Pre hacked games aloud in school

Just another after 10 pm thought. I really just want to get this off my chest. What if tinuloy ko mag-law school? (WARNING: Long read)
Almost 1 year na since my graduation. Most of my blockmates from college are done with their final exams in law school. I wish them nothing, but success and happiness. Hopefully, they'll all be regular 2nd year law students next school year.
Ngunit minsan may mga gabi kung saan ako'y napapa-isip; what if nag-law school din ako? Makakaya ko rin kaya? Masaya rin kaya ako sa desisyon ko kapag? Kay raming pumapasok na paano kung tuwing pagsapit ng gabi. Kadalasan, hinahayaan at i-tinutulog ko nalang. Minsan, katulad ng gabing ito, ay para kinakain ako ng aking mga naiisip na para bang 'di na ako makahinga kung saan ayaw manlang manahimik ng aking utak sa pag-iisip ng mga paano kung 'di ko magawa-gawa.
For some context of why and how I feel like shit rn. Here's a very short summary of my past: Ganado pa ako sa buhay noong 1st year college e. Determinado akong mag-law school kayat dali-dali akong nag-enroll aking pre-law course. Nakakainis din ang mga Pinoy e no? Once nalaman nilang pre-law course mo e automatic na ang tawag sa'yo e "atty". Same rin kapag engineering ka. Tawag ba naman sa'yo "engr". Masarap pakinggan lalo na't karamihan ay nanggagaling sa mga tao tunay nga naman na nagbibigay suporta at nagmamahal sa'yo. Ako naman 'tong lumaki ang ulo na parang feeling abogado pero sa huli ay 'di rin lang pala nag-tuloy. Huli ko lang namalayan na may added pressure rin pala ang mga ganon.
Then the pandemic happened. I lost all hope. Truth be told, if 'di nangyari 'yung pandemic baka nag-shift ako. Dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na bagsako ako sa 3 majors subjects ko noong 1st year 2nd sem. But I got saved by the bell. Instead of failed, dropped o INC, PASSED ang nakasulat sa grading report ko. Hanggang nagtuloy-tuloy na. From 2nd year, nag-3rd year to 4th year GRADUATING student real quick.
All kinds of shit went down noong nag-4th year na ako. I've already lost hope noong pandemic. Noong 4th year na ako?, I just didn't give a damn anymore. Bagsako kung bagsako, pasado kung pasado- bathala na. And then, boom! Pasado ('wag niyo na po akong tanongin on how I managed to pass. 'di ko rin po alam).
I got a job after graduation. Made some money, paid the bills, helped around the house and got to buy the shit I wanted at the time. But the most important thing that job gave me was clarity and realization. "I'm not built for law school", kako sa sarili ko. I finally accepted it and moved on. I resigned after 5 months. Kumuha ng educ units sa may local university namin 'cause I got bored and I wanted to feel in college again ( I know, it's stupid and immature. Don't you think I already know that?). Took the CSE and passed. Kakatapos lang ng semester, and decided i'm not gonna pursue that LPT.
Now, I'm a certified tambay. Nilalakad ko palang ang mga papers ko for employment so at least I'm not going to be a certified tambay in the nearer future.
And now, here I am. In bed, reminiscing and thinking about my what ifs in life. What if nag-law school din ako?
Masaya siguro na mahirap. Mostly mahirap, but worth it naman sa huli. Alam ko naman sa sarili ko na 'di ko kaya 'yung sakripisyo at dedication compared to other law students out there. I've been reading less and less, mostly because whenever I do my brain multiplies in being annoying and not shutting up of its thoughts. Rather than reading, improving my mind, I've been playing too much video games. Too much basketball, too much of this too much of that. Way too much distractions. Eventually, mawawala ako sa focus if I did decide to go to law school.
"Bakit mo sinasabi agad na 'di mo kaya kung 'di mo pa naman sinsubukan?" Y'all have a point there, but kilala ko sarili ko e. I know I cant give up playing video games and playing sports. Hanging out with friends doing God knows what in the middle of the night. Ayaw ko rin sinasakripisyo ang tulog para lang mag-aral. Tamad ko nga raw mag-aral e sabi ng mga high school prof ko (pakyu sila may degree na ako). Overall, I'm lazy. I get distracted too easily. I give up too early, and try to do less most of the time. I'm impatient. I'm incapable of adapting learning strategies and style benefiting a law student. I have all of these negative capabilities. Obviously, 'di talaga nababagay. Pero what if? Wala naman sigurong mawawala saakin kung mag-what if lang ako. Eventually, I'll stop siguro. Soon, magiging okay rin ako. But for now, what if?
What if tinuloy ko mag-law school?

Hey guys! I've been playing D&D for quite a while, but I haven't really DM'ed too much in the last 10 years or so. How do you guys approach building a homebrew world?
I've got an overarching plot/lore already; who is causing the calamity, why, how, and where. I've got my world map and major cities, and I have the first few questlines planned out. I plan to railroad for the first few sessions because nearly everyone is brand new to even the concept of D&D, and afterwards I will open the world up entirely.
I have quests and locations I want to do things with. I started by planning out different directions and associated quests, but I know that's a bad idea given how games never progress like the DM expects.
My thoughts are to plan the railroad quests, and pre-create dungeons/quests for all the major points. I am thinking of creating quite a few other quests and just throw them in the players' ways, while adjusting the content (like treasure, monsters, lore findings, etc) to accommodate their levels, sort of in a modular approach.
Obviously I will pivot when needed and create things fresh if the players do something unexpected, and will adjust the direction of the plot/events based on their decisions. I'm just curious as to how everyone else approached world creation.

Alright, so short story summary. Need depresso and wanted to KMS waiver (no hospitalization, only ideation no plan) LONGER SUMMARY AT BOTTOM. TYPED ON PHONE, APOLOGIES FOR LACK OF CONCISENESS.
Law student with MH history. I have realized I HATE LAW and want to start fresh. I always wanted to do medical stuff, but unfortunately. My family pushed me to law because of their own legal issues. I have thrived academically alwayso; I have put up with the bs of law school and excelled past my classmates out of sheer grit, but I'm fed up with having a lack of purpose.
I don't want to be a JAG and I want to enlist, not be an officer ($ doesn't matter, my ego isn't going to be hurt by being told what to do. I have more respect for people who didn't follow my career path than the entire legal industry).
I took antidepressants for 5-6 months (Lexapro) in (March - July) 2022 at age 22/23. Diagnosed with MDD-recurrent, unspecified anxiety nurse practitioner notes mentions SI-no plan (and I mentioned I've felt this way for years) - This diagnosis stems from family pressures and being forced to study for the LSAT for hours each day for an entire year. I literally tortured myself for a career I hate (I'm stupid)
I had a poor childhood and my parents forced their legal problems (my dad was accused of SAing someone, and parents thought it would be good to force me to learn about their issues fully - not fun).
The notes from Lexapro visit reference a depression screening I had when I was 19 or 20 where I screened positive for mild depression (checked yes to the, "Have you ever felt like you would be better off not alive). This screening was from around the time that my dad was finally being incarcerated after years of having to deal with his legal shit and their business problems.
I have a clearance that I stopped taking medication in July 2022, and 2 psych evals clearing me of current depression and anxiety.
It will be two years no meds this July.
I don't want to hear about 'military will make it worse' I have been through so many fuck fuck games for a career I never wanted. Attending little ROTC events and getting yelled at was the most enjoyment I've had in like 10 years. I'll be good. Just help me get IN as an enlisted. Stress has NEVER affected my ability to perform. Law school is hard enough when you want to be there, I killed it, hating every single moment I had to walk through those doors. Help me out 🙏
What are my chances of getting a waiver for Navy and/or Army or hell even Army National Guard. (I know AF has some medical stuff too, but I think my chances are shit with them because of BH)
Summary: 1 actual MDD depression diagnosis (2y 3mo), 1 depression screening for mild depression (3+ years), two instances of SI-no plan (newest 2y 3mo, oldest 3+ years). No inpatient, no attempt or SH. Almost 2 years of no medication in July. Solid work/career evidence even from period where I was depressed. 2 evals, one from a psych NP one from a psychologist. Statement from NP I stopped taking meds in July 2022. I am 25 and physically fit.

Interview with Alexandra, screenwriter of the story “The Secret of Heaven - Requiem.”
Friends, we welcome you to our modest interview with the beautiful Alexandra, take some goodies, pour some drinks and enjoy your reading!
Hello, first of all I want to congratulate you on the successful start of your story! Our interview is also exciting in the second update, filled with plot twists. How does it feel?)

• Hello! Thanks a lot! I have a lot of experiences) both pleasant and exciting. And there are still many things and moments that I want to think through better. Therefore, my whole life now consists of thoughts about the next episodes. Sometimes I get distracted and realize that several days have already passed, which for me have merged into one. Because of this, it seems that everything that is happening is some kind of derealization.

Let's start with the questions that we dedicated to you; we and the players are interested in learning more about you! Please tell us how you started working at the Romance Club?

• I responded to the vacancy and was selected. This is not the first time I auditioned for the Kyrgyz Republic)

Many screenwriters have rituals before starting work. Do you have anything similar, in general, how do you get ready for work?

• Ideally, it would be great to remain in silence and solitude, light an incense stick, dim the lights and play music suitable for the moment that needs to be described. But I never wrote Requiem like that) In reality, you have to work in less rosy conditions, and the main ritual is to open your eyes in the morning.

Can you share a photo of your desk/where you work?

• I already posted a photo of a laptop and a sofa in Tg: I have to constantly walk back and forth and look for a place where it will be calmest.

Do you play yourself and what are your favorite stories and favorites in them?

• I'm interested in watching what happens in all the stories, but I don't play much of anything. I prefer to watch discussions, read reviews, see what impressed the players, which of the favorites I like best and why. I want to be aware of everything, so I go through the update highlights.

What do you like to do in your free time? Maybe you have some hobbies?

• In short, I draw and come up with stories. Now my whole head is filled with Requiem, my hobby at the moment is to think about how and what would be better to do in it.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

• From games, music, books, films, comics. If the author has put a message into his work or has worked hard on the atmosphere, then this will always find a response inside, and will give rise to his own thoughts, making him start reasoning. My work often begins with a question. For example, what if a stalker gets his own stalker? And so on. A thought, a feeling, an interest appears - it could be some kind of fleeting feeling in which you want to stay, linger, which you want to develop.

What kind of music do you like to listen to?

• There is no specific style or genre, I like individual tracks. I divide playlists by year; this option is very convenient for me. They mix openings from anime, lyrics to films, tracks from musicals and operas, classics, popular songs from TikTok and God knows where else songs taken from.

Do you have any pets?

• Yes, my crazy favorite cat.

What is your favorite movie/anime genre? What can you recommend to watch?

• It’s the same as with music: I like very different things in different genres. From “Monster” to “Ouran High School Dating Club” if we talk about anime and from “Bratz” (and I’m talking about the film right now) to the conditional “Lobster”. Like the black and pink house meme. If I recommend something from films, then probably “Helter Skelter”, from anime – “Let’s Play!”, from animation – “Moonbeam City”.

The Romance Club team is scattered all over the globe, are you used to different time zones? Or do you have certain working hours that are mandatory for everyone?

• I don’t have a time difference with the guys who work from the office, so I don’t have any problems.

As a content consumer, how do you feel about glass storylines?

• Great. But, if I’m already in a sad mood, I’ll prefer not to finish myself off and choose something easier.

Do you love winter yourself?

• Yes very. Summer is harder for me to cope with... But I love and romanticize all seasons, it makes life easier and more interesting for me.

We slowly move into questions about the story itself and its development :) How long did it take to develop the story?

• If you count from zero to the release itself, then a little more than four months.

Were you involved in the development of Requiem from the very beginning, or were there any other options in the pitches?

• There were no other options.

Which existing characters do you find the most difficult and easiest to write?

• Problems happen to everyone. At some moments I know exactly what the character should say and how, and sometimes everything gets out of control and leads to something strange. If I managed to relax and accumulate some kind of resource within myself, then the characters speak easily and simply. If the days have been hard and I’m empty inside, God save me and help me.

Did the fact that this universe already existed help in the development? Or, on the contrary, was it difficult to comply with the already written “laws”?

• It's 50/50 here. On the one hand, it’s convenient that you already have the basics, on the other hand, you’re afraid of missing out or forgetting something. It’s scary to invade someone else’s world and behave like a barbarian there. But thanks to the fact that Alice is always ready to help and explain everything, I feel more confident.

Which character is most similar to you in character?

• Brat. My daily states fit the meaning of this word well.

To get a more detailed picture, in what period of the CH2 timeline do the CH2 events take place? Or, is this all after the final of CH2?

• The events of SNR take place after the finale of SNR2.

Dmitry and Anna are from Russia?

• We'll learn more about the characters' backgrounds in the story, so I'll keep it quiet for now.

How long ago did eternal winter begin in Rotkov? Judging by the text, there is no longer a warm season there.

• Rotkow has always been a cold and alienated place, but after the events of CH2, cataclysms came to earth that changed the climate. These changes will play a role in the plot and very soon.

Why did Rotkov become the last outpost? After all, there is a place where Dmitry’s detachment came from.

• Rotkov is the northernmost city in Siberia. There are other surviving cities to the south of it, but if you go north from it, you will no longer find settlements. The detachment dubbed the city an outpost, meaning its significance as an advanced point, a kind of fortified place.

Could someone from the SN cast be flying somewhere far away? Can we meet them? In theory, Malbonte, for example. Would you like this?

• If someone just flew by in the background, it would be a wonderful meme!

Are those immortals we have already seen former Unrecognized or not? Perhaps history introduces us to something new regarding the appearance of angels and demons?

• The story of Anhea and Pileon will also be told as the novel progresses.

How long have both churches existed in the city of Rotkow and, in general, how old is the city itself in its current state?

• This will also be mentioned later in the story.

People cooperate with immortals and both sides are not happy about it. But according to the laws of the SN universe, immortals had to protect people. Why aren't they happy now? Because of the need for direct contact, or has something changed?

• After the events of CH2, the immortals lost their home and peace. In such conditions, many of them no longer cared about people’s problems.

If Lane was able to survive and was not noticed at the funeral of the Siberia team, is there a possibility that any of her other colleagues remained alive? Besides her boss.

• There was no funeral for the team: no one went into the rift, infested with abominations, to pull out the bodies of the dead. A memorial was simply erected in the city with the names of those who served in “Siberia”, following the surviving papers.

Lane has a scar on the back of her hand, but the girl in the cinematic was bleeding from another cut, as if this was done to show the presence of a scar?

• This is a spoiler.

“The Book of the Apocalypse” is written in the language of darkness? We wanted to ask exactly this question, but this update gives completely different information. Was this book written by different “people”? Somewhere there is Latin, and somewhere there is something that even Cain cannot see.

• Alas, this is also a spoiler.

Is that distorted corridor Lane's subconscious?

• Yes that's right.

How long did the Sibir team work until its death? How many people were in the team?

• The Siberia base operated for decades. It was a large military-scientific complex, in which quite a lot of specialists worked, not counting the service personnel.

Why is it so important for Dmitry to get Lane emotional?

• This is not some kind of task or goal, but something that happens rather spontaneously. It is important for Dmitry to know what Lane is like: her boundaries, her ability to lie, her deepest motives. He will check her, but it should be noted that some of the girl’s reactions amuse the general.

Have all the lovelines been represented at this point in the story?

• Spoiler.

Cain is so knowledgeable about sensual rituals, did he take part?)

• He didn’t take part, but he is really familiar with this kind of stuff))))

The reference for the estates, especially regarding the estate in Rotkov itself, was the Catherine Palace?

• He was one of the references. The Great Catherine Palace is an imperial palace, the official summer residence of three Russian rulers: Catherine I, Elizaveta Petrovna, Catherine II.

On this note, our interview comes to an end, we express our deep gratitude to Alexandra for her time and patience. And to you, our dear readers, thank you for supporting us! We would like to once again congratulate everyone on the beginning of summer, may these warm days bring you joy. And “The Secret of Heaven - Requiem” will cool us with its icy charm :)

I wish DBD mobile allows to play in North America region like Among Us does. The Asian servers are plagued with so many hacking cheaters, it makes the game unbearable and basically unplayable.

Facets aside, It was a bit disappointing to see little reworks done to items this patch. We got an interesting cast speed addition to Yasha and Kaya, so now theres some fun builds you can do with Shadow Fiend mainly. But Revenant’s Brooch remains THE least picked up relatively expensive item in Immortal games, as it was pre-patch.
I found a build with this item on Huskar and found it interesting enough to try. The premise is that the 50 mana cost on attacks gets converted into 33 HP per attack, which has tons of synergy with Huskars kit. The item is less than 5000 gold and grants a lot of damage and a huge 20% spell lifesteal, which heals mainly from burning spears and life break and also Huskars attacks when Brooch is toggled on. The lifesteal is further amplified by Heavens Halberd and later Sange and Yasha.
BUT… you can’t really get Revenant’s Brooch and Satanic in the same build, because Satanic does not heal from magic attacks. Both kind of act the same, giving damage and lifesteal, with satanic offering more HP and a dispel for more cost. Frankly, I think Revenant’s Brooch is very situational at best, but I think it’s quite interesting to think of the potential if some numbers were hypothetically tuned up or down. Obviously, it would be ideal to make this item more viable throughout the rest of the cast and not become a “Huskar” item, similar to Helm of the Overlord being a “Lycan or Beastmaster” item (Actually, not even those two buy it much anymore anyway).
Just… no more Mars 4000 damage God Rebukes.

"I...I forged the documents," Jaune blurted out, closing his eyes. He knew what revealing this could cause but his conscience couldn't bear the weight of this act anymore.
Pyrrha's expression changed from concerned to terrified, the red-haired girl blinked in surprise, wondering if she heard him correctly - "Sorry, I must have heard it wrong. Could you repeat?" -Nikos said in a shaky voice, unable to believe her ears.
Jaune sighed and then straightened up in front of his teammate - "You heard right, I forged paper. I'm an impostor who shouldn't be at this school." - as he said this, he looked her straight in to her eyes.
Pyrrha was speechless, she didn't know how to express the feelings that were bubbling inside her. Seeing her hesitation, Arc looked down ashamed. They stood there in silence for a few moments, when finally Nikos decided to break it - "Jaune... How could you do something so stupid?" - she said in an cold tone.
Jaune shuddered- "I... I always wanted to be a Hunter."-he replied, wanting to sink into the ground, realizing that this in no way justified his actions.
"Being a hunter is not game! And you decided to get into this school without needed skill!"-Mistralian Champion screamed at the pseudo-knight, shaking with justified anger.
Pyrrha held her head, she couldn't believe what an idiot her leader turned out to be. Nikos exhaled loudly through her nose and then took a deep breath, trying to control her anger. She opened her eyes and looked at shaking Arc.
"Even though I'm still furious, thank you for revealing it to me."-Nikos said in a still icy tone, Jaune hung his head in shame.
"I am sorry Pyrr, in movies it all looked....easier. I thought I could easily keep up with others, but as we both saw. I'm worthless compared even to a 15-year-old girl."-Knight said in a weak voice, burning with shame. If only his parents could see him now!
"For fucks sake! Stop whinning already, crying over spilled Milk won't change anything."-Nikos bursted out with anger once again-"Instead of solving the problem, you are still waiting for a miracle."
Pyrrha pointed a finger at him in an accusatory gesture.-"Arc, from now on, you're going to start training. I'll help you, but don't count on mercy. If you want to be in this school, you have to work for it."
Jaune straightened up and replied with optimism- "Of course!" - Pyrrha raised her eye brow -"I hope so."-she said with tired expresion.
"I won't let you down."-Arc replied with smile, this didn't made Pyr happy. Without second of hesitation, she slapped him. Young man grabbed his red cheek - "And what is that for?"-he asked, suprised.
"Don't make your situation worse."-The red-haired champion said annoyed-"You're not doing it for me, you're doing it for yourself. Starting tomorrow you're going to take lessons and training seriously, because if you won't. Getting kicked out of school will be the least of your problems"-Pyrrha hissed at him, making blonde sweat.
"Of course!" - The knight shouted in a frightened voice and straightening up again, Nikos rolled her eyes-"Now go to the room, go get some sleep. Tommorow, i need you to be at your best."
Arc nodded eagerly before turning towards door. When he entered staircase, Jaune realized that Champion didn't come with him, he turned himself to face her again-"You aren't coming with me?"
Red headed beauty herself was looking at city-"I will come later, i have to sort out the whole situation in my head."-she said without looking back at him-"Alright, i will hit the shower."-Knight said before closing door behind himself.
As the door closed behind Arc, Pyrrha let out a breath and said aloud to herself-"What a complete moron, how could he come up with that idea."-She held her head.
"I agree, Jauney is a complete idiot, but I have no idea why you decided to help him."- a familiar voice replied from downstairs.
Nikos jumped starled away from the balustrade, Winchester pulled himself up and a moment later was standing in front of the Mistral representative.
The red-haired warrior looked at him, Cardin was standing in only his underwear and wet hair. Pyrrha cursed in her thoughts as she realized that Winchester had overheard them due to a stupid coincidence, realizing incoming troubles.
"What did you hear?"-Nikos hissed at him, the young man ignored her hostility and walked up to her-"Thanks to a lucky coincidence, I heard everything," he replied with a smile.
Nikos's blood went cold- "Oh Fuck." - she cursed in her mind. Seeing her shock mixed with a small amount of fear, Cardin smiled - "At first I thought Jauney-boy would decide to confess his love to you, but when he blurted out it turned out to be much more interesting."
"What do you want for silence?" - Mistralian beauty asked, pushing him away from her - "Because if you think you're going to score..." -before she could finish threat, Cardin interrupted her.
"Stop, stop. Where did you get that idea?"- Winchester raised an eyebrow -"I was thinking about something completely different. I don't even have a way to blackmail you, because it wasn't you who forged the documents after all."
"Right."-Pyrrha wanted to punch herself in the face, why did you think he would want to blackmail her?-"So what did you wanted to say?"-she asked the almost naked student.
Cardin clapped his hands - "I had a little bet in mind." - he leaned towards the champion - "We're going on a school trip next week to collect some Sap, right?"
"Yes, we do."-Pyrrha replied after a moment of thought, Goodwitch had mentioned something about Forever fall forest-"What are you getting at?"
"Simple, on this trip I'll throw our dear blond boy to some bigger grimm."- Winchester smiled - "If he won't be able defeat it, he'll be expelled from school. If he survives, of course." - the paladin laughed.
"What if he would defeat it?" Nikos asked crossing her arms, not not sharing Cardin's joy. Jock stopped laughing and scratched his chin - "I'll definitely forget about our entire conversation. As a bonus, I'll take you on a date." - Cardin replied generously.
"Date? So you were expecting sex!"-Pyrrha shouted at the young man, then pointed an accusatory finger at him. The paladin raised an eyebrow - "You're the one who thought about sex on the first date. Did my hungry friend thought about bread?"- Winchester joked, then flexed his muscles -"Not that I blame you. I look delicious."
The Mistralian beauty face color matched her hair's- "That's not what i meant!"-she replied defensively-"Besides, why would I agree to those terms?"
Cardin shrugged - "You don't have to, nt like you will lose anything if Arc gets kicked out of school." - he said and then turned to go down to his room.
"Shit."-Champion hissed in her mind, remembering about Jaune, after all, he wasn't that bad. Nikos exhaled through her nose-"I'll go on that date with you, but don't count on anything more." -she called after Cardin-"One date at his expense won't kill me."-she said to herself in her thoughts.
"Fantastic, I'm glad we reached an agreement."-Winchester replied, turning around immediately with a smile from ear to ear. He walked up to his classmate and shook her hand. Pyrrha raised an eyebrow- And why do you really want to take me on a date?"-she asked
Smile fell from Cardin's face-"My father wanted me to show up in front of the paparazzi with a girl from another country to pretend that my family doesn't think that foreigners are animals."-he replied without hesitation.
Pyrrha nodded in understanding, she had to pretend more than once that she tolerated someone in front of the cameras. After sealing the deal, they went to their rooms.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Pyrrha and Cardin, Jaune was able to defeat Ursa Major single-handedly and remain in Beacon. A short time later on her date with Winchester, Pyrrha quickly changed her mind about sleeping with him. Even the lack of feeling in her legs after intercourse did not change her new opinion.

Silly post, but I'm proud of finishing both DS1 and DS2 in the space of four months. It's honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've had. The final chapters of DS2 were kind of diabolical, especially the last one where the waves of necromorphs just keep coming before you get to the boss. So enjoyable and nerve wrecking at the same time. Don't even know what I'll play after this. Had gotten used to loading up the game after a long day at school or over the weekends. Any recommendations along the lines of survival horror?

I had the opportunity to work with one of our university's sports teams this year. I loved it all: the practices, home games, road trips, free merchandise, and most of all, the people I worked with. I understood that it was likely going to be a one-year commitment due to graduation, but I got invested in what I was doing with the program. I never missed a practice, game, or road trip and even took the time out of my day to break down film for them. When our season ended a few weeks ago, I was devastated. I've gotten over those emotions, but it still hurts knowing my first year with the program could very well be my last. That program gave me a lot of stability and happiness in a time of uncertainty and difficulty.
Even though I anticipated it to be a one-year commitment, I do have the option to return to this role again. Unfortunately, I'd have to attend graduate school to make it happen. I've been searching for funding for awhile now, but unfortunately, I've found nothing, so returning in this role is unlikely. If I wasn't going to grad school this year, I was always planning to take a "gap year" and do it next year as I need to save money for a car + covering grad school loans, so a return in a volunteer role with the program isn't out of the question. Most of my peers have went straight from undergrad to grad school, so it's not a bad idea in my opinion. I was thinking about coming back to assist them with their practices + breaking down as I know the coaches and players appreciated it (and a return would allow me to go even deeper with what I did with analytics + more film!). If I were to take a "gap year" and volunteer with the team in my free time, I just worry that some of them would find it weird (again though, knowing that some of them appreciate the work I did, maybe they'd appreciate it).
With the position I'm in (grad school this year, or a gap year then grad school next year), would it be worth returning in a volunteer role if I cannot attend grad school full-time this Fall? I'd be able to continue building my resume for next year's GA positions (if I fail to land one this year), job opportunities in the area (limited without a car), apply what I've learned throughout the offseason (I want to learn about certain analytical applications), and avoid taking that gap year employers dislike. Unlike my role with the team this year, I likely wouldn't be with them for any home/road games - that's the biggest difference as I'd still be doing film and attending practices + games (as a fan). I'd be satisfied with that because the stability, routine, and people from this role brought me a great amount of happiness. I loved it. Of course, it wouldn't be my call as to whether or not I'd end up in that role, but I do know that they'd love to have me back.

Demetrios, the newly-appeared Martyr of Christ was born in Philadelphia of Asia Minor and was a member of one of the city’s most illustrious families, being the son of Doukas the priest. Upon his father’s death, his mother undertook to rear him in the instruction and admonitions of the Lord until his eighteenth year. Since the youth was modest by nature, handsome in appearance and gifted, certain Hagarenes took undue notice of his comeliness and, motivated by malice, seized him. Now either through trickery or promises of gifts and honor, or perhaps by threats of torture, they persuaded the immature Demetrios to renounce Christ. Wherefore, he was turned over to the service of a leading Hagarene of Philadelphia. He attained considerable favor with this Muslim, so much so, that within a few years he acquired esteem, honor, and wealth, including livestock and property. Furthermore, since he was courageous physically, he was elected Commander-in-Chief of the city’s militia. By virtue of these achievements, he also became engaged to one of the foremost Muslim maidens of Philadelphian society.
By God’s grace, when Demetrios reached the age of 25 the Lord beckoned him. The godly Demetrios began to recall his former piety and faith. He perceived the Muslims’ deceptive religion to which he had succumbed. He sighed from the depths of his heart and cried within himself:
“O the ignorance of me, the pitiful one! Woe to my misfortune, accursed Demetrios! How many years have I spent in this darkness? How was I beguiled and denied my Lord? Nevertheless, I will again confess Him before men, because I know a similar predicament befell many martyrs of old, whom I will have to help me make my confession of faith.”
With this firm resolve and armed by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, he hastened to the contest of martyrdom.
“Hearken, lords and princes of this city: It is twelve years since I have been blinded and not able to see the light of my Orthodox faith. Now, however, my mind has been enlightened by the Holy Spirit and instructed by Christ, the King of All, my true God, Who delivered Himself up to death for our love, and I learned that the Muslim religion is false and can do nothing for the soul’s salvation. For this reason I deny and detest it, and I confess and worship Christ as true God, making me a Christian as before with the name of Demetrios. By this name and for the love of my Christ, I am prepared to be sacrificed and die. Therefore do not tarry, but cut my body to pieces. I reverence Christ, my Savior; as for your prophet, I abhor and hold him in contempt.”
The holy Martyr then kept his peace. Following these searing utterances the Hagarenes set upon him, and with brutal force pushed and dashed him to the earth, furiously administering 315 strokes with rods. The Martyr joyously lifted his voice and intoned:
“Glory to You our God, glory to You. Help me, Saint Demetrios and Saint George. Come quickly, Saint of God, Nicholas!”
After this punishment, they threw the Martyr into prison since, perchance, Demetrios would recant. That same evening the Hagarenes summoned their teachers and a certain Arabian magician and sent them to the prison to try to persuade or dupe him by various ruses or black magic to forsake his piety. But they all travailed in vain. In the morning the governor released him from prison and dismissed the case. But the Martyr, seeing that he was thus deprived of the crown of martyrdom for which he earnestly yearned, went to a cafe where a large crowd of Hagarenes were gathered. In a loud voice he commenced to reprove them:
“O miserable Hagarenes, what do you believe? That your faith is correct and the truth? Thrice-wretched ones, you are mistaken and deceived! How blind you are and do not see the light of truth! I, however, believe in Christ, the true God, Who took upon himself all the sins of the world; Him alone do I worship.”
The Saint ended his protest by removing the white fez from his head and his green tunic, and dashing them to the earth. As he trampled upon these items, he remarked:
“Just as I step on these objects which are a sign of your religion I trod upon your faith and laws, renouncing and loathing them.”
Straightway, the Hagarenes pounced upon him as lions gnashing their teeth. Some rushed with clubs and others with stones. Striking the holy Martyr, they cast him to the ground as dead. At that point many believed him to have expired. But the holy Martyr was strengthened by our Lord Jesus Christ and even though he was sprawled out half-dead, he prayed noetically. Whereupon, when he overheard the Muslims, who presumed him dead, planning to burn him in the fire, he left off his prayer and in an instant was on his feet, making them the following offer:
“I have money to give you so you may purchase wood to burn me. So do not think that I died, for as is evident, my Christ has endued me with strength.”
They could not endure to behold the Martyr risen and speaking. They stabbed him three times in such away that the knife penetrated from the back through his chest. Notwithstanding, the Martyr of Christ did not surrender his spirit, but was kept alive by Divine power.
As they conducted Demetrios to the site where they would commit him to the flames, one of those present smote the Martyr in the head with his knife, cleaving his face into two. O the strange wonder and superhuman courage of the Martyr! He held the divided parts of his skull with his hands, and raising his eyes to heaven invoked the assistance of Saint Demetrios, and fused the two halves of his head perfectly. When the thrice-accursed ones beheld the miracle, they wounded him a second time in another section of the head creating a new fissure. Once again, the Martyr healed the disjoined halves as before. The restoration to his original state left no trace of blood, nor the appearance of a scar from the mortal injuries. Nevertheless the savages, instead of becoming tamed at witnessing such an unparalleled phenomenon, pushed and kicked the Saint in the direction where they intended to reduce him to ashes. While en route, the Martyr beheld a Christian church. He knelt and with utter humility and reverence cried aloud with tears streaming down his face:
“My Lord Jesus Christ, today I am coming to You in order to become Your sacrifice, and I surrender my spirit into Your hands.”
The executioners could not tolerate the sight of him so they struck the Martyr with a rapier, severing the calves of his legs. This time, Christ’s athlete finished his course and attained the crown of martyrdom on the 2nd of June in the year 1657.
Quickly the Hagarenes collected wood and coal from a bathhouse and set fire to it, and into the conflagration they heaved the Martyr’s body. Lo the wonder! The fire divided into two and did not threaten the Martyr in the least but left him intact and whole. Yet even beholding this marvel their stubbornness increased, and they took five earthen jugs of oil and poured them over the flames. Yet neither by this attempt nor any other contrivance, would the flames be goaded to come in contact with the Martyr. Finally they were at a loss at how to accomplish their heinous deed. In desperation they poked at the wood in the fire, and with the iron implements and accessories of the bath, they hacked the struggler’s relics into pieces. After his death the sacred relics performed, and continue to work, many miracles for those who approach them with faith. By his intercessions may we too be made worthy of the Kingdom of the Heavens. Amen.

idk why magahack stopped working in gd. I've already tried deleting the antivirus, I reinstalled both gd and the hack intaller. If I go to the gd folder i can se the hack but when i enter in the game it doesnt show up.
Yesterday everything was fine and i didnt do nothing
Anyone knows how to solve this?

Firstly, I hope I'm allowed to post this question here and that it isn't taken the wrong way lol
Secondly, context; I'm writing an assignment in school about Minecraft and the freedom it provides players in building whatever they'd want to, even things not intended possible by the devs.
Now to not yap extensively, I'm forced to include certain things in this assignment, one of which being a discussion part where I must have sources arguing "both perspectives" of my topic, in this case the upsides and downsides of the creative freedom that Minecraft allows.
Thing is, atleast from what I can tell, there are NO sources arguing any sort of downsides about this part of Minecraft specifically. There are the typical ones arguing "video games cause violence" or "Minecraft causes detachments to reality as players become too hooked" and the sorts - but none that are specifically about creative freedom.
The assignment is long, and due tomorrow, giving me no time to start over with a better topic. So here I am at the bottom of the barrel, hoping to find even a sardine in this desert I've landed myself in. Any help is appreciated, although none is expected, I'm just growing desperate here lol
(Ps. I may just be able to change enough to use a source that's just about creative freedom in virtual worlds, instead of specifically Minecraft, although specifically Minecraft would be ideal)
TL:DR; I've got an assignment due for tomorrow, and with no time to start over with another topic, I need to find a source that talks about the downsides of creative freedom in Minecraft. Hoping for help, but not expecting any, cheers either way.
And sry for any bad english, it's my second language and I'm writing this in a bit of a hurry lol

So last time I played like 200 days ago, I lost my account which had 600 hrs(hacked) and recently I bought minecraft and made a new account, first 3 days and I got level 14 and I got ender armor. So yeah I know good bit about this game but now im at the point where I can't do much but grind loads of coins for better armor etc. Im thinking abt skipping unstable armor and going for strong armor which is like 6-7m?
So what I'm asking is are there any good methods that work today and may grant me good amounts of money???
By the way before y'all say "look it up on google" I did. But all the posts are either outdated or TOO early game (collecting wheat on hub type of early).
I'd be grateful for any type of help, thanks in advance

I m female, 25s. I do not have degree. My highest education is pre-university and high school(we have this system to skip a year of diploma straight into degree). My result is pretty good but i didn't continue my study (might be in future). Addittion, i m an introvert.
I have been working in my past job for 3+ years, the job is retailer in watch store in shopping mall. Basic salary is 1800$, 6 day per weeks, 12 hours working time per day, 2.1km far from home, no overtime, do have commission but rarely reach the sales target. Job scope = pretty relaxed. Sitting while waiting for customer. But i do feel mentally stressfull as we kept argued with customer in unavoidable stuff, doing watch battery change service too risky especially for expensive watch,lately my boss has been pushing to make higher sales every week etc.
So I decided to changey job field. I try for clerk job. Basic salary for starters is 1600$, 8 hours working time, 5 days working day + 1 day (4 hours only), 9km far from home but have a lot public transport as it in the middle of the city, have potential for salary raise.job scope = still unsure. I start at 6/6. But doing all the computer stuff i guess.
I tried to change my job fields to have lot of experience. I believe having a lot of experience able to guarantee me a lot of job scope in another 10 years. Since i don't have university certificate, I believe my job will only be in these common job field. So, I was thinking my upcoming self in 10 years, if i have married ,having children, having family. The only job i will be able have time with them is the 8 hours job and 2 day off. So, since i m still in my 25s, i thought changing job isn't a bad choice. But was it really fine for me to prioritize experience than money? I m not that bad in my financial, although with all these lower wage, i still have my own saving.

1. Don't immediately pull someone off the hook if there's a killer standing in the radius unless it's end of match and they're babysitting.

2.if youre running from the killer and they stop chasing you, and you happen to see a gen but aren't sure if you're safe to finish it.... Stop and put some charges on it so everyone else can hear it I like to do 1/4 of it and move on. This also helps using the Alert perk.

1. For me, if someone goes down and don't start instantly recovering ( unless they're moving to a safe place) don't expect to anyone to come revive you. You should be instantly hitting the recover button as soon as you're downed. You get blood points for almost every action in this game.
   
2. If you see a gen regressing and are running to unhook someone, stop and fix it so it doesn't keep losing charges. Remember ... As a survivor your main goal is to finish gens, not run around pretending to be a juke god when you can't keep the killer busy for more than 5 seconds, in which case if you're able to keep them busy , Great! Do that instead of gens.
   
3. Start with center gens and work your way outward, it makes it easier to finish gens when you're down to 1 or 2. Doing all the outside gens first just makes it easier for the killer to proxy watch gens.
   
4. If you aren't using perks that isn't using totems.... Don't be an A hole and cleaned them unless it's hexed.
   
5. If you get hooked and see people working on gens , be patient. Don't start pulling yourself off the hook because you're mad no one is rushing to you. Being on a hook while the killer is baby sitting you is a good time to do gens.
   
6. Situational awareness- go into your settings and click accessibility- then click " heart beat visual support", you'll thank me later if you haven't done so already. When you're working on gens and you get the cue of your heart beat going blinking, get off the gen and hide. Don't run ( because of scratch marks obviously) but walk or crouch away to some where you feel is safe from the killer. Lockers close to gens is just asking for trouble so I wouldn't pick those but lockers away from the gen is your best choice because of the perk ( no where to hide ) from the knights perks, which gives the killer visual cues of where you're at if they damage a generator. Which brings me to my next suggestion.
   
7. If you have distortion , use it. It lets you know when the killer is also in your radius when it's building tokens and hides your aurora against perks like lethal pursurer which tells the killer where all the players are at , at the beginning of the match. I also like using it for hard reports when I leave the killer no visual or audio cues of where I'm at but the ( PC killers) always magically come right to you as if theyre pretending they got a visual cue. You just clip the last 15- 30 seconds , upload it to you tube with your username and theirs and when you hard report it on the site and not by the option in the game , it shows support they're using hacks and will ban them, I get notifications weekly of people being banned for " exploits " .
   
8. Remember being a survivor is a team thing not a me thing. Playing as killer is the me thing and if you're all about your self ( which is fine ) , playing killer is more for you . Having bad team mates ruins the fun of the game. Wether you set the synergy of your perks to do gens , be chased by the killer or distract the killer, your perks and item should have a purpose. The more characters you prestige to at least 1 you can automatically use those perks on other characters and each time you prestige, those perks are automatically upgraded to be used on other characters. Once you get all the characters to at least prestige 2 , you can pretty much play any character and start mixing and matching your perks... Like running perks with totems, discretion , faster gens being completed , healing faster , ECT. One of my favorite combos is , distortion , lucky break , self care and bite the bullets. You become virtually impossible to be found.
   

These are just my suggestions feel free to give yours..

Just wanted to share a hard won victory for my son today and thought you all might appreciate it!
My son was enrolled in a hybrid school for several years. Unfortunately our son struggled and was “behind” his peers in second grade despite doing well on at home days. We reached out to his physician to get him tested. The school started recommending holding our son back. Meanwhile our son had received an ADHD diagnosis and was rapidly catching up due to the medication and behavioral therapy. He went from not reading at all to confidently sounding out words almost overnight. The school was adamant however that he would not be moving onto 3rd grade. He also confessed to us and his therapist that his 1st grade teacher made him sit in a corner most of the day and that now his second grade teacher was calling him stupid in class. He told his doctor he was too stupid to learn and began refusing his medication because kids made fun of him for his brain being different. Obviously we had to make a change.
We pulled him out not long after Christmas his second grade year. We bought fresh workbooks and readers and computer games, etc. True homeschooling without the support of the hybrid school was scary. But it gave us freedom to try new curriculum better suited for his brain. He had the freedom to move from one subject to another when he’s bored or run off energy outside or learn from a YouTube video or podcast. We just focused on building base skills and building up his confidence but the damage was deep and he frequently would get frustrated and say he was just too dumb.
Now it’s more than a year later and reading finally “clicked.” He’s read about twenty chapter books this year and he’s doing fourth grade math and he loves science and geography and is even learning Spanish. And today he pulled up a new educational computer game where he got to pick his aptitude level. In the past he’s always gone for the easiest levels in every subject but today he told me he wanted to start at level two in most and level 3 in math and reading because “I’m really good at those things now.”
Frankly I could care less if he’s ahead, behind, or on par with grade level right now. But knowing he has confidence in himself? That’s the ultimate prize of parenthood. Im so proud of the wonderful human we have the privilege of raising and I’m so proud of everything he’s accomplished this past year.

Hey everyone, as the title states I’ve been having some issues with my current roommates and I need some advice. For some context to this whole situation (this will probably be a little long so please bear with me): Before moving into this apartment, I had been communicating with a friend that I’ve known since elementary school while he was attending college in Arizona. Let’s call him Carl, for the sake of anonymity. He had been expressing how he would like to come back to living in Texas as he wasn’t very comfortable in Arizona, but he didn’t want to go back to living with his parents in Garland either. I discussed with him the possibility of us rooming together in a 2 bedroom apartment, as we had known each other for a long time and were very good friends, so I didn’t really see how there could be any concerns except for money as apartments and housing in Texas (and the US as a whole) has become quite expensive. As we had discussed it more, he had moved back to Garland and begun planning and saving up to move out of his parent’s house. It wouldn’t just be him, however, as he had a friend he knew from Florida that was also in a similar situation that would be willing to share a bedroom with Carl. I was a little skeptical of this idea at first, however after further discussion I did become more comfortable with it. I also discussed the move frequently with my dad and other friends that I would often meet with. Once we started to look at the actual costs of renting a 2 bedroom apartment, I started to get the impression that they (Carl and the other roommate) were expecting me to pay all of the rent rather than splitting costs evenly. I made it clear in all discussions that this was not to be the case, and stated that a 70/30 split for rent would be the most fair, as I knew that Carl was not making as much money as I was and that our other roommate would have to find work in the area before he could start to contribute to the cost of living. Carl agreed on this, and even stated multiple times to the other friends and family we talked with that he would be willing to split 60/40. I made it clear also that I expected everyone on the lease to contribute to rent on every single payment, so that everyone would be doing their part, fairly so, and that no one would need to contribute more than necessary. During all of this, I was told multiple times that it would be a really bad idea to pursue this arangement by my father and others, though I decided to anyway because I trusted Carl and by extension his friend from Florida. As we finalized things and settled on a pretty nice unit with a rent of $1199/mo (a little higher than I would have liked, but manageable), I started to become loaded with more and more requests from Carl to pay for deposits for electricity, internet, and for the apartment itself. I was okay with this, as he had promised to pay me back later. I knew he was struggling with paying off bills from college classes and was also spending on the trip to Florida to assist our roommate. Things started to settle down a bit more, and Carl was able to provide rent, however not at the full 30% that was agreed upon. I begrudgingly kept my mouth shut as I knew I was making a lot more money than him and I thought it would be unfair of me to ask for more than he was able to provide. Fast forward some time later and I had to help my girlfriend move out of her sister’s apartment due to some family issues that I won’t discuss here. Since then, things have gotten a little more difficult to afford, but I have not asked for any more or less from Carl or my other roommate (even though he has made very little to no progress towards getting a job or helping with bills and rent). I have also discovered through my girlfriend that when I am not home, both Carl and Florida have been saying that I am self-centered and short tempered, and that I have been asking too much from them as far as payment towards rent and other expenses such as groceries and other bills. Florida has also said that he feels uncomfortable with continuing to search for work and that he feels that my girlfriend should be pitching in more (even though she helps clean after them, take care of my cats/fish, and will sometimes help with buying cleaning supplies when necessary. While it wasn’t directly said, Florida has heavily implied in conversation that my girlfriend should also being rent, despite that fact that she is not legally written into the lease and as such not legally responsible for assisting with rent and bills. This all brings us to last night. While I was at work, I had remembered that rent still needed to be paid and I reached out to Carl to ask how much he would be able to put in this month. I received a text from him later that said he didn’t have a lot right now and wouldn’t be able to help until next paycheck, which I said was alright. After getting home, I paid rent in full, and went to pick up my girlfriend from work as she was getting off around that time. In the car, she told me that Carl had lied to me about how much he actually had in his account under the instruction of Florida. I was extremely frustrated and exhausted at that point, deciding that this was the last straw, and planned to confront them that night after making dinner. Once I got home after picking her up, their bedroom door was shut and I heard them on a voice call with an online friend while playing a game together (they do this very frequently and are often loud, and taking dishes to their room for snacks without returning them). As usual, they came out right when food was almost ready. That had started to pick at what was already out, and my girlfriend had told them to stop because nothing was finished yet. They took this as a joke and ignored it, so I firmly told them to stop. They acted surprised at this, and went back to their bedroom, closing the door and not returning until I had left the kitchen to get ready for work today. This morning, my girlfriend showed me a text from Carl asking if she had figured out why I was “being such an asshole”.
At this point, I’m heavily considering kicking them both out regardless of whether or not they have a place to stay. I have been more than patient and fair, spent far over half of my savings towards everything in this apartment including the dishes and other supplies they use, only for them to act like this and treat me this way when I’m not home. I really need advice on how to move forward with this situation, and whether or not I am actually in the wrong for feeling the way I do.
(TL;DR - My roommates have been underpaying, not cleaning after themselves, and talking about me behind my back, and in general being a headache to deal with. What do I do?)
Please let me know if I need to provide more information! Thank you all.

Does anyone miss when casting was based around lower classed citizens who needed the money and was more willing to do what it took to win, off the top of my head my top 2 were Tom and Mike Holloway, both were running alot of the moves, but also dominating challenges, and you also Dreamz, who didn't win, but was a homeless dude who literally did what it took to get to the end, and might have won if he wasn't in an old school era.
Nothing wrong with middle class players, but I wish it was more people who needed the money, but also wanted to play the game.

Good afternoon everyone, last night I made a post about how I was curious about this game due to my kid coming home from school hearing about it. I asked a few questions and was met by a ton of helpful feedback and even some trolling from what it seems like.
I had a lot of people advise against letting him start. His grades need to be maintained and his responsibilities come first. I understand it can be an addicting game but I limit his electronic access and I will continue to do so. I let him start in F2P 30 minutes ago and he’s already so excited and overwhelmed. He is questing and exploring like many have recommended. Thank you to everyone who explained things to me.
I wish happy gaming upon you, friends. Be on the lookout for more dumb questions from this lost parent.
