Super cool nicknames

so in my world, i have people living on a planet that is super humid and hot and there would be constant rainstorms. i was struggling with how to dress the people, i wanted if you guys have some cool examples in history of how people dressed in hot weather? it can be armor or just everyday clothes!
some examples that come to mind are a lot of southeast asian and aztec clothing and armor. i think i just want to draw inspiration from them and kinf of design some sort of hybrid between that and medieval armor.

We often hear about the classes that need work, or aren't fun, but what are your top eight that really show off Pathfinder 2e and the Paizo design team?
For me (although I haven't played or seen them all in use, just based on what I read a lot):

1. Fighter - interacts well with the critical hit system and feels customizable and fun.
2. Monk - interacts super well with the 3 action economy
3. Kineticist - get cool powers without needed to use Vancian spellcasting, also a relatively original idea.
4. Thaumaturge - awesome flavor, feels like you want it to feel while playing
5. Ranger - similar to fighter but with more specific flavor
6. Magus - actually fusing attacks with spells is awesome
7. Summoner - designing your own eidolon is awesome

Number 8 I guess is bard, although I don't really like the full spellcaster vibe I'm glad they committed to giving them cool options. I get the feeling it may be replaced with animist or the commander when they come out.
Agree? Disagree? What's your eight?

Is anybody doing Atmos mastering yet? Have requests ramped up or died down?
I've gotten maybe two inquiries about it in the last 2 years from independent artists/bands. I know a big part of that is because I'm not offering it but it's still telling.
After trying to be open-minded about Atmos on AirPods Pro & Max checking stuff out while at the gym or walking the dog etc., I finally heard a proper Atmos room and it did sound kind of good for the type of music I heard on it, but I don't see any possible way to experience that in headphones or even a consumer level multi-speaker setup with a few HomePods, Alexas, etc.
Maybe a Sonos system can sound good but the reality of more than a very small percentage of music listeners setting up a Sonos Atmos listening system in their home/apartment seems unlikely.
Most of the stuff I've heard in Atmos on AirPods Pro & Max doesn't sound that great or something I need to hear again. Usually when I found an Atmos mix to sound "pretty good", it's because it's an older album from the 60s or 70s that really needed to be remixed anyway so it's not so much the Atmos that makes it sound better than I remember, it's just the fact that it was mixed better in general with better tools, and some RX probably.
I checked out the Weezer Blue Album Atmos mix and in some ways it sounds better because the bass guitar has a whole new bottom octave and it sounds fatter but there are some super crazy moment where backing vocals are louder than the lead vocal and way louder than they were on the original mix.
They really need to figure out the playback translation part if they want people to want to listen to and work in it. It's too much of a wildcard as to what it's really going to sound like which kind of goes against the whole "scalable" and "object based rather than channel based" philosophy of it.
Nearly 5 years into regular consumers being able to listen to Atmos and the playback is still unpredictable.
Anyway, there was one major reissue project I remastered that involved the album being remixed so I knew they were going to ask about Atmos mastering for the remixed portion and I kind of wish I could have said yes to that one since it was one of my favorite bands, but my window of time to figure out Atmos came and went before I even had time to explore the Dolby Render in headphones let alone get a proper speaker setup going.
I'm sure there is still plenty of catalog work out there if you really want it but in general, I'm hoping Atmos has peaked.
I'm just absolutely busier than ever working in just stereo and none of my clientele are even asking about Atmos.
I will say that movie trailers in a theatre sound pretty cool in Atmos and I'm sure it can be cool for gaming and audio for video, but it seems like Atmos for most types of music isn't really it.
Classical, Traditional Jazz, Ambient, and few other niche genres may work well for Atmos but nearly all the Pop/Rock stuff I've heard just sounds weird like it has an artificial widening plug-in across the stereo mix and it's all just watered down and boring.

So yeah. Im a pisces and I’ve had a crush on this gemini for a couple years. We know each other IRL but don’t necessarily hang out often, mostly interact online. A couple years ago when we first met we were flirting a lot and I was really interested in her. I know I could’ve asked her out but I wanted to play the slow game and didn’t ask her out right away and then she started dating someone else. Always regretted this a lot! I felt that we have a lot in common as far as hobbies etc and she was always so interesting and easy to talk to. She’s very kind and cool and I just like her whole vibe.
So I recently found out she was single again and I wasn’t going to drop the ball this time! We started messaging again a little bit and after a couple of days I decided to just go for it and asked her on a date. Tried to keep it low pressure but also was direct about it. She opened up a bit and said she was glad I asked but she’s just not ready to date at all after the last breakup but wants to remain friends. Which I totally accepted. I was like ok cool, I think you’re a cool friend and no pressure etc. I accepted the no and left it at that.
But then-she blocked me! Which caught me off guard and has me feeling pretty bad. I feel I was respectful of boundaries and like I said before, we’ve chatted on and off over the years and I was cool to stay just friends or whatever she wanted. So now I feel really bad about the whole interaction even though I also feel I did nothing wrong. I don’t see her IRL super often but sometimes. And I feel it’ll be weird now. I’ve been rejected by plenty of other people I’m still cool with and even still cool with people I dated and it went terrible lol.
I’m not going to do anything here. Obv she doesn’t wanna talk to me lol. But I’m just wondering for you other gems out there. Why do you think she did that? Is she just totally not ready to talk to anyone like that yet? Was I too forward or is she just like repulsed by me? Lol. If that didn’t happen I would’ve happily left her alone and moved on but now I’m really overthinking what went wrong. Not that I expect this to happen, but do you think once she chills out a bit and recovers from the recent breakup I might see her come back around? I kind of hope so. But really not expecting it either.

I know the question has been asked before but I'm hoping for something more specific.
I regular la belle Ange but only on nights where the music is my type (the next month of so is looking a bit meh)
Can anyone recommend other clubs around Edinburgh? (Glasgow too but pref Edinburgh)
I want to try others but don't have a group to go and check them all out personally rn.
I'm not super picky on music type but I like stuff I can dance to so prefer like anything that's not reggae, drum & bass, Taylor swift (I'm sorry I'm so sick of swiftogeddon stuff haha but the odd song is fine).
Dance, pop from 80s, 90s,00s,10s etc is cool. Some rock/emo also is cool. I'm 28/f if you need an idea of me👌

I had my first overnight last night, team is super cool and it seems like a good environment! I finished off three carts and a pallet by myself and I got a bunch of compliments from the team and my boss for doing a great job!! I’m so exhausted but excited to keep working lol

I want to build my next PC after 9 years running on an old GTX960.
I am looking to use the PC mostly for gaming and sometimes for Video editing (80/20)
The price performance of both RTX4070 Super and 7900GRE look good to me (I prefer second because of the 16GB VRAM but tell me if you think first makes more sense)
Now I read already tons of reviews and ranking about all the current CPUs but they are all tested with the best GPU available. Now the 7900GRE or 4070S is much weaker and become the bottleneck while gaming much earlier.
I plan to game mostly on 1440p/60Hz monitor and games like Anno1800 or FarCry6 (the damanding games in my list)
Now I was thinking of getting a CPU with at least 8cores (for the video editing part in Premiere pro H264 with GPU accelerated effects mainly). There I see the 14700(KF) or 7700(X) as options. I wonder if I would benefit from an 5800X3D or 7800X3D in my usecase for gaming.
My favorite would be even the 7700 nonX variant since the powerdraw and included cooler will be very beneficial for an SFF build. But in the end I can always go for better cooling systems. Performance/Value first

Thanks to everyone with helpful comments. I've learned quite a bit and am kicking myself for not having simple security measures in place.
Some were asking for a post-mortem . My tech knowledge is limited (obviously) and not sure how I can give exact details or understand how they got in.
Couple things I noticed that others asked if I had in place.
No 2fa
No restriction on login attempts / cool off time.

It was on the internet and shared with a family member
Super rookie mistakes. The unfortunate part is, I had just replaced a drive a week prior. I had backed everything up on an external drive, swapped the bad drive out, and still had my external plugged in so they got their hands on everything. Including backups. Won't make that mistake again.
I was able to recover most if not all my data, still sorting through it. I used a "pro" version of a data recovery software and after many tries was able to get it all back. Though the file names are "lost file #XXXX" and in the thousands.
So all the new drives in my NAS have been wiped, once with 1s, then with 0s, then formatted and new DSM installed.
One of the drives that they "encrypted" is still around. If anyone wants me to share what the partitions look like, it was definitely much, much different than what the non affected drives looked like. So I wonder if they somehow hid the files within a partition? I don't know. Just guessing.
Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability to help someone else prevent this from happening.
EDIT: If anyone has suggestions on how to reclaim the file name and data, I'm all ears.

Question all of the above, no hate comments towards my disabilities guys. Would appreciate it. I'm 32 "M" turning 33 on June 1st. Never dated, trying to find a girlfriend at the moment. Someone I can "Settle down with" etc. I'm even pretty cool if she leaves. Sorry if this sounds arrogant of me. I have been trying to meet new people. I've been talking to girls lately too. Trying to build up confidence and get "Out of my shell, etc" How do I get girls to stay as friends? I don't want to turn into a "player" because that's not me. I actually have a crush on our mailwoman and shes really nice, we got the same stuff in common, and another girl that works at our vet too. Shes really out going, pretty, etc. Not judgemental, etc. Though I gotta be careful on the mailwoman thing i don't know how legal that is. Sorry. I don't see any "rings" on these women so I am hoping this is a good sign??? But I don't know if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend so I don't know how to properly ask them? Because I'm afraid of rejection. But don't wanna make the mailwomen seem awkward, first mailwomen in all honestly I've ever met that was super down to earth and open minded, etc. I was kinda shocked to be honest. Most mail people who deliver our mail tend to be rude, etc. But never seen one down to earth and pretty, etc. Shes around my age as well.
Question is, how do you tell if they got a boyfriend/girflriend, single, etc? I've been "sheltered" my entire life. Due to my learning disabilities and such. I am trying to fight it and fight my social anxiety and try to meet more women more. I used to have a fear of asking women out because I got bullied by one in school years ago in High School to the point where the school tried to accuse me of "Stalking" etc. You know how it goes. How ever I'm really trying to get over my trauma by asking a girl out. Literally. PLEASE be NICE. I am hoping someone can give me some advice or information on how to ask a girl out in my state with out sounding like a creep. I'm really nice, shy but once you get to know me I'm really talkative. Sorry guys. No hate speech please or comments. I'm really struggling here. :'( In the past 3 weeks I've been talking to women, and getting "Out of my shell" so I guess that's some improvement right??? Please be nice. I'm nervous while writing this post. How do you know if they are interested too? :/ Sorry. My parents really never told me how to date. :'( Don't bad mouth them please. It was for my protection/safety, etc. Thing is I can't drive either. So how would this work out? I live in a small town, so idk. Sorry. :'( Working on getting my license. I don't wanna date these women, but say I got a crush on them if that makes sense. Just showing improvement. Sorry. Need some encouragement here and tips. Apologies. And I know some women do date guys with disabilities. I've seen it before. Sorry.

I started playing FO4 about a month ago. The way some people talk about it like it's some sort of Bethesda atrocity (always comparing it with NV like that game is the second coming of Christ) made me constantly not want to try out the game, especially since I played Starfield before FO4 so I thought that if it gets any worse than that it would be a waste of time. But holy s**t am I having a lot of fun!
I love the world, the exploration, the followers, the radio, all the different weapons and the power armors, the side quests and the lore, the overall wasteland aesthetic and the scrappy looking gear and how the game doesn't take itself too seriously. Settlement building is super addicting and scrounging for junk to scrap and jury rig all sorts of cool mods for my guns is weirdly entertaining too.
I honestly don't know what I expected when I got the game but I didn't think I'd still be here a month later, still not having found Vergil because I just can't stop exploring and doing random things. FO4 gives me that nice feeling I had back in 2011 with Skyrim, exploring new things and finding something at least moderately interesting in every cave and building. I'm really happy I gave it a try!

I went through a boot camp a few years ago and have 2.5 years work experience, and I just got an interview for a front end dev lead at a smaller (rural) company. I don't exactly know what to do from here, and I could use some help.
1) I've never done any leet coding or anything of the sort, like ever. I am pretty sharp with being able to see layers to stuff (I did way more back end work at my old job than front end work), but I'm worried I don't have the catalog of knowledge they want inside my head for an interview. I don't think there's any way they could think I do have all the requirements I do with my resume, but since I did consulting work for the company that actually make the framework they use, I'm afraid they're going to think I must be an expert, when the reality is the stuff I worked on was pretty basic because of how streamlined and pre determined their back-end and UI is. Like I can't tell you how to sort a tree off the top of my head or anything like that, because my brain just doesn't work like that. I have Asperger's and I am terrible at doing things off the top of my head (which is why I didn't do well in college but did well in a boot camp). I just am worried about how to convey to them I'm much better with a computer in front of me than just by myself.
2) They want more experience than I have with their specific stack. Although it's front end and I think front end work is pretty intuitive, I have about 50% of the experience they want. In my three years experience I've already worked on projects using C#/PHP/Swift/Kotlin/React/Angular, almost all of which I had zero experience with when put on the projects. So I'm just really unsure what the expectations will be at another company when my old one seemed to have zero expectations of what I should already know before putting me on a project.
3) At the risk of sounding arrogant I think I would be a good lead for a small group. I am actually not worried about this element of the interview, if only because I just have to be my authentic self and I can't pretend I have experience with it yet. I get most compliments based on how kind and patient I am, I'm a super patient teacher, I'm really good at getting to the roots of problems while de-escalating frustration. I legit read philosophy books on management and education which is the best I can do to prepare, so I feel pretty good about this part.
4) I'm obsessed with architecture and systems. I feel like I've learned a lot about this just for fun but I'm not sure if I know what they want to to know or how to do that.
Based on all this, should I just focus on getting better with my code before the interview? I really think the best thing I can do at this level is show sufficient technical prowess and follow my heart on the more lead/managerial stuff. I love people, I love the company already (what they do is so cool), so I really just want what is best for both of us, even if I get rejected.
Thanks for reading this and thank you for replying if you do. :-)

Hi all, I'm looking for small to midsize cites in or near the Great Lakes region. I currently live in a small, resort beach town in southern, NJ, but I know I don't want to be near the ocean in the future.
Criteria:
* Small to midsize - I know people rave about bigger cities, but they're just too much for me. I lived in Philly for a while and enjoyed it, but I'm not interested in going back to that size of a city. Let's say a maximum around 300K population. I'm willing to bend this for something that has everything else, of course (true of basically every criterium here).
* Proximity to water - Preferably large bodies of water. Significant rivers might do, too--not sure. I like to walk and ruck on the beach or at least on river trails. I've gotten used to being right on the water, but I suppose that's not a strict requirement. I could settle for like a 30-45 drive to the beach.
* Good food - I don't mean good restaurants, though they're a plus, too. I love to cook, so I'd like to be in a place with farmer's markets and decent ethnic grocery stores.
* Live entertainment/art - I love comedy, theater, live music, museums, cool architecture, etc. It doesn't need to be a major touring site or even near one, just as long as there's a good local scene. I'll mention good bookstores and libraries here as well, but I figure that won't be a problem almost anywhere in the size range I'm talking about.
* Access to housing with a yard within range of the city center - I'm a big gardener, so I'd like to be able to eventually buy a house in this area that can have at least a small yard but be somewhat proximate to the city proper. I guess this translates to housing with good growing space within maybe a 30-minute drive, decent parking options, or, better yet, good public transportation.
* Not always cloudy - I don't need to it be warm, but I like to see the sun.
* Youngeat least somewhat diverse population - Where I currently live, nine months of the year the average age is like 60 something, so I think this will be automatic almost anywhere. I'm just looking for somewhere closer to the average of the country.
* Not too far from eastern PA/southern NJ - I've had a lot of family stuff go on in the past five years, so I expect to be needed sometimes--maybe even to facilitate another move away from southern NJ in the future. This is a lower priority, because I understand that what I'm asking for is kind of innately far from family. The closer, the better but far isn't a deal breaker is what I'm saying.
About me, if helpful:
* 28, male, single. I know people talk about smaller metros being harder to find that special someone, but I'm not super interested in dating, so that's not a problem for me.
* Stable employment, good salary, remote worker. I live pretty frugally, so I love that the Great Lakes region generally costs less. I imagine my employer might scale my pay to the region, but I don't mind if it goes down somewhat.
* Somewhat solitary in my hobbies, but I enjoy socializing and love finding and building communities. I've always been able to find a good friend or two wherever I go, and I have lots of friends across the country that I stay in close contact with. I'm not too concerned about being iced out. I know people talk about that phenomenon in some areas of the country. I expect some family will eventually follow me, and I'm very close with my family, so I'll have that at some point, too.
* Weather doesn't bother me besides lack of sunlight, which I mentioned. I've survived horribly muggy summers, pretty harsh mountain winters, and some bad storms/hurricanes. Besides, weather and particularly temperature are going to be changing/unpredictable going forward.
* I love places like State College, PA, Lancaster, PA, and Bethlehem/Allentown, PA but there's just not enough wateaccess to beaches. Maybe that gives you an idea of some city moods that I like, though.
Ideas I've already gathered and will be visiting:
Sheboygan, WI: Seems great. On the smaller end but that's fine. My only concern is that it's very far from family--maybe too far for comfort.
Green Bay, WI: My thoughts are the same as for Sheboygan, but obviously Green Bay is bigger.
Akron, OH: Seems very nice. Possibly the perfect size for me. The main downside from what I see is that I'd likely end up commuting to Cleveland for most of what I want (water, arts, etc.), so maybe I should just live in Cleveland at that point?
Cleveland: A bit bigger but not overly so. Seems to have a lot of what I like, but I know the city has a bad reputation (at least we're not Detroit!), but I'm not sure if that bad reputation is necessarily warranted (for Cleveland or Detroit).
Pittsburgh: I'm vaguely considering Pittsburgh, but I don't know if the rivers would be enough for me. I like the city a lot though.
What recommendations do you have that aren't on my list? Also, are my criteria crazy? Let me know so I can adjust my expectations/search.
Thanks!
edit: added part about younger population

Hey fellow weenie lovers! I have a 4 year old short haired girl who I absolutely adore. The issue is we live in the south and when the heat hits, it’s super intense. I like to walk her about 3 miles daily and in the fall-spring it’s not too tricky, but once that sun comes out it just seems too hot for her. She hates the little paw booties, so that’s not an option, and I bring water for her but she’s not really interested in drinking during walks. I feel like our walks currently revolve around seeking shady areas and hiding from the sun. Aside from evening strolls, do you all have any advice on keeping your doxxies cool on long hot walks?

Sorry it took me so long to reply, lmao. But tysm!! This game looks like a super cool indie and I'm excited to see what it's about!

Has anyone with serious trust issues been able to overcome them? Were you in a relationship? How did you overcome it?
Background: so my trust issues are really deep rooted and come from a family history of cheating, and then being cheated on a couple times by an ex.
Fast forward to last year I (30F) met this guy (32M) we really hit it off, but early on he told me he was dating other people which was commendable and honest, but put me super on edge. Then one day after finally agreeing to go to his place, he didn’t hide a condom well, I saw it and just realized I couldn’t keep dating him unless we were together so I broke things off. He returned a couple weeks later and let me know he was ready to be in a relationship. I was really happy because it is a very special connection and we’ve now been together 1 year.
Then about 4 months into the relationship he went on a one on one trip with a female friend. Although I was anxious about it, I relied on a friend for support because i know there are people who have long standing friendships and this seemed to be one of those. Plus I didn’t want to bring up something that might be totally innocent. I only started to freak out after he told me he couldn’t talk on the phone one day because the girl he was traveling with was asleep. He hadn’t mentioned that they would be sharing rooms throughout the trip. It sent me into a spiral and resulted in a really big argument, but we resolved it. We agreed room sharing wasn’t going to work, but I said I could be flexible when it came to trips with female friends.
Then 4 months after that he met a new coworker who he mentioned was really cool and he’d never met her and how well they get along. They are not on the same team, but later he shared that they often practice languages together at work, and it all just started to feel cutesy. This is all via IM as she lives in another country tho visits US office multiple times a year. Anyway, my anxiety was on 100 and I was being really closed off to any mention of her. Eventually I brought it up and it led to another big argument which went on and off for a couple weeks. He eventually validated that he understood what it felt that way though made no promises to not practice languages. I actually ended up meet this coworker recently. She’s very nice. We get along well. But I just learned that they follow eachother on socials. And my trust issues are so bad this just feels like another thing I need to grapple with. Not to mention she’s his type and they do have a lot In common.
Now, he’s on a solo trip- he’s the adventuring type- and my anxiety is flaring. He met a group out where he is visiting and I don’t know the make up of this group, but I just know sometimes things happen. Especially when drinking is involved. And they were out at bars. My anxiety was terrible and I brought it up to him and he just sounded exhausted. Like tired of talking about the issue, totally valid, tired of me not being able to trust him totally valid. He just really dosent get why these things make me anxious and has mentioned it’s definitely an issue I need to work on.
I’m in therapy and am trying to work on these things. I feel like my partner is getting tired at my instances of anxiety and mistrust, which is understandable. I’m starting to feel like this relationship is doomed and on one level I see how my anxiety is draining and on the other I feel like he has no sympathy or understanding of where I’m coming from.
Has anyone with trust issues overcome the issues while in a relationship? Any tips would help.
TLDR: I have bad trust issues, and am in therapy, but I think it’s taking a tole on my relationship. Has anyone with trust issues overcome them while partnered?

Edd "Alright, let's just get this over with. We break into the safe, grab the cash, and get out. Simple enough."
Tom (Cocky) "Piece of cake, guys. We're professional criminals now."
Matt (Excitedly) "We're going to be rich!"
(The friends approach the safe and begin trying to open it.)
Edd Uh, does anyone remember the code?
Tom Not me!
Edd Matt?
(Camera pans to Matt admiring a picture of himself)
Matt I thought I lost you forever baby (Matt says as kissing it)
Edd
Tom(drunk) My idea is to blow up an orphanage!
Edd How do you get drunk off of Smirnoff in 4 seconds!?
Tom(drunk) Idk ask the unicorn in the sky!
Edd (Sigh) I'm going home.
As Edd turns to leave, Tom comes to his senses.
Tom "Guys, hang on. What if we try a brute force attack? Like, really give it a good ol' college try?"
Edd (Sarcastically) “Oh yes, because that's so much better than blowing up an orphanage.”
Tom (Ignoring the comment) “Just hear me out. We all know that safes have a maximum number of combination attempts before they lock us out. So, what if we just brute force it?”Edd But what brute force would... (Edd's eyes spark up with an idea, and a devious smile form's on his face)
Tom So... what's the idea?
Edd (Raises his eyebrows)
Tom I don't speak eyebrows?
Matt (Raises eyebrows)
Tom What!?
Edd (Overlapping Matt) THROW TOM!
Matt (Overlapping Edd) THROW TOM!
Tom Did I ever tell yall I HATE ALL OF YOU!As Matt and Edd start shoving Tom towards the safe, he starts resisting and shouting obscenities at them.
Tom (Yelling) "What the hell is wrong with you guys?! I'm not a goddamn battering ram!"
Matt (Laughing) "Oh come on, it'll be fine! What's the worst that could happen?"
Edd (Shoving Tom) "Just go with it, Tom. You'll thank us later."
Tom (Reluctantly) "Fine, but if I break anything, I'm suing you two.”(Edd and Matt lift Tom over their head and chuck him head first into the safe making a extremely loud smash)
Edd See Tom, that wasn't so bad!
Tom I think broke one of my hair bones
Matt Is it open?
Edd Nope. It's dented tho!Edd Still dented.
Matt Again-
(The gang hear police sirens)
Matt OH NO I'M TOO PRETTY TO GO TO JAIL!
(The police pull up and get out of the cop car with gun)
Cop 1 PUT YOUR HANDS UP!
(The entire gang puts their hands up with a ton of Matt's pictures falling out of his clothes)
(The police officers look confused as they witness the sight in front of them.*)
Officer 1 (Perplexed) “What the hell happened here?”
Matt (Innocently) “We were just trying to break into a safe. No big deal.” Act 1 Scene 4 Int. Cop Car - Midnight
Tom (Drowsy) “Why do my eyelids feel like heavy rocks…?”
Matt (Looking confused) “Hey, does anyone else smell pickles?”
Edd (Snickering) I knew I shouldn't have put on pickle deodorant!
Cop 1 (Driving) “Quiet, back there!”
Edd (Mumbling) Sorry Angry Mcgee!
Matt (Whisper) Pss, Edd!
Edd What?
Matt Get this! (Quickly throws a picture to Edd with his mouth)
Edd What is- Holy S**t I thought I lost this forever!
Camera pans down to show Edd, Matt, and Tom when they first moved in, including a old friend named Tord)*As the camera pans down to the picture, we see a glimpse of a time long ago. Three friends – Edd, Matt, and Tom – are laughing and smiling, with a fourth boy, Tord, standing beside them. They're holding balloons and standing in front of a house they recently moved into. Act 1 Scene 5
(Transition to) Jail - Cell - Midnight
Edd TOM! I'M DYING HELP ME!
Edd is dramatically lying on his back, holding an empty Cola can, pretending to have a heart attack. Meanwhile, Tom is sitting on a bunk bed and rolls his eyes.
Tom (Sarcastically) “Oh, yes, because your Cola addiction is definitely the biggest concern here. Not us being thrown in jail overnight.”
Edd OH WOE IS ME!
Edd writhes around on the bed in despair, while Tom just sits there, clearly agitated by Edd's melodrama.
Tom "Edd, you've been going on about your cola running out for hours now. Can you give it a rest, please?"
Edd (Frantically) "You don't understand, Tom! My cola was my life! How am I supposed to survive here without it?"
Tom (Tired) "Perhaps you should try sleeping or something?”Matt Uh, guys why is there a dude in helicopter trying to shoot us with a bazooka?
Edd (Sarcastically) Well thats just great.
(The group is flung back as the cell window is blasted open)
The man with the bazooka comes through the smoke.
Paul Hello, uh sorry I don't know your names. The Red Leader only refers people as code names.
Tom The Red who?
Matt My name is the beautiful Matt-
Edd covers Matt's mouth
Edd Don't tell him your name idiot!
Paul My name is Paul.
Camera Pans to Matt
Matt Why are your eyebrows 20 feet tall?
Camera Pans back to Paul
Paul They aren't even that big are you blind!?
Camera Pans back to Matt
Matt suddenly wearing blind glasses
Matt Yes
Patryk Hi my name is Patryk-
Paul PATRYK YOUR FLYING THE HELICOPTER!
Patryk Oh.
We hear a Helicopter explosion from outside. Paul and Patryk look down from the exposed cell wall, showing the burning half-destroyed Helicopter.
Patryk Don't worry I'll fix those scratches!
Paul Whatever.
Edd So, are you here to save us?
Paul Nah, we're gonna capture you!
Edd Aw, Bugger
Paul pulls out a "Super cool taser gun" as the label on the taser gun says.
Tom Lame.
(Tom is shocked and knocked out by the taser gun)
(The group watches in shock as Tom goes down from the taser-gun.)
Matt (Panicking) "Oh no, Tom! Edd, do something!!"
Edd (In shock) "What can I do? There's two nut jobs with a taser gun and an assault rifle who are trying to capture us!"
Paul (Casually) "Don't worry, if you don't resist, you'll be safe. The Red Leader just wants you guys for a special project.”
Edd Whatever.
Edd blacks out
(Cut to) Helicopter - Backseat - Morning
Edd wakes up
Edd (Distraught) Ow my head hurts!
Tom (Confused) What happened?
Edd (Deep Voice) Hey Babe.
Tom (Angry) Wtf Edd!
Matt is making muffled sounds because of a mask on his face that says "Beware ugly fish monster behind mask." Edd takes the mask off of Matt.
Edd (Disturbed) EW, the mask was right!
Matt (Angry) Hey!
Paul So you finally woke up!
Matt Uh, yeah
Edd This reminds me of when I flew a Helicopter when I was in the Uk Army!
Paul (Confused) You were in the army!?
Matt We all were can't you tell just by looking at us!
Camera pans to show all of the three boys looking exaggeratedly more stupid than usual.
Paul No.
The three friends look at each other in annoyance, feeling belittled by Paul's remark. Tom speaks up.
Tom (Sarcastically) "Oh wow, thanks for the compliment. Nice to know we look like a bunch of army rejects."
Matt (Defensively) "Excuse me, we are actually highly trained and intelligent individuals... in our own special way.”
Tom (Sarcastically) At least two of us are!
Tom and Edd high-five. Matt not realizing that they are inferring that he's the stupid one, keeps a smile on his face
Edd (Amused) Wait didn't your Helicopter crash like a few hours ago?
Patryk (Proudly) This is my 857th Helicopter!
Edd's Amused face goes to worried.
Edd (Unsettled) “Oh boy, this is going to be one bumpy ride…”
Edd At least we're away from the HELI-COP-TER
Everyone looks at Edd because of the horrible pun.
Tom So, where are we going?
Paul To the "SUPER EVIL EDGY VILLAINOUS BASE!"
The camera zooms out of the Helicopter to show that the place is actually called "SUPER EVIL EDGY VILLAINOUS BASE!"
Edd Well that's just silly.

Hello I am currently looking to buy a nvidia gpu, as of right now for the same price (600 euros) I have the choice between picking a gainward 4070 super ghost or a decent 4070 custom brand, I was wondering what choice you guys would have made, going straight for performance or better cooling/noise quality?
Thanks in advance

ive felt dead inside for alot of my childhood as a coping mechanism for the severe bullying and trauma i endured. but recently ive come into a social circle that is very loving and accepting of all kinds of people, especially lgbt.
after a while i started to feel nervous, afraid, and overwhelming sadness. i started to cry often. the emotions ive felt for the crushes ive had in my life have always been bad. And it feels like that now. but ive realized i think that its because im scared shitless. Scared shitless to be happy. for fear of abandonment, and dissapointment which has been a pattern in my entire life.
im feeling things that ive confused with romantic feelings. Which might be me opening up emotionally. And my body is processing the stored trauma or feelings that is making me cry because the world CAN be a good place to live in, there does exist cool people who can care about you on a deeper level then im used to.
the ingrained normalcy of a dysfunctional emotional regulations and mental health is perhaps starting to erode and light come through in a metaphoical sense? and im scared shitless to allow myself to open up.
ive been burned and abandoned, and humilated by alot of people ive tried to open up to and make a connection to, either romantically or platonically and it hurts so much. it hurts so much to think that i might be capable of being loved. even now as im writing this im getting super emotional.
can anyone relate to this? or maybe even give their own feed back which would be appreciated. thank you for reading, you all deserve to be loved and respected.
