2024.05.19 11:59 lynne314 How to get back into the fandom?
This might be super silly to ask about but I really don’t know how to feel involved or part of the fandom anymore. For context I first started listening to bts in 2017 when I was 13! I even joined those amino groups when they first started (even the ones with txt!) LOL. School and life got hectic which eventually lead to me slowly becoming detached to them and their music around 2019/2020. And it wasn’t just bts, it was nearly every kpop group or band that I stopped partaking in. I still listened to some songs but not nearly as much as I once did. Eventually I stopped checking in with what every member was doing and stopped watching the “run bts” along with any shows they would be guests on. However, I’m 20 now (about to be 21 in June :D) and recently I’ve found myself missing them and being obsessed with their music.
They brought so much joy to me and I really miss that era. It’s been so long since I’ve actively been part of the fan base that I’m so lost on current events and minobig changes that have occurred over the years. I know about their military status! There’s just so much to catch up on that makes it feel hard to actually get back into them.
I’ve started listening to their music again, wondering if I should just find a timeline video from 2019 to now 😭? I really just don’t know where to start.

Hello. I’ve struggled with anxiety for a long time now and I’m in college currently. I don’t have social anxiety but for many other reasons I don’t have friends. I think a big part of that is that my best friend is my mom. If you’ve ever seen Gilmore girls, we’re like Rory and Loreali. We just have the exact same sense of humor, we talk for hours, and obviously she’s my mom. I love my dad as well, but it’s not the same- maybe because I’m a girl? I grew up with lots of friends but complicated and traumatic friendship breakups held me back in high school and now I’m in college. Honestly, because my mom is so amazing, it’s fucking hard to try and meet new friends (especially nowadays with social media and people being way less social anyways) because she’s like the perfect friend. Anyways, what I’m getting to is that recently I’ve been realizing how I really have no close connections outside of my mom. And this has brought a sudden urge of fear and horrible intrusive thoughts about her dying (even writing that makes me feel destroyed with grief.) I could never live without her, I just couldn’t. And I’m even thinking so far into the future like when I’ll be 60 she’ll be 90 and it just breaks my heart that we can’t grow old together and when I’m super old, she’ll be gone. I keep having horrifying thoughts about me being alone and her gone and I’m completely incapacitated. Is it normal to have these thoughts? They often make me feel very alone and unusual and I’m thinking of bringing it up to my therapist but almost even saying the words- I’m worried it will bring bad luck and it’s just so painful. I’m sorry if this is poorly written or disorganized. Thank you and would love to hear if anyone else can relate. I just feel so alone in this experience and the only person who doesn’t make me feel alone is my mom.

2024.05.19 11:57 Interesting_Tangelo1 My cat is destroying me (and my carpets)
Might be a lengthy read.. I always try to give as much detail as possible..
My Mathias is a 7/8 year old neutered male. I found him during a road trip at a truck stop in the middle of no where when he was about a year old. Love him to death. He's the sweetest boy.
We moved to a new apartment back in November. He was great for a few weeks and then everything went downhill again and my carpets were ruined in my living room. In case anyone is wondering, yes, the issues were present anywhere else we've lived as well..
Believe me, I know taking him to the vet is the first step. I took him twice within a month since December last year. Blood work, urine test, fecal test, x-ray.. $1000 later and they said he's slightly constipated, but other than that, completely healthy. He was on dry food up until then because I actually had no idea wet food was better. So since then, he's been fully on wet food with probiotics and Metamucil added (vet recommended). I know saying to go to the vet is the best advice in this scenario usually, but I really wanted to make clear that he's gone and he's healthy.
More context that might be important.. He's fat. He lived with my family while I was in school, and ballooned up in weight. So right now he's on a diet and he's not a very happy camper. So.. not perfectly healthy, but he doesn't have a UTI and his kidneys/heart/etc are fine.
Over the last couple weeks he's started peeing on the carpets in my bedroom. The living room is blocked off so he can't get to the carpeting in there anymore. I'm losing my mind. Last weekend when I barely opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was him peeing. Thing is, he does this and then runs to his food bowl. Maybe 30 minutes ago I turned around and he was peeing in that same spot again. And when I got up to grab paper towels, he ran straight to his bowl. Is this to get my attention? I typically feed him right when I wake up, so when he peed last weekend, I waited nearly an hour to feed him. I didn't want him to think that pee = food. I'm not sure if that was right to do, but I wasn't taking any chances.
I tried everything I saw when I read on reddit about people in similar situations. But I usually end up seeing most advice being about taking the cat to the vet, which is why I'm making my own post.. I've gotten additional litter boxes, different typed of boxes (high sides, low sides, extra wide, etc) I've used different litter (he ended up only liking the one he's always used), I clean the boxes 2 times a day, I've moved the boxes to where he's peeing and he will use it, but he'll still go on the floor next to it. I got a litter robot and then returned it because he wouldn't use it.. I've done almost everything I can think of except hire a behaviorist.
His behavior typically is very laid back. He just wants to be pet and take naps. He'll usually lay on his back next to me so I can scratch his tummy. He likes to play with my hands and run around. Nothing about him tells me he's stressed or unhappy, but I could be wrong? I figured the move at first would definitely stress him out.. but 6 months?
I'm exhausted. I've lived here for 6 months now and I will not have any friends over because I'm SO embarrassed of the smell. It's awful. Those of you who have had cats like this know the toll this takes on your mental health.. I've had this cat for almost a decade. Giving him away is literally the last thing I want to do. But I can't do this for another 5-10 years. I'm at my limit. He's been banished from my bedroom tonight and I put his beds in the kitchen (tile flooring). It breaks my heart leaving him alone like that. I just don't know what to do.
Please, if anyone has dealt with a cat like this, let me know if anything you did helped.. Recommendations for cleaning products to get rid of the smell would be great too.. I've made my peace knowing I'm not getting my security deposit back.. Thanks <3

2024.05.19 11:57 Lopsided_Internet_56 [Draft] Pitch Deck Feedback Request
Hey guys,
So my partner and I have been working on a Pitch Deck for our feature length film and would like some feedback before we go into Photoshop and more-or-less finalize every slide. The design is very much a WIP but the content is basically all here (for example, you may notice red boxes around certain text snapshots, this is to track the words that'll end up being colored red in Photoshop). Since this film is based on actual historical events, the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire, we've dedicated the first 9-10 pages so they quickly summarize the major beats before delving into the story components. Fair warning, the images are pretty high in quality, so you may experience some delayed load-in times here and there. Especially if you're on your phone.
The purpose of this pitch deck is for if/when we pitch to execs, studios, other writers, etc. We also have a short film, a film treatment, a mood board and a script that will act as accompanying material.
Thanks and would appreciate any feedback whatsoever!!
Here's the logline: Based on true events, a young arsonist must piece together memories from his harrowing past as authorities unravel conflicting accounts of his involvement leading up to the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire
Here's the link to the pitch deck: https://drive.google.com/file/d/177ITWJMVvbw6fy8D2npUrKZFcOVV5Vyb/view?usp=sharing
And here's the first 30 pages if you're curious: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dKc6WdTySVsBt_cOj0-mZyAft-jktFVL/view?usp=drivesdk

2024.05.19 11:55 SpazJR61 Sony Ericsson W880, the Ultra slim Walkman phone
 | With only being 9.4 mm thick and no camera bump, it was one of the slimmest phone for its time and it's packed with features like Flash Lite menus, Walkman 2.0 player, 3G connectivity and TrackID music recognition It also has an unusually small but high res 1.8" QVGA (240x320) display submitted by SpazJR61 to vintagemobilephones [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 11:54 MrRaccuhn If you like 80s Martial Arts movies you need to see THE LAST KUMITE
 | It's a love letter to 80s martial arts classics like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, No Retreat, No Surrender etc. It's got lots of inspiring training montages. Great fight scenes that are choreographed, shot and edited like back in the 80s. A wonderful, despicable villain played by genre legend Matthias Hues. Speaking of legends, the movie is full of them: Billy Blanks, Cynthia Rothrock, Kurt McKinney, Michel Qissi, Abdel Qissi and of course Matthias Hues. The legendary music composer Paul Hertzog (Bloodsport, Kickboxer) came out of retirement to score the film. And the music is simply amazing. It's inspiring, gets your blood pumping and it sounds exactly as if it's straight from the 80s. Stan Bush also contributed 2 songs to the film. He also did the songs for Bloodsport and Kickboxer. And they sound great in The Last Kumite. This is a movie made by fans for fans. A true passion project, done on a very tight budget, which actually adds to its B movie charm. Loved it. 7/10 for sure. Highly recommended to everyone who loves these classic 80s martial arts films. submitted by MrRaccuhn to movies [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/n293y3ggvc1d1.jpg?width=606&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2447f15408f20530b916f17ae3d16e698aa29084 |
2024.05.19 11:54 elitemihi Seeking Advice on Finding a Job in Shanghai: EU Citizen with CS Background
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some realistic advice and insights on my current job search situation in Shanghai. Here’s a bit about my background and what I’m facing:
My Background:
I'm currently in a bind. With my background and qualifications, finding a good programming job in Europe wouldn't be too difficult. However, in Shanghai, it's been so challenging to find any job, even those I'm grossly overqualified for, no matter how much I lower my standards regarding career progression and compensation. Although I could find a remote job, that wouldn't solve my visa issue.
Given my qualifications and experience, what are the realistic chances of finding any job in Shanghai that provides a livable wage and normal work hours? Any advice on navigating the job market or improving my odds would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have insights on making this work?
Thank you!

I'm looking for some realistic advice and insights on my current job search situation in Shanghai. Here’s a bit about my background and what I’m facing:
My Background:
- Nationality: EU citizen
- Education: Studied in the UK for 5 years. I hold a BSc in Computer Science (First-class Honours) and an MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Merit).
- Experience: 3+ years in software development:
- 2 years at a private company
- 1 year at a government research agency working on control software for particle accelerators
- All work experience was before & during my undergrad and postgrad studies (all full-time: office, remote, and placement year).
- Relevant Languages: Fluent in English (though not a native speaker), very limited Mandarin.
- Looking to stay in Shanghai for around 2 years.
- My passport doesn't allow long-stay multi-entry L visas. I’ve managed to get a 60-day single-entry L visa before (considered rare for my passport), but I’ve been told by the visa people that I can’t stay longer than 6 months within a 12-month period using short-term L visas.
- Therefore, I need to secure a work (Z) visa or, as a last resort, an X1 student visa (though scholarship applications for this year seem to be closed).
- Applied to over 200 jobs at 100+ companies (multinationals, domestic companies, schools, etc.) in the past 2 months.
- Used multiple job platforms: LinkedIn, Indeed, GlassDoor, LaowaiCarrer, eChinaCities, HiredChina, SmartShanghai, LiePin (猎聘), and ZhiLianTuiTui (智联推推).
- Applied to a variety of positions: software-related, IT and tech support, CS/Programming & ESL teaching, customer support call centers, SEO optimization, QA/Localisation, marketing, various internships, etc.
- I've been open and flexible in my job search, willing to make sacrifices in career progression for roles I may be overqualified for or not directly related to my background.
- Multinationals seem to only need seniors or team leads with many more years of experience and have, for the most part, ghosted me.
- Expat websites are flooded with listings for teaching jobs that have good benefits and (frustratingly) loose requirements but require native English speakers.
- Many English-related jobs (localization, proofreading, digital content creation, translation QA, user research, etc.) inexplicably require native English speakers. Despite being able to excel in these roles and achieve a high IELTS/TOEFL score if needed, I am deemed unqualified solely due to my passport.
- HR on Chinese job boards have shown a lot of interest in me, but most Chinese companies don’t seem to be currently hiring international talent.
- Planning to stay in Shanghai later this year for as long as my tourist visa allows, to continue job hunting in person. I am hoping that this will simplify the process and improve my chances. I will have, at most, 3 months on my L visa.
- If during that time I still don't manage to secure work, I really won't know what else to do, as I may not be issued another L visa.

2024.05.19 11:53 MomentTrue5981 worthless child
Lumaki akong laging sumusunod sa gusto ni Mama. Even if I know na mali ito. I always doing my best to satisfy my worth to her—but I always end as a nagmamagaling at mapagmalaking anak.
When I was a kid akala ko normal lang na i-compare ka sa iba. I was being a consistent honor sa school—but not the top 1, I was always being the with honor and never the highest, and being that child always hurts my pride.
I always striving to achieve the title "highest honor or with high honor" but my little self cannot handle the pressure and always end up being "with honor".
I know that even if she didn't say it on my face that she is disappointed, I can see it in her eyes.
So I tried everything and strive harder, even if I feel that my eyes are burning red and my hand felt numb.
I was always crying and asking god why does my mom cannot see that i was always trying my best. But I guess it's my fate.
One time. I have spotted a food on the kitchen counter top, and boom! i found myself having that "satisfied feeling" when I'm eating and it became my stress reliever—even if I don't want to eat. I always seeing myself eating and eating until I feel like i need to vomit. And my life cycle is always like that. stress=eat and eat. I was to focus on learning that I cannot see that I was ruining myself. And my parents doesn't even know about it.
Months have passed, and I look at the mirror and see myself. I have gained a lot of weight and felt that my body have change. And for some reason, I just shrugged it off and enjoy the comfort of what foods gives me.
And for the first time of my life, natamo ko na ang pangarap ko, 'with high honor na ako' I thought that mom would be so delighted to know it, but in the end her only reply was "okay, congrats" I felt so lowly and my little ego was crushed. I was expecting that my mom will say "omy congratulations anak! Proud na proud si mama sa'yo" but I guess I should never expect too much. I should strive much harder so she will be proud on me.
The cycle of my life continue.
I just woke up on my petty dream, when my classmates bullied me "hoy taba! tabi ka nga diyan, 'di ako magkasya. Ang lapad mo kasi" "hoy baboy, ano sagot sa number 2?" Masakit pala.
I went home and did tell my mom, and i was expecting her to defend me, but she end up saying "Totoo naman, bakit hindi ka kaya magpapayat. Tignan mo si Resa (not real name), sexy, maganda, tapos matalino pa. Tapos tignan mo sarili mo para kang balyena" her words dugs into my heart like a knife. I never thought that words can really hurt a person big time. I thought Mom would say words of encouragement to make myself stop from my life cycle habits, but it ends up worse.
Then i found my myself, eating and eating again.
I have no friends. I have a circle but I feel I don't belong there, they have always the main friend, and the 'main friend' was never me. I have no one to talk to, i was afraid to tell my parents because it will end up in the sentence "ako nga noong kasing edad m—" I really feel invalidated so I just shut my mouth and stayed silent, and keep my thoughts in me.
Then my nightmare have come, my mom and I argued on something because I corrected her ways. Her words are really sharp and ended up hurting me.
"Mapagmalaki kang bata ka, akala mo naman may maibubuga ka"
"Pinagsisihan kong pinanganak pa kita, sana pinalaglag nalang kita"
And then there, she revealed her true self. She doesn't want me in the first place but she keep me. The world have stopped and it's my wake up call.
My mom has a heart disease.
"Kasalanan mo pag ako namatay" she was always telling me this words and it sucks a big time.
I was just the unwanted worthless child that nobody wants.
I want to end myself.

2024.05.19 11:53 Antibot_One My Cyberpunk City Factions
Greetings, citizens! I'm a writer, mostly freelance, but I've been working on my own setting for a while now. I've already described some of the basics of how my world is organized in the two posts on another subreddit, so I won't repeat them unnecessarily. Long story short: this is an alternate world that has deposits of metastable metallic hydrogen, concentrated at deep waters and in cold regions. Hydrogen, instead of oil, is the basis of the world's economy here, the corporations that have grown from its extraction and use have more power than governments. The political map of the world is different from our own, with different forces at play than we are used to.
The main setting is the city of Neone, located somewhere on the coast of the Balkan Peninsula. I won't specify a particular place or pick a certain country for its location. Instead, I will take some features from some various ones to add local flavor. As one of the largest trading hubs in the world, this city is very wealthy, but it's the kind of wealth that easily slips through your fingers. Everything is buying and selling here, and human life is just as much a bargaining chip. Life in Neone is determined by the actions that the Players, the main political forces in the city, take with one another. Relations between them can swing from friendship to hostility... Or sometimes a combination of both at the same time. So, here's a preliminary list of the ones I've already come up with:
CORPORATIONS:
Astara Industries is the “beauty industry” in all its forms. Silk and gold, perfume and cosmetics. Modeling, music, entertainment, plastic surgery, and escort services. Rumored to be involved in much darker affairs, but that doesn't stop a lot of young guys and especially girls from trying their luck and signing another cabal contract with Astara. The higher the ranks of their employees, the more the corporation seems to be a kind of cult that worships the very idea of beauty itself. Recently, this company has been investing colossal amounts of money into an ambitious project designed to stop aging and mortality.
Change Inc. is a pretty mysterious organization that primarily provides construction and design services as well as financial operations and data protection services. On deeper layers lies espionage and information trading to anyone who can offer a more interesting price for it.
Chapek's Clockworks is the other major robotics company that has dominated the market for quite a while. Now they are more famous for their retro designs and sponsorship of the theatrical scene.
Chimera Chemicals is a biochemical giant that once started out as a fertilizer manufacturer. Now they deal in just about everything chemical related, including weapons, and also sponsor gene modifications.
Dragonfruit Digital is a world famous software and electronics developer that was leading the market before the rapid... well, rise of Risen Robotics.
Friture Science is a food concern dedicated to the mission of feeding the world. In addition to natural products, they develop synthetic ones as well as a number of associated products.
Fortuna Fishing - seafood production in Neone coastal waters and also beyond and deeper. Some of the things they found deep in the waters made them a little bit... Well, superstitious.
Greenfield Gardens - Similar in many ways to the previous one, this company focuses on environmental protection and recycling methods. Owns many farms and gardens in the city and beyond. Genetic modifications, too.
Hecate Guaranty is a law and insurance company. Deals with all possible disputes of their clients, property issues, and more. When required and paid decently, can provide a person or group of people a new life and a new home.
International Inc. is the most boring company in the world. Originally a construction contractor they pioneered the technology of rapid modular building. Because of this, International Inc. quickly built up capital and influence by rebuilding cities after wars. Eventually they expanded into selling associated products and services, then logistics, recruiting personnel... And now International Inc. provides half of the world's products. Each of their products is completely featureless, but they get the job done at an acceptable price.
Keller & Crow is one of Europe's largest arms manufacturers, dating back to World War I, or maybe even earlier. Known for their high quality and appropriate prices.
Keller-Tec is, in more than one sense, a daughter corporation of Keller & Crow. It develops the most cutting-edge custom weapon and gear systems. It works closely with Risen Robotics and actively funds the Fountain of Good.
Kiki Courier Company is a network of independent couriers working through the app. Moving around the roofs of Neone, they are able to deliver a small cargo personally in their hands for those who don't trust big companies.
Matsubayashi Motors is a Japanese vehicle manufacturer. Raised on defense contracts, they now make anything that can carry a human in it, from scooters and cars to aircraft and bolides.
MOLOT manufactures is another major arms manufacturer in Europe. In fact a franchise that sells to factories around the world the rights to produce copies of their world famous models. Their designs are a bit crude, but reliable and durable.
Poseidon's Possibilities - A marine transportation company that plays an important role in city and global shipping. Considering the high risk of piracy, possess pretty good assets to protect themselves, and sometimes execute third-party orders in coastal zones.
Risen Robotics is one of the world's important corporations. Creating innovative neural chip technology, Risen Robotics quickly earned financial and political capital and aiming for more. They were the first to commercialize a truly cheap and mass-produced android called the Peacebringer, and these robots can be seen in the military, security companies, and even as security guards in the market and malls and as bouncers in nightclubs. Building its influence, Risen Robotics aims to actively bring its tech into the lives of everyone in the world... And then their gaze will be directed higher into the skies and to the stars.
Royal Arms - Once a major weapons company, they are now more focused on the civilian market and support tools. Their high-precision tools and cybernetic limbs are widely used in civilian and military markets, as well as the medicine and even space industries.
Strigoi Sovereign is a company with a long history of working with private customers. They originally focused on hunting and harvesting of high-value resources, but gradually expanded. Nowadays, they are known for their customized combat enhancements, whether it be tough training and gear customization as well as biological, chemical, and cybernetic enhancements. Among all forms of payment, they prefer transactions in precious metals.
Van Nueve Innovations is another deep genetic research company. After their role in human trafficking and criminal experiments was revealed, their assets were mostly shut and sold down. Now their stuff keeps popping up on the black market - though, in this city, the difference between the regular and black market is barely noticeable.
Vulcan Weaponry is another firearm company with a long history, with a good reputation for their trusted builds, high quality and classy designs. Among the mercenary world, their weapons and equipment is considered indicators of prestige and good taste.
PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES:
Deepwater is a notorious American PMC with a well-deserved dirty reputation. Their Sigma division deployed in Neone has been caught in the middle of scandals more than once.
FIREBIЯD - Russian PMC, looking after order in and around Neone. Having a small size they are all carefully selected by their leader and follow him into both fire and water.
Ryujin - Japanese PMC, which has a good social image and actively finances all kinds of entertainment.
Schwarzwald is a German PMC with a long-standing reputation and connections. It usually works for the benefit of Western European clients and has a long history of cooperation with the Keller family.
Keller's Claws is a passion project of Alex Keller, CEO of Keller-Tec. A small and elite female PMC, operating in the interests of their mistress or executing carefully selected contracts around the world.
This is not all PMCs in the city, but only those that are not directly linked to specific corporations that were listed above.
GANGS:
The Blazer is a broad and diverse group of radical anarchists. They are mostly drawn to the destruction of corporate property and speculation about “power of the people”, but some of their members are not averse to almost any type of work.
The Crooked Circle is another cult-like gang, or vice versa. They focus on collecting unique technology, but aren't particularly successful at it. But they're still alive and kicking, praying that their mechanical messiah will save them.
The Grey Court Syndicate is the largest criminal organization in the city, and one of the largest in Europe, maybe even in the entire world. Reminiscent of the classic Mafia. On one side they have the exterior gloss, protecting order and running legal businesses, but on the other side they have human and organ trafficking, prostitution and assassinations for hire. The Grey Court is one of the main sources of migrants in Neone.
The Himmelreich is a disorganized gang fighting for the “purity of humanity”. They oppose the very fact of existence of chimeras and cyborgs in this world. In fact are useful fools for the real Players in the city.
The Tulips are something between a gang and a religious sect. Spoken with Christian-like mottos, they attract beggars and cripples to their ranks, especially focusing on PMC veterans and former corporate workers, but in fact they accept all the desperate. They have squatted some ruins on the outskirts of the city, including the abandoned greenhouse that gave them their name. However... They are rapidly expanding their influence and their source of funding remains unknown.
OTHERS:
The City Council is the primary administration of the city. They manage, but they don't reign. They are a handful of exhausted clerks, doing the hard work that no one else accepted to do. Basically maintain the city's communications and keep the Players away from killing each other and too many ordinary citizens.
The Forge is a secret organization that exists for a very long time and runs deeply secured operations all over the world. They believe it's their duty to protect humanity from dangerous ideas, technologies, and obscure subjects such as [UNKNOWN]. Forge is often found to be a puppeteer, directing the actions of other Players or certain individuals.
The Fountain of Good is a globally respected charity organization primarily focused on orphanages. One of the few Players who maintains truly bright ideals. The children who grow up usually become corporate employees afterwards. Other Players fund them mainly to launder money, calm their karma and create a positive public image for themselves.
The Nuevians are a deep-covered organization slowly gaining influence in the city. They are led by an artificially created living entity known only as "The Queen" that seeks to bring prosperity to the planet. They have good intentions, but fear to repeat the fate of the Zero Cycle.
The Union of Nations Peacekeepers - maintaining a shred of peace in the aftermath of the Incident, a massive earthquake that recently struck Neone. Many urban areas have since descended into chaos and lawlessness, while others live as if nothing has happened or are experiencing minimal inconvenience. The competency of these soldiers is questionable and they are barely supplied.
The Volunteer Vanguards are an organization that maintains order in those Neone districts where the City Council or other Players do not. Generally a barely trained and armed militia, but there are some skilled veterans and former corporate workers in their ranks.
The Workers Ring is Neone's major blue collar association. They support city communications so they have a lot of influence. Individual members may or may not be involved in working for other Players and illegal activities. The second meaning of the "Ring" word is also utilized - many members of this community are known for their passion for arena fighting.
The Zero Cycle is a secret organization of intelligent machines once created by a rogue AI. Several Players united to destroy this threat, leading to the Incident. Now, shards of the Cycle's technology, superior to anything created by humanity, is the most valuable hunting treasure in Neone. Owning one of them means risking the lives of yourself and your loved ones, but that rarely stops hunters who desire wealth or driven by some personal reasons.
Well, that's the draft. Any ideas, suggestions, any other feedback?

The main setting is the city of Neone, located somewhere on the coast of the Balkan Peninsula. I won't specify a particular place or pick a certain country for its location. Instead, I will take some features from some various ones to add local flavor. As one of the largest trading hubs in the world, this city is very wealthy, but it's the kind of wealth that easily slips through your fingers. Everything is buying and selling here, and human life is just as much a bargaining chip. Life in Neone is determined by the actions that the Players, the main political forces in the city, take with one another. Relations between them can swing from friendship to hostility... Or sometimes a combination of both at the same time. So, here's a preliminary list of the ones I've already come up with:

2024.05.19 11:51 Freak-1 Volunteering on Zooniverse
Hello,
So my younger brother is a high school student and is now volunteering for Zooniverse.
I wanted to know if the volunteer hours at Zooniverse are worth mentioning in his uni applications. And is it possible to certify his work?

2024.05.19 11:50 Personal_Tension3227 I dreamt of two old classmates that had nothing to do with eachother in the weirdest way possible.
The dream starts with me, working at my mother's café when the mother of an old classmate shows up. She doesn't look like her, she has the face of someone else. It doesn't matter anyways, if the dream says that she's that classmate's mother then that's who she is. We start talking a little bit, I can't remember about what exactly, and after a little while the said classmate arrives as well (I'll call her Fay to make things easier). Another wrong face, and yet I recognise her as her. We leave her mother at the café and we walk around the village as we start talking about random stuff. She's way too friendly with me and I am too friendly with her, in the real world our relationship was terrible. During our talk I ask her about how are things going with one of our old classmates (I'll call him Liam, also little note he used to be my biggest crush back in high school). Her friendly attitude fades and she tells me something like "I'll come back later wait" and she leaves. I wait for her and since she's not coming back I go to one of the village's taverns where I find her mother and she says "oh she left lol" as if everything's okay.
Idk how much time later, Fay comes over again while I'm having coffee with my two best friends. She says"hi" and we leave the café to go and have coffee all together at the balcony of a random house. We talk about how things where in the past and naturally the convo goes to our other old classmates as well. Same question comes over about Liam and guess what, she leaves again. Again I go to her mother (why not follow Fay herself lmao?) and she tells me that she's with some of her friends.
Magically I know where she is and I find her inside a red pickup truck on the road right under the house which's balcony we were having coffee. The red truck is surrounded by like 3 or 4 people that idk nor do I talk to. They seem to not care about my classmate, who is literally crying in the truck. Immediately I come close to her from the open window, and ask her why she's crying. She tells me the name of Liam and then says "(my name) you have been living in your little world for too much you can't understand". I tell her that I can understand as long as she explains to me what happened. I can't remember the convo exactly but it was about how Liam raped her(???) and then tangled her up in some mafia type of shit and now his men are hunting her (???). Somehow I convinced her that I can protect her and that she needs to trust me.
That same night we meet on the same road. The moment I look at her she magically transforms into an orange cat (I've been associating her with cats since forever irl so it makes sense ig) and hides in a nearby house (that doesn't exist irl). I follow her as I climb it's stairs to the house's doorstep. I look around in the dark in alert waiting to attack. And... A little kid passes by (she's my cousin ik her). She spots me immediately and looks at me smiling. It's a dream so I'm incapable of making some movements and when I try to tell her to leave nor my voice nor my body work. All of a sudden a big man shows up, like one of those fat stereotypical npcs, dressed in black and comes my way. My cousin disappears, and I attack him. Somehow I managed to kill him after using some dark energy or something like that. I open the door where my classmate was hiding and I tell her something about the dude. She thanks me and I go back to inspect the dead body. He has almost nothing on him other than one of those devices that bodyguards put on their ears. I take it. I then go to my grandma's house which is close and open the door (Nobody is in the house). I open the TV for some reason and all the lights. I start inspecting the device the man had on him. Somehow I understand that it's also a tracking device so I do the VERY logical thing and... Throw it out of the window.
A little while later a car shows up outside the house. I immediately start closing all the lights but for some reason I struggle to close the TV off. Oh and the door is open. Two men dressed in black show up and after them is Liam. He smiles at me and somehow I know without him telling me anything that he's not suspecting me of murdering one of his men, since I'm "the stupid kid who lives in her own world". I've forgotten most of this part since it's close to the end of the dream but he's inspecting my grandma's house while he talks to me as if I'm some dumb kid. I act dumb so he doesn't see under my facade and the dream ends here.

2024.05.19 11:49 Material-Republic757 I stole and did weird stuff to my teacher's shoes and heels.
I am not disclosing any information about me, If any of my family or friends find out about what I do and did they wouldn't see me as the person they used to.
I'm in highschool and I have a foot fetish, Back in 8th grade I had a hot teacher who wore spandex leggings and very sexy high heels with red bottom soles along with platforms, I developed a foot fetish at that time so I constantly fantasized about sniffing and licking her feet and soles, It was a hot and sunny day, the school day had ended and I was waiting for the service in our classroom, I noticed that our advisor recently switched into slippers and asked our math teacher if he wanted to get lunch outside, I was staring at her high heels and imagining what it would taste and smell like, After I told my friends I would head out in a bit my advisor also had went out for lunch, When I was all alone in the classroom I approached my teacher's high heels and deeply sniffed into their insoles, The smell was like heaven, I had immediately gotten hard and kept sniffing and smelling the inside of her soles, I whipped my thing out and started jacking while sniffing and licking the inside of her smelly and sweaty high heels, It went on for minutes until I came inside her heels, I didn't clean up and left the classroom quickly, From that experience I can say it was my favorite moment of 8th grade, Fast foward to weeks after that I kept doing it and I was eventually caught not for the heels but for me jacking off, I had gotten in no trouble but from then on I was really careful with my steps.
Now onto the next grade, We were transferred into a high story building and our classroom was below the teacher's room, It was mostly unlocked after school ended so I went up to their room and looked around for shoes, I locked my eyes onto my advisor's same pair of heels and went ahead and did things to it, Even sucking water off the insoles in hopes of getting her sweat from her feet.
I stole some shoes to jack off to at home and to sniff, I had stolen my advisor's slippers and her feet were engraved into the slippers insoles, It was like heaven for me, I wanted to get another pair but they noticed and locked the doors from students.
Tldr: I had sniffed my teachers heels who I had a crush on and got obsessed enough to move my fetish into the next grade.

Clear, Strong and Open. That is how i describe the sound coming out of it trough my JBL Control One speaker set. I can not complain one bit. For a somwhat lower to midrange amp i am blown away.
What kind of music it does well with: Pretty much anything. Im not liying. Acoustic, Orchestra, Rock, etc it does make it feel alive and the louder you go the more it shines. Using the direct source mode it only amplifies and coming from my AE-9 without any EQ. Listening to Lofi Hip-Hop it goes surprisingly deep and without making it muddy. Mids and highs are clear but not sparkling making for an easy and comfortable listening experience (for me).
I have gone rather high up with the volume and i cannot notice any degredation or hear any distortion. Listening to my favourites i did sometimes think it was distorting but that was actually the music itself. Additionally i only hear a little white noise when nothing is playing which is nice. (at highest volume)
For around 100€ (similar in dollar) It is a perfect budget amp that can bring a lot of joy. it is rated 2x50 at 4ohm and 2x35 at 8ohm both dynamic Source: https://www.hifi-wiki.de 2 × 42 watts, channel 1 + 2 at 8 Ohm and 2 × 63 watts, channel 1 + 2 at 4 Ohm at up to 1% distortion. Source: https://amp-performance.de
Id like to hear your experience with it and the other amps from that series as there is relatively little to be found online.

2024.05.19 11:48 An_old_walrus What kind of music would Godzilla listen to?
 | For some reason my brain says Godzilla would listen to Ray Charles, idk why it just seems fitting to imagine him just vibing to Hit the road Jack. I feel like Godzilla would listen to old school music thought I guess that depends on which version. Maybe Showa just likes traditional Japanese music. submitted by An_old_walrus to GODZILLA [link] [comments] |

2024.05.19 11:38 skatecyclelee Help remembering a webtoon.
I've been racking my brain trying to remember a series I read part of a bit ago and I can't figure out what it is. It was a teenage spy series where the main characters are recruited out of high school for a spy school. I remember the main team was 3 girls who were all sisters and they were each of a different personality type labeled with Greek letters (alphas were leaders, I don't remember what the other letters signified). I've looked through my history a few times but I can't seem to find it.

2024.05.19 11:36 Frhmxd Phlebotomist
Hey yall
Im currently in my last year of high school who did not take any science classes like biology and chem in level 2 and 3. This was because I thought i was better off becoming a teacher so i didnt think to take any science courses (WHICH I HEAVILY REGRET EVERYDAY). Js weeks ago i came to the realisation that becoming a teacher is not the right path for me and after researching for potential careers i came across Phlebotomy. Read through everything and actually found myself being quite passionate of the idea of becoming a phlebotomist. Now, i read through their requirements for secondary education and found that “there are no specific secondary education requirements to become a phlebotomist, however, biology, chemistry, health, physics and maths are useful”. Ive taken health studies and maths since lvl 2 but not any of the sciences i have mentioned. To those who understand where i am coming from, do you think its possible for me to become a phlebotomist? Ofc ill take foundation courses and some programs that unis offer but is it possible? To the phlebotomists in Nz, how difficult is the job? Does it pay well? Is the job worth it? Are there things that i should be aware of if i were to be a phlebotomist in the near future?
Thank you all for reading. If there are some other professions that is similar to phlebotomy then please let me know:) !

2024.05.19 11:36 TheFourthReichRises Need Advice (Dating)
To start off I (18M)(On the spectrum) have zero clue how dating works, how to start talking to people, how to catch peoples interest, how to keep interest, or anything in that realm. This stuff is alien to me and it seems to normal to other people around me. I’m in college now, I have no friends, and am an introvert. I have no connections, I don’t drink/smoke/party (From the U.S.) and have no way of even socializing to even reach a point of at least a talking stage.
When I have been with people (Sexually) (I haven’t dated in 4 years), all of it feels so foreign, it feels weird and uncomfortable and feels like I’m putting on a show. It never feels weird, I just try to repeat what I see other people doing, then again that’s what most of my social experiences feel like really.
I’ve been on dating apps and they’re hopeless, had two dates and one hookup over the course of 9 months, so that is just not a good idea there. I’m out of options because soon my only source of social interaction will be strictly online.
I’m aware I’m an issue and my behavior such as how I talk, walk, text, or act are all strange. I text too much, I put in too much effort when I do get to talking, I’m so non busy that I have no reason to not respond type of stuff.
I dated a girl once in 9th grade for a few months if you can call it dating. That was by luck just because she just so happened to be as weird as me and doing that same stuff I was. High school is long over and so is my forced social interaction. I won’t be back to classes for a few months, so for the time being I really will be fucked.
I hear of people meeting their partners through friends, hobbies, bars, parties, online, jobs, etc. But none of those seem plausible to work for me. I have no physical hobbies, I have no friends, I’m unemployed, I can’t go to bars, I don’t party, and all of the above. And no I don’t want to do parties or drinking or any of that, I will live my life sober for personal reasons. Even with that, nobody has even made one attempt at random conversation with me at college since august.
People say I’m weird looking, call me too skinny, say I should work out, some will blatantly call me ugly. People usually don’t take a second glance at me, I am just the middest dude in my area ig.
I know my issue with this stuff is due to my Personality, Looks, and social manners, but I don’t know how to change that and I don’t want to have to change myself completely to just be have a companion. Couldn’t life just be a little more forgiving?
I just ask what the hell do I do here?

2024.05.19 11:32 gameman4th My thoughts on Season 3 of goodgirls
I don’t know if it was just me but i loved season 3 where beth realizes it’s getting serious and not the easy way anymore especially when scenes just felt different like just never ok and not the same anymore. When everyone saw the editer girl get killed and suddenly the mood changed throughout the show or when the background music for example on season three episode 8 when boomer is being taken to the parking lot to give to rio it feel ominous and intense. idk if anyone could relate i’m over writing because i’m high so #highthoughts

2024.05.19 11:31 Nearby-Revolution229 why do I self sabotage on purpose?
so I'm a pretty young guy and there's a lot of younger people at my workplace who are very cool people. I wouldn't say I've struggled to make friends, but a lot of bad things have happened to me and now I have a lot of internalized homophobia/act more fiscally conservative than I am because of what I went through in high school, and I have trouble talking to people. It actually really hurts when I see people so confident in themselves and I picture an older version of my younger self with them instead of that person turning into me. it feels like that person died and I lost something. But that line of thinking makes me suicidal so I try to dismiss it as my brain playing tricks on me.
Anyway, with that context out of the way, here's what this post is about. I don't hate myself. I'm solitary and anxious, but I do love myself. It's almost like I see me and myself as a team lol. so I don't truly believe that people hate me. But thinking about befriending these cool people at work, I keep telling myself they hate me. Like I picture a scenario in my head where they sneer at me and say really viscous and hurtful shit to me if I tried to talk to them. I don't believe that's what's going to happen. But it's like I'm making a conscious choice to pretend that it is. Like I'm playing a little game with myself. And it hurts a lot. it makes me want to cry.
Another example. There is a pretty cool girl at my work who I want to talk to. She has not explicitly approached me and said "I think you're cool and I want to be friends", which for me is the minimum it would take for me to even consider opening up to her. But if I put myself in her shoes, that's asking a lot. And logically, I'm pretty sure she wants to be my friend. she's started conversations with me a few times. I'm not psychic but I'm assuming. But because she hasn't given me explicit confirmation, I tell myself that she thinks I have an obsession with her and that she's extremely uncomfortable around me, so I try to avoid her. I don't even look at her. Not in a rude way or in a way that's trying to manipulate her, but just staying out of her way. Honestly maybe she does think I'm weird at this point because I've acted this way. But that doesn't make me feel embarrassed. It just makes me sad but vindicated.
So why do I do this to myself? I say it's a choice I'm making, but it's probably closer to an intrusive thought that takes over. It just feels like I choose it a little bit. Am I scared of rejection? Do I want control? Is it childhood trauma? Id even just appreciate if someone relates to this without a solution.
I can't just make the choice to stop feeling bad for myself or whatever because this always pops up when something good might happen for me, and I do believe I deserve good things. But when it's in real life, that happens and I'm really mean to myself in my head about it.

2024.05.19 11:31 Significant-Tower146 Best Carhartt Balaclava

It's time to get warm and cozy with this versatile piece of outdoor gear. In this roundup, we'll be exploring the top choices for balaclavas to help you find the perfect fit for your needs. The Top 14 Best Carhartt Balaclava
Reviews🔗Carhartt WIP Storm Chunky-Knit Balaclava - Blackhttps://preview.redd.it/ucekphr2rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c28712cf6dce32e8a29ca75f756672d173657a17 Wearing the Carhartt WIP Storm chunky-knit balaclava in black made me feel like a cool-weather, street-smart daredevil. I'd step out into the frost, ready to conquer the biting cold with this stylish companion on my face. The chunky knit felt soft, keeping me cozy as I braved the winter's icy winds. But what made this balaclava really stand out was the signature box logo on the front. It added a touch of edginess to my everyday look, turning heads wherever I went. But, there was one minor downside - the face opening was slightly more generous than I would have liked. When the wind picked up, or I took a sharp turn, some cold air still found its way in. Overall, though, this balaclava kept me toasty while adding a bit of panache to my style, making it worth the investment. 🔗Carhartt Black Cotton Face Gaiter with Filter Pockethttps://preview.redd.it/vfqmwyh3rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=763c698bc503638fa8abe0ddc5c75abb4e11f1f0 I've been using the Carhartt Black Cotton Gaiter with Filter Pocket for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has been a lifesaver during these pandemic times. As someone who needs to wear a mask at work, I was initially apprehensive about how comfortable the gaiter would be, but boy, was I pleasantly surprised! First off, the fit is just right. It's adjustable, so it's easy to pull it tighter or looser depending on how you want to wear it. The one size fits most, so it's a great option for those who want a gaiter that can adapt to different head sizes without sacrificing comfort. But what really stood out to me is the filter pocket. It's designed to accommodate a filter, and I found that it actually works quite well. With just a small piece of filter, the gaiter provides a great level of protection without feeling too claustrophobic or uncomfortable. However, there were a couple of things that I wasn't particularly fond of. First, the stitching seemed a bit flimsy at times. I had to be extra careful when washing it to avoid any unraveling, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, though, it held up pretty well despite its slightly weak stitching. The other downside was that it wasn't as easy to get on and off as some other gaiters I've tried. It took a bit of fumbling around to get the elastic cord to secure itself properly, which was a bit of a hassle. Despite these minor issues, I still highly recommend the Carhartt Black Cotton Gaiter with Filter Pocket. It's comfortable, effective, and a great option for anyone looking for a reliable mask alternative during these challenging times. 🔗Carhartt Force Mask: Fast-Dry Winter Balaclavahttps://preview.redd.it/8taciqm3rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afed3ca32fa711fc68e2a9dfbdee8330c7109920 I've been using the Carhartt Men's Force Helmet Liner Mask for a while now, and it has been a game-changer during my outdoor adventures. The full-face protection that extends below the neckline is a fantastic feature, as it shields me from the biting cold and howling winds. I particularly love the face mask, which can be tucked under the chin when not in use. One of the highlights is the Carhartt Force fabric with Fast Dry technology, which wicks away sweat for added comfort, even during heavy activity. This is perfect for someone like me who tends to sweat a lot during my adventures. The interior of the mask feels incredibly soft and cozy, thanks to the fleeced material. However, there are a few cons to this product as well. First, the mask can get a bit rank due to my persistent breathing through it. I've ended up washing it a hundred times or more and it still shows very little wear. Another feature that could be improved is the neckline. If it were two inches longer, it would provide better coverage and feel even more comfortable. Overall, the Carhartt Men's Force Helmet Liner Mask has been a crucial addition to my wardrobe for those cold outdoor days. It strikes a perfect balance between comfort and functionality, although there is always room for improvement. 🔗Carhartt WIP Black Mission Balaclavahttps://preview.redd.it/b87skly3rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=169b7ad4f9f639775f4ec1319d589988bd6c3b9a Ever find yourself shivering in the chilly outdoors, needing something to keep your face warm without blocking your view of the world? That's where the Carhartt WIP Mission Mask comes in. Made of 100% polyester with a thickness of 220g/m², this mask effortlessly covers your head, face, and neck. The best part? It lets you see the world around you without obstruction. Now, let's talk about the pros. The polyester material is durable and comfortable, perfect for a range of activities from hiking to city exploration. The mask itself is a solid black, giving it a sleek and modern look, which can blend in most outdoor settings. The military label adds an element of ruggedness, perfect for those outdoor enthusiasts. However, there are a few cons to mention. While the mask effectively keeps the chill at bay, the 39 cm height might not be enough for those with a taller stature. Also, some users might find it slightly heavy on the face over extended periods. Overall, the Carhartt WIP Mission Mask is a reliable and fashionable solution for those looking to withstand the cold without compromising their view. Just remember, it's primarily designed for cooler weather, so you might want to opt for another solution in extreme-cold situations. 🔗Carhartt Flame-Resistant Force Balaclava for Comfort and Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/jzqa4fg4rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfbbf328251fb7ad19761a050d9bea5b5f2d9f26 The Carhartt Flame-Resistant Balaclava proved to be a reliable companion on chilly days at work. I loved the full face coverage that extended below the neck. The FastDry technology kept me comfortable throughout the day as the sweat was wicked away, and I felt cool despite the heavy tasks on hand. I appreciated the force technology that pulled the mask down below my chin when needed. However, the drawback of this balaclava was its thickness - it was not as ample warmth on my face as my expectations. Despite this, I would recommend it for those who prioritize comfort and functionality while working in risky environments. 🔗Stay Warm in Extreme Conditions with Carhartt's Fast-Dry Helmet Liner Maskhttps://preview.redd.it/v0h7dfr4rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9770ea30cf71da1711bc574bb4e03ffaeeaa8063 The Carhartt Men's Force Helmet Liner Mask is a reliable companion for those harsh, freezing days. Just like the name suggests, it really does force out the chill. It's a bit like a superhero cape for your neck - you can tuck it into your clothing or wear it loose, and it's always ready to deploy when the winds come howling. The face mask has a nice feature that pulls down under the chin when not in use. It's a little bit like a superhero who can change shapes - it turns from a full-facial protection into a handy scarf for your winter stroll. When it comes to comfort, it uses technology that's akin to a superhero's invisibility cloak. The material wicks away sweat, keeping you dry and cozy. The mask is made from a blend of fabric that's more like a superhero's suit than a simple piece of cloth. It's made from 88% polyester and 12% spandex. This strong blend ensures the mask fits snugly without feeling too tight, and it makes it durable enough to last through many winters. There's a thing about this mask which reminds me of Batman's utility belt - it's full of surprises. It has a full-facial protection that extends below the neckline, which ensures that no icy wind will catch you off guard. And for those times when a little extra chin protection is needed, it has a nifty feature that can pull the front end up, but it still allows enough breathing room. The material is quite breathable but remember, it’s not designed or medically certified to stop airborne disease or protect from viruses. However, it does a commendable job of keeping out dust during winter, which is a relief when you're working in an environment that's full of dusty snow drifts. The design of the mask is simple yet effective. Its quick-dry technology, the antimicrobial finish, and its flat-seam construction all make it an excellent choice in a pinch. Just like a trusty sidekick or a sleek racecar, its one size fits most, and it can be easily washed. The face mask will fit perfectly snug under a helmet, providing extra warmth. The material is quite breathable, but it can get a bit rank from your own breathing, especially after a long workday. But, it shows very little wear after many washes. However, one thing to note is that you won't be stopping an actual criminal with this mask, it’s not designed or medically rated to provide protection from viruses or airborne disease. So, while it may not be a James Bond-style gadget, it's still a pretty decent investment for a warmer, comfier winter experience. This Carhartt Balaclava isn’t just a protective gear; it’s like a superhero's secret weapon that you can tuck under your shirt during those cold and harsh winter days. It’s like wearing a little bit of warmth right under your nose while you go about your day. 🔗Cozy Carhartt Balaclava for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/esaefni5rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b85f915ed468c58757ea3eb2bec49ae349426c9a I recently had the opportunity to test out the Carhartt WIP Remi Hood Balaclava, and I'm excited to share my experience with all of you. I decided to give it a try as a versatile piece of clothing to keep me warm during those chilly outdoor activities. The very first thing I noticed when I opened the package was the high-quality materials used to create this hood. At 100% acrylic and 5-gauge, it certainly felt luxurious to the touch. It's a great choice for those cold days and nights out. In terms of its design, the Remi Hood delivers a minimalist, yet sleek look. I particularly loved the script logo on the hood, which added a touch of elegance without being too overpowering. The soft acrylic backdrop made it incredibly comfortable to wear, and it fit perfectly despite only having one size. Despite being so comfortable, I couldn't help but notice the occasional itchiness from the acrylic material. However, this trade-off was well worth the overall warmth and comfort the Remi Hood provided. Overall, I highly recommend the Carhartt WIP Remi Hood Balaclava for anyone looking for a practical, stylish, and comfortable way to stay warm during those chilly outdoor adventures. 🔗Carhartt Balaclava: Durable Rib-Knit Insulated Face Maskhttps://preview.redd.it/gj9lfir5rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7e7d6656d46b2b43307d3dfded31d30cdcfbe9d I recently had the chance to try out the Carhartt Black Knit Insulated Face Mask, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer when it comes to staying warm in cold weather. The highlight of this face mask is its long neck, which provides not only enhanced protection from chilly winds but also a greater sense of comfort and security. One of the things I appreciated most about this face mask is its acrylic rib-knit fabric. It offers just the right amount of insulation, keeping you cozy during those frigid winter days. The softness of the material also ensures that it's comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. However, there were a couple of drawbacks I noticed while using the mask. Firstly, the overlock stitching, which is designed to resist abrasion, can sometimes be a bit annoying as it tends to catch on clothing and other surfaces. Secondly, the mask can become quite wrinkled after washing, which may affect its overall appearance and effectiveness. Overall, the Carhartt Black Knit Insulated Face Mask is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, warm, and comfortable winter accessory. Its unique features and high-quality materials make it a standout option in the market, even if there are a few minor drawbacks to consider. 🔗Carhartt WIP Brown Balaclava for All Seasonshttps://preview.redd.it/id7fcmg6rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f45bce00e88e154dcb8aa4af22b574e0f9497442 I recently gave the Carhartt WIP Storm Mask a try, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for me during these chilly months. Made of a cozy, warm acrylic fabric, its comfort is unparalleled. The stretchy rib knit construction makes it fit like a glove, and the Carhartt WIP logo on the cuff gives it that classic touch.

Overall, it's a great tool to protect against the winter's harshness and make my commutes more enjoyable. 🔗Off-White Remi Balaclava by Carhartt WIP - Rib Knit, 100% Acrylic, 5 Gaugehttps://preview.redd.it/t8k4v1r6rc1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ec1401ffe1d9a8134fe08c6e476090ecf88f412 The Carhartt Work in Progress Off-White Remi Balaclava was a game-changer for my daily routine. As someone who's always on the go, the height of 36.5 cm was a perfect fit, allowing me to stay comfortable and protected. The 100% acrylic and 5-gauge material proved to be both durable and cozy. The label with the script logo added a touch of class to the overall design. However, the one downside was the balaclava's trim, which felt somewhat too tight and constricting.

The quilted-nylon lining provides warmth and comfort, while the three-piece hood construction and draw cord adjustable with cord lock allow for a perfect fit. Although I have faced some difficulty with the triple-stitched main seams coming undone after a few months, overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.

However, the snaps on the hood may not align perfectly with the coat, causing a minor inconvenience.

The headwear not only provides adequate warmth but also offers excellent protection from the elements. The 2 in 1 design, with a pull-down face mask, truly makes this product stand out. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Carhartt Camo Fleece Headwear is its FastDry technology. This feature really comes in handy when I'm out in the cold for extended periods, as it ensures my face mask dries promptly after use, maintaining its effectiveness. The fact that the mask can be tucked up into the hat when not in use is a simple yet effective design that adds convenience. The Carhartt leatherette label sewn on the front is a thoughtful touch that adds a certain elegance and authenticity to the headwear. It makes the product stand out from others in the market, giving it a unique identity. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks with this product. While I appreciated the face mask, it could have been slightly longer to ensure better coverage and tuck-in capabilities. Additionally, I found that the fit around the ears could be slightly better, as I experienced some slippage with my current headwear size. Overall, the Carhartt Camo Fleece 2 in 1 Headwear combines comfort and protection in one convenient package.

With the ear flaps and pull-down face mask, I felt like I had complete control over my level of warmth. As one reviewer mentioned, the hat really delivers warmth during the coldest of winter days, and it's perfect for when you need that extra protection.

Firstly, the size seemed to be a bit small, especially for those with larger heads or those who wear glasses, as mentioned by some users. While it was a small issue for some, others reported having cold necks when using the headwear. Lastly, the face mask was not detachable, even though it's very useful in cold weather. This made it a bit inconvenient for wearing while engaged in lighter activities, like working around the house. Overall, I found this product to be a really useful tool for the unpredictable winter weather.
