2024.05.22 04:46 ilovechickenbbqpizza chance teeth-obsessed girl for these schools PLZPLZPLZ
Demographics: Rising senior, Indian, Female, East Coast. Super competitive school, 13 got into Penn, 8 into Cornell, 5ish into Georgetown, etc.
Intended Major(s): BS/DMD (early assurance dental school) programs at schools that offer. Otherwise, biochemistry/biology.
SAT: 1550 (750 EBRW, 800 Math)
UW/W GPA and Rank: UW is 3.91/4, W is 6.88/7, rank about 20 something (because we have 17 valedictorians đ)
Coursework: - Completed so far: AP Seminar, APUSH, AP Bio, AP Psych, APES, AP Lang, AP Research
- Senior Year: AP Chem, AP Lit, AP Calc BC (my school doesn't have AB), AP Stats, AP Macro + Micro, Human Anatomy Honors
Extracurriculars (kind of vague so I don't doxx myself): - Extern at a dental practice nearby - very hands on, I suction and such during procedures ranging from basic prophys to complex extractions or root canals - about 300 hours
- Research assistant at state uni's school of dentistry, working on a project dealing with constructive oral surgery and materials to be used - in the publishing process to top dental journals
- Research intern at local university, project on ALL growth using mice models
- Candidate for Leukemia Lymphoma Society's Student Visionaries of the Year Comp., raised over 38K in a 7 week period to go towards cancer research
- Leading a social-media based health-related (can't say specific topic bc of doxxing but it is a very niche topic and is helping fulfill a gap by reducing stigma) awareness campaign
- Wrote a review paper on cervical cancer and how it affects South Asian women specifically - in one of the final reviewing processes by The Lancet!
- Founder + Co-Pres of Operation Smile at my school (club focusing on cleft palates and helping kids with them in underprivileged countries)

- President of Indian Club, leading over 100 members in order to choreograph a 8 min dance for the school's International Day event as well as coordinating various cultural activities throughout the year
Essays/LORs: Definitely going to ask the dentist who owns the practice I extern at - she knows me super well, has been the one who sparked an interest in dentistry for me, and I also tutor her kids (11/10). In school, my math teacher (should be 10/10, we are quite literally best friends) and AP Bio teacher (8/10 - she likes my work and labs and uses them as examples, I just haven't participated the most in her class)
Other: The only thing keeping my GPA from being a perfect 4.0 is that I got 2 Bs in my freshman year (an 88 and an 87) in English and History. However, I've shown an upward trend, ending with all As for my sophomore and junior years, and my English grade improving up to a 99 final grade this year. So I hope it's not that much of a bad look?
Schools I'm Applying To: UPenn 7 Year BA/DMD (ED), Cornell, Barnard, Harvard for fun, UMich, NYU 7 Year BA/DMD, Case Western 7 Year BS/DMD, Boston University 8 Year BA/DMD, Tufts 8 Year BA/DMD, Carnegie Mellon, UNC Chapel Hill, Georgetown, and then some local safeties.

2024.05.22 04:27 theguzzilama Tailwalk Troutia Feerique C50L-T rod from Digitaka
| Got this rod from Digitaka today, in two days from ordering to Seattle. Awesome service by both Digitaka and FedEx. Rod comes in an almost comically elaborate box, and has a nice soft cover that protects the rod but also is open to keeping a reel on the rod. This is a 5ft telescopic rod with 7 sections, with 8 guides, plus tip. That's a high number of guides for a 5ft rod. For example, my 636 Daiwa BBB, which is 15in longer, has only 7 guides plus tip. More guides is better, but especially if they are not floating guides. The Feerique has only 3 floating guides, whereas the BBB has 4. The Feerique seems built to a very high standard. Neither rod nor packaging says where it was built (at least not in English), but the sections are much thinner than the CDM telescopics I've owned or seen. The quality of it reminds me of a line from the pretty good movie, The Last Samurai, when Algren observes about the Japanese, "From the moment they wake, they devote themselves to perfection in whatever they pursue.* I'll try to take it out tomorrow to see how it does. submitted by theguzzilama to BFSfishing [link] [comments] |

2024.05.22 04:00 FourRunner93 Multiple account users (sorry for photo quality)
| Sorry for bad photo quality, it was sent from an android to my iPhone. I do instacart as a side gig in addition to my 40 hour job but have recently noticed that in the Bay Area there are a lot of multiple phone shoppers. This is at a Costco in Mountain View. This is just one example. They do it at all the local Safeways and the grocery store I work at as well. Instacart doesnât do anything even when they are reported. When are they going to do something about this. My manager and I have confronted a few of these people and they donât speak English. I feel for the genuine people who do this as a full time job who can no longer get batches and money. submitted by FourRunner93 to InstacartShoppers [link] [comments] |

2024.05.22 03:17 FirePlug12 What is the rule of thumb when talking about language skills on resumes and interviews?
Clearly, we do not want to come off as fluent on the resume when we really are not but what if our skills is good enough that it warrants attention.
For example, as a language learner on my 3rd language and as part of the job, I can understand a 3rd language pretty well but my speaking is like at toddler level (huge disconnect) but I am able to get by because most people I deal with can understand English but have a hard time speaking (opposite of me) but the communication works. How would I present that in my resume? Do I put
Language 3: Comprehension C1 level, Speaking A1 level
If so, what do I put for my language 1 (parents native language at home) and language 2 (English at school) if I grew up bilingual? I read somewhere that technically, one is not considered native if you grew up with two languages. Which brings another question, I can read, speak, and write on my language 2 but my language 1 is only speaking and listening, I canât read for crap so how do I put that specifics on the resume if I go specific for language 3?
Sorry for the long post but I need help ):
Now that weâre at it, is it even worth writing down language 4 on the resume if weâre not atleast at B1 level?
Thank you so much!

2024.05.22 03:16 Sufficient_Eagle_614 1 st step
In this term,as a Asian student I have received the mark terrible enough to my mom will adopt a new kid.(âWe are in world top ten universities,you still good.âsaid by my white friend.As Asian we donât do that way,either you are good enough to make the 90% of people said âwellâ,or go home.Fight to be top is the nature,since we have nothing to lose.)
Especially ,for the international strategy course,which I took as elective module.The irony here is the reason why I take ,I though I would be good at this one .
After received the mark ,I was depressed and want to cry.(yes,I am weak.:)But I still have the exams to prepare,I told myself hold the anger and tear to express after the exam .
After exam ,I want to do an official appeal about the international strategy assignment.So I reach out with the director of this course.I was pissed out ,bcs I thought some comments ignored the thinking in my work,and they are only judging by how I present.(which have been negative influenced by my depression).All those excuse saved my self-esteem.
However after our meeting,I stop thinking this way.Yes ,the director is right,my job is bad .I always expect the reader can link the points and evidences without my analysis.Except that,I really need to change my cognitive model.I was to using web model to learn knowledge .ïŒgoing to discuss in next post.)
There is a thing called first principle in cognitive model,which is the way he want to see when we are analysis,like to link the analysis with our primary goal. For example,if we try to solve how car can run fast ,then think about what is the fundamental element make car run,and what is the fundamental element affect the efficiency.
Now,I accept I am sack at English writing and the deep learning.But I am going to change ,this is the first step-random post something in English .As long as I am moving and trying,still not flailed.I also tried to read more English books by myself instead of mother language vision.)
(Anyway,I really glad no one know me here.My fragile self-esteem always make me want to hide and give up.Like If I did not try hard,when I fail I still not a loser.I read one interview of Elon said try 10 times first. Ok then letâs try,I will be good in the future.) Thx for reading,left your comment tell me what you think. (Aaaa ,share point is really scare .)

2024.05.22 02:52 SheepwithShovels DAE feel like the guitar work of a lot of the more upbeat mathy or twinkly emo bands captures a similar feeling to the phonology of Frisian?
Full disclosure: I do not speak Frisian or play guitar. I do not know very much about music theory or linguistics. This is just an observation I have made. If Iâm using any terms incorrectly or misunderstanding something, please feel free to let me know.
When I say Frisian, I am referring to West Frisian. I havenât listened to enough of the other dialects of Frisian to say if it applies to Saterland Frisian and/or North Frisian as well. To a certain extent, what I am saying about West Frisian also applies to Dutch, which has a number of differences from Frisian (fewer vowel sounds, for example) but is closely related to it and has a similar feeling.
When I say âmathy or twinkly emoâ I am referring to the more energetic subgenre of midwest emo influenced by math rock and post rock that became more prominent in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Some refer to it as twinkledaddies. However, there is a more specific branch of twinkly emo that I believe shares the same feeling as Frisian. I am not talking about the more glum, atmospheric, and post-rock influenced twinkly emo. Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) and The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die do NOT sound Frisian.
I think Algernon Cadwallader is the best example of a band whose guitar work sounds like Frisian. I Love Your Lifestyle is a good example too. Thereâs something about the whimsical energy of these bands that can also be felt in Frisian.
With all of that said, itâs challenging to pinpoint which traits of Frisian and twinkly emo are responsible for this feeling they have in common. Even if we were to say that arpeggios, DAEAC#E tuning, or writing music in this or that key signature, that would not explain why Frisian and this corner of emo are connected.
English is closely related to Frisian and most Midwest emo bands are composed of people whose first language is English. I donât find this to be a compelling explanation at all though. Countless forms of music have sprung from the Anglosphere that do NOT feel Frisian in the slightest. There are many examples of artists making twinkly emo or music that sounds very similar whose tongues do not descend from Hengist or Horsa. As much as I adore the English language, I donât think itâs responsible for the similarities between twinkly emo and Frisian. Also, there was that one post about the guy from Uruguay back in the 80s whose guitar playing sounded really similar to today's midwest emo.
In all likelihood, this is a case of cultural convergent evolution. So far, I have not found any evidence that these early emo revival bands were going for a Frisian-inspired sound or have any connection to Frisia. Over the course of centuries, the Frisian language evolved to sound the way it does, and then later on this subgenre of emo independently captured the same feeling as Frisian phonetics. Were similar selective pressures placed on them to mold some deeper essence (what some might refer to as âvibesâ) in both Frisian and twinkly emo into twins? There are some things in language and music that may always remain mysteries. The most well known example of convergent evolution is that things keep evolving into crabs/crab-shaped animals. Rather than analogous body shapes, this can be thought of as two separate cultural phenomena (music and language) developing analogous essences. To compare it to the phenomenon of carcinisation, it would be like if a proto-crab evolved into a crab and then a bird evolved into a crab-shaped bird. They are both animals and both crab-shaped but not related.
Perhaps the simplest way of putting it is that the essence of twinkly emo is shaped like how the sound of Frisian is shaped.
So, what do you all make of this? Have you noticed the connection too? Do you have any theories on which traits of West Frisian and the more energetic twinkly emo influenced by math rock their common essence/âvibeâ? Do you have any theories on what caused it? Although I am not religious and therefore would find any explanations involving divine guidance or some other supernatural force hard to believe, please do not hesitate to share such theories if thatâs what you believe. I always try to keep an open mind. I have no interest in disputing anyoneâs faith in a higher power so long as it is not pushing them in the direction of blind hatred, violence toward innocent people, or pacifism in the face of a monstrous enemy. If you believe God played a role in this, I want you to feel comfortable sharing that but I also donât want a conversation about music and language to turn into a religious debate. Letâs try to keep things on topic and civil.

2024.05.22 02:34 No_Butterscotch_2739 i hate working here.
I canât wait to leave, I havenât even been there a month and i quite literally despise it. 12 an hour isnât horrible but not great for this economy either but I knew what i was signing up for. And the first week i worked every day and I could have enough to pay rent (remember this for later in the rant)
- The hiring process took forever, i was offered job on the spot, had a great interview and then it took them 4 weeks to get back to me????
- They said on my first day they would train me in jewelry, fitting room & register. I stayed on the register the entire shift 7.5 hours, and two weeks later thatâs all I know how to do still.
- I had open availability at the time of interview, during the long 4 week hiring process my father had a lung transplant ( đđ») I had to take care of him, and asked for weekends off, they cut me down to TWO DAYS a week, because I âlied about my availabilityâ.
- These credit cards, in my area there are a lot of different cultures, and many different languages that I hear around the store ( most donât speak english at all) but they still expect me to push a credit card and ask at least 3 times if they say no. How can you invite someone for a card if they donât speak english? Then it seems my coworkers SCAM the people who donât speak english because the customer doesnât realize that they are applying for a credit card⊠Its sad honestly, and I hate to work for a company who preys on people like this.
- My manager pulls me to the side everyday to tell me what I am doing wrong, âIâm not asking the right wayâ, example, when someone has a purchase for a small bag of gummy worms, why would they want to apply for a credit card. HECK they donât even want a BAG!!!
I used to work at a craft store who was strict on cards as well, but we were REQUIRED to let them know they were applying for a credit card.
Overall I hate it and canât wait to leave, I canât pay any rent with two days a week and itâs sad and hurts but oh well. Iâll keep shopping at TJX but donât work here. RUN

2024.05.22 02:27 Brilliant-Virus-4626 Can parentification lead to narcissism and how?
Hey everyone,
First of all, sorry if my English isnât perfect; itâs not my first language. I recently read a post that connected parentification with narcissism, which has made me question a lot about myself.
I don't have a diagnosis that I'm aware of yet. I was in therapy five years ago for two years. Unfortunately, my therapist back then switched to another institute, which ended our sessions. For the past year, I've been wondering if I might be a vulnerable narcissist. I'm in therapy again, but this therapist focuses more on the future than the past. Everyone tells me I'm not a narcissist, but I feel like they only know about grandiose narcissism. This thought haunts me, and I've been wondering if my former therapist was treating me for narcissism. Here are some reasons why I think she might have been:
- She told me I was parentified (my dad was murdered when I was two years old, leaving only my mom and me).
- I struggled to end my relationship with my ex-boyfriend because I was scared he wouldnât get over it. She explained it as co-dependency but never actually said I was co-dependent.
- At the beginning, she often said I needed to be more of an egoist and that even if I felt like I had the biggest ego ever, I wouldnât be one (I think she didnât know me well enough back then).
- She wanted me to get emotionally distant from my mom.
- She worked a lot on me feeling worthy, like telling me to close my eyes and perceive a situation from a place of worthiness and to tell myself "I am worthy" whenever I was at a red light.
- She advised me not to fly to my boyfriend after he cheated on me.
- She said I have very high expectations of myself.
- Even though I was feeling pretty good, she offered me to go to a day clinic to gain better insight into myself and my past.
I guess these things might seem like the opposite of narcissism, but since I feel like I'm the vulnerable type, I think she might have been trying to treat it by helping me develop self-compassion, reducing inner conflicts with others, and maybe unconsciously acting less manipulative and comparing myself less.
I relate to almost everything I read in this forum, and I just read an article by @polyphonic_peanut about standing up for yourself, which raises my belief that I might be a narcissist. She also describes parentification, not knowing your own needs, and building your own fantasy world, and so on. I think these experiences can also lead to narcissistic behavior.
My concerns about narcissism started in my past relationship (not the one where I was afraid the guy would do something to himself if I ended things). I noticed a lot of my own toxic behaviors. I was extremely jealous, devalued everything he did and the people he liked (especially girls), had trouble expressing my needs and setting boundaries, so I tried to get my needs met in sneaky ways. I was controlling, moody, hot and cold, guilt-tripping, accusing him of gaslighting me even though I did it, picking fights, victimizing myself, and accusing him of having autism or ADHD because I couldnât understand his behavior otherwise, silent treatment. I needed constant attention and got upset if he didnât act as I expected. I even engaged in hovering, stalking, and other unhealthy behaviors.
Since then, Iâm really questioning everything about myself, including every tear I cried in my life. Everyone things I am sensitive but I noticed that all my tears kind of go back to myself. For example a guy my age (27) in my small village died and I saw his parents 2 days after. I had to cry after I saw them but more because of the thought of how my parents would have felt if the suicide attempt one year ago would have worked⊠thatâs self centeredness isnât it?? Was it ever for someone else, or was it all for myself? On the outside I seem nice, but often I think poorly of people in my head.
I wonder if parentification can lead to developing a false self and narcissistic traits because you donât know how to stand up for yourself and get your needs met in a healthy, adult way.
Iâm also considering writing a message to the new institute where my previous therapist now works to ask her about me being a narcissist. I feel like she knew me well, and I was able to open up more to her back then.

2024.05.22 02:05 derroc [MEXICAN BOOT REVIEW] Russet Horsehide captoe service boots from John Doe Shoes, 1 month review
Album first:
https://imgur.com/a/ZnEVrHz Yet another review! I'm almost done with my collection, just 2 or 3 more and I'm done. When I'm finished, you'll have a very comprehensive guide of Mexican boot/shoemakers in my profile.
Why Mexican shoes? Because I live in Mexico, and they are more affordable and easy to find than other options. Besides, I get to support local business, and that is a big plus for me. Obviously, English is not my first language, so bear with me.
Disclaimer: This review has been completely sponsored by my compulsive shopping. I have not received any free boots or discounts, but if someone wants to give a free pair of boots, my feet are ready.
Brand: John Doe Shoes
John Doe Shoes is a Mexican boot/shoe manufacturer with a peculiar business model. You get to choose the leather first, then the boot or shoe style. When I was starting to get into boots I was really confused by their website, so I'll do my best to explain it:
Sample sale:
https://www.johndoeshoes.com/sample-sale These are shoes that in stock. You can buy those at a lower price, and you don't have to wait for them to make your boots. The downside is there's not really a lot of options, but it's worth it. I actually bought this boots from the sample sale. Pretty forward buying process. Prices are in USD, and they ship outside of Mexico.
Made to order:
https://www.johndoeshoes.com/mto/ Style guide:
https://www.johndoeshoes.com/style-guide/ Here you start choosing the leather. The pictures are just examples but when you click on "Brown SB Foot Tanning Co" you get to choose the exact model and sole you want. You can see their different models in the style guide. They have 2 lasts: milo last (like mine) and their normal last (more rounded in the front). If you see few photos of their work, you'll recognize them easily.
For example: Choosing "Brown SB Foot Tanning Co" > 420 Cap Toe (Milo Last) + D width + Studded sole + Goodyear welt > You'll get a similar boot as mine, but made with Brown SB Foot Tanning Co leather.
They have a running 3x2 sale. Just add 3 made to order shoes or boots to your cart, and you'll get the discount.
You can see some ideas of what to order in their social media, but they are not very active:
https://www.instagram.com/johndoeshoes/ The boots:
Russet Horsehide leather is not usually found in boots. It's no the fancy leather from a horse butt. It is more of a heavy-duty leather: thick, stiff and more visible grain. I think this particular leather is from Horween Tannery. I bought it in natural color, and it is veg tan, so it should develop a nice patina. These are my first natural veg tan leather boots.
- Upper: russet horsehide
- Leather lining
- Gusseted tongue
- Studded sole
- No midsole
- A half insole (or insert? idk the proper term). You can see the photo in the album.
- Goodyear welt construction
I paid $190 USD for them. Their normal price would be $292 but I got them from the sample sale.
About sizing, I'm a 9D brannock and I ordered that size. Another redditor recommended sizing down half a size for their Milo last, I kind of agree. I like my boots on the tighter side, so 8.5 would have been ideal. Anyway, I'll just add a leather insert or wear thicker socks.
I've got nothing bad to say about the build quality. I'm very pleased with what I got. I thought they would be stiffer at first, but after the ones from Urban Wolf Club, everything else seems lightweight.
Could be better:
- When I bought from the sample sale, I thought the one in the photo was literally the one I'm getting, but that's not the case. The one in the photo had their normal last, and I got the milo last. They should add what kind of last it has. I'm happy with my purchase, but still not ideal.
- There is no leather midsole. I have to be honest, up until this boots I had never questioned the existence of a midsole since all of my other boots had one. I honestly thought that was the standard. I'm very used to having leather midsoles, so I'll ask for one next time. I recommend you do the same.
- Communication is not ideal. I actually got the boots before the shipping status updated on my order. Shipping was fast, but I live in Mexico so that's expected.
Would I buy from them again:
Yep, that 3x2 sale seems like a really good deal. Besides, if I want a pair of longwings made with tan horsehide chromexcel, John Doe Shoes is THE PLACE to go. Just look at these beauties:
Tan Horsehide CX Connor Longwings. There are some mixed reviews on this sub, but my experience has been mostly positive. I'm sure I'll order again someday.

2024.05.22 01:57 RandomUserLikeU [TOMT] A series about the WW I can't find anymore
I'm really desperate by this point, cuz I think I just imagined it all. I have very foggy dreams at night about a series I supposedly watched. It was from Netflix (not sure if it was an original). I first watched it 7 or 8 years ago.
There are only few things I can remember. For example, it was an animated series about the WW2 (or WW1?? I can't remember which one), and there were those kids who were living at a small city. Some soldiers would pass by the streets and bother some people, the kid's parents would ask them to stay away from the soldiers. There was also a old man that lived with them, he would stay all day listening to the radio. I think all of them were blonde (dk how this could help but I just remember that).
There is a specific part I remember about them crossing a bridge (there were also a lot of families crossing the bridge too), they were escaping from their city, but I can't remember why. There was also that kid I remember called "Pierre", but I can't remember the other kids' names.
I used to watch this series with my dad, but he swears he doesn't know anything about this. I'm starting to think it never existed :(.
ps: I also remember a scene about the kids finding an English broken plane in the woods and an English soldier (can't remember if he was dead or alive), but it may be possible I'm mistaking it with another movie I saw that had this same type of scene.

ps: I also remember a scene about the kids finding an English broken planet in the woods and an English soldier (can't remember if he was dead or alive), but it may be possible I'm mistaking it with another movie I saw that had this same type of scene.

2024.05.22 01:26 Longjumping-Hair-844 How do I become more or completely hetero.
How do I become hetero?
Hey, at the beginning I want to mention that my mother language isnât English so shame on me when I sound kinda weird⊠So, Iâm still young and Iâve got a problem. Like u can see in the headline, I struggle with my sexuality. Since I had my first kiss in primary school, I always felt in Love with girls. I love the relationships, the feeling with being with one and I do loved the girls which I was able to call my girlfriend. However, I often realize that I also kinda like boys or men. Like I do got my homies and there is no interest bc I love them as brothers. And I do not like directly anyone I can see bc that would be weird. But somehow I get attracted to men if they are good looking or if they have a vibe that matches to mine. Also sounds kinda weird but in p0rn*s I do get attracted to dicks too and they turn me on sometimes but I hate that. I grew up with a lot of friends, mostly girls. It was just randomly bc my neighbors were girls and bc of my sis I also knew many more. I always understood them and I made good friends with some of them.
But what I want to say is: Since my last relationship my heart broke completely. Iâm on a good way but the last weeks I feel like womanâs are mostly always the same. When I meet someone new, a guy for example, I always get along completely fine with them and there is nothing strange. But sometimes I do know that There are feelings for the gender and I do like some but in real life i feel disgusted when I think about sex with menâs and the ship with someone but Also itâs hart to me to think about sex with womanâs bc I really want to and I would but Iâm Totally unsure or insecure idk bc I feel like Iâm not good enough for anyone especially womanâs and have also the thought in my mind that I do could be attracted to men but I hate that And I donât want to get bi or gay or smth like that. Sometimes I like gay p*rns more than one with a girl inside but I would NEVER start smth with a guy. Thatâs disgusting.
I hate myself for feeling so and I want to be completely hetero. I accepted, that the way of Living âgayâ is NO option. Wonât change anything about it. Is there something like conversion Therapy? In my country itâs illegal lol. I want to change it. I know I canât bc everyone says that but there is no way I can accept that. I want to be only attracted to girls and all that what comes with it. And I do love girls but itâs weird and I donât understand. PS: idk if it helps to understand but Iâm literally a therapist in my social range. I understand more problems than the problems itself but on google I only read answers to similar question like âyou have to accept, otherwise u wonât be happyâ but sexuality is just an interest, isnât it? So it can be changed like interests can be changed. No matter what I have to do. There is always a way. What is wrong with me?

2024.05.22 01:17 poppypess Vote Claremont, Emmys Edition
| This is late, but my friend and I went to the for-your-consideration event for RWRB. It was a trip. But it was a work function first. Members of the TV Academyâand their plus-ones, if they received oneâgathered in a studio in the sweaty belly button of Hollywood. If you were a normal Angeleno like u/sixfivesteve (the friend), you sat in your car blasting the AC while the valet line bumped forward one car length at a time. If you were from a walking city, you pushed past the slow-moving tourists, hoped the flies circling a mysterious stench didnât lay eggs on you, and checked in with an attendant who wore a concerning amount of black for someone whose job was to stand in direct sun. There was a (life-changing) screening of the movie, a panel, and a reception. There was also retail politics. Hereâs what happened. Whoever put together the playlist knew what they were doing The vibe before the screening was jolly. There was a whole bathroom conversation about 1) therapeutic cannabis, because youâve gotta, and 2) people everyone has run into. Ushers handed out mini-servings of popcorn that felt stingy as hell but were probably just nutritionist-recommended serving sizes. Steve grabbed candy and water that came in slightly less environmentally disastrous packaging than the stuff youâd get from most grocery stores. Whoever put together the playlist had done their homework, by which I mean theyâve spent time on the non-broey part of the internet. This is where I tell you that the event featured strip club music, by which I mean they played âPonyâ by Ginuwine. Before and after the screening. It was as if whoever set up the playlist knew that some attendeesâ brainsâand bitsâmight explode, reconstitute themselves, and implode again under stimulus (the movie), work event be damned. The screening was a case for seeing movies in theaters for the sound. Because⊠You could hear the beginning of the blow job. You could hear the beginning of the blow job. You could hear the beginning of the blow job. In the space of about a second, I went from living in a world in which that scene had a lilâ zipper sound to one where the zip was followed by a flat, wet drag. The sound had texture. It almost had temperature. Yâall, I am forever changed. Always see movies in the theater. Nolan, Tarantino, et al have talked about this. Theyâre right. Listen to this man before he teaches you a lesson. Something else Iâd seen but never before heard while watching the movie in home setups: Bea says âno!â when Henry declines Alexâs call in the meeting with Philip, Tommy, and other palace staff. She doesnât just mouth it. Her interjection interrupts Philip mid-sentence, who glares at her and says, âAs I was sayingâŠâ Itâs also just fun to hear the audienceâs reactions. Some of the laugh lines: - âYouâve been wanting him to dick you down for years.â
- âHow many guys have you been with?â âWhoa.â
- âHe is. đâ An audience member let out a sound like a hyena choking itself with a belt.
- âIâm down.â
- âI mean, who says âmake loveâ anymore? Are we gonna listen to Lana del Rey while we do it?â You guys, he said do it. Because I'm twelve.
- âThe B in LGBTQ is not a silent letter.â Man, politiciansâ kids must hear all kinds of pamphlet-speak at home.
- âLittle lord fuckleroy.â Sarah Shahi is going from lesbian icon to overall queer icon with this role. Zahra/Sarah got massive applause during the end credits.
- âWe have got to get you a book on English history.â
Somehow no one laughed about Stephen Fryâs pronunciation of homosexual. Hummusseggsual. Itâs hummus but itâs also seggs-ual. Speaking of sexual, the crowd held its breath during the sex scenes. Emmy voters have watched plenty of sex scenes with their colleagues, but after the bravely-repressing-a-wobble acknowledgement of I owe you an explanation, after ~very bad things~ in Alex's room, after the phrase âmake loveââwhich deserves to be not just roasted but incineratedâthe Paris sex scene wasâŠrelief? Revel? Revelation? Look at me trying to talk around the effect the scene (may have) had on the room. People were off-gassing oxytocin. Estradiol. Testosterone. Since it was a work event, the weight and texture of the hush was what youâd get if everyone on a group camping trip was trying to discreetly watch porn. (To paraphrase the dad from Easy A, high-end pornâfor governors and athletes, but porn nonetheless.) But I project. Uma Thurman did an Ariana Huffington laugh during the panel I laughed and laughed and laughed. What should I say about the panel? That everyoneâs features were somehow both full and sharp enough to thin-slice the cured meat of your choice? That Taylor Zakhar-Perez made a small breeze every time he blinked? That Nicholas Galitzine was a diffident dumpling? That Uma Thurman was an intellect? That Rachel Hilson was lithe and and fresh-faced and ready for any cosmetics campaign you threw at herâwhich, incidentally, has always described Uma Thurman? That Matthew LĂłpez was extremely cute? That Greg Berlanti was the dad/uncle some of your friends wanted as a mentor and others had wholesome crushes on? That Sarah Schechter was the friendâs cool older sister made good? That if you put the RWRB cast into an early AlmodĂłvar movie, the result would be credible? Whatever I can say about the panel, you can get more straightforward coverage and footage of it elsewhere, including this subreddit. (Check out the post from the woman who got so horny from watching the movie that she started going after her husband nonstop.) I did a search on Tumblr for âRWRB FYC panelâ for you. Youâll get Galitzine saying âthe throes of love.â Youâll get TZP talking about matcha. Youâll get Casey McQuistonâthat perfectly cast nonbinary creator-god of the RWRB universeâdescribing their brush with psychological collapse when TZP tried to have a conversation with them while in costume as Alex Claremont-Diaz. Enjoy. The campaign trail is paved with selfies Campaigning for nominationsâand eventually, awardsâis not so different from running for public office. The panel ended and everyone was set loose on the panelists and the âimmersive for-your-consideration experience.â (Sure.) Getting to the cater waiters to pinch mini-tacos, meh crabcakes, fish and chips with tartar sauce instead of vinegar (why?), and tiny cake cubes was like wading upstream. The crowd was moving in the opposite direction. Why? âŠoh. Galitzine was taking photos with people. Elsewhere in the immersive whositwhatsit, TZP was doing the same thing with a swarm of his own. https://preview.redd.it/rkp916mxzu1d1.jpg?width=1818&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e01a4cf99ae5163c766e8bc284f219526b450e3a https://preview.redd.it/hzco2eev4v1d1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=922d4d097f214d4bb9a5747de05b76cfe579d23b Iâd thought they were on display during the panel, but no. This was what they were there for. They were there to shake hands, talk shop brieflyâwith occasional promises to follow up laterâand take selfies. The reward for all this would (theoretically) be nominations and votes. This was a campaign stop. On-theme for RWRB. Cue montage of Alex Claremont-Diaz making fundraising calls. Can you get a charley horse in your face? I bet the actors had them, but thatâs campaign life. Forward Together and all that. Matthew LĂłpez and the producers wandered the floor. At one point, I heard Casey McQuiston tell a small group about how they didnât have any particular in with agents or publishers. It often is about flinging yourself out there, whatever you want to do. A vote for RWRB is a vote for softness (stop reading here to avoid egghead content) While weâre speaking in campaign terms, who and what is RWRB for? Itâs for people who love love. Itâs for people who love funâwho are fun, dammit. Itâs for people with uomosexual tendencies (uomo = Italian for âmanâ). Itâs for the occasional lucky straight guy. Most of all, itâs a refuge from straight-guy culture. Hereâs what I mean. The two RWRB panels and the Roast of Tom Brady happened in the same week-long time frame. If youâre reading this, youâre almost definitely in the tank with RWRB. The Roast is straight-guy culture cranked up to eleventy billion by comparison. If we go by the Roast, straight-guy culture looks like big men the color of medium-rare steak yelling dick jokes from the daisâbut using the less funny and more aggressive and self-regarding âcockâ instead. It looks like Gronk pretending he canât read and using Kim Kardashianâs genitalia to make a beef pun. It looks like Nikki Glaser, the token straight-woman comedian, being a good sport while the men in attendance called her ugly. Donât get me wrong. I watched and laughed. A good dick joke takes skill, and some of them were damn good. I even thought Julian Edelman was hot for 20 minutes. But the tonal difference between the Roast and the RWRB eventâto say nothing of RWRB itselfâwas jarring. Straight-guy masculine culture is so committed to not being soft. Donât go soft is basically its motto. Meanwhile, RWRB is aboutâamong other thingsâsoftness. Henry Car-Crash-of-Last-Names gives the object of his attraction the up-and-down, but in a way thatâs more endearing than objectifying. He doesnât do the hard stare. Heâs all-in on Byron, Austen, Zadie Smith, andâŠStreisand. Unlike Gronk, Henry can read, and he reads with relish. So does Alex, of course. The American is sweet and proactive. When he develops feelings for a friend with (many) benefits, heâs matter-of-fact about it and doesnât get defensive or evade his emotions. In other words, Alex and Henryâs masculinity is soft. Soft masculinity acknowledges the dimensions of a person beyond how well they can slam into other men (sporty or sexual) or women (sexual). For a lot of people, soft masculinity is a fantasy and a gift. It can be a gift to anyone. Look at Steve. He finds that version of masculinity intoxicating, even as someone whoâs already a winner of the masculinity lottery, at least as defined by large parts of straight-guy culture. Heâs white and tall and strong and has hoes (houses), not in every area codeâsorry, rappers who talk about that kind of thingâbut some good ones. He loves RWRB. Everything about it. (Lest you thirsty beasts start having big thoughts about him, heâs married.) Steve even inserted himself into the height contest/debate Galitzine and TZP sometimes have for lulz. He had a âyouâre wearing liftsâ conversation of his own. Not with TZP. With Galitzine, who joked about wearing lifts himself. It was still not enough to top Steve. (How funny would it be if this is when I reveal that Steve is Conan OâBrien? To be clear, heâs not. Besides, Conan OâBrien is sixfourconan.) â â â â The next night, while Steve and I were still catatonic from staying up until alarming hours, another panel took place in front of a crowd of people who didnât need to consider anything about RWRB. They were already real-ass, excited fans who saw Alex and Henryâand for some of them, Galitzine and TZPâas secular saints of cheerful-romantic-triumphant horniness. Avatars of the kinds of guys you could have a crush on in middle- and high school without raising alarms (unless you were a boy being raised by homophobes, in which case Iâm sorry). The audience on that second night got the news of a sequel from Matthew LĂłpez, who spoke directly to them from the stage. They cheered and whooped and began their vigil for round two. SĂ, se puede. submitted by poppypess to redwhiteandroyalblue [link] [comments] |
2024.05.22 01:15 Mysterious-Plum-7584 Just some stuff I wanted to vent about
(Sorry if this is a little all over the place.) Iâve started getting chest pains from loneliness/ sadness. For example, thereâs this girl who I sit across from in my English class who I have a massive crush on, but every time I look over at her (which I do frequently because sheâs so pretty) I get tingly pains in my chest and a sinking feeling because I know I donât have a chance with her. Unfortunately Iâm someone whoâs been shown so little attention throughout my life that anytime a girl so much as glances at me, Iâm already imagining a future with her. Much less the fact that not only does she glance at me, we actually talk and joke during class. I know that sheâs just being friendly, but I just canât stop thinking about her and itâs killing me. Like Iâm in tears typing this because I know that sheâd never see me as anything more than a loose acquaintance. This literally happens every time I sit next to a girl in class. It just sucks. Anyway, Iâve also been hitting myself more frequently, like punching myself in the face on side of the head to the point I have fairly noticeable bruises. And itâs not even from really crazy stuff, like last night when I last did it, the reason was because I lost a bag of my adhd meds. Thats it. But I was just so angry for some reason. Like deep firey anger, and all I could think to do was to hit myself, as punishment or to get out frustration I guess. After that I went to the gym and ran the treadmill til I couldnât anymore and that helped. I feel so angry and bitter and sad all the time. Itâs like I have a grey cloud of loneliness above my head at all times.

2024.05.22 01:08 lolzsmite1018 [TOMT] Story Involving Computer Being Thrown out of School Window
Alright. There's this story that I remember having to read in elementary school, specifically in 4th grade. I don't remember much except for the following details:
- If I remember correctly, it was an absurdist novel for children where one major location that the story took place in was a school.
- In the intro, a science teacher is explaining gravity to her students via a newly purchased expensive computer. Instead of using it normally for her lessons in gravity, she throws the computer out of a window from a very high floor of the school with her students watching it fall and hit the ground below before explaining to them that what just happened was an example of gravity at work.
- It may have been written by Roald Dahl because I remember having to read his novels for English back in 4th grade.

2024.05.22 01:07 Amazing-Contest-7985 Links between Frankenstein and FNAF?
Im sure someone else as has mentioned this at some point but i cant help but notice the similarities between Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and The early FNAF timeline (games 1-6) both in main plot points and minute specific details. I am aware that it is not a perfect comaruson at all, just something i thought was interesting after studying the novel as well as watching the fnaf timeline videos. For example, in the beginning of the novel, Victor falls deep into his studies, becoming extremely obsessed and enraptured with the essence of life and mortality, more specifically how to extend and create life Much like William's experimentations and studies in robotics, shown through the blueprints etc. Seen in sister location in creating animatronics for the specific purpose of luring and capturing children for his experiments with remnant, experiments in bestowing life to a once inanimate creature, much like the creature created by Victor. Another way FNAF parallels with Mary Shelley's Frankenstien is through the death and distruction of the family unit due to the protagonists horrific actions, for Victor, this is through the tragic death of his younger brother William, (a funny coincidence but not the main point) a murder caused by his own creation, much like the death of the crying child in FNAF, as well as the death of Victor's best friend HENRY clerval, His wife ELIZABETH, his father and eventually himself as well as the extreme trauma bestowed on the only surviving member of the family who witnessed these horrors , Ernest. (another few strange coincidences that do not contribute at all to my point but i thought it was worth noting anyway. I am aware they are common names i just thought it was worth a note when compairing the parallels in thr two stories.) Similarly, William's experiments are also what ends up in the distruction of his family, causing the death of his youngest son, his daughter Elizabeth, the ALMOST death and extreme trauma of Michael due to his fathers experiments as well as the trauma bestowed on Henry through the loss of his daughter and being associated with someone who could commit such horrible acts, the loss of his wife (through divorce/separation or otherwise) and his own "death" once again at the hand of his own creation, his springlock suit. There are multiple other parallels and similarities i could call out but these were the most prominent that stood out to me while studying the novel. Im aware a lot of this is coincidental but as Frankenstien is considered the novel that completely changed the Horror genre i couldnt help but think if perhaps it unintentionally influenced the FNAF storyline. Again, im aware this is HIGHLY UNLIKELY but i just thought it was interesting to look into the parallels of two things that at a first glance could not be more different that turn out to have many more similarities beteen their underlying stories than at first glance. I'd love to know if anyone else has found something similar with other works of literature or film in the past, i think its a really facinating topic!
(Thanks to my english teacher for this idea btw, gotta love it when your teacher is not only a HUGE nerd but a theorist too)

2024.05.22 00:38 MadGod544 Infernal Master-Glimpse of Eternity Use
Greetings to all. The question is on the ability description:
"Glimpse of Eternity (Psychic): Once per turn, you can change the result of one Hit roll, one Wound roll, one Damage roll or one saving throw made for this model to an unmodified 6" - Does it mean that I can change the result of a roll of 1 Hit Dice, 1 Wound Dice, and 1 Damage Dice in a Turn (for example, I change 1 Wound and 1 Damage Dice in the Shooting Phase for Screamer Invocation attack, then Charge, and change 1 Hit Dice for the Melee Attack), or I have to choose One Dice to change from either Hit, Wound or Damage? *English is not my native language, maybe it is already RAW clear.
- I would really appreciate a reference to Rules/FAQ/Commentary to support the statement because I found none so far.

Hello everyone(sorry my bad english) i see the game has "mixed" reviews and cannot understand why exactly so i have a few questions before buying
1: how do you feel the exploration/battle? Some people say boring i dont know why. How is compared for example to the last Dragon Quest?
2: the story of the game is new right? I mean nothing about the canon of the manga
3: Can i use for example Zoro all the game and even walk in the open world with him? Or in some parts are you forced with other characters?
Thank you kindly for the help!
