2023.03.30 00:23 Aware-Material507 A Robotic Hivemind for a Dungeon 7
First Previous
My drones file into the building without much hassle and they are immediately faced with piles of destroyed drones, many of which were reduced to clumps of slag. What happened here?
The room was similar in size and contents to the storage room asides from the robot corpses and scorch marks. Looking through the various containers and finding nothing of interest my scouts hesitantly look for further avenues of exploration and seeing that the doors are blocked by large piles of rubble, move to a broken air vent on the ceiling.
Continuing through the vents my drones quickly find a chasm in the path, which has split the vent in two. Seeing no way to get to the other half of the vent I look down and spot a pile of crates stacked under me. Dropping down I scan across the room and find a door to the left and a large boxy machine the size of a tipped-over fridge with a conveyor section on one of its sides on the right. Scurrying towards the box I look further and find that the machine has its guts ripped out of the back and some of those same scorch marks near the edges of the broken plates.
Then a description makes itself known.
"The Medium Drone Works is the bigger brother of the Small Drone Works and can produce larger drones along with the smaller ones, although at less efficiency. However, with larger capabilities comes with a price of requiring a source of outside power to function, unlike the Snall Drone Works which relies on internal power collection via renewable sources."
One of the rat drones moves up to the drone works and a light flashes from its eyes as it seems to scan the husk of a machine. Then I get a notification that a "New blueprint discovered"
Huh the rats can scan things. Convenient. Although how am I to find power for that thing? Maybe I'll stumble upon a generator or something.
Continuing to the door my drones peer into another room with a stairwell on the right-hand side moving up the to next floor. However, in the center of the large room was a single robot sitting down with its legs crossed and head tilted downwards. Around the bot were various destroyed drones, most of which were melted into heaps of warped metal. I get an uneasy feeling in my gut as I watch the robot for any signs of life.
Finding none I send one of the scouts to poke the robot while my others get ready to book it if nessicary. And it was because right as the poor guy moves past the circle of dead drones the robot snaps to life and twists itself towards the defenseless drone.
Without pause, the bot extends its upper appendages and an ember appears in front of it. I immediately order all drones to run back but the sacrificial one does not make it as they get vaporized by the uncaring flames.
My drones rush up the crates and up into the vent they came from and scurried back to base as I returned to my "normal" point of view.
Well that is of great concern. I definitely can't take that thing on even if I had all of my drones available. Maybe I could do it once I make some of those big ants but they have to ambush the bot since they are supposedly slow and would probably get burnt to a crisp before they could reach the darn thing.
For now, I banned my scouts from going anywhere near that place, to which they were happy to oblige, and started production on a replacement for them. And with that, I move over to check on the core and GW-3N.
Looking over, GW-3N seems to be making themselves busy by helping my drones throw scrap into the refinery. How nice of them.
The drones are making the finishing touches to the core and it will only take a dozen more minutes. With that in mind I pull off one of the drones so that they can start building the new production plant.
Let's hope that thing doesn't come anywhere over here.

2023.03.30 00:22 Bren_Silet Conflict points … Morality … But What About Other Rewards for ‘Good’ Conflict..?
I love FFG Star Wars game system. The narrative dice in this system have rejuvenated my love for gaming. So all know, I am not throwing shade at this system. Not by any means!
However, I am a long time veteran of the old West End Games D6 system and I loved the heck out of that system for decades.
One of the coolest aspects of WEG D6 was in their 2nd edition with “Character Points.” [Quick review for those who have forgotten or not familiar: Character Points were essentially experience points that could be spent like traditional XP points for raising skills. OR, a player could elect to BANK the Character Points and then use them in a following session for those ‘key critical MUST SUCCEED’ rolls. In that case, a player could look at unspent Character Points and tell the GM: “Hey, I really need to shoot that bounty hunter - if I don’t X, Y and Z will happen! So, I will throw 3 Character Points at this next Blaster skill check and hope I can beat the difficulty…”. Player gathers the dice for his Blaster skill and then ADDS ONE extra D6 for every Character Point he declared spending and rolls the whole mess of dice to see if he surpassed the difficulty…]
This was cool in that players could push their characters past their limits in a super-stressful situation / key moment in the game session.
It gave the players hope for success in near-impossible circumstances. It also gave the player a sense of affecting the story in a critical moment by choosing how to spend their game resources [the Character Points awarded as XP at the end of every session].
And, there was also the WEG D6 system’s approach to “Force Points.” You were given one at character creation and encouraged to spend that point in key moments to save the beautiful Princess, etc. And if the GM felt you were appropriately ‘heroic’, then you would likely get your Force Point BACK and likely a chance to earn an ADDITIONAL.
Anyways, with all of this floating in the back of my mind, I was reading the Force & Destiny Core Rulebook and was in the GM Chapter when I got to table 9.2 Common Conflict Point Penalties on page 324. And it got me thinking: “Makes sense to assign Conflict to PCs when they do bad things. But … what about when they do REALLY REALLY COOL HEROIC things…?!?!”
I know, I know. This is Star Wars. Of course they are doing COOL HEROIC things all the time! [Unless you are running a Dark Side / Imperial / ISB campaign - but that is a whole different thread…]
What about when a PC goes out of his way and risks his neck to save an NPC child from a band of ruthless slavers…? That is just part of the story, right? Right. But what if the GM rewarded that exceptional heroism…?
More XP? Sure. Cool gear? Sure. Those are all legit ways to reward cool role playing. But what about exceptional ‘heroism’…? And this doesn’t have to be limited to ‘Jedi-types’ but to any PC doing the cool, life-risking movie cinematic moments that make the stories so fun and so fulfilling to play.
What about rewarding that player with … a blue dice or three…? :)
That the player could “pool” and save on his character sheet to be spent in that NEXT key, MUST WIN moment…? JUST LIKE WEG D6 “character points” to be pulled out at that climactic “got to hit the evil Sith Lord” moment…?
Some say FFG already has this problem solved with the Destiny Points being flipped. Well….not always. I know I have spent a Destiny Point, rolled and still failed spectacularly. But, a few extra Blue Dice / Boost Dice could have changed the outcome for the better…
TL;DR Anyway, this was a thought I had: combining some of the Character Point mechanics from WEG D6 and trying them out in FFG Star Wars.
Let me know your thoughts. And, thanking you all ahead of time for your thoughtful responses and feedback.

2023.03.30 00:22 puupon1 Growth/soft bump on tongue 23M
Hi all I am a former smoker and I drink quite a bit. About a year ago I had a discomfort in the back right side of my tongue. Near the lingual tonsils, it’s felt like something stuck there/ itching/ burning on occasion. I’ve seen a growth and have had it checked out but no one seems to be able to give me a definite answer. I have 3 photos on another one of my posts in askdentists please help me to identify what this could be!

This morning I picked up a cat on rt 33 near the cemetery. She had been hit by a car. My husband and I rushed her to Anicira vet center. She is alive and has been stabilized. She is probably 6-12 months old. Gray and white and recently been spayed. She is beautiful and looked well cared for. She is at Anicira. If you know anything please let me know. I can be contacted or the vet center. Thanks!

2023.03.30 00:19 veronica_____ Wrong items in order
Hi- ordered a pretty large package last week and got it delivered today. The items inside were not at all what I ordered and don’t come near the money I spent on my actual order. I called customer service and they told me they would be sending out my actual order and confirmation email to go with it, but I haven’t gotten the confirmation email yet. Should I call again and ask? Do I have to return the wrong items they sent me? Is it easier to do this all in store? Does anyone else have wrong order experiences/how did they work out for you guys? Thanks so much

2023.03.30 00:19 sunflower_1970 Psych NP I saw for years now not returning my calls.
For the past 2 and a half years I've dealt with chronic neurological and physical health issues without a known cause, but began a few weeks into being back on Lexapro. The NP I saw since 2014 for medication management dropped me as a client after I told them I stopped the Lexapro due to the sudden illness, refusing to treat me until I saw a therapist, and then refused to see me even after that, saying I had agreed with her I should see somebody locally, even though I don't remember doing that at all. My entire story is explained here. I tried filing complaints to both the regulatory boards in RI and Texas, but neither did anything, and law firms I talked to never gave me a clear answer, but seemed to imply it'd be very hard to have a legal case against her. I've asked on here too and it seems like a medmal case would be near impossible, but if anybody else is willing to give advice I'd appreciate it.
Besides that, one of the few silver linings is that I was able to get *most* of my records from this NP recently. I called her in February, talked to her on the phone, and she sent me what seems like 95% of all records she has of me. I was worried she'd refuse, but she actually did it. I had to fill out the release form myself, as in create a release form myself specifying what I wanted, which seemed very bootleg, but as I mention in the linked post, it turns out this NP literally works by herself out of her house in some weird telehealth practice. Very weird, and I regret seeing them for as long as I did. They used to live in Rhode Island, but moved to Texas.
However, the June 2020 appointment I mention in the linked post where I was refused a medication refill isn't recorded, and there's no record of discharge. There also seems to be some appointments in 2018/2019 missing that were over the phone, but possibly not. The June 2020 appointment is completely not recorded, though.
I called the NP regarding this, and was only sent a letter in the mail saying all records were given. I've left a few voicemails over the past 3 weeks or so asking for them to call me back, and I'm getting nothing. They haven't left a voicemail, nothing from them. They're most likely intentionally ignoring my calls. I feel they know I filed complaints against them, and now want to have nothing to do with me after getting what they believe they are legally required delivered to me.
I filed a complaint with HHS, as it may be a HIPAA violation, and they cite HIPAA on their website.
Does anybody here have any advice at all regarding the records issue, or with my general situation? I feel so stupid for going to this weird NP running a skeevy telehealth practice. When she lived in my town, she was actually nice and fine, but I should have seen somebody else when she left, but I was apathetic and complacent. I'm still really bitter she gets away with what she did, I am now almost 3 years dealing with these health issues. It's really awful.

2023.03.30 00:19 LuddeMeister2 fo76 meta is scuffed
it might just be me but man i hate the current meta in fo76, unlike fo4 power armor and heavy weapons are no longer a choice, its a must.
Problems
if you like pistols or rifles all the enemies become bullet spunges as you level up, this also leads to another flaw with pistols and rifles the ammo consumtion is too high, you will have to always roam the wasteland with less then optimal ammo for a dungeon/boss battle. i find myself more often than not just avoiding encounters on my travels because the ammo price is too high(ammo scuoncher dont give nearly enough ammo), this would be a great feature in a more hardcore apocalypce game but i dont think it fits as well in the lighthearted fallout.
the armor problem is a bit better but not much, in fo4 if you chosen the right skills you could easly take on a deathclaw in leather armor and take a cuple of hits in process. in fo 76 it takes way less to kill the player outside power armor. i know the game lacks a diffculty setting so its always set over normal, but in fo4 you could still die to the deathclaw in concord if you was rekless on higher diffcultys, in fo76 you can easly tank a cuple of hits before you start to worry.
Problem Summary
non heavy weapons are underpowered and just a waste of ammo/resoreses, power armor is over powered and makes all other kind of armor under powered
Possible sulotion to problems
if the devs buffed the dmg of pistols and rifles a bit and made the ammo less rare to find (hate it but they could speed up the reload animations) it would probly solve some of the problems, new perkcards would also be necessery or buff the existing ones to lessen the gap between heavy and non-heavy weapons, the heavy weapons should still have more dps due to their weight.
power armor should be "a bit" harder to find (and maybe slighty nerfed), the normal higher teir armor should be buffed "a bit" to lessen the gap.
lower the overall diffeculty a bit, the early game is a blast but the more you level up the more of a choire it gets.
personal notes
as the game is right now it hinders the roleplay that bethesda is known for and i think this might turn away new players, and in turn killing the game. without a playerbase the games servers will be shutdown and fo76 lacks a singelplayer so when the servers die the game does too. i like fo 76 and therfore play it, i like it enough see the flaws.
Summary
the game is too hard without powerarmor and heavy weapons and things need to get buffed and nerfed to make new players stay.

Additional Info: I didnt grow up with the political family side. We were outcasts for a majority of my mom's life until my grandma died and we moved back to our hometown. We never received aid or help from them.
I come from a political family pero political days are over. My family or the "old family" had a dynasty over a city somewhere north pero it stopped with my Lolo.
Delusional na tong si Lolo na he thinks he's still a Mayor even if it was 40 years ago. He thinks may kapit pa rin siya and may power padin. I quit my job a year ago because of mental stress and had the savings to back up my therapy without needing any financial aid from my family.
Insert Lolo after 3 months of pagiging tambay, he offered to get me a permanent position sa munisipyo para daw hindi na ko mastress and malapit lang samin. Of course I accepted it kasi I always wanted a permanent position in local gov lalo kung samin lang. The position never came lol. Basically he called the Mayor and the mayor promised him daw a position for me but it's been months and all of the permanent positions were filled. It was fine with me, it wasn't really a part of my plan naman and I just accepted it as a bonus if ever I got it.
A month ago, I started applying for national gov positions kasi I was ready to go to work again. I finally got hired by one and I was more than ecstatic kasi it was a permanent position and I would also be working near my hometown about a 10 minute drive lang.
Dito napasok yung galit ko.
After hearing the news that I got the job, Lolo wouldn't stop fucking calling me every day to micromanage my life. Ganito daw gawin kasi political position na ito, ganyan ganon makinig daw sa kanya kasi ilang taon siyang mayor. I am so fucking pissed, this mf didn't call at all nung time na depressed ako pero now that I'm "holding power kasi national government agency (his words) he thinks he can start befriending me and treat me as his favorite apo.
Eto yung kicker and dito ako nagalit, he starts telling everyone that I got the job because of him. I confronted him about it but he told me that it was to make our family stronger kasi people will still believe he has power to pull strings at national level. I shrugged it off just letting him do what he wants. I don't really care as long as noone asks me kasi I'll tell the truth.
We had an argument like last week about something he wanted me to do and I was tired at nasagot ko na siya to stop trying to order me around. He starts going on a rant about how ungrateful I am and how I wouldn't have a job without him.
Tangina minsan ng mga kamaganak natin e no? Baliw na amputa.

Hello, I'm posting for the first time here. I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment. Let me explain...
I was getting about 38/39 hours a week at my current job. Now, I've been cut about 8 or more hours per week. It really sucks bc I need full time hours... And bc I'm pregnant I have more bills to pay. So, I was doing my research about Paid Family Leave and I'm happy to say I don't have to technically stay with this company to receive the Paid Family Leave, I just have to keep working and making a certain amount each quarter. So, I did recently have a job interview before I got the news before I got the news from my current employer about hours being cut... The job interviewed for is a lil further away, by about 5-10 minutes, and has better insurance. I'm not sure why I'm so nervous but I feel like if I get the job I interviewed for I should take it... It would be a solid 40 hours, better health insurance, and would not effect my Paid Family Leave. Can anyone here please give me some insights on whether staying OR leaving was the best option?
I'm just so anxious and downright bummed that my current job is making me more broke.. also, current job I'm employed at my not last as a company, in general. Things aren't looking too hot for this company in the near future.
I appreciate any and all advice ❤️

So I've had experiences with both vc and no vc teamates. And let me say that having teamates in vc is more entertaining and has less risk of tk since we will constantly ask for position and confirm ID of each other so much easier.
Now as far as I gathered, the only reason for vc not being in War Thunder is to avoid people annoying others with "political discussions" which I just don't understand. I mean they can put a mute function on the game if that really is a problem.
For me it helps confirm ID, give a good picture of the fight, and would most definitely make Sim Battle a lot more strategic, realistic, and coordinated. While yes we can be somewhat strategic of you're on keyboard and mouse, console players can't communicate nearly as well and we would still have the problem of some people not seeing the chat since they're in a fight.
Go ahead and give me your thoughts on it.

2023.03.30 00:16 Acid_Traffik Karma finally makes it’s way back around.
One of those old houses is going on the market next week. Due to the structure of the deal, I’m set to receive just over $70,000 for little more than helping with the move. Something for me to “get myself on solid ground” as I was told. A little concession for putting so much time and money, and effort into our old home.
This was essentially the plan all along with you. I know, and I fully understand that it must have seemed like near-delusional wishful thinking on my part at the time. But as well as the “nest egg” I had always talked about wanting… just as I had talked about; the moment all this is said and done, I’m going to use some of that money to get our house into decent shape, and sell that too.
By this time next year, if everything goes smoothly; I’ll have gone from where you left me… broken, out of the best paying job I’d ever had, and ready to die… to having enough of a cushion underneath me that I can live and give the life that I had always wanted to have with you- to myself and my son.
I have no allusions of wealth. I’ve been planning for this for a little while now, and I have a solid strategy in mind to use this as a turning point in life rather than a flash in the pan that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. But to someone who was born poor, and has always been just that… this is monumental. Even if it’s really not, in the grand scheme of things.
I wanted so badly to do this with you. Now I’m literally driven by the fact that you’re not a part of it. You took so fucking much from me. You’ve also wanted for nothing your entire life. Living safely and comfortably under your parents wing. But I fucking told you. “Come see me in five years and let’s compare lives.”
Especially after you had apparently decided I was such a detriment to yours. That offer still stands.
But I know you won’t take it. You’ll avoid me, and my son forever. Even after you convinced the poor kid you gave a shit about him; after all the shit he’d been through. After all the shit YOU put him through. Because you’re a coward. A mean, ugly, resentful, self-loathing coward.
And the spite that I have for you drives me just enough to BE better than you, in every single way. Simply because I can. Is it ideal? No. But it’s better than dying. And it’s a hell of a lot better than anything I could’ve accomplished with you.
I would NEVER want to trade lives with you. Not in a million years. Then again, that’s probably why you avoid eye contact with yourself in the mirror.
You know who you are, and the shit you’ve done. You may be able to tell yourself a hundred little lies a day to deaden the sting of reality, but I know you. And I know that you have moments in which the fog clears, and for a brief moment you’re lucid. You used to call me crying at night saying “what have I done, who have I become?!”
Every now and again the mask slips and you’re confronted with the fact that you’re a soulless narcissistic fucking monster a lot of the time, and that you’re pretty awful to the people who care about you the most. That you lack empathy. That you didn’t deserve me.
But at the end of it all, you still did what you did. And you didn’t seem all that sorry for any of it at all. Nor did you show any remorse for the lives you tore apart in your wake. So… ? I hope that little tale you tell yourself lasts. I hope you sleep well at night. And I hope that you love yourself, that you find happiness, and peace.
But I know that you fucking won’t.
And that’s just fine with me.
Young money, cash money baby. Lol

2023.03.30 00:16 ndam91 Have Batman comics gotten progressively worse?
While a lot of the art is nice in these new comics.... the writing is typically not at all. This downfall seemed to happen during Tom King taking over and has progressively gotten worse. Only series I can think of that I like is White Knight. I find myself reading Post-Crisis and early New 52 work primarily.
No Man's Land, Contagion, Knightfall, Court of Owls, Hush, Under the Hood, Killing Joke, TDKR, Year One, Venom, these kinds of stories just blow me away. I can't seem to find anything anywhere near this quality in anything in the past decade or so.
Am I alone in this or am I crazy? If you all have recommendations for other Batman comics you think I might like let me know as well.

2023.03.30 00:16 sunflower_1970 Psych NP I saw for years now not returning my calls.
For the past 2 and a half years I've dealt with chronic neurological and physical health issues without a known cause, but began a few weeks into being back on Lexapro. The NP I saw since 2014 for medication management dropped me as a client after I told them I stopped the Lexapro due to the sudden illness, refusing to treat me until I saw a therapist, and then refused to see me even after that, saying I had agreed with her I should see somebody locally, even though I don't remember doing that at all. My entire story is explained here. I tried filing complaints to both the regulatory boards in RI and Texas, but neither did anything, and law firms I talked to never gave me a clear answer, but seemed to imply it'd be very hard to have a legal case against her. I've asked on here too and it seems like a medmal case would be near impossible, but if anybody else is willing to give advice I'd appreciate it.
Besides that, one of the few silver linings is that I was able to get *most* of my records from this NP recently. I called her in February, talked to her on the phone, and she sent me what seems like 95% of all records she has of me. I was worried she'd refuse, but she actually did it. I had to fill out the release form myself, as in create a release form myself specifying what I wanted, which seemed very bootleg, but as I mention in the linked post, it turns out this NP literally works by herself out of her house in some weird telehealth practice. Very weird, and I regret seeing them for as long as I did. They used to live in Rhode Island, but moved to Texas.
However, the June 2020 appointment I mention in the linked post where I was refused a medication refill isn't recorded, and there's no record of discharge. There also seems to be some appointments in 2018/2019 missing that were over the phone, but possibly not. The June 2020 appointment is completely not recorded, though.
I called the NP regarding this, and was only sent a letter in the mail saying all records were given. I've left a few voicemails over the past 3 weeks or so asking for them to call me back, and I'm getting nothing. They haven't left a voicemail, nothing from them. They're most likely intentionally ignoring my calls. I feel they know I filed complaints against them, and now want to have nothing to do with me after getting what they believe they are legally required delivered to me.
I filed a complaint with HHS, as it may be a HIPAA violation, and they cite HIPAA on their website.
Does anybody here have any advice at all regarding the records issue, or with my general situation? I feel so stupid for going to this weird NP running a skeevy telehealth practice. When she lived in my town, she was actually nice and fine, but I should have seen somebody else when she left, but I was apathetic and complacent. I'm still really bitter she gets away with what she did, I am now almost 3 years dealing with these health issues. It's really awful.

2023.03.30 00:15 TreeLeaves0 The painting in the back
A few years ago I worked at this strange American Eagle store not that far outside my home town. I was short on money and figured the job would be fun considering my love for fashion. During my first week there I was informed by one of the employees (who we’ll call Dave) about a creepy painting in the far back near the changing rooms. Dave advised me not to look at it for too long and to pretend it’s not even there. I found this a little unsettling at first but ultimately forgot about it. In my mind I figured Dave was just a jokester and was trying to scare me for his pure amusement. A few weeks later another employee (who we shall call Kate) started to talk about the painting during our lunch break. I laughed thinking her and Dave were pranking me or something but her face turned icy and cold. “Don’t believe me, then look for yourself!,” she said before getting up for the bathroom. I was intrigued so out of pure curiosity I walked over to the back where they both told me it would be. I haven’t really had the need to go back there yet so this was the first time I saw it. The painting was of a man walking his dog. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I stared at it and shook my head. I was a little disappointed. I went to walk away but this chill ran down my spine that made me turn around. The dog that was once on a leash held by the man, was now walking freely with his teeth in a snarl. The man himself seemed to be looking into my soul. My lunch break was soon over and I tried not to think about the painting and how it seemed to change by itself. At the end of my work shift, before heading home, I decided to check it out once more. To my surprise the dog was back on its leash and looked as happy as ever. That’s when my eyes jumped up to where the man was. He was smiling with all his teeth showing. He was not like this before. His eyes looked to be the darkest shade of gray and he was holding the dogs leash with just one finger. I closed my eyes trying to remember if this was what it originally looked like but my gut told me to keep my eyes closed. I started to hear shuffling in one of the changing rooms closest to me. The only ones left in the store were me and Kate. I said her name out loud hoping to god that she was the one I was hearing. There was no response. A cold breeze washed over my face. I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter out of fear. After what seemed like hours I opened my eyes. I let out a gasp as I looked at the painting in front of me. I know this is going to sound crazy but you have to believe me. The painting in front of me was of an old women holding a basket of flowers with a bright smile on her face. She seemed to be smiling back at me. I ran over to Kate who I knew would believe me and told her what had happened. She nodded and said, and I quote, “It does that”. I asked her why they don’t just take it down and she froze. Her eyes started to tear up and she looked over my shoulder. I don’t know what it is she saw and I guess I’ll never know, because at that very moment I grabbed my jacket, phone, and car keys, and walked out the door. I know it sounds like a bitch move, but by the look In Kate’s eyes it wasn’t her that was in trouble. I waited in the parking lot to make sure Kate got out ok before driving off. I quit a few days later. Those last few days I avoided the painting with great ease. That is, until Dave asked me to get a few hangers from the back. I hesitated but decided it wasn’t that big of a deal. As soon as I made my way to the back I halted to a stop. The painting was gone. I asked Kate and Dave about it and they both looked at me confused. “What painting?,” Dave asked tilting his head. I stared at him in shock. I looked over to Kate for her help but she seemed just as confused as Dave was. I begged them both to tell me they were kidding but they seemed really adamant on the fact that there was no such painting. A month later I came to the store with my little cousin to get her some clothes for the summer. I let her do her thing and looked around the place. Come to find out Kate quit shortly after I left without any explanation. Dave however was still folding clothes in the mens section. I walked over to him and we started catching up. My little cousin signaled that she was done and I said goodbye to Dave. However, as soon as I turned to leave he grabbed my arm firmly. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He pulled me close and whispered something in my ear that I’ll never forget. “It waits for you in the back”. He then dropped my arm and picked up another shirt to fold. I slowly walked away and headed for the cashier, but something pulled me over to that back area. Maybe it was curiosity or maybe it was pure stupidity. When I got there I was met face to face with with the painting. It was just black. A black background in a frame on a wall. I looked at it contemplating whether or not I should inspect it. That’s when my cousin ran up to me with all her clothes in hand. She turned to see what I was looking at and smiled. “What a nice painting of a man and his dog.,” she said. My stomach dropped. I pulled her by her arm and quickly paid for the clothes. We got the hell out of there as fast as we could. Its been a little over 3 years now but the whole situation still makes me nauseous. I haven’t and will never go back to the place because I never, and I mean NEVER, want to see the painting in the back again.

2023.03.30 00:15 bigjoerona Simple rules for a better life [Method]
Below are a few simple rules (1 or 2 lines) that help guide my day-to-day life.
They're not deep philosophical rules, they're little rules that get me through life.
Having a simple phrase in my head for certain situations takes away any decision-making and means I'm not influenced by my feelings.
These are all personal to me, but hopefully, you guys might get some value and adopt at least one of these rules:
Empty hands rule - Don't leave a room in your home with empty hands, there's always something that needs to be taken to another room.
2am rule - Nothing good happens after 2am, go home
Tea tidy /coffee clean - Do the dishes while making hot drinks and waiting for the kettle to boil
If you can smell yourself, others can smell you without getting close - same goes for your breath
No phones in bed - unless you're about to make a video...
Water when you wake - hydration stations homie
Lunchtime stretch - 5 minute of stretching (posture specific) every lunch break
Feel everything you say but don't say everything you feel - Some people need to learn to shut the fuck up, this is my way of making sure I'm honest to myself but don't become that guy.
Never fight unless you have to - One punch can end a life, it's 99.9% of the time it's not worth the role of the dice. That being said, sometimes you might need to defend yourself.
Don't park near the store entrance - Save those spaces for people with mobility issues.
Duolingo with your morning coffee - 110 day streak bro
Wake up 2 hours early - Wake up at least 2 hours before you need to leave for work. Use that time as you see fit.
Fortune favours the brave - grab life by the nuts
Read in bed - Something to do now there are no phones.
If you're unhappy, change something - ok so this one does guide my life a bit
Treat everyone with respect until they give you a reason not to - Pretty self-explanatory
Live a value based life - Base your decisions on what you value, not what you feel
There is no excuse not to do some form of exercise everyday - unless you don't feel like it (that was a joke)
You are becoming what you are saying to yourself - lighten the fuck up
What does a horny frog say? - Rubbit
Okay that was just to see if you are still reading, I'll get back to the rules now - thanks
Never attach your ego to the outcome - An outcome shouldn't change your perception of yourself
Decide how you want to live - no one will decide for you
Always be sober for the first fuck in a relationship - note the word relationship
A job isn't done until you've cleaned up - especially true for cooking
Take it easy - It's better than taking it hard
Salt, fat and acid are the secret to great tasting food - trust me
You cannot make people like, validate, love, respect or be nice to you. But it doesn't matter - Be your own, live your own
Live as though you're expecting to fuck a 10/10 that night - good hygiene and a clean home. Always.
You will either win or you will learn - Both are positive outcomes
Listen to yourself - Someone has to
Keep your words clean but your asshole cleaner - please

2023.03.30 00:14 Iwoktheline 37 [M4F] Midwesterner throwing his hat into the ring...And I hate hats.
So, I am taking RueMint's form for myself and spilling it all out there.
I'll get the selfie out of the way first.
https://imgur.com/a/s1N2A7Y
It's a wee bit outdated because I just shaved my head and it's at the "peach fuzz" stage right now.
Basics - Age is already up above, 5'8 (although looking at the doorway height signs stores put in, they say 6'0, so I like to steal Ron White's joke and say "anywhere between 5'8 and 6'2 depending on what store I walk out of) 215lbs. I have a job, a car, a home I bought, I try to keep tidy, and I make sure the bills are paid, although they slip my mind because I am a space cadet, and I make them get back to current. I am very reticent and much more of a listener, although I have moments where the dam breaks and I am a chatterbox. I guess I would say dreamer, and I want to and am slowly working towards my dreams.
Physical looks - Now, this may be the deal breaker due to my self-esteemed being in pieces and if so, it happens. No tattoos, eventually I want to get one when I feel comfortable as a memorial piece to my dog. I have minimal body hair (definitely the opposite of Austin Powers, that's for sure). Body type is, to be real, dad bod, am getting back into the gym to lift heavy things and put them back down. I do not feel right if I do not have a daily shower, unless I know I am getting filthy, then when it is done I am sitting under a fires of Mordor hot shower until I am clean.
Imaginings - I imagine being with someone who has that open line of communication, be it a silly thought or something that invites discussion. As an old friend once said, "what you ignore is priceless to me." A relationship is work, and it has to be maintained and upkept daily, else the wheels fall off. I believe that while we help our partners, even if we have to be the bad person to be kind at times, and they have an important role in our lives, ultimately we cannot set ourselves on fire to keep the other person warm.
My defense mechanism is my reticence, be patient and let me sort my thoughts when I get upset as they become a whirlwind and I need a minute to settle the storm.
There are plenty of times I am upstairs in my head and "wandering the halls", and those times it's usually elevator Muzak or the Mii theme going on. As was said in the game Bastion, "Not always something to say."
Still reading? Awesome.
Questionnaire
Kids - None. Now, I refuse to become the draconian Childfree person that the subreddit became. I can handle being around kids, the billion dollar answer is I don't want any of my own, I know nothing about parenting and I don't want to take the crash course.
Religion - Agnostic. I believe there's things out there that we can't explain, as long as nobody is trying to force their religion down my throat, I'm okay.
Politics? Pro-choice, pro-science, support the LGBTQ community, I hate Trump, and am vaccinated.
Drink? Smoke? Drugs? Don't smoke, the worst I've been in forever was a Malort with friends, and yes, the aftertaste is absolutely horrid. I don't like the smell of weed, I don't partake in it, I don't mind if someone does, just not around me cause again, I think it stinks.
Have you ever been in therapy? Yes. I have depression and anxiety and while I fell off the wagon in terms of therapy due to financial stuff, I am getting back on.
Do you want to get married someday? Honestly, I don't know, but I am keeping it as an option. I don't care to blow an easy 5 figures to get married, I am perfect happy with a small celebration among close friends and found family, and making memories.
Can anything be funny? No. Some people try to be edgier than Bismuth and while there are dark humor jokes that can make me spit my drink, I believe 1) time and place. 2) the company 3) subject. All three are equally important when it comes to humor. I am so so SO much more of a dad joke and pun guy, or even some adult humor.
City? Country? Somewhere in the middle please. I would like to not be near major metropolitan areas, nor do I want to be out in the sticks. I've done both, and am happy with where I can hide away from the world, and if need be not have to drive 40 minutes just to get something from the store.
Is jealousy a healthy emotion? It is normal, yes. Communication is King, Queen, and Their Eminence when it comes to handling this, however, as this is also something that comes up in a relationship.
Are you looking for someone local? Kind of, I am financially bound to my house for right now, if not then we can cross that bridge if/when we come to it.
Intimacy and sex? I can’t be in a relationship where sex isn’t an important part. I have an above average sex drive, but it does not consume me. Sex, like the relationship, is give and take. Sometimes I like to take control, others I let my partner take the wheel.
Music? I am a bit eclectic (and a basic bitch) and dabble in various genre outside of hip hop (unless you count Lotus Juice?) Or heavy metal, I like to understand what I'm listening to. If anyone knows of any good didgeridoo music, let me know.
Movies? I had been on a Marvel kick, and try to be open minded on various genre. I can live just fine without horror, although I will indulge in Chainsawman, and am happy to keep it away from a partner who isn't interested. Love a good animation, Pixar has wowed me with what I have seen of their works, and I like to watch some good sci-fi.
Shows? I watched a ton of Doctor Who, and most media I consume anymore has been games, outside of reading Fandom to catch up on things I missed, and I will sit with friends to watch anime like Buddy Daddies, Chainsawman (as above), or whatever catches our collective eye.
Games? Here is the big one for me. I’ve grown up on the NES, and consider the SNES to be the golden era of gaming. Of course, there are some crappy stories (I love a good story that will hook me, like Earthbound for its whimsical nature yet dark undertones) such as Lufia 2, but it’s what I consider as media “Fast food”. What I mean by that is that is empty turn off your brain fun, yet hits the itch you can’t quite scratch. I am still a huge fan of the 2D Legend of Zelda series (I love A Link To the Past), and if the trailer is decent enough, I’m willing to give it a chance.
Art? I love digital art. There is a lot of dedication and passion that artists put into their work and I respect the eye and talent that they put into it. Pixel art can be absolutely wonderful and the artists put in a painstaking amount of work to make everything pop. Game Design is something I've wanted to do ever since I was a little kid, and Super Mario Bros blew my mind.
Books?
I used to read, read, read as a little kid. That dream of a library sounds absolutely wonderful, and so comfortable at the end of the day. I think high fantasy and RPGs have helped solidify that is what I want to do at the end of the day. Anything with dragons will pique my interest, and if there is a good story, I will probably devour it.
What are some of your non-sexual turn ons?
A good long hug, where someone holds onto me like I'm about to disappear, as well as hugs from behind. Top of head or forehead kisses. Actively listening, or inviting further discussion on a topic, even if it's something that isn't easily understood. Compassion is a huge one for me, and when I'm falling apart showing patience for me while I slowly put myself together. Understanding that sometimes I need my own space and/or I'm going to stubbornly push on to work through something, because I know if I don't keep pushing forward I'm going to stagnate and I don't want that.
Do you want your partner to have the same hobbies and interests?
Absolutely, doesn't have to be everything I'm into, as having exactly everything match up is a cashew's chance at a squirrel convention. As much as I love a good long cuddle, I don't have to have someone attached to my hip, nor do I want that. If there is something one or the other isn't interested in, then it's okay to not be interested, just don't shit all over it.
I would love to see someone everyday, wake up with them or shortly before and get breakfast prepped or we do it together, or even if there's something that needs to be done by oneself, that's okay too!
If you want to talk more, drop me a DM, and to prove you are not a bot (beep boop) list in the title what game I consider crappy, yet hits an itch you can't quite scratch.

I'll get the selfie out of the way first.

It's a wee bit outdated because I just shaved my head and it's at the "peach fuzz" stage right now.
Basics - Age is already up above, 5'8 (although looking at the doorway height signs stores put in, they say 6'0, so I like to steal Ron White's joke and say "anywhere between 5'8 and 6'2 depending on what store I walk out of) 215lbs. I have a job, a car, a home I bought, I try to keep tidy, and I make sure the bills are paid, although they slip my mind because I am a space cadet, and I make them get back to current. I am very reticent and much more of a listener, although I have moments where the dam breaks and I am a chatterbox. I guess I would say dreamer, and I want to and am slowly working towards my dreams.
Physical looks - Now, this may be the deal breaker due to my self-esteemed being in pieces and if so, it happens. No tattoos, eventually I want to get one when I feel comfortable as a memorial piece to my dog. I have minimal body hair (definitely the opposite of Austin Powers, that's for sure). Body type is, to be real, dad bod, am getting back into the gym to lift heavy things and put them back down. I do not feel right if I do not have a daily shower, unless I know I am getting filthy, then when it is done I am sitting under a fires of Mordor hot shower until I am clean.
Imaginings - I imagine being with someone who has that open line of communication, be it a silly thought or something that invites discussion. As an old friend once said, "what you ignore is priceless to me." A relationship is work, and it has to be maintained and upkept daily, else the wheels fall off. I believe that while we help our partners, even if we have to be the bad person to be kind at times, and they have an important role in our lives, ultimately we cannot set ourselves on fire to keep the other person warm.
My defense mechanism is my reticence, be patient and let me sort my thoughts when I get upset as they become a whirlwind and I need a minute to settle the storm.
There are plenty of times I am upstairs in my head and "wandering the halls", and those times it's usually elevator Muzak or the Mii theme going on. As was said in the game Bastion, "Not always something to say."
Still reading? Awesome.
Questionnaire
Kids - None. Now, I refuse to become the draconian Childfree person that the subreddit became. I can handle being around kids, the billion dollar answer is I don't want any of my own, I know nothing about parenting and I don't want to take the crash course.
Religion - Agnostic. I believe there's things out there that we can't explain, as long as nobody is trying to force their religion down my throat, I'm okay.
Politics? Pro-choice, pro-science, support the LGBTQ community, I hate Trump, and am vaccinated.
Drink? Smoke? Drugs? Don't smoke, the worst I've been in forever was a Malort with friends, and yes, the aftertaste is absolutely horrid. I don't like the smell of weed, I don't partake in it, I don't mind if someone does, just not around me cause again, I think it stinks.
Have you ever been in therapy? Yes. I have depression and anxiety and while I fell off the wagon in terms of therapy due to financial stuff, I am getting back on.
Do you want to get married someday? Honestly, I don't know, but I am keeping it as an option. I don't care to blow an easy 5 figures to get married, I am perfect happy with a small celebration among close friends and found family, and making memories.

2023.03.30 00:14 Maddog19940192 Truthfully....
It's not looking GREAT for the new album. I have hope but only a little lol. The first 3 singles are fine... But here's the thing you already no there's going to be 1-2 complete filler songs no questions asked... So 2 filler tracks and the first 3 singles that's damn near half the album of filler-average tracks, let's just throw in another average track as I'm sure there will be that's literally half the album of bad-okay songs. Alot rides on those other 6 songs if there's at least 3-4 good tracks it will save the album for me. But then you couple that with the overly clean and sterile production and guitar tone.... It's just not great. Im sure everyone has heard them I was listening to those "if this song was on justice or master and had those production jobs" tracks they sound so much better. This Greg fidelmen guy really just waters down their sound so much. And alot of the music itself is really stock and generic in general

2023.03.30 00:12 Zaylux2 I'm such an internally hateful and angry person.
Every single friend I make or have, always ends up pissing me off sooner or later. Won't even be anything meant to piss me off, they could just say things in a certain way that makes me so angry, or act a certain way and it just infuriates me. Or if a friend doesn't give a good enough reaction to something I say or show them, basically, giving what seems to me a half-assed response, It **REALLY** pisses me off. But I always internalize it because I don't think its fair to lash out on them. If we are in a call, I'll abruptly leave if something someone says really hurts me or pisses me off. I just can't deal with it. Everyone and everything ends up pissing me off and I end up feeling like I fucking hate them or that thing until I come to my senses. But, It just inevitably sooner or later happens again, and again, and again, and then I start hating myself, wanting to hurt or envision killing myself, etc. It's such a shitty feeling and I don't get it. I know irritability is a symptom of depression, but I have never met someone who seems to react the way I react to things, at least not nearly as strongly. I just feel so weak and hateful towards myself whenever I get upset like this. It really makes me want to disappear, And it makes me feel like a horrible, bad person and friend. Just having to constantly distance myself from friends to keep from lashing out or ruining friendships. I really want to change and I just started therapy last week but It's so hard to imagine myself not being this sensitive towards everything. I just have so much anger in me man, and I have to bottle it up so I don't hurt others. :(

2023.03.30 00:12 Throwradeleteaccount AITA for accusing my Fiancè of cheating?
Throw away account so friends don't see.
So I'll try put this in a short as story as possible.
I have been with my partner for 8 years. I'll admit, I've done some horrible things. I have sent nudes to other women, But I have apologised and we tried to move forward.
I do have an awfully bad habit of getting angry at her or our childen and calling them names (Retarded, Stupid, Cunts, Braindead etc), I do know its wrong.
A few months back she organised a night out for us, Just the two of us to do something as I was stressed from work, But I also had other stuff planned to go out with a mate, So I went out with him instead as I had planned this with him first. She got upset and told me I might as well be with him since I always drop everything to do stuff with him, He's also my co worker so we spend everyday together plus also go shooting 2-3 times a week. So anyway after her saying that, I lost it with her and I did start the name calling again, Then walked out the door not coming home till about 1am in the morning.
Since then she has been awfully distant, We have probably only had sex 4 times in the last 5 months. She wont come near me. So, I accused her of cheating on me, I admit I did this everyday cause thats how I felt. I would text her everyday for months that she was cheating on me because she wouldnt come near me. She even carries her phone around in her back pocket so this is also why I thought she was cheating.
Shes now, Ever so distant with me. Won't hug me, Or kiss me. Ive asked her why, She flat out told me its because of what ive done. I've explained to her that this is both our faults, But mainly hers for being so distant, I blame our relationship for being so fucked now because of her distance.
I told her we need to try fix this, But shes so blunt about it and never really talks about it. I feel like she agrees with me to shut me up. I want to get stuff back to normal but I feel as though I'm not getting anywhere with it. I have apoligized to her, I still slip up here and there but I am trying. She's even spoke to a mental health hotline cause she is crying everyday about all of this.
AITA here or is she?

2023.03.30 00:12 Gillatrader43 Car was totaled in front yard on New Years, insurance wants a “perfected title” to issue a check- NC
On New Year’s Eve a drunk driver missed a turn and crashed into my property. Went through the trees and totaled a 2008 BMW in my yard. USAA has already cut a check for the property damage but is not issuing a check on the vehicle. DMV had the previous owner on record so I contacted him and he released himself from the title. I purchased it through an online site and have all records and a “bill of sale” for the purchase. The car has been towed away as a full loss but now insurance co is asking for a perfected title from the DMV to issue me the check. Any ideas or ways to get this? Have been to the DMV twice and the procedure of having a state trooper come visit the vehicle is not an option. I have been without transportation for nearly 3 months and Uber is costing me $800 a month.
