Can actos get me high

Hi, everyone. It’s been over a decade since I last played tennis, but I really loved playing on a team in high school (I’m 32 now). I can’t remember the racquet I used then—only that it was a Dunlop with an oversized head that the employee at Dick’s Sporting Goods sold me. I don’t think it was the best but it served me well.
I didn’t know a whole lot about racquets then, nor now — but I am hoping to get back into playing recreationally for health and weight loss reasons.
Could y’all share recs or give me an idea of what to consider before I go to a shop?
I’m 32, a woman, 5’1 and relatively fit for my age. Budget is $100 or lower

I’ve been out of the troubled teen industry for 3 years
I am now 17 years old
I went in when I was 12
And now my parents want to send me back to another one.
This makes no sense whatsoever
They have told me multiple times That CALO didn’t do there job or any of the other residentials
But they spent 250,000$ usd on these places
And are willing to spend another 30,000$
I have tried and tried to convince them that none of these places work
And they are all for profit with untrained staff
That abuse or mistreat 100,000 broken and abandoned youth every year
My dad was looking at the GOOGLE reviews for a place and I could clearly see that the reviews were fake and when you went on yelp it was a 2.1 star place with legit reviews
This Industry is terrible
It abused me
It abused the family I was adopted into
And it took my youth away
I thought I would never have to go through this again
But I’m 17 and there’s nothing I can do
I wish we were heard
People don’t get that this industry is all connected if it’s for profit it’s a business and the only way they can continue is if parents are deceived over and over again
And teens and pre teens like me are used to make them rich
I wish my parents knew I am hurting
But this isn’t the way
And I’m hurting because they sent me to 5 different residentials that did the same thing over and over again
They took my voice
They took my freedom
They took my family
Their about to do it again
But I won’t follow their rules
I won’t let them do what they’ve done to me
This is unjust
And 100,000 other teens are
Silenced
Used
Hurt
To help a billion dollar industry
4 days and I’m back in hell

I’ve been here for over a month at Kittrell and the staff ain’t shit. They let me get bullied then believed the female who lied on a whole other female and they rude and disrespectful I’m tired of being out here and I’m resigning can someone tell me how you resign cause I’m dead ass fucking done.

I have moved from my small home town to a city and left my partner and my dog whom I really love. We have been together for 3 years. (I’m 22 he is 27) I’m now living with my brother and his missus in Sydney. They kindly let me live in their spare bedroom. I wanted to leave my home town because I wanted to be closer with family (my family lives here except for my dad) as well as seeing what it is like to live away from my home town, I got kind of sick of living in my home town and just wanted to spread my wings a little. I just had this itch to do so. Just needed a change. Maybe try and find myself a career or a job that’s not cleaning. I felt like it would be good for my self confidence. I was unemployed for the first month but then finally got a job as a Dental Assistant trainee. I’ve only been working since middle of March. It is a 45 min drive to and from work and I’m only getting paid $23/hr 3-4 days a week. It’s actually such a shit job tbh with you. I’m really struggling with it all financially, I just got my car serviced and there’s like 10 things wrong with it and if I get it fixed I will be paying more than what it’s worth. On top of that I feel so stressed more than ever living here in sydney. The more I live here the more I hate it. I’m depressed as well. I don’t know what I want to do as a career, I am lost. I have no direction in life or passion for anything. People my age have already completed their uni degree and are making 6 figures. Thinking about moving back in with my boyfriend in my home town but don’t know what that will bring me for my future. He reckons we will put our money together and buy a house? How is that even possible when houses are $1M. I don’t have any skills other than cleaning and working in a fish and chip shop. I’m so hopeless. How would I be able to support him financially as well if I can’t support myself? My family is against me moving back there because they see no future for m in the small town and with that guy. Let’s be honest when I was having fights with him I would go to my sister or brother to vent. And it’s probably made him look like a bad guy. He’s a good guy. Because I vented to them about him, they may be biased if I asked for dating advice. I feel this tug of war between my family and my boyfriend. But I feel like if I would be moving back, it would be out of guilt and a “give up” on myself. He s probably going to be like I told you it wouldn’t work out and you didn’t listen to me. Another huge hit to the self esteem. I have experience childhood trauma with a broken family and it’s like I’m reliving it because I’m torn between people and places. I remember when i was a kid I would feel guilty being with one parent and vice versa. I feel so shit about myself and like a complete failure. I just don’t know what to do. People say that people end up like their parents and my boyfriends dad is very narcissistic and he literally tells you that he is better than everyone and smartest. He’s pretty cluey though. Also a womaniser. I do see a lot of his dad in my boyfriend. My gut is telling me that he’s not the right person to marry. But living here in sydney is giving me so much stress. Maybe I cut ties with everyone and move to another city? But I feel like no matter where I go my depression will follow me. I have no friends or unbiased family to ask advice. Bf is putting a timer on and saying he’s not going to wait for me and just stick around for me to fall back on if things don't work out. that is how he said his feeling. i feel like a terrible partner for making him feel this way. i would be letting down my siblings and family if i go back to my home town and live with him. what is the right thing to do? I have no clue. I’m literally sitting here in my room like a red hot mess.. people would probably think I’m on crack, haven’t slept.

I’m going to omit many details on this as there is an ongoing HR investigation into the matter and I’m not trying to complicate things further.
I work at a cell phone provider. I have a coworker who to me is very obviously autistic. His parents never got him officially diagnosed or took him to therapy. I’ve begged him for his sake to see a professional to better understand how to navigate the workplace and his life generally.
To give an idea of him, he meets all the signs of being on the spectrum. Monotone voice, difficulty translating or detecting emotion, completely unaware of how customers he’s talking to are reacting to what he’s saying, seeming developmentally stunted (acts more similarly to a middle schooler instead of his age.) I don’t know for certain if he’s autistic, but he has told me he even believes he is himself.
Thankfully he finally started going to a professional for help and just had his first session. Unfortunately, it seemingly was too late.
He has shown interest in trying to obtain relationships often. When he interacts with women he finds attractive, it very much reminds me of a middle schooler. He puts on an entirely different persona, tries to joke around more (although nobody can tell he’s joking because his intonation is flat and his jokes do not read like jokes), and tries to be “cool.” All has seemed relatively innocent though until now.
There was a woman who came into the store with her dad. My coworker found this woman who came in with her father to be attractive. The daughter bought a phone. As the phone was transferring data, my coworker (without telling the woman) went on the person’s phone and added himself on her Snapchat. He then snapped her with what he thought was a joke, which said “be careful who you leave your phone with” and had a picture of himself sent with it. I know this because my coworker told me after she left.
I laid into him for it, saying women have to deal with a lot right now socially and every single thing he did likely made this girl incredibly uncomfortable and even scared. I told him he heavily crossed boundaries and what he said to her made him look like he’s trying to scare her or worse, regardless of his intention to joke with her. He couldn’t see it as bad or negative. He believed everything he did was totally okay. I couldn’t convince him otherwise.
What he doesn’t know is I reported him to HR for this instance.
All this to say… am I the asshole for likely getting my autistic coworker fired? I have this pit in my stomach like I’m doing something wrong and should’ve better helped my coworker with his mental health so this sort of issue wouldn’t arise. I feel like a bad person simultaneously for feeling guilty because he did something that is unacceptable and I don’t want to feel like I’m coddling someone who displayed terrible behavior.

i’m a new player (picked it up within the last couple weeks, so apologies if i’m not using the correct terms for these items) and have been having a lot of fun with it even with the grinding. i’ve been browsing this subreddit and seeing the skill trees and builds makes me so excited to progress even further!!
BUT i can’t seem to figure out how to consistently get the colored soulstones (or are they called gems??) i have plenty of the minor soulstones, but i feel like i’m doing something wrong bc i end whatever round and only get one or two and then get materials and stuff. is that how it’s supposed to be? ive unlocked curses and have completed a couple maps on tier III at least, and i have a few characters up to 20+ prestige. i’m trying to finish the first skill tree but is there something i should be doing differently in order to get these things?? or are they specific to certain maps / curse levels etc?
ive tried to look through this subreddit and also on the discord and also on google but haven’t been able to get a straight answer as most answers come up talking about the actual materials and minor soulstones which i have plenty of. if that’s just the way the game is, like i said i love the grind, but i just wanna make sure im not missing anything and doing everything i can to get them to unlock the rest of the skill trees and characters. thanks for any tips / info y’all can give me :)
edit: and if there are guides that i completely missed please feel free to share them!!

I 15m have been dating 15f for 6 months I live in canada she lives in texas normally this wouldn't be such a big deal because I could visit her during the summer or christmas break. She is homeschooled and barely allowed to go out this poor girl gets hit by her dad her mom says disgusting things saying she "never wished she had her" and she "should just kill herself already" not to mention her brother sa's her alot. Whenever these things happen im obviously there for her. There have been nights when I stay on call with her all night because she has nightmares and is scared to fall asleep. I try my best to be there for her and I already thought about how im going to get her up here I have a summer job that pays somewhat well and I have been saving but we agreed to wait untill she is 18. The other day she tried to off herself with one of her dads guns but before she could she thought of me and moved the gun last second. Ive though of different ways to get her out of the situation shes in if she goes to the police then she will end up in foster care and go somewhere worse or stay at wherever she ends up because nobody wants to adopt a teen im now thinking this is the best thing for her now. She could also imanicipate herself and but she would have to get a job first. If any knows some way I can help please tell me it hurts so much onowing she goes through so much pain and im sure she is going to do something bad soon. She is the nicest and kindest and sweetest person I have ever met and it breaks my heart and there is only so much I can do right now.

I'm in my 30s, nonbinary, not religious at all. I live in the US, specifically Illinois. My family is very Catholic and I had a lot of religious trauma growing up. Every time someone in my family has passed, they have had a Catholic wake & funeral at the Church where I went to elementary school.
I don't have any real assets. I rent a 1 bedroom apartment, live in a big city so I don't have a car or anything. Almost all of my stuff is bought secondhand or given to me, and I don't make enough money to leave any kind of inheritance outside of my life insurance through my workplace. I don't have kids or a partner, and I don't plan on ever having kids if I do have a partner.
Outside of chronic pain, I'm in pretty good health and don't see myself getting naturally deleted from life any time soon. However, in the event of like, an accident or something, I want to write up something that says how I want my body to be taken care of, that I don't want a Catholic service, and since I've legally changed my name, I don't want to be deadnamed during the service (this isn't something I can really control, but I think putting it in my will would make my family/friends be more mindful of how they talk about me in the past).
Does anyone know where to start? It looks like a lot of these services are meant for people who have houses and a lot of money or kids and such. Can I just...write up something and have it notarized or something? Do I need a lawyer? How much should I expect to spend on this costwise?

Hey i'm Matt 28 and from Belgium, I've been single for some time now and thought I'd give reddit a shot.
A bit about myself: I'm 163cm so on the shorter side, brown hair and blue eyes. I won't mind sending a picture 🙂
I'm also very much into motorcycles as at the moment I'm also following a course to become a driving instructor (car and motorcycle) so I'm quite focused on that right now.
I do also love gaming, i play mostly on xbox but have a switch too. I've been mostly playing diablo 4 but have quite a big library of games.
I also like to go mountainbiking even though I've been slacking a bit. With the weather getting better I would like to get more into it again.
What I'm looking for:
Someone that has similar interests as I do and is preferably around the same length. And it would also be great if you're from Europe as I'd like to meet up with the right person in time.
Feel free to send me a dm if I peaked your interest and we can take it from there 🙂

Hey! This post is mainly about roleplaying online, but there are things involving D&D too. I hope it is okay to make a post like this! If anyone wants to use this story for their video, feel free to.
Disclaimer: I talk about self worth a lot, and how I harmed myself mentaly by thinking how worthless I was. Also there is a subtle mention of my self harm past. Just in case someone has problems being confronted with this!
Disclaimer 2: There is a transphobic comment coming from a person, that I don't see as to bad, but some might see as worse than I do. Also there is transphobia towards genderfluid people, so look out for yourself.
Disclaimer 3: This person is NOT transphobic, but they were pretty uninformed and unsensitive. This doesn't make it better, but I clearly want to seperate transphobic statements from being actively hateful towards trans people.
So I was roleplaying ever since 2016, when I was 14 years old. A few years later, I met a guy, which I'll call Chris in the context of this post. Our first time meeting online was tied to some drama. For roleplaying, we made wikis for our characters, and often would use existing characters from games and medias as a design reference. When I used a reference, Chris was really pissed, because he announced that he would use this character a few dqys ago, and I was already writing a character with that as their reference. I knew he planned that, and didn't say anything, thinking it would be better to just speed it up. Dumb decision of me, rough start, but soon we'd get along. It was pretty fun, we were both sorta the memeish people, and he seemed to be a nice guy.
We soon became friends, after I went into an RP break. During that break I needed to sort things out, due to covid and my outing as a trans fem, and a difficult relationship with my parents. I had a bad case of... thoughts and it hurt my self awareness, and self view on my "worth in life", but once that was sorted out, I decided to play again, and went into a older Roleplay, hosted by Chris. There were still some leftovers of lacking self love, though it got eventualy better during roleplay. Soon I realized that Cris and I would argue often about the simplest things. I decided it was not a big deal, and we would get passed these issues, sometimes without resolving it, sometimes with me being able to lay my stubborness away, which I am not proud of. In the cases in which he started the fight, I sometimes felt gaslit into thinking that I was the problem. It hurt my vision of my own worth, and I started to skill evasion, to not talk about certain things, just not to get reminded of how "worthless" I am. Sometimes I told Chris about this issue, and he'd be empathetic, but calmly said I need to work on it. He had a lot of self love, it felt like he couldn't understand my issue, but I don't know anything specific, after all I can't look into someones head. I think he meant well, but it felt unsensitive, and unempathetic at the end.
The roleplay he hosted took place in a big world, with a really awesome lore, not only in terms of world building, but also in terms of characters and species. The big issue I had was, that Chris introduced enemies to me, that he planned to be introduced in the roleplay way later, while he planned more and more main enemies to exist. As far as I know, the first main enemy still is the main enemy, despite being introduced for almost 4 years now. And paired with his situational motivation to roleplay (which is completely fine generaly, but then we'd need a solution for the main enemies), and his and my tendencies to create character after character (I had 63 characters for that roleplay), we never got to progress, and instead thickened our own characters plots.
One situation was pretty odd. When coping with trans discrimination, I often write stories or characters, that faced these problems too. That way I often felt like I could make it out of my strange situations too. I made a character that I was really proud of, gave her a trans fem backstory, that was one of the better one's I have written at that time and made her a badass, etherial bookworm with magic powers. Chris said that her issues with her trans discriminatory parents would be unrealistic, due to the utopic monarchy they'd live in, and because his queen character could change trans peoples bodies if they'd like to, by using magic. It was honestly weird, because I didn't know if he was supportive there, or unsupportive in that moment, but I know that it made me sad, and I stopped making her trans identity imoortant to progress the plot between her and her parents. This was also a character he often talked down, and Chris often stated his dislike towards her. (That was not of transphobic background, he just didn't like her character and I guess her skill set)
I also made a character that could shift from male to female, and the other way around, based on the skills used. It also was a solution for me wanting to use two design references without having to chose one, and dable into non-binary umbrella story writing, and play a genderfluid person, because I never did that before. After researching on those gender identities, I was hyped to try it out. He also stated, that he thought her being female-only would be cooler. My mind told me, that we potentialy would have this conversation more often, so to not get annoyed by him later on, I changed that person into a cis-female, which I think was really sad.
We had a solidified group of 5ish players that often did stuff together on discord. Sometimes some other people would join our discord server and talk. Daily roleplay players were peaking at... idk 10-15 players probably. Chris, me, and Arin (a friend of us, not his real name) often would hangout in the discord, talk about the roleplay and some funny, silly stuff. Memes were made, we made fun of each others characters (consentualy) and talk about nerdy shit often. At one point, we'd make silly tier lists, which I sometimes took to serious, because most of them were just silly stuff and I got offended by those... which I am also not proud of and have apologized for.
The only exception in which things were rather weird, were the power scale tierlists. My characters usualy got ranked into the higher middle spots, but sometimes I felt like Chris would talk some of them down a little. Having some characters be weaker was sometjing I was always open too, sometimes I would make younger and unexperienced characters after all. Even if he didn't talk down on my characters (which is possible too, those tierlists were subjective after all) then he definitely did with others. Other players characters we wouldn't regularly play with, were seen as weaker, which I thought was weird. Knowing all of those characters was impossible, because there were 120ish at the time, but they were still ranked, and the tierlists were publicaly posted in the roleplay chat. Some people got offended by that, which I can understand.
There was some out of rp stuff too, that annoyed me about Chris. Often it was about being the #1 simp of media character X, Y, Z... you name them. It got pretty out of hand, but once I told him directly, that I think that this attitude was annoying, and that he can't look at other people and be like "Yeah, this person doesn't love my waifu as much as I do", and that it was a weird thing to rank ik the first olace, it got quiter in that region.
Sometimes we argued about music, and he tried to come off as more informed as me, a metal/death screamer, and djent guitarist, with music theory as a hobby. And I'm not trying to say he couldn't, but he said some very uninformed stuff, and tried to gatekeep... I guess the subject "Favorite music"? by saying stuff like "People who don't know their favorite songs lyrics obviously don't have that as their favorite". That statement is weird, because as a guitarist, in some songs I pay more attention to the guitars more, than the lyrics. Especially because I have ADHD and often get distracted when trying to listen to song lyrics. We both regularly listened to japanese music too, which we both can't speak nor understand. It'd bring me down into thinking, that I might not be a great musician, or that I was to radical when someone hurts my feelings, or simply says something weird and uninformed. But I showed this to other friends, and they said that I was not. Even Arin often would find the reason for the arguements rediculous, and 9/10 times it was coming from Chris.
Arin would soon start to feel like me and Chris fighting would be nothing unusual, and that was a reality check for me if I ever had one. At some point, I realized when I got into a different discord server, and was being more involved with my real life friends again, that something fell off in the friendship between me and Chris. But at that time, me, Arin and Chris prepared a pirate setting D&D campaigne, which I was extremely excited about. I used to play D&D when I was 15-16 years old, and remembered having fun, so getting back to it was a great thing for me. I made a female babarian, weilding a sword and a axe, with a high roll of 15 strength, and was really happy with her. Her backstory was sorta basic, but it was still tragic and it was good enough for me to enjoy. I roughly remember, it was about her losing her family, and her becoming a mercinary, that would be part of a two people pirate crew now, because she got payed to.
All of this was for nothing though. Me and Chris fought again. The fight was about a word, that I used in a romantic context, him not knowing the word, and after googling the definition, thinking it couldn't be used in that situation. Both of us would get stupidly mad. He said some really hurtful shit, saying that I would weigh my friendships now, and that my new friends would be more important to me now. Me, Chris and some other frienfs had a Gartic Phone session coming up, hosted by me, and we didn't talk before or after that, because I told him that I need distance to sort things out. But sorting things out would mean to finally distance myself from him this time, and thus I ended the friendship.
The D&D campagne dropped, I spent more time with my other friends, and... never got to play D&D ever since. (It's been 2 years now) The same campaigne was DMed by Arin later on, when his girlfriend took my place instead. I can understand Arins decision, and we are not in bad blood, he is still my friend. Yet it felt like a kick in the face, because all my friends would have a campaigne now, and I was left in the dark, noticing people get to play D&D left and right. And his girlfriend told me that she thought Chris was really exhausting to play with too. To be gair though, I never adressed this issue with Arin, because he is constantly DMing for 2 years now, in a group with Chris. I feel like telling him this would make things either worse, and it feels like I'd pushy.
What was worse though, I talked to Chris nearly every day, leaving me with a feeling that something really important was torn away, because I ended the friendship. It felt like I did something stupid again, and I felt worthless again, until I got told otherwise. I tried coming back to that specific roleplay multiple times again, and roleplay with a friend of me and Chris, even trying to be in contact with Chris again. He has definitely changed, but after a few weeks of contact, I decided we couldn't stay in contact, and slowly let the contact slip away from us, without starting any fight. Any attempt for roleplay is ruined for me now, but I think I'd give D&D another try.
I definitely did some stupid shit too, because I got really emotional. But after building a wall between me and Chris, I noticed that a lot of the crap in our friendship was not just coming from me. That I was allowed to love myself too, and that he gaslit me often. I'm not sure if I ever get back to pure roleplay, but after 2 years, I am willing to give D&D another chance, after feeling left out for such a long time now.

I'm 17 and I've been looking into improving my free test for a while now. I'm not looking to use exogenous means of improving my test(I don't plan on ruining my HPTA any time soon), but rather natural means. I've been doing what I can, given the limited control I have on certain aspects of my life(sleeping 8+ hours a night, making healthy choices with food[when I can], exercising more, etc.) and for context, my parents are divorced and they have separate housing. When I am at my dad's house, I have very little control over what I can and cannot do(though I try) due to a variety of reasons. For dinner, it's usually fast food or maybe a prepackaged frozen meal. I am not really allowed to go outside(though I try to sit by my window to get some sunlight). I use my school's gym so I still get exercise in, but my life at the house(especially on weekends) is very sedentary. I do have access to some supplements that I have been sneaking in my backpack(vitamin d3, zinc, magnesium), and I've been taking exclusively cold showers for a few months now(I know there is debate on how effective this is, but there's no harm in trying). Another thing I ought to mention is how my dad has reacted to my trying to be healthier. I haven't been too forward with him, as I don't want to anger him, so I've just been making the healthiest choices I can with fast food, and I've been refusing desserts(politely) without really telling him why. My dad has recently caught on to what I'm doing and is not taking it well. He started trying to verbally dissuade me, "what? Do you think some sugar is gonna kill you" "c'mon have some" "wow you really don't enjoy life" etc. This, I could stand, but now he has moved towards more confrontative actions. He has been entering my room and giving me candy bars, trying to pressure me into eating them and leaving them on my desk when I'm using the bathroom so I can't refuse them. He has been putting dessert out on my plate even after I refuse, and then tries to pressure me into eating it, since "I already put it out and I'm not putting it away." Overall, he has been getting angrier and angrier with me, leading to out-of-nowhere yelling and this has caused me to give in for the sake of peace. My dad has been struggling with obesity for a while, so this might have to do with why he's doing this, but I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze him. My life at my mom's house is much better, and there are few concerns for me. Here is my question: What can I do, especially with my time at my dad's house but also when I'm elsewhere(mom's house, school, etc.), to improve my general health, test, and HGH? Are there any clear things that I'm missing? Any general lifestyle tips or suggestions would also be appreciated. If you have any questions or need further details, feel free to ask.
Also no I'm not going to use SERMs like enclo, please don't suggest that

TL;DR - Woke up with a cold & with sciatic neve pain that has persisted painfully for the last 3 weeks. What is the possible cause?
27F. 116lbs. Chronic Joint Pain & Swelling - gets worse when sick. Right Shoulder Injury - Winging Scapula, Bursitis & Snapping Tendons. Chronic Back Pain.
I woke up nearly 3 weeks ago with the common cold. Fever, headache, sinus pressure, fatigue, body aches & joint pain etc. I also woke up that same day with pretty bad low back pain that is traveling down my glutes, thighs, calves and feet. Both legs & front & back of entire legs & feet has been going numb. Numbness, followed by tingling, followed by the pinprick, followed by the feeling of sitting on a pile of embers. My PT says that my sciatic nerve is “irritated”.
While I have had chronic back pain for a long time - this sciatic thing is new as of the last 3 weeks. I can’t make it go away and I can’t get comfortable in any position. Even if I move around it comes back after 10 min. I am in PT and they are helping, but I am still missing a lot of work bc I can’t sit through the day. I went to see my PCP bc I couldn’t take it anymore and she didn’t seem overly concerned, so I am wondering what I should ask her to test me for.
Any suggestions?

Sir Pentious was flying his airship over dreamland laughing proudly.
Sir Pentious: It’ssss time for my take over of dream-
A bomb crashed through the window and landed on the snake sinner exploding before he could react blasting him out of his air ship and onto the hard stone ground below!
King Dedede: Well well! I’m flattered you’d wanna take over my great kingdom but imma flatten you for it!
Sir Pentious: Ugh! You’re dead meat you sssssstupid penguin-
King Dedede would rush over and slam him the face with his hammer making Sir Pentious slam into a tree. Some coconuts would fall down and the snake grabbed them throwing them at the pudgy king who deflected all but one that hit him in the gut.
Escargoon: Clobber him sire show that no good slithering, sloppy, serpent what for-
A few of the Egg Boiz would grabs laser guns and shot at Escargoon who began running away in fear as he pulled out a walker talkie and began calling the Waddle Dee’s.
Escargoon: YOU STUPID WADDLES HURRY UP AND HELP YOUR KING! AHHH!
He yelled as two lasers blasted him into the King’s nearby car knocking him out.
Frank: Well that was easy.
Egg Boi: You have a name.. why don’t I-
A car then ran over the Wgg Boi next to Frank and two Waddle Dee’s were driving it. One of the Waddle Dee’s jumped out and began swinging at Frank with an umbrella before being blasted into dust by a laser gun from Frank! Another Egg Boi went over to the car and opened the throwing the Waddle out before using the car to drive around as more Waddle Dee’s and Egg Boiz entered the field.
One of the eggs and waddles began getting into a slap fight! King Dedede crushed the egg in the slap fight before throwing a large nearby rock at Sir Pentious who dodged out the way in the nick of time.
Sir Pentious: Now that could’ve been ugly!
King Dedede began rushing forward so Sir Pentious pulled out a chain he used to wrap the large king up before spinning and slamming him around the field into Waddle Dee’s crushed by the fat king being whipped around.
At this moment Bandanna Dee would run over and kick Sir Pentious in the face making him let go of the chain and giving Dedede a chance to use his raw power to break free. Bandanna Dee then used his spear to cut off one of Sir Pentious’ arms that he quickly regrew before slapping the Dee away with his tail.
Sir Pentious: Minions! Bring the canons out and fire!
The Egg Bois brought out several canons that shot out many canon ballsand King Dedede jumped into the air hitting each canon balls back into the canon they were shot out of. But one canon ball managed to catch Dedede off guard from behind and send him tumbling into the car where Escargoon happened to be knocked out.
King Dedede: Wake your lazy behind up! Keep sleeping and you’ll be sleeping with the fishes you hear me!
King Dedede punched the snail on the head waking him up before pulling in the car before mounting its canon.
Escargoon: Let’s go to town!
Escargoon began driving around running over Egg Boiz and King Dedede shot at them sometimes hitting Waddle Dee’s they were fighting.
King Dedede: I’ll double your pay if I hit ya and you survive!
Escargoon: You don’t pay us sir!
King Dedede: Shut it before I make you crack like a walnut in peanut butter factory!
King Dedede went back to shooting as Sir Pentious grabbed a canon and laughed.
Sir Pentious: AHAHA! TAKE THISSSS!
He shot the canon and at the same moment Dedede’s car canon shot. The two projectiles clashed mid air creating a massive shock wave sending everyone away in the explosion. Sir Pentious even landing back in his airship.
Sir Pentious: Oh! Wait thissss issss perfect!
He began operating his airship to turn to the army below charging up a massive beam of holy light.
King Dedede: Oh no ya don’t!
King Dedede put on his mask and brought out the electro hammer as Egg Boiz blocked his path holding various spiked maxed, guns, and lasers.
And he sent out a single missile blasting most of them.
The Waddle Dee’s picked King Dedede and Escargoon was thrown at the ship by one Waddle and it did more damage to the Snail servant than the airship!
King Dedede: HEHE I CAN ALWAYS TRUST MY WADDLES!
King Dedede used the electro hammer for one electric charged swing against several Egg Boiz that splattered them across a rock. A nearby Waddle Dee then scooped up the yolks of the fallen Egg Boiz into a pan and lit a fire.
King Dedede would then jump into a hole into the ground and come out breaking the ground inside the Dededestoryer Z mech. It towered over the battlefield and slammed into the airship damaging it.
Sir Pentious: DAMN LASER FIRE!!!!
The laser and hammer clashed inan epic blow leaving an explosion that vaporized mountains nearby. We then see King Dedede’s army fall down to his castle crash landing in it.
King Dedede: Ugggh…
Sir Pentious’ bow very burnt tie then fell on the kings head as he would lay down on his side with a wide grin!

Some history
My agoraphobia developed out of a number of traumatic experiences when I was younger. It has been extremely severe in terms of avoidance. I hadn’t left my rural county in 9 years prior to now.
When I was 12 years old, I got extremely sick in the city (~35 miles from where I live). I had appendicitis, but the doctors at the time could not figure it out. It was too late. My appendix burst and I almost died. I spent 16 days in the hospital and had to withdraw from the remainder of the school year.
This as well as severe panic attacks that I developed afterwards led to me developing agoraphobia, along with PTSD, OCD, and panic disorder. I’ve had to build my entire life around my agoraphobia, missing graduations, weddings, derailed college plans, and losing friends. I always felt left out by missing out on things, and I felt guilty that I’ve deprived my family from experiences with me as a result of it.
I ended up graduating from college mostly by taking classes online from a reputable university. I got two master’s degrees afterwards.
It was found fairly recently (2022 or 2021) that I had a genetic mutation which was preventing my medication from working for most of the time I had been taking it, and I had to start taking L-Methylfolate for it to work.
My brother got engaged in January of last year and they have been planning the wedding for June of 2024.
Recent Events
I’ve been making more of a conscientious effort to do things outside of my comfort zone, and I think part of this has been finding the correct medication. I had never before felt like I could actually “do it.”
In October of 2023, I went to somewhere outside of my county with my mom and partner by about ~15 miles and closer to the city. We went to a coffee shop. This was my first time leaving my county since 2015. I was nervous and had to keep getting up to walk around while waiting for our order. I started crying when we pulled into the town outside of my county because I couldn’t believe that I made it.
I’ve had a remote job doing really rewarding work. Just last month, my job had an in-person staff meeting in the city. They knew about my agoraphobia, and there was no pressure for me to attend. But trying to build on my success in October, I pushed myself and made it. I made it to the city for the first time in 9 years! I was so shell shocked that it was hard for me to process. I was only able to stay for 3-4 hours, but by the time I got home, I was exhausted.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I went back into the city again with my parents to get fitted for my suit for my brother’s upcoming wedding next month. Despite my trip to the city last month, I was really nervous to go. I did get really nervous a few times as it was slightly further than my work, but I made it.
Concerns
I’m very nervous for the wedding, because it is much further than the city. It is ~65 miles from home, rather than the ~35 which I have recently just started getting accustomed to. That may not seem like much more to most people, but that’s huge for me.
My brother hasn’t really talked to me about his wedding at all. My other brother was asked to be the best man. I wasn’t asked to give a speech, but they want me to be in the line. My other brother (the best man) asked me if I was going to go to the bachelor party, which I don’t think I’m going to be able to do. I’m glad he at least asked.
My family has likely just got used to excluding me from everything because of my condition. But it’s still sort of hurtful, because I feel like I don’t matter as much.
I am not the one getting married and it’s not my wedding, so I don’t really have any right to complain about how they want to do things. I guess it just sort of hurts that I have been taking these huge steps to try to go, and I can’t even be bothered to be asked to speak or do anything else besides be in the line.
It sort of annoys me that it seems they didn’t even take the difficulty of me being able to attend into consideration. Again, it’s their wedding, but maybe I’m just hurt because I would do the same for my brother if he dealt with something similar.
I’m also really nervous because of how far away from home it is. My partner and I were going to drive separate so we could leave earlier if we need to. But being that far from home and having a panic attack is making me feel super uneasy.
I’m trying to stay positive, but I’m scared everyone in my family (mainly my parents) are going to hate me if I can’t do it. Quite frankly, my brother doesn’t even seem to care if I show up.
I’m not sure what to do. Everyone is just expecting me to be able to do it.

More All Stars Drama...
Son's regular season team had a managehead coach. There was an assistant coach who was the Dad of a teammate. The Dad is of course very invested in making sure his son plays and does well. He runs the practices, gets very vocal, etc...He always has his kid pitching and playing the important positions even though he is not the head coach. He is an assistant but has a very loud and aggressive personality.
Now the All Star list came out and this assistant coach is the manager of the 10U All Star team. And his son is on the team and the kid from the same team that was the best player was left off. To make it worse, the manager's wife and kid's mom is on the board.
How can you be an All Stars Team Manager when you weren't even a regular season manager? To me it seems like the Dad volunteered to be the All Star coach to ensure his son got on the team.
I know the best athlete's always get left off for Dad coaches. But I've never seen it where a non regular season head coach gets to step in to ensure his son a spot. That's the most egregious thing I've ever seen.

Hi, I can make 50 .EDU Backlinks from High Authority Sites. DM me for details

First of all, I'll just make it clear that I already realized that for the first solution, I could just factor it and we will get ½ln2 + ½lnx+4 + c, the first term here is just another constant so we can ignore it and we get the same answer.
But what's bothering me is, what happens if this is a definite integral? Do we still ignore the constant? What's the correct procedure if this was definite integral

Hi everyone. I just really needed to vent and hopefully hear from people that might relate. I'm a 21F in Electrical Engineering. I just finished my fourth year of college, and I have a year left of my program since I switched from Computer Science.
I'm not going to lie. I find Electrical Engineering to be highly dissatisfying. I also found Computer Science to be the same way, although I do like EE more than CS.
For context, I'm Indian. My whole life, up until the last year of high school, I wanted to be a doctor. It was only that last year where I started thinking if that was really what I wanted to be. I wanted to do game development, and I figured since I respect innovation CS would be a better fit for me, and I had taken some CS classes in HS and volunteered at a hospital which wasn't always fun. When I first told my parents of this switch, they freaked the fuck out. They thought I'd get no job. They literally started an intervention to get me to pursue medicine instead, it was a whole ordeal. I felt like absolute shit about myself. They eventually accepted it, but it definitely wasn't something they were impressed about, at least I don't think. They never said they were proud of me and didn't brag about me, even though that's something they would do even when I didn't want them to talk about me.
I always did above and beyond and they wouldn't be impressed. And then when they would be impressed, the trauma I got from them was so bad that I still hated myself. For example, in HS, I got salutatorian but I HATED it. My parents, in the other hand, were very proud. They bragged about it to the people they knew, even when I asked them to stop. I didn't want people to know, I didn't want to be celebrated, because that was a failure in my eyes and still is.
When I switched to EE, the same shit happened. They thought I was going to be a failure and there'd be no jobs. They could not (or didn't try to) understand why I couldn't give them an answer for what the salary is. I'd just say it depends on the industry, role, and other things. They didn't understand there wasn't a textbook answer like if I had become a doctor for how much I'd make, if I knew what type of doctor I wanted to be.
They eventually settled down with the bullshit drama, but I doubt them so much now. My mom says she's proud of me, but it doesn't matter what she says, I just think she's lying. She says she's proud, but then says the most hurtful things to my face about my major implicitly. And she stopped doing that honestly. But she will always do it again. Recently, I was talking about how I was so stressed because I was behind in this intensive coding program I signed up for because I was having midterms and finals for five classes this past month and I had so many deadlines for my research at the same time, while preparing for a conference. She knew all of this, then proceeded to say, "You should leave your switch home the next time you go to college, it only distracts you." Are you fucking kidding? I haven't played my switch in months, I barely get to do any of my hobbies. When I told her that, she said she only mentioned it because from seeing what I did back at home (I go to college in another city), she thought it was just distracting me.
I can't even describe how badly this hurt me, she turned herself into the victim when I tried to explain why it was hurtful, so I just gave up and hung up. She clearly thinks EE is a walk in the park, because she gave such useless simple advice that would seemingly solve all my problems. Additionally, my parents just don't recognize how hard I work, and it kills me. Of course she noticed me gaming over break, But what about the countless hours I grinded doing my research, sobbing because I was stressed about finishing enough over winter break? She KNEW how stressed I was, but ofc now she only remembers me "being distracted by gaming" but doesn't remember shit about how hard I worked. Oh, and I also mostly gamed because I had a surgery and was in so much pain, which I remember her telling me to get to work constantly while I was recovering too.
Before this semester, almost every semester beforehand I've worked at LEAST two jobs. It was only during the last semester that I quit my internship because it was so overwhelming to do that while I had to balance school and research. I wish I never quit. I had such poor grades then, but honestly my grades have only gotten worse even though I genuinely study so hard and try my best. Nothing has improved. If my parents knew my grades, they'd be horrified. My friends used to tell me how much I impress them, and that I'm taking on so much. They don't seem impressed anymore now that I don't have multiple jobs. Struggling is only okay when there is a reason. It's not acceptable for me to be struggling to pass with so much effort and just research as my other commitment. Because that's just one job. People used to say, "wow that's so much work!" now, when people ask me why I'm stressed and what I have going on other than school and I say research, no one comments the way they used to.
Now, I'm a C/D student, struggling to pass my classes. The way that EE is set up my university, if you fail a class you'll be set back for a whole year. Because all of the core classes are offered once a year, but they're prerequisites for classes you're meant to take the next semester, so if you don't pass them you have to wait a year before you can progress your requirements. But it's not impressive to just pass. I used to think working hard can get you where you want to be, but I disagree now. The amount of effort I put in is not proportional to the results. I get barely passing grades.
The future just seems so bleak. I want to pursue a masters after graduating, but I probably won't even be able to do that because my GPA doesn't meet the admission requirements and my GPA does nothing but drop every semester. I talked to an advisor at my school, and he said that my University won't even look at your application if you don't meet their GPA requirements. Which is devastating because I've done research since my freshman year. But instead of looking at someone that genuinely wants to pursue graduate school that is shown by their research experience, they'll accept someone who chose to do graduate school last minute and has no research experience because they meet the GPA requirement. I feel so lied to, GPA absolutely matters more than experience, from what I've noticed. It's just that if you only have the GPA without the experience, that's not enough.
My parents don't brag about me anymore, they say it's because it's not good to brag, which I agree, but they wouldn't stop even when I asked them to before. They only stopped bragging once I decided not to become a doctor.
Looking back, I regret not pursuing medicine. It's the worst regret of my life. I know that I would excel had I chosen a pre-med major like biology, because I always did well in those subjects. What I struggled with a lot was problem-solving like in Engineering and math. I chose something that does not come easily to me. But if I had, I would have easily gotten more respect and kindness from everyone around me. I no longer feel like working as an engineer would be meaningful, because it's not like I'm dedicating my life to saving others. Honestly, I could have become a doctor if my parents didn't place so much emphasis on it my whole life, I kind of had a crisis in HS, because I was worried that I only wanted to do medicine because I was brainwashed. Also, ever since I decided to do engineering my parents have placed so much pressure on my sister to do medicine which they never had before, because I was going to do it. Now my sister is getting ready to pursue medicine, and I just feel insanely envious. I'm going to be a failure next to her, who will be doctor. And engineers are just okay by Indian standards. Even if people in the Indian community ask me what I'm doing, they seem unimpressed when I mention that I'm majoring in EE, and assume I'm just going to become an electrician which is super insulting considering the education differences, or they say, "not a doctor"?
Please be kind, I'm really rejection sensitive, I can't handle reading passive aggressive comments, I just really want to feel supported right now. Please don't say becoming a doctor would be hard too, Im talking about pre-med majors being easier, And I've always done good at pursuing activities outside of college, so I wouldn't have struggled with that either. I know a pre-med major would've been easier for me and I would've garnered more respect.

truly on high copium right now hoping to pull through….i know lsat isn’t the type of exam where you can see massive improvements quickly but does anyone have any tips? especially for like inference and most strongly supported questions and rc in general? i’m both blind reviewing and using the loophole’s camo review and watching explanation videos on the questions i’m getting wrong. i understand why i’m got specific questions wrong but i find it hard to apply that to my skills.

I don't wanna say anything about pirating since idk if that might get me banned for admitting to a crime, but I have RE8, I tried to add it as a non steam game, the official RE8 popped up and is asking me to purchase it in my steam library. I can still play the version I have but I'm wondering what happened for that to occur?
