2024.06.01 13:59 seasidehoneydew Semi-no-contact Nmom found out I’m moving overseas… help

I don’t know where to start, this will be a long post. If you read through, thank you!
I first stopped speaking to my mother in 2019, I would now describe her as a covert narcissist but at the time I was just fed up with feeling like I was parenting an emotionally volatile teenager every time I spoke to her, every conversation ended in an argument and I was always to blame, always “breaking her heart”. I was an emotional (and on a few occasions as a teen, physical) punching bag and I just couldn’t take it anymore. For a few months her texts would switch between loving, heartbroken and scorned, getting meaner and meaner the longer I left them without a reply. She then started texting my boyfriend (now husband) to tell him how the no-contact was tearing her apart and giving him messages to pass on to me.
Fast forward, I fell pregnant at the end of 2021 and felt that she needed to hear the news from me. Less out of any actual desire to speak to her and more because I didn’t know what she would do if I let her hear it through the grapevine. I had read a couple of books about narcissistic parents by this point and set very clear boundaries for her. I would send her pregnancy updates and ultrasounds but I didn’t want unsolicited advice or constant phone calls and I was absolutely not prepared to hash out our “differences”. This was fine for a couple of months until is wasn’t and she stopped respecting my boundaries, called me non-stop until I answered and told me I was selfish if I didn’t want to talk. I pushed back and she told me to “have a nice life” and blocked me.
Our daughter was born 4 months later and at 4 days post-partum I got a text from her saying “I’m flying to name of my town on Friday, I don’t care if you don’t want to see me. You will show me my granddaughter through the window if you’re still not speaking to me”, I called her in hormonal hysterics while she was with friends and she answered the phone with this unnatural, sickly sweet voice and said “darling, you sound so upset what’s wrong? Do you have support at home?” It was like talking to a stranger, the thought of that phone call still sends a chill down my spine. My dad (they have been divorced for many years) eventually talked her out of the visit and she blocked me again.
This pattern has repeated itself multiple times over the past 2 years since my daughter was born, I set a boundary and she disregards it. I am selfish and she is heartbroken, she blocks me and I don’t hear anything for a couple of months. Then she begs me to unblock her so I can send pictures of her granddaughter. For clarity’s sake, I have never blocked her.
That brings us more or less to today. My family (husband, daughter, dog and I) will be moving overseas for work in about 2 months, this happened suddenly as is the nature of my husband’s job. We found out yesterday and my dad was the first person I told (we have a great relationship), he told his mom (my grandmother) and she told my mother. This morning I received multiple calls followed by a text from her telling me she’d like to have a “little chat”, reluctantly I worked up the courage to call her and she asked me straight away if we were moving overseas, I said yes. She told me “I will be coming to stay before you go” I told her that wouldn’t work, I have a lot on my plate preparing for the move and I would be lying if I said that a visit for her wouldn’t add more stress, she started to yell immediately asking “are you really so selfish that you can’t make time for your own mother?” I asked her to calm down and she said “now you’ve fucking done it, that’s it we’re done” and hung up, the whole call was less than two minutes and I hardly got a word in.
I couldn’t help it, I sat and cried for a while. As much distance as I have tried to put between us, hearing my mother speak to me that way still triggers this feeling inside of me and I revert back to this little child hiding in the corner of my room from my mom’s big feelings. I called her back and asked if we could talk calmly, my exact words were “I think your emotions are controlling you right now and I don’t want to leave things like that” unfortunately, she did not stay calm. She told me her heart was broken for me because one day my daughter would cut me off too and I’ll have regrets about the way I’ve treated my own mother, she said I am a my father’s surname through and through, that I’ve always been a selfish bitch who never thinks about anyone else’s feelings, she then told me to have a nice life (again) and that she never wants to speak to me again. She hung up after that.
I guess I just don’t know where to go from here. I feel sick and anxious and I’m not completely convinced that she won’t just turn up to my house anyway. The words “no-contact” sound so clear cut and linear but I feel like my journey has been anything but. Sometimes I think she’s right and I really am selfish for wanting distance, but accomodating her feelings constantly and mentally preparing for her next emotional tirade every few months is also affecting my ability to be present and healthy in my relationships with my own family.
I should mention that she has made no effort to take accountability for our relationship breakdown in the past 5 years. She will ask if I’m “over it yet” or resort to a disingenuous “fine, I was a terrible mother and I never did anything right” type of apology, she also laughed at me when I asked her to seek therapy if she wants any kind of real relationship in the future.
If you’ve read this far and you’re comfortable sharing, please tell me how you cope with the turbulence of no-contact or with emotionally immature parents in general. I would be so grateful to just know that I’m not alone in this.

2024.06.01 13:59 gregorseefood What diff does Gear 4 beat base Luffy at different points of the story (Dressrosa, start of Wano, start of Roof top, current)

Using the examples listed, I'm interested in trying to understand the increase in overall power Luffy receives from Gear 4 at different points of the story. This is a relevant question given that (I imagine we can agree on this) that Gear 4 was more powerful relative to his base form than Gear 4 is relative to his current base (given that he now has ACoC).
The potential diff level that Gear 4 Luffy beats his base form at different points of the story (using the above examples) could be:
Some considerations:
  1. The power increase (percentage increase) relative to base is the same;
    • Should your view be that the diff level Gear 4 Luffy beats base Luffy at is always the same, then it's your view that the sizeable overall power increase we saw with G4 vs Doflamingo should still exist.
    • In this scenario, say (only an example) that an awakened Doflamingo mid diffs base Dressrosa Luffy but is equal to G4, then it should also be your view that somebody who currently beats Luffy mid diff should only be equal to G4.
    • Relevent to this might be Luffy vs Kizaru; in this situation, should it be your view that Kizaru is equal to G4 Luffy then it should also be your view that Kizaru (or somebody of equivalent power) mid diffs Luffy.
  2. The increase is additive and a set power increase;
    • Should it be your view that whatever the quantifyable increase in power is that Luffy gets through G4 remain the same, then that means the added increase is "only" the difference in power we saw in Dressrosa. Depending on your view on how much power was "added" to Luffy vs Doflamingo, it might be your view that current base Luffy only adds a "Tobbiroppo level" amount onto his base form (if that makes sense).
    • Another way of looking at it would be; if it's your view that Luffy is 10x stronger than he was in Dressrosa, and Dressrosa base Luffy went from a 10 to a 20 using G4, then it should also be your view that current base Luffy goes from a 100 to 110 using Gear 4.

2024.06.01 13:58 MouseTheThird Had a wild KSP dream.

Downloaded Kcalbeloh, and have been playing a Science mode run thru recently. After staying up a bit late after taking a break from it and focusing on work, I had an insane dream of a distant Kerbal sequel. It was 1:1 with actual Kerbal gameplay, it was like I was watching a video.
After landing a helicopter SSTO on a massive, beautiful green planet with spire-type mountains and large poofy sea-green clouds (the landing was not soft, but we didn't explode), my kerb hopped out and began to explore. The mountain valley I had landed in was lush with trees and stones, and my kerb sauntered up to a rock to begin researching it. A very Ancient Greek-looking guy popped out and the kerb right clicked and began talking to him thru the menu system. Guess this isn't the first kerb to land here.
Then, a small mantis-creature slowly wandering around got a bit close and took a swing at the kerb, and our buddy took a little Kerbal tumble. I think I saw a health bar? Gotta get outta here before this thing makes me poof into dust. They hopped back into the chopper, and the takeoff was not smooth, taking a sharp angle too soon and bouncing the nose off the ground, slamming the back end and exploding.
Y'all... This is the game I want to play! A combination of Kerbal and No Man's Sky, while still staying purely Kerbal in design and UI. I remember thinking as I woke up how fun that was, what that kinda game would be like to play, the beauty of that planet, the human-like inhabitant complete with communication UI and the mantis "combat". And then to cap that off, a truly Kerbal ending of smashing an expensive ship into the dirt.
Not my first Kerbal dream, but none have been as remarkable as this one.

H.G. WELLS’S, THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1933) VS. 1984 AND BRAVE NEW WORLD

ID, IX. MAIORES. V, CAL. IUNI. FORTUNA PRIMIGENIA.

I discovered this book by complete chance last year – a very old hardback copy was given to me as gift (in a situation which was certainly weighted with the most unlikely of synchronicities), “huh,” I thought, “it’s a first edition of H.G. Wells,” the book itself almost cannot be opened because it is so old and falling apart so I procured a text and audio file of the thing relatively easily and began to read. In hindsight not only for myself but I fancy for the generations of the last fifty years - in all totality, it is deeply strange that this book has not been more widely recognized or taught in schools, as like 1984 and Brave New World, as being the third contender (although technically the second, published one year after Huxley – seemingly written at the same time interestingly enough) in “visions of dystopia” – except that the book is not so much a vision of dystopia tomorrow but a vision of dystopia ‘today’ or rather ‘life as we know it’ of the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries (endless war, endless pandemics, economic and logistic chaos), narrated from the comfortable and reassuring position of a society far far in the future who have long since revised their culture and solved all of the causes of the problems and become a society of genius polymaths “with (every Man and Woman) the intellectual equal of the polymaths of the ancient world.”
Now, I do not mean here to seem to ‘sweet-talk’ the reader into rushing out and buying this book or to hold it up in the manner of those other books as if it were some ideological blueprint but instead to assay the thing in the natural context which seems to me to be universally unrealized and which presents itself to us as a thing which is plainly self-evident, that is: that in the depressing and miserable dichotomy of 1984 and Brave New World; two extremely atomizing and miserable narratives, that there is also – far more empowering – The Shape Of Things To Come wherein the miserable protagony and antagony of both 1984 and Brave New World might read as merely a footnote somewhere in the middle of the book as an example of the witless measures mankinds old master undertook to preserve their power in an untenable circumstance. In other words, we know all about 1984 as children; we have this drummed into our heads and we glean our cultural comprehension that dictators cannot be cliques of business people but only lone individuals, usually in military uniform, and then we graduate from that to Brave New World to gain a more sophisticated comprehension of the feckless consumerism and ‘passive egoism’ by which our society actually operates, but then we do not – as I argue we ought – continue along in our education with this third book which actually addresses the matters at hand at a more adult level.
For instance, here, from ‘The Breakdown Of Finance And Social Morale After Versailles’ (Book One, Chapter Twelve) addresses in a single paragraph the cause of our continual economic chaos (of which all crime and poverty and war originates from) and highlights the problem from which this chaos cannot be resolved yet could easily be resolved, “adjustment was left to blind and ill-estimated forces,” “manifestly, a dramatic revision of the liberties of enterprise was necessary, but the enterprising people who controlled politics (would be) the very last people to undertake such a revision,”

…the expansion of productive energy was being accompanied by a positive contraction of the distributive arrangements which determined consumption. The more efficient the output, the fewer were the wages-earners. The more stuff there was, the fewer consumers there were. The fewer the consumers, the smaller the trading profits, and the less the gross spending power of the shareholders and individual entrepreneurs. So buying dwindled at both ends of the process and the common investor suffered with the wages- earner. This was the "Paradox of Overproduction" which so troubled the writers and journalists of the third decade of the twentieth century.

It is easy for the young student to-day to ask "Why did they not adjust?" But let him ask himself who there was to adjust. Our modern superstructure of applied economic science, the David Lubin Bureau and the General Directors' Board, with its vast recording organization, its hundreds of thousands of stations and observers, directing, adjusting, apportioning and distributing, had not even begun to exist. Adjustment was left to blind and ill-estimated forces. It was the general interest of mankind to be prosperous, but it was nobody's particular interest to keep affairs in a frame of prosperity. Manifestly a dramatic revision of the liberties of enterprise was necessary, but the enterprising people who controlled politics, so far as political life was controlled, were the very last people to undertake such a revision.

There is a clever metaphor I fancy that Wells worked in to this for the ‘actual’ defacto controlling class of things, that is: not really the politicians (sorry to disappoint the Orwell and conspiracy fans) but instead the ‘Dictatorship of the Air’ which might easily read as the ‘Dictatorship of the Airwaves’ – in colloquial language, that being radio and then television. Certainly we might imagine Rupert Murdoch or Ted Turner or Sumner Redstone (of yesterday) entering into honourable retirement as like the ‘dictators of the air’ of the very last days before the establishment of a one world state – in any case that is how things would work out, as the power of, say, Ted Turner to eradicate a political party in the United States – at any time he wishes – by simply green-lighting coverage of their bad actions relentlessly for months until revolution occurs is a real power of which no other institution possesses nor possesses any means of defence against, i.e. the ‘real power’ in our world to end a war or begin or war or end this or begin that is that power held by the organized press. This metaphor is somewhat of a more mature view, I think, than Wells earlier conception of the press in The Sleeper Awakes (1899) where the press of a dystopian future is visualized as a “babble machine” spreading circular nonsense to preoccupy the citizenry (although this is arguably a true representation of the mental processes of the Twitter and Facebook user, or of the general baby-speak and extremely infantile form of the news reports on the front page of the BBC News website) which is more or less what the press depicted as being in Brave New World also.
However the construction of sudden new realities (or sudden ‘actualities’) presented by the equation of interdependent technological innovations (i.e. the radio and the television in this instance) is mentioned early on in The Shape Of Things To Come in ‘How The Idea And Hope Of The Modern World State First Appeared’ (Book One, Chapter Two),

The fruitlessness of all these premature inventions is very easily explained. First in the case of the Transatlantic passage; either the earlier navigators who got to America never got back, or, if they did get back, they were unable to find the necessary support and means to go again before they died, or they had had enough of hardship, or they perished in a second attempt. Their stories were distorted into fantastic legends and substantially disbelieved. It was, indeed, a quite futile adventure to get to America until the keeled sailing ship, the science of navigation, and the mariner's compass had been added to human resources. (Then), in the matter of printing, it was only when the Chinese had developed the systematic manufacture of abundant cheap paper sheets in standard sizes that the printed book—and its consequent release of knowledge—became practically possible. Finally the delay in the attainment of flying was inevitable because before men could progress beyond precarious gliding it was necessary for metallurgy to reach a point at which the internal combustion engine could be made. Until then they could build nothing strong enough and light enough to battle with the eddies of the air.

In an exactly parallel manner, the conception of one single human community organized for collective service to the common weal had to wait until the rapid evolution of the means of communication could arrest and promise to defeat the disintegrative influence of geographical separation. That rapid evolution came at last in the nineteenth century, and it has been described already in a preceding chapter of this world history. Steam power, oil power, electric power, the railway, the steamship, the aeroplane, transmission by wire and aerial transmission followed each other very rapidly. They knit together the human species as it had never been knit before. Insensibly, in less than a century, the utterly impracticable became not merely a possible adjustment but an urgently necessary adjustment if civilization was to continue.

In other words, then, a global state (or, rather, such power in general held by the press as I see the analogy extending to them as being the ‘Dictatorship of the Airwaves’) was impossible to imagine and completely laughable before the technologies had stacked together to reveal as like in a simple piece of arithmetic which produced a single outcome of the equation; that no sooner had the technologies existed then the thing had become an actual reality – in that 1) unassailable political power had been unthinkingly dropped into the lap of the owners of the press, but that more importantly as consequence that therefore 2) mankind was subject to that power, that is: the situation existed the moment the technologies did – and this whether any living person had even realized it, as I think quite naturally all the time Men and Women invent things that they really have no notion of the fullest or most optimal uses of (“nothing is needed by fools, for: they do not understand how to use anything but are in want of everything,” Chrysippus), e.g. in no metaphor the television was quite literally invented as a ‘ghost box’ to commune with ghosts imagined to reveal themselves by manipulating the black and white of the static until someone else had the idea that there was at least one other use for that contraption.
It is quite strange, also, that in contemporary times we have for ages been heavily propagandized ‘against’ the idea of a “one world state” as if, say, all the crimes and fecklessness that have gone on in our lifetimes are somehow secretly building towards the creation of such a thing – not a thing you would naturally conclude from an observation of those events nor a thing advocated for by anybody (insofar as I have ever heard) but it is a thing which would be the first logical response to ‘preventing’ such crimes from ever occurring again – such as like the already widely practiced concept of a Senate-Style Federation of Sovereign States rather than a hundred or so mutually antagonistic polities capable of bombing themselves or screwing up their economies and creating waves of refugees or mass starvation or pandemics, and so on. For instance, All Egypt is dependent on the flow of the Nile which originates in what is today another country, that other country recently decimated the flow of the Nile by gumming up the Nile with a Hydroelectric Dam; such an outcome would not occur if the total mass of the land itself was governed as the single interconnected economic and environmental system that it is in physical reality of which, when divided along arbitrary borderlines, there is no means to govern the entirety of the region in an amicable and prosperous manner for all as a whole and no recourse to the otherwise intolerable situation but War which is unlikely to occur – as most Nations are comprised of civilized peoples who rightly loath the concept of War – but it is the single and unavoidable outcome to resolve such a situation until that situation has dragged on for decades, causing immense suffering, until it reaches that point of desperation – the matter of Palestine and Israel, fresh to my mind in these days, raises itself also.
Of the matter of War itself, in ‘The Direct Action Of The Armament Industries In Maintaining War Stresses’ (Book One, Chapter Eleven), Wells relays in 1933 what United States President Eisenhower would later remark in 1961 in his farewell address of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex; albeit far more analytically on Wells part, that: it is not so much the ‘desire to harm’ on the part of the armament industries which sees them engage in unnecessary build-up of weapons stockpiles but that it is simply their business to produce, to stockpile, produce more deadly variants and stockpile the more deadly variants and sell off their old stockpiles to whomsoever rings their doorbell; for instance the on-going War in Ukraine is no different in this regard to the Viet Cong and NATO Warfare in Vietnam in that massive quantiles of cheap munitions were necessary for the war to be fought in the first place and massive quantities of munitions happened to exist as a by-product of the Armaments Industries to be dumped onto the warring parties in order to facilitate their macabre impulses at the expense of the citizenry; both at their cost in terms of the debt taken on to procure the weaponry on the part of their governments and in terms of their lives when the weaponry was unused to the outcome of massive loss of life of a single peoples within a bordered space – a thing of no value to themselves. Simply put, albeit in a very simplistic reduction to the bare basics: the War would not reached such catastrophic inhuman proportions without massive quantities of cheap Armaments that otherwise sat taking up warehouse space for more valuable Armaments on the part of the producer and seller.

In a perpetual progress in the size and range of great guns, in a vast expansion of battleships that were continually scrapped in favour of larger or more elaborate models, (Armament Firms) found a most important and inexhaustible field of profit. The governments of the world were taken unawares, and in a little while the industry, by sound and accepted methods of salesmanship, was able to impose its novelties upon these ancient institutions with their tradition of implacable mutual antagonism. It was realized very soon that any decay of patriotism and loyalty would be inimical to this great system of profits, and the selling branch of the industry either bought directly or contrived to control most of the great newspapers of the time, and exercised a watchful vigilance on the teaching of belligerence in schools. Following the established rules and usages for a marketing industrialism, and with little thought of any consequences but profits, the directors of these huge concerns built up the new warfare that found its first exposition in the Great War of 1914-18, and gave its last desperate and frightful convulsions in the Polish wars of 1940 and the subsequent decades.

Even at its outset in 1914-18 this new warfare was extraordinarily uncongenial to humanity. It did not even satisfy man's normal combative instincts. What an angry man wants to do is to beat and bash another living being, not to be shot at from ten miles distance or poisoned in a hole. Instead of drinking delight of battle with their peers, men tasted all the indiscriminating terror of an earthquake. The war literature stored at Atacama, to which we have already referred, is full of futile protest against the horror, the unsportsmanlike quality, the casual filthiness and indecency, the mechanical disregard of human dignity of the new tactics. But such protest itself was necessarily futile, because it did not go on to a clear indictment of the forces that were making, sustaining and distorting war. The child howled and wept and they did not even attempt to see what it was had tormented it.

To us nowadays it seems insane that profit-making individuals and companies should have been allowed to manufacture weapons and sell the apparatus of murder to all comers. But to the man of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it seemed the most natural thing in the world. It had grown up in an entirely logical and necessary way, without any restraint upon the normal marketing methods of peace-time commerce, from the continually more extensive application of new industrial products to warfare. Even after the World War catastrophe, after that complete demonstration of the futility of war, men still allowed themselves to be herded like sheep into the barracks, to be trained to consume, and be consumed, by new lines of slaughter goods produced and marketed by the still active armament traders. And the accumulation of a still greater and still more dangerous mass of war material continued.

The book is, if the reader has likely already gathered from the excerpts, not written in the style of a protagonal narrative; i.e. not as a story, i.e. no hero and no villain, but as a sort of a Historia Augusta – that is really the most fitting comparison I think of when trying to describe this to a new reader (or perhaps J.J. Scarisbrick’s Henry VIII), that is to say it is written ‘as’ a History in the classical style we are familiar with from the better of the ancient writers, as like Appian or Cassius Dio, but unlike Suetonius or Tacitus it is absent of the sloppy hinging of all bad things on the highly personalized propaganda ad hominem (i.e. blame the fall of empire on one guy) that goes in those narrative works as we are typically familiar with them.
It is, of course, a work a fiction; although Wells did predict World War Two beginning in late 1939-1940 (although he had Poland putting up much better and longer of a fight against the Germans) and various other innovations, beginning from his own day with a true account of events prior to his own day – giving us a valuable account of affairs and actors prior to 1933 which would otherwise not come easily to any of us to discover. But the book, ultimately, is vehicle for the transmission and discussion of these societal (i.e. social, economic, industrial, logistic) matters presented to the audience of the day fresh, in their own minds, from the abject horror recently witnessed in World War One – and the economic catastrophes of which Roosevelts reforms had not yet come into tangible reality (i.e. relief for the poor, public works projects such as the motorways across America) as is discussed in that other seemingly little known H.G. Wells literary offering in his face-to-face interview with Josef Stalin the following year in 1934 (something which I think is of far more historical value than say, Nixon and Frost or Prince Andrew and Emily Maitlis), so as to ‘avert’ another crisis and pluck from the ether a seemingly alternate trajectory of where Mankind might at last get its act together. This ‘novel’ (thought it seems strange to call it that) ought be read, I would advise, in conjunction with ‘The Sleeper Awakes’ (1899) and also the (actually very depressing – I would not advise it) short-story prequel ‘A Story Of The Days To Come’ (1897) – set in that same universe – which, perhaps it is because I am English, seems to me to be a black horror show of the reality that we actually find ourselves living in this far into an actually dystopic future – or perhaps yet with the ‘strange windmills’ powering the mega cities that this a future yet to come (no pun intended); the broken speech, the babble machines, the miserable condition of the Working Class and their consumption of pre-packaged soft bread, the desire to flee the urban sprawl into the dilapidated countryside and make a little life in a run-down house with tacky wallpaper peeling away … ah, forgive me, my point is that ‘our condition’; i.e. those of us literate in English, is quite analogous to the condition of the central characters in those two stories; a culture dulled intellectually to the point that they can barely speak or think, being appraised and assayed by ourselves; those of us simply literate, as to render our commentary stuck as to seem as mutually alien as like Caesar in Gaul. However, it is in the context of the frame given to us in ‘The Shape Of Things To Come’ that we might gain a degree of sanity about this self-same situation; to study and lean into that dispassionate quality as to discern the nature of things as they are and recognize how important this quality is in relation to Well’s ultimate outcome for the best possible position of Humankind far far future, that is: that of Humankind’s vital intellectual capacity, and that the most striking message of STC, beyond all we have mentioned in this little overview, is that intellectual capacity in and of itself.
For example, when we consider the ‘actuality’ of the power of Turner or perhaps Zuckerberg in his heyday, for instance, we consider a power fallen into a Mans lap by an accidental stacking of disparate technologies created not by himself but of which possess a power utterly dependent in that same equation upon on a population being ‘witless’ in the first place and so led slavishly by the “babble machines”. However you cut it, reader, the great uplifting of Humankind to a standard of autonomy and intellectual prowess – not held by an elite but possessed by All People – is a thing both intrinsically self-sufficient within our grasp for our own selves and is certainly the prerequisite for political matters in that intellectual capacity of the voting public determines entirely whether a public is tricked or foolish and gets themselves into trouble by undertaking some obvious error or whether they are immune to such trickery and foolishness in the first place and that their energies and time are spent on more valuable pursuits. It seems to me that our contemporary society has done away with the notion of good character through intellect and that we live with the outcome of this; being shepherded by emotional manipulation and brute force because our society at large is treated as if we lacked the verbal and intellectual toolsets to understand anything else – moreover possessing no means to discern whether or not what is forced onto us is right or wrong; truth or lies, and so on. Such a society as this, again it seems plain to me, is ‘any’ dystopia because it is the baseline composition for ‘all’ dystopia; as like the foolish dogma of an out-dated ideology for example rests itself upon a large enough contingent of the public being either treated as if they were or in fact are “too foolish” to discuss or think a thing through, so a dogma is poured over them like concrete creating, in turn, intolerable circumstances as the dogma, tomorrow, becomes out-dated and suddenly instructs them to do foolish things, as like in the “Banality Of Evil” (read: Hannah Arendt) as the character in all serious perpetrators of inhumanity who insist, with a confused expression on their faces, that they were just doing their job – and this ‘quality’, of extreme ignorance, is the composition of the culture where such ‘evil actions’ occur.
I mean here that in STC we have on one hand a very in-depth account, very serious reading, to graduate the reader out of the depressive, atomizing, disempowering, conspiratorial milieu and mire of ‘life’ presented to us in 1984 and Brave New World, but that we have at the same time the very resonant harmonics that one does not need to “wait around for a distant future utopia” to “solve all the problems” but that the tools to do so are well within our grasp at any time we so choose and of which such an undertaking constitutes the foundation stones and tapestries of that future utopia which, I think, could be said to “meet us half-way” in many of these matters, as like we reach forward and they reach back and then those in the past reach forward and we in the resent reach back; that is anyway what it is to learn from the past and anyway the answer to “why the Grandfather sews the seeds for trees from whose fruits he will never eat.”

2024.06.01 13:54 LadderGreat7941 Please help me, im desperate.

Hello everyone. I have been an active player over the last 10 years or so, played multiple saves over time, already know most fixes for this game due of how long i've been playing. However, today i'm at wits' end with this game . Nothing i do works, the game does refuse to run.
Context: I have a particular save, of a multi generation family which i played for hundreds of hours. I've done all the adventures in world adventures, in all vacantion destinations, collected loads of relics that i have on display, all my sims have at least 5 carreers maxed out and retired, big 3 story house with $6M simoleons worked for etc etc , point is, i've been playing in this save for god knows how long ( 3+ years) and absolutely CAN'T afford to lose it
Over the years i've had to do windows reinstalls multiple times, i even bought a new computer and as always am accustomed to backing up my save files and have multiple of them, for just in case reasons. When i reinstalled windows for the n-th time all i did was reinstall the game + all EP, copy paste my Electronic Arts/The sims 3 folder in Documents and game would work just fine. I did this DOZENS of times, even on the new computer and THE GAME WORKED FINE.
Until yesterday. Yesterday something was up. Something that i can;t explain why, or what causes it.
The problem: Yesterday i had to reinstall windows due to fitting in a new SSD, and of course i proceeded on with the usual stuff needed for the game -- carefully install each and every expansion pack, and stuff pack, copying my save files, loaded up the game, changed settings, and loaded the save. Game runs fine. I save and quit. Next day, things got sour really quick. Right after i started up the game, loaded my save, gameplay begins, after like 5 seconds game freezes and EXITS to desktop. NO ERROR, no "ts3w.exe has stopped working', NOTHING. its just like i hit alt-f4. it just quits to desktop. Now i proceed to recopy my save file as i always keep it for such cases. I load up the save. Game exits to desktop in less than 3 seconds. I try one of my older saves from backup. Same behaviour. I am completely and utterly baffled. In my 10 years of playing this game i have never ever encountered this behaviour. Usually the game won't load a save, gets stuck in infinite loading screen, throws errors 12 and 16 if it can't save. or just crashes with "program.exe has stopped working". But not this. I am at my wits end. All of my backup saves and the main save are unplayable because of this, and i spent a horrendous amount of time in them. But it gets worse
Somehow in frustration i managed to load up the save, quickly head to city hall in my town and use nrass master controller to 'resset everything'. Game runs perfectly after that. i play for 2-3 hours, save multiple times, update ALL of my backups with this save, save again and quit. I load the save after 2 hours, game loads, gameplay begins and right after 2 seconds game quits to desktop. I do not know what to do now.
Things i tried: -running with no mods - same behaviour I usually dont run with loads of mods, i have nrass mastercontroller, overwatch and errortrap, and a mod of a notebook for my sims to write instead of the computer. That is all, in terms of mods -deleting files inside CurrentGame directory -reapplying a known working save -fiddling with graphicsrules.sgr and graphicsCards.sgr to make the game recognise my GPU (i do this the first time when i start the game after a fresh installation) - no effect.
Computer specs: Ryzen 9 7950x CPU RTX 4090 GPU 32 GB RAM 2TB SSD - game installation folder So basically spaceship level of performance for a game such as sims 3
So here i am, asking for your help. Please, if anyone has ever encountered this problem and is willing to share if they found a fix, any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
I checked the error logs, somehow they all have something like this: : ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xb70f0088, in some error logs it says ACCESS_VIOLATION writing adress xxxxxxxx
Thank you for taking the time to read and i hope you have a good day

2024.06.01 13:52 VinScratch777 Feeling anxious about having anxiety for life, how do you cope and will i ever live a normal life again?

Hey everyone, i have just been diagnosed some medication which is propranolol and mirtazapine for anxiety and my doctor said i could be on it for life. Its put me in a massive rut that was already bad because now i feel i will never function as a normal human again and my life and potential careers and relationships are over. I always suffered with bad anxiety and had bad ruts but always got over them as i had answers and it calmed my brain down. It started with health anxiety which started bad but got better with time and tests and then i got work anxiety that fucked my life up for a month but i quit the job and got over it and went to enjoying my life and looking for remote work.
Now i'm in the worst rut ever and im scared i will be like this for life as i dont see a way out this time. A month ago i had an existential crisis which stemmed from a video i watched on youtube about not knowing life and for all we know we might not be real and all this different scary shit (i so regret watching this) which has fucked me over as there is no answers to this so my brain is fixated. For 2 weeks i was getting up and feeling so fucking depressed but the anxiety didn't full set in yet and i was just existing but still enjoying little aspects of life and trying to make my self come around. Fast forward to 2 weeks into this and hell truly began as i started also looking for work and i had this massive meltdown where it all got on top of me. I started having 24/7 anxiety attacks and still do now where i feel sick all day (can't eat), i'm shaking like no tomorrow and my heart feels like it will explode any minute with how much shit its going thru. I think with this existential shit on my mind + having to find a job as i want to be normal its really getting to me and my anxiety is fully taking over. I'll be honest i don't see a way out. I'm now fretting i will be like this for life and my 'normal' self has forever left me. How can i function like this? My anxiety is getting scared of even it-self. I keep reading depressing stories on here with people with GAD and severe anxiety saying its never the same for them again and they just 'manage'? what kind of life is that? i cant function or do anything, i dont enjoy anything anymore. My mum broke down as shes so clueless on what to do and thats another thing im anxious about, disappointment. I keep imagining i will be in an asylum and never have a chance at life anymore. I'm so fucking fed up and i have cried countless times. Please any advice or help. Does this get better or is it over for me. Fucking mental health is never ending.

2024.06.01 13:50 kpgummies [F4M] Super Mario World

I wasn't big into the Mario games. Kinda dumb baby games, or at least that was what I thought of them. My friend convinced me to play this new one though.... or maybe it was a remake. Either way I booted it up, of course I didn't wanna pay for a game I wouldn't like, and started to play. I got pretty far in it. It was pretty darn good. Odd focus on the world and characters. That was whatever though, not like it actually mattered. I played a bit more into it and got to a new area called the temple of experiences.
Fun gimmicks all around. As Mario you had to do certain tasks as different types of creatures from the world. Stuff like Goombas and Toads to more obscure stuff like a Shadow Siren or Broodal. But oddly, while I was nearing completion I felt more and more tired. But I got to the end... and oddly the boss wasn't a few jumps and you could beat them. It was some weird thing that asked questions. Then there was one of the final questions. "Have you tried all your possibilities?" I answered yes. then they asked "Good, which would you prefer?" A bunch of options appeared, each something from the universe. I selected and slowly fell asleep... guess I was tired.
I woke up in a jolt though, I felt odd... and then when I opened my eyes everything looked weirder... It only got weirder when I looked down to find myself... yet not myself. I was now stuck in the Mario universe as whatever I had picked!
So! You may be asking, "Why did you make this plot?" The answer? Paper Mario. I love the world and characters in that series and thought it would be fun to play out some stuff in the world! So speaking of that world, we should set some ground rules for it. These can be human versions, anthro or even just how they look in the games. All depending on what you're comfortable with. I'm fine with anything really. It could be a bob-omb or cheep cheep for all I care! I'd love to make my new character in there!
As for you? Who do you play? Well, I would like if you played a character who was in the world. No, not someone we already know like Mario or Luigi or Peach or Daisy. No... a background character basically. A toad or a goomba. Again, I am fine with anything. We could be a Yoshi and a Birdo for all I care! I do have a list of the ones I would like to play though! Just ask for that! Aside from being a background character... well... we can make up details about who you are and what you do and where this all is whenever we want! Mario has a pretty big world so we can use a new town we make up or a pre-established town like Toad Town or Petalburg. The sky is the limit... except if we do galaxy stuff and then it's even further!
I would like this to be a kinda chill RP, long term with a lot of slice of life stuff mixed with some fun Mario shenanigans. Like we can jump and run around all we want but really... we're a bit weak so it'd be best if we don't go too far out of town! Anyways... that's the jist of all this. A chill RP in the Mario world with fun elements all over! I would love to see exactly who wants to do this and what will come of this! Please don't hesitate to respond! I'll see ya soon!

2024.06.01 13:48 GameKingSK Review of the game after almost 2 weeks

Review of the game after almost 2 weeks
XDefiant has been out for almost 2 weeks now so I’d like to share some general observations I’ve made over the pre-season period. I have a little over 11 hours of pure in-game time, while Ubisoft Connect shows a little less than 20 in total.
https://preview.redd.it/p8ei6wig7y3d1.png?width=1720&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd14474018ba5365ec45d1059f7093b8cf0d880a
I’m not a pro or anything, but I think I’m decent enough to provide good feedback.
The positives:
  • No skill-based matchmaking is great, at least for me
  • The maps are generally quite good
  • Gunplay is fun and the guns are relatively balanced within their classes, nothing is too OP like say the pre-nerf Model 1887 from MW2
  • The current gamemodes are good, I like the spin they did on kill confirmed
  • I like the ability to modify your loadout mid-game
  • Game generally runs well on my hardware without major issues, though I did get weird stutters that I fixed by switching between DirectX versions
  • Having characters from Ubisoft games with unique abilities is a pretty interesting concept
The negatives:
  • This is not necessarily a negative since it’s tied to the game being a free to play arena shooter, but I thought it was worth noting – it’s never going to be a CoD killer, and I think the #1 reason for that is the amount of content. CoD has a campaign and Warzone, on top of more guns, perks, killstreaks, etc., XDefiant is never going to have the diversity of CoD
  • Obviously, hit registration. It has improved since the start, but there are still improvements to be made. I’ve noticed that my last shot (especially when using a DMR or sniper) often only registers clientside, but not serverside. I don’t know if there’s any fix to this since it’s mostly a byproduct of higher ping, but it’s very annoying
  • Sound feels inconsistent, gunfire drowns out a lot of other noise like footsteps. Sometimes it’s very easy to track an enemy based on their footsteps, sometimes they just appear next to you with no prior warning
  • Snipers need to be adjusted, playing aggressively with them should be more difficult since at the moment, there is pretty much no sway or flinching
  • The progression is too slow, I think 1.5x the current rate of earning weapon XP should be a pretty good adjustment
  • There need to be more camos unlockable by gameplay, not just the bronze, silver, and gold skins we have currently
  • Screen shake from grenades is a little obnoxious, especially since the grenade spam in this game is pretty strong
  • Chat censorship is should be off by default, at least in my opinion
  • The game seems to discourage diversity when it comes to classes. Instead of everyone using something else to make a versatile team, I feel like it’s stronger to pick the same class and use the ability one by one (to get a “permanent” wallhack, shield, or always have a spider on the ground)
  • Speaking of the spider ability – I’m not sure it’s the right way to go. Unlike, say, the heal ability, it doesn’t really benefit the player who used the ability (since they’re often not following the same path as the bot), but it hugely inconveniences the receiving player
  • They should probably also reconsider the phantoms’ extra HP boost and find a more suitable passive
  • Echelon’s ult is OP and needs to be nerfed, not because of the wallhack, but because of the extremely strong pistol
  • An option to adjust sensitivity for all specific sights should be added
  • Having collision turned on for teammates and off for enemies feels counter-intuitive
  • No ping system
  • Make lobbies persistent
  • Spawns feel pretty bad sometimes, I’ve spawned out in the open directly into the line of sight of a Phantom DMR player sitting behind a shield, with no way of fighting back. Make the spawns happen in the same general area but not one exact spot
  • Escort matches run even though it’s literally impossible to win because you don’t have enough time to push the objective. Imo they should make it so that if you push uninterrupted after the time has run out, you go into overtime until you reach the previous position and earn a draw, or the push is interrupted and you get a loss
This may seem like a very negative post from the number of points I made, but please note that these are mostly small adjustments that should be looked into, not large fundamental changes.
Overall, I enjoy the game a lot and if the devs can support it, I will keep playing for a long time.
Other notes and observations:
  • Movement is something that I didn’t mention in my positives or negatives because it seems extremely subjective. I personally lean towards keeping it, maybe with some small adjustments, but it’s also the #1 reason I hear from people who don’t want to try the game or keep playing it. Imo, it will cause a divide similar to building in Fortnite
  • So far, I haven’t met many cheaters, maybe like 1 in my whole playtime, but as we know, BattlEye is not the most amazing anti-cheat, so I hope they can stay on top of the issue
  • A setting to not join matches mid-game should be considered, though this may make gameplay less fun for people whose teammate left the game and now they’re stuck in a 5v6. They should at least make the loss from a match you joined mid-game not count
  • The battlepass only seems to have skins for weapons I’m not interested in playing
  • Play the newcomer gamemode if you can, it’s easier than jumping straight into randoms
  • I think they should add all chat and maybe even voice chat for the whole lobby (yeah I just wanna trashtalk people)
  • They should explain how skill rating is calculated since it seems pretty weird, but I think it increases linearly with playtime
  • Gun attachments don’t seem to matter that much, there’s no “busted” or meta loadout for most guns and you can do well with almost any combination of attachments
  • I hope the game receives frequent updates with gamemodes, maps, weapons, etc. because I’m worried that I’ll get bored eventually

Putting up a front is a slight hassle
Personality as real as nutrition in a white castle
On the outside looking prideful as a flag
But internally struggling like a straight married man doing drag
Real happiness start coming slow like the game when it lag
Bottle it all up until its explosive as a frag

found em on the ground they might have some aids
but if quenching my thirst was money i got paid
…
i didn’t actually drink a half drunk drink
my bad if thats what you think
didn’t mean for it to be alarming
it was a metaphor for how people be self harming
while they think they cleaning they life like charmin

this mentality don’t help you live long
it make u act like a monkey, like king kong
outside sources so controlling like fent
tryna make everyone complacent
got our minds all twisted and bent

life would be better if we did what we meant

reap what you sow
don't be a sheep when you know
you gotta leap to the glow
understand why you wrong
dont get mad that take long
accepting your mistakes mean you strong
im not paying attention in chem writing this song
me and what my brains wants don’t always get along
head in the sky, neil armstrong
thinking bout lyrics, luis armstrong
mike tyson? yea his arm strong
cheech and chong just hit the bon-

can i say that? lemme not
let me get back to my thought
in life you gotta use what you got
and soley what you got, happiness cant be bought
well it can, but only for a lot

and in the process you lose your soul
all that takes a tole
so don’t hide like a mole
live life and set a goal

for better
feels more comfy like a really soft sweater
take lead of my life just like a header

our minds always change, this state of mind won't be my last
so many times my perspective exchanged in the past
I can remember when all I could think about was ass
now everything is about how life is fragile like glass
but in this moment i’m just trying to pass this class
never was religious never went to mass
I live by the fact that I can't act too rash
catch the Id thought like my name is ash
then take that shit into the trash

see from perspectives other than your own
take your face out from the depths of your phone
chasing pleasures like a dog and a bone

as a human race
we are at the place

2024.06.01 13:44 delijoe Way of Kings review from a relatively new reader

So I just The Way of Kings today. I am relatively new to Sanderson's books and more importantly my prior experience with his works were less then stellar.
I really didn't care for Mistborn all that much. I don't want this to turn into a review of Mistborn but suffice it to say coming from all time great epics like Wheel of Time or Lord of the Rings, Mistborn just didn't connect for me in the same way that those did. Maybe it was my distaste for "heist" fiction, or maybe it was the IMO somewhat bland magic system that felt more like I was reading a superhero novel. I also didn't care for the fact that besides Vin, all the major characters were male. There was definitely some decent worldbuilding there, and I actually think once I get to the 2nd Era of Mistborn I might like it more.
Recently though I decided to jump back into Sanderson with The Way of Kings. I first watched some "introduction to the Cosmere" Youtube videos so I wouldn't miss any references to the universe as a whole. Then I dug into the first book in audiobook form, and I'm now done and my first question I have to ask is this:
Was this written by a different author?
My one sentence summation for The Way of Kings is basically "What if Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time had a baby, and that baby was pumped full of steroids". I also thought how the hell has this not been adapted into a series of movies yet, because this is probably the most epic of epic fantasy I've ever read.
When I read epic fantasy, world building is one the most important things that I want to see done well. It's nice to see fantasy cultures that aren't just clones of various medieval European feudal states. I was immediately fascinated with the Alethi culture from it's racism based on eye color to it's squabbling highprinces, to it's interesting take on gender roles, to the very unique Vorinist religion. The amount of backstabbing and betrayals amongst the lighteye nobility puts Game of Thrones to shame IMO. Most importantly however is the world of Roshar and how it's flora and fauna are shaped by the presence of persistent powerful storms that ravage the entire continent. You could probably do a nature documentary of Roshar and have it narrated by David Attenborough. I'd watch that in a heartbeat!
Unlike GoT however, we get an amazingly well crafted and complex magic system that is thankfully introduced to the reader (and the world in general) slowly so that your not overwhelmed by it's complexity. I love the concept of Spren... it's just such a fantastic and unique aspect to both the magic system and the world building. I also love the concept of Stormlight and how it can be stored in gemstones and used to do various magic. It makes it very scientific in one sense but still capable of performing awesome "magical" feats that Allomancy from Mistborn really didn't have.
Sometimes authors who excel at world building tend to be weaker when it comes to character work, but that's definitely not the case here. Kaladin and Dalinar are the stars of course, and both are many times better then any character in Mistborn IMO, but there's so many great characters. Kaladin's bonded spren Sylphrena brings a beacon of light to an otherwise pretty grim set of circumstances. I so love scholarly uptight nerd characters and Yasnah is the uptightiest. I'll take Kaladin's bridge crew over Kelsier's crew any day of the week. Especially Rock. Rock's the man. I also didn't think Sanderson had it in him to write good romance after what I saw in Mistborn but the scene later on between Dalinar and Navani was surprisingly excellent. I don't really care for Shallan all that much, as for someone so intelligent she surely makes a lot of bonehead choices. And then there's Wit/Hoid... I can tell he's probably some kind of powerful entity or trickster god or something.
And then the twists. Oh the twists. Some of them were positively shocking. The Parshmen twist especially. It's looking like it could be the fantasy equivalent of an AI robot uprising. And I knew that kindly king Teravangian was too good to be true.
So yeah, The Way of Kings is great. Blows Mistborn completely out of the water IMO... in basically every way possible. Definitely borrows a lot from Jordan and some from Martin, but adds in a great magic system with fantastic world building and surprisingly great characters.

2024.06.01 13:43 ChocolateDefiant6995 How do you typically fix indexing issues?

When there are indexing issues, it means search engines aren't properly finding and storing your website's pages. Here's how I typically fix this:
Check Robots.txt: Make sure your robots.txt file isn't blocking important pages from being indexed.
Submit XML Sitemap: Create and submit an XML sitemap to search engines. This acts like a roadmap for them, showing all your website's pages.
Review Meta Robots Tags: Check your meta robots tags on each page to ensure they're not set to "noindex," which tells search engines not to index that page.
Fix Broken Links: Broken links can prevent search engines from accessing pages. Fix any broken links on your site.
Use Fetch as Google: Use Google Search Console's "Fetch as Google" tool to manually request indexing for specific pages.
Internal Linking: Ensure your website's pages are well-connected through internal linking. This helps search engines discover and index pages more efficiently.
Check for Duplicate Content: Duplicate content can confuse search engines. Use canonical tags to specify the preferred version of content and consolidate indexing signals.
Review Server Errors: Check for server errors that might be preventing search engines from accessing your site. Fix any server issues promptly.
Monitor Google Search Console: Regularly monitor Google Search Console for any indexing errors or issues reported by Google.
Be Patient: Sometimes, it takes time for search engines to index new content or changes. Be patient and continue to monitor and optimize your site for better indexing over time.

2024.06.01 13:42 dreamy_glitter Doing my own wedding make up and have no idea what I’m doing! Would really appreciate some help!

Doing my own wedding make up and have no idea what I’m doing! Would really appreciate some help!
Hi!! I’m getting married 5 weeks today in Italy and I’m from the UK. I had a bridal trial in April which I felt really unhappy with because I did not feel like myself at all. So I didn’t go ahead with the service for the day, but I haven’t been able to find anyone else and so have resigned myself to the fact that I’m going to have to try my best on my own.
I’m really not confident in how I look and also embarrassed about how poor my skills are. I have tried to go to a lesson which I will show a photo of. I can see that this is technically great but I just felt like it was too much for me. I don’t typically wear a lot of make up and I felt very conscious of not recognising myself. But I just think there is something off about the make up I did myself, it looks too heavy handed and maybe not enough make up at the same time.
I will list everything I did in the order I did it. If you feel like helping I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much if you do!
Skin prep:
QMS MEDICOSMETICS Epigen Pollution Detox Cleansing Gel
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner
SCULPTED BY AIMEE Cloud Cream
Make up:
CHARLOTTE TILBURY Flawless Filter shade 3
SCULPTED BY AIMEE HydraTint shade 4.5
HOURGLASS Vanish Concealer shade OAT
SCULPTED BY AIMEE Cream Luxe Bronzer shade Medium/Dark
SCULPTED BY AIMEE Cream Luxe Blush shade Pink Supreme
HOURGLASS Blush shade Mood Exposure
NYX Brow Glue - clear
ELF Ultra Precise Brow Pencil shade Neutral Brown
HOURGLASS Eyeshadow shade Bee
SEPHORA Colourblock liner shade Hot Chocolate (smudged so much it’s barely there!)
BEAUTY PIE Wrap Star Tubing Mascara shade black
HOURGLASS Ambient Light Palette II
HUDA BEAUTY Baby Bake shade Peach Pie
CHARLOTTE TILBURY Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Please note I have had really bad breakouts due to stress in other areas recently and working hard to make sure that’s gone asap. I also have a bruise on my chin at the moment. I had a chemical peel last week and I use a red light mask every day.
I will get my brows done and have a lash lift before the wedding. I might do some cluster lashes on the outer corners. I don’t love how big and shiny my pores are and my skin is really oily. I will probably do just Summer Fridays lip balm on my lips. Maybe Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat liner in shade Pink Venus. All these shades have been recommended to me on the various counters/shops. Please ignore my hair!!
Sorry I know this is so long and doesn’t make sense but please if you have any tips or suggestions I’d be so grateful to hear them!!

2024.06.01 13:41 Inevitable_Fig_5667 My Rant about Cecily -

Let me start off by saying I had followed her for years. Back when she was making her little videos that would only get 100 or 200 likes. I was like, wow she seems genuinely nice. Boy, that didn’t last long. Whether you are a Christian or not, it’s important that you know she’s a pastor’s wife, and her whole mission from the beginning was to be a “genuine and authentic christian influencer” since they “don’t exist anymore”. Flash forward a few months, the changes slowly started happening. The videos were getting more likes, the influencer accent was adapted, then the nail tapping and the quirky little smiling at the beginning of videos.
Now, it is her life; But the ONLY reason she became so famous was the desperate young christian women who needed a role model, (who she promised to be) the ones she’s completely forgotten about while she’s living her high-rise lifestyle. Put aside her doing every brand deal under the sun and becoming insanely un-relatable, what really irks me is the hypocrisy.
(Ik y’all don’t want discussion on church but I thought it would be best to mention all of this to give some context especially of her origin)
I think she has went against her old “core values”, I think she’s fake, I think she’s a hypocrite, and I think she just wants to play a pastors wife v.s being one. I remember all of the women in her comment section thanking her for not being so out of touch, flash forwarded today and she’s so far gone it’s crazy. Like her buying a brand new Mom car that she completely trashed right after getting it, when she just got a brand new car when they moved- I can’t. And randomly spending anywhere from $400 to $600 a week at grocery stores for a “small haul”. An assistant? A stylist? 💀
Now maybe you don’t agree with that and that’s fine, but my final straw (that ended up getting me blocked) was this-
A sick Child. What do you do when your child is sick? You comfort them right? Clean up the mess? Not Miss Cecily, why would she do that when it’s peak time for content. Better to just run into the bathroom with your phone and set it up and scream across the house and ask “is Jackson still throwing up”. Then rubbing your eyes like this has been so difficult for you (bless her heart).
(Video has since been deleted, I believe she took it down the same time that she took the GRWM to go to my grandmas funeral down. She did a full post and comment sweep)
Or my fave, what got me blocked
“Oh my Gosh you guys, Sam hung this picture up of me on our wall from a magazine I was “randomly” in” Girl, give us peasants some credit. You weren’t randomly in anything 💀 not only that but then she goes and shoves the camera in Sam’s face while he’s doing dishes and is like “SHAMMMM AWWWWW SHAMMMM” girl. How tiring it must be to not have one genuine moment to yourself that you don’t think to pull out a camera and post it on the Internet.
I had unfollowed her at this point , but thanks for the TikTok algorithm she was still all over my feed. Thankfully she blocked me after several hundred thousand people in her comment section were agreeing with me that she needs to keep some of these moments to herself.
I really just can’t stand her 😭 thanks for your time, hope you enjoyed the story ❤️

As the best astrologer in the UK, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples navigate the complexities of love and marriage. One of the most crucial factors that can make or break a relationship is compatibility. When two individuals are compatible, they share a deep understanding of each other’s needs, desires, and values, which creates a strong foundation for a lifelong bond. On the other hand, when couples are not compatible, they may struggle to communicate effectively, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings.
In astrology, compatibility is measured by the planetary positions of the couple, particularly the Sun, Moon, and Venus. When these planets are in harmony, it’s a sign that the couple is destined for a happy and fulfilling marriage. For instance, when the Sun is in a harmonious aspect with the partner’s Venus, it indicates a strong sense of love and affection, which is essential for building a strong and lasting relationship.

By understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses, couples can work together to build a stronger and more resilient relationship. As the best astrologer in the UK, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of compatibility in marriage. By embracing the unique energies and vibrations that each partner brings to the table, couples can create a love marriage that is not only fulfilling but also long-lasting.

2024.06.01 13:40 LittleContext Suggestions for editing long musical theatre multitrack recordings?

Sometimes I find myself involved with theatre musicals that require editing entire multitracked shows that are about an hour to two hours long. We don't have a person to mix the recording live at the moment, so it's all recorded as wav files and edited in post.
As you can imagine, one show can take an entire day to edit on its own, and soon these shows will be happening every day. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to make this process faster?
I'm using Nuendo 13 (essentially like Cubase) on a Windows 10 PC: 16GB of DDR4 RAM, Intel i5-9600K 6-core 3.7GHz processor, and an NVMe M.2 SSD.
The things I'm struggling with specifically at the moment are as follows:
I know this is a very specific set of circumstances that not everyone has to deal with that often, but if anyone has any advice or suggestions I would really appreciate it!
