[NOT SURE IF THIS COUNTS AS REVENGE…BUT I FIGURED IT IS CLOSE ENOUGH]
I am a member of a club. What we do is irrelevant to this story.
What is relevant is that one to four times a year we have a large get together, during which we usually partake in some fun activities.
We have been to amusement parks, played minigolf, had barbecues and similar.
During these events, many of us have expenses which we can get reimbursed by the club. To streamline the process, we decided long ago that everyone would send their invoices to the person in charge of reimbursements, who would then make a payout at the end of the next month.
For the past 2 years, a young girl (21) named Nina was in charge of this task and we never had a complaint. She wasn’t a club member, but did the job as a favour to her brother (who is a club member).
And if it hadn’t been for Daniel, Nina might still be with us. Daniel is a club member as well, though we barely manage to tolerate him. I won’t go into detail about his other exploits, but one of his shitty character traits was the inability to keep a time schedule.
The aforementioned invoices could be uploaded during a generous time slot decided by Nina (usually 2 weeks). We all managed to do so. Except Daniel. Every time Nina sent out a final reminder that people had 24 hours left, Daniel would immediately demand an extension. And then another one. And another one. Denying his request would lead to a hissy fit of biblical proportions and usually resulted in Nina acquiescing. Reimbursements were sometimes delayed for half a year, overlapping with the process of the next event. Nothing helped. Daniel didn’t see a problem and it wasn’t severe enough to throw him out.
Nina left a short while ago (not because of Daniel in particular, but I am sure he played a part) and had to be replaced.
In comes Bert. Bert is a 55 year old veteran club member with a beer belly, a viking beard, arms as thick as my thighs, the personality of an Irish dock worker and the vocabulary of a Hungarian pimp.
Bert knew about Daniel‘s antics and decided to put a stop to them from the beginning.
We have an event. Bert opens the online process to upload the invoices and gives the same 2 weeks. 24 hours before the deadline Bert puts out a message that once the time is up, no more receipts will be accepted. Daniel asks for an extension, Bert says no, Daniel throws a hissy fit, Bert doesn’t respond. Bert then closes the upload process.
At the next weekly meeting, Daniel confronted Bert. Unfortunately, it didn’t go the way Daniel had imagined. He was able to finish half a sentence, before Bert‘s voice thundered through the whole meeting venue:
„You listen to me, you little [EXPLETIVE]. You knew exactly how much [EXPLETIVE] time you had and you knew exactly what would [EXPLETIVE] happen afterwards. The upload process will stay up as long as [EXPLETIVE] announced and I will be [EXPLETIVE] if I let a single [EXPLETIVE] like you increase my workload. And if you have a problem with that then you can [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE] your [EXPLETIVE].“
Daniel fell silent and left. He is still a member…but he is now strangely enough capable to upload the invoices within the alotted time.
I like Bert.

First of all, I don’t know how no one saw multiple red flags from the beginning… they essentially made the game for modders and advertised it as such — im sorry but im not paying so much money on a game where im supposed to rely on creators to make it interesting. They spent all of their resources on advertisements and hype: sending it out to people and posting vids 24/7 rather than listening to customers and fixing issues. Anatomy is horrendous but we all know that by now, the animations are mid and conversations just don’t feel meaningful — atp if we’re gonna use real language why not base the game on unreal engine so we talk to AI which could lead to some interesting conversations. Graphics are horrendous, but they still require high specs. Idk I just see much more cons than pros and the fact that Paradox stepped in themselves to stop the game from releasing speaks volumes. Their meetings are supposedly cancelled and there’s no info about the delay other than the fact that it’s not happening in 2 weeks. The only positive thing they had going on was the fact that the game was supposed to be released before the competition (InZOI, Paralives) and possibly earning more money + having a headstart — but they ruined it. They have no idea what they’re doing — period.

I had been seeing this man for about 1 1/2 years, every day or every other day. We didnt make it public because I was unsure how my parents would feel (they kinda racist.) Then he revealed that he has a child to me. He has no social media but snapchat so I would’ve never found it. He said he thought I would judge him so he didn’t say it blah blah blah. I didn’t really care , I was happy for him (she looked like 2-3.) But now my parents really wouldn’t like it since i’m 19 and he’s 25 with a kid. Despite that I was still in love with him so I would be with him anyway. So over the course of the following 6 months leading to the current time, I asked many questions about BM. Is she still in the picture, does he still see her, etc. He insisted he only saw her to pick up his child at times or do family stuff. That’s pretty reasonable I can respect it. He made many many excuses like we can’t make it public bc she may be mad and force child support or not allow me into the family etc. Well yesterday, I was checking this guys sister FB and found BM. Lo and behold there is tons of pics of her and “my man” together (I’ve been talking about him like he’s my man for 2 years and he is friends with all my friends.) I am physically ill to my stomach looking at the pics finding out they have been together the entire time. Do I tell her? I am afraid he will seek revenge on me. I am worried this can cause more turmoil in our already crazy lives. I am genuinely afraid of what he’ll try to do to me if I tell her. I told him that I found out and to go F himself and cut contact. I feel like such a bad person for doing this to his FIANCE (she had a ring on all the pics), she will be really angry at me. Also I discovered he started seeing me right BEFORE he had the baby shes 2. We literally would play games on each others phones or hed be driving and say text this person for me. I never saw her there. He spent 2 Christmas, Valentines, Easter, my bday, etc with me. My brain can’t comprehend how this is possible. Am I missing something? Maybe they’re on and off or just post on facebook to make it look stable when they’re not really together? He would go 3 months in a row seeing me EVERY DAY at times.

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂
★
🤍
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before
★
🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
★
🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
★
🤍
I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.
★
🤍
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.
★
🤍
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.
★
🤍
I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.
★
🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
★
🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.
★
🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others
★
🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
★
🤍
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

Hi, my name is Juan, I'm from Colombia and I been having a very huge problem with my xbox series s since a couple of days. There was a storm with lightnings in the place where I live and for a few seconds there was a black out, so I disconnected my TV and the console and after the storm ended I turned on the console again but it took a very long time to start and when the homepage finally appeared it said that it was not connected to the xbox network and It seemed pretty weird to me, beacause the console was already wired connected so I thought it was a problem with my wi-fi router so I disconnected the router for about 5 minutes and also I restarted the console, but the problem remained the same, and I just realized that it couldn't be a wi-fi problem beacuse my laptop was working perfectly with the same LAN cable that I was using in the xbox, the funny thing is that I also tried a wireless connection but it kept saying that the console was NAT connected and that I had to disconnect the wire, even when it was ALREADY DISCONNECTED, so basically I was not having any internet connection at all, so I decided to reset the console to factory settings (and went just worse) first I tried to reset and keep my games and apps, then mid process the screen displayed a message saying checking for updates but after that a message saying error code 0x8B050084 0x00000000 0x00000201, and I really tried it all to solve this but none of my efforts worked, at that point I only had three options to try, "try again", "check network" and "turn off console", if I press on "try again" the same error code displays again, if I press on "check network" it ask me to check wired or wireless connection and when I press wired it says it's all good and the console it's wired connected even when the LAN Cable it's unplugged, which is a big problem, so I tried to check the wireless connection and it didn't show me my wireless network not even wireless networks nearby, the only thing displaying it's "Add wireless network" so when I press it, it says Specify SSID and at this point it's not even a surprise that when I put my SSID it didn't work at all, saying that my security protocol won't work, I even tried typing the SSID's from my neighbors and also none of them worked, so I'm stuck in the factory settings mode and the only possible solution that I found in the internet was doing an offline update through a flash drive, so I reset my pendrive to NTFS format and I downloaded the OSU1 file from the xbox webpage and I just copied the "$Systemupdate" file to the USB, then I get to the xbox troubleshooting menu and I inserted the pendrive to perform an "offline system update". I really thought that this method was going to be effective but when the update process was at about 80% the console just stopped the update and started to display "checking for updates" again just to end up showing the same error code 0x8B050084 0x00000000 0x00000201 AGAIN. I was so confused beacuse what is the point of doing an offline system update if it is going to check out the network connectivity anyway, I've tried to perform the offline system update three times but the result was same, so at this point my series s won't start at all and I really don't know what to do.

I reside in Japan, so it's normal to ask about blood type (血液型) upon having a date or relationship. (It's even featured on some anime, as it's s trope found in romance types, if you know the right scenes for it.) But I was surprised that it's also a thing in South Korea, as one of my friends from there mentioned it. I even heard this type of question asked on K-drama's.
Let's say a Japanese / Korean Man / Woman decides to date and start an interracial relationship with a American / British Man / Woman (or any other foreigner), but the Japanese or Korean individual asked them this question: "What's your blood type?" As it is a rough equivalent of asking for their zodiac sign. (It's even a question asked in anime, when you come across scenes involving dating or relationships.)
From both within Japanese or Korean culture, blood type is seen as an indicator for personality to marriage compatibility. (Okay, from a medical standpoint it kind of makes sense since you want the future child to be healthy, as if you have a kid with blood type that differs from you and your partner, it can cause problems if you need a blood transfusion, as you need a blood type that is compatible.)
Even on dating apps, people from both countries actually list their blood type within their profiles (both male and female), as you can literally see it within their bio. Another thing, on apps like Tinder: Japanese women tend to hide their faces a lot, it's like they are camera shy, as opposed to Western women they take a full picture of themselves, not camera shy, when they upload their profile picture.
Basically its explained like this, just to list a few attributes. (Personality) -

Type A	Type B	Type AB	Type O
Kind	Optimistic	They are bookworms	Realistic
Hardworking	Gets lonely easily	Calm and rational	Very cautious
Big on cleaniness	Love festivals and parties	Chasing their ideals and dreams	Dream of getting rich quick
Good at hospitality	Quick to adapt	Have various hobbies	Romanticists
Safe drivers	Likes to play	Have strong spirituality	Heading straight toward their goal
Strong on taking responsibility	Afraid of being alone	Sensitive and easily hurt	Vigorous at earning a living
Can be calm even when accidents happen	Have unique ideas and are creative	Doesn't like interference from other people	Good at developing economic concepts

The affinity of type A

If a partner has blood type A: that means they have many points in common, both of them are highly strung, so that means they can become irritated with each other.
If a partner has blood type B: an individual with type A envies type B happy to go personality, but on the flip side type A worries about type B's personality.
If a partner has blood type AB: the individual with type AB is reliable for a person with type A, they can turn to and rely on them for advice and assistance. They can have a stable relationship.
If a partner has blood type O: that individual is protective of type A, but if type A discusses about every small thing, the relationship will end on a bad note.

The affinity of type B

If a partner has blood type A: that individual will be willing to help a person who is type B, but in return they easily get fatigued. Type A complains and nags about type B.
If a partner has blood type B: both parties are not careful. That leads the both of them on doing stuff that is considered off the rails and may regret later.
If a partner has blood type AB: they quickly start having a liking for each other, hence their relationship starts. They love each other a lot.
If a partner has blood type O: they can understand each other easily, the type O covers for type B's bad points, hence they are a still a great match.

The affininty of type AB

If a partner has blood type A: an type AB individual respects type A, they have a passionate love for each other, but they end up fighting and quarreling.
If a partner has blood type B: They are a good match connecting with each other easily, hence the chemistry between them is compatible.
If a partner has blood type AB: the relationship proceeds along parallel lines, but they cannot open their minds to each other. It's best to be not be too close, but also not too far.
If a partner has blood type O: they can both succeed in both business along various activities together, as they can produce new things easily.

The affinity of type O

If a partner has blood type A: that individual will always want to take the lead for type A, they are a good match for each other.
If a partner has blood type B: they can talk and freely express while having a comfortable relationship, but type O gets confused about type B's moody persona at times.
If a partner has blood type AB: their thoughts are a match, but if both parties are in the same 'arena' they compete with each other.
If a partner has blood type O: both parties don't understand each other easily, so they feel alienated. It's suggested that they should not be close together.

I mean, what would be the reaction of a Westerner or any other foreigner, like Europeans, Hispanics or Arabs, etc. if a Japanese or Korean individual asked them this question: "What blood type are you?" upon dating, are they going to literally think they have ill intentions on harvesting their organs selling it to traffickers or something? (When it is not connotated like that at all!)
My guess is that, it's just a cultural difference that may need some explaining, as they may not fully grasp what they had just asked them. Since their dating cultures are different in their own way, how would an American, Brit, Aussie or any other foreigner be able to answer back? Would they be creeped out or consider it weird, as it may not be a question they have been asked before.

In today’s world, understanding human behavior is crucial. However, two distinct approaches often cause confusion: mainstream evolutionary psychology and the ideas presented by Iain McGilchrist in his book "The Master and His Emissary." While both seek to explain aspects of human behavior and thought, they do so from vastly different perspectives. Let's break down these concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, particularly focusing on how McGilchrist explains the evolution of the brain.

Mainstream Evolutionary Psychology

What is it? Mainstream evolutionary psychology focuses on understanding how our psychological traits and behaviors have evolved. Imagine it as a detective story, where scientists try to figure out why we think and act the way we do by looking at how our ancestors lived and survived.
Key Ideas:

• Adaptation: Many human behaviors and mental processes are seen as adaptations to the environments our ancestors lived in. This includes things like our fear of snakes (which could have been a survival mechanism) or our preference for sweet foods (which provided energy).
• Universal Behaviors: It looks for behaviors that are common across all humans, suggesting that these behaviors are rooted in our evolutionary past.

How Do They Study It? Researchers in this field use a combination of studies on human behavior, comparisons with other animals, and insights from evolutionary theory to build their understanding.

Iain McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary"

What is it? Iain McGilchrist's book takes a different approach. He explores how the two hemispheres of our brain—the right and the left—perceive and interact with the world in distinct ways. Think of it as a story about two characters in your brain with different personalities and jobs.
Key Ideas:

• The Right Hemisphere (The Master): According to McGilchrist, the right hemisphere is holistic, meaning it looks at the big picture. It’s good at understanding context, relationships, and the broader meaning of things.
• The Left Hemisphere (The Emissary): The left hemisphere is more focused on details and analytical thinking. It’s great at breaking things down into parts, categorizing, and focusing on specifics.
• Cultural Impact: McGilchrist argues that Western culture has become overly dominated by the left hemisphere's way of thinking, leading to a more fragmented and analytical approach to the world, at the expense of the right hemisphere's holistic and integrative view.

The Evolution of the Brain According to McGilchrist

This is where some confusion arises. McGilchrist's explanation of brain evolution is not the same as the typical evolutionary psychology narrative.
Mainstream View of Brain Evolution:

• Incremental Development: Evolutionary psychologists often explain the brain's evolution as a series of incremental adaptations to environmental challenges. This involves the development of specific brain regions and functions that helped our ancestors survive and reproduce.
• Functional Specialization: Different parts of the brain evolved to handle different tasks, such as language, memory, and social behavior. This specialization helped our ancestors navigate complex social environments and improve their chances of survival.

McGilchrist's View of Brain Evolution:

• Hemispheric Specialization: McGilchrist focuses on how the two hemispheres of the brain evolved to handle different types of tasks. He suggests that this specialization goes beyond simple functional differences and influences our entire way of experiencing the world.
• Master-Emissary Relationship: He describes the right hemisphere as the "Master" because it provides a holistic, context-aware understanding of reality, while the left hemisphere, the "Emissary," deals with details and analysis. He argues that this relationship has evolved to balance our perception and action, but modern culture has skewed heavily towards the left hemisphere's way of thinking.
• Cultural Evolution: McGilchrist posits that cultural and historical developments have been significantly shaped by the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, affecting everything from art and science to social structures and individual well-being.

Why McGilchrist's Work Is Not Evolutionary Psychology

The confusion often arises because understanding McGilchrist's work requires a grasp of how brain hemispheres function and influence psychology through neural activation patterns. Additionally, it involves understanding brain structures and how these contribute to our interpreted actions.
1. Different Focus:

• Evolutionary Psychology: Focuses on specific psychological traits and their evolutionary origins. It looks at universal human behaviors that have developed as adaptations.
• McGilchrist’s Work: Centers on how the functional specialization of brain hemispheres influences cognition and culture, exploring the broader implications of hemispheric dominance.

2. Methodology:

• Evolutionary Psychology: Utilizes empirical research, comparative studies, and evolutionary theory to build its understanding. It tests hypotheses about human behavior through scientific methods.
• McGilchrist’s Approach: Employs an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing information from various fields and offering interpretative analysis. His work is more about integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and history.

3. Theoretical Foundations:

• Evolutionary Psychology: Grounded in the principles of Darwinian evolution, focusing on adaptations and survival mechanisms. It seeks to explain psychological traits as evolved solutions to ancestral problems.
• McGilchrist’s Theories: Focus on the qualitative differences in hemispheric processing and their cultural implications. His work is not primarily about evolutionary adaptations but rather about how different modes of thinking have shaped human history and culture.

Conclusion

While both mainstream evolutionary psychology and Iain McGilchrist’s work seek to understand human behavior and brain function, they operate in fundamentally different domains. Evolutionary psychology provides insight into the adaptive nature of psychological traits, grounded in empirical research and evolutionary theory. In contrast, McGilchrist offers a unique perspective on how the brain’s hemispheres contribute to our cognitive processes and cultural development, employing a more interpretative and interdisciplinary approach.
Understanding these differences helps to appreciate the distinct contributions of each perspective, enriching our overall comprehension of the complex tapestry of human thought and behavior. McGilchrist’s work is a valuable addition to the broader field of psychology and neuroscience, but it stands apart from the empirical and adaptation-focused framework of evolutionary psychology.

I've been on a bit of a journey lately, exploring the often overlooked heart and soul of organizations: their vision and mission. Specifically, I've dived into why so many seem to miss the mark, becoming nothing more than decorative statements on a wall rather than the driving force they're meant to be. Today, on Day 7 of this exploration, I want to share some insights on Aligning Hearts and Minds: The Role of Your Mission in Engagement.
Why Most Missions Fall Short
It's a common sight: organizations with missions that are either too vague, too complex, or simply uninspiring. These missions fail to capture the essence of the organization and its people, making them ineffective as tools for engagement and alignment. But why does this matter? Because a mission that truly resonates with every member of the team can transform the entire organizational atmosphere, turning passive participants into passionate contributors.
The Journey to Alignment
The path to a mission that resonates deeply with everyone involved isn't about finding the most eloquent words; it's about finding words that reflect the collective heart and purpose of the organization. It involves every team member in the creation or refinement process, ensuring that the mission is not just accepted but owned by all.
Here's how you can start:
Collaborative Workshops: Organize sessions where team members can contribute their views on what the organization stands for and its core values. This collective brainstorming can reveal common threads that define your true mission.
Living the Mission: A mission should be a living, breathing part of every day, guiding decisions, behavior, and strategies. It’s about integrating this mission into the very fabric of the organization's culture.
Continuous Dialogue: Keep the conversation going. A mission isn't set in stone; as your organization grows and evolves, so should your mission. Regular check-ins ensure it remains relevant and engaging.
Making It Stick
A meaningful mission can be the difference between a team that's merely going through the motions and one that's fully engaged and driving towards common goals. It’s about making sure that mission resonates not just in the minds of your team, but in their hearts as well.
Final Thoughts
Crafting a mission that truly resonates is a journey worth taking. It's about more than just engagement; it's about creating an environment where everyone feels part of something greater than themselves, driving both personal and organizational growth.
I'm curious to hear from you all—have you been part of an organization where the mission truly made a difference in your engagement and motivation? Or perhaps you've seen the opposite, where the mission felt disconnected from the reality of your work? Let's discuss.
Remember, this is a space for sharing insights, experiences, and strategies. Whether you're leading a team or part of one, your perspective is valuable. Let's build a community that supports growth, alignment, and meaningful engagement.

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂
★
🤍
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before
★
🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
★
🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
★
🤍
I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.
★
🤍
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.
★
🤍
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.
★
🤍
I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.
★
🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
★
🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.
★
🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others
★
🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side

What are the hacks to solve excavator problems? Excavators are essential heavy machinery in the construction industry, playing a pivotal role in various tasks, from digging trenches to lifting heavy materials. However, like any complex equipment, excavators can encounter problems that hinder their performance and efficiency. In this guide, we will explore common excavator issues and provide innovative hacks to solve them effectively. Whether you’re a seasoned construction professional or a beginner, these solutions can save you time, money, and headaches.
The Importance of Excavators in Construction
Excavators are the backbone of construction sites, enabling tasks that range from digging foundations to demolishing structures. Their versatility and power make them indispensable for a wide array of projects, from residential to commercial. Given their crucial role, any disruption in their functioning can lead to project delays and increased costs.
Common Excavator Issues
Excavators, like any machinery, are prone to wear and tear due to heavy usage. Common issues include hydraulic system leakage, engine overheating, slow or inefficient operation, and unusual noises. Addressing these problems promptly is essential to maintain project timelines and ensure worker safety.
Maintenance: The Key to Preventing Problems
Regular Inspections and Lubrication
One of the most effective ways to prevent excavator problems is through regular maintenance. Conducting thorough inspections at designated intervals can help identify potential issues before they escalate. Regular lubrication of moving parts ensures smoother operation and reduces the risk of wear and tear.
Proper Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning your excavator after each use not only keeps it looking presentable but also helps prevent the buildup of dirt and debris that can cause problems over time. Proper storage in a sheltered area shields the machinery from harsh weather conditions, extending its lifespan.
Hacks for Common Excavator Problems
Problem #1: Hydraulic System Leakage
Identifying the Issue
Hydraulic system leakage can lead to decreased efficiency and even safety hazards. Identifying the source of the leak is the first step in addressing this problem.
Hack #1: Temporary Sealant Application
In cases of minor leaks, applying a temporary sealant to the affected area can provide a quick fix. However, this should only be used as a temporary measure until proper repairs can be made.
Hack #2: Replacement of Damaged Seals
For more substantial leaks, damaged seals are often the culprit. Replacing these seals promptly can prevent further leakage and ensure the hydraulic system’s proper functioning.
Long-Term Solution: Preventative Maintenance
Regularly inspecting hydraulic hoses and seals for signs of wear and tear can help catch potential issues before they become major leaks. Employing preventative maintenance strategies, such as keeping hydraulic fluid at the recommended levels, can extend the longevity of your excavator’s hydraulic system.
Problem #2: Engine Overheating
Identifying the Issue
Engine overheating can result from a variety of factors, including clogged radiators, low coolant levels, or malfunctioning fans.
Hack #1: Cleaning the Radiator and Cooling System
Regularly cleaning the radiator and cooling system prevents the accumulation of dirt and debris that can obstruct proper airflow and lead to overheating.
Hack #2: Monitoring Coolant Levels
Maintaining the correct coolant levels is crucial for preventing engine overheating. Monitor these levels consistently and top up as needed.
Long-Term Solution: Routine Cooling System Checks
Incorporating routine cooling system checks into your maintenance schedule helps identify and rectify issues that could lead to engine overheating. This can save you from costly repairs down the line.
Problem #3: Slow or Inefficient Operation
Identifying the Issue
Slow or inefficient operation can stem from various factors, including low hydraulic fluid levels and clogged filters.
Hack #1: Checking Hydraulic Fluid Levels
Ensuring that hydraulic fluid is at the recommended level is vital for optimal excavator performance. Low fluid levels can result in sluggish operation.
Hack #2: Inspecting and Cleaning Filters
Clogged filters can impede the flow of hydraulic fluid and affect excavator efficiency. Regularly inspecting and cleaning filters can enhance performance.
Long-Term Solution: Scheduled Fluid Replacement
Incorporate scheduled hydraulic fluid replacement into your maintenance routine. This prevents a gradual decline in fluid quality, ensuring consistent excavator performance.
Problem #4: Unusual Noises
Identifying the Issue
Unusual noises can indicate underlying problems within the excavator’s components.
Hack #1: Tightening Loose Components
Vibrations and heavy usage can cause bolts and other components to become loose, resulting in strange noises. Regularly check and tighten these components as needed.
Hack #2: Lubricating Moving Parts
Proper lubrication of moving parts reduces friction and minimizes noise. Incorporate lubrication into your maintenance regimen to mitigate this issue.
Long-Term Solution: Regular Equipment Inspections
Conduct thorough equipment inspections to identify and rectify issues that could lead to unusual noises. Addressing problems promptly can prevent more extensive damage.
The Role of Regular Professional Inspections
Hiring Certified Technicians
While DIY hacks can be effective for minor issues, it’s crucial to enlist the expertise of certified technicians for comprehensive excavator inspections. These professionals are trained to identify hidden problems and offer specialized solutions.
Inspection Frequency and Benefits
Regular professional inspections, at least once a year, provide a comprehensive assessment of your excavator’s condition. This proactive approach helps catch potential problems early, reducing downtime and repair costs.
Sourcing Quality Excavators
The Importance of Reliable Equipment
Investing in quality excavators is the foundation of preventing problems. Reliable machinery is less likely to encounter

Hi guys,
I got engaged to my fiancée recently. She has dyslexia, adhd, and autism. The problem we are having is, she’s never lived on her own before this (we are 25) and she is struggling to get by due to her reading issues and general lack of processing. Ahe did not receive any help for this growing up as she was severely neglected. She will frequently do things with no forethought and not realize the mistake until it is pointed out. We are struggling financially because she is having a hard time finding a job after losing hers. I wrote her resume for her and everything because she was overwhelmed by it. Well, she put it into indeed, and didn’t think her indeed resume would stay up along with it (she didn’t understand she was adding the file additionally and not replacing the resume on there) and so it turns out what she’s been applying with is incoherent and outdated. She can’t follow directions to the point of struggling to follow basic recipes. And she broke our microwave by running it on empty for 30 minutes, thinking it was a timer and not realizing it was on even though it makes noise when it’s cooking. Lastly, we just found out we can’t text, at all, because she doesn’t understand what I’m sending her and will think she does and respond, which leads to miscommunications.
Moral of the story - she is not able to read, process spoken or written instructions, or communicate in a written format with others.
At this point I’m wondering if this behavior is normal for dyslexia or if I should bring her to the doctor, or where an adult can get help with this if it is just dyslexia/adhd because it’s seriously impacting her functioning and our life, I feel like I’m out of options. Treatment like occupational and speech are very expensive and I’m genuinely scared about the future.

At my district discussion meeting last week, the only mention of May Contribution was at the end, when someone said she had envelopes for whoever might need one (one person took one immediately).
A couple of our youth members are college students who will be going to their homes for the summer. So a large part of the meeting was devoted to their experiences and hopes and determinations. A couple of our musical members sang “Over the Rainbow” and did a nice wordless version of “Song of the Disciples”. Around all that we discussed Sensei’s words about “the shallow and the profound” in the May Living Buddhism, with everyone sharing their own ideas about recognizing the difference in their own lives and daily activities.
None of that – not one second of it – was mandated, or derived from a script. No one told us what we had to do in our meeting, what anyone was expected to say: not bnational leaders or publications, not Territory leaders, not Zone, not Region, not Chapter l;eaders.
That is typical, and it has been the case in SGI-USA for years.
Blanche Fromage knows that. She reads the publications. She reads MITA, and we have discussed in many times. But she still write about “SGI-USA's assigned (non)discussion meeting scripts. Where's that "personal quality" in reading off something you've been ASSIGNED rather than designing it for yourselves?”
She is lying. She knows she’s lying. She lies anyway. The “proof” her sock puppet links to is a post by HERSELF as another of her sock puppets.
She has to use sock puppets because Reddit suspended the name “Blanche Fromage” for being unable to control her expressions of hatred. Hatred leads to lying, to say8ing things demonstrably untrue, because the hater thinks that by shouting loudly enough they can drown out the truth.
It’s so pitiful – some 3500 people looking to her sub for one reason or another, and all she has to offer them is hatred and lies.
The difference between the shallow and the profound can be seen in our own lives.

Hello! Would anyone know the name of an RPG game for PC that has these characteristics:
You start in a castle, there is a fairy that regenerates your HP but you have to find a gem for her to continue recovering your HP, the enemies are ogres, the initial menu has some pipes releasing steam.
I'm trying to remember the name of this game, but I can't, if anyone knows, I'd be grateful!
More details: Some features of the game: for PC, in 3D, years 2000-2007, top view, you start in a castle which is basically four walls surrounding a village, there is a woman in this village who regenerates your HP, but later you will need to find a jewel for her you can keep regenerating your HP, the enemies are ogres, in the game's initial menu there are some pipes emitting steam.
Regarding enemies, I remember an ogre armed with a crossbow, an ogre that throws rocks at you, an ogre with very strong armor and a post that shoots arrows in four directions.
What I remember is that on the initial map, right in front of the village, in the bottom left corner, there was a huge iron gate that separated the levels and some pipes that released steam, something similar to the steampunk style.
https://preview.redd.it/ig54go7w4s1d1.jpg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3a8a2eaf3c164213ab488f0a91abdca8b66aa94
I know it may sound ridiculous, but as the last step in my effort, I've simplistically sketched what I can remember of the game's opening map.
1- Village where you start, make negotiations (sell and buy) and also where there is a woman who regenerates your HP.
2- In the north of this map there is something similar to a vineyard.
3- A huge iron gate that separates the game’s phases.
4- The path that leads to this gate has some pipes releasing steam.
5- Path that leads to another gate which is Phase II of the game.
6- Location of Phase I of the game, where the player can walk and explore freely and which contains many enemies to be faced.
Edit: drawings have never been my strong point. I hope this doesn't offend you.

For context I just started playing about a month ago after the Amazon show came out. I’ve been a fallout die hard since fo3, and played 76 when it came out but didn’t enjoy it back then.
Once I found about the serums and the potential for money selling them in my shop I’ve damn near saved just about every cap leading up to this point so I could purchase all the serums from the enclave.
Now that I have them all I want to start mass producing them and selling them in my shop but I don’t want to be the person that charges 1-2k caps for them, so I wanted to see what y’all’s fair price point is for them considering the time it takes to get the Ingredients/time for me to make while still being fair to others to want to buy.

I started taking zoloft at the age of of 16 from constant over stimulation that had started once i hit puberty at 11 years old. The first few months on zoloft i felt happier than i had ever felt before to a pretty extreme extent. I didnt know this was an odd reaction to ssri’s especially since up to the age of 16 i had never done any drugs. I hadn’t ever even had caffeine before besides the low amount in soda which I rarely ever had. The reason im saying this is because there were nothing in my life i had experienced that was mind altering. This is why i didnt know at the time that i was really, really high on zoloft. Apparently it was obvious to my family who have said it was very obvious something was wrong once I started. I became the most extreme extrovert anyone could ever become. This all lead to me going from a normal 3.0 gpa to graduating with a 1.8 gpa. I became a drug addict in the worst way possible. I had become so impulsive. I went from being a kid who never lies or does anything bad to the guy who lies for no reason. I became a poly addict within months of starting zoloft. I became completely disconnected from not only friends but to my parents as well. This continued for 2 years until i finally stopped taking it at 18. Once i stopped taking zoloft i did a complete 180, well sort of. The addictions i picked up on zoloft for the most part stopped, except for one drug which i still struggle with. That being adderall and vyvanse. Thank the lord i never met anyone with meth during this time. There were other drugs i was addicted too as well while on zoloft like oxycodone, hydrocodone, weed, nicotine, xanax, Klonopin, alcohol and even more. I was addicted to all of these. I couldnt stop thinking about getting high. Its all i thought about. Always thinking of ways to get drugs. My parents had to buy a safe specifically for there prescriptions to keep me from stealing them. Even my own zoloft was in there safe because i would take 4 a day when i was prescribed to take one 50mg. I even abused tylenal(acetaminophen). My parents also couldn’t keep alcohol anywhere in the house since everynight after they went to bed i would search the whole house for it.

 Like i said though once I turned 18 i stopped taking zoloft and just like that all of my hyper focused drug cravings went away, all of them except for amphetamines which i still struggle with today. Also this isnt really related but when i was 19 i tried molly(mdma) with a friend which i had only had gotten because i started abusing amphetamines again which for some reason amphetamines also make me impulsive, but not to the same level as Zoloft though. Anyways when i took the molly, guess what it felt like?! It was literally the exact same head space and just over all feeling i had during the first 6 moths on Zoloft. It felt exactly the same, just it only lasted for a few hourse and made me very umm aroused, and a bit hyped. 

Im about to turn 21 in 7 days so it really hasnt been to long since my manic days.
Second time on ssri’s
Right around when i had turned 20 i began getting my first ever panic attacks. Most of them were the normal panic attacks, well normal probably isn’t the right word. I mean most of the attacks i had i could deal with on my own since they all happened at night when i was alone. One night though that changed. This particular night i felt that dreadful anxiety which i had been feeling for the past couple weeks already but it had never gotten to the point where it was too overwhelming for me deal with on my own. I was just laying in bed going to sleep, then it just happened in less than a second i knew i was gonna die. I knew this was it. I couldn’t breathe or i guess i could breathe but for some reason every time i would inhale it was just like i wasn’t idk. That immediate overwhelming feeling of death is the worst pain i hade ever felt. Worse than any physical pain id ever had, well i guess its the worst thing i’ve ever felt period at least at this point in my life. Because of this i went to the doctor. I refused to take ssri’s for it while also really trying to stay away from benzodiazepines for obvious reasons. So i perscribed Buspiron which is kinda in its on catargory. It’s non addictive and its not an antidepressant. So I took it for just about a month. Made me lowkey feel like shit. Constant headaches along with being really hot which is kinda problem since i work physical labor pretty much only outside all while it’s july. So unfortunately the only other option was ssri’s since im still on my parents health insurance my mom would never in a million years allow me take benzodiazepine which is obviously understandable. So i get a script for prozac cause it’s not Zoloft so maybe it’ll be a little different. Boy oh boy was it different. So basically the prozac ended up doing exactly the opposite of what the Zoloft did. I became more depressed than i had ever been by a landslide. Legit would fantasize killing myself. The first two weeks on prozac i would do nothing. Like straight up nothing but think about how amazing it would be to get relief by meeting up with my favorite tree. Eventually it went away for the most part. Then i stopped taking it 3 moths ago, so i was on it for 9 months total. I just felt normal on it for the most part. The only other thing it did that was bothersome was make me a little short tempered.
Ive just been curious if anyone else has experienced something similar to me.

[This is part of a larger video project on the geological past of Monster Hunter World]
Hello everyone from whichever subreddit I might post this in. I was working on a future video project for Monster Hunter World, and wanted to post some of my findings here, because, hey, it’s actually pretty interesting imo.
Those findings are specifically about the Coral Highlands and the Rotten Vale and whether the death of a giant fucking Dalamadur could trigger the flourishing of an ecosystem like the Coral Highlands
So, without further ado, let’s start !
My objective was to calculate the mass of the giant dalamadur in the Rotten Vale, figure out what’s the average decomposition speed of most animals, and then just multiply both to figure out how long it would’ve taken for the Rotten Vale’s Dalamadur to decompose.
From there on you try to figure out 2 things :

• Whether this duration is longer than at least 65 Million years ago : Since it’s impossible for the Dalamadurs were too large to fit inside the Rotten Vale, a possible theory is that the area was much more open back then, and due to an orogeny which lead to the high mountain ranges in the region and closed of the area in which these chunky bois lived in. Due to the massive size of these Elder Dragons, they probably just eat a lot once, destroying the ecosystem, and then go on to hibernate for long periods of times. Since the largest Dalamadur found in the Rotten Vale is estimated to be around 8-11 km long ( I averaged it to about 9km in length in my calculations ), it’s probably not far-fetched to think they might hibernate through hundred of millions of years, which eventually lead to their death in the Vale. This would also explain why you’re appointed in 4U to kill Dalamadurs, as they can absolutely destroy an ecosystem when they get out of hibernation, and an extra bit of lore that could explain why the Dalamadur only appeared in 4U : it was a one-time thing.

Anyways, the Himalayas, which was the result of very fast colliding plates, creating one of the highest peaking mountain ranges, was formed at around 65-55 Million years ago, when the Indian and Eurasian plates collided. In conclusion, if we assume that the plates which created the mountain range in the area might be slower ( or faster, we never know ), the Rotten Vale’s Dalamadur must be at least as old as the geological formations themselves, in other words around 100+ Million Years Old

• Whether it has enough organic material to sustain an ecosystem.

With that out of the way, I took in the length and weight of the Dalamadur we find in MH4U ( shout-out to u/BloodbathFatalis for figuring it out, links to his post here : ), and apply it to Vale Dalamadur, which I will refer to in this post as “Ancient Dalamadur” from now on
Ill link my spreadsheet later this day, but basically I got a mass of about 342 Million Metric Ton ( fig.1 : https://imgur.com/a/8euzNul ), which is fucking insane. I don’t have anything to compare it immediately but it’s just, unimaginably heavy.
Next, Decomposition
When I was researching this subject, I discovered Whale Falls, which are basically the formation of little ecosystem around a whale carcass, which is EXACTLY what I needed. Whale Falls happen in 3 stages, the first one being the decomposition of soft tissue, the second being the colonization of the bones by different animals, and the third stage is the decomposition of the bones themselves. The Fourth Stage, dubbed “Reef Stage” on Wikipedia, is when all that’s left are minerals : in other words, all organic matter has been consumed. Now, of course, comparing a snake to a whale leads to some issues, and it might not give us an exact value, especially since the chemical composition of whale and snake bones are completely different, but at least this might give us an approximate value. If anyone know the percentage of lipids in snake bones though, I’m down to calculate using that.
Anyways, after applying the values given by *Wikipedia* for the Whale Fall of a grey Whale, we can figure out how long it takes for a Dalamadur, and by extension, an Ancient Dalamadur, to decompose ( fig. 2 : https://imgur.com/a/Bjl3gEE ).
This gives us a total time until Reef Stage of about 885 MILLIONS YEARS.
THAT’S A LONG-ASS TIME
For comparison, On Earth, 885 Millions years ago, Life was literally but a few multicellular organisms that could photosynthesize. Trees, insects, animals, none of them existed yet.
So yeah, having a giant fucking Dalamadur stuck there is plausible, somehow, since by then mountain collision could’ve happened and even after erosion and rifting, the bones would still be there.
Considering also that 50 Millions years of those is just decomposing the Giant Dalamadur until the skeleton is fully colonized, yeah no, this actually makes more sense than we give it credit for
Also, thanks to more *Wikipedia* sources, we have the added knowledge that a grey whale whale fall releases would’ve released around 17 Million Tons of Carbon.
For comparison, most natural oils and fossil fuels are about 85% Carbon, so if all the Organic Matter of these Giant Dalamadurs were trapped, only one of them could amount to 14.2 Million Tons of petroleum, for example. Since 1kg of Petroleum of Petroleum is about 1.27 Liters ( 1L=>0.79kg), 1 ton of Petroleum is 1270 Liters, this gives us about 1.80E10 L of petroleum, or, in other words, 18 Billion Liters, which is about 112,500,000Barrels. For comparison, we as humans use 97,103,871 Barrels per day, so one Ancient Dalamadur has enough organic matter to to fuel the needs for oil for ALL OF HUMANITY for an ENTIRE DAY.
This made me realize two things :

• Holy shit so many living things died in the past so that we could use Cars and Airplanes
  
• Holy shit Humanity is releasing so much fucking CO2… ( Whyyyy do we keep using fossil fuels ffs )
  

Fun fact though, while Ancient Dalamadur is, fucking massive, compared to other snake physiology and anatomy…. He’s not the bulkiest (fig.3 https://imgur.com/a/TvFzKok ). If Dalamadurs had the metabolism of a Gaboon Viper or an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, they’d be MUCH bulkier and would then take even LONGER to decompose and would have EVEN MORE organic matter
This is fucking insane
But anyways, Conclusion :
Considering that the Rotten Vale contains more than just one Ancient Dalamadur, and I only used the mmeasurement approximation of the Largest Ancient Dalamadur, aka, the one with the Giant Skull on the Surface level of the Vale, and that Vaal Hazak’s control over the area is now forcing all elder dragons migrating to the New World to die there, with part of their energy going too the Elder’s Recess :
Yeah, it’s more plausible than I thought, I have to say.
That’s all I have for today, I’ll probably make another post here about the Guiding Lands or maybe even the Everstream someday. Thanks for reading this, if I missed anything or want me to give you some more info on the subject, or even give me some propositions or future video ideas, make sure to comment and also upvote so that more people can see this and I didn’t just spent two days doing research for nothing. See ya !
PS : So I had to rewrite this paragraph due to a fuck up, and also I discovered this after writing all this down, but basically the length of the Ancient Dalamadur might not be accurate, as I've seen posts either saying he's 1-3km long and others saying he's 5-10km long, but, long story short, after doing some calculations, the Ancient Dalamadur's corpse status is realistic if, at minimum, he's about 4-5km long. If anyone could measure the size of the giant dalamadur skull on the surface of the Rotten Vale and the size of a dalamadur head in 4U, we could estimate the length of the Larger Ancient Dalamadur, and, even if it is, like, 1-2km long there are still enough Dalamadur Corpses ( at least 8-9 ) to release enough organic matter to create the coral highlands, I think. If anyone has an actual length tho, I'd be happy to use it, albeit with calculations of how we got to that result.
