“Sun protectant…..right!?”🙈
Why would anyone in their right mind buy this based off your review alone? You haven’t even used it yet!! So much to unpack in barely ten seconds.
1– girl you think that tiny ass clasp is for a DIAPER BAG? At least read the manual. Even without seeing it up close I’d bet it’s for the roll up shade or to extend the back cover. It’s a clasp. It’s joining another clasp end. It’s not going to hold a heavy ass diaper bag. Terrible salesman.
2– “looks exactly like our other stroller which was so expensive” sooooo why’d you buy it? Your super $$ stroller converts into this exact stroller shape, but of course you didn’t read the instructions on that one either. You thought it came with a damn bassinet for overnight sleep.
3– Neither of you understand SPF/UPF coverage? It’s like you don’t know how to read. Research it! You’re becoming parents!! Gabe could benefit from learning about UVA/UVB rays with his purple skin, and Grue has been sunburned multiple times while pregnant. This poor baby is going to have zero sun protection. She’s going to put little cutesie sleeveless outfits on and try to make her wear sunglasses and a big floppy hat for pictures and just call it a day. Sorry Blanca, we’re trying boo-boo.
4– Cupholder 👍🏼 got it. No one needed an extra video on the cup holder alone. What about the important stuff like brakes or secure seatbelt or good wheels, etc. Nope! We need a good cup holder for our 835 daily drinks. (Little does she know you can just buy a dang cup holder for your car seat) but THAT was the selling point?

2024.05.19 18:57 Lonely-Trick5614 Opinion on Crisis Core Aerith?

Hey everyone! I’ve seen a lot of differing opinions on how Aerith is written in Crisis Core vs the Re:Trilogy (also vs the OG). I’ve seen people say that Aerith’s character was the worst in CC, I’ve seen others say it’s the best… I’ve seen people say that the Re:Trilogy writes Aerith badly because it makes Aerith out to be one that gets between Cloud and Zack and was written to pit them against each other (even though Zack is dead??) I was curious on what people here thought about it, if you like one better than the other, or if you like both and don’t have a problem??? personally I always thought that CC Aerith was a young Aerith that hadn’t fully grown into herself yet, and what her and Zack had was fleeting young love and wasn’t that serious, but I do think it was kind of cheap of them to try to copy clerith moments from OG just to make CC and zerith more appealing

2024.05.19 18:57 beccaannn scared of being schizophrenic

i’ve seen a few posts about this. but i feel like typing it out will make it make more sense. i’ve have depersonalization-derealization disorder for about 10 months, depression, anxiety, and ocd. the ocd isn’t diagnosed like the other things but it’s not hard to figure out if you have it. i am always obsessing over something that’s wrong with me, for 5 months i was convinced i had cancer, and developed symptoms of it. for these last 2 years i was 100% convinced i was having a stroke and the symptoms of it and went to the hospital so many times and the side of my body would go numb. i’m female (20) years old. and these last few months i’ve moved onto schizophrenia. i’m so paranoid. i’m always seeing things in the corner of my eye. i’ll be in bed on my phone and i swear i hear someone say my name. or i’ve heard quiet music. all of this sends me into a panic attack which worsens my dpdr, i know from movies and shows and reading about it that people with schizophrenia think someone is following them, etc. so when a car was parked outside my house of course that thought crossed my mind, and made me feel even worse. i always have to check my back seat before i drive away at night time or i’ll think about it constantly. i know that is probably ocd tho. i’m always telling my friends i’m so scared of developing this and they think im crazy and they say of course i’m not why would my kind happy self ever become schizophrenic. but how do they know? i have so many other issues and i’m so i’m edge i can start to develop any kind of symptom.

2024.05.19 18:56 Designer_Age_8294 Am I Expecting Too Much? Struggling with My Boyfriend's Lack of Texting (22 F 22 M)

My boyfriend isn’t a fan of texting, and his friends often get frustrated with his lack of responses or slow replies. He’s told me that I’m the only person he really talks to over the phone because he knows it’s important to me, and I believe him since he rarely replies to anyone else. However, I still feel frustrated by the limited communication. We usually text 4-5 times a day and have one phone call daily, typically on our way home from work or before bed. We see each other once or twice a week, depending on our schedules.
I can't help but feel upset about how little we talk, especially since we don't see each other that often. I feel guilty for feeling this way, wondering if I'm expecting too much. A few months ago, I mentioned that his texting had dropped off, and he did improve for a while, but now it's back to the usual 4-5 texts a day.
Am I being unreasonable? I don’t know how to address this again because I know he doesn’t like texting. It’s frustrating because he spends time on his phone for other things like YouTube. It makes me feel like he doesn’t want to talk to me.
For more context, he does make an effort to meet up, and we go on dates every week or most weekends. But, for example, last night he went to his uncle’s birthday BBQ and then out for drinks for a friend’s birthday, and he didn’t text me once between 5 and 10 PM. It upset me because it felt like he didn’t want to talk to me, but I understand he was busy.
Am I overthinking this? I know some people just aren’t glued to their phones, but what’s your opinion?

2024.05.19 18:56 likescacti People who don't understand Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

I've got dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
Dyslexia - I'm tired of people saying "same" when I have spelling issues. Like, respectfully, no it's not the same. We all make spelling mistakes and that's normal. It's not normal I functionally need autocorrect to spell at an acceptable level. I understand they're trying to be kind though, so I admittedly should work on just letting this one go.
Dysgraphia - First off almost nobody knows what this is (impacts handwriting and or written expression). This one hits me the hardest.... I can sign my name alright thanks to lots of practice. But when I tell people I shouldn't be the person specified to take notes, I'm not being lazy. My notes actually suck. My handwriting looks terrible. I have trouble staying in the lines, I swap back and forth between cursive and print, the spacing between my letters is inconsistent, my "5" and "S" are actually identical. What really gets to me when is when people do see my handwriting/notes and they feel the need to, often without the intent of being mean, call it out like "wow. You can read that?". Or sometimes I'll tell people I have dysgraphia and my handwritten is horrendous. Then they'll insist I write something out to "prove it". So I can either say no and seem lame, agree and write my normal way and have people laugh at my bad handwriting, or I can work extra hard and make a sentence legible be told how my handwriting is fine and have them question if I really have a disorder.
Dyscalculia - again not a lot of people know this one (math related issues). But once they hear about it, they almost always insist I don't actually have it. For example, someone saw me add 3 dollars to a tip and said "you added that correctly". Like, okay? I can add and subtract from 1-25 pretty easily. But when it gets a bit more complex I need a calculator. Or they insist I can't have dyscalculia because I'm a grad student. I try to explain I can understand what to do and grad courses totally let me use calculators. I can use my notes to run statistics. Literally nobody runs ANOVA's in their head. I will admit I am lucky I only have a mild degree of dyscalculia that primarily impacts my "pure math" ability. I can do word problems or figure out my own research data; but when something is totally abstract and devoid of a context (like ACT and GRE math) I take a really big blow... But people still insist it's not real.
Basically I'm a bit annoyed with people who think learning disorders are the same thing as misspelling a few words, that I'm lying because I'm a grad student, or get enjoyment out of making fun of my poor writing.

2024.05.19 18:55 NWaitforitZ Rank the following paper tiger number one seeds in the West: 2021 Jazz, 2022 Suns and 2024 OKC

Kind of funny how three out of five number one seeds in the West since 2020 turned out to be paper tigers. I’ll be ranking them by how fraudulent they turned out to be.
  1. 2022 Suns. 64 wins in the West, by far the best record in the league. A clutch machine, top 5 in both offense and defense. A well-oiled win machine. Booker 5th in MVP and First Team All NBA, CP3 Third Team All NBA, Bridges First Team All Defense, Ayton, one of the better centers in the league, Monty COTY. The only team that was supposed to rival them in the West was Warriors, that’s it. Their opponent?
52-win four-seeded Mavs team that traded Porzingis at the deadline for Dinwiddie and Bertans. Luka was Luka, Brunson and Dinwiddie high level guards who could shoot and handle the ball, DFS, Kleber and Bullock really good 3 and D guys. All those guys were in their primes other than Brunson who turned into an All Star-ish player that postseason. Luka missed a few games of that Jazz series in the first round, and they still won in 6. The concept was: surround Luka with guys who can space the floor, can execute on defense and handle the ball when needed. It totally worked. Let’s be clear though: this team was still a level below the Suns. Dallas was a tier 2 contender in the West. Phoenix was a title favorite basically. Suns in 6 was probably the most popular pick.
We all know what happened. They went up 2-0 and 3-2. They layed a giant egg in Game 7 at home. It was over in the second quarter. No real excuse. Their greatness in the regular season, strong contender status, an embarrassing fashion in which they went out and the fact that they lost to a really good not great team that lost in 3 to the Warriors in the next round makes them an easy number one.
  1. OKC 2024. Just hear me out. 57 wins in an absolutely brutal West. The toughest conference of the 2020s for sure. Top 5 in offense and defense. Excellent halfcourt offense. Second best net rating in the league only behind Boston. Great record against good teams. SGA second in MVP, Chet a DPOY candidate by all the metrics, Dort an All Defense candidate, Daigneault COTY, Jalen Williams played like an All Star for a while (Bill Simmons said J-Dub reminded him of Kawhi, so that’s almost like an award). Were they considered the best team? No, the Nuggets were, but they were certainly in that second tier with Minnesota. There were concerns about their youth. Yet this team had all the regular season metrics in their favor, they had talent, depth, youth, athleticism, two-way play and excellent coaching. Their opponent?
A 50-win five-seeded Dallas. No refreshers needed for them. OKC lost in 6 as a favorite. And here’s why I ultimately have them at two on this list: what advantage did Dallas have over them before the series?
Home court advantage? No.
Rest advantage? No, they went six with the Clippers, while OKC swept the Pels.
Coaching advantage? No, Daigneault is one of the most esteemed coaches in the league, while Kidd is probably not even in the Top 10 for most people.
Injury advantage? No, Luka was not at 100% the whole series. He was pretty bad for half the games, just like he was the previous round. Plus, they lost Kleber who is one of their few two-way players. The Mavs were the most successful with Kleber on the court vs the Clippers. He was more important for them than Gafford, Lively less so, but Kidd was most comfortable having Maxi out there. OKC was fully healthy.
Talent advantage? If we include the first eight players in the rotation, then 100% no. You would predict Dallas to have two of the three best players in the series (Luka and Kyrie vs SGA).
Matchup advantage? Not really, because even though we knew Dallas was gonna have size and good rim protection for 48 minutes, we also knew that OKC has two shooting bigs and they play five out most of the time, so it was possible they would just kill them from the outside, so I wouldn’t say Dallas had an obvious matchup advantage going into the series.
We know what happened next. In three of the four Dallas wins, they led the whole fourth quarter. Game 4 it was the same story, but SGA got hot, Mavs missed a ton of FTs and somehow choked that game. Now, obviously they didn’t go out in an embarassing fashion (17 point blown lead in Game 6 is bad, but it was a close game in the end), but I will say that they were certainly outplayed in Games 2 through 5. It probably should’ve been over quicker. They had OKC’s offense in the mud (it was SGA or bust for them the whole series, which is what the Mavs wanted), overpowered them in the paint and on the glass, and they scored just enough to win four out of six. Almost the entire time Dallas was in control. OKC didn’t even choke away a series lead (1-0 doesn’t count). They were just completely outplayed by a team that wasn’t supposed to outplay them (unless Luka and Kyrie went supernova which is maybe the opposite of what happened). In the words of Bill, that felt pretty paper tiger-y to me.
  1. Jazz 2021. 59 win pace, best record and net rating in the league, top 5 in both offense and defense, three All Stars, DPOY and All NBA guy (Mitchell, Conley, Gobert). Everything was great in the regular season. Now, they went out way more sad than OKC. Choked a 2-0 lead, lost the last two games against Kawhi-less Clippers, blowing a 25-point lead in Game 6. The reason I have them behind OKC is that they definitely had the most excuses out of all these teams.
First, no one actually took them seriously as the number one seed. OKC was definitely behind the Nuggets this year, but no one else in the West. In 2021, people would take the Lakers, Clippers and post-deadline Nuggets over them in an instant. Wasn’t close. Lakers had the eight best record in the West that year, and everyone would still take the Lakers going into the playoffs. So, they were already known to be paper tigers.
Second, they lost against the Clippers who had more talent, a better coach and were a bad matchup for them. They were second in Net Rating that year too. The last two games against Dallas in the first round they looked like a bona fide title contender. Prime Kawhi, PG, two forwards/small-ball fives who shot 40%+ from three in Batum and Morris who could space out Gobert. They went down 0-2 and then blew Jazz out at home in Games 3 and 4. They were easily the better team, and I don’t know who would suggest they weren’t before the series.
Third, the Kawhi thing was a big break for them, but they were unlucky themselves. Mitchell missed the last 16 games of the season with an ankle injury, missed Game 1 of the first round and hurt it again in Game 2 against the Clippers. Conley missed every game of that series but the last one, came back and was awful. We’re seeing three years later how good Conley is. Terance Mann also went for 39 points in that Game 6, which was pretty fluky. No wonder they lost.

2024.05.19 18:55 The_Karate_Nessie How to write an argument between a couple?

For context:
-The guy doesn’t want to fight, but she’s being overdramatic and paranoid and he doesn’t know how to get through to her.
I have been working on these characters for quite a substantial amount of months now, and I completely understand their motives and personalities etc, but for some reason I can’t figure out how to write an argument scene. What are some tips for writing dialogue that builds tension between characters in hopes of strengthening their bond (for now)?

2024.05.19 18:54 L0rem-Ipsum-Docet Charlie carries a part of Charlotte’s Soul

Charlie carries a part of Charlotte’s Soul
Because people don't make enough theories about novels, here's a short theory about them.
As we learn at the end of TFC, Charlie does not have a soul of human origin since she is an agony creature/an object infected by agony (I know it’s debatable, but it doesn’t really matter for this theory). Her memories therefore come from after the creation of her main bodies (after 1983) as well as from fictitious scenes staged by Henry to make his daughter believe that she had a life during the period of the creation of her body. As clarified by Elizabeth, before Charlie had a body, her memories were either those of Henry or memories made by Henry.
Basically, she has three types of memories:
  1. Charliebot's direct memories (for example, the events of TSE or her memories of childhood spent with her friends), the equivalent of our human memories. We know that Henry has access to these memories and can suppress or modify any memories he wants.
  2. Memories made by Henry, who used camera recordings that he filmed himself (for example, some of her memories spent in her father's workshop).
  3. Memories from Henry himself that Charlie absorbed as any agony entity would (for example, Henry crying with his daughter on the hill or Henry discussing with Jen about Charlotte’s ghost).
So far so good, it's logical, and all of the memories from this time could have been created by Henry without too many problems (since they are mainly memories of Henry working in his workshop alongside his daughter).
These fabricated memories therefore certainly date from the year 1983, or even 1982. We know that Charlotte was reported missing in October 1982 (or it was retconned in 1983, whatever) and that she was buried in 1983, which leads us to believe that Henry began his experiments around this period. In addition, Charlie mentions knowing her friends quite well when she was a child and was around them for at least two years (she mentions in TSE a passage of time of two years between the first and the last time she invited John to her house), meaning that they spent a few years together. So the period where Henry must have falsely manifested the presence of his daughter must not have lasted many years either, therefore easily explaining how he was able to stage everything without much difficulty for Charlie's memories after 1982 and before she got a body (it was only a matter of a few months).
This is all well and good, but what about memories from before Charlotte’s death?
At first, we can say that they should not be very complicated to reproduce either and that they are staged by Henry. They are mostly childhood memories, after all—basic memories from early childhood. But it raises some inconsistencies. Certainly, Henry could have recreated memories where he and his daughter talk at the Fredbear despite the place having fallen into ruin, but recreate a memory where his entire family is present? It gets harder... This is definitely not the second category. So these are probably memories belonging directly to Henry, right? And yes, it already works better. Charlie could just remember family moments and father-daughter moments via Henry's own memory by having his own feelings superimposed on hers. Except... what about the scenes where Henry is not present? The scenes that only take place between Sammy and Charlie or between Charlie and her mother (well, I have to admit, it’s not like there were a lot of scenes between Charlie and “her” mom—there’s only one for them in the entire trilogy), and where Henry is undeniably absent? What do we do with them?
And then, it must be said that the fact that Charlie so easily differentiates her feelings and those of her father, even when they are quite distinct, is a little strange. Since when do agony entities feel the emotions of a person attached to their victim and not of the person themselves? When Henry puts his rage into the fourth Charliebot, he didn’t put the rage he imagined the robot was feeling; he put his own rage. It's kinda weird. So yes, Charlie was able to reinterpret the memories, but to this extent? I’m not that shocked because… it’s Charlie. She’s already a bit of an exception, and she also seems to already interpret things in her own way, as seen in the memory on the hill and in the memory where Henry is talking to Jen about Ella, but still.
And above all… Charlie remembers her kidnapping. Or rather, the kidnapping of her brother who is in fact her sister (it quickly becomes complicated). It can't be a memory of Henry; he wasn't there. That's clear. We are therefore left with the second solution: Henry recreated this memory by filming the scene. At first, it seemed coherent. Henry just changed the fact that it was Sammy who was kidnapped and not Charlie, which explains this change without creating any inconsistency.
Except, first, that means Henry got up one morning and decided to shoot a film of his daughter's death (aaaand... surprisingly, now that I think about it, it's completely something that Henry could do. Well, I'm still putting it here because it's really twisted). Next, how to shoot this scene without Sammy? Well, fortunately, there is a fairly simple solution for that. Henry has conditioned his daughter to consider that the person she misses and who was kidnapped is her brother. We know that Henry can manipulate his daughter's point of view to a certain extent, and that could quite clearly be what happened in this case. As an adult, Charlie immediately thinks that her instincts to go into her closet and commit suicide are a manifestation of her brother (which is false). Likewise, Henry had no problem making her forget the fact that Sammy moved into the new house with them. So yes, if the scene is actually filmed, a young child would be needed to play the role of Sammy, but Sammy himself is not necessarily required. Which leads us to the question of which kid did Henry take to play in his macabre roleplay where he would have played the role of his daughter's murderer?
Another major problem: Charlie remembers being face-to-face with Spring Bonnie. How could Henry have known that his child was kidnapped by William when the case was never solved (I mean, Sammy could have talked about it, but if that were the case, why is Henry still friends with William if William is the number one suspect?)? And can we talk about the precision of the scene? Charlie's false memories are moments where she does not interact with her surroundings (for relatively obvious reasons such as a camera can’t talk and doesn’t have arms), unlike this memory where Charlie interacts with Sammy.
And then seriously. Why did Henry create such an atrocious scene?
For realism?
No one remembers the conditions of “Sammy’s” death in any case. People don’t even know he’s not dead at Hurricane. Why not pretend that his daughter was not present during the kidnapping or make her believe that she has forgotten this horrible memory?
Because he believes Charlie has the right to witness a realistic version?
First, this is not Henry's mentality at all (he’s the guy who lived in total denial for two years) and then Elizabeth directly says that the false memories serve to maintain the illusion that Charlie is a happy child and absolutely not a paranormal entity traumatized by her father's negligence and the incomprehension of her condition.
“He made memories for you; creating a life for her little rag doll, making her a real little girl. I am sure that many of these memories were carefully crafted and embellished (...)”
—Elizabeth, TFC
I also want to point out that Henry altered Charlie's memories in 1985 (before his suicide) to force her to forget every trace of Afton. We know that’s the case because William had already met Charlie before and probably studied her with Henry, but Charlie doesn’t even remember seeing him before in TSE. Henry is the only character who can manipulate Charlie's memories, so he’s the one who did it, even if his motives aren’t very clear.
Maybe Charlie just imagined the scene herself then?
Yes, but no. Firstly, because she would need to have cosmic gifts to guess that William was disguised as Spring Bonnie, and then because it's not really Charlie's habit to invent memories, even for events of which she is aware and which she could more easily recreate (for example, the separation with her mother, which Charlie finds strange not to remember, but she never reinvented a memory herself).
Just inconsistency and negligence on the part of the authors?
Yes, there is probably that. But now that it's in the final book, we can't just ignore the problem.
And this is where I propose my theory: Charlie's memories from before 1982 do not come from scenes created by Henry, nor even from Henry's memories; they come from Charlotte. I'm not talking about Charlotte's soul itself, I'm talking about agony or rather feelings in our context.
As explained by our friend Phineas in the FF, in the Fnaf universe, objects in our environment can absorb the emotional energies that we, beings of flesh and blood, produce. Phineas mainly focuses on negative emotions and feelings since he considers them to be the most powerful emotions in the world of Fnaf, which I absolutely disagree with, but it has little importance here. The important thing is that we introduce energy into receptacles unintentionally.
“[Human emotions] emanate from us or are excreted from us, if you will, like sweat or tears, and it wafts outward like a noxious cloud, soaking into the surroundings.” —Phineas, Epilogue 1:35AM
However, these feelings are not necessarily negative. They can be positive as it's suggested in the novels when Charlie says she believes in ghosts and Marla adds by talking about her own experiences in certain places which seemed to give off a positive energy. It is even quite logical with the fact that Henry's denial is an emotion powerful enough to feed the entity that is Charlie (even if denial isn't really suffering), and the fact that David seems to be able to put happiness into the Mimic even when he wasn’t aware yet.
So.
Wouldn't it be normal for the very strong feelings that emanate from a young child to be stored in an object that they rarely part with? More precisely, an object that contains very strong feelings to the point that they can be considered a source of energy would have every chance of being a transitional object, an object that toddlers use to develop emotionally and have a first control of their emotions—a cuddly toy.
Do you have any memories from your childhood? Probably. Do you have an object that reminds you of it? It could be anything, a book, a toy, a stuffed animal. You know, that object that appears in old photographs. Personally, I had a rabbit plush that I never let go of. It is an object that accompanied me in my childhood wherever I went, offering me comfort when I needed it, and I spent hours playing with it. Now, let's take a look back at Charlie's memories of her early childhood. These are pleasant moments that can mark a young child, almost exclusively moments of play and rest. Moments spent at Fredbear's, moments in the car... The kind of moments where it would be normal for a young child to have a toy, a plushie... maybe a doll? You understand where I'm going with this.
I mean, it's not like it’s an unknown concept in Fnaf. We can think of Simon, who talks to Jake and is not haunted by a soul, or even Tyler's Tag Along Freddy. And I will pass on the theories which propose a solution based on agony concerning Fredbear Plush in Fnaf 4.
When Elizabeth talks about her life (and death) to Charlie, she talks about her Charlizabeth phase in a very specific way: Charlizabeth's body received emotions but wasn’t able to interpret them before gaining consciousness.
“Of course, I could not comprehend those memories until I had received a soul of my own (...). Once I had endowed myself with a soul, I experienced those memories anew: not as an uncomprehending toy, twitching and seizing with an all-consuming rage I could not fathom, but as a person.” —Elizabeth, TFC
This is where it gets interesting. This is exactly what happens to Charlie regarding her old memories. They are memories that she has reinterpreted. Charlie is not a robot; she is originally a rag doll. And… well, in the end, we don’t know much about this rag doll. Her name is Ella, or Henry renamed her Ella, it's not very clear (not to be confused with the Ella doll, I know it's very confusing, but the doll we're talking about was not built by Henry). It was an object purchased in a shop rather than being made by Henry, and above all, it was a toy that belonged to Charlotte (biological Henry’s daughter, I mean).
Now what's interesting is that Henry cried into this object for days and nights, no doubt because it reminded him of his daughter. Even once the shock stage had passed and the denial stage approached, Henry did not part with the doll and kept it in his workshop on a chair. I would like to point out that this happened when Henry did not believe that his daughter's soul was in the doll but believed that Charlotte's soul was in another doll (the other doll also called Ella but which was created by Henry, the one we see in the novels). So if he keeps the doll displayed like this at home, it is probably because it has a very strong personal connection to Henry, and it was an important toy in the eyes of his daughter.
Let's imagine that this doll was Charlotte's cuddly toy, an object that she regularly kept with her and for which she reserved particular importance. The doll was able to integrate the emotions, feelings, and memories of its owner like any object in the world of Fnaf, without being animated by a conscience—a conscience that would only develop when Henry put all his negative feelings and his love for his deceased daughter into it (feelings obviously much more raw and powerful than the simple emotions of a toddler).
Now, let's go back to the memories in question. Charlie remembers the times spent with family, since she was with her family but in the form of a toy. She remembers the moments between Henry and Charlotte since she was with Charlotte and Charlotte's interpretation of the world was transmitted into her doll. Charlie remembers the play scenes between Charlotte and Sammy since Charlotte was playing with her. Which leads us to the kidnapping scene that Charlie remembers.
As for Elizabeth, the memory is a reinterpretation that Charlie carries out on Charlotte's feelings during her kidnapping. Not everything is real since Charlie was then influenced by her father (just as all of her other memories are biased. Charlie thinks she IS Charlotte the little girl when she was just her doll, a bit like how she identifies herself as Charlie in the memories she inherited from Henry, instead of interpreting them as being Henry himself).
Charlie is traumatized by this event, truly traumatized. Because Henry himself was traumatized by the event or for another reason? What traumatized Charlie the most was the figurative mutilation she suffered when her “brother” was taken from her, but her brother was never taken from her. Could the trauma not come from the brutal separation from her owner? It is also interesting to note that once Charlotte was kidnapped by William, Charlie only remembers the events very very vaguely and only vividly remembers the moment when her father got her back (the moment when Henry intervened and Henry was able to transmit his own memories to the doll). Before the kidnapping, Charlotte and Sammy were going to sleep (a situation where kids often have a plush or a doll with them), and we know that Sammy had a toy during the kidnapping. Moreover, if Charlotte was indeed separated from her doll during her kidnapping, this explains Henry's obsessive behavior towards his daughter's toy: it was the last object she had before disappearing, totally the type of object on which a father incapable of mourning would become obsessed.
To sum up my idea:
  • Charlie is also influenced by Charlotte’s feelings.
  • Henry (and William and Elizabeth, who based their work on Henry’s) doesn’t know this (he stopped caring about Charlie after he understood that she wasn’t Charlotte after all).
  • All of Charlie’s memories from before Charlotte’s death mainly came from Charlotte’s own memories.
Or in a form of a timeline :
https://preview.redd.it/me5uz2xxve1d1.png?width=722&format=png&auto=webp&s=27b372a8eb6605752f059e61a13836758b329dfe
Two things to quickly add about this.
Firstly, in a more general sense about the series, this reinforces a certain link between the three main agony entities (whether they are creatures created solely from emotions or those possessing objects) in the series: Charlie, Eleanor, and the Mimic. If we consider that the backstory about the pendant mentioned by Talbert has any connection with Eleanor (which is rather implied) and that she (or at least her physical body) was created/re-used by Talbert (already more debatable, but I believe it's a fairly widespread theory about Eleanor? I’ll leave it to those who know better to discuss this in the comments), it seems relatively interesting that the three most conscious entities purely constituted of agony that we know of are all objects that were linked to a child before being infected by more violent emotions from an adult. It might be a silly remark; I haven't delved deeply into Eleanor's character for this lol.
Secondly, regarding the novels: the memory of Charlotte’s kidnapping could be the element that made Henry realize that William was indeed the person who kidnapped his daughter. TFC suggests that Henry understood before the MCI that William was his daughter’s murderer (notably because he seems to recover Charlizabeth before the children's disappearances). I generally assumed that Henry realized the truth about William when the latter stole the fourth Charlie model, but it would indeed make more sense for Henry to understand via an external event.
The trigger event between William and Henry is not William’s theft. After all, William has no valid reason to suddenly betray Henry and jeopardize his cover and his restaurant project with the Twisteds, just to steal an unfinished model (if he could, he would probably have stolen the third model, which was likely much more advanced and even maybe finished). Henry would have understood by visualizing Charlie’s memories or she might have mentioned the memory to her father. Henry would have turned against William, and in the panic, the latter would have returned to steal the only model easily available. This also explains why Henry didn’t tell the police that he knew William was responsible for the MCI and his daughter’s death even though he was convinced of it: revealing his undeniable proof would mean exposing the true nature of his daughter.
Well, that’s all from me!
(Btw, I wanted to add pictures from the graphic novels but couldn't because they actually didn't understand the twist and represented the ragdoll as classic Ella. Seriously I hate these books).

2024.05.19 18:54 Traxxya Dogfight Training [Rehuo Lore?]

Dogfight Training [Rehuo Lore?]
[Rehuo, Pilot, and Prez are high in the sky, sun glinting off of metal and scales alike. The air is calm, the could are light and fluffy. Perfect day to play.]
<>
[His tail twitches in excitement. This Metal-Bird is going down.]
"Try and catch me then!"
<>
[Immediately he twists off tucking a wing and rolling into a cloud. He climbs as high as he can. The Metal-Bird is so loud he can clearly hear it following him up. He stalls himself in the air. And dives down towards Pilot.]
[Pilot turns his F-14 Tomcat into a Split S. Maneuver. Keeping Rehuo hot on their trail. A collision would not be good]
<>
"This is fun. You can see behind you without turning!"
[Rehuo has no idea what these two-legs terms mean. So he's completely caught off guard by the evasive maneuver. He continues diving for a few hundred more feet before following in suit after them]
<>
[Pilot shows his expertise in his craft and is able to pull off a tight right turn. Something Kavrala would think is actual Artificer work. Unfortunately Rehuo is able to keep up with this. Flying at an even rate.]
[The two are spiraling upwards together, and Rehuo takes his chance to blow a plume of smoke their way. Prez notices the smoke.]
<>
[Much like an actual bird Pilot is able to evade the smoke seemingly effortlessly. He ducks down and around it before leveling out and going into afterburner. Making a wide circle around Rehuo. The nose of the Tomcat is inching closer towards Rehuo's tail.]
[Inexperienced in fighting anything other than dragons Rehuo see's this wide circle as an obvious "I'm going to get the jump on you and latch onto your back." So he instinctively stops and hovers mid-air, keeping his head and body turned towards the Metal-Bird.]
[He spits more balls of smoke their way.]
[Pilot has to take the Tomcat out of its wide circling to dodge between the smoke.]
<>
[The aircraft climbs straight up into the sky. Rehuo panics. Being above the opponent is everything in dragon fights. He struggles to regain his forward momentum]
<>
[And the bird whizzes right past Rehuo. Finally, he is able to gain his forward momentum]
[With that near miss Rehuo disregards it as a tiny lapse in judgement. Of course he can still outfly this two-legs thing.]
"Watch this, I bet you can't pull a maneuver like this off!"
[He flares his wings, catching air with the membranes and slows all movement to allow himself to fly mere feet away from the top of the Metal-Bird.]
<<>>
[What? But- how? The Metal-Bird should be unable to- This train of thought is cut off my Pilot.]
<>
[Rehuo roars in frustration. Which can be audibly heard by Pilot and Prez inside the aircraft. Now above the Metal-Bird like he had originally planned he peers through the glass at the two.]
"I thought I was out of the view of your little metal-spitter device."
<>
[Rehuo is silent for a few seconds]
"May I look through your memories to see what it looked like from your end?"
<>
[He re-watches the entire fight from Pilots view and cannot help but feel his head get warmer. He growls and grumbles. A feeling no dragon should ever feel is in his stomach. Embarrassment.]
"I look like a hatchling from your view!"
<>
<>
[Rehuo snorts and blinks. It pains him to even think about saying this. Let alone acknowledge it.]
"No.. I should not have underestimated you. If this were not play I would have died."
<>
"I am not the one who is worried for your safety, you should tell Kav that... We should land. And we should do this again. I will practice more."
<>
[Pilot and Prez wave goodbye, and Rehuo acknowledges this with a friendly mental nudge]
"See you around, Metal-Bird."
/Uw apologies for any errors I'm super tired lol

2024.05.19 18:53 BOKUtoiuOnna Butch inceldom/stone butch blues

Today, I watched a video on a left-wing media channel about people (mainly straight men) with issues in dating and incels. As always, all discussions of issues with dating centres only cisgender heterosexual men and women. When the interviewee, a man who was researching incels and those struggling with dating, was asked about the lgbt community, he spoke about how he definitely saw dissatisfaction in older gay men, who'd aged out of the stereotypical image of young gay male attractiveness. I found it irritating that he glossed over all other lgbt people, especially since I see the people who have the most in common with straight men in our community are those of us who are extremely masculine (butch, transmasc) and date exclusively women.
My first relationship was when I was in university and was very toxic. Codependant, sexually abusive and far too drawn out (1.5 years). After that, I had about 3 more unsatisfactory brief sexual encounters. I was then sexless for 3 full years. I got in a relationship and it was the first time I have ever felt like my gender and sexuality as a nb stone butch was respected and understood. My gender and sexuality feelings are undeniably extremely atypical and burdensome to navigate. She made me feel sexy. She dumped me 9 months into a happy relationship, "randomly" (in her words), because she was feeling slightly afraid of commitment. She said I could do better. I found that to be a ludicrous thing only an attractive cis femme could say. The likelihood of me finding someone who accepts me with something akin to the sexuality of a straight man in the body of a woman is next to none.
I have learnt that I am expected to be as sexually aggressive and proactive as a straight man. Without exception, femmes are upset when I am not and will never make the first move. I perform poorly on dating apps and hate them. I find it a good way to meet crazy or unsuitable people at best or, more commonly, get ghosted. I would rather like to meet people in person. When I try to improve my confidence and talk to girls I find attractive in real life, people around me have a few discouraging responses to it:
  1. "Is she even gay?" "How do you know if she's gay"
  2. "Why do you flirt like a straight man, that's probably why lesbians don't like you"
  3. "Maybe you should go to more queer events"
The experiences I have are even more discouraging than those straight men I know deal with. They always have some hope. I have next to none. And in regards to no3 - I find most queer events to be irrelevant to my interests/don't suit my vibe/are only for gay men/are incredibly sexless/don't cater to my butchness anyway.
When I read Stone Butch Blues I was struck by how it depicted this well of loneliness I have felt my whole life. I am very little understood by most of society, and only really feel comfortable in a relationship, yet it is so hard to even be understood there. And yeah, it's just real. I feel like cold hard numbers are against me. I wonder why this isn't talked about more and I wonder how you guys deal with it? Feel free to share any experiences, theories or advice.

2024.05.19 18:53 smashmouthkitten Need help with my Christian friends

I got saved a little over a year ago and started looking for churches immediately. We (my husband and 2 daughters) found a church that we absolutely love and have been attending ever since. My husband is not saved but likes church and thinks it’s good for our kids so he comes every Sunday and even does small groups even though he is not ready to accept Christ. Anyway, we started hanging out with this couple who seemed at first to be very devoted to their faith and are very active in the church and attend a lot of small groups, but after spending more time with them I am starting to realize that they don’t really “walk the walk”. They like to get drunk and go to bars, they use a lot of profanity, they listen to very vulgar music, and they have some questionable parenting practices that I’m not going to go into, etc. My husband loves hanging out with them because they don’t really behave any differently than his secular friends but it has kind of started to bother me and now I am questioning the friendship. I just don’t know what to do or how to navigate this because we spend a lot of time with them and I feel like their behavior sometimes even rubs off on me or makes me downplay certain sins as ok or normal in the moment even though I know they’re not. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

2024.05.19 18:53 Unknown_Assalant A trial of chrome [Cyberpunk]

Viscera Sadi. From birth she was dealt a losing hand. Her father ran not long after her inception, her mother passed at her birth, thus leaving only one place for her to belong, night city’s child care services. Every other day the broken televisions played adds for elections for this or for that, all promising to fix the system for children and more. It never came. Every day she waited for the day that she’d be adopted to a loving pair. It never came. She tried for atleast a single friend, yet they never came. When the orphanage was hit by a stray shell in the middle of a police and maelstrom chase, the room next to her and herself took the bulk of its blast. Two children lost their lives, and viscera lost her arm and a leg. But her loss was exploited by the new standing mayor nearly immediately. “This is what we do for our city’s children and inflicted” he declared on live television, while viscera sported her new fully chrome left arm and right leg. The city supplied her with meds for the pain, for around six months, after that it became painfully clear, both physically and mentally that the city didn’t care for her or anyone. But with that pain in her body came clarity, the chrome was her freind, the only one she’d ever have. After numerous outbursts, she was given a temporary Hail Mary but by someone she’d have never expected, one of the orphanage attendant’s. She was pulled aside after an outburst whitch would have ended with the death of a young boy after he refers to her as a ‘chromie’. The attendant reatched into there pocket and pulled out what looked to be an air hypo inhaler. “It’s called glitter kid, and you might need it more than I do” they had remarked. “Glitter…” she said, before taking a deep inhale. At that moment, came a sense of clarity and peace that she hadn’t known in her entire life. “None of them matter” she mumbled. “Only, I matter. Everything’s going to be ok”. Her mind swam with thoughts, each one bringing her closer and closer to the most coherent thought she had ever had. “I. I am Viscera Sadi, my chrome dosnt make me different, it makes me better!” Her young mind rose to a shrill shout. “I’m better than all of you!” Reverberated in her mind. Her clarity was driven by self infatuation and a sence of perfection in her self. So at the ripe age of fifteen, she ran from the orphanage before she’d age out in three years. She joined into the first gang that would take her and went with it all from there. The gangs were her associates, the chrome her family. It didn’t take long, black market chrome was slotted at every chance she had. The daily drugs took there toll, but eventually she didn’t use them anymore. The occasional black out wasn’t so bad. After all, it meant saving Eddie’s. The days turned to years that she slaved away behind other bosses till the day she was laying down in her make shift home. She was capable of so mutch more, she could take on everyone with the right info or chrome. “They owe me, every last one of them” her youthful self infatuation became clear. It wasn’t that she thought she was better than everyone, she simply wanted what was owed to her. She was dealt losing hand, so she would draw them again and hope she won this time. She stared out the shattered hole in the wall that once was a window. The stars in the sky, even those would be hers one day. She knew there trade, she knew there routes, she knew everything down to the smallest of details. To make the Eddie’s that that the city owed her, viscera would have to do something drastic. But with a breath of air and raised clenched fist, she swore that the would pay her back what she had lost.
Hello all! My names Vi, I’m twenty six years old and have been roleplaying for around six of those years. I mainly base my roleplays around romance, action and drama with little bits of horror here and there. I’m looking to do a cyberpunk roleplay today! Though all details after what I already Mentioned are up for change, I do have an idea as to how this could be set up. One thought I had is that Visceras first act would be to break into a police lock up for easy turn around on the items inside where she meets a police office trying to stop her and there tale continues from there. Another idea is that her abuse of some of night city’s drugs winds her up in the hospital with you being either the nurse or the person who brought viscera in. I’m happy to brain storm though! All I ask is good grammar when possible, I don’t ask for perfection as I am not always on point, but I blame it on English being my second language. If you’ve read this far, hop into my DMs! See you then!

2024.05.19 18:53 Historical-Fill5214 Why can’t I just be pretty

I’m 20(F) and I’ve begun seeing all my flaws at once rapidly I’m noticing lines on my neck and abdomen and I have had bad acne so there is scarring from that . I’ve never been pretty and my peers in school liked to tell me as much , they still do . So it’s not as though I didn’t know I was ugly . It’s just not fair that everyday I see people on the streets who are gorgous and everyone around my is so naturally pretty while I have to have Botox and plastic surgery and skincare and hair care and makeup to even just be considered okay looking . I know I won’t be pretty or gorgous like the people around me but I just wish I was. I’ve created lists of all of the things I need to get done and what parts are wrong with me and everyday I’m adding something else . Recently it’s that I have bad tech neck and dents just above my eyebrows that make me look angry . If im not asleep or working I’m looking up how to get rid of my flaws . It’s just too much

2024.05.19 18:53 BoysenberryStill1498 Is lack of self esteem that brought me (34M) to this situation with my wife(43F)?

I (34M) and my wife (43F) are together since 2008, married since 2017. 3.7 yo Daughter.
No affairs, no secrets, or other big issues.
Every single day of my life, from July 2009 to today, I spend my time trying to establish a dialogue with my wife without success.
She is always there physically but never mentally, I have difficulties to start a conversation and to keep it with her because she gets distracted all the time
I have tried hundreds of times to express how all this makes me feel, how much it hurts me, how I burned with all my heart to be in contact with her like we were in 2008 (the first year we were together were she was 100% connected with me), but I couldn't get through to her.
So, for all the years of our lives, the following has continued: - I try to establish contact with her multiple times during the day. - She doesn’t pay attention to me/responds in monosyllables/is not involved in the conversation or say few things then stops - I feel rejected because she doesn’t want to talk to me; I realize I’m not important to her, and by force of circumstance, I shut down because there is no communication or sharing (stone walling). - She notices the stone walling and does everything to get me out of it because she detests it, but not what she should do (i.e., insist on asking what’s wrong to establish that contact that wasn’t established before and then be available to talk in the future). Lately, her solution is to verbally or physically attack me to force the change in me (quote “enough with these damn sulking faces! Smile, damn it! Don’t just sit there like a moron”). - This is devastating for me because not only I can't talk to the person I love, but I’m also insulted if I bring up the problem. Then, when she wants to spend quality time on the weekend, when she's calmer and more relaxed, she's nice and peaceful, and I’m devastated and don’t want to spend any quality time with her because I’m not feeling well and resent her.
If I manage to start a conversation by chance, after a few interactions, she's already back in her head or mobile thinking about her things. Her lack of communication towards me is invariant to the things that have happened in our lives. How she handled things poorly with me in the past when I pointed out this issue: - Manipulation: “Come on now, it’s you who gets hung up on things, of course we talk, what are we doing right now?” - Insult: “These damn things again? Do you want the truth, Husband? You’re a pain in the ass.” - Ultimatums: “If you want, change yourself, I won’t change.” “I’m going to the lawyer.” - When pushed to the limit: sex and done. The only times she's mentally present are when we argue; then she's definitely there.
The only time I feel connected to her is during sex, but it’s 20 minutes every how many days? So, when we are old and can’t have sex anymore, we won’t even look at each other’s faces? With the arrival of the child, all this emerged like a frog jumping out of boiling water. Our daughter sees it, feels it, perceives these dynamics, and it makes her feel bad.
I’m sorry, but I’ve reached the end of my patience.
She is the only person with whom I can’t talk, but with whom I ardently want to talk, exchange ideas, opinions, thoughts, etc., even 24 hours a day for 30 consecutive days (like we did in 2008). This is our main problem. In addition to all this, in recent years, she have also added: - Severe insults - Constant threats - Spitting in my face - Kicking and slapping
She has no respect for me anymore, zero.
Affection has completely disappeared; I’m writing now after more than 8 days in which I haven't received a kiss, a cuddle, a caress from her (yes, I count them). Not once have she said to me: gosh Husband, you’re right, I’m deeply sorry, now for the next 2 hours I’ll leave my phone, this, that, and we’ll talk together. NO. It doesn’t even cross her mind.
Honestly the only thing I see viable here is divorce
But, one thing I was meditating upon is this: is my lack of self esteem the real cause of all of this? If only I had more self esteem and love for myself, wouldn't I be out of such situation?
Please share you POV with me
I don't even know how I could not have an affair with someone else after all of this luck of affection, attention and respect
Thanks

2024.05.19 18:53 k1re11 How the hell do I survive in this family?

I just want to rant about my family here, specifically my father, and also ask tips on how I should handle this because clearly, it's affecting me SO SO MUCH in my mental health. I feel like it's equivalent to k/ll/ng myself already.
He is just the worst of the worst, I swear. He's been abusive towards us, ESPECIALLY ME. It's not that he has a favorite one to be abusive to, but it felt like it's a battle between me and him everyday. He has done a lot of things ENOUGH to make me hate him to death. Let me give you two of the traumatizing experiences he did to me that I won't ever forget.
1) This happened during the pandemic. One time, he got mad at me for being on the computer all the time (take note, it's because I needed to do all my assignments and schoolworks, etc.) so he asked me to help him in the kitchen. So of course, while helping him, he never stopped blabbering about me not being a good daughter, about how I'm always on the computer, and even everything that has been in the past already! Obviously, I am annoyed so I showed a little annoyance at him, but still doing what he told me to. (Side note: when this man gets angry, his voice is really mad and one wrong word or move, you're dead— literally) Fast forward, he's trying to pour water in our pitcher so he gets the big water container in his hand. HOWEVER, I was cutting the onions this time and OBVIOUSLY, onions make you cry! Well, guess what? He saw me cry! Now, he thought that I was crying because of how he's scolding me! (But tbh, I was glad on the other side, because I really wanted to cry at that time. So I found a good excuse if ever he saw me cry. So yes, I was crying because of the onions and also because of him) What happened is that he got really really mad that he lost control of himself and his temper that he decided to throw the big water container then shouted at me. He kept shouting and I kept explaining that I was crying because of the onions and not because of him, but as usual, he won't listen. He kept getting mad and eventually, everything happened so fast that I already saw him coming at me and I pleaded him to stop, but then he started to strangle me. He held my neck and I was a bit high in the position, but of course, I didn't hold back. I was getting tired and angry, so I did my best to fight back— which is to slap his face and try to gouge his eyes while he's holding my neck and kick my feet as hard as I could. I was also crying shouting. After a few seconds though, he stopped, and I stormed off to our bedroom and just cried there.
2) This just happened recently. Last 2 weeks, to be precise. I won't go into details because this is longer than the other one. Basically, he got mad at all of us in the house because no one was attending to my sister's calls. She was calling someone to help open the water outside, but no one was able to do it. Quick background: my other siblings, mother, and I were in the bedroom; he, and two of our maids were in the living room. So obv, when my sister 1 shouted, three of them could clearly hear it, but no one helped. At first, he got mad at my other littler sister because he thought that sister 2 ignored sister 1 and immediately went inside the bedroom. But sister 2 did not actually hear sister 1 in the bathroom. So then, he targeted me next. He got mad at me, saying a bunch of stuff again, asking "what will you do if no one helped you in the bathroom?!?" so then i answered him TO WHAT I WILL ACTUALLY DO in that situation. But then, he got even more mad saying "why are you answering back?!?" even if he told me multiple times "you answer me right now!" I WAS LIKE WHAT THE FUCK????? YOU TOLD ME TO ANSWER YOU AND NOW THAT I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, YOU GOT MAD AT ME FOR ANSWERING YOU??? Just what in the hell is in his mind! Fast forward, he got even more mad, because of how I answered his question, to the point that he lost his temper again and punched me in my upper body. The good thing is I was able to dodge myself (thankful for my mother because she shielded me :(( ), so there was less impact. But to be honest, even up until now, it still hurts. His punch still hurts like hell. What if I wasn't able to dodge it? I might have a broken rib on the side by now... A lot more worse happened after this, but I won't tell that much.
This is just so fucking sad, and I feel like my life span is declining everyday, even if I just see him around this house. I almost kms last 2 years (or last year) because of this family. He may be a good father at times, but when he gets mad or annoyed, you need to pray for your life. I already told my mother to file a case for Violence Against Women and Children, leave him, put him to jail, etc., but she said it's hard and it can't be done that easily. I'll just have to endure this until next year, so I can go and save my siblings in the future. (I applied as an international student in Canada, so if luck comes my way, I'll be studying there and get work after, so I can get my siblings)
The bad thing is I've been enduring this for the last couple of years (ever since I was a child) and I am going crazy, I swear. All the things you didn't do in your life? Suddenly, you did it if he says so! He gets irritated if someone nags him, but he's the one who keeps yapping everything about you as if he knows everything you've done in your life. I don't know how to cope anymore, I don't know what to do anymore. I've been patient with him, but he's just too much for me to handle.
The saddest thing about this is realizing that if ever something happened to me, the first thought that will come to mind is "Oh no, he can't know about this" (thinking that I'll be even in great danger if he knew about this rather than the one I am already in). I just really feel sorry for myself sometimes. :((
This is just a few of his doings. There's still a lot more. If you guys have any tips or what, how to handle this family situation and such until I can finally get away, please help me out before I actually start unaliving myself. :(
P.S.: He keeps saying that our blood is a fighter and no one backs down, but if I fight him (talk back), he gets so mad LOOOOOOOL

2024.05.19 18:53 Original-Cry-1058 Question about businesses

Walking around Palma and I love the island. Beautiful views and amazing beaches. However, one thing i noticed, specifically in s'Arenal, is that majority of the businesses along the beach are owned by non locals, being mostly indians or chinese. So my question is are the natives of the island actually making money? I know the Big hotels are owned by mostly rich foreigners, but It even appears that the smaller businesses are being dominanted by expats. Is this true? If so, does this have a negative affect on the local community? How do the natives feel about It, i would think that this is very important for natives to make money
EDIT: I am making assumption they are not spanish bc from when i have tried to speak spanish with them, It comes out broken

2024.05.19 18:53 brains-bowls Am I the only one who just doesn’t enjoy the game anymore?

With how much they force 4 players I just don’t enjoy it anymore. Me and my friend are really the only ones who play in my friend group, and the highest we can go is like hard, and even that is a chore and not fun in the slightest. We get overrun every damn time, so many enemies at once, me and him have no shot.
I know we can play with randoms, but I don’t enjoy doing that
I know it’s technically possible to solo helldive, but I’m more of a casual player, not somebody who can solo past challenging, and maybe that’s a skill issue, but leveling is a pain in the ass for both of us, the gear available to us atm doesn’t cut it, and contributed to us getting bored fast.
I want to enjoy it as when it was fun i considered it my favourite game at the time, but it just fell off for us. We’ve just been watching the patches, kinda disappointed when nothing changes that’ll make the game worth our time. If I’d have known the game would essentially force 4 player I wouldn’t have boughten it at all.

Is it just me or does his whole personality seem like a façade?
Ok here me out guys so I tend to notice that the three parts of dottore from his personality is a bit strange….I said this in a earlier post I made some while ago about webtorre and dottore with their two facial expressions… BUT! From looking at zandik, webtorre, dottore they seem to have this thing that confuses me which is there personally! If you look at zandik he seems to be like a boy who is intelligent and cold and cares about his experiments as he wants to show and tell other people about his work and how it can shape the things yada yada etc! But after he he gets exiled for y’know and joins pierro and I think it’s the starting point but I just wonder how someone can go from one distant and intelligent to a batshit insane madman personality! It’s as if he was like Harley Quinn and jumped in some damn acid! And yet he seemed to master how to make ruin guards since we know the evidence from how he did Krupp and later as we all know him to be dottore it’s odd how a guy went from being a lone wolf to insane madman and now to a rat shitting smirking intelligent man who can surpass gods and survive 500 years of generations and he doesn’t really show emotions as so do we know from omega build! BUT THIS IS JUST A THEORY! A WEIRD FUCKING THEORY

2024.05.19 18:52 posinavrayudu Thank you Professor Fink /\

Dear Professor Fink,
Thank you very much for the generosity of your spirit in taking forward the long-desired collaboration between AI and abstract mathematics, which I'm sure would make the founders of AI very happy :)
Happy Weekend :)
Thanking you, yours truly, posina

That is an interesting article. Conjectures are indeed very important. So here is a challenge for AI. My PhD thesis Cohomology of Commutative Algebras (found at https://www.math.mcgill.ca/bar) contains explicit calculations of the shuffle idempotents in dimensions 2, 3, 4. Eventually, about 5 years later I found a construction in all dimensions. Can an AI duplicate that? Go from 2, 3, 4 to all dimensions? The shuffle idempotent in dimension is a special idempotent in the rational group of S_n, the group of permutations of n things. This would be a real test of AI.
Incidentally, e_4 contains all 24 terms of Q(S_4) and squaring it to show it is idempotent gets you 576 terms.

I am herewith forwarding your challenge for AI to the author, Professor Fink, in the hope that the AI community recognizes the significance of duplicating/replicating well-established findings (which is what I did during the first 6 months when I started patch-clamp recording from neurons).
Thanking you, yours truly, posina

Thanks for that. Interesting challenge. I did somehow figure how to get from e_2 to e_3 and from e_3 to e_4 and then generalize that.

The toy animatronics are not possessed
As we all know, many people believe, like myself, believe that the toy animatronics are possessed by what we call the dci, the second missing child incident from 1987 that happens before fnaf 2, but that’s not true whatsoever, because phone guy confirms to us that the toy animatronics have advanced technology and AI, which makes it impossible to be possessed, also phone guy confirms that the faulty broken AI is the reason behind the toys aggression, because the broken AI makes the toys see us as Andrew Tate, which makes them angry and wants to kill us, and for people saying that phone guy is lying, remember, fnaf 6 and HW confirms that fazbear entertainment is a totally reliable and completely innocent and pure heart company that always thinks in their employees self being and their customers, so everything phone guy says is 100%, just like the fnaf 1 animatronics are not possessed, they just see you as a naked endoskeleton, bravo Scott for being so smart and consistent with the story of the franchise and teaching children into believing in the super honest fast food companys, as show by how Freddy’s owner, William afton, is a honest businessman, good father who treats his children the best, definitely wouldn’t murder a fly 🥰❤️

2024.05.19 18:52 Vitu1927 What's the most absurd gimmick for a wrestler that you ever came up with?

Sometimes, i think about the idea of a wrestler who ramdonly discovered an absurdely strong move, adopted it as a finisher and it's the literal only move he tries to use. Like, he passes the whole match trying to hit it and does not try anything else.
You could justify this behaviour in kayfabe by building a storyline about his moves being very weak and having almost no effect in the receiver. By this logic, it would make sense for him to only go for the very strong move he discovered.
So, in the end, his average match would follow a structure of him trying to use the finisher in various ways and failing time after time. He should sell his ass off and try to be the most interesting possible in the receiving end of moves, because that's what most of the match will be looking like. Interesting shenanigans, crazy counters, and, of course, being a very good seller.
Since it's a sleazy one punch man who is getting his ass whooped 95% of the time, he can:
Work in almost any type of match (squashes, the ones with a conventional structure, gimmicky ones, etc)
Win against anyone on the roster without them being buried since his finisher is a nuke
Lose against anyone on the roster in the baron corbin way (A.K.A couldn't pull end of days off and lost because of that)
Be a babyface or a heel with very easy transictioning (note: he probably would end up in lesnar territory, when that ain't very clear)
Be slapped in a feud with literally anyone because both parties are legit
Win any title/solve eventual booking problems (you may face problems titles devaluing, tho)
Be the absolute PERFECT transictional champion
Rise or fall in the card at any moment for any reason (it's having trouble to pull his move, or is being lucky/motivated recently)
Storyline-wise, he could be handled in multiple ways. If thinking in longevity, he could be kinda of an "entity", whose finisher never gets kicked out of and his matches could be very unpredictable since you don't know if they would pull the trigger, or very predictable (like, wrestler X needs to heal off an injury and drop a belt. If he pulls up, you know very well what's about to happen)
If he does not exist as an separate entity who plays by different rules, you could go with a basic story of someone eventually kicking out of his finisher, with the moment being proportional to how much the finisher was built. After that, the fact that it's been kicked out before can add a layer of drama to his matches, but you could also go with an story of him using more moves and retiring his old finisher, or using it as his "super finisher" (like the ones in WWE 2k24).
Either way, this character is, essentialy, the perfect duct-tape solution to various booking problems/decisions. He could also have an supernatural gimmick along too (who pulls up only for certain reasons, etc).
I just don't know how that finisher should be. A striking one would capitalize on the "nuke" factor but could also be harder to justify in kayfabe than a submission lock
Note: i think a character like that would play very interestingly in WWE games. Something that can only take a beating and has to be beaten very fast so it doesn't charge his finisher, or that you have to try your best to survive until you can use it (that said, it would be unbalanced and bullshit asf)
