Does sun rong die

46 year old mom to 16M. I got pregnant from a hook-up. It was my fault, as I didn't thought about asking him to wear a condom. I am not proud of this and if I could turn back in time, I'd do it differently.
The only time I saw his father was on that night. I choose not to look for him because it was a shot in the dark. I didn't had the resources to look for him.
I still choose to raise him. My family welcomed him with opened arms and helped me take care of him. I never dated again after this and focused on doing my best in raising him.
A few weeks ago, after some questions he had made about the issue, I've decided it was time to sit down with him and explain to him what happened. He had a very bad reaction.
He was extremely angry, which I understand. I would be too. I told him I was sorry. However, he said somethings that really punched me in the gut. Namely, he said he was ashamed to be my son and said that what I did is something a prostitute does. Then he told me that our relationship was done.
The tension has already died down, but I can see he is still very angry at me. We don't have the same intimacy anymore and we don't talk to each other in the same way. He avoids me when at home.
I know that I should have been more responsable at the time and that I should have tried to look for his father. But inspite of that, I've always tried my best to own up to my actions and I love him deeply. I'm afraid he'll never forgive me now.
How do I fix our relationship?

My (25F) husband (27M) & I have a mutual friend (29M). This mutual friend has been involved in an off & on relationship with his partner who has cheated on him multiple times, laughed in his face about it, never apologized, etc. they have recent gotten back together and we do not see this mutual friend as much. We have tried inviting him and his partner out multiple times, always met with an excuse or barrier. Our friend does not seem as happy to be in this relationship again. For example, not being in a good mood, visually depressed looking, experiencing stomach issues, not doing things he enjoys doing (riding motorcycle, working on cars, going out), and not being responsive to messages and phone calls.
In December, we went out for a trivia night at dinner. Our friend’s partner called us assholes, stating that we had negative body language towards her. I did not agree with her that we acted that way towards her, but still apologized several months later when I saw her next (I do not have her added on any social medias nor have her phone number). I had told our mutual friend it was unfair that he is ignoring us, due to his partner. His response was to “just give it time” & I told him that it was unfair to us to wait on the sidelines to be friends again because his partner disapproves, for no true reason. He replied with, “it’s not fair to me either”.
A couple weeks ago, we went golfing and I told our friend & his partner that I would pay for their dinner & would love for them to come to an escape room with us. I tried to make small talk with her only to be met with one worded answers. Our mutual friend thanked me three different times for buying them dinner, his partner did not thank me at all. The next day, I mentioned to our friend that his partner did not thank me at all for dinner, as I thought this was kind of rude given how hard I have tried to make her feel welcomed & amend issues. He had relayed to my husband & I that she said, “what do they want me to do, get on my knees and thank them?”
It definitely appears to me that there is some sort of emotional/manipulation/abuse cycle going on. We relayed to him that we love & support him, but will not continue this rollercoaster of friendship. At this point, my husband & I have cut ties with this mutual friend because he is continuing to allow & enable her behavior. My husband sent a long text message to which this mutual friend didn’t reply. Should we let this friendship die or try another tactic?

If Spider Man India’s captain is supposed to die and Miles’ dad is supposed to die, why chase after The Spot at all? Why not just let him play it out? Wouldn’t catching him before it all plays out disrupt the canon anyway? Does Miguel secretly want to disrupt the canon? Didn’t really seem that way if so. Again, I may be missing something.
Edit: I think the canon disrupt is bullshit. Miles’s dad being and canon event and Miles’ himself being an anomaly is contradictory. They both can’t be true.

Might want to sit down with a brew for this one because this turned into an essay i'm sorry.
I've seen so many people especially after season two just downright hating Eloise for not wanting to accept the misogynistic society that she lives in so i'm giving my input because I can.
A lot of people mention that she's overly privileged and that her feminism isn't intersectional, Bridgerton season one takes place in 1813, women weren't allowed to vote until 1918, 105 years later and only over the age of 30. I do agree that modern feminism should be intersectional, but when women's rights weren't even a thought to seemingly anyone in the show other than Eloise, i'm not suprised her feminism is basic and selfish.
In season 2, two moments that stuck out to me were the birthing scene where Anthony who couldn't have been more than 20-25 has to choose between his dying mother who is bleeding out but physically begging for her life, or his siblings, his mother's choice is overruled by the fact that she has a son, and his choice determines whether she gets to live or is forced to die whether she wants that or not.
The other moment is when they give Anthony Eloise's trauma, whilst i'm not disputing Anthony had trauma from being the eldest boy and his father dying, Eloise was the one who actually watched him die, that trauma made her who she is in a way and they took her pain and gave it to Anthony to further his character arc instead of hers when the time comes, unless they do a retcon she never gets that character defining moment back, which you can say that her trauma does not define her but then why did the writers give that trauma to Anthony if it affects nothing.
Let's talk about the trauma they did give Eloise, her birth trauma, something I don't remember if they touched on in the books but they did in the show. Eloise has had 2 scenes to do with hearing her mother almost dying from birthing her siblings, we see it in season 2 and in season 1 she refences it because she is terrified that she's going to lose her older sister to giving birth, it scares her, it makes her panic and yet it's treated as if Eloise is just being silly or naive, she has nowhere to put these feelings because nobody validates them, she is scared of childbirth and yet her mother fails to explain sex and actively stops her brothers from telling her (even if they weren't being very good teachers) because it's deemed she's too young except that year was supposed to be her season aswell, she just deferred, so she would be allowed to look for a husband but not know how to 'produce heirs'.
There's a lot of amazing things about the Bridgertons but their waving off of Eloise everytime she mentions maybe not treating women like objects they act like she's a problem, they like her rebellious attitude until she actually may have a point then they refuse to look at themselves in the mirror Eloise is holding up because that would be too much trouble.
Anyway my point is, yes women should be able to sew without being ridiculed, they should be able get married and have babies and not be labelled sheep but equally they should be allowed to wear a pair of trousers, be allowed to meet with a boy without risking their families reputation, but they can't and the misogyny in the fandom because Eloise regects that 'traditional' aspect of life and talks down about it because nobody else will, nobody else has mentioned that these women in Bridgerton are just calves trussed up for auction, they don't get any real choice and yes the Bridgerton women get more choice than others but when your mother is screaming that she wants to live and your brother is the one getting to make that decision, wouldn't you be angry too whatever your station was.
Also loads of people are going to comment that it's just a rom-com show but it's not, if people can make comments about Eloise's feminism not being good enough then I can make a post like this.

i know, i know, the last thing you ever want is for a boss to drag on for what feels like forever. but, in the strangest way, there was nothing boring about it.
i died once, right towards the end of my first attempt, then got it second try. over the course of that period of time i learned the boss's mechanics, patterns, etc and while my execution was very imperfect, it made the eventual kill all the more satisfying. i also really like the limited potions and it makes my optional heal as a druid feel more worthwhile as well (i chose druid bc i heard the early game was very challenging, which, yeah, it is, much more challenging than sorcerer was when i played it in the beta)
how banal would this task seem to anyone who's not a fuckin psycho like me LMAO i imagine this is a very unpopular opinion, but for me it made the slow, tense grind down on the boss's hp worth it, just... something is so satisfying about it. idk. it's very rare for me to enjoy such things, what does everyone else think?

The reason I ask this is because I was bored and decided to figure out what each of my favorite classes were using my least favorite subject in school, math. I only counted the base servants (unless I felt two versions were too different) for each of the classes and then broke them down by percentage of which ones I liked. These are the results divided by the main seven classes and the extra classes (excluding Shielder). This has also made me curious if any of my fellow FGO players have a favorite servant class?
I will say though, I feel that many of these were brought down due to my lack of knowledge on several of the servants in classes such as Lancer and Rider.
Main Seven Classes:
Archer (76%): Ah yes, the one where the appropriate reaction is something along the line of, "in other news, people die when they are killed." I was introduced to fate through Fate/Apocrypha and one of the servants that caught my eye immediately was Atalanta. From there I grew to like EMIYA because of Fate/UBW, and Gilgamesh and Arjuna because of Extella Link. Even if this wasn't the case, this probably still would have been my top class, as I was a stealth archer in Skyrim long before I realized just how overpowered that build was.
Assassin (64%): Perhaps the class most benefited by how I did this, mainly due to the Hassans and murder daughter (Jack). Not really much else to say either then, guy who likes stealth builds likes stealth based characters. Also, if don't keep Jack looking like her first ascension, I am judging you.
Caster (61%): I'm both surprised and unsurprised by where this ended up. This is because I sort of knew right out the gate that this class would be the one that benefited most because of my liking towards individual characters in this class. Merlin, book daughter (Nursery Rhyme), Helena Blavatsky, Nitocris, Scheherazade, etc.
Rider (59%): This is two below where I would have ranked it if I hadn't done it this way. I like strong personalities and I like animals, something this class gives in abundance. It's also filled with men and women that make my bi heart flutter. Ozymandias, Astolfo, Medb, Boudica, etc.
Saber (56%): Ah yes, the one class that I truly didn't know if it would benefit from how I was doing this ranking. For the most parts, while I have always found the sabers relatively interesting, they were never the ones that caught my eyes the most. It helps that as a long-long-time fantasy fan, sword wielding heroes are a dime a dozen for me.
Lancer (54%): The instant I decided to do this, I knew that this would be the class to suffer the most. It is my third favorite class of the main seven and is relegated to almost the bottom on this list. My deepest apologies to my fellow lancer fans and to my three favorite lancers; Karna, Scathach, and Artoria Pendragon (Lancer).
Berserker (53%): For all the surprising things for this list to me, it amazes me that the main classes I would have labeled as my favorite and least favorite are exactly the same. Its members honestly never really interested me as much as their peers in the other classes. They were just never the servants I latched on to like the Archers, Riders, and Lancers.
Extra Classes:
Moon Cancer (100%): BB, Archetype: Moon, and Jinako. I like all three of these characters, and as a result, this class wound up being a 100%. Not much else to say, other than if it had more characters, it would probably be lower.
Foreigner (78%): Ah yes, my favorite extra class, and no not just because it's filled with cosmic horror stuff. Okay, mainly that, but they also have pancake daughter (Abigail Williams).
Alter Ego (66%): The extra class that truly did benefit from how I did this. Had I done this purely on personal preference, it would be competing for last place with Moon Cancer. Luckily though, they have three of the Sakura Five, Bazett, and Kirei.
Avenger (50%): Not my favorite class, nor one I tend to find that interesting, but it does have some nifty servants. I think this shows that even if you find the class dull, that doesn't mean the servants in the class are dull.
Ruler (33%): This, this one suffers greatly from one major factor. The few I do know, I like, but I only know like three.
Pretender (0%): Like the class, it seems rather interesting. Patroclus could be a good addition for this class. But I have no idea who any of these people are.

So, as we know from the new timeline, Ralathor wasn't born in the original dimension. He is from the terrorvortex. And we also know that the Ralathor who tells Angus about the secret way through the caverns is the one from the 38B timeline, which is in the future. This has some interesting implications:

1. The reason why Ralathor Prime is hiding in the tunnels for 300+ years might be because he is searching for the secret passage all this time, without success
2. He might aswell be lost in the caverns during the events of the first album

And more importantly, this raises the question *WHY DIDN'T HE WARN ANGUS OR RALATHOR PRIME ABOUT THE CLONE?*
Now here the paradox kicks in: if he told Angus about the clone, there would be no 38B timeline, and therefore he would never know the secret passage, and the timeline where Angus wins is not possible; yet, if he does not tell angus about the clone, then the 38B timeline would take place, and this is impossible because there is no Space Dundee in this timeline, therefore, the terrorvortex never happend and Ralathor Prime was never even born, but even then 38B would also never happen because the clone is only activated once Zargy dies in the terrorvortex. Therefore:

1. If he does not tell about the clone, he is not born
2. If he does tell, he would not be there, and maybe he isn't even born

Assuming the terrorvortex functions somewhat simillar to a timeline, at least he would never go to the original dimension if he never interacted with Angus XIII.
Which takes us to the conclusion that either the original timeline is impossible, or the split point between the timeline is not the activation of the clone, but rather the moment when Ralathor decides if he will or will not tell about the clone, in which case both timelines are true, closing the loop.

I only remember the description of it hoping yall could find where it's from. It's about an imperial guard general/colonel walks down a promenade and finds a place of quiet on the ship. Finally finds it and then and there is a space marine there. They don't talk for the longest time and he continously comes back every cycle and admire the view. Bunch of cycles go by and finally they begin to speak and tell eachother stories of the battles they've been in while away from eachother. Each of them getting this 10 minutes of genuine rest every 10 years of war. It ends with their being a crusade or invasion and the space marine dies during the battle. I believe he sends a note to be placed there. Does anyone know it? It resonates and any help would be appreciated

I have been with my now husband since 2017. Moved in with him in 2018. He is 43 and 41. We just got married last year and I'm really wondering what the f*** I was thinking. He is the type of person that is something terrible is happening to me. And in all honesty it's been a constant ongoing barrage of things since 2020. But when those things are happening to me, they aren't that big of a deal. According to him. I don't get much for sympathy. I definitely don't get much for empathy. As an example, i have CPTSD. He triggers me all the time with his selfish behaviors and need to be right and validated and pretty much cancel everything I say. I know gaslighting at its finest. Anyway, because of him my heart rate would go up and I had to be hooked up to a tech accordia monitor aka a heart monitor, I've gone through so much with counseling and with everything that's happened in the last couple of years that I don't even know who i am anymore because I've had to shift myself so many times to accommodate others just to deal with my drama. I don't sleep much and I don't feel good constantly. When my dad and my sister died within months of each other, it wasn't that big of a deal. The list goes on. Recently because I have been on my husband's ass for his behaviors because I see a lot of narcissistic problems. He starts freaking out about all these things that have been happening to him. In the last year. His uncle died. The world must stop because his uncle died and I must be sympathetic and how dare I argue with him when he is in this fragile state. His chest feels tight and he thinks he might have a heart attack yet never goes to talk to a doctor and doesn't do his own therapy. How dare I cause his heart rate to increase. When his child is here. The world must stop and revolve around said child and I must parent that child even though it's not mine. But if I need any little bit of help with my own two children which is very rare considering that they're teenagers, how dare I ask him for that help? And if he does say yes then I must worship him for his valiant effort. He doesn't know who he is anymore and it's all my fault.
Any of the sound familiar? How the f*** do you deal with this? I am tired of the things that I'm going through being flipped around and being turned into something that he is going through instead. It's like a competition and I'm so tired of it.
Yes, we are in couples counseling only on session 9 and I'm really not seeing any progress with that. They like to use the glottinman method but I don't see any of those teachings being practiced at all. It's very easy for him to restore himself back to factory settings.
Before anyone says just leave him blah blah blah. I'm already aware and I'm already considering it but financially I'm not in the situation where I can. Rent is extremely sky high and even if we sell her house it wouldn't be enough

There's a wiki with Ultima V internal formats; it mentions that each monster in the game has 16 bits of associated flags (Cmd-F monster flags here) but doesn't say much more than that, and some of the information is does present is wrong. I'm looking to fix that.
I was able to extract a list of monsters and their values for each flag, which allowed me to figure out what 13 of them do. Here's the list of flags (in the order the game encodes them) and the monsters that have each one:

Mystery 1: Mimic Reaper Stone Gargoyle Orc Ettin Headless Can possess: Blackthorn Gazer Wisp Daemon Shadowlord Responds to Repel Undead: Ghost Skeleton Daemon Shadowlord Can divide: Slime Stone Gargoyle Immune to Glass Sword: Lord British the Apparition Blackthorn Lord British in the flesh Attacks always poison: Squid Spider Snake Can steal food: Gremlin Leaves no guts or items: Seahorse Squid Sea Serpent Shark Bat Ghost Slime Bees Wisp Daemon Shadowlord In An or Crown disables projectiles: Mage Lord British the Apparition Blackthorn Lord British in the flesh Seahorse Reaper Gazer Daemon Shadowlord Mystery 2: Bard Seahorse Squid Sea Serpent Ettin Troll Can teleport: Lord British the Apparition Blackthorn Lord British in the flesh Wisp Shadowlord Vanishes instead of dying: Lord British the Apparition Blackthorn Lord British in the flesh Shadowlord Can turn invisible: Blackthorn Ghost Shadowlord Can gate daemons: Blackthorn Daemon Dragon Attacks sometimes poison (this actually takes precedence over the other poison bit): Rat Spider Mimic Rotworm Shadowlord Mystery 3: Rat Rotworm Shadowlord 

And to rule out a few possibilites:

• There's no flag for the ability to throw fireballs (etc). This is stored elsewhere, as the monster's weapon. So for instance, if you clear all a dragon's flags, it still breathes fire.
• Similarly, there's no flag on the Corpser to give it the ability to drag players under
• ...nor on ghosts and Shadowlords that lets them pass through walls
• ...nor on Rotworms to make them hide when the players aren't near
• ...nor to denote which animals can swim and fly
• ...nor on Reapers and Mimics to make them immobile

For each of those, you can flip every bit on the monster and those characteristics are unchanged.
So, what are the three mystery bits?

• What do Mimics, Reapers, Stone Gargoyles, Orcs, Ettins, and Headlesses have in common that no other creature does? (That's Mystery Bit 1)
• How about Bards, Seahorses, Squids, Sea Serpents, Ettins, and Trolls? (Mystery 2)
• And finally, Rats, Rotworms, and Shadowlords? (Mystery 3)

For each of these, I've tried turning them off for the monsters that have them, and turning them on for the monsters that don't, and didn't notice any difference.

I'm (25F) in grad school for health profession. Just started my 3rd and final year of school with a hospital clinical that is mon-fri unpaid 40 hours a week for the next 9 weeks. This past year I got into my first relationship, and I couldn't be happier about it, it absolutely came out of nowhere at a time I was fairly certain (and kind of happy) about the fact I was going to be on my own for the foreseeable future.
I've always been pretty independent and enjoyed doing things for myself, being alone never bothered me much. Sometimes I thought it might be nice to have a partner, but once I was settled into the peaceful quietness of my parents basement with a decent sized bowl of ice cream and a new episode of my favorite show or video game queued up to relax, I couldn't imagine enjoying anything more. I'd go out to bars/club or other social settings with friends for dancing, fun, and socialization. flirting was fun but I always wanted to go home alone to my own clean bed and not have to worry about staying over somewhere else or having to deal w someone else in the morning. I lived my life very much to my own enjoyment specifications and never felt I was missing out on something. I received all of the socialization I needed from my friends and I was satisfied with that. I always thought I had a decent grasp on how to be a good partner but never cared enough to pursue a relationship just because it seemed like a burden to some degree, I have to make time for them, spend money on them, manage their emotions as well as mine, and in a way if the relationship becomes long term have a part of my identity reside with them which seemed scary. It never felt like something I needed, I planned my next 10 years under the impression of continuing on single as I had my entire adult life.
This is all to say I could not have been more wrong.
The person I fell in love with is the most perfect thing on the planet and I'm not sure if I could ever be as happy as I was alone again, now that I know what this kind of happiness feels like. This is a person that makes my day better just on sight. They are just good. It sounds boring I know, but I don't know how else to describe it. They're so kind and thoughtful and their heart is just so... good. Their love and attention is the most beautiful feeling to experience. And she's a complete badass, I genuinely don't know what I did to deserve this person. I feel incredibly safe and comfortable w her (even though she still makes me a little nervous in a good way sometimes), and I know I could tell her anything (for reference I've never been big on telling people anything personal outside of normal conversation, I've always been very private). We don't have every single thing in common which is honestly great, I love hearing her talk about things she loves that I don't know about, and our values and expectations of life are synchronous. She makes me laugh. We have a really wonderful sense of trust and understanding between us. I want to do everything for her, I want her to fall asleep with me and to be able to hold her in the morning. The way she smells and feels when I hug her makes it nearly impossible to let go. I want to buy everything for her I think would make her happy (even though I probably can't afford it anyway, and we do have a pretty equal way of splitting things). I want to do all of the stuff I did when I was single but with her (shocking revelation, I know).
Cuddling with someone you love while watching your favorite show is better then anytime I've spent out at a bar or other social setting. It's completely euphoric. I love making time for her and will drive anywhere to see her (sometimes we're over an hour apart and I currently work early 7 days/week). I get sad when I cant see her, I still love being alone, but it's not as fun when I am. I think about her the entire time. I love learning everything about her whether it's emotionally tough or otherwise. I've never been prouder to be associated with another person, and I want people to think of her when they see me and vice versa. Oh my god and on top of all that she's absolutely stunning, beautiful, gorgeous. It's objectively undeniable, I thought that before we even became interested in each other. I mean I never saw myself as particularly ugly but I'm a complete scrub next to this person. I know this isn't big news and most people have known all of these things since they started dating as teenagers. But it's been a big deal for me, and it's really exciting. I honestly just assumed I didn't have the ability to feel those feelings. Now my life feels completely different.
Back to the original point of this post though, it's that I'm tired. Clinical has me waking up earlier than I usually do and the hospital setting is draining physically and emotionally, it takes up most of my day and I practically drop when I get home. Not a lot of time or energy left over to do the things I enjoy. No relief on the weekends either I still have to wake up early sat/sun for my paid job. I know some people have it worse, but all of that wouldn't matter to me if I didn't have someone perfect it was keeping me from. I'm about an hour and 20 from this person at the moment, and it's difficult to get to her when we have to wake up so early the next day-- Usually I wouldn't care about going to work tired but this clinical demands my active attention and I just operate better if I can get at least 7 hours. Now the solution isn't so obvious that she come and stay with me more often, she also has a clinical with similar hours closer to where she's currently living. So travelling back and forth over the week becomes cumbersome for both of us, especially after hobbies and such. Because I work on the weekends too, and live with my parents at the moment to save money, she has to wake up early with me on what's supposed to be her day off those days and drive all the way back to her appt, which I feel terrible asking her to do. But I love and appreciate when she does (and I let her know).
I'm not looking for solutions I know this issue will all be over in 9 weeks, but it's just really bumming me out and I wanted to get it off my chest (and wanted to talk about how much I love her for a bit). This person makes me so happy, and it's hard seeing her stressed and tired on top of me also being stressed and tired. We see each other only once a week right now which is a stark contrast from when we saw each other everyday in class, and when she lived closer (was only 30 mins away from my home at that time, we called ourselves spoiled about it). I'm not concerned about drifting apart or anything like that I'm just sad about the time i'm missing being with this person. but I know there will be more to have in the future. Not to brag but I feel like I kind of absolutely nailed it first try with this person, I don't think I'd mind at all being with her for a very long time. I know I sound incredibly naïve saying all this about my first relationship but I don't mind that criticism. It might be true I'm being naïve, but if she is how my heart gets broken one day, I'll always be thankful she showed me what a healthy love looks like and I feel pretty secure about that. In all the time we've been together now it's never become easier to say goodbye to her, and the absolute burning fire in my heart for her as only become larger... but maybe calmer. Whereas the initial falling in love feels unwieldy and beautifully uncontrollable (which is an amazing experience on its own)-- developing our relationship over the months has made the fire functional, capable of warming a home and feeding a village. Large, beautiful, and sustainable. She makes me feel so sure, so secure, and so happy.
I appreciate anyone who reads this or gets this far. I ended up writing much more than I thought. I've been having a hard time in general with other factors in my life and this entire situation has just felt heavier. It's depressing working everyday and only really having free time to eat, shower and sleep. simply wanted to write it out somewhere to unweight a bit and spill it out somewhere in the bowels of the internet.

¡TW! Mention of s3xu4lizat!0n
A group chat that was recently created by me and 7 other individuals is mainly utilized to plan and update each other on our daily lives. A key point to make is that we always joke around by poking fun at each other. A few weeks prior to the incident one individual we’ll call C added his very close friend, A, whom which we have no real relation to. One day, me and two other friends of mine, B and M, began sending photos of C, which was one of our inside jokes. All of a sudden, A began complaining to us about it and how uncomfortable it made C. The rest of us were confused since C has never really brought this up to us until now when A was added. M was pissed since they thought that A had no right to not only ruin the mood, but to also get involved with something that had no real involvement to them. A large argument took place a few minutes later with A stating that C has always been insecure about their appearance and does not consent to their photos being used in the group chat, which is something we’ve always done until now with no complaints or issues from C themselves. M rebuts by elaborating on how C has never had an issue with this and that A should not be making a big deal out of it. A says it makes C uncomfortable and that we should basically be mindful of their feelings. However, M expresses how inconsiderate C has been of their own feelings and even went as far as to say that C has been constantly sexualizing them. B confirmed this as they witnessed it all firsthand and also thought that A was out of line for creating a large problem over something so small and trivial. The argument carried on for a while and I couldn’t help but begin laughing at the stupidity of it all. A few minutes passed and it seemed to die down until I was added into a separate group chat with all of the people involved. I was essentially appointed as their therapist, or guide, through this mess even though I couldn’t take it seriously at that given moment. I instructed M, A, C, and B to further elaborate on the situation and explain their actions. M went first and explained that A has no reason to start an uproar over a small issue that concerns another person other than themselves. Especially after saying that we are the ones making C uncomfortable after C has done far worse by over-sexualizing us on multiple occasions. A then states that we were the ones sexualizing C for calling them zesty. After reading that, I couldn’t help but laugh until I couldn’t breathe. I sent a definition of what sexualizing is while laughing and A says that sexualizing someone and something are two completely different things, essentially calling me and a few others an object since C has mainly made such comments toward us. M continues to argue with A whilst I remained laughing like a maniac until the whole argument ended with them leaving. Although I never saw the seriousness behind C’s actions until now, I still can’t help but laugh at the fact that this was started over a PICTURE.

Y’all. The people who have made it through weren’t lying when they told us it gets better. It really does.
Yes, I still have a craving or two randomly, but it’s really more of a passing thought. Kinda like “Oh, sure that’d be alright” and then I think “Wait, no. That’s weird because I’m not a smoker anymore” and it passes.
The ONLY thing I miss is the “alone time” I gave myself. The zone-out-go-into-my-own-little-world time that I had when I was out smoking in the rain or the freezing cold like a dumbass. But y’know what? I can still do that and I do.
I go out to my back porch and sit in my same spot and let the sun shine on me and scroll aimlessly through my phone and it gives me a different dopamine rush, but it still works because it’s not a drug faking me out.
Day 15 and my skin is so much better. The constipation is better (that’s a real one I didn’t know would show up during the quit 😂). I can SMELL EVERYTHING. Food tastes so much better. I smell so much better. Sleep is getting there. Teeth are whiter. I can fucking breathe. I can walk without getting winded. I enjoy working out. Most of all, I’m really proud of myself for sticking with it.
I know it seems really daunting and like it’s going to be the most horrible thing you’ll ever go through And y’know what? Some days are like that. But you get through them and you feel a sense of pride for telling your nicotine addiction to hit the fucking curb.
You’re stronger than you think and I believe in you! Hang in there!!

In late April, I went on vacation to San Juan, Puerto Rico for my birthday, with no intentions of meeting someone. I’d be lying if I said that was my goal of the trip. I went with the sole intention to have fun with my childhood best friend.
One of the nights, we went out to the club and had a really good time. That’s when a tall, tan, Italian man came up to me and we started dancing and talking. It was like we had met before and picked up where we last left off, except this was our first time meeting. We instantly clicked and it just felt right. He thought I only spoke Spanish so for the first 30ish minutes of us speaking/dancing, he was trying his best to flirt in Spanish until we both died laughing when he found out I also spoke Englis. The night we met, we even took pictures together and those pictures look like we’d been together for years. It was like my soul knew him? I didn’t remember at the time but, he got my number and we’ve been talking NON-STOP ever since. We text and call each other on our lunches/during dinner, any chance we get. We are so similar, it’s incredibly insane. I feel so comfortable with him and I’m constantly having to remind myself, I ONLY MET HIM A MONTH AGO.
(He lives in New York, i live in New Mexico, 1.237 miles apart)
WELL- last week, while on the phone, he joking asked me to visit him in NYC for memorial weekend, and would pay for my flight. I said eff it and booked my trip because although I felt a lil crush developing I didn’t think it’d go further than that. I also hoped he wouldn’t murder me as I’m a 5’1 woman, and he’s 6’1, over 200 pounds.
He surprised me at the airport, showed me around NYC, took me to the top of the Empire State Building, made me laugh non-stop and we just completely hit it off in every way possible. It just feels right to be with him. It feels passionate and incredibly intense.
My feelings are extremely intense now. All of this to say, I feel really confused because I think it’s way to soon to feel this STRONGLY about someone I literally met a month ago. While in NYC, we instantly broke the ice and acted like we had been together for YEARS. We flirted, held hands, kissed and were very romantic with each other because leading up to the impromptu trip, we discussed everything under the sun on the phone. I know it’s so soon to say but something in my heart tells me he might be my person. I’ve never ever ever, had such strong feelings for someone like this, this fast. I’m usually EXTREMELY guarded and don’t let my walls down, but he broke through them within WEEKS. He keeps me on my toes and makes me feel free. I’ve never thought about seriously getting married and having kids with someone and being with him the week in NYC, made me contemplate that in THE FUTURE with him- WHICH IS NUTS TO SAY!!!! Something in my soul just tells me this feels right BUT ITS SCARY!!! I feel like I’m living a 2000’s romcom plot.
While I know time is just a construct, I think building rapport is important. Anyone else every find the one and only know them for a short period of time or am I DELULU???

In this post I will give the possibilities for the future of exploiting (because I'm bored). I will list the requirements for the specific scenario to happen Note that this does not account for future, stronger executors being developed. 1. Exploiting lives scenarios 1.1 Everything is fine (Synapse X and Scriptware don't die, byfron is bypassed) If Synapse X and Scriptware aren't killed by the subscription change, and byfron is bypassed, everything will go on like normal. The executors might get slower business after, but overall everything will be fine. 1.2 Krnl takes over (Synapse X and Scriptware die, byfron bypassed) If Synapse X and Scriptware die to the subscriptions making too little money to continue updating. Krnl becomes the top executor 1.3 Forced to Microsoft store (Synapse X and Scriptware live, byfron remains unbypassed) If Synapse X V3 and Scriptware V3 work for Microsoft store versions, but byfron remains without a bypass, the exploiting community could be forced to the Microsoft store version. This would be not bad actually as Microsoft store does not allow encrypted stuff, and since byfron is encrypted, they can't add it. 1.4 Monopoly (Synapse X, Scriptware, and possibly Krnl merge, byfron bypassed) While I like to think this is possible, it's very unlikely. It would cost too much to keep their employees. If it did happen though it would be a monopoly over exploiting. They would no doubt be the best executor. 2. Exploiting destroyed 2.1 Underfunded (Synapse X, Scriptware, and Krnl die, byfron continues to update, mobile and MS store versions patched as well) If byfron continues to update, Roblox patches and Krnl is unable to keep up, the other small exploits won't be able to. The small exploits are killed off as well. Maybe a new one will crop up, but by that time exploiting will be mostly abandoned by the old community with only a few still clinging on. 2.2 Lawsuit (Synapse X and Scriptware live, MS store and mobile is patched, byfron bypassed) If the big executors are able to easily bypass byfron continually, I wouldn't be surprising if Roblox outright sued. The most likely ones to be sued are Synapse X, Scriptware, and Krnl. If they are all sued, Roblox will most likely win. If Roblox does win, the smaller executors will be easy to patch the smaller executors and exploiting will die out. This is a more likely scenario than you might think. 2.3 idonthaveagoodnameforthis (Synapse X and Scriptware remain not updated, byfron stays unbypassed) If byfron makes an update before the executor devs can even update, they could ruin most or all the progress of the devs. If they keep doing this, the community will abandon them, leaving no consistent updates for executors That's all reasonable outcomes I've thought of so far. If you have any scenarios youve thought of or I got something wrong please comment

Hello!! I’m Mina, 23F, and I’m looking for someone to write romance, drama, and thriller stories with me!
What I’m looking for: - Someone 18+ - Semi-lit/lit (2-3 paras average), 3rd POV — Overall, I tend to copy however long my partner writes, but I will not dip below a paragraph. - Writing Male/Masculine characters - Uses Discord!
My word bank is currently:
Horror, unstable romance, power dynamics, stockholm syndrome, eldritch entities, yakuza, gods and goddesses, monsters, one-sided love, love triangles, hanahaki-like themes, yandere, opposites attract, otome games, etc.
Some plots, with my character being A, and yours being B:

• Dear Miss Genius Idol Unmatched (A) is an up and coming celebrity, and while her TV persona is bubbly and cheery, she is rather dreary in reality, and often struggles with problems. In comes (Character B), a crazed fan, a manager, or someone who she doesn’t know about, used to be a childhood friend — How does their relationship develop/devolve?
  
• Chang’e (A) and Houyi (B) reunited?
  
• A modern pygmalion? A struggling artist (A) suddenly has to explain to her landlord why one of her art pieces (B) has suddenly come to life!
  
• A lonely god (B) takes interest in a human (A) — This could be for whatever reason, maybe he finds her life interesting, or maybe she has motives that are against his, we could def plot this out!
  
• A human (A) is suddenly turned priestess due to accidentally breaking a God’s (B) shrine, and now needs to pay off her debts.
  
• A sacrifice (A) is expected to die when sacrificed to a God (B), except he is just incredibly confused about what a human is doing in his domain.
  
• A prince (character B) finds themselves falling for a princess (character A) who lives in the kingdom next over, but happens to be engaged to another. The prince stops at nothing to get rid of his love’s partner, and does anything to woo the princess.
  
• A girl (character A) finds herself in the same situation every life she lives. Every time she is resurrected, she finds herself getting chased by some person (character b) she doesn’t love.
  

Some other things I would love to write are: Good Girl (A) x Bad Guy (B), Fan (A) x Idol/Celebrity/Band Member, Civilian/Innocent (A) x Mafia (B), Priestess (A) x Demon (B), Angel (A) x Demon (B)
If you’ve come this far, please tell me your fav color in your message!

2010 Prius. Very rough idle. Codes P0016 P0340 P0403 P3190 Back story: Car was running fine, then, one day it started running like it was missing terribly, warning light, check engine, etc.
It ran similar to this event before and we figured out it was the egr cooler fully plugged, and EGR valve.These were replaced. Car ran fine for a while.
Then we had a head gasket issue. We replaced the head gasket. Car ran fine for a while.
Brings us to current event. Driving fine then terrible running, shaking, dash lights up, won't run. This was six months ago. It has sat since then. At the time, the codes were related to the timing/crank and cam sensors being out of sync.
I assumed that the chain, which had never been replaced as far as we know (bought used about 50k ago) either was stretched, the tensioner was bad or possibly slipped a tooth etc.
So, this past week I did the timing chain. New Toyota OEM chain, guides, tensioner, timing sprockets, oil sprockets, oil pump chain. The works.
When disassembling the crank timing oil chain sprocket was found broken right at the keyway. The chain was essentially holding it in place. One the chain was removed it just fell.off The crank sensor timing plate behind it, they keyway was all hammered and the timing sensor plate was sloppy on the crank because the keyway was hammered. This is something I have never seen, granted I've only done about a dozen timing belts and chains in the last 30 years, so I have very limited experience.
Anyway, I ordered a new sensor plate from Toyota. I had the new sprocket already. I assembled everything. Ensuring that the cams and crank were timed correctly, then before putting the covers back on permanently, I spun it by hand and ensured that the crank pulley/dampener and timing marks on the cam sprockets all lined up as they were supposed to. All looked great, so I put it all back together.
Car batteries were dead. Of course from sitting so long. Put a jump pack on it and then turned the car on.
It started. Ran and purred like a kitten for about 10 seconds then started running like it was missing terribly. Shaking etc.
I put it in neutral and it idled fine. Wouldn't increase RPM because the check engine lights and etc all can back on, but it idled in neutral great! Put it in drive with foot on the brake and it started the violent sharing and stumbling, back to neutral, and it idled fine. Back to park and it started shaking and stumbling again.
Shut it off. Cleared the codes.
Started it again. Same behavior as before. Starts. And runs like it great for about 10 seconds then suddenly doesn't know what time it is... in neutral, purrs like it's supposed to, into park and shakes and misses like before.
Initially when I say the broken sprocket and sloppy crank sensor plate, I thought that may have been the reason this all started. The crank sensor couldn't consistently pick up the timing and confused everything things else. Now Part of me thinks that this violent shaking and stumbling may have been what broke the sprocket and allowed the key way for the sensor to get sloppy.
So here I am. With the codes above showing.
Could the ECM be bad? What else could be the issue? The oil drained had no coolant. The coolant had no oil.
I need help further diagnosis.. I am pretty handy.. I know enough to get my self in trouble.. as you can see.
Is there something I can do without tearing down the timing chain cover again?
Edited .. added the below info. I have found that the 12v battery will not hold a charge so I think it was only starting under the power of the jump pack and not the battery. Once the 60.seconds of "start engine" power from the jump pack, times out. The motor dies. Of course in neutral the traction battery does not charge and I can't keep it running in park because of the violent shaking. Could it be just really weak spark? Would the spark voltage required change from park to neutral? It seems so odd that neutral seems to run fine but park/drive no Bueno..

Im really feeling shameful for posting here and alot of me feels like i shouldnt but i just am. I guess its the privacy factor that does it for me. This will probably just be a rant so, yeah.
Hi, im in high school. I have 2 siblings, both older than me. We all live under the same house.
My mother is... active as a person. She either works alot around the house or at work, go on social media or just complain. And by complain i mean backbite, yell, scream and essentially the whole bunch. She sometimes gets physical. Its like she's having a tantrum and is ripping her throat at us. My father is all worn out. She keeps taking money out of his shared account with my mother, and alot of it, very frequently. They dont speak to each other anymore except when they are having screaming matches. Multiple times my father has stated that he is only
​
Thing is, I have only counted 3 days where my mother did not scream at us. And I have yet to count a day where she does not complain. This is why all of us just consider her screaming as an inconvenience. Heck, as I am writing this she is screaming downstairs.
​
TW. This "section" gets heavy. Please do not read if you have suicidal thoughts. You are a valuable person.
I myself am pretty religious person. It is one I will die for and and wont give up. Just to be clear I do not want to debate anything. One of the rules states that I need to be respectful to my parents. Sometimes I snap and scream back, and she just twists the story to make me look bad and victimize herself. For example, she repeatadly said that she would buy land in our hometown country and live there, alone, without us and stay there for the rest of her life. It got so annoying. I eventually said to her in a sincere moment that it was like "saying f u to us." (I do not swear, in person or on text). She said i said the literal f word to her. Wth???
Additionally because my brother can sometimes be a raging monster, a bully to all of us physically and mentally, she sent me down to the basement because she didnt want to deal with him and instead just punished whoever crossed him. I stand up for myself one time and that happens. She sent me down there to rot.
Its gotten pretty bad to the point where I am almost certain that I would have been a suicide victim or one who has attempted. The only thing keeping me alive is my religion, which prohibits such an act.
​
She also curses us, and I mean really, REALLY curses us. She wished death on me multiple times, cursed me and the rest of my families future and my fathers family tree.
​
I dont know this post is really disorganized. I dont even know if i should even post this. I feel wrong to do so but I want to ask for help.
​
Please, somebody tell me what I can do.
