2023.06.06 19:03 SubjectEducator4233 Still Seeking a Female Sublessee for Amazing Apartment near MSU Campus!

Hey again!
I previously posted about a fantastic apartment in Cedar Village near MSU's campus, and I'm still searching for a female sublessee to join this convenient and comfortable living space. If you or someone you know is looking for a great place to call home, keep reading!
Apartment Details:
Location: Cedar Village, quite literally on campus right next to CATA
Bedrooms: 2
Bathrooms: 1
Amenities: The apartment offers essential appliances, including a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and in-unit laundry facilities. You'll also enjoy ample closet space, a cozy living area, and your own parking spot (one per bedroom!). The main building has a gym and a couple of coffee machines too!
Why You'll Love It!!!!!
Proximity to Campus: You can sleep in a little longer and still make it to class on time since the apartment is so close to campus. No more rushing or long commutes!
CATA: Just a 5-minute walk away, you'll have easy access to all the buses on campus, making transportation a breeze.
Convenience: Grabbing a quick bite to eat, meeting up with friends for a study session, or attending campus events is a short walk away. Plus, Grand River is quite close by.
Community Vibe: Cedar Village is known for its vibrant and lively atmosphere, providing plenty of opportunities to meet fellow students and engage in social activities. It's an exciting place to be, especially after big games if that's something you enjoy!
About Me:
I am a responsible and friendly MSU student who will be moving out due to personal reasons. I understand the importance of finding a compatible sublessee, so I'm looking for a responsible and respectful female roommate who is committed to maintaining a clean and harmonious living environment. The current occupant is someone who I have lived with before, she is 19F and an amazing roommate as well as friend to have!
Sublease Details:
Lease Term: The apartment is available for sublease starting 8/26/23 until 8/13/24.
Rent: I will message you personally with more information if you are interested!
Roommate: You will be sharing the apartment with one other female roommate. I lived with her for a full school year, and she is incredible, very responsible. She would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you're interested or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via private message. I can provide more details, and help figure out a time for you to come and see the apartment in person via the main office.
Please note that any subleasing arrangements will be conducted in compliance with the apartment complex's policies and guidelines.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Go Green!

2023.06.06 18:38 lianne_tran Can someone decipher our failed first date?

He asked me out to drinks, we ended up going for dinner.
He took a day off for the day after our date night, and posted an insta post of his half naked body with a suggestive caption.
It was fun, he talked a lot and he paid for our dinner, then he invited me to his apartment.
I said I don't hook up and he was ok with it.
He tried kissing me 4 times and wanted to have sex but I refused and rejected him all.
I wanted to stay the night (without having sex) but he refused.
He said I give him blue balls and he ended the date after we watched a few episodes of netflix and said I should leave.
He said he won't chase and is seeing how things go. I'm pretty sure he's in his 20s and just want to sleep around.

I felt like shit after the date. He didn't walk me to the station or text me afterwards.
After I posted on instagram story for the first time after our date. He posted an instagram story for the first time at the gym lol.
How bad was the date? What is he feeling? Why won't he text me?

2023.06.06 17:31 Kadkata_the_Great Tips on climbing with Gwen and her role in the team.

https://u.gg/lol/profile/eun1/lmperatooverview
Hello, I am a Gwen main that recently hit Masters for first time playing on a 10 years old forgotten by the MMR gods account with abysmal LP win-lose ratio bringing it up from Bronze to Masters in 457 games with 57% WR overall and 62% WR on Gwen from 301 games. This post has few purposes:

BAD takes that you should not follow

Key concepts that you have to understand to make this playstyle work for you

Tricks that you might or might not be aware of:

Build

CORE ITEMS:

Riftmaker

Nashor's Tooth

Rabadon's Deathcap

I build in this order in >90% of my games. Go Nashor first if splitpushing is going to be completely uncontested. Start Doran's Ring unless its against a lot of poke in which case go Doran's Shield. Do not buy HP Pots, only buy refillable.

FOLLOW UP OPTIONS:

Cosmic Drive Good AP, CDR, speed. Frequent build after Rabadon.
Void Staff When more than a few enemies have MR items. Overall increses damage. %pen is strong. Frequent build after Rabadon.
Lich Bane Good for faster splitpushing or nuking their squishies with E->AUTO. I recommend as last buy or sell boots to buy this when you have enough gold at full build.
Shadowflame vs frequent shielding and squishier teams. Good AP ammount and pen. I would buy this against a fed ADC with enchanter support.
Zhonya's Hourglass vs fed AD assassins or generally AD heavy teams.
Morellonomicon vs teams with a lot of healing. I never build this.
Thornmail vs AD heavy teams that also have a lot of healing. Occassional purchase.
Randuin's Omen vs teams that have a lot of damage from critical strikes. Example: Yone top, Yasuo mid and Draven ADC.
Spirit Visage vs teams with a lot of AP damage and prolonged fights. I do not build.
Force of Nature vs teams with a lot of AP damage. Generally better than Spirit Visage.
Abyssal Mask Great cheap item vs a lot of AP damage and when you have 2-3 AP on yours.
There are other items that could work like Wit's End or Death's Dance but it is extremely rare that it would be a better choice than any of the items above.

BOOTS:

I have bought all boots on Gwen except mobility boots. It is very dependant on enemy champions and how ahead I am. Usually I buy Mercs into a lot of CC, Steelcaps into AD heavy teams and Lucidity boots if I am very ahead.

RUNES AND SUMMONER SPELLS:

These runes will be most useful to you in majority of games. Swap armor and MR runes depending on your matchup. Go Second Wind instead of Conditioning vs poke matchups like Teemo or Gangplank. I like to pick Bone Plating against burst champions like Pantheon or Renekton. I climbed from Bronze to Diamond without Demolish, but my climb would have been way easier if I went Demolish instead of Unflinching due to the extra plates it can secure. I take it every game now. Presence of Mind is unnecessary and Triumph enables you to fight multiple enemies easier. It also gives you 20g per takedown extra which at the end of the game if you had 15 takedowns ends up being 300g. In my many games playing Gwen I can recall only a few times I wished I got Presence of Mind over Triumph. If you are nearing 0 mana then shove wave and walk up in river to get green slime plant.
Teleport is too useful not to take every game. For second spell I go Ignite for most games. Take Ghost if the kill pressure on lane is small AND the rest of their team is very mobile/ranged, for example a Malphite top lane with Kalista Rakan botlane, Azir mid and Hecarim jungle. That is a comp that you pick Ghost against. If the enemy team doesn't have a lot of mobility or you have easy lane on top then you should take Ignite. Makes tower dives much easier.

NOTES:

I cheese my games. I play around my enemy's mental and abuse Gwen's strengths. The account I played on was hardstuck Gold for many seasons, sometimes ending in Silver. My mental is not strong, I ran it down many times out of spite towards a teammate. My average vision score is 2x lower than that of an average Iron player. Despite all this my climb was steady with the exception of spending a decent ammount of time and games in D1, because I relaxed too much in my games. My point is that if I manage to climb like this, so can you. Just follow the template each game:
If I think of something else I will add it in an edit.

2023.06.06 17:30 seperation_sadness How to move past separation for young married couple (20s)?

Hello everyone! I'm (20F) posting on behalf of my failed marriage mainly for advice moving on. I've pondered on posting to Divorce yet we're planning on staying legally married for now as the residence benefits were taken into account.
They officially ended things with me this past SAT 6/3/23 when I mentioned that I feel disconnected and felt like I didn't know what the point of being in a relationship with someone if you're still going to feel lonely despite understanding they're alright with being alone for many hours, maybe even days, without talking to me or anyone else because that's what they feel like. Things ended that night and later (6/5/23) I've found out that they were having sexual role play and romantic conversations with others which led to a formation of a relationship later in the night where I felt homicidal, suicidal, etc and overall worthless alone for a bit.
What type of support I'm looking for
Ideally people who've went through breakups including short-term and/or long-term separations including divorce and how you navigated that. I'm still navigating clicking on videos like 'manifest them back' and more yet I don't want to beg them to be into me life especially seeing as I've poured my heart out, cried, tried to talk more, etc.
Here were some of our recurring issues we had which spanned mental, emotional, financial, etc.
Financial
This spans their parents nagging us regarding money and now we're to a state of being able to pay them back and even help out as my father-in-law is in debt. I hate them for it. It didn't help for them to nag about money cause it not only made me feel stupid but doubtful of why I'm staying with a non-breading winning 'male' even though they brought more value into my life than money could ever dream of stating. We've stressed about money before and agreed on a 50/50 money share where me and them both receive a fixed-price weekly and the remainder goes to bills as the country we stay is pretty affordable and my rates accounting for the living costs and more as I'm the financial provider.
By principle I don't believe in coercive relationships and partially wanted financial independence for both of us cause I worried if they'd be here with the money as it felt like we changed as people.
I sometimes feel like I sold my soul for our survival and regret it not only for what it's done for my individually but interdependently to bring to the relationship as my anxiety and depression has worsened. I appreciate all that we've learned from each other.
Some things I've said recently during our relationship
Some things they've said recently during our of relationship
Something about me is that I need to be told the sugarcoated truth about things and they've spoken to me as such cause reality will seem a bit more real if it's spoken like that.
What we're feeling about the relationship
Some notable points about where we're at in this relationships
What this relationship left me insecure about
What type of attachment misalignment I'm going through here
I know other people are out there yet I don't want to love anyone else. They were special to me. Our history is still special to me as we're a former LDR couple. We were 'defeating the odds' and I'll always hate how we grew apart... what I played into it at least. Some things that scarred them would be our 2 physical fights (e.g. them slightly choking me and us mutually slapping each other) and countless other verbal fights.
I'm also dealing with the disappointing feelings I have in myself because I feel like I become a similar toxic version of my mother with all of the emotional instability and volatility. I know I haven't been keeping up with my mental health well besides just maintaining my states and not getting stressed. I honestly feel scared looking inside sometimes and after a bit I felt like, "I'm always needing to be improve something for you" and in the beginning it was shame-based yet felt like a memorable martyr in a sense cause I 'killed the go' for love despite it turning into rejection sensitivity and getting de-motivation cause I let myself double down.
THE POST SUMMARY
TLDR; Young married individual currently navigating an unrequited separation with actionable tips to minimize dwelling or depression if possible amidst still living together.
I'd hope we can get marriage counseling but have decided one of the best ways to radically split is to bear the pain without the idea of 'hope' getting in the way cause you might feel safe and not do it for the best reasons including chasing someone's external validation over your needed internal victories.
Earlier today I told my father-in-law how I was feeling through a piece of paper and some of it was translated including the online secrecy with romantic and sexual conversations, ignoring me most of the day, feeling unsure about staying here, etc. He justified it if it wasn't physical cheating yet don't agree with that as that's something you discuss with your partner before.
I know all of this sounds like pretty much a lot and why am I even wanting to stay but whatever advice you can give I'm willing to hear it. Just try to be considerate despite feeling like this is a 'stop' sign.

2023.06.06 17:26 NazzerDawk My cat died a month ago. I just found out why I'm still hearing him at night.

My cat was named Spiderman. He was a little cuddly jerk of a black cat, who hated everyone and everything except for me, my wife, my daughter, and my son. Even my son he was only just starting to warm up to.
Any cat owner knows that cats get up to all sorts of hi-jinks at night. Ours was no different: Spiderman would run around chasing imaginary mice, would jump onto high places just to leer at us, would rustle in any paper bags he found and would try to find cords to bite on if he could wake us up to tell us he was hungry or thirsty.
A few months back he started to "blep" constantly. By that, I mean he had his tongue sticking out all the time. We thought it was an issue breathing, but then found he had really bad periodontal disease that was hidden from view. The vet handled what they could, removing several teeth and amputating part of his jaw, but even after weeks of recovery, he only seemed to get worse.
By early May, he was spending most of his time just sitting still drooling into whatever surface he was laying on. It was clear he was in pain, but cats can't tell you what's going on, can they? The only time he ever seemed active was at night, when we'd find him suddenly energetic and back to his old habits, rustling things in the other room, even knocking over a plate onto the ground.
One day we found he just didn't want to eat anymore. After he went a full 24 hours not touching his food, we went back to the vet and they got him into an xray, finding a mass in his throat.
The mass would be more or less inoperable. While they could conceivably remove it, it would be expensive. And what's more, the operation could leave damage that they would need to address, but would need to talk to the patient to gather info about. Back to the problem of communication.
Ultimately, we had to take him to the vet to put him to rest. Now his ashes are in a little wooden box in his old cat house, up on a high place he liked to hang out.
The first few nights were the worst. I kept expecting to hear the sounds of him pitter-pattering around the hallway, maybe the sound of a glass of water being knocked over. Sometimes I could swear I was hearing those sounds again.
Last night was the worst. I just couldn't sleep. I kept on hearing those same old indications that he was around. A cardboard box being scooted around the floor. The sounds of scratching at our door.
I thought it must be just my imagination. I nudged my wife awake, she heard it too.
My next thought was that surely one of my kids must be up out of bed playing with stuff. I got up, ready to tell whichever kid to get back to bed.
Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. It wasn't one of my kids.
I got up just in time to see a short, thin old man rifling through a trashcan in the kitchen. I audibly gasped and it startled him. He looked at me, then ran, incredibly quickly, and escaped through the front door... locking the door behind him.
He had a key.
I have a single camera set up to record in my house. It's pointed at the sliding back door, but I can see the reflection of the entry way in the glass, just a little. I pulled up the footage and I found places where the camera detected motion and recorded, but I couldn't see what had triggered it. I had written these incidents off, but now I realize that the motion they saw was a small bit of reflection from the light outside my apartment spilling in as this man walked in and out almost every single night. For as far back as the recordings went.
Suddenly it hit me that I had various unexplained disappearances of household groceries for the past year. A can of corn here. A loaf of bread there.
This man had been entering my place with a key he had somehow acquired, wandering my home, where my kids sleep, and had been stealing food. Never anything valuable. Not my xbox. Not my laptop or tablet. Just food.
And all this time, I had assumed all the sounds I heard at night were my cat, running around and playing. All those times my cat woke me up meowing, and I would tell him to shut up, before eventually waking up cursing. All those times that he had food in his bowl, water in his dish, but was still meowing his head off.
I had assumed he was just an asshole of a cat. But cats can't tell you what's going on, can they?

2023.06.06 17:06 Z-24Osmium Landlord changes utility billing in breach of lease agreement?

Location: Indiana
Long post, trying to give all information, including communications and relevant contract sections.
In short our leasing agency recently announced their intent to switch utility (water, sewage, and trash) to a RUB (Ratio Utility Billing) system where each tenet will pay for utilities based on their use of said utilities. Previously we were paying a flat rate of $65/month for these utilities.

Relevant Communications

Email from Property Manager 6/5/23
Dear Valued Resident(s,)
We will be switching from billing a flat rate for utility services to using a RUBs system. Please read this letter carefully, to familiarize yourself with the upcoming changes and what to expect.
What is RUBs?
RUBs stands for Ratio Utility Billing. The system is used to calculate residents' monthly utility costs based on the actual utility bills.
Why switch from Flat Rate Billing to RUBs?
Using RUBs allows the company to ensure we are charging residents fairly. By using a flat rate billing system, there is no way to tell if residents are being billed correctly. Flat rate billing can result in residents being under or overcharged for their utilities.
What to Expect:
Residents receive monthly invoices for their total charges via email and mail.
The invoice will include online account information, to allow residents to see their upcoming bill before the monthly invoice is received. Residents can also contact Conservice directly for any questions about their bill.
The 1st invoice will be sent during the last week of July. The invoice will include utility charges for June’s usage and payment will be due 8/1.
Flat-rate utility charges will still be due for June and July. Credits will be issued on the flat rates paid in June and July during the month residents are billed for June and July’s usage. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
----------------------
Follow up to the question "What utilities are you referring to?" Email from 6/5/23
Hello,
WateSeweTrash and Pest Control only. Electric and Gas will still be the
responsibility of the tenant.
Thank you

Relevant Contract Clauses

Note: Our current lease (A) ends 7/31/23 and have signed a new lease (B) to 7/31/24. From the property managers email it seems we are having these charges apply over June (this month) and July, therefor, I will be including lease clauses from both year's documents where there are relevant changes.
1.4 Rent (Lease A)
Rent is payable in monthly installments in advance without notice at the rate of $$990.00per month due on the 1st day of each month. Terminating the lease early does not release the tenant from paying the entire lease term amount.

2023.06.06 17:00 superstarmnw I told Chat Gpt to write a Blink song.

(Verse 1) In a world spinning 'round, we're lost in the haze, A generation chasing dreams in a wild craze, Searching for meaning, trying to find our place, But we're all just floating, lost in outer space.
(Pre-Chorus) We're tangled up in the chaos, can't find our way, But we'll break through the darkness, let the colors spray, With hearts on fire, we'll rise from the ashes, Together we'll sing, as the world crashes.
(Chorus) We're the misfits, the ones who never fit in, With a punk rock spirit, we'll never give in, We'll dance in the rain, let the thunder roar, In our own rebellion, we'll find something more.
(Verse 2) Through broken dreams and shattered skies, We'll paint the night with stars that never die, In every scar, a story etched in our souls, We'll embrace the imperfections, let them make us whole.
(Pre-Chorus) We'll scream out the anthems of the restless hearts, A symphony of chaos, tearing the world apart, With every beat, we'll fight against the grain, Won't let conformity drown out our refrain.
(Chorus) We're the misfits, the ones who never fit in, With a punk rock spirit, we'll never give in, We'll dance in the rain, let the thunder roar, In our own rebellion, we'll find something more.
(Bridge) In a world of noise, we'll make our voices heard, Together we'll fly, like a flock of wild birds, Through every obstacle, we'll break down the walls, No matter how hard they try, we won't be controlled.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus) We're the misfits, the ones who never fit in, With a punk rock spirit, we'll never give in, We'll dance in the rain, let the thunder roar, In our own rebellion, we'll find something more.
(Outro) So raise your hands high, let the colors ignite, We'll light up the world with our fearless fight, Blinking through the darkness, shining ever bright, Together we'll conquer, and take back the night

2023.06.06 16:39 OwnQuiet2558 With an alcoholic partner when do you know enough is enough?

My husband has increasingly been drinking more and more. He already went to outpatient rehab once and it was unsuccessful. He said the counselor told him that he didn’t have an issue and they don’t know why he was there because everyone else had substance abuse issues with hard drugs or had committed vehicular manslaughter. And that it was ok for him to drink after rehab.
The rule was no alcohol in the apartment. Then he fought to change it to alcohol weekends only. Then he fought to change it to whenever he feels like it essentially (used his friends moms death as an excuse to drink to support his friend originally).
My son and I aren’t allowed in the living room after 7pm because that’s where he has his gaming setup and he doesn’t want to be distracted from his friends. He screams at his computer at night. When I remind him we have neighbors and to be quiet for their sake and because screaming scares me, I’m being over dramatic and f the neighbors they can deal with it.
His sister says he drinks on weeknights when they play games together and he’s been hiding it. He bragged to her bf that he can drink an entire Amsterdam pink lemonade vodka and be fine the next day. Apparently he also bragged about making so much money now but I still pay more bills. She visited him this last weekend and he drunkenly chased a sprinkler in the middle of the night and fell and ate shit on the concrete and bruised his ribs and fucked up his knee.
His job requires him to be in good physical performance.
He never wants to go with me to run household errands or do fun things. I had to fight to get him to go kayaking with us (and surprise! We had a fantastic time).
He qualified to get a qualification 5 years ago to make $20 more an hour and he has never taken it.
He is kind when he is sober and engaged with the family, but I think it’s finally time and that freaks me out. I just don’t think he will take care of himself and get better. He hasn’t been to the dentist in like 8 years. He hasn’t gotten a concerning skin condition checked out and it’s been spreading across his chest the last year. And he’s gained probably 100 lbs the last 5 years.
He just doesn’t do anything to help himself

2023.06.06 15:33 CrystalStarshine Please recommend series like: Irish village mystery by Carlene O'Connor

I recently got into reading cozy mysteries (my discovery of my library's Hoopla audiobook access has opened a new world of multitasking). I've ready cozy mysteries before, but always just picking up a book, not reading through a series.
I am steadily working my way through Carlene O'Connor's Irish Village Mystery series and I absolutely love it.
Can you please recommend similar series? Here are the particular things I love about this one:
*I love this type of romance - no love triangle, they always treats each other with respect, there's not a ton of will they/won't they or contrived situations to keep them apart. Its easy to love them together and believe they will make it and we are just following along and experiencing how the get there.
*Siobhan is serious and dedicated to her family, village and career...I guess I'm super boring, but I'm a homebody and not particularly interested in nightlife or shopping or drinks with girlfriends or heart pounding chases. I want my protagonist sipping tea and reading books or baking bread while pondering clues, not doing things you'd have to pull teeth to make me do.
*And she's smart! I hate it when a protagonist does something that makes me groan. I shouldn't be tense because the main character has no common sense.
*I LOVE Ireland and really like England, but am also down for reading about small town US if the place seems cozy enough. Big city settings don't seem like something I'd enjoy, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.
*Modern
What should I read next? I would be grateful for any suggestions.

2023.06.06 15:16 Dildo_Shagginz A Defense of Lore Feats, and why it is BAFFLING the hate they're getting

Lore, lore, lore...the basis of all stories, worldbuild, the fundamentals of any verse and any sort of fiction in general. Lore is often used to convey the narrative, backstory, history and general worldbuilding of a verse but, in some verses, it is used to convey the power level of a verse. This has been met with a resounding "FUCK THAT" from the powerscaling community, which I quite honestly find kinda stupid. So this post is going to be "debunking" many of the points people make against lore feats, explaining why they are valid, and why they can be compared to physical feats.
I've wanted to make this post for a while but with the release of Chosen Undead vs Last Dragonborn and it's heavy reliance on lore, and seeing everyone's reactions to it, I needed to make this. So, without further adue, let's go.

"It's not supported by visual feats"

This is the best argument against them and even then it is very easy to tear apart.
As some of you might be aware, not every franchise has the same narrative style. Some series are very in-your-face about their characters level of strength and power, for example series like Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, or really most shonen.
Some series however prefer prefer to split their narrative and story away from the gameplay at large and treat them more like separate entities, for the purposes of whatever narrative or gameplay benefit the developers are chasing. An example of this is God of War, the developers and lore writers of the game have said that in the proper story of the game Kratos is far stronger than he's presented in gameplay, because if you ran around OHK'ing every single enemy in the game with zero effort then that's not really a game anymore. Another example of characters like this is, again, the Chosen Undead and the Last Dragonborn. Realistically, a bear shouldn't even be able to scratch a hair on the Last Dragonborns nutsack, but there needs to be a game to play, and you can't through gods at people as trash-mobs, at that point the players fighting gods loses ALL MEANING.
For people saying "why not have this in cutscenes and not gameplay," there are a VARIETY of reasons why that doesn't work. For the easiest one to get out of the way, imagine how jarring that would be as a player? Kratos is running around as a reasonably grounded warrior mid-game then a cutscenes starts then the clapping of his ballsack against his thighs causes tectonic shift across the solar system, that'd be weird to watch. Developers need to keep in mind what will make the player experience feel good throughout the experience, both in gameplay and cutscenes. The other reason is the one I will talk about right now...

"If they are Universal or Multiversal then why can't they destroy doors or break walls blocking their path and shit?"

This is ignoring the fundamental difference between attack potency and destructive capacity.
Attack Potency is the measure of force from an attack sent into a target. It is the amount of force a nuke hits with
Destructive Capacity is the measure of destruction an attack causes. It is the area of effect of a nuke.
Attack Potency does not immediately ascribe a level of Destructive Capacity, just because something has universe level attack potency does not mean it will blow up the universe. For example, using physical feats, Madara's God-Tree feat and the Death Star roughly have the same attack potency. Do they have the same destructive capacity, FUCK NO. Another example, this kick from Yor Forger hits wall level attack potency, did it blow up a wall? No.

"Actions speak louder than words"

This is a very common argument and I mainly think it's because people want to sound smart and refined when they say it not knowing how baffling this argument is
ACTIONS REQUIRE WORDS IN ORDER TO FUNCTION
If I should a clip of someone being healed, if they don’t know the character it could literally be anything. Time reversing to undo injuries. Regeneration. Someone else’s healing ability. Hell, even if you were to to inherently always assume it’s regen, what LEVEL are you to assume?
Low? High-Mid? Any variation of Godly?
You wouldn’t be able to tell someone without the accompanying statement that CLARIFIES an event. It’s physically impossible. The statement is 100% necessary.
Same with even planetary feats. For example, in the DCAU Golden AMAZO teleports an entire planet (Oa) to a new dimension. If you simply watched the scene where it happens you’d just assume he obliterated that planet.
Because it’s physically impossible to visualize Universe Destruction. If they “do” they do not use the Universe. They use their own custom model. DC, Marvel, Dragon Ball, etc. Their own unique cosmologies. And how do you ever know this is their version of a Universe? Oh, yeah, a statement.
And if they use a normal Universe, they don’t SHOW a Universe. Because they can’t. They instead use many galaxies and SAY Universe. In other words: A STATEMENT.
Even taking something as visual and primal as the Dragon Ball universe shockwaves from Goku and Beerus require lore. They're sending shockwaves across the universe? How do you know it's a universe? Statement. How do you know how big that universe is? Statement. What is their shockwave doing? Statement. Even the most visual of visual feats require statements, require a level of lore, in order to function. Because without any statements? Without any lore? Those shockwaves are, what, planet level?
Same with speed. You can’t visualize Infinity. Or immeasurable. Ever just see Flash move at incalculable speeds? No, because you CAN’T. He just moves vaguely fast visually and they SAY it’s infinite/immeasurable/whatever speed he’s moving at the time.
It’s just an inherent limitation of the visual form. Statements are necessary to form adequate understanding of context (which is necessary to properly quantify a feat) and explanations for what is happening.

"I can't read"

Mood

"It's not consistent"

This doesn't matter. Rule three of Death Battle clearly states that "a combatants maximum potential is examined unless specified otherwise."
Death Battle has also said that they don't function on the conventional rule of outliers, PIS and "oh that's not consistent." This has been said as early (to my memory) as the Ghost Rider vs Lobo Q&A at timestamp 17:20. Tldr they said "canon is canon, if a character did this feat we can't just ignore it." And this goes deeper into the fundamental misunderstanding of what an outlier means
An outlier means that you fucked up your numbers or your calculations and created something WILDLY DIFFERENT than what is consistent. For example if you where calc'ing the Dragon Ball shockwaves four times and got Universal, 2x Universal, 1.5x Universal, and Dwarf Star Level. One of these is an outlier, and is therefore axed.
These feats are not outliers. Because an outlier, technically, doesn't exist, it is the result of YOU fucking up your numbers. But these feats exist. Doomslayer did shake all of hell, Kratos did battle the gods and titans that created the universe, the Chosen Undead did sustain the universe-creating First Flame, the Dragonborn did kill Alduin who had the power to devour all of space and time. They exist, you can't ignore them.

"You are unable to calculate lore feats"

Not only does this heavily rely on the kind of lore feats we're talking about and has been debunked by DB themselves (calc'ing Miraak moving the island of Solstheim which came from a lore statement in a book, calc'ing Osse's raising of Numenor, Gul'Dans raising of the Broken Isles and Illidans shaking of the planet in the Q&A, etc.) but this applies to physical feats too.
How do you calc something being Multi+? Low Complex? Outerversal? You can't, whether it's visual or not. There is no CALC you can do to determine things above universal, that's why on sites like versus battle wiki they stop giving ton-values or TnT values for tiers above uni and instead give just classifications of what makes something multi or low complex or outer and so on and so forth.
If we where reliant on just visual feats that are calc'able, then fiction would cap at Uni and MFTL+, nothing would higher, NOTHING.

In Conclusion:

Here are some verses to look out for in terms of busted lore-verses.
Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Warcraft, Tolkien-verse, Destiny, God of War, Doom, Devil May Cry, Fate, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, etc.
So yeah, please stop downplaying lore feats, thank you.

2023.06.06 14:42 doctorgecko Respect Yukari Yakumo (Touhou)

"Would you like to have a near-death experience? By crossing the boundary between life and death."

Yukari Yakumo

Themes:
Yukari Yakumo is a legendary youkai with the ability to manipulate boundaries. She is one of the sages who created Gensokyo in the first place, and a good contender for its most powerful resident. Despite this she is also exceptionally lazy, spending most of her time sleeping and foisting most of the problems off on Reimu or Ran. Still, her incredible intelligence and completely inhuman nature means one can never tell quite what she's thinking, and making her angry is a very bad idea.

Notes

  • Source Index
  • Perfect Memento in Strict Sense and Symposium of Post Mysticism is an in universe book written by Hidea no Akyuu. She has a tendency to exaggerate and speculate, so her claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
  • Yukari herself is noted to lie quite a lot, so her own claims should also be taken with a grain of salt.
  • In 15.5 Yukari makes use of the urban legend Teke Teke, but her attacks while using this urban legend are fairly in line with her normal capabilities. As it's unclear what effect the Urban legend is having, these feats will be included in this section but marked with Occult
  • Yukari scales to a large number of characters, so here is every Touhou respect thread for the games

Defining Some Terms

Spell Card System: The Spell Card Rules were put in place by Reimu Hakurei in order to make duels between everyone fair, formalized, and safe. It is also the method nearly all Touhou characters will use in-character. Spell card battles have very clearly defined rules and attacks that are agreed upon before a duel with the purpose being that the most beautiful attacks win. In general Spell Cards are characters going easy on the foe, with ZUN outright stating they're not something the characters would ever use if they were serious.
Danmaku: Danmaku are the "bullets" fired in a bullet hell, take many different forms, and are able to be fired by most Gensokyo citizens. They're an essential part of duels in Gensokyo, being used to control an opponent's movement and overwhelm them. They can either be fired in intricate patterns, or just fired rapidly from a single point.
Youkai: Supernatural beings typically born from humanity's fear of the unknown, and the primary residents of Gensokyo. Youkai can be highly varied, but tend to be highly resistant to physical attacks while far more weak to spiritual attacks, such as names and traditions.
Gensokyo: Genoskyo is the region Touhou takes place in, and is a small landlocked region of Japan. It is fully enclosed by the Great Hakurei Barrier (more information bellow). The clearest picture of it shows it containing a few mountains, with it also being noted Gensokyo is small enough to see almost all of it from the Hakurei shrine
  • The Sages of Genoskyo (of which Yukari is a member) are the beings responsible for the creation and maintenance of Gensokyo
Urban Legend Incident: Due to the occult balls various Urban Legends begin to manifest in Gensokyo, and some characters are capable of controlling an urban legend in battle that matches their tempermant. It's worth noting that the effects are present even after the occult balls are removed from Gensokyo though Reisen notes it will soon settle down.

Boundary Manipulation

General Description: Summarized, Yukari's power allows her to manipulate the boundary between any two things.This can apply both to physical boundaries (such as between Gensokyo and the outside world), or even the boundary of concepts (such as human and youkai or night and day).
Direct Combat Usage
Gaps and Warping
Great Hakurei Barrier
Gensokyo's Boundary of Reality and Illusion
Misc

Other Abilities

Note that a number of feats here potentially involve boundary manipulation, but it's less explicit
Energy Projection
Shikigami: Shikigami are spirits that have been turned into tools via a patter, that have software installed to control them
Umbrella
Senses

2023.06.06 14:17 Nexis4Jersey My vision for South Jersey Rail & Transit V2

Early this year I posted to the PA & NY Subreddits about expansions I had for their planned statewide rail network. I decided to go over all my Northeastern proposals and give them a slight refresh , so here is my refreshed proposal for South Jersey : 2019 post. I cut some of the pure fantasy routes while leaning into the more realistic ideas. Did some more research on the various routes that used to crisscross the region and the named Intercity services that used to link to big cities with gateway destinations. There seems to be increasing traction on the PA & DE side to advance their backlog of rail projects. The feds unleashing a tsunami amount of funding seems to fueling that trend unfortunately NJ has been slow to push any project forward aside from a few NEC projects & the Raritan Bay Bridge replacement. I used the openrailways map to comb through the all the rail lines snaking their way around the region , drawing up a reasonable proposal.

2023.06.06 12:37 boutell New US CHAdeMO chargers in May 2023

Here are all of the new US CHAdeMO (Leaf fast-charging) stations that rolled out in May 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
There were 124 "new" CHAdeMOs added in May. To put it in perspective, there were 112 CHAdeMO chargers added in April. I think the pace of CHAdeMO rollout has stabilized, while the pace of CCS rollout is still increasing. This makes sense given that only Nissan still makes a CHAdeMO car.
Some of these chargepoints will be "refreshes," e.g. the provider replaced them with faster chargers etc. Some may be incorrect. This report is only as good as the Alternative Fuels Data Center data.
We all know that CHAdeMO is a legacy format and will eventually go away, but clearly Nissan and their partners are continuing to support it for the time being. This shouldn't be surprising. After all, you can still buy a new Leaf.
If you'd like to know about new chargers along your routes right away, or reading these monthly reports is just frustrating in your state, I've set up a free service that provides email notifications only when new stations actually open.

PART EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY-ONE
[Previous Chapter] [The Beginning] [Patreon+2]
Friday
It was the middle of a bright, sunny day, and Phillipa was jogging through Central Park, listening to whatever music her playlist threw at her. She was enjoying the rush of moving without puffing … without feeling lethargy at all. She paused and put her fingers on her throat like she’d seen all those fit people in the park do, but couldn’t find anything that even remotely felt like a pulse.
Well, in her mind, that had to mean she was so comfortable; her pulse wasn’t killing itself, which was awesome. Especially considering she’d been running …
She frowned and turned back the way she came. How many blocks had she run? And when did she actually start running? She wasn’t a runner, like at all, and she enjoyed chocolate and caffeine and worked too much.
Right on cue, an annoying water ripple which she used for her general ringtone (because it was quiet and wouldn’t disturb a meeting much if she were sitting in with Tucker) sounded, and she squeezed her right earpiece stem to accept the call.
Only it kept chiming in her ear.
Her frown deepened as she dug through her clothes, looking for her phone to connect the call manually, promising herself to replace the headset on her way to work. Except why wasn’t she at work now? It was daylight. Bright daylight. Why was she running during the day? Was it the weekend?
She found her phone in the front pocket of her business jacket, where it was always located during business hours, but when she lifted it to her face, the main screen wouldn’t wake up. It remained blank, no matter what she did to bring it online.
Plus, the music was still playing. The music should have cut out the second a call came through. She shook the phone and pressed the buttons along the side, hoping to reset it over and over again, harder with each pass, yet nothing worked.
What in the world…
Phillipa came awake with all the finesse of someone having a heart attack, her fingers biting into the hardened plastic edges of … her TV remote. The TV was still madly scrolling through whatever buttons Phillipa had been mashing in an effort to get it to work as a phone, but more importantly, her real phone was still dinging away on her bedside table.
“Phillipa Webber,” she said as soon as she connected the call, swinging her feet over the edge of the bed. It didn’t matter that she’d been sent home with the supposed promise/threat of a weekend off. Calls at five-thirty in the morning meant something was horribly wrong, and she used the adrenaline to clear away the cobwebs.
“Phillipa, it’s Michelle Winthrop. Tucker’s family is in trouble.”
It took Phillipa’s brain half a second to tie the woman’s name into one of the three senior partners of Pike and Hubble LLC, and from there, it was all systems go. “What do you need from me?”
Michelle outlined the security they wanted for both Tucker and the laptop he had in Pensacola. When Phillipa mentioned Helen, Michelle’s snort of disgust made her smile. “She’s commandeered Donald. That should be enough for her.”
Phillipa went into the living room/kitchen combo and slid into the bench chair that doubled as a workspace for her. She flipped open her personal computer and powered it up, going through layers upon layers of security protocols before accessing the business mainframe. With each one, she hoped and prayed Colton hadn’t followed through on his threat of having her clearances temporarily revoked.
Yesterday had been a wash as Martin’s driver dropped her outside her condo building and waited alongside the car while she walked to the main doors. It had annoyed her immensely when she turned to see why he was still standing there, filming her with his phone.
“Forgive me, Miss Webber,” he said, not lowering his hand in the least. “Mister Laurier has insisted on proof of you walking into your apartment building before I am permitted to leave.”
Phillipa had ground her teeth and eventually let out a long-suffering breath of annoyance, reminding herself she was too old to flip off Martin Laurier, as much as her sleep-deprived, caffeine-infused brain insisted on it being the greatest idea in the whole world.
She’d been polite to any neighbours she’d come across on her way to the apartment, but it wasn’t until she’d run herself a bath and sank beneath the warm bubbles with Samantha (her Burmese cat) perched by her head that she felt the first vestiges of anxiousness slip away. Samantha's meows had been so deep and so constant throughout the whole bath had been a non-stop tirade, no doubt a lecture for leaving her alone for a few days.
Not that she’d been completely left alone. Before she’d flown to Florida, Phillipa had arranged for an elderly neighbour who was the resident cat lady to pop in and feed Samantha and change her litter, but that wasn’t what her girl had a problem with. When Mrs Beaton came, she reeked of her own horde of cats, and Samantha hated all their smells in her space.
Thankfully, she wasn’t a boy cat and didn’t take to scent-marking her territory every time there was a threat, but for the next few days, Phillipa had known she’d need to air out the condo as much as possible.
Which was why she’d been dreaming about jogging when she’d never jogged a step in her life. For her, there were two speeds: a brisk walk or a flat-out run, with the latter only acceptable when someone or something murderous was chasing her. But with the bedroom window open and the smells of the city wafting through on the early morning breeze in waves, her dreams had interpreted that as movement.
A minute or so later, she was in.
Security teams were going to take time to assemble. Very few places would enable her to scramble a team with the necessary clearance levels, but putting one together from here and sending it down would take thousands of dollars and four hours of travel time.
She stroked her jaw, ending with a silent drum of her fingers against her cheek. “Boots on the ground … boots on the ground … someone with the right clearance…” Her brain was whirring as the options wound down on such short notice.
One was a super longshot, but given he had already passed the security checks and his history with the company was exemplary, Phillipa decided to risk it. She went into the HR listing of all staff members and clicked on the list of inactive personnel. Skimming down the list, she clicked on his name and quickly typed the personal number into her phone.
“C’mon …c’mon…”
* * *
Thomas was awake with his hand plunged under his pillow for the M3 trench knife kept there. It was a habit he picked up after his time in the sandbox, although back then, it had been a gun rather than a knife. (Nine years of rooming with Donald had him switching it out when he’d pointed the weapon at Donald before he was properly awake, and the other man had warned him that if he did that again, he’d be force-fed every bullet in the magazine.)
His phone sounded nearby, but the ringtone meant it wasn’t anyone he knew. If it’s a fuckin’ telemarketer, I’ll hunt them down and…he thought to himself, even as he crossed the room dressed in only his briefs and picked up the phone. It wasn’t like he had company. “Yeah?” The word was barely a question, more of a threat. It was intentional.
“Mister Cole?”
The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t place it. Walking over to the window, he pulled back the curtain to let in the early morning rays through the palm leaves of the trees that separated him from the beach. “I’m here.”
“Mister Cole, might I ask where you are at the moment?”
“Darlin’, until I know who you are, I’m not going to tell you anything except you’re messing with the wrong man.”
“It’s Phillipa Webber, Mister Cole. Tucker Portsmith’s EA.”
Thomas sucked in a sharp breath. He’d assumed walking away from the job and leaving the state soon after would be a big enough hint that there wasn’t enough money on the planet to have him going toe to toe with whatever it was protecting the Nascerdios family. Even now, his eyes dropped fearfully to the three-dimensional, circular brand on his chest of a snake that slithered around his flesh, hissing menacingly at him.
“Where are you, Mister Cole?”
“Nowhere near New York,” he answered evasively.
“Mister Cole, how close are you to Florida at this time?”
“I’m in the Bahamas. Why?” He had amassed a small fortune working around the clock for the Portsmiths with no vacation time for almost a decade, which was why he’d decided to grant himself an extravagant tropical holiday. Though every time he looked down in his swimmers and saw the living snake brand, he wondered if he shouldn’t have gone the other way and headed for the slopes.
“Mister Cole, would you be interested in temporarily coming back to work for us in Florida?”
Thomas couldn’t shake his head fast enough. “No.”
“Mister Cole, I wouldn’t be calling if it weren’t critical. You have the clearance to protect Portsmith Electronics’ interests, and if you’re in the Bahamas, you are our closest asset to our CEO.”
I’m not your asset anymore! “Where’s Donald?”
“He’ll be returning with Mrs Portsmith shortly. However, both the laptop and Mister Portsmith are in Florida, and the one bodyguard they took with them is spending more time with Mrs Portsmith than Mister Portsmith. I need a second set of eyes, and despite your sudden departure from the company, your loyalty to us prior to that was impeccable.”
“Where is Geraldine and … S-Sam?” God, he hated the slight tremor in his voice as he said that name, but damned if he could stop it. Going after Sam had put him into a torturous living nightmare that not even two tours in the sandbox had gone close to doing. At least once a night, he had woken up either trembling or screaming due to that inhuman voice and the way they’d imprinted the snake brand on his consciousness.
He knew it wasn’t really there because he’d asked several one-night stands what they saw on his chest, and they only described his regular tattoos and scars. He looked at his chest’s reflection in the door and shuddered when the snake turned to look at him in the reflection and opened its mouth wide to hiss at him.
“They’re in New York completing exams. Why?”
Thomas shuddered a second time if only to get it out of his system. “It doesn’t matter. I’m sorry, I don’t think I can help you…”
“Thomas, we’ll triple your hourly rate and cover the cost of rearranging your vacation once this is sorted. It should only be a day or two…”
Thomas reached over his head and hooked his fingers around the architrave of the sliding glass door, hanging his near-full weight off his fingertips to stretch out his arm and core.
“Thomas, please. You’re the only one with the clearance who can be on-site in a couple of hours. Even if I get things moving here, it’ll be at least five hours before I can have boots on the ground in Pensacola.”
Thomas released the door and dragged his fingers through his hair. He and Donald had already been paid triple the going rate for bodyguards, and to triple that again… “Miss Webber…”
“Thomas, name your price. At the moment, you have us over a barrel.”
“Full intel.”
“Excuse me?”
“That’s my price, ma’am. If you want me in on this, I need to know what you know about the people you’re going up against. No more going in blind.”
“Thomas, I’m not sure…”
“You asked for my price! That’s it! I’m not about to walk into a situation blind again if can help it.” On an exhale, he added, “Never again.”
“Alright. Alright … I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about, Mister Cole, but if it’s in my power to give you everything you think you need to complete this task, I’ll see to it personally.” Her voice dropped away, but not before Thomas heard her mutter, “It’s not like I’m doing anything else this weekend.”
“I can walk out of my bungalow in three minutes or seven if you need me showered and shaved.”
“Take the seven minutes, Mister Cole.”
“Yes, ma’am. Where do you need me to be after that?”
“I’ll text you the details.” She paused for a moment, then added, “Consider this your first piece of personal information you wouldn’t normally know. Tucker Portsmith and I went to college together, and I consider him my best friend. It’s why I want you down there, looking out for him.”
With that, Phillipa hung up on him, but Thomas was already moving.
