Two guys one horseurl

Indian (1996), made waves as an industry hit in Tamil, while also carving its mark in Telugu (Bharatheeyudu) and Hindi (Hindustani), boasting smashing box office figures.
Its success, particularly in the Hindi market, adds to the immense anticipation surrounding the sequel. On July 12th, two more big films are releasing in Hindi. Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira and John Abraham’s Vedaa.
Indian 2 doesn’t have many factors going in its favor except that it has some recall value. No one can predict what would be its collections on the opening day collections just because of its recall factor.
And now it is clashing with two big Bollywood films which will further dent its box office prospects. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar is going through the worst phase of his career. His films are opening at 2 crore collections on the first day. On top of it, Sarfira is the official remake of Sudha Kongara’s OTT film Soorarai Pottru. So the makers of Indian 2 must be assuming such a film won’t pose much competition to their film.
John Abraham’s Vedaa is also allegedly a remake of Ajith’s Vedaalam (though not confirmed) and it is also not much to be feared about
. Despite a three-way clash, Indian 2 should get the best opening in Hindi. The promotional campaign kicks off on May 22 with the release of the first single in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.

I'm not sure why.
Every time I think about killing myself, I can only imagine the reactions of my friends and family and how they would be so deliciously hurt: them wishing they checked on me, wishing they saw the signs, wishing they loved me more. Living in grief because they failed to give any attention to how I was feeling. It makes me feel euphoric to imagine them finally caring about me, having to carry that shadow on their heart forever, finally being immortalized in someone's memory as something they miss.
But I also think about it from their perspective, with ever-consuming grief, looking for me where I usually would be and not finding me there, going to talk to me and thinking "he's not here anymore. i forgot.", because I was such a significant point in their life that it feels like something is missing. And I think about how I've experienced that grief, and I don't want someone to experience that grief, and I don't want anyone to be hurt (but I really do at the same time, if that makes sense. is that weird?)
And then I think about how maybe they won't miss me at all, that I am just a fading memory, a gust of wind that leaves you thinking "wow, what was that?" and forgetting it even happened a few minutes later. Because I have never been something significant in anyone's life. I am a leech; I take and take and take until there is nothing left for them to give me, and then they leave with no second thoughts. No one notices when I'm gone, and no one has ever cared when I was gone.
After I got caught out before my first attempt because I tried to say goodbye to my friends, no one ever checked on me. They forgot about it. I was forced to go to two therapy appointments due to being a minor, had many of my rights to things taken away, but this was forgotten about after a week or so and I never went to another therapy appointment. Only one person ever checked on me after, my best friend, and I know my risk still worries her. I feel bad about hurting her (but she's hurt me so much worse, though she doesn't know that), and I love her to the moon and back.
The only thing keeping me from going is a suicide pact with my best friend, who has attempted once as well as coming close to attempting again multiple times. Not the most healthy way of helping each other, by living for each other, but it's worked to keep us alive this long, and I don't really know why.
This is mostly just a shout into the void, I guess. No need for anyone to respond, but it'd be nice to know if anyone's experienced this confusing oscillation between excitement over hurting those close to me and the horror and sadness over hurting them.

Hi guys, I haven't done any programming in years (last was C++ on vim in college like 7 years ago), and I have a noob question.
So I'm playing a video game where you have 3 different vital stats meters (Health, Chi, and Focus, let's call them H, C and F for short). In the game you can equip various gems that boost these stats by different amounts. For example a weak basic gem can increase H +1, another increases H+1 and C+2. Some gems increase one stats but decrease others, like for example F +7 but C -3, or C + 4 and F + 1 but H -2.
How would you go about writing a C++ program to calculate which combination of gems would maximize these stats? Also out of curiousity, is there any branch of mathematics or optimization that deals with such problem? If you wanna know the game is Jade Empire.
Thanks!

In a year old relationship with 32M and i am 35F
Sharing few incidents that happened yesterday
,1. After a bike ride I was having stomach ache (i had a slight one before we started the ride and yes i should have mentioned, that was my mistake) but he could not even comfort me. We came home, he said take meds and that's it. He got busy on his phone. And I just thought wait when he is sick or having a basic headache I go all about taking care of him from soothing words, hugs, food etc and this is bare minimum that I expected. when confronted he said so what do I do? I can take u to a hospital. I felt deeply sad.
Was i wrong? Was i expecting too much?

1. He is emotionally a big zero. He says he is a winner in life ( he is doing good for a 32 y old) but he can't do all this emotional shit. This emotional thing is important to me. He says go and date garbage men who have no assets, no goals and lot of emotions. My self confidence and self esteem is down and when i am sad and my mood is off , he asks why are u so depressed, i am like wow who talks like this to their SO
   
2. During the whole break up fight he started saying things like- how will you tell your mom (she also likes me), how will you tell your frnds about the break up, how I dated all wrong ones in the past and now I have him so I should be glad and not mess it up.
   
3. I told him I can't be with a man who is unkind, disrespectful and has zero empathy. To which he said you won't get a better guy than me now (hinting I am 36 and won't get a good guy he is 32) I said even u won't get a better girl than me to which he said ya of u to say so. How cocky can one be?
   
4. i feel taken for granted, unloved and dismissed as he thinks he is some superior man who has a upper hand and i won some jackpot by having him in my life.
   
5. He said don't irritate me or i will smash your face. Is this how love and caring looks?
   
6. Yes, he does plan dates, rides, drives, helps me in my house but does it mean i overlook other things?
   

Update 05/08/2024:
They keep torturing me again, and will not stop. They say they will never stop. It hurts a lot!
Apparently they originate from Liquid Zoo as one of their connected places. There was a man in the building after my phone was swiped off of me there at the bar, I called the phone provider that night for a trace. They denied having it, and I said that I know they have it since I traced it to this building through my provider. You can check my phone records and the companies records of when I ran that trace. I had to force the staff at Liquid Zoo to give it back. They cloned it, and my GPS kept bouncing back to that building over and over again, until my mom told me it was showing I was there when I wasn't. The man in the building had grey hair, was slender, and had blue eyes. It might have been him that targeted me for trying to get my phone back that night, and he probably thought I overheard what they were talking about. I didn't. I just wanted my phone back... So Liquid Zoo definitely has something to do with this situation. They are owned and run by gangs, so it wouldn't surprise me. I bet that the people in Vancouver, were interfaced and tied to the Liquid Zoo gangs in Kelowna, and that road crew guy I saw in Vancouver and in Kelowna, was IDing me for them. Find out who was on a road crew putting out cones in front of the Thai restaurant across the street from Bardel Entertainment in Kelowna BC, in 2017/18 spring or fall I believe?, it used to be a wings, and you will find at least one person who is interfaced. I suggest you match his interface calibration and enter their system through his connection. Really grill him after they kill or jail me.
Oh and they have people in your department that are working for them, so be discreet about this. Watch how the people around you react to this investigation. Are they trying to shut it down, or start off pretending to follow the leads and THEN trying to shut it down when they come up with reasons for why you should no longer investigate this? Honestly. So many people have these interfaces now, that one of the two people standing beside you, are probably under their control at this point. Watch who flocks to the scene of the investigation. They are probably interfaced too, and are trying to dissolve the process to make me look guilty, and like an idiot, or crazy, when I am not at all. These people with interfaces will plant things, orchestrate things, and put on friendly faces when they are actually enemies of humanity in general. They lie and frame people into looking guilty when they are not, to shut down investigations. Important ones. Actually, go through all the investigations that made people look like pedophiles and rapists, and review them. Were these people really those things!? Or were they set up to look like that and then blamed for that, to shut down the investigation? They tell me if I post this, they will jail me and/or kill me for it. I simply don't care anymore.

Some guy in my city is selling a used Vintage V1003 Reissued for around $240 usd, which seems like a good deal to me considering the guitar seems as good as new and a local store sells new ones for twice the price. I have never played guitar before in my life so I have no idea if this is good or not and if it would be a good choice for a beginner or not so yeah any input would be appreciated. He also says that it needs to be intoned which I have no idea what that means, do I have to pay someone to do that or is it something I can do myself?

This was a reply I wanted to post to an old posting here: https://www.reddit.com/darksouls3/comments/5li2k1/why_do_chaos_pyromancies_require_0_faith_and/
I could not submit the comment, but I spent a considerable amount of time writing it and referencing that I thought I might share it with those who enjoy combing through the Dark Souls lore.
As a note, I am only a recently new player. I picked up DS3 very recently, and have no experience with the previous titles nor any of the titles since. It's my only Fromsoft game that I've played.
Anyway, the comment.
I know this is an old post, but I'd like to add some ideas.
Without intelligence (which I assume is like knowledge, with added wisdom in same cases), the fires of the chaos flame, as well as along with all fire in general, leads to eventual destruction. Intelligence is what *attempts* to give form and control over the natural power of chaos and fire.
The story is sad but helps reveal this idea. The spell Great Chaos Fire Orb explains:

• "The Witch of Izalith and her daughters birthed the Flame of Chaos, but it devoured them along with their home."

To emphasize its destructive power further, Chaos Bed Vestiges:

• "... Demons born from fire bore its smoldering essence and perished soon after. Man shares this rapport with the flames to this day."

Additionally, the spell Floating Chaos deepens the scar and explains the need for wisdom to remember the power of chaos (INT):

• "Pyromancer Dunnel was fascinated by this ceremonial art employed by the clerics of the Smouldering Lake. Chaos burns away in the blink of an eye, but was the primordial life born in the Bed of Chaos, and a grievous symbol of Izalith's sin."

To control chaos and the power of flame in general requires high intelligence. In fact, if you look at the pyromancy table in Fextra, you'll see that almost all pyromancies demand equal if not higher INT to FTH.
Of the 30 acquirable spells (not including WA Combustion and Parting Flame):
15 spells INT = FTH (even requirements)
8 spells INT > FTH
5 spells FTH > INT
2 spells FTH + INT = 0
The 5 spells which require more faith than intelligence include:
Poison and Toxic Mist. These are the spell arts of Eingyi, who is described as a heretic (defined as: a professed believer who adopts and persistently maintains religious opinions contrary to the accepted standards of his church). These are pure faith spells, fittingly.
Acid Surge, another pure faith spell, coming from Carthus. The reasoning on this one, I have not determined.
The highest faith only spell is Warmth at 25 FTH. The description of this spell points to another true aspect of flame, besides its destructive nature, which is aptly placed as the name of the spell: the warmth it provides. When one is cold and it is dark, warmth provides life, hope, and light. It makes sense that this should be a pure faith spell, also due to the fact that its casted effects are essentially that of Miracles (healing) and is described as a desire to connect to the gods (hope/faith/yearning):

• "Peculiar pyromancy of the Mound-makers. Creates a gentle flame that restores HP on touch. They feared separation from the gods and sought a familial bond, perhaps leading to the creation of this flame of harmony."

Of these, last is Boulder Heave, a spell acquired from the transposed soul of the Stray Demon. It requires 8 INT and 12 FTH. Naturally a pyromancy spell should come from a demon. But this one is astray, and had been away from the source of its origins far too long, that it had lost its connection to its boiling flame somehow. You'd expect to see in the boulder's place, mostly likely, a spewing surge of magma. Instead, there is only unmolten rock. There is no fire, and thus no chaotic flame to control, so less INT is required:

• "Art of a stray demon of a stifled flame. Spews a boulder from one's mouth. The boulder is heavy, but shatters easily."

There are only 2 spells that require 0 FTH and 0 INT.
That would be Chaos Storm and Great Chaos Fire Orb - the only two spells from the Izalith Pyromancy Tome, the same Izalith that was destroyed by the chaos flame.
Cornyx explains:
"Heed my words, Unkindled One. Fear the fire. The home of pyromancy, Izalith, was scorched by the very fire it created. Undoubtedly, it was a flame of chaos, tangled by a witch's hand. But who's to say that this Bonfire's flame is any different."
In this case, it seems these two pyromancy spells illustrate the raw devastating power of chaos. No faith or intelligence is needed, because, as described in Chaos Bed Vestiges:

• "... Demons born from fire bore its smoldering essence and perished soon after. Man shares this rapport with the flames to this day."

Man shares the same relationship to the flames as the demons did/do, who were born from the fire, and of the fire, within. There is no human faculty necessary (no faith or intellect necessary). These are the spell arts that the Witches of Izalith discovered, the deep source within, but at a cost.
I'll include to observe the Quelana Pyromancy Tome, which contains a spell much like Chaos Storm called Firestorm. This spell requires 0 FTH and 18 INT, which is relatively high:

• "Primal pyromancy taught by Quelana, a daughter of the Witch of Izalith. Surrounds the caster with multiple pillars of flame. The raging storm is indiscriminate; such is the intrinsic horror of the flame."

Although the description says "indiscriminate", we as casters are not injured. That's explained by the tome itself:

• "A pyromancy tome of Quelaana containing her unique spells. These pyromancies can only be taught by a female master. Give to a female pyromancy master to learn Quelana's pyromancies. Quelana, the sole surviving witch of Izalith, once accepted a human pupil, but after the pupil moved on, she never took another."

As the sole surviving witch of Izalith, and a daughter of the very Witch of Izalith, Quelana saw first hand what can happen to those who posses the flame without wisdom. All 3 of her pyromancies require highter INT, with 2 requiring 0 FTH. She is the harbinger of wisdom, and as the tome further explains, she never took on another pupil. The devastation had been too strong, I suppose. Rapport is a spell from her tome, which possesses an enemy's mind and turns them into an ally. This is interesting because Quelana decided to study how to control the flame within others. Who knows when she acquired this skill, either before the chaotic end of Izalith, or because of it.
So these are my ideas as to explain the reasons behind the specific requirements of faith and intelligence to varying pyromancy spells. As a note, I don't see these as spells, I just happened to write it that way. As opposed to sorcery, the source of pyromancy comes from within one's very own being, with the required skill to manipulate it.
I hope you enjoyed this.
So what do you think? Thanks!
PS. I love this game. ;)

Usually in many fantasy stories there's the orcs. Humanoids who are usually large in numbers, technologically primitive, physically strong, usually a threat to the hero, can be killed without much remorse or regret, and serve as a good overarching threat or henchmen for the enemy. Usually uninteresting, although that impression might be because of the low-level stuff I've been reading.
That said there's usually some interesting types that can be seen over the years. The interesting ones I've seen are:
Warhammer 40k orks:
A warrior race that is less a 'race of humanoids' and more a highly aggressive mobile ecosystem designed around war. The gigantic green-skinned humanoids are the final fruiting stage of the ecosystem. Spores are released by warriors, which then germinate, and grow to create agriculture, beasts of burden, servitors, and finally underground pods from which burst out the gigantic warriors that serve as the main fighters and warriors. Which release spores as they travel, fight, and die.
Grol, from the blood war trilogy:
Beastmen who are solely carnivorous, fight in undisciplined hordes, and view everyone else that is not them as 'food'. Including babies. They weren't a threat, until they stumbled upon a cache of precursor weaponry that gave them the equivalent of M16s and Howitzers when everyone else was stuck with bows and arrows. This leads to a gigantic shakeup in the status quo. The strange thing here, is that there's an entire faction that's genetically identical to the Grol, but they fight in formations, do *not* eat people, and also are capable of actual treaties and living peacefully with other people. The grol are the way they are because they are because of culture.
Have you guys seen any interesting 'twists' or applications on this stereotype/ trope?

1. Magaganda ang uniform ng schools here. Unlike sa uniform namin dati below the knee ang skirt, dito sa new school ko normal lang kahit two inches above the knee ang skirt. Maganda rin talaga ang blouse kasi may vest din (SHS) tapos long black socks (JHS) kaso pagtaggal parang nakakaiyamot na rin gawang mabanas isuot.
   
2. Pwedeng may kulay ang buhok. I mean, pino-prohibit talaga s'ya sa school namin, pero bakit kadami kong nakikitang may kulay ang buhok pero wala namang ginagawa yung mga school admins? So keri lang, tuloy ang plano kong magpa-burgundy kahit magpasukan na 🥰
   
3. Kagaganda ng bahay. Like sa 'min dati dahil province nga, yung kahit one storey lang house mo basta may pintura, sliding window, naka-tiles, may aircon, may kulay ang bubong—presentable tingnan in general, maganda na at mayaman ang nakatira. Pero dito? Suskopo, napaka-common lang n'yan. 'Yan pa yung maituturing na middle class dito tapos yung upper class yung talagang rwo sorey house na basta yung makikita lang sa exclusive subdivision. May nakita pa nga akong three storey house, house na American style, tsaka yung parang cabin.
   
4. Halos lahat ng kaklase ko, religious. Every time may performance tasks kami, sinasabi ko "Sa weekend na lang tayo mag-practice", tapos sinasabi nila "Bawal ako sa Sunday, may church ako", and I was like—whattt??? Sa lagay mong 'yan, palasimba ka??? Parang ako nga lang yata ang hindi nasimba kada linggo sa amin eh.
   
5. Iba ang pakahulugan nila sa "exemption", specifically sa exams. This last quarter, may NAT kami. Sabi ng teacher namin, ang makakapasa matic exempted na sa periodical exam. Eh ako, nakapasa ako sa almost all of our subjects, tapos nung kaarawan ng exam, binigyan pa rin ako ng test paper??? Sabi ko nga sa adviser na proctor namin "Ma'am, bakit magta-take pa rin po ako eh sabi po ng Ma'am *** exempted na ako?" Tapos sagot n'ya "Ineng, magta-take ka pa rin pero perfect na ang score na ilalagay sa record sheet." Gets ko naman kasi need yung result sa pag-a-item analysis kaya nagsagot na lang ako. Tapos ito pa, sinabi ko ulit na exempted na ako sa isang particular subject, ta's sabi ng ma'am "Ineng, kung hindi ka magta-take ulit, yung score mo na sa NAT ang score mo rin sa exam na 'to. Oh ano, payag kang 40 ka lang sa exam? Yung sa Top 1 ng Einstein, nag-take ulit at naka-49." Obvious namang pine-pressure ako ng teacher na yun kaya nagsagot na lang din ulit ako at naka-49. Ang akin lang, anong klaseng exemption yun? Ang sa amin kasi dati, 'pag sinabing exempted ka na, talagang exempted ka na. I mean, no need to take the exam kasi matic perfect score ka na. Hindi yung kung ano initial score mo (sa summative test or kung ano man), yun na rin final exam mo. Tanginang scoring system 'to.
   

Hello, everyone. So basically there is a one guy that I really like. I saw him 2 or 3 times in the club with my friends and I couldn't make it to approach him and then I downloaded one dating app and I saw him there I was so happy that time. And of course I send him a request to talk we talked a little bit then I asked his instagram we exchanged it I started to talk with him on insta. The thing that he started talk with me fine in the beginning I mean not ignoring but now when I writing smth on insta he saw it but didn't respond to me. And I again wrote to him smth because he posted story and he answered to me normally after that I wrote to him and he didn't check it out 2 days my message. The funny thing that I was with my friend and I saw him accidentally in the street that I really didn't expect him to meet in there but he was with someone it was a girl. And I couldn't make to approach him that time because I was kinda shocked (we never hang out together). I am kinda thinking that it's destiny we are meeting so many times and I even found him in dating app that made me happy to find him there but he is acting so rude I mean he started show kinda interest to me but now he is so cold. I really like him so much. Pleased anyone give me advices about this situation. (Also, he used to watch my stories 2 or 3 times and now he is not even looking my stories)

Help me figure out where to live, please ☺️ I am a single 30f, have two small dogs, have a car, work in the service industry (open to other careers if they present themselves when I move, I do have two bachelor’s degrees), max monthly budget for place to live is $1800-2000. Moving fall 2024. I currently do not have a job lined up as I am about 4 months away from moving.
I am open to living anywhere in the LA area. I do NOT want a roommate. Safe area is important to me, but I know it’s a big city so “safe” is relative. As follows are ideals but I ABSOLUTELY can compromise on these: Would be great to live close to some amazing restaurants (possibly ones I could work at!), I am a powerlifter so would love to live in close proximity to a powerlifting gym, great area to walk dogs, would love to live close to the beach. Prefer a studio or small one bedroom, so size is not important!
I am really open to any suggestions— where to live or work. I am just excited for the opportunity to live close to the ocean, mountains, and in the sunshine. Thanks for helping! ☺️

Was trying to get rotor off and it is completely seized on even after using fire and oil and two days of sledgehammering it. Eventually got it with a gear puller but it pulled the entire wheel assembly off with the rotor still connected. After banging a couple times one of the holes that are used to hold the caliper bracket in place just fell off without me even hitting it directly and just from vibration ig. Any ideas?? 2001 Ford F150 5.4 V8

He said he made one guy in AA "his warden" I don't know hat that means but he is constantly violating the anonymity of AA and comes in to find freshly sober people to draw them into masonry. He tried to get me to join but it felt very weird. I think he's only been a Mason for a few years.
He also always talks about how it's full of local rich people and if we join we can rub shoulders with them.
It feels like a creepy MLM scheme.
I've read some of your posts and you guys seem like good dudes so that's why I'm confused.

Yall idek where to start; I’ll preface this with I promise I’m not from Alabama. Okay so I’m 19, and I have one neice (7), and a nephew (5). They’re brother and sister, and I was babysitting them the other day and they wanted to play family. My Nephew was the Dad, Niece - the mom, and myself their kid. I didn’t see anything wrong with it cause they’re kids, and like it’s very innocent. Anyway, in the game I was in my fort (my “bedroom”) and I heard them whispering, and I looked out and saw them kissing. When they saw they got caught they laughed and said were kissing. I let out a nervous laugh but I told them that’s innapropriate. I wasn’t really sure if that was the right thing to do cause I didn’t want to embarrass them but it seemed like it wasn’t their first time doing this. I know they are young, and are probably mimicking what they see but I didn’t know how to tell them without being aggressive and still enforcing something. I also don’t know how to tell my brother (their dad) — or if I even should? idk yall id be a bad mom for sure.
This also makes me think what other kids are doing this— is this normal? I realized their behaviors were similar to their own parents, nothing inappropriate but how they verbalized in the game.
Also this wasn’t just a peck guys, If it was I don’t know if I would be this concerned either— idk. I’m literally 19, so if this is something I shouldn’t be worried about let me know, but I definitely don’t want them to have the wrong ideas engraved in their heads at a young age.

Ok So this new guy started working with me couple months ago he’s really cute and super nice he does have a girlfriend. I know it sounds bad but listen, we were talking one time just about stuff and I swear out of no where he kinda asks me shyly what part of the lgbtq community am I so I tell him I’m very gay and follow up with a which part are you then he says stuttering “oh I’m not” one- I feel like I’m obviously gay at least in my head and two why would he ask that out of nowhere maybe delusional but idk lmk

(this isn't hateful, I'm just being critical)
Ski is obviously leaning towards the rage sound we've seen gone viral these last couple years but obviously, the hype has died down. If he had released this a couple years ago everyone would eat that shit up but it's 2024 now, yeat for example, someone who is known for "rage" has expanded past rage in his new project, trippie redd has a "sad boy" album after having a successful rage album.
Ski is hopping on the "wave" way too late and no one wants to hear rage anymore. The reason people like Ski is because of the creative production and cool wordplay with cartoon references and other unique shit. That's what he's known for and what he's been praised for.
The new single "Headrush" is deathly mediocre and Ski is basically saying a whole lot of nothing to the point where it doesn't even feel like a Ski song anymore.
Homeboy should really get out of the "rage" thing because I really don't want an album full of songs like "Headrush" and I feel like most people can agree with me on that take. After a long ass hiatus we would expect way more than what he was offered us.
I hate to criticize him for trying something new and stepping out of his comfort zone but I feel like not enough people have told him this sucks. Honesty is gonna have to make it through Ski if we want actually good music, I don't care about a drop, I want some quality music
I genuinely love ski, he's a great guy but all the false release dates and the really horrible new single isn't painting him in a good light. I hope ski isn't being forced to drop though, the last thing I want is for ski to feel pressured into doing all of this.
quality over quantity
hope he's doing well

I’m not a big believer in the paranormal or anything like that and I’ve never heard of anything like this but two nights ago I had woke from a strange dream and in this dream “baba yaga” was being repeated over and over to the point that I woke up mumbling it. I remember being in a very dark room and in the far corner was a person or something hunched over wearing a oversized hooded gown stirring a large black pot. Like one of them pot you’d see a leprechauns gold in. this person/it was not saying anything and their back was towards me but I had a strong feeling like it knew I was there and was waiting for me to approach or interact with them but It was like I was frozen in place ..baba yaga was being repeated over and over again but it was coming from and directions and sounded like a echo in a large cave… I have no idea what the dream meant and I can’t find anything related to my experience on the web besides some folklore of a witch or something like that but nothing to do with dreams and I have no idea how it fits into my experience or life and it’s been haunting me.. anyone else ever have a similar experience because everyone I tell this story too swears I’ve gone crazy for thinking it was anything more than just a dream but I remember everything too vividly for me to shake the feeling that it was something more..

I was diagnosed with narcolepsy type 2 over six years ago, my sleep study and MSLT were “textbook cases” of narcolepsy according to my doctor. When I did the sleep study, I knew nothing about narcolepsy and was expecting the sleep study to have come back normal like every other test I’d done for my extreme fatigue.
Years later and I’m still struggling with the n2 diagnosis. Type two seems SO different from type 1, like a different disease all together more closely related to IH. Because of this, I keep thinking maybe it’s just a defiency that wasn’t tested, maybe if I take the right supplements I’ll be cured, etc. I’m having such a hard time accepting the diagnosis for what it is because of how different n2 is from n1. It feels so much more like these other post viral chronic illnesses, my symptoms mirror CFS so well.
Xyrem/Xywav has been the only helpful medication that’s made me feel somewhat normal. But it’s come with such bad side effects every time that I’ve had a lot of trouble sticking with it longer than 4-5 months at a time. The drastic increase in anxiety/ocd despite SSRIs being the main one. In it I feel awake for the first time like I could function, but so anxious that I don’t think I could function at all in that regard.
I’d really love to hear from others with n2 or IH—
-Was sticking this xyrem / Xywav sodium oxybate worth it? -Have you found anything else beneficial? -How did you come to accept the diagnosis
Thanks❤️

Hey guys- been on a hunt for dumb phone/ phones to get my screen time down. Got a nokia flip 2720, didnt really work out for me- bit too klunky and doesn’t run on android. Came across unihertz’s products, and i wanted to try a second hand one for myself, and commit to a real one if im happy with the experience. On the secondhand marketplace where i live in HK, someone is selling a jelly pro with 1 extra battery and atom for cheap. I know these are older models, and im aware of battery life issues.
I would aim to have this phone last me around 1-2 years, ill use it for listening to music for a couple hours maximum, WhatsApp, Google maps, occasional calls. Ill have another normal smartphone at home but ill only use it in the evening for more tedious stuff.
Based on this info, which second hand phone would you guys recommend i go for? Jelly pro/atom? Does anyone still have one of those phones these days and how is it holding up?
I wont buy a brand new one because laws aren’t t super consumer friendly, you cant return a phone if you’re not satisfied with it unless theres a defect. I cant really do a trial period and return it
Anyway cheers! Super stoked to have a tiny phone and thanks in advance to anyone who answers!

I found this gorilla tag ARG a while back, but it hadn't posted for about 2 months up until today, where it posted 5 times in one day.
If you don't know what Gorilla Tag is, it's a simple tag game on vr, except everyone is a gorilla with no legs, so everyone has to use their hands to get around.
The game is pretty creepy when playing alone, due to the community creating many "ghosts" that would terrorize servers or ban you, yet these rumors were never true.
Even though none of the ghosts were real, it has still shook a big amount of the community, since the game itself seems creepy even though it isn't. (If you wanna learn more about Gorilla Tag's weird creepy undertones watch this video, trust me it's really good: https://youtu.be/sZwB5HK65k8? si=EMVel1SXS7aYzOMN)
Anyways, this ARG seems to capitalize off the creepiness of Gorilla Tag, creating what (atleast I believe, from my knowledge of the game and each video) a fake ghost.
Each video has atleast one or two ciphers it in, most of which are Morse code or binary, the usual. Although some are not.
I scanned the QR Code at the end of "EMERGENCY_ALERT" and it let me to this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11JWJ7u_odhSuCnF3i54J94i6DH_g1Hakm1ZE3xIk2E8/edit (was originally a tinyurl link but Reddit doesn’t allow url shorteners)
This document seems to be a scrambled up log of some sort, since it's titled "01" l'd assume there are other logs needed to piece together a full story of some sort, those of which might be hidden in other videos.
The description of each of the newly posted videos just has random words in them, not quite sure what it means though.
The ghost "SHADOW" also seems to play "My Way" by frank sinatra Imao. In both "mike yankee whiskey alfa yankee" and "i did it my way" (two most recent uploads)
I haven't translated other Morse code or binary l've seen (I'm too lazy Imao), so those might lead to more hints toward this "complete story" of sorts.
Please help me decipher this ARG and discover what might be hiding on the channel. Feel free to use this post as a discussion board of sorts if you decipher things in the channel or that kinda stuff.
Oh yeah btw here's the channel: https://youtube.com/@vanishedshadow
