2024.05.21 21:53 ClerkZealousideal471 Can an employer sue me for a review

So at my workplace they fired me over some bs stuff but I wanted to put a review for how the company really is and here is that review(ALL IS TRUE): Do you know a company that has intoxicated workers moving heavy equipment putting other people/workers at risk? Do you know a company that has supervisors that get pleasure out of harassing workers/making derogatory comments to them, while others witnesses? Do you know a company despite all of that chooses to fire a worker just because they think that he might leave in the far future(which was clarified he was not)even though he works hard,showed up despite being harassed everyday, right before his vacation, and not intoxicated on job sites. Pffft I know a company Dont get me wrong there some good people despite this, but the people that run it If you want to support a company like this by all means do it, but only if you’re willing support/fund a company that treats people like third world country dogs "the company name here"

2024.05.21 21:53 kmanju5683 My girlfriend being closer to my male friend than me

I (27M) and her (24F) have broken up and it's been more than 5 months now and we were in LDR for 3 years. 3 months before the break up, we went for a trip. We were in LDR and this meet was after 3 months and we both were pretty excited. The place we went was pretty touristic, beaches, aesthetics, vibes, chill etc.
My male friend (27M) lives in the same place where we planned our trip. Me and him know each other since 6 years through same college. At the end of the college we grew closer. He has met my girlfriend once when I made her meet my friends once 2 years ago. Since then they both are familiar with each other, follow each other on social media.
When we started planning the trip, we 3 we're involved in it. We thoroughly planned a 4 day trip, though mostly it was me who planned most of it. I was bearing all my girlfriend's expense as she hasn't started earning yet and still a student.
The trip happened. Throughout the trip, I observed that my girlfriend was hanging out more with him than me, talking more with him than me, was wearing short dresses whenever we 3 were there. I didn't really liked her attitude. According to the plan we were supposed to have drinks on beach side and I love that. But these two said they didn't want to go beach side and we ended up having drinks inside which I didn't really liked. Then the next day, i wanted to do water sports but these two were so drunk that they were not willing to wake up early in the morning. They both firmly said no when I told them we'll go for water sports early in the morning and I was so angry about it, I went to bed angrily. My gf, lying beside me on the bed, asked what's wrong and i sulked. She said are you gonna be okay and I just ignored. She fell asleep. Morning she had woken up early and I was asleep and I found them both talking, having fun conversations and i really felt left out.
My male friend asked her to wake me up and I was so angry about her behaviour I ended up throwing tantrums. And then when I confronted them both about how I badly wanted to do water sports, she told me if I wanted so badly you should have stated that at night so that we could have gone in the morning. After some talks, I let it go.
Then again the next day i found her showing more interest whenever he was involved compared to times when only two of us were there. We two were planning to go somewhere and she was so disinterested but then when I said we'll meet him there, she showed excitement.
Later on once the trip was over, when we talked about it, she told she was finding his vibes good and so she was hanging out more with him and didn't wanted him to make him feel left out by us being lovey dovey couple.
Really? Since when she started caring about his feelings more than mine? Later on she ended up cheating on me by showing interest in some guy in her college and we broke up.
Now am I the asshole for reacting the way I did? Boys, how close is your girlfriend with your guy friends? Do you get insecure or feel left out? I wanna talk about it so that I can have reality check on myself and the situation but we don't talk anymore. even though I can contact her on call, i don't trust her anymore and whatever she says, she'll make it look like she was the right person in all the situations.
So please help me. What do I do if any of my future partners do this again? Feel free to analyse the situation and guide me. Thank you in advance

2024.05.21 21:52 justmadeathrowaway2 Gaslighting & Nitpicking: Hard to tell legit complaints from non-legit ones

Anyone know any good resources for gaslighting and like nitpicking from pwBPD?
I empathize with a lot of stories on here, but mine is more death by a thousand cuts. Just got into another spat and it escalated because my answers weren’t satisfactory.
I can understand their point (they asked for something and I rolled my eyes, totally get it). But I explained that I assumed something in my reaction. They asked me why and I told them I don’t know (because I don’t and would have to to look into myself further to figure out why that’s where I went automatically)
It ended with them saying that it made them feel bad that I didn’t express a plan/ideas for how it wouldn’t happen in the future.
I just…like for one: they make faces and get upset at things then say it’s fine almost everyday. Like it’s so common I don’t even get mad cause I’m legit on their side now of understanding “yeah I felt like that in the moment but I’d need to sit down with myself to figure out why that’s where I went”
So it’s upsetting because I feel like they should understand. Also, it just felt like they were trying to paint it so it was clearly jusadeathrowaway2 = wrong and hurtful and them = right and just trying to talk.
This time the complaint was that I didn’t also give an explanation as to why I didn’t have an answer for how to prevent it moving forward.
This is the main behavior that’s a stressor of our relationship. Honestly they’re fine with most of the other symptoms except for the “my FP said X but I heard Y” thing. Only problem is now I’m the one who’s question if I’m distorting things because they’re telling me I’m not hearing them.
Idk. Any resources on BPD communication? Words, phrases, voice tones, etc.

2024.05.21 21:52 HeartHartHeart Can I be added to a family tree but not have them see my matches or ethnicity?

My mom has done an ancestryDNA test and has some family members added to her family tree. I’ve done one recently and am waiting on my results! However, my dad isn’t my biological father, and it’s an awkward topic that never gets brought up and I’d like to avoid any sort of awkward conversation (especially from my mom’s brother who apparently doesn’t have a problem bringing private things up at family gatherings).
I honestly don’t really know how ancestryDNA records and trees and all that work. I currently have all my settings set to private, but in the future I might like to look for DNA matches on my paternal side. Can I be added to my mom’s family tree without changing my privacy settings? If I’m added to her family tree, and decide to look for paternal side DNA matches in the future, will my mom be able to see those matches? Will anyone else (her siblings, my grandparents) be able to see those matches?
If I’m added to her family tree, will she/her family be able to view my ethnicity breakdown? I’d also like to keep that private.
Ideally, I’d like to be added to the maternal family tree that I know my mom is a part of without any of them being able to see my ethnicity breakdown or any matches on my paternal side. This is mainly for record keeping as I’m more interested in the immigration on my mother’s side anyway, I just really don’t want my mom’s nosy siblings bringing things up. If that’s not possible, that’s fine, I’ll start building my own tree from records and data offline.
Thanks!
(By the way, I have the World Explorer package, if that makes some sort of difference)

2024.05.21 21:51 Atlas-Rising-Up AITA for not wanting to be friends with my new coworker?

I am so sorry for how long this is, but there's quite a bit to cover.
I am a 28F mechanic who works for a rather large dealership in my city. I love my job, I love working on cars, and I love the men that I work with. It's like having an army of brothers that would do anything for me, and I have genuinely never had such a wonderful and supportive workplace environment.
Until "Collin" (26M) started about 6 weeks ago.
Before I start with him, I want to tell you about my "superpower." When I was very, very young, my mother noticed that I had this uncanny ability to detect "bad" people. Even as a toddler, there were certain people I didn't want near me or holding me for seemingly no reason. If they tried, I would scream until they left me alone. If said people tried to pick me up anyway, she'd snatch me away from them and tell them that I said no and to leave me alone. When they'd ask why or push that I "didn't know what [I] wanted," she'd shut them down and say that me not wanting that was reason enough. She's never, ever questioned my "ability" and instead leaned into it and helped me nurture it (especially after certain charges came out about a previous church member that I was uncomfortable around).
Back to Collin. Obviously, that's not his real name, but what is real about him is how... creepy he is. It was evident to me the moment I first met him, but I didn't want to come off as judgemental. My "superpower" has never been wrong, but I have a problem setting boundaries when I'm on the clock because I never want to be the "problem child" for a company. As the only female mechanic, I'm even more aware of that, so I tend to walk on eggshells out of fear of being treated differently.
With Collin, it's a little hard to explain, but to start, he's got personal space issues. As in, I have an issue with how little he respects my personal space. An example: I keep snacks in one of my toolbox drawers for when I and my teammates are too busy to stop and eat a proper lunch. A few days ago, I was bent over and fishing around for a protein bar when I felt him walk up behind me. Of all the angles he could've approached me from, he picked directly behind me and got so close that I felt him brush up against my butt. I immediately shot up and told him to back the fuck up. He tried to play it off as an accident, but I told him, quite loudly, that it's not an accident to sneak up on someone like that and touch them. When he saw a few of my coworkers looking over at us, he quietly made a comment about me overreacting, and walked away.
A few days before that, as I was working on a car, he came up to my toolbox and just took an impact gun. It wasn't mine; I was borrowing someone else's because mine was being repaired. So I stopped him and told him to put it back. He asked me why. This was weird to me because, as far as he knew, it was mine and if I said no, he should've just left it at that. So, I said, "Because it's not yours and I said no. Please put it back." "It's not yours either," is what he said. He tried to walk away with it. At this point, I physically stepped in front of him and said "All the more reason for you not to take it. It isn't mine to lend out. Please put it back." He then asked me if he had a problem sharing. I asked him if he had a problem with respecting boundaries.
Y'all... the look Collin gave me sent chills down my spine. At that moment, he glared at me like my ex did right before he put my head through a wall, and I was actually scared. I swallowed that fear and stood my ground, even though I just wanted to curl up and disappear. He must not be used to people standing up to him because he just sighed in annoyance and slammed the impact down on my bench, then walked away. He, thankfully, avoided me for the rest of the day.
Since those two situations have happened, I've asked for my friend/coworker, "Evan," to make a new group chat for that handful of us that hangout after work because I wasn't comfortable with Collin having access to my phone number. Evan had added him, without asking the rest of us, when they'd gone to a theme park together a few weeks prior. I'd opted out because I didn't want to hang out with Collin, but they used the group chat to communicate plans and such. Evan agreed to make a new group chat so that I feel safer.
Now, finally , the reason I am writing this post is because of what happened yesterday. I may have overreacted? My fiancé thinks I acted well within reason, but sometimes my anxiety makes me believe that I go overboard, even if I'm being perfectly rational. I'm not sure if that's the case here or not.
I caught Collin fishing around in my toolbox. Except, this time, it was the drawer that I keep my purse in. It's not a secret that it's there; every morning when I walk in, my coworkers see me put it in that specific drawer. I used to keep it with the snacks, but the men I work with are a little more old fashioned and won't even go near my purse, so they'd get hesitant when they saw it near the snacks. I moved drawers so they could freely grab food when I was too preoccupied to personally hand them something in order to avoid my purse. It was no bother to do so, but boy did it bother me when I saw Collin huddling over that drawer with my purse in it.
I shouted with my whole chest, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He immediately stood up and started mumbling about needing a certain tool, to which I bombarded him with questions like, "And you were just going to take it? That's not even where any of them are! Why were you going through my purse, you creep?" He couldn't keep up to answer any of my questions, but as far as I was concerned, he wouldn't have been able to come up with a good enough excuse because it's quite well known that that's the place where I keep my personal belongings. It got to the point where I was just yelling at him, and other coworkers had to come pull me away from Collin because I was getting increasingly aggressive. I was so mad, in fact, that I didn't even realize that he was getting aggressive too, and the reason why Evan and "Peter" had to pull me away is because Collin was getting in my face and calling me names. When I try to think about it now, I don't remember hearing that. I was so angry, that all I could really hear was the blood pumping in my body.
I had to sign a write up this morning. Absolutely fair, seeing as how I lost my shit and all professionalism in the workplace. I'm annoyed because this is my first write up, but management needs something to prove they "punished" me in some way for my behavior. What I'm not okay with is Collin telling people that I flew off the handle for no reason. Then this guy has the nerve to approach me today and tell me he forgave me for the way I treated him yesterday and that he hopes we can be friends in the future. I might be the asshole because I told him, calmly, that "I never want to be friends with someone who is so apathetic and disrespectful when it comes to boundaries and personal space" and that I'd appreciate it if he left me alone in the future. Now he's moping and saying I didn't even give him a chance before being a bitch to him.
Am I the asshole? Did I overreact?

2024.05.21 21:51 BrnFish245 An open letter to the advisory board and instructors at the Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR)

To the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and Instructors at the Global Center for Religious Research:
When I first came across an advertisement for the Global Center for Religious Research’s courses, I got excited, especially because the instructors weren’t all old white guys like me. I wanted to get a broad range of experiences. I intended not only to sign up for the courses, but to see whether or not I might be able to offer courses through GCRR in the future. I pictured a future in which I would have a whole new set of colleagues who, like me, treat clients who have experienced religious trauma.
Before buying anything, I decided to join the “Religious Trauma Studies” Facebook group that GCRR is running. It took me less than an hour to become very concerned about the behavior of GCRR and its leader, Darren Slade.
While GCRR’s advertisements give the impression of professionalism and research, Slade himself is traumatizing and even harassing his/your own customers. Do you not see it? Best case scenario: he’ll keep embarrassing you. Worst case scenario: someone (especially if you ever have employees) is going to sue you. If he publicly treats his customers with this much contempt, how will he treat his employees, if he ever gets this business off the ground?
To illustrate, I am attaching several documents printed (customer names redacted) from the GCRR’s “Religious Trauma Studies” Facebook group. It’s messy, but you can go look up the Facebook group and find the originals.
If you’re a therapist, do you not see how much credibility you lose by associating yourself with an organization that mocks your own therapy clients for being triggered and having feelings? And Slade's approach isn't just annoying or unprofessional, it’s aggressive. Surely you can see what I’m talking about? Why are you supporting this guy?
At one point in the attached document (while accusing a woman of being sexist against him for saying he's being sexist), Slade even claims that men are constantly discriminated against just for speaking, and that "oppression and marginalization cut both ways". (About 1/3 of the way down page 3). You are all experts in religious trauma, and I first became interested in GCRR's courses because I saw some women and people of color among the instructors and advisors. Do you, as a group, actually believe that "oppression and marginalization cuts both ways"? Do you believe that racism, sexism, and homophobia oppress and marginalize straight white men just as much as people of color, women, and LGBT people? If so, I'll be warning people away from your whole organization.
Our job is to help people put an end to this kind of abuse, not to perpetuate it. Our job is to help people to recover from their traumas, not inflict more trauma, and certainly not to belittle them for speaking up.
If I had gotten involved without checking out how Slade treats his customers, I'd be embarrassed now, so I'm taking the time to give you the professional heads-up that I would want were I in your shoes.

2024.05.21 21:49 Present-Solution-507 Financial disparities between me and my bf.

I 23F and my boyfriend 23M navigating relationship dynamics amidst financial differences. We’ve been together for almost 2 years. We both are preparing for civil services. He is already working with state govt but the salary is not enough in the long run. I come from a well off family but he comes from a not so well off family. His family’s financial struggles, coupled with his modest income, raise concerns about our future together. He has to support his family financially. He is the loveliest man I’ve ever met. He is caring, mature, compassionate, open minded. It’s bare minimum but given my unpleasant interaction with men on daily basis, I thank my stars for this. We’ve established clear boundaries regarding religious practices and living arrangements.
His family is quite religious so I’ve cleared beforehand that I’m not going to perform any religious rituals or follow any restrictions, he is ok with that. But when I talked about having a different home as I don’t want to live in a joint family setup (although his parents can live with us if they want) but I’m not going to share a house with his brother’s family in future. It’s get very complicated in a joint family as I grew up in a toxic dysfunctional joint family so I don’t want the same situation for my children. He said he is helpless he doesn’t have much money to build a house but he is studying hard to get a good job so that we would live a comfortable life. Initially he said he can only afford to have one child in this economy but I want 2 so he agreed upon this too.
He is too patient with me. We met on twitter, I liked his socio political views and this made me fall for him. We hit it off easily. We met after 1.5 years of talking as I was not sure about us and I was afraid of my family. He patiently helped me to overcome my fears, insecurities. We love each other so much. We have compatibility, healthy communication, mutual understanding, spark each other’s support. Sometimes I feel insecure due to my anxiety issues but he always responds with reassurance that he is so secure with my love.
Recently, I contemplated ending the relationship, fearing the uncertainty our future holds. I asked him to end everything as it’s going to be very complicated. He comes from different caste too though it’s not an issue for us. He said he’s going to fight his family in future if such situation ever befalls. Anything that matters me is our financial security in future. So I asked him to end this ( didn’t say this seriously with the intention to end relationship immediately). Then he said you’re quick to say that, almost as if you’re disregarding my presence. But then he said he respects my practical decision and I’m free to go and wished me luck. Then he cried saying that he has imagined his life with me. He said for the first time in his life he wishes he had enough money so he wouldn’t let me go. Then he recollected himself and said this should not impact my practical decision. I felt so bad, his response left me feeling guilty. Am I being mean? I highly doubt if I ever find such a man given the current scenario of this country. But with him I have to make adjustments.
The only way we would consider getting together is if we both secure good jobs. I’m under constant pressure 24/7, worrying about what might happen if things don’t work out and I don’t find a good job within the next two years. Relatives constantly badger my family, urging them to marry me off soon, as they believe I’m in my prime and won’t find a suitable match later on. Their comments are hurtful. While my mother is very supportive, I can’t stand my extended family or our community. My boyfriend advises me to focus solely on my studies and not to overthink things too much. But I’m not able to find peace amidst this chaos. My mental health is f up. I’m not able to focus on my studies.
Any advice on how to navigate this complex terrain would be immensely appreciated. Please help your sister. Thanks lovelies for reading. 🌸❤️

2024.05.21 21:47 WonderfulSquirrel572 AITA the asshole for threatening to go to HR?

I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy hormones or if I’m just pissed because I already can’t stand this person, but here we are. I need an outside opinion because in the office, most of our colleagues don’t want to get involved (understandable).
I’m six months pregnant. We don’t know the sex of the baby because we want to keep it a surprise. In our culture, there’s a custom where we name our babies after family or close friends who have since died. The idea is that they will gain the good qualities of the deceased with the hope they will gain an interest in who they were and, in a greater scope, our family and cultural heritage.
We want to name the baby after my grandfather, who had a Y name. We’re thinking Yosef for a boy or Yael for a girl.
My coworker Casey thinks I’m doing my future baby a disservice. She thinks I’m an asshole for burdening my child with someone else’s name and that they should have their own name. In addition she keeps bugging me with hypotheticals like what if my child wants to change their name or if they come out as trans. The answer is, either don’t care or the chances of it happen are low that it probably might not happen.
I’ve tried to explain that we’re not naming my baby after my grandfather. They will just share the same initial. Casey doesn’t listen.
Anyway, I’m having lunch when Casey is buggering me about my baby’s name. I tried to shut it down by threatening to go to HR for harassment.
That shut her up for now, but my cubicle mate and a few others in the department think I’m taking it too far when HR has other problems to deal with. I also ask because Casey got really upset with me and begged me not to go to HR, which makes me think there’s more going on I don’t know.
So, AITA?

2024.05.21 21:47 acadiaediting Ask me about leaving academia

In 2019 I left academia for good. I had just had a baby and I was working 7 days a week. I was miserable and utterly burnt out. We didn’t like where we were living and we longed to move back to Maine.
So I did it. I quit! I was riddled with anxiety and felt horrible guilt, but since leaving teaching, I’ve never been happier.
It took some time to find my way, but I fell into copy editing. I spent a few years learning the ropes—and making a lot of mistakes figuring out which companies to work for and which to avoid—and I’m now making DOUBLE what I did as a tenure track assistant professor at a LAC. And I WFH for far fewer hours.
More importantly, I have the true time freedom and flexibility that I was promised in academia and never found there. I pick up my kids from school, take time off when they’re sick, and take vacations where I do ZERO work and have ZERO guilt.
I’m giving a free webinar this Thursday, 5/23, at 12 EST where I’ll explain how I left academia, what academic editing is, and how you can figure out if it’s right for you. I gave the same webinar last week and the attendees said it was like “free therapy” and that I was an “antidote to academia.” 😂
If you’re unhappy, you have options. And they don’t have to involve working 9-5 or making no money. Happy to answer any questions.

2024.05.21 21:47 FreqRL [Build Guide] Buff-barian Earthquake

[Build Guide] Buff-barian Earthquake
I did some research on how the order of buff synergies, because I couldn't find anything about them online. After doing 2-3 short runs to figure out their connecting paths, I figured I'd make a build that uses all buffs (except Haste, because I hate moving too fast).
The result was pretty intense! I managed to get to OL12 without any issue, and was able to facetank it while being AFK (the gif is OL11 but I got to OL12 later on). The run is literally still on-going in the background as I'm typing this guide, so I'm pretty convinced it works.

The Build

Skill selection
Runes
Have an exact selection of skills, combined with the Prowess rune to ensure you have every buff, or a way to synergize into them, made stronger by the Synergetic rune. Combine with Earth skills because Earthquake is easy damage and Earth Shield provides immense healing.

Core mechanics

Contrary to my other builds, the core of this build isn't a particular skill, but rather scaling buffs to such a degree that your stats essentially don't matter anymore. In order to get all buffs, we need to use synergies to get them. The only alternative is to take skill that grant us the buff directly, but that would require an insane amount of Skill Mastery runes.
If we want to get the synergy passives, we must have 2 sources for the "start" buff. For example, if we want the synergy passive that grants Bulwark when we get Finesse, we must have 2 sources of Finesse already. Once you get a synergy passive, that passive now also counts as a source for that buff, so you can daisy-chain them to get more synergies. Additionally, we can get Prowess from a Rune, which also counts as a source for the synergies.
Combining all buffs (except Haste), we can get damage, crit chance, crit damage, multicast, armor and block. We can get those stats to such a high degree, that choosing any of these as an actual reward becomes borderline useless. If you've already got 2000% increased damage, getting +15% as a rare reward doesn't do much anymore.
What remains is cast frequency, (some) multicast, health and experience. We also need a bit of movespeed to make it a bit more comfortable during the earlier levels, but as we'll completely stop moving around OL8, we don't need too much of it either. Even though we also get multicast from the Finesse buff, it's the one buff that we don't have any synergies towards so it doesn't get quite as high as the others.

Breakdown

This skill uses the Unexpected Arsenal rune to allow all weapon-specific skills to be selected freely.
Skill Selection
For the Bulwark (block) and Finesse (multicast) buffs, we use Whirlwind and Double Slash. Double Slash has the added benefit of also applying the Debilitated debuff on enemies, reducing their damage dealt. Since both skills grant both buffs, we immediately apply for both synergies. However, Finesse synergizes into Bulwark, which we already have 2 sources for. Still, more block is never bad, and it provides an extra chance to trigger Bulwark's synergy, which goes into Aptitude (crit damage). This is our only source for Aptitude, so the extra chance to trigger it isn't unwelcome.
Whirlwind is almost exactly the same as Double Slash, just without the Debilitated debuff.
For Prowess (damage) and Resilience (armor), we primarily use Heavy Strike and the Prowess rune. Like previously mentioned, the rune counts as a source of Prowess and allows us to synergize into Resilience. That synergy passive then becomes the second source, allowing us to synergize Resilience into Form (crit chance).
Heavy Strike also applies Bleed, but we don't actually scale it so it doesn't do much in the bigger picture.
To make the build actually deal damage, we include Earthquake, which is one of the highest damaging abilities in the game, due to the Brittle stacks it applies and the Colossal buff.
Brittle stacks on enemies increases the damage of future hits by a flat value. This means that you're better off using a skill that does a ton of small hits, instead of using slow but heavy-hitting skills. Earthquake itself is a skill that does a ton of small hits, which means it both applies a lot of Brittle, and take great advantage of those stacks. Further more, as you get higher level and start casting Earthquake more often, you'll both apply more Brittle and hit more often, which makes Earthquake particularly powerful.
The Colossal stacks provided by Earthquake also make Earthquake itself hit a much bigger area. With enough multicast and skill-chaining, we can get Earthquake to cover pretty much the entire arena. This is another way in which casting Earthquake faster make Earthquake more powerful in general.

An easy second choice for an Earth skill is Earth Shield. Not only does it also provide another source of Resilience to allow us to synergize Form from, it also provides massive amount of healing. With the amount of block and armor this build is already stacking, this healing can make us borderline immune to anything but one-shots if we get enough multicast and skillchaining.

For our 6th and final skill, we use Scent of Blood. We've got a pretty big stack of Finesse building and Scent of Blood is just an easy stack of Cast Frequency. It also creates a feedback loop where we get Finesse stacks from attacking, but Scent of Blood makes us attack faster, resulting in more Finesse stacks, make Scent of Blood stronger, and so on. This makes scaling Scent of Blood slow at first, but once it picks up, it is easily maxxed out.
Do be aware that the Cast Frequency provided by Scent of Blood doesn't apply to Scent of Blood itself. You'll need to scale some skill-specific cast frequency for Scent of Blood, and keep an eye out for any Duration passives as well to get 100% uptime.

Mechanics
Skill-chains
As always, skillchaining is the main way to scale the build, as it allows you to bypass the long cooldowns. The most important one is Swing-to-Earth, since we really need a ton of Earthquake and Earth Shield casts to get end-game damage and healing. Swing-to-Slam is also fine for getting more Prowess and Resilience stacks.
Synergies
Synergies are really what makes this build work. It's the best way of scaling our buffs into the ridiculous amounts. There's not much to be said about them, since they're just passive rewards, but they are on par with some legendary rewards for this build.
Skill Choice
The Earth kills I chose are largely because Earthquake is mega-OP and Earth Shield honestly is as well. You could probably swap them out for Holy skills without losing too much, since they also provide some healing, but I don't think you'll be able to deal as much damage. If you don't mind losing the healing, I doubt there's a skill you couldn't make work with this setup.

Rune choice

https://preview.redd.it/7n2ha8be0u1d1.png?width=368&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4e4c319b8d3f794cd7a214c5b6d6cc30769c593
Versatility Runes:
It's the usual combo of Endless Refill and Reroll Mastery to get easy skills selection, and we need Unexpected Arsenal to get acces to Heavy Strike. I wanted Heavy Strike since it's fast, but it's not a requirement for the build specifically.
You could swap out Unexpected Arsenal for anything you want, but then you need to change Heavy Strike for any other skill that at least grants Prowess. I'd recommend Armor Shatter. It's a bit slower, but it does provide the Shattered debuff, which might be nice.
Tenacity Runes:
The most important one by far is the Divine Legacy rune, which is (in my opinion) easily the best rune in the game. By cleverly saving and using your locks only at every 25th level, you can get 3 legendary passives every 25 levels, which is just crazy. This is probably true for almost every build, so you'll see this section in a lot of my builds.
Synergetic is super important for really getting the most out of the buffs you get from your skills, as is the case for any build that focuses heavily on buff or damaging debuffs.
You need the Battle Proficiency rune for triggering the Prowess into Resilience synergy, but that synergy isn't mandatory for the build to work since Earth Shield already grants Resilience. It's probably the best choice, but you can swap it out as needed.
Critical Mastery is super effective for our build since we can reach around 1000% crit chance at our highest point through Aptitude stacks. That's an easy extra 250% extra crit damage, which is pretty significant.

Stat priorities

These are the priorities for "basic" stats. Skill chain, type-synergies ( like "more damage per ice skill for non-ice skills", and legendary rewards are almost always better.
Prioritize in order:
Buff Synergies
Any buff synergy is good, even those that provide armor or block. Buff Synergies are so good, I personally consider them on-par with several Legendary passives don't do as much for our build (like Physical Damage for example).
Health
It's a bit weird to have Health listed this high, but in reality, we really don't need much else. Our buff provide such insane base stats, that we really don't need to worry about our damage output.
Rest
You might want to get some Cast Frequency or other stats at first to get the build going, but it's really not necesary to overinvest. It might not make your start the quickest, but this is a marathon-build, not a sprinter. Likewise, you'll probably want some movespeed to make dodging easier, but you won't be need to do much dodging in the end-game, so don't go overboard. Increased Experience is honestly pretty good for this build, since most of your power will come from the Legendary skill-chain and multicast passives and boosting Scent of Blood to get your cooldowns lower.

That's the build!

It's not very suprising that stacking a ton of buffs would result in a killing machine, but I didn't quite expect to be so unkillable. This was definitely one of the more fun builds to do, since I had to figure out which buffs synergize to what and which skills to take to get the daisy-chain started effectively.
In the GIF that I linked at the start of this post, I actually did the build semi-wrong, since I didn't take the Prowess rune (even though I intended to at the start). I only later noticed that it was missing, and only then found out that Earth Shield also provided Resilience, so that was pretty lucky for me. Fortunately, you guys have this build so you don't need to make the same mistake I did :)
If you haven't seen it, please have a look at my previous build, the Conflagrate Barbarian.

2024.05.21 21:46 SherewZino Something is missing in part 2

70 chapters in part 2 already and seems almost nothing happened, while in part 1 a LOT of shit happened and a LOT of character growth, while in part 2 everything seems more static, the falling devil arc is the only arc I felt shit was happening, and the chapters where Barem burned Denji house I thought that was the moment where shit was going to skyrocket fast, but now we are stuck in sushi filler arc
But pacing isn't the biggest problem, as I think part 2 will be much larger than part 1, so there is time for more things to happen, the thing that part 2 really is lacking is characters
In part 1 we had a wide cast of interesting character who had their own objectives and interactions with the world
Makima (main antagonist): Just perfect Power, Aki (deuteragonists): Very well written, had character arcs and a relation to Denji
Himeno: Well written, her character arc was important for Aki's growth and affected Denji too
Kishibe: Important for both Denji and Power growth, also a fucking interesting character too
Angel, Violence, and all the fiends: More depth to the csm universe, and interacted with the other characters too
And part 1 had a lot of minor characters that gave the idea that the world was alive, they interacted with eachother and with the protagonist, also the arc antagonists (katana man, akane, reze, quanxi, santa claus) were interesting too
But in part 2 this seems to happen way less, almost everything is only about Asa (Yoru) and Denji, the other characters dont seem to have much depth or we dont have enough time with them, most are almost forgetable
Asa, Yoru, Denji: Protagonists, well written
Fami: Main antagonist?? She lacks aura, but this can be changed in the future, no one knows
Nayuta: One of the few side-characters who have impact, she has a set relationship with Denji
Yuko: Interesting, but I kinda forgot about her quickly, very quickly tbh
Yoshida/Fumiko: Interesting side characters, but they lack something Quanxi: Her appearances in part 2 feels odd, almost like an Ex-Machina (she was better in part 1) I think the things that part 2 lacks are characters with aura, and characters who have great impact, is kinda difficult to remember some of them, also a clear objective makes part 2 kinda confusing, without any direction, but I trust in Fujimoto

2024.05.21 21:46 Sensitive_Post7030 Romance scam or no?

I 30 m Swede decided one day roughly two months back I wanted to brush up on my Spanish. I went out on a language exchange app called Speaky and while for the most part the experience was miserable I started talking to a pleasant mexican woman (30). Initially my intentions were purely to learn Spanish, and we had good fun showing small tidbits of our every day life to each other.
She quickly asked to switch to whatsapp, which typically is one of those red flags which you read on every romance scam article. I however didn't mind much because Speaky was full of sleazy eggplant emojis and accounts asking for hookups as well as bots. Besides, at this point I my headspace was that I would never meet this person anyways. There we were chatting as well as doing some video calls. We quickly started chatting every day.
But of course there's more to this story otherwise I wouldn't be writing here. She came across as lightly flirty and I just figured it was good fun and didn't mind (again, I was never supposed to meet this woman). However, things evolved into more explicit proclamations of romantic interest from poth parties involved (another red flag due to the short time that has passed). She also starting sending these really cute messages to me on the regular which I initially thought nothing of but now might consider lovebombing (third red flag).
Eventually talk went to the idea of me going to visit her (Figured I'd do the traveling since I'm from a wealthier country.) That's when, roughly two weeks back, my warning bells went off and all these suspicions came rushing all at once. And I directly confronted her about them.
Now this far down it might seem like a dead ringer for a romance scam, but there is more to it. She has showed me pictures from her university she studied at which seem legit as well as images from her work. She has a substantial amount of followers on social media with certain videos reaching millions of viewers (and from what I've seen no bitter person accusing her of being a scammer or not either). She claims she's from a well off family with roots from Spain and even Germany which she sent me images of. She even sent me photos of an ID (which frankly made me uncomfortable) with the same last name as some of those old (supposedly) family pictures. She has never asked me for money either which she did point out.
This soothed me and perhaps rashly I bought tickets to Mexico shortly after. We continued talking and had fun chatting. After some time we also engaged in some explicit video call activity as well as send NSFW pics to each other. Quite quickly we also talked of future plans (which makes sense if it was legit since just visiting each other would take a big investment) and we both stated we wanted something long term with children and marriage and the whole deal with the idea of her moving to Sweden if all would work out (which could be construed as another red flag as supposedly traditional family warnings is also sign).
I had up to this point mentioned it to a few friends but not to my mother. When I finally did tell her she INSTANTLY went to the idea of it being a scam (she might also be the most cynical person I know). Some time later I worked up the courage (I didn't want her to dislike my mother) to tell my Mexican friend of my mother's reaction and we talked about what we could do about it and decided on me showing my mother what had already been shown to me as well as have them having a video call so my mother could ask questions directly. I talked with my mother and it was decided, however as the day approached my mother said she felt too uncomfortable with idea of the video call so instead she and just had a long talk about the risks both of Mexico in general and romance scams. She painted quite a gruesome picture (she's quite good at it). She also had some questions to send to my Mexican woman.
Passport, home adress, name of her company. She also suggested for me to reverse image search the photos I had been sent, which I did (I just got the social media pictures to no big surprise). She also wanted me to ask for me and my mexican friend to instead meet in Spain as that had been mentioned between us and it would be neutral ground.
Being the mama's boy that I am I obliged. To which my mexican friend got upset, now whether that is from justified disappointment due to my distrust or from manipulation I cannot tell, and she was not keen on traveling to Spain (we had also been talking about my visit to Mexico for a while now), atleast not now, initially. She did however send me photos of her passport and home adress.
She asked what I thought of it all and I said I wasn't sure. It ended with a quite cold conclusion that I needed time to mull things over.
If you've read this far I thank you, wholeheartedly.
Now I sit here with a ticket to mexico (if it isn't used I will consider it an expensive life lesson). A mother who considers Mexico to be the most dangerous place in the world (and me partly agreeing) - my stay would be in CDMX which I've heard is relatively safe.
If I were to travel to Mexico what would be the risks, would they be greater from her knowimg of my coming or they as great if I just traveled alone as a nordic man?
Any other thoughts? Is this a romance scam or not?
Thanks.

2024.05.21 21:45 Lucythedamnned Thankful for my partner

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second child. I had my first at 19 with my ex and while I don't blame my ex at all (we were practically kids ourselves) this pregnancy has made me aware of all the support I didn't receive the first time around and I am just so thankful to be with my current partner. My partner has been incredible throughout my pregnancy between being there for me through the mood swings and cravings and changes in my body. Lately though it has really struck me how truly loved I am. I've been struggling more and more with basic self care tasks, mostly due to going off my ADHD and depression meds. My mental health has been manageable for most of this pregnancy but has slowly gotten more difficult. One big struggle of mine is showering, it often feels like a monumental task so I opt for taking a bath to get clean. Baths are better than nothing but never leave me feeling truly clean and makes it difficult to clean my hair. A few weeks ago I was venting to my partner about how frustrating/hard it is to struggle with such a basic self care task and he off-handedly asked "would it be easier if I helped?" I kinda laughed it off at first since I thought he was being cheeky but he pressed and said that he can't grow our baby but he can help take care of me. So a new routine has been born. Every few days we hop in the shower together and this angel of a man lovinging washes conditions and combs through my hair while reminding me how much he loves me and how beautiful I am. It is the single most intimate non-sexual thing I have ever experienced, I literally melt every single time. I'm just so thankful everyday to have such a wonderful partner in my life and I needed to gush about it somewhere and here seemed like the perfect place!

2024.05.21 21:45 Monika_0101 I am starting to hate men, and I don't want to.

Seeing all those men (sometimes woman too) mocking about raping someone, or rape jokes, "joking" about being a pedophile, makes me wanna puke. I don't wanna think all men are like that, of course they are not. They are nice ones I meet and I don't hate them. But most of them, while I think of men, I can't help but literally just scream because of anger, even my male real life friends once or twice jokes about rape. Why is this so funny to them? Why when I reject a man, I get dead threads? Why are some men like that? Why do they deny they don't bring most woman uncomfortableness but they DO. Why do they harass woman in online or real life? Acting like it's woman's fault to not want them when they have every right to choose bad man. Why do they always say "why woman choose bad man??" But once they are the second choice they abouse the other woman. Why some of them only think about sex? Why some of them touch woman and even man even if they don't want to? I got rape threads so many times in front of a teacher or boss, and all of them were male. They just laughed. None of them took it seriously, when the other men were still talking about how to rape me and kill me after as a "joke"?
I just wanted to say these. I know not all men are bad, as I said I have good male friends I often talk. They are nice human beings. But some other men are not, and seeing them acting so emotional for saying no for example makes me wanna scream because of anger. They mostly act like babies and still blame us for being emotional. Have a good day, if you are a good men yourself, please don't take this offensive. this is not towards you but to those who are bad.

2024.05.21 21:45 Important_Ad_4751 Clock schedule vs WW? EMW with clock based schedule question.

I posted a couple days ago about switching to a 2 nap schedule (baby will be 7 months on Friday) and he seems to have taken to it well. We’re averaging between 9.5-10 wake hours most days (goal is a 3/3.25-3.5/3.5-3.75 depending on nap lengths but he’s teething so some days one may be a little shortelonger depending on temperament).
At what point does it make sense to switch to a clock based scheduled vs WW schedule? For example could we switch to a clock schedule like this now or is it too soon? With WW most days end up basically being a clock schedule anyways since I try to keep wake times and WW the same.
Rough schedule: 7-7:15 am: wake 10-11:30-11:45: nap 1 3-4:30-4:45: nap 2 8 pm: bedtime
There may be a 15 minute fluctuation either way on those but have we essentially gotten on a clock based schedule? If he wakes up early (ie between 5:30 and 6) and I can’t nurse him back to sleep until wake time do we just throw the whole day away and try and follow WW or try and push through to a 10 am nap?

2024.05.21 21:45 hunterc1310 Notes from Mike Straw's CFB 25 stream

-Option offenses received a ton of attention (new animations, tons of efficiency and speed) *could be OP*
-You will notice when you use a 2 star player against a 5 star player (5 star players apparently feel different)
-Wear & Tear matters a ton in longer games. You'll be able to tell by how he plays if a player isn't receiving proper rest.
-Online Dynasty will not be cross play *this* year. It is something they want in the future
-Gameplay and the core dynasty experience was a big focus for this game
-Mascot mode likely NOT in the game this year
-Deep dives coming soon *possibly this week*
-Madden and CFB 25 on same engine, but the developer have done a lot to make CFB 25 feel different than Madden.
-CFB 25 will play much faster than Madden
-Many new animations for CFB 25. "Plenty of new catch animations"
-POSSIBLE THAT HELMETS COULD GET KNOCKED OFF

2024.05.21 21:44 Ipvp4fun Advice

Hey everyone.
I'm 17 years old, turning 18 in July.
I feel kind of lost right now. I get that it's hard for 99% of the people that just turn " 18 " and are " just " entering life and learning the hardships, I've always been aware of these and prepared. I love working, like genuinely love it and spend 24/7 wanting to work.
I just don't know what or where.
So, a little " picture " of me. I was hit by a car back in 8th grade, I don't remember exactly what age that is. In result I was in the hospital for 4 months, had to " re-learn " how to walk since my body had technically forgotten it since I hadn't walked for so long. And this affected what I could do for a couple of years, and I kind of sometimes find it hard to "memorize" stuff. I had broken my left leg, spine, nose and my skull. Worst part was the skull, had to get a VERY risky operation, which thank God it went great and now I've got a very " cool " big ol' scar on my head lol. I was very sporty, I loved sports and wanted to pursue " fighting " sports such as mma and grappling as I got older, so like the age that I am now. But since this happened, Sports & MOSTLY those sports came out of the picture. I used to be a really good b'bal player, I was always put up with people 4-5 years older than me, but stupidly I was " shy " of how skinny I was. Anyways, I was SUPER skinny, and I hated that so much. And I'm basically an ectomorph, no matter HOW much I eat I genuinely don't get fat. So, I put my mind to it, ignoring what the doctors said and started working my ass out. And now, I'm much better, don't feel anything related to the accident. My head just feels a little overwhelmed when let's say I run constantly for like 5+ mins. Anyways, now I'm very very very pleased with my body. It's quite the " dream " body for my age.
I know you might be thinking what in the fuckery does this have to do with me asking for advice about " work ", I'm basically trying to tell you that if I put my mind to something nothing stops me. I don't need "motivation" to pursue something, all I need is the " start " and I just chase till finish. And That is how it is for me, 99% of the time the start is hard for me.
I guess I'm good with languages. I speak Armenian, Persian, English and a little Russian // Spanish (Can get them both to an advanced level if I find the " need " for it) & I started learning French, because I'm going to go to a French UNI and I wanted a HeadStart compared to the other students, but my mom kind of shut me down and said why are you wasting your time learning a "language" when they're going to teach you that from scratch. Instead learn something actual (she was referring to programming). I mean yeah, I guess I agree with her, since I don't know anything for the "future" to work. But anyways in no way do I want a job in anything related to languages (Like a translator etc...)
I was 15-16, I worked as a logistics operator and was able to make $1600 in a month. But the market kind of died, so did the office, so I stopped, then I focused on my exams for UNI and I'm accepted now. I will be studying Marketing, but probs will switch to Business on my 2-nd year. I have plans to get a Master's degree as-well. Either the opposite of what I study (so If I get a bachelor's in marketing, I'll go for a master's in business or if I have enough finances to pay for it myself, I'll go for CS).
So now, after I've finished everything, School exams done, UNI has been applied // accepted to and I'm just " getting " into life I'm worried day and night about work. I feel like I genuinely don't know anything to find a work for or just in general don't know anything. And I know people say there is so so much time ahead of you, you're still young and you'll find it. But I don't want to waste a single second, since each second can be spent studying or even better working.
I am decent at forex trading; I am able to make decent profit (demo account obviously) and have general knowledge of the market and know how it works basically. Of course there is still much to learn, like anyone in any field. My dad works as a trader as-well. See this is something that I enjoy, but I can't have this as a " main " job. It will be something on the side, and I need to have another MAIN source of income to be able to grow my account and get decent profit. Anyways as I mentioned that 1.6k I've got saved, I'm going to be opening an account at like $300 and I can see me making decent money from it, but still as I said that's not going to be a main " field" or "job" I don't know the word.
That's basically all that I "know" or am good at.
I talk to my mom, asking her to help // guide me. She keeps on saying programming, go become a programmer (saying this person makes tons, that person pays for her whole family and has tons of money for himself etc...). I know programming is an amazing job, mostly pay-wise, but I just don't enjoy it. I ask her to give me an idea for something else, I don't enjoy this and sarcastically she says go become a barber or a server or something. It's quite irritating because my sister has just finished her master's degree (she's 22) and makes good money, and she looks " down " at me, treats me like she's "higher?", ha-ha.
So currently, for the past week I've been studying programming (Python to be exact), and I guess I can see me finding a junior position during August or September probably. But as I mentioned, I don't really enjoy this. It's just not my thing I guess, writing stuff on and on and on all day is eh... to me.
I'm a person who genuinely loves working, just need guidance. Also, another reason why I'm so EAGER to just " jump" into life and start ACTUAL work, is because I want to get myself a car (fully paid by me) and much more stuff on my bucket list.
Sorry if this is stupidly long and half of this is just " pointless " but I guess I'm ranting and trying to get advice.
Thank you if you read all of this,
Kindly put down thoughts!
Best Regards.

2024.05.21 21:43 LooseStory6568 Vaginal birth success stories ?

Anyone who has HSV2 successfully given birth and did not pass it to baby?
Will the doctors push me for a C section even if I am not having an outbreak? What is the chance I will pass this onto my baby?
For reference I’ve only gotten like 3 outbreaks and it’s been over a year. The outbreak location is by my butt , not my vag, not sure if that makes a difference
Sorry if I sound ignorant, I’m really not educated on this topic . Feel free to provide any insight on this topic

2024.05.21 21:43 DeadGripThe2nd I'm tired, something needs to change

I used to play this game a lot a month or two ago. I still want to, I'm telling myself that the only reason it's not installed on my computer is because the drive Helldivers was installed on gave out. I want to believe that, but there is an undeniable feeling of tiredness I have that's been slowly building over time, and it's not just the game itself. I've just lost the energy and passion I had about this game and the excitement I had engaging with the community in the past.
I can't really deny that the game got stale after a while for a lot of different reasons. There's a lot of bugs, the weapon variety is still almost identical to how it was in early-April, the gameplay loop itself just got repetitive, and all my friends stopped playing it late-April because they were also exhausted. There's a long road to making the game better and it's going to take months, and I'm not sure I have it in me to care about what happens between now and then anymore.
I can't in good conscience blame the game itself, this community is also just exhausting to engage with. For every legitimate critique, concern, or comment made by someone in this community, there's a hundred other angry, spiteful, vitriolic, exhausting ones made by people who also don't care what happens at this point either. It's draining to care about a community when the community you care about is just bad to be in and sucks the passion out of you.
I'm tired, something needs to change. I hope the future of this game is better so that people in my shoes return to it at some point. It's going to take a lot of effort that I just don't have in me anymore.
