2024.05.21 14:01 punkassbitxh [real] (05/21/2024) body image

maybe it stems from my dad always poking fun at my weight as a kid. maybe it was the early 2000’s obsession with ‘heroin chic’ rail thin celebrities and models. the constant blazing headlines of “SHE IS SO THIN.” I remember Nicole Ritchie being absolutely BLASTED for how small she was but if you’d looked at articles prior, she was Paris’ “fat friend”. Tyra Banks being labeled as “huge” for being about 150(ish) lbs. in her prime. the CONSTANT ragging on the ‘older’ celebrities (like 30s) for their cellulite or dimpled thighs. for all the issues I had, an ED was never one of them. I never had enough “self control” or the weight obsession to hold off on food for longer than 3 days. my gag reflect never was strong enough to vomit anything up - but I was just always unhappy with my weight. I’ve finally reached a point in life where it’s not really about my weight anymore. I truthfully think I’m only carrying an extra 10ish lbs and I’d be okay with that if it didn’t LOOK the way it did.
back in 2020 when I quit drinking, I went about 60 days and lost almost 35lbs. from NOTHING besides cutting out booze and all those late night snacks. then in November, I got Covid and proceeded to lose my taste and smell so then it got to the point where I just forgot to eat. in the mix of that, it was a heavy time around me - mental health wise - which contributed to stress weight loss. overall, I lost almost another 20 lbs and I was exceedingly happy with how I looked. looking back, I was a bit thinner than I’d like to be now, but I had SO much more confidence. during that time, I went out and bought some clothes, which I still have. I tried them on yesterday and boy - that was a rude awakening.
body image has always been an issue for me. but now I just can’t decide what’s the matter. am I “fat?” or am I just out of shape? do I need to lose weight or do I need to tighten it up? I had two kids… no one (including myself) expects me to be a size 0… I wouldn’t wanna be, I like having some curve. but the fact that I’m up almost 2 sizes from just 2-3 years ago fucking sucks. idk why I’m complaining, I have a week off work starting tomorrow… I’m going on vacation - but the idea of being in the heat with minimal clothing makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I don’t wanna look fake - that’s the new trend. veneers and nose jobs and fake boobs and disgusting, fake plastic asses… everyone looks like a copy of a copy of a copy of another person. everyone looks the same, there’s no variation - no “real” features left… I don’t want that. but jesus fuck, it’d be nice to FINALLY feel more comfortable in my own skin.
the way I feel now is leaps and bounds above how I used to feel or how I used to see myself so I suppose that, in itself, is a small win. but comfort in my own body and comfort in my own life is the goal - and I’m not there yet… and that sucks.

PHOENIX (AP) — Former Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward and at least 11 other people are set to be arraigned in a Phoenix courtroom on conspiracy, forgery and fraud charges stemming from their roles in an effort to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Arizona to Joe Biden.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani also is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, though it’s unclear whether he’ll seek a postponement. Arizona authorities tried unsuccessfully over several weeks to serve Giuliani notice of the indictment against him. Giuliani was finally served Friday night as he was walking to a car after his 80th birthday celebration.
Arizona authorities unveiled the felony charges last month against Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring Trump, a Republican, had won Arizona. The defendants include five lawyers connected to the former president and two former Trump aides. Biden, a Democrat, won Arizona by more than 10,000 votes.
The indictment alleges Ward, a former state senator who led the GOP in Arizona from 2019 until early 2023, organized the fake electors and urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to declare them to be the state's true electors. It says Ward failed to withdraw her vote as a fake elector even though no legal challenges changed the outcome of the presidential race in Arizona.
Last week, attorney John Eastman, who devised a strategy to try to persuade Congress not to certify the election, was the first defendant in the case to be arraigned, pleading not guilty to the charges.
Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Arizona is the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election.
The 11 people who claimed to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and asserting that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.
Of eight lawsuits that unsuccessfully challenged Biden’s victory in the state, one was filed by the 11 fake Arizona electors, who had asked a federal judge to decertify the results and block the state from sending its results to the Electoral College. In dismissing the case, the judge concluded the Republicans had “failed to provide the court with factual support for their extraordinary claims.” Days after that lawsuit was dismissed, the 11 participated in the certificate signing.
Those set to be arraigned Tuesday are Ward; Tyler Bowyer, an executive of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA; state Sen. Anthony Kern; Greg Safsten, a former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party; Robert Montgomery, a former chairman of the Cochise County Republican Committee; Samuel Moorhead, a Republican precinct committee member in Gila County; Nancy Cottle, who in 2020 was the first vice president of the Arizona Federation of Republican Women; Loraine Pellegrino, past president of the Ahwatukee Republican Women; Michael Ward, an osteopathic physician who is married to Ward; attorneys Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb; and Michael Roman, who was Trump’s 2020 director of Election Day operations.
Arraignments are scheduled for June 6 for state Sen. Jake Hoffman; on June 7 for former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows; and on June 18 for Trump attorney Boris Epshteyn and for James Lamon, another Republican who claimed Trump carried the state.

The indictment alleges Ward, a former state senator who led the GOP in Arizona from 2019 until early 2023, organized the fake electors and urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to declare them to be the state's true electors. It says Ward failed to withdraw her vote as a fake elector even though no legal challenges changed the outcome of the presidential race in Arizona.
Last week, attorney John Eastman, who devised a strategy to try to persuade Congress not to certify the election, was the first defendant in the case to be arraigned, pleading not guilty to the charges.
Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Arizona is the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election.
The 11 people who claimed to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and asserting that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.
Of eight lawsuits that unsuccessfully challenged Biden’s victory in the state, one was filed by the 11 fake Arizona electors, who had asked a federal judge to decertify the results and block the state from sending its results to the Electoral College. In dismissing the case, the judge concluded the Republicans had “failed to provide the court with factual support for their extraordinary claims.” Days after that lawsuit was dismissed, the 11 participated in the certificate signing.
Those set to be arraigned Tuesday are Ward; Tyler Bowyer, an executive of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA; state Sen. Anthony Kern; Greg Safsten, a former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party; Robert Montgomery, a former chairman of the Cochise County Republican Committee; Samuel Moorhead, a Republican precinct committee member in Gila County; Nancy Cottle, who in 2020 was the first vice president of the Arizona Federation of Republican Women; Loraine Pellegrino, past president of the Ahwatukee Republican Women; Michael Ward, an osteopathic physician who is married to Ward; attorneys Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb; and Michael Roman, who was Trump’s 2020 director of Election Day operations.
Arraignments are scheduled for June 6 for state Sen. Jake Hoffman; on June 7 for former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows; and on June 18 for Trump attorney Boris Epshteyn and for James Lamon, another Republican who claimed Trump carried the state.

PHOENIX (AP) — Former Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward and at least 11 other people are set to be arraigned in a Phoenix courtroom on conspiracy, forgery and fraud charges stemming from their roles in an effort to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Arizona to Joe Biden.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani also is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, though it’s unclear whether he’ll seek a postponement. Arizona authorities tried unsuccessfully over several weeks to serve Giuliani notice of the indictment against him. Giuliani was finally served Friday night as he was walking to a car after his 80th birthday celebration.

2024.05.21 11:50 Sambodhi- Journey to Success: Are You Truly Committed to Your Dreams or Just Bouncing Between Goals? Self-Reflection Tips for Achieving True Passion and Consistent Effort

Journey to Success: Are You Truly Committed to Your Dreams or Just Bouncing Between Goals? Self-Reflection Tips for Achieving True Passion and Consistent Effort
Success is often a journey, not an overnight destination! Are you truly giving your dreams your all, or do you find yourself bouncing from one thing to another? It's time for some self-reflection.
"I am constantly failing to find success in any of my dream projects," is this what you sound like? Are you sitting and hating on your life, your fate, and the unsupportive people around you? Because it's essential to recognize if you're half-heartedly pursuing your goals.
Success isn't about doing 100 things at 20%. It's about pouring your heart into a few things consistently. Results may not happen overnight, but with persistent effort, they will come. Take small steps, celebrate the victories, and learn from setbacks.
journey to success
Imagine a very hot summer day, and you're desperately thirsty. That undying desire to quench your thirst - that's the energy you need for your goals! How badly do you want it? Are you willing to put in the effort, regardless of the obstacles?
Also, ask yourself, are these dreams truly yours? Or did you adopt them from external expectations? If these aren't truly your desires, you will get bored by the small challenges and give up, again and again! True passion arises from within. If you're not genuinely thirsty for your dreams, it might be time to reevaluate and rediscover your genuine desires.
So, are you as passionate about your dreams as you are for a glass of water on a hot sunny day? Then you will find a way to get your dreams to completion. All you need to sit and think is - Is my passion fake or do I need to increase my efforts?
Let's discuss and support each other on our journey to success!

2024.05.21 09:52 Technicallysane02 LinkedIn to Automatically add Labels to AI generated uploads

LinkedIn has introduced a new label for AI-generated content. This move follows TikTok, making LinkedIn the second platform to adopt C2PA standards for identifying AI content.
What is C2PA?
It's an organization working to set up fair rules for using AI content. One of its jobs is adding a digital mark to AI-made content so it can't easily be altered in images and videos.
C2PA has partnered with TikTok, Google, OpenAI, Adobe, and now LinkedIn to tag AI content automatically.
Why is this crucial?
While most AI content is harmless, some are made to spread fake news or influence opinions. For example, fake images of attacks or inappropriate pictures of celebrities.
Adding an AI label helps viewers know what's real and what's not.
What changes on LinkedIn?
Every AI-made image will now have a "cr" tag in the top left corner. Clicking on it gives details about the content's credentials.
The challenge now is accurately spotting all AI-made images and helping people understand what the "cr" tag means for it to work well.
That's the latest update. Don't forget to upvote & share!

2024.05.21 08:52 Background_Low_3641 My friends started randomly treating me poorly. Am I being to sensitive or do I need to say something?

I (f19) went to celebrate my birthday with my two friends Annie and Lia (fake names, both f19). It was originally supposed to be three friends but one (Emily, f19) canceled on the day of.
For context: we’ve been celebrating our birthdays together since we all became friends. Normally we go to dinner, everyone pays for the birthday girl, and we give her gifts. The gifts I gave (other than paying for 30-40 dinners) have been handmade cards/letters with their favorite candy. The only person who I didn’t get a gift for was Annie because we met after her birthday. However, I bought her a half-birthday gift to make up for it. I gave that to her at my birthday celebration.
On my birthday: after Emily canceled, Annie and Lia were late and didn’t seem too excited to be there. Or at least not as excited as they’d been on everyone else’s birthday. Nobody got me a gift or card. Ironically, the only gift given was the one I bought for Annie. Because they were late, I bought the Uber so we wouldn’t miss our reservation at the karaoke spot we were going to. Neither of them offered to chip in for the reservation, so I ended up paying for them. The only thing I didn’t buy was the Uber back because Lia bought it while I was using the restroom. The second we got back to our dorm building they said bye and left me to go to their dorm (they're roommates), and I’ve barely talked to them since (it’s been like 2-3 weeks; at most, we’ve made small talk when we see each other on campus). The last part is especially hurtful because I’ve tried planning for us to spend time with each other before school ends, but they all said they were busy with finals (despite me seeing them with other friends).
Honestly, I’m really sad nobody got me a gift or paid for me. I’m not somebody who needs expensive gifts. I would’ve loved handmade cards or smth. And if we all hadn’t spent upwards of 30-40 dollars on everybody else’s birthdays, I wouldn’t have even batted an eye at me paying for karaoke and the Uber there. The part that makes me sad is that I’m the ONLY one being treated differently.
Honestly, the only reason I’m not taking all of this as a sign to find a new friend group is because I’m going to be roommates with Emily next year. Plus, I don’t have any friends in college other than these 3. It's important to note I'm probably not the most objective OP, but I tried giving all the necessary context. Part of me is worried I’m being dramatic because I have a fearful avoidant attachment style and past traumas with loved ones/friends. My birthday was the only one right before finals, so this could also explain their behavior.
Am I being dramatic? If not, what should I do after we all reconnect next semester? Will it be too late if I bring it up after 2 months? Despite a shitty birthday and the low-key ghosting, I do want these friendships to work out, because for the most part, my friendships with these 3 have been some of the best I’ve ever had. I just don't want this type of stuff to start repeating. It just sucks feeling like nobody cares and that our friendships are one-sided.

2024.05.21 06:47 Xtianus21 I'm Sorry But Saying Your Voice Sounds Like Mine Is Not A Case For Cause

I love scarlett johansen. She's by far one of my favorite actors. Nevertheless, I don't see her ;p having a case against open AI.
What I think this is about is more the notion that artists want to protect themselves against AI period. That's probably more justifiable. However, in my opinion she may do more harm than good.
How do you prosecute in her favor with something so unclear to the line.
Probably 100 people could come out and say their voice sound like a voice similar to ScarJo.
Are they less entitled because they're not famous?
It barely sounds like ScarJo at that. Yes it's similar but it's not a pure clone.
Also, as a side note how many times can Microsoft keep screwing up the best voice of all which is cortana.
Please openai just use cortana and the whole world would love you for it. If there's a superhuman ai that will lead from a sure AI death we need it to be Cortana /s
No seriously, I just want cortana.
But again, any AI voice is going to sound like someone. I don't feel fake makes your voice better than anyone else's.
Now, for music or movies use of another persons voice would be very wrong and I wouldn't agree with that. But if we have Humonoids one of the obvious features is going to be my favorite celebrates voice.
Like Madden, they're going to get a licensing deal and just do it.
If openai charged me extra money to use a more authentic ScarJo voice and I wanted it id pay for it regarding consumer use only. Not commercial or any other usage rights. Yea, I'd pay for that.
I feel like she's complaining about nothing and should've taken the deal.
Like black widow and marvel she's probably going to lose one too.

I don’t think people realize that Drake and Kendrick have been having a back and forth in their songs since before "First Person Shooter." Yes, we all know they’ve been sending subliminals to each other for over a decade and have been beefing for a while now, but since "DAMN.," no one has really paid attention to the subliminals in their music, and they’ve been directly responding to each other in songs for a while now.
Here’s some backstory on where I think this modern beef started. On March 5, 2021, Drake released the song "What’s Next." The song was originally supposed to have Baby Keem on it, but his verse was left off, and it was just Drake on the song. I’m just going to leave this information here because it might play into the later disses.
Family Ties
August 27, 2021
Where I think the disses really start is on "Family Ties" with Kendrick Lamar. This song is the first official collaboration between Keem and Kendrick. It comes five months after What’s Next. In Kendrick’s verse, he states that he’s:
"Smokin' on your top five tonight, tonight
Yeah, I'm smokin' on your, what's his name, tonight, tonight."
This could be aimed at anybody in the game, but I think it’s directly targeted towards Drake based on the “what’s his name,” since Drake and Rihanna have a song called “What’s My Name.” Kendrick is saying he’s smoking on Drake.
Throughout Kendrick’s verse, he starts calling himself the GOAT and explains why he’s been absent in the game before this. At the end of the track, Baby Keem says:
"Number two DM'ing my bitch
That's cool, I don't ask why."
"Number two" here refers to Drake, as number one would be Kendrick Lamar. Drake is known for DMing people’s girls and stuff like that; Baby Keem says Drake is DMing his girl and is confused.

It’s been about a year since "Family Ties," and Kendrick releases his next studio album in five years. The album is supposed to address his demons and is about his growth and maturity through therapy. I think there are some subliminal on here towards Drake.
Father Time
This entire track is Kendrick addressing the issue of parenthood, specifically fatherhood, and the toxic nature of present and absent fathers due to the toxic masculinity that is passed through generations. It’s interesting that this is the track where Kendrick directly mentions Drake's name since we know later on Kendrick would call Drake a bad/absent father and call his father absent as well.
"When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I'm not mature as I think, got some healin' to do."
Kanye and Drake got back together for the Larry Hoover concert, and here Kendrick is confused about why Kanye “made up” with Drake. He realized he’s not as mature as he thinks and has some healing to do because he wouldn’t get back with Drake like Kanye did.
Rich Spirit
I think "Rich Spirit" might be the real warning shot towards Drake. I also think this is a direct reply to "Toosie Slide." The entire "Rich Spirit" video is him alone in his house, away from fame and society. There are a lot of lines here that, in retrospect, seem to be Kendrick telling Drake what a real “Rich Spirit” is. For example:
"Takin' my baby to school, then I pray for her."
This is something Kendrick directly attacks Drake for in his diss tracks.
"And celebrity do not mean integrity, you fool."
Kendrick is saying that celebrity does not equal integrity. He also uses this same angle in his diss tracks later on.
"Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)."
This is pretty obvious. Kendrick is telling Drake to stop playing with him before he turns him into a song (diss track) like he did with "Not Like Us."
Here’s where I think it gets even more obvious:
"Ayy, clout chasing hell of a disease, brother
I'm fasting four days out the week, brother
I pray to God that you realize the entourage is dead
I pray to God that you not lackin' when you off the meds
I pray to God she knows them Cabo trips don't last forever
Bet she argues with her momma, go and get them kids."
Everything Kendrick says here is exactly what he says to Drake in his diss tracks. He mentions meds, his entourage is against him, calls him out for his trips to islands, and calls him a clout chaser. This is clearly referencing Drake.
These lines directly reference J Prince, like he does in "Euphoria":
"I pray to God you actually pray when somebody dies
Thoughts and prayers, way better off timelines
False claimin' not cute, I'm mortified
The new Earth in hot pursuit, two-hundred lives."
He says the exact same thing to J Prince in "Euphoria."
He also says:
“I would never live my life on the computer IG'll get you life for a chikabooya More power to ya, love 'em from a distance Why you always in the mirror more than the bitches?”
Drake is known for his antics online and Instagram captions/Internet culture. This one’s also pretty obvious.
Honestly, Nevermind
https://preview.redd.it/hhptm12nbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=87ccec540b1538faa76f59c155994690808250cc
Drake responds to Kendrick on his album "Honestly, Nevermind." What’s important to realize here is that this album dropped on Kendrick’s birthday. The entire album is club-inspired music and was something people did not expect, and he dropped it on Kendrick’s birthday on purpose. It was to showcase to Kendrick that he can make music that Kendrick couldn’t. The entire album is club-inspired music except for the last track “Sticky” with 21 Savage. On this track, Drake states:
"Couple hits, now you brave, boy
You n**** better behave (What)
All that pumpin' up your chest (What)
All that talk about the best (What)
You know how sticky it gets."
He’s telling Kendrick to behave and stop talking about how he’s the best like he did on "Family Ties." Now what’s very interesting is that Kendrick & Baby Keem directly respond to this track on "The Hillbillies." I don’t think people realize that "The Hillbillies" is a direct response to this. But before The Hillbillies was the "America Has a Problem" remix with Beyoncé. This entire verse is clearly a Drake diss.
America Has a Problem Remix
https://preview.redd.it/41ncfnysbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f1ba1948e5a70de84ac6b88fea298655a8ab95f
"Geeked up, choosy love, well, they chose violence
Universal, please don't play possum
I'm a businessman doin' as follows
Truthfully, I be lyin' in my rap song
'Cause I always fail to mention I'd slap homie
His career didn't come with no life insurance
Hope his day-one fans got some facts on him."
He calls out Universal (UMG), saying he’s just a businessman doing as he chooses. He states that he’s lying in songs because he fails to mention he’ll slap somebody. He states that this person's career didn’t come with life insurance and hopes his day-one fans have some facts on him. He’s clearly referring to Drake here.
"Them diamonds don't be fly, they all CGI
You better get it off your chest like breast reduction
If she stressed over you, she stressed for nothin'."
In these lines, he calls Drake's diamonds fake and states that Drake should get it off his chest like breast reduction. He’s mocking his surgery yet again. Then the “if she stressed over you, she stressed for nothing” is a subliminal towards Drake’s latest album before this track, "Her Loss," stating that it’s not her loss since if she’s stressed over Drake, she isn’t stressed for anything.
Next, he says:
"Even AI gotta practice clonin' Kendrick
The double entendre, the encore remnants
I bop like ten men, the opps need ten men."
During the time when this track came out, there was AI Drake music blowing up. Kendrick is saying that even AI needs to practice to clone him, using a double entendre to imply he’s unmatched. He is saying the opps “need ten men” aka the ghostwriters, he is calling Drake easily replaceable. Now onto The Hillbillies.
The Hillbillies
https://preview.redd.it/5ugsqc2wbp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=fac50b242aec856fea19f304ff08264c94d460c9
"The Hillbillies" was released on May 30, 2023. The entire track is completely different from the music that Kendrick normally makes. It’s a track where he’s flexing, and it’s over a club-inspired beat and flow. Baby Keem even called it a “Sticky” remix. So this track is basically Kendrick saying that he can do what Drake did on "Honestly, Nevermind," but better.
First, let’s look at the title of the track. It is called “The Hillbillies.”
On "Sticky," Drake says that he’s:
"King of the hill, you know it's a steep one."
Drake calls himself the king of the hill, Kendrick & Keem call themselves the Hillbillies, you get it.
Now let’s look at some lines in the track:
"Messi, get them girls off the stage, 'cause somebody's gonna get taken
Somebody's gonna invade on a one-on-one conversation
I'm ducked off from the world, I'm immersed in the PlayStation."
This is a direct response to "Sticky" when Drake says:
"Ayo Eric, bring them girls to the stage
'Cause somebody's getting paid."
Throughout this entire track, Kendrick and Keem are mocking Drake and his flow on "Sticky," showcasing they can do anything he can do and better. They’re rapping about the things he’ll rap about. Also what I find interesting about the music video is that they have Tyler in it and announce that they will be headlining Camp Flog Gnaw in the video, where Drake famously got booed off stage. Could be a reach but still.
In July a month after this track, Drake on stage during his tour said “he is not like those rappers who disappear for 4 or 5 years”. So another subliminal towards Kendrick.
Meltdown
https://preview.redd.it/spcuz8zybp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d636950b1706368297a514c110e1a4351f06ded
Drake responds to the disses on "Meltdown," which was released two months later on Travis Scott’s album. While this verse is mainly about Kanye/Pusha, I also think it can relate to Kendrick as well.
"I love to fuck on a regular bitch
Famous hoes lame, but they stay on my dick
Heard your new joint, it's embarrassing, shit."
On "Hillbillies," Kendrick/Keem rap about wanting a regular girl instead of a famous girl, and on "Meltdown," Drake says the same thing, also calling their new stuff embarrassing.
"Your bodyguard put in some work on a fluke
Now you wanna go and inherit that shit
Don't talk to
the boy 'bout comparisons, shit
Or come to the boy on some arrogant shit."
More bodyguards talk, and he’s telling people not to compare him to anybody. We all know who he really means.
“I melt down the chains that I bought from yo' boss
Give a fuck about all of that heritage shit.”
Kendrick directly responds to this, saying he inherited the beef from Pharrell since Drake was disrespecting him. Now here’s where I think it gets obvious. On the second verse, Travis says:
"The boy going Lionel Messi, I go Tom Brady (Woo)."
In the track "The Hillbillies," Keem is calling Kendrick Messi and himself Neymar. Now in this track, which comes out two months later, Drake is comparing himself to Messi.
Also he says in this song "You act like you love this American shit, but really the truth is you scared of the 6" which could be a response to the title "America Has a Problem", this might be a reach though.
First Person Shooter
https://preview.redd.it/emn9lgd2cp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc52eeee5b1834f392c657c306dff32dab17746a
After "Meltdown," we get "First Person Shooter," which we all know ignited this beef even further. I have a theory about this track, though. I believe that Drake originally sent Kendrick the track to hop on, but Kendrick denied the feature request. I think the original "First Person Shooter" was going to feature Drake, Cole, and Kendrick rapping over the first beat of the song. I believe the beat switch was made after Kendrick denied the feature request, and Drake added it later. This is why Kendrick says on his diss tracks:
"Surprised you sent that feature request, you know we got some shit to address" and "Did Cole foul, I don’t know why you still pretending."
Drake wanted to squash the subliminal beef he had with Kendrick with the feature request, and when Kendrick denied it, he thought it was real beef.
Look at the second half of "FPS":
"My youngins richer than you rappers and they all stream
I really hate that you been sellin' them some false dreams
Man, if your pub was up for sale, I buy the whole thing
Will they ever give me flowers? Well, of course not
They don't wanna have that talk, 'cause it's a sore spot
They know The Boy, the one they gotta boycott
I told Jimmy Jam I use a GRAMMY as a door stop."
Drake gets way more aggressive in the second half of the track and states that Kendrick is selling people false dreams, he is broke, they won't give him his flowers, he is at the top, and that he doesn't care about GRAMMYs (which is what Drake mocks Kendrick for in "Family Matters").
Then he says:
"What the fuck, bro? I'm one away from Michael
N***, beat it, n****, beat it, what?"
He compares himself to Michael Jackson and even says he will beat his record, which Kendrick directly responds to in "Like That." At the end of the track, Drake says: "Don't even pay me back on none of them favors, I don't need it."
We know that Drake feels like he put on Kendrick and that Kendrick would be nowhere without him, so he rubs that in his face. This verse is where I think Kendrick really took it as a threat rather than just the big three line. That was a part of it, but I think this is what really set Kendrick off. Also interestingly in this video Drake recreates the Messi/Ronaldo picture with J. Cole and compares himself to Messi AGAIN.
Another thing, in the second verse Drake says:
“I click the trigger on the stick like a high beam”
So in Like That when Kendrick says “if he walk around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3k” it could be reffering to this line as well since that track is a direct response to this song. At first most people thought the stick line was about Cole but we know Kendrick calls out Drake for acting tough later on, so it could be a response to this line as well.
Red Button
https://preview.redd.it/y8zhrmr5cp1d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d40f3c901c2afecd20743066c736c3f29e2a6ba
A month after this track, Drake releases “Red Button” on "Scary Hours 3," and I also think this is about Kendrick Lamar (and Kanye, but we are focusing on Dot here).
This entire track, Drake is warning people that if he presses his red button, it will be over for certain people. This red button thing obviously refers to Kendrick since during their diss tracks, Drake was constantly talking about pushing the red button and posting images of red buttons.
“N**** think it's sweet, but I am not a diabetic patient
No, I will start blackin' over here like it's segregation
I will fuckin' double-cross you n**** like it's meditation
I'll give you a hard pill to swallow, this your medication
I will fuckin' pop up on your ass like a revelation
I could tell you better than I show you, this a demonstration
I will fuckin' leave you in the dirt like some vegetation
Chemicals is mixin' in my brain and killin' hesitation
I will fuckin' force a few shots like a vaccination
I'll get to you ten years from now like procrastination
I'll fuckin' find out wherever y'all are celebratin'
Pull up, park my Phantom on the curb like I'm Larry David
And then we'll see who's really crazy”
I have a feeling this is about Kendrick specifically based on the words he’s choosing to talk about, like segregation and procrastination. Things that he makes fun of Kendrick for in his latest disses.
After this we know what happens, Kendrick responds on Like That and the beef really ignites with the diss tracks coming out.

2024.05.21 05:43 certifiedhotmess1 I (26F) am crushing hard on my coworker(30M) and need advice on how to flirt respectfully in the office...but first, is he just a nice guy or am I overanalyzing?

I'd like to start by saying, yes I know work relationships are not often a good idea.
However, I'm (26F & single) looking to move along in the near future and Tray (30M & single) is in a completely separate department than me. We initially met when he moved back up to the area to shift to hybrid scheduling compared to online. I overheard him mention moving to help take care of family and based on the circumstance I actually relate due to having been in a similar situation with family in the past. Honestly it was one of the first things that got my attention because it showed his compassion.
Tray is in office about 5 days out of the month, which has been happening for about 10 months. In that time I've found him to obviously be attractive, but also really smart and kind. He's super chatty and very outgoing. We both went after similar careers (not necessarily where we work, but degree wise). He went to school down by my hometown and my friends actually knew of him because he was a graduated celebrity their Freshman year. Anyway, since he came back to the office, I have lost 40 lbs and have been working on myself a significant bit. I only mention this because I tend to be self conscious especially around men I have a crush on and it has made a huge improvement on this aspect.
Around February I got placed on a project that led me to contacting him to help with a piece. From there he actually recruited me for a personal project of his. I may have pulled a couple strings to get this added to my to do list right away so no one else would get assigned the project if he were to go through my team's normal channels. I really went out of my comfort zone doing this so that I would force myself to actually converse with him and not just be a wallflower destined to go unnoticed.
We have met every once in a while for his project in which it took a bit of time for us to get away from work specific talk, well me more than him. I even have been forcing myself to approach him with project related accomplishments while he is in office, pulling up a chair and showing him the progress. I'm not good at reading people and super overanalyze (I have a touch of the tism mixed with being a hopeless romantic) so this is where I need advice:
I swear when I pull up a chair he gets really close and I've been really forcing myself to maintain eye contact even though I know it makes me blush really bad. Every time I show him my progress, he complements me by saying things like "I'm so old and out of touch, it'd take me years to learn how to do that" or "that is so cool you can do that" and other things like that to which I always thank him and mention that it's all pretty new to me - he could easily learn these things. One day when I stopped to talk to him, one of my older teammates stood up like normal to join my conversation, but watched questioningly then slowly sat down (his cube was right next to Tray's) even though I had smiled at him to let him know he could join.
He has accidentally asked about the project by contacting the wrong member of our team, our names are very similar, think "Ashton" and "Ashley". What struck me is he's the only person at work who has ever apologized for doing it and followed up the next time by joking as he came in by saying "Good morning, Ashley. I won't let that happen again". I even go over and start conversations with fun life stuff and then go into the fake work question (because I can't just be friendly if I like him...my brain is broken lol). I may have read this wrong, but he seemed slightly disappointed when I brought up our project last time. Maybe that's because his piece needs done or I misread.
Today on my way to a conference room he actually turned around to say good morning and start up a conversation (normally I walk up when I want to talk and I normally have to get his attention. But he ended the conversation fairly quick too. It felt pretty normal and I'd say we have a good flow considering we both make each other laugh, but compared to long conversations he had with two of our coworkers, I wish I could get past my own walls to actually ask him about his life without feeling like I'm prying or going to get called to HR.
I have never been one of the girls who gets flirted with often and I will say I do have some rejection issues, but I have been really trying to put myself out there. But I am conventionally pretty and curvier, granted I am working on my health currently. I get a lot of compliments from elderly people on how "beautiful" I am...so I'm not some monster seeking love. I was slightly concerned that it might be a turn off considering he's into lifting, but he has such a big heart, I kind of let that negativity go. Not that it still can't be true that I'm not his cup of tea.
For advice, does any of this sound like he might be interested at all or am I hugely over analyzing and need to cut this crush off at the knees? Or if there hope for me, how do I flirt with him subtly in the office? Likewise, I am interviewing at other companies currently, if I were to move on, any advice on how to give him my number before I leave would be helpful too.
I appreciate any/all advice you can give.
Best,
Chronically Single and Crushing
P.S. so sorry if this is the wrong space, I am very new to Reddit.

2024.05.21 05:01 JotaTaylor What were some awesome detective novel style mysteries your party has solved?

I'm preparing a short campaign (to run from levels 3 to 8 in 6-8 sessions) in which the party will not be adventurers per se, but private eye detectives based on Waterdeep, taking on delicate cases that must be solved with cunning and discretion, rather than force. I have three cases all mapped out so far:
Now, I need three other mysteries to be solved by a group of 5 characters between levels 4-7 as one-shot adventures (hopefully, though I understand some cases might take two sessions to solve, depending on how caught up in detail the players will get).
So I thought of resorting to you my fellow nerds for inspiration: what were some awesome and epic detective-themed adventures you've had at your table?
I really, really, really hope all players decide to be halfling rogues.

2024.05.21 03:27 DeltaAleph Do you consider how ironic is that "legit" services are becoming more and more sketchy than pirate ones with time?

I know it isn't strictly related to piracy, but I think it would fit the thematic of the subredddit. So have you been noticing how services made by big corporations are becoming more and more like the "criminal pirate sites" they demonise so much.
For example, just look into the OS, Win11 is in process of becoming more and more like a giant billboard and subscription shovelware with some OS sprinkled. They are literally already promoting a lot of their services on Win10, a paid OS, and now on Win11 they are about to put the same kinds of ads that dubious mobile apps your tech illiterate little cousin would download for "free vbucks". And when I mean the same kind of ads, I'm talking almost seriously, with such providers like Taboola.
And speaking of Taboola, just look in the news pages, apart from forcing you tracking and paywalls for meh info, they now try to mix "recommended content" from Taboola and similar slop sites, which can vary from fake celebrity info, alt-right propaganda, to Indian tech support scams and the crypto-scam or ponzi of the week.
Oh, and YouTube of course, you can't say a bad word or talk about mature topics as an academic, or dare to use even a second of music under Faur Use (because you will be shadow banned, demonetised and age restricted). But of course Google can show you ads for copyright infringing apps, bad games that are filled to the brim with P2W, religious extremism, alt right lies, crypto scammers that have an issue with Musk, or even fucking porn. Also, that they are willing to break the entire web just to stop adblockers.
And now, EA is trying to make games that cost 70 dollars and have lots of microtransactions into just a glorified mobile game made by some Indian scammer. Their attempts to use corposlang are so funny, since they think they can fool us. Also, that they of course want to hand Denuvo, always online, and kernel rootkits, ahem, anticheats like to us and expect we will keep buying, or even worse, subscribing to air.
And the streaming services that have lost the only good traits that differentiated them from cable, now are fragmented, costly, filled with uselessness filler content, and soon covered in ads.
All of those, I must mention, also want to mine your data and use it to sell even more ads, or to give the NSA or FBI more excuses to arrest people the government don't like. All of that while you are supposed to be the "paying costumer of premium services".
So what's the incentive to buy Win11 instead using of MAS scripts, when you are going to be bombarded with ads and have your data mined? Or what's the point of paying Adobe when you get air or even a fee if you stop your subscription, and while your data can be used to train AIs without your consent? What about paying for a Denuvo ridden, kernel level anticheat security nightmare, sluggish, bugged game that despite being Single Player needs a connection to a server and use ten different launchers and apps, that can send your info? Then using a version from a crazy hacker doesn't sounds bad.
And what's the difference from fragmented, costly ad filled streaming services that will track your devices so they cannot share passwords and that can remove content from just using a pirate site? At least those allow you to just watch the video after the first titties or illegal betting sites ads.
So what's the excuse of the "legal megacorps" now?
