mine is out of warranty. And maybe this is why an ex-flagship chip Snapdragon 860 can be put inside such a budget device.
   

So, while waiting for my Xiaomi 12T, I back to using my Redmi Note 5. Even though it was lagging and "old smartphone problem" everything, it still get the basic job done. Then, my Xiaomi 12T arrived. I can't really remember my whole experience from the beginning to right now with 12T as I don't write on note or something, I will just write this base on my memories.
First few weeks/month, honeymoon phase some will say. Few things that I notice compared to my Poco X3 Pro is that the 120Hz is much smoother and the AMOLED is beautiful. 108mp is an upgrade compared to 48mp on Poco X3 Pro, I keep zooming and testing on the camera and the snap/shutter is much more responsive. 120w is really fast and hot. Under display optical fingerprint scanner is much more convenient than side mounted fingerprint, not sure if it is faster. I can play ML at high graphic and Ultra/120fps frame rate, 90fps smooth on PUBGM. I really enjoy my Xiaomi 12T. So, I will say these is few things that I realized as a significant upgrade compared to Poco X3 Pro.
So here are a few problems or things that I personally don't like with my Xiaomi 12T. 1. PUBGM even though 90fps is enable, it was not that enjoyable. Meshes/Texture was not completely rendered. I am not sure if this is the correct word. Like, I can see the building and structure but the surface of those building and structure take few seconds or never rendered.

1. I rarely use the ultrawide unless I really need it. Never touch the macro lens, I rather use the main camera and zoom/crop in. Main camera is good with enough light and not-that-good on lowlight situation. The other thing I don't really like is the colour processing on the default camera app as I don't see such problem with third party app. Which is the black colour or dark area being processed quite weird, it look unnatural in my eyes.
   
2. Sometime, quite rarely, it didn't detect when I try to charge it. I am sure it was charging but somehow the charging notification or something didn't appear. I can solved it by unplug and re plug again. If that doesn't work, I will try to reboot the device. Then, it detect the charging.
   
3. "Power button ghosting" I would say. It rarely happened but the first time it happened it was really frustrating as I can't use my phone as it continue to power off and power on itself for half a day. The next time this almost-same problem happened again, it is not that problematic and frustrating as the first time but still a problem.
   
4. ML unstable performance. Sometimes, if it's alright, I can do high graphics 120fps. When it was not alright, no matter what I do even though put the graphic on low, it still lagging/low frame rate. When war, it can drop under 15 fps when not alright. I don't use app or tool to measure, but my eyes know that is definitely under 15 fps. So, I tried to delete some games and heavy stuff and maintain my storage around 200GB/256GB, it was alright for a while. Then, it come back again. I tried to delete some stuff more, it seem to not disappeared. Maybe I should delete more stuffs, but what the points of me buying 256GB if I can't use it all.
   

All in all, I have a good time with my Xiaomi 12T if the above problem does not occur. Maybe because I become much more tech-nit-picky as my knowledge about smartphone and technology increased and I know how a good phone should act. It's a midrange device after all, I know I can't expect it to perform like a flagship.

I think I’m losing attraction for my husband. We’ve been married for 2 years at feeling ko nababawasan na yung attraction ko sa kanya and natatakot ako na magtuloy tuloy.
Here are my reasons: 1. I’m concerned about his heath. He’s overweight and we are trying to conceive that is why this one is a big deal for me. Ilang beses nadin kaming nagusap how he can improve pero parang wala syang enough effort to be fit and we all know na dapat sa kanya manggaling yung determination to do something about it or else hindi ko sya mattulungan. Yes, inopen ko na sa kanya many times and he keeps promising na he’ll do something abt it. He tries pero minimal effort. I’m also helping him by inviting him mag jog/ exercise pero talagang ako ang nag iinitiate. I’m also sending him vids to inspire him and bumibili ako ng healthy food for us. So frustrating kasi alam kong kaya nya kasi nagawa naman nya maging fit before. So anong problema? Yes, we are on the same page of wanting to have a baby. Both praying for it 🙏🏻

1. He does not seem to care much about his hygiene anymore. Nung magjowa palang kami hindi naman ganto or dahil hindi lang kami magkasama sa isang bahay kaya hindi ko napapansin or pwede din na sobrang comfortable na nya sa akin. Parang he doesn’t care about how he looks for me and I think that is still important even when ur already married??? Parang it’s turning me off. Na-open ko nadin sya pero parang same effort lang.
   
2. Dati okay lang sa akin na magkaiba kami ng trip. Mas magala ako sa kanya and he’s a home buddy. Hindi nya ako nrrestrict to go out with friends or have a date with myself pero minsan nallungkot ako kasi dapat sya yung kasama ko mag enjoy. Pag sa dates, “ikaw bahala” “kahit anong gusto mo” ang input nya. Minsan nakakasawa na ako nalang palagi ang nagddecide.
   
3. (This one is really not a main issue pero a contributing factor). I’m more financially stable than him. Kaya din siguro wala syang gana pag ang topic namin is travel or places we wanna go. Mejo nanibago lang din ako dahil nung single ako, I traveled a lot and talagang naeenjoy ko having new experiences. I want to experience this with him especially now na wala pa kaming anak pero ramdam ko yung restriction nya and nakakawala din ng gana.
   

He has so manyyyy good qualities din. He’s so hands on sa household chores, he manages my mood swings so well, he’s emotionally available, he’s persistent in making me happy, would never cheat, treats me like a queen etc. Basically he’s a good guy and I don’t like the possibility of falling out of love because of the ugly things. I know na I should’ve realized this before marriage but here we are. Siguro the good things overshaddowed the ugly parts and I thought I’d be willing to compromise and accept. But ngayon narrealize ko na these things are important.
So I’d like your insights please. Especially sa married women out there, what should be my approach? Any similar experiences? How did you compromise or accept the ugly parts of ur marriage? I don’t want to sound like a nagger kung paulit ulit kong sinasabi mga concerns ko. We already had mature conversations and fights abt this pero eto padin kami with our unresolved issues.

GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING SUPERSTONKERS! HAHA. It's me again. Yeah, i slipped past the defenses again to drop this off so you can all refresh yourselves on the state of FUD and disinformation in this protracted fight against the legal larcenists doing their best to try and get you to sell. Please spread this amongst the holders, the more people know the less power they have over us holders. We don't sell until we get a call from marge, and that's always been the play.
TLDR: This is a set of tactics used by the Alphabet Boys(CIA, FBI, DEA) to control and manipulate us into drama to collapse our communities and movements. And should be read in full by anyone willing and wanting to learn how these things work.
I've come to notice recently, people keep asking me to repost this for the sake of keeping the new people abreast on what needs to be done to protect the holders of GME. Beneath here will be a detailed account on what you need to be aware of in your online interactions, to avoid being taken for a fool!

_______________________________________________________________________
COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum..
There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a 'uncontrolled forum.'
Technique #1 - 'FORUM SLIDING'
If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by 'forum sliding.' In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to 'age.' Each of these misdirectional forum postings can then be called upon at will to trigger a 'forum slide.' The second requirement is that several fake accounts exist, which can be called upon, to ensure that this technique is not exposed to the public. To trigger a 'forum slide' and 'flush' the critical post out of public view it is simply a matter of logging into each account both real and fake and then 'replying' to prepositioned postings with a simple 1 or 2 line comment. This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list, and the critical posting 'slides' down the front page, and quickly out of public view. Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and unuseful postings. By this means it becomes effective to keep the readers of the forum reading unrelated and non-issue items.
Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING'
A second highly effective technique (which you can see in operation all the time at www.abovetopsecret.com
) is 'consensus cracking.' To develop a consensus crack, the following technique is used. Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favor is slowly introduced over the life of the posting. It is IMPERATIVE that both sides are initially presented, so the uninformed reader cannot determine which side is the truth. As postings and replies are made the stronger 'evidence' or disinformation in your favor is slowly 'seeded in.' Thus the uninformed reader will most like develop the same position as you, and if their position is against you their opposition to your posting will be most likely dropped. However in some cases where the forum members are highly educated and can counter your disinformation with real facts and linked postings, you can then 'abort' the consensus cracking by initiating a 'forum slide.'
Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'
Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a 'RESOURCE BURN.' By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a 'gossip mode.' In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in. It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the psychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to 'drive in the wedge.' By being too far off topic too quickly it may trigger censorship by a forum moderator.
Technique #4 - 'INFORMATION COLLECTION'
Information collection is also a very effective method to determine the psychological level of the forum members, and to gather intelligence that can be used against them. In this technique in a light and positive environment a 'show you mine so me yours' posting is initiated. From the number of replies and the answers that are provided much statistical information can be gathered. An example is to post your 'favorite weapon' and then encourage other members of the forum to showcase what they have. In this matter it can be determined by reverse proration what percentage of the forum community owns a firearm, and or a illegal weapon. This same method can be used by posing as one of the form members and posting your favorite 'technique of operation.' From the replies various methods that the group utilizes can be studied and effective methods developed to stop them from their activities.
Technique #5 - 'ANGER TROLLING'
Statistically, there is always a percentage of the forum posters who are more inclined to violence. In order to determine who these individuals are, it is a requirement to present a image to the forum to deliberately incite a strong psychological reaction. From this the most violent in the group can be effectively singled out for reverse IP location and possibly local enforcement tracking. To accomplish this only requires posting a link to a video depicting a local police officer massively abusing his power against a very innocent individual. Statistically of the million or so police officers in America there is always one or two being caught abusing there powers and the taping of the activity can be then used for intelligence gathering purposes - without the requirement to 'stage' a fake abuse video. This method is extremely effective, and the more so the more abusive the video can be made to look. Sometimes it is useful to 'lead' the forum by replying to your own posting with your own statement of violent intent, and that you 'do not care what the authorities think!!' inflammation. By doing this and showing no fear it may be more effective in getting the more silent and self-disciplined violent intent members of the forum to slip and post their real intentions. This can be used later in a court of law during prosecution.
Technique #6 - 'GAINING FULL CONTROL'
It is important to also be harvesting and continually maneuvering for a forum moderator position. Once this position is obtained, the forum can then be effectively and quietly controlled by deleting unfavourable postings - and one can eventually steer the forum into complete failure and lack of interest by the general public. This is the 'ultimate victory' as the forum is no longer participated with by the general public and no longer useful in maintaining their freedoms. Depending on the level of control you can obtain, you can deliberately steer a forum into defeat by censoring postings, deleting memberships, flooding, and or accidentally taking the forum offline. By this method the forum can be quickly killed. However it is not always in the interest to kill a forum as it can be converted into a 'honey pot' gathering center to collect and misdirect newcomers and from this point be completely used for your control for your agenda purposes.
CONCLUSION
Remember these techniques are only effective if the forum participants DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM. Once they are aware of these techniques the operation can completely fail, and the forum can become uncontrolled. At this point other avenues must be considered such as initiating a false legal precidence to simply have the forum shut down and taken offline. This is not desirable as it then leaves the enforcement agencies unable to track the percentage of those in the population who always resist attempts for control against them. Many other techniques can be utilized and developed by the individual and as you develop further techniques of infiltration and control it is imperative to share then with HQ.

Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation
Note: The first rule and last five (or six, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply. These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership, key players, or planning level of the criminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up.
1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.
2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the 'How dare you!' gambit.
3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact.
4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.
5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism, reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.
7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.
8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough 'jargon' and 'minutia' to illustrate you are 'one who knows', and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.
9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.
10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man -- usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with - a kind of investment for the future should the matter not be so easily contained.) Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually then be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.
11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the 'high road' and 'confess' with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, 'just isn't so.' Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later, and even publicly 'call for an end to the nonsense' because you have already 'done the right thing.' Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for 'coming clean' and 'owning up' to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.
12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to lose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.
13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards or with an apparent deductive logic which forbears any actual material fact.
14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10.
15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.
16. Vanish evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.
17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.
18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.'
19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.
20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.
21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed and unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed. Usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim.
22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.
23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.
24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by destroying them financially, emotionally, or severely damaging their health.
25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.
_______________________________________________________________________
Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist
1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.
2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.
3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.
4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.
5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain. Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.
6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial.
Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo.
With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.
7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within.
I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.
8) Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation:
a) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth.
b) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command.
c) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.

How to Spot a Spy (Cointelpro Agent)
One way to neutralize a potential activist is to get them to be in a group that does all the wrong things. Why?
1) The message doesn't get out.
2) A lot of time is wasted
3) The activist is frustrated and discouraged
4) Nothing good is accomplished.
FBI and Police Informers and Infiltrators will infest any group and they have phoney activist organizations established.
Their purpose is to prevent any real movement for justice or eco-peace from developing in this country.
Agents come in small, medium or large. They can be of any ethnic background. They can be male or female.
The actual size of the group or movement being infiltrated is irrelevant. It is the potential the movement has for becoming large which brings on the spies and saboteurs.
This booklet lists tactics agents use to slow things down, foul things up, destroy the movement and keep tabs on activists.
It is the agent's job to keep the activist from quitting such a group, thus keeping him/her under control.
In some situations, to get control, the agent will tell the activist:

• "You're dividing the movement."

[Here, I have added the psychological reasons as to WHY this maneuver works to control people]
This invites guilty feelings. Many people can be controlled by guilt. The agents begin relationships with activists behind a well-developed mask of "dedication to the cause." Because of their often declared dedication, (and actions designed to prove this), when they criticize the activist, he or she - being truly dedicated to the movement - becomes convinced that somehow, any issues are THEIR fault. This is because a truly dedicated person tends to believe that everyone has a conscience and that nobody would dissimulate and lie like that "on purpose." It's amazing how far agents can go in manipulating an activist because the activist will constantly make excuses for the agent who regularly declares their dedication to the cause. Even if they do, occasionally, suspect the agent, they will pull the wool over their own eyes by rationalizing: "they did that unconsciously... they didn't really mean it... I can help them by being forgiving and accepting " and so on and so forth.
The agent will tell the activist:

• "You're a leader!"

This is designed to enhance the activist's self-esteem. His or her narcissistic admiration of his/her own activist/altruistic intentions increase as he or she identifies with and consciously admires the altruistic declarations of the agent which are deliberately set up to mirror those of the activist.
This is "malignant pseudo identification." It is the process by which the agent consciously imitates or simulates a certain behavior to foster the activist's identification with him/her, thus increasing the activist's vulnerability to exploitation. The agent will simulate the more subtle self-concepts of the activist.
Activists and those who have altruistic self-concepts are most vulnerable to malignant pseudo identification especially during work with the agent when the interaction includes matter relating to their competency, autonomy, or knowledge.
The goal of the agent is to increase the activist's general empathy for the agent through pseudo-identification with the activist's self-concepts.
The most common example of this is the agent who will compliment the activist for his competency or knowledge or value to the movement. On a more subtle level, the agent will simulate affects and mannerisms of the activist which promotes identification via mirroring and feelings of "twinship". It is not unheard of for activists, enamored by the perceived helpfulness and competence of a good agent, to find themselves considering ethical violations and perhaps, even illegal behavior, in the service of their agent/handler.
The activist's "felt quality of perfection" [self-concept] is enhanced, and a strong empathic bond is developed with the agent through his/her imitation and simulation of the victim's own narcissistic investments. [self-concepts] That is, if the activist knows, deep inside, their own dedication to the cause, they will project that onto the agent who is "mirroring" them.
The activist will be deluded into thinking that the agent shares this feeling of identification and bonding. In an activist/social movement setting, the adversarial roles that activists naturally play vis a vis the establishment/government, fosters ongoing processes of intrapsychic splitting so that "twinship alliances" between activist and agent may render whole sectors or reality testing unavailable to the activist. They literally "lose touch with reality."
Activists who deny their own narcissistic investments [do not have a good idea of their own self-concepts and that they ARE concepts] and consciously perceive themselves (accurately, as it were) to be "helpers" endowed with a special amount of altruism are exceedingly vulnerable to the affective (emotional) simulation of the accomplished agent.
Empathy is fostered in the activist through the expression of quite visible affects. The presentation of tearfulness, sadness, longing, fear, remorse, and guilt, may induce in the helper-oriented activist a strong sense of compassion, while unconsciously enhancing the activist's narcissistic investment in self as the embodiment of goodness.
The agent's expresssion of such simulated affects may be quite compelling to the observer and difficult to distinguish from deep emotion.
It can usually be identified by two events, however:
First, the activist who has analyzed his/her own narcissistic roots and is aware of his/her own potential for being "emotionally hooked," will be able to remain cool and unaffected by such emotional outpourings by the agent.
As a result of this unaffected, cool, attitude, the Second event will occur: The agent will recompensate much too quickly following such an affective expression leaving the activist with the impression that "the play has ended, the curtain has fallen," and the imposture, for the moment, has finished. The agent will then move quickly to another activist/victim.
The fact is, the movement doesn't need leaders, it needs MOVERS. "Follow the leader" is a waste of time.
A good agent will want to meet as often as possible. He or she will talk a lot and say little. One can expect an onslaught of long, unresolved discussions.
Some agents take on a pushy, arrogant, or defensive manner:
1) To disrupt the agenda
2) To side-track the discussion
3) To interrupt repeatedly
4) To feign ignorance
5) To make an unfounded accusation against a person.
Calling someone a racist, for example. This tactic is used to discredit a person in the eyes of all other group members.
Saboteurs
Some saboteurs pretend to be activists. She or he will ....
1) Write encyclopedic flyers (in the present day, websites)
2) Print flyers in English only.
3) Have demonstrations in places where no one cares.
4) Solicit funding from rich people instead of grass roots support
5) Display banners with too many words that are confusing.
6) Confuse issues.
7) Make the wrong demands.
8) Compromise the goal.
9) Have endless discussions that waste everyone's time. The agent may accompany the endless discussions with drinking, pot smoking or other amusement to slow down the activist's work.
Provocateurs
1) Want to establish "leaders" to set them up for a fall in order to stop the movement.
2) Suggest doing foolish, illegal things to get the activists in trouble.
3) Encourage militancy.
4) Want to taunt the authorities.
5) Attempt to make the activist compromise their values.
6) Attempt to instigate violence. Activism ought to always be non-violent.
7) Attempt to provoke revolt among people who are ill-prepared to deal with the reaction of the authorities to such violence.
Informants
1) Want everyone to sign up and sing in and sign everything.
2) Ask a lot of questions (gathering data).
3) Want to know what events the activist is planning to attend.
4) Attempt to make the activist defend him or herself to identify his or her beliefs, goals, and level of commitment.
Recruiting
Legitimate activists do not subject people to hours of persuasive dialog. Their actions, beliefs, and goals speak for themselves.
Groups that DO recruit are missionaries, military, and fake political parties or movements set up by agents.
Surveillance
ALWAYS assume that you are under surveillance.
At this point, if you are NOT under surveillance, you are not a very good activist!
Scare Tactics
They use them.
Such tactics include slander, defamation, threats, getting close to disaffected or minimally committed fellow activists to persuade them (via psychological tactics described above) to turn against the movement and give false testimony against their former compatriots. They will plant illegal substances on the activist and set up an arrest; they will plant false information and set up "exposure," they will send incriminating letters [emails] in the name of the activist; and more; they will do whatever society will allow.
This booklet in no way covers all the ways agents use to sabotage the lives of sincere an dedicated activists.
If an agent is "exposed," he or she will be transferred or replaced.
COINTELPRO is still in operation today under a different code name. It is no longer placed on paper where it can be discovered through the freedom of information act.
The FBI counterintelligence program's stated purpose: To expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, and otherwise neutralize individuals who the FBI categorize as opposed to the National Interests. "National Security" means the FBI's security from the people ever finding out the vicious things it does in violation of people's civil liberties.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression
Strong, credible allegations of high-level criminal activity can bring down a government. When the government lacks an effective, fact-based defense, other techniques must be employed. The success of these techniques depends heavily upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token opposition party.
1. Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen.
2. Wax indignant. This is also known as the "How dare you?" gambit.
3. Characterize the charges as "rumors" or, better yet, "wild rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be through "rumors." (If they tend to believe the "rumors" it must be because they are simply "paranoid" or "hysterical.")
4. Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest aspects of the weakest charges. Even better, create your own straw men. Make up wild rumors (or plant false stories) and give them lead play when you appear to debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.
5. Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist," "nutcase," "ranter," "kook," "crackpot," and, of course, "rumor monger." Be sure, too, to use heavily loaded verbs and adjectives when characterizing their charges and defending the "more reasonable" government and its defenders. You must then carefully avoid fair and open debate with any of the people you have thus maligned. For insurance, set up your own "skeptics" to shoot down.
6. Impugn motives. Attempt to marginalize the critics by suggesting strongly that they are not really interested in the truth but are simply pursuing a partisan political agenda or are out to make money (compared to over-compensated adherents to the government line who, presumably, are not).
7. Invoke authority. Here the controlled press and the sham opposition can be very useful.
8. Dismiss the charges as "old news."
9. Come half-clean. This is also known as "confession and avoidance" or "taking the limited hangout route." This way, you create the impression of candor and honesty while you admit only to relatively harmless, less-than-criminal "mistakes." This stratagem often requires the embrace of a fall-back position quite different from the one originally taken. With effective damage control, the fall-back position need only be peddled by stooge skeptics to carefully limited markets.
10. Characterize the crimes as impossibly complex and the truth as ultimately unknowable.
11. Reason backward, using the deductive method with a vengeance. With thoroughly rigorous deduction, troublesome evidence is irrelevant. E.g. We have a completely free press. If evidence exists that the Vince Foster "suicide" note was forged, they would have reported it. They haven't reported it so there is no such evidence. Another variation on this theme involves the likelihood of a conspiracy leaker and a press who would report the leak.
12. Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely. E.g. If Foster was murdered, who did it and why?
13. Change the subject. This technique includes creating and/or publicizing distractions.
14. Lightly report incriminating facts, and then make nothing of them. This is sometimes referred to as "bump and run" reporting.
15. Baldly and brazenly lie. A favorite way of doing this is to attribute the "facts" furnished the public to a plausible-sounding, but anonymous, source.
16. Expanding further on numbers 4 and 5, have your own stooges "expose" scandals and champion popular causes. Their job is to pre-empt real opponents and to play 99-yard football. A variation is to pay rich people for the job who will pretend to spend their own money.
17. Flood the Internet with agents. This is the answer to the question, "What could possibly motivate a person to spend hour upon hour on Internet news groups defending the government and/or the press and harassing genuine critics?" Don t the authorities have defenders enough in all the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? One would think refusing to print critical letters and screening out serious callers or dumping them from radio talk shows would be control enough, but, obviously, it is not.

Hi, Iinclude po ako ng husband ko sa visa nya as a subsequent entrant(482) need ko pa po ba ng docu na ties sa philippines? and for how many months po yung processing time? Any idea po?
Target namin is next year january na yung flight ko.
Thanks in advance.

At the time of this post 145 thousand people are still without power going on almost 6 days without power. Tornado wiped out our power grid in select areas throughout Texas (I believe the number was about 800 thousand people got hit without power). Here's some things I learned and a situation report of my experience living with a very large family of mixed ages.
Context: We had been getting hit with some pretty gnarly weather however business as usual in Texas. I didn't think much of it usually when our grids down they're pretty quick to respond minus the snow storm years back. So when I heard there was a storm brewing I didn't even flinch I always keep some very very basics, battery's, lights, water, 2 weeks minimum of non perishable foods, self defense protection, and ammo, etc. But I hardly consider myself a prepper anymore, but I know some people don't even have that.
I use to be really on top of my preps overtime, however my stockpile had dwindled, as did my thirst for knowledge and hands on experience/training. I just honestly wasn't on top of my game anymore, and quit taking this as serious years ago. This tornado really brought me back to reality, so this post is mostly for entry level preppers looking at some practical advice from a 5 day experience, I fully regret the fact I quit taking this serious years ago.
First Day: Around 6pm, emergency alert on phone stating tornado in your area, seek shelter immediately. Thought ok let's shelter in the master bedroom closet. Wind rocked the house pretty good, could hear limbs from tree's falling, within about 10 minutes the power shuts off, and glancing outside within a hour the streets flooded. The storm had died down, as did the flooding, and it was time to asses the damage in the immediate area. Got in the car, power had blown out pretty much every store/house within a several mile zone. Found one square zone with a few places that had power, got some fast food but waited about 30 minutes because everyone went there.
What I wish I had on day one/ and general notes:
Rain boots: The streets had not only flooded but was blocked by limbs in the roadway. Luckily our flooding wasn't too severe but had it been I wish I did have rainboots so normal shoes didn't get soaked, or some type of beach sandals, etc.
Chainsaw, electric saw, axes, regular saw: Would of come in handy if the limbs in our area blocking the road were any bigger.
Higher up vehicles: Some vehicles couldn't make it through the flood due to being so low to the ground, so take into account your vehicles.
More variety of quality flashlights: Electric Lanterns came in clutch, but wish I had more handhelds, head mounted, and higher end lanterns.
Battery Inventory checks: Wish I had not only more batteries cause you really do burn through these quick, but wish I had checked all my lights battery condition, and stored new batteries in waterproof containers.
Alternative sources to battery's: Not a huge fan of candles due to fire risk, but some not scented beeswax or soy based candles would of came in handy to help ration battery supply. Maybe glass lanterns as well for safety and ease of transport. Glowsticks would of been great option too.
Car chargers: Believe it or not some of us didn't have car chargers for our cell phones cause we mostly charge our phones at home, although we were able to share, wish we had this on day one for all our phones.
Fully charged portable battery bank, or portable phone chargers: If we had this we wouldn't of been out in our cars late at night charging stuff putting us at more risk for being possible victims to crime.
Quality of cell phone, and cellphone provider: Have a POS phone but keep putting off upgrading it? Don't. Luckily mine was good but some of our cellphone providers carriers had better signal then others, some of are phones were in bad shape and it was noted we wish we didn't put off upgrading it sooner. You can't predict how well your provider will do but maybe do your research, unsure how this works but now I can do my research and learn from it. I had 0 issues with boost mobile but other family members weren't so lucky.
Cash: This is obvious but due to us moving towards a cashless society its pretty uncommon, but this would of came in handy due to how many places didn't have power. You can do so much with cash.
Battery powered or rechargeable camping fans: I did have one of these, it even had a light but wish I had more.
Larger ice chest: Now we had a few, but they were smaller. We lost everything in our fridge/freezer besides canned drinks, I mean everything. We had just bought grocery's too, lesson learned.
OTC sleeping medication: We had melatonin, and Tylenol pm, but it was so quiet you could hear a mouse sneeze a block over, until the generators turned on. First two are OK options but given its only going to be cool at night, and we knew tomorrow would be hot, we took kratom to sleep. Check your area some states it's illegal, not recommending it but it's what we used. I wish I had stockpiled more kratom, I took it when I got the flu on top of C word to relieve body aches and found out it really helped me sleep and ease pain/stress. Usually cycle this 3 days on max, one day off to prevent habit forming.
(This is really for day two + but ill post this here cause I noticed it on day one)
Backup supply of my personal vices or quitting personal vices: I know this may sound stupid but I am fully addicted to caffeine, and nicotine. I picked my poison and know what I signed up for. Caffeine really? yeah really not sure if you know this but for some people caffeine withdrawal can make you really suffer, and I mean really suffer check out decaf. I was in the process of lowering my caff intake to 1 cup of tea a day, and quit soda. Was one month off soda before the storm came in, but had to relapse due to us not carrying high caff tea on supply.
But yeah stock up on your vices so you aren't going through withdrawals during an emergency. Was on 3mg per ml of nicotine and had to dish out 30$ for a disposable vape thats 50mg per ml at a gas station on day two to prevent withdrawals. So I was on way higher dose of nic then usual due to only being able to purchase what I could find, for reference 50mg per ml if you use that in 10 days thats about a pack of ciggs worth of nic per day. So yeah either quit your vice or stock up, I don't advocate hard drugs at all so this isn't for that but this is mainly aimed at coffee/caff use, etc. Instant coffee packs may be great for some people.
Battery powered radio: Can't stress enough how mentally taxing silence can be long term. We had one, but the battery port crapped out. Lesson learned, test your preps.
Backup food for your pet friends: Luckily I was pretty good on pet food but imagine if I wasn't, and this was more severe.
Water situation: Had a decent amount of drinking water, we had running water. If we didn't I would say I wish I had filled up the giant jugs I bought for flushing the toilet/doing dishes or running through a berkey water filter if we ran out of drinking water. I had bought 5 gallon blue jugs specifically for this years back. However I cleaned them out, and didn't refill, Lesson learned.
2nd Day: We were able to cook some stuff on a gas stove, luckily. People at gas stations were stocking up on ice, filling their gas cans up for their generators, and shelves were getting empty at stores with power only on some things though wasn't too bad cause the power outage was scattered some had power, others didn't. Mostly a waiting game at this point, most of the preps I wish I had on this day were the same as day one, but ill toss in some stuff I wish I had. Obtained a portable battery powered radio, the morale boost was real for everyone, even the dogs.
What I wish I had on day two/ and general notes:
BBQ style lighters to light gas stove: We had two but recently tossed em out due to being empty. Realized I had no bics, and only had one box of matches, feels bad man.
Entertainment: Board games like checkers, board games for kids, chess, basic poker set, etc. These would of been awesome and a great way to keep the kids entertained and the adults, the boredom was real. We hit local goodwill's that had power to look for radios, and cheap prep supplies and games, but no luck.
Third day: By then reality set in for most people, neighbors who could afford to do so booked hotels or bugged out to places with power. The generators really started up by day three, everyone was buying gas for them and you could hear them in almost every direction. Pretty sure some people had it from the start but noticed them more by day three. A lot of people were sitting outside the front of their homes trying to escape the heat. Ice from most places were completely sold out, so you had to really shop around to find any.
Finding news about the power outage day 1-3 was kind of hit and miss, KHOU news updates were pretty short and it took us some time to know how severe the storms damage actually was, cause we were focused on trying to get stuff done around the house and conserving battery. I believe at one point CenterPoint's actual website went down. Mostly resulted to local news channels, and nextdoor app. We couldn't watch live news and had to rely on when KHOU posted youtube videos.
Private security company's hired guards and they started patrolling certain stores that could afford the security, obviously to deter looters. Traffic everywhere was insane in every which direction during peak hours more then usual, PD presence was pretty high, more then usual.
What I wish I had on day three/ and general notes:
Generator: Pretty obvious why, had no experience with them but wish I did, and wish I bought one pre-blackout when I was more into prepping and took time to learn about them and how to use and maintain them properly.
Ham radio: Or something to pick up on local freqs to monitor radio comms for information regarding the storm and local activity if any. I think this may of been better then waiting on local news to post videos.
Day Four: Buddy had power so he dropped off his generator and gave me quick instructions on how to run it, how far away to place them, etc. By day four the temps really ramped up, and this thing definitely kept us cool. When you think of bartering you think of some post apocalypse stuff, but no. In reality you can barter during any emergency, buddy dropped it off free of charge but was able to offer some booze as a thank you. So even if you don't drink stock up on booze/ciggs to barter, never know what you might trade it for. Times are tough in this economy and I honestly didn't have much money to spare, family had to pool our funds together to get last minute preps to survive this, cause we didn't know how long this would really last. In certain areas they said it could be weeks. However the alcohol was a small thank you that I could afford and he was happy so all worked out.
Gas cans were sold out, and extension cord supply's were looking extremely low at local hardware store. From what I overheard they also completely sold out of generators. Honestly wish I knew more about electrical stuff but my buddy gave me a small crash course in wiring everything. You can't just plug it in and pray for the best. Bought the best gauge extensions cords I could afford for our needs, and the distance and hooked it up.
We ran one bedroom AC unit, fans for the dogs, wired a light, and a charging station. Also don't cheap out on gas cans it's not worth blowing your face off or starting a fire, or having it leak. If you get a generator do your research on how to properly run it, and safely fill it. Crime in this area can be fairly high we've had a few drive by shootings and other not so good police involved things. Read this book along time ago about post collapse security, so I blacked out our windows so when we turned lights on no one knew we had power. You may hear the generator, but from the street we look like we don't have anything going for us. My biggest fear was looters from people who were less fortunate or really down bad. We near a common site for homeless people as well so they foot traffic the area.
Generators are very loud, between that and listening to the radio 12 hours a day, I was beginning to audio hallucinate lyrics that weren't there with the radio off, and suffered from heat exhaustion. That and the fact we had homeless in our area and tweekers who might loot I was running off adrenaline a bit. 24 hours almost that night without sleep, and didn't even feel tired. Slept near my firearm until my family woke up at daylight and when daylight hit I knew we were in the clear and I passed out.
What I wish I had on day fou and general notes:
Knowledge of generators.
Knowledge about electricity/wiring them safely.
Security: Some type of physical alarm bell to put on the door like metal door knob alarm bells so it jingles if anyone enters to alert the dogs, had to keep the door slightly cracked so the wires hooked up to the generator would fit. So we couldn't lock the door, which is probably where my anxiety of tweekers coming in came from.
Day Five: Same shit different day, power came on that evening.
Conclusion: Just cause it doesn't look like societal collapse or WW3 prep your shit for emergency's native to your area or go beyond, idc but prep. They ain't coming to help for awhile, or at all if it's very severe...so it's up to you and your community to pull through. This was a wake up call, thanks for coming to my prep talk.

Hello,
My mom's gonna be using the PC for just office work type of stuff and watching videos on Youtube and wherever else. So a GPU is unnecessary, and we also already have a monitokeyboard/mouse/speakers/wifi card. The last PC I've built for my mom lasted about a decade, and we're hoping this one will last just as long or more. So I'm wanting to choose parts/brands that are likely to be durable and long-lasting, even if it may not be the best performance per dollar in the short term.
I saw that the sticky thread has a recommended build for $~600. If you've got suggestions on how to best cut corners, I'd love to hear them. I'm also willing to hear perspectives on why the $600 build is worth spending an extra $100 for, if that is the case. Thank you very much for your insights.

Hello there, This game is fun with friends but it's pretty hard at some level (easy to play, hard to master), specially for people with disability.
This game with fast 3D movement (the ball come to you from the left with a variable height for exemple) is pretty hard for people with dyspraxia , but can help to manage a bit the dyspraxia.
As a dyspraxic , RL help me a little (but more less than BeamNG Drive) for driving, specially for quick reflex (people can drive si stupidly in real life), I still stuck at G3-P2 depending of the mod.
I just curious : how many dyspraxic player here ? And for dyspraxic player, the game help you on your real life ?

Zero preference, functionality is key

Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.

Like I said, VR performance is key. however I would argue that the PC would also be good as a streaming machine as it will sit in the garage and maybe could be paired with a nice handheld for streaming it.

The G, the final boss of Omega, Tiger Niko (TN) is way stronger than you think he is
1 TRAINED MULTIPLE S-TIERS
He trained Lu Tian (top 3 of A-tiers), Setsuna (former S-tier), Ohma (S-tier, Lets remember advance what TN taught to Ohma was the key to beating Rolón), Fei (former S-tier) and Agito (former S-tier). And You know why? Because TN has the best techniques of the verse and he is constantly evolving and researching. Btw Wulong himself thanks that his research will lead to the perfect warrior capable to rivaling him (not close to doing so like Kuroki)
2MASTER OF NIKO STYLE AND FORMLESS
Man has complete mastery of the Niko style (most OP fighting style of the verse) and formless (which btw is his creator) so he has a Lot of techniques. Also he evolved the Niko style on his own way so man has a lot of new techniques Ohma hasn't. So he is a complete Master of two of the most OP styles of the verse
3OFFSCREENED KIRYU
He destroyed an S-tier while having lost his sense of balance+great impact to the neck and his inner ear. bUt EDdiE WaS dEsTrOYiNg ThE kUrE. True. Also TN was destroying Kiryu but when they both got a debuff by a surprise attack and were fighting a single S-tier Eddie Also survi... Oh yeah he f*cking died while TN survived lol. bUt EDdiE WaS fIgThInG mUlTiPle kUrEs like all jobbers at the end he only fought Raian and he lost period. Literally as simple as that TN>>>Eddie man survived Kiryu while debuffed, Eddie died against Raian while debuffed. So yeah that is NOT an antifeat rather a pretty decent feat.
4ALMOST BEAT NIKO 4
Most people think that is an antifeat but is the contrary. Lets get whit some scaling. Niko 4 is stated by Sandro himself to be able to reach the finals of the KAT no mather the bracket this basically means he can do the hardest bracket possible. R1 Kiryu R2 KUROKI R3 Simp-boosted Rei and R4 KANOH and still reach the finals. So Niko 4>>Kuroki. When TN and Niko 4 fought like 14 YEARS AGO. TN did like 90% of the job to kill TN. Bu-but he also fought Genzan and Advance Ohma which are like complete fodder lmao. Advance Ohma was literally beat tf out by Niko 4 in Ohma's dream lmao and Genzan was killed mid-diff by pre-KAT Kiryu So yeah they were like complete fodder specially to a man stronger than Kuroki. So TN did like 90% of the job of killing Niko 4. So, if we do some scaling mumbo jumbo we get that TN from 14 YEARS AGO was R4 Kanoh level. 14 YEARS AGO. Which is impressive considering.
A IT WAS 14 YEARS AGO
B TN is constantly evolving , developing new techniques, fighthing styles and becoming stronger
5HAS THE MOST OP TRANSFORMATION OF THE VERSE
He taught Fei DD the most OP transformation of the verse. Which is the perfect trio (super strenght, super speed and super kinetic-vision) also after Fei died TN days that he have allá the information he needs to develop the Niko style further and two years hace passed since that so he probably achieved some way for having a DD without drawbacks (perhaps DD 1sec, like Ohma 1-sec Advance?)
6HAS THE COURAGE TO GO AGAINST WULONG
Luohan (Who is probably top 2 of the verse as stated by Wulong himself) asked for help to TN so you know how strong he is if the top 2 of the verse asks him for help while reveling against the strongest of the verse (top 3 behaviour frfr, and people yap Gil/Eddie is stronger than TN) So he is strong enough to be a threat to Shen. Btw Yan yapping does not mean anything man has like 0 feats lmao (SS X2 like Willem did not have at least that thing with Guihun 100% and still jobbed to Raian lol)
7PLOTWISE HE IS THE FINAL BOSS FOR MANY S-TIERS
Agito, Ohma and Kiryu all have grudges against TN and when you have the most OP good guys go against TN you know he is going to be even stronger than them (Final boss behaviour frfr) he is not like Yan that plot-wise is a comedy resource. Man is an evil bastard that have most S-tier tilted about him (Final boss behaviour X2) Btw he is the villain that have most time appearing Lets remember that TN was foreshadowed since Ohma vs Raian, Ohma vs Raian man like how many years have passed since this fight?. So he obviously is going to have a good ending for him and when he eventually gets defeated he won't be gone without killing some S-tier in the procces while being the most goated character of the verse
So IN conclusion TN is the absolute GOAT and he is definetevly top 3 of the verse.

(Baka last update na ituu.)
May nabasa kasi ako na parang di raw totoo ‘to kasi ang daming nangyari within 2-3 weeks.
Actually, pang fourth time na pang gagago na ‘to. I don’t know, everything became messy after my birthday last December, after giving me a promise ring (na mej maluwag) and after we went to Pandora para pasukatan ang ring finger ko for engagement ring “daw”, lol. Sign na siguro ‘yung maluwag na promise ring HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
First was last Dec, few days after my birthday, he went to our house around 10PM, lasing siya that time, galing siya sa bahay ng pinsan nila, boys night keme, but he only stayed for few minutes kasi babalik daw siya doon. Pero he told me to wait for him kasi sa’min daw siya matutulog. I waited for him, hanggang sa napuyat na ko wala pa rin. I called him many times pero walang sagot. Nag alala pa ko no’n coz dala niya ‘yung sasakyan niya, syempre naisip ko that time naaksidente na or what.
The next morning, ang dami kong missed call from his sister, asking me if I was with him hindi raw kasi umuwi hindi rin matawagan. We were all worried about him, ‘yung pinsan niya na pinuntahan niya wala ring idea kung nasaan siya kasi umalis rin daw doon pagkabalik. Guess what kung saan siya galing? Sa bahay ng current girlfriend ng ex fling ko. Oo, ang hirap paniwalaan pero yes super smol ng world. Actually, sila ‘yung common denominator namin kaya humaba usapan namin nung first usap namin sa getting to know each other stage. Friend niya ‘yung current girlfriend ng ex fling ko and nakakasama niya sa gatherings ‘yung ex fling ko pero hindi sila close. Anyways, my ex-BF hated my ex-fling, after ko kasi sagutin si ex-BF, ex-fling messaged me na bakit daw jinowa ko si ex-BF. And nung first month namin ni ex-BF, ilang beses ako pinuntahan ni ex-fling sa bahay iwan lang si ex-BF. Mas gwapo si ex-fling pero mas gago, medyo messy rin kasi ‘yung story namin HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Toro kasi ako before, kaya attracted ako sa red. It’s another story.
Going back, hindi ko rin alam mahal yata ako ni Lord kasi nakita ko lang naman na may story si current GF ni ex-fling na nasa inuman siya tas iba na ‘yung kutob ko. I messaged my ex-fling, I asked him kung nasaan girlfriend niya, he told me na kasama daw ni Zena, nag inom daw last night (pinsan ni current GF ni ex fling). Around 11AM, nakauwi na si ex-BF, I asked him saan siya galing, he told me sa bahay daw ni Zena siya galing with their other tropa. Syempre I already know, na nandoon din si current girlfriend ni ex-fling so I asked him if kasama ba niya ‘yon, HE TOLD ME NA NO AND HE DENIED. I messaged ex-fling if totoo ba na kasama ng girlfriend niya si Zena, sabi oo daw she even sent him a pic with Zena. So I told him my ex-BF’s answer to me na kasama rin daw si Zena. And there, ex-BF and ex-fling’s current GF were both telling us na kasama nila si Zena but denying na kasama nila ang isa’t isa. Later on, we found out from their other kasama na oo nga na parehas nga silang nandoon at magkatabi pa daw sa inuman and same room rin natulog but with Zena daw. We broke up after that but few weeks nag come back rin coz he missed me daw and that he’s sorry about what he did, the lying and denying but not sorry na nakasama niya si current GF ni ex-fling. They’re just friends lang daw talaga. Syempre, pinatawad ko, ginaslight ko pa sarili ko na baka OA lang ako. But you know what, later on I found out na clingy rin pala sila during that time, na kapag nac-CR si current GF ni ex-fling nagpapasama siya kay and ex-BF.
That was the first. The second was last Feb, nahuli ko siya na nag drunk chat sa crush niya na mahilig mag post ng naka-bikini and luwa ang suso. Binati niya ng Happy V-Day! Obob ko sobra, if you’re my friend baka nilublob mo na ko sa timba. But anyways, ayoko na. Too much na, I don’t have any plans na bumalik pa. Di na rin naman ‘yon babalik, and nakakahiya na rin sa sarili ko at sa mga kaibigan ko if babalikan ko pa. This is just a phase, things will get better rin.
Update with him and new girl, ex-BF changed his profile pic na ako ‘yung nag pic. New girl commented, “Bakit ka nagpalit DP, ayaw mo na ba sa luma?” with laughing emoji. And they went out today, guess what where he brought her? To our favorite resto, hehe. I don’t have any plans of doing any pettiness but my friends plan to. He has a secret na ang may alam lang ay ang family niya and me and his ex-GF, nalaman ko lang dahil malikot ang kamay ko and wala siyang choice kung hindi ang umamin.
Update with girl besty, she’s back in the US. Anyways, may nabasa ako na wala naman daw cheating sa ginawa nung dalawa, lols. Ang dami kong screenshot ng convo nila, favorite ko pa nga doon ay ‘yung screenshot ng suggestion niya. My ex-BF told her na nag aaway kami because of her, and this was her answer: “Makipag break ka na lang. Kasi di’ba may gano’n? Kapag di na nila kaya, araw araw nag aaway, wala na sa ayos, makipagbreak ka na lang.”
I already blocked him and all his friends and fam na rin. I really want peace.

Hi, I'm planning to invest in this through Gcash app. I was enticed by the dividend payouts and how conveniently I could access this through the Gcash platform. I saw some threads that this one has too many dang fees, further my profile is a bit aggressive and looking for a long term (like 5-10years timeline) investment portfolio that pays regular dividends. How was your experience on this fund? or any alternative you may want to suggest for me to consider instead of this? Dati na din akong nag trade sa stock market back 2018 during the ISM(now DITO i think?), IRC, and them other speculative stocks hype back then. Had my fair share of joining discord chat of hypers and FB groups and had my good days of TODAmoon days, kumita ng malaki, nasunog din ng malaki lumabas naman na buhay sa stock market (nailabas ng buo ang capital +9k php net income sa port using 110k capital) last trade ko is 2020 trip trip lang, nanalo lang ng quick 2k in one day - PIP ata toh AFAIremember, sobrang kabado nako at nauurat tumingin sa charts nauubos oras mag analyze ng mga kung ano ano and feel ko hindi gumagana yung mga systemsystem and all them TA shit na inaaral ko, feel ko nakaka chamba lang ako like hit or miss scenario sa mga trades ko kahit may system ako na sinusunod, So bottomline. After that trade, I reflected back then na parang hindi na para sa akin yung ako mismo nagte-trade ng stock and I didn't trade until now at kung babalik man ako, plan ko sana yung mga dividend play nalang or mag invest sa mga nagbibigay ng good yield like coops and dividends like this ALFM thing and mayroon na akong somehow decent capital na pwede iinvest. Any insight/tips you can share with would be much appreciated! Thank you!

reddit family i need your insights please wala akong trusted person na pwede ako mag open up ng nararamdaman ko.people around me betrayed me already.

And here I am parang lahat ng memories ko bumalik lahat ng pain kahit paulit ulit ko sinasabi sa sarili ko na practical lang dapat kasi may dalawang anak kmi at wala din naman ako. Wala akong balak pigilan siya kasi sa panahon ngayon mas kailangan natin ang pera.

Hello guys,l wanted to know how can I get myself a research intern, l am in my 3rd semester of my engineering in a non CSE program, but I have passion for the subject and have taught myself from courses on coursera and in my 5th semester want to pursue a research intern under good guidance,
1- What should I learn from here on? (provided I have completed first 3 ml courses of Andrew ng on coursera) 2- What should be the roadmap that I should for the next 1 year? 3- Is it possible for non CSE majors student?
Thankyou :)

Alright, so, Pagtatag era has concluded, and since then it's been a blast. Though, that is not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about being a fan of SB19 or simply being an A'tin, also liking something that is not simply your thing before and being a fan of boy/girlbands in general, and why it became popular. The most famous question about it is, how you became a fan, or why did you become a fan, right? Well, it's simple really, just like any other individual who likes something or someone. It is simply because you are amazed by it or by them. You are captivated.
So, let's get into boyband/girlbands. Before, there's Jackson 5, NKotB, Menudo, BSB, Hanson, Boyzone, TLC, Spice Girls, Nsync, Boyz II Men, Destiny's Child, Westlife, 98 Degress and many more (can't really list all of them and these are mostly western artists lol). They are an automatic hit to the public, but little did we know that they are ridiculed as well by most genres outside of them, at least that's what I know back then. However, since people did not really care about it, they just continued their thing. Fast forward to this day, it is evident that they are the main inspiration of modern pop genre for many boy/girlbands. What I really want to talk about here is, why is it easy to accept them before than modern boy/girlbands.
I'm a straight guy in my early 30s, I never liked any boy/girlbands before in my teenage and young adult years (early and mid 20s). I'm a metal head, as the popular term for it. I'm kind of a musician myself and on a band before. Our main genre of music is circled on hardcore punk/emo, alternative/hard rock, blues, progressive/heavy metal, smooth/blues jazz and sometimes classical etc (Incubus, Pearl Jam, Dream Theater, Alice in Chains, John Mayer, Weather Report, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Motorhead, Primus, and so on). I'm the typical guy who don't like that "cutesy music" in the early 2010s like Justin Bieber, One Direction or Miley Cyrus when they started. When Kpop became a thing here in our country (2006-2009), I've only liked one group (Wonder Girls) and never did like any groups after that. Though, I did not bad mouth them in any way, but I admit, I questioned its popularity. The thing is, during those days, I realize that I liked legacy boybands like BSB, Nsync, A1 and so on and compared that they are so much better. Back in the day, as I mentioned, those boybands are kind of ridiculed too in the underground music, here in the country because of their "Pa-pogi demeanor music" that is not very "masculine" at all.
Now, going back to the question, why is it easier to accept the music of boy/girlbands before, than now? Yes, BTS and One Direction almost conquered the music industry as successor to the genre, but that's just about it, and they are still ridiculed outside of their genre (I'm not a fan of them by the way). I never liked them, but I admire their talent just recently. Now, Ppop is rising though I can't really say steadily. SB19 and other Ppop groups is now doing all they can to up the music of OPM and introduce Ppop to international stage, but they are still ridiculed. I for one, is also being ridiculed by my peers just because I like them and the genre itself. Though, I don't really mind and actually won't talk about it to them often. One time, I've shown one of my former bandmate and friend a performance of SB19 from Rappler (Ilaw). The immediate thing he noticed is their style of fashion and said "ambaduy ng suot nila". I retaliated immediately as well, if you don't like their fashion, don't look at it and focus on their singing instead. He then admitted that they're good, but still feel that he's just being "nice" to me since we're friends. I'm not saying my friends are constantly teasing or insulting me for liking SB19. It's just that, I guess it is natural, since it is not my thing before.
So, why is it easier to accept the music of boy/girl bands before? I think it's simply because of the fact that people don't really give an F on what anyone is saying most of the times. Now, social media is everywhere, and you can share something very easily in just one click. You can stream/watch music anywhere. Just like what I heard from an interview, that the popularity of artists before are considered as the "legitimate one" because everything is manual and hard copied. No digital consummations of music/product and mostly are analog as the term for it.
Anyway, going back to SB19, I always tell myself that, SB19 are the "Jesus" of Ppop haha just because they are the ones who constantly received all derogatory talks and insults when they started. They are the ones who simply received the first ridicule in modern Ppop (kpop wannabee, pa-cute, gender insults, etc.) before Ppop has been officially recognized all over the country. Til today, they are still the subject of ridicule just because they're "pogi and cute". I mean, obviously, other groups still receive those typical insults, but they are the ones that is heavily receiving it even before they debut, but like I said, the same as Jesus, they are also the ones who salvaged the genre of Ppop and be recognized as OPM. In conclusion, as always, people only look the imperfection of something/someone, before checking it first, but I guess that is the beauty of it sometimes because we will also see what can be improved from it. I admit, I'm still doing that as well. I guess, that is not in our control, as long as SB19 and other Ppop groups will do what needs to be done, time will only tell that Ppop and OPM is one that can rise exponentially in the music industry globally.
Thank you for going to my TEDxTalk lol..

I am aware of several algorithms from scikit-learn such as LR, SVR, KNR etc.
The thing is they are sometimes limited

• Accept only one dimensional input (i.e., N x Features, whereas my data is multi-dimensional, flattening F to 1D didn't show better performance compared to a 2D CNN)
• Difficult to work with large amount of data
• Not many work with multi-output regression, or they'd require some tweaks (e.g., one regressor per output)

I couldn't find many discussions about the effectiveness of this approach. Regression problem seems to be a lot less popular than classification in terms of available open-source projects (huggingface, AIhub, timm, mmpretrain, etc.)
Regarding neural networks, one also may argue that we can just modify the head to perform regression, is that really that simple?
In summary, I would like to know if anyone has experience working with regression tasks, do you

• Only use classic ML algorithms. In that case, how did you overcome the limitations mentioned above. The data I am working with is audio wav form and it can have a size of 1000 x 5000 or so.
• Or have you used neural networks to perform multi-output regression? Which architectures would you recommend . Any details we need to be aware of?

Thank you (and please correct me if I'm wrong about anything)

I am 28F. You know when you create scenarios in your mind just to help you sleep at night? I do that everyday. So since wala akong boyfriend now and not really interacting with anyone, si ate mo naghanap ng Male Lead ng kanyang scenario 😅 naalala ko may crush ako nung high school to college na churchmate ko, so siya ang chosen one for my scenarios. This went on for many nights, maybe a week. And since I haven't heard from him kasi di kami friends sa fb and di din ako active on social media, naisipan ko isearch siya sa social media to see how he's doing. And si Male Lead ko ay kasal na pala hahaha I, then, felt a strange feeling na di ko maexplain. Parang nandiri ako sa ginawa ko. Di ko din akalain na kasal na siya kasi playboy siya before. Though imaginations ko lang yung mga scenarios ko, the thought na I was fantisizing a married person, nandiri ako sa self ko. Yuck talaga.

For reference, here’s the first part: https://www.reddit.com/OffMyChestPH/s/bSlAmJnhvB
UPDATE:
The last exhibit happened a week ago, May 12, our anniversary. I let him spent his time with his girl besty kasi parang ayokong maging masama kasi baka sabihin nauna naman dumating si girl besty bago ako umeksena-something like that. But of course, I was disrespected. I told him how those things made me feel and I even told him that, that is not how you treat your besty when you are already in a relationship.
I opened about it many times and that sa tingin ko they should be together coz it seems like they like each other but in denial lang and I even asked for a break up many times as well, actually every night doon nag eend ‘yung convo namin, me asking for a break up. Bru, I cried for a week like almost everyday lalo na kapag nakikita ko ‘yung IG stories ng girl besty niya, I couldn’t sleep nor eat. I even tried sleeping pills just to help myself sleep. ‘Yung sagot niya about doon? Wala daw akong dapat ikapagselos, that he only sees her as his little sister and that she’s here for two weeks only and that he only wanted to make bawi to her blabla. Di ko matanggap na parang kailangan ipahiram ko siya ng two weeks just to make girl besty special, lol.
The last exhibit was my last straw, sumabog na ko pinagmumura ko na siya for making me feel insecure and etc. I initiated the break up, ayaw niya pumayag and he suggested na mag cool off daw muna. Syempre di na kami high school alam ko na kung saan talaga ang punta ng cool off. So okay, I agreed but I was actually preparing myself for the actual break up. I was slowly detaching myself, hindi ko alam, parang nung nakaraang linggo pa lang kasi naubos na agad ako, parang nasa break up stage na ko noon kahit wala pa naman. Masakit pa rin pero hindi na ganoon kasakit compared last week. After that they stopped talking and meeting, according to his guy friend lagi na lang daw nasa bahay ex-BF ko and that we should fix our relationship daw, but I am not sure if totoo.
I still checked up on him, I still asked how was his day pero sobrang dalang ng usap namin. I started going out with my friends na rin, every day iba ibang circle of friends para malibang ako. Siya naman, lagi siyang nasa inuman sa bahay nila or ng pinsan niya, minsan he would call me and told me that he missed me and blabla. Gusto ko sana siyang gulangan, na nasa moving on stage na ko, na kapag nasa actual break up na voila okay na ko. Pero gago ‘yon, ako yata nautakan. Tangina, HAHAHAHHAAHHAHA.
Four days ago, May 17, nagchat siya na may pupuntahan daw siya na car meet up (not sure sa term) sabi ko lang okay. Tapos bru, the next day di na siya masyadong nagchachat, since mej prepared na naman ako deadma lang. Pero may kutob ulit ako, so I stalked his IG, then I saw a new girl na kaka-follow lang niya, no mutual friends, ni hindi rin finofollow ng kahit sinong relative or friends niya so parang sketchy. Tapos ewan ko baliw yata ako, I stalked the FB account of the girl then doon ko nakita na parang friends na rin sila doon, hanggang sa nakarating ako sa Twitter. ‘Yung new girl ay med tech student from NU and according to her tweets, she met someone daw na parang pinapakilig siya but parang may sabit and that she’s excited for his incoming birthday. And yes, it’s his birthday yesterday. May 19, we officially broke up. And the last thing he said? “Please do not betray me with your best friend. Do not find someone else yet, baka kapag okay na tayo parehas as an individual without any issues baka pwede pa.”
Back story about my best friend, I also have a guy best friend who’s also in a long term relationship. Before nung single pa kami oo, we made jokes na baka kami talaga pero nung nagkajowa na siya nag adjust ‘yung treatment namin sa isa’t isa at nung nagkajowa na ko we lost our connection kasi uncomfy ‘yung jowa ko (now ex). Kaso after nung unofficial break up/cool off namin nung May 12, the next day mineet ako ng best friend ko with our other girl friend, so tatlo kami. Mineet nila ko para pagaanin ‘yung loob ko and to help me what to do next but that’s it. So going back to the story, wala ako masyadong nakitang interaction nila sa FB like heart or react sa posts or comment. But the new girl has many shared posts suggesting she’s falling in love keme but still hesitant about the guy. ‘Yung ex ko ayun react kuno sa posts or stories ko.
But yesterday, I confirmed everything. The girl uploaded a story on IG, a picture of him and my ex, greeting him a happy birthday with a cake. He celebrated his birthday with his kunsintidor na kapatid, kaibigan and her. She even tweeted how happy she was that she was able to spend his birthday with her and that finally she could launch him without feeling guilty. And yes, they met doon sa car meet keme but she’s not a car girl, cyclist si madam. Partially prepared naman na ako pero gago masakit pa rin pala. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, tangina netong ex ko, kupal. Tangina mo rin ate gurl. Happy birthday, bru! Pag pray na lang kita, maging happy nawa kayo, charot.
