my (20f) and my bf (19m) have been having unprotected sex recently but ive been taking plano every time. last three times we had sex i didn't take a plan o because he didn't cum the first two and he pulled out the last time(all were on different days and not during ovulation). it's been 12 days since the first time and i have been feeling minor cramps, minor back pain and high anxiety because neither one of us want a baby atm. my period is expected to come on june 3rd and having to wait that long is making this situation a whole lot scarier. (i know it's the worst thing we could do, we were basically asking for it ig) does anyone have any advice on what to do to decrease the chances of pregnancy during these next two weeks?

With the dungeon blast changing tomorrow, does anyone know if the accumulated exp earned by doing the dungeon blast carry over to this new one?
I’ve been saving up my EXP and want to make sure i’m not losing it all tomorrow if i don’t use it today

So, I (F38) was the only one at my parents home for a couple of weeks while they were on an out of country trip in March so I could house-sit and pet-sit their two cats and two dogs, while also keeping up on my college studies. We were having nasty weather the entire time the folks were gone and it's not uncommon that the weather might affect, or even knock out internet signal. Our neighbor is in her early 50s. I'll call her Jean. Some months ago, she had a roommate move in who is in her late 40s/approaching her 50s. I will call her Lisa.
During this stormy weather, Lisa texted me and asked me if our internet was working and if so, could she connect to it for the night because like me, she is doing college courses online and was in the middle of homework and could not get her laptop to connect back to theirs or get theirs to reset. I figured it was just the storm had knocked theirs out so I said, "Okay.But that password doesn't go to anyone else and please reconnect to yours when you get it back on." She agreed and thanked me. That was the second week of March.
This week and last week, the internet has been especially slow and that has been a seemingly increasing issue. Now, while I don't think it's solely due to anyone else using it, it did make me wonder if Lisa had ever got it switched back over. I had just assumed she did and didn't give it a second thought at the time. I shot her a text and asked her last night if she had switched back over to their internet or if, by chance, was she still using ours. It was late but as she is up late at night a lot and I could see the light still on where her bedroom window is from mine, I had sent it anyway. Almost immediately, I received the read receipt, but no response.
So, I mentioned the whole thing to my folks and told them I was pretty sure she just keeps using our internet. They were understandably irritated about it too so I went ahead and changed the password to our wifi, got all our devices at home logged back in and went to bed. Almost 7 hours later, I get a reply in which Lisa claimed she had just seen the message, that SHE hadn't been using our internet and had just been relying on her mobile Hotspot on her phone to connect her laptop to, but that Jean had been using it for their TV but "I guess you don't want us to have it since you changed the password."
Now, I really like Jean a lot and she has been super kind and helpful when our family has needed it and we try to do the same in return.
Jean has told us Lisa had agreed to a monthly rent amount but hasn't paid since the first month and keeps saying she has a check coming and the she'll pay Jean. Lisa does not contribute to grocery money. She doesn't contribute any rent so she isn't helping with bills and last we knew, the only thing she WAS covering was the internet bill. Lisa's boyfriend 'Greg' stays over for a few days a week and spends all day and night with her. He doesn't contribute to bills either and Jean has been absolutely stressed out over being the only one working. On top of all that, she never gets a break because on her days off from work, Jean's daughter drops her granddaughter off (and often in the afternoons after she gets out of work and her granddaughter gets out of school, too).
I ignored Lisa's message and after the folks got up, I told them about it. They agreed that considering "for the night" had been over 2 months and no one had asked if they could just use out internet for a while, she has no reason to send something so arrogant.
However, a couple of hours later, my mother says she thinks we just need to give Jean the new password because she has done a lot for us and she is dealing with so much stress because of Lisa and that if having our internet helps her out, then we should. I said I understand that but I AM concerned that if they give her the new one, it will wind up being given to Lisa, to Jean's daughter and her friend that hangs out there frequently.
I am POSITIVE that Lisa either told Jean that she was still paying for internet service and just told her what network to connect to or she told Jean that we said they could just use ours if rhey couldn't get their own and I don't know which. Whichever it was, Lisa lied. I HATE being lied to and I HATE being nice or helpful to someone and they take advantage of it. Now, with their concern about adding stress to Jean and being unfair to her, my folks have since changed their mind and think I'm being TAH and are even making excuses for Lisa now, suggesting I started up an issue. They gave the new PW to Jean (which again, I see nothing wrong with) knowing it will likely be given to Lisa again and that just feels like awarding bad behavior.

Hey there! I'm GMing Strength of Thousands for a group of my friends (who very much should not be reading this; if you're here and doing so, you know who you are, shoo), and we've been playing for the past couple of months. Just had a session the other night where I got to implement a particular idea I had based on prior session events, and I wanted to talk about it somewhere, to maybe get some feedback on the idea or maybe see if it's something others have done.
I've ran Book 1 pretty by-the-book for the most part, with some additions like bringing in some backstory NPCs, the party's masks being relics, and, maybe most importantly as a change from what's purely presented in the book - Stone Ghost, back during his time as Uduak, having been a student at the same time as Ot. Pretty big timing change, but I've got some justifications for it already, plus it allowed the party to get some information on the "big bad" of the book where otherwise it seemed like they might not get much at all about him.
That said, the party still seemed underwhelmed by Stone Ghost after their encounter with him under the school, and seemed pretty convinced that they hadn't seen the last of him. And, you know what? I agreed. They'd gotten some hints and backstory about this guy, but only properly encountered him directly one time. So, I began working on drafting up an idea tied to someone else they found in those tunnels - Binji.
Poor, sweet Binji. The party took a liking to her pretty immediately; they caught a glimpse of her at the end of one session and practically bee-lined toward interacting with her in the next one, and they've effectively adopted her. It hasn't been too long so far, but they've seemingly made it their mission to improve her lot, and have started doing some research and calling in favors to get her some help with her lice situation, clothes, making sure she gets comfortable accomodations and doesn't just sleep outside despite her insistence that it would be totally okay... All of that fun stuff. The Magus in the party has even expressed a desire to teach her some combat skills, and the party together have made some comments about trying to get her into the Magaambya as a student.
So, the party has a new friend they've adopted from the tunnels, and a defeated enemy who is still lingering, bound by a grudge and ancient magic firmly entwined with his soul. With Noxolo's help and Ot's urging to see if Uduak could be contacted, to help him move on if nothing else, the party engaged in a small ritual (nothing official in terms of system rituals, just a "vibes-based" thing Noxolo was doing) in which they managed to summon Uduak, but the protective aspects failed due to his unique circumstances. After multiple turns protecting Noxolo, a second "ritual" was enacted to bind Uduak's spirit, which also didn't work as intended - and so, little ol' Binji has found herself with the mark of a summoner, and the proud, angry Uduak Basni now finds himself as her eidolon.
Anyway! Just needed to ramble these thoughts out into the world somehow. I'm definitely looking forward to including more of these two throughout my time running the AP. Uduak's likely going to be taking some hits to his pride, on top of this situation vastly limiting his potential to cause additional trouble on campus. And it's looking like Binji will need to spend some time learning about what this new ability is, which should hopefully give me a good excuse for her to take a bit of time before joining the school properly and becoming an initiate later on. Perhaps in time for Book 3!

Hey everyone!
You need to hear about $BELMAR memecoin! This is seriously the next big thing in the crypto world. The marketing budget is absolutely wild, so you`re going to see BELMAR everywhere soon. Plus, Team is giving away a Mclaren at a 100 Mill. Market cap, crazy right?
The team is in talks with the real Luke Belmar. With his influence, this coin is set to explode. The team behind BELMAR is legit, too. They’re super ambitious and have big plans for the future. I have readed on the chat that they are planning to make daily animations on socials, something that assures that they have a wide marketing budget and that the team is going for it!
It's still early days for BELMAR, which means now is the perfect time to jump in. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get in on the ground floor and ride the wave.
Dont miss out on this one, you will regret it

I 22M feel confused and stupid I am crushing hard on my best friend 24M we have been friends for years and I have been crushing for a few years. It is exhausting trying to figure out if he likes me or not or if part of him feels the same way. And I just don’t know. He talks about women and has a tinder account. But things between us feel different like I feel like we are really close and I cannot figure out if it is because we are really good friends or if there is something more I can’t help but think about him even when I try not too but when I am with him the feelings become overwhelming, I recently moved out from my parents into an apartment and since then things feel different. It almost feels like we are in a relationship without the relationship things I am just really confused deep down I don’t think he likes me in that way but then when I am with him, we just seem to understand each other the conversations we have go on for hours, he doesn’t know I am gay so it’s weird because I have to tread lightly with everything and try not to make it look like I like him even though I do. I am I crazy for thinking about him in that way?. Things feel really different like more intense the conversations, the jokes it feels like it is getting harder and harder to hide the way that I feel and sometimes I just want to kiss him or tell him but I am terrified of ruining our friendship or to find out that it is completely one sided I just don’t know lol. Can anyone give me some advise or help me out.
Do I keep pushing it down and force my self to forget about it?.

I'll start with our background. We started dating in our late teens, were both raised very conservative and religious, but have not been for a very long time. Between dating and being married we've been together nearly 20 years. We both only had 1 sexual partner prior from previous relationships that we both thought were mistakes and wish we'd been each other's first. I definitely have a stereotypical guy high libido, but I'd always thought I didn't need a bunch of sexual conquests because I'd be happy just doing all those things with the person I love.
 
Along the way my wife came out as bi. This didn't bother me at all, especially with her stance at the time of "It just means I also find women attractive just like I find some other men attractive, but I'm married and happy with you so that's not something I need act on". She said she'd probably been bi a long time, but took a long time to admit it to herself due to religious upbringing. I also have an unconventional curiosity. Basically I'm a straight guy, but I happen to find dicks attractive at times despite not being attracted to the rest of the male body. About 3-ish years ago she brought up the topic of if she could act on her curiosities with women. She wanted to try making out and maybe playing with boobs, but seemed extremely hesitant at the prospect of anything below the waist. Since she brought that up I asked about if I'd be able act on my curiosity, with a bonus benefit of maybe it being an outlet for me as well with our struggling sex life (at the time she had a very low libido and I'd get rejected 95% of the time when I tried to initiate sex). After discussing we essentially ended up opening the marriage with the boundaries being:

• She couldn't do anything with other men (nor did she want to).
• I couldn't do anything with other (cis) women.
• It would only be for physical fun. Neither of us could have a romantic relationship with someone else. (I knew and told her there was a high probability I would end up feeling neglected/jealous/insecure if I had to share her romantically). So no gf or bf, just a FWB at most.
• She didn't want this to be something that happened frequently.

Now initially I felt completely fine with the prospect of her fooling around with women. I guess it was just kinda the typical male fantasies of 2 women getting sexual together being hot and who knows if that'd potentially lead to a threesome later (though she no gave indication of that being a possibility). She seemed more hesitant at the prospect of me acting on my curiosities, but gave permission since she thought it only seemed fair if she was allowed to act on hers. I started looking after that and ended up finding a pre-op trans woman. This kinda clicked with me since I was attracted to dick, but not male bodies. We met up and she fucked me. Physically things felt good, but the combination of it being my first time having casual sex and it being very unconventional sex made it feel really awkward for me. Afterwards I felt terrible, like I had cheated. When I told my wife I was literally trembling. She was shocked that I actually did it, and said she felt a little weird but that ultimately she was fine with it. I felt better after she wasn't mad or anything. Now a more stereotypical big kink for me is anal, but I've hardly ever got to try it to even know if it lives up to the reputation of the fantasy I've built up of it in my head. My wife had always been super dead set against even trying it, eventually let me try a couple of times after we'd been married for years, but essentially had her mind made up it was going to be terrible before we even got started so that kinda fell flat despite technically getting to try it. I asked if I could try anal with a trans woman since cis women were off the table. She gave me permission, then a small number of weeks later I met up with the same trans woman and fucked her. Despite physically feeling good, it still felt super awkward to me. I basically ended up coming away with the lesson that casual sex isn't all it's cracked up to be and I HIGHLY prefer sex be with someone I'm very emotionally attached to (aka, my wife).
 
I texted my wife at work to let her know right after it happened. Apparently she let out an audible "god dammit" after she read the text. She said she was fine with it but started kinda giving signs that she was uneasy. It seemed like every few weeks she'd ask in a concerned tone if I'd done anything else since then and I'd tell her I hadn't (the truth) and that if I did I'd tell her. I'd still get horny at times, the fantasy would sound more appealing, I'd browse around online some for an opportunity but between people being flaky and me kinda feeling unsure if I should, nothing ever happened again. I'd mentioned to my wife about browsing around some and I can't remember her specific words now but it gave me the feeling she wasn't crazy about it. Eventually I told her I'd basically given up on that and deleted my relevant accounts. Her response was "good", and not long after that she gave me a hug and said she just prefers monogamy. She didn't explicitly say I couldn't do anything else or that the marriage was closed, but it seemed soft closed after that. I'd occasionally fantasize about my stuff, but post nut clarity after porn was basically that the fantasy was more enticing than the reality. She never attempted to search out someone for her curiosity during this time.
 
The beginning of last year my wife got off her birth control that she'd been on for years. A month or two after that her libido started to come back and things have been great. We'd been very fulfilled and don't feel like I need any other outlet. Early this year she mentioned she wanted to try to act on her curiosity now and asked if I was still ok with it. I said I was, and I guess it seemed fair given I got to act on mine before. It was still the same boundaries we set before and she reiterated it'd probably be some infrequent thing. I think she really started in earnest in March. She kissed a friend, but the friend didn't want to go further than that and make things weird. I felt kinda weird, but I still felt fine at that point. Then she started talking to a girl online, met up in public to get to know each other a bit more, gave a kiss goodbye, and had rough plans that when their schedules/privacy aligned they'd meet up for something sexual. I still felt ok at this point, but then my wife started borderline getting obsessed and it started making me more and more uneasy. She hadn't even done anything with this girl yet but was talking about trying to do this every couple of weeks, saying very poorly worded things such as "what does 'romantic relationship' even mean?" (she later clarified on that, but at the time sure felt like she was purposely trying to push on boundaries). When she could tell I was getting uneasy she'd say stuff like "if you pull the plug on this then I won't be happy not getting to explore this part of myself". There were 2 separate times that when her plans with a woman got cancelled she was so distraughtly disappointed that couldn't get back to sleep and had to call in to work because she had horribly under slept.
 
She talks about how I owe her at least 2 times since that's what I got, but she's kissed 5 women since this started, fooled around with 2 of them above the waist, and wanted below the waist too but badly timed periods kept her from that. She says none of that counts towards her 2 times because they weren't full on sex. I want to be comfortable with it for her, but I just can't seem to be anymore. I feel like it'd be dickish to cut her off before her 2 times, but even when I talk to her about the prospect of closing the marriage after her 2 times she can never seem to acknowledge that she could accept that. She just says stuff like "I just really hope you don't" and "I hope we can find some compromise where we can both be happy". She now says I can look for a woman to do anal with. I tried to entertain that idea, but ultimately felt like I just don't want to bother with all that hassle for casual sex (further complicated by a lot of people not wanting to deal with married men, and even more complicated by them needing to be up for anal). She's now mentioned she'd try anal with me some more now if that'll make me ok with her stuff. She does specify that I'm the one she loves and wants to spend the rest of her life with and that she's not going to leave me for a woman, but that she wants to explore this part of her sexuality. She's also been very affectionate and sexual with me because she says she doesn't want me to feel like neglected over this. She doesn't explicitly say this, but she acts more like it's a need now instead of a curiosity or want. At this point I'm pretty just want monogamy with her. I want our sex lives to just between us and nobody else being with her like that. I feel like if my curiosity had turned into some big thing I was super excited about to do a bunch and she expressed anywhere near as much turmoil about it as I have then I would've stopped right then and there, or at the extreme least slow walk it until we maybe get on a better page about things.
 
Last weekend she really hurt my feelings. For background, the whole time we've been together she has hardly ever let me go down on her. I always found this strange since women are suppose to love that, but I've got so little experience with it that I don't even know how much I do or don't like doing it. There was one time she let me do it long enough to get her off (though now says she doesn't remember that), and nearly all the other times she stopped me after less than a minute. For the most part I just hardly ever try that anymore since getting shot down so much kinda trains you to not even make attempts very much anymore. I'm also 95% sure a few weeks back while we were discussing things I said I'd be pretty unhappy/hurt if she let a woman go down on her since she pretty much won't let me do that (which she says she doesn't remember me saying). Anyway, she mentioned one of the women wants to meet up again next weekend and that the woman is really eager to go down on her (and my wife implying she was fine with this). I think I was dumbfounded at first, then after I had time to process it I was pretty hurt that she was willing to let a stranger do that when she'd barely ever let me. She was baffled that I was so "hung up" about that. We argued and she eventually said she was fine with me doing that now, wants to do that with me and just hadn't thought about it, and that it'd been about her personal hang ups on it and not about me. I asked if she could just tell the woman not to do that part or say she's not ready for that part yet, but then she was upset that I was "trying to dictate" what she can and can't do when she hooks up. I just really wanted to be the first to explore that properly with her for at least a little while instead of it being with a stranger that's probably far more experienced with it than me (not by my choice). I did get to go down on her for a full session last night, but there's definitely a learning curve when being almost brand new to doing it. I just really wish we could have a month or so to 'get up to speed' on that between ourselves before she's having a stranger do it to her.
 
She says she wants to try to find a compromise where we can both be happy, but it seems like that only means her trying to bribe me but that anything that might limit or slow her down seems to be off the table. I just feel like I'm stuck between the choice of suffering through it, or forcefully shutting it down and her probably being bitter about that, which who knows what other issues that'll cause. I just feel like if the tables were turned and she was this distraught then we'd mutually close the marriage because even if I was disappointed about not getting some fun side activities anymore that I wouldn't want to make her feel terrible or guilty for not wanting it to happen anymore. She does at least say if it came down to it that she'd choose me and the marriage over this, but doesn't know how she'd feel about not being able to anymore. The irony is I'd probably be a lot more likely to be somewhere in the realm of comfortable with her stuff if she felt and expressed anywhere near my level of concern instead of soft bullying me into stopping short of closing the marriage. Since it went downhill my mood about it can vary day to day from anywhere between "not really keen on this" to hating it, upset, and sometimes tearing up. I guess my overall feelings after experiencing this whole situation is monogomy is much simpler and dealing with other sex partners while married is nicer as a fantasy than the actual reality.

I have a 2021 Mazda CX30 For the last few months I’ve noticed the carpet behind the driver side seat being wet. I’ve dried it, and when it rains/I go through a car wash - it’s wet again. It’s really not something you can see visually, but definitely noticeable if you just touch the carpet. I’ve had to remove the back floor mat just so water didn’t get stuck under it. Also threw towels down to soak up some water when it rains and have been swapping them out. So this is clearly a consistent problem, not just a one-off thing. There’s no signs of leaking from the roof or window. I brought it in to the dealer and they claim they water tested it for 1.5 hours and ran it through their car wash and there is no water. The car is “dry”. My lease is up in August and I don’t want to get stuck paying for this leak when I turn the car in, or being stuck with a leak if I keep the car. Is there anything I can tell the dealer to make them actually find this leak that they are claiming doesn’t exist??

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional anabolic steroids in the realm of fitness and bodybuilding. Central to their effective utilization is a grasp of their pharmacokinetics, particularly their half-life, which plays a pivotal role in dosing strategies and overall efficacy.
Half-life denotes the duration required for half of a substance's dosage to be metabolized and eliminated from the body. SARMS exhibit diverse half-lives determined by factors such as chemical composition, metabolic pathways, and mode of administration, influencing dosing frequency and timing.
Take, for instance, Ostarine (MK-2866), among the extensively studied SARMS, boasting a half-life of approximately 24 hours. This characteristic allows for once-daily dosing, ensuring sustained blood levels conducive to desired outcomes. Conversely, compounds like RAD-140 (Testolone) possess shorter half-lives, approximately 16 hours, necessitating more frequent intake to maintain consistent blood concentrations.
Appreciating SARMS half-life dynamics is not only vital for optimizing dosing regimens but also for managing potential side effects and planning post-cycle therapy (PCT). For users aiming to mitigate the suppression of endogenous testosterone production post-SARM cycle, synchronizing PCT with the clearance of SARMS from the body is imperative for restoring hormonal balance effectively.

Moreover, individual variabilities, encompassing metabolic rates, genetic predispositions, and overall health status, can influence SARMS metabolism and elimination kinetics. Hence, maintaining vigilance over one's body responses and making dosage adjustments under the guidance of healthcare professionals is paramount.
In conclusion, comprehending SARMS half-life intricacies is indispensable for harnessing their full potential while ensuring safety and efficacy. By tailoring dosing protocols to align with the unique pharmacokinetic profiles of SARMS, users can optimize outcomes and minimize risks. Collaborating with healthcare providers and staying abreast of evolving research are pivotal in fostering responsible SARMS utilization within the fitness and bodybuilding communities.

To make this post understandable to all of us, I will write everything faithfully in both Chinese and English versions. Not only can this provide a warm harbor for Chinese people, but it can also let people from all over the world know that an extremely strong Chinese army is standing with them!!

首先，我们这次战斗的最终目的是让看空这只股票的对冲基金付出惨痛的代价！！大家一致的目标应该是收割华尔街空头口袋里的钱，而不是做T低买高卖收割战友的钱。而达成这一目标我们要做的是低价买入并坚定持有，等待股价飞涨，最终形成轧空。当价格足够高的时候，做空机构就会权衡利弊，放弃抵抗被迫平仓以数十亿甚至数百亿的代价回购将来可能涨到50块甚至上百块一股的股票。到时候因为做空机构的大量回购，就会进一步推动股价继续飞速上升，到达更高，那一刻才是我们的最终胜利！ First of all, our ultimate goal in this battle is to make the hedge funds that are shorting this stock pay a painful price!! Our objective should be to harvest the money from the pockets of Wall Street shorts, rather than engaging in short-term trading to harvest money from our brothers and sisters. To achieve this goal, all we need to do is to BUY the DIP and HODL, waiting for the stock price to rise and finally cause a short squeeze. When the price is high enough, hedge funds institutions will weigh the pros and cons, give up resistance, and be forced to cover their positions at a cost of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions to buy back the stock, which may rise to $50 or even hundreds of dollars per share in the future. At that moment, due to the massive buybacks by short-selling institutions, the stock price will be further propelled upwards rapidly, reaching even higher levels, which will be our ultimate victory!
而此战我们的初步战略目标是从5月16日开始算起连续10个交易日FFIE收盘（美东时间下午4：00）价格保持在1以上不退市，就可以撤销纳斯达克的退市要求。首先你需要知道，在纳斯达克上市的股票如果连续30个交易日收盘价格低于1美元，就可能面临退市风险。纳斯达克会向公司发出通知，要求其在收到通知后的180个日历日内将股价提高到至少1美元，并保持至少10个连续交易日。目前FFIE公司已经收到了通知，并且开始10个交易日倒计时，我们必须要首先保证FFIE不会退市。为了做到这一点，已经有数十万来自全球各地的散户战友集结于此守在1块钱，随时准备买进，抵挡住空头大军的攻击，此刻，我们固若金汤！ In this battle, our initial strategic objective is to ensure that the FFIE closing price remains above $1 for ten consecutive trading days, starting from May 16th, to avoid delisting by Nasdaq. You need to understand that for stocks listed on Nasdaq, if the closing price remains below $1 for thirty consecutive trading days, they may face delisting risk. Nasdaq notifies the company, requiring it to increase the stock price to at least $1 within 180 calendar days of receiving the notification, and maintain it for at least ten consecutive trading days. Currently, FFIE has received the notification and the countdown of ten trading days has begun. We must ensure first and foremost that FFIE does not get delisted. To achieve this, hundreds of thousands of retail comrades from around the world have gathered here, ready to buy at $1 and resist the attacks of the short sellers. At this moment, we stand as solid as a rock!
目前截至5月21日，我们的战斗已经连续胜利了3天，还需再努力坚持7天，我们就可以达成初步胜利！而这个过程亦是让世界的焦点凝聚于我们的过程，只要让全世界看到我们的团结和壮大，就可以吸引更多志同道合的人，壮大队伍，甚至吸引名人和做多机构的加入，朝着更高的价格一路高歌猛进！🌟🚀
As of May 21st, our battle has been continuously victorious for 3 days. With another 7 days of determined effort, we can achieve preliminary victory! This process also draws the world’s attention to us. By showcasing our unity and strength, we can attract like-minded individuals, enlarge our community, and even entice celebrities and organizations to join us, marching forward, full sail ahead! 🌟🚀
而我们作为散户团体所要坚持的只有一句话，**逢低买入并坚定持有！逢低买入并坚定持有！逢低买入并坚定持有！**重要的事情说三遍。
As retail investors, we only need to remember one phrase: “BUY the DIP and HODL!” BUY the DIP and HODL! BUY the DIP and HODL! Important things are worth repeating three times.
这么喊的原因：
Reasons for this:

1. 为什么要逢低？因为当买入价格够低，股票在购买价格之上波动的时候心态才会更稳定，不会因为机构砸盘而过分恐慌。
   
2. Why Buy the DIP? Because when the buying price is low enough and the stock fluctuates above the buying price, the mentality will be more stable and people will not panic sell because of the institution's attack.
   
3. 为什么要坚定持有？因为越来越多的人坚定持有，市场上流通的可交易股票数量就会越来越少，空头机构可操作的空间就会越来越小，无法操纵价格，从而无力回天。每次担心成本过高或者做T的买卖操作，都会成为空头机构的棋子和韭菜。所以请坚定持有！
   
4. Why should we HOLD? When more and more people are holding, the number of tradable shares available in the market will decrease, reducing the space for short-selling institutions to operate. This makes it impossible for them to manipulate the price, rendering them powerless. Every time you worry about high costs or engage in quick buy and sell operations (like day trading), you become the chess of institutions and your money get reaped by them. So, please HOLD!
   

而如果你已经买了，你不需要担心自己是不是买的价格稍微高了，因为如果我们胜利，价格将会是几十或者几百，几十倍翻倍，不差这点买入价格。
Additionally, if you have already bought in, you don’t need to worry if your purchase price was a bit high because if we succeed, the price will be in the tens or hundreds, multiplying many times over, so a slightly higher buying price won't matter.
在这十天中，空头机构可能会想尽一切肮脏的手段制造各种舆论压力，社区关闭，并让股价下跌和造成恐慌，请心情忐忑的散户朋友们不要慌张，我们有数十万的散户坚守在这里，所有人都与你同在！在上周五，下作的做空机构突然关闭了Reddit上Roaringkitty板块，让大家变成了无头苍蝇，但在周五最后，我们还是坚持住了最后一道防线，险胜空头。而这个周末，我们的各种社区频道在Discord, Reddit, Tiktok, Youtube, Instagram以及X（Twitter)如雨后春笋般到处野蛮生长，空头机构已经再也无法造成任何恐慌，打不倒我们的只会让我们更强大！！而我们中国人更是有一句人尽皆知的俗语，一鼓作气再而衰三而竭。周五第一波我们扛住了，相信后面空头的气势只会越来越弱。
In these ten days, short-selling institutions may try every dirty trick to create various public opinion pressures, close communities, and cause stock prices to fall and create panic. Retail investors who are feeling uneasy, please don't panic. We have hundreds of thousands of retail investors holding the line here; we are together! On last Friday, the unscrupulous short-selling institutions suddenly shut down the Roaringkitty section on Reddit, leaving everyone like headless chickens. But by the end of Friday, we still held the last line of defense and narrowly defeated the shorts. Over the weekend, our various community channels on Discord, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X (Twitter) sprang up like mushrooms after rain. The short-selling institutions can no longer cause any panic; What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger! And we Chinese have a well-known saying, 'Charge with the first drum, wane with the second, and be exhausted by the third.' We withstood the first wave on Friday, and we believe the momentum of the shorts will only get weaker from here on.
最后，我们要让以后的人也知道，我们为了这场和华尔街空头的战斗都做了什么！从周五最后一秒股价的力挽狂澜，到各个社区的崛起，以及各种多语言网站的搭建。我们还有百万粉丝油管UP和百万粉丝Tiktok大佬的加入。而这一切只用了短短两天，在这里大家互相鼓励，互相学习股票知识以及同步信息，无论老少男女，每个人都在尽自己所能为胜利而战！而我们中国人在这次战役中也发挥着举足轻重的作用！我们必须要尽一切可能让所有人听到数十万中国人的声音！让说英语的人知道，他们不是孤单的。
最后，让我们一起坚定持有！！！HODL!!!!!!
Finally, we must let future people know what we did in this battle against Wall Street shorts! From the last-second rally in stock prices on Friday to the rise of various communities and the establishment of multi-language websites. We also had the support of YouTubers with millions of followers and TikTok stars with millions of fans. And all this was achieved in just two short days. Here, everyone encourages each other, learns about stocks together, and shares information voluntarily. Regardless of age or gender, everyone is doing their best to fight for victory! We Chinese also play a crucial role in this battle! We must do everything possible to make the voices of hundreds of thousands of Chinese heard! Let English speakers know they are not alone.
Finally, let's HODL together!!!!!!!!

I was friend with a guy who would be abusive and then try to hoover me back with things along the line of "I'm sorry, I failed, I wasn't strong enough to give you what you wanted, I don't seem to be good for you, I am the problem" - you get the idea. At first, I believed him and tried to meet him halfway then realized it was a pattern.
The thing is I cannot relate to that kind of narrative in the sense that, if something overwhelms me, I would rather have a clear line of communication with the person rather than become abusive and then apologize in a "I'm sorry I have been an asshole to you, it's bc I am not strong enough" way.
I am not asking you to armchair diagnose him with anything but I want to know if it is a narrative that can be found within NPD?
If so, can you explain the logic behind it? What is he trying to "achieve" by talking about himself in a way that makes him appear weak and hope you'll forgive him for that.
As a side not, I'd like to add that when he says that, it feels like hard to believe bc he does not actually think of himself as a failure. Or if he does then I have to highlight the fact that most of the time, he acts like he doesn't: he keeps insulting everyone and say that he would do things better. He is obsessed with his vision of justice, he has road rage (everyday he would go to work he would complain and drain my energy). For ex, he called the cops once to complain about a specific car for a minor issue (I mean they still broke the law to his defense but he couldn't let it go). One of his "dream" job was to be detective or in the police, in the army and recently, in politics. Keep in mind he is naive about a lot of things when it comes to politics and abusive, he would not last a day in those jobs as he is the kind of person who seem to trigger men with the same ego issues (or who have a fetish for bullying weaker men) in those places (his therapist agrees with me on this) - he already got "bullied" before during an internship, he is an easy target, super shy and afraid of confrontation (but like I said, don't be fooled, he is just as abusive, expect he only feels confident enough to do so with people who love him, for ex he told me once he finds it easier to have anger burst with me and his mom bc he knows he does not risk anything since he can be comfortable with us)

I have the 16GB A770 GPU. The Arc Control software seems generally broken (even after a full reinstall) having trouble looking for updates and constantly disclaiming that my resizeable bar is disabled despite it being enabled in BIOS.
Worse yet, my computer seems to suffer from a couple strange bugs:
1) Sometimes when I have a game on one screen and a discord call on another the discord share or an entire screen will just start blinking with green static garbage. This is oftentimes accompanied by the screens reloading like when you connect a new display making a short animation that doesn't let me use the machine for a second or two.
2) Sometimes the computer just goes dark, the screens declare no input, but it isn't off because audio keeps going.
3) Alternatively it just crashes on some games every now and then for no to me apparent reason.
The first issue is especially exacerbated by having a third monitor to the point where I will often times just need to disconnect one of my monitors while gaming. I didn't have these issues when I bought the GPU when they were still new and fresh, but I have bought it unfortunately unaware that the Arc cards miss some magic sauce to run VR and about a year ago I borrowed a 2070 from my friend to run my Index. He was using my card during that time and reported no outstanding issues. I've removed all the Nvidia stuff from my PC, and I've done my best to install the newest driver though that resulted in a total driver devastation and for a bit Windows defaulted to some low res basic driver until I managed to get an Arc driver through SDIO, I am on version 31.0.101.5379 and hasn't dared to update since (SDIO doesn't show any newer drivers and I don't really trust Intel's own stuff currently).
Do you have any similar experiences or tips to help me?

I got a new offer for a new sales job after being unemployed for a year. My new offer came in at $70k base salary and some measly commission plan (my last job I made $150k+.... pretty big hit).
I am inclined to accept without negotiating because I've read so much about problems with negotiation and offers getting pulled. Also considering I have no other offers.
Ideally I would ask for $80k and we settle at $75k base but I don't want to risk it. Feels like it makes more sense to accept and negotiate after showing some work. Besides if I land a better job I would leave this one immediately.
Any input appreciated. Thank you!

So after Admin feels incredibly awful over failing to save Himiko, he's sent off to deal with yet another one of the Sasanami 5, this time the Karasugo. But he's down one Mod: Buzenbo's sent off to take care of Sasanami head and the Child of Heaven, because nobody else is available. Mods are being scrambled all over, Shu is being sent to Jokurr, Tsukuyomi is missing, and it's all up to our fledgling group to deal with everything. Buzenbo, now with her S Rank Alt her original Access Key, revealing that this entire time she was in Firebrand Tyr's situation and was fighting with a gimped loadout, sets out on her own.
So who are we with? Well, we have Kuni and Sekhmet, and a Mimir who is immune to all communication jamming. Great! This promises fun. Sekhmet herself is getting even better, as the chapter reveals just how closely-knit her department is: Unlike Paracaesar lording the shit out of everyone and throwing her authority around, Sekhmet, Kamau and everyone in Quake Control are soldiers loyal to each other, professional as they can be, yet with bonds only shared by comrades who fought by each other's sides. Despite all attempts to be professional, Sekhmet does show what's underneath.
And boy is it worth it. The Quake Control Squad are a blast to be with, with responsible leader H, incredibly passionate K and "I'm working 9-5 and not a second more" F. Between these stooges and Kuni and Sekhmet's usual sniping, they're pure fun to follow.
But wait, what about Admin? Well, the twist here is that the moment they get into the compound, the team is split up into Kuni and the QCS, Lord Mimir and his anti comms jamming signal (... Great...) and then Admin... And the other star of the show.
Senba. Aka, Izanami.
All on his lonesome, Admin meets up with this strange, eccentric girl who doesn't want to get close to him. She'll protect him, she'll defend him, but she doesn't want to open up to him... But he keeps pushing.
He lends her his canned coffee. He gives her his cooking, and makes her remember her mother. He answers her questions, more than she answers his. He compares her to a cat that's keeping its distance even as it tries to get closer, and by god does the definition work.
And through it all, he's able to break through to her. At first, she simply calls him the "Questioner" out of amusement. But after revealing the secret behind her plan, sacrificing herself just to save everyone?
When Admin just got fucked over by Gengchen and Himiko doing the same thing?
She realizes just how much she values him... And respects him as an Admin. Not just that. In Japanese? Admin-SAMA. Higher than her, better than her. If she had any other choice, she'd follow him no matter what.
But she can't, because she's off to get killed by Kuni and the rest of the team, thinking that with her death, the Crow God will finally die...
PSYCHE. Admin manages to break the world once more. Kagutsuchi hands him a katana and tells him to save Izanami from her fate. He's broken reality to save an artificial mod. Why not a real one?
This chapter was fantastic. The banter, the rules of the realm, the twists and the sacrifices at the end... God, I cannot wait for part 2 to come.
Also important, Admin has shared an indirect kiss with Senba, and has given her his cooking, learned her deepest secrets, is acknowledged as her lord and will break the world for her. Admin has revealed himself to be prime house husband material, between paperwork management and cooking for all the mods because they apparently suck at cooking (wait, why the hell are we putting them in the restaurant then?).
In other words, Gomen Verthandi, you have more competition now. Get off your ass already and get your S-Rank Alt get your man before someone else does!

I've never done botox or dysport 😬. My treatment goals are related to TMJ/teeth grinding, but cosmetically wanting to smooth out my "11's", minor forehead wrinkling and the start of fine lines around my eyes. I don't have any deep wrinkles. (I do have modest bags under my eyes and I know it's going to keep getting worse due to family genetics. I'm a little worried dysport could make this worse?)
I had a consult today with a provider I trust (my primary dentist who has a cosmetic dentistry practice and does a number of aesthetic services), but it's the only one I've had and want to get input on the plan and total cost, recognizing it varies by area.
She referenced my treatment being in a "preventative stage" to treat the early wrinkles but also it would help prevent them getting worse. (Is this true?) The idea of a dentist performing botox/dysport seemed odd to me at first, but the rationale that they spend years studying the bone and muscle structure of the face made sense to me. Thoughts?
She said the starting dose would be:

• 20 units in the 11's
  
• 7-10 units in the forehead
  
• 6 units per eye
  
• 10 units per side for masseter
  

Total cost - $640

This title is a bit long, but it is meant to pre-empt some of the nitpicky caveats I know people would come up with otherwise. I know that most people on Reddit (or at least on this sub) are vaguely moral subjectivists or error theorists (even though I don't think most have a worked out view, but more a vibe that morality at least isn't objective). This is the reason why I have phrased my title as a conditional in the way I have: IF you think x is wrong THEN you should think y is wrong. This avoids the inevitable "well, there is nothing really good or bad, it is all just people's preferences".
Secondly, I say buying factory farmed meat in the way most people do, because it avoids strange hyper-specific edge-cases like "what if I bought a package of meat right before closing, and asked the store manager whether they would order more meat if I bought this package", or something like that. When I say "in the way most people do", I mean going into a store, taking a package of factory farmed meat and buying it, no questions asked, or weird caveats added.
Now to the actual argument. First off, the conditions of factory farmed animals are very bad - far worse than being lives worth living. Consider chickens. Broiler chickens live in very crowded spaces (approx. 1 sqft. per chicken) and grow so fast that their limbs cannot keep up and they end up being in constant pain. They get chemical burns on their joints because they are living in their own shit which is high in ammonia. And they have their beaks removed so they don't peck each other because they're so stressed. Now ask yourself, if you had the choice at your deathbed to die and disappear, or to live a life as a factory farmed chicken and then die, which would you choose? I doubt many of you would choose living the life of the chicken. If so, then it isn't worth living in your judgement.
Furthermore, when you buy a package of meat you are causing animals to go through this suffering. You might object something like this: "When I buy a package of meat, it is highly unlikely that I will cause the shop to order more meat, causing factory farms to produce more meat. Thus, most of the time I am not causing more animals to suffer."
This argument doesn't work. Let's look at a simplified example: A shop orders chickens in stocks of 100. When they reach a certain limit in demand, they increase or decrease the amount of stocks they order, depending on whether demand has risen or fallen. You don't know how close they are to ordering a new stock, since you are buying meat like a regular person, and not asking how close they are. But you know that there is a 1/100 chance that your purchase will cause them to order a new stock. Furthermore, ordering a new stock involves ordering 100 more chickens. So on standard decision theory, the expected outcome of your buying a chicken is that one more chicken is ordered (100*1/100).
This is of course an idealized example, but it is how the meat industry works on average: A decrease in demand of x amount of meat packages will reduce the amount of meat packages produced by x on average, even if the industry isn't perfectly sensitive to demand.
So when you buy meat, the expected outcome of your action is that animals are harmed. The amount will be the total money value of the animal in question divided by the money value of the product you bought all multiplied by the amount of suffering of the animal. Likewise, when you kick a stray cat, you are causing it suffering.
Why are you causing these animals suffering?
In the case of the cat, it is for trivial pleasure. Likewise, in the case of meat, it is for pleasure. I think almost everyone who reads this would be able to stop eating meat at trivial cost to themselves. It might take a bit of getting used to, and you might have to order the slightly less tasty option, when going to a restaurant, but generally it would be of quite trivial cost.
The person going around kicking stray cats for fun could stop doing so at little cost to themselves too. They might have a little less fun in their life, but that is certainly outweighed by not kicking cats. We can even imagine that it is a big part of their life. They feel like it is a hobby, and they would have to spend a lot of effort to find a new thing to spend their time doing, and it would never be as fulfilling. Imagine you meet someone who is in the middle of beating a cat until it can barely walk, and you tell them to stop doing it. They then reply the above, that it would make them very sad, and be really inconvenient to them. Would you then answer "oh, of course then, carry on!"? Of course not.
It is not like it being for taste pleasure or nutritional convenience makes any difference either. Suppose it is discovered that the saliva of distressed cats is very tasty, and also high in c vitamin. You now come across the same person again, brutally beating a cat, and you stop them. They now say "oh, haven't you heard, distressed-cat saliva is very tasty and nutritional. And I can't be bothered to incorporate oranges into my diet, so I thought I might as well have some fun and beat this cat for its saliva". Would you now be okay with it?
But in the case where someone is beating a cat, they are hurting something which already exists. But the animals on factory farms wouldn't exist, if they weren't raised for meat. Okay, so imagine if instead of going out and beating cats on the street, the guy in question instead bred cats and kept them in small cages so he could beat them for fun, and perhaps even drink some of their tasty saliva. Is it okay now?
Perhaps the important thing is that you are not doing the killing yourself, but you are instead paying someone else to do it. So imagine instead that the person in question pays someone else to breed and beat cats, and to send videos of it to them so they can enjoy it, and perhaps even send some vials of distressed-cat saliva. Is it okay to pay a person to do that? No.
I doubt anyone actually thinks this, but someone might say "I don't care about factory farmed animal, but I do care about cats". This is why the example is kicking cats for fun. If you do it for fun, that means that you don't care about the cat - that is just stipulated into the example (or well not strictly, but it would be very strange to go around kicking cats for fun if you actually cared about them). You might think that that would mean that it is ok, since you by stipulation don't care, but then you reject the antecedent of my conditional, and so the argument isn't refuted. You might also think that someone cares about cats, and that makes it bad. But that is why I use stray cats - they don't have relationships with anyone. Perhaps someone cares about stray cats in general, without knowing about any particular stray cat. But people (including me) also care about animals in factory farms in general, without knowing about any particular animal.
Another objection one might raise is that crop production also kills animals - approx. 7.3 billion annually (which is less than a tenth of the amount killed in meat production, by the way). So vegans are equally killing animals for food! I will give you ten seconds to think about why this is a bad argument. (Hint: What do the animals killed for food eat?)
I think the actual reason why people are okay with buying factory farmed meat, but not kicking cats for fun is twofold: First off, we are much more used to buying meat than to beating cats. Secondly, it feels much less bad to buy meat than to beat a cat. But clearly neither of these are morally relevant differences. Something wrong doesn't become permissible when you are used to it. Likewise, it doesn't become permissible because it feels less bad.
I am sure there are many possible responses that I haven't adressed directly, but I want to encourage everyone to be a bit honest with themselves before they respond: Do I actually think that this is a plausible position, or am I only drawn to this because the alternative would be inconvenient for me? Would I also believe this principle if I applied it to other cases, or do I only find it plausible in the single example of factory farming?SentEnterWrite to

I just made a joke about making a calendar in one of the last posts. I had a lot of people say that they would buy one so I'm going to go ahead and make some. I'm going to keep costs as low as possible. And not charge folks extra because this is just a fun thing to do and I don't want to make a profit from it. So stay tuned. I'll give some updates. I think I'm going to make about 50 of them. Also, if anyone doesn't want their picture used, let me know. If you have pictures you'd like included, send them my way! 🙂

I can’t stand fan art. 99.9% of it is very low/no talent copy and paste and makes me feel sad for the person who did it. It ruins so many gaming and media subs where I believe most people are there wanting to see content and chat directly relating to the thing they like, not some overly obsessive man-child’s ‘Here is my dwawing what I drew’.
I notice the comments, and I assume the upvotes, typically come from people who tend to just encourage and be nice constantly and unconditionally, dishing out disingenuous and generic positivity, the way a busy parent would congratulate their three year old on their 14th playdough snake of the day.
The content and ideas are usually so basic and clique and often tragic level weeb too. I feel like there comes a point in growing up where sharing unremarkable creativity and imagination is just really creepy and sad. Begging internet points with it is even worse.
I’d love to see it pushed from all main subs and encouraged to be posted in a Main_fanart type of situation.
I do accept that the very occasional one or two are good. Show massive talent and vision, but I’d happily swap never seeing those for not having to see the constant cringe doodles everywhere all the time.
