Over the centuries, the Druze have developed a unique identity, blending elements of various religious traditions into their own distinct faith. In Israel, the Druze community is primarily concentrated in the Galilee and Mount Carmel regions, where they have established a significant presence. This article delves into the historical journey of the Druze to Mount Carmel, exploring the factors that prompted their migration and settlement in this region. Additionally, it examines the intricate and evolving relationships between the Druze, the Jewish community, and the State of Israel, shedding light on both historical interactions and contemporary dynamics. Through this exploration, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Druze's place in Israeli society and the broader Middle Eastern context. Get Paid To Use Facebook, Twitter and YouTubeThe Arrival of the Druze in Mount Carmel: When and Why?The Druze arrived in the Mount Carmel area during the 18th century. This migration was part of a broader movement of Druze populations across the Middle East over several centuries. The reasons for this migration were numerous and complex: 1. Political and Regional Pressures: The Druze were pushed out of the Lebanon Mountains due to internal conflicts and struggles with ruling powers. During this period, the area was under Ottoman rule, which exerted pressure on religious minorities. 2. Search for Security and Stability: Mount Carmel offered a mountainous terrain similar to the Lebanon Mountains, providing a suitable refuge in terms of security and defense. 3. Agricultural Opportunities: The region offered fertile lands and thriving agricultural life, which were central to the Druze way of life. The villages established by the Druze In Mount Carmel were Isfiya and Daliyat al-Karmel, which became important community centers and remain hubs of Druze culture and life In Israel today. Relations between the Druze and Jews The relationships between the Druze and Jews have been diverse over the years, based on mutual understandings and collaborations that developed during the British Mandate period and especially after the establishment of the State of Israel. 1. Collaboration during the Yishuv and State Formation: During the British Mandate period, Druze and Jews maintained good relations, largely due to their shared opposition to British forces and Arab nationalists in the region. The Druze participated in fighting alongside the Jewish community during the War of Independence. 2. Service in the IDF: Since the establishment of the state, the Druze have been conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as part of the mandatory draft, often serving as high officers in the Israel Defense Forces and holding prominent positions in various sectors.. Military service has strengthened ties between the Druze and Jews and has been a central component of Druze integration into Israeli society. 3. Economic and Social Integration: The Druze have integrated into various sectors of Israeli society, including politics, economy, and education. However, there remain challenges such as economic and social disparities that continue to concern both Israeli society and the Druze sector. Relations with the State of Israel The Druze consider themselves an integral part of the State of Israel, and the Israeli authorities recognize the Druze community as a distinct religious minority with special rights: 1. Religious Rights and Cultural Autonomy: The state officially recognizes the Druze religion, and the community enjoys autonomy in religious and cultural matters. 2. Political Representation: Druze are represented in the Knesset and other government institutions. Over the years, several Druze representatives have held important positions in the government and parliament. 3. Development and Infrastructure: Despite historical issues in economic development and infrastructure in Druze villages, recent years have seen state investment in improving the situation through targeted social and economic development programs. Conclusion The Druze arrived in Mount Carmel in the 18th century due to political pressures and the search for a secure and fertile place for settlement. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Druze have integrated into Israeli society while maintaining their religious and cultural identity. Relations between the Druze, Jews, and the State of Israel are characterized by deep cooperation, especially in the military domain, but also include ongoing social and economic challenges.

2024.05.23 11:51 agressivewhale Upsetting fat comments my mom keeps making about me
I want to ask about how people maintain good relationships with their parents after adulting. I'm 17, turning 18 very soon, going to study abroad for college in a few months. I find myself unable to communicate with my family and getting more frustrated at them.
I used to have a binge eating disorder and would intentionally starve myself. I live in East Asia and the entire culture is extremely toxic. My mom is is slightly overweight. Growing up, my childhood was filled with her exercising to Korean workout videos, eating weight loss pills, always saying "this is so oily" before meals, complaining about how "fat" she was, how "fat" and "ugly" other people are, but never actually successfully losing weight. I kind of inherited her internalized self-hatred.
These past few years I've been trying to change. I was walking in a mall with my mom yesterday (we had a large meal), and while I don't personally dress fashionably I really love fashion. We went to look at some designer brands and I was pretty upbeat, trying to make conversation and saying "oh this looks so cute". Whenever I said I liked some clothes she would say "it would never fit you", "these clothes are for skinny people", "it would look so ugly on your body type". Just a constant stream of snide, upsetting fat comments. To which I would respond "I don't want to wear it I just think it looks good" or "the fashion industry only caters toward skinny models so that makes sense".
Eventually I got enough of those comments. When she said "those clothes don't fit you" I just told her to stop, that she's been saying them all day and that I am not overweight. This is not even important but I'm definitely not fat but I have been gaining weight for the gym. I think she got embarassed/angry because I said it in front of a salesperson. I told her that she hates herself and that I don't want to be involved in that. I asked her if she was going to hate herself until she dies.
It's been a day and I still can't stop thinking about those comments. They upset me so much for no reason. How much do adults care about weight? I know the body positivity movement is pretty big but even my most openminded friends make self-deprecating comments about being fat. I feel like people in my high school (esp girls) treat me better when I'm skinny.
And how do I even maintain a relationship with my parents? I feel so upset and stifled at home. And I know I shouldn't but I really crave validation from my mom. My entire career path has been planned out according to what she approves of. Her comment makes me want to binge eat or not eat at all. I'm still so angry.

2024.05.23 11:50 Sudden-Hoe-2578 Scientific Miracles debunked
(I already postet this on exmuslim, this is a repost)
I'm really bored so I'm gonna debunk these "scientifical miracles" in the Quran :3
Table of contents:
According to Muslims, this verse tells us about the Big Bang and because of that, is an evidence for Islam being the true religion.
But the problem is: It is stolen. This saying that "the earth and the sky were once together and than seperated" are found in many religions. As an example, the egyptian mythologie. The egyptian mythologie tells us about the sky and earth being together a block and than being seperated. Another example is the summerian mythologie, which says basically the exact same thing the Quran says. Earth and sky were together, than seperated.
And if you paid attention, you will notice that both of these mythologies (egyptian and summerian) were also located in the middle east. And both of these mythologies were older than Islam. Who can add up 1+1 should now see that Momo just stole from other mythologies around him and put them in Islam.
Thales, an ancient greek scientist, already knew that. No big suprise. Momo just did his thing, he stole it and put it in his own religion.
Now, I take these verses from quran.com and whenever something is in these ˹˺ things, I'm suspicious because the words under them isn't really in the arabic original text, so I'm not sure if these verse really says "reflected" in the original text. But I'm just gonna pretend like it says that but I also heard some people saying that ot doesn't say that so... Idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Now, even if the text does say that the moon just reflects light and not produces its own light, this still wouldn't be a big thing. Because again, ancient greek men got our back. Like Anaxagoras, he speculated that the moon reflects light.
Now, if you don't know, iron wasn't on earth always but rather came trough Supernovas (explosion of stars). Now, 'hOw cOuLd a dEseRt mAN 1400 yEarS aGo kNoW tHaT??'. Like the other "miracles", people already knew that. But not in the way we do now. Basically, civilisations like the ancient egyptians, already knew that iron came from heaven through metorites. Like I'm not joking, the literal name for iron in ancient egypt was "metal of heaven".... Great miracle Momo, really, I'm impressed
Now, this verse is allegedly a miracle because it is a good description of how babays are formed. Only problem, again, it is stolen. The original description comes from Gallen, again an ancient greek scientist. It's nearly the exact same thing as he said. And it also includes the mistakes Gallen make: 'clothed the bones with flesh' means that there are bones and the flesh comes afterwards, which is false.
This verse shows that salt and fresh water in don't mix. Well, I've got some problems with that:
How you probably already expect, it was already known. As an example, Aistotle knew that fresh and salt water don't mix. Momo just took it. But the other problem is, that it's false. Well, if you look at salt and fresh water, they may seem like they don't mix. But they do mix. But Aristotle didn't know that and I guess Allah just knows as much as Aristotle knew.
This verse allegedly shows that the sun is in a orbit and moves, which is actually true. For those who didn't know, the sun doesn't stay in one place but moves trough space.
Now, if you read the verse and think rationally, you'll see what is really meant. From the perspectiv of Momo, it seemed like the sun orbits around earth. And that's what he wrote. You can see that because of the referemce with night and day.
According to muslims, this verse shows that the quran knew pain receptors existed and that they are in our skin... I don't think I have to debunk this? I mean, you could have asked a caveman "because of which body part we feel pain" and he would have showed the skin. Not because he knew about pain receptors. It was just what people thought
"This verse is a miracle because it shows us that Momo knew that ants could communicate."
I'm really starting to think that Momo was a big fan of ancient greek men, esspecially Aristotle. Because, again, Aristotle already said before Momo even existed, that ants could communicate.
But besides that, this verse doesn't even make sense, it has some errors:
Yeah, muslims say that this verse knew that the spiders house is the weakest house of all. Sometimes I really think if muslims are serious when they say something like this. Ask a 5 year old child "what animal has the weakest home" and he would guess the spiders home.
Also, just a side fact, spidersilk is stronger than steel. If you would take 1 pound of steel and 1 pount of spidersilk, the silk would be stronger.
At the begining of the universe, there was a "gas state". The universe had a lot of gas in it, which formed than stars and other things.
But first of all, the verse doesn't say gas, it says smoke. And now, some of you may think that this is just a small thing, but gas and smoke actually can be very different. Also, why didn't god just say gas? It would be than correct and us kafirs would have nothing to yap about.
Actually, there is a bigger problem with this verse, and this is the previous verse, i.e. the 10th. Because there, Momo- I mean Allah talks about the creation of mountains on earth. But this 'gas-state' of the universe I just mentioned already had finished long before earth even formed, let alone the mountains.
So, idk why this is a miracle. In some websites I take these miracles from, I see this a lot. So, everything is in pairs? I mean, I'm pretty sure the Mexican Whiptail Lizard doesn't have a male pair. These Lizards are just females and their reproduction also happens without the need of sperm. There are actually more animals which have no sexual conterpart. And also, if everything has a pair, what would be the pair of a phone be? A tablet? A television?
The Quran says that there are 7 heavens and some muslims like to claim that this 7 heavens concept actually represents the 7 atmospheres.
I said "some" muslims because this is a really dumb "miracle" and you wont hear it from someone who has a decent knowledge of Islam, but because I still hear it a lot from muslims, I wanted to include it in here.
You can debunk this verse with another Quran verse, which says that the stars are in the lowest heaven:
"And We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps ˹for beauty˺ and for protection." (Quran 41:12)
("lamps" means stars)
Planes fly at the lowest atnosphere so according to this verse, than planes actially fly next to the stars?
Bonus fact: the concept of 7 heavens is stolen from the summerian mythologie :3
Ypu probably know that if you climb a mountain or are generally in higher places, the oxygen gets less because the gravitational pull isn't as stong.
Basically, you breathe harder on higher places. And this verse "shows that 1400 years before, when no one knew it!!"
That's a lie, people knew that. Also, Momo and his people would also have experienced it themselves, because of the environment there.
Not to forget, it is also wrong. If you were climbing 'up into the sky' your chest doesn't gets tight. It just feels like that.
Mountains have "roots" which are under the earth. And according to muslims, the refference with 'pegs' seems to show that.
And tbh, I don't find a logical way to explain this. I- I think I'm gonna convert back to Islam! Now I understand that not my eyes, but that my heart was blind all along! ALLAH FORGIVE ME! "Aschhadu an la ilaha illa-lah wa-"
Aristotle enters chat
"I knew that" he said with his magnificent eyes and with his 6.5 feet tall body when he enetered the room. His smell immediately filled my head. His body, so attractiv like the sun for Icarus...
(I'm sorry, I only slept like 4 hours, my brain is playing dumb)
Jokes aside, Aristotle already proposed the idea of mountains having roots under the earth. So it was nothing new.
~Aristotle seemed satisfied with the truth out and he left the room. As he closed the door, he looked at me and gave me a little smirk... and he was gone... But I knew that he would come back... Eventually... In another time, another place, another "miracle", I would see him again...~
When water steams from the ocean to the sky and joins into clouds, the bacteria, dust or any other thing gets left behind and it's only water. And the Quran says that the rain is pure. Boom, miracle.
Not really, ancient people already believed that the rain was clean. And I know that the verse means 'pure' and not 'clean'. But the word used for pure actually also translates to clean and by translating to 'clean', I'm actually doing Muslims something good:
Because rain isn't pure. "But you just said and even explained why rain is pure" Yeah, I did, but this was just about the becterias which were already in the water. Because while the clouds are on the sky and driven by the wind, they collect new things. Like bacteria, dust or any other impurity.
The sources, where I find my scientific miracles, says: "Animals live in communities and have their own languages. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered."
And if this islamic website says it, it gotta be true... I think I have to give up, Muslims won, bye atheism, hello Isla-
~With a sudden burst the door was open and he walked in... The one for whom I'd give my life, the one for whom I'd really sacrifice my son Isaak... "Hello again", his voice full of wisdom to advanced for his time... He said nothing, he just had a little smile on his face, that reminded the smile of an alone mother, getting to see her beloved child again after a hard day... He sat besides me, took a deep breath and started "The thought that animals live in communities comes from me. Of course not just from me. I'm sure many civilisations, many great people had that tought."
"Aris? Whither hast thou wandered? By the gods, reveal thyself! Ah, there thou art! What shadows have thou been chasing?" It was Plato, who was searching for his his student, but also his friend. Aristotle seemed rather angry about his appereance and I could see his expressions, telling him to go away. But Plato didn't seem to get it, he was more interested in the vynil.
"Lo, it hath been many moons since mine eyes have beheld such a sight. Behold, within its confines, a disc doth lie, a testament to times long past." He saw the disc in the vinyl, which skipped when I was listening. But I was too tired to care.
"Okay, Plato, I'm coming, could you just give us one more minute?" His eyes shined more anger than the sun light and warmth, so that even Plato understood he wasn't welcomed.
"Very well, very well! I'm going on my path!"
And with Aristotles pulling, he was let out the door. While Aristotle was again on hsi way to me, he also noticed the vinyl and the disc which skipped. He flipped it over... And sat a little closer... (Lovers Rock referece)
We talked some more, but because of Plato, he couldn't stay long, so he made his way. But before that... He pressed his lips to my cheek, and gave me a little kiss. From the point of his kiss, a warmth filled my body... And he was gone...
(If you really read all of that shit, I'm sorry. I'm currently writing this in school... With again, 3 hours of sleep👍, but this is the end of this... Weird shit) (I'm btw also a boy, so you just read a love story of gay Aristotle, yippie)
This is maybe the miracle you will hear the most. And to debunk it, simply use one of their own arguemnts: wrong translation/meaning
Because the meaning of this verse changed, this verse can mean 2 things:
I'm done, this took me days to write, not because it was hard but because I wrote it in school during recess. And I actually enjoyed writing this very much, I also wanna start another project, where I either debunk "prophecies" in Islam OR show things that are just wrong (like scientifically, historically etc). Again, I'm sorry because of this Aristotle love story thing :3
Btw. If there are still some "scientific miracles" which you couldn't find here, you could write them as a comment, so that I or maybe someone else could debunk it ;)

Who can add up 1+1 should now see that Momo just stole from other mythologies around him and put them in Islam.
- LIFE FROM WATER In the same verse as above, it goes on and says: "And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" (Quran 21:30)
Thales, an ancient greek scientist, already knew that. No big suprise. Momo just did his thing, he stole it and put it in his own religion.
- MOON REFLECTING LIGHT
Now, I take these verses from quran.com and whenever something is in these ˹˺ things, I'm suspicious because the words under them isn't really in the arabic original text, so I'm not sure if these verse really says "reflected" in the original text.

"This verse is a miracle because it shows us that Momo knew that ants could communicate."
I'm really starting to think that Momo was a big fan of ancient greek men, esspecially Aristotle. Because, again, Aristotle already said before Momo even existed, that ants could communicate.
But besides that, this verse doesn't even make sense, it has some errors:
- Ants can't speak, they can communicate trough chemical smells
- Ants can communicate with eachother, but not like this. Never. Trough these chemical smells, they might give a warning signal, to indicate that everyone should go back to the nest, but they could never say something like it is shown in the verse.
- SPIDERS HOUSE
Yeah, muslims say that this verse knew that the spiders house is the weakest house of all. Sometimes I really think if muslims are serious when they say something like this. Ask a 5 year old child "what animal has the weakest home" and he would guess the spiders home.
Also, just a side fact, spidersilk is stronger than steel. If you would take 1 pound of steel and 1 pount of spidersilk, the silk would be stronger.

- EVERYTHING IN PAIRS
So, idk why this is a miracle. In some websites I take these miracles from, I see this a lot. So, everything is in pairs? I mean, I'm pretty sure the Mexican Whiptail Lizard doesn't have a male pair. These Lizards are just females and their reproduction also happens without the need of sperm. There are actually more animals which have no sexual conterpart. And also, if everything has a pair, what would be the pair of a phone be? A tablet? A television?
- SEVEN ATMOSPHERE

The sources, where I find my scientific miracles, says: "Animals live in communities and have their own languages. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered."
And if this islamic website says it, it gotta be true... I think I have to give up, Muslims won, bye atheism, hello Isla-
~With a sudden burst the door was open and he walked in... The one for whom I'd give my life, the one for whom I'd really sacrifice my son Isaak... "Hello again", his voice full of wisdom to advanced for his time... He said nothing, he just had a little smile on his face, that reminded the smile of an alone mother, getting to see her beloved child again after a hard day... He sat besides me, took a deep breath and started "The thought that animals live in communities comes from me. Of course not just from me. I'm sure many civilisations, many great people had that tought."
"Aris? Whither hast thou wandered? By the gods, reveal thyself! Ah, there thou art! What shadows have thou been chasing?" It was Plato, who was searching for his his student, but also his friend. Aristotle seemed rather angry about his appereance and I could see his expressions, telling him to go away. But Plato didn't seem to get it, he was more interested in the vynil.
"Lo, it hath been many moons since mine eyes have beheld such a sight. Behold, within its confines, a disc doth lie, a testament to times long past." He saw the disc in the vinyl, which skipped when I was listening. But I was too tired to care.
"Okay, Plato, I'm coming, could you just give us one more minute?" His eyes shined more anger than the sun light and warmth, so that even Plato understood he wasn't welcomed.
"Very well, very well! I'm going on my path!"
And with Aristotles pulling, he was let out the door. While Aristotle was again on hsi way to me, he also noticed the vinyl and the disc which skipped. He flipped it over... And sat a little closer... (Lovers Rock referece)
We talked some more, but because of Plato, he couldn't stay long, so he made his way. But before that... He pressed his lips to my cheek, and gave me a little kiss. From the point of his kiss, a warmth filled my body... And he was gone...
(If you really read all of that shit, I'm sorry. I'm currently writing this in school... With again, 3 hours of sleep👍, but this is the end of this... Weird shit) (I'm btw also a boy, so you just read a love story of gay Aristotle, yippie)
- Expansion of he universe
This is maybe the miracle you will hear the most. And to debunk it, simply use one of their own arguemnts: wrong translation/meaning
Because the meaning of this verse changed, this verse can mean 2 things:
- "We are certainly expanding it"
- "We are able to extend/expand it"
I'm done, this took me days to write, not because it was hard but because I wrote it in school during recess. And I actually enjoyed writing this very much, I also wanna start another project, where I either debunk "prophecies" in Islam OR show things that are just wrong (like scientifically, historically etc). Again, I'm sorry because of this Aristotle love story thing :3
Btw. If there are still some "scientific miracles" which you couldn't find here, you could write them as a comment, so that I or maybe someone else could debunk it ;)

Reviews🔗Super Bright Handheld Spotlight with Multiple Colors and Charging Optionshttps://preview.redd.it/nf974pu2d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fcae8d425912dfe235cf963678d18580f00b351 Using a MIXILIN rechargeable spotlight in my backyard during a camping trip, I was truly awed by the brightness emitted by the handheld hunting flashlight. The high capacity rechargeable battery is a real plus as it eliminates the need for frequent battery changes and the included USB cable and solar panels give me options for charging. The IPX5 waterproof feature made me feel confident to take it on outdoor adventures, and the large, comfortable handle felt great in my hand. However, I must admit the varying strobe and color options might be a bit excessive for my needs, and the flashing blue light could be distracting. Overall, the MIXILIN spotlight offers excellent brightness, flexibility in charging, and its rugged design makes it suitable for various environments. 🔗Cabela's 1,000-Lumen IPX7 Waterproof Spotlight for Coyote Huntinghttps://preview.redd.it/g5lrdn33d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7287df57e2859d67d6dddfc94c241417e44891f0 The Coyote Hunting Spotlight from Cabela's is a shining example of a reliable, powerful tool for hunting enthusiasts. With a 1,000-lumen output, this device easily tackles even the darkest conditions, making wildlife illuminate like they're basking in the summer sun. Its IPX7 waterproof rating is a standout feature that ensures it's up for any adventure that takes you near water. Whether you're spot-lighting frogs, crayfish, or deer, you can trust this Coyote Hunting Spotlight to perform under pressure. However, the switch that locks the beam in is less than ideal. It's not as smooth or intuitive as we'd expect, which can be frustrating in the heat of the moment. Also, the spotlight's rubber grip isn't as comfortable as it could be, making it a bit tricky to handle when you're in the middle of a hunt. Overall, this is a powerful and waterproof tool, but it could do with some refinements in its locking mechanism and grip. Despite these drawbacks, it's a reliable light for any hunting or wildlife-spotting mission. 🔗Powerful Coyote Hunting Spotlight with 18 Million Candlepowerhttps://preview.redd.it/ub2jvzj3d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c44fd4a0d36779987d81b1b952be337041acd9b3 The Cyclops Thor X Colossus Rechargeable Spotlight is an impressive piece of equipment designed for outdoor adventures, illuminating paths and providing powerful beams of light in the darkest of settings. Its durable rubberized construction makes it perfect for even the toughest conditions, while the adjustable stand allows for hands-free use, directing the light exactly where it's needed. I've used the Cyclops Thor X Colossus for various purposes, including hiking trips and late-night camping excursions. The most striking feature is its 18 million candlepower, delivering an incredibly bright and focused beam. This level of brightness is crucial when navigating through unfamiliar terrain or when trying to spot wildlife at night. One downside I noticed is that the spotlight's battery life isn't as long as I would have hoped. In low beam mode, it lasted only about 40 minutes, while high beam mode offered just 20 minutes of illumination. However, the included AC/DC adapter and 12V car plug adapter make recharging the device convenient, even when away from a power outlet. Another issue I encountered was the bulky nature of the device. Its size made it uncomfortable to hold for extended periods, and I found myself using the removable shoulder strap to make it more ergonomic. In conclusion, the Cyclops Thor X Colossus Rechargeable Spotlight is a powerful and functional device, providing a reliable source of light in various outdoor scenarios. While its battery life and bulkiness may be seen as drawbacks, the brightness and convenience it offers make it a valuable companion for any adventurer or outdoor enthusiast. 🔗Powerful 35W Xenon HID Spotlight/Floodlight for Coyote Hunting and Outdoor Adventure Lightinghttps://preview.redd.it/oddfk4w3d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d339b6cf460b4411e585c43aaaaf8bcc9278c19 The Goodsmann Tacticpro Spotlight is by far the most powerful 35W HID lamp on the market, offering an incredible beam distance of up to 850 meters. Constructed with durability in mind, this light boasts a robust ABS plastic casing and a rubber handle, providing a superior grip and comfort during long outdoor excursions. The light bulb gradually brightens to its full 2000 lumen potential within a minute, ensuring optimal illumination right from the start.

I took it out during a camping trip, and my first impression was the ease of use. The 4 modes and rotatable light made it super versatile for various situations. That being said, I also encountered some challenges. The spotlight is quite heavy, and I struggled to hold it steady while adjusting the focus in lower lighting conditions. Additionally, its waterproof design didn't seem as effective as I'd hoped when I accidentally knocked it into a puddle – perhaps a safer option would be to keep it away from direct water contact. All in all, the Coyote Hunting Spotlight has its pros and cons. It shines (literally) as a useful tool for outdoor activities, but some design improvements could make it even more practical and durable. 🔗Coyote Hunting Spotlight with Tough ABS Constructionhttps://preview.redd.it/5cnll8u4d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64e2eac2096f7409625b46bca3cab528974ae2dc This Goodsmann Spotlight Camo Hunting Spot Light has been an essential element of my outdoor adventures. The 1500 lumens of brightness and its waterproof design made it perfect for those late night fishing trips or early morning hunts. It's easy to hang thanks to the metal bracket, and the impact-resistant ABS construction gives me the peace of mind that it won't break on the job. The high-quality materials didn't go unnoticed, but there was a slight downside to its bulky size. It's not too big to hinder use, but it did require some careful storage when not in use. However, with the nylon-carrying bag and convenient on/off switch, this light has proven to be an invaluable tool on my adventures. Overall, the Goodsmann 1500 lumen spotlight is an excellent addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear collection! 🔗Best Waterproof Coyote Hunting Spotlight with High Visibilityhttps://preview.redd.it/er2dzv95d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=496e1c6a3117e9bc4738abdaa3157797081b19fb The Cyclops Waterproof Spotlight has become my trusty companion in the great outdoors. As a nature enthusiast, I often find myself in low-light environments, and this little beauty has made all the difference. Its multi-function design allows for both spotlight and lantern mode, perfect for my coyote hunting expeditions. The front spotlight, powered by a 20W XHP50.2 Cree LED, is extremely bright and offers various brightness levels through a magnetic trigger switch. The back flood light, powered by a 6W Cree XP-G3 LED, serves as an additional source of light when needed. The lightweight and durable construction make it a perfect companion for long hikes. However, I do miss the option to switch the light between spotlight and lantern mode without removing the lens cover, which could cause a bit of inconvenience at times. But overall, this versatile and powerful waterproof spotlight has proven to be a game-changer in my outdoor adventures. 🔗High Noon Power Pro Compact Spotlight: Waterproof, Submersible, and Long-Lastinghttps://preview.redd.it/jn37h7s5d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e31476479eeb617d683707728c683e156a045da1 As I began using the High Noon Power Pro Compact Spotlight in my outdoor adventures, I couldn't help but marvel at its exceptional waterproof design. The spotlight's ability to provide 680 yards of light, even in wet and submerged situations, has become a game-changer for my coyote hunting experience. With its Power Bank feature, being able to charge other USB devices on the go is a fantastic additional perk. The spotlight's high-impact polymer housing and rubber lens ring were particularly noteworthy in my experience, providing the necessary protection against accidental drops. The fact that it's both waterproof and submersible is a great asset, especially when I'm exploring diverse terrains. Additionally, the built-in low battery indicator that turns red while charging, green when fully charged, and amber when the battery has 20% or less capacity is convenient for ensuring consistency during my adventures. One of the most impressive features of the High Noon Power Pro Compact Spotlight is its ability to be used continuously without recharging, thanks to its compatibility with 110V AC or 12V DC power through the included USB cable and vehicle adaptor. This versatility proves invaluable when I'm out exploring for long periods of time. Although the spotlight offers a limited number of brightness modes, the high, low, and flashing modes are quite adequate and useful for varying situations. While the High Noon Power Pro Compact Spotlight is a reliable and durable piece of equipment, there are a few minor inconveniences. For instance, the weight with batteries is slightly heavier than what I'd prefer for extended use, and the folding stand could use a few more angles for more flexibility. However, overall, this powerful, waterproof, and versatile spotlight has undoubtedly earned its place as a valuable companion on my coyote hunting adventures. 🔗Powerful Waterproof LED Spotlight for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/usfvg646d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f7a70cde2b142e340dc5a63d08f58fa8739cef3 I recently had the opportunity to use the Goodsmann 6000 Lumen Portable Handheld Spotlight during an outdoor camping trip. The highlight of this product was its versatility and adaptability. The spotlight comes equipped with three modes – high, low, and SOS – allowing me to choose the perfect setting for various scenarios, whether it be illuminating a path during a night hike or alerting others in an emergency. Another factor I appreciated was the spotlight's robust and durable design. The ABS and lenses make it resistant to impact, ensuring it can withstand harsh conditions and the occasional drop. Furthermore, the waterproof feature meant I could use it during my diving expeditions without worrying about water damage. The portability aspect also played a significant role in my experience. Its compact, lightweight design and ergonomic grip made it comfortable to hold and use for extended periods. The accompanying wrist strap, EVA carrying case, and red filter lens provided added convenience, ensuring I had a reliable source of light within arm's reach for any situation. One downside I encountered was the relatively short battery life. Despite having a rechargeable lithium battery, the device still required regular charging, limiting its practicality for extended outdoor adventures. In summary, the Goodsmann Portable Handheld Spotlight offered versatility, durability, and convenience, making it an ideal companion for both outdoor and indoor activities. Although the battery life could use some improvement, this powerful and practical spotlight still proved to be a worthy addition to my camping gear. 🔗Rechargeable Coyote Hunting Spotlight: 200,000 Lumens, Waterproof, Lightweight, Camouflagehttps://preview.redd.it/4tmalyl6d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3abca08e763d33d9da17943806c5592ac79a9918 In this roundup article, I had the pleasure of trying out the BUYSIGHT Rechargeable Spotlight Flashlight.

Charging was no hassle, as it came with a universal USB-C charger, making it suitable for recharging in cars and homes alike. While I was thrilled with this flashlight's performance, a minor soldering issue did surface. A small percentage of users reported that the spotlights wouldn't light up due to this problem. Despite this drawback, the BUYSIGHT Rechargeable Spotlight Flashlight continues to excel in providing a reliable source of light for your outdoor adventures. 🔗Waterproof Marine Spotlight for Coyote Hunting with Rechargeable Eva Casehttps://preview.redd.it/xrtouy27d52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d7d73da2a34f7c5987c623b1eb000f0716a9070 I recently had the chance to test out the Goodsmann Spotlight 10000 Lumen Waterproof Rechargeable Marine Spotlight LED Spotlight for Hunting.

Buyer's GuideCoyote hunting is a popular pastime for many outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're a novice hunter or an experienced dog trainer, choosing the right spotlight can make all the difference in your success on the hunt. In this guide, we'll explore the important features and considerations to look for when purchasing a coyote hunting spotlight.Feature 1: BrightnessThe most important aspect of a coyote hunting spotlight is its brightness. A spotlight that doesn't produce enough light will struggle to locate and track coyotes, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions. Look for spotlights that can output between 200-1000 lumens of light, as these will offer the best balance of brightness and affordability.Feature 2: Beam Distancehttps://preview.redd.it/44cgihnbd52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77faeab63f795449897d7d8d002110055834baea Another critical factor to consider when purchasing a coyote hunting spotlight is its beam distance. This refers to the distance the light will project forward. A longer beam distance ensures that the light will stay focused on coyotes that may be farther away. Look for spotlights with at least 200-500 yards of beam distance to ensure you can spot coyotes at a safe and effective distance. Feature 3: DurabilityCoyote hunting can be a grueling and unpredictable activity. Your spotlight will need to be durable enough to withstand extreme weather conditions, shock and recoil, and frequent use. Consider investing in a spotlight with a durable, water-resistant housing and a sturdy, scratch-resistant lens. This will help ensure that your spotlight is reliable and long-lasting.Feature 4: Energy SourceSpotlights come in various energy sources, including rechargeable batteries, disposable batteries, and solar power. Evaluate your specific needs and habits when choosing an energy source. Rechargeable batteries can save money in the long run but may require more frequent charging if you use your spotlight frequently. Disposable batteries offer convenience but may result in more frequent battery replacements and additional expenses. Solar-powered spotlights are eco-friendly but may not be suitable for all locations and weather conditions.Consideration 1: BudgetA good starting point for choosing a coyote hunting spotlight is determining your budget. Spotlights come in a wide range of prices, from affordable options under $50 to high-end models that can cost hundreds of dollars. Decide on a budget that works for you and narrow down your options accordingly. https://preview.redd.it/smmdg3wbd52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ea250b006e64e7d3966736fcf3df4ced451db91 Consideration 2: Hunting FrequencyConsider how often you plan to use your spotlight. If you hunt frequently, you may benefit from investing in a higher-end, more durable spotlight. If you hunt infrequently, a more affordable option may suffice. Consider the level of wear and tear your spotlight may experience over time and choose one that can handle it.Consideration 3: PortabilityCoyote hunting often requires traveling to remote locations, which means you'll need a spotlight that's easy to carry. Look for spotlights with lightweight, compact designs and a sturdy carrying strap. This will help make your hunting experience more enjoyable and efficient.Advice: Practice Proper Aiming TechniquePracticing proper aiming techniques is crucial for successful coyote hunting. A spotlight can help you pinpoint your target, but ultimately, your aim will determine the outcome. Make sure you practice your aiming skills in a safe and controlled environment before heading out on the hunt. This will help you improve your accuracy and increase your chances of a successful hunt.Advice: Check Local Regulationshttps://preview.redd.it/3tsavzhcd52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efceeaf4dd976437b848ef039af2e0080cdeb9eb Before using a spotlight for coyote hunting, make sure to check local regulations and laws. Some areas may have restrictions or require specific permits for the use of spotlights. Familiarizing yourself with the rules in your area will help you avoid potential legal issues and ensure a safe and enjoyable hunting experience. Additional ResourcesFor more information on choosing the best coyote hunting spotlight, consult local hunting clubs or outdoor retailers. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations based on your unique needs and budget. Additionally, online resources such as hunting forums and websites can offer helpful tips and reviews on various spotlight models.FAQWhat is the Coyote Hunting Spotlight?The Coyote Hunting Spotlight is a roundup of the top products for coyote hunting, including hunting lights, thermal scopes, and accessories that assist in locating and tracking these elusive animals. https://preview.redd.it/tf2s5vscd52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=188e6f750370e8ad9b522ea58b4529f90944cf05 Who is the article for?This article is for hunters who are interested in coyote hunting and want to know about the best products available to help increase their success in the field.What types of products are featured in the Coyote Hunting Spotlight?The Coyote Hunting Spotlight features various products that can be used for coyote hunting, such as hunting lights, thermal scopes, night vision devices, and related accessories.What brands are included in the Coyote Hunting Spotlight?The Coyote Hunting Spotlight includes products from a variety of well-known brands, as well as some lesser-known manufacturers that may offer excellent value and performance.How are the products in the Coyote Hunting Spotlight reviewed?The products in the Coyote Hunting Spotlight are reviewed based on various factors including performance, durability, ease of use, and value for the money.

2024.05.23 11:37 Inner-Network-7460 Budget tips?
I just turned 18 and have been living alone since 15. My father died and left me with no money. I receive 500pesos a week for my allowance. It used to be enough for me but now, I honestly can't remember the last time I had a proper meal because I have no budget. My transportation to school costs 70pesos (I live in rural area), but we only have 3 classes a week. I spend the rest of the money for other school expenses. I badly need a job but I have a lot of workload since I'm a graduating student. I can't ask for my relatives' help because they're the ones who take care of my bills.
So yeah. Do I still have hope with my 500pesos a week?

2024.05.23 11:36 Helovedyousomuch What happened to me being your one and only?
As an empath, It has been difficult to let go, but your right. Why be or try to work out a bad relationship when the individual is not interested/ invested in the relationship as you. Im letting go. Love is not printing pictures t and giving them to you Significant other, etc. love is being kind, being patient and responsing in aiinini,,. I totally felt for a narcissist woman who I thought love me. I know I'm better than this and smarter than this, but I guess it was just in me to hang on to hope and give it time for this other individual to change. I've allowed them to take my child away, I allow them to control my behaviors as I fell into drugs again, I've allowed him to suppress my emotions and most importantly, I've allowed them to take away my heart mind soul and strength from my God, Adonai, the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. I should have known better. Who knows maybe this is what I had to take for me to really start loving, because when I got out of the Navy and even during my time in the service I was a complete a******, I did not treat my first wife good, I was verbally abusive, I wasn't the man she fell in love with. I apologize many years after for the man I was to her, I wish I would have had more structure, more knowledge about what love was when I was 17 18 19 plus years old. I've been married three times, one to my high school sweetheart, the second one was to a woman I met online while getting a divorce, turned out she was still married to another man, so we got an annulment. The third wife I met in church, she was verbally abusive as well another jezebel. And this other one that I would have married who is 43 years of age, was and is another Jezebel, a woman who says she wants me to lead, only if it's beneficial for her once and desires. She became a stumbling block, but I have to accept what I did wrong. I stood by her side when she told me she was married and going through a divorce. I should have said no, but instead I entertain the thought. I know I can do this, my goal in life is too help veterans, as I am a veteran, my goal is to lead individuals into leaving a life without needing the pleasures of this world, but relying on the source of love that comes from only God. I know I can do it, I got through a lot, I've been through a lot, but I'm a warrior. My God has never felt me and he won't now. My family who claim they love me, turn the back on me and cut me off, even after my brother overdose from fentanyl back in December 2023, but God oh yeah, has always been there. Maybe this was my heart, to be there for this woman, too sure what love was in the storm. Who knows, but what I've learned is don't give your heart away if that person is not willing to love you like yeshua. The word of god, aka the Bible says, that no greater love than this one lay down his life for a friend, then I'm not going to accept it. I'm not married to another woman, I'm not in a relationship with this woman no more. I choose to be free. I hope you have seen a piece of my heart, and this, I was going to leave my life down for my country as a US Navy enlisted service men, 2006 to 2011. Have fun you all, get paid for not knowing what truly is going on. The truth is I'm broken, but I know I don't have to be, because I can be a solid foundation for someone else who needs love, who desires a relationship, it doesn't have to be with a woman, I could be a friend, I could be a son, I could be a dad to someone else. So I'll accept my selfishness, this isn't about me, it's about you and the choice you have to make. Are you going to choose to love or are you going to choose to hold on to whatever makes you tick, whatever makes you angry, whatever makes you do the hurtful things you do.
Peace out everybody, my initials are d a m. I am going to hill now, because somewhere out there is someone waiting for me. I found my purpose!!!

2024.05.23 11:33 Thick-Local-1514 Aita for resenting my brother?
Sorry this is the first time I'm posting on Reddit. Long back story.
I have 4 brothers, but the oldest (M30) and I (F22) have never had a full friendly conversation or have gotten to know each other. I'm #4 and the youngest is the surprise child, being born 8 years after me.
I was the child my mother wanted (a girl) but, the opposite of what my parents were expecting. I grew up around guys and never cared about makeup unless I was at dance recitals. I grew up in sweatshirts and jeans.
Growing up my brother's thought I was the child who got everything, but when I was 12 I was working only one day a week for a family friend, which I still work there today.
I was the one offering people to go to the movies with me and I would pay even when my mom told me not to. When I was sixteen I was working 2 jobs in the summer trying to get a hefty savings.
When I was in elementary school my mom would say comments like, "if you wear makeup you would look prettier," or "don't eat like the boys,' or "boys like skinny girls," to me. When I hit 4th grade I start wearing sweatshirts and jeans to cover my insecurities.
When I was 14 my oldest brother got married, which my SIL asked me to be a bridesmaid, I accepted, but didn't know what it meant or know why should've been in involved. I was never included because I was young and remember one time being at someone's house and the adults talking about the wedding and I was staring off into the distance pleasing my mom.
When I was just turned 16 (I was born late summer) I had just gotten my license and my 2nd oldest brother was getting married to my (2nd) SIL. It was two weeks of vacation. One week for the wedding and then one week in Florida. I was hating it because I liked spending time at home. But I was out of state the whole time. My 2SIL said my skin tone was good and I didn't need makeup except mascara. I told my mom this and she said okay, but in front of everyone getting ready my mom was going at me about putting some lipstick on which would of made my mouth look non existent.
I kept telling my mom. I didn't need it and 2SIL said I'm fine the way I looked. My mom kept going and I blew up. I (I'm going to regret this) said, " no, mom SIL said I didn't need it, why are we even here she doesn't have a family anyways." Now at the time, I blacked out in anger and when I visit my 2SIL out of state when I was 19 turning 20 she told me she thought I hated her and when I asked her why she said the following and I apologized profusely especially when I didn't remember the part of the day. (I had very bad anger issues that my 2SIL and I only knew at the time. And had to work out on my own because of a separate story but we very good now)
We are very close so I don't even know why I had to say that, but I was a teenager. I didn't have stability. A journal was the only this is could give my thoughts to at the time.
Nobody cared to say this to me, but then it came obvious I was the blacksheep. I learned everything that was happening with my family, when it came to someone dying or when something bad was happening anger was told to me from my 2SIL who lived half way across the country.
When my brother comes in.... It start when I was 14. I came (middle school) after school and all my older brothers were around the table with my mom. I then say, "Why such sad faces?" In a funny tone. Everyone tells me to STFU. I then laugh and say rough crowd and start walking up the stairs where it's silent again and I ask my mom if she will buy soda for a party happening that weekend and everyone flips out on me. I then said don't be mean and I work up stairs. My mom then called me down angry with me. When I then argue with my mom I just asked about soda then I end up face to face with my college ( oldest) brother. He calls me a piece of (sh!t) and a fat cow while pushing me against the kitchen counter. I was yelling my mom to get him off of me, but she didn't so I screamed at him and ran upstairs to call my friend. My mom is trying to bust my door in and when my friend said her mom are coming I hold my phone up (taller than my mom) and run outside where my mom threatens to call the cops on me if I leave.
I walk inside afterwards to my oldest brother crying and apologizing. I say okay, but dont feel anything. (Btw at the time my dad was on a work trip) I was then grounded (for what? I don't know, still to this day) didn't talk to my mom for a whole year. Until she said "I think you hate me" closest thing I had to a mother was my 2SIL or my neighbors mother who was worried even if I got thinner. God bless her.
I got older barely speaking to my oldest brother or my mother and didn't get semi close till I got pregnant. I was 20 at the time and had to find my future by myself. I transferred to the school I wanted to because my parents pressured me into going somewhere else and found my calling.
My mom, tried to be, A mother at the time, but the only person I would open up to is my boyfriend. My brother still never talked to me. Especially after the situation....
Over a CRIB.
I didn't have a baby shower because of parents on Both sides so I was buying things myself. I made minimum wage at the time. I was looking for a baby crib on Facebook. When I told my mom that she said I shouldn't look there because I would want something that would last then offered to buy one.
I said okay if it was stained wooden. No whites or blues or pinks. I told the same thing to my dad and he said okay. That was a Thursday.
Sunday comes around I get a text from my mom saying I found a crib and I said we will be out there anyways so we will come over.
Well we get there and she shows me a Facebook ad of a white crib I look at my mom in astonishment. Baffled what she had shown me. I pointed out Facebook and the white crib (btw I moved out when I was newly 20 I wasn't pregnant in their house) my dad and boyfriend made a joke about the white crib and me knowing my anger level told my mom I'm done with the conversation.
My mom was persisting then my dad joined in after I kept telling them Im done with the conversation. When my mom looks at me (6 to 7 months pregnant) saying, "I guess you dont want a crib then." So I said, "I guess I'll buy my f**king own then." And she walked upstairs.
My dad tried to tell me not to talk to.her that way so I told him, "who tells A pregnant woman I guess you.dont want a crib then?" He couldn't say anything.
The next day is where my oldest brother and I hit heads.
I get a call from him (I never receive calls from him). Btw this man is almost 30. It's a 10 second phone call of him yelling and cussing at me about how I shouldn't talk to our lawyer there that way when I said hold on to grasp what he's talking about he said no then hung up.
So I went to the source of the problem and called my mother. Asked her what she said. She said that she didn't tell anybody anything and I said that was funny as I got the phone call from my oldest brother. She couldn't deny it at that point and wasn't giving me the whole truth.
She hung up the call to speak to my brother and I called 2SIL. She then tells me THEY BOUGHT THE CRIB.
FYI I never saw a physical crib. Where the story is being f*cked. I guess my mom said I was a spoiled brat even though she didn't even buy me my own bedsheets.
In the middle of talking with 2SIL I get a texted from my oldest brother uninviting me from my nephews birthday party....
Ummm I haven't said anything to him at this point so I texted my mom asking he what happened and she said she didn't want to argue with him anymore...
He never apologized and it's been 2 years all he had texted me was "I take back what I said" and a midnight text inviting me to his new house with all our family being there (recently)..... I guess he didn't want me to show up even when we did show up late.... So ATIA for resenting him? Or was I just childish

I have 4 brothers, but the oldest (M30) and I (F22) have never had a full friendly conversation or have gotten to know each other. I'm #4 and the youngest is the surprise child, being born 8 years after me.

2024.05.23 11:31 clolaz People from past stalking me and turning people against me
I know I’m not interesting or important enough for people to conspire against me but perhaps people collectively hate me enough to warn others about me and to spread the message to all who I am in contact with.
These people for sure hate me, this guy I used to work with (M) continued to ignore my messages and bursted out in anger at me after I refused to sleep with him, but we stayed friends on social media, he’s also friends with my other good work friend K. K invited me to go quadding at christmas and at the last minute K says that this guy will be there so I told him “I’m sorry I can’t make it, you guys enjoy I’ll go with you another time” This guy isn’t working at my job anymore but I wanted to mend the bad blood to keep things civil, so I tried texting M a bunch of times but he would just read the messages, so I unfriend him. Then a few days later I’m sitting at my job and no one’s there and the place is all closed up lights off and these two cars pull up and I think nothing of it but they go to the back, then I see them peeking thru the front window and they saw me and I go outside and say hey to M and his friend and M puts his hand on other dudes shoulder and is like “oh this is my friend D he’s going to be working here” etc etc and M was fake nice to me asking about my family and pet etc and I say bye. It was awkward.
I have had this one crazy old woman (S) I work with whisper in my ear “I want to strangle you” and walks into my office pulls a knife out towards me as an intimidating tactic and says “oh the handle on this is broken, should we keep it in the back?” And her grandson named G has tried to get with me, but I just wanted to be friends. He’s an idiot who everytime we hang out or talk he tells people about it and brags that we are really close, but I’ve been paranoid and he gave me a camera detector so I can scan my house and he said he got it from a paranoid person who’s a crackhead and he told me that day that he’s worked for “secret societies” as a way to sound cool to me and I got scared and my back got up because I found out he sells drugs and he talks to bad people. He started acting weird though, like nothing was wrong and I kept ignoring his texts but he still texts me like we are great friends and doesn’t even ask me why I’m not texting him back or what’s wrong, just sending me paragraphs about his problems like he’s talking to himself. Another person who I believed was my friend (D) was at S’s house and G texts me that D was there and he said he felt that D was very fake and not trustworthy, and he asked if I agreed with him. I got angry and said to stop involving me in this shit I have my own problems and I don’t care about this drama, fuck off. It was odd that D went to S’s house cause I know they are “work friends” but 2 hours before I was at work telling D that S was being nasty to me. I don’t trust D, I can feel her vibes and how she studies my reactions and face. D is also Facebook friends with someone (V) from my past and another town over who over one year ago accused me of talking to her ex when I did because he somehow got my Snapchat and I was just making conversation but completely forgot who he was because I only remembered his first name, but this guy said that we were talking and that I was into him apparently to this ex friend of mine. A year ago I had to justify that nothing happened and prove nothing happened because I was scared she would say false shit about me and I felt hurt that she didnt trust me. She said she did in the end, but then like 6 months ago she texted me again accusing me of similar shit but this time I got angry at her. I live like 5 hours away, I’m in school, I’m trying to just get by, who the fuck am I to her anymore and why’s she accusing mee again? And then recently before I return to work I see she’s friends with D on Facebook and I’m like hmmm. I wonder why they’re friends? And I felt cold fake vibes from D from the beginning so I ask D how she knows V and blah blah blah I forget but I say “what has she said about me” and D denies it at first but then partially admits that V said something about me talking to this guy. And I get fucking angry because V is like hours away from here and I haven’t seen her in 5 years, why the fuck would she be telling D false shit about me when i just met D a year ago and we aren’t close? Just in general it feels like at work all the blame is put on me and that there’s a conception that for some reason everyone assumes im the one responsible for things I have no control over. Im the same age as these people but im technically the manager who doesn’t have the actual authority as manager but does more work for more money. These people only seem to be salty to me, not older people with similar roles to me. Anyways these people make backhanded comments like “I don’t know how you do it, it’s so boring doing this” just to hurt me. I’d like my job if people were nice to me, and S is like 67 and I’m above her but she always says “okay BOSS” as a mocking thing, when I try to make things easy for her and I just do my job and I’m easy going and always considerate and I’ve bought her creamer for work done shit for her and she doesn’t even say thank you she said “the creamer you bought is running out” so what the fuck do you want me to do? Do you want a young girl with student loans to pay for your creamer again? Or give you another ride just because your old and didn’t pay into your pension? She doesn’t ask anyone else but me for these favours and I’m the only one who gets to see her nasty side and only one who’s her personal punching bag. Also, all these people even if they’re not close to me will have the nerve to say shit about my mom to my face “I’m scared of your mom” “your moms so intimidating” “your moms a dry drunk” and then act like my friend. And I’ve let them do this. Other than that, well there’s a lot more but it’s 3am, so I’ll keep it brief, other than that I see on my people you may know is all the people who have absolutely despised me over the last 9 years that I have wronged in some way or we had different views on things and different personalities (it happened 5 years ago, I was going through shit that people go though so I was hot and cold with answering their texts and didn’t think before I spoke, I was always nice tho. they were all snotty anyways, but yeah once they started hating me it seemed that everyone started to hate me or pretend to be my friend but I’ve been bullied since I can remember so I wasn’t exactly well liked) but yeah these people are constantly on my people you may know and shit and it weirds me the fuck out. So that is all the real shit that has happened.
Now this is the paranoid thoughts I’m having: I’m paranoid that they’re all saying shit against me, like the ones from the past are either messaging current people I know, warning them about me and telling them to continue to slyly snub me when I have my back turned, and to continue to spread the word and eliminate all positive opportunities in my life until I give up and pull the trigger on my plans. I just think it’s really a damn shame they would do that. I’ve told these people I only have one person who I fucking love and who I need to provide for and make sure they’re okay, and they know I don’t have things easy. They know I need to be strong for my mom and they still find ways to hurt me, they still act like fake ass bitches to my face and they know I know they do it and that’s what hurts more. Because they try to personally make me feel alone in this world. But how could they know shit about my life? They know about my problems, why do they only know about my problems and not the good? Why am I still nice to these people and after one good day of treating me right I start to give them the benefit of the doubt but as soon as I do and let my guard down they immediately initiate some other tactic to psychologically hurt me and tear down my boundaries and and I tell them more about my issues and how alone I feel with it and how much the overthinking affects my ability to enjoy life.
I constantly live my life in fear. I wonder what made them hate me so much, I just pray that’s it’s all a coincidence and they don’t give a shit but it just feels off. I get bad gut feelings about it. I start to get angry. I want to install cameras in my house. I always feel watched at home. I go outside and threaten whoever is out there. Every bump in the night I believe is someone waiting for me to fall asleep. I am scared they know my Reddit. I talk to no one. The ones I trust I trust but I try not to bother them with my shit because I know it’ll drive them away and call me crazy. I have isolated myself from everyone pretty much. I feel better and I sort of feel how irrational it is but this work stuff just happened this week and I have to see these people. Idk what to do. I try to search how to se how I come across to make myself less desirable target me try to joke around and show my vulnerabilities to try and prove myself as a human to these people but I know they see it’s fake and they still chose to hate me when I’ve only ever been nice to them and all I ever wanted was peace and not involving them in this shit. Not “let me chat you up to see how much information I can get from you that I can use against you.” Because that how I feel people feel about me. I’ve tried confronting them on there weird behaviour but im always left feeling like im the weird one that im the one who’s acting irrational. This S character gaslights me I say “I want you to stop making me out to be the villain after I’ve told you I don’t make the rules I just follow them so I don’t lose my job” and she does it in a sly way and she says “what did I say? Huh? See I didn’t say anything, you can tell whoever you want that I’m a bitch” I I say “I will if you keep playing these games and carrying this shit forward” and she’s like “you’re the one carrying things forward” and I say “I’m going to take my 15 minute break” I go outside and call my mom upset and trying to get her to talk me down and as I go outside she immediately goes outside through the front door and then when I walk back inside she goes right back in, and the boss was right in the office and they heard all of this shit but they just tell me “oh don’t take it personal, S did the same shit to me last year” oh but now S is nice as pie to the boss and the boss gave her a ride home because she got her car taken because she’s had 3 duis in the last two years and she was caught driving with a suspended license but they still keep her there. It’s so fucked.

Other than that, well there’s a lot more but it’s 3am, so I’ll keep it brief, other than that I see on my people you may know is all the people who have absolutely despised me over the last 9 years that I have wronged in some way or we had different views on things and different personalities (it happened 5 years ago, I was going through shit that people go though so I was hot and cold with answering their texts and didn’t think before I spoke, I was always nice tho. they were all snotty anyways, but yeah once they started hating me it seemed that everyone started to hate me or pretend to be my friend but I’ve been bullied since I can remember so I wasn’t exactly well liked) but yeah these people are constantly on my people you may know and shit and it weirds me the fuck out. So that is all the real shit that has happened.
Now this is the paranoid thoughts I’m having: I’m paranoid that they’re all saying shit against me, like the ones from the past are either messaging current people I know, warning them about me and telling them to continue to slyly snub me when I have my back turned, and to continue to spread the word and eliminate all positive opportunities in my life until I give up and pull the trigger on my plans. I just think it’s really a damn shame they would do that. I’ve told these people I only have one person who I fucking love and who I need to provide for and make sure they’re okay, and they know I don’t have things easy. They know I need to be strong for my mom and they still find ways to hurt me, they still act like fake ass bitches to my face and they know I know they do it and that’s what hurts more. Because they try to personally make me feel alone in this world. But how could they know shit about my life? They know about my problems, why do they only know about my problems and not the good? Why am I still nice to these people and after one good day of treating me right I start to give them the benefit of the doubt but as soon as I do and let my guard down they immediately initiate some other tactic to psychologically hurt me and tear down my boundaries and and I tell them more about my issues and how alone I feel with it and how much the overthinking affects my ability to enjoy life.
I constantly live my life in fear. I wonder what made them hate me so much, I just pray that’s it’s all a coincidence and they don’t give a shit but it just feels off. I get bad gut feelings about it. I start to get angry. I want to install cameras in my house. I always feel watched at home. I go outside and threaten whoever is out there. Every bump in the night I believe is someone waiting for me to fall asleep. I am scared they know my Reddit. I talk to no one. The ones I trust I trust but I try not to bother them with my shit because I know it’ll drive them away and call me crazy. I have isolated myself from everyone pretty much. I feel better and I sort of feel how irrational it is but this work stuff just happened this week and I have to see these people. Idk what to do. I try to search how to se how I come across to make myself less desirable target me try to joke around and show my vulnerabilities to try and prove myself as a human to these people but I know they see it’s fake and they still chose to hate me when I’ve only ever been nice to them and all I ever wanted was peace and not involving them in this shit. Not “let me chat you up to see how much information I can get from you that I can use against you.” Because that how I feel people feel about me. I’ve tried confronting them on there weird behaviour but im always left feeling like im the weird one that im the one who’s acting irrational. This S character gaslights me I say “I want you to stop making me out to be the villain after I’ve told you I don’t make the rules I just follow them so I don’t lose my job” and she does it in a sly way and she says “what did I say? Huh? See I didn’t say anything, you can tell whoever you want that I’m a bitch” I I say “I will if you keep playing these games and carrying this shit forward” and she’s like “you’re the one carrying things forward” and I say “I’m going to take my 15 minute break” I go outside and call my mom upset and trying to get her to talk me down and as I go outside she immediately goes outside through the front door and then when I walk back inside she goes right back in, and the boss was right in the office and they heard all of this shit but they just tell me “oh don’t take it personal, S did the same shit to me last year” oh but now S is nice as pie to the boss and the boss gave her a ride home because she got her car taken because she’s had 3 duis in the last two years and she was caught driving with a suspended license but they still keep her there. It’s so fucked.

The sturdy SK-5 carbon stainless steel blade has held up exceptionally well, even after years of usage. The black Tuff-Ex finish makes it look sleek and adds an extra layer of rust protection. The handle made of Kray-Ex steel, with its distinctive black Tuff-Ex finish, is incredibly comfortable to hold and provides a great grip. The 4.75-inch long handle has the perfect size for everyday use. The Secure-Ex sheath it comes with is both practical and stylish, securely holding the knife in place during storage. However, there is one feature that deserves mention - the knife's weight. At 9 ounces, it's not too heavy, but if you're planning on carrying it in your pocket all day, you might feel its presence more than you'd expect. Overall, the Cold Steel Recon Tanto is a reliable and versatile blade that has proven itself in various situations. Its durability, sharpness, and the sleek design all contribute to its status as an essential tool for everyday use and unexpected emergencies. 🔗Top-Tier Performance and Utility Blade: Missile Strike Fixed-Blade Cross Knife in Coyote Tanhttps://preview.redd.it/mo964cfka52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d91b163d5dba219bc0f634b9fd03670e44691630 I've been using the Tops Knives Missile Strike for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say, it's been quite the companion. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can tell it's built to last. The Coyote Tan Blade has been a standout feature, as it adds a nice touch of style to the knife while also being practical for outdoor use. One thing that really stands out is the performance and durability of this knife. It's been put to the test during various tasks, from cutting through thick branches to everyday utility tasks. Each time, it's managed to hold up impressively, and I never have to worry about it failing me. However, one downside I've noticed is that the knife requires a bit of maintenance. It's recommended to hand wash the knife after each use, which can be a bit inconvenient at times. But overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. In conclusion, the Tops Knives Missile Strike has been a fantastic addition to my toolkit. Its blend of combat and utility features makes it a versatile and reliable partner for all sorts of tasks. If you're in the market for a high-quality, durable knife, this one definitely deserves a spot on your belt. 🔗Powerful Cold Steel Chaos Trench Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/ctf2rvoka52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc5a37fce60bd4868a80b746a408d44990f5095b I recently came across the Cold Steel Chaos Double Edge knife and have been using it daily for both personal protection and as a dependable tool in my work. This innovative take on the WWI trench knife is both stylish and functional, with its thick steel pommel and SK-5 high carbon blade. What stood out to me right away with this knife was the comfortable grip it provides; the D ring guard made of reinforced aluminum feels sturdy and secure in my hand. The knife's overall length of 13.5 inches might seem intimidating at first, but it actually provides a good balance between versatility and power. The thick 7.5-inch blade, available in both double edge and tanto styles, is coated with black Tuff-Ex, providing excellent corrosion resistance and increased cutting power. One of the highlights of the Cold Steel Chaos knife is its Tuff-Ex coating, which makes it perfectly suitable for everyday use in any environment. The Secure-Ex sheath it comes with is another strong point of this knife. It's designed for reliable and versatile carry with a belt loop attachment. The handle, made of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, is both sturdy and lightweight. I must say, the quality of this product is top-notch, and Cold Steel has truly outdone itself with the Chaos Double Edge knife. 🔗Reliable Full Tang Cross Knife with MOLLE Mounthttps://preview.redd.it/iy1k735la52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c09cec0f4d4bab14f88eea9b0e9d4245fbc3039 As an avid outdoorsman, I found the TRUE Fixed Blade Knife to be a reliable and versatile tool in my kit. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with its drop point design offers a solid edge and excellent retention, perfect for those who need a long-lasting knife that can handle any task. One of the highlights of this knife is its flexibility in carrying options, thanks to the molded sheath. It can be easily attached using the MOLLE system for those who rely on it for their outdoor adventures or in everyday life. The vertical belt loop also adds convenience for users who prefer carrying it on either hip. However, one aspect that could use improvement is the handle design. While it is comfortable and ergonomic, it could benefit from some texture for better grip, especially in wet conditions. Despite this, the TRUE Fixed Blade Knife remains a trusty companion that has proved useful in my daily life and outdoor activities. 🔗Compact, High-Performance Fixed Blade Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/2xd8m5fla52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf6a3300378388695c4681b0f38112c20d1c0f68 The Cold Steel 49LCKD SRK Compact Fixed Blade caught my attention when I first saw it in person. I was searching for a reliable and high-performance small knife for my daily activities. Upon getting it, the first thing that stood out was the impressive craftsmanship of the handle and blade, made from a mix of Kray-Ex and SK5. It's a perfect balance of utility and aesthetics. The blade length of 12.5 cm made it extremely convenient for everyday tasks, whereas the 145-gram weight offered just the right amount of heft. On the other hand, it is not without its shortcomings. Despite the compact size, there was some limitation in terms of handle length, making it uncomfortable for people with large hands. But overall, the Cold Steel 49LCKD SRK Compact Fixed Blade proved to be a versatile and sturdy companion, ready to take on any challenge. 🔗Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife - Versatile and Durable D2 Carbon Steel Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/bddpytsla52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b96f8e16b512b3aec08565a339c4531c664cdf5 I was recently on a camping trip and decided to bring along the Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife for some extra peace of mind. This knife, designed by Andrea Todesco, made me wonder why I hadn't been using something like this in the past. From the get-go, unsheathing it felt surprisingly tactile and well-made. It's the perfect size for various tasks, thanks to the 17.5 cm (6.89") D2 carbon steel blade that effortlessly glides through wood. Sharpening it was a breeze, and I appreciated that it retained a sharp edge even after a few hours of heavy-duty work. Now let's talk about the handle. My favorite part? The Micarta construction. It's sturdy and gives you an incredible grip, even when your hands feel like they're about to fall off after a long day of hard work. The presence of Paracord holes was a smart touch that definitely added another safety layer to the knife. The leather belt sheath that comes with the Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife is a perfect fit. It's a nice addition that gives the knife a professional look and makes it safe to transport. All in all, this rugged knife is a worthy companion for any wilderness excursion. However, I did have a little trouble with the sheath staying on when I was moving about really quickly. That aside, the Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife has absolutely earned its spot in my camping gear collection. 🔗Versatile Mora Kansbol Knife with Multi-Mount Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/c8vvwz4ma52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fe63242019f82ec780f83a698cf39c8664a493d I've recently been trekking through the wilderness with the Morakniv Kansbol, a versatile knife that truly stands up to the test. The first thing that caught my attention was its adaptability - it effortlessly transitions from a lightweight cutting tool to a robust, reliable one. The Kansbol feels like a perfect companion on the trail, ready to tackle any challenge thrown its way. One of the key highlights that really impresses me is the knife's ability to be used with a fire starter. It's such a helpful feature on those cold winter nights when all you want is to warm your hands. The knife's spine is even perfect for creating sparks with a ferro rod. Plus, the Multi-Mount feature allows for endless mounting options, and it's even MOLLE compatible. The knife's ergonomic handle has a great grip, making it ideal for those with bigger hands. But, there's one slight drawback - it's not as effective when it comes to larger and more demanding cutting tasks. In these situations, a heavier and more robust knife is better suited. Though the Kansbol weighs slightly less than its heavy-duty counterpart, its included sheath has a more positive lock and can accept the knife regardless of blade direction. The knife is made of high-quality stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, but it might not be as good for batoning as the Heavy Duty Companion. Overall, I'd recommend the Morakniv Kansbol for anyone looking for an all-round knife to bring on their outdoor adventures. Its versatility and reliability make it the perfect choice for both forest and lake activities. 🔗Danco Micro Flex Knife: Strong, Sharp, and Affordable Cross Knife with High Edge Retention and Durabilityhttps://preview.redd.it/llso4ioma52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d45f9820407bdf401d44e5bf17bd66fc3cb97993 I recently had the chance to try out the Danco 9" Lunar Micro Flex Knife, and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, I'm always on the lookout for a reliable and durable knife that can stand up to whatever I throw its way. The Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel used in this knife really sets it apart from others I've tried. What makes this steel so special? Well, it offers the perfect balance between hardness and brittleness, which is crucial for anglers dealing with game. Its superior edge retention also allowed me to keep an edge for an impressive 5-7 times longer than other knives I've used. The finer-grain structure of the Swedish steel contributes to this impressive durability, and it's great to see that Danco has managed to incorporate these unique properties into their knife. One thing that really stood out to me was the ease of blade re-sharpening. The improved edge stability and folding make this process much simpler and more efficient than I've experienced with other knives. The knife's strong, sharp, and durable design makes it a great choice for any outdoor enthusiast. And let's not forget the affordable price, which is always a plus when you're looking for a high-quality tool. In conclusion, the Danco 9" Lunar Micro Flex Knife is an excellent choice for anyone who needs a dependable and durable knife for their outdoor adventures. The exceptional edge retention, combined with the ease of blade re-sharpening, make this knife a standout among its competitors. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable option that won't let you down, this is the knife for you. 🔗Tops Knives Skullcrusher's Extensively Built Cross Knife with Black Linen Micarta Handlehttps://preview.redd.it/uja8k74na52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a04f6c22de21cb0eb3425367434ca5fe7c77b46 A few days ago, I found myself in the great outdoors, equipped with only this Tops Knives Skullcrusher's Extreme Sidekick Fixed Blade Knife. The 5.25in 1095 RC 56-58 steel blade was sharp enough to handle any task thrown my way, from carving through wood to preparing a hearty campfire meal. The black linen micarta handle, with its comfortable, textured grip, made it easy to securely hold onto, even during the most grueling activities. The blade's sawback configuration also proved useful in various cutting tasks, going beyond the scope of a typical fixed blade. The black Kydex belt sheath is a well-designed inclusion, providing a secure way to keep this knife close when not in use. However, I did notice the blade tang could be slightly thicker for a more snug fit within the sheath. Nonetheless, the hand-finished build and the knowledge that this knife was made right here in the USA made this experience all the more satisfying. 🔗Frost Hawk Guardian Cross Knife with Bone Handle and Brown Leather Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/7c1pukdna52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89c8ab4eaf1a769ddfcb6fe97775b3ab8eed6f45 The Frost CW886TB Hawk Guardian is a striking addition to any knife collection. The 12-inch overall length and a 7-inch satin finish stainless blade make it a versatile tool for various tasks. The torched bone handle provides a comfortable grip, while the brass guard and pommel add a touch of elegance. The pakkawood spacers and brown leather belt sheath complete the package, giving it a refined and polished look. However, I did notice that the locking mechanism isn't as smooth as I would have preferred, and the blade sharpening could be a bit tricky due to its unique design. Overall, the Frost CW886TB Hawk Guardian is an eye-catching piece that offers a combination of form and function. 🔗Kasumi Dia Cross 6" Zaku Giri Knife: High-Quality Stainless Steel Blade for Every Chef's Kitchenhttps://preview.redd.it/weggy8vna52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4783fd37b8f4d141998baf075089456e52399ea Kasumi's DIA Cross Zaku Giri Knife, a masterpiece hailing from the land of the rising sun - Japan, has become my go-to kitchen companion. Crafted with the finest molybednum vanadium steel for the blade and 18-8 stainless steel for the handle, it exudes an elegant durability that adds a touch of professionalism to any chef's kitchen. The sturdy grip, although a bit heavy for some, fits perfectly in my palm and keeps the knife from slipping during use. It might need a little extra effort to clean after every use, but the hand-wash-only instructions ensure the blade stays sharp and corrosion-free. Overall, this Zaku Giri Knife is a must-have for any serious cook, with its sturdy design, premium craftsmanship, and satisfying sharpness. 🔗Kershaw Federalist USA-Made Slipjoint Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/16alt3hoa52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90aef5e4f0b0409aee4f55fa1d6fe78e0be2f9ee The Kershaw Federalist, a slipjoint designed to pay tribute to the American spirit, is a versatile and sturdy tool. Its non-locking nature makes it unique while still providing a reliable edge for various tasks. The double-detent system holds the blade in place and ensures controlled opening and closing, making it a safe choice for users. The green micarta handle with its canvas texture feels satisfying and offers durability, complemented by the distinct aesthetic. The full flat grind, ultra-slicey blade glides through tasks effortlessly, and it's made of CPM 154 powdered metallurgy, ensuring an edge that retains its sharpness and resists corrosion and wear. A lanyard hole, a custom pivot that forms a shield detail, and a backspacer add to the knife's unique appeal. Though I've not encountered any specific drawbacks in my experience with the Federalist, I'm certain the positive aspects make it a worthwhile investment.

2024.05.23 11:22 domeafabour Can’t find a job no matter what I do
So we’re in a bit of a job crisis where I live. Im thinking it’s the whole country based on everything I’ve seen. I’m 19, I’ve been looking for a job for about 7 months. I’ve never had an interview much less a call back. Kinda feeling stuck and hopeless. Based on my understanding, it won’t get better as there’s many other young adults and teens in the same position as me who’s been looking for months and also can’t find a job. It doesn’t help that there’s 3000 applicants for a single position. I really wanted to find a job so I can save up and go to school but now idk what else I can do. The job crisis, I’ve heard is a result of new comers coming here and they get hired over citizens and there’s about 100k immigrants entering the country per month and less jobs so I’m already aware I’m screwed. I literally don’t know what else to do. So I need some advice on what I can and should do. Honestly, the fixing of my resume, going in person to drop my resume off, calling to check the status of my application doesn’t work. I don’t even know what I haven’t tried yet. I’ll call agencies or even companies I applied to and the call goes straight to voicemail and says I can leave a message but it’s usually full and just ends the call. I just feel so stuck and like my life is going absolutely nowhere. I don’t want to turn 20 and still unemployed. I really need advice and anything is appreciated.

 | Disclaimer: I'm a VGC noob (and the same is true for competitive pokèmon in general tbh) so take everything I say with a grain of salt. Also, there's gonna be some rambling at the beginning of the post, if you don't care just skip ahead to the team. submitted by LowPassV to VGC [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/iel2k3rk952d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=017d05dc8aa9381f7ddc72445fb90658f165488e I've mostly played GSC back in the days, so it's probably not gonna be a surprise when I say that I tend to favor grindier teams over hyper offense and all that kinda stuff. I've also played some Gen5 (I think?) UU on showdown, but that was pretty much it as far as my experience went. I still somewhat followed the new stuff being released in the games, despite not playing them, and played hardcore mode Radical Red, which definitely helped with getting up to pace with some of the new stuff. Fast forward a bunch of years I bought Violet, my first Pokèmon game in 20 years, finished the main game and didn't do much after that, I didn't even catch the treasure of ruins (Not even Wo-Chien!). It wasn't until the 2nd DLC was released that I picked it up again. Too bad I had no idea about how to play doubles, so I went on youtube and at some point stumbled upon a video of Wolfe Glick's recap of a tournament where he went in depth on some of his choices. As a long time competitive player in another game, I was quite impressed by the attention to detail involved into making his pokemon slower so that after getting hit by a Bleakwind Storm he could still guarantee a correct moving order under trick room. I learned a few things about doubles, built a mono steel team for the DLC, played it with a level cap and it was a fun experience. I didn't seriously start considering playing VGC until regulation G was announced, though, mostly because of Lugia being legal. I've had a soft spot for Lugia since catching it in Pokèmon Silver and I have fond memories of sweeping with Curse Lugia in GSC. When regulation G was finally released I opened Showdown and started brewing. The team https://preview.redd.it/kf4dpdjfa52d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c222e91121258930115dd29f0347ec7af69a061b https://pokepast.es/134e1dd0b83e092b Rental Code: NTC5BH They told me stall was not a thing in VGC. They were right, but I wasn't exactly trying to be competitive, so I just went with it. Calm Mind Lugia was my starting point. With those defenses in addition to multiscale it can tank some ridiculous stuff. After a Calm Mind it can tank the vast majority of the special hits coming his way. It can be a bit passive, so I made sure to invest in enough special attack. Steel is an awesome defensive type and covers a lot of lugia's normal weaknesses. It's often enough to gain one turn to recover some health back and stabilize. Next I wanted something that could heal Lugia. I've seen some teams playing Comfey, but it looks like a one trick pony with little utility beside healing Lugia. I then looked into Amoongus, which is obviously very good, but didn't quite feel right in the first games with this team. Among the other Pollen Puff users I noticed Wo-Chien. I was aware of his meme status, but it seemed to fit exactly what I needed, with an added bonus: its ability. Lugia can get close to untouchable pretty quickly on the special side, but it has no way to increase its physical defense. In comes Wo-Chien, which makes Lugia immediately stronger on the physical side. Snarl + Calm Mind is brutal against special attackers and Foul Play is very useful in some specific spots (mostly Calyrex-I). I was running Sitrus Berry + Protect at first, but Assault Vest makes Wo-Chien really tanky. It can be a bit of a tera hog, but it's a crucial member of this team. Years ago I thought Toxapex looked really bad and didn't care for it. It wasn't until I played with it in Radical Red that it became one of my favourites and I was happy to include it here. Wide Guard looks strong in a metagame dominated by Calyrex and Terapagos, Toxic gives a much needed win condition against defensive threats that I don't have enough offensive power for, Haze is nice utility (and very good versus Dondozo) and Icy wind is a useful filler move. I started with tera poison Black sludge, but I like rocky helmet better (urshifu W being one of the reasons). Tera bug over grass because I already have a bunch of ice weaknesses and Bug still resists ground. Heatran earned its place as a check to groudon (with tera grass+flash fire), which was very popular at the start of the format. I stuck with it even as groudon's meta share went down, as it's just a solid mon. Tera grass is also good against amoongus's spore: if i expect lead Amoongus I have the option of either going with Sableye or Heatran + Wo-Chien and tera grass right away. I was thinking about going tera bug + Safety Goggles, to preserve the spore immunity while adding a resistance to collision course, but grass allows heatran to resist surging strikes and burn urshifu with will-o-wisp. At this point I wanted some offensive presence without giving up bulk, Landorus-T looked like a reasonable choice thanks to Intimidate. It didn't quite work the way I wanted until very late in the team building, when I added Earthquake. It's not always trivial to make EQ work, but it hits so hard. Toxapex has wide guard, Heatran has protect, Lugia a ground Immunity and Sableye isn't supposed to stick around anyway after setting the screens. Water defensive tera helps in some specific matchups. I considered Tera Blast, but I couldn't justify using a slot on it. I've lead multiple times Heatran + Lando versus Miraidon and go Protect+EQ. If they Volt Switch you pretty much win right there, if they Draco you get to bring Lugia in on a -2 Miraidon locked into Draco, get a couple of Calm Mind boosts and tera steel when Miraidon comes back. It can be exploited, but it's worked many times. Sableye was the last addition, replacing the Flutter Mane I used the most while building the team. Taunt is very much needed on this kind of team and priority screens help Lugia while it sets up. I've used WoW over Reflect for a while, but there were too many instances were Wow just couldn't do enough. Fake Out makes dealing with stong offensive threats a bit easier (Urshifu, Koraidon and so on). This moveset could be used by Grimmsnarl, but Sableye has been working well for one weird reason: it has worse bulk. You don't really want it to stick around too much after setting up the screen(s), if it faints you get a switch with screens still up without losing momentum. Landorus's Earthquake helps with it, too. You get your screen, then EQ deals some damage and makes Sableye faint, allowing you to bring in Lugia or whoever else while screens are up. Fighting immunity can also be relevant in some corner cases (collision course, final gambit). Tera ground helps trap Miraidon who tries to volt switch into Sableye to escape Lando's EQ. Sableye is not supposed to take hits anyway, might as well have a tera with an immunity. So this is the team, it has some flaws and some threats it struggles with, but overall it performed way better than I'd have ever expected (specially considering how much stuff I didn't know at first). It most likely isn't playable in a serious tournament, but it looks fine for ladder (peaked in the low 1600's on showdown)and I genuinely had a lot of fun with it. Hope some other stall aficionado enjoys it! |
2024.05.23 11:20 cleopatraboudicca Terrified of losing my identity as FTM
I'm a about to be a one and done ftm. I've put off motherhood for a long time, partially due to fearing a loss of identity/people's expectations that you forget about who you were before and just turn into a mombie. I've always hated.'mummy culture', the idea of mummy Facebook groups and meetups and although I'll give those a try I am pretty certain I won't enjoy it.
I understand that becoming a mother is HUGE and of course there will be some major changes and sacrifices that I will have/already have made. I am trying to mitigate this whole new phase in life completely taking over by listening to my intuition and sticking to my boundaries. But the idea that I will be a completely different person with nothing else to talk about besides my child frightens me.
Wondering how others have held on to their identity through their motherhood journey and hoping for some positive/inspiring stories.

2024.05.23 11:16 MarcoTalin Best of the Super Juniors 31 B Block Standings as of May 22 (3 B Block shows left)
Hello
We're back with another black standing analysis post. This time, it's B Block's turn for a look-see.
There have been quite a few developments over in B Block, both inside and outside the ring. My heartfelt well-wishes go out to Francesco Akira. I hope you recover quickly and completely. However, his exit from the BOSJ has changed the landscape of B Block considerably. It's not quite as flat as A Block is, and we've seen a contention elimination even before this past show, but nonetheless there's still a lot to be said, so I'll say it all.
First, a bit of admin. Usually, I don't start looking at ties until the 2nd last day. However, because of the forfeit results for Akira's remaining matches, my dataset has shrunk just enough to start taking draw results into account for the odds in this post, so do note that those are included. However, I still won't be going into detail on ties until the next post.
Also, I'm making a change to my draw calculations. For this tournament, I'll be giving draw results for each match a half weight in each person's chances of winning, so the more ties a certain outcome will need, the less weight it'll hold in the final number. For those of you who don't care about the math and just care about the number, it means that a person will have a lower number if they rely too much on draws to qualify.
Lastly, as usual, you may also view my BOSJ 31 results summary page here. I'm manually updating it as we go along the tournament. It contains the schedule of the matches, results, and a summary of the top 20 best matches of the tournament (based on CageMatch Ratings).
With all that out of the way, let's have a look at the standings
Like I said, we've already had some contention eliminations in B Block, and the field isn't as flat as A Block's (1 10-point difference between the top and bottom of the block, vs A Block's 4-point difference). However, there are still 7 guys with 8 points and above, but even that isn't as level as it may seem. What do I mean? Well, let's get into it, starting with our sole block leader ...
Even disregarding the gimme from Akira, Eagles would still be in a strong position. He has a number of strong wins over current top contenders, and only a single loss of consequence, which isn't terrible in a format that takes the top two winners. The forfeit win also means that he has less matches left to worry about, so that's both less physical strain on himself and less variability in his chances. Overall, Akira dropping out was a good thing for Eagles.
All Eagles has to worry about now are his two remaining matches. However, they will not be easy. Up next will be a real test as he takes on Hiromu Takahashi on the next show. After that battle, he'll have a bit of a break before facing Douki on the last day of B Block competition. Can Eagles make his first journey past the block phase of a BOSJ? He'll have to beat some tough opponents in the next week to do it, but he's pretty damn close.
But where will that victory have to come from? Well, his next two opportunities will come from Bullet Club brothers. He takes on the War Dogs' Drilla Moloney on the 26th, and House of Torture's Sho on the 28th. These all-Bullet Club matches don't tend to go too hard, but they are also incredibly unpredictable, so anything goes for Ishimori. Lastly, he'll have to take on his perennial rival here in New Japan for his final match: Hiromu Takahashi. It's a funky final phase for Ishimori, but he certainly has the tools to make it through. It's just a matter of putting it all together, and Ishimori can make it out of the blocks for the first time since 2018.
So who does that mean for Kushida? Well, because he's dealt with most of the top of this block, his last few matches will be against relatively low-performing wrestlers. The only 8-pointer he has yet to face is Douki, and that'll happen on the 28th, while his other two matches will be against people at the bottom of the block: Ninja Mack on the 26th and Dragon Dia on the 31st. It seems like an easier road than some of the others, but wild things can happen in the final days of these tournaments. Kushida better be careful, lest he gets spoiled.
If he wants big wins, though, he'll certainly have the opportunity to get them, because his next two matches will be doozies. First up is Hiromu on the 26th, followed by Ishimori on the 28th. If he can win both of those matches, He's pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs. After that, he'll just have to wrap up his tournament against the crowd favorite Ninja Mack.
So you know what that means? That's right. It means that he'll be having a gauntlet for his final stretch of matches, with all of them being against current contenders. It'll be Robbie Eagles on the 26th, Drilla Moloney on the 28th, and Taiji Ishimori on the 31st. He's had prior history with all of them, and they've all been in top form this tournament, so he's got his work cut out for him in the toughest final matches of the Block. Do you believe in Hiromu?
So what does Douki have to do to hit 12? Well, first he has a long break from tournament competition, as he was supposed to face Akira on the next show. Instead, his next tournament match will be against Kushida on the 28th, followed by Robbie Eagles on the last day. It'll be a technical test of Douki's skills. Will he pass the exam, or will Douki Chokey?
As for himself, he needs to stay on track. His next match will be against the winless Dragon Dia, so that should be a very winnable match for him. After that, he closes his tournament early, because his final match was supposed to be against Akira on the final block day. Instead, his final block match will be against Taiji Ishimori on the 28th. We'll see if Sho can climb out of this hole he's dug for himself.
His remaining matches will still certainly be spectacles, though, I'm sure. Kushida on the 26th, Dragon Dia on the 28th, and Drilla Moloney on the 31st. Regardless of how it turns out, though, Ninja Mack has certainly caught eyes from around the world, so at the very least, he'll have that to take away from the tournament.
His next matches aren't too momentous, as he faces two guys in the bottom of the block. That being said, if he can win his next match against the IWGP Jr. Champion Sho, then that may make this whole journey worth it. After that will be Ninja Mack, who's hanging by a thread himself and will likely be eliminated from contention by that point. However, his final match against Kushida may be his biggest opportunity left. If he can prove himself against a former ace of New Japan's Junior division, it would be a huge deal for him. Let's see if he can do it.
That'll be all for this post. I'll be rounding up the A Block summary for this past show shortly. Fortunately, we have a bit of a break until the next show, so I'll have some time to breath.
Until then, thanks for reading! See you next post.

What's Next?
The next show will be another double-block day for the BOSJ. With Akira out, only 4 B Block matches are scheduled for the show. the biggest ones will be the top 2, as they feature guys very much still in contention. The first is Ishimori vs Moloney, who are practically neck-and-neck in this race, and the second is Hiromu vs Eagles, the ace vs the block leader. We'll also have Kushida vs Ninja Mack and Sho vs Dragon Dia in a pari fo 8-pointer vs outsider matches. Can Robbie extend his lead, or will there be a massive pile-up at the 10-point mark? A lot can go down for B Block on this next show.That'll be all for this post. I'll be rounding up the A Block summary for this past show shortly. Fortunately, we have a bit of a break until the next show, so I'll have some time to breath.
Until then, thanks for reading! See you next post.

This is a chance for President Joe Biden to show obligation to Africa when Washington has all the earmarks of being playing get up to speed in its commitment with the mainland. US and Kenyan Presidents Meet TogetherBe that as it may, relations with other African partners are under strain, as essential opponents including Russia and China challenge conventional areas of Western impact.At one time Mr Ruto would have been an impossible contender to be feted at the White House with the grandeur and function conceded to just a small bunch of close partners a year. Waiting doubts about his vote-based certifications are not the explanation that Congress ruled against welcoming him to address a joint meeting, says US representative to Kenya, Meg Whitman. Supposedly, it is a planning issue. Ms Whitman, a previous Chief of organizations like eBay and Hewlett Packard Undertakings, is a boss of Kenya and its venture potential as a tech center point, the purported Silicon Savannah. A gathering of almost 100 tech laborers from Kenya composed a letter to President Biden in front of Thursday’s Kenya state supper at the White House, encouraging him to end “cutting edge bondage” in the country’s tech area. The writers of the letter function as information labelers, content arbitrators, and man-made consciousness (artificial intelligence) laborers for American organizations like Meta’s Facebook, ScaleAI, and OpenAI. U.S. President Joe Biden said he intends to make an authority visit to Africa in February after the U.S. official political decision, a declaration that assumed he will overcome Donald Trump. Senior organization authorities said Biden and Ruto would examine a scope of issues from exchange to obligation help and the way forward for Haiti, Ukraine, Sudan, and different regions. Biden hung the possibility of an outing to Angola during an Oval Office meeting with his Angolan partner, Joao Lourenco, in late November, even though he didn’t determine when the gathering would occur. Public safety guide Jake Sullivan prior let journalists know that Biden anticipated visiting Africa and expected to do as such as the leader of the US.

2024.05.23 11:10 Jewbacca289 Tournament Multiway Hand Review
ACR Tournament. Either just on the bubble or just in the money. Have the 10th largest stack with 15-20 people remaining. Payout for 14-18 is 1.5 buyins, 10th is 2.5 buyins, 1st is 33 buyins.
8 handed table. UTG with TdTs with 33 BB. Open to 2 BB. UTG + 2 calls, HJ calls, BB calls. Pot is 9.5 BB
Flop comes JhTh8d. UTG bets about 3BB. UTG+2 and HJ call. Both have my stack covered. Pot is 19 BB.
Turn is 9s. UTG+2 bets 6 BB. UTG calls HJ folds. Pot is about 38 BB.
River is 5d. UTG+2 bets 18 BB. UTG folds.
My initial thoughts are that I could've bet larger on the flop. I recalled someone saying that multiway the bet sizings get smaller for both bluffs and value bets (is/why is this true?) so I went to my default 1/3 sizing. However, there are a lot of draws available that I want to be charging as much as I can get.
On the turn, I feel like I'm pretty clearly behind but I have 10 outs and I'm paying 6BB to win 32BB so from a cash game player's perspective, I've got the right price even before taking implied odds into consideration. However, tournament payout structure might change that consideration.
On the river, this feels like a clear fold. Two pair isn't going for value, missed flush draws don't want to bet particularly on a board with 4 to a straight.

If you are setting up a Mac for a less technically advanced user or if you just want a simplified but powerful firewall with pre-configured rules and an easy setup, Lockdown Privacy Desktop and its companion iOS app Lockdown Privacy Ad blocker VPN do a great job on both platforms. I'm not recommending the paid VPN though because there are better and cheaper choices out there.
Little Snitch is a more powerful option, cost $59 and requires technical know how to get it working correctly. Likewise, Lulu, while free and open source also needs something more than basic skills to configure correctly.
Lockdown Privacy Desktop is certified by the Openly Operated Foundation and every aspect of its code and the company behind it is subject to independant auditors and public proof. The developers behind the app include former iApple iCloud engineer Johnny Lin.
The preconfigured rules block the following:
