Hey all,
​
While watching last night, I randomly thought of a CJ line, I think from an earlier season. I forget who she's talking to (maybe Danny?) but she yells at him something along the lines of, "The Chief of Staff gets to yell at me, not you!".
​
For the life of me, I cannot remember the episode or what it was in reference to.

I see this standard thrown around a lot. My question is with what weight? I get that the rucks are fucking heavy at SFAS. But when people quote this standard are we talking about with a 35 pound dry or what. Did a 5x5 workout last night (ruck 5, run 5). For the ruck my pace was 14:45. I was pretty disappointed in my speed until I weighed my Ruck. It was 75 pounds plus carrying a 10 pound sledge. Obviously that’s too heavy for training, but I like to hit benchmarks given by those that know. So sub 2:30 ruck with what weight?

currently hospitalized right now and i have never physically felt healthier and it’s been a few weeks and i have been dying to leave this inpatient but the only thing holding me back is my heart rate at night when sleeping. during the day it has improved a lot from the nutrition i have been getting (went from 42 to now a stable 55-60) but my sleeping heart rate is still 30. it’s frustrating because this is what is holding me back from discharge and i feel as if there is nothing i can do to change it. i understand that some things may take longer then others in recovery, but i’m miserable here and i don’t want to miss my high-school graduation and all of these important events i have in the next few weeks just because my heart rate is low when i’m asleep.
i also don’t know how much longer i can sit in bed and force these hospital meals down🫡 recovery is hard but if it’s what gets me out of here then i will do anything.

As the saying goes "gays know how to party and lesbians make good quiet reading partners." Whether going out for a night on the town or a day at the library enjoying AC in hundred degree heat, it would be cool if the lgbt community adopted cartoon character mascots to further the gay agenda. Plunging this country further into a Sodom of drag clubs and Gomorrah of boutique bookstores.
Some mascots I thought up include:

Hi All, As the title suggests I've never had a one night stand and I've always wondered how it felt to go on a date with someone, have fun and leave to just cuddel that same night. The frivolous and nature of it makes me feel anxious but excited at the prospect but I've always been too careful. I've often been told I'm successful with the ladies but this has always been something that I've unfortunately not been able to experience and being a long time redditor, I thought I might turn to reddit to fulfil a long term desire. If you're feel equally curious or would like a ONS trifle, please feel free to drop me a line and I promise a lovely lavish date 😘

Hi,
First and foremost, lets all agree that biriyani should be declared as the national food.
Am a pvt sector employee in the morning, gamer at night.
Basically a mallu, settled in Hyd.

The concept of a low gravity world for an epic science fiction/ fantasy setting is very appealing. The idea of enormously tall trees and buildings - their size made possible by lower gravitational stress, as well as the possibility of people leaping among them is just such a cool image.
The idea of people being growing tall and then while becoming too weak to do is is considerably less appealing. As is the likelihood of such a world being unable to support a stable atmosphere, at which point everyone would suffocate.
So - I've been doing some digging - researching planetary physics for solutions. One that's come up is the possibility of an oval shaped planet - it's shape caused by rapid spinning. The idea I had is that, the closer you get to the poles, the stronger gravity gets.
But... I'd really like to figure out some other possibilities and I was hoping to get some insight. One image I love is for there to be some sort of "gravity storm" effect - something that moves around the surface of the planet and causes things to float around. Or maybe some sort of tidal force that diminishes the effects of gravity at certain times.
The world I'm using this for uses sci-fi elements to simulate fantasy elements. This means I'd like to stay away from anything that blatantly violates the laws of physics. (Basically, it's a world in which Elves are the natives of an alien world and humans are the colonists, and technology is so poorly understood that it appears to be "magical"- being governed by a powerful AI that is basically god.)

Hawkeye

"Clint. You should not be here."
"Really? I retire for, what, five minutes and it all goes to shit."

Clint Barton worked as one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents for a number of years under the codename Hawkeye, being put on various assignments from keeping an eye on notable items like Mjolnir and the Tesseract to the mysterious Budapest mission where he recruit Natasha Romanov to S.H.I.E.L.D.. These experiences led to him becoming a founding member of the Avengers despite his own claims of just being a regular guy with a bow. Hawkeye worked with the Avengers for several years, from Ultron's attack to the superhero civil war that saw the group falling apart at the seams. However, his life as he knew it was snatched away after the invasion of Thanos, which saw 50% of all life in the universe being erased including Hawkeye's entire family. Hawkeye took up the alias of Ronin, a vigilante that roamed the globe in a vengeful rampage to kill the many criminals that had survived Thanos' snap. He eventually rejoined the Avengers after they discovered a way to bring back everyone that had been erased, but the guilt from what he had done as a result of his grief still weighed on him even after his family had been brought back. It wasn't until he met his future protégé Kate Bishop that Clint's faith in himself and his efforts as a superhero were restored.

"Nice shot."

Just for context: I've been dating this girl for a little over 5 months now. I didn't know her very long before we dated. She was friends with some girls, and a guy in that friend group (Note: this friendgroup existed before I knew her, and she had a boyfriend at that time.). I'll call that guy friend of the group Sam. Sam was no good to me from the second I interacted with him. I didn't really talk much with my girl about him, but I knew he wasn't worth hanging out with. We are in the same school, and so is the entirety of the friendgroup. I was having a bit of struggles with my friends, so I was with her every lunchbreak at school. None of her friends liked me whatsoever, but Sam.. he was the worst. I don't know what I did to him in his eyes, but he couldn't stand me. Constantly insulting me, though I didn't do anything. I am a year older than he is, and I'm 1 foot taller. I am not really offensive physically speaking at all, but I can be pretty tough with my words sometimes if you know what I mean. I eventually asked my girlfriend about her past with both that friendgroup and herself. That was where things got bad. She told me that she was really depressed before she met me. She was getting treated like crap by everyone, but she was just following the group so that she wouldn't get bullied by literally everyone. She was pressured a lot of times to do things fowith the group, and especially by Sam. Sam, partially, made her smoke, vape, and even do drugs. She got an addiction to cannabis because of it. Now, this isn't completely by him, her depression was a factor as well, of course. But the depression came from the loneliness and getting used by everyone she had, which was hardly anyone.. And the group pressure made her do the drugs and smoking. She cried that night when telling me all of this, and I was just taking care of her and cheered her up. As stupid as I am, I didn't do anything about it. Life went on, everything was just normal and I didn't act like it ever happened(I am so mad at myself for that by the way). But that was nothing. I don't know why it was, but I wasn't present at school some day, probably for being sick. And she went to the city center with these fake friends that exact day. They do that more often, just messing around and buying random stuff. But this time, they saw a store with al kinds of scented candles and incenses. One of them contained cannabis. And well, guess what happened.. group pressure, couldn't resist buying it because of the addiction. Then, they put it on, and my girlfriend went right above it and sniffed it all. And Sam, recorded her while being high. She even said; "Who is [My name]?" Those words were one of the most painful ones I've ever heard. When I knew the context of it afterwards, I was furious. But, I didn't do much again, the scared little weakling that I am.. I threatened him, that's all. Didn't do anything else. I am so so mad at myself for this to this day. I hated him so much. On the other hand, I have absolutely no clue why she didn't block him and just hang out with me only, because she knew they were bad for her and I wasn't, because I care about her the most out of everyone. I don't blame her though, you'll get made fun of being a hallway couple. This was a few months back. Skipping to present now, I've got a new friendgroup, and I sit with this every break now. Me and my girl still have a lot of contact, but less in school. Today something happened, I can't even describe my emotions, and this is why I'm out here. So, I was home sick today, and my girlfriend was in school, hanging out with that group. I had a fever so I was really feeling weak and couldn't do much, so I went back to sleep at around 10am. I woke up at 12:30 to get a text, sent 3m before I woke up, saying: "Hey my love, I probably have a concussion. My parents are coming to pick me up from school now We go to the doctor and probably then the hospital. I'll explain later what happened." I was freaking out. I was panicking so much, it felt like my fever was gone entirely. 10 minutes later she cleared things up for me over text. You all thought everything that I just wrote was insane? Read this. She said: "So, with [names of everyone of the friend group, including Sam], I went to McDonald's during my lunchbreak (we have a McDonald's 3 minutes away from our school, so it's actually possible). I hopped on the back of Sam's bike for the way back, because we were in a bit of a hurry. But Sam, Sam smeared the fat he had on his hands on the back of the bike where I was gonna hold my hands on purpose so I was gonna have less grip. He was cycling like an idiot, moving a lot, probably trying to make me fall off. I thought it was a joke at that moment. Then he made a stupidly sharp turn, knocking me off the bike, hitting my head really hard on the ground. I was laying there, with an intense amount of pain, and he just laughed at me and cycled away to school. Despite all my emotions, I walked back to school. Alteast, tried. I saw black on my way back and I puked. We're on our way to the doctor now, I'm not feeling well at all..." That son of a b. What is wrong with him. I was furious, he has done so much shit to her, but this time, I don't think I'll let it slide. I texted him: "What the f is wrong with you? What was the point of that? you're gone tomorrow if you don't stay the f away from us for the rest of your life and apologize to both of us after getting hit in the face." He went way too far. She was in the hospital all day. Luckily no real damage for her at all, nothing to worry about, she is okay now. But still. I don't know what to do. That message might have been a little too tough for what I'll actually do, because I know I'm just some weakling who never had a serious fight before (I still am a million percent sure I can beat him). But this is such a difficult position for me, I don't know what to do. The smearing fat and laughing at her falling is so fucked up. I think that it's enough to go to the police with this, but it wasn't my situation, I wasn't present this day. Tomorrow I'm going to school and probably gonna see him. What do I do? Do I beat him up? Do I tell my gf do report him to the police? Please help. Thank you all for reading this.

When did people stop sleeping with their leg elevated? I am almost 5 weeks post ankle ORIF surgery now and still do this, almost as if by habit. However, I imagine my hamstring will start getting very tight due to this.
Thanks!

I was in Thailand for 45 days and was able to not smoke for the longest period in 3 years. I was journaling, saving money, working hard and living my ideal life. I was so proud of myself for going so long without it, and not struggling to do so either. While I was there, the little voice in my head that constantly nagged me to smoke weed was quiet because I was so focused on my travels, moving from city to city. Now I'm back at home and normal life, and I've gotten back into the daily nightly routine of smoking, eating dinner, chilling, and then going to bed. My depression is worse than ever.
I know quitting will help with reclaiming my life again and not numbing now I feel, and honestly, I don't even like the feeling of vaping or smoking anymore because of the taste and anxiety, but the little voice in my head that says I need weed is so loud that I forget why I don't even like it in the first place when I don’t have it. Then, when l cave in and smoke, my high thoughts are filled with regret. When I’m sober, it's hard to remember those moments of regret because my addiction takes up so many of my thoughts, it’s hard to shut them out. It’s the worst on Friday nights and the weekend because I’ve come to associate free time with my smoking routine of buying take out and getting blazed until 3am. It doesn’t help that there are multiple weed shops within a 2km radius, and I have to walk past two every time I want to go for a walk.
Any tips, tricks, habit hacking or resources i can watch, listen or read that can help shut this voice up? First step is to not have something to tempt me, so I threw out my last carton and let my vape battery die. Decoupling my neural association with rest/free time, weed, and my safe space in my room is something I struggle with.
Research based hacks or anecdotal references are highly encouraged. Willpower is finite, so any tips on how to to keep me on track without having to think too hard is also what I’m looking for.
Today is day one, and hopefully the last “day one” I’ll have to endure. Let me know if you struggle with this too! '

Hey NYC!
So i've decided to host another bar crawl tonight after how many people popped put to the last one, and how much fun last weekend was.
Last weekends bar crawl was a blast and i met some great people so I'm hoping for the same turnout tonight as well.
Us: group of friends/coworkers in our early to late 20's trying to enjoy the summer and nightlife while it lasts
You: also in your early 20s to mid 30s looking for a good group of both friends and strangers to meet, mingle and have a good time.
Where: Starting at hair of the dog at around 8pm.
When: 8 or 9pm Friday 6/2
This time we'll be hitting the LES area. We'll start with the Hair of the dog, get some games and drinks in and wait for everyone to meet up.
From there we'll possibly hit a karaoke bar and end the night at club for those who want to stay out later.
Looking forward to another great night.

This might be a little long and boring sorry but I need help! For some context I'm 16 years old with like most of you a list of complications longer than my arm. My main problem is my period. It's 21 days and has me vommiting and passing out and has ruined my life. I've been dealing with abnormally severe periods since I was 9. The past two years my school attendance has been under 20%.
I love school unlike most kids. And I feel pretty caged by my body and even though I try not to, I sometimes wonder what I would be doing now if I wasn't sick. How much more accomplished I'd be and how average I'd be at the same time. I want to be an Innocent teenage girl like most.
I've been working for almost a year on a passion project doing research and advocating for teenage care in my country. I've completed and I also did my first year of part time college. I am doing a course in women's health. I want to leave here and go to somewhere with an ivy League school. I've got dreams and ambitions. I don't mean this in a conceited way but I feel like my intelligence is wasted in such a broken body.
I've been trying to get up and do things on bad days. Even if it means crawling around the floor for five minutes. But I just don't know what to do with myself now. I'm at a point where I'm waiting to hear back from people for my project. I can't seem to focus on reading. I don't like TV but I feel so bored. I'm stuck staring at the white walls of my room not wanting to be stuck to my phone. Not wanting to sleep all the time.
So what do you guys do on days where you can't get out of bed. Because I just want to feel productive and not like I'm wasting away my teenage life being nothing more than a sick kid.

For one: Last night I had to go to the ER for severe back pain caused by an untreated UTI, (gone on for 2 weeks) with my husband, who is born and raised in Latin America and has never been to the ER.
The entire time he kept lecturing me about not having taken the antibiotics I was prescribed and why didn't I choose another place and asked for an earlier appointment (gyno) and throwing his hands up saying this is going to cost us a fortune and shaking his head and just being really overly stressful in that moment. Please understand they had not given me any pain medication yet so I was still very much in pain. I had told him I acknowledge the fact that I could've urgently asked to be seen, or sought m treatment somewhere else but I really didn't think it was going to turn into a kidney infection. He continued to lecture me.
This went on until I completely stopped engaging (at no point did I snap or anything) but this made him go, "I'm sorry" and he did show compassion but then just kept doing it a little while later, just less aggressive. He also kept saying it's probably nothing serious and I could've just waited until tomorrow to see my gyno but I don't know if gynos treat kidney infection?? Also I didn't know how serious it was since I had excruciating back pain.
The tests came back and they showed the start of a pretty bad kidney infection.They gave me pain meds and sent me home with stronger antibiotics.
By the end I couldn't even stand to look at him. I understand it didn't have to get to that point but lecturing me about money while I am in extreme pain is stressful. I know the ER is expensive, but I didn't understand why he thought reprimanding me over and over was going to help at all. All it did was stress me out more.
We came home around 2:30 AM I was starving and started making food and he just sat there and didn't even offer to help. This morning he's been all sweet and affectionate and I just can't reciprocate.
He was being kind and holding my hand in the waiting room and then once we saw that they were going to continue to bill us he got extremely angry, bc I could have told them that I refused to keep getting charged and left. and I snapped to which he snapped back and I just couldn't believe I was having that type of conversation in the EMERGENCY ROOM with my HUSBAND.
The complaining part is very like him, he is a huge complainer but not when I'm in pain. He is usually so kind and understanding and helpful, i.e when I'm on my period. But this is unlike him. I'm finding it really hard to get over.
And two: I know he values his family but I had no idea how much because we are furniture shopping and he wants us to buy a sofa bed (without having even discussed it with me) to host his family (in the future) that lives in LATAM. and when I asked for how long he suggested 3 weeks. And then he got SUPER upset like a child would, when I said that's too long.
To be clear: he has not invited his family to stay with us at all. He just assumed we would be buying the sofa bed and they would be staying with us.
I don't have an issue ever hosting his family. I have an issue with the fact that he just assumed that it would happen, and that it would be for that long, AND when I tried to question it, he got angry with me, even though he hadn't ever even talked to me about it before.
And I don't know to what extent he values his family but it seems that he values them over me and if that's the case I don't share that view.. I'm just worried bc I had many reservations towards marriage and this was one of them, not feeling like we had gone through enough things together to really know what the person is like/would react. This isn't even about choosing your person no matter what, or unconditional love. This is, IS this person SAFE for me and will they CONTINUE to be in stressful or otherwise conflicting situations? I'm not feeling that way right now.

One thing I love about Muse is that all 9 albums have a distinct feel to them, but their 9th album is kindof a mash up of their previous albums styles. Which songs from WOTP do you think best match their previous albums?

1. Will of the People (Will of the People) This song feels the most “new sounding” for lack of a better word. While thematically it could fit easily with a couple of their albums, I think it’s sound is pretty original and it fits perfect as this albums opener.
   
2. Compliance (The 2nd Law) some light synth-y vibes to it that this album has and tonally and thematically feels like it would fit in T2L pretty well.
   
3. Liberation (The Resistance) Very Queen-like and fits with a lot of the lyrics of this album. Also reminds me of United States of Eurasia.
   
4. Won’t Stand Down (Black Holes and Revelations) This one gave me the most trouble for which album it best correlates to, but I feel BHaR feels the most right for this song. It has that “out there” sound that BHaR has, I feel like this track would fit great playing right after City of Delusion.
   
5. Ghosts (Showbiz) This one I feel like it sounds like something from the Showbiz era, it has a melancholic vibe to it that feels like it could’ve been one of their slower songs on this album.
   
6. You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween (Simulation Theory) with its synth-y sound and Halloween theme, this would fit very nicely on Simulation Theory’s sci-fi/fantasy vibe.
   
7. Kill or Be Killed (Drones) The hard rock of this song and also lyrically sound like it could fit easily somewhere in Drones.
   
8. Verona (Showbiz) This song sounds like one of their earlier tracks from the Showbiz era. this song reminds me of Unintended and would fit seamlessly on this album.
   
9. Euphoria (Origin of Symmetry) This song sounds like one of their earlier songs but right at the time when they were starting to get really experimental like they did with OoS. I can picture this playing on the back half of this album.
   
10. We Are Fucking Fucked (Absolution) this feels like it could’ve been on that album, not only with its sound but its lyrics also with its apocalyptic theme and all.
    

Anyway this is my assessment of these songs, do you agree or not? What albums do you think best correlate to these songs?

So for context I am a guy in his early (almost mid) 20s, and my now gf of a couple months is also in her early 20s. A few weeks ago her and I were talking about weird encounters, and I told her about this swinging couple my family and I ran into on the river during the 4th of July last year. I told her it was weird and funny, and this couple was adamant on having me join them since I'm a younger decent looking and fit guy. I told her it was funny, but I wouldn't do anything like that, and I definitely wouldn't have a threesome. Whether it be with another guy and one girl or 2 girls and myself I wouldn't do it. She then replies by saying "I've thought about it and I would" and I kinda stopped and said "well since you're bi, I'm assuming you mean with another girl and a guy" then she says "no with 2 guys, I don't like butt stuff but before I would have done it"
Now maybe this is just me but I was pretty stunned. It also made me feel pretty disgusted and grossed out. I honestly didn't say much to her, and she could tell I was pretty upset by it. I know everyone has fantasies and kinks, but one that's always unsettled me and made me grossed out is a girl being turned on or enjoying more than one guy at a time.
For more context we already haven't had a great sexual relationship since being together. I'm not very sexually hyperactive these days because I have some medical issues going on that I have to see a doctor for and determine what the cause is. Some days I'm really in the mood, other days I'm absolutely not and so I have to see a urologist soon. She's also claimed she's never finished with someone, so for the first two months we were together every single day and night I tried and tried and tried to get her off. We used her toys, we tried different positions, we tried everything and she can't. It's gotten to the point where I've expressed that I feel as if I'm the issue. I know it's hard to get women to finish, but I've never been with a girl who I didn't eventually get her to finish. Granted in the past 7 months my confidence has gone down, but it's just to the point where she seems very frustrated. Not only can she not finish after hours of us trying but also ever since that comment about her wanting to do a threesome it's like all feelings, and all sexual attraction to her has gone away. Maybe it's wrong of me, and she specified it was before me that she wanted to, but deep down I feel as if that's something she wants to experience and I can't get that image of her doing that out of my head, to the point where I get frustrated and tell her to stop kissing me or trying to do other things to keep us from having sex. Am I wrong for this or am I justified in feeling this way?

Weird post but I’m fishing for a Full Moon Fish in Donald’s Dreamland and at the same time caught my first Devil Ray last night. I started playing like 30 minutes ago and maybe have gone through at most 20 buckets but have caught 5 Devil Rays! What are even the odds on that.

Some, but not all of my wishlist or games similar to those on my wishlist :) https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198085823458/#sort=order
I won't do PayPal, but will consider trading steam gift cards for my games (I will not buy with gift cards, but I may sell).

Hi there! I'd like to develop a close, supportive friendship based around emotional connection and quality time spent together. Some things I enjoy doing with others include playing video games, watching or listening to things, and having substantial conversations. I'm queer, trans, and only really comfortable talking with women or people who identify more with femininity. I struggle with mental illness, but it's something I'm actively working on. Please keep reading for the details!

Things I Like

Games
I've had a lot of fun with sandbox/survival games like ARK, Minecraft, No Man's Sky, and Conan Exiles. I like exploring interesting landscapes and building nice things here and there. Emotionally, I feel very attached to games like KotOR, Dragon Age: Origins, and BioShock Infinite. The characters and immersion stand out a lot for me. I really love all things Pokemon though the last game I played was HeartGold. I'm especially looking forward to playing Legends: Arceus one day. Civilization in its later iterations is something of a comfort game for me. Hm, I've played a couple of games that might be considered Soulslike and enjoyed them somewhat. I have had some fun with MMORPGs in the past. Tabletop Simulator is always nice for some of the variety it offers. I've noticed that I often tend to obsess over a game for a few weeks at most until I move on to the next one. But I also go back to games I love over time.
Stuff to Watch
I think there's a pretty wide range that I can enjoy as far as movies go. If I had to pick, my top two genres are probably fantasy and sci-fi. I like documentaries about topics like nature, space, and history (or sometimes just informative YouTube videos about fictional universes). In general, I prefer animation. Several Ghibli films are among my favorites so far. I'm also interested in anime overall, but I haven't seen very much yet.
Stuff to Listen to
Musically, it varies a bit these days. I grew up with classic rock, then discovered pop punk/emo as a teenager. Since then, I've developed some appreciation for indie and metal through friends. I also enjoy instrumental rock sometimes. Maybe I just like the sound of guitars. I gravitate toward songs that make me feel strong emotions or like I could be somewhere else entirely. It's nice to be introduced to new things too.
Other Stuff
My most lasting interests tend to be those I latched onto as a bookworm when I was younger (things like Pokemon, natural history, marine biology, space, Star Wars, dragons and mythical creatures, magic, mythology, anthropology, and poetry). There's always so much more to learn, and I have a tendency to read up on random topics of interest here and there. I like to write poetry once in a while. Sometimes I feel motivated to play guitar or piano. I used to enjoy physical activities like hiking, swimming, and sports. Hopefully I'll get back out there eventually. I talk about food a lot sometimes because it excites me a bit. I've also been trying to learn web dev little by little (taking a break for the moment).

Personal Things

Mental Health
I've been through a lot in the last months. My heart is deeply broken after the end of a very serious two-year relationship. I have my fair share of regrets. I even tried to end it all. Thankfully, I'm still here. The sadness, anxiety, and guilt remain too. But I'm thankful for the awareness I've gained. I've struggled with untreated mental illness, BPD in particular, throughout my life. It requires me to face some painful truths. I've hurt people I cared about, regardless of intent. I know that I have plenty of work to do, but I feel more than ever that it's necessary for my own happiness and that of the people around me. I'm starting therapy with someone experienced in these issues very soon, and I've been practicing mindfulness daily in the meantime. I'm learning to communicate my feelings and needs and understand those of others. A strong desire for emotional connection is part of who I am as a a person, but finding a healthy kind of balance in that is important to me.
Values
There are several things that I value in a friend. Compassion is the first that comes to mind. I feel that it's essential to caring for ourselves and others. Communication is important for mutual understanding and satisfaction. Additionally, a certain degree of comfort is something that I especially appreciate. That might mean mutual interests that can be enjoyed together, the space to be open with thoughts, feelings, and quirks, or shared experiences that facilitate understanding. I think that makes it easy to enjoy spending together. A good sense of humor helps with breaking up tension or coping with difficult things.
Bonus
This section is just to say that I do appreciate nonsexual elements of cg/l, but it's not something I would necessarily expect to find in a friendship. I know I would appreciate encouragement in taking care of things in my daily life since that's something I struggle with due to anxiety and depression. I find things like cuddles, watching certain things, and being tucked in are very calming for me overall. I also like offering emotional support where I can. I'm not interested in sexual things unless I connect with someone first, but I'm very kinky overall and not shy about discussing tastes if asked.
Wrap-up
If you're interested, please write me a little bit about yourself through messages or chat! I'm usually on Pacific Time, and I prefer to talk to people 23 and up. I don't think friendships can be forced, but they do start with conversations!

Build Specs Ryzen 7 5800x Msi B550 Gaming gen3 1070 32gb ram @3000mhz
My issue started last night with a black screen to a reboot after boot looping a few times. Today the pc just isn’t having it, I’ve reseated the cpu with new paste, tested every stick of ram (4) and have double checked cpu, gpu and mb power connectors on the component side and psu side my ez dbug light is stuck on cpu
Backstory. The pc has been stable after my mb rma about 6 months ago when I upgraded. Gpu is OC to 2012 MHz 90% of the time and the cpu is at stock frequencies.
So is the cpu bricked??

How, how, HOW are there guests who don't understand they need a credit/debit card to book a room??? It's common sense, people! What happens if you don't show up? Why do you think there's a cancellation policy? Do you think we send you a bill in the mail? This isn't a restaurant reservation, you're guaranteeing a hotel room for an entire night. When was the last time you could call a hotel without a card and just be like "Thanks, see ya next month!!" It's not even just older guests, I get it all the time.
Same deal for checking in when you ask for ID + card and they're like "uh, it's in the car" with that deer in headlights look. I'd be afraid to know the amount of time I've wasted sitting on the phone while someone looks for their card because they didn't have it ready or tries to rummage through their car while driving or watched a line build up because a guest didn't bring their wallet in.
Like, are there hotels that do this? I've worked in 7 different hotels, 3 chains, 3 states, and it's the same deal everywhere. You need a card to book the room, and you need an ID/card to check in. Even if you've never booked/stayed at a hotel before, how is this not common sense? Why would you assume you don't need these things during a transaction?
