2024.05.21 22:34 LexxitReddit Chappell Roan is going to be so good
Just saw her in Charleston, SC last night and it was one of the best live shows I (41m) have ever seen. 100% of the crowd screaming their heads off to every song.
I know a lot of people on this sub have mentioned it's a crime that she will be in a tent, which I agree with, but last night made me realize it's also a shame that she's going on so early-- her live show is LOUD. Sunset would be a better time slot for Roo.
But wherevewhenever she plays, it's going to be amazing. I loved every minute.
Happy Almost Roo!

2024.05.21 22:28 Mysterious_Post813 Thoughts on my homebrew The Bunker blueprint, or at least what i got so far?
The game opens with constant gunfire and artillery shells bursting, the sound of men yelling as gunfire stifles the darkness of the night. We focus in on a platoon of troops in a foxhole, like lightning a shell hits close to, wiping out most of the men. As the ringing of the remaining ears clear they realize they need to retreat as they can no longer stay in the tight, cramped, flooded hole they've found themselves in and the only way back is up.
Every player must roll a d10, the player with the lowest role finds a piece of wood stuck within their leg, not bleeding but obstructing the ability to run without help, the players decide to deal with the issue there and then or deal with assisting the injured player in the retreat to try and fix it in a safer location.
As the players leave the foxhole a machine gun fire begins to target the group
Triggers a sequence
Flairs shoot lighting up the battlefield as you hear a whistle from the enemy blows They're crossing no man's land.
This sequence where the players must make a 200-250yd dash for a trench behind the foxhole.
Players take priority in turn rotation
-a critical success allows them to run uninhibited
-a regular success causes equipment to get snagged on barbed wire causing them to get slowed
-a failure causes you pouches or bags to rip dropping a small amount of ammunition
-a critical failure causes you to get cut by barbed wire dealing 1d4 damage
Players carrying injured role with penalty die
On the machine guns turn roll to full auto at players but role with triple penalty dice due to multiple shots, out of range, and fast targets. You can decide volley size and damage per shot, BE NICE it's just the beginning
Once all players have made it across no mans land they will arrive at the door of a rather large bunker, they bang on the door and request assistance. After a bit of pleas a slot on the large door opens with a bun barrel sticking out. A rather shooken young man asks the players to tell him “where are you from” clearly trying to see if the players are enemies. A player can say anything but the second the man hears perfect english or french he swings open the door. The players see a young man with a shotgun, couldnt be over 20 years old. He commands the players to get in fast. As all the players enter he immediately goes to slam the door shut seeming to struggle to do so.
You meet Bert Newman a strapping young man from new york a very charming quick witted kid, he's always there to boost morale and is always ready to get work done. Its best to slowly show off his personality with small talk while he leads you down the winding halls.
After a few turns and twists you arrive at a sort of check point with a man with a british bren gun points his barrel down the hall, directly at Bert and the players.
You meet Rook a very large man sporting a very clean uniform, he seems concerned and Isn't too welcoming to the new residents, hes a harsh with his words, and presents himself as no nonsense, he does have a soft spot for Bert, able to handle his constant cracks and stories. I recommend making some dialogue for them to have every now and then to show their relationship.
After the players are done interacting have rook notice the player with the injury if it hasnt been taken care of he’ll direct the players to go to the infirmary to get fixed up. Have Bert offer to show them where to go. On the way to the infirmary try to keep engaging with the players as Bert
As the players arrive they will notice a large room with a few injured men, a very poor sight to behold. Once you arrive at the entrance you will meet a beautiful young lady dressed in a nurses gown
This is Louise, say hi to Louise :D. A pretty woman with a caring face, but with a hint of concern and fear.
She welcomes you and immediately notices the protruding fragments sticking out of the injured player, she looks back up and tells them to take a seat. The players can interact with Bert more, with each other, or Louise. Try to have Bert and Louise interact if you can, they are great friends.
After the player is patched up they can leave. They can follow Bert back to rook where Rook will give you the task to retrieve barbed wire from the armory as they want to start adding more defenses for the door incase of being invaded. Bert will again offer to guide the players
You begin your journey to the armory, once again try to interact if you can, mention what could have brought Bert to the war and his family. At a certain point Bert will trip a grenade wire trap, everyone roles a dex or dodge role. Bert is killed in the blast anyplayer that fails gets knocked to prone, you can determine if they were close enough to take damage. After all the dust clears the players see Bert's body slumped against a wall lifeless,they can't save him. If the players decide to search him they will find a mostly burnt map of the bunker, some ammo for a shotgun and a letter addressed to what you can assume is his family.
If the players continue to go and retrieve the barbed wire they will get a chance to change their weapons if they choose. As they return they notice Bert’s body is now gone, with a blood trail leading around an separate hallway

2024.05.21 22:22 Complex_Foundation33 Carbon Credit Update: dynaCERT (TSXV: $DYA) Adds Dr. James Tansey as Director to Support Upcoming Carbon Credit Program
Big news coming from dynaCERT ($DYA) - they've just brought Dr. James Tansey on board as a director, and it's a move that's poised to support their upcoming Carbon Credit program. This appointment will greatly benefit $DYA as Dr. Tansey brings decades of expertise in carbon markets, clean technology, social acceptability of novel technologies, impact investing and social innovation.
Dr. Tansey has an impressive track record. He’s been a driving force behind major carbon credit initiatives, having established one of the largest carbon market development companies in Canada. In addition, his impact extends globally. He played a pivotal role in establishing two of the largest forest carbon projects in the world: the Great Bear Rainforest and Mai Ndombe in the DRC. Also, he's even been involved in pioneering projects like developing carbon credits for the world's first carbon-neutral Olympics.
$DYA's Carbon Credit Background:
dynaCERT has recognized the potential of carbon credits as a strategic asset. The company aims to incentivize businesses to adopt its emission reduction technologies by issuing carbon credits to end-users.
$DYA took significant steps towards this goal. In 2021, it secured Verra VCS Methodology approval, a crucial milestone in aligning its practices with industry standards. Subsequently, in November 2023, the company received a final Assessment Report from Earthood, confirming its compliance with Verra's standards. Now, $DYA is in the final stages of obtaining VCS certification, and once this is received, the company will be able to issue carbon credits.
A key aspect of dynaCERT’s strategy involves leveraging its proprietary HydraLytica™️ Telematics platform to facilitate the conversion of CO2 emissions. This platform provides a robust mechanism for monitoring fuel consumption and calculating GHG emissions savings. The best part is that $DYA plans to share some of the tangible benefits of carbon credits to its end-users, demonstrating its commitment to fostering sustainable practices and driving positive environmental impact.
With Dr. James Tansey joining the board, dynaCERT is poised to further enhance its Carbon Credit program, leveraging his expertise and experience to accelerate progress towards a greener future.

2024.05.21 22:20 aita_shlongushubby Am I (28M) wrong in this situation with my wife (30F)? She bends over backwards for her sister (26F) and went behind my back to help her illegally immigrate to the US.
I’m gonna lay out the whole context here, and it’s 2 years long so bear with me. A TL;DR isn’t really possible as there’s so much important context to whether or not IATA.
We’ve been married almost 10 years and she’s from overseas. She came here through our marriage. We were happy and doing extremely well for ourselves.
The problem started to 2 years ago. My friends wedding. Afterward we went out and then went to another friends house to continue partying. At the party one of the wedding guests started having a pity party about how he’s depressed because all these happy couples are around and he’s single.
For context. This guy is weird. He’s disrespectful to women, capitalizes on captive audiences (waitresses most often), and is overall a loser. He’s got a good job but that’s about it.
My wife, listens to his sob story and says “I have a sister!” and immediately starts FaceTiming her sister. This is something I’ve said isn’t okay. We’re not tinder, and we’re not matchmakers.
Beyond that her sister has a history of treating her poorly. She constantly told my wife she’s stupid growing up, well into adulthood. She blocked my wife for a whole year because my wife called her and told her not to go on boats with men she doesn’t know. Told my wife to live like she doesn’t have a sister. For a whole year I consoled my wife a couple times a week.
Anyways we were both drunk and with people so I’m not gonna start a fight right there. I figure I’ll talk to her about it maturely later. So I do. In the meantime, I switch to speaking Arabic with her sister and tell her this isn’t okay and isn’t what she wants.
Her and my wife to this day claim I was happy and supportive. They claim I was too drunk to remember. But there’s a few things wrong with this. I drove home, I take drinking and driving VERY seriously and would never, ever do it. In fact, if I know I’ve drank too much, I’ll hand my keys to a friend before the liquor starts hitting, just to avoid any possibility of making that bad decision.
Secondly, I switched to Arabic. I’m white. Arabic is a language I learned. When I speak it, I speak it very, very deliberately and remember the conversations perfectly. I know exactly what I said.
Anyways, when I talk to my wife later, I’m told how it’s wrong to prevent her from helping her sister and how her sister really likes this guy. A guy she talked to for 5 minutes. I told her it’s wrong to think of it as “helping” her sister in the first place and that her sister is a grown woman who can find her own partner.
So my wife says “okay I’ll tell my sister to stop talking to him”. That was the end of it. Or so I thought.
A few weeks later I’m at a different event and this guy let it slip they’re still talking. Immediately I’m upset and text my wife about how she lied to me.
She said her sister was really falling in love with this guy and separating them would be wrong. She said she did tell her sis to block him but when her sis went into a depression she told her she can unblock him and talk to him, behind my back.
Upset I told her we need to talk about going behind my back and how disrespectful of my boundaries this whole ordeal was. She said “it’s okay I’ll tell her to block him again”.
Over. Or so I thought for the next few months. A few months later I again am at an event with this guy and this time he’s smart enough to lie about them talking. But I’m a salesman and a bullshitter. You can’t bullshit me unless I trust you. I knew immediately he was lying but I let it go. I did ask my wife and she said no they’re not talking. So I believed her.
Well, a year and a half goes by. In that time her sister and her fought about how her sister could come to the US. We said we’d help her but it’s a lengthy process. At the time I had little animosity toward her sister and would’ve loved to see her come here and be near my wife again. She wasn’t happy with that and said it takes too long. This is her sister’s mindset.
Anyway. Her sister gets a B1 visa in the meantime, temporary business visitor and wants to come visit my wife. Lies through her teeth about her intentions to the immigration officer, telling them she wants to stay 90 days. They approve her for 60.
So we file for an extension ASAP so she can visit for 3 months. Staying with us the whole time. I wanted her to have fun on her visit so I arrange for my friends and I to go out. This guy shows up. She talked to him and told him our plans.
Immediately they disappear into the casino and come back holding hands and all kinds of PDA. I’m fuming because I know she’s a conniving word I won’t say here. I don’t say anything though and we go through the night and I let it go so I can have fun.
The next day he’s picking her up from my house and they’re out for the whole day. The next time my wife is off work, same story. Well, I thought you were here to visit her? And that’s where I put my foot down.
I got told it was wrong to try and control her, wrong to try and separate them, etc. etc. etc. Finally she blocks his number and he calls from a separate number. I turn off her SIM card because I’m not gonna support her going behind my back in my own home. He calls me and tells me he really loves her and just wishes I’d accept it.
I tell him very plainly I will never, ever accept it because it all stemmed from him, her, and my wife going behind my back. Primarily my wife, as she’s the only one of the three I should be able to trust is telling me the truth.
At this point, I feel as if my wife had an emotional affair, although it’s with her own family. She repeatedly chose to go behind my back, against a boundary I had told her repeatedly before this situation at my friend’s wedding after party ever transpired. If that’s not an emotional affair, I don’t know what is.
So I tell him bluntly to not call me anymore and I’m not going to change my stance, and his feelings don’t mean shit to me. He started to give me a sob story about how we’re friends and he I should be happy for him and I cut him off and told him to save his breath.
My wife is upset at me for how I talked to him. Another emotional affair. Trying to protect the feelings of this dude.
The next day, while my wife is at work I’m eating lunch at our dinner table and studying schoolwork her sister comes to the table and starts talking to me about this guy asking if I talked to him and I tell her plainly I did and what I told him.
She goes into a story about how she really loves him, she’s an adult woman and I shouldn’t be intervening etc. I told her I agree I shouldn’t ever have been involved and neither should my wife. I told her to save her breath with any talk of her feelings because I don’t care. She started crying telling me I’m cruel etc.
I told her at this point I’m done being nice. I’ve been lied to for 2 years and it’s over. I’m done being my laid back self and I’ve been pushed repeatedly and I’m standing up for my marriage and my boundaries.
I did turn her SIM card back on so she could call my wife and I, her hosts.
The next morning I wake up to my wife in tears calling me to her sisters room. Her sister is bawling her eyes out and packing her bags to go home. I talk her sister into coming for a car ride with my wife and I to talk things out.
Immediately in the car my wife starts berating her sister about how she’s selling her for a man and a whole host of other things. I calm my wife down and tell her that’s not okay to say to her sister. Because against what they thought I don’t want and would’ve never wanted this to cause a separation between them. I know how much my wife values family.
In the car her sister tells me she really loves this guy and that she can see them being a family one day etc. etc. etc. I tell her plainly don’t ever bring him around my house, if they do marry and have kids, don’t ever bring them around my house, and don’t consider me her brother in law because I will never do anything for her again after she goes home.
My wife is shocked, she’s shocked and they both wonder how I could be so cruel. I said I’m over it. I’m over hearing about this guy, I’m over being used, and I will never again trust her. She said she understands and resumes talking to this guy.
A few days later we’re in the car going to a family event with my family and I get asked if he can come. I said no, very politely. I said no, he’s not part of my family. I was told how terrible I am, and my wife and her sister both jump out of my car in a bad part of Chicago, an area neither of them know.
My wife calls my family and tells them I kicked them out of the car. So my family starts blowing up my phone screaming at me. Once I explained the situation my family said they’ll come pick them up but I hung around and kept driving by to make sure they were okay. Eventually my wife calls me and says they’ll get in.
So I pull over and they open the doors and my wife goes “I’m scared I don’t feel comfortable getting in the car with you”. So I drive away pissed off. This is a 85,000 car in a bad part of the city where carjackings happen every other day.
I go park somewhere but keep an eye on them to make sure they stay safe. A homeless guy passed them and my wife calls me to come get her. So I do and we go home.
Again her sister packs her shit and cries that she’s going home. I tell her to relax, sleep on it and we’ll talk in the morning. She does eventually and in the morning she decides she’ll stay.
A week goes by and I hear nothing about this guy from her. My friends and I all joked about him and made light fun of him. He caught wind of it and cried to my wife’s sister who told my wife, who came to me and aggressively told me to stop and leave them both alone. I got pissed off because this was a private convo between me and my friends and if he heard it and got his feelings hurt it’s on him.
This spiraled into a huge argument with me, my wife, and her sister. In the argument I asked her sister plainly if she planned to leave at the 90 day mark. She said no.
So I kicked her out of our house. Her and my wife went for a walk and I yelled out the front door to get her shit to the curb before the walk before I do, because if she doesn’t do it herself it’ll be thrown on the wet ground. They both thought I was joking before then I assume. Her sister comes in and packs her stuff and gets out. I said if you plan on staying here illegally it won’t be in my house. If the choose is between here or the streets, it’ll be the streets.
She went to stay with the boyfriend and his parents. His parents must not have liked her too much because within a couple weeks they made them both move out.
This was in January of this year.
Since then, I’ve been repeatedly goaded into accepting this. My wife has tried to get me to visit her sister, etc.
It came to a head recently at a wedding we went to for another friend. Her sister and this guy were there. I didn’t say a word to either one the entire night and all was fine.
Except my wife spent the whole night at their table because he wouldn’t dance or do anything to have fun. She can’t handle the idea that her sister might find something she doesn’t like about this guy. She has to be there just in case the relationship goes on life support.
This pisses me off, obviously. She’s more invested in their relationship than she’s been in ours for the past 2 years. Grown adults.
Well, today she was going to her sisters house. She had 2 bags. An ulta bag and a discovery bag. I asked what that is, and she said it’s for her sister. She pulled out taco shells and said it’s just small stuff she wants her to try. But I could see through the bag and saw beauty products. I’m not an idiot.
I looked in when she went to the bathroom and saw a fucking armoire full of shit. I looked at the receipt. $300. I was fucking livid.
I continued getting ready for work and said “her husband can’t buy her that?”. It’s confrontational, yes. But I said it politely, and was open to talking about it.
I get met with immediately hostility. I never raised my voice but I made it very clear I wasn’t being nice about this or anything anymore.
I told her “maybe she could pay you back and find you a new husband”. I’m going to give her a choice. Me or her sister now. Because this has gotten fucking ridiculous.
We pay for her to come here. She hired an immigration lawyer apparently, but doesn’t have money to pay me back for the flight or even pay for the Ubers they take or anything. My wife is trying to make up for this losers shortcomings. He’s too much of an idiot to see that her sister is using him.
By the way, this isn’t her first fiance. It’s not even her first western fiance. She’s been engaged to at least 3 different guys. One from France, another from Belgium, and a third from Canada before this guy. She was looking to immigrate. He’s a fucking idiot though so, oh well.
My wife’s sister is very materialistic. My wife is fortunately down to earth but is so far up her sisters ass because she thinks if she doesn’t do everything her sister wants that her sister will cut her from her life again. Which is exactly what would happen.
I told her that’s on her sister. I’m not asking her to never talk to her sister. I’m asking her to stop treating her sister like she’s a child and putting their relationship before ours. Stop bending over backwards for a grown woman who will throw you away the moment you’re inconvenient.
But it’ll never happen it seems and it’s the reason I’m strongly considering divorcing her. I’m over this fucking shit. Oh, and by the way, my wife claims that she’s scared of me etc. now when she tells the story to other people.
I have never and would never hit my wife. I’ve never given her any reason to be afraid of me. So to put that out there on me is absolutely fucking bullshit and I’ve lost all trust in her.
AITAH?

You can’t bullshit me unless I trust you. I knew immediately he was lying but I let it go. I did ask my wife and she said no they’re not talking. So I believed her.
Well, a year and a half goes by. In that time her sister and her fought about how her sister could come to the US. We said we’d help her but it’s a lengthy process. At the time I had little animosity toward her sister and would’ve loved to see her come here and be near my wife again. She wasn’t happy with that and said it takes too long. This is her sister’s mindset.
Anyway. Her sister gets a B1 visa in the meantime, temporary business visitor and wants to come visit my wife. Lies through her teeth about her intentions to the immigration officer, telling them she wants to stay 90 days. They approve her for 60.
So we file for an extension ASAP so she can visit for 3 months. Staying with us the whole time. I wanted her to have fun on her visit so I arrange for my friends and I to go out. This guy shows up. She talked to him and told him our plans.
Immediately they disappear into the casino and come back holding hands and all kinds of PDA. I’m fuming because I know she’s a conniving word I won’t say here. I don’t say anything though and we go through the night and I let it go so I can have fun.
The next day he’s picking her up from my house and they’re out for the whole day. The next time my wife is off work, same story. Well, I thought you were here to visit her? And that’s where I put my foot down.
I got told it was wrong to try and control her, wrong to try and separate them, etc. etc. etc. Finally she blocks his number and he calls from a separate number. I turn off her SIM card because I’m not gonna support her going behind my back in my own home. He calls me and tells me he really loves her and just wishes I’d accept it.
I tell him very plainly I will never, ever accept it because it all stemmed from him, her, and my wife going behind my back. Primarily my wife, as she’s the only one of the three I should be able to trust is telling me the truth.
At this point, I feel as if my wife had an emotional affair, although it’s with her own family. She repeatedly chose to go behind my back, against a boundary I had told her repeatedly before this situation at my friend’s wedding after party ever transpired. If that’s not an emotional affair, I don’t know what is.
So I tell him bluntly to not call me anymore and I’m not going to change my stance, and his feelings don’t mean shit to me. He started to give me a sob story about how we’re friends and he I should be happy for him and I cut him off and told him to save his breath.
My wife is upset at me for how I talked to him. Another emotional affair. Trying to protect the feelings of this dude.
The next day, while my wife is at work I’m eating lunch at our dinner table and studying schoolwork her sister comes to the table and starts talking to me about this guy asking if I talked to him and I tell her plainly I did and what I told him.
She goes into a story about how she really loves him, she’s an adult woman and I shouldn’t be intervening etc. I told her I agree I shouldn’t ever have been involved and neither should my wife. I told her to save her breath with any talk of her feelings because I don’t care. She started crying telling me I’m cruel etc.
I told her at this point I’m done being nice. I’ve been lied to for 2 years and it’s over. I’m done being my laid back self and I’ve been pushed repeatedly and I’m standing up for my marriage and my boundaries.
I did turn her SIM card back on so she could call my wife and I, her hosts.
The next morning I wake up to my wife in tears calling me to her sisters room. Her sister is bawling her eyes out and packing her bags to go home. I talk her sister into coming for a car ride with my wife and I to talk things out.
Immediately in the car my wife starts berating her sister about how she’s selling her for a man and a whole host of other things. I calm my wife down and tell her that’s not okay to say to her sister. Because against what they thought I don’t want and would’ve never wanted this to cause a separation between them. I know how much my wife values family.
In the car her sister tells me she really loves this guy and that she can see them being a family one day etc. etc. etc. I tell her plainly don’t ever bring him around my house, if they do marry and have kids, don’t ever bring them around my house, and don’t consider me her brother in law because I will never do anything for her again after she goes home.
My wife is shocked, she’s shocked and they both wonder how I could be so cruel. I said I’m over it. I’m over hearing about this guy, I’m over being used, and I will never again trust her. She said she understands and resumes talking to this guy.
A few days later we’re in the car going to a family event with my family and I get asked if he can come. I said no, very politely. I said no, he’s not part of my family. I was told how terrible I am, and my wife and her sister both jump out of my car in a bad part of Chicago, an area neither of them know.
My wife calls my family and tells them I kicked them out of the car. So my family starts blowing up my phone screaming at me. Once I explained the situation my family said they’ll come pick them up but I hung around and kept driving by to make sure they were okay. Eventually my wife calls me and says they’ll get in.
So I pull over and they open the doors and my wife goes “I’m scared I don’t feel comfortable getting in the car with you”. So I drive away pissed off. This is a 85,000 car in a bad part of the city where carjackings happen every other day.
I go park somewhere but keep an eye on them to make sure they stay safe. A homeless guy passed them and my wife calls me to come get her. So I do and we go home.
Again her sister packs her shit and cries that she’s going home. I tell her to relax, sleep on it and we’ll talk in the morning. She does eventually and in the morning she decides she’ll stay.
A week goes by and I hear nothing about this guy from her. My friends and I all joked about him and made light fun of him. He caught wind of it and cried to my wife’s sister who told my wife, who came to me and aggressively told me to stop and leave them both alone. I got pissed off because this was a private convo between me and my friends and if he heard it and got his feelings hurt it’s on him.
This spiraled into a huge argument with me, my wife, and her sister. In the argument I asked her sister plainly if she planned to leave at the 90 day mark. She said no.
So I kicked her out of our house. Her and my wife went for a walk and I yelled out the front door to get her shit to the curb before the walk before I do, because if she doesn’t do it herself it’ll be thrown on the wet ground. They both thought I was joking before then I assume. Her sister comes in and packs her stuff and gets out. I said if you plan on staying here illegally it won’t be in my house. If the choose is between here or the streets, it’ll be the streets.
She went to stay with the boyfriend and his parents. His parents must not have liked her too much because within a couple weeks they made them both move out.
This was in January of this year.
Since then, I’ve been repeatedly goaded into accepting this. My wife has tried to get me to visit her sister, etc.
It came to a head recently at a wedding we went to for another friend. Her sister and this guy were there. I didn’t say a word to either one the entire night and all was fine.
Except my wife spent the whole night at their table because he wouldn’t dance or do anything to have fun. She can’t handle the idea that her sister might find something she doesn’t like about this guy. She has to be there just in case the relationship goes on life support.
This pisses me off, obviously. She’s more invested in their relationship than she’s been in ours for the past 2 years. Grown adults.
Well, today she was going to her sisters house. She had 2 bags. An ulta bag and a discovery bag. I asked what that is, and she said it’s for her sister. She pulled out taco shells and said it’s just small stuff she wants her to try. But I could see through the bag and saw beauty products. I’m not an idiot.
I looked in when she went to the bathroom and saw a fucking armoire full of shit. I looked at the receipt. $300. I was fucking livid.
I continued getting ready for work and said “her husband can’t buy her that?”. It’s confrontational, yes. But I said it politely, and was open to talking about it.
I get met with immediately hostility. I never raised my voice but I made it very clear I wasn’t being nice about this or anything anymore.
I told her “maybe she could pay you back and find you a new husband”. I’m going to give her a choice. Me or her sister now. Because this has gotten fucking ridiculous.
We pay for her to come here. She hired an immigration lawyer apparently, but doesn’t have money to pay me back for the flight or even pay for the Ubers they take or anything. My wife is trying to make up for this losers shortcomings. He’s too much of an idiot to see that her sister is using him.
By the way, this isn’t her first fiance. It’s not even her first western fiance. She’s been engaged to at least 3 different guys. One from France, another from Belgium, and a third from Canada before this guy. She was looking to immigrate. He’s a fucking idiot though so, oh well.
My wife’s sister is very materialistic. My wife is fortunately down to earth but is so far up her sisters ass because she thinks if she doesn’t do everything her sister wants that her sister will cut her from her life again. Which is exactly what would happen.
I told her that’s on her sister. I’m not asking her to never talk to her sister. I’m asking her to stop treating her sister like she’s a child and putting their relationship before ours. Stop bending over backwards for a grown woman who will throw you away the moment you’re inconvenient.
But it’ll never happen it seems and it’s the reason I’m strongly considering divorcing her. I’m over this fucking shit. Oh, and by the way, my wife claims that she’s scared of me etc. now when she tells the story to other people.
I have never and would never hit my wife. I’ve never given her any reason to be afraid of me. So to put that out there on me is absolutely fucking bullshit and I’ve lost all trust in her.
AITAH?
2024.05.21 22:18 HasSomeSelfEsteem The Kershaw Bel Air is a massive improvement on the Iridium but still feels a bit rough around the edges
I really love crossbar knives and I’m always looking for new models and manufacturers. Some of them turn out to fantastic, like the Hogue Deka and TRM Shadow. I was disappointed by the Iridium just because it sort of felt cheap, though for its price that’s sort of expected, but the Bel Air is a huge improvement.
Right out of the box it feels smooth and fast, and the action just pops open. The knife runs on ball bearings so that’s to be expected. I also really love the shape of the blade and handle. The blade is very practically sharped and the handle just rests easily in the hand. I’m not sure how I feel about the sort of black stonewash finish on the blade, but it is magnacut so such issues are minor.
The problems with the Bel Air really only became apparent when I took the knife apart to see how it works. Now I’m aware that there are plenty of knives that you’re not supposed to disassemble, but I’m of the belief that you should be able to maintenance your own pocketknife and simplicity in a design is a virtue. The bearing/washer system is pretty over the top. The Bel Air has four steel washers and two captive bearing washers. The steel washers sit in either side of the bearing washers. This makes for a smooth action, but reassembling the knives if very tricky because you have to make a washebearing sandwich on each side of the blade. I was struggling with this a bit and decided that I’d take the scales off to reassemble the knife like one big sandwich. To do that I had to remove the exterior aluminum scales, remove the clip, pop out the omega springs, pop out the steel frame plates, and then finally reassemble the knife with the four washers and two bearing washers in their place. It just feels overly complex to use six washers rather than two large ball captives bearing washers.
And there’s a bit of lock stick with the bar.
I think the knife is very good so far, but the design seems overly complicated, especially compared to other crossbar knives. The knife does feel premium in the hand, and I’m glad that the crossbar design is now available for other companies to use. I think with some simplifying the Bel Air could be improved and considered among the best crossbar knives and likely the best one on bearings.

2024.05.21 22:17 an_empty_sad_bottle Best Welschriesling to date!
 | Welschriesling might be one of the most underrated varietals in Austria. For many it still bears the stigma of being cheap "Spritzerwein"(wine diluted with sparkling water) that's not capable of much. Having tasted many expressions from good producers, I can assuredly debunk this notion. submitted by an_empty_sad_bottle to wine [link] [comments] Aerated for 1 1/2 hours, served in a Burgundy glass. Pale golden colour. Nose: Tart red apple, pear and peaches at first. Notes of orange blossom, dried herbs, lemon grass and yeast arise. Crushed stones and wet stones come through as well, Lemon zest and lime juice on the way out. Palate: Yellow apple, peach and hints of pear on the palate, notes of herbs soon after. Very fresh acidity, bright salinity and slight viscosity. Orange blossom, lemon zest, lime juice and wet stone on the finish. Wow, Lackner-Tinnacher did such an amazing job here. After having tasted most of their current line up, they now rank among my favourite producers from the Südsteiermark! This wine combines elegance and coolness with great depth, the salinity elevates the wine even more. For under 25€, this might be the best white I had this far in my wine journey! |
2024.05.21 22:15 Nicki_RapidfireGames Patch Notes 0.9
Patch notes 0.9
This update is another major milestone in Backpack Brawl’s short history. It adds a new Hero, Harkon the Barbarian, new Areas, 67 new items, and a whole slew of balancing changes.Areas are our first pass at a new “soft story” of the player’s adventure through the game. In practice, it’s a way for us to unlock more items for you as you progress in the game, and to match-make you with opponents who have gotten to your level. Each area unlocks 4 new items for your pool of items, and adds craftable items beyond that.
We are making Harkon and Nymphedora paid heroes, as this is a way to make the game work long term for us. Eventually, their price will fall as we add more heroes.
We are experimenting with having a “free to play” rotation of heroes, such that you always have more than the always unlocked heroes (Ronan and Chana) to choose from. Our goal is to have many heroes and encourage as much build diversity as we can on different levels of skill and arenas.
We anticipate that this will be somewhat controversial, so please join our discord server and voice your opinion on it. No one wants to spend money, but for us to be able to continually support the game, we need to earn enough to make living wages. We hope we can strike a good balance.
We had intended to have a tutorial for this update, but that will have to wait for next time – too many things at the same time is impossible, so we pushed it for later.

2024.05.21 22:10 SwanStriking491 He says he isn’t a narc and that I am.
WWYD, Hello all, this is my first post in here so bear with me as it might be long and very detailed. My ex-husband and I have three kids together. I am currently in a relationship and have been for a few years. We live together and it’s a completely different relationship that I’ve ever had. There’s been a lot of me giving in as i did during my marriage. I was a severe people pleaser all my life, caving in to more than i ever should have to too many people. This year has been the first year that I really have stood up for myself when it has come to anyone in my life. It took me 5 years to leave my ex-husband. Our whole relationship was rocky. We, of course did have good times. My parents were split up when i was 3 and they both also had rocky relationships after. Along with that , my dad chose when to be present in my life. Due to all that, I was very committed even though even before our marriage, many people told me to break up with him. We had our first child, two years before we got married. Fast forward to Marriage, 3 kids total, and were currently in marriage counseling. I had already had one foot out the door. One of my breaking points during marriage counseling is him lying to our counselor. That was basically the end of the road for me. My kids were suffering and saw everything going on and it was just time for me to strengthen up. Divorce starts and that was hard enough. I’ll save the headache on that one. He took nothing, but his clothes and he signs a dissolution of divorce because he wanted nothing more to do with me. We figure out custody of the kids, I did not file for child support as i agreed not to due to the amount of money he was making. Due to me having epilepsy and not having my license, He would pick up and drop off the kids at my house. I really tried to have a nice coparenting relationship, caved over so many things and so much more. Fast forward so much has happened between then and now. Everywhere from my kids have been in therapy due to issues that have been caused by him, them being scared at the first place he lived, and so much more. My number one thing I have done is severely work on myself, so much so that after he split, I was able to get my license for the first time in my life at the ripe age of 34. Now, I’ve had my issues too, i am definitely not perfect. I met my boyfriend randomly the same time during my separation and divorce, waited 6 months for my kids to meet him. When my ex found out about him, sometime even before then, my ex would cause issues at pick up and drop off including to using his car to kick up dust on my boyfriends car, stalk my house when he would go out of the way to drive by it at midnight when he didn’t have the kids. Made racist and rude, sexual comments in front of the kids. I caved so much, so much more than I should have. I went to file child support, he gets the papers in the mail, begs me to stop it, so i do. Child custody, same thing. Wow, I didn’t know i would be typing this long, lol, but I have been meaning to post in here ever since I found this group and this seriously feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders since I’m finally posting. I update him on everything about the kids even though each teacher have communication apps and he gets them on Tuesday until 5. He doesn’t have our kids do their homework so they have to do it when they get home, I still do everything for them, of course he used to have to take them to all their appointments, I do give him that when it came to our oldest, he took so much pride in being her dad, but also turned her against me when she was 3, he also does take our youngest to speech. He isn’t in the best financial situation, hell none of us are these days, so I’m really trying to not file child support or child custody, but im at the point where having everything through the courts is going to make everything just ease some anxiety, I can’t be around him without shaking. We’ve been doing better at drop offs and pick ups, we meet half way now, he pays me once a week, a total of 600 a month. I struggle financially. I get less than 1200 on SSDI. Now, My kids absolutely love my boyfriend, he lives with us now. My oldest want to call him dad, but knows her siblings will tell their dad. When I ask him about Child support, He will tell me to have my boyfriend help me pay for things, which when it comes to house bills, he does help, when it comes to the kids though, I really try to make sure I can cover everything. Unless, it’s something at his house, I pay for everything even school items. But the clincher here is, he wants my boyfriend to do nothing with our kids and frankly, i am tired of hearing it. My boyfriend really wanted to try to patch things up with him ( he expressed it would be nice that we all could come together for the kids) since years have gone by, but my ex stated, “I don’t trust you with the kids, and I trust him less.” My boyfriend is really involved in the kids life, including school, but when it comes to school visits for things, he doesn’t go to avoid unnecessary drama. We went to my oldest’s band concert, it was a Tuesday so he had them, I had picked up my daughter to take her to band after she was picked up by him. She called me, he was yelling at her on the phone, cursing at her, after he cursed at her in front of her teacher just minutes before . This was after the 3rd time being over 20 minutes - 1 hour late to pick up our kids. One day he forgot about them. So band concert, My 2nd child wanted to come sit with my boyfriend and I my 3rd stayed with dad. My second has ADHD and OCD and her anxiety is very stressful for her. He told her, “if you go sit with your mom, you have to stay with her.” Well, while that might have been the best idea, although, she has done it all the time with each concert, she started breaking down crying and shaking in anxiety because her dad told her that and she missed her dad and wanted to go sit with him. He just kept staring over at us until our daughter played. When done, never asked why she was crying or if she was okay. Kind of just ignored her which again broke down in the car on the way home. She is extremely sensitive that even though there’s issues with dad, she tries to see past it because she does love him, as do all my kids. My oldest states that she doesn’t want to shorten the days because she’s scared of what he will do or take it out on them. There’s days she doesn’t want to go because how he acts sometimes. Things she expresses to me, she no longer wants me to address to her dad because he has yelled at me in front of the kids at pick up or drop off when addressed, he will completely lie through text or phone calls. She tells me that no matter what she will go to protect her siblings. Unfortunately, I feel the same way. I fear he will cause issues all over again. Thank you for the long read. I really do appreciate it. I apologize for the grammatical errors lol 😂
Also, the day he yelled at our child the day of her band concert, I asked if he apologized and she said nope. He did although say,
Ex: I apologize
DD: for what?
Ex: for being a bad ass dad. *face palm*

2024.05.21 22:07 LucasHellaaShreddy Moving to melbourne soon
 | Well as the title says the wife and I are moving to Florida from California. She's attending flight school there so for the next 18 months starying on August we'll be trying to enjoy the beauty of florida. submitted by LucasHellaaShreddy to 321 [link] [comments] A little about us: we are from the mountains of California, not the city, luckily. Specifically Mount Shasta - Siskiyou County area. We are used to wild horses, deer, elk, wolves bears and mountain lions with woods so quiet when a crow flies overhead you can hear it's wings. I enjoy dirtbikes, fishing, camping, and anything that goes fast. My wife is pretty similar. We aren't crazy political but we do lean republican/conservative more than anything. Part of what pushed us to florida was how bad California is getting. We are hoping Florida isn't as bad. You cannot park your vehicle in any city here without the possibility of it being stolen or windows broken open and stuff stolen out of the car. The drugs are absolutely bad here, doesn't matter if your in the city or the woods like we are, we've been in town before and had to stop in the middle of the street bc there was someone shooting drugs in their neck with a needle. Yes the news is true, there are so many homeless ppl here they do leave fecal matter on the sidewalks. In the cities there is shootings almost daily if not shootings then multiple armed robberies, home invasions, ect. It's out of control here. It's absolutely garbage to live here. Is any of this something that my wife or children will have to deal with in Melbourne? I really don't want to spend the amount of money we're planning on spending if it's crime ridden or a bad place. From what we've seen (and we are going to visit this summer before we move) is that it looks really nice and chill. Seems to be (according to google) the safest place in florida and thats what matters to me because again as a father and husband I don't want my wife or daughters to have to carry all the time and have to worry about things like that. Second part of my pestering questions, lol, is what are the best elementary schools in the area? Any worth recommending? What are some interesting things to do for fun with or without kids? Is there a decent amount of stuff to do? Is there any race tracks in the area for either racecars or dirtbikes, ect? Is the fishing good? Do I need an ocean pole or will my regular fishing rods work? What are places to stay away from and why? Thank you for the patience. I know several folks from florida but none from the Melbourne area so I figured I'd ask on here. I hope everyone's day is as beautiful as this California sunshine. Picture of my view for attention. |
2024.05.21 22:05 DaddyDersch Market Prepares for FOMC Minutes… 5-21-24 SPY/ ES Futures, and QQQ/ NQ Futures Daily Market Analysis
 | I wasn’t able to get a TA out last night just had a really busy evening and actually took off yesterday around noon. This has been two days of brutal price action and trading for me. I just can not seem to get a good read. We just keep seeming to have all the perfect bearish technicals to move lower and then out of no where we squeeze higher. Been rough for sure. submitted by DaddyDersch to u/DaddyDersch [link] [comments] Tomorrow we get FOMC minutes at 230pm. Which if you remember FOMC minutes is just a completely transcript of the previous FOMC meeting. There is no press conference tomorrow nor is there any new information provided. For me the reason the last two days (really four) have bene so frustrating is that I have seen the upside case since FOMC… however, the technicals have been so ugly I have been caught looking short at all the opportunities only for price to find every reason to just go higher. Very well like the first 3 months of the year and the last 2 months of 2023, it might be time to put the bull cap on and sign off on all shorts. Ill get you a two day update here since I didn’t get one yesterday. SPY DAILY https://preview.redd.it/njdwpva56u1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b5c5b98bd9a0fc553a712fe6dddaf44f2ab8cc0 Yesterday on SPY we despite having weaker daily buyers saw a new demand (support) put in at 528.78. However,today daily buyers did come back in and that has brought us back near ATHs. We have some extremely low volume and low range trading happening the last four days on SPY. Bulls are targeting a move to 535 and bears are targeting 528.78. SPY DAILY LEVELS Supply- 523.45 -> 530.1 Demand- 520.82 -> 528.78 ES FUTURES DAILY https://preview.redd.it/az80hgo56u1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9fab39dc7592afa25d1c90d8653443e211f7936 Similarly on ES we put in a new demand at 5318 yesterday and then followed it up with a new supply at 5332 today. Today is the first time in 4 days we have seen stronger daily buyers. Bulls are targeting 5375-5400 and bears are targeting 5318. ES FUTURES DAILY LEVELS Supply- 5266 -> 5332 Demand- 5239 -> 5318 QQQ DAILY https://preview.redd.it/6mlv9g566u1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac2f01b38f18776d284a710afd1c14cb7c39d943 Today tech ran the show and honestly is one of the only reasons over the last 4 days that we haven’t been able to sell off. We actually do have stronger daily buyers for the last two days on QQQ now. We too put in a new demand yesterday at 451.67. We have a nice range of 451.67 to 454.88 for the last few days with that range breaking out to the upside today. Bulls will target 460 and Bears can target 445-446. QQQ DAILY LEVELS Supply- 445.36 -> 446.44 -> 452.99 Demand- 442 -> 451.67 NQ FUTURES DAILY https://preview.redd.it/xhhv5cu66u1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1da7596a10d700b2c824faa85a91f1205c341fe2 On NQ yesterday was the only day we had stronger buyers over the last 4 days. We also put in that new demand (support) at 18631. Our range on NQ has been 18631- 18748. However, with the help of stronger daily buyers today we have officially broken through that range resistance. Bulls are going to look for 19000 and bears will look for 18630. NQ FUTURES DAILY LEVELS Supply- 18489 -> 18699 Demand- 18234 -> 18631 VIX DAILY https://preview.redd.it/5asy1y576u1d1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=675db28bd42a7fbc79fe6d0940ae37c7316082bd One thing I have noticed specifically over the last four days is that while we are severely lacking buying support to go higher most of the time… the VIX is being used to push price higher… countless times when we have had key pivot points and even at time had sellers to justify going lower… we have seen hard drops on the VIX to instantly flip price action. The VIX is now near its 52 week (which is really its 3-4 year) lows… the VIX is starting to push in a pretty extreme downward trend rejecting the daily 8ema resistance for over a week now. DAILY TRADING LOG Honestly its been a terrible last two days of trading for me. I just have not been able to see any of the bullish moves and everytime I see a bearish move it ends up being the worlds nastiest bear trap. Tough two days for me after finishing the week off so strong last week. Look to regroup as I finish the week off. Some of the damage is definitely self inflicted… I had been doing very good about trading one account at a time.. no multiple accounts… and then I got over confident after having a great month or so of trading and well when its good its good… when its bad its bad… After two not great days of trading and burning some accounts… imma take the day tomorrow to just watch the market… no live trades for me tomorrow… which is probably for the best being FOMC minute day. |
2024.05.21 22:00 Dakine_Lurker Some questions from a Keurig user…
So I’m trying to quit my Keurig. Not great coffee, hate the amount of plastic involved. Didn’t even know super automatics were a thing, and I’m pretty excited about it.
I’m looking at the Philips 3300 with a wand, and that $650 price point is about as high as I can go right now. With that in mind, here’s a few questions:
1) We mainly drink Coffee. Usually 4-5 cups a day between the two of us. We do however enjoy various espresso beverages. With that in mind, will this produce good coffee? In what amounts(i.e. 12oz cup?)
2) Given that we mainly drink coffees, how difficult would it be, or would it be necessary to swap beans when we want an espresso drink? Based on the hoppers in most of these machines it seems like once the beans are in, they’re in. I see the pre-ground slot - Would we be best advised to put pre-ground beans in for coffees and only use the hopper for espresso, despite coffee being our main use? Sorry, I am not finding much info for coffee usage on these machines, mostly espresso.
3) Should I consider any alternatives? I was looking at the Delonghi Magnifica from Costco, but the Philips seems like a much newer machine and I’m not clear if the Costco version is “legit” as it has the same model number but less features.
Sorry if these are basic questions. I might be swimming against the current trying to use one of these for coffee, but I like the idea of having a latte from time to time as well.
Editing to add I’m in the US.

2024.05.21 21:59 Popular_Doctor_8970 AITA For being upset my bf didn’t do enough for my birthday?
Long story, please bear with me because I want advice. May 19th was my 20th birthday. I wanted to go to Seattle and spend the day up there with my boyfriend (We’ll call him mark) and some friends. Anyway, we only had one set plan for the morning, and then the rest of the day was just exploring and doing whatever looked interesting. Anyways, I sent mark the link to a cafe in Seattle I wanted to go to so we could book reservations. He asked me what time I wanted it to be for and I said 10am, since the only times left were 9am, 10am, and 3pm. I told him 10am worked the best prior to him asking because our friends had to leave around 3pm for work. Anyway, when I replied, he had already made the reservations for 9am. He said “too late, it’s for 9”. Seattle is an hour and a half away from us so I was upset because I didn’t want to wake up that early. But I let it go and told him thanks for making the reservations because I chose to look at it at a positive way. Being there at 9am gave us all more time to be in Seattle.
Anyways, morning comes around, and my friend (We’ll call her Maria) texts me and asks if me and mark would like to meet up with her and her boyfriend zane at 7:45 at a local store. This was a plan made just that morning, but regardless nobody would have to wake up earlier to meet up with anyone. As time goes by I know my boyfriend isn’t awake because he hasn’t texted me, which he usually does. And I was alerted his phone was dead on Life360. I tell Maria we can’t meet them but we’ll see them at the cafe in Seattle. I drive all the way to marks to wake him up. Long story short I had to knock on his window because the back door was locked, which it NEVER is. Anyway i look in the window and his stepbrother wakes up from my knocking. For context marks stepbrother spends some weekends at marks house, they share a room. Mark opens the door and I follow mark to his bedroom door and I just say “Hey I’m sorry I woke you up”. I had no idea his stepbrother was there because his car wasn’t parked outside. He just says “kill yourself” in a super annoyed tone.
I was already kind of emotional that morning, because I took offense that my boyfriend didn’t wake up on my birthday and I had to come wake him up last minute. So the “kys” comment got to me, even though I’m good at taking jokes. Fast forward to the drive there, my boyfriend was buttering me up, which is super rare. He just took my hand in his and wished me a happy birthday and apologized for waking up late and kept telling me he loved me a lot. Anyway, the day kind of went downhill after the cafe. All of us were walking all around Seattle, and 90% of the time my boyfriend was walking ahead of me. Again for some context, my left leg is two inches shorter than my right, so lots of walking hurts my hips and makes me walk slower. My friend Maria noticed and would walk with me but after I would get back with my boyfriend and Maria with hers, I would fall back again. I said “Babe can you walk a little slower? Because my leg?” To which he replied “I’m trying to catch up with Maria and Zane. Also, every time we walk together you always fall behind anyways.” Also, he wouldn’t hold my hand. I saw how Zane held Maria and put his arm around her or his hand on her waist and mark maybe held my hand in 30 second intervals.
Anyway, nearing the end of the story, after we drive home, my friend comes over and drops off the presets she got me. It’s 5pm at this point and I still wanted to go home and spend my birthday with my parents. Birthdays have always made me feel a bit awkward because I’m not a fan of opening gifts while people are watching, I feel guilty for some reason haha, or like I’m spoiled. Anyways, I was looking forward to the gift my boyfriend mark got me the most, because a few days prior he told me he was leaving to buy me stuff. Anyways, I hated to ask mark this, but I was about to go home so I said “Can I have my gift now?”. He said “Seattle was your gift, it was expensive and you’re an expensive person.” He was smiling while saying this, so he was half joking, but I was a little taken aback. I didn’t wanna seem like a spoiled brat so I played off the awkwardness by saying “Oh ok, didn’t you say you went to the store though?” He said “Yeah but they couldn’t do what I wanted that day and I didn’t feel like going back any of the other days.” I said “Oh alright well are you going to get it?” His response was “Probably not.” I played it off really well, I wasn’t showing that I was upset in anyway really, I just got a quieter, because I really didn’t want to seem like a spoiled brat.
Also, on Saturday, the day before my birthday, my boyfriend mark went fishing with his friend and spent over 100 dollars on equipment and a fishing license. Saturday night was a bbq at his friends house and I attended. While all of us (friends and such) were sitting in the living room I told mark that we had two options for dinner, he interrupted me mid sentence and said in front of everyone “I’m not sure how much you’re expecting me to spend but it’s not much.” Again, I played it off, and said “alright well that’s okay I was just letting you know.” My boyfriend is an electrician and makes (I think) either 23 or 24 an hour. I feel like he shouldn’t have said that in front of everyone. It was indecent. Also, I heard from my friend (the one who dropped off the gifts) that when all of the boys were outside my boyfriend was complaining about how much he’s gonna have to spend on me, to which her boyfriend responded “dude it’s her fucking birthday shut the hell up.” Also, I’m sure other Washingtonians know that pikes place has a huge variety of flowers. It was my first time there, and I got excited and said “ooh I want flowers!” My boyfriend sighed and his friend Zane said “dude it’s her birthday you got that”. He in fact did not have that. I didn’t get flowers hahaha
Anyways, I was quiet a few minutes before I left. I asked if he wanted to come over for cake with my family. To which he responded “I mean I could.” I just left. 2 minutes away from my house, he called me and said he’d be over in an hour with gifts. Now this part makes me feel the absolute worst, because I don’t wanna sound ungrateful at all, but I saw on Life360 that he went to goodwill, I think a rite aid and a dollar tree for my gifts. This made me sad because I didn’t want a sympathy gift, especially one that wasn’t thought out at all. But when I got it I smiled and kept saying appreciative things. Like for example, he got me a book that says “100 things to do in Tacoma.” I told him “this helps a lot actually because I never know what to do thank you babe!” . I am grateful , I’m grateful that he still made an effort after I was sad, and I really do like the gifts he got me, because they weren’t bad. Just not thought out at all. Anyway he ate a slice of cake and left after that. I was talking to my friends about how sad I was about the day, especially because I cried on my birthday. Am I the asshole for talking to my friends about how upset I was about the gifts and the day in general?

2024.05.21 21:47 Commercial-Basis-220 THE STEALTHIEST STEALTH TO EVER STEALTH
So I was thinking of doing another campaign, but using OP builds is boring so I did some research. Basically, this strategy utilizes party members to buff a main character and max out Stealth.
Even tho we're maxing stealth, i think the damage output of this build is still strong ( in normal battle )
You can do this multiple ways, and here's some choices I came up with. All of this info I got from bg3.wiki and my memory from build tutorials I read/watched before, so special thanks to all of them.
TLDKeypoint:
Lightfoot Halfling character with 24 Dex + Greater Invisibility (from someone) + Expertise Stealth + Advantage in stealth check + ton bonus stealth check via gear, guidance and pass without a trace + Lucky from Halfling
Not enough? go for 11 rogue to get reliable talent
**Character Creation**:
* Race Selection : any or Lightfoot Halfling for an advantage and a reroll on a 1 on stealth checks
* Background (if Tav): any or Urchin / Criminal for Stealth Proficiency
* Class: Explained on later section ( Multiple ways to do this ), but you could choose Rogue/FighteRanger for now
* Main Ability: Go for 17 dex, the rest, up to you, personally I then max Constitution, and then Charisma (if Party Face) or Wisdom and dump the rest
* Skill Proficiency: Maxing Stealth for proficiency and expertise, rest up to you
**Class Selection**
Overview:
Your character should have access to:
17 initial dex + 1 Hag HaiAthlete Feat + 2 ASI + 2 Mirror of Loss + 2 Nimblefinger Gloves
* The build:
If you use hag hair
Go for classic 5 Gloomstalker (disguise self + pass without a trace) / 4 Champion / 3 Assassin / 2 of your feat being +2 ASI DEX and Sharpshooter and picking stealth expertise.
Fighting style: Archery and Defense
If not:
Go for 8 Champion Fighter (Athlete/ASI, ASI, Sharpshooter) / 1 rogue (Stealth Proficiency & Expertise) / 3 trickery cleric (disguise self+pass without a trace)
Fighting style: Archery
The order of taking level is up to you, but if you want to stealthing as soon as possible, prioritize getting pass without a trace and upgrading your dex/stealth skill, once a party member has access to greater invisibility, go nuts!
—-------------------------
**Stealth Gear Choices**
This list of gear will give stealth check bonus, if you think you have enough stealth bonus, feel free to change it, my goal is to make the enemy can’t see me,
So with all of that setup, your character on level 12 in Act 3 with the best condition should have:
—---------------------------
Thank you for reading until here :D. (Haven’t yet tried this but on paper looks fun hahaha) if someone already created a similar type of build before, or i’m just repeating what already known, so sorry, just wanted to share this with you guys.

**Class Selection**
Overview:
Your character should have access to:
- Maximum dexterity of 24
- Stealth skill - Expertise level
- Pass without a Trace spell ( For easier setup, else someone else cast it )
- Disguise Self (if you are not a gnome and no other party member able to cast seeming)
17 initial dex + 1 Hag HaiAthlete Feat + 2 ASI + 2 Mirror of Loss + 2 Nimblefinger Gloves
* The build:

**Stealth Gear Choices**
This list of gear will give stealth check bonus, if you think you have enough stealth bonus, feel free to change it, my goal is to make the enemy can’t see me,
- Glove: Nimblefinger Glove (+2 Dex as gnome, work if disguised as gnome)
- Shield: Gloomstrand Shield (+2 AC, Guarantee +1 Stealth)
- Armor: Leather Armour +2 (13 AC, Guarantee +1 Stealth) or Penumbral Armour (+3 stealth while obscured [i hate this, cause obscured is so situational, but if u want go for it]) or The Graceful Cloth (advantage in dexterity check, if you are not lightfoot halfling, or no one able to cast Enhance Ability / Blessing of the Trickster on you )
- Main Hand (optional in case you somehow still don't have advantage on stealth check): Assassin's Shortsword.
- Ring 1: Shapeshifter ring ( +1d4 to all skill check while disguised, synergized with nimblefinger )
- Ring 2: Smuggler ring (Guarantee +2 stealth)
- Head: Saverok Helmet for guarantee -1 Critical threshold or Soul Perception (+2 to atk roll, init, perception)
- Cloak: Cloak of Protection (+1 AC) or Cloak of Displacement
- Boot: Evasive Shoes (+1 AC) or Disintegrating Night Walkers (misty step) or Boots of Persistence (longstrider + freedom of movement)
- Amulet: Amulet of Greater Health (23 Con) or Amulet of Bhaal (bleeding) or Amulet of Misty Step
- MainHand: Knife of undermountain king or club of hill giant strength ( if titanstringBow and no str elixir ), there is
- Ranged Weapon: Deadshot or Titanstring bow
- Elixir: STR elixir (if titanstring bow) or collosal elixir (extra 1d4 damage ) or bloodlust (nerfed in honour mode)
So with all of that setup, your character on level 12 in Act 3 with the best condition should have:
- Advantage on Stealth Check, reroll if got a 1
- Flat bonus +7 (24 dex) + 4(prof)+ 4 (expert) + 10 (pass) + 1 (shield) + 1 (armor) + 2(smuggler)= 29
- dice bonus: 1d4 ( guidance ) + 1d4 (shapeshifter ) + 1d6 (rupture)
- Greater Invisibility ( double the duration with sorcerer, so 20 turn :D)
- Your roll should be at minimum 2 (dice) + 1 + 1 + 1 ( dice bonuses) + 29 = 34 and maximum of 19+4+4+6+29 = 62, Holy hell.

2024.05.21 21:46 Ok-Ebb2872 Interested Teaching Consultant messaged me to let me know about a remote vacancy at their Technical University, only to ghost me as soon as I tell them I'm interested and sending my resume? Is this normal?
So a few weeks ago at 2:47 PM, I had an ESL teachebusiness consultant from Ukraine reach out to me on LinkedIn who told me that the technical University in Kyiv, Ukraine where she was working at had a vacancy for a remote ESL teaching position that they needed to be filled. She sent me a link to the university where she worked at, along with a PDF listing the details of the job description. I'm unemployed.
My main concerns that I encountered with this consultant was that she wouldn't respond to my messages for several days at a time and lose interest in communicating with me as soon as I replied. Was I not replying fast enough to her messages? Like I'm frustrated that this consultant offered a job interview to me despite knowing the 10 hour time zone difference between us and how she sounded very urgent as if she needed the job filled asap, only to ghost me.
My background is a bachelor's degree in Information Management and 6 months of teaching ESL in South Korea with 2 years of working at a call center and work as a tutor.
I immediately responded to her one minute later at 2:48 pm and I told her "thank you. Yes, I am interested in this position." After spending 5 minutes editing my resume, I sent her a copy of my resume. However, she didn't respond to my message on LinkedIn or my email until 8 days later.
8 days later, she sent another message on LinkedIn and email saying "Hi OP! If you're still interested in the opportunity, I'd love to invite you to a job interview with our company. Could you provide me with several available time slots."
I responded 4 minutes later saying "Yes, I am available from 8AM to 10 PM as I live in the Pacific Standard Time (PST). However, I have a very flexible schedule so I can change my schedule if need be."
The consultant responded one minute later "Thank you, I'm thinking about which time slot to offer as we have 10 hour time difference.
I responded 1 minute later saying that it would be best to continue this conversation early in the morning as at the time she was messaging me it was 1: 24 AM in my time zone (pacific standard time) and that I needed to get some sleep. She didn't respond to my message, as all she did was send me a "thumbs up" emoji to my message.
I didn't get a follow up message the following morning, so 4 days later, I sent a follow up message saying "good day. I am following up about the time slot for the interview that we discussed last week."
The last message that the consultant sent me was "Hi OP! Unfortunately we have to stop the cooperation. Due to big difference in time, we can barely offer students. Thank you for your time."
She sent a final email saying "Hi OP! Your candidacy won't be considered further for this position. To keep in touch, I would offer you to join our teacher's club where we post teacher resources and material weekly."
I wrote an email and LinkedIn message saying "Thank you for letting me know. Yes, I am interested in joining the teacher's club."
However, she never sent me a follow up email about the teacher's club. Was this a scam? Would it be worth it to have joined the teacher's club?
So if she knew that the time zone differences was going to be a problem, then why did she even bother to reach out to me on LinkedIn and email to offer me an interview for the remote job in the first place? And why would she stop messaging me as soon as I immediately replied to her message?
Was I not responding fast enough?
Seems like she wasted both of our times. Cana anyone give me feedback as to what I did wrong or why this consultant did this?

2024.05.21 21:45 qendy Passed! AT/AT/AT (4 week timeline) - May 18
I passed! AT/AT/AT. Took the test this past Saturday May 18, at a test center. Thank you to everyone on this sub, reading through your tips and experiences made all the difference.
Context: Start to finish, I completed this journey in about 4 weeks. I was laid off in March of this year and am job hunting. So, having the time, I opted to do it on a very aggressive timeline, to knock it out and beef up my resume. Not having it on the resume felt like a blocker for the positions I’ve been applying to, time will tell if it helps. I do wish I had thought to do it while still employed, so I could have done it on their dime. (I could not have pulled this off this quickly while working full time.)
Budget (USD) $723

I do wish I had thought to do it while still employed, so I could have done it on their dime. (I could not have pulled this off this quickly while working full time.)
Budget (USD) $723
- $159 - PMI membership
- $79 - PMI Study Hall Plus
- $425 - PMI Exam
- $20 - Andrew R's Udemy course
- $25 - AR Prep Book, Ebay
- $15 - Third3Rock Study Guide
- April 19: Purchased AR’s course
- May 1: Once I got course completion certificate, I submitted PMP application. No audit.
- May 3: Bought Study Hall Plus
- May 11: Finally confirmed my PMP application approval. It had been approved a few days prior, but the notification was not sent. So I recommend checking and not waiting for an email. Paid and scheduled exam, to take on site. Too many horror stories of online, test center is 15 min away.
- May 18: Took and passed exam!
- AR Udemy course for the 35 PDU. Watched on 1.5-1.75x speed, took notes. Got 72% on the in-session mock exam.
- AR PMP Exam Prep Simplified book. Read the whole thing. Averaged about 70-75% on the section quizzes. Saved full mock exam till later.
- PMI Study Hall Plus: Took all 5 full exams (only 1 per day, I’m not a monster. Took the last one 3 days before exam). Scores 69/73/75/63/62. I reviewed all questions after, and made sure I understood the wrong ones. The expert questions killed my last two scores. Also took a bunch of the SH mini quizzes. First pass, scored 60-70’s.
- I built a post-it Mural (mural.io) of the 49 processes/ITTOs. I was having hard time getting these to stick, and taking the time to do this helped me visualize it and keep it straight in my head. It’s not perfect, more of a brain dump in virtual post-its, but I’m happy to share a read-only link if anyone is interested.
- Watched David McLachlan’s 150 PMBOK 7 Q&A on YouTube. Helpful to learn his approach to highlighting key points and eliminating.
- When away from studying (i.e., driving, on walks, etc) — instead of my usual podcasts, I listed to a bunch of Scott Payne’s podcast “PMP Exam Prep Success Secrets”. More conversational, a much different style than DM or AR. I found it helpful. I don't know if it's the best podcast resource out there, but by then I was fried, so I grabbed first one I could find. I was done researching :)
- Third3rock PMP Study Notes/Cheat Sheet. So many of you recommended this! I grabbed it about 5 days before exam, read through multiple times through the week. Fantastic resource! (Thank you u/third3rock!)
- Took AR’s full exam in from the Prep Simplified book (85%)
- Reset SH mini exams and started redoing them, improved scores to 80-90’s, and one 100
- Re-read Third3Rock docs
- Rewatched AR’s mindset videos, reread minset section of prep book
- Re-read mindset section of Third3Rock
- Did more mini SF exams to stay in practice
- Reviewed Mural content
- Reread Third3Rock mindset section, and AR's mindset pages on drive in
- Scheduled for 8am at testing center. My husband dropped me off at 8am to save me the stress of finding parking (test center at local university.)
- Locked up my stuff, turned off phone and took off apple watch. Got signed in and started at 8:30. Had to show ID and show empty pockets at beginning and at every break.
- I could not bring my water into test room, but could leave it on counter near proctors.
- There were only 5 drag and drop. Only one question required calculation for CPI. No PERT or Comm Channels. No MBTI or DiSC. Maybe 5 ITTO at best. Everything else followed closely to Study Hall approach, situational and mindset. Heavy on agile and hybrid.
- I followed the 230/155/80 timing, which was super helpful to time things out. I paced myself, took breaks at 154 min and 83 min, and finished with 4 minutes to spare. I didn’t mark any for review, and at my pace it was just as well, I would not have had time to review.
- I used the highlight and strikethrough on every question. Do the tutorial in beginning to get comfortable with the tool.
- Be careful to understand the rules at the test center. I almost got in trouble at the first break! I asked permission to go to my locker for snacks after 1st break, which were right off to the side and in view of proctors. I stayed at locker to eat some granola and grapes, and was reprimanded, since I was supposed to bring the snacks out to the proctor’s desk area, which I now realize was in view of the cameras. Whoops! I apologized and said I misunderstood the rules. I’m glad they did not suspect me of trying to use my phone, etc. I was a little nervous waiting for final results due to this.
- Make sure to return from break a few minutes early, because proctor needs to sign you back in to your station. I had to wait until they got to me.
- Got my provisional pass on way out the door, and my official pass confirmation the next evening.
- Read the last sentence in the scenario question FIRST. So you know what to pay attention to when reading the scenario.
- Strike through the obviously wrong answers first, to stay focused.
- Mindset, mindset, mindset. When in doubt, mindset.

2024.05.21 21:42 Shawn_Deville Questions on end game progression
To start off with, im not a noob of these style of games. I played the demo and was unimpressed and figured I would come back when it was a better product. Ive beat all the souls games, souls like games, team ninja games, etc.. so I promise, I dont need my questions broke down super simplistic lol. I finished ROTR twice and came over to Wo Long. I typically stick with the games to make the most OP build I can for myself, which is what Im trying to accomplish here.
Im pretty sure I am blitzing through the game a little too fast and am fairly underleveled and surviving based solely on build and a little bit of skill lol. I basically blitzed through the campaign and got the platinum trophy, then the 3 DLCs, and have been moving onto the newest difficulty as soon as it unlocks to improve builds. Currently, I am level 181 and I unlocked I believe Dragon King difficulty with 8* rarity gear and then beat the first mission to make sure I could do so. No issues there. I figure I will step into the TMJ once I get max rarity gear drops.
Question 1 is what is the highest rarity level you can get on gear? I have seen conflicting information on this being that 8* was the max and also that 9* gear was available. Also, if there is a higher level than 8*, whats the best method to obtain it?
Question 2, what is the highest level you can upgrade gear and weapons? I have picked up a few +11 items already. I tried googling this and seen answers of +20 but no good information on how to get from +11 to +20 which seems like a stretch. So if it is much higher, how do you continue to progress efficiently?
Question 3, have I been following an appropriate progression path? I mainly ask because the mission I just completed was 401 and i was 181 and that seems kind of crazy. I realize that i skipped a bunch of missions, and thus potential Qi leveling, by jumping to next difficulty immediately but I have not been dying regularly so Im not sure if this is normal for most people. If I am following the appropriate path, where should I go from here? My original plan was to farm to max rarity level in most slots with a solid build, then start TMJ to max out. Im just not sure if thats correct at this point lol.
Hopefully some of you fellow grindy veterans can point me in the right direction so i dont waste too much time regrinding the wrong shit for the wrong loot! Thanks to the community in advance.
