Before I go on, I have to confess, I feel embarassed for posting this. It feels like I'm weird for not having anyone to call friends, but it's the truth.
Never really had a friend group, due to being overly sheltered and socially anxious growing up (yeah, even up to my mid-20s) but I did my best to fix my life. It's gotten much better now, but it would be even better with a safe group of people I can grow and learn with.
Strictly SFW. I already have a partner, and we are very, very happy and content with our bond. She has tried to introduce me to some of her friends, but their bonds are already strong (many inside jokes and old stories I can't relate to, etc.) and I would like to have my own circle for independence and so I can also have people to introduce to her. Yes, she knows my situation and she's tried to help! I just also want to help myself :)
If nothing else, at least it's a good way to practice social skills :) I'm not too proud to admit I need the practice.
About me: - Introverted, but will do my best to contribute to the conversation - Interested in many things, but I will admit I know next to nothing about sports. Happy to be educated tho! Always wanted to learn more about soccer. - Relatively fit, but not a gym-goer (work outs at home) - Not much time to play anymore, but I game sometimes - Nagtatagalog rin naman po ako haha :) - A member of the alphabet mafia (LGBT+) so if this offends you, just scroll away - Working, but would rather the conversation not just be about our jobs / professional lives - I have a dog, but also enjoy cats
About you: - Around late 20s to early 30s, as I think we'd have more in common - Honest about your intentions (SFW only please!) - Willing to have an actual conversation (not just random hi's or hello's) - Just be a decent person, I guess?
We can chat on Discord first, then if we jive, we can grab a chill coffee, snack or a drink within the QC, Manda, or BGC area.
Thanks for reading! I hope you have a great day ahead.

Introduction

Meme Coin $GME pays homage to the return of the legend - Roaring Kitty and the entire GameStop saga, showing that we can stand together against the big guys.

Story

GameStop is an international chain of video game stores that is going through tough times. Low profitability and uncertain future prospects (who would even go to the store for something that can easily be downloaded from Steam?) have led to the company's stock falling from $55 in 2013 to $4 by mid-2020.
Several major hedge funds were convinced that the decline in GameStop's stock prices would continue: as the professionals say, they "shorted" these stocks for a large sum.
However, in January 2021, the stock suddenly surged—especially on January 26-27, when prices reached $360 (a 20-fold increase compared to January 1!). It turned out that the coordinated actions of armchair investors from the Reddit community WallStreetBets were behind the sudden surge in GameStop's stock. Leading the attack on the stock market was an anonymous financial guru using the nickname Roaring Kitty, who shares investment advice with over 1 million followers on Twitter and YouTube.
As a result, Roaring Kitty's bet on the rise of GameStop's stocks helped him turn $56,000 into $16,000,000 (a fantastic profit of over 28,500%!), while hedge funds with smart guys in expensive suits lost billions of dollars (which nearly led to the bankruptcy of one of them).

Conclusion

The $GME Meme Coin is more than just a token; it's a movement. Join us as we continue to challenge the status quo and create a legacy that pays homage to the iconic GameStop saga and the legendary Roaring Kitty.

I wasn't able to post this on spectrum for some reason so I'm sending it here! (Might be too long?) Maybe someone sees it, maybe not? But at-least I've posted my thoughts :)
Since SC is moving into a phase where more focus is going to actual gameplay loops, I think now's the time to give ideas and feedback on what directions this should take. I've had a growing concern the last 2 years or so that the type of gameplay that CIG is moving towards won't hold up in the long run. We can have the most advanced game ever, but if the essential game loops consist of "fly to marker X, shoot or deliver something, fly to next marker" this game simply will not be enjoyable in the long run for most players.
Instead I think CIG should focus on what makes their game great, the sandbox experience! How many of us have jumped into the PTU only to spend hours experimenting with what ship fits in what, or how we can use different systems in unexpected ways?
So here's my open letter with ideas from a long time backer!

Quantum jumps

QT jumps should have the potential to be dangerous, and possibly even damage your ship, but once a jump is performed it leaves behind a trace that others can use to easier calculate a safe jump. The more people that use the same QT point, the safer it gets.
There should also be specific areas that can boost QT jumps in different ways (or make them more dangerous).

Bounty hunters

Since QT jumps leave traces, these could be scanned for ship ID codes, satellites could also help players pinpoint where a specific ship ID has been and how often they've been there. This would be used to find locations that the target is at often as if playing hot or cold. When in a "warm area" with lots of trace of the target, the hunter could then land and visit different locations and talk to NPCs for the last bit.

Exploration

Explorers could help out scanning for interesting locations in space, and good QT spots, but the most important part of this to make it fun for everyone would be procedural generation. Exploration simply won't be as fun if you can only find shipwrecks or prebuilt places.
So this is a big one, but the only true solution I see here would be procedurally generated systems. Random wormholes could show up that leads to random generated systems (these would of course not have the same fidelity as built ones, but wouldn't need cities or NPCs for the most parts).
When exploring such a system there could be a time limit until the wormhole closes again, or you could spend resources to stabilize it, you would also have to rely on crafting to actually survive in systems with potential dangers such as solar storms (that might force you to land in the safety of an atmosphere) or weather systems.

Pirates

With the more defined QT lanes, pirates would have an easier time finding common travel routes for merchants where they could get a location to sit and wait for victims. But the larger lanes would have more security, and the best merchants would use more secret lanes with QT boosts that pirates would also want to find.
Players would want to keep these secret as if more people know about these lanes, more merchants/pirates would flock there and its value would decrease.

Merchants

Much like pirates it would be a game of constantly finding new stable QT lanes that are safe and quick, the QT boosts could be temporary (lets say that an area gives a boost for maybe a week or so), and after they expire a new one would have to be found.

Mercenaries

The QT lanes would also help here, and scanning ships for ID codes that can be marked as stolen. Traveling these lanes and getting interdicted would also simply give them free targets to shoot down, and more danger for pirates hanging out at the same place.

Mechanics

Apply the same systems that ships are getting to landing zones, a mechanic could start working for a company in their distribution centers, fixing them after battles and restoring things that intruders have broken (like if an intruder has turned off the lights, or locked down a door). If you don't have markers and specific quests other than "fix the light", a good mechanic would have to have some knowledge about a certain locations systems, while a novice mechanic could do simpler tasks or work as an apprentice where someone says what to do (and gives markers to the player, a sort of "hey you! Go here and replace this thing so the lights start working").
A mechanic with lots of experience would get offered jobs at larger locations and eventually cities or maybe navy NPC ships in dry dock. They would also be able to do it alone without NPC assistance for more money.

Guilds and factions

The factions could sell some or all of the above data that their members hand in for rewards (another explorer loop) and the better the data, only the higher members would have access to it.

Radio stations

LOTS of streamers love SC, why not give them an in-game platform? (and something to do during QT for everyone else). Imagine the radio stations of GTA but live with people broadcasting things in game.
A gameplay loop would be to build broadcast towers in each system (on land you have to acquire) and maintaining them. We already have technology to send video streams during calls in game, why not let the reliant mako some purpose in game?
You could broadcast races, or just host a news show about the lore stuff.

Ship systems

These are in a really good state already, but try not to create a game loop with the systems you have, simply make them work together and see what players do with them.
If fire depends on oxygen and invaders jump onboard, let us increase the oxygen in one room for a fun explosion when they fire weapons for instance, or increase pressures to dangerous amounts for anyone without a helmet!

Animals

Some people have already lured animals onto their ships, so give us cages (simple boxes with doors we can open and close) and some form of lures like food?
These could be used simply to trap and keep creatures, or to drop the cages into enemy camps and remote unlock them! (could also be used to trap other players and NPCs?).

No-fly zones and anti pad rammers

Give us a max speed limit in some areas, this would help beginners that are landing as they have to take it slow, and pad ramming etc. would be harder as turrets could shoot down players a lot easier.
This could be done via mastermodes or some sort of "tractor beam field" thing that slows items in its area (would not exist at all stations).

Crashed ships

This is already being worked on, this is just a reminder of how great of a feature this would be, and that it should not be forgotten!
The idea that ships shot down in orbit crash to the surface and generate crash sites that in time can become dwellings is just incredible for sandbox type gameplay.
The idea is simply give us fun tools, that aren't 100% designed for only one profession or use case, but things that we can experiment with. A lot of these stated above have been described for only one profession, but like the mechanic role above, a good pirate would know how to turn off certain systems or hack into things to download maps and schematics that the mechanic also uses in day to day work (or maybe even simply kidnap a poor mechanic that already has insider info?).
And please move away from nav markers as much as possible!
Those are my thoughts, hope someone reads this and adds some ideas of their own!

I hope I don't sound like an asshole here. I've got a neighbor next to me who's kind of a weird guy with an even more bizarre girlfriend (she has lots of strange side businesses, but seems to end up sued in the end after she cuts and runs). He lost his job in Feb/March.
Anyway, since moving in, they've never touched their lawn, and after the drought we had last year, the entire yard wound up dying. Anything that was left, was killed by the leaves he never raked in the fall. A lot of that is likely due to the neighbors prior who planted grass that had to be watered constantly and was maintained by a lawn service, so the yard was weak to begin with. Now nature is taking it back and weeds are growing in its place. Big ones. Which is attracting some new animals. We had a big storm come through, they lost a lot of branches, so we cleaned them up because they were blocking the sidewalk. That was when we realized we haven't seen them in a while.
They normally use their garage for cars, but for the last 2-3 weeks (maybe more?) their car has been in their driveway and the same package sits on their porch. I don't know if they've just abandoned the house and left? I'm worried because of the cut-and-run shady business history that the same thing is happening to the house and it's going to attract criminals or squatters. Something similar happened to a house at the end of the street a few years ago and it turned into a drug den.
I would file a city ordinance report, but they'll just send a letter. Which the neighbors won't receive, because they're gone. I think.
If they're not gone, then I'm very concerned whoever is in the house is dead. The car in the driveway has me a little nervous, I find it odd that they would leave behind a Mercedes. He sold his truck, the only other vehicle was a muscle car that they either took or is still sitting in the garage.
Do I call the police and have them do a welfare check?

It’s finally time for this truly crazy season to come to an end. 46 has been such a journey, starting out with one of the worst pre-merges of all time, a bit of a boring early merge, then suddenly building momentum like crazy and delivering a great 5-episode run. I’ve enjoyed this season, and it’s currently ranked 3rd out of the new-era seasons for me, under 45 and 42. Anyway, time for the final predictions.
🦎5th Place: Maria. 🦎
Through out the new era, a pattern has emerged with its fifth placers: players who, on the island, are big threats, likely to win if they get to the end, and are shown to be solid strategic players, but with edits that are smaller than they should be, given their perceived win equity on the island; players like Lindsey (42) Lauren (44) and Julie (45), Maria fits in that lineup perfectly.
After her blindside of Charlie failed, she’s left with no allies and is the biggest target by far. I think Maria is going to go out unanimously. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to keep her.
🦎4th Place (Fire Making Loser.) : Ben. 🦎
Ben is going to lose to Kenzie in fire. I’ve been predicting this for awhile, and while I’m no longer as certain of this happening as I used to be, to me, it still seems like what the season has been building up to for a while now.
Kenzie and Ben both got fire making content extremely earlier in the season and has colored how I’ve seen their relationship all season; Kenzie will no longer be the comforter but will be the competitor; taking out one of her closest relationships of the season and sending a strong supporter to the jury. I see this has her finally showing off a “killer instinct” or something along those lines. Ben will be the winning vote for Kenzie in an incredibly close final tribal council.
Oops. I’ve spent Ben’s section talking about Kenzie. Ben is a supporting character in the story of Kenzie’s win. And no, I don’t think he’ll break any sort of tie.
🦎3rd Place: Liz.🦎
Liz lands here by default. I’m leaning towards Charlie winning the final immunity challenge, and sending Ben and Kenzie to fire with the main goal of getting Kenzie out. We saw in episode 12 that Liz is horrible at fire, so I think Charlie won’t pick her; also, she’s just an easy person to beat at the end.
I don't think Liz is well liked or respected by the majority Nami jury–who I’m guessing will be bitter at her for whatever reason–and will be seen as a goat. Which I don't think is really fair; Liz has played an okay game, but against Charlie and Kenzie, she won't get a single vote.
Liz has been a great character and is responsible for the most iconic moment of the season. IM PISSED that Liz has been overlooked by the editors. I’m hoping she has a good finale.
🦎Second Place: Charlie.🦎
The strategic figure head of the season, top-ten new-era player, and Swiftie, Charlie, is going to get second place. It’s really hard to have Charlie at second; I’d love to see him win; he truly deserves it; and on any other new-era season, I think he does win, but just not this one.
The only reason I think Charlie doesn’t win is purely from reading the edit.

1. His social game isn’t as prevalent in his edit, which leans way more toward the strategic. When considering Kenzie's edit, that’s really bad, as it gives Kenzie a clear reason why she wins over Charlie—that being her better social game.
   
2. A few weeks ago, Charlie talked about not wanting to be seen as “one of the bad people,” which makes me think that the jury might be bitter.
   
3. After such a visibly dominant winner like Dee, Charlie and Maria’s complete control of the game wasn’t shown off to the extent it could have been.
   
4. Kenzie has one of the strongest edits of the new-era.
   

That being said, I don’t think Charlie’s edit is as bad as people are making it seem; sure, I don’t think it’s as strong as Kenzie’s from a story arc or personal content perspective, but I don’t think we’ve really been shown explicitly why Charlie loses. My main line of thinking is that the jury is going to be bitter, or that Charlie’s final tribal speech doesn’t do his game justice. The final tribal council will be a battle between the strategically dominant Charlie and the social butterfly Kenzie. It’ll be a close vote. this is the highest I’ve ever been on a Charlie win happening. I don’t think it’s impossible as others do, but Kenzie’s edit is just too strong for me to really consider anything else.
🦎The Winner Of Survivor 46: Kenzie.🦎
As predictable as it is, Kenzie seems to be locked in for a win. Kenzie has one of the strongest new-era edits and one of the strongest edits for a woman ever. Kenzie has been consistently visible throughout the entirety of the season. Her pre-merge did an excellent job of setting her up as a strong social player. We were consistently shown her reads on players and situations and her reactions to the game. Come the merge, we got more of the same, which was odd considering Kenzies lack of importance to the merge game over all. She’s been playing, no doubt, but to have as many confessionals as Charlie and more than Maria doesn’t exactly make sense, unless she wins. From the start, Kenzie has been a strong narrator.
We also get a strong view of Kenzie’s relationships. We know how she feels about the majority of the players on the jury. Which strengthens her social player storyline.
We know that: She was close to Hunter, and after Tevin was blindsided, she became his number one. She was extremely close to Tiffany all season. They were arguably the second-strongest duo of the season. She had a developing relationship with Venus, and they were growing close up until her eventual blindside. She was done with Q after his antics and all the drama he brought, but they did have a working relationship on Yanu.
Speaking of Yanu, the majority of the Yanu comeback content was framed from Kenzie's perspective. She got that really strong opening in episode two about staying strong and making it to the end.
Overall, Kenzie is the total package. She’s got the storyline, the narration, the social game, a jury full of friends, the backstory package, a challenge win, an episode dedicated to erasing her negativity (episode 7), she’s never had a zero confessional episode, and most importantly, the edit to back it all up!!!
The reign of the mermaid dragon is here! 🧜🏻‍♀️🐉

Tldr: plants aren't growing roots and just get squishy/rotten
Hi I'm new to the aquarium life, have only had my tank for 3-4 months. It's been a game of "diagnose problem and find a fix" pretty non stop as I've been learning.
My current problem is my larger plants. They just aren't growing any roots. My monte carlo (carpet up front) and anubius (in a hole in the driftwood) are both rooting with new growth but all my background plants, most recently rotala wallichii, don't root and then go squishy and float to the top.
About my tank: it is 28 litres, sponge filter with an aqua soil base, a good sized driftwood and chunk of lava rock. For lighting I have a Chihiros A series 45cm on between 12pm and 8pm. I have 3 corydora with one laying eggs every week or two after a water change, 7 Neon Tetra with 2 females recently laid eggs, an assortment of cherry shrimp happily breeding, 1 mystery snail, a bladdepond snail and a ramshorn snail. My ph sits a tad low (6-6.4) but working on fixing that my ammonia and nitrite are both 0ppm and my nitrate just before a water change sits at about 20ppm. I used liquid carbon as I don't have room for a CO2 setup and I have a liquid fertiliser both are given in small doses every 2 days to prevent to much fluctuation.

Below some suggestions I found from ChatGpt based on business interest.

1. Street Food Stall: Set up a small stall selling popular street food items such as fuchka (pani puri), chotpoti, or samosas. You can start with a limited menu and gradually expand as you earn more.
2. Homemade Snacks: Prepare and sell homemade snacks such as nimki, singara, or jilapi. You can sell these to local shops, or directly to consumers in your neighborhood or at local markets.
3. Handmade Crafts: Create and sell handmade crafts like jewelry, keychains, or small decorative items. Materials can be sourced cheaply, and you can sell these items online through social media or at local markets.
4. Mobile Phone Accessories: Buy a small stock of inexpensive mobile phone accessories like covers, screen protectors, or chargers. Sell these in a busy market area or through an online platform.
5. Second-hand Books: Buy used books at a low price and sell them individually at a markup. You can start by sourcing books from friends, family, or local thrift shops.
6. Gardening Services: Offer basic gardening services such as planting, weeding, and maintaining small gardens in your local community. You can start with basic tools and expand as you gain more clients.
7. Personalized Gifts: Create personalized gifts like custom mugs, photo frames, or printed T-shirts. Use the initial investment to buy the necessary materials and market your services through social media.
8. Freelance Services: If you have skills in areas like writing, graphic design, or tutoring, offer your services online. Platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or local Facebook groups can help you find clients.
9. Reselling: Purchase items in bulk from wholesalers and sell them individually at a higher price. This can include anything from household goods to small electronics, depending on what you can source within your budget.
10. Plant Nursery: Start a small plant nursery by buying seeds and pots, and growing plants to sell. This could include decorative plants, herbs, or small vegetable plants.

If James played the games himself and gave his reactions, the show would have that authentic feel, like it used to. I understand that as a business grows, sometimes you need to delegate things (like Mike playing the games). But playing the games is one part that I think James needs to do himself for authenticity. I mean, that Nerd anger in the older episodes felt so real and genuine.

Hey everyone, I've just returned home from the player sponsor trivia night as representative for our adopted child, Josh Weddle. Apologies in advance as I had no idea what to expect, the comms seemed to indicate there was limited contact but the players literally sat and ate with us the whole time. Otherwise I would've banked up some questions from you all, although I did my best to ask about all sorts of things.
As for how the night went down, I literally had no idea what to expect. Walking into Glenferrie Hotel, we took our name tags and walked to our table only to walk in on virtually the whole team hanging around. The staff had us leave that area for a little bit whilst they got prepared, and whilst enjoying a nice frothie, in walks Sic, Hardwick and Watson. We gave each other the nod as they entered.
When we were allowed to go to our table, we took our seats, when a voice from behind asked us: "how are you guys going tonight?" by none other than Luke Breust. We had a good chat for 15 minutes, I congratulated him on his newborn and he told me about how he was finding fatherhood (all going great). Another person from the table started speaking to Breusty, but that's when our lord and saviour and adopted child Josh Weddle arrived. First things first, Josh Weddle is an absolute legend and we couldn't have had a more perfect player to sponsor. He was super genuine and actively engaged in conversation with the table the whole time.
I let him know how much we at /hawktalk love him and are impressed by him. I also told him he's never allowed to leave the hawks and that I'll glue him to Dingley if I have to. Weddle gave off some great vibes about how much he enjoys being at Hawthorn, so I don't think we have anything to worry about there. I also learned an interesting fact that he was originally a North supporter growing up, which shocked me as I had read he was always Hawks. He said he saw the Hawks link reported on, but wasn't sure where that came from haha.
We spoke about our heartbreaking loss, and I framed a question around whether we planned to go defensive like we did, or whether the game just went that way for us. He couldn't say much, but indicated that the team felt comfortable with the lead and just happened to fall into a defensive mindset. He also didn't appreciate the tag he received for 3 quarters haha. He also was really keen on the fact we were only a couple of wins away from the top 8. I told him I thought we played fantastic regardless of the result, and that at least this happened in a bit of a nothing H&A game rather than say a 3 point win in a prelim leading to a grand final cough cough 2014 ;) we still have that over them hahahah
We also spoke about his interests, hobbies, etc.
I was able to have another chat with Breusty, I spoke with him about his future post-AFL life and how clubs work with players to prepare them for post-AFL life.
Half way in, none other than our senior coach Sammy Mitchell made an appearance and came by every table to have a quick chat. Unfortunately I only was able to have a quick handshake and told him I love what he's done for the team. Was hoping to catch him again before he left, but sadly missed him.
Over the night I got to have quick chats with Nick Watson (told him I loved his energy on field), CJ (told him I missed him and glad he's back in the side, also to get his brother traded to us lol), Sam Frost (spoke a bit about the upcoming Brissie game and how great he's been, said he can probably leave Daniher on his own since Joe will probs kick it on the full anyway which he had a laugh about), Ethan Phillips (told him he had an awesome debut), James Blanck (told him he's going to have to fight Phillips now haha), DGB (said he sounds like he has a wrestler name, which he said he gets the same comments from the team lol), Sic (wouldn't confirm about his shoulder :( was hoping to get the inside scoop there haha reckon he got asked by everyone in the bar haha also told him to smash Charlie Cameron for us, he had a good laugh and said that'll likely be Hardwick's job haha), Cam McKenzie (told him he's been excellent), Bailey McKenzie (unfortunately only had a quick hello and hand shake), Impey (told him he's been great and I hope we get the win for him as captain), Gunner (god love him, said glad he's back at the hawks).
Finally, got to have a photo with Weddle and a whole bunch of signatures on a #23 guernsey.
All in all I had an absolute ripper night, had great interactions with majority of the team. Breust and Weddle were amazing, I wish I could've had more time with them since they were so down to earth and happy to chat. I highly recommend for anyone who thought about going, to get involved next time.
Anyone with any questions, I talked a lot that I can't fully capture in this post without writing a novel. So feel free to ask and I'll answer what I can :)

Im burnt out from living and obligations. For as long as i can remember ive been depressed and i have genuinely tried to do better. Nothing has worked for long. Years ago i had a relationship and it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Problem was that our misery about life and growing up catalyzed a downfall. Its been a couple years and we’ve since made amends and admitted we still love each other. But shes moving very far away and i cant go with her because my obligations where i live now. My father is dying. My dreams are dying. My spare time is constantly occupied by people asking me to do things or work. Whenever i have time to work at making my dream come true, my family sees it as me not being busy or doing nothing. I genuinely never ask for much. I rarely ask for help and when i do its typically only for a few minutes. 90% of the things im asked to do take hours. Theres no respect for my time and my time is treated as fair game constantly. If i cant move out soon i dont know how i could ever have happiness. There has to be more to everything than this. Theres gotta be a time where i can enjoy myself and have at least half of what i want right?

I've been playing this game for about a month now after just getting wrecked in the demo when it first came out. It's legitimately one of my favorite games, and my first Soulslike. I really love it, and LOVE the reinterpretations of the Pinnochio story. None of it feels force, and the expansions on the story are great. Even the way they handled the nose growing, just....lovely, gold stars all around.
That being said, it took me an EMBARRASSING amount of time to realize that Sophia was the blue fairy stand in. Like...a STUPID amount of time. The exact moment what in the open Swamp area with the two Puppets of the Future and like 5 or 6 butterflies. I got all the butterflies collected and thought "I wonder when the blue fairy is going to show....oh shit...duh."
That's all, just embarrassing myself a bit.

Hey all looking to meet new people. Today is my last day of vacation, I'd be more than happy to tell you about it. I live on the East Coast of the USA. A bit about me:
Working out: I use to be a personal trainer when I was in college. Have a home gym with cardio and weights. Enjoy playing soccer too.
Cooking: I enjoy cooking and trying new foods. I tend to stick to Italian and seafood but enjoy learning new recipes if you want to share!!
Gardening: I enjoy growing my own veggies. Also maintaining trees and flower beds. Attempted some winter veggies but it isnt going well.
Playing guitar: I like tend to listen to and play rock, classic rock, 90s alt and 00s pop punk. I enjoy some pop too. I have electric and acoustic. I'm not great at playing but enjoy doing it.
Traveling: Have been to a few European countries and all over the US. Am planning a few trips now. Would.love to hear about your country or travel Recs!
My dog: He is a big boy, am willing to share pics to pay the dog tax!
Current shows: Succession, Fallout, Blacklist, AHS, just finished Game of Thrones, to name a few that I'm currently watching/recently finished.i also enjoy documentaries. If you have any show suggestions I'd live to hear them!
