2023.06.01 23:41 33thealchemist33 I hope this helps…

I hope this helps…
I’m not sure how to start this off, bare with me as I try my best;
I am not sure if you remember me saying this- but I once told you “I don’t think I could ever be mad at you” I meant(mean) that. At the time I said it I didn’t really understand why , it just came out , it felt natural and sincere.
As I’m deep into my healing journey - I am learning why saying that felt so natural to me. I would like to let my guard down and be vulnerable with you right now. Please treat my heart gently as I lay this all out for you. I know this separation has not been easy for me; not sure how it’s effecting you. I don’t ask how you’re doing that much these days… your answers have always been short - despite me knowing there is deeper meaning behind them. I don’t know if I will ever learn why; if you will ever let your guard down for me. If you decide not too… I want you to understand that I understand why. I don’t hold it against you and I still- and will always love you unconditionally. I hope you feel the truth in my words. But as you know by now- we are the same. I often tell you I’m doing great. Which is very much true. I’m healing. I’m learning my worth. I’m setting boundaries and sticking to them. I want you to know; I am doing this for me. I deserve to heal. However , I am also doing it for you. I know that healing myself is also healing you; we both deserve that. Despite your thoughts telling you otherwise. Please don’t take offense to me detaching to do this. We both know it has to be done. I would be lying if I said that the memories we have shared - and the emotions attached to the memories; they are still with me. Often times hitting me like an arrow to the chest. They take my breath away, setting fire to my chest, it gives me peace and keeps me going. It is what is fueling me to keep going forward no matter what. I also want you to understand; all the positive and wonderful thoughts and the way you perceive me… that is who you truly are as well. I’ve always known you in that light- I see your true self even though you may not be certain of who you are; you must always remember - we are the same soul. I knew the moment my eyes met yours. It’s a dream I’m been having since before I met you in the 3D. Then I saw you for the first time and thought “here we go” I played it off as a mere physical attraction- because trying to explain this to anyone would have me taking a grippy sock vacation. Lol Regardless of what happens in this lifetime. I beg of you to understand; I love you unconditionally- and will continue holding space for you. NO MATTER WHAT.❣️
⭐️ My wishes:⭐️ -To be your last -Your person you run to with any good or bad thought, problem, experience. -to be your warm blanket when your cold; and your cool breeze when you’re hot. (Which you’ve always been hot to me) ;) - I want to sing with you in the car and hold your hand. -I want to cook for and with you - I want to protect you from anything or anyone that ever comes close to causing you pain or sadness. - I want to wipe away your tears when you’re sad ; and your boogers when you’re sick. - I want to be your best friend an greatest lover - I want to kiss every inch of your body. I want to make you reach climax so hard your entire body trembles and you can’t walk and then I want to do it again and again until you can no longer handle it. When I’m finally feeling you’ve been satisfied enough… I will bring you cold water and a snack. Then I will hold you and caress your hair till you sleep peacefully. - I want to be your forever; I will never grow tired of you, I will never cheat on you, I will never leave your side. I will never make you feel alone or unworthy of anything less than the perfect love I have for you… and I will remind you and reassure you of this as many times as it takes to rid you of past hurts. - I want you and only you; in this life and the next. -I want our kids and the world to see what true love looks like.
You are my person. Please don’t ever forget this. Please don’t let the bad days/ thoughts win. I love you. I miss you. I’ll see you later 😉 🩵🩷🔐

2023.06.01 23:39 Neither_Telephone_66 does he like or is he just an ongoing person?

Hello I need help to know if he likes me or not. Taking into account that my experience is zero, this situation keeps bothering me. Basically I haven't paid much attention to him until now, probably because of anxiety and depression. But this last month I've started to notice him and he does things that makes me think he likes me but I'm not entirely sure. To contextualize we are in the same class but there are many people, also he's two years older than me. At the beginning of the course we never spoke, but when we walk acrossed each other he smiled at me showing his teeth. After Christmas he joined my group for a subject assignment. In February we had to go somewhere for this assigment and I got to know him a bit better. Two months passed by and it wasn't until the end of April that I got to know him better and began to ask myself if he liked me. These are the things that he does that make me ask my self if he likes me: - He smiled at me when we passed each other. - I have caught him several times looking at me -His feet pointed towards me on different occasions - one day he seriously asked me if I was okay and kept eye contact for more than a minute because he wanted to know how I felt - The penultimate day of class he took and changed places in class and sat at my table but in the corner (the tables are four and rectangular so i he was in the 1st spot, 2nd and 3rd where empty and i was on the 4th place), this confused me a lot because it didn't make sense for him to change places because never before had, plus he sat at the other side of the class. Eveen the teacher asked him why he changed places. - He also speaks to me sometimes with the deeper voice -I also told him some gossip and he was very interested - doing the task that I mentioned before, I went to lie down on the grass and he came and lay down with me and he began to take photos and I think I was on the background - He told me about his insecurity (tell me what straight man tells that to someone) and we mutually told each other about some traumas - physical contact: when I left a place I was with my cell phone and to prevent me from falling he grabbed my hip for a second. And then the day of the presentation of our work when we finished we sat together and from time to time our feet collided and stayed together for a few seconds.Also, his whole body pointed towards me. -He also congratulate me when he finished presenting -he asked me for request on instagram with both his main and secondary accounts and he also asked me for a request on BeReal - I opened the best friends section on insta and he liked the story, he has already liked two more stories and the other day he responded to one with the word "HIT" because of the song I posted and we had a little conversation even though he is currently on a trip. - He says things that make me laugh - I have caught him several times looking at me -I scolded him because he mispronounced my name and he began to pronounce it correctly and he began to call me by my nickname - He asked me with his friend if my friend liked him and I told him no, and he told his friend "i've told you we're just friends" But he does things that confuse me, like in general he is a very outgoing person and he makes me doubt if he is like this with everyone and it is simply all my imagination. Onto things that made me dougth: Then at the beginning of May when I wrote to him he would take hours / days to answer me and sometimes he didn't even answer me. He also told me about his ex. To finish the next course I'm going to study abroad and I told him and there was indifference. So my question is: Does he like me or being an extroverted person is he like that with everyone? What I do? How can i know? Classes had finished so I don't know when am I going to se him again. Thank u for reading <3

2023.06.01 23:35 bryanwi09 Me (39M) and my wife (37F) having issues, she filed for divorce...

Long story short, I have known her almost 18 years, she was around when my younger brother passed away in 2012 unexpectedly and I fell into a depression.
We started seeing each other in Jan 2019. I stayed at her place with the 2 kids she had previously, or she and the kids stayed with me.
Moved in together in August 26th, 2019.
Got engaged in Feb 2021, married on August 26th, 2022.
Feb 2022, she wasn't on her meds and lost her mind (her words) and she up and sold the house we were living in. House was in her name only. I went to live with my parents, she and the kids went to live with her mom and step-dad. We still talked during this time, she ended up buying a house in April 2022. About 2 weeks after moving in, she asked me to come stay for the week to house and dog sit while she, the kids and her high school best friend who is also one of my best friends. I stayed there and she told me through text while flying that we were in a sense, getting back together. She came back after the trip late at night and exhausted, told me that I could stay with her in bed, long as I knew nothing was going to happen.

Twist: During the break-up, she never canceled our wedding date with the venue and I mentioned to our mutual friend that I had hope that we were still going to be married. I was crazy and everyone told me that it wasn't going to work. While working on getting back together, we found out that if we weren't going to get married, we would have to come up with $5,000 that we didn't have at the time, or go ahead and get married. We ended up getting married. She wanted to get married before her grandma passed away, and her grandparents pretty much raised her due to her parents divorcing when she was young.
My wife has suffered from various forms of abuse and she has always told me that she is with me because I am the only man that would never hurt her and she knows I love her more than I love myself. She knows it upsets me that I hear about her past. She is on medication and says she has PTSD, depression and anxiety. I have depression and anxiety and I was not on medication for it until last week for my bad anxiety. She doesn't take her medication like she should and the medications she is on are pretty powerful drugs and when she doesn't take them, they cause horrible mood swings. After about 6 months of living with her, she started to develop depression as both of her grandparents health was starting to decline, upsetting her obviously. Every 4-6 weeks when she didn't take her medicine, she would 'lose it' and go off and I would get really upset and anxious myself which only makes it worse.
Well this past time when it got bad, she took out an EPO on me despite telling her half brother a month before this that the one thing she loves about me is that she knows I will never hurt her. I am pretty sure she just wanted me out of the house and used the EPO to do so. Being apart is ideal, I usually don't leave though trying to make it work just living in the basement for a bit. She would always threaten divorce when things didn't go her way, well this time she filed and then I am sure asked the lawyer how to get me out of the house and said that was the only way. I took an EPO out on her due to a grapefruit sized bruise she left on me when I asked to be left alone and I have pictures. She took an incident that happened and said I hurt her and all this, clearly lies and I know she doesn't have any bruises, I saw her naked that night.
She greatly exaggerates everything she says and does. EPO hearing resulted in them both being dropped (her lawyer offered to drop, probably due to the pictures I had of my bruise and she didn't have anything) but still wanted to divorce. In the 4-6 weeks, she had her medicine a total of maybe 10 days and it always causes issues.
I need to figure out what I can do to get her the help she needs. I am getting the help I need and am on medication for anxiety myself and she does not see a doctor, psych, or therapist and hasn't for over a year. I see someone every month at minimum. The lawyer I have said that sometimes a judge can order counseling, how or what do I need to do to make that happen? I need to figure this out to save our marriage. We haven't focused on ourselves, our 14 year old daugther has had a lot of medical issues and surgery and what happened on the day where the EPOs were taken out was just a perfect storm of emotions. I can take a mental inquest warrant out on her, but I do NOT want to do that period and for obvious reasons. I am trying to figure out what I need to do to save our marriage and what I can say or tell the lawyer to request marriage counselling and I will stay out of the house for now, even if we didn't have a civil agreement in place. Her stepdad told me when I went to get stuff from the house this past weekend that she needs to struggle some because she hasn't and everyone has always stepped in to help her. Any advice is great. I need to get counseling because when she is on her medications regularly, she is wonderful, the love of my life and everything I have ever wanted and is the wife I need. She isn't affectionate at all, due to her depression. I know if we both get the help we need we are great.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the novel!

2023.06.01 23:35 Koala_Guru [TotK] The Importance of Link's Companions

I will start things off by saying that I am talking about the role of the companions in a story sense, not discussing their gameplay. It is undeniable that some aspects of the new companion system need to be tweaked. Many have lamented how unwieldy it is to have to run up to each companion in the heat of battle to make use of their abilities. But this post is about how important and amazing this new system is for the story of the series, and why it should no go away any time soon.
Hyrule's Incompetent Races:
The Zelda series has always been about one thing at its core: the eternal struggle between the recurring representations of the three pieces of the Triforce. Link, the Triforce of Courage, must rise up from humble beginnings to defeat Ganon, the Triforce of Power, with help from Zelda, the Triforce of Wisdom. Link is the hero, and he must be the one to save the day. To save all of Hyrule. In the beginning, this was all very simple. Aside from occasional encounters with old men in caves or random NPCs in towns, the only characters of note were Link, Zelda, and Ganon. But when the series jumped into 3D, things changed.
Hyrule was now full of a variety of different races, and in order to show the true threat Ganon posed to the world, each one was afflicted with some sort of dilemma. Link was again, the hero who had to save these disparate people and then defeat Ganon himself. The unfortunate consequence of this sort of design is that it made the races of Hyrule out to be incompetent, and unable to continue on living without the intervention of the almighty Link. See, unlike the Hylians, who have their own heroes represented by characters like Link and Zelda, these races were entirely separate, and generally seemed to exist solely to need saving. In spite of their unique attributes that would seemingly give them an edge over Hylians in certain situations, they spectacularly failed to solve any problem that occurred.
In Ocarina of Time, this served to make some of them look utterly helpless and a bit stupid. Who could forget the might Gorons, able to lift the heaviest objects and chew through rocks...about to die of starvation because Ganondorf dropped a boulder over their favorite cave? Or the water-dwelling Zora, an old and wise people who are at home on both land and water...unable to locate the bottle their missing princess had left for them at the bottom of a lake? The incompetence on display is even played for laughs on some occasions, like having to watch the lazy king of the Zora slowly scoot his ass cheeks to the side so Link can go save his daughter.
And this sort of thing continued throughout the series. Every time any of these races appeared, they had a problem that needed fixing. They couldn't do it on their own, so Link comes along to single handedly save their race from extinction.
Previous Attempts at Addressing the Issue:
That's not to say they never attempted to make these races more active. In OoT, the goal of the five temples of the game is to awaken sages: champions of each race who will go on to support Link in his quest. The only issue is, they don't really do anything. Each sage has a pattern. You go to their home and hear from someone that they went off to solve the issue on their own. Entering the temple, you encounter the sage if you're lucky, and otherwise you simply see them all in the Sacred Realm after defeating their associated boss. They awaken as sages, give Link a representative medallion, and then fade into the background until the end of the game where, with their powers combined...they build a bridge. Then they seal Ganon away after Link has defeated him. In fact, the lack of any appearance by each sage after they enter their temples has led to a common theory that the sages actually die. We see Darunia go after Volvagia on his own and then disappear. We hear that Saria and Impa went to their respective temples but we don't hear from them until the Sacred Realm.
In Majora's Mask, you actually play as a few different races. Only, you aren't actually playing as characters of these races. You are Link, inhabiting their bodies to basically do their job better. The Deku Scrubs are not seen as fighters and are pushed around by everyone. But Deku Link navigates the Woodfall Temple and defeats Odolwa. Darmani died trying to stop the blizzard affecting his home, but Goron Link does it just fine. Mikau dies trying to get the Zora's eggs back, but Zora Link can do it. Again, Link is the hero. He is the reincarnated wielder of the Triforce of courage. Only he can accomplish anything of note, even if he has to take on other forms to do so.
The Wind Waker has Link go through the game's two temples with Medli of the Rito and Makar of the Koroks acting as his actual companions. With their help, he is able to solve various puzzles, with Medli having a reflective harp and Makar planting seeds. The two can even be controlled using the command melody. This is closest the series came up to that point of giving the non-Hylian races more agency. After all, in this same game, Link's life is saved by the Rito and Valoo. Unfortunately, things still aren't perfect. Medli and Makar are more sort of escorted through their temples, unable to fight and often having to be literally carried through rooms. Once Link gets his own mirror shield Medli quickly loses much of her unique utility, and a whole segment of the Wind Temple is dedicated to saving Makar who has been kidnapped. The command melody is also explained by the King of Red Lions to be Link straight up controlling his companions so that they do what they need to do, implying that the two cannot figure out "Stand in this light" or "plant seeds here" without Link literally taking over their minds.
And that brings us to Breath of the Wild. Simultaneously the best and most disappointing effort up to that point. Positives first. This game's backstory is about Link and Zelda teaming up with four Champions: representatives of the best their respective races have to offer. They are all competent warriors and play a pivotal role in the plan to defeat the Calamity. In the present day, Link teams up with different members of these races, and it is with their help that he is able to board the Divine Beasts. Only through Sidon's fast swimming, Teba's aerial maneuverability, Yunobo's resilience, and Riju's Thunder Helm, is Link able to gain access to this game's dungeons. Once inside, Link frees the spirits of the Champions of old and gains their abilities to use on the rest of his journey.
How about those negatives, though? For starters, all of the Champions are dead when the game starts. They may be paragons of their respective races, but they have no chance against the Blights that face them. No way could Mipha, a Zora, stand up against an enemy who wields water. Daruk, a Goron, is clearly cooked when facing a fiery opponent. Urbosa, wielder of lightning, seems to be not so lightning-proof herself. And Revali, master of the wind, can't stand up to tornadoes. Not like our boy Link here, who beats them all with ease. Next, the problems facing most of the races in this game are somewhat laughable. Sure, the Zora can't touch shock arrows, but the rest? You mean the Gerudo race of powerful warrior women can't storm the Yiga stronghold to get their Thunder Helm back? The Gorons who are mighty and can stand against any kind of heat can't get close to Rudania and no one but Bludo can use his cannons because...he's the boss? The Rito, literal birds, cannot take out Vah Medoh's cannons without being hit, but Link, a dude with a paraglider, can handle them just fine?
Tears of the Kingdom Finally Shows Some Respect:
All of this preamble later, we now reach TotK and its companion system. From a starting perspective, things may seem to be business as usual. The different races have problems caused by Ganon, and Link must show up to help them. But the differences are very apparent. For starters, the problems are much more believably bad and difficult to handle. The Zora's water is poisoned with sludge that is literally suffocating them. The Rito's home is being buried in a blizzard. The Gorons are straight up mind controlled. And the Gerudo are facing down a never-before-seen enemy that has them on their back foot as they try to keep their civilians safe.
We also see that, unlike in most other cases, the races are already working to solve their own problems before Link arrives. Sidon is manually separating the sludge from the water while healers tend to Zora wounds and researchers try to find some answer to stopping the sludge. The Rito adults are all out of their village searching for food and investigating the source of the blizzard. The Gerudo are actively investigating ways to harm their new foes, and their chief is practicing her new ability that is the only one to show any signs of effectiveness. And the only ones not actively solving their problems, the Gorons, are doing so because their minds are taken over and forcing them to be apathetic.
Another great thing that helps mix up the monotonous formula of Link being the only one able to help all of Hyrule, is that the completion of each temple and solving of each race's problem leads to each of those races aiding the Hylians in turn. Each race sends out representatives to reinforce the Hylian base of operations, and they start performing tasks only they can achieve to aid in the untangling of the problems caused by the upheaval.
But all this leads to the single greatest thing this game does in this regard. Now, each race Link saves is not saved alone. Link instead teams up with representatives of each race and they solve their problems together, providing Link with support that makes an otherwise impossible task possible. They lend him their unique abilities and fight alongside him to defeat any threat that comes their way. When they awaken as sages, they use their power to stay by his side at all times rather than fading into the background. And when the time comes, they fight Ganondorf right alongside Link.
Hyrule is always facing crises, but usually this tends to paint most of Hyrule as helpless civilians with only two heroes in the entire kingdom who can do anything about it. Rather than Ganon endangering Hyrule and Hyrule fighting back, it's more like Ganondorf endangers Hyrule and they call their dad to come beat him up. Here though, in TotK, for the first time, Hyrule truly does fight back. Hyrule's diverse and capable races bring their unique skills to bear in order to defeat the greatest threat they have known, and as a result the world feels more alive and worth fighting for than it ever has before. I hope the companion system does not disappear in the next game, and is instead expanded upon. Because after this, I really can't go back to the way things were.

2023.06.01 23:35 Giodando 23yo, $21/hr, $35k NW—how am I doing?

Hi, everyone—I've started getting my finances in order and would appreciate any feedback you can provide. Apologies in advance for the poor formatting and long post.
EMPLOYMENT & INCOME
I'm a 23M with a bachelor's degree making $21/hr, which equates to $43,680/year ($21/hr x 2080 working hours per year) pre-tax. My biweekly post-tax/401(k) + FSA contributions paycheck is about $1,150. I also receive quarterly bonuses of about 7.5%, limited mileage reimbursement, and 15 days of PTO per year (which is used for both vacation and sick time).
My employer matches my 401(k) contributions as follows:
I'm currently contributing 6% to receive the full match (4%) and the profit share contribution (3%). This adds up to 13% of my pay being saved in my 401(k). One catch: the employer match is vested after 2 years, and I've been in this position for about 8.5 months.
NET WORTH & ASSETS
My net worth is roughly $35,000 when including all accounts and property (e.g. my vehicle). I have no debt and pay off my credit cards in full every month.
Here's a breakdown of my assets as of today (rounded for simplicity):
My car would admittedly sell for less than the KBB value due to significant cosmetic damage. I've spent a good amount on repairs in the past year, but functionally it's pretty solid now and I plan to drive it for as long as I can.
Brokerages are overweighted because of a large position in an individual stock, which I purchased when I knew less about investing. My position is down about 25% due to a high cost basis. I still believe in the company's turnaround, but I've learned my lesson about individual stock picking and my plan now is to invest only in low-cost index funds (...while keeping this position).
My intended asset allocation is:
I'll eventually add BNDW as I get older. I also want to weight VXUS higher to balance out my 100% domestic 401(k) (which does not offer great options for international exposure).
Unfortunately, my Roth IRA is currently uninvested and is just sitting in VMFXX. I'm not sure whether I should lump-sum or dollar-cost average into my desired allocation (though I've read lump-sum beats DCA 2/3 of the time).
I should mention I also think the market will go down this year, but I realize that thought is trying to time the market, so...oops.
EXPENSES
Here are my monthly expenses, averaged from the past 5 months (rounded for simplicity):
I split some expenses with my girlfriend, but what is listed here is my share + personal expenses.
The "car repairs" average is misleading—it includes registration & titling fees when I moved, windshield replacement, and engine repair. As a reference, last month I paid only $50 here.
"Health" means appointments, prescribed medicine, materials, and therapy. My lovely mom sends me $200/month for these expenses. I am contributing the yearly $3,050 maximum to my company-provided FSA, and have so far been using it to pay for health-related expenses. However (as of today) I only have $805 left for the year, so I expect to feel these expenses more in the coming months.
[Now that I've typed this out, I definitely see the -$230 monthly difference between my stated biweekly paycheck and expenses. This feels off because I end up saving every month—my personal spreadsheet shows that on average, I make $3,200/month.]
GOALS
My financial goals, in no particular order:
I would probably benefit from specifying, prioritizing, and streamlining these goals; recently I've been focusing solely on building my emergency fund.
QUESTIONS
  1. How am I doing? Even a rough temperature check is great.
  2. Are there any changes you'd make or suggest?
  3. Am I missing anything glaringly obvious, something that deserves my attention?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback or critiques you'd like to give me. I'm also ready to answer any questions if needed. Thank you in advance for your time and insights.

2023.06.01 23:35 Oracle209 [Comic Excerpt] Happy Pride! To celebrate first day here are my 3 favorite moments of Jon and his boyfriend Jay. (Superman son of Kal-El)

[Comic Excerpt] Happy Pride! To celebrate first day here are my 3 favorite moments of Jon and his boyfriend Jay. (Superman son of Kal-El)
I don’t care what the “I want Jon a kid again” says I love teen Jon and his relationship with Jay. They become one of my top 5 hero couples. And their relationship actually made me get into comics.
Son of Kal-El was the first ever comic series I read from release. It made me want to read more comics which led me to read Young Justice, and other stuff I’m really loving getting into comics more.
So I want to show appreciation for Pride Month by showing love to my favorite Lgbt heroes in DC. Starting with the ones that made me want to get into the comic side of DC.
They’re such a cute couple!!

2023.06.01 23:35 dolphinsonsaturn "He couldn't do that if he was a woman."

I work in a male-dominated industry. It's something my coworker told me about this one boss we have who is always late on everything, yet seems to be adored by higher management. I started thinking this about other coworkers, like one coworker I have who is really loud with his ideas and seen as 'smart' whereas I can never seem to get a word in. Yet I can't help but feel it's like this everywhere in my field, no matter the company.
How do I can I not be resentful of male coworkers? How do I grapple with the unfairness of how confident behavior (like pushing your ideas and not taking into account the opinions of other people) is more accepted when done by men than women? I welcome any books or resources, or personal tips that you have.

2023.06.01 23:35 MrFlac00 TheConsumer and Blind Skepticism

TLDR: TheConsumer is wrong about the CDC/FDA, he arrives at this position with basically zero evidence, and it undermines his entire conversation. He should do better, but I think he can.
Quick set up: I'm basing this post purely on this video, so if there is additional context from the stream I don't have access to it (who watches livestreams lmao). Also I don't hate this TheConsumer guy, he seems good faith and offers a different perspective in good ways, I just think his method of arriving at skepticism is flawed and this specific point is wrong. I'm also not going to talk about the SSRI's convo (as I have no background on it) nor the vaccine convo, we're gonna focus on the FDA/CDC part.
My argument is this: bad skepticism is just as bad if not worse than blind acceptance, and what TheConsumer did during the FDA/CDC conversation was bad skepticism.
Lets start with my probably flawed definition of what skepticism is: skepticism is reasonable doubt and neutral fact-seeking around certain accepted ideas. Importantly skepticism does not start from an assumption of rightness or wrongness of an idea, it requires a sufficient level of evidence one way or another. The sufficient level of evidence is also important as having too high a level makes proving something impossible, and having too low a level can lead to quickly jumping to a conclusion and accidentally biasing ourselves towards that conclusion with further analysis.
TheConsumer's first argument is much too low a level of evidence against the FDA, misinterpreting a fraud suit and rapidly extrapolating. Here's his own words at 16:03. In it TheConsumer speaks about Bextra: claiming the drug killed people, that although the FDA did catch Pfizer the FDA also approved the drug in the first place (clearly implying that this was partially on the FDA for approving the drug). So what actually happened with Bextra? Bextra (Valdecoxib) was an anti-inflammatory drug approved by the FDA in 2001, approved for "relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and adult rheumatoid arthritis and for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea".
Bextra had two issues, one got it pulled in 2005 and the other was the fraud TheConsumer mentioned. First it had more extreme symptoms than previously found, namely potentially lethal skin rash and some heart problems, and was pulled from the market in 2005. I'm not an expert on drug approval so there is stuff I might misunderstand here, but it appears FDA testing did notice rash side effects (page 20) but it was not as extreme as what got Bextra pulled. Also to note, I'm not totally familiar with the industry but from my understanding a drug being pulled in 4 years is pretty quick, especially since roll-out likely took some time after FDA approval.
The fraud suit had nothing to do with these symptoms, and was not the fault of the FDA. See the FDA approved Bextra as an anti-inflammatory drug for a specific population, but Pfizer began marketing the drug off-label to doctors as a pain medication especially post-surgery. So to be clear the huge fraud suite worth 1.9 billion dollars was due to actual fraud and due to the drug being used outside of FDA approval.
Lets get back to TheConsumer's argument then. He touts this as a "boy cried wolf" scenario where the FDA lied, but this is clearly not the truth. The fraud suit was not because the FDA lied but instead because Pfizer lied. In a scenario where the FDA was perfect and honest this situation would still proceed and Pfizer would be caught in the same way as it is not the failure of FDA regulators which caused Pfizer to sell their drugs off-label. As well Destiny's initial pushback becomes even stronger: we don't trust drugs because Pfizer is honest, we trust drugs because checks on drug companies by the FDA and other regulators who have incentives to check those companies.
"But ah", you might say, "what about when the drug got pulled in the first place and KILLED seven PEOPLE?!?!?" Yes that did happen, but here the level of evidence is important. When judging whether an institution is lying or not we need to make space for honest mistakes. My schizo-y section was trying to show whether there was evidence of a cover-up or planned incompetence, and from what I found there is no evidence of this. The FDA trials did see signs of the extreme rash in in-vivo trials but not to the degree as what came later. When evidence began mounting of a clear issue the FDA issued a clear (and at the time, viewed as slightly extreme) statement and action, pulling the drug. Again, if we assume the FDA was a totally honest actor I don't see how very different this could have played out.
To be frank, this is pretty incompetent skepticism. For one, I don't think a singular example or even a few examples of the FDA "lying" would be enough to view them as a corrupt institution. The FDA is massive and so many drugs go through their approval process every year that a couple examples in their 116 year history is nothing. But even then I could grant this line of argument if the examples are MASSIVE or at least show clear systemic fraud....and this case just fails to show anything. I would expect if you hang your hat on singular examples of fraud at the very least you would have read the wiki page.
Second, the argument of how the FDA receives funding and puts the cart well before the horse. TheConsumer states that the CDC [FDA] is clearly not able to monitor companies like Pfizer because they "take large paychecks" from the pharmaceutical industry. Beyond this statement being non-representative to the point of being basically a lie, which Destiny rightly catches him on, the more moderated position is still wrong. In it TheConsumer points out that 40% of the CDC [FDA] budget comes from the fees generated in approval of drugs. This is only partially true as he identifies total "user fees" which includes other sources of income (like Tobacco fees which generate 712 million). According to Congressional reports (this fact sheet is a bit easier to understand) only 1.224 billion of the total ~6.1 billion is from prescription drug "user fees". So ok, 20% of funding. Again, basic research showed this, did TheConsumer do any? These fees are generated from when companies put their drug up for FDA approval. As quick historical background this has only been the case since the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) in 1992.
What does this money actually do? Well it helps fund....the drug approval process. So the FDA is making money off of drug approvals to fund their other departments? I can't find modern numbers but in 2002 only half the cost of drug approval was covered by user fees, the rest was covered by discretionary funding. Presuming incentives here maybe TheConsumer could have a point, incentives could make the FDA more likely to fast-track many drugs to increase its funding. But surely we'd see consequences of this? According to this article we saw an increase from pre to post PDUFA of drugs being removed/getting different warnings post approval from 21% to 27%. That's bad from a public health standpoint, but an increase of 6% is not rabid corruption to the point where you can't trust the FDA. As well, that could be explainable from other sources, prescription drugs are complicated.
This doesn't mean that the FDA cannot be corrupt, but using actual skepticism we need more evidence than this. We should lean on, for example, reliable reporting instead. But TheConsumer doesn't do this, instead its handwaving at numbers and assuming the result.
OK lets address the 1000lb gorilla in the room, why did I hyperfocus on this one 15 second section of this one video?
The reason is this is the foundation of his point and there is no foundation. TheConsumer arrived at the FDA/CDC (because he conflates the two) being corrupt from the fact they receive funding from requiring companies to pay for drug approval, and the approval of Bextra. That's it. The former is inadequate proof of this corruption he speaks to, and the latter just isn't factually true. The lack of basic knowledge of the facts, the conflation of two wildly different agencies, the assumptions of proof; all of this points to a complete disregard of skeptical engagement. On its own this is fine but its that TheConsumer then extrapolates from this to the point where he doesn't trust FDA approval of the Covid vaccines.
I'm gonna go schizo-psychoanalyst here (so I'm making lots of assumptions), but I think this is representative of a broader issue. TheConsumer seems like a smart dude, he can engage in reasonable conversation, he took points in stride and didn't immediately jump argument the moment he received pushback, I wasn't reflexively trying to gouge my eyes out with a melon baller listening the video, overall a good 7/10 convo would watch again. Its the "I'm a jack of all trades" statement he made (that with the anti-vax adjacent language) that got me thinking because it reminds me of myself. Its very easy as a smart dude to conflate two statements together: I do rational things, I am a rational person. The former speaks to a pattern of action from oneself and the latter is identity. The problem is when we conflate the two we begin to believe that the actions we do are rational because we do it, not because the thing itself was a rational thing to do.
Frankly, TheConsumer did not do the bare minimum of research on this subject. He knows less than nothing. Yet he has established a pretty broad-reaching set of values on this nothing. I'm entirely assuming but I think TheConsumer already arrived at this conclusion, that the FDA/CDC/NIH/three letter agency are corrupt and not to be trusted, well before he had any real evidence to try to draw from. That's a problem. Its a problem that is not unique to this guy, but all of us who engage with subjects well out of our field of expertise, especially Destiny. But its not an inescapable problem and I think this video gives good lessons to learn of what not to do. I'll give credit to Destiny as much as I disagree with him at times, he does appear to have a voice which tells him to "stop, lets try to understand this better". But we all can do better.

2023.06.01 23:35 Sonics_soul Tattoo Idea & assistance on alternate tattoo idea

Tattoo Idea & assistance on alternate tattoo idea
TL:DR - sharing my tattoo idea I created & need advice on alternative design. I'm a newbie to tattoos so advice there is appreciated
Hey Coldplay fans! First time posting but long time lover of Coldplay. I'm posting here to share an idea that I've created for a tattoo I (25 M) wanted to get for a little while now. I have a very solid foundation for the idea, however I'm thinking of an alternative design to it. Also, for all the people who have tattoos, I'd like to hear your experience, tips and further advice since this will be my FIRST tattoo (more about my preference below).
The first photo is the first complete idea I came up with. There is a color and a black & white version of the tattoo. The significance is as follows: I decided on the Flower of Life symbol from the "A Head Full of Dreams" album because it is a beautiful piece of artwork and I love that the album signifies that life is beautiful & to treasure every moment you have and you can hear that through the various songs on the album. The symbols at the top say "Coloratura" in the language Coloraturan (shout-out to all the people, like myself, who bought the Limited edition Box set for MOTS). That has become my favorite song by them and it is something I want to commemorate. From a musicality standpoint, I can see the different movements in the song. It also relates to how I want to live my life: exploring new opportunities, dreaming to my heart's content and more. The bottom portion is, obviously, in reference to the album "Mylo Xyloto." It doesn't have too much significance to me other than it being one of my favorite albums and one of the first full albums I listened to fully through. I've been told it's a solid idea, however the Mylo Xyloto lettering doesn't fit the full aesthetic of the piece.
The second photo is the exact design, with the exception of Mylo Xyloto. I have more attachment to my former favorite song, "Fix You" and I would want to add that to the tattoo. Disclaimer: the circles and line are NOT going to be part of the tattoo, it is just for alignment/centering purposes. I wanted to include Fix You since I also resonate with the message it conveys: Life can be beautiful, but also daunting and you might lose yourself at times along the way. It's important to find ways to ground yourself and come back home to find yourself, and be you.
This is where you guys come in - I would love to add the words "Fix You" but would love it to be distinct to the X&Y album art style, yet still match the aesthetic of the tattoo design. If anyone has any ideas/input, please PLEASE DM me your thoughts 😁
Now, I would love to have the tattoo placed on my forearm (thought about upper arm between biceps & triceps but it can lose its original appeal overtime with muscle growth). For those that have tattoos on their inner forearm, what's the experience like? For those with color tattoos, how much more expensive is it than B&W and do you have to go for consistent touch-ups? Does color fade quicker than B&W? Once again, I AM NEW TO THIS, so any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading and taking the time to hear my idea out. This is very special to me and I am thankful for your time

2023.06.01 23:34 Ticklephoria Spellnumber Function Format Modification to Change Cents to a Fraction

I am creating a smart document for work and I would like to be able to use the spellnumber function posted Here. The code generally works with a couple modifications... (removing the underscore from Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)) , and removing the line break between "Result = Result & GetDigit _ " and "(Right(TensText, 1)) ' Retrieve ones place." will resolve the errors that the initial code has), but I need to change the format so that the number is converted to the way you might write it on a check.
For example, as the code is currently written, the number 944.02 would be converted to "Nine Hundred Forty-Four Dollars and Two Cents", instead I would like the number to be converted to "Nine Hundred Forty-Four and 02/100 Dollars"
I was able to trial and error my way to getting rid of the cents and removing the "Dollars" but I have been less successful figuring out what needs to be done to make it so that ".02" converts to "02/100 Dollars". Would anyone be able to help?
TL;DR - I would like to convert a number to text and a fraction instead of just text and can't figure out how to modify the Spellnumber code to do so.

Here is the code for further reference:
Option Explicit 'Main Function Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount. MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal place 0 if none. DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".") ' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount. If DecimalPlace > 0 Then Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)) MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1)) End If Count = 1 Do While MyNumber <> "" Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3)) If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3) Else MyNumber = "" End If Count = Count + 1 Loop Select Case Dollars Case "" Dollars = "No Dollars" Case "One" Dollars = "One Dollar" Case Else Dollars = Dollars & " Dollars" End Select Select Case Cents Case "" Cents = " and No Cents" Case "One" Cents = " and One Cent" Case Else Cents = " and " & Cents & " Cents" End Select SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents End Function ' Converts a number from 100-999 into text Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Result As String If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3) ' Convert the hundreds place. If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred " End If ' Convert the tens and ones place. If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2)) Else Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3)) End If GetHundreds = Result End Function ' Converts a number from 10 to 99 into text. Function GetTens(TensText) Dim Result As String Result = "" ' Null out the temporary function value. If Val(Left(TensText, 1)) = 1 Then ' If value between 10-19... Select Case Val(TensText) Case 10: Result = "Ten" Case 11: Result = "Eleven" Case 12: Result = "Twelve" Case 13: Result = "Thirteen" Case 14: Result = "Fourteen" Case 15: Result = "Fifteen" Case 16: Result = "Sixteen" Case 17: Result = "Seventeen" Case 18: Result = "Eighteen" Case 19: Result = "Nineteen" Case Else End Select Else ' If value between 20-99... Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1)) Case 2: Result = "Twenty " Case 3: Result = "Thirty " Case 4: Result = "Forty " Case 5: Result = "Fifty " Case 6: Result = "Sixty " Case 7: Result = "Seventy " Case 8: Result = "Eighty " Case 9: Result = "Ninety " Case Else End Select Result = Result & GetDigit _ (Right(TensText, 1)) ' Retrieve ones place. End If GetTens = Result End Function ' Converts a number from 1 to 9 into text. Function GetDigit(Digit) Select Case Val(Digit) Case 1: GetDigit = "One" Case 2: GetDigit = "Two" Case 3: GetDigit = "Three" Case 4: GetDigit = "Four" Case 5: GetDigit = "Five" Case 6: GetDigit = "Six" Case 7: GetDigit = "Seven" Case 8: GetDigit = "Eight" Case 9: GetDigit = "Nine" Case Else: GetDigit = "" End Select End Function

2023.06.01 23:34 LivinLivinboi Finished EP06, My theory before EP07

Well I think Shannon = Kanon = Beatrice which honestly I think is the most common conclusion of those who read this episode. I got that Shannon = Beatrice since EP04 when Beatrice appeared to Battler and started using some cheesy English phrases that we know Battler used to use 6 years ago and flirted with her once with. Her being Kanon was something that I thought about but quickly dismissed and did not think about it until the 16 people reveal, like damn I'm so dense I didn't get it in the duel like it was very clear. Now I think I can explain many crimes with the reasoning of Jessica dead = Kanon dead, and when George = Dead Shannon is dead, and Beatrice can only die when Battler dies, thus she can finally rest.
As for the culprit I think it is Kyrie. I don't think she is Beatrice, basically I'm saying I don't think Beatrice = the culprit. Without love it cannot be seen, isn't the first thing you do for someone you love to try at least to prove their innocence? I know there were some instances where Beatrice said she killed, but honestly, I think most characters are also killers due to manipulation or being forced to do such things by threatening someone they love, again without love it cannot be seen. Battler sin affected both Beatrice and Kyrie, he abandoned both 6 years ago and not only Beatrice. Battler is definitely Kyrie's son. My theory is that Asumu's child was stillborn, and Kyrie's child was taken from her the hide the fact of an illegitimate son. When she got pregnant with Ange, she knew she would lose another child so she killed Asumu, and when finally she was going to be reunited with her son, he just didn't give a shit about her and abandoned her six years ago. Therefore she decided to take back what was taken from her with interest. She discovered Shannon/kanon/Beatrice thing and exploited it and forced them to write letters/ do things for her, threatening them to reveal their secret to the family/lovers. Beatrice was a victim and just a piece in this game.
I will be back here after reading episodes 7&8 to see what I got right, so see you then, I'm having the time of my life reading this novel lol

2023.06.01 23:33 RestaurantFuzzy800 AITH because I won't force my kids to be around my MIA

I know the title of this may sound like I'm the AH here but here me out. My MIA (Mother in law) is not a good person at all and abandoned my husband (her son) with his father (her ex they were never married) when he was five and never reached out to him until he was in his early 20s, by this time we already had two children and she wanted to get to know them and her son. I was fine with this but the problems started when we moved to the same state so the kids could really get to know her. It started out fine. She was for a time a loving grandmother and mother until she wasn't. The issues started when she was watching the children for us while we were both working and yes she was being paid for it. It all started with small things like not feeding them when they were in her care to throwing away their toys when they forgot to pick them up at the time of that instant the kids were 3 and 4 years old. She later started to threaten them and when I confronted her about her threats she threatened me. We eventually went no contact with her and she decided to get her brother involved who also made threats and yes I have screenshots of all of it and we've been no contact with her for three years. Here's where I may be the AH... This year she reached out and wanted to send the kids birthday gifts and I told her no because I asked the kids who are 12 and 13 now and they said they wanted nothing to do with her because they remember everything she said and did. So I'm wanting to know am I the AH because I refuse to force the kids to be around her?

2023.06.01 23:33 Nvisverbeel Deep breaths and urge to cry after eating?

I get a sudden urge to cry when I finish a big meal, its not all the time but enough to annoy me lol If I'm eating by myself then ill just let myself cry but in public if I can't hold it in I usually end up taking these big breaths in and then the feeling passes. I think it gets worse the more I try to eat, tho it tends to only happen when I am full, I don't think it happens with snacks? Unless I'm over snacking lol
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar thing? My current theory is that its a form of deregulation (I hope that's the right word) after overstimulation from eating too much. Oh it's also a fairly new thing as in it probably started happening when I realised I probably have autism (self diagnosed) and thus started to try to unmask, but it's also came at a time when I was making myself eat more in an attempt to gain weight so maybe ira got something to do with that? I dunno this became a bit more of a ramble than I expected lol

2023.06.01 23:32 improvisedbain-marie How do you feel about the takeout part of the game? Why is the investment-to-reward ratio so much worse than for everything else?

[Long post warning! I'm mostly just curious if other people have found this perplexing as well. This is not a complaint, but a genuine mystery to me. What is the biggest advantage of the takeout section that I'm not grasping?! Does it feel truly worthwhile to anyone?]
More detail: Is it just me, or does it seem like the whole takeout experience requires exponentially greater investment than every other part of the game, while giving especially disappointing returns? I'm confused by why the creators made it like this. It just seems like relatively terrible value-for-resources, and takes a lot of resources. So I'm curious to hear the experiences of people who actually find the takeout section really fun and rewarding (if you do, kindly explain what's appealing to you!), or if there are other people who share my thoughts and feelings about this.
To break down the cons in my mind:
TAKEOUT DEMANDS
TAKEOUT "REWARDS"
Now, if we compare...
COURTYARD
TERRACE
BUFFET
REGULAR RESTAURANT
In conclusion:
I understand why some people love the courtyard and terrace; I find the courtyard especially fun with so many different options for facilities and different methods of investing to get greater rewards, but I truly can't make sense of this takeout business... What am I missing? Why do they want us to invest so much just to get so little back? Is there going to be a secret massive prize at the end that isn't clear to us now?! And yes, I do realize I can just stop fulfilling takeout orders if this part of the game doesn't make sense to me, and I have started to fulfill them less often, but I'm just confused at the thought process behind it, the motivation to continue using it, and what the point is supposed to be...
If anyone actually read through all of this, thank you, you are a champ!

2023.06.01 23:31 Neither_Telephone_66 Does he like me or is he just an ungoing person?

Hello I need help to know if he likes me or not. Taking into account that my experience is zero, this situation keeps bothering me.
Basically I haven't paid much attention to him until now, probably because of anxiety and depression. But this last month I've started to notice him and he does things that makes me think he likes me but I'm not entirely sure.
To contextualize we are in the same class but there are many people, also he's two years older than me. At the beginning of the course we never spoke, but when we walk acrossed each other he smiled at me showing his teeth. After Christmas he joined my group for a subject assignment. In February we had to go somewhere for this assigment and I got to know him a bit better. Two months passed by and it wasn't until the end of April that I got to know him better and began to ask myself if he liked me. These are the things that he does that make me ask my self if he likes me:
- He smiled at me when we passed each other.
- I have caught him several times looking at me
-His feet pointed towards me on different occasions
- one day he seriously asked me if I was okay and kept eye contact for more than a minute because he wanted to know how I felt
- The penultimate day of class he took and changed places in class and sat at my table but in the corner (the tables are four and rectangular so i he was in the 1st spot, 2nd and 3rd where empty and i was on the 4th place), this confused me a lot because it didn't make sense for him to change places because never before had, plus he sat at the other side of the class. Eveen the teacher asked him why he changed places.
- He also speaks to me sometimes with the deeper voice
-I also told him some gossip and he was very interested
- doing the task that I mentioned before, I went to lie down on the grass and he came and lay down with me and he began to take photos and I think I was on the background
- He told me about his insecurity (tell me what straight man tells that to someone) and we mutually told each other about some traumas
- physical contact: when I left a place I was with my cell phone and to prevent me from falling he grabbed my hip for a second. And then the day of the presentation of our work when we finished we sat together and from time to time our feet collided and stayed together for a few seconds.Also, his whole body pointed towards me.
-He also congratulate me when he finished presenting
-he asked me for request on instagram with both his main and secondary accounts and he also asked me for a request on BeReal
- I opened the best friends section on insta and he liked the story, he has already liked two more stories and the other day he responded to one with the word "HIT" because of the song I posted and we had a little conversation even though he is currently on a trip.
- He says things that make me laugh
- I have caught him several times looking at me
-I scolded him because he mispronounced my name and he began to pronounce it correctly and he began to call me by my nickname
- He asked me with his friend if my friend liked him and I told him no, and he told his friend "i've told you we're just friends"
But he does things that confuse me, like in general he is a very outgoing person and he makes me doubt if he is like this with everyone and it is simply all my imagination.
Onto things that made me dougth:
Then at the beginning of May when I wrote to him he would take hours / days to answer me and sometimes he didn't even answer me. He also told me about his ex.
To finish the next course I'm going to study abroad and I told him and there was indifference.
So my question is:
Does he like me or being an extroverted person is he like that with everyone? What I do? How can i know?
Classes had finished so I don't know when am I going to se him again.
Thank u for reading <3

Topology issue
So I’m modelling an alien with reference images. Started off with a plane and extruded to make a 2D outline of the body. Moving onto 3d, I want to extrude outwards to make the jaw/forehead and extrude the same points backwards to make the back of head. When I extrude frontways, the vertices of outline extrude fine but there aren’t any faces now where they were originally (became the front instead of middle). How can I go about this to get the back of the head?
Worded that the best way I can

2023.06.01 23:31 Oddly_Dreamer Is my laptop possessed?

I bought an HP ProBook 450 G0 on my first year at uni, and I'm pretty much positive that it was faulty when I got it, but it was cool and all till my second year when I started hearing beeping sounds whenever I plug in my headphones "wasn't obvious without it because I always keep my volume low" but it was harmless, so I ignored it.
On my third year, that beeping sound "more like dotting sound" started to appear more often, and it was accompanied with random pressing on the keyboard, but it wasn't until my fourth year that it started to get really annoying because it kept writing letters and doing commands that might ruin my work.
I freaked out, thought it was a virus due to accessing shady websites to do my research "even though I had ESET NOD32 installed" and decided to do a fresh installation of Windows, and voila! It worked like magic! My laptop was back to being fully functioning, and I was able to do my work seamlessly.
Apparently though, the spell wasn't that powerful, because in the following years, I had to do 2 more installs of Windows -each install would last a year or two maximum- and the latest one was last year when all hope was lost, and the beeping started at powerup, before I even get inside Windows, and the random pressing happened straight after I logged in. Following a restart, I'm greeted by Windows blue screen where I can only access safe mode.
Now, while I'm in safe mode, no beeping happens. No random commands. Peaceful environment. HEAVEN.
I went to an official HP support center where they told me "oh, your touchpad is faulty, we're gonna replace it, and you're gonna pay 90% of the laptop's original price." Like, my dude, it was just missing a driver, not physically damaged. Sigh. BESIDES, that's not even the main problem?
But anyway, I took it to a local repair center where they suspected it might be a faulty keyboard. I disconnected the keyboard and the problem remained -I don't have anything else plugged in at this point. No Bluetooth devices whatsoever- And the thing is, whatever that's happening, doesn't necessary happen ALL the time. Like, you can literally have it open for a whole day and it will behave, or it can go wrong once you press on the power button. The guy there advised that my motherboard needs to be "washed" by a certain liquid, and I won't lie, I was extremely skeptical so I said no and took it back home. Another tech guy said to leave the laptop so he can try replacing each part to see which of them is causing the issue, but I wouldn't trust him to not replace my original parts with something else. The HP support forum online was also useless.
Since Windows refused to open again, I installed Chrome OS Flex, and now I don't hear the "beeping" but the random pressing still insists to continue bothering me. The laptop is now 10 years old, and I wouldn't say that I'm a heavy user, but I have seen laptops in worse shape than mine and it can function? I haven't opened it until very recently to lend my dad it's 2 GB RAM since I don't use it that often anymore -and it still works with 4 GB of RAM. I only use it for casual browsing or file storing since it has 700 GB worth of hard disk space- I haven't replaced any of its original components. It didn't fall, I didn't spill water on it, not even a scratch on the surface.
It might not be possessed, but I know it's a hardware issue. I just can't locate which part is faulty. Your insight on the matter would be helpful! Thanks in advance!

2023.06.01 23:29 iliaswac Imu’s actions

Most people think that Im is being secretive about her own existence and is evil and that she wanted cobra dead … what if this is just the impression we got? In the latest chapter, we have seen the shadows attacking cobra and sabo. I don’t think Im had anything to do with that, these were just the five elders. Plus, when cobra asked her questions, she started answering on the spot. She didn’t even try to give ambiguous messages etc, and it seemed like the D is the only thing that bothers her. So what if the gorosei is after all the true head of the WG, and a re just hiding Im from the world?what if the scene where they were seen bowing to Im was only because of her knowledge on or access to or being herself an ancient weapon? Cobra and Sabo aren’t Ds so she didn’t try to attack them. Another possibility could be that she isn’t even strong, like in a 1v1 fight. What she did with lulucia was just an ancient weapon What do you think?

2023.06.01 23:29 GaySockPuppet Telling my WS my feelings

D-Day was 22 days ago and it's been a whirlwind of emotions for me. My spouse is doing all the right things--answered all my questions about the affair, we're in couples' counseling and doing all the homework, really processing emotions and cognitions together.
But I haven't really expressed all my feelings. I did write a letter naming all the emotions I'm feeling and describing the associated thoughts and obsessions. I'm wondering if it's appropriate to read this letter to my spouse.
My spouse has been very remorseful, expresses feelings of guilt regularly, and also holds space for me to talk about what I'm going through. I worry that this letter may feel devastating as I don't mince words about the state of my emotions.
I'd appreciate any advice from both perspectives. I want this letter to be helpful so my spouse understands what the consequences were for my mental health. But my intention is not to punish my spouse with unkind words. Is there a better way to go about this?
Thanks all.
