2023.06.01 11:31 petrus4 An attempt at objectivity regarding the culture war
I am going to try and make this thread more balanced, and less extreme than some of my other recent material in this subreddit.
I really, really don't like intersectionalism, or Wokeness. That should be pretty apparent to anyone who has seen my posts in this subreddit. I genuinely view it as a form of Maoism or authoritarian Communism, which has been specifically tailored to exploit the cultural divisions which are unique to America, rather than focusing on the divide between rich and poor which existed in Russia and China.
The reason why I am making this post though, is because over the last several months, I've started to notice the existence of a particular demographic on YouTube, who genuinely do exemplify and perpetuate what I can only call the "angry white man," stereotype which the Woke mention being opposed to. I've also realised that I don't like it, any more than I like the negative characteristics of Wokeness.
To cite an example of what I am talking about, I know of one particular channel on YouTube, whose video about the black Cleopatra controversy, expressed on the one hand that while pro-black historical revisionism was bad, (which I agree that it is) then gave Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, and John Wayne as Genghis Khan a free pass, when both of them were white actors who were playing characters that were either non-white, (in the case of Khan) or white but still of a substantially different ethnicity, in the case of Cleopatra. This same channel has recently released a video complaining about the "cleavage deficit" in recent media.
I am genuinely extremely concerned about the level of censorship that is beginning to emerge on the Internet, especially in relation to artificial intelligence. On going into /JordanPeterson the other day, I was also greeted with this video:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePFrVZ9z6Io
The reason why I want to post this video here, is so that I can deny woke apologists the ability to claim that this level of paranoia among transgendered people is not real. It is real, and it is intersectionalism's own equivalent to the Right's white replacement theory. I do not condone white replacement theory, and I do not condone transgendered paranoia or aggression about a potential anti-trans holocaust.
I also do not want responses to this thread, either from conservatives claiming that white replacement theory does not exist, or from trans apologists claiming that trans holocaust paranoia does not exist. Both exist, neither are justified, and both have the potential, due to the actions they inspire and motivate, to CREATE exactly the kind of scenario that their adherents are afraid of.
I also recently became aware of the existence of this video:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFpUjyM0orQ
On the other hand, I did not condone the conservative overturning of Roe vs. Wade. I also do not condone conservatives making it more difficult to obtain no-fault divorce. Marriage should not be a form of legal inprisonment. The first 25 years of my life was spent within a nuclear family scenario, with two parents who came from an English boarding school background, where my father was the proverbial "head of household," but was also narcississtic, tyrannical, and corrupt. I do not want the conservative family paradigm, because I have first hand, direct personal experience of how and why it does not work, and why it has been so widely rebelled against. If I do hypothetically end up standing in front of Jesus Christ after I die, I am quite seriously going to tell him that I view the crowning moral achievement of my life, to have been the fact that I managed to resist the urge to kill my father.
My point is that in the culture war, neither side are innocent. Neither side are saints. I don't want responses to this from the usual angry Zoomers about how BLM are angels, or they'd already have their woke Utopia if conservatives would just hurry up and die. I also don't want conservative responses claiming that Donald Trump is really a misunderstood hero, and that of course he didn't really want to overthrow the Republic and become an Emperor. Both statements are false, and both are expressions of partisan mind control.
Get your shit together, America, because I and a lot of others are starting to get very, very sick of it. There are far too many vindictive, brainwashed, mentally ill children on both sides. I don't want abortion, divorce, gay marriage, or psychedelics to be illegal; but I also don't want higher mathematics condemned as an artifact of white supremacy, or conservatives automatically branded and hunted down as neo-Nazis, purely for either believing in Jesus, or wanting to raise fucking chickens.

Well, look no further because we've got a beginner's guide that will help you navigate through the exciting world of currency trading. In this post, we'll walk you through everything from understanding the basics to tips on how to make smart investments. So sit back, grab your notepad and let's dive into How to Make Money in Forex Trading! submitted by GeekyForex to u/GeekyForex [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/f5l9ww5wkd3b1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0833139ff5287df3f571f02cabacb860992b7fa Introduction to Forex TradingIf you're looking to make money in forex trading, then you've come to the right place. In this beginner's guide, we'll show you how to start making money in forex trading by giving you a crash course in the basics of forex trading.So, what is forex trading? In simple terms, forex trading is the buying and selling of currencies. The goal of forex trading is to profit from the changing values of currencies, usually done by buying low and selling high. Of course, it's not quite that simple. There's a lot more to learn about forex trading before you can start making money. But don't worry, we'll cover everything you need to know in this guide. By the end, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills you need to start making money in forex trading. What is Forex Trading?Forex trading is the act of buying or selling currencies. Unlike stock trading, forex trading does not take place on a centralized exchange. Instead, it is a decentralized market where currency pairs are traded over-the-counter (OTC).The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily turnover of more than $5 trillion. This makes it much bigger than the stock market. And because it is decentralized, there is no one central location where all trades take place. Forex trading is conducted 24 hours a day, five days a week, making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection. You can trade from your home computer or mobile device, and you don't need a large amount of money to start. In fact, you can open a forex account with as little as $100. Advantages of Forex TradingForex trading offers a number of advantages over other financial instruments, including:- Access to a global marketplace: Unlike other financial markets, the forex market is not centralized. This means that you can trade forex 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. - Increased liquidity: The large number of participants in the forex market ensures high levels of liquidity, making it easy to buy and sell currencies. - Low transaction costs: Forex brokers typically charge lower commissions and fees than stockbrokers. - Leverage: Leverage allows you to trade with more money than you have in your account. This can magnify your profits, but also your losses. Risk and Reward PotentialWhen it comes to forex trading, there is always the potential for both risk and reward. However, the key to successful forex trading is to manage those risks effectively.One way to do this is to never trade with more money than you can afford to lose. This will help ensure that you don't get in over your head and end up losing more money than you can afford. Another way to manage risk is to use stop-loss orders. These orders will automatically close out your position if it reaches a certain level of loss. This can help limit your losses if the market moves against you. It's also important to take profits when they are available. Don't let greed get the best of you and wait too long to take profits. If you have a profit target in mind, take the trade when it hits that target. By doing so, you can lock in profits and avoid giving them back to the market. Market Participants and Types of OrdersThe foreign exchange market is made up of two types of participants: central banks and commercial institutions, and retail investors. Central banks are responsible for managing the currency supply and setting interest rates in their respective countries. They also intervene in the forex market to stabilize their currencies. Commercial institutions include banks, insurance companies, and corporations that buy or sell foreign exchange for business purposes. Retail investors are individuals who speculate on the direction of currencies for profit.There are four types of orders that can be placed in the forex market: market orders, limit orders, stop orders, and trailing stop orders. Market orders are the most common type of order and are simply an instruction to buy or sell at the best available price. Limit orders allow traders to set a maximum price they are willing to pay (for a buy order) or a minimum price they are willing to sell at (for a sell order). Stop orders are used to limit losses or lock in profits by buying or selling when a currency reaches a certain price. Trailing stop orders follow the same principle as regular stop orders but trail behind the current market price by a predetermined amount, making them flexible as prices move. Currency PairsCurrency pairs are the bread and butter of forex trading. A currency pair is simply a two-currency quotation, showing how much of one currency is needed to buy one unit of another currency. For example, in the EUUSD currency pair, EUR is the base currency and USD is the quote currency. This means that one euro can buy 1.1755 US dollars.Most forex trading is done in major currency pairs, such as EUUSD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. These pairs all contain the US dollar (USD) on one side – known as the quote currency – and a major world currency on the other – known as the base currency. Currencies are always traded in pairs because you are effectively buying one currency while simultaneously selling another. The foreign exchange market is unique because it is: - massive: more than $5 trillion daily turnover; - decentralized: no physical location or central exchange; - open 24 hours a day except weekends: Monday morning in Wellington, New Zealand (10 p.m. Sunday ET) to Friday afternoon in New York City (5 p.m. ET); - global: currencies trade against each other - not just against the US dollar - so foreign exchange rates reflect global economic conditions; and - driven by fundamentals: interest rates, inflation, government policy, etc.. Leverage, Margin, and SpreadsLeverage, margin, and spreads are important concepts to understand when trading forex. Leverage allows you to control a larger amount of currency with a smaller amount of money. This can help you make bigger profits, but it can also lead to bigger losses if the trade goes against you. Margin is the amount of money that you need to put up in order to open a trade. Spreads are the difference between the bid and ask prices of a currency pair. The bid price is the price at which you can buy a currency, and the ask price is the price at which you can sell it. Spreads can vary depending on market conditions and the liquidity of the currency pair.Developing a Trading StrategyMost individuals who attempt to day trade forex without a plan or strategy end up losing money. You need a trading strategy to have any chance of success.When developing your trading strategy, there are a few things you need to take into consideration: 1) What is your risk tolerance? How much capital are you willing to risk on each trade? 2) What is your target profit? How much do you hope to make on each trade? 3) What time frame will you be trading on? Are you looking for short-term profits or longer-term gains? 4) What currency pair or pairs will you be trading? There are many different currency pairs to choose from, so make sure you pick the ones that best suit your trading style. 5) What technical indicators will you use? There are dozens of different indicators available, so again, make sure you pick the ones that best suit your trading style. 6) What news events will you be monitoring? Certain economic news releases can have a big impact on currency prices, so it's important to be aware of them. Once you've answered these questions, you can start developing your actual trading strategy. It's important to keep in mind that there is no "perfect" strategy; what works for one trader may not work for another. The key is finding a strategy that fits your own personality and risk tolerance. Fundamental Analysis vs. Technical AnalysisThere are two main approaches to Forex trading: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. As a beginner, you need to understand the difference between the two in order to make money in Forex trading.Fundamental analysis is a method of analyzing financial markets with the goal of forecasting future price movements. This approach looks at economic indicators, such as gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, and interest rates, to identify market trends. Technical analysis is a complementary method that looks at past price movements to identify patterns that can predict future price movements. Technical analysis is more commonly used by short-term traders because it can be used to generate buy and sell signals in real-time. Fundamental analysis is more suited for long-term trading because it takes time for economic indicators to impact market prices. Both approaches have their merits and it’s up to you as a trader to decide which one you want to use. If you’re just starting out, we recommend using technical analysis since it’s easier to learn and execute. As you become more experienced, you can start incorporating fundamental analysis into your trading strategy. Risk Management StrategiesThere are a number of risk management strategies that can be employed when trading forex. The key is to find the strategy that best suits your trading style and risk tolerance.One popular strategy is to set stop-loss orders. This is where you pre-determine the level at which you will exit a trade if it starts to go against you. By doing this, you can limit your losses and protect your capital. Another common strategy is to take profits at pre-determined levels. This is known as profit taking. By setting these levels in advance, you can lock in profits as the market moves in your favour. A final risk management strategy that is often used by successful traders is to diversify your portfolio. This means having a mix of different asset classes in your investment portfolio, such as stocks, bonds and commodities. By spreading your risk across different asset classes, you can protect yourself from large losses if one market sector suffers a downturn. |

2023.06.01 11:28 curvyladybird Helplessly triggered, sabotaging relationship
Lots of childhood trauma, partner of around 2 years is incredibly supportive, kind and patient. He’s the least traumatised person I’ve ever known.
The problem is that I still get triggered because unless he walks on eggshells - not a very reasonable expectation - things will come up that hit my abandonment button.
I’m currently having trauma therapy and have been doing inner child work, but when I get triggered, I can’t seem to pause and do the inner child comfort that I’ve been told to.
I liken it to a soldier with PTSD: if they hear fireworks, they believe it’s gunfire and will react in fear. If I see / hear / feel what I believe to be rejection or abandonment, it feels true and dangerous and I feel panicked. I’m not going to try to talk myself round from “reality” because that would be as foolish as someone trying to calm down about gunshots. They wouldn’t survive that if they turned out to be wrong.
If I’m triggered and my partner can’t “fix” it - he might be clumsy or oblivious or defensive or busy, like all normal humans can be - then I quickly escalate and say I’m ending the relationship because I can’t take the pain of it. I become suicidal. In these moments, I feel it so acutely (the racing heart, unfocused mind, nausea, sheer panic) that I believe I’d be better off living alone and sad forever than trying to be happy and having this rollercoaster of joy and pain. It would easier to be numb forever and set my expectations to “incapable of a relationship” than to keep going through this. And worse, putting my lovely partner through it.
I’m sure this is the million dollar question, but has anyone found anything that helps them to stop / reevaluate / comfort inner child in this situation? I can’t keep doing this and yet I feel powerless to control it.
Thank you x

2023.06.01 11:25 Gigacado_Chadocado My current world history of the arcane desert land of erimos
The great crab demigod created the island millennia ago
The first 4 human tribes showed up - the northern - the southern - the eastern - the western
The different tribes swept across the land claiming territory
Wars became frequent among the land with some territories having citizens of different regional ethnicity from wars
Unbeknownst to them 5 grand necromancers rose up to power on an island surrounded by rocks - the elder - the trickster - the tyrant - the traveler - the wise
The grand necromancers had 6 monoliths across erimos with one on their island and using the sixth on their island they controlled the others being able to manipulate the weather
Chaos, ash, and cold were brought to the lands by their control over the monoliths but the nations of erimos endured the trials
One day the grand necormancers used there magic to send a powerful and cursed skeleton to attack the northern lands but it eventually fell from the might of the northern armies
Later there was a necromancer invasion of the center of erimos sent by the 5 grand necromancers
Eventually some of the peoples of erimos came to the island to kill off the grand necromancers with only one surviving, the traveler
The traveler fled the island and brought up from the sea the black rock where he resided with a larger one to house his army
Then he created a new council of grand necromancers
Over time as war and settlement reigned over the land along with other ill acts the fire elementals began to be angered
4 uncharted islands off the north western coast got a population of people of the 4 different cultures/ethnic groups
Eventually the age of sun occurred and an army of fire elementals burned the land killing all of those on the main land and destroying their homes
The 4 isolated islands eventually returned to erimos to take over the land
To be continued……

The first 4 human tribes showed up - the northern - the southern - the eastern - the western
The different tribes swept across the land claiming territory
Wars became frequent among the land with some territories having citizens of different regional ethnicity from wars

---Success---
---Chhay’s perspective---
My husband walks close beside me, to my left, as we climb the stairs to our penthouse in the ODR’s residential wing.
The party in the gymnasium was pleasant.
A little on the cheese platter and dry white wine side but… well… however we both look, neither of us are young men anymore(!)… Perhaps it’s for the best that the careerpath we’re on precludes attending the kind of ragers I went to at uni(!)
I was glad to see the way Zuzu (ever the outgoing extrovert) got to relax at the expeditionary send off party.
Now that they’ve departed, he’s got one less thing on his constantly overpiled plate!
Since the diplomatic nightmare of the discovery of the lost colony right on the edge of the galactic core, the legal nightmare of how exactly to prosecute that murderer from there, the overseeing of the arrangements for the refugees that the Bright Plume brought here, the work that’s gone into all the last minute preparations to the expedition on top of all of his normal duties, he was run off his feet even before all the stress that the assassination attempt caused!
Of course, he’s no stranger to attempts on his life(!)… We first met when I was a lowly nurse, picking shrapnel out of his cheek after a failed bomb plot, afterall! (‘Failed’ in that it only killed people other than the intended targets…)
It still takes a toll though… every time.
He jokes about it… but I see how it affects him.
Luckily, we don’t need protection inside this building… which means that Gamba was able to babysit for us.
The kids absolutely adore their ‘Monkey Uncle’, as he’s happy to selfdesignate, despite Gorillas being Apes, not Monkeys!
Not a distinction that particularly matters in Khmer but, by mutual agreement, we’re raising our kids with English as their primary language at home, so we need to make sure they understand that others might take offence to careless language like that!
At this point, I feel something squeezing my right arsecheek.
I turn my head left to my husbands face, innocently pointed forward. Apparently, he still has a little energy left(!)
“Darling… what’s on my backside?” I ask, wryly.
“My hand, my love.” he says, visibly fighting off a smile.
“And… why is your hand on my backside?”
“Because you have the most pleasant, squeezable backside in the galaxy, dear.” he answers, simply.
“Honestly, I wonder what the Terran public would think if they knew the truth about what a handsy pervert they had representing them in Parliament and Heading their interplanetary relations agency(!)… Can’t even walk up a flight of stairs without giving his husband a grope(!)” I tease.
“Would you like me to remove my hand, sweetheart?” he asks, his lips pursed in mirth.
“I didn’t say that…!” I grin, returning the favour and extending my left arm to his left arsecheek.
“I’d suggest putting the privacy field up tonight… but I really need a full 8 hours…” Zuzu says, with regret.
As we approach our door, I begin saying “Let’s just hope Gamba’s got Chan and Sai to slee…” but break off mid sentence as, before we’ve taken three paces into our home, I realise that something’s wrong…
Both of us release our hold on the other and our heads whip forward to see our lounge in a state of total disarray!
The bottom drops out of my stomach as I spot a pair of black furry legs, ending in two calloused, prehensile handfeet, protruding from behind the sofa.
My heart is pounding and I take a breath to say that we need to call security.
*Clank* is the sound of something heavy and metallic, landing behind us.
*Thunk* is the sound of something hitting the back of my husband’s neck with the force of an executioner’s axe.
*Thud**thud thud thud thud* is the sound of my husband’s head hitting the ground 4m from his body and rolling another few metres.
Before I can scream for help, I’m slammed to the wall with enough force to drive the air from my lungs.
“Be smart, buddy…” growls the mechanical monstrosity pinning me to the wall with a bright red, bulky, metal right arm that doesn’t match the sleek, clawed, durasteel left arm that he’s pointing toward my throat, only red for being covered in my husband’s blood “…there’s no bounty on your head and I’d hate to be forced to make orphans of your kids!”
“*wheeze**cough*…What have you done to them?!” I manage to ask, through the pressure he’s applying to my sternum. I’m trying not to think about what I just watched happen to the love of my life and focus on what matters now!
“Relax. Your kids are safe… Sedated and lying in their beds… I don’t kill kids.”
“What a hero(!)” I spit, defiantly.
The skullfaced abomination does a slight doubletake before mirthfully saying “You’re braver than I expected the draft dodging, pencil pushing boywife of that spineless backstabber to be(!)… Or maybe just stupider?”
My feet are lifted from the ground as he drags me around 30cm up the wall by the front of my shirt, still applying so much pressure that I get friction burns on my back.
“Let’s get some things straight… What’s gonna happen now is; I’m about to pick up that head and walk out of your apartment with it before exfiltrating this compound and leaving the planet… the only question, is whether I leave behind two orphans and a third corpse… or two kids and a smart guy who knows how to follow instructions?… Are you a smart guy?… Or are you a corpse!?”
I don’t want to answer… but I want Chan and Sai to grow up as orphans less…
“I’m smart…” I wheeze, reluctantly.
“Good!” he says, cheerfully, releasing my shirt and letting me fall to the floor where I crumple into a heap.
Casually, he strolls to my Zuzu’s head and picks it up by his hair, his footfalls making heavy *clunks* over the quiet *whirr* of his actuators as he does.
I’m subjected to a horrific view of my husband’s final expression as his head dangles from the hand that killed him.
Returning to where I am on his way back to the door, the murderer stops.
“You count?”
“I what?”
“Can. you. count?”
“I can count…” I confirm, gingerly rubbing the place on my chest where he crushed me.
“Then here’s what I want you to do; lie on the floor, face down, put your hands on top of your head and count to a hundred… slowly!… When you’re done, you can call security… Try moving before then and killing you gets bumped to the top of my priority list, ahead of escaping… Do we understand eachother?”
I nod.
“Do it then!”
I follow the instructions, bracing myself for the possibility of him changing his mind about letting me live.
I begin counting and hear his (suddenly much lighter) footfalls as he leaves.
“One… two… three… four… five… *sniffle* six… seven… *sob* eight…”
---Jackson’s perspective---
I enter the door to the parked craft, serving as our hideout.
A woman with a mohawk of voluminous, curly, red hair, flopped over the side of her scalp, looks up at me with a pair of emerald green eyes.
“Success?” she asks.
In answer, I toss the head onto the table in front of her.
“Jesus, Stetter!” she exclaims, grossed out.
“You gonna certify that, Kara?” I ask.
“Yeah, yeah, you’ll get your bounty, just… don’t toss heads at people!”
Rather than answering, I instruct “Get everyone ready. We’re taking off five minutes ago…”
“You wanna leave right now?” she frowns.
“Of course… we have a ship to pursue…”

2023.06.01 11:23 AlienNationSSB Alien-Nation Chapter 171: Shot Heard Across the Galaxy
All Chapters First Chapter of Alien-Nation Previous Chapter
Alien-Nation Discord
Buy A Coffee for the Author
Chapter Summary:
Shot Heard Across the Galaxy A poor Shil'vati patrol goes looking for that Security Force that just got blasted in the last chapter
First Contact: We jump POV, where Elias gives them "pretty much the exact terms" of their invasion and occupation, turning it back on them.
The summer had clung on by the tips of its fingernails despite the threatening change in season. The dry morning air heated quickly back to what Serenie had grown accustomed to, as if to deny the inevitable unwelcome encroachment of the biting cold night they'd just endured performing riot control in the center city.
Serenie learned some new insults over her comm as a pursuing Captain Goshen had watched the insurgent 'clear a building in a single bound like a retarded kangaroo with viagra in its tail.'" Serenie had never seen a kangaroo, but Earth's nature had fascinated her, and the loose familiarity caused her alone to laugh uproariously at the Captain’s breathless fury.
There were some other matters the Captain had muttered about, such as ‘lies turning truth’ that seemed to elude Serenie’s grasp. One thing that the Captain made certain Serenie did understand was the concept of punishment duty for her laughter. Double-shifts just seemed to be the order of the day, but being sent far afield with these people could hardly be called anything else. The scenery was occasionally something she’d have called nice, if it wasn’t for her present circumstance.
She was stuck with her new podmate, Zell, who it seemed just could *not *shut up.
"Look. All I'm saying is, they're hot. Hotter than the Security Forces 'squad' *we're looking for. *'Squad.' Such a stupid-sounding word."
Serenie's expansive patrol pod had been shattered apart by casualties in the wake of Emperor's attack on Unification Square. The combat patrol had been dropped over twenty feet onto jagged concrete as the overpass they were sprinting across collapsed underneath them into rubble, courtesy of planted explosives. Serenie was one of the only ones to come out with relatively minor injuries and to make a full recovery. She'd even hobbled to the square on a broken leg, just in time to behold the horrific spectacle of the building’s collapse.
Now those cast off shards of incomplete pods had been shuffled and mixed up to serve with some temporarily deployed Shil'vati forces from out-of-state.
Two whole pods made up of the odd numbers from other units, sent to Delaware on punishment duty of their own came together to compose the new team of six out of the hodgepodge. Once Zell had used all her brain to do the math, she announced excitedly: ‘A grateful human boy for each of their rescuers.’
And so the two pods set off with initial enthusiasm, unburdened by much familiarity with one another. That had been three miles ago, and by now the excitement had given way to bitterness over how they were wasting time on a long walk across open, somewhat bleak bulldozed terrain that nature work crews had yet to reclaim, doing Search and Rescue for a bunch of deserters who didn't want to be found at all, instead of rounding up those 'mysterious hot insurgent guys.'
Serenie reflected that at least the razed structures and tall grasses offered a nice view of the vibrant colors the trees were starting to turn. A 'silver lining,' as the more optimistic locals liked to say. 'Well the square was utterly destroyed and you're led by an idiot from a green zone, but at least you're alive!'
The boys here were always upbeat. Then again, they were paid to take their clients' minds off their troubles. And she had to admit they worked better than the stupid Anarevoca. The deep rest in the arms of the man she'd visited while on mandatory medical and psychological leave had done more for her recovery and in then passing the evaluation than anything else she’d tried. She didn’t regret a moment or credit of the exchange, even if the bribes and fees to slip her out and get her the secret rendezvous did her accounts the same kind of damage as she herself had suffered.
She hoped Azraea hadn’t lowered the score just to get every soldier back on the front lines, and switched her line of thought. It did her no benefit to dwell on such things. ‘At least he let me sleep longer than I paid for’, she reflected, remembering the faintly sweet musk of where his shoulder met his neck, and how gently he’d run his fingernails along the back of her head, through her scalp until she fell asleep.
"The insurgents are *not *hot," Serenie muttered. "They're supposedly all too old, too set in their ways to adapt. You know, like, twice your age. You got a father-fucker fetish or something?" Serenie had already had more than an earful of this conversation, and repeating her rent-a-paramour’s comforting words buttressed her conviction. The honeyed sense of validation he’d whispered into her ears was better than dwelling on the possibility that the planet and all the men on it all just outright hated her.
"What, so you got your asses kicked by a bunch of daddies?" At Serenie's stare, her new podmate from New Jersey relented slightly. "Okay, fine. At least admit the *idea *of them is hot. *So *hot.” When Serenie didn’t bite, Zell kept going. “Come on- physically active, mysterious, and just need some love and affection before they realize we aren't so bad, and you win 'em over with -"
"-Yeah, alright, you find one, you try it, you tell me how it goes. If you survive and he’s somehow tolerating even someone like you, then I figure I can swipe him off you."
"Fuck no, we'll share, and you'll be grateful I'm so generous. Seriously, share the insurgency, I say. I can charm 'em so good we'll have peace within the day."
Serenie wondered how Zell had served this long and didn't realize human men tended to be fiercely monogamous. Maybe things were different where Zell served, though Serenie doubted it was.
"That's something I actually wanted to ask. I thought maybe you'd know." Serenie wasn’t sure why Zell might know anything, but it was at least in the area of Zell’s obvious obsessions. "How is 'fuck' an insult? Especially when the humans say words that mean 'fuck you,' but they use it as an insult. But even other forms of it mean ‘get fucked,’ or something."
"You sure it's an insult? Sounds like an invitation, if you ask me. Have you tried asking them ‘when’?"
Just one more addition to the ever-growing mountain of evidence that Zell was an idiot.
The new pod's equally new sergeant was little better, but at least when Sergeant Patmorica interrupted this time, it was focused on the mission. Her comm cut through the half-hearted banter as she made her periodic report at the required interval.
"Command, we've got eyes on a pretty good LZ on the crest of this hill, mark for exfiltration if necessary." Sergeant Patmorica pointed a gauntleted finger to the ridge on the far side of the field. Rote procedure; the last one she'd pointed to would be marked as a secondary. "Got a wide open view of that woods near where the patrol of Security Forces went missing- not seeing much out here in the field. Permission to move into the forest and check for them?"
Data Officer Borzun's voice floated back. "Granted. Relief forces will be en route if you find anything, ETA eleven minutes from Command."
The return signal sounded distant, quieter than normal. Something about that troubled her, but Serenie didn't want to draw the attention of a sergeant eager to prove she was capable of leading a couple pods, or feel she had to prove herself to the red zone veteran. Even more disturbing, Zell looked ready to start talking again.
"How are the other leads looking?" Serenie piped up quickly. At least the sergeant might offer something helpful, even if the information was secondhand.
"Not great. A lot of the people who are *supposed *to be patrolling looking for rebels are responding to the strikes and protests at the prisons, beating up protestors who weren't on any lists, trying to restore some semblance of order," Sergeant Patmorica responded with surprising candor.
"Be a real shame if no one's here. We could be out there helping," Zell picked up the line conversationally as they descended from the crest of the hill near the river, past an old sign that read 'Mister Pasta'. "Instead we're chasing down wayward Security Forces, who probably cut and ran."
"Best lead we've had so far," Patmorica responded.
"Have you heard anything about 'Camp Death'?"
"Just whispers. Nothing solid," Patmorica said, stepping over a half-buried old curb. The work here in leveling the town and returning it to nature had certainly been hurried and half-done. The ridge of the distant trees hadn't expanded outward much at all.
"Supposedly, it's somewhere in the North. We're in the North."
"What, you think Camp Death is actually in the middle of nowhere, somewhere out here? Come on, the town's leveled. There was a bomb that went off literally over there-" Serenie pointed across the rubble of the highway they were walking along. "-Some local shirtless kid pulled a Lieutenant out of the rubble."
"Doesn't seem to have been enough for them to consider saving the neighborhood. Not a chance it's out here; Work crews woulda spotted it."
"Guess the work crews finally got around to really taking the place apart before, you know, 'shit hit the fan.'
Human words were very evocative. Terrible situations lined with precious metals, feces being sprayed about by rapid physical impacts- the mental images they provided, disturbing though they often were, seemed silly enough to bring a smile that had been all too absent on the senior private's face ever since her time in Unification Square.
There used to be some roads here, but all that's been cut off. A bunch of trees, and no structures, no infrastructure, and a bunch of troops? That's just begging for an orbital strike."
"He might have the hostages there. Anywhere might."
The sergeant paused, contemplating something, then jumping into a private comm chat with Serenie, her voice coming through a bit more crisply. "Yeah, alright. Look, I read your file. You had your run-ins. You're still shaken, I understand that, but I need you to not jump at shadows, got that? You get to go on patrol with us, finding some lost boys who forgot how to read a map, and *maybe *lending your local expertise. But I have to weigh that against what you went through. The absolute *last *thing I need is you opening fire because one of the Security Forces guys sneezes, and it sets you off. Are we clear? Not everything's an insurgent. Not everything is done by insurgents."
"Ma'am," Serenie responded. "Understood. I'm cleared as ready for action." Idiot or not, Sergeant Patmorica was still her commanding officer for the time being, and she couldn't exactly relate her late night rendezvous in a red zone and say she was 'all better now.' Confessing such a violation was just *begging *to be written up.
"That's what I like to hear." Something about her answer or stature must have been conveyed while providing the words because they seemed to reassure Patmorica of her readiness. Serenie felt a ray of hope that she was really, well and truly had finally free from the aftereffects.
The rest of the walk along the treeline was blessedly quiet. Five minutes of peaceful walking. No idiots, no stupid orders, no more braggadocia. Even in full kit, Serenie enjoyed nature on earth in all its many mysterious and downright strange aspects. The morning chill felt crisp, and the crunch of dried parched dirt and grasses under her boots felt more alive than the steady beat of boots-on-plate aboard a starship's hull, no matter how large or ambient the white noise supplied.
It was as she reflected on the multitudinal ways the experience was different that she had a realization.
"There's something wrong."
"Is it that we got sent out without a vehicle? 'Cause I think we could have covered all this ground in a few seconds. Honestly, says everything that the Governess shipped us out here, but got tight-fisted with vehicles and equipment."
"No, everyone, be quiet!"
"*You *be quiet, Serenie!" The soldier in front of Zell snapped back.
"Shut up!" She hissed. Sergeant Patmorica spun on her heel. "Private Serenie. What are you-"
"Please, just- just- would you just listen!" A few seconds passed as everyone stared, either obeying or just shocked at the quiet girl's outburst.
"Listen...for what?" Zell finally broke the silence.
"Exactly. Do you hear anything? Birds? See any deer? Where are all the animals?"
"What's your point?"
"I think that we are not alone in this forest."
"Well, we were sent in to investigate where people disappeared to. Duh. It's a good thing if we aren't."
"But where are the animals?"
"I don't know. They migrate, right? Look." As if on cue, a tight formation of flying Canadian Geese passed overhead, honking. "There's your noisy animals right there."
Zell pointed and quipped. “Look sarge, insurgents!” The hand tracked the geese as they flew overhead.
Serenie felt trapped. How had some stranger from out-of-state been promoted to Sergeant and assigned to lead these pods, despite clearly never leading so much as a patrol in a yellow zone? Worse, Patmorica continued her teasing, likely to try and regain some face after her authority being openly challenged.
"Should we call it in? Tell Command: 'it's quiet' or ‘I saw some parrots’? With everything else going on in the state, do you think they'll laugh, or do you think they'll...?" The sergeant turned back to face the forest whose edge they were weaving in and out of, turning to start walking up the steep hill again, as if transfixed by something. "Hold on. I've got some thermal there and- hey, are you Ladies picking this up? I've got an IFF..."
Serenie dutifully reported her readings, grateful to at least get the topic changed. "I've got one friendly- two now. Security Forces standard."
Sergeant Patmorica pointed up the steep embankment she'd been about to start walking up. "I'm reading them as being straight ahead on my map. Confirm?"
This time someone else spoke up, and with all the fresh voices and full helmets, Serenie wasn't sure she could place them all. She was too busy staring at the collection of dead and dried branches lining the bottom of the hill.
What might leave such a large swath or create a clearing? A bear? She'd seen a video of one rubbing their backs against trees, one of the first to return to the state of Delaware, dubbed ‘DelaBear. These were certainly very large, unfamiliar trees. She’d never seen anything like them before, much as she’d never seen a Bear. To her mind, she might imagine such a large furry beast seeking out a suitably large tree, for some purpose or other. But she did not see any tufts of fur stuck in the grass or to the bark. And didn’t they only do that when shedding off their loose fur in Spring?
"It's two of the missing Security Forces," reported the sergeant somewhat spiritedly, leading the way toward the hill, the pod moving forward in her wake.
She crouched low again, taking a step back, eyes following where a serpentine footpath ascended the bluff. It was hard for her to make out if there were any footprints or animal tracks in the parched dirt, until at last she saw one near her own footprint. Conclusive evidence eluded her, but she thought she could make out a boot print, and searched her memory. Was it the pattern of the Security Forces uniforms? Was she just searching for signs and evidence, the conclusion already obvious in her mind?
Then she turned in place, and saw the many trampled grasses behind them, only noticeable once the patrol had reached where they had all converged. There were far, *far *too many to be the Security Forces.
"Zell. Zell! Hold here," Serenie whispered, putting her hand out to block her new podmate's progress.
"What?"
"Trust me."
"Privates! Fall in!"
Patmorica's tone was harsh. Serenie motioned like she was going to comply, freezing in place again the moment the sergeant's back was turned to her again. Something about this place seemed wrong. Where were the others of their 'squad'? And why hadn't they reached out to them on the comms yet?
Zell shook her hand free of Serenie's.
"Zell. Zell!"
Zell ignored her.
"Zell, will you stop thinking of fucking your father and turning your family tree into a circle for one depths-damned minute and listen to me!? Something. Is. Wrong."
"What?" Zell hissed, annoyedly. "I'm not getting in trouble just because you have 'a feeling'."
"There's some sort of structure up top. I'm getting metal readings. Way more than just their plate armor. Sensors are reading weird depressions on the way up, too. I'll relay it to your suits' telemetry. Are you receiving this?"
"How do I do that?" Zell asked, tapping her helmet. "Ah to the depths with it. Could it be caves?" Serenie's dimwitted podmate asked, clearly dreading that the answer potentially might be: 'Yes, now we have to go explore them.'
"Didn't you read your briefing? Delaware doesn't have caves." Serenie had read that first upon deployment, and then wondered where all the bats came from.
"Then what is-"
At that point, her comms dropped off completely, replaced with a sharp whine in her ear.
Communications lost. Signal lost.
"Ma'am, Sergeant? Zell? I've got a suit malfunction- I can't hear you." Serenie called out, pressing the button to retract the mouthpiece of her helmet. Her suit's connection to the satellites seemed to have cut out. Most of her HUD blanked out as she stepped forward to be heard, the device no longer receiving data to sync with the other suits and Command. The Friendly IFF signals had winked out as well.
Everyone seemed to be looking amongst each other, slowly coming closer together to be heard, faceplates retracting so they could speak, or touching helmets so the suit would pick up the vibrations.
So it wasn't just her, then, but her podmates, too. All of them were eyeing the hill, now, Serenie's sinking suspicion catching on. Then, everyone was calling out activity at once, some of them pointing in different directions, clumsily sighting down their rifles without the HUD to guide their targeting reticle.
"Everyone fall back. Rifles up- rifles up! Those are not friendlies!"
Movement from the crest of the ridge, figures pointing down at them, including the long barrels of unusual weaponry, the likes of which Serenie had seen glimpses of before, and again in her nightmares. Voices called out over one another, without a comms system to filter or grant priority.
"Motion! I've got motion!"
"It's an ambush!"
"Identify and surrender now! Lay down your weapons!" The sergeant yelled. There was no answer, but neither side opened fire. "Identify yourselves immediately!" Bellowed the sergeant, again, switching her command suit to loudly project her voice in the local tongue. "Surrender immediately!" Serenie was pulling Zell back. They were vastly outnumbered.
Those low, unmistakable, clipped and precise tones of the Emperor of Mankind that her translator didn't need to pick up had her heart thrumming in her ears too loud to even make out the words, no matter how clearly enunciated they were. She knew what they meant well enough, and her steps backward started carrying her out of the woods on instinct.
For what it was worth, her sergeant didn't balk, and renewed her demands.
"Surrender immediately! Lay down your arms!"
The response was as sudden as it was brutal. Where once Sergeant Patmorica had stood, now there was empty air. Something powerful cleaved her in half, a sharp roar of noise following as the hypersonic round split the air in a deafening thunderclap.
She hadn't quite been vaporized, rather jerked clean off her feet by a sudden and terrible impact, boots leaving the ground and her body separated at the middle, halves toppling to the ground and held together by the just as suddenly exposed entrails. The shock of the impact had surely killed her instantly.
Serenie turned on her heel and ran for her life.
I grabbed the megaphone, irritated that I'd been kept waiting so long for them to show up. "We don't have enough facilities to take you all prisoner. Please elect your bravest, most stalwart defenders of your way of life, and have them step forward into the line of fire for us to dispose of. The remainder of you will be afforded the same kindness as you have given our civilians. As you're unfamiliar with democracy and the concept of 'voting,' we'll give you a moment to conform to our system of governance and culture, whether you like it or not. You get an unreasonably short amount of time to comply."
I tossed the Megaphone back down to Larry, who stared up at me with wide eyes. The sound of wind through the trees was all endured for now, a shocked silence settling in.
"What?" I asked, hefting the railgun up to my shoulder with a shrug and aiming down the sights at the one who continued to bellow threats. It seemed we had a volunteer. "Turnabout is fair play."
I raised an open hand to all those who had watched, and the stunned silence turned to eager discipline, men sighting irons and readying themselves to unleash hell as I lowered my hand slowly, indicating I was to take the first shot.
"The Emperor has given his orders!" He bellowed into the megaphone. "Hold the line! Hold for the signal!"
I squeezed off the first round, letting the railgun round kick- and this time I was braced for it. The shot took the woman right in the midsection, and tore her apart. Screaming and shouting from below- but no signs of an immediate mass surrender.
"FIRE!"

Chapter Summary:
Shot Heard Across the Galaxy A poor Shil'vati patrol goes looking for that Security Force that just got blasted in the last chapter
First Contact: We jump POV, where Elias gives them "pretty much the exact terms" of their invasion and occupation, turning it back on them.
Shot Heard Across the Galaxy
Serenie learned some new insults over her comm as a pursuing Captain Goshen had watched the insurgent 'clear a building in a single bound like a retarded kangaroo with viagra in its tail.'" Serenie had never seen a kangaroo, but Earth's nature had fascinated her, and the loose familiarity caused her alone to laugh uproariously at the Captain’s breathless fury.
There were some other matters the Captain had muttered about, such as ‘lies turning truth’ that seemed to elude Serenie’s grasp. One thing that the Captain made certain Serenie did understand was the concept of punishment duty for her laughter. Double-shifts just seemed to be the order of the day, but being sent far afield with these people could hardly be called anything else. The scenery was occasionally something she’d have called nice, if it wasn’t for her present circumstance.
She was stuck with her new podmate, Zell, who it seemed just could *not *shut up.
"Look. All I'm saying is, they're hot. Hotter than the Security Forces 'squad' *we're looking for. *'Squad.' Such a stupid-sounding word."
Serenie's expansive patrol pod had been shattered apart by casualties in the wake of Emperor's attack on Unification Square. The combat patrol had been dropped over twenty feet onto jagged concrete as the overpass they were sprinting across collapsed underneath them into rubble, courtesy of planted explosives. Serenie was one of the only ones to come out with relatively minor injuries and to make a full recovery. She'd even hobbled to the square on a broken leg, just in time to behold the horrific spectacle of the building’s collapse.
Now those cast off shards of incomplete pods had been shuffled and mixed up to serve with some temporarily deployed Shil'vati forces from out-of-state.
Two whole pods made up of the odd numbers from other units, sent to Delaware on punishment duty of their own came together to compose the new team of six out of the hodgepodge. Once Zell had used all her brain to do the math, she announced excitedly: ‘A grateful human boy for each of their rescuers.’
And so the two pods set off with initial enthusiasm, unburdened by much familiarity with one another. That had been three miles ago, and by now the excitement had given way to bitterness over how they were wasting time on a long walk across open, somewhat bleak bulldozed terrain that nature work crews had yet to reclaim, doing Search and Rescue for a bunch of deserters who didn't want to be found at all, instead of rounding up those 'mysterious hot insurgent guys.'
Serenie reflected that at least the razed structures and tall grasses offered a nice view of the vibrant colors the trees were starting to turn. A 'silver lining,' as the more optimistic locals liked to say. 'Well the square was utterly destroyed and you're led by an idiot from a green zone, but at least you're alive!'
The boys here were always upbeat. Then again, they were paid to take their clients' minds off their troubles. And she had to admit they worked better than the stupid Anarevoca. The deep rest in the arms of the man she'd visited while on mandatory medical and psychological leave had done more for her recovery and in then passing the evaluation than anything else she’d tried. She didn’t regret a moment or credit of the exchange, even if the bribes and fees to slip her out and get her the secret rendezvous did her accounts the same kind of damage as she herself had suffered.
She hoped Azraea hadn’t lowered the score just to get every soldier back on the front lines, and switched her line of thought. It did her no benefit to dwell on such things. ‘At least he let me sleep longer than I paid for’, she reflected, remembering the faintly sweet musk of where his shoulder met his neck, and how gently he’d run his fingernails along the back of her head, through her scalp until she fell asleep.
"The insurgents are *not *hot," Serenie muttered. "They're supposedly all too old, too set in their ways to adapt. You know, like, twice your age. You got a father-fucker fetish or something?" Serenie had already had more than an earful of this conversation, and repeating her rent-a-paramour’s comforting words buttressed her conviction. The honeyed sense of validation he’d whispered into her ears was better than dwelling on the possibility that the planet and all the men on it all just outright hated her.
"What, so you got your asses kicked by a bunch of daddies?" At Serenie's stare, her new podmate from New Jersey relented slightly. "Okay, fine. At least admit the *idea *of them is hot. *So *hot.” When Serenie didn’t bite, Zell kept going. “Come on- physically active, mysterious, and just need some love and affection before they realize we aren't so bad, and you win 'em over with -"
"-Yeah, alright, you find one, you try it, you tell me how it goes. If you survive and he’s somehow tolerating even someone like you, then I figure I can swipe him off you."
"Fuck no, we'll share, and you'll be grateful I'm so generous. Seriously, share the insurgency, I say. I can charm 'em so good we'll have peace within the day."
Serenie wondered how Zell had served this long and didn't realize human men tended to be fiercely monogamous. Maybe things were different where Zell served, though Serenie doubted it was.
"That's something I actually wanted to ask. I thought maybe you'd know." Serenie wasn’t sure why Zell might know anything, but it was at least in the area of Zell’s obvious obsessions. "How is 'fuck' an insult? Especially when the humans say words that mean 'fuck you,' but they use it as an insult. But even other forms of it mean ‘get fucked,’ or something."
"You sure it's an insult? Sounds like an invitation, if you ask me. Have you tried asking them ‘when’?"
Just one more addition to the ever-growing mountain of evidence that Zell was an idiot.
The new pod's equally new sergeant was little better, but at least when Sergeant Patmorica interrupted this time, it was focused on the mission. Her comm cut through the half-hearted banter as she made her periodic report at the required interval.
"Command, we've got eyes on a pretty good LZ on the crest of this hill, mark for exfiltration if necessary." Sergeant Patmorica pointed a gauntleted finger to the ridge on the far side of the field. Rote procedure; the last one she'd pointed to would be marked as a secondary. "Got a wide open view of that woods near where the patrol of Security Forces went missing- not seeing much out here in the field. Permission to move into the forest and check for them?"
Data Officer Borzun's voice floated back. "Granted. Relief forces will be en route if you find anything, ETA eleven minutes from Command."
The return signal sounded distant, quieter than normal. Something about that troubled her, but Serenie didn't want to draw the attention of a sergeant eager to prove she was capable of leading a couple pods, or feel she had to prove herself to the red zone veteran. Even more disturbing, Zell looked ready to start talking again.
"How are the other leads looking?" Serenie piped up quickly. At least the sergeant might offer something helpful, even if the information was secondhand.
"Not great. A lot of the people who are *supposed *to be patrolling looking for rebels are responding to the strikes and protests at the prisons, beating up protestors who weren't on any lists, trying to restore some semblance of order," Sergeant Patmorica responded with surprising candor.
"Be a real shame if no one's here. We could be out there helping," Zell picked up the line conversationally as they descended from the crest of the hill near the river, past an old sign that read 'Mister Pasta'. "Instead we're chasing down wayward Security Forces, who probably cut and ran."
"Best lead we've had so far," Patmorica responded.
"Have you heard anything about 'Camp Death'?"
"Just whispers. Nothing solid," Patmorica said, stepping over a half-buried old curb. The work here in leveling the town and returning it to nature had certainly been hurried and half-done. The ridge of the distant trees hadn't expanded outward much at all.
"Supposedly, it's somewhere in the North. We're in the North."
"What, you think Camp Death is actually in the middle of nowhere, somewhere out here? Come on, the town's leveled. There was a bomb that went off literally over there-" Serenie pointed across the rubble of the highway they were walking along. "-Some local shirtless kid pulled a Lieutenant out of the rubble."
"Doesn't seem to have been enough for them to consider saving the neighborhood. Not a chance it's out here; Work crews woulda spotted it."
"Guess the work crews finally got around to really taking the place apart before, you know, 'shit hit the fan.'

First Blood
"Sur-ren-dar!" The call sounded out from the valley below. One of those few words the Shil'vati knew and uttered almost every time we met, often before we'd even begun fighting.I grabbed the megaphone, irritated that I'd been kept waiting so long for them to show up. "We don't have enough facilities to take you all prisoner. Please elect your bravest, most stalwart defenders of your way of life, and have them step forward into the line of fire for us to dispose of.

I squeezed off the first round, letting the railgun round kick- and this time I was braced for it. The shot took the woman right in the midsection, and tore her apart. Screaming and shouting from below- but no signs of an immediate mass surrender.
"FIRE!"

2023.06.01 11:22 final-final-v2 (Why) Do installers keep access to inverters?
I'm new to solar and i's still trying to wrap my head around things before I get a system.
From what I can tell (please tell me if I'm wrong) it seems installers have a "installer account" access to the system and create a "user account" to the home/system owner.
It can be used to "monitor and offer a better support" to the client but... from a security and paranoid point of view it does not make sense.
At this point I'm considering APSystem microinvertes.
Can I gain full control of the system keeping extended warranty?

2023.06.01 11:22 iAssumeThingz practicing in casuals for rank (I'm gold 4).
I'm practicing my play style in casuals trying to unlearn bad habits before I solo que in rank or Duo with my homie. I have a decent understanding of the game already and how certain roles are supposed to be played, but I still feel like I'm missing something to push me in the right direction of my potential.
when I solo in casuals I usually fill, last pick being main tank. my motive is to practice with tanks & know how to hold/create space (I heard main tanks do both). I'm usually last pick in rank so I don't want to throw any matches & be the cause for losing the entire game. either i go main tank or off tank. i know I'm supposed to be in off lanes with my flank majority of the time if I'm an off tank, but when they aren't with me to secure kills its like I just shut down. majority of the time I stay in the off lane to make sure no one gets through or I back up. worst case scenario a dps and tank ensuing to butt fuck me while my flank dives their backline for a healer then dies a fruitless death. if I don't die, to my knowledge I'm left with either option A or B depending on the circumstance. A, go back to protect my healer or B, stay in the off lane.
If I even attempt either one
whenever I win games & felt like I underperformed but contrarily the scoreboard says otherwise, I'm usually not proud of it. why? because if I go against someone such as a Plat, diamond, or grandmaster I know I'll get punished for it 9/10. I'm stuck saying "I should've played better that game".
I come from comp on cod and my team mates I scrim with we all agreed score doesn't mean anything to a certain extent as long we fulfill our role. i mean who the hell is gonna frag out and go 40-2 in a scrim with players near or at your skill level. so I guess it's a subconscious thing I picked up overtime, it became a daily affirmation whenever I play.
I was usually main AR on the team and had to control certain parts of the map , make sure to watch the cross, so there's a lot of pressure on me.
or like last year during MW before I quit , I was a flex player.
as I said, I'm essentially in the process of replacing some my bad habits with good ones because I want to build a better foundation overall.
sorry for ranting, I just went 22/11 with vora on serpent Beach & loss. we was getting pissed on early rounds before I fixed how should've been playing the entire time but it was too late by then.
I know I need practice but I think honestly think I need a full guide on every role so I can reevaluate my game play despite me knowing what to do to an extent. I wanna have enough knowledge on all roles so I know when to break the rules.
look man, I'm determined to be good at this game even though it's probably too late but still my statement stands.
ranging from ATTACKS > FLANKS> SUPPORTS > OFF TANKS > MAIN TANKS
I know it'll take a bit of time to get used to but aye it's worth in long term wise.

If I even attempt either one
- my support goes down the main lane and dies then rest of have us either retreat for a soft reset or we all die due to obviously being outnumbered then we get hardzoned.
- the off lane is left open then we get flanked by the off tank and flank
- everyone is everywhere then I get confused on what to do

2023.06.01 11:21 Finding_purpose_7 From Accountant to SEA
Hi! nags-scroll po ako sa FB last week and may nakita akong ads from Accenture. Hiring daw sila ng Software Engineering Associate. So nag apply ako thru FB.
26th of May naka-tanggap ako ng text regarding the role. I checked the requirements and need na graduate ng IT courses or computer science. So di na ako nag proceed since Acctg graduate ako. 30th of May naman nag follow up ulit ang Accenture. Chineck ko ulit ung link and nakita ko na open to any courses yung Functional Development and Application/ Modern Support.
Gusto ko sana mag apply pero magiging available for work pa ako sa October 2023 since nagrereview ako for CPALE. I know na bakit pa ako nag apply sa FB kung di ko naman itutuloy. Akala ko kasi magiging matagal ang reply nila tulad sa ibang big companies na nagiilang months bago ka mareplyan.
I am really interested sa programming and UI/UX design kaya medyo nanghihinayang rin ako.
Need ko lang po sana ng advice or answer regarding: Kung hindi ko po ba itutuloy ang pag-apply using the link na binigay, maba-black listed po ba ako? eto po talaga major concern ko huhu
Thank you po in advance sa sasagot.

2023.06.01 11:20 Void_Vixen Just make the damn phone call!
So I'm getting married 6th July 2023 (YAY US!) and I've been stressing about writing my vows. In the UK you can say your own vows with the legal ones, but you need to write them in advance so they can be reviewed by your registrar (as we are having a non-religious ceremony they need to check our vows aren't spiritual or religious, etc.). Makes it all a bit less magical, but ok I'll abide by the rules.
I've been stressing for weeks thinking we needed to submit these vows 8 weeks in advance for review. Now if you can do maths, you'll realise that we are in fact 5 weeks from my wedding date, not 8. So yeah, I've been absolutely pulling my hair own thinking I haven't even finished my vows and I don't want to call the registrar to check if I can still submit. I've just been spiralling into a black hole of despair about it thinking I'd ruined any chance of us having the ceremony we wanted. I haven't told my fiancé either because I didn't want to worry him. I know he hasn't finished writing his vows either, but to him there is no deadline (because I booked the ceremony and was given all the information). So I'm terrified that he will think I'm useless and will not want to marry me anymore (I love catastophising).
Well I finally got the courage to ring this morning. And the 8 week deadline? Yeah I made that up in my head. I don't even know where that came from! The registrar was super supportive and said "It's your special day, just get them to me when you can. I don't want you to stress." 🥹 Holy shit. I was sobbing. I was so annoyed with myself for not getting clarity sooner. I've put on 6lbs from stress eating the last 2 weeks as well. All of this could have been avoided with one phone call.
So yeah, I know it feels hard. But make the damn phone call, book the appointment, go to the thing, I promise its way better than ignoring the issue!

2023.06.01 11:20 georgi_19993 Is it panick attack or Heart Condition? Need an advice.
Hello guys.
I started this year with good health and one thought: Tio start going to fitness in order to get back to my fitness body level and start feeling more active and good.
It was 24th of February and I returned from a 1 hour Gym cario session. Get a shower and with my wife started waching a movie on the TV. I was realxing and watching a fine movie and then suddenly I get cold sweats, got two extrasystoles which I felt like my hert stops and then starts two times but felt like it I had a stone for a heart. Saw my two beats in my chests - pounding.
Then suddenly my heart starting beating really fast - 160 - 170 BPM. Told my wife to call an ambulance, and while we're waiting for it, she took my BP with a device. The interesting part is that the device couldn't catch my current BP and Pulse. My wife told me that she could see my heart beating trough my chest. I was totally scared. My veins on the legs and on the arms became from vissible to hidden. I started breating slowly but deeply, which did not work. For almost 10 minutes I did this breathing excecise. AFter that the ambulance came and the doctors there took my Blood Sugar levels and my Blood Pressure. It turned aout that my Blood Sugar was 5.0, and my blood pressure was 160/110 with 140 pulse. They told me that I had panick attack and to calm down.
After they left and tehre was 5 minutes after it, I god another cold sweats and fast heart beat all over again. I felt like I'm gonna die. Called them again to get back ASAP. They did and took me into the ER. In the ER they started waching my BP and heart rate. My BP was 140/90 and my heart rate was 97 constant. They told me there that it might be due to Electrolyte Imbalance. They gave me Natrium Bromide and told me to go home and sleep it off. I did that, Slept it off, then the next morning I get up normally, made myself a coffee and got to the PC because my work is stationary. Then suddenly, my stomach felt like it is swallowing itsleft and then cold feet and hands, and then again another high BP and pulse episode. Called EMS and they told me that if I didn't have chest pains, left or right shoulder pain or numbness and neck or jaw pain and numbness I had panick attack and to calm down. But I was not satisfied with that. So in the same moment I made an appointment with Cardiologist.
Got to the Cardiologist which put me trough EKG, listened to my heart, saw it under Echocardiogram and told me that nothing wrong with my heart. But prescribed me Nebivolol of 5 miligrams one tablet per day for a week because of my high blood pressure. Nebivolol made my life sucks more and I stopped it after taking it for 2 days. I couldn't deal with it more. Then these episodes came back with full steam. Started managing it with Yogurt and cinnamon, but it was not enough. Made another apointmet to another cardiologist for second opinion. The second Docotr, told me that it was I was obese, but my heart was very healthy. I didn't belive that. Also she told me to take blood tests. I did it and all my blood tests was very good.
She advised me to walk 10 KM per day at minimum and to lose 10 KG in three months. I did take this advise serously but she didn't prescribed anything only that I can continue taking yougurt with cinnamon to control my BP. I was not satisifed, because it wasn't a solutuion nor a cure for me. It happened again. Then I made an apointment to another Cardiologist. He took EKG but while taking it, I was having panic attack or anxiety attack one of these, and my heart rate was 94 and my BP was 140/90. On the EKG he saw VT displacement and told me to go for Coronography. I was stunned and shoked at first and my BP and pusle got to the roof. Again I was not satisfied.
Then I started to search for the best Cardiologinst in the town and stumble accros it in a Forum where people with really bad heart conditions started to recover from him. Called him and made an appointment. When I got to his office with all my EKGs, Heart Echoes and blood work results, he told me that he saw a really healthy heart and nothing to worry about. For the EKG that showed VT displacement a bit, he told me that this could happen during panick or anxiety attack.
He put me on EKG and did these test:
- Normal ekg while I was breathing normally. Showed the same thing. He told me that this is not correct and told me to take deep breath and hold it for at least 30 seconds while he will take another EKG to exclude any heart damage or issues.
- After taking deep breath for 30 secs, my pulse from 95 dropped to 65, and all my EKG was normal without any displacement and any of that shit. He told me that most doctors doesn't bother to do it, because either they don't have the necessary experience or they don't care.
Took echo of my heart, my blood vessels, kidneys, liver and arteries. Told me that everything is good. And I get panick attacks from the gases that are in my colon, which displace my diaphragm and which in turn displaces my heart. I get extrasystoles and then sudden panick attacks. Prescribed me Concor of 5mg to taking it morning and night by 2x 2.5mg for 15 days, and then 2,5mg for another 15 days and then to throw it away. I did that. No more High BP, ocasionally extrasystoles but when I ate or I feel full and bent over or duck. No more high pusle. I was relieved, very relieved.
After this month I decided to stop it as the doctor told me. After 1 week the symthoms got back. Started taking it again only 2,5mg per day. Symthoms managed. Now I am at a crossroad here. Almost every doctor tells me that my heart is good and healthy, there is no heart conditions at all. I started walking and taking medications for my gas issues. Also I turned to the EASTERN MEDICINE (Chinese Medicine) Acupuncture. Today I treid again for almost 5 days I felt good until today which another episode. And I feel again like shit.Heart rate 115-120, couldn't take BP because I was outside and it was really hot (It is summer) and I was in sweat eveyrwhere on my body because of the hot weather. I get back home without feeling my heart rate at all. Got to the bathroom and did my job there, and then BAM -> extrasystole two times. No high pulse more than 120bpm but still it's not good. Took Concor 2,.5mg and my symptoms got away after 10-15 minutes.
I need and advise now: To start check for General Panic Disorder or another appoinmtment with my last Cardiologist who was the best at least for me or to look for another dcotor. I am taking also magnesium 500 mg per day as supplement.
Thank you guys for your support here!
Much appreciated!

2023.06.01 11:19 tugapilot Considering buying a second hand Macan
The lease of my car is ending next month and out of curiosity I checked the local market for second hands cars. There’s some Macans from 2017/2018 that are in my budget and after a quick test drive I very much like it.
Are there any known failures that I should look for? Do all Macans support Apple car play, even if wired? Can I upgrade the head unit (I think the PCM?) from the one with the vents on the side to the wider one with vents below the screen?
Is the cruise control installed adaptive by default or this is not a common extra?
Sorry for the ignorance but I’m at very early stages of my research and it’s all very confusing! Thanks

2023.06.01 11:19 fletch44 Tablet control of old AVID consoles. A tale of woe.
Well the woe is just the price. I have 5 Fridays in a row mixing cover bands (not my chosen career, but so it goes) in a venue that is finally switching back to live music after 3 years of covid-induced DJ entertainment.
FOH mixer is an SC48. I went in to prep the stage and mixer before the first night, as this month is just a trial to see how the punters spend their money when confronted with real live musical acts and energy, and I would like everything to go smoothly.
After being so used to remote control for stage monitors from FOH, I am truly bummed at the situation with AVID consoles. I found V-Remote on the Apple app store (breaks my heart that I had to buy an ipad just for times like this, Android user that I am) and it costs $50 in kangaroo money. Woah nelly.
As a Mixing Station user from the very start, I am taken aback. But, I can see why. Development would have been a pain, because AVID consoles by their very nature apparently prevent remote access to parameter values for channels and FX and whatnot. The developer states in his documentation that the app actually uses OCR and pixel recognition on the remotely accessed display to determine a lot of the channel information.
But 50 dollerydoos. $10 a mix, to be able to hear the wedges as I turn the vocal up in them during soundcheck. I doubt I'll ever see a live SC48 or Profile in the wild again outside of this venue.
Deary deary me. That's 4 pints of cold beer I'll never be able to buy. Yes, beer in this town is also a ridiculous price.
There's no demo mode in V-Remote, and I haven't managed to get it connected to the offline software, so tomorrow night will be a voyage of discovery.
If anyone is familar with the V-Remote software and has some tips, tricks and downfalls to beware of, I am all ears. I can't imagine it's being used a lot anymore, considering the last software update for the actual mixer was 2012 and it's no longer officially supported by AVID.

I found V-Remote on the Apple app store (breaks my heart that I had to buy an ipad just for times like this, Android user that I am) and it costs $50 in kangaroo money. Woah nelly.
As a Mixing Station user from the very start, I am taken aback. But, I can see why. Development would have been a pain, because AVID consoles by their very nature apparently prevent remote access to parameter values for channels and FX and whatnot. The developer states in his documentation that the app actually uses OCR and pixel recognition on the remotely accessed display to determine a lot of the channel information.
But 50 dollerydoos. $10 a mix, to be able to hear the wedges as I turn the vocal up in them during soundcheck. I doubt I'll ever see a live SC48 or Profile in the wild again outside of this venue.
Deary deary me. That's 4 pints of cold beer I'll never be able to buy. Yes, beer in this town is also a ridiculous price.
There's no demo mode in V-Remote, and I haven't managed to get it connected to the offline software, so tomorrow night will be a voyage of discovery.
If anyone is familar with the V-Remote software and has some tips, tricks and downfalls to beware of, I am all ears. I can't imagine it's being used a lot anymore, considering the last software update for the actual mixer was 2012 and it's no longer officially supported by AVID.

SEO services are a great way to do just that. SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimisation”, and it involves using certain techniques to make sure your website is seen by as many people as possible. In this article, we’ll discuss what SEO services are, why they are useful, how much they cost, which ranking factors they focus on, and more. If you’re curious about how SEO can help boost your business or website’s success, read on! What Are SEO Services?If you’re looking to get your website noticed, SEO services can help! Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising a website or web page in order to increase its visibility and ranking on search engine results pages. This can include activities such as making sure that your website is coded correctly, creating content that uses relevant keywords, and making sure that your website links are working properly. SEO helps you reach more potential customers who are actively searching for products or services like yours.In addition to helping improve your visibility on search engines, SEO services also work to drive more traffic to your website by improving its overall user experience. By using techniques like keyword research and optimising websites for mobile devices, SEO professionals can ensure that users quickly find what they’re looking for on each page of your site. With improved usability comes increased engagement with visitors which leads to better conversions. When selecting an SEO service provider, it is important to look for one with a good track record in helping businesses achieve their desired goals. Look for companies that offer packages tailored specifically to the needs of businesses within your industry as well as those offering ongoing support and advice based on the latest developments in search engine optimisation technologies. Working with an experienced team will allow you to maximise the impact of their efforts at every stage from strategy development through implementation and monitoring long-term success metrics. An effective SEO plan should be built around understanding customer behaviour and delivering content targeted at meeting their needs while staying up-to-date with changes in search engine algorithms so that you remain competitive in today’s fast-paced digital marketplaces. A successful strategy requires taking into account both technical aspects such as coding structure and content marketing tactics such as social media promotion – all designed to bring users closer towards becoming loyal customers of yours! Why Use SEO Services?Investing in SEO can be a great way to increase your online visibility and reach more potential customers. By optimising your website for search engines, you’re able to ensure that it appears higher up in search engine rankings, which means more people will see it. Additionally, SEO services can help you target specific keywords related to your business and industry. This allows you to create content tailored towards the needs of the audience you want to attract, as well as increasing your chances of showing up in relevant searches.SEO services also make sure that any content created is optimised for mobile devices. Mobile searches are becoming increasingly popular, so ensuring that your website is optimised for them is essential if you want to remain competitive. Additionally, having an SEO-optimised site makes it easier for search engines like Google and Bing to crawl your website and index its pages properly. This helps improve user experience and increases the chances of people finding what they’re looking for quickly and easily. Another reason why investing in SEO services is a good idea is because it can help improve brand recognition. When someone sees your website appearing prominently in relevant search results, they’re more likely to remember it next time they need something related to what you offer. Furthermore, having an optimised website makes sure that any visitors who do find their way there have a positive user experience, which further reinforces the value of your brand in their mind. Finally, using SEO services ensures that all parts of your digital presence work together harmoniously instead of competing with each other or working against each other’s goals. An experienced SEO agency will understand how different elements such as social media accounts or blog posts fit into the bigger picture and optimise them accordingly so everything works together cohesively towards reaching common objectives like increased sales or greater awareness about a particular topic or product line. How Much Do SEO Services Cost?Getting SEO services can be a great way to skyrocket your online visibility, so it’s important to understand the cost involved. When you’re considering an SEO provider and evaluating their costs, it’s important to remember that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to pricing. It all depends on what type of service you need, how many hours will go into the project, and the level of expertise required for successful implementation. In other words, some projects may require more time or specialised skills than others.The average cost for basic SEO services such as keyword research, content optimisation and link building can range anywhere from $300 – $3,000 per month depending on the scope of work required. More complex projects such as website redesigns or comprehensive campaigns may require significantly more investment in order to achieve success. Additionally, depending on how quickly you need results and the complexity of your campaign goals, some providers may charge by hour instead of offering a monthly package price. It’s also important to note that working with an experienced professional is likely going to cost you more initially than working with someone who just started out in the industry – but they’ll probably get better results faster too! An experienced consultant will have access to cutting edge resources and techniques that can save you time and money down the line while still delivering exceptional results. When choosing a provider for your SEO needs make sure you do your due diligence: ask about their experience in similar projects; inquire about their methodologies; request references; compare pricing structures; evaluate guarantees; pay attention to customer support policies etcetera – all these factors should be taken into consideration before making any kind of commitment or signing any contracts. Doing this ensures that both parties are clear about expectations from each other in terms of quality service delivery at an agreed upon rate – ensuring everyone is happy once the job is complete. Which Ranking Factors Do SEO Services Optimise for?Unlocking the highest rankings possible requires optimising for several important factors, and experienced SEO professionals can help you do just that. Search engine optimisation (SEO) services are designed to optimise your website and content to increase its visibility in search engine results pages. Ranking factors determine the position of a given webpage in organic search results, so it’s vital to understand which ones SEO services optimise for.The most important ranking factor is quality content. Good SEO practices focus on making sure your content is relevant and engaging for users, as well as optimised for both humans and search engines. Content should also be regularly updated with fresh information in order to keep visitors coming back repeatedly. Content should contain keywords related to the topic being discussed in order to attract potential customers or readers looking for specific information about a particular topic. Links are also an essential part of any successful SEO campaign – they’re key indicators of authority and relevance when it comes to ranking websites. An experienced SEO provider will establish quality links from authoritative sources such as government sites, educational institutions, and industry-related websites that link back to your site or blog posts. This helps strengthen your website’s credibility within the eyes of the search engine algorithms. Technical optimisation is another aspect of good SEO practice – understanding how things like page speed affect user experience can have an impact on rankings too. A professional SEO team will examine various aspects of your website such as coding errors, redirects, sitemaps, image tags/alt text etc., ensuring everything runs smoothly so users can enjoy a fast loading website without interruption or frustration when navigating through its pages. Understanding these technical aspects is crucial if you want top rankings on major search engines like Google or Bing! What Should SEO Services Include?Let’s explore what SEO services should include. First, a custom strategy should be developed to target the unique needs of each website, taking into account its current ranking and the competition. Secondly, an SEO audit will help identify any areas where optimisation is needed; this includes both on-page and off-page optimisations. Finally, ongoing optimisation and monthly reports are essential for tracking ROI and ensuring that your website continues to stay competitive in the ever-changing landscape of search engine algorithms.Custom StrategyCrafting a custom strategy to maximise results is key in unlocking your website’s potential. It goes without saying that no two businesses, websites, or webpages are exactly alike; as such, what works for one website may not work for another. That’s why it is essential to craft a custom SEO strategy tailored specifically to the needs of your business and the goals you wish to achieve with your website. With personalised tactics and an expert understanding of search engine algorithms, you can ensure that your content reaches its full potential and stands out from competitors in organic search results.The best way to design an effective SEO plan is by consulting with professionals who specialise in this field.

Additionally, they can also optimise each page on your site according to the specific requirements of each major search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo! Furthermore, they can provide ongoing support and guidance so that you stay ahead of changing trends and keep up-to-date with new developments within the industry. By crafting a custom strategy based on the unique needs of your business, you can be sure that you are getting the most out of every effort made towards achieving success online. SEO AuditOnce you’ve crafted your strategy, it’s time to do a thorough SEO audit to make sure everything is in tip-top shape. An SEO audit helps identify any areas where your website isn’t performing well and can provide valuable insights into what needs to be improved. It should also take into account any changes that have been made over time, such as URL structure or page titles, so you can ensure they are still optimised for search engines.The key elements of an SEO audit include checking the technical aspects of your website like server speed, coding errors and redirects. You’ll also want to review how easily users can navigate your site, as well as analyse the quality and quantity of content on each page. And finally, you’ll need to check for external factors such as backlinks from other authoritative sites and social media presence – both of which help boost organic rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs). Off-page OptimizationIt’s time to take your website to the next level with off-page optimisation! Off-page optimisation is a powerful way to bring more attention to your site, increase its search engine ranking and drive more visitors. It involves activities such as link building, content marketing, social media engagement and more. By creating quality backlinks from reputable websites, you can improve your website’s visibility in search engines. Content marketing is also an effective way to reach out to new audiences and build relationships with them. Through content creation, you can establish yourself as an authority in your field while introducing potential customers or clients to your products or services. Social media is another great tool for marketing your website; by engaging with users on platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, you can promote awareness of your brand and attract new leads who may be interested in what you have to offer. All these strategies are key components of successful off-page optimisation that will help boost the success of your website in no time!On-page OptimizationTake your website to the next level with on-page optimisation – it’s an essential way to get noticed, boost rankings and draw in more visitors! On-page optimisation is the process of optimising individual web pages so that they are more attractive to search engines. This includes ensuring that all titles, meta tags, headings, content and images are optimised for the keywords you want your page to rank for. By taking a strategic approach to keyword research and using targeted SEO tools, you can ensure that each page on your site has optimised content. Additionally, by utilising structured data markup and creating a comprehensive internal link structure within your website, you can further improve how search engines crawl and index your pages. With these tactics in place, you will be well on your way towards improving organic visibility and generating higher search engine rankings.Ongoing OptimizationContinually optimising your website is key to staying ahead of the competition and ensuring your visitors have a great experience. Ongoing optimisation requires a strategic approach that involves consistently maintaining, analysing, and improving your website performance. This includes monitoring and refining various aspects of the website such as its content, structure, loading speed, usability, etc. It also includes keeping up with search engine updates to ensure that you are meeting their ever-changing requirements for high rankings. Additionally, it entails conducting regular competitor research to identify any areas where you can make improvements that will give you an edge over them in the SERPs. By implementing these ongoing optimisation tactics, you will be able to ensure that your ranking remains consistent and continues to improve over time.Monthly ReportsStaying on top of your website’s performance requires monthly reports to keep track of progress and identify areas for improvement. With regular reporting, you can stay ahead of the game and make sure that your SEO efforts are effective. Monthly reports provide you with a snapshot of how well your website is doing, as well as highlight any changes that need to be made. They also help you monitor the competition and compare trends in search engine ranking.Monthly reports give you an overview of key metrics such as organic traffic, page views, keyword rankings, backlinks, and more. This information is essential for understanding how effective your SEO strategies have been over time and what steps need to be taken to further improve them. Additionally, they give meaningful insights into customer behaviour which can help inform future decisions about content creation and marketing campaigns. Monthly reports offer invaluable insight into the performance of your website so that you can make informed decisions about how best to optimise it for success. ROI TrackingTracking your return on investment (ROI) is essential for gaining insights into the success of your SEO efforts, allowing you to make more informed decisions about how to best optimise your website for maximum performance. ROI tracking is a critical part of any successful SEO strategy and helps you measure the impact of your campaigns against the cost. With an accurate understanding of what’s working and what isn’t, you can make changes that will have greater impact and drive better results. You’ll also be able to identify areas where you might need additional resources or expertise, helping you better allocate budget and time in order to maximise returns. Knowing where and when to invest in SEO will help keep your business ahead of its competitors and ensure long-term success in an ever-changing digital landscape.What is an Example Of SEO Services?Through the strategic implementation of search engine optimisation tactics, an example of SEO services could be seen in the increased visibility of a website on search engine results pages. By ensuring that the content is optimised with relevant keywords and phrases, organic search results can be improved. This helps attract more visitors to your site because they are more likely to find it when searching for related topics.By optimising meta descriptions, titles, and other parts of each page’s HTML code, SEO professionals also make sure that each page is properly indexed by major search engines such as Google and Bing. This allows users to easily access relevant information through online searches. Additionally, by using link building techniques like guest blogging and directory submissions, websites can gain authority for their chosen field or industry and improve their ranking on SERPs. SEO professionals may also help you create localised content which increases the chances of appearing in local searches related to your business or area of expertise. This type of content has been proven to increase website traffic significantly since people tend to prefer local businesses over those located far away from them. Furthermore, SEO experts can advise clients on how to effectively use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter in order to generate more web traffic as well as increase brand awareness among potential customers online. Additionally, SEO services involve monitoring website analytics such as bounce rate and user engagement metrics so that any necessary changes can be made quickly in order to optimise performance across all channels.
