Hi! I retired last year at 32 with my wife. We have about 770.000$ on our bank account which is actually a gain of 36K since we retired. We have no mortgage and no loan on our car. What we hadnt planned was getting a child though. Both me and my wife are very low spenders and we will live in a country with free healthcare and school. Do you think we can still stay retired with a child or should we go back to the workforce?

Hi everyone, my account was just hacked today..
been playing since 2016….
The hacker unbound everything even though I have 2FA activated and received no email notifications. Why is Mobile Legends getting easier to hack?
By the way, I don't remember when I first created the account, but I have plenty of proof of my transactions. However, when I tried to submit the account retrieval form to customer service, it failed.

if anyone knows where i could get help and tells me i would appreciate it. But i’m not sure where else to post this but i recently got a visa gift card for my birthday and decided to buy an xbox gift card on amazon. However as soon as i bought it, my account was suspended and it said something about suspicious activity. It wants me to attach documents or something now. i just took a picture of the card but it didn’t work and wanted me to attach more. my account is still on hold. Did i just lose all the money? can i get a refund?

With updates like Archaeology and various others, the RuneScape (Gielinor) map is getting more and more crowded (zoom all the way out of your minimap), with everything gradually merging into one massive city, and the current cities, towns, and villages morphing into suburbs. Consequently, there's a loss of the sense of distance and vastness. With more future updates, it's likely that more space will be used, making the world denser and denser. It'd be helpful to:

• To steer clear of RuneScape becoming overwhelmed by doors and portals, it's crucial to diversify how new content is introduced. This involves exploring alternative access methods that don't heavily rely on additional doorways or teleportation mechanisms. By doing so, we preserve the immersive nature of exploration and travel across the game world, ensuring a more balanced and engaging player experience.
• Utilize non-instanced islands, dedicating each island to specific content. For example, an island like "Island Death" could exclusively host the war retreat, while each island could have its own weather and excavation site for Archaeology.
• We can maintain the existing teleportation methods, such as lodestones, teleportation spells, and other transportation methods. The focus would primarily be on expanding and enriching the remaining areas of the map, providing players with additional exploration and gameplay options without replacing existing conveniences. This approach ensures a balanced and seamless integration of new content while preserving the accessibility and familiarity of the current transportation systems in RuneScape.

To maintain a balanced and spacious RuneScape map, it's essential to ensure a better ratio of updates, preventing the world from feeling overly crowded. This includes careful consideration of how new content is integrated to avoid a cluttered appearance and maintain the sense of expansiveness within the game world.
BONUS IDEA:
While there are memes and jokes about the "Sailing" skill, what if it were actually possible to implement? Building on the island concept mentioned earlier:

• Island Travel: Players can travel between islands (not instanced), enhancing the sense of vastness in RuneScape and providing endless possibilities for future updates. Can move existing content onto its own island, thus freeing up space on the map.
• Construction Skills: Players can utilize their construction skills to construct and maintain/repair their ships, earning construction XP in the process.
• Sailing Level Benefits: Higher sailing levels result in faster travel times and fewer repairs needed for the ship.
• Construction Level Benefits: Higher construction levels enable faster repairs and the use of better ship materials, reducing repair requirements.
• Uncharted Islands: Between islands, there could be random, uncharted, and unclaimable islands with random loot (good or bad), giving players the option to explore or bypass them.
• Ports Resources: Higher sailing levels yield more Ports resources from each ship sent out, with faster ship returns per voyage.
• Player-Owned Ports: Players can use their own Player-Owned Ports as a home and repair base, enhancing the personalization and functionality of their gameplay.
• Clan-Owned Island: Rather than a Clan Citadel, the concept could be moved to an island, providing a unique and thematic setting for clan activities.
• Player-Owned House: Player-Owned Houses could be moved to the Player-Owned Island, offering ocean views and opportunities to expand construction skills by building on the land surrounding the house, such as sheds, pools, gazebos, etc., instead of the traditional square plot of land in the void.

Enjoy your free stuff and lmk if you pulled something good! Should any of the codes not work anymore tell me so I can update the list
Have some helpful info as well since we're already at it. It always pays off to try and unlock as much of a campaign as possible. The higher level of upgrade farming node unlocked means less energy used meaning faster roster progression.
The following are some of the strongest choices for each campaign:
CAMPAIGN MVP's
Indomitus - Bellator, Isabella, Calgar
Indo mirror - Aleph-null, Anuphet
Octarius - Gibba, Snot
Oct mirror - Burchard, Godswyl
FoC - Angrax, Rotbone, Abraxas
FoC mirror - Thaddeus, Kut, Yarrick
Saim-hann - Calandis, Eldryon, Maugan Ra
Saim-hann mirror - Abraxas, Archimatos
I recommend focusing on Bellator aiming to get him to gold gear rank.
Many new players make the mistake of trying to upgrade lots of different chars at once. In this game it pays to focus on one at a time.
The reason Bellator is the best char to upgrade at the start is because his active will not only carry you through 3 different campaigns(Indom, FoCM, OctM) but also its very useful in every other content in the game.
A good Indom elite team would be: G1 Bellator (active 36+) S2 Certus S2 Varro
I recommend the last two members should be imperials from another campaign, will give you a headstart when it comes to doing there's. Since elite might still be a bit out of reach tho its not a priority yet. Feel free to ask me if you need anything else!

Since the event ends in like an hour I just wanted to give my thoughts on it since I feel like people will call this event like 1-4/10 when I think this event was great, just progression wise if you got every mutation it was basically like having a 2x starr drops event and this especially helped newer players, and I feel like most people a ton of cosmetics from this season such as one of the brock skins or a free legendary skin if you were in an active clan, even if you weren't you still probably got a couple of gems.
Now the game mode wasn't the greatest but that was more so due to balancing and when you realize they were working on 2.5 new brawlers if you include godzilla and mecha godzilla, 40 mutations, 6 hypercharges, 2 ranked modifiers, op top of their regular balance patches it makes sense that the balance for this season was off.
I just don't want us as a community to consider this event like 1/10 as if nothing could be worse when I wouldn't call this event perfect but I'd like to consider it for their first time trying something like this closer to 6(maybe even 7 if you consider a f2p player could get a legendary skin and some gems for free)/10, now obviously if you disagree I can understand but I wanted to defend.

[Recruiting] [Code: 6MWMAWFD]
Howdy! I hope you'll use my recruitment code so we can both get rewards for playing. The instructions for entering the code are here: https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=70973 but basically just:
1) Log into your Mogstation Account https://www.mogstation.com/
2) Scroll down until you see "Registration Codes"
3) Enter in 6MWMAWFD
Note: Make sure you do this after buying the game but before subscribing for the first time.
Once you're recruited, you'll immediately get some in-game rewards when you log in, including:
1) Friendship Circlet: Headgear that increases EXP earned by 20% when level 25 and below. I personally used this on my account and it was very helpful!
2) 99 Aetheryte Tickets for free teleporting. Teleporting seems cheap but the costs add up quickly so these are great!
3) Fist Bump gesture
4) 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers which you can use to buy some good gear at levels 50, 60, 70, and 80. A nice little shortcut so you don't have to farm as much
Thanks for using my code!

So luckily, I've only played the free trial for a bit, so I'm prepared to start over if needed but

1. I downloaded the free trial on my USA Steam Account
   
2. I currently live in Japan and set my Square Enix account to Japan (I understand it to now be locked into that from looking through threads)
   
3. Am really enjoying the game but now unsure as to how I can safely pay for the full version etc later without there being some sort of problem with the regions
   

^ would really appreciate any advice or solutions from anyone who ever was in the same situation!

Today! Today issued forth these existential moments, when the absence of human activity is the defining feature of the landscape – not because there is a disaster or a change of heart about the human project but because, well, I don’t know, so I grab my backpack, which stands for aspects of the soul that only sprout in alternate realities – and charge into the day to find out. By noon, the heat is like a flickering color in the mind – unseasonably early for this sort of highlight, and then I remember the cicadas are appearing, which might explain the sudden interest by the rest of the universe. Not halfway down the block, I’m startled by the first cicada of the season – near the top of the tallest tree by the building that houses the renowned music program. The cicada makes music all by itself, and it is like a siren made of clicks, a drumstick pulled across bones.
This is just the beginning of the historical emergence, and the location where I live is one of the nationally recognized hot spots. The people, I don’t believe, have evacuated, but they certainly aren’t rubbing their hands over the trembling earth, waiting for bulging eyes and knobby legs to drag a dirt-stained cicada out of the ground, then off to a place to molt. The molting process is brimming with the sort of metaphor we associate with heaven – something below ground for its whole remembered life, save for a brief time after it hatches, falls out of a tree and into the grass, crawls down into the soil to find a tasty dandelion root to suck on. That original body, on the brightest day of the year, goes searching for a hard vertical surface to cling to, like the side of the tree it was feeding on, then escapes out of its body through the hind end of its own skull.
The heat seems to have its own sense of choice in evidence. While I’m standing there, listening for more clicks, the heat generates a crackling sensation across my shoulders, like patches of my skin are sparkling below my shirt. The clouds – more of those cumulonimbus dreams-come-true – are simultaneously isles and aisles – two bulging eyes – both work, so whichever, either one a somewhat brawny pronunciation, like the words have to walk with a slight bow about the legs, because of the pronounced thigh muscles. Just as I turn to walk away from the lone cicada at the top of the school of music’s tallest tree, the clicking begins again. I stop and turn back to the tree – it stops. I turn to walk, and the clicking sounds again. Maybe the cicada brood will be so large, the movie we call reality has given them final cut, at least for the next few months, so I carry on.
That cicada was a female – they make that clicking sound by rubbing their wings together, and I picture the males all hearing the clicking as a variation of – could some big strong male crawl on over and open this jar for me? The male call is the more familiar whooping siren, which is made with a spasmodic diaphragm on their abdomens – Jerry Lee Lewis at his most raucous – though I believe he did play piano with his feet, so there are dissimilarities, too. The big winners will be the birds and fish, which are looking forward to extra animal protein wherever they look for the next couple of months, second nesting seasons all but in the bag. At the height of his fame, Jerry Lee famously wedded his 13-year-old cousin. Myra Williams was her name, and she said later, after the divorce, she was always the adult in the relationship. They stayed married for 13 years.
Scientists speculate that cicada broods follow such irregular cycles – 7 years, 13 years, 17 years – because they are prime numbers and therefore difficult for predators to sync to over time in the performance of their own boom and bust cycles. I like this theory, though I wonder why the rest of the animal kingdom hasn’t likewise worked the numbers – like cicadas launched themselves into a probabilistic deep-space orbit inside the mind of nature, and never looked back. I picture Neil Armstrong on the ladder of the lunar module, freezing in place, mission command busy on the radio but no reply from Neil until, all wet and new, he bursts forth through the back of his space helmet, as naked as the day he was born, gets busy inflating his wing casings, as mission control cheers, and the scientists all light cigarettes to relieve the stress, maybe hand out cigars.
The heat is a measure of energy in the system – to the extent it also accounts for human absence, we stay huddled inside on hot days like today due to chronic overabundance – nature is giving us too much – which is also true for many allergies and fevers – but with the overabundance of energy, you can find relief through the judicious application of even more energy, which option I used to always forego on general principle – I want to feel the reality of days overabundant as surely as days where the molecules are all optimally excited. These days, I’m in charge of a mid-sized HVAC operation, and thus, feel part of my body living inside a factory of probability that stretches around the world. We humans, on days like today, take it as a given that temperature-controlled climates are part of the deal, that molecules should be in optimal states of excitement.
Which, with self-similarity across scale in mind, might suggest nature treat our excitability with similar regard. Oh to live the life of temperate climes, where fairness and passion are concerned! I’m on my way to the library to borrow a book about love and rage, written by a Buddhist, who examines the roll of anger in transformation. I have no truck with my fellow human sufferers – literally no anger at all – but with human systems? Disembodied intelligences? Those aspects of the hyperform that privilege torment and indifference? When it climbs to a high enough part of the tree to be heard, I can indeed hear my anger. What’s that? A false reality precipitates false authority? Yet knowing this, hyperforms readily believe wealth confers merit. The exaggerated accumulation of capital is an existential disease assuaged with the delusion of personal success.
A block from the library, I come upon two boys playing in a pile of sand beside a garden. The one boy seems to be trying to burrow inside it, and the other is battering the sand with the flat side of a child-sized metal shovel. He has the wrong shovel for the job, a fact I choose to keep to myself, especially since the one really is trying to thwack the tall pile just as hard as he can. The sort of thing kids do in a spirit of curiosity – what happens to the world when the force of one’s anger is applied to a giant pile of sand? Perhaps the urge to use force for no reason is the human behavior we end up with when ambient energy gets so overabundant. This is what life seems to be – the planet’s novel approach to dissipating heat. We are much more than that, of course, and fortunately, the kids have plenty of time and energy to prove it. Their parents tell them to stop.
When a cicada molts, the effect is more than just a body crawling out of a body – for instance, in the moments before this happens, the cicada is visibly squirming inside its former self, which is permanently clinging to the side of a tree, and all the while, it is feeling the pronounced effect of gravity for the first time in its life, not to mention terrestrial life in the trees, where the sap flows freely and sunshine dances on those giant globular eyes for the first time. Emerging cicadas first do a backbend, then hang upside down by their hind ends, letting the legs, wings and abdomen inflate and adjust to the atmospheric pressure, which pressure gracefully draws the body back to an upright posture. They stay that way, letting their wings inflate, flatten out, stiffen. Veins in the wings were veins, were flesh, before the flesh became the will to fly, a means of saying hello.
Nearer the library, I catch sight of someone squatting in the subsurface terrace of the Unitarian-Universalist peace church – I spot a bedroll and backpack, a forty-ounce can of something cold to drink on such a sweltering day. The guy is leaning against the brick wall, staring into space, and I picture him being the pile of sand from the block before – the one repeatedly hit over the head with the flat side of a shovel. At the library, they’re resetting the furniture after a musical performance. I don’t really know who it was – I just see my favorite librarian thanking someone with a violin case, the sort of hardened case they used to carry machine guns around in, and for a moment I hear the rat-a-tat-tat that stands for the sound of anger overcoming us – but then it becomes that highest cicada, back at the top of her tree, rubbing her wings, building railroads.
The heat on the walk home – neighborhoods still evacuated – is like a drunken horse I’m forced to ride. I can feel my body swaying from side to side a little more than usual, so I try to imagine some other time – for instance, when our bodies will be able to take the heat on a day like today and do something with it – cranial stimulation or micromachines to repair the body or even just a way for the body to stay cool without installing an HVAC system. A crow stops me cold when I hear it imitating the sound of a cicada – it doesn’t have the tone exactly right, but it’s doing the clicks, and I know this is true of crows – they acquire new elements of language from what they hear, and the crows must be hearing female cicadas calling out to the others. What a witness! I call up to the crow – or maybe it’s just got a cicada in its beak. In instant reply, the crow shrieks.

I’m halfway into the free trial period of roon and I have not had much luck smoothing out the playback to a listenable standard. My output is a USB dac from HRT, model “Music Streamer ii”. I know this isn’t a high quality dac but it has always delivered quite reasonable sound without stuttering while using Tidal or playing files off my HD. Now that I’m playing through Roon, it doesn’t matter whether I’m streaming or playing from HD, I get constant glitches every few seconds. MQA is the worst, but even the FLACs with higher and lower sampling and bits still stutter. When I play through the 3.5mm output the playback is smooth but the sound quality is far below that of the dac, ao it’s not worth it to use this output seeing as I have good quality speakers. I’ve tried resetting SMC and NVRAM. I’ve checked activity monitor and internet speed all is fine. Can anybody advise me on which setting I should focus on adjusting to try to smooth this out? My core is a Mac Mini 2014 and this is also the device that is connected to my dac and stereo. I merely use a tablet to control playback and adjust settings. Hence I can run the Roon Core app instead of having to open the full UI app on the streaming device. Right now if I can’t stop the chop, my options seem to be to run the sound out of the 3.5mm output, to upgrade to an expensive dac (without guarantee that playback will be smoother), or to go back to playing direct from Tidal and losing all the benefits of controlling my system from a tablet. The first two options aren’t attractive at all. Any other ideas or experience with this?

I just found a tote of old clothes I forgot existed. And found my vintage high school Gap boot cut mom jeans. And they fit!!! And they are intact, somehow! Yay. Perfect, free modest jeans. If I went shopping for jeans today, it would be these. I've had them so long they are modestly in fashion. I'm not trendy. I'd like to be. It just doesn't work out that way. I'm overly sensible so that my kids can have more activities and experiences. I feel too guilty spending money like that on myself.

[REQ] ($100) - (#Portsmouth, NH, USA) (Repay $120 04/08/22) (Venmo)(Pre arranged)

Post contents

So, to condense a longer story short, I'm (m22) friends with this girl(f22) that I met while studying abroad last year. We met via mutual friends in our friend group, hung out a bunch, got closer, I catch feelings, typical story. The whole time I hid my feelings from her since I could tell at the time it wasn't mutual. In doing so she accidentally hit with one of those "the worst she could say is no" moments that really fucked with my head and tested our friendship. At some point she knew that I had liked her, and I knew that she knew, so awkwardly we continued our friendship ignoring the elephant in the room. Luckily the friendship survived and I generally moved past it, but I was still unsatisfied with never having got proper closure. A few months after I returned home, I asked to have a call with her to fully sort out my feelings, my heartbreak, and the future as friends. Happily she obliged, and we mutually expressed thoughts, exchanged apologies at our mistakes and overall had a healthy conversation, that I hoped would bring me closure.
Since that call, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, but I didn't fully feel closure. It cleared up any potential awkwardness between us (on my end at least) and gave way to what was next. A few weeks after the call, the two of us started making travel plans to go and see our friend group in the summer, the first time seeing them since we both returned home. Over the past few months since we decided to make those plans, we've been called for hours, texting multiple times a week, just generally being good friends despite time differences and distance. I feel we'd bridged whatever distance was between us, and now we're back on track to stay good friends for a while.
The problem is that I think I have feelings for her again. Either that or subconsciously my feelings never went away and now they're coming back with her actively in my life again. I know that I'm free to talk about feelings-related stuff with her, but I don't want it to change the mood of our trip, or make her feel as if she has to act differently around me. While it takes 2 people to tackle this problem, she's only a human, and it feels unfair for her to carry the burden of my emotional state time and time again. It feels like closure is a myth to me.
So now to my question: how should I proceed? should I bring it up before the trip, or have the heart to heart convo in person? Obviously not everything can be answered now, but any insight or opinions would help me sort my thoughts.
TL;DR: I fell for a girl overseas. It went unrequited and I thought I got over it. we're planning a trip to see each other (and other friends) again, and after planning the trip I think my feelings are returning.
Thank you for reading, I appreciate it
