As an Millennial who grew up on music videos, I usually can't stand modern pop—it all sounds so copy and paste lately, i feel like it all sounds the same. But after listening to Olivia Rodrigo new album completely changed my mind. This is hands down the best album I’ve heard since 2016. It hits that perfect nostalgic sweet spot, giving serious 90s alt-rock and early 2000s vibes. I honestly didn't think a Gen Z artist would pull me in like this, but I’m totally obsessed now. My fav are Cigarette Smoke, Purple, The Cure and Honeybee.

Why is there a lot of fight on social networks between atheists and Christians?

Hi everyone! I had my endo surgery on the 14th, and have been getting better every day. They found endo in many places, including my bowel being adhered to my abdomen wall. I also got the mirena inserted. First week was mostly gas pain and incision pain, and I think it may have been masking the cramping pain I'm feeling now. Curious if anyone also has experienced severe cramping 1.5 weeks post op.. is been happening the last 4-5 days. I'm wondering if it's the mirena or if it's from the surgery or both? It's in my lower abdomen and feels like it's also in my vagina. Similar to period cramps.

I plan to get it for my bed. I’m maybe old fashioned and use a ground tent, so I just need it for some gear storage, no RTT. Just use cross bars and some diy harbor freight rifle cases right now.

Pourquoi est-ce que r/Montreal laisse en ligne des vidéos de sionistes qui menace de mort des montréalais ?

Sometimes I get teammates that completely break down in chat and go completely troll. But does reporting them even do anything? IMO these players just kind of ruin the game for everyone around them. There’s definitely no reason to be an asshole, and there’s especially no reason to troll the game intentionally. It’s one thing to have a bad game, it’s another thing to have such a bad psyche you start running it down because you’re upset. I’m not even playing ranked, that’s the crazy part… getting these sorts of players in normal lobbies where everyone in the lobby is completely chill except one person.

I don’t have many sprites to offer atm

August 24th, 2019

​ I know the original #PSBlackout is planned for August 23–30. But honestly, I don't think one week is enough. Sony has announced that it will stop producing physical discs for new PlayStation games starting in January 2028. That means the future of physical PlayStation releases is at stake — and with it, consumer choice, game preservation, collecting, resale, and access to games outside a single digital storefront. I'm not asking anyone to hate Sony. I'm not asking anyone to harass employees. I'm not asking anyone to break the law. I'm asking PlayStation players to consider a peaceful, consumer-led boycott. My proposal: keep the blackout going until GTA VI. That means: 🎮 Don't use your PlayStation consoles. 🔌 If you want to make it easier, unplug them and put them away. 🔑 Don't log into PSN. 🛒 Don't buy games, DLC, add-ons or other content from PlayStation Store. 💳 Don't buy PlayStation subscriptions or hardware during the boycott. 📱 Avoid unnecessary engagement with PlayStation services/apps. 📢 Share the message using #PSBlackout. 👥 Encourage other players to participate — but don't pressure anyone. You can still play other platforms, PC, older consoles, physical games you already own elsewhere, etc. Why GTA VI? Because GTA VI is going to be one of the biggest gaming releases in years. If people say they're against Sony moving away from physical media but immediately return to buying and using PlayStation normally when the next huge game arrives, Sony has very little reason to believe the boycott is serious. That's why I think the real test isn't August 30. The real test is whether we're willing to maintain the boycott when there's something we REALLY want to play. And yes, I know what you're thinking: "But millions of people aren't going to give up GTA VI." Exactly. That's why I'm not claiming everyone will do it. I'm asking: How many people would? 10,000? 100,000? 1 million? Nobody knows unless we actually try. What are we asking Sony for? Not the death of digital games. Not the removal of the PlayStation Store. We want choice. Keep digital games. Keep physical games. Let players choose how they buy, keep, resell, collect and preserve their games. Physical media also gives players something that digital purchases often don't: an independent copy that can be kept, traded, collected and preserved without relying entirely on one digital storefront. And this isn't just about people who collect discs. It's about what happens to games years from now. What happens when a game disappears from a store? What happens when servers shut down? What happens when an account is lost? What happens when a digital license is no longer accessible? These are legitimate questions about the future of game ownership and preservation. How to participate If you agree: 1. Log out of PSN. 2. Don't buy anything from PlayStation Store. 3. Don't renew unnecessary PlayStation subscriptions. 4. Turn off/unplug your console if that helps you stay committed. 5. Put your controllers and games away if you need to. 6. Use other platforms until the boycott ends. 7. Post your own picture/video with #PSBlackout. 8. Tell other PlayStation players why you're participating. And most importantly: Don't fake numbers. Don't spam. Don't harass Sony employees or developers. Don't spread misinformation. A boycott only has credibility if the people behind it are credible. I know one person putting their PS4 in a drawer won't change Sony's strategy. Mine is already there. The question is whether thousands — or eventually millions — will do the same. If Sony listens, we can stop. Until then: \#PSBlackout 🎮 \#PhysicalGames \#GamePreservation \#NoDiscNoBuy

Hello guys I am planning to buy kylaq this year, in all other aspects I am good with this car except one thing that is petrol. I want to know more about the real time problems on e20 petrol usage, that you have faced. Some people are telling that government is planning to move to e30 by 2030, what's your take on this

This is in part a confessional, but also a memorial to the person I used to be. Despite all the pain, sorrow, and blood, the events that took place over those several weeks were necessary in order to bring me here. This is my story—I have no regrets. As far as I can remember, it all started on one early morning. I had still barely awoken and was standing in front of the bathroom mirror; meandering around and slowly preparing myself for yet another completely dismal day. “Do you think my hair’s going grey?” I said, staring anxiously into the mirror. My girlfriend came over, hands buried in her auburn hair, just finishing tying up a rough little bun. “Would you relax about the hair already?” she put a free hand playfully on the back of my shoulder. “It’s called getting older, and everybody does it. At least you actually have hair to worry about, not like my dad.”  I looked closer into the mirror, carefully inspecting every individual follicle of my (till recently) shaggy black hair. “Yeah… but if I was bald, then it wouldn’t matter, would it?” I leaned even closer for better investigation. “Like at least when you’re bald, you don’t have to worry about it going grey. Probably quite nice actually… .” I started imagining my hairless head glimmering like a freshly shined bowling ball as I strutted my stuff down the street. I shook my body in a mock shiver. “… like a bowling ball.” “True…” She leaned in to kiss my cheek. “But I don’t think I could be with a guy who looks like my dad,” she giggled.  “Really?” Still not taking my eyes off the mirror, though secretly anxious of the potential answer. “Of course not, stupid,” she walked back into the bedroom and continued getting dressed. “Well, I’d rather you didn’t look like my Dad. That’d be weird.” She laughed, followed by the jingle of house keys off the dresser, now back in the bathroom.  “Besides, it could be a good look. Do you know how many people would kill for naturally white hair these days? Trust me, no hairdresser is worth those prices.” She turned my attention away from the reflection to meet those beautiful hazelnut eyes. “I love you no matter what, please don’t worry.” I smiled and we shared a gentle kiss, then I returned my sights to the mirror. “I guess I’ll just have to get used to it. Maybe it’ll be a *good* change. People say that, right? Change is good?” I said. I retrieved my toothbrush from the little cup on the sink and I started brushing away. “Exactly my point! Now, do you want me to bring you that *special cereal* you like and a *big ‘ol lolly pop* while I’m out today?” She said. I could hear her mocking grin all the way from the bathroom as I finished with my teeth and moved on to the mouthwash. “Very \**garble*\* funny,” I gargled.  She laughed. “I’ll see you later. Try to have a good day,” she said, beginning to head towards the front door.  I quickly spat the mouthwash into the sink and darted my head around the corner.  “I love…” I shouted, the door shutting behind her. “You…” finishing in a whisper, a sorry expression dawning over my face. I sighed and returned to the bathroom, continuing to get ready for work. Claire had always been good at making me feel better about those sorts of things. Whether it was my hair, skin, clothes, even my weight as of then. I wish I’d returned the affection more often, not that I think she needed any reassurances. She’s beautiful, smart, and funny. Perfect, at least to me. Unfortunately, I was in my own head most of the time. I wouldn’t say that I was uncaring or that I took her for granted, not at all. I just— I was very self-conscious and sometimes I forgot to say the things you should say when you’ve loved someone for so long. Just another thing that I didn’t like about myself. *Oh, poor me…* that’s where the pills came in. It had been a week already and the ad did say: “*A WHOLE NEW YOU, OR YOUR MONEY BACK!”*Though the only change I’d experienced so far was a bit of indigestion, then again that was probably due to my poor diet. I guess I’d have to wait and see. With any luck, sooner rather than later.  \*\*\* Several days later, I was coming home after another gruelling day at the office. You’d think I’d have been happy to come home but I guess I didn’t appreciate what I had back then.  *Another day’s come and gone, time to put on that cheery little smile Claire’s expecting*. *Remember, it’s for her, it’s all for her, it’s all for her.* With a deep breath, I stepped inside, slinging my backpack carelessly onto the hallway carpet. The smell of dinner hit my nose and I realised there might actually be a reason to smile after all. Lasagna night—very nice. “Good day?” Claire asked from the kitchen. “Good as any other, I guess,” I grumbled out, stepping into the room. “You?” “It was fine, just the same as usual. Is Steve still bothering you?” Claire replied, busy finishing the final touches of dinner.   “If you mean being a lazy ass, then yes. I think he’s going to get a promotion.” Sighing as I slumped into a chair at an already set table. “You know he actually had the balls to ask me how my home life was going! Said to me *trouble in paradise?* Like it was any of his business. For Christ’s sake, just do your fucking job already. Seriously, I’m going to hit him if he carries on.” I said. Claire begins to portion me a large, layered block of delicious lasagna.  “Manager still not doing anything?” She asked. I scoffed. “I don’t think he could manage his way out of a paper bag.” Claire placed a generously filled plate in front of me and I continued.  “You know it took him like all the possible hints ever to get us out of that escape room, the one during our last company retreat. I don’t get it. It’s literally called a team-building exercise; USE YOUR TEAM!” I proceeded to fork a particularly large chunk of pasta up to my mouth. Claire took the seat beside me with a notably smaller portion of food.  “Wasn’t that the one with the woman who had the whole *mental breakdown* or something?” Taking a much more rational-sized bite. “Why would you come to an escape room if you’re claustrophobic? Seriously, the people I work with are insane.” I spat in reply while chewing another massive chunk. “And you’re not?” Claire said. She was giving me that playfully coy expression of hers. “Not yet… but give it time,” I mumbled, slightly under my breath.  I began staring down at my mostly empty plate and my thoughts began trailing off as they often did. *I should just up and quit tomorrow. But what about money? And the debts… and the child.* I thought. Claire had offered to pick up some part-time work, but I couldn’t have her do that; it’s my debts to pay, and she shouldn’t have to suffer because of it. Besides, we were expecting a new family member very soon, so not exactly the time for Claire to start a budding career as a teacher. Not that she couldn’t; she’s got the patience for me after all. My thoughts then returned to the room, where I realised Claire had been trying to talk to me this whole time.  “Did you do something with your hair?” Claire said. I looked up, confused by the question. “My hair?” I ran my fingers over my scalp. “No, just the normal stuff… I guess a bit of that new moulding clay stuff this morning.”   Claire frowned, tipping her head to one side. “No, no, it’s not that…” She leaned in over the table. “I’m really sorry, but… yeah, it looks thinner—there! Let me see…”. She began parting my hair. “Oh shit!”  She slowly withdrew her hand, revealing a little clump of greying hair between her fingers. “I’m so sorry.” She apologised. Hastily returning to her seat. She was clearly embarrassed, though more so for me, I noted.    I just gazed at her hand. Completely speechless, though not surprised at this stage.  “Maybe it’s the stress? You have been working a lot more the last few months.” Claire reassured me. “Maybe see a doctor? You could do with a bit of rest.”  I shook my head, disregarding the idea. I hated doctors. “I’m fine,” I said. “Probably just a bug or something. My stomach’s been acting up the last week as well. But yeah, I guess I’ve been a little stressed lately.”  I took a breath and said. “I don’t know… I think with the whole fatherhood thing dawning over me, I’ve been getting a bit more anxious than usual—about the future. I just want us to be okay. All of us.”  I looked up, hoping to meet her calming face. Instead, Claire was staring vacantly down towards her empty plate. She was silent. I hated when she did that. Like she was considering the easiest way to keep my feelings from being hurt.  *Come on, Claire, I can take it*. I thought. “It’s going to be fine, *we’re* going to be fine… all three of us.” She finally said to me, raising her head to meet my longing stare. However, in that moment I got the impression that something still wilfully remained unspoken.  “As long as we’re together, we’ll always be fine.” Claire finished, flashing a quick, little assuring smile.  Then with that, she got up, collected the dirty dishes, and began washing up. I followed close behind and spent the next thirty minutes drying each plate in an uneasy, yet deafening silence.  I didn’t deserve Claire—that’s just a fact. Though she did have at least one thing wrong. It wasn’t just work or the prospect of a child causing the stress. I was also in the midst of trying to find the perfect engagement ring. Claire deserved the best, and I was going to provide it. If I could only get her the perfect ring, then all that was left was to be the perfect husband. Of the latter, I was definitely still lacking.  Maybe I should’ve stopped those pills then. I could already feel the lasagna running laps through my gut. But for now, I was just going to sit on the couch with Claire’s head cuddled up in my lap. Tomorrow would be a better day, at least I hoped so.  *Damn, my stomach hurts.*  It was now morning. I’d stayed up late watching garbage till three in the morning and had fallen asleep on the couch. Claire had gone to bed at a much more sensible time, but I didn’t feel like calling it so early. Didn’t help I was on the edge of the couch ready to throw my guts up. Watching *The Fly* was definitely not a good idea. Saying that, gotta love a bit of classic Goldblum. I also forgot to flush the damn pills. As I awoke, I noticed Claire had already left for the day. But more so there was a dull aching pain around my stomach.  “What the…” I pulled up my shirt, still half asleep, and ran my hands across my bellybutton. There was something wrong. There was a lump there.  *The fuck?* I thought.  I looked down and saw a mass, about the size of an apple, protruding from my lower abdomen. Panic began flooding over me as I jumped off the couch and straight into the bathroom. With my heart racing and beads of sweat beginning to form on my forehead, I smashed my hand on the light switch and stood in front of the mirror.  “WHAT THE FUCK?!” I yelled. In the reflection, I saw the abscess in all its horror and magnitude. The skin around it was stretched raw and blotched purple, throbbing and burning to the slightest touch. The thing itself was solid, but in the same way a kneecap is, full of cartilage and slightly pliable. With fresh black-cherry-coloured stretch marks surrounding the affected area.  I stood there completely paralysed, the colour draining from my face; my body was shaking, vision tunnelling, the room began to spin. In one last bit of consciousness, I could just make out something, something that made my stomach turn… then, I collapsed. Hitting the hard tiled floor in a crumpled slump, and everything went black.  *What was happening to me?* *\*\*\** It had been a week since I blacked out. I told Claire that I slipped on some soapy water. I’m clumsy, so I think she bought it. I also took some time off work, saying I’d been to see a doctor about the fall. She was obviously concerned but glad I’d taken it seriously. To be clear, I hadn’t actually seen a doctor. I just told my work that there was a family bereavement and I needed some time to grieve.  I hoped the lump would just go away, along with the stress. I didn’t want to explain anything to Claire, or anyone for that matter; the embarrassment of having to explain taking some random pills from the internet was definitely not on my bucket list. I did flush the rest of those pills eventually, so no chance of knowing what was actually in them.   According to some self-diagnosing, it’s seemed like a cyst. It also could’ve been a cancerous tumour; it was hard to tell. I also lost the rest of my hair in the following days. Now I really did look like a bowling ball. It was hard trying to keep all of this a secret from Claire. Luckily (I guess), we were not as intimate as we used to be since the pregnancy, so that helped. Then all I had to do was stick to wearing baggy clothes around the place, piece of cake I thought. I began to avoid actually looking at it—out of sight, out of mind, or something like that. I just hoped things got better before the baby came; God knows what Claire would do if something were to happen to me. I’d rather not think about it. Though I must admit I’ve had my concerns for the last couple of days. The mass, it’s getting bigger, almost doubled in size now actually. I could see it through my shirt. I hoped it would just go away now I’d stopped taking the pills. I didn’t realise it was already far too late. *It’s going to be okay, everything’s going to work out.* I kept thinking. That day Claire was strenuously making her way into the living room, multiple bags of groceries hanging from each arm. I was lying on the couch, trying my best to follow my non-existent doctor’s orders.  “Do you think you could give me a hand?” Claire struggled to say. “Unless you’re still feeling too rough to get up.” She shuffled in a few more feet into the room.  I arched my head over the back of the couch. “No, no, I can help. Let me take some of those.” I said, getting up.  She handed me two of the heavier bags. But no sooner had I taken them from her, I was hit with the most sharp, stabbing sensation in my abdomen.  “shit!” I groaned, dropping the bags immediately and falling to my knees. “Dammit, sorry.”   “You okay?” Claire asked, concerned.  I lied. “I’m fine. I just… pulled a muscle, I think.”  “It’s okay… I can manage, just go lie down again, please.” “But the bag…” I began. Claire interjected. “It’s fine! Just focus on getting better; okay?”  I could tell she was annoyed with me. With an irked exhale, Claire regathered all the remaining bags and carried on lugging them into the kitchen. I was left standing here, emasculated and embarrassed. I hated seeing her like that, especially when I couldn’t tell her the truth. I couldn't decide if I was saving her the worry or just being a selfish asshole. The something interrupted my thoughts. *"You don’t deserve her."* I heard. *What? Something, just… hello?* I thought *"Tell her the truth."* It spoke again. From where I couldn't gather, I was alone. I shouted into the kitchen, “Claire, did you say something?” Claire replied “No, do you need something? I just have a few more things to unpack, and I’ll be with you.” I could hear her panting between each word., it certainly wasn't her. “It’s nothing,” I said. “I think I’m going to the bedroom to take a nap. I don’t… I don’t feel great.” *"Stop lying to her, though you’ve got one thing right… you are selfish."* I didn’t say that, I didn’t even think that*.* Something was wrong and I needed to see it—the lump. So I headed down the hall, towards the bedroom, resisting the urge to break into a full manic sprint. Then I carefully, making sure Claire was still busy in the kitchen, doubled back a few paces and slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.  *What have I done to myself?* I thought. My thoughts were cut off upon entering the bathroom. I had pulled my sweater up to investigate the potential damage, I could see something staring back at me. At least, that’s what it looked like.  There was a face on my stomach. It was still under the skin but all the features were vaguely outlined by bruised, distended flesh. Right where the lump used to be… where the lump… used to…  *"Now you understand."* It said, seemingly satisfied in my terror I let out a bloodcurdling scream At this point, Claire came running into the bathroom, looking for the source of the yelling. “Jesus, what happened? Did you fall again?” Then her face drifted down to my stomach. “ What the fuck!” she jumped back, alarmed. “I don’t know what’s happening to me?” I grunted out. The pain was getting worse. Like razor blades tearing through my insides. I was on my knees now, clutching my abdomen with my whole body contorting in anguish. I starting begging. “Claire, I need help—help me! Jesus Christ, it hurts… ." It was like something was trying to dig its way out of me, parting my organs and crawling through stretched and broken fibres. The blood was pooling in my mouth as I tried to plead with Claire for help.  "Fuck! Claire, please! I took some pills—last week. I think there was… something in… please, call an ambulance!” I was barely able to speak at that stage. Our white bathroom floor was becoming stained crimson as I writhed around, completely helpless. Claire was just standing there—watching—and silent. Then, taking a step forward into the blood-covered floor, then she finally spoke.    “You’re always so in your own head…” she muttered. Taking a few more steps towards me. I said nothing. Just continued to scream and grunt, and something was breaking through my abdominal wall. She continued, “You don’t talk to me enough anymore to realise how cold you make me feel.”  I didn’t understand. Why wasn’t Claire helping? I was lying in a pool of my own blood, feeling like I was about to rip apart, and she was trying to have *this* conversation—now! “Claire, I’m… Please.” Tears were cascading down my face. Claire flatly replied, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you,” squatting down right next to me and stroking my face.  “…What about our baby?” I gasped.   “I’m not even sure it is… *our* baby…” Claire said. She stood back up. Sitting on the closed toilet seat.  I didn’t understand what she was talking about, not our baby? It was getting close now, I could feel finger-like appendages pushing up against my skin like it was cellophane and any second I was going to be split apart. Claire just watched as she said coldly. “Steve, the Christmas party… the one you dragged me to… it’s where I met him. You were drinking… a lot… and I was alone. Steve started talking to me, and he cared about what I had to say. He actually *listened* and seemed generally interested in me. For the first time in such a long time, I felt loved again. We kept talking, even after the party. Then, a couple of months ago, when you were going through your gym phase, we ended up meeting for coffee, just the two of us, for the first time. Between the gym and work, I never saw you. You wouldn’t even stop when I tried to tell you how I was feeling at the time. You said we would *talk later*, but later never came. It never does. So I called Steve. He came over, and five weeks later…”  She wasn’t even looking at me anymore. She just stared at my stomach and whatever was crawling its way out. I can’t put into words the pain I felt in that moment.  Claire carried on. “I was going to end it right there and then, but at that moment… you looked so genuinely happy, just like I did at that party, and— I couldn’t do it. After that day, things seemed like they were getting better. Finally! We seemed like our old selves again, like when we first met. But then you went right back to the self-pitying act, and once again, I became invisible to you. That’s when I came across an ad… *WHOLE NEW YOU*… seemed too good to be true. I made a decision… I sent you an anonymous email with a link that I knew you couldn’t resist. I’m sorry you have to go through this—but it’s what’s best for the baby… for Alice.”  Alice, that was going to be my child’s name. I liked Alice.   In my last few moments alive, all I could make out was a fetus-shaped thing dragging itself towards Claire. She knelt down and lovingly grabbed the creature into her arms, holding it next to her pregnant belly. “Alice, I’d like you to meet your new dad.” She said, smiling softly. Then, I died.  \*\*\* Ever since the hospital, I’ve never been so happy. Four months ago, Claire gave birth to the most perfect little baby girl, Alice. Things have been good; in fact, it’s the best it’s been for a very long time. The perfect happy family. Me, little Alice… and my now wife, Claire. As I open the front door, the first thing I saw was Alice beaming that adorable, gummy grin of hers. Claire was sat with her in her lap, joining me and Alice in smiling.   “You know, Steve’s not such a bad guy once you get to know him,” I said, gently closing the door behind me. I then sat with two of them, taking Alice into my arms and giving her a little poke on the nose, accompanied by a little *boop* sound effect. Alice’s smile is so wide now as she begins playfully grabbing my fingers. I look up to Claire; I’m so happy. “Did you have a good day?” I asked. “Just another perfect day with her, but it’s even better now. We’ve missed you” she replied. We then all got up together and walked into the kitchen to have dinner.  In the end, I couldn’t have asked for a better life now and I’m glad what happened. Though I’m gladder now that the memories are finally starting to fade. It’s been difficult, separating the old from the new. I did indeed die that day— but I was also born. For so long, overlapping; I guess I just needed time, like most things, change is good. I don’t regret what happened, not anymore. Though, I’m sorry Steve still doesn’t know about his daughter, but it’s better this way. I’m even more sorry that you—me— never got to meet her either. But that ad really didn’t lie, Claire did get a whole new you.

Hey everyone first time poster, My wife is having a baby soon and i’m trying to figure out how paternity leave works and how I’m supposed to request/use it. Do I need to go through my GM, Workday, or another department to get everything started? Any advice from anyone who has gone through the process would be greatly appreciated!

This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I used to have to really fight to win - tactics, positioning, items, and actively defending myself while finding ways to fight back. Lately, the enemies don't fight much, if at all. For example, they might point their weapons at me, surround me, threaten me, otherwise posture that they're going to attack, but it never materializes. I can dispatch them one at a time with simple attacks, no effort, and the narrative never punishes for it. I don't have to defend myself or think or worry at all, because the enemies just don't fight back. There's always posturing, their turn will involve them getting ready to attack. They're always just about to pull the trigger, just about to swing, etc. As a result, each round has me doing stuff, and them acting like they might fight back next turn. It's gotten really bad. In a martial arts tournament, every single opponent refused to swing back at me, always claiming that they would 'respond to my attack' or the challenge was to 'test my form', but it never materialized. I won the whole tournament taking on a naked level 1 character, the only damage I took was on a Mixed Results roll - the roll's failure described how I hurt myself punching wrong. In a battle against a Boss person, shiny purple character tag, the boss similarly never fought back. He'd goad me to attack him, talk about how much my attacks hurt him (barely lol), beg for more fighting, but he never once tried to stop me. Once I realized he wasn't fighting back, I just stood there doing one basic attack each turn to see if he ever would. He just went down without a fight. One thing I notice is that every non-combat NPC always gets a turn each round, but if there's a lot of combat opponents, their turns get skipped. Like I always need to hear what the scared NPCs are doing in full detail, but the people I'm actually fighting either take half-turns with no real actions, or get skipped entirely. For reference, I usually play on the popular Marvel-DC Combined world. Hard or Very Hard mode, multiple narrators on multiple fresh starts. I have tried Deepseek, Gemini, and now Qwen, same limp combat. I have tried Character State engine on all settings, including Ultra (Exp) as suggested by a Discord member. I have tried Teen and Mature setting, though historically I play on Mature. I have submitted several feedbacks to provide in-game examples of this happening. Wondering if anyone else is having the same problems? I recall a message a few weeks back about combat improvements and wonder if this is related? Combat used to be active, brutal, and fun, now I have nothing to do but look cool.

Need some help getting my 3 1/2 year-old consequences. I honestly feel like I don’t have time to read any books at the moment but I’m still happy for suggestions. My daughter just challenges everything at the moment and she does things that she knows to learn to doto learn to repetitively. It’s a mixture of extreme reactions to being told no to dangerous behaviours and just resisting things in daily routine because you’d rather do something else and if I tell her she needs to do it and stop her other activities it becomes an extreme reaction. I know how to give consequence when it comes to something she’s currently doing like if she has a behaviour that’s not good at the park we’re gonna leave the park. If she threw her toy at me while being upset I take the toy away. Time outs I try but she hardly sit still, will do things purposely to make me worry about her like her hitting her head on something or if it’s in her room she syattts thrashing around or jumping all over the place and either trashes it or again hurts her self. I’m so exhausted I have a migraine right now I’m going in. Or much sleep with my 5 m old and then she’s got behaviour issues. On top of this my husband is never fully on the same page as me. I’m aware this is an issue. I keep discussing it with him. It’s very frustrating. He doesn’t do it purposely to be against me but it’s more like a lazy thing as he doesn’t get much time with the kids work for a long hours and I just don’t think he wants to be the bad guy When I ask him to step up I feel like he becomes to strict and then she gets mad I feel Ike he doesn’t know how to talk to kids but in general his the more “fun parent” to play with. Anyway I’m exhausted

I am currently trying to find learning materials that parents can use with young kids who are getting ready for the IEP test. The kids already have their school books and homework but I want to find some extra things to use now and then for practice. This would help them in areas like reading, language, math and understanding types of questions. I am looking for things that're free or not too expensive. Things like printable worksheets, practice books, old textbooks, online activities, example questions or other learning tools would all be helpful. I don’t want anything that takes the place of what the kids learning at school. Just something that gives them chances to practice when they need it. I have noticed that it can be hard to find practice material because there are so many options online and it’s not always clear which ones are actually good for young students. If parents, teachers or students here have any suggestions I would really like to hear them. Free things would be best. I am also open to things that are not too expensive. What books, workbooks, websites or other materials have you found helpful, for preparing for the IEP test?. Are there any things you would not recommend?

Sebastian Mercado?

Title should be fairly clear. I couldn't find any answers online. On pictures of the ship's turrets, I couldn't make out any sort of ammunition stowage for these guns anywhere near them. The 12-pdr, to my knowledge, was a rather fast-firing gun. So how exactly was the ammunition for these guns supplied? I find it somewhat hard to believe that each shell would have to be manually carried out and human-chained (or just carried on foot?) from stowage inside the ship all the way to the guns themselves. This sounds extremely manpower-intensive, especially considering the amount of guns to supply and how quickly these rounds would have to be passed along to achieve a desirable rate of fire. Now, I'm aware the Dreadnought had no shortage of men, but it also feels like an excessively cumbersome way to feed these guns, especially in combat against fast, maneuverable torpedo boats. So how exactly were these guns fed? Was there ready-use stowage somewhere, potentially on the turrets themselves that I may have missed?

Any advice on helping our 12 year old Border collie/Golden mix get around? He comes home today. We have a sling and, of course, a cone to keep him from licking the site. How on earth does a dog this age learn to pee/poo with only 3 arthritic legs? I wish we had never gone for the TPLO.

Hi guys, Already taking Orilissa 200mg for approximately 2 and a half weeks. So almost 3 weeks. I feel like all these mental side effects are kicking in now. I’ve had hot flashes since the beginning but I notice being more irritable, moody, crying, and hating on my husband even more. 🫪 Have you experienced mental health side effects as well after taking orilissa for a few weeks? When did it occur for you and how did you feel? Hugs are going out to you as well ❤️‍🩹💗💗

How are these?

I have a chance to buy a relatives work truck for $32k. It has been strictly highway miles with regular maintenance, but it does have 75k miles already. I put on about 12k miles yearly with a lot of it being wide open highway miles. Has this engine been rated well so far? I have no idea what to do here. Thanks

Judgments power is very fun and hard to use but once you get a hit or down with it you get that dopamine spike from figuring out the trajectory (or hitting someone accidentally) and a little side note their new perk that swaps obsession is really good with wretched fate

like how? Its like allying with yourselves?

So now I have quite the dilemma lol. I’m on my second playthrough ever. And I didn’t finish my first one all the way through (back in 2018). Modlist is around 50 mods and mainly built around LEGO and More Reasonable Damage. I just cleared Velen and got to Novigrad. I won’t finish this playthrough before the update. What would you do in my situation? Pause this save file until after the update? Abandon this save and go vanilla when the update drops? Or try to mostly salvage my modlist a few weeks post update once modders start rolling out updates? I am leaning towards disabling updates on Steam and finishing it out. I don’t like the vanilla economy and loot system at all fwiw.

I just want to play a deck with a legend that i like, and have fun in the game. Any recommendation from Lol players becoming now Riftbound players?. thanks

I offered friendship. A mere curious mortal. Whyyyyy?!

I'm a indie developer , developing my first game , with a simple story mode (the characters doing poses with text boxes) , but i barely know digital art , while i make my own mahjong tiles (in paint net) because it was easy on a 200X80 square , it's too hard to make the characters digitalized by myself because i even barely know how to draw , so i adopted this cute design , but many people in indie community hates AI art , so idk if this is count as AI art , i tried krita to do by myself but i'm so terrible

The chemistry between them was insane. Just wondering if anyone else saw it.

I sadly couldn't replicate the pirate writing the brochure while getting increasingly excited about it.

Also posted on r/lawschooladmissions. Posting here because this implicates retaking/testing decisions, and more perspectives would be useful. Exact quotes are: (1) "If you retake after getting I would say a 174, it is a red flag. **You should never retake a 174.**" The chapter title for this part of the video is "Never retake a 174", but they do suggest a possible exception: "unless you're a super splitter who's like only thinking about WashU. Yeah, I mean maybe. But I don't think anyone really cares that much about WashU as to like retake a 174 just to like just play WashU's game better." (35:18-35:51) AND (2) "Every single AO I've ever seen look at a 175, 174, 177 has the same reaction. Wow, they're smart. When they look at a 180, they sometimes have a different reaction and they're like, what's wrong with this person?... **Honestly if I was applying to law school I would rather have a 178 and appear more human than to have a 180**... having a 180 is is almost distracting to AOs in a way." (36:13-37:20) Full podcast ep: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIHhbg5W8qM&t=420s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIHhbg5W8qM&t=420s) Both of these takes feel weird to me. Curious what y'all think.

Who needs a junction box when you can just tie the wires to some PVC?? Up until finding this I thought our house was actually wired pretty decently but after seeing this monstrosity I have doubts. The crazy part is that water was leaking behind this wall which prompted the discovery, it could have been so bad.

Made a free BBQ field guide for Aussie conditions — brisket, pulled pork, ribs etc with actual temps and timings, not just vibes Been deep in the smoker rabbit hole for a while and got sick of guides written for American cuts, American ovens, and American gear that isn't sold here. So I built my own reference site — Low & Slow. What's in it: \- Cook guides for brisket, chuck, beef ribs, pulled pork and ribs — temps, timing, stall notes, rest times \- A run of sides (beans, mac and cheese, corn, cornbread, slaw, pickled onion) \- A wood flavour reference \- Gear reviews using stuff actually available in Australia (Bunnings links etc), not US-only products It's free, no login, just a practical reference I wanted to exist. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback — especially if something's off on timing/temps, or if there's a cut or side you reckon is missing.

I didn't buy RE9 on release and I'm only just playing it now. WOW As somebody who has played all RE games since age 9, I was truly shook when I \*spoiler\* walked into the RPD building.

I’ve secured a 2L SA position at a BigLaw firm for Summer 2027. However, due to some mental health issues, I took a short break toward the end of the summer, right before classes started. I attended my first day of school, but was then required to undergo a mandated assessment. As a result, the school temporarily restricted me from campus pending submission of a mental health evaluation. I submitted the evaluation over the weekend, and I’ve been trying to get an update since Monday so I can understand the timeline for my return. My Dean told me she’s not in control of the process to “back off” and be patient and allow the “business process” to run Monday through Friday, 9–5. I haven’t heard anything since then. The problem is that my law school has a strict attendance policy, so I’m concerned about accumulating absences while I’m waiting for the school to make a decision that is outside of my control. What to do at this point? I’m thinking giving it till Monday so they have time. But idk.

Kellogg backs mobilization of women in Ukraine: "They fight as well as men"

Hello everyone! After checking the retail Molino models closely to know what to look for in my QC pictures I have noticed some of the temples metal stripe decorations are thicker than others. Does anyone know why that is? Does this indicate anything? Should I pay attention to it in my QC or are both possibilities acceptable for the Molino models? I ordered a Molino 51 and I want to make sure it's looking good before saying yes to the QC. (Check first picture for thicker and second for less thick. In the first one the three dots aren't touching the edge of the metal while in the second one they are.)

Breakfast Food Supremacy

It's so funny to me that the girls fans accuse of copying the sisters are actually way more put together, cooler, and pull off their old and new weird niche aesthetic they're trying to achieve way better than the Kalogeras sisters do. And surprise, they don't have to goonbait and oversexualize themselves to do it! 🫩 These girls are just effortlessly cool, stylish, and unique, everything the sisters are trying to be, but continue to fail at. And these girls also look clean, why do the Kalogeras sisters look dirty in almost all of their Instagram photos? It absolutely kills the aesthetic they're trying to go for. It's like they mash different colors that are way too dark for their skin tone on their face, put on dookie lip liner and call it a day. Especially Demitra, her makeup always looks like it's melting off 💀

So I got the fan disconnected error about a month ago and got around to replacing the fan today. I ordered one that was highly rated on Amazon and had reviews stating it fixed the problem with my exact grill. After replacing the fan and verifying it worked, I initiated a startup for 250 and it started up like it normally would with the fan ramping up and down as ignition started. About 5 minutes later I got the fan disconnected error again but the fan was still running, so I let it keep going to see what would happen. It smoked up more than usual and kept heating up the grill well past 400 when I finally intervened and initiated the shutdown sequence. Shutdown went as expected and everything turned off. Any ideas on what I can do from here to fix it? I'm assuming the control panel and the fan aren't communicating properly or something.

Hi there everyone! Im currently looking for some builders who are interested in helping me build a big mansion. Ive finished most of the EXTERIOR myself, but im far from finished with the interior. Im making this mansion for a huge video series im making. Besides the mansion, I also need people who want to help me build escape rooms for the video. Of course im looking for people who are able to communicate and who are kind to eachother, but I dont think that will be a problem :D If you want to help me, you can either msg me on reddit, or send me a dm on discord: lolpower1005 (P.S. I respond quicker on discord cuz I check that every day) Thank you for your time! lolpower1005

Hi all! I'm honestly bummed and at a loss for words...I'm on my 4th battery replacement within the last 6 years and I don't know what to do. The first 3 replacements I did with AAA and after that didn't help the corrosion issue, I invested in an AGM battery 3 months ago, and, lo and behold, corrosion on the positive terminal. Upon replacing the battery, I made sure to clean the previous corrosion thoroughly with baking soda and a wire brush and applied dielectric grease when installing the AGM battery, but this still happened? I checked for a parasitic draw with the DCM a few months ago with the dealer because I know it's a problem with some of the other Subaru models/Legacy and they didn't find anything. I'd appreciate any advice on what I should do going forward I'm desperate lol
