This community explores the possibility that human souls are trapped in Earth's reincarnation cycle, since there is plenty of evidence indicating that this could be the truth. Evidence suggests that after physical death, human souls are time and time again wiped of their memories and sent back to Earth to live more physical lives, for reasons that do not benefit us, but those who are interested in farming us, meaning there is a possibility that Earth could be a soul farm or a prison planet.

2024.06.01 13:14 lnArcadiaEgo 24 Australian guy never felt any connections

So my name is Eren I'm male 24 and born and raised here in Australia, so like the title kind of implies I've never felt a human connection to anyone I've talked to and because of that I usually get bored of the people I talk to pretty quick and it never goes long term. I have a hard time getting emotion or giving it as well and although I've never gotten it checked out I've been told it could be something like aspd or something like that, despite this all, I'm fully content with who I am and it doesn't bother me.
So anyways I'm down to see if someone gets my attention and changes that, or can just chat short term or something as well, I enjoy talking about people's ideals and lives, I feel like I've had a more interesting life which has probably shaped the person I am now. Anyways feel free to send a message.

2024.06.01 13:12 Anon-imu Should I be charging for 2 test nights before the actual sit ?

Hi all, my regular customers booked dates in July with me in January, we got our own puppy in May and they were super excited for us!
Our dog gets along with everyone well & has been fine with all the dogs we’ve been boarding so far.
The regulars dog barks & growls at others all day long but has never shown any sign of aggression and has even been boarded with other dogs before & was just grumpy but never hurt them. She usually tends to just go to her own corner and doesn’t want to interact with them.
So now we’ve already had a meet & greet during the day for 2 hours and their dog kept growling/ avoiding ours as expected. They now suggested us to take their dog for 2 nights to test how the girls would get along before July.
Should I be charging for that ? I mean we got a dog so it’s on us now that there has to be a test nights. We didn’t have one when they originally booked the dates. I’m thinking to just do it for free as it’s “on us” to have gotten a dog if that makes sense.

2024.06.01 13:12 RjakActual Hellbent on Satisfying my Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Craving

Quick:
Has anyone successfully run Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion on Apple Silicon in the past few years? How about Sins 2?
TL;DR:
Every couple years I get a Sins craving and I play it for 3-4 months and then I'm good for another couple years. I'm WAY overdue for a Sins binge and even though I have a brand new M3, for the first time I don't have any way to play Sins.
On my older machines I played it through bootcamp or VMWare Fusion which worked great.
Tried installing Fusion but it looks discontinued and when I go to download the new free edition from VMWare I'm dumped to a login screen at broadcom dot com which is not explained and sus as fuck.
Tried playing it through Whisky, but Sins is an old game so it's unsurprising it freezes and crashes there.
Tried playing it through Crossover but every couple minutes it freezes for a good 20-25 seconds. Unplayable.
I tried with another GPTK front end but it wants you to buy the game on GOG. I'd happily buy Sins for a third time if I had some guarantee it'd work.
I despise the entire business philosophy and experience around GeForce Now.
SO: Has anyone had any luck running Sins in the past couple years on Apple silicon? Parallels, straight Wine? Have any of you been able to run Sins 2 from the Epic store on Mac?

2024.06.01 13:10 Ok_Tank7588 Hot/cold breadcrumbing

Like seriously why
I’ve been talking to this girl for a couple of weeks. We’re long distance, had two video calls.
Our first call, she’s an hour late, apologetic. Second one, she wants to chat right the next day. Alright. Then flirts with me until 3am her time.
I’m busy for a few days, text her once a day. Once I’m more free, I try to chat more with her, but her replied are completely dry. I express interest in chatting with her again, she watches my insta stories that day, but doesn’t reply.
After 48 hours I just assume she lost interest (combination of being late, dry replies, watching my stories but not replying).
… then she appears after 5 days with voice msg-s about how she’d like to do the next call.
To this I basically told her that it’s fine if she’s busy but unless she communicates that, please don’t text me again.
I don’t want to force anyone into a convo or take up their time, but I feel like if you can’t reply for a day it’s polite to let the person know you’ll get back when you have the time. Especially with how common ghosting became.
Fwiw I don’t feel like cutting her out just yet, and I’d rather see if she’s willing to communicate a bit more.
But (and I know this doesn’t really matter) why behave like this? Like why act super interested then abruptly pull back? Why act interested again?
I get if someone isn’t that interested and it’s fine, but why tease me about how she’d show me around if I flew in then disappear for days?

2024.06.01 13:10 Lucimon45 Iron Throne from Baldurs Gate 3 in D&D 5e?

Spoiler warning: The following contains spoilers for Baldurs Gate 3 Act 3.
Once every year, I host a special D&D day for my players. We play D&D for a very long while and also always include a special event. Last time for example, we did a very fun PvP session (disconnected from what's actually going on in the campagin).
My players enjoyed a lot of Baldurs Gate 3 recently and especially the Iron Throne stuck with them. They were amazed by the idea and therefore requested something like that as our special event play. In general, I do like the idea.
Of course I will not make it exactly the same, but from what I have got, they would like to have it somewhat of a jailbreak with a limited turn timer before the whole thing collapses. They would have the opportunity to free a handful of different prisoners including one VIP. However, I see a problem with the concept. Compared to BG3, I think the turn timer concept could get relatively boring in D&D. I already thought of some surprises and dynamic changes (maybe hide a traitor among the prisoners or include a mechanic which buys the whole group three more turns if they find it), but I'd be glad about some smart input from you guys!

2024.06.01 13:10 Okm80m9 Selfish Australian Opinion: the Super Rugby format is dead, after the 2025 Broadcast deal ends, Australia should just make a national league like England or France

Before you say ridiculous, here's some Australia specific Rugby problems:
Where am I going with this?
In Short, A 10-12 team domestic competition modelled on English & french domestic comps. 2 Pacific Island Teams, Brumbies, 3 NSW teams, 3 QLD teams, Western Force and Melbourne Rebels. There would be growing pains, the initial quality would not be the same as Super Rugby and it would take time to build fan bases, BUT:
You address all 3 of these points. The new teams would be able to capitalise on localised fanbase rather than a fairly nebulous state team, teams could play at mid sized local stadiums and create an atmosphere like the Tahs experienced at Leichhardt oval in 2021(I have never seen such a raucous turnout for Rugby Union as those games in Balmain). You would have twice as many professional contracts available to incentivise young talent to give pro Rugby a crack. The new clubs would have much more self determination and freedom to operate as a business. tick, tick, tick.
Problems:
Initial broadcast revenue would not be equivalent to the Super Rugby revenue. Contracts will not be as lucrative as the current ones available. Inevitably plenty of star talent will be lost to overseas franchises in the startup phase. Andrew Forrest(owner of the Western Force) was ready to create 'Global Rapid Rugby' and bankroll a breakaway comp back in 2018-19, only concluded by the Force being allowed back in to SR during covid in 2020.
I don't think NZ would be keen on this model in their domestic comp bc with a population of 5 Million it's a real push to support more professional teams than they already do. Their depth of talent is obviously insane but can that many fans support a professional league? Maybe with the obsessive rugby culture they have it could.
The BONUS
Ever heard of the European Champions Cup? Welcome to the Pacific Champions Cup. This is where the broadcast cash gets interesting: the top 2 teams from the Australian, New Zealand and Japanese Domestic Rugby competitions duke it out exactly the way that the European rugby sides do. This idea really gets my tail up and adds an international club element that the other codes in Australia really lack.
As imposing as creating a new comp from scratch is, Super Rugby is dying a slow, public death. I'm interested to hear everyone else's solutions to the demise of Super Rugby pacific.

2024.06.01 13:09 big_b_44 My drunken thesis from last night- read and rip holes in it.

My drunken thesis from last night- read and rip holes in it.
Good Morning Y’all! Yesterday was my birthday, and as I celebrated by sneaking a flask of Blanton’s into the new Mad Max movie, then finishing the bottle when I got home….. I had a drunken epiphany I found this morning written on toilet paper from last night. If these two items have been beat to the bush, then just ignore me, but I wanted to share.
  1. The mystery call buyer: I don’t believe the trust me bro about UBS and Icahn only think of one person who would want to get out of his short position’s and go long with RCEO, and make a statement with it (insert 1st picture from above- fuck you reddit on my phone but my hung over ass can’t figure this shit out).
Icahn bought towards the top at like $120 post split, so $20+$5 premium would be profit galore. My theory is that he is going to get enough shares through this to be an insider next to RCEO and put his ass on the board too.
On to my next toilet paper theory: 2. My sober self has been struggling with wtf RK say to come out of hiding. My drunk self goes fuck it, I am ready to fight, but I want to make sure I win the fight. Here was the theory I came up with on that (insert second picture of sitting up in the chair)
The notorious first tweet after 3 years of hiatus and risking body and mind, but why?
My theory is he saw GME strongly reject the 200 day moving average (see the last picture) and knew it was time. He was waiting the last years, making memes and that was Cat Signal.
Please feel free to tell me I am regarded and shoot holes through my toilet paper thoughts, but this morning when I was going for my whiskey diarrhea and saw that surprise I left myself, I said I had to share it with y’all.

2024.06.01 13:08 Lord_Roh PVE vs PVP settings for singleplayer ?

Should I have PVE settings ticked off for things like XP farming (baby killing with mounts), or should I have PVE on for things like no Cryo-sickness? is there any way to get the best of both worlds without mods?
Also, what other differences between the two modes should I keep in mind?
Also, do I corrupt anything if I change back and forth between PVE and PVP frequently on the same world save?

2024.06.01 13:07 madrasi2021 AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) Resources

Every single day there is a question from someone here saying "where do I start for AWS Solutions Architect Associate" when there are a few hundred articles from those who passed already.
So here is a master list of resources to help those who have this question.
If you find this post useful - upvote. I am happy to take feedback / suggestions / changes etc - please comment!

tl;dr

  1. Get 1 video course and watch it end to end - the subreddit favourites are below / scroll down further for links
  2. I cannot afford any courses / need a free option - get Andrew Brown's YouTube course
  3. I want to just learn bare minimum to pass exam - Stephane Maarek on Udemy
  4. I really want to learn this AWS and cloud stuff well and be good at it - Adrian Cantrill
  5. Read whitepapers / review new announcements from re:Invent 2023
  6. Do one decent set of practice exams from one provider- subreddit favourites below / scroll down further for links
  7. Tutorialsdojo (personal favourite - I passed ALL my exams using "TD")
  8. Udemy (Stephane Maarek)
Take and Pass exam!

Subreddit Search

Following my own usual guidance, you can always use the subreddit search feature and read articles from everyone in the last month who posted about this exam / passed it. There is a wealth of detail / experience here to learn from :
Link : https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/search/?q=saa+solutions+architect+associate+pass&type=link&t=month

Exam Details

If you have absolutely no clue about the exam - start here.
The exam code is SAA-C03
AWS page with all the details : https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/
Always read the Exam Guide (tells you whats in / out of scope) : https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Exam-Guide.pdf

Minimum Viable Path to Certification

Most people usually need 3 things to pass the exam
  1. A single video based course introducing AWS and all the key exam topics
Typically these are courses where someone reads from some slides, shows you the AWS console and how to use it and then gives you tips on what to remember - there are free and paid versions of these.
  1. Additional material on key topics.
For SAA-C03 - there are some recommended whitepapers on WAF and also since 6 months have passed since the last re:Invent 2023 - any of the major announcements from then now are in scope for the exam. You wont see too many new things but there is a chance there are some random questions that were not covered in any practice exam / course.
  1. One good quality practice exam
Note : do not fall for some random "dump" found on internet or a file your mate gave you to study.
Also note - you do NOT need more than 1 of each category. You can buy more than one practice exam for sure but doing one is enough IMHO.

1. Video Courses

Free Video based Courses

Free from AWS's own training service (Skillbuilder) :
There is an "Exam Prep" course from Skillbuilder but note that this just covers the high level domains but is not a comprehensive deep dive.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14760/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03
Optional : There is a slightly extended version of this in the paid tier with additional exam-style questions, flashcards and more importantly FREE hands on labs and the official practice exam.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/14776/exam-prep-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-with-practice-material
There is a 7 day (extended to 10 days sometimes) free trial for the paid tier which can help you cram this. You can subscribe, immediately cancel but still enjoy 7 days free.
Please note that this course is not enough on its own to pass and you may want to try additional material below.
YouTube based video course
This course below is a better alternative to the SkillBuilder course above but is about 50 hours.
Andrew Brown is an AWS community hero who runs his own training site called exampro.co but offers most of the material for free on FreeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.
The 2024 refresh of the SAA course is here : https://youtu.be/c3Cn4xYfxJY
Andrew also has additional (free / paid) content on his site to check out.

PAID Video based courses

Adrian Cantrill's courses :
Adrian Cantrill is an independent content creator and has his own site from where you can obtain courses.
His courses go above and beyond what the exam needs and this is exactly why the community loves these courses as you get more practical knowledge than just cramming for the exam. The additional coverage means these courses are longer and not as cheap as other courses that cover just the exam material but in the general opinion of everyone who has taken the course it is absolutely worth it.
Link : https://learn.cantrill.io/
Udemy Courses :
Udemy is a marketplace for courses created by independent authors.
Two of the well known authors are mentioned below but please note that Udemy's pricing model can be a bit weird. One day it may show 150 USD for a course and another day 15 USD. This price it high and discount it heavily model catches out most people - so NEVER pay more than USD 20 for anything on Udemy.
Just wait for a day or so and prices may change. Opening Udemy in another incognito browser etc usually yields a different price or follow the authors on social media for codes that shrink the cost.
Stephane Maarek :
Go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/ for links to his Solutions Architect Associate with the best available coupon.
Neil Davis :
https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Either one of these Udemy courses is sufficient. You still need to combine it with practice exams but you do not need more than 1 video course.
Other sites :
Exampro.co
As mentioned above Andrew Brown has his own site with additional material over his YouTube course.
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.

2. Additional Material

I will update this section soon with some additional guidance soon as I am not happy yet (please let me know in comments if there are key additional coverage I should include) - I am scouring recent exam pass posts to see whats current and also want to add links to re:Invent 2023 announcements. I also am thinking of adding in links to "cheat sheets" / docs - let me know if this would be useful.
WAF - Well Architected Framework
https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
You need to know at some decent depth on what the pillars are and what they do.
Read the whitpapers from https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/
Specifically I found the Reliability and Cost Optimization white papers very useful.

3. Practice Exams

Please do NOT fall for "dumps" - if anyone offers you the EXACT list of AWS questions or guarantees the question bank matches the exam - these are dumps. The links below are either official or well regarded sources.
Free :
AWS skillbuilder has one free official exam with just 20 free questions.
To be honest its not really worth it - you can search for "Official practic exam skillbuilder SAA-C03" using your favourite search engine to find it.
exampro.co
Has 1 free practice exam you can sign up to.
Paid :
Official Practice exam
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/external/view/elearning/13593/exam-prep-official-practice-exam-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-english - there is a free 7 day trial available for you to use as this exam may not be worth a month's subscription fee
Tutorialsdojo.com
Highly recommended independent resource for practice exam questions with a very useful "review mode" and every question comes with detailed explanations on answers
Udemy
Stephane Maarek : again go via his site : https://courses.datacumulus.com/
Neal Davis : https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-hands-on/
Other popular sites :
Exampro.co
Andrew Brown has I believe 3 practice exams as well on his site. One is free - the other two you pay for.
Whizlabs
I havent used them personally but https://www.whizlabs.com/aws-solutions-architect-associate/
Cloud Academy
https://cloudacademy.com/learning-paths/aws-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03-certification-preparation-for-aws-1-7446/ has both a learning plan and a practice exam at the end.

Not Recommended sites :

Sites that are sadly NOT recommended anymore - Avoid A Cloud Guru / Pluralsight as their courses are not considered the best anymore. They used to be leaders but somehow have fallen behind and their subscription model doesnt work in a world with cheap one time purchase courses.
If you want a sandbox to experiment - then ACG offers one but so do Whizlabs and Tutorialsdojo.

Optional / Complementary material

I have an article where you can find complementary / alternatives to the Solutions Architect Exam - most are free and includes the "AWS Knowledge : Architecting Free Digital Badge"
https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/comments/1d1o522/no_payment_options_to_learn_aws_with_digital/
This material isnt exam focused but if you want some free alternatives / cannot afford to pay for the exam - then check out the link.

FAQ

  1. Do I need ALL this material A. No. Just one of each is fine. Example : get the free YouTube course + tutorialsdojo and you can pass
  2. Do I really need to do hands on work A. Yes - it is recommended that you get some hands on work at the Associate level.
  3. Where can I find vouchers for the exam A. check this thread : https://www.reddit.com/AWSCertifications/comments/18woit6/2024_aws_vouchers_exam_discounts_othe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
  4. Can I cheat my way using Dumps that I found online / my mate gave me / found on GitHub / YouTube? A. You can but there is a high chance you fail and/or get caught / banned - the risk isnt worth it. Stick with genuine resources.
  5. Can I pass with just free resources as I cannot afford the resources A. Its possible but please it is recommended to atleast spend on decent practice exams. If you cannot afford the exam / resources - just get the free digital badges (Architecting)
  6. I skipped CCP / CLF - is that okay A. Yes - its okay to have skipped the foundational level - almost all the courses above teach you from scratch.
  7. Can someone who is new to IT do this exam A. Yes - Many people start from scratch and get to the Associate level.
  8. Is it worth it? A. Plenty of threads on this subreddit covering this. You have to make up your own mind if its worth it to you or not.
  9. I dont code or want to - is this course for me? A. While there is no coding involved in the course - knowing how to use the AWS CLI / being able to do some basic scripting would be very helpful anyway. You can also use free tools like CoPilot / Code Whisperer to help you with pieces you struggle with.
  10. Can I use ChatGPT / Amazon Q etc to learn A. Many of these Generative AI tools can still give you incorrect answers. So do not rely on them but if it helps you to quickly get the concept - go ahead and double check the results against official docs.
  11. Are there books to learn from A. Books get out of date too quickly and I do not recommend learning from them. However there is an official Sybex Guide to the exam and tutorialsdojo / Neal Davis (Digital Cloud) also have an ebook. You can google for links to these.
Good Luck folks!

So I'm autistic which means I practice conversations I am going to have with people, conversations I had, and conversations I might have all the time. It means when the moment arises, I'm prepared. This is all pretty standard 'tism.
What I had never considered practicing during those hypothetical conversations was walking away.
I've always been pretty conflict avoidance, being afraid of being trapped in a situation with an angry person is enough to avoid the issue. Which creates its own problems. But I realized that the feeling trapped part comes from having only ever practiced continuing to talk to the person who is treating me poorly- trying to deescalate them; trying to get them to see my side of the story; being filled with righteous anger and having the best comebacks.
For years people would tell me things like "so and so doesn't deserve your energy" and I'd agree but have no idea how to actually stop engaging with them. Then one day it struck me to practice excusing myself from the conversation in all of my hypothetical conversations I practice. I am now significantly less afraid of conflict because I actually believe I am free to leave at any time. I don't believe I am trapped in the situation.
For those of us who need thing to be concrete, here's an example: "Can we talk about you yelling at me in front of a client? I didn't appreciate it and I need to know it will be different in the future" "I didn't yell, YOU were the one who caused the problems because YOU messed up the situation.... Blah blah blah keeps going until my mind is pudding...
"I came here to talk about the way I was treated. I am looking for validation, an apology, and a confirmation of how behavior will be different in the future. Based on your response, I don't feel like you are able to give me any of these things right now, so I am going to remove myself from this conversation. I am open to continuing this conversation at a time when you do feel you can give me these things"
And then I just get up and walk away. Like poof! Magic! I got my information about not only how someone is going be to treat me but also how they will meet my needs with defensiveness, I am going to deprioritze this relationship because they can't treat me right AND I am no longer afraid to ask for what I need because if the person responds to my needs with anything besides accountability for their own actions, I get to excuse myself and go about my life with people who do take accountability for themselves.
I don't see myself getting stuck in so many toxic situations anymore because I know how to walk away. It's so simple, but makes such a big difference

2024.06.01 13:06 Kismet110 2K@240Hz works but 4K@120Hz option not showing via DP - Samsung 57" monitor

As per the title, hoping someone can assist. I used to connect via HDMI and could get both 4K@120Hz and 2K@240Hx however I couldn't G-Sync Compatible / FreeSync option in NVCP so switched to Display Port.
That allowed FreeSync to kick in but now I don't get the 4K@120Hz option any more in NVCP, only 60Hz is showing at that resolution.
I've tried three different cables, all the same including one cable explicitly labelled as supporting that combination.
I then purchased a new cable advertised as DP 2.1 and capable of resolution / refresh rates exceeding what I'm aiming for but still it only shows 60Hz as the maximum refresh rate for 4K rather than the previously available (via HDMI) 120Hz.
I would stick to HDMI but want to take advantage of FreeSync which only works using DP; any of you good people had a similar problem or know a possible solution? Or tell me if I'm missing something here?

2024.06.01 13:03 Individual_Key8503 Voron 2.4 suddenly stopped working?

I have a Voron printer that is new this year and has over two months of incident-free printing. It was working perfectly fine yesterday and I was able to print without issues,.
However, this morning it simply stopped working for no apparent reason. Whenever I try to start the printeKlipper up I just get a loading screen and can't communicate with printer.
I have honestly no idea where to start with this issue. I have replaced the SD card and the interface seems to be working properly so is something like this caused by any common issues? Any ideas of where to start troubleshooting? I have an idea that the BTT Pie may have stopped working but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Is starting from the bottom and slowly making my way up worth it?
Hi, I’m (18) not 100% sure on what degree I should get and right now Electronic/Electrical engineering looks intriguing.
However, my skills for engineering rn? Not good. Never cared much for science (don’t hate it though) but I started to like math and am currently self-studying college algebra on the track to trig, pre-calc then calculus.
One path I’ve thought of doing is going into my college’s “upgrading program” (learning grade 12 equivalents of whatever you want for free) for 1 or 2 years to learn more math (and maybe some other subjects with it) and get in the calculus levels, then take a reduced course-load of 3 or 4 out of the 6 required engineering courses each semester and completing my bachelor in 6-8 years which I’m totally ok with being in school for that long (I’m living rent free btw so cost isn’t a concern) Any input helps, thank you.

2024.06.01 13:03 charlesphere Am I crazy?

First time posting, long time reader. Wasn’t sure how to go about this but here goes..
My wife (33F) is finishing up her 3rd year in DO school. We’ve been together 12 years, married going on 6. We don’t have kids. I (39M) have been along for the journey since undergrad. What a rollercoaster.. Getting into med school was huge. It was a school out of state. We’re from the west coast, school is in southwest; close enough to family to visit, far enough to miss them. I work full time and fortunately was able to transfer. We have a home in CA and again, fortunately, I make a decent amount where we were able to buy a home close enough to her school and an hour away from my work. Currently, we rent out the west coast property. Having properties has always been a goal of mine, so buying a second home wasn’t something I would be upset about, especially in a growing city.
Since I work, I carry most, if not all, of the financial side of things. I say most because I don’t want to discredit when she buys things at the market and I don’t hand her money to pay for it. For me, my money is our money. Her loan is my loan. We do it together. I’m on board.
The demands of med school are intense, as we all know. I’m on board with all the sacrifices we make as spouses. I cook, I clean, I pack her lunches, wake her up if/when she’s running late, prepare her coffee and send her off with “I got you, babe.” That’s who I am. I do all those things not for an IOU payment. I do it because I love my wife and I know I want to support my partner. I feel like she has possibly gotten so used to it that she forgets to support the one who supports her most. Her family situation is another post for another subreddit that gets very.. difficult. Therapy has been an avenue we’ve taken as a couple and as individuals. It’s helped.
Here is where I feel like I’m finding the edge..
Moving away from home has its challenges. I would surf every week - Can’t surf in the desert. I’m close with my family - Can only see them every so often now. In our marriage, affection has gone from healthy to occasionally. Sex life, same. Understanding the mental demand, stresses and planning for residency applications, wanting to plan for a baby, her family stress, all of those are factors. I’ve been patient and understanding. I do my best.
I enjoy camping. It keeps me sane. During that “limbo” I plan trips for myself or with other family members, which means I drive to another state and have a decent trip for 4-5 days. THIS is my hobby. THIS makes me happy. This happens twice to three times a year. I love my truck. I invest in my truck. I purchased and worked on everything that has been done to my truck. I’m proud of it. THIS makes me happy.
Again, I carry the financial side of things. I also save money for future plans (babies, another move, another house, emergencies etc). Am I wrong for spending money on my truck? Because I’m continually getting guilt tripped for it by my wife. Sounds silly, but when I voice that frustration with my wife, the answer I get is “When are you done?” And my response is “It’s something I continue to enjoy and can afford. What if it’s never done?”
Is it fair to be guilt tripped this way? I mean, I do my part. And then some. I feel like sacrificing and carry the load I do and voicing when it’s tough falls on deaf ears. And all I ask is to be supported while I support her. I’m not drinking and hitting strip clubs, I’m camping. Im working on my truck. It’s my hobby and it makes me happy. A “I’m happy you enjoy your truck and it’s given you a lot of joy.” would send me to the moon. For me, that’s an “I got you, babe.”
Idk, I feel like a tool. Only do what supports her journey but don’t find things that make me happy throughout it, because her journey is the one that is most important…? I don’t know how else to live a life for myself without being guilt tripped, while supporting her 90% of the time.
Am I crazy?! Is there a different perspective I could adopt? I feel like I’m losing my mind and losing who I am. I’m not a tool, I’m a person.
TL;DR Med school is demanding, I love camping and working on truck, wife doesn’t agree with how I spend my free time and money.

2024.06.01 13:02 varsacre My cat isn't gaining any weight

Hi! English isn't my first language so sorry for any mistakes.
So I rescued two cats from the street, most likely sisters, back in August last year. They were like, 2 months old maybe? At least that's what the vet said. One of them, Chiara (on the photos) was sick with this eyes and nose thingy, don't remember what it's called in english. After couple visits everything was good.
I fed them dry kitten kibble, because well I am not rich by any means and sometimes I literally starve for couple of days to buy them better quality food. But the reality is - shelters are packed and they straight up refuse to take cats in my area, so I figured it's better to take them rather than letting them die out there. And it's good (I hope?) quality kibble - Wiejska Zagroda and later Carnilove. So not the best of the best, I know, but they're really not bad either. In February I even started mixed feeding (half wet, half dry) in fear of kidney problems later in life. Quality varies, but it's always something sugar-free and grain-free.
Chiara is active, even more than I would like lol - jumping on everything in the house, literally everything high enough to be worth it. She sprints like cats version of Lightning McQueen and playfully wrestle other cats like her life depends on it. On walks even any flying bugs aren't safe as she'll just jump like a frickin kangaroo to get them.
Anyway the second cat grew bigger over these months, she is 3,150 kg. While Chiara is only 2,250 kg December 17 - 2,150 kg January 13 - 2150 kg March 26 - 2,200 kg April 28 - 2,300 kg And today - 2,250 kg
My vet while being okayish, just dissmises me and doesn't check anything. Just tells me "We will see, come when something is wrong". As if it's not better to prevent something rather than wait for it to be completely broken and it's driving me crazyyy. But he is the only vet in my area and right now I don't really have the money to travel to someone else. Well, I don't even have a car so there's that.
Is it okay for her to be so small and I'm just paranoid or should I find a way to go to someone else? I have never had a cat so small as her but she behaves like any other cat and eat as much as her sister.

2024.06.01 13:02 GodofSuddenStorms Mythology Build 6: Loki

As requested by my Cousin its time for a Trickster God of (most likely) Fire.

Explaining How He’s A Fire God, Skip If You Dont Care

Loki’s parents are a giant named Farbauti which means “Dangerous Striker” which could be referring to Lightning, his mother Laufey has a name that means “leafy”, what happens when lightning strikes a tree covered with leaves? Fire
Loki is skilled in Shapeshifting which could refer to a Fire having no shape
Loki once cut of the hair of Sif the Goddess of Grain only for her husband Thor the Storm God have some dwarves who Live Under Ground make her new hair, this Could be referring to a Fire burning down a field of Grain, only for a Storm to come and make rain and wind assist the Ground in regrowing
Loki Literally has demonstrated the power to control heat and fire more than Thor has been shown as a Storm God. Heat Based Illusions are said to be Loki “Milking his Goats”, when he was running from the other Aesir he invented the Fishing Net then LIT IT ON FIRE to dispose of it
In terms of archeology, blacksmiths would have a stone that helps with controlling heat, and what do you know we found one that has Loki’s face on it

explanation over

Wood Half Elf as a reference to his mom with the Charlatan background
Put all stats at 10, have the +2 go to Dexterity and the +1 go to Wisdom, put something into Wisdom but have most of it in Dexterity
Put skill into Survival to represent the nights he survived on the run from the other gods
Body 2
Voice 5
Face 5
Skin: Blush Tone 5
Scar 8 to represent Loki’s injury of having scarred lips from the time his fucking mouth was sewn shut
Eyes: Elf Autum
Hair: Sorcha Curls looks like the hair that the oldest Loki depiction found has
Beard: Charlatan’s Goatee is accurate to all ancient Loki depictions we’ve found
Hair Color: Ginger 5
Lv4 Circle of the Moon Druid for animal shapeshifting, Lv8 Thief Rogue for obvious reasons
Required Spells: Minor Illusion, Goodberry (as a reference to the Mistletoe Loki used to kill Baldur), Produce Flame, Flame Blade, Heat Metal,
In Act 1: help out the Myconid Coloney through both quest for the Voice of the Cirlce amulet,
In Act 2: get into a fight with the Strange Ox and loot the Shapeshifter’s Boon ring from the body, then go to Moonrise to get the Ring of Free Action from Araj Oblodra,
In Act 3: Kill the Githyanki in the Emperor’s Hideout for the Boots of Psionic Movement (Loki has Flying Shoes), go to Dammon’s shop to get the Unwanted Masterwork Scalemail, then go to the Devil’s Fee store and buy the Shapeshifter Hat, then go to the Grand Mausoleum at -257,-886 for the Vivacious Cloak, Kill Raphael for the Helldusk Gloves
Any Suggestions for Mythology Builds 7?

Longtime recording engineer, Michael Prince, who was working with Jackson at the time “Hold My Hand” leaked, recalls:
“He was truly upset when the song he did with Akon leaked. He would just get this sad look on his face like, how could this happen? Because 20 years ago this would not have happened. And somehow everybody in the world has a copy of it. And that really upset him because he liked that song a lot.”
Akon gave a detailed account of the events surrounding the leak during an appearance on Tavis Smiley’s PBS television show in January 2009:
“Me and Mike did this incredible record called Hold My Hand and the record is amazing. Phenomenal. And the concept was that this would be Mike’s first release off of his new album, and then I would stripe it on my album – on my following release. That way we could have the outlets open for everyone to be able to receive the record. You know, Mike came up with this brilliant marketing launch for the record. You know, he’s the best at launching a record.”
Akon continues:
“He’d have the whole world paying attention in two minutes… And before we could get to that point, the record got leaked over the internet. And we got over 15 million downloads on the song for free. So we couldn’t [release it]. You can’t at that point. Everybody already has the record. But in a way, you gotta look at it like… that’s just a gift to the fans.”
