Im sick of hearing "primacy but not supremacy" its the same thing primacy is defined as "the fact of being primary, preeminent, or more important." and is even used in 1960s Catholic theology books. Affirming papal primacy doesn't go with eastern orthodox theology. Also eastern orthodox can cope with "First among equal!" or "Extra honor but no extra authority!" that's completely wrong to the early church and first among equals isnt a good term, if i were always first at something i would be more supreme then another. In regards to the early church Heres some references, Quoted in “Athanasius Quoted works” page 110 Pope Julius Letter to the eusebians at Antioch “And why is nothing said to us (The Apostolic see) concerning the Alexandrians in particular, are you ignorant that the custom has been for word to be written first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place” so he is saying in the matter of disputes matter should be brought to the see of Rome as to make a judgment and this is the east he is speaking to not just his patriarchal territories. Then he goes on and says “I beseech you readily bare with me what i write is for the common good, for what we have received from the Blessed apostle Peter that i signify unto you and i should have not written this as deeming that these things should be manifest unto all men had not these proceedings so disturbed us”
some might say this is peter syndrome where we get all giddy and excited when peter is mentioned and Rome is mentioned but i would like to say Pope Julius said he has received something from the Blessed apostle Peter that disputes in the east should be brought to his judgment to be settled.
Now from the writings of the early Church Historian sozomen source: Volume 2 of the nicene and post nicene fathers second series. Book 3 Chapter 10. Heres what he says about this whole affair of Pope Julius writing to the antiochians and what he ment in that segment “the bishops of Egypt having sent the declaration in writing, that these allegations were false and julius having been apprised (to give information to someone) that Athanasius was far from being in safety in egypt send for him to his own city he replied at the same time to the letter of the bishops who were convened at antioch (convened: to bring together a group of people for a meeting, or to meet for a meeting) for just then he happened to receive the epistle and accused them of having planned clandestinely(in a secretive and illicit way.) introduced innovations Contrary to the nicene dogmas and of having violated the laws of the church by neglecting to invite him to join their synod for he alleged that is a sacral Canon which declares that whatever is enacted contrary to the bishop of Rome is null."
Now from Nicea II Pope Hadrians Letter
‘Stand firm; for if you abide with perseverance in the orthodox Faith in which you have begun and so through you the sacred and venerable images are restored in those regions to their former state—just as the lord and emperor Constantine of pious memory and blessed Helena, who promulgated the orthodox Faith, raised up the holy, catholic, and apostolic church of Rome as your spiritual mother, and with the other orthodox emperors venerated it as the head of all the churches...'"
"...of all the churches... If, moreover, following the traditions of the orthodox faith, you embrace the judgment of the church of the blessed Peter prince of the apostles and, as the holy emperors your predecessors did of old, so you too venerate it with honor and love his vicar from the depths of your hearts, or rather if your rule granted by God follows their orthodox faith in accordance with our holy Roman church, the prince of the apostles, to whom was given by the Lord God the power to bind and to loose sins in heaven and on earth."https://orthodoxchurchfathers.com/fathers/npnf214/npnf2258.html
the blessed Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, says: "That we may remain members of our apostolic head, the throne of the Roman Pontiffs, of whom it is our duty to seek what we are to believe and what we are to hold, venerating him, beseeching him above others; for his it is to reprove, to correct, to appoint, to loose, and to bind in place of Him Who set up that very throne, and Who gave the fulness of His own to no other, but to him alone, to whom by divine right all bow the head, and the primates of the world are obedient as to our Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
St. Damasus, Pope of Rome (A.D. 304-384)
“Although the catholic churches diffused throughout the world are one bridal chamber of Christ, yet the holy Roman church has been preferred to all other churches, not by any synodical decrees, but has obtained the primacy by the voice of our Lord and Savior in the gospel, saying: ‘You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell will never prevail against it; and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven…..Therefore, the first see of Peter the Apostles is that of the Roman church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing” (Decree of Damasus, Roman Synod 382. Patrologia Latina 13.374; Jalland, T.G. (1944). Church and Papacy. London: Morehouse-Gorham Co. p. 255-57)
“For in view of our office there is no freedom for us, on whom a zeal for the Christian religion is incumbent greater than on all others, to dissimulate or to be silent. We bear the burdens of all who are oppressed, or rather the blessed apostle Peter, who in all things protects and preserves us, the heirs, as we trust, of his administration, bears them in us…[proceeds to list a number of errors being promoted in Tarragona (Spain)]… it is also inappropriate henceforth for you to deviate from that path, if you do not wish to be separated from our company by synodal sentence….Enough error on this matter! All priests who do not wish to be torn from the solidity of the apostolic rock, upon which Christ built the universal Church, should now hold the aforementioned rule…[lists more errors]…let them know that they have been expelled by the authority of the apostolic see from every ecclesiastical office, which they used unworthily…[lists more errors]… there is freedom for no priest of the Lord to be ignorant of the statutes of the apostolic see and the venerable decrees of the canons…” (Pope Siricius to Bishop Himerius of Tarragona 385 AD, Epistle 1, Directa Ad Decessorem. Patrologia Latina 13.1132; Ed. Pierre Coustant, Epistolae Romanorum pontificum (Paris, 1721; reprint Farnborough, 1967), 623-638.)
St. Innocent, Pope of Rome (401-417)
The reply of Pope St. Innocent in 417 to the Africans concerning their appeal on the controversy of Pelagius/Celestius goes like this:
“In making inquiry with respect to those things that should be treated with all solicitude by bishops, and especially by a true and just and Catholic Council, by preserving, as you have done, the example of ancient tradition, and by being mindful of ecclesiastical discipline, you have truly strengthened the vigour of our Faith, no less now in consulting us than before in passing sentence. For you decided that it was proper to refer to our judgement, knowing what is due to the Apostolic See, since all we who are set in this place, desire to follow the Apostle (Peter) from whom the very episcopate and whole authority of this name is derived. Following in his steps, we know how to condemn the evil and to approve the good. So also, you have by your sacerdotal office preserved the customs of the Fathers, and have not spurned that which they decreed by a divine and not human sentence, that whatsoever is done, even though it be in distant provinces, should not be ended without being brought to the knowledge of this See, [39] that by its authority the whole just pronouncement should be strengthened, and that from it all other Churches (like waters flowing from their natal source and flowing through the different regions of the world, the pure streams of one incorrupt head), should receive what they ought to enjoin, whom they ought to wash, and whom that water, worthy of pure bodies, should avoid as defiled with uncleansable filth. I congratulate you, therefore, dearest brethren, that you have directed letters to us by our brother and fellow-bishop Julius, and that, while caring for the Churches which you rule, you also show your solicitude for the well-being of all, and that you ask for a decree that shall profit all the Churches of the world at once; [40] so that the Church being established in her rules and confirmed by this decree of just pronouncement against such errors, may be unable to fear those men, etc.” (Pope Innocent I, Epistle 29, to the Council of Carthage (In requirendis). Jan 27, 417 AD. Patrologia Latina 33.780)
Pope St. Zosimus (AD 417)
Innocent’s successor, Pope Zosimus, continued to write letters to Africa concerning the same Pelagian issue:
“Although the tradition of the Fathers has attributed such great authority to the Apostolic See that no one would dare to disagree wholly with its judgment, and it has always preserved this [judgment] by canons and rules, and current ecclesiastical discipline up to this time by its laws pays the reverence which is due to the name of Peter, from whom it has itself descended …; since therefore Peter the head is of such great authority and he has confirmed the subsequent endeavors of all our ancestors, so that the Roman Church is fortified … by human as well as by divine laws, and it does not escape you that we rule its place and also hold power of the name itself, nevertheless you know, dearest brethren, and as priests you ought to know, although we have such great authority that no one can dare to retract from our decision, yet we have done nothing which we have not voluntarily referred to your notice by letters … not because we did not know what ought to be done, or would do anything which by going against the advantage of the Church, would be displeasing.…(From the epistle (12) “Quamvis Patrum traditio” to the African bishops, March 21, 418. Patrologia Latina 20. 676; Denzinger, H., & Rahner, K. (Eds.). (1954). The sources of Catholic dogma. (R. J. Deferrari, Trans.) (p. 47). St. Louis, MO: B. Herder Book Co.)
MG 54.743. Jerome: "I keep the unity in communion with your Beatitude, that is, with Peter's chair. I know that the Church has been built upon that rock." (Epist. 15.1, to Pope Damasus, ML 22.355).
The Roman See is the "Apostolic Chair" or the "Apostolic See." Augustine: "The sovereignty of the Apostolic Chair was always in the Roman Church" (Epist. 43, ML 33.163); "Apostolic See" (Serm. 131.10, ML 38.734).
The Roman Church presides as a sovereign over all the other churches. Gregory of Nazianzus: "It presides over all" (Poems, 2.1.12, MG 37.1068); Theodoret of Cyrus: "That most holy see holds in many ways the sovereignty over the churches of the entire world, especially because it kept immune of heretical corruption, and never a dissenter sat in it, but everyone
The Roman See is the source of all rights in the Church. Ambrose: "From that See derive into all the rights of the venerable communion." (Epist. 11.4, ML 16.986).
"Rome has spoken, the case is closed" ("Roma locuta est, causa finita est"). This famous axiom derives from Augustine saying about the debate on Pelagian heresy: "Concerning this question two conciliar decisions have been sent to the Apostolic See: also rescripts came from there, hence the trial is over." (Serm. 131.10, ML 38.734).
The Roman Pontiffs themselves constantly asserted their primacy, as is shown in the following summary of their doctrine.
They apply to themselves Christ's words to Peter, Matt 16.18 ff.: "Thou art Peter..." and John 21.15-17: "Feed My lambs..." Thus Siricius, Boniface I, the "Decree of Gelasius," Hormisdas, Pelagius I, Nicholas I (Denz. 184, 234, 350, 383, 446, 640).
Sure, here is the transcription of the text from the third image:
The Roman Pontiff is Peter's moral person. Siricius: "[The Roman Pontiff is] the apostolic rock." (Denz. 184). Innocent I: "Whenever a question of faith is dealt with, all must refer only to Peter, that is, to the one who bears his name and his honor." (Denz. 218). Leo I: "The blessed Peter did not leave the government which he received... In his See [that is, the Roman] his power is alive and his authority is visible." (Serm. 32 f., ML 54.145 f.).
Peter remains in his successors. See Leo I, just quoted. Philip, apostolic legate to the Council of Ephesus: Peter "is always living in his successors." (Denz. 3056).
The Roman Pontiff is "Peter's heir" (Siricius, Denz. 181) and has "Peter's See" (Leo I, quoted above; Gelasius, quoted below).
The Roman Pontiff has "the care of all the churches." (Innocent I, Denz. 218; Leo I, Serm. 5.2 ML 54.153). He is "the head of all the churches" (Boniface I, Denz. 233; "Decree of Gelasius," Denz. 350; Pelagius I, Denz. 446, 640).

[Ibid.] The language of his decree suggests he regarded the Roman see as a yardstick of Christian orthodoxy."
Pope Vigilius came to become Pope amid much turmoil in 537, as his predecessor, St Silverius, had been accused of treason, defrocked, and exiled by Belisarius, the general under Empress Theodora. Silverius had refused to re-instate the monophysite patriarch of Constantinople, whom Pope Agapetus had deposed — even here, a recognition of the canonical authority of Rome to depose and judge the other most prominent and important Sees of Christendom was something the Popes fought bitterly to maintain against the emperors.
Where was this canonical authority established? In fact, it was as old as the Church itself. When Athanasius had been exiled by a judgment of the Alexandrian Church, Pope Julius had written on his behalf (341): “Judgment ought to have been made, not as it was, but according to the ecclesiastical canon. It behoved you all to write us so that the justice of it might be seen as emanating from all.” Again: “Are you ignorant that the custom has been to write first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place [Rome]?” For Pope St Julius, the judgment of Athanasius which had not sought approval from Rome was a canonical novelty: “not thus are the constitutions of Paul, not thus the traditions of the Fathers. This is another form of procedure, and a novel practice.” However, the reference of judgment to the Apostolic See was something taught by the Apostle Peter: “For what we have heard from the Apostle Peter, these things I signify to you.”

Hello yall! I am a theatre design and production student and I mostly mix sound. I want to switch from from paper scripts to digital ones. I would like to use and iPad that is roughly the same size as a sheet of paper. I need to be able to draw on it, so an apple pencil is necessary. The new iPad's are crazy expensive and I really don't want to spend that much. I found a renewed 2021 iPad pro on amazon for around $700 which is more reasonable, but it is almost 3 years old. I know apple doesn't have the most amazing long term support for mobile devices. I do have an iPhone 14 and a Mac Book Pro so I am familiar with the apple ecosystem, but not familiar with iPad's. The last iPad i had was a fist generation I had when i was a little kid. Thank in advance!

Impact of iterating over same old casteist, mythological stories for generations and generation. through television, schools indoctrination, media, social media. Stockholm syndrome laced victims, even help to empower it : latest example radicalization of people in the name of hinduvta, affected most who were less informed and more dependent of 1-2 sources and weak educational background. How would society change? when you pour these stories and their characters their behaviours which is so outdated as role model. these beliefs over the time become stronger and leave the moral compass shattered. It allows them to full confidently justifying misogynist views, to discriminatory views etc

Does anybody else see it? Does anybody else feel it? I have this feeling in my soul, the world its... it's changed. It's always been rough to exist here people have always been difficult. But I feel as if I live in a world now where I am obsolete unwanted unnecessary hated even. It fills me with rage, depression, hatred. Confusion even. Now I don't expect to have the world handed to me to have life even be good. But when I go into public and I look at people all I see is swine. Brainwashed sheep, people that want change but are to scared to fearful to give up the scraps they scraped together. Seeing people insta or fb their lunch and take photos of food they ordered and be shocked or surprised they got exactly what they wanted for clout enrages me to my very core it feels like my soul is rotting the insincerity behind all that is involved makes me want to kill i feel forced to hide as I feel many others do as well. This place sickens me to my core. I can feel my flesh suit rotting each and every day and within each day's passing I feel more and more sickened by society I just cannot wait for it to end. I am sure this truly could be worse but God I genuinely can't wait for something real to happen it all feels fake. People are beautiful but yet people are disgusting I feel as if I cannot say certain things in fear of judgement fear of being canceled fear of being hated but yet at the same time I no longer care I want to give it all up my newborn my career my vehicles my home I want to quit because it has gotten me nowhere brought me no happiness i wasnt ment to be a father a lover a worker i just dont care i hate it all truly the only thing i seem to relate to is tragedy its truly the only thing that brings me joy reality, the death of a child war dying from old age its truly beautiful and brings me real happiness everything else seems scripted fake played out unreal peoples comments of how i bring them joy and happiness seems fake and i hate it, it makes me feel sick to my core simple beautiful things seem droll it all just seems played out and fake this planet is a fcking joke and I can't wait to sleep forever. I hope it truly does go black and we feel like nothing. (Feel free to call me a edgy incel clown a loser a punk emo goth fggot I really don't care anymore I hate all of you and can't wait to die this place is hell and truly nothing could be worse

I can't believe I'm writing this. But I need some insight cause I find myself getting angry and confused. This is my first reddit post. Please excuse my redditor literacy.
This is the most convoluted story. It is long. But it's a ride.
You've been warned.
(Fake names obviously)
I (20f) have a best friend, Karl (20m) of 4 years. Now I see what you might assume. No. We're close but I'm mainly into women, I currently have a partner and have had a partner 90% of the time they where dating.
Now Karl got with Regina(19f) late 2022, the relationship started off rocky as she said "I only want you" but then kissed her ex, and then couldn't decide who she wanted. But still insisted once she chose Karl, she wanted to stay friends with her ex. Posted pictures when they'd "hang out" where it looked like she was sitting on his lap. But she swore she wasn't. Constantly blocked him after things would happen, then unblocked him, lied, then cried when Karl would find out.
Yes. Infuriating. But here you go. That's how Regina was introduced to our lives.
It took a while but eventually I tried to look past this. I care about Karl, if this was who he loved. We accepted it. Infact made it a point to invite her out to gatherings, made sure to offer her food, offer her drinks, chatting. Making sure she's involved. Gassing her up. Girlie things. (God I'm so desperate for everyone to love me it's a problem.)
Then her friends, ex boyfriend began to follow me, I had hoped this was because of how well I'd done to make friends. But this waa short lived.
Originally I'd just hoped it was banter. I'd chat to them, often sending pictures with Regina in her classes and joking with me.
Unfortunately I have social impairments, Slowly it became clear they where just laughing at me, calling me names but with cutesy emojis. Remember the girls in highschool? The ones thatd pretend to be your friend in class because it was funny? Like that.
So i stopped paying attention, often ignoring them. Unfortunately it only got worse. It got to a point I'd be spammed and have my instagram story replies with slurrs, calling me a pdf. File??? (I was talking to someone 6 years older than me?) Weird references, calling me cringe (I know. I know, worst thing ever right.), picking on my hair, my eyes(strabismus), my clothing. So I folded. Told Karl I wouldn't be dealing with it anymore. I'd blocked them, and asked karl To ask Regina to ask her friends to stop contacting me, I was doing my finishing project in college (uk) to get into university and it was getting to point I couldn't focus. I told him what had been happening, that I didn't know what her problem was. But I am a adult woman and this was bizarre.
Now, that alone. I forgave and in time, forgot. She had allegedly appologized "for them" and didn't know any of that was happening and had no I'll intent and hoped we could still be friends. Okay, sure.
Weird semi important point: she confessed in a groupchat that she used to be a 'chav' I said " you do look like someone who'd have bullied me" Banter. She then posted on her Instagram story (Paraphrased by memory) "When someone says you look like someone who'd have bullied them- but your friend died" I can't remember, but it was along the lines of that kind of 'what the fuck does that even mean'
Upon a later night of drinking, regina was talking to Karl about the ex, Mike. I brang up the fact her ex boyfriend kept liking my photos and was following me Hoping to bond over the fact this guy was weird, common girly bonding
"You know he only follows you so he could make fun of you and how cringe your posts are". She laughs.
The group goes quiet and holy shit I'm embarrassed. I just internalise that and change the subject.
Later I repost a reel of a guy saying something vaugely corresponding to this convosation. Basic premise when someone tells you their friend talks shit about you, then obviously you ask "why do they do that to you" (I know childish but at this point I was starting to really dislike her. My friend had sent it to me, It was late.) When i say She launched, "if you've got a problem talk to me instead of being weird and I'd tell you I was so scared of Mike and he held such a power over me and I just let him chat shit" I'd love to just mention this is after the 2nd time she'd unblocked him to talk to him behind Karl's back. I put up with it. Karl is at this point family. And if this is who he loves. We have to love her too.
This is all important to the point I swear.
Anyway.
My partners (now ex) friend Frank (22) and us fell out. Unimportant to this story but he let me know, Regina and an old very close friend had a groupchat to say very unpleasant things about me in, despite this old friend I never stopped speaking well of. Hoping we'd find eachother again. He'd been scouted when we had fallen out. But respected me enough to tell me. Another confrontation where she is so misunderstood and I'm making a big deal out of nothing and she's never ever had a problem with me.
Okay. Talked to Karl again. He is shocked but takes her word. As I'd kinda expect. Its his girlfriend. He took her to London over my birthday, he didn't want to ruin it. So he gave it up.
Karl throughout this is withdrawing from us. When he's with us it's like the light is gone from his eyes. He's distracted, quiet, doesn't laugh as much. Often tries to slip out of meetups because he'll "only bring you guys down". He's constantly picking up his phone. Constantly messaging. Cancelling plans. He won't talk to us. We where all worried.
Karl few months later calls me for advice. Turns out she kept getting caught in lies about her ex and general behaviours. Ignoring him for days again, threatening to game quit if she doesn't get the attention she wants. It'd all gotten so tiring that he didn't have any attraction to her anymore. He had no sex drive. He dreaded seeing her. But had to constantly message her. He's been feeling like this for months. Karl didn't want to leave her just before her birthday, he felt it cruel. But then it was the anniversary coming up. He didn't want to be responsible. He'd tried gifts, trips, anything just to make her happy. No matter what he did he still felt like nothing was enough. I managed to talk him through. About threatening suicide if someone wants to leave, is indeed abuse. He wasn't himself. How we felt and how we where worried. He got choked up. Not realizing anyone cared. He asked if he should leave. I asked if he was happy. "I can't imagine not having her there." Okay no. Not what I asked. Eventually he confessed He'd never felt lower. I said. Can you see yourself marrying her? No. Infact he said the thourght freaked him out. I said. Well. Why are you with her. Eventually it got to a point He left her. She said she'd been thinking about it. Yay? No 12 hours later he calls me saying its all fixed. Its all okay. How He's a horrible person for doing this to her. How it's him that needs to change. How he will spend a long time making this up to her. You know. I'm a domestic abuse survivor. But I never realized how much hearing that killed abit of my sould. Trying to convince Karl that he's worth anything is like trying to convince a deaf non signing American Conservative that the gays aren't trying to make him gay too.
They do eventually a few months later split. She says she wants to breakup as he "doesn't love her the way she wants him to" he is hurt but says okay. She then obviously realizes hey, he isn't gonna start begging on his knees. You can only hurt someone so much. She then asks "breakup sex" directly after and to this day its our favourite quote. But he says no, she asks for one more night, he says no you just broke up with me? Leave? She complains about not being able to get to the train station. Now. Karl didn't have his licence till a few weeks later. So queue the weirdest car ride with his DAD you've ever heard of. She cried. Hugged him. Begged him to reconsider. Karl officially has realized how disconnected he's become. Nah.
Queue a weird amount of messages ranging between "I'm sorry baby" to "I CANT BELIEVE YOURE GIVING UP ON US" and sexually charged messages, After karl finally blocks her. She begins to call him from various different numbers. Tries to get with his friends. Fails. Still calls him crying for the next 6 months. In which these events happen.
Frank from before. Now it turns out. While we don't have full timeline but either weirdly around the time they broke up they got /very/ close. To the point despite Frank having a partner. She was begging him to sleep with her. But Being weird with it. One minute she wants him. Next she doesn't. Basically, she loves the idea that she could have him. But doesn't want to keep any of them. Frank had a girlfriend. Goddess of a lady. Daisy. Regina proceeded to pick on every little thing to Frank about daisy she could. Always. Physical appearance.
Then. Now I am simply not making this up. after Frank separates himself from this situation. Regina begins to harrass Daisy, With telling Daisy about how much Frank's missing out on not shagging her instead.
And making 6 different instagram accounts to harrass them, and this is where I come in further.
Regina now, after the hate group chooses some last straws she can pull to drag him back. She makes a fake account. Goes to message Frank. With the opener of gossip about me and my partners sex life. I talked to Regina less times than I can Count on one hand.
The main one I'm aware of is "Did you know my partner drinks my names piss" Which I'm not here to kink shame; but this does not happen unfortunately but i still find it beautiful of a statement.
I one day due to some more harassment and more attention than I'm used to.
Decide to private my instagram. It was only for 24 hours in full so I could change some settings and archive some things. Within 15. An account. David, requests to follow. Strange. Cause my account is shadow banned and cannot be shown to non followers. I click. Heavens foretold dear friends. Regina's new boo. Id like to clarify. 2 weeks before Karl was still getting snotty teary calls telling him she misses him. Karl's friends where sending screenshots of Regina trying it on with them then getting snotty when she was rightfully laughed at.
I ask "hi??"
"Hi me and my girlfriend just wanted to stalk how cringe your posts are" I wish I could have been funny and not caught off guard. And shamed them. Oh god. I wish I had. Basically I told him, the gym is waiting. She will chew you up. Idk what I did but I'm sorry. Godamn. Leave me be. And they said "It's not that deep lighten up" I am indeed embarrassed.
But they kept mentioning my workplace. I am a bartender, and one day she did come in with a man, they seems very loved up but then again. It certainly wasn't this guy. then said bad things about me infront of a coworker. It was a little satisfying seeing her face fall and hit the table from shame as I was carrying an ice bucket past her. She was already cut off at this point for her antics.
David's best friends memepage now follows me. But has been the first out of 5 accounts not to say anything. I'm sure they think I don't know. David claimed I was lying in my encounter. I do wonder if I could flip the table entirely.
but I also wonder if she's just very mentally unwell. But it's been 1.5 years of this and I'm just abit knackered and pissed off.
I'm 20 feeling like a highschooler. But I'm working for a bipolar diagnosis and I have ADHD, the paranoia. Is driving me up the wall man. Like this woman knows enough of my details and she's spread where I work. She's been to my house. She has clearly gotten multiple people involves historically and despite me trying to apologise, it makes no difference.
If I knew what the issue was, I'd gauge it. But it's not knowing and not being told. But it's reassuring it's not just me. With daisy, I'm wondering if this is historic. Might be vanity? She (used to?) Post alot of ...suggestive photography and always wears a lingerie corset and heavy makeup, filters. Nothing wrong with that of course but she's a very sexually orientated person, and given the contexts to that behaviour. I wonder if its to cover some in depth issues. But that's just a theory. Part of feels hey, if she needs men to tell her that I am ugly, cringe and worth nothing. Then she van have that. The other half makes me want vengeance for the boy, prove that I'm not whatever she'd been making me out to be and make her realize she needs to change. But that's. abit pathetic innit.
Anyway I doubt anyones made it this far and if you have. Thank you for reading my story and the weirdness of it. I hope it hasn't been too shit. Just needed to get it off my chest. And maybe if anyone has anything to say.
TLDR: my best friends ex has always had an issue despite my efforts. Getting various people to harrass and bully me, She tried to get with his friends, other guys we knew and harrassing us all. All while still crying she misses him. Her new bf thinks I'm lying and is joining in, his best friend now follows me too. My partner allegedly drinks my piss <3

How would you design an algorithm to choose the US WAG Olympic Team, without changing the competition events (ie there's a two-day Nationals and a two-day Trials)?
The way I see it, there are two main components. First, you have to decide what score or scores to use, and then second, what to do with those scores.
(A) What score do you use? Some options for which meets to consider and how to weight scores:

1. Old school: US Nationals is weighted 40%, US Olympic Trials is weighted 60%, nothing else counts
2. US MAG Set 1 under 1.3.2b: average top 3 of 4 routines across Nationals and Trials
3. British (and some others): Top(?) score from a wider range of events, including e.g. 2023 worlds
4. Optimistic: highest score from US Olympic Trials
5. Washington Post "overall performance" approach: 75th percentile score from a set list of events
6. Rewarding good pacing: average of three scores - both days of Trials and better score from Nationals

(B) What do you do with the scores once you have them? Some options:

1. Take the highest scoring team (sum of scores ranked 1-3 on each event)
2. Take the top 5 all arounders
3. Take the team that maximizes the sum of scores ranked 2-4 on each event
4. Take the team that maximizes the sum of scores ranked 3-5 on each event
5. Take the top 3 all arounders, and then the additional pair of athletes who together make the highest all-around score (e.g. a Sacramone + Locklear pair)
6. Require a minimum score on each even to be considered for the team (maybe like an 11.5)
7. Look at all permutations within a certain range (e.g. 0.5) of the optimal one (however you define it) and choose the one that has the most medal contenders using pre-established score cutoffs

I’m a little worried but Idk if I’m just being a mom. My 16 year old is nearing completion of her first month on Accutane. She’s 150 lbs (68kg). He first prescribed 30 mgs and was set to send the same 30 mg script in for her second month.
Well, based on what everyone says here and what Dr Google says, I asked him if he’d consider a higher dose for her second month. She’s tolerated it well so far; only experiencing dry lips. She is definitely purging now though. Her cheeks and neck and a little more bacne. Idk, it just seemed like other people had higher scripts for their weight so i just wasted to see what he’d say.
I was thinking he’d go up to like 40mg but instead he went straight to 60 mg. Is this too much? I’m so worried. We are using Clear Health telehealth so it’s a little less personal. I can ask questions but it might delay the script…she only has 7 days bc of ipledge.
What do you guys think? Is this too high or is this right in line with a normal increase? Send me links to read if you don’t feel like explaining. I don’t mind to learn.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all
My 13 year old son has owned an Xbox One for a few years yet we've never been able to get his headset to work consistently for voice chat. He mainly plays Fortnite.
Any headset we buy - whether wired or wireless - works with the Fortnite game sounds, but his team mates can't hear him 98% of the time. There's been a couple of odd exceptions a few times when people could hear him faintly, but it was so bad he had to resort to calling them on Discord to chat anyway.
Our current headset is the Microsoft Xbox wireless headset. Once recently it randomly worked on squads fill, but not since. I've loaded into a party on Fortnite with him (me on PC, him on Xbox) and he can't hear me even though my voice icon is flashing as I talk. When he talks the icon doesn't do anything. We end up calling each other on FaceTime instead. When I play squads fill my team mates can hear me no problem, so it's not me.
Here are some settings that could be relevant. We set the Xbox up when he was 10 in the proper child safety kind of mode, so even though I've allowed everything since, I can't help feeling like there's a setting I don't know about that's causing this?
Microsoft Xbox wireless headset
Brand new, works well, firmware up to date.

Hello again to Anthony's post-college sale! I will also be travelling to Korea on the 31st of May, so figured, with today and the two days after, to get some of my last sales done. To be transparent, I have been trying to get some more Chinese and Annamnese (Vietnamnese) coins in the near future, so I have to offload some of my stuff to get towards my collecting goals. Got some cool coins lined up in my collection and wanted to offset the cost.
These are all NEW items, mostly from my personal collection of raw inventory, as this sale is mostly raw coins with four nicely graded and slabbed silver pieces of Joseon Korea and of course, Qing and Republican China. Some of the highlights include a NGC AU 58 rare Korean 1 Chon with black enamelling or cloisonne, the only type in the world that would constitute the Taedong series of 1882-83. Quite scarce and nicely toned and sharp for this cast silver issue! There is also a NGC MS 63 Chekiang 10 cent with a much above average strike! And in the realm of PCGS slabs, there is a nice MS 64 blast white Kwangtung 10 Cents, a more uncommon denomination compared to the 20 cents, from the Kuang Hsu era, also ex. personal collection. Lastly, we have a rather large 5 miscals, or half a tael/sar, Sinkiang ration silver xiang yin from the Tihwa Mint, graded XF details. Still a very sharp piece with a authentic LOL Sinkiang black staining on the reverse. Quite unique. I believe this would be hornsilver. Lastly, in terms of raw coinage, we have some nice mini lots of copper cash, including Sinkiang Red Cash and Empire/Provincial 5 cash--a more elusive denomination. We also have a good amount of silver, such as a 1899 Old Kiangnan 20 Cents, ex. Dan Ching, a rare date 1907 Kirin 5 Cents in silver, and three Manchurian Provinces silver 20 cents from my personal collection. There is also a 100 mun from Korea too! All in all, please take a look and let me know if these Asian numismatics and classics in the field interest you!
Thank you all! I hope you all can enjoy these coins from my personal collection! :D

INVENTORY - Guaranteed GENUINE and FOUR are Certified:
LOTS (in Letter Form):
Lot A: Two Rolls of UNC 1960 D Lincoln Memorial Cents

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/RILEsBp
• Rolls are pretty sure not fully filled. hence, NOT 100 total coins. I think when I was in fifth grade, I took some out as I was curious.
• I will assume that, conservatively, there are 90 coins there. They are ALL the same date and UNC. Lustrous. I do not even collect American coins and found these in my desk drawer below some invoices from years past. I am trying to get rid of them.
• Price: 9 USD shipped (reduced from 11 shipped)

Lot B: 1924 (Year 13) Chekiang (republic) 10 Cents - SILVER - NGC MS 63 - white, nice strike and strong, without weakness as generally seen. Hangchow (Hangzhou) Mint - Lin and Ma 289

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/bCkcLGI
• NGC Certification Page: https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6463097-013/63/
• Nice cartwheel luster, even strike with some minor toning, but overall, is white. Crossed flags are sharp and very little chatter, hence, choice for the grade and much better than some, in, say, PCGS holders, with central weakness on the character side and the dot in the center of the reverse.
• Elusive Republican issued 10 cents silver minor, the only one struck during that time, unlike the 5, 10, and 20 cents issued in the Qing Dynasty with dragons on them.
• Price: 250 USD shipped

Lot C: MS 64 PCGS Kwangtung 10 Cents - Blast White, Very Sharp and Lustrous, Full Scales, near-Choice. An excellent addition to any collection! :D

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/lIUZu0X
• PCGS Certification Page: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/46088562
• Strong cartwheel luster for this type and the second smallest of the denomination, in silver, for this 1890-1908 general issue series. More scarce than the 20 cents!
• Blast white with no tone, and excellent surfaces with sharp dragon scales and no major flaws or chatter (clean fields) and sharp denticles and characters.
• Price: 400 shipped

Lot D: PCGS XF Details (97) - Excessive Corrosion / ED - Sinkiang Ration Silver 5 Mace - rare type and very nice, above average strike on the dragon's scales!

• Images:
• PCGS Certification Page: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/47368560
• Check out that die break! Makes it a lightning dragon LOL.
• This coin was submitted by me! :D And it came originally from a NGC AU Details holder, for Environmental Damage. This is the typical Sinkiang ration silver issue, from the Tihwa Mint, featuring the dragon and of course, weighing slightly higher than 3 mace and 6 candareens---the standard issue of Imperial half dollars. This is due to Sinkiang using the Mace/Miscal and SaTael system!
• Scarce issue and harder to find in higher grades. Really unique "black bone patina" according to Chinese collectors where the obverse, character side is all black. Unique out of my inventory, as most of mine are cleaned and kinda weak scales for a XF. Nearly full dragon scale here.
• Popular half dollar issue from an uncommon Sinkiang Province of Qing Dynasty Imperial China.
• Price: 150 shipped

Lot E: RARE 1882-1883 Taedong Treasury Department - KOREA Silver (Cast) 1 Chon - Black Enamel**. NGC AU 58**

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/p7fhDro
• NGC Certification Page: https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6394230-013/58/
• An elusive issue of the popular one year type from the Joseon Dynasty. THE ONLY CLOISONNE COIN in the world LOL, featuring enamelling in the center. This is the black enamel and there is a good amount present in the central HO (户) character, representing the treasury. Scarce issue and with a premium due to the enamelling being present.
• Nice patina with old cabinet tones, a contrast to the generally silvery and white specimens I see in auction. Sharp strike with nice outer rim to the coin, and lightly circulated. Evenly toned, with some underlying luster.
• Price: 720 shipped

Lot F: 1907 Kirin Province (丁未) - Ting Wei 5 Cents - toned, small scratch on obverse. KEY DATE YEAR

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/SGqRyRN
• Grades FINE with two minor scratches on the already tiny 5 cent's obverse (character side). Nice and circy patina and this is the KEY DATE of the series, as by 1908, the Kirin mint would stop making the Kuang Hsu issues. An affordable way to get this elusive piece.

• Images: https://imgur.com/a/wUOqvv2

• There are tons of varieties for the Hsuan Tung era issues, and this is the second scarcest type. The most scarce is one that I have graded AU 53, which is a dot in the center of the rosette as well as dots below the rosettes that flank the sides of the character side. I know it is a mouthful and I write very verbose, but I wanted to elucidate the variety analysis for these Hsuan Tung era issues.

(If you haven’t seen GEMSTIN PRODUCTION’S smiling critters fan animations yet please do. The first one is an alternate ending to the first animation so I re wrote the script and the audio from the video was so bad I couldn’t tell what were some of the things the characters have said, not even closed captions worked so I changed some dialogue. I’m also working on new ideas for more fanfiction which I promise will remain appropriate for even a ten year old to read, if you have ideas maybe share them if you want)
The original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSvmMBjPkY0
The critters assembled at the soccer field and formed together three critter teams. Crafty, hoppy and picky were wearing red vests while Kickin, bubba and Bobby were wearing blue vests. Dogday was the ref keeping the scores and catnap was in the background watching with two different signs he made himself one that says go team and a second one that says go other team.
Dogday: alright everyone hope your ready to have some fun, because today we’re gonna play soccer
Kickin: hope your ready to lose hoppy
Hoppy: you first
Dogday: now guys remember this isn’t a competition just friends having fun. So with that being said let’s play, safely
Kickin: don’t worry guys just stick with me and follow my lead, this is going to be a breeze
Minutes to maybe an hour later go by and both the red and blue team are currently tied with four points
Kickin: out of breath Jesé better than I thought
Bubba: maybe they have a super special technique under their sleeve
Kickin looks over at the red team, crafty is redesigning her red vest, picky looks like she is zoning out thinking about food and then her stomach rumbles, and as for hoppy she is doing the cotton eye Joe dance with the ball next to her feet
Kickin: I don’t think I’m worried about that
Bubba: then we should have a plan or our own. Lucky for us I thought up about seventeen different ways we can win this. The first one being-
Kickin: plan shman when hoppy kicks the ball over to me I’m gonna take it from her and kick it into the the goal as hard as I can
Bobby: can you do that?
Kickin: of corse B.B. they don’t call me Kickin chicken for nothing
Bobby: oh well if that’s the case than make sure you put your heart into it
Bubba: the likelihood that you fail and we loose I promise I won’t say I told you so
Kickin: gee thanks
Hoppy: bouncing the ball with her foot hey Kickin you ready to loose or not?
Dogday: it’s just a game hoppy
Kickin: thinks in his head okay Kickin you got this when she kicks the ball in my direction I’m gonna stop it and start kicking it towards her goal easy
Kickin thinks he is gonna stop the ball by blocking it and smacking him in the chest. When hoppy kicks the ball Kickin jumps a bit to high and the ball flies right into his groin
Kickin: holds his hands between his legs OHHH MY CHICKEN NUGGETS
Dogday: what the heck?
Bobby: oh my goodness
Kickin: crying in pain
Bubba: what in the world?
Hoppy: covers her mouth in shock and stutters allot
Dogday: okay everyone stay calm I’m coming over to you Kickin
Crafty: oh my gosh
Bubba: what just happened?
Bobby: I’ll go get the book
Dogday: nobody panic okay try and sit up Kickin
Kickin: high pitch I wish I could say I plan that
Dogday: did anyone bring any bandaids?
Bubba: a bandaid?
Hoppy: but I didn’t kick it that hard did I?
Bobby: the rule book isn’t saying anything about injuries
Bubba: of corse not I’m the one who wrote it I didn’t think it was necessary
Picky: guys I’m hungry
Bubba: picky now is not a good time
Hoppy: oh no is it really that bad?
Bobby: continues to flip though pages. Come on rule book tell me what to do here
Hoppy: tears up a little Kickin, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you, I just really wanted to win
Kickin: *still high pitch it’s okay hoppy I wanted to win to, it could be worst
Dogday: okay let’s carry him back home
Hoppy, Bubba, Bobby and crafty carry Kickin back to his house ad then a few moments later they all come back to the soccer field
Dogday: okay everyone with Kickin out and at home recovering from what happened we need a new player on the blue team or the red team to subtract a member if anyone still feels like playing
Everyone still feels like playing but then bubba points out the obvious
Bubba: we’ll dogday is keeping track of the scores so who are we gonna-
Everyone looks at catnap and catnap just looks left and right
Bobby: clears throat so catnap do you want to play soccer with us?
Catnap: looks at the signs he was holding earlier and nods agreeing
Dogday: excelllent here put on kickin’s vest and let’s play
The critters played be more game together and catnap helped the blue team win and cheered for him. Catnap was blushing a little embarrassed
(This is what I think occurred after the events of hog wild)

After a crazy filled day of endurance strength, balance and Felixability crafter was sitting all by herself under the tree on the picnic blanket for about an hour while Kickin and hoppy were helping picky excercise. Finally Hoppy and Kickin returned back to the picnic site to rejoin crafty
Hoppy: hey crafty sorry for leaving you so suddenly we followed Bubba and picky and
Crafty: mixed with frustration and sadness Hoppy I really don’t want to hear it, I’ve been waiting all this time and all of you just left me
Hoppy: guilty I’m sorry crafty
Kickin: hey I’m still up for this picnic as long as if you are
Crafty: so you won’t leave?
Hoppy: no we won’t, in fact how about a game of frisbee?
Crafty: well uhhm
Kickin: we’ll let you throw
Crafty Hmm okay
Hoppy, Crafty, and Kickin start playing frisbee together meanwhile Picky and Bubba were hav8ng ice cream
Bubba: I think maybe tomorrow we take a slow casual walk around town. Slowly meaning no strain no pressure easy way to burn some calories. I’ll join you.
Picky: sounds good as long as hoppy doesn’t help me with my flexibility
Going back to the park Bobby and Dogday surprise everyone
Bobby: hi everyone
Crafty: B.B. dogday, but I thought you were sick
Dogday: I’m feeling allot better today and I took some medicine I didn’t even know I had, it was really nasty
Hoppy: so do you feel like playing frisbee
Dogday: this sounds like an opportunity to see if I’m in good condition
Bobby: by the way why was picky chasing after you two earlier?
Kickin: let’s just say we tried helping her with some things and we went overboard
Hoppy: yeah, now Bubba is treating her to ice cream right now
Dogday: will they be returning here at all?
Kickin: don’t know we will see I guess
Speak of the prototype (devil) Bubba and picky arrive and picky was still covered in bruises from Hoppy and Kickin’s workout routine
Picky: hey dogday your here
Dogday: picky my goodness
Bobby: your a mess what happened to you, Kickin Hoppy
Hoppy and Kickin explain their action on what happen and catnap was sitting in the tree branch looking down at the other critter with a small grin wagging his long purple tail

Well, I have no basis for this, BUT
Fnaf is a game that has been around for many years, 10 at this point. And its story is a tangle of threads that, although it is fun and part of the essence of the franchise, still many of those that are supposedly confirmed (like Mikebro, who for some reason is reviving Mikevitim and ending Mikebro in the Spanish community (for more information see previous posts)) and as much as it is part of the magic of fnaf, I think it would be a good thing.
Imagine this: Scott perhaps reaches 80 years or more? It would be good to see it, but in the event that he dies, I highly doubt that he doesn't have a script or something with the whole Fnaf story. Eventually I could release a script that tells us everything.
Although, with the arrival of Steel Wools it is obvious that Scott is not the only one who knows the story at this point. And since Steel Wools obviously cannot leave the entire history of what are also its games, I propose the following:
Scott could "reveal" or confirm the entire Afton stage before truly retiring. This is in case the post Afton stage by then is still something current in the sense that work continues on the part of Steel Wools, otherwise I think it would be even better if we are confirmed, let's say, "the big fish" of the theories at least. You have to accept it, without detracting from everything Fnaf, I highly doubt that it is a topic that young people are paying attention to by, say, 2073 or something like that, many of us may not make it to that year and we may lose interest, time, etc.
And I'm not saying that Scott or Steel Wools' work is bad, but if by then the Afton stage still has things that are not confirmed, or about the MCI, etc., the story would be soo far from that (especially if at some point they abandon or stop adding data about the beginning of fnaf) which would perhaps be frustrating.
and obviously not everyone can save all the data of the story, there are fans who, although they are not so involved in the lore and theories, they like fnaf and I think they have the right to know the story. everything clear, without changes in names, characters, a line from beginning to end with minor data left to speculation perhaps
It would be good to see, in my opinion, a day where there are no more changes in history and we have an official chronology.
But idk, what do you think about that?
Of course, I also find it difficult for Steel Wools to put aside everything old, but at a certain point there will be nothing more to add to the old story (I'm talking about possibly SB backwards) without it being strange. So if this happens it won't be soon.
I don't plan to leave the franchise even when I'm old, but I can't guarantee anything. Even so, I would have great affection for it and it would be beautiful to see at least the afton stage (and perhaps at that time the post afton stage to a certain extent) result, exposed and stripped to finally see what we are supposed to have before us.
Just saying :D

Well i've already been typed as infp 6w7 but I've recently been pondering whether it's really something that fits me so I wanted to get other people's opinions on my typing.
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
— I'm 19 years old and identify as non-binary (he/they pronouns). I am extremely extra, I am eccentric, I love alternative styles, I love arts in all its forms, I am extremely sentimental, I can be considered strange to many, I talk too much, I seem extroverted around introverts and I seem introverted around other extroverts, I get tired easily in social situations, so I always prefer to talk more via cell phone or computer. I'm very extreme and I can end up feeling very angry, very happy or very sad out of nowhere, I usually try to be kind but I can be rude or insensitive if I'm very angry, I'm a person who really likes to fight for causes aimed at minorities since I'm from several minority groups, I hate injustice, I'm very stubborn and I don't like being contradicted while I always try to be someone who takes various arguments into account.
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
— I'm autistic, adhd, i have gad (generalized anxiety disorder) and i might also have depression.
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
— I grew up in a Christian family, which hurt me a lot when I got older since my family's religion is against my existence as a queer person, and it took them a long time to admit that I needed psychological help and things like that. It's difficult to leave my roots but in the end I ended up stopping believing in my parents' religion after everything I went through.
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
— I'm studying animation design at college, it's one of my passions and I really enjoy learning about the topics, I just hate the structure of taking exams and tests.
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
— I would feel crazy, insane. I need the company of some people close to me to regulate myself and talk about things I like, being alone makes me feel empty and strange. So yeah i would feel lonely.
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
— I'm terrible at sports and I hate them, my motor coordination is horrible. I prefer indoor activities because there is less chance of me overloading myself with something (example: feeling unwell because of the sun, heat, etc.)
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
— I'm very curious, I love discovering new things, I have a lot of ideas at terrible times (in the middle of the night) and I really end up getting disorganized with the amount of things I think about. My ideas and curiosity are generally focused on creative processes like creating characters, universes, stories, but it can also simply be focused on a topic of interest to me (hyperfocuses / special interests). These are things that end up being more of a concept because I'm terrible at executing my ideas.
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
— I don't like being the leader of projects and things like that for the simple fact that I'm not good at handling responsibilities, so I prefer to just execute some order, my problem is that I also really like doing things MY way so it's a bit contradictory. However, in the moments when I have had to be a leader (I was forced to since my colleagues didn't want to do anything) I haven't been a bad leader, I research the project topics and let people choose their topics to present.
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
— I'm not good at being organized or at things that involve motor coordination. For example, it took me decades to be able to tie my shoe laces, know which direction is right or left and I keep forgetting important dates. I don't like using my hands to do activities because they shake a lot and so I'm always horrible at things that involve using my hands. The only things I think I'm good at are playing games and drawing, and even then, drawing is an extreme challenge since I always put a lot of pressure on the pencil when I'm drawing or writing.
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
— Yes, art is something that I have loved since I was young because of the fact that I can express my creativity, ideas and feelings. I've always been passionate about cartoons so my drawing style is very cartoony. I really like seeing fanart from media that I love, but I also love seeing old paintings, especially from Roman and Greek times. I not only like drawing and painting, but I also love art in general. I love cinema, theater, books, sculptures, etc. One day I want to know how to write very well and be able to make books or even draw well enough to be able to make a cartoon. I want to be able to share the comfort I experience by seeing art that makes me feel happy and represented by doing something that also makes people happy through my art.
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
— I have some regrets from the past, but in general I was more "normal" and happy back then, I wouldn't change anything because I follow the idea that my mistakes and successes made me who I am today. As for my present, I try to make the most of it but I'm not going to lie that I'm not a big fan of my current state, I feel a bit useless and very behind compared to most people I know my age so I end up preferring to think more about the future and how things will get better later. At the same time that I really appreciate some current moments of my present, like being able to play with my girlfriend most days, this makes me very happy.
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
— I like helping people, sometimes I even try to help people who didn't ask for my help if they are people I really like (I may end up being seen as inconvenient because of this). I always want to be able to help everyone, but currently because of my mood I may end up not being very helpful as my mental health is not the best, even so, I always try to be very patient and friendly with people who are going through difficult times, even when sometimes I just want to be left alone and I'm not in the mood to help anyone, especially because I know what it's like to be in a bad place and i don't want people to feel rejected.
• Do you need logical consistency in your life?
— I'm very sentimental and I often don't think very logically BUT in arguments and other serious situations I need people to use logic and proven arguments just like i do in those situations so that the debate or serious situation isn't just a bunch of nonsense. I am a sentimental person, but to develop some thought, I need logical arguments
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
— In general, I think it's very important, but I personally can't be productive and efficient since I have a lot of executive dysfunction. I KNOW it's important but I can't be like that.
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
— I like things to be my way but I don't really think I control people? I always impose my opinions a lot but I don't really control people.
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
— I like games, reading books, role-playing, drawing and even trying to write books. I really like fantasy things. It seems more fun than my reality and I like to distract myself from real life things.
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
— I like learning things when they involve what I like or at least are more interactive and I hate math, chemistry and physics btw. I have a lot of difficulty with classes in subjects that require a lot of memorization, I prefer things that are relative and interpretative like arts and literature and I really like classes that involve creativity. I also hate classes where the teacher just talks and talks and talks and doesn't do anything interactive and fun. I generally prefer to study at home for very short periods of time because I learn easier alone and study very briefly because I have difficulty studying for long periods of time.
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
— I'm terrible at planning things, I usually do things at the last minute and I improvise a lot.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
— I think I get a lot of inspiration from artists I like, such as Rebecca Sugar, Tyler Joseph and others. They are very creative people who do things that I really like (I love Steven Universe, which Rebecca Sugar created, and I love Twenty One Pilots, which is the band where Tyler Joseph is the lead singer).
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
— My biggest fears are being alone, because it's scary not having anyone who understands you and who supports you and loves you, and being a burden to the people I love, because I don't want to be an extremely dependent and useless person and disappoint the people I love.
• What do the "highs" in your life look like?
— These are the days when I feel excited to do things and I can be productive doing everything I need in my routine as well as doing my hobbies and being able to relax.
• What do the "lows" in your life look like?
— These are the days when I feel sad, empty and discouraged, I can't do my routine tasks and I force myself to do them anyway in an extremely bad mood, my hobbies may even distract me on those days but it will be a strange feeling as if I'm not really excited to do what I like and I'm just distracting myself from my problems.
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
— Ah, I don't have much attachment to reality and I prefer fantasy things, I constantly get caught up in my own thoughts and I prefer to create happy fantasy situations so I don't deal with my real problems. I'm also pretty distracted in general so regardless of whether I'm fantasizing or not I end up missing a lot of details and dissociating
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
— I would probably try to distract myself by thinking about things I like or talking to myself, depending on if the day was bad I would eventually end up thinking a lot about my personal problems and becoming depressed.
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
— I'm very slow and indecisive when it comes to choosing things, I always want to gather as much information about each option in my mind or by researching on the internet about it and then I always end up between multiple options and changing my mind several times until I arrive at a concrete result.
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
— Some of my emotions may be processed much later than they should have been processed or simply be different from what people usually have. For example, I'm not very good at dealing with grief and I end up not showing the sadness that my other relatives do, but generally I feel my emotions in a very extreme and volatile way. I feel happy for very silly things and when I'm happy I'm VERY HAPPY and I get sad very easily and when I get sad I get VERY SAD.
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
— Yes. I really like demonstrating my opinions and being authentic, it's a very important thing for me, but even so, I sometimes end up just remaining silent or agreeing with something that I don't really agree with because I'm too afraid of being hated and I generally want everyone to like me, even people I'm not very close to. However, I can also be a person with very strong opinions and be very stubborn about what I believe in if it is something linked to social issues or linked to things that I REALLY like.
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
— I break rules that I believe don't make sense, if it's something that I think makes sense I'll follow that rule, but if it's stupid and I don't understand why I have to follow it I'll probably break the rule. I've also never been a person who understands authorities, for me anyone has the right to question something if it's not a useful or logical rule. I agree that rules are important but that they can be adapted, eliminated and added if necessary for people.

Don't judge me. I found a nifty little zombie simulation online I thought I'd attach tf.js to and see if I can zap some zombies. Very simple vanilla index.html and script. I think i have enough visualization to tell the inputs (a list of vectors the agent uses to detect the whats around it) are about right, but I think I'm missing something in my Model becuase it seems to lock itself into a broken policy pretty quickly. I have a feeling my train() method is just plain wrong:

async train() { const model = this; const [sample, sampleIndices] = model.sample(this.batchSize); // Prepare batch data let batchOldStates = []; let batchActions = []; let batchRewardSignals = []; let batchNewStates = []; const batchOldActions=[]; for (let [oldStates, oldActions, rewardSignal, states, actions] of sample) { if (actions.length !== this.numActions) console.error('actions is 0 length: sample' + sample); batchOldStates.push(oldStates); batchOldActions.push(oldActions); batchRewardSignals.push(rewardSignal); batchNewStates.push(states); batchActions.push(actions); } // Convert to tensors const oldStatesTensor = tf.tensor(batchOldStates); const oldActionsTensor = tf.tensor(batchOldActions); const rewardSignalsTensor = tf.tensor(batchRewardSignals); const newStatesTensor = tf.tensor(batchNewStates); const actionsTensor = tf.tensor(batchActions); const oldQValue = model.predictCritic(oldStatesTensor, actionsTensor); if (tf.any(tf.isNaN(oldQValue)).dataSync()[0]) { console.error('oldQValue contains NaN ' + oldQValue.dataSync()[0]); const weights = model.actor.getWeights(); const criticWeights = model.critic.getWeights(); const weightsData = weights.map(weight => weight.dataSync()); const criticWeightsData = criticWeights.map(criticWeight => criticWeight.dataSync()); $("#weights").text(weightsData); $("#criticWeights").text(criticWeightsData); console.error(criticWeightsData); $("#current-state").text(states.join(', ')); } const newQValue = model.predictCritic(newStatesTensor, actionsTensor); if (tf.any(tf.isNaN(newQValue)).dataSync()[0]) { console.error('newQValue contains NaN ' + oldQValue.dataSync()[0]); } // Compute target Q-values const targetQValue = rewardSignalsTensor.add(newQValue.mul(this.gamma)); // Update critic model const criticHistory = await model.fitCritic(oldStatesTensor, actionsTensor, targetQValue); const valueCurrentState = model.predictCritic(oldStatesTensor, actionsTensor); const estimatedFutureRewards = rewardSignalsTensor.add(newQValue.mul(this.gamma)); const advantage = estimatedFutureRewards.sub(valueCurrentState).reshape([-1, 1]);; // Update the policy const actorHistory = await model.updatePolicy(oldStatesTensor, advantage, oldActionsTensor ); // Compute TD errors for each experience in the batch const qValueNextState = newQValue.reshape([this.batchSize]); const qValueCurrent = oldQValue.reshape([this.batchSize]); const tdErrors = rewardSignalsTensor.add(qValueNextState.mul(this.gamma)).sub(qValueCurrent); const tdErrorsArray = tdErrors.dataSync(); if (tdErrorsArray.some(t => isNaN(t))) { console.error('tdErrors contains NaN'); } for (let i = 0; i < sample.length; i++) { const tdError = tdErrorsArray[i]; // Update tdError and priority for existing experience if (this.memory[sampleIndices[i]]) { this.memory[sampleIndices[i]][5] = tdError; const priority = Math.abs(tdError); // Recalculate priority this.priorities[sampleIndices[i]] = priority; // Update priority } else { // Add new experience console.log('Adding new experience, this probably shouldnt ever happen'); this.remember([...sample[i], tdError]); } } return [actorHistory, criticHistory, sample] } async updatePolicy(states,advantages, oldProbabilities) { const objective = (newProbabilities) => { const ratio = newProbabilities.div(oldProbabilities); const clippedRatio = tf.clipByValue(ratio, 1 - this.epsilon, 1 + this.epsilon); const minVal = tf.minimum(ratio.mul(advantages), clippedRatio.mul(advantages)); const meanVal = tf.mul(tf.mean(minVal), -1); return meanVal; }; // Update the policy network using the PPO objective const optimizer =this.optimizer; let lossValue; optimizer.minimize(() => { const loss = objective(this.predictActor(states)); lossValue = loss.dataSync()[0]; return loss; }); return lossValue; } 

but it could be the rest of the model too. First time posting so I hope I'm not throwing garbage at anyone here. This is the rest of it on github: https://github.com/chadmcgrath/zombie-tensorflow

I take clomipramine and ritalin does the two cause too much norepinephrine and it can contribute to anxiety? Since both increase norepinephrine. But clomipramine helps my anxiety and ritalin helps me focus and before when I took it without clomipramine it actually helped my anxiety but now it makes me a little jittery.. if I don't take Klonopin with it..
I had Klonopin from my old script how to convince my dr to it to me again. Im afraid he might tell me to stop stimulants but they help me..
