2023.06.05 15:23 WishboneKey3663 I was thinking
I have been thinking about a lot of things I have seen personally and people around me and then I thought Why is this so important right now... Then I got the core context about the things I was thinking... Context is I have come to the point of my life where I need to decide if I want to get married or not.. so I decided I should get married. Then from my personal experience from my family this question popped up.. why are women not appreciated for the things they do in household management but instead they are depriciated... For a simple example: If my mom is tired from cleaning and my dad comes home and says plate the food.. and she says please wait a minute I just finished the cleaning.. i will plate the food in a moment... And then dad replies thulai kaam garis?.. what is that???. Never understood this behavior... We family respect dad and celebrate him and his work for the family but we don't do the same for the mom. My mom doesn't work in corporate by the way. Now suppose I work 9-5 and the guy i am about to marry also work 9-5. I am sharing his burden of solely providing for our family but Isn't it obvious for me to expect him to share my burden of solely managing the house? I have seen my mother doing both at some point in her life teaching in school and looking after kids and managing house for some time.. Man... Even child me understood that was too heavy responsibility for her alone and I remember my dad not contributing on any thing... And now that I think about it my brother is also turning like that.. a person with no empathy for others...

2023.06.05 15:23 a_random_work_girl What are my options here? small claims court?
(this is also possibly going on AITA as well, but i want to know my options.)
I paid someone to make some custom cosplay clothes for me, £300. £100 of which is a deposit.
After a 3 month wait for the fitting, when asked to rearrange for a 4th time I decided i wanted my money back instead. I had told them twice I would be unable to have a fitting between the end of march and end of may, and I needed it done before then.
They argued they should get to keep the whole deposit, and even though I felt that I should get some of it back at least. But I didn't press the point, knowing we are friendly and that they are in tough times. They did agree to pay me back the £200. I offered for them to take their time paying me back, knowing their financial situation. This was late march.
late April, after 1 month, I sent them a text reminding them about it, and they got upset because "I knew how much they where struggling." I was going to message them again after 2 months but they had gone on holiday the day before and I decided to wait till the Monday they came back (today.)
I messaged them today and they hit the roof and said they weren't going to pay me back and are blocking me. What I was vaguely aware of is that one of their colleague and friends passed away last week, and they are very upset. I know sending them a text asking for my money while they are mourning is a bad call, but I a) was only vaguely aware this person had passed, and b) was not aware how close they were.
After they said they would not pay me back, I said I would message again after month 3, and then explore my options.
What are my options? I know small claims can handle these things, but is that overkill for £200? another nuclear option is that they are a regular drug user, and part of me believe they have no money because of that, and I want to call the police on them. However I think that's a nuclear option I'm only thinking of because I am pretty peeved. I also know the place they work and I could mention it around there that they owe me and that would put peer pressure on to pay up? or it may just bounce back and upset other friends in the leatherwork and cosplay industry.
Extras, I used didn't use their normal online form, I messaged them on WhatsApp each time, and have the conversations screenshotted.
I am aware I may have been a massive kn*****D when I was rude to them after finding out their friend had passed. But im on a short tether with them about this and other stuff anyway. if you want to rule AITA you can do.
TLDR: friend refuses to pay me back the £200 for the leather wings I wanted, and I want to know what I can do?

2023.06.05 15:23 rleitee Fear of Judgment: How It's Hindering My Performance, Limiting My Life, and Affecting My Mental Health
Hello, I'm an 18-year-old male living in Brazil, and lately, I've been struggling with my emotions. To be honest, I lack confidence when it comes to achieving the level of performance I desire. While I have no trouble making friends or expressing myself, I'm more fragile than I appear.
Ever since I was young, I've found it difficult to voice my true desires, fearing that I would be the cause of someone's anger or disappointment. I experience a great deal of anxiety and discomfort when someone expresses anger, even if it's not directed at me. Unfortunately, this has spilled over into other aspects of my life.
Recently, I've been trying to distance myself from a certain friend whose reactions were having a negative impact on me. He never accepts being wrong and turns every conversation into a logical argument where you have to defend your point. If things don't go his way, he becomes indignant. This process of distancing is still ongoing, and just thinking about it brings about anxiety. I worry about what he might say to me, how he will try to prove me wrong, make a big deal out of it, or use my past words against me. I've been friends with him for nine years, and although this behavior has always been present, it has become increasingly difficult in the last three years. Usually, things normalize over time, so I tend to forget about it and move on. However, I now realize how much it has affected me because his narcissism has eroded my already diminished confidence. Presently, I lack the courage to end the friendship, and I don't even feel justified in being upset about the relationship.
But what truly troubles me is what I mentioned at the beginning of this message—this lack of self-confidence severely hampers my ability to perform well in my activities. I'm an eSports player with considerable gaming experience, but the gaming community can be toxic. Despite everyone telling me to "just ignore it," I find it difficult to do so. Insults and encounters with people who have insulted me in the past paralyze me. I struggle to express what's going on in my mind. It's not that I'm afraid of these individuals physically harming me; rather, their presence completely disrupts my performance. I become unable to concentrate, which has a detrimental impact on my gameplay. In order to train, I've resorted to playing on alternate accounts where my identity is unknown, allowing me to disregard any insults. I did this for about a year and managed to reach the twentieth position in the national ranking.
However, this presents a familiar problem—I can't participate in tournaments with alternate accounts due to the risk of being banned. Consequently, I've never been able to perform well in tournaments. Uncontrollable anxiety and fear hinder my focus. The biggest obstacle is my inability to concentrate. I recognize that this isn't my best performance, and it feels as if a spell has been cast upon me. Whenever I encounter people who I know dislike me, negative feelings arise. Despite having a supportive social circle and people who want to see me succeed, I still find myself struggling. Why do I continue to feel this way? How can I overcome it?
To be honest, I'm exhausted. I'm tired of being at the mercy of other people's judgment, tired of being afraid of others. I simply want to believe in my own potential. I've dedicated years to training, and I've reached a good level in the game (not yet professional, but close). However, it feels like I'm still the same person as before. I can't convince myself that I'm good enough and the same old excuses keep circulating in my mind: "Those who mistreated you are only as good as you are at the game, so you don't receive any credit for your improvement." "Everyone is getting good just as you, sometimes even better" It's a constant battle to overcome these thoughts and recognize my own achievements.
It feels like I'm trapped in a vicious cycle. I lack self-trust, which means that none of my accomplishments truly bring me lasting satisfaction. My mind always fixates on the things that bother me, amplifying their impact and preventing me from performing at my best. This constant state of frustration and disappointment only adds to the difficulty of the situation, making it even harder to break free from this cycle.
I've attempted to tackle these challenges fueled by hate and by trying to overpower my fear, but it hasn't brought me any real satisfaction. Even if it occasionally yields some results, that's not the path I want for my life. I yearn to face my struggles head-on, to grow and improve without anyone's actions hindering me from pursuing what I truly desire, and I don't want to resort to spreading more hate and inflating my ego as a defense mechanism. I believe there must be a better way to navigate these challenges and grow as a person without perpetuating negativity.
However, I find myself lost and unsure of how to cope with these issues. The impact extends beyond my gaming experience and affects other areas of my life, such as my studies and other ambitions. It feels overwhelming, and I'm desperately seeking guidance on how to navigate these obstacles.
If anyone has a suggestion for a Dr. K video that addresses this topic, please share it in the comments. Your input would greatly benefit me. Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

2023.06.05 15:23 lightningx24 None of the stances are clicking with me. I think I'm going to be basic and use the default single saber - What stance should I pair with it?
Here are my thoughts on the stances now that I have them all.
Double-bladed - I've always thought this style is dumb, so haven't used it particularly much in either game. Nothing much to say about the actual gameplay of the stance.
Dual Wield - Not a big fan of going all in for single target. What I've experimented with feels really bad when fighting multiple enemies. I also don't like the low block meter.
Blaster - The most interesting of the new stances to me, but I can't even start the bounty side quest because my game is bugged. Don't really want to use it since I can't purchase the special ammunition.
Crossguard - I hate the drop kick running attack, and the attacks are just slow. I have heard good things about this stance, so it's probably a matter of getting good and investing in the tree.
More options are great, but for some reason I'm not liking any of them! I would love to hear what you all recommend to pair with single saber, or if I should really give another pair of stances another chance.

2023.06.05 15:22 Hyperblue8 native camp reviews removal
So I just saw that native camp actually has a form to request to remove a students rating.
The thing is the platform only updates ratings once a week and you cannot see who gave you what rating... So unless you only do 1 class a week, its basically impossible to tell who gave the low rating short of you having a horrible lesson and even then you are guessing it was them.
Am I wrong? Is there some way to see the rating they gave?

2023.06.05 15:22 No-Stress-5285 My vent
My sister (#3) is my 94 year old mother's main caregiver and is paid to do so from my mother's savings and money from the VA. Mom can dress and bathe and feed herself, but her dementia gets worse every time I see her. Sister #3 doesn't like the word dementia and refuses to see mom as person with dementia. We have worked out a schedule where she gets relief from the caregiving most weekends. But the rest of us are not paid for this time. Mom can't afford it even if I wanted to be paid. I drive four hours on Friday to get here and four hours on Monday, once a month, to get home. We have been doing this for about three years.
I have four sisters. About a dozen years ago, sister 4 had an adult temper tantrum and cut everyone in the family out of her life, even our mother who had done nothing to deserve that treatment. My mother even cut her out of the will for awhile. We all told mom that it was her decision, but if she was going to make changes, please don't put sister #4 in charge of anything. Sister #4 apparently had a change of heart several years ago, and made up with sister #3 and through her, got back in mom's good graces. Fine. My mother should have a relationship with all of her children. However, sister #4 has always been the bossy one of the family and for our whole life, has always expected the rest of us to do what she wants us to do. I have many examples of that. She is competent and capable and smart, so her ideas are often good; it is just her bossy attitude that was the problem. She, and sister #3, submitted the VA application without any discussion with the rest of us. And when we found out, they refused to provide us with any information about it. I do believe, and will do so until proven otherwise, that she made a few false statements on the application, but the VA approved it, so either I was wrong or the VA didn't do their due diligence. Sister #4 has made no effort to make up with the other three of us (#1, #2 and #5). This creates a great deal of tension in the family. We are now a broken family.
Sisters #3 and #1 had a big fight a few years ago when sister 1 was with mom, but sister 3 showed up because mom had called her because mom, in her dementia state, didn't recognize sister 1 at that time. This led to sister 1 leaving the house and saying she was not coming back. Sister #5 and I also had various arguments with sister #3, but finally decided that it was detrimental to mom to have those fights. So now, I mostly keep my mouth shut.
Sister #4 now has weak sister #3 in her pocket and now is in control of her which means she is also in control of mom. And sister #4 doesn't care about what the rest of us think.
I have tried to get mom and sister #1 to keep a relationship and so she will visit mom when I am there on my weekend. Sometimes.
I had made plans for mom and me to visit sister #1 on Sunday, yesterday, and told mom about it at multiple times on Saturday. But she woke up Sunday morning in a bad mood and started on her rant about sister #1 which is mostly false, but her dementia takes over and I can never convince her that no, sister #1 does not want your money and no, does not want you dead, and yes, maybe her husband drinks too much maybe he doesn't, but that is not your problem. Then she went looking for her phone list so she could call sister #3 to come over, it seems, to rescue her from me, I guess, or whatever else her demented mind was telling her. I am actually not certain my mother can even make a phone call right now - not sure she would know which buttons to push. But I said to her, if you are going to call sister #3 to come over, then I will go pack my bags and she can take care of you and I will go home. And of course, I started crying which upset her even more. I then gave up on the idea of seeing sister #1 that day and tried to have a good day with her anyway.
Even before her dementia was as bad as it is, my mother will almost never stop talking. She has talking points that she repeats over and over and over. Some are false memories, some have some validity but are not really accurate and I know that the dementia makes this worse than it would be.
I am getting tired of my weekends here. I dread the drive down. When I am here, she doesn't let me help her clean closets or drawers although she complains about having too much stuff. She doesn't have that many hobbies that can occupy her mind. She likes to watch the action on her street when people walk by. Sister #3 is a bit of a hoarder at her own home and has moved some of her overflow into my mom's house which my mother doesn't like. For instance, sister #3 got a good deal on a turkey about five years ago, and it is still in mother's freezer. But even mom will say that she can't stand up to sister #3 since she depends on her.
The five of us have no plan for what to do with mom when she gets worse. I did some looking around at various facilities, but sister #3 just dismissed what I found. Sister #4 probably has plans, but none of the rest of us get to know those plans. And after sister #1 left, mom, with her demented brain, contacted her attorney and changed her power of attorney to include sister #4 as a backup. I am nowhere on any legal documents, probably because I live four hours away.
I often cry on my way home after holding in my emotions. Today, on my way home, I will go by the cemetery and talk to Dad and God. I know the best thing for mom is for me to give sister #3 this respite time, so I will continue, but it is taking a toll on me. I have no doubt that it is taking a toll on sister #3 as well, but I have gotten to the point that I just don't care about her feelings about it. She is a loving daughter and devoted to my mother, so there is not any issue of abuse. But she does not really provide my mother with daily cognitive or physical exercise and I think they spend most of their days watching sister #3s favorite TV shows. She also hates housework and so she bought a robot vac (not sure it was her money or mom's). But doesn't dust furniture. There is a layer on every piece. Yes, I could get out the furniture polish and take care of it and maybe it is petty for me not to do it, but sister #3 is here all the time and is the only one paid for what she provides. It costs me $100 in gas money just to drive back and forth. I also hate cooking at this point in my life, but I often buy food that I want to prepare and I pay for it myself. At this point, it would be difficult for mom to adjust to a facility because of her dementia, but that day is coming and we have no plan for it as a family.
It helps to vent, although I don't think there are any solutions. I am grateful that sister #3 is willing to be mom's caregiver, but am less and less concerned with her own well-being and needs. Our sister problems are not helping mom, but no one wants to try to get along anymore.

2023.06.05 15:22 MrTerrificPants On June 12, 2023, this subreddit will be going private in solidarity with the rest of Reddit in protest of the proposed API changes which will functionally destroy what Reddit is and has always been.
What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app
permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from
Apollo to
Reddit is Fun to
Narwhal to
BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
This is not only about moderators, either. This affects users, as well, including
vulnerable communities like the visually impaired. What's the plan?
On June 12th,
many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away
permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because
we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the
goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?
- Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

- Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
- Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

2023.06.05 15:22 KatyG9 No, Prioress! Leave Father's Day alone!!!
Tldr: Prioress tries to hijack DH's first Father's Day.
Update: Being a grandmother has NOT improved the Prioress. The last time I saw her, she was borderline creepy about my LO. She was obssessing about how he'd left his scent on a blanket (that she didn't want to get washed). She also said how she can't wait for him to get big enough so she could "snatch" him from me. Oh, and of course she wants dibs on watching him. I told her to get in line. My older SIL and a few trusted friends are our trusted baby sitters, not her. And I need to up my baby wearing game, so more core exercises for me so I can better hold up the bub.
So far this has been BEC or long expected behavior from her baby rabies. Tonight she texted me asking us to Father's Day dinner at her and JNDad's place.
But here is the thing: it's DH's first Father's Day. This is a once in a lifetime thing. It's a big deal for DH since he's always wanted to be a father. Yes, I get that JNDad wants to celebrate too, but he's had his firsts already.
Of course I told the Prioress to get bent. At best she is obtuse, at worst this is another control game of hers.

2023.06.05 15:22 sadkay98 I (f25) dont understand how I keep messing up from my husband's (m25) point of view. I need help.
Hi! I want to start out by saying, my husband and I try to communicate as best we can and are working through our traumas together. That being said, something happened last night that I need to know who the asshole in the situation was because I am not sure.
Hubs and I recently moved in two of our friends, his past coworkers, to help with rent so we can save money to buy a house. Last night, my husband, myself, and one of the roommates (m21) sat down in the living room to play some board games.
Hubs and I have a very playful relationship, but recently since they have moved in..the playful comments and butt smacks have turned into hurtful comments and more like sibling smacks? If that makes sense.
Heres what happened last night to help make this make sense. The three of us were playing life and hubs was making his jokes as usual and i was biting back as usual, he smacked my thigh. No big deal. I backhanded his forehead when he leaned down to spin the wheel. (Mind you, lightly. Enough to make a sound but not enough to hurt. Reminder, we play like this all the time.) He smacks my left arm really hard to the point where it welts and im trying to not cry from the pain. All joy from the night left me as i was focusing on not crying to ruin the mood. He then draws a card and chooses me to be his opponent. The card states "give your best karate chop and spin the wheel" (sounds silly I know) so I give some limp ass chop because my arm is stilm stinging and im trying to pretend im fine to not make things weird with our roommate. Hubs tells me that it wasnt good enough, so I do it again. We do this cycle about 3 times before Im like, I did the best I could, can you please go so we can move forward with the game. He stares at me and wont let it go so I got upset and picked up my pieces and told them to put the game away when theyre done so the dog doesnt eat it and i laid on the couch. (Mind you, I was polite. Had no attitude. I was just embarrassed and felt awkward) I told them I felt awkward now and it was okay for them to continue.
Hubs stands up and says "Nice babe, thanks for ruining game night." Which felt like a punch to the throat. Then gets up and goes to hus computer with our roommate and he says "Well, this is what happens when someone makes everything awkward." And then they hoth laughed..which hurt.
I clean up the game and go to our room to finally let the tears fall. Once I have calmed down, I text my husband and ask him to come tell me goodnight. (Something we do every night no matter what) and he responds saying "I'm okay baby I'd like to be left alone for the rest of the night. Goodnight beautiful I love you ❤️" which seems like great communication but now i feel like im being manipulated after being embarrassed in the living room.
I go into panic mode and have a bunch of anxiety that I dealt with alone and I texted him aplogizing for ruining the night. I guess all I'm asking is for some outside perspective on this specific situation. I dont like involving people I know as things tend to be biased. Thanks for your help.

2023.06.05 15:22 2904929492001949301 Would I be crossing a picket line?
First of all full solidarity to people striking. I’m going to be visiting the states next month and one of my favourite things to do when I’m there specifically in NYC is go to tapings of talk shows. I’ve noticed that some have been totally shut down however there are still a few running (mainly day time/morning shows). Why aren’t the writers for these shows striking? And by going to a taping of one of these shows would I be crossing the picket line? as I definitely don’t want to do that but I’m confused to why the writers of these shows aren’t striking.

permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because
we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the
goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?
- Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
- Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at ModCoord- but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail.
- Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
- Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

| Amasawa's actions are really complex and her reasons are also layered. To facilitate understanding I will make use of several acronyms. I'll make use of them everytime I talk about her tactics and intentions. - Due to the White Room's 5th generation, Amasawa Ichika learned Acting Skills which she will use to express ideas [AcSk1] and for the viewer to deduce her intentions though body language [AcSk2].
- Amasawa creates numerous pretexts [Pr1] to later use them as justifications [Pr2], most of them are lies.
- The pretexts are correlated with the idea of advantage that she always makes use of [Ad]. Having the advantage, the other person has no choice but to obey [Ad1] and in addition to that, she also uses it to get answers from other people when she can't get from Ayanokouji [Ad2].
In addition to her tactics, we should also know her intentions: - Amasawa will often do things just to learn how people act, as well as to learn their personalities [Re1]. She will also do things just to see their reactions and get answers [Re2].
- Countless times Amasawa will leave hints on purpose so that suspicions are arised inside Ayanokouji and so that he tries to question what is happening [Hi]. She does that because she wants to confirm that he is the person she worships. If he doesn't understand those hints, he was just too dumb and it's impossible for him to be that person. If he is that person, she saved him from expulsion by giving him the partner and circumstances he needed.
AMASAWA'S ICHIKA INTRODUCTION 「“If you’re gonna go for the top spot, how ‘bout partnering up with me?”」 [Pr1] After introducing herself, Amasawa pretends to want the top spot by showing interest in Horikita's Academic Ability and by suggesting pairing up with her [Pr1]. Horikita refuses and proposes Sudou, as Amasawa expected. Amasawa then emphasizes that in this case, there is no way to fight for the top spot; giving her the right to give conditions when accepting the proposal [Pr2, Ad1]. 「“I’d say I like strong, powerful people, ya feel?”」 [Pr1] Amasawa then says that she would like to pair up with a strong guy and suggests a ridiculous idea for them to prove that Sudou was the strongest there [Re2, Ad1]. Having successfully read how Ayanokouji and Horikita reacted and how they devised a plan to convince her [Re1], Amasawa finally decides to discard her idea, [Re2]. 「Amasawa pressed her forefinger to her lips as she thought it over for a moment.」 [AcSk1] Amasawa finally says that she likes guys who can cook [Pr1]. She asks if Sudou knows how to cook, he denies; then Horikita interferes, but Amasawa refuses her proposal, reaffirming that she wants a boy who can cook [Pr2, Ad1]. She then suggests the ridiculous idea of turning Sudou into a ‘cook pro’ and wonder if he'll have time since she is a popular girl and might settle on a partner already [Re1, Re2, Pr1, Pr2, Ad1]. Not getting an answer, she makes a new proposal: as long as a boy satisfies her appetite, she would pair up with Sudou [Pr2, Ad1]. As expected by Amasawa, Horikita lies saying that Ayanokouji is a good cook, and he plays along; the similar idea and actions Amasawa observed during their attempts to prove that Sudou was the strongest. Amasawa then shows hurry, things had to be postponed to next day [Pr2, Ad1]. Just her and Ayanokōji would have to meet at the Keyaki Mall for him to buy the ingredients and stuff, as the dish he was going to make for her was a secret [Pr1, Pr2, Ad1] SHOPPING 「“Oh yeah. That too~ You’ve gotta buy the stuff you’ll make for me. Do you have the points~?”」 When Ayanokōji asks about the ingredients, Amasawa purposely emphasizes the line "That too~" making him aware that she prioritized that other stuff over the ingredients [AcSk1, Hi]; then she asks if he has the points, knowing he wouldn't say otherwise [Ad1] and giving him the impression that she was too focused on the fact that he will be the one to pay [Hi]. 「I could remember the first time I came here and how it was difficult to find what I was looking for right away.」 Amasawa walked straight to the shop specialized in selling home goods instead of the supermarket and then stopped by the section of kitchenware [Hi]. Finding what she wanted with ease, she purposely made him aware that she already knew in advance where to look for what she wanted [Hi]. She also purposely didn't ask for the items he already had to avoid buying new ones [Hi]. 「For a couple dozen seconds or so, she stood there, lost in thought with her arms crossed, almost as if she was troubled by something.」 [AcSk1] After appearing to be thinking about what to buy while looking at the shelf of goods, Amasawa suddenly threw several items into the shopping basket, nonstop [AcSk1]. 「Her troubled demeanour from earlier was nowhere to be seen, as she proceeded to take hold of a small fruit knife without hesitating in the slightest.」 [AcSk2] However, after displaying that uncertain behavior, she purposely looked at the Petty Knife and quickly picked it up [AcSk2, Hi]. She then says that a Petty Knife should be essential to a skilled cook, if that is true or not, doesn't matter, the intention is making Ayanokouji think about it and conclude that the difference between prices was due to the fact that the Petty Knife came with a sheath [Hi]. IN THE DORM 「If I didn’t manage to cook her a dish she was happy with, all negotiations would probably be broken off then and there.」 [Ad] After asking Ayanokouji to cook tom yum goong, he learns that it won't be necessary to use the Petty Knife [Hi]; when asked, Amasawa simply replies that it will be to peel an apple for her [Hi]. 「“It’s fine, it’s fine~ I’m the one who forced you to cook for me, so at least lemme do this much. Go sit back and relax, Senpai.”」 After trying the food, Amasawa avoids giving the veredict quickly and goes to tidy up the kitchen [Hi], saying that there is no problem because she always helped her mother in that aspect [Pr1, Pr2]. 「As she thought about it, Amasawa didn’t seem to be happy with the position of the ribbon holding up her right ponytail, as she unfastened the ribbon and began to tie it back on, using her reflection on the screen of her phone like a mirror.」 [AcSk1] Amasawa then demonstrates dissatisfaction with her ribbon on her right ponytail, she unties it and then ties it back on [Pr1]. After saying the veredict, she goes back to cleaning up the kitchen [Hi]. 「[I tried asking the clerk about that too, just in case. Apparently, just as the first-year was about to pay for it at the register, somebody else showed up and stopped them from going through with the sale. Anywho, the clerk told me the student who tried to buy one looked…]」 [Pr1, AcSk1] A day later, after sending Karuizawa to check information with the clerk, Ayanokouji learns that Amasawa had stopped Housen before he could purchase the same Petty Knife [Hi]. 「“Who is it!?”」 Returning to the dorm lobby to meet Ayanokouji, due to the incident where Karuizawa found a red hair in his dorm, Karuizawa responds in his place through the speaker to Amasawa. 「She studied my expression for a moment before sending a calculating look at the shoes in the entryway.」 At the front door after greeting Ayanokouji, she takes a look at the shoes in the entryway, asks if it's his girlfriend's, and she gets no answer. She says she lost her favorite hair tie and he lets her in to look for it [Pr2]. She asks Karuizawa if she is his girlfriend, and Karuizawa avoids the question but calls Ayanokouji by his given name ‘Kiyotaka’ [Ad2]. 「“Ah…Senpai. This might be a bit too naughty for me to handle.”」 [AcSk2] Knelting down and taking a look under the bed, exposing her rear to him and increasing Karuizawa's jealousy, Ayanokouji had to replace her in the search [AcSk2, Re2, Ad1, Ad2, Hi]. She then suggests looking for it in the kitchen [Hi]; after a few minutes she appears saying that she finally found it in the gap between the counter and the fridge [Hi]. 「“Speaking of which, you know what? It’s prolly not a good idea for it to just be the two of us next time you cook for me, huh?” “Obviously!”」 [Re2] Finally, she suggests that next time Ayanokouji should cook for her and Karuizawa as it wouldn't be a good idea to just the two of them together after learning that he has a girlfriend [Ad2]. Finally she is 100% sure that Karuizawa is his girlfriend. FINAL STAGE 「From the way he gripped the knife in his hand, it was obvious that it wasn’t meant to stab an opponent. He had faced the blade upward to make it look like someone else had stabbed him.」 The plan has finally reached its final stage, Housen shows the same Petty Knife that Ayanokouji bought, and charges at him with the knife facing the blade upward [Hi]. Ayanokouji taking everything into consideration let the blade pierce through his palm making him now have the upper hand of the situation. 「“You’re the one who came up with this ridiculous strategy, but Amasawa is the one who helped refine it to perfection.”」 He then says that he is the only one to have bought a Petty Knife and that he first felt something out of place when he went to the shopping with Amasawa. He also mentions the Petty Knife's convenience due to its sheath, and how strange it was for Amasawa to find it so easily. 「“No, it was thanks to Amasawa that this plan took shape at all. Without her help, everything would’ve fallen apart.”」 Having control over the situation, he forces Housen to make Class 1-D cooperate with Class 2-D, and also forces him to partner up with him for the exam. submitted by Fllaviio to u/Fllaviio [link] [comments] |
2023.06.05 15:22 DanielOptimista Cleaner notes. How did I do?
| Ok, so I didn't realize I hadn't played a single clean note in the last video. I watched a few things on YouTube and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. This morning I tried again and got a clean note for the first time. The first part of the video is the old way I was playing, then the new way. I know not all of them are clean, but this was some major progress for me. submitted by DanielOptimista to harmonica [link] [comments] |
2023.06.05 15:21 XXV_25 Poison type ONLY FireRed Playthrough ! or in other words: Pokemon I never used
| I've already made 4 monotypes playthroughs in FireRed, and this is probably my last. I've used only Pokemon with a primary poison type, which are: Golbat - Nidoqueen - Nidoking - Arbok - Muk - Weezing (unlike Venausar who was a secondary poison type) Starting off, I picked a random starter and headed straight to Route 3 to catch my first Pokemon, Nidoran (M). I caught 2 since I can get Nidoran (F) by doing a trade with an NPC. After that, I caught my next Pokemon at Mt.Moon, Zubat. After defeating Misty, I went to Route 12 to catch Ekans. The team has now 4 pokemon and will be completed once I head to Cinnabar Island to get the final 2, Koffing and Grimer. I used the Moon Stone on both Nidorino and Nidorina (I think level 23 and 22 respectively), since they both learn a move at that level while evolving. Arbok's moveset is probably one of the worst in the game, literally unplayable. Golbat becomes usable once he learns Wing Attack. The most surprising thing was their moveset, it is SO bad. Nidoqueen and Nidoking don't learn any ground moves, and only 1 poison move, RIP STAB. Golbat only has poison fang and 2 average flying type moves. Arbok ... I prefer not to speak. As for Muk and Weezing, which I catch at Cinnabat Island, their moveset is slightly better. At least they learn a good poison type attack; both learn Sludge and Muk learns Sludge Bomb. This was probably the worst part of the save, however I did not face any difficulty while facing any gym type. The only challenge was my rival's Alakazam before heading to Victory Road, a real pain in the *ss. Anwyays, this was my team with moveset before defeating the Elite 4: Weezing: Sludge - Explosion - Thunderbolt - Smokescreen Muk: Sludge Bomb - Dig - Toxic - Brick Break Golbat: Wing Attack - Poison Fang - Bite - Confuse Ray Nidoking: Megahorn - Rock Slide - Earthquake - Thrash Nidoqueen: Ice Beam - Superpower - Strength - Surf Arbok: Stockpile - Swallow - Spit Up - Glare Again, my rival's Alakazam was a huge struggle, but Golbat's Confuse Ray did the trick. https://preview.redd.it/9pyj2407a74b1.jpg?width=322&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3750814e09a355fd3d8a0e8b3917fc7530de174c https://preview.redd.it/4ib4qdz7a74b1.jpg?width=317&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ff35bc129f70b1651e3b27e741d1586bc10da05 I might complete also the post-game story since this is the first time I used 5 of the 6 Pokemon. Muk and Weezing might become two of my favorite Pokemon ... I'm not liking it... submitted by XXV_25 to pokemon [link] [comments] |
2023.06.05 15:21 PuzzleheadedMotor946 Not happy in marriage
There have been a lot of stressful events happening in my marriage. My stepdaughter trying to get a restraining order on my husband and constantly asking for things and money. My husbands ex wife being (imho) emotionally abusive towards him and myself for a decade. And my special needs stepson and his mom possibly making him sick or exaggerating his illness to keep him in hospitals (he’s non verbal). This is the first time I’m feeling done with my marriage. I’m not happy and I’m trying to be. We are all in therapy but the outside stress is too much and I can’t just get over things and let my husband deal with them. I feel resentful on many levels and sad because I know that things won’t change and when I bring up concerns nothing actually changes or is done. I told my husbands ex that she may not contact me anymore and she flew off the rails. She’s vengeful and mean. The manipulation, lying, gaslighting is too much from both stepdaughter and her mom. I’m feeling so mentally exhausted. And I’m not sure what to do. I seriously would hate to end a ten year marriage because I’m not able to handle this stress anymore but this is what it feels like it’s coming to.

2023.06.05 15:21 Ok_Sherbet_8588 How to teach English
Hi everyone, I just graduated from polytechnic, and currently waiting to enlist (presumably in September) so I was thinking of doing English tutoring part-time while waiting. English has always been my strong suit, I like to read literature books often and I do enjoy teaching people things that I know (although I have not done it officially) but when I think about it, I'm not sure what I'm actually supposed to teach, so I am quite hesitant to hop into this work lest I just teach like a bum and pocket people's money :/
For those with experience teaching English, what are the things you focus on and for students who had English tuition, which aspects of it helped you a lot and what are some things you wish your tutor would do to help you improve? Thanks in advance~
Looking to teach secondary school level English as that's my highest qualification, but open to hearing tips on how to 'teach' GP as well

2023.06.05 15:21 FoxDue95 Is nothing made to last anymore or am I just cursed?
I've had three cars in my 10 years of driving. The first was a 2002 Ford Taurus nicknamed "The Golden Chariot" because it honestly ended up being the most reliable of the three. When I was ready to make my first "big girl" purchase, I got a 2012 Nissan Sentra because it was affordable for me at the time. It lasted until I had just a few months left to pay on it, when the CVT transmission went out. And you best believe I continued to drive that thing at a top speed of 30 mph until I could get a new car.
I traded that in and got a Hyundai Sonata. I've had the Sonata for the last three years and my check engine light came on over the weekend with the code P1326 which, lucky for me, is the rod bearings. The mechanic I use and the mechanic my dad uses both gave us the same information, that Hyundai sucks, and the cost of their engines alone are at least $8,000, and I only owe $9,000 on it. They said to take it to a dealership, because it only has 95,000 miles on it, which I'm doing tomorrow and hopefully it will fall under the warranty, but I'm not holding my breath.
If the universe is looking out for me, and Hyundai can replace the engine, should I keep the car until it's paid off? Or should I get rid of it as quickly as possible? I have the money to pay it completely off now, but that would be almost all of my savings. Isn't it amazing how it always works like that? I know now is also not the time to be buying a car, but if I did decide to trade mine in, which car would not make me want to take up bicycle riding to and from work three years down the road?

2023.06.05 15:21 SSGOldschool People Other than Grunts trying to do Grunt shit (Observation from AT)
Why the hell non-infantry units try so damn hard to do infantry shit? I mean, seriously, what's the obsession? Are they just desperate to feel like badass grunts for a hot minute?
There's a reason we have specialized units with specific roles and training. Infantry does infantry shit. That's their bread and butter. S1 loses paperwork. Mechanics fix things and keep them fixed. Cooks...well, fuck if I know.
So why in the world would anyone in their right mind try to replicate that without the proper training or expertise? It's like watching a bunch of airsofters cosplaying in their backyards.
I get it, there's a romanticized notion of the infantry, all hardcore and gritty, kicking down doors and slaying dragons. But let's be real for a moment. Each unit has its own damn job to do, and they should focus on mastering their own craft. Trying to play infantry when you're not trained for it is just asking to make yourself look stupid.
Trust me, there's plenty of other important work to be done in the Army. Like not losing my paperwork, fixing my truck, and enabling the dragon slayers to go slay dragons.
And yes I'm talking about an HHD trying to use their cooks, S1, and mechanics as infantry to conduct MOUT, wearing way more high speed shit than what the TPT's are rocking. Why do you ask?
