Hello, in the past month or so my hair has been falling out like crazy and my scalp is itchy and dry so I'm thinking of going to a dermatologist to get that checked before it's too late and I end up going bald. Do you guys have any recommendations for dermatologists or clinics that aren't too expensive in Tokyo? I know Japanese so it doesn't have to be English speaking. And follow-up question, does the national health insurance cover these kinds of things? Thanks in advance. Edit: I live in Tokyo, forgot to mention that one my bad. Edit 2: For extra context, the issue started after trying a shampoo for curly hair of the Shea Moisture brand but it hasn't stopped even after switching back to the H&S shampoo I was using before which used to make my hair look pretty dry and frizzy but at least I never had scalp or hair loss issues with it. So before trying any other products on my own and potentially make the issue even worse I'd rather consult with a professional.

I am thinking of ordering a new tv from a seller at kakaku.com. Looking at the reviews the seller looks legit (98% from more than 50 reviews). However I am still concerned considering this seller only accepts money transfer and no credit card. And reviews could also be fake. So does anyone have experience with the small sellers at kakaku.com? Also regarding these sellers I have 2 additional questions: 1. If the tv has a 1 year manufacturer guarantee, that counts normally from the date of purchase, does this also apply to these small shops, or is it 1 year from the time the ship bought it from the manufacturer? 2. Some sellers use kaago, which seems to be a selling platform provided by kakaku.com, does this offer somehow better customer protection?

Hello everyone I've rented an apartment thru wagaya but the company is Daito Kentaku, I told them today I would be moving out in August. A bit late on informing them but the guy was nice on the phone. I already paid my cleaning fee but I'm very worried about how much they will charge me for damages on stainless steel stove area. I posted in this group before about my stove and people said it was corrosion and not much to be done. I'm on my way to daiso to get a polisher people recommend but again, it does have damage/ corrosion black spots. Does anyone have experience with this? Or know how much roughly they would charge? I'm a uni student so I don't have an insane amount to give. I don't mind if it's taken out of my rent reimbursement but I'm just trying to get an idea if anyone has gone through this before. Thank you so much!

Has anyone ever received a letter from their health insurance requesting that they write, in details, the reason / cause of the injury they sought treatment for at a clinic or hospital? In all my years living here, it’s the first time I get such a letter. While I understand they want to ensure my injury did not stem from a car accident (in which case it would be a different insurer), I was still taken aback since: 1- Everything was explained and discussed with the doctor, so that information should already be available. 2- This is the first time I ever had to do this. Is this like income tax random audit that can sometimes happen; or did me cracking a rib raise some kind of flags? 3- Asking me to write an essay on a piece of paper like a highschool term paper in 2024 is so very odd to me. Yeah yeah, something something fax machines still in use in Japan.

Kind of a rant, kind of looking for advice. Last year, I moved to a newly built 2LDK apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo since it was cheaper and allowed me to have a home office (I work from home). Even tho it's relatively cheaper than what you can find in other areas, the upfront cost was high. A few months after moving in, we got a notice asking us to recycle properly (I say we, as I assume it was sent to all tenants). Shortly after, I got a call from the apartment management asking if I was making loud noises at night. I wasn’t, as like most people, I sleep at night. That question came followed by if I wore slippers around the home (I do) and if I have carpets (I do). They seemed satisfied and reminded me about garbage disposal. Ok, no problem since they said it was a call they gave everyone. Recently, we’ve had two more noise complaints. Today, I got a call asking if I made loud noises between 2 and 4 am last night. I hadn’t, as I clearly remember I went to bed at 1:30 am. I asked if the complaint was directed to my apartment and they said "No, we aren't sure who it was". They followed by asking if I dropped things in my sleep last night. How would I know? At this point, can't help but feel I was being accused somehow. Certainly, I have dropped my phone sometimes, but always during the daytime. I lived in 2 other apartments before and I never got a noise complaint. I understand night noise is annoying, so I’m careful, especially when working late. I try to make the least possible noise after 8 pm, and I follow the recycling rules provided by the Ward office. I invested a lot of upfront costs in this apartment, and it’s only been a year. I love the area and the extra room for my home office. The apartment has cushion flooring, which I heard makes noise less loud, but I added tile flooring in my office, where I spend most of my time, and some people might hear my office chair. I’m not sure what else I can do. Am I being too sensitive? Any advice?

Hi all I would like to change the windows in my apartment from the single ply old Japanese standard with a shitty frame to double ply with a proper frame. The reason is I’m tired of humidity seeping in during the summer and heat escaping during the winter. I heard that if you change all the windows in your place you might be eligible for some sort of rebate from the government because of energy efficiency etc. My question is twofold: 1. Does anyone know anything about these rebates and how to find out more? 2. Can anyone recommend a good company for changing the windows and frames?

Title. But also, if I see a cockroach, I’ve been killing it on spot. My logic being that I don’t want one dropping an egg in an unreachable place. Should I just let it go so it can take the poison back? That’s what one dude on yahoo answers was suggesting… Are there any killers that can be used in combo with the black cap? ETA: I did try checking Japanese yahoo answers but the comments were mixed. Some said wait a couple weeks for the spray to wear off, some said replace them. Thanks and hope you’re doing better than I at fighting these things :,)

In the past year I’ve gotten on two different trains where someone had a ticket for the same seat I was suppose to sit in. This time I had a chance to look at their ticket and it seemed like the black ink was ever so slightly lower resolution. Does this happen from time to time, or do people make fake tickets? —— I’m sure someone will ask. I asked the staff where my seat was after I interacted with the person in my seat. The staff member look at her ticket for only a second, and directed me to an empty seat. He didn’t seem perplexed at all.

Basically what the title says. I'm trying to transfer my digital waon card from my old smartphone to my new smartphone and whenever I try to apply for the password to switch I just keep getting an error saying that it can't communicate. Saying that the problem is either access is limited (whatever that means) or my signal quality is bad. I'm using WIFI so I don't think the signal is the problem, but have no idea what it is trying to access that is limited or how to change it. (Specifically I'm getting error code KMMZ2Y) Can anyone help?

I'm leaving Japan permanently. I've been 個人事業 ("freelancing") for most of the past years (total almost 10 in Japan). I have been diligently filling out my tax returns and keeping the receipts, and now I'm left with huge (physical) files including receipts, utility bills, etc. of the past 5 years. Is it safe to discard them, or is there a chance that, once I've left the country, the tax office will want to check my receipts and so on? Also what would happen if I did not have them anymore when they are doing an audit?

Hey everyone, In a recent ImpulseSV episode, Impulse was clearly using the MiniHUD mod to check for mob spawn range and for light levels. I'm trying to get this running in my own 1.21 build, but haven't been able to find versions of MaLiLib or MiniHUD that work on 1.21, and using the available versions on Sakura-Ryoko's GitHub page cause the game to crash. I know that HermitCraft was originally started in 1.20, but I thought the update had been rolled out to the server. If so, does anyone know how he managed to get this working?

I started watching hermits craft not long ago but the person I’ve seen is Joel, I’ve been wanting to see others videos since I think it’s a cool series and I’ve heard from other fans that each season can last up to a year. But the problem is everyone seems to have too many videos for me to watch since I like to see episodes as they come out as opposed to all at once. So I decided I wanted to start watching the hermits with the fewest videos so I don’t need that much catching up to do, but Google and the hermits craft wiki won’t tell me who has the least videos out so I wanted to see if someone could answer me here.

I know Pearl mastering redstone in like a day is a bit of a meme but after watching one tangos streams it hit me just how fast she has gone from a complete novice to being able to work at the same level as people like tango xisuma and mumbo. She has learned so many different areas of readstone too and is inovating her own designs already, not just following tutorials. (honestly it reminds me a lot of Etho back in the day) Pearl has so much creativity and motivation, and combined with how smart she is, she might be one of the best redstoners on the server in a season or two.

Has anyone recreated Xisumavoid’s Goliath, automated copper aging system? I really want to add the blast chamber but he flashes past the redstone so quickly and not at great angles that I’m not confident I’m getting all the components. I like to draw out the farms before I build them, because it helps me understand the flow of the redstone and how it works. I’m still learning redstone and I tend to learn best by knowing what something does then deconstructing it to figure out what the components are doing. If anyone has a schematic, world download, or a slice diagram that they would be willing to share with me I would be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Also, thank you Xisumavoid for designing this system and explaining the mechanics behind it. I love watching all your videos to learn, stay informed, and find hope and joy in the human experience. (Just in case he happens across this post)

After way too long, I'm finally getting my TCG collectibles out of their plastic wrap, with the hope to display both the card and the art on the box. I've got some loose ideas of how I could display them, but nothing that I'm super happy with. (I bought 5 of them, which was a **huge** splurge for me.) I've seen several people showing off their cards, but I haven't seen anyone with a more "formal" or "permanent" display. **Request**: If you have any Hermit TCG displays, post them below for inspiration. I'd love to see them! Thank you!!! [I originally posted this in r/HermitcraftTCG, but this subreddit is far more active. While my post doesn't seem to conflict with any of the rules, just let me know if my post is inappropriate for this subreddit, and I can take it down]

When the permits were introduced, we all were excited to see some sort of black market and illegal trading But proper systems were not yet established then, afterwards many hermits were(/are) going slow But right now it is a good time, most hermits (at least based on whom I have subscribed) are active now, decent infrastructure and foundation has been set up permit rules are not being followed properly, poe poe and courthouse is harrassing some people out of proportion (just creating lore) , supplies and shops are not maintained properly but enforcement is busy punishing few selected suspects and the general public is suffering This calls for some accountability, when the system fails, fellow citizens need to take matters into their hands but within the pure motives are some miscreants, who want to profit from all the chaos and thus set up the black market From the muddy swams, through the core of administration to the now abandoned cyber city, their network thrives, everyone knows but none can challenge !

After three years of watching hermie craft, I decided it was time to try Etho content out and totally not because I was bored. I’ve heard great things about Etho and I’ve enjoyed his appearances in the life series, however I’m bias towards better thumbnails it would seem… So I never tried his content out before. Honestly not bad at all. I completely see the appeal of Etho content. Not my kind of hermit but I enjoyed his episode. Can someone post their favourite episode or bit from Etho? That would be appreciated!

This is something I have been thinking about for weeks. Once Doc is down from his Skyblock in 2025 at this rate, the Ore Snatcher will be found out. When it first started, I thought a good revenge would be that they had to be the one placing the sand in the hour glass... but it's getting serious. I do think the Ore Snatcher will hit Doc's base. But I think they'll wait a couple of weeks once Doc is back on the ground. I think griefing the base would be a bit of a let down. The vengeance has to be epic. I hope the inevitable scene of Doc confronting them is the most theatrical piece of YouTube we have ever seen. What will happen next, I have no idea. But what could Doc do? What do you hope happens?

So here is the thing, I have always dreamed of being a famous singer, and my mom know this. I'm not sure why hse is so shocked that this is what I want to do. My expects for me to go to college after hs and have a "professional career" but I already told her thatvi want to be a singer. I want to go to college, I really do, but I just don't know what I want to study, I know that I want to study and have an education that will benefit me in the future. But at the same time I dream and aspire to be in a rock band, it's been what's on my mind since I started listening to rock and metal, and I haven't been able to do anything about it. I know I can sing very well. But I do t know much about instruments, I'm trying to learn and guitar and it's a struggle. I don't have friends that have the same dream as me and I don't know what to do, and I don't what to end forcing myelef into a career that I don't like only to end up being 50 and regretting not pursuing my dream. What the heck do I do? Lately my mom does not support me, and even though she says that she does she refuses to belive that being a singer is my dream.

I'll try not to make this too long so here goes nothing. I graduated last year with a BA in Family Science and Human Development, which is basically just elementary education. However, in my final year of student teaching, I realized just how much of an awful career this would be for me (I absolutely hated it) and decided against pursuing it in the future, even though I ended up finishing my degree so that the money wouldn't go to waste. I currently have around 30k or so in student loans I need to pay off. I have two main issues, the first being that I really don't have a drive/motivation to do anything in my life, and two, that even if I did I'd really struggle to find something that I'd find interesting or fulfilling. For the first issue, maybe it's because I've been depressed for such a long time and have glued myself to a computer/phone screen for a majority of my life to try and suppress it, but I just don't have the motivation to pursue any kind of career. The whole idea of "if you do something you love you will never work a day in your life" always seemed like poor advice due to just how unrealistic it is for people to achieve a living wage doing something they truly love these days. Yes, I'm aware that this issue of lack of motivation needs to change and that I will have to put in the effort to fix this, I just don't know where to start. As for my second issue, I really don't know what I could do for a living that I'd find satisfying/rewarding, atleast that I can make a living wage off of. I'm not sure if my degree is going to be useful for anything outside of teaching, which is terrifying because I'd honestly rather shoot myself than teach 1st graders ever again. Another core issue I have is that I have trouble interacting with others due to ASD (autism spectrum disorder). Now talking to others isn't really an issue, but the environment I was in when student teaching was so unbelievably toxic that I felt like I could shoot myself in order to escape it, and I'm not sure I have the mental fortitude to deal with that again, atleast at this current stage of my life. So yeah, that's where I'm currently at. I've been meaning to make a post like this for awhile but I finally doing it which is what matters. I hope I can get some insight into how I can make something out of my life.

I left college back in 2019 because surprise! COVID-19. Our family had lots of issues that lead me to leaving college. Now, i wanna go back to college. I honestly have a couple of majors i wanna go down. HR, IT, MIS, Marketing. I'm thinking between HR and MIS (i wanna be Business analyst). I don't have any technical background. Because of the lack of any IT knowledge. I'm anxious, mainly because i'm too old compared to the younger generations. All the things that keep popping up in my head like "I'm late, there's no way i could get a job like people at 22 or 23", "If i graduated, i'm already 28. Who would hire me at that age with no experience?" I ask my friends whose works are mostly about coding. They said don't come to this field, it's messed up, required a few years experience but don't wanna train intern and fresher. And they got into college at 18. The more i think the more terrified i become. Depression and anxiety disorder are not too kind to me. (i know it's like everyone got this but this caused me lots of trouble i hate it.) I know this is a rambling about my failed life and trying to save part of it. I came here hoping to find some insights. I really wanna give up everything but I couldn't, i must not. I just want a decent paycheck. I'm tired of being useless. Everything is packed full of hardships. Please, if anyone have any advice about some major like HR or MIS, please let me know. Whether i should start learning code? Where should i start? I'm a bit overwhelmed. Or if i should study HR? Which skills do i need? Won't give up tho... I just wanna know the experience and the difficulty of the fields. I do dig up some information. I need things like Master SQL, Python for coding, data visualization tools like Power BI, Tableau. Many certificate too. Am i too late to begin those? The job market in my country is really bad... Can i still able to do something. I'm stressed af.

I thought that once you hit certain age or have lot of life responsibilities you start to understand what you want and how to get it. But I'm wondering like an idiot in this world not having a damn clue what to do. All I know is that I need to finish college and find a job that pays well. Then deal with the good and bad that comes sighs. And the basic follow up goals like buying a house and save as much money you can. I don't know about the marriage thing yet. Seriously I don't know how to excel in life. Brain just always seems to bring me down. If others are successeding and happy than I tell myself I just don't deserve it. I'm not hard working and passionate. I don't put any effort and challenge myself. Because all I tell myself is what's the point? Aren't we judt gonna die one day. Aint like we are taking happiness or money with us. What's the whole hussle and bussle. Some people are working so hard at their job as if it's their life. Some people study for years just to become something and don't get to enjoy life in the moment. Some people just work work and work because that's what life is maybe and don't want to be broke when your at retirement age. I'm tired of myself being and feeling this way. I wish I can find something that I'm passionate or interested in. I'm living everyday as unmotivated boring worried and anxious. Sometimes I don't even realize an entire week just goes by so quick.

I graduated with a BS degree in science tech and society (STS) and I feel so lost in life or where to go from here. I don’t even know what my degree would go towards. Literally every job I look up always says previous experience necessary and they either don’t care about training or make you pay for training. I’m so sick of living. It’s so shit right now being a young male. I’m literally looking into jobs like air marshal for the long term because at least that doesn’t require 50+ prior experience plus a groundbreaking skill set all for trash pay. All I want is a simple job THAT I ENJOY that makes decent money so I can live and die in peace. I’m not looking to live a luxurious life.

Posting for my girlfriend so I hope this is accurate. She is 35 worked for a few companies and owned her own businesses. Tired of the corporate office BS and made them millions. Ended up hating it and quit and is in between jobs. Any fun lucrative job fields for a motivated saleswoman? She's also very creative and has an extreme attention to detail and very empathic in her demeanor if that helps. Currently looking at career building books and classes geared towards starting her own business. I make about 100k/yr and am able to fund a small startup, certifications, or classes. Thanks

Hi! I never thought I would find myself in a situation where too many possibilities could turn out to be a burden and a problem much bigger than their absence. I think I am having a career crisis, and I don't know how to resolve it. I've been working in the gaming industry for over 10 years now, and I'm 30 years old. I started in a small company at the age of 19, creating interactive applications for clients' requests, and a year later, at the age of 20, I entered gaming industry, creating AAA games. I never thought it would be possible considering the fact that I come from a very poor family. Despite the odds, I made it, and I'm proud about that. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for this; I had no other plans or ambitions. Determination, motivation, and enthusiasm, along with meeting the right people along the way helped me achieve this to the point where my career situation has been exceptionally stable for years. I have my own apartment, a new car bought in February 2024, and I plan to buy a bigger house in 2-4 years hopefuly. I live comfortably and feel exceptionally good for the first time in a long while because the beginnings were not easy or rosy at all, althought, sometimes I feel anxious about it. I encountered poor leaders who criticized my aspirations. I was constantly schooled and correct which was fine at beginning but not later, despite the fact I was pretty good at my work. Generally, in the past I felt a bit like a pawn being moved around the board by someone else, I had no agency. For the past two years, things have been different since I became the lead of a six-person team. I never wanted to be a lead, but I noticed the benefits of planning and managing everything on my terms, consulting many matters with experts or seniors. And it seems many current team members or other departments respects me, but not all for sure. And here's where the problem arises. You read above paragraphs and think that I have perfect life, having everything, yet at the same time, I feel like I have nothing, like I'm standing still, as if I don't belong to any team and I'm not fulfilling myself. I always dreamed of something bigger. Sometimes I have depressing thoughs such as I feel like I'm only in this company because no one else does what I do and no one else can so they keep me because it's hard or problematic to hire someone on my place. I also overthink a lot and worry that the company might get rid of me after some time, and I don't even know why. Some company events are unbearable for me, and it's hard to fit in, whereas it used to be different. I feel like I've put down roots, neglecting my artistic and creative skills in favor of choosing the managerial path, which I feel I like it, I have more control, but I don't know I ever wanted this. Friends who were on par with me decided to move on and try something new - some have succeeded some have not. I'm simply missing something and I don't know why. The job I currently have isn't perfect; it has its problems like many companies I've worked for. At the same time, everyone I work with praises working with me. Paradoxically, I am very respected and shouldn't really complain. I just wish I could spread my wings more maybe, being around cool people I really want to work with, not loosing what I already managed to establish in my current workplace. It's possible that I wouldn't have such thoughts if it weren't for the fact that I recently received two job offers. One of them is more laid-back, a company where many of my friends and buddies work, with whom I have had great and friendly contact. The work style is somewhat garage-like. I wouldn't have to work too long hours and would still earn a decent salary (lower than in my current job but still fine). However, it's definitely the least stable company. It would be a great place to escape corporate mindset someday maybe. The biggest thing I admire is that these people are really cool, and when I occasionally meet with them to just talk I feel like I'm the part of the team, even tho I don't work with them at all (I had a very short freelance period with them 2 years ago and that was it). The second company is the opposite. It's a new company with substantial financial backing, practically being built from scratch, but it has strong human support and financial resources. I don't know many people there, only two who I worked with before, so I would probably have to start from scratch, building my position in the company, which worries me because I don't know who I will meet there. I like to avoid conflicts, and I worried I gonna meet someone similar like my previous manager. The salary is slightly better than in my current company, but I don't know if I'm the type of person who is driven by salary in this case. I care about a sense of agency, development, and a pleasant atmosphere where everyone wants to shoot at the same goal. I am already in talks with this second company, and in August, I will have to make a final decision and I'm really paralysed to do anything. I lost completly my decission skill. I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid that if I go to the new place, it will turn out that it's not as great as it seems, and I will lose my stable position as a leader from the previous company. Game industry is very weird and small place. Going back might be possible, but in my case it would be unlikely.

I graduated from university back in 2022 with a degree in Business administration with a concentration in business economics and since then I haven't been able to get any kind of job in my field. I've had a short stint at Amazon and at a warehouse for tesla and for the past 4 months been working as a server at a retirement home. I've struggling mentally to deal with the fact that all my time in college was a waste of time and money. Having to go back to retail and food service is soul crushing to me and it's made me feel worthless and stupid. I only had a 2.5 gpa at school but it's not like I was expecting much. I was mostly hoping for a low level office job where I could just work my way up from there. But in the two years I've graduated I've struggled endlessly sending in application after application. My lack of experience really hurting me but how am I suppose to get experience if no one is willing to train anyone. I really want to leave retail and food service but with the way things are going it doesn't seem like I'll ever get a job in my field and that all the years I spent in college were meaningless. Why is everything like this? Is there something going on in the job market that's making it harder to get a job? Is there something wrong with my resume that's preventing me from getting a decent job? What exactly is going on?

Hey, I hope everyone's fine. I'm about to turn 24 in a week. I graduated in February this year with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance. I realized that I was in the wrong degree during the final year. It was too late to change my degree. My peers are getting jobs and here I'm jobless, depressed and suicidal. I'm passionate about data analytics but without a technical background I don't think so I'd get hired. I want to do another bachelor's in cs but i think its too late given my age. What should I do? I really need advice because i just can't let go of the regret of wasting 4 fucking years of my life. Please someone give me an advice I'm pathless right now.

I’m 20 yo, and started pursuing becoming an auto mechanic to get out of school early through apprenticeship, and been working since I was 13 doing so, at 17 started my apprenticeship, and completed first year then got an amazing job opportunity with a good company, and become the lead mechanic for 2 years at the store. Turned out they were wage thefting me even through I was making 31/hr at 19 yo, they were supposed to be paying me 37/hr for the lead role, and my union found out, grievances filed, it’s in arbitration for a year and a half and I couldn’t live with the unfulfilling work or a workplace that couldn’t even pay me what I was worth. I’d make thousands a day for them and receive penny’s.. management tried to correct the issue but it’s huge corporate company and they kept denying it and I had enough and quit. I want to make online through learning to day trade, or other ventures like becoming a realtor or mortgage broker but I am just so lost. Could appreciate your guys input. Thanks so much. PS: the grievance is still going through even though I quit, as another team member has a grievance there and still working there, except he is the general mechanic, but being paid as a tire tech even though he does oil changes and allignments. Thanks in advance

My friends are doing another shoe drive. Please donate if you can. 🙏 From ig: We are doing our 2nd annual @sanctshoeary shoe drive for @clothestokids. Hillsborough County is the 7th largest school district in the US with around 1/4 million students. 70% of those students are minorities, and 42% of all students are considered economically disadvantaged. School starts back August 12th, and shoes are the biggest need for CTK. They help an average of 60-70 kids per day at each of their 3 locations in the months around the start of each school year. Last year that was over 6k kids. Thanks to the support we received, our first drive provided 440 pairs of shoes, and we are hoping to exceed that number this time. With the help of our retail partners and strategic shopping, we were able to obtain shoes at an average price of $17 per pair. 100% of the money donated will be used to buy shoes for this drive. YOU CAN HELP by sharing this post and donating through cashap/venmo, or by dropping off new or gently used shoes to any of the 3 CTK locations. (Tampa, Clearwater, St. Pete) Instead of a single day event, WE ARE DOING A COLLECTION WINDOW FROM NOW THROUGH JULY 15th, and delivering shoes to CTK on August 1st. Shoes can also be sent to: SanctSHOEary c/o Clothes To Kids 5011 W. Hillsborough Ave. Tampa, FL. 33634 /reel/C8KQ8SagJVF/

Hi all, I'm from Ponte Vedra. I've only been to Tampa once for a concert. My son (8) and I are in Orlando right now. I had the idea to take a day trip to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. Says it is an hour and ten away from our Orlando hotel. Just to change it up, as we have done everything in Orlando over the years more than once. My question: we have never touched the waters of the gulf. That sounds fun! Just cuz we have never done it. We live on the Atlantic. Is there an easy access beach we could just go to while we are over in that direction that doesn't take another hour to drive from the Florida Aquarium? I know nothing about Tampa. Thought it could be something to do after we see the aquarium. I have no idea how far Beach access is. Have to be a place with good parking maybe. Or maybe we drive close and get an Uber. Idk! If you came to PV or Jacksonville, I'd be able to tell you all our beach access points and detailed parking advice in great detail. So... If you could do this for the Tampa area, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!!! 🤙🏻

I’m a local artist that is passionate about helping people get back in touch with their inner child and releasing some over-critical internal dialogue in order to have fun and play with drawing again as a tool for expression instead of exclusively something that needs to be commercialized. Also posting this to get recommendations for local spots that might be ideal for hosting something like this. Probably going to start a YT channel too - but really enjoy meeting local friends and having those personal connections.

I am posting on behalf of St. Francis Rescue. If you don’t want to donate, please consider donating to the animal society of your choice, as they are all overwhelmed. This kitten season has been very difficult. The number of kittens and cats being surrendered to shelters or found as strays has greatly increased over the last year. Most experts attribute this to the huge rise in inflation and housing expenses. St. Francis Society currently has almost 600 kittens in foster care and we desperately need kitten food! Kittens like Sonny, Obie, Citron, Snoop Kitty, Cali Coco and Carol would all be so grateful if you could visit our Amazon wish list and help purchase even a small amount of food! Inflation has made it difficult for all of us and we are so appreciative of any help you can offer. Thank you! So Many Need Our Help The number of cats and kittens needing medical assistance in our area is simply overwhelming. St. Francis Society continues to help as many as we can of those found as strays, as well as those rescued from the county shelters. Unfortunately, many kittens with ringworm in our community are euthanized due to the fact it takes so long to treat and is contagious to other pets and humans. St. Francis Society is very lucky to have a few foster homes dedicated to helping save these precious lives.

I’m heading home tonight traveling west bound on Kennedy and this guy is standing I’m the middle of the street. My cars AEB kicks in and comes to a complete stop. I try to go around him and he moves to block me. He the. Goes around me and is standing in front of the car behind me. He’s either high on meth, in a K hole or just straight up crazy. 1st link is front web cam 2nd is rear. /file/d/11BZQG488ObP1GsV2-UGnjjVlv9OpuP1s/view?usp=drivesdk /file/d/1-165Zc1UZLwoNXqBv6tbRiq7jz1cP57I/view?usp=drivesdk

“If an airplane crashed there and 137 people died, people would know about it,” he says. (Vox) For every 100 miles on US-19, there have been at least 34 deaths since 2017, making it the deadliest road across the state. The idea was to identify hot spots: 1,000-meter segments of roadway where six or more pedestrians were killed over two eight-year periods. “We thought: What can we find out about the places where these fatalities happened?” Schneider says. There would likely be similarities, he assumed, which could point to potential safety improvements. “One thing we wanted to shed light on is that they truly aren’t random.” "Locals might not have the statistics at their fingertips, but they know that US-19 is dangerous. In 2020, 13 people traveling US-19 by car in Pasco County were killed in crashes." /23178764/florida-us19-deadliest-pedestrian-fatality-crisis

Hi everyone. My cat may have pancreatitis. Though the urgent Dr said if the symptoms don't go away with treatment, we may need to get him an ultra sound somewhere else by referral since they don't do that here. If an Ultrasound is recommended, it's to verify whether there's more to see like an obstruction or confirm pancreatitis or something else. I'm in Land O Lakes, I'd be willing to drive up to an hr. Does anybody have a vet clinic with the cheapest Ultrasound quote? I know for a fact these range from $300-$600-$1200. Thank you all in advance!

I’m reaching out here because I recently went through a traumatic experience and could really use some support and advice. About four days ago, I was attacked during a robbery attempt and ended up with a black eye, redness inside my eye, an orbital fracture, and a sinus fracture. Thankfully, the attacker is now in jail, but I’m left dealing with the aftermath of this incident. I moved to the USA this January 2024 and don’t have any family or friends here. During the attack, the assailant tried to rob me of my phone. At one point, I even offered him my phone and whatever he wanted, but he wasn’t interested in taking it. Instead, he threw it far away and started yelling racial slurs at me, saying things like ‘you f Indians are everywhere’ and other hateful remarks. The physical pain is hard enough, but the emotional toll of being isolated during this time and facing such hostility is even tougher. I’m following up with my doctors and taking all the necessary steps to heal, but I can’t help but feel overwhelmed and anxious. I’ve been paying for the medical expenses out of pocket since I don’t have insurance here. I’ve heard that there might be social welfare workers or organizations that help cover medical bills for crime victims. If anyone has information on this or knows where I can seek assistance, I would be incredibly grateful. If anyone has been through something similar or has advice on how to cope with the loneliness, fear, and trauma that comes with such an experience, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m looking for any tips on managing the physical recovery as well as the emotional side of things. Thank you all in advance for your kindness and support. PS: I live in Clearwater, incident happened in Clearwater. Edit1 : 08 July, 2024. I met this facial surgeon today at around 11 AM. It was my 2nd appointment. The way he acted, he looked like a racist to me. He first asked me if it(the attacker) was a black guy, when I said no, he was shocked. When i told him about the attacker being a racist, this doctor laughed it off. I haven’t spoken a word with anyone since this meeting. Edit2: 09 July, 2024. My school isn’t in Florida; it’s in South Carolina. I fly there once every 2-3 months. My course is online-based, so I didn’t involve the school in the aftermath of this tragedy.

Guy gets shot in broad daylight at a convenience store called Fat Boy.  E. Osborne Ave. / N. 15th St.  There are many MANY incidents like this that we never hear about.  No community outreach programs, grants, town halls, peace marches, hospital visits, donations, protest, etc.  Folks, what we see in The Corporate Media is a fraction of a FRACTION of the true amount of crime out there.

I usually wear leggings to climb, but I want to branch out into actual pants for climbing. I've ruined a few "hiking" pairs of pants because the material wasn't designed for hitting rocks. Likewise I've also ruined leggings with snags as well. I haven't been successful finding a pair that ticks my preferred boxes. Any help is so much appreciated. **I'm looking for a pair of pants that:** 1. **Is not made of cotton.** (A lot of climbs require decent hikes in, and once cotton gets wet - with sweat or rain, or in a stream crossing - it stays wet.) 2. **Has pockets**, or at the very least one really good pocket that can hold a phone. 3. **Has a tapered leg like joggers** OR **snaps/a cinch cord or some way to make the bottom leg opening small** in order to tuck socks into to prevent ticks while hiking. 4. **Is not skin tight like leggings.** 5. **Is mid to high rise.** Thanks for the suggestions everyone!! EDIT: Thanks so much for all of the suggestions! Most of those I hadn't heard of or come across before. I've got so many to explore, I really appreciate all the advice everyone :)

I’ve been climbing for several years but remain absolutely terrible at reading routes and executing a memorized series of moves. I’m also terrified of anything that feels “risky” and is high on the wall. I love corner routes like this one but was exhausted by the time I got to the penultimate move and really didn’t want to commit to the wall smear (had previously tried going right foot first which felt like it was going to go sideways). I gave this a week off and came back and avoided it for 30 minutes. I spent about 10 watching the video I’d taken last week to memorize the first few moves so I could do them quicker and more efficiently. I still took a second at the top to remind myself that no, I still can’t reach the last hold (and mentally prep for the smear). I’m really proud of this route SPECIFICALLY because for me, it took non-physical skills. I have gotten stronger and have more endurance and while that definitely helped, the reason I was able to get to the top was because of overcoming fear and actually working to remember (and execute) the beta I’d worked on.

Hey everyone! Maybe a weird question, but my partner and I recently got back into lead climbing after a bit of a hiatus. I’m noticing that while falling is not nearly as scary as it used to be (big win for me!), I often hit the wall pretty hard with my feet. My partner gives soft catches, so I’m not sure if there’s a way to minimize the impact on my ankles. My right ankle has had some injuries, and I worry about the high impact. I also am not sure if this is just a consequence of climbing less overhung stuff. We are starting to practice on overhangs, but mostly we climb slab or only slightly overhung routes. Any advice is greatly appreciated 🤗

I have been bouldering in a climbing gym on and off for several years now and am starting to get really into it again. Finally comfortable with some V2s so I have started investing in some starter gear, as I think this is an activity I am going to stick with long term. I have been renting gear at my local gym, bringing water and snacks in a reusable grocery bag. Just purchased my first pair of La Sportiva Taraltulas and was gifted a chalk bag. Interested in top roping with my partner as a fun date night every once in a while too. I have several hiking/travel/sports bags/backpacks ranging from 12L to 35L. Looking for recommendation for best size for climbing gym bag, and what else should I put in it? Any additional gear I should purchase?

Hey folks, long story short - after hearing a few podcasts and articles I learned that the tension board is actually great in translating strength into outdoor lead (or some bouldering too). I have access probably once a week or every other week to a TB1 (and probably sporadically to TB2) and am thinking should I do it as a regular training routine. I want to break into 5.12 outdoors. My fingers are pretty strong comparing to my current grade - never tested max hang but I can hang on 20mm for a good 10sec. But tension board might be kinda harsh to me - Last year I accidentally flashed a V5 (or 4??) on a TB2 when trying it for the first time but my fingers felt weak for 3 days... I rarely see anyone gals or femme folks in the gym on tension (ok, I rarely see anyone at all, they crowd the kilter instead) so I'm curious to ask what's your TB regiment? Is 1/wk or 0.5/week enough, too much/little? How to ease into it without hurting my pulleys? Or most importantly does it work (better) than other means for a lead climber of high 11/low 12 or am I better off just climb gym sets and get outside more? (which is unfortunately not quite feasible for me, SAD)

tw brief body size/shape mention I’ve been climbing 7-8 months but only go about once a week. I don’t have a car and tend to climb with my bf, and we only have the time to go together once a week. I also pole dance, hoop and do yoga outside of climbing. I see posts in here about people that are already doing v3+ after less than 6 months. my gym uses E, E+, M-, etc. I can do like 95% of the Es and maybe 55-60% of the E+s. I feel like I have gotten better since starting but at a rate much slower than what seems average. I’m in my early 30s and shorter/heavier than many climbers (i’m at the smaller end of “midsize”) so maybe I’m expecting too much. I feel the same with pole- I’m definitely making progress but much slower than many of the students. I realize if I focused on one or the other I might progress faster but I do enjoy both, and the pole studio is closer to where I live than the climbing gym, so easier to access without a car. I’m just wondering if anyone else also feels like they are progressing relatively slowly

# Happy every other Thursday! ^(This thread idea is in beta testing so hold tight while we test it out and see how it does.) **You can use this for finding a climbing partner, sharing your business (as long as it is climbing or tangentially related), and to show off those #gainz. There is also** r/ClimbingPartners ​ # To break things down more: 1. Please be careful meeting people from the internet. Climbing is inherently dangerous, meeting people on the internet can be inherently dangerous, both together can be inherently dangerous. This sub is not liable for whatever may happen, but so many subscribers have been making climbing partner posts that condensing them to one area sounded like the best solution. 2. Go ahead and share the link to your Etsy or Red Bubble shop or whatever. Specifically we get a lot of sticker design posts and in lieu of having a bunch of self promo posts on the feed, they should go here. 3. Finally- Physique posts! As we know, all shapes and sizes are welcome, valid, and appreciated in climbing, and especially in this sub! Some members found the posts to be a bit triggering though, so the goal was to put them in a place where they can avoid clicking the link and seeing that content.

I'm much more of a rope climber than boulderer so forgive the basic question. I've read and been told that the safe way to fall or drop off a boulder route is to basically land on your feet and then butt and rock/roll backwards. This makes sense but I find it hard to actually do consistently. And I so rarely see anyone actually doing it! Mostly people seem to just land on their feet and bend their knees. I'm watching a comp video of Natalia Grossman (part of the US Olympic team) and she consistently lands on her feet, even dropping from the very top of the wall. So... help me understand? Are there different scenarios where you fall differently? Is it just that experienced boulderers get used to landing safely without needing to roll? Edit: thanks all, you have me convinced even if I'm the only one who does it at my gym 😊 Definitely don't need to add any strain to these knees.

Hi all, I've not really been climbing that long (on and off for three years, been very regular in the last two months) and have purchased my own climbing shoes a while ago. They're the Simond Klimb shoes, and while they get the job done, I do have slight bunions and am worried about them getting worse with this particular shoe because it is so tight on the toe knuckle. They also start to hurt after wearing them for a bit, which makes smearing difficult. Small footholds are fine though. I saw someone else in this subreddit got the MadRock Drone HV CS shoes, and they look wider and generally better for bunion-y feet. Even though I've not had my other climbing shoes for that long, I'm really into this sport and think an investment into proper shoes might be worth it. (Link: /shop/drone-hv-cs-169#attr=903). I'd say my feet are pretty normal in width so maybe the LV is better? Has anyone gotten this particular shoe and has bunions? If so, what is it like? Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for mid-ranged price shoes if these are no good? If these are good, what is the sizing like? I can only order them online (UK based), and with their return policy it'd be better if I got it right first try. I wear a street shoe size 39 (UK 6) in basically every shoe I own. Even my Simond Klimb shoes are a size 39. Based on the cm size chart (feet measure in at 24-ish cm) on the US website I'd have to go for a size 38 (UK 5) but am a little weary. Any suggestions? edit: formatting

Hi gals! I’ve been climbing for about about 5 months now (top rope) but bouldered for a year before covid hit. Just starting to get back into it all again. I’m sure this is a silly question but I’m genuinely curious - which one is better for gaining muscle? For some reason, I always feel like I’ve “worked out” after bouldering but my forearm is always sore after top rope as well. Also, is it better to go slower or faster on routes to gain muscle? Does that matter at all? Some of my friends like to flash it and for me that doesn’t feel as much of a workout as going slow does? Would love to hear any and all thoughts! Thank you in advance 😊 Edit: WOW thank you all SO much for all the insight!!! Every comment is super helpful, appreciate it immensely 🥲

Decided to buy a SBT90.2 FF T9R during the cheap sales, liked it so much I took a bandsaw to it and bought another. Optic pulled from my Acebeam L18, then bought some replacements on Aliexpress. Bezel is permanent, using JB Weld and a custom lens wafer. Sanded and painted black. Why? Who knows! Very fun little light and while not as powerful as the absolute beast that is the Manker Mk37, it’s a great all around thrower with equally beautiful spill. Doesn’t throw as far as the stock T9R, but far more pocketable. Beam shots go: Manker Mk37, T9R TIR, T9R stock They seem to represent what the eye sees pretty well. The Mk37 is significantly brighter, as one might expect. T9Rs both have P26B cells

I have a fairly abused D4SV2 with a Vapcell K62. Has a cracked (but holding) lens with weld spatter marks and plenty of scratches in its blue livery. I don't EDC it, but often use it for work on the car. 2 months ago I was using it in my engine bay, magnetic base right in top of the engine block/valve cover while I fiddled with the injectors. Apparently, I left my poor light there, because when I went back into the engine bay yesterday, after all that time, there it was. Its been in direct magnetic contact with the engine for 2 months and about 2000 miles. It was too hot to hold for longer than a few seconds as I'd just been driving. After cooling for an hour, I put it on a slow charge (250mA for 30 mins then 500mA for 11+ hours) and surprisingly there seems to be little or no ill effects. I seem to remember it running low when I last used it so maybe a low cell voltage was beneficial in the face of ~80° C heat exposure. I'll be a bit cautious with it for a while as I still don't trust the cell, but good so far and grateful my carelessness didn't cause a lithium fire to burn through my engine...

Basically I'm wanting to buy a knockoff m340 vampire, and make it higher performance, without having to spend $450 on the real deal.... My main issue is I'm not sure how to keep the twisting mode change feature, if i upgrade to a better driver, as I'm not sure how the twist to change modes really works, to be honest. Not sure if I can keep it simple and work with the existing led's, or if I'll want to source new led's that fit onto the same board. Not sure I'd be able to find a dual led mcpcb that both will fit into the reflector diameter properly. This seems to be the issue with some knockoffs already, that the IR light has a deadspot from not fitting into the reflector opening. My final option would be to simply make it an IR only light, which would be annoying but possible.... maybe with the convoy s2 IR guts? It's showing 1150mw, versus the 100mw on the Surefire. Am i missing something, or is it just because the Convoy is a dedicated IR light?

I recently started to explore small caves, but my phone's light isn't really helping that much to be fair. I need a small flashlight that I can keep in the small pocket of my backpack in case I stumble upon a cave while I'm hiking. I don't want anything that good since I'll probably use it a once or twice a month, so maybe something around 30$? The only requirements would be to be rechargeable and have a decently long normal light (to look at walls and the ceiling) and a second light (flooder I think it's called) to see the floor while I'm walking. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I’m just a lurker and I love seeing everyone nerd out on the flashlights that are posted. It’s made me interested and I want to jump on the band wagon. I don’t know much about flashlights so I’m hoping some of y’all might be able to help. Would anyone be able to recommend 2 flashlights? I’m looking for a ‘flood’?(I think that’s the right term) light that would be good for camping and another that would be good for searching through a warehouse. Also, is there anything about the basics that I should know? Total noob here, thank you for taking the time to read this and comment if you do

I have bought cheap UV lights for looking at scorpions when I visited the southwest, to look at rocks and minerals (which I knew nothing about) and to find cat pee. I’ve been looking for another one and can’t find consistent information on the differences between different lights. Are certain wavelengths always better for rocks and minerals, bodily fluids, animal fluids, caterpillars and scorpions, the glass (I can’t think of the name of it right now) that glows? Is there one light that works for all these things?

Looking to buy a couple to try out and need a little education. I have an older S21+ and it is a great light. I dont really carry is but it gets used quite a bit. I plan to order two or three lights. At least 1 edc size and 1 with throw. 1. Where is the best place to order? 2. What is the major difference between Linear, Buck and which is better? 3. Can I get some recommendations on lights/led/driver combos with batteries? Edited to add - the more I look, I made order 4-5 lights. Going to add a UV also. Is there some type of an emitter spreadsheet? The list of options is a little overwhelming for a newb. Does everyone prefer the 4 modes or 12 groups? Thanks.

I order this light with some other last week and it already arrived. Seems like a great little light except for the fact that I haven't figured out the UI yet, oh well I'll look at that later. On their site it still says Preorder yet here it already is... Nothing to serious to show or say yet but considering this is a unibody design and the fact that when screwing the battery cover on and the usb flap popping out, I would say this light is going be great for water proofing. Or atleast that's what I think. It's kinda hard to show but it is really the 519A as I can juuuuust about see in there.

Morning all, I work for the railway but only go trackside sporadically. I'm after a head torch for work. I exclusively use surefire and streamlight, even though they're probably no where near as good as the alternatives I trust them but they don't seem to really do anything that fits the bill. What I'm looking for; Ideally - Compact. I need to have it on me all the time but probably won't use it to often. - Decent battery life, I could be walking a long way at night to get to the site. Plus doing the task and walking back. - Strong and dependable. It will be a bad day out if it doesn't work when I need it to. - Simple interface, preferably just a low and a high, I hate switching through modes with different clicks etc Essential - Charging - Needs to charge on ether a micro or USB c like the rest of my electronics in the truck. - Must have a red light option or filter Thanks in advance guy, if it's going to be something solid that will last a decade + I'll pay whatever for it.

I'm curious as to why this is (I sound dumb, just trying to learn more). All 2000lm (max output) flashlights I've ever heard of can't sustain that many lumens for any longer than a few minutes and will have to step down to avoid over heating (I'm talking like 18650-21700 cell lights) But what about LED bulbs? (The kind you use for lighting your house), They can go for as long as you want, do they not over heat? Do they have thermal regulation? Or is it that because they don't have a battery and driver (no driver right?) there isn't really anything to get fried? I want an explanation Edit: I think I have enough answers so no need to make new comments, thank y'all

Acho esse filme incrível. Começa com uma metalinguagem sobre cinema e o sentimento de revolução da França, mas que também está presente em jovens de todos os lugares. Há o desenvolvimento intrigante de uma relação amorosa nada convencional, mas que é mostrada totalmente despida de pudor ou preconceito. É um filme cru, jovem, subversivo e tão encantador quanto chocante. O final em especial mostra o quão voláteis podem ser as emoções. Além disso, a Eva Green é simplesmente uma deusa! Fiquei chocada quando descobri que foi o primeiro filme dela.

Vi este filme recentemente, é um filme que demorei a entender e tive que voltar várias vezes e rever as cenas de novo. A história do filme é boa, conta sobre temas muito sensíveis, como o suicídio, bullyng, estru*o, roubos e por ai vai. A trama é bem desenvolvida mas confesso que só percebi que o filme contava a história de vários personagens depois que vi um cara explicando kkk. Japonês é tudo igual, pra mim a trama ficava só em um personagem. O maior plot desse filme foi saber que as conversas desse filme, aquelas partes de texto, eram os alunos conversando entre si. Todos aqueles nomes, blue cat, philia etc. Eram os alunos da sala de yushi. O filme possui uma filmagem variada, as vezes é gravado normal, em certo momento é gravado por uma espécie de câmera amadora. Existe essa mudança durante o filme, eu sinceramente gosto deste estilo apresentado, o filtro frio do filme também é muito bom. Gostaria de ouvir de vocês que assistiram esse filme, o que acharam?

Fala pessoal blza? Me indiquem alguns filmes ou ate series sobre viagem no tempo ou loops temporais como no filme (limite do amanha) eu curto demais esse tipo de filme. Ultimamente tenho achado alguns filmes e series que são excelentes sobre viagem no tempo mas que nao tinham nenhum sucesso e estavam escondidos nos cafofos da internet, como a minisserie (11.22.63), episodio de supernatural que o sam fica preso num loop temporal, projeto almanaque, tem uns filmes muito legais, me indiquem ai um que eu nao vi ainda pq ta dificil de achar kkkk

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) David Lean Robert Bolt, Michael Wilson AppleTV, Amazon Video (aluguel) Vocês pediram clássico, e aqui está! Um dos maiores e melhores filmes de Guerra de todos os tempos, com uma influência que transcende o gênero. Além de documentar muito bem a história real, Lawrence of Arabia não deixa de lado a experiência cinematográfica. É um filme que gostaria muito de ter a chance de assistir em uma sala de cinema um dia. Um verdadeiro clássico, inesquecível! Já assistiu a Lawrence of Arabia?

Sinceramente, vi sem nenhuma expectativa e gostei muito, talvez até mais do que o primeiro. Ainda sim, acho que não é um filme exclusivamente destinado para o público infantil, visto que uma criança não vai compreender verdadeiramente o que é ter uma crise de ansiedade ou lidar com emoções mais complexas. "Ah, mas crianças gritam e choram por qualquer coisa. É ansiedade?" Não exatamente. Geralmente, crianças não sabem lidar com as próprias emoções primárias: Alegria, Tristeza, medo, raiva e nojo. É por isso que uma criança grita quando está feliz, mas também grita quando está triste, frustada, etc. Os medos e preocupações das crianças geralmente se baseiam em coisas físicas e palpáveis, ou momentâneas. Eu sou uma pessoa MUITO ansiosa, então confesso que me reconheci bastante em muitas cenas do filme KKKKKKKK. Só não chorei porque fui assistir no cinema. Enfim. Gostaria de saber a opinião de vocês sobre o filme. O que acharam?

Nos últimos 20 anos, o filme “Moulin Rouge” (2001), dirigido por Baz Luhrmann, se tornou um dos musicais de maior sucesso mundial. O enredo se passa no ano de 1899 e apresenta o amor impossível da mais desejada cortesã da colina de Montmartre, Satine, com o burguês e aspirante a escritor, Christian (Ewan McGregor). A produção rendeu 8 indicações ao Oscar 2002, incluindo a de Melhor Atriz para Nicole Kidman (venceu apenas na de Melhor Direção de Arte e de Melhor Figurino). Contudo, o que poucos sabem é que a personagem de Kidman possivelmente foi inspirada em uma das maiores dançarinas de Can-Can francesa, chamada Jane Avril, a musa de Toulouse-Lautrec. Ela viveu entre 1868 e 1943. De origens bastante humildes, com mãe alcóolatra e pai ausente, Avril chegou a ser internada numa clínica para tratamento de mulheres consideradas “histéricas”. A dança foi o meio através do qual, segundo ela contou, conseguiu se curar da suposta doença. No ano de 1889, Avril foi contratada pelo Moulin Rouge e logo se tornou a atração principal. Ela foi descrita pelo escritor belga Frantz Jourdain como uma “criatura requintada, nervosa e neurótica, a flor cativante da corrupção artística e da graça doentia”. Mas, diferentemente de Satine, ela teve um final bem diverso: em 1911, Jane se casou com o artista francês Maurice Biais, ao lado de quem viveu até o ano de 1920, quando se separaram. Ela morreu aos 74 anos, pobre e esquecida. O desfecho de Satine, porém, foi inspirando em uma narrativa ainda mais triste: o romance “A Dama das Camélias” (1848), de Alexandre Dumas Filho, obra de cunho autobiográfico que conta a história de Armando, jovem perdidamente apaixonado pela cortesã Marguerite Gautier. O enredo se baseia no próprio relacionamento de Dumas Filho com Marie Duplessis, uma das mais famosas cortesãs parisienses do século XIX, que, assim como Satine, morreu precocemente de tuberculose, aos 23 anos.

Sidney Pottier. "Adivinhe quem vem para jantar (1967): uma história de amor e aceitação Sinopse: "Adivinhe quem vem para jantar" (1967) aborda um assunto delicado para a época: o casamento inter-racial. Conta a história de Joanna "Joey" Drayton (Katharine Houghton), uma mulher branca que retorna para casa em São Francisco depois de férias no Havaí com um anúncio surpreendente - ela está noiva do Dr. John Prentice (Sidney Poitier), um brilhante médico negro. Os pais de Joey, Matt (Spencer Tracy) e Christina Drayton (Katharine Hepburn), são um casal de mente liberal que se orgulha de sua mente aberta. No entanto, quando confrontados com a realidade de sua filha se casar com um homem negro, seus verdadeiros sentimentos começam a vir à tona. O filme explora as ansiedades, os conflitos culturais e, em última análise, o crescimento e a aceitação que os Draytons experimentam ao lidar com este evento de mudança de vida. Elenco: O filme possui um elenco estelar: Spencer Tracy (em seu último papel no cinema) oferece uma atuação diferenciada como Matt Drayton, um homem que luta contra seus próprios preconceitos internos. Katharine Hepburn interpreta Christina Drayton, uma mulher aparentemente progressista que questiona suas próprias crenças. Sidney Poitier, um ícone de Hollywood, interpreta o Dr. John Prentice, o charmoso e bem-sucedido noivo preso no meio do drama familiar. Katharine Houghton traz energia e determinação juvenil como Joey Drayton, uma mulher que luta por seu amor. Bilheteria e impacto: Lançado em 1967, durante o auge do Movimento dos Direitos Civis, "Adivinhe quem vem para jantar" ressoou profundamente no público. Apesar do tema polêmico, o filme se tornou um sucesso comercial e de crítica. Lucro: arrecadou mais de US$ 67 milhões de bilheteria, uma soma significativa em 1967. Prêmios: O filme recebeu dez indicações ao Oscar, incluindo Melhor Filme, Melhor Ator para Spencer Tracy (postumamente) e Melhor Atriz para Katharine Hepburn. Ganhou dois prêmios: Melhor Atriz para Katharine Houghton e Melhor Canção Original por "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". Informação adicional: O título do filme refere-se ao jantar surpresa oferecido pelos Draytons para os pais de John, interpretados por Beah Richards e Roy E. Glenn Sr., acrescentando outra camada de exploração cultural. "Adivinhe quem vem para jantar" é considerado um filme marcante por retratar relações inter-raciais e por tentar iniciar conversas sobre raça e aceitação. Embora alguns aspectos do filme não tenham envelhecido perfeitamente, ele continua sendo uma peça significativa da história de Hollywood."

Alguns anos venho tentando descobrir de qual filme se originou e é sempre relembrada na cultura pop, seja em desenhos, outros filmes, a famosa cena de dois adolescentes no carro e uma criatura vem (creio que seja alienígena) acaba pegando os adolescente. Queria muito saber qual foi o filme que deu origem essa homenagem infinita, que sempre vejo retatrada em desenhos, séries e filmes. EDIT: /watch?v=wys2Ot4yLTg&ab_channel=FunniestCartoonMoments animações como futurama reprisaram está cena

Hi! So I’m part of the lgbt community but I am a cisgender woman. Today I was talking with my tattoo artist and the other artist who works with her. And the artist who works with her automatically used they/them pronouns when referring to me. I thought it was nice that she was being considerate by not assuming, but I am not used to correcting people on my pronouns. The way that she worked it into the sentence made it difficult to correct her because she would ask my tattoo artist, “oh did you tell them about (blank)” and my tattoo artist would respond. So what’s the best way, in the future, to interject a conversation to correct them?

(sorry for my bad english, i'm french) I, F17, am pansexual. I think I figure out I was pansexual since middle school. Everybody lives their sexuality in their own way but to me I identify as pansexual because I'm attracted to people no matter what they identify as and for who they are inside. During my 3 years of school I made some great friends who I felt comfortable, most are also in the lgbtqia+ community. I became best friends with a guy I knew from primary school, Mathieu, a gay man, who I considered to be just like my brother. I invited Mathieu home several times and my parents even invited him to spend the holidays with us in our vacation home. They never saw a problem with him being gay and they never had a problem with the lgbtqia+ community so I always told myself that if I ever came out to my parent they would accept it, guess I was wrong. For my last two years of highschool I met a girl named Clémence, who is a lesbian, I knew she had a crush on me but I was too concerned about my grades and the final exam that every French kid have at the end of high school to date anyone so we remained good friends. But even tho I keep telling myself not to fall in love with anyone to concentrate on myself I still managed to have feelings for her, but we could not date because I already told her that I preferred being alone and so she naturally went to see other girls and found a girlfriend. So for one years I had to hide my feelings toward her and support her during her breakup with her girlfriend During a party we played truth or dare and one of the player gave me the dare to kiss Clémence, what I did, after we kissed (and also half drunk, yes we are underage but we are also French so its fine) I confessed my feelings for her, saying that I have been in love with her for two years. So for the end of our last year of highschool we were flirting and after our final exam was over I asked her out and she said yes. Currently i'm dating her and it has been wonderful so far, I love her and it's been a very long time since I loved someone like that. This is where the problem starts: At the end of a party with some friends I asked Clémence to walk me home as it was very late, when we arrived in front of my building she kissed me and hugged me goodbye, just after that my mother called me and told me to come inside, when I looked up I saw my mom staring at me and my girlfriend. When I came inside she was crying and kept telling me that me being gay was not normal, that my girlfriend should not be hugging me like that in public. She told me that it made to sense that I like girls because I have nothing close to "masculine" in my lifestyle compared to my girlfriend who is a masc lesbian. Hearing my mother crying my dad woke up and so I came out to him, compare to my mom he was very calm and thanks to him we talked it out without shouting. the conclusion of this first conversation with my parents was that according to them I should not be in a relationship, because I am not ready yet and too sensitive and that I should first love myself before I try to love someone. I texted Clémence what happened and cried myself to sleep. The next day my parents acted like nothing happened. I thought that was better than running away from me like I was a monster. But when I told my mom I wanted to go out and see Clémence she cried, I was so mad but keep my calm. She kept saying that I should not be with a girl as it's not the natural way human are born and she asked me to break up with Clémence. We had a new conversation thanks to my dad again. My parents want me to stop seeing her for the time being. But I love her and I don't want to break up with her nor stop seeing her. I have two options: - I listen to my parents and I live my life alone for the moment, I try to open up to the world and discover new things and new people who can perhaps make me happy. - I keep dating Clémence in secret, hiding it from my parents and having to find excuses when I want to go see her. naturally I chose the second option, I told Clémence and I warned her that it was going to be more complicated to see each other now, already because we are going to different schools next year but also because the times when we are going to see each other must remain secret. To this Clémence shared her fear with me, she tells me that she's afraid that I'll give up and that I'll listen to my parents, that I always have to hide whenever I want to see her and that I'm going to get tired and one day I'm going to leave her. to be honest, all this story makes me tired and depressed, I should have stayed alone and never confessed my feelings but I love her and I don't want to leave her but at the same time I don't want to continue arguing with my parents and I wanna go back to the time when we we're close and drama free. I need help I don't know what to do.

I am very new to anything LGBT related and I am in a very loving relationship with current partner. I do believe I could be bi, but I have never been attracted to masculine features at all, but in recent months I have been seeing a rise in "femboys" and well now my brain is scrambled because I LOVE everything about women and now there are men out there with prominent feminine features and traits and maybe some of you men may agree with me, but it flips a certain switch in my head the same way when I see an attractive woman. I am very unsure what to make of this do I just really like tomboys or am I bi?

Cishet dude here. I want to thank you all for being a wonderfully supportive community and for being home to some of my closest friends (irl). You have talented artists,musicians, craftspeople, and so much more. Best of all many of you are able to live as your true authentic selves. That’s something i will always admire. The world is scary and hostile to you. There is no denying that. Keep fighting because you make the world and better place and I can’t imagine not having you all in my life. I love you all.

I'm a bi and genderqueer woman who married a straight man. I look gay. I have a rainbow arm band tattoo and short hair. I don't shave. I'm clockable on purpose so I can be a very visible queer in a not queer friendly place. My husband very gently held me in bed and told me, "I need you to know that you're the most important thing to me. And I need you to know that if you're in danger, you can lie. You have to lie. You say anything you have to to come home." How many times have I held a lover in bed these last few years and tried to make peace with going back in the closet? And even though I'm in the only straight passing relationship I've ever been in, he knows I still wouldn't be safe. He's worried. It's not unwarranted. God, I'm tired.

idk if this is allowed in this sub—i don’t see anything against it but i also don’t know if it fits—i just thought here would be a good place to ask if nothing else i’m an amateur hobby writer currently working on a queer romance thing, i’ll be honest i don’t really know how to describe it but it’s definitely focused on a mlm relationship. i’m looking for someplace i can share it just to get it out there and also receive feedback i really like AO3 for both reading and sharing my stuff, but this is OC and from my experience there’s not a whole lot of love for OC stuff over there since it’s meant for fanfiction. another thing is that i don’t write chronilogically, i tend to do it in fragments and piece things together as i go. for any site like AO3 i feel like you kinda have to write in order, so that would be a problem. lastly, its (very) nsfw and queer which could disqualify it from being posted in certain places or just get a bad reaction. any recommendations for other subreddits or websites would be pretty baller, thanks :) ^(small disclaimer: i am very much part of the queer community myself, and a longtime member of this subreddit i’m not just coming here to ask this i just think you guys are cool and might be able to help)

So I am struggling with labels. I originally came out as bisexual several years ago. I came to the conclusion later after dating men that I don't feel physically attraction at all. Then I meet my wife and truly understood what true physically attraction is. We have been together for 3 years💛 The issue that I am having is that the label lesbian just doesn't feel right. Like I don't look like a lesbian. I'm not really masc or fem I'm just me. Like I don't look gay enough, or don't act a certain way to use this lable. And so I just use queer as a blanket term. But I am wondering if there is a better fiting word that I don't know about?

Okay, so I'm a ciswoman, born female and still identify as one, and I've considered myself straight my entire life. I never related to all the lgbt+ community, but I'd always support my friends if they came out to me. (Obv, what're friends for.) So, I've liked this guy for a while now. But recently, they came out as trans. I didn't know how to react or feel, and I still don't. I think I still like them, but the idea of them being a female doesn't seem attractive to me. (They go by they/them, but some ppl say that nonbinary ppl aren't trans or whatnot.) So, the thoughts going through my mind are like: 1. Do I still like them? I should, shouldn't I? Because they knew they were trans while I still liked them, they just didn't say anything until now. (I always believed in liking someone for being themselves, not because of who they are; In a sense) 2. If I really do still like them, am I still straight? Or am I now bi? A friend said I might be pan. But I wouldn't say I'm bi or pan, because I only like THEM and only them. 3. If I don't like them anymore because they revealed to be trans, does that mean I never truly liked them before? I thought I did, I think I do. 4. I know these labels might not feel right with me, and honestly if I don't out a label on it I'd feel more comfortable, but at the same time, the fact these labels exist makes me feel like I'd like to know at least WHAT I could be. A backup plan of closure? Kinda.

I've wanted a girlfriend for years now. But since I'm homeschooled, it's quite hard to find one. My mom had found this LGBTQ+ club I could maybe find a girlfriend in. Well, no need for that! Because it turns out one of my friends has had a crush on me for over a year. And some of our other friends have been trying to set us up. Now, I don't necessarily have feelings for her yet. But she's really cute and nice and I think they definitely could develop. And if it doesn't work out, we can always just be friends. I am so excited right now guys! 🥹

I'm a 17 year old trans and queer boy. I don't meet a lot of queer adults, none of us out here in the middle of nowhere do, we have no frame of reference to how things are going except for how they're going online; and they're not going good online. The election is coming up in the US, of which i'm from, i'm scared and depressed, I can't live in the closet. I have a boyfriend, and I want to have a family with him. I couldn't go back into the closet if I wanted to. I haven't heard much of anything good at all. everything I see online from queer creators is reacting to absolutely vile hate comments, I don't even bother reading the comments most of the time anymore, unless i'm doomscrolling. I just want to be told things will be okay, even if they won't be. I live in an unquestionably blue state, as does my boyfriend, but even so, that's not confirmed safety by any means. I ask as a queer child, on behalf of my friends who are also queer children; are we going to be alright? are we going to be able to survive? are you guys even here?

Hello, Im trying to create a deck for memorizing tables in russian (there are many, given that there are cases and genders). An example of how a table would look like is this /rs31dlqjv7cd1.png?width=1625&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc545363fddbe33b02eec435bbb56e880c31a926 So for example, for that table, I have created many cards that look like this /m0mg1uyqv7cd1.png?width=1853&format=png&auto=webp&s=3f9489569093f3016eb2dab55a6c949d0ade31b3 What I would like is that when I reveal the answer, a non-robotic voice would read out loud "словарь. словари" (the example for that card). The only way I can think of for doing this right now is downloading audios one by one from webs that have good resources. However this is slow, as there are many tables like this. Any idea on how to approach this? Thank you!

[/FB8iZuq36fWg9WULA](/FB8iZuq36fWg9WULA) I've posted several surveys on this sub before, but this one is a little different: depending on your answers, you may be asked to upload your Anki collection. Don't worry if you've never done that before, the survey has a simple guide with extra steps for users who are concerned about privacy. This is important, so I'd love to get as many respondents as possible. Last time I posted it, I didn't get a lot of responses from the 4-button folks, hence why I'm reposting it. If you have already participated, you don't need to do it again.

I know the general rule of thumb is "Again" when you failed, "Hard" when you passed but only barely, "Good" when you passed and "Easy" when you passed almost instantly. However, is this also the case for new cards? Don't you just end up hitting "Again" on all cards if it's a prebuilt vocab deck for example? Doesn't this set a high difficulty in FSRS for cards that may very well be easily remembered after the first time? Especially considering the fact that FSRS algorithm only takes the first grading of the day into account. I used to hit "Hard" or "Good" on new cards that I know I will easily get the next time, but perhaps I've been doing it wrong.

I want to create flashcards having 3 levels like Questions -> hint -> Answer. Is there a way to create three-level flashcards in anki? Where hint appear when user click and then a second click will cause answer to appear. Possible usecases are : 1. In coding - where problem followed by algorithm (usually 2 or 3 lines) followed by language specific program 2. In mathematics - questions followed by steps (usually 2 or 3 lines in short) followed solutions 3. Essay writing - topic followed by short pointers or dimensions (usually one word but multiple) then phrases Can anyone please help or atleast guide me? Appreciate all kind of suggestions. Thanks

Hi everyone! Let’s say I have a test in a few days and would like to go over every flashcard in a deck to review everything. Unfortunately, Anki does not let you dot that and only lets you review the old flashcard once in a few days or weeks. Is there a way to get past that and review everything without limitations (without it messing too much with the algorithm and reviews per day)? I’ve tried increasing the daily limit, but then I end up drowning in flashcards with too much reviews/day. I’ve also tried exporting and importing an old deck to start from zero. If it may help in any way, I use Anki on Windows. Thankful for any help!

u/LMSherlock only asked in Discord, so I've made this post instead of him. The main difference between FSRS-4.5 and FSRS-5 is that FSRS-5 takes same-day reviews into account, plus the formula for difficulty for the first review has been tweaked, but that's not super important. FSRS-5 is not available as part of Anki yet, only as a standalone copy-paste-code-in-the-custom-scheduling-field thingy. Release: [/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/releases/tag/v5.0.0](/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/releases/tag/v5.0.0) People who have experience with anything Github-related are welcome. Tutorial for those who haven't used copy-paste-code FSRS before: [/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/main/docs/tutorial2.md](/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/main/docs/tutorial2.md) Basically, you need to optimize parameters using Google Colab ([fsrs4anki\_optimizer.ipynb](/github/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/v5.0.0/fsrs4anki_optimizer.ipynb)) and then copy-paste them into the custom scheduling code ([fsrs4anki\_scheduler.js](/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/v5.0.0/fsrs4anki_scheduler.js)), which itself goes into the custom scheduling field. If you find any issues, report them here: [/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/issues](/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/issues) All of this is, of course, much less convenient than using the built-in FSRS, so I'm not saying that everyone is welcome to participate in testing, only people who are at least somewhat tech-savvy. Right now, it's not clear when FSRS-5 will be integrated into Anki natively, hopefully before the end of the year.

After reading various posts and documents explaining how FSRS works, I followed the advice to do 1000-1500 reviews of my new deck and optimize the parameters. However, this caused a bit of a problem for me because I went from: 1st review 'Correct' = 20 min / 2nd review 'Correct' = 5-6 days (unoptimized parameters) to 2nd review 'Correct' = 24 days (optimized parameters). This difference in time scared me, so I wanted to test the maximum retention rate given by these two sets of parameters and I found: - Unoptimized FSRS: 0.76 - Optimized FSRS: 0.77 Note that my cards vary from 'flash card: 1 concept' to 'notes cards' that cover entire sections of a course, with a desired retention rate of 0.85. And I use the buttons as follows: - Again = I don't remember - Hard = information partially or completely recalled but felt difficult - Good = information fully recalled - Easy = used exceptionally Is all this normal? Should I really trust these 'optimized parameters' that schedule my cards too quickly for long intervals? Are you in the same situation with FSRS?

Hey all, I created [a simple python utility](/acrognale/anki-to-obsidian) for syncing cards created by [Obsidian_to_Anki](/ObsidianToAnki/Obsidian_to_Anki) back to Obsidian. I couldn't find anything else that worked for my workflow. There's a few limitations, chiefly that it only supports the very specific question and answer format I use out of the box: Q: the question - answer line one - answer line two <!--ID: 123--> It also only supports basic cards at the moment (Front and Back). I plan to add cloze support at some point but probably won't add other card types. If you want to use a different card format, you can update the regex in `sync/card_parser.py`. I hope someone else that happens to use this niche workflow finds it useful!

Hi all, I've released a new open-source command-line tool named [Yanki](/kitschpatrol/yanki) for turning a folder of Markdown files into Anki cards. The three main ideas behind its design are: * **One** Markdown file maps to **one** Anki note. * The **structure** of a Markdown note determines the **type** of Anki note it becomes, so no extra syntax or Anki-specific markup is required — just pure Markdown. * The **parent folder** of your Markdown note determines its **deck name** in Anki, with any intermediate hierarchies created as needed. The MIT-licensed [source code is on GitHub](/kitschpatrol/yanki), along with a lengthy readme, and the tool itself is [available via NPM](/package/yanki). It's been tested on Windows and macOS, and should work on Linux as well. There are already lots of powerful tools out there for using Markdown with Anki, so I took the liberty of trading flexibility for simplicity pretty aggressively in Yanki's design. Advanced users who want complex custom note types and templating will likely be better served by other tools! I've also released an [Obsidian community plugin](/kitschpatrol/yanki-obsidian) that's based on Yanki and lets you sync cards straight from Obsidian to Anki. And for any developers out there, it's worth noting that Yanki exposes all the functionality available in the CLI via a TypeScript API. I've also published a lower-level [TypeScript library named yanki-connect](/kitschpatrol/yanki-connect) which makes it a bit easier to work directly with the Anki-Connect add-on. I'm happy to answer any questions or hear any feedback. It should be pretty stable at this point, and I'm planning to call it a 1.0 some time in the next few weeks after additional testing.

I've been actively learning Japanese and using Anki daily to study around 130 words per day. However, I'll soon be attending a Japanese learner camp where phones aren't allowed. I'm wondering if it would significantly affect my progress in the long term. I'm concerned about potentially overwhelming myself with a backlog of cards when I return, and whether it might disrupt the order of my learning. I feel like I will come back to around 1000 words, to be honest 1000 words is fine if it will not ruin the order later on. Any advice or insights would be awesome

Let me start by saying that I absolutely condemn political violence in any way, shape or form. Let me state that again so we’re all absolutely clear on that point: #I CONDEMN POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM I also want to say that I am relieved to hear that Mr. Trump is safe and sound. I’m glad that the Secret Service reacted quickly once the threat of violence was revealed and swiftly did everything in their power to protect him. I am, however, saddened to hear that one of the attendees of the rally was killed and that others were injured because of the unhinged behavior of one person. That being said, I have two thoughts that have dominated my mind ever since I learned of these events and I’d like to share them with you, especially since these two thoughts lead to a point I want to make that I feel is important for everyone to hear. So I hope you’ll bear with me and indulge me for a moment. *Thought 1:* While the gunman’s identity and true motives are not yet confirmed or even entirely clear, his actions were a mistake. Many in the days to come will, and have already started to, take this as an excuse to treat Trump as a kind of political martyr. The attempt on his life will be seen as an attempt to silence a voice that many see as speaking out against the powers that be and his candidacy can only be bolstered by this. *Thought 2:* Mr. Trump, himself, made a mistake when he was finally pulled from the floor of that stage by defiantly raising his fist and mouthing the word “Fight”. There are many on the right who were already looking for an excuse to attack the people they see as enemies and what Mr. Trump has done is the equivalent of lighting a match and tossing it wantonly towards the powder keg that our country already was. What he did will, undoubtedly, just inspire a new wave of violence motivated towards those on the left who speak against Trump. This all leads to my point and, once again, let me perfectly clear on the fact that I condemn political violence of any kind. My point is simply this. It is perfectly valid and understandable to disagree with a political ideology, party or even a specific candidate. The very idea of America is that we should be free to debate the issues and discuss both sides. That’s what enables us to find the common ground necessary for us to move forward as a country. I have made it clear to the people in my life that I disagree with Trump’s position and his rhetoric as well as many of the key talking points that the MAGA movement is trying to push forward. However, I will never let my disagreement over these issues devolve into violence because history has shown, time and again, that it only leads to more violence. If you disagree with a candidate, if you disagree with a political party, if you disagree with any kind of idea put forth by someone running for any kind of government office, there is only one acceptable way to make your point and do something about it. #VOTE. Go to the polls in November, cast your ballot and make your voice heard. That is not only our right but it is our responsibility, for ourselves, for our families and for our communities. Vote for the person whose beliefs and ideals most closely align with what you feel is the right direction for yourself and the people you care about. And don’t just vote for the person your family or friends or coworkers or anyone else tells you to vote for. Learn everything you can about both sides of the debate and make an informed decision about who you think is most fit to lead us forward into the future. Please do not give into hatred or fear. Please move forward from these most recent events with a clear and calm mind and, if you want to stop a candidate from being the next leader of the free world, do it the right way. Make your voice heard and vote. Thank you for your time, my fellow Americans. Have a good day and stay safe.

Gun shots are weekly, if not a daily occurrence in the news. Even worse outcomes are shared on social media regularly. If anything, it’s ironic that he’s part of the party that doesn’t want stricter gun ownership. The fact that this happened, is no bigger deal and the last or next occurrence of gun violence in the USA. The media can try to commemorate this as some historical event, but the fact is the Republican Party and their decisions have brought us to this point I wont be feeling any different about this event than I would any other. The news should continue with the next segment as usual (only dedicating a couple of minutes for the person shot) and keep it moving. The media and republicans have normalized gun violence by refusing to address the core issues. Yes we need to change gun ownership laws, that is obvious. But I won’t be putting more importance or significance to this event than any other gun violence event. **Edit: To avoid repeated comments from bots or people, I’ll include my responses to some comments** 1. This event is of more significance / importance than any other mass shooting event - Why? The ex -president didn’t die. Just because it happened to an ex-president it’s supposed to be a bigger now?!? How many children have died, teens, adults, etc by gun violence? Remember what happened in Texas where police wouldn’t even enter the building and all those small children died??? Again, today is no bigger deal than all of what we’ve been witnessing. 2. Why should we change anything? - That’s sort of my point. Just because it happened to an ex-president we’re all supposed to care or expect change to happen? Which is why I’m stating that what happened today is no bigger deal than any of the other major gun related injuries and deaths we’ve seen and heard of in the news. Change needs to happen but I’m not going to put any more attention to this event than any of the other major ones ignored by republicans. 3. Differentiating an assassination attempt from regular everyday attempted murder/ normal gun violence - What do you define as “normal gun violence thing”? What news are you watching? People are dying every week from gun violence. I wouldn’t classify that as a “normal gun violence thing” in comparison to today. Just because it happened to the ex-president now it’s a big deal? Who is condoning violence? Did you even read the post? - The fact that you don’t understand that the word “assassination” is only differentiated from ‘regular attempted murder’ is the value deemed for someone, further highlights my point. Furthermore, your response is evidence for the need of a better education system. 3. People going off on tangents that have little to nothing to do with the post and or offensive - Your response misses the entire point of the post. Instead of providing something of substance, you offend an entire generation’s intelligence and assume this is some knee jerk post. People with weak or non existent arguments quickly turn to offend. - What about it is absurd? I would like to know why you think not putting any greater significance on today than any of the other mass shootings that’ve occurred is absurd to you. Are you of the belief that it is only rational to value a politicians life more than any of the other multitudes of children and adults killed by gun violence? - What about my thinking is deranged? If anything, I’m highlighting the fact that our society has normalized gun violence through political decisions directly tied to a majority of republicans and biased media manipulating the public. I’m bringing attention to the fact that it being normalized, is a problem. My refusal to place any greater significance because he was an ex-president only emphasizes the core issue, gun violence. Placing greater importance to someone based on their title, any they may have prestige, or followers further perpetuates this oppressive hierarchy. - What does “woke” have anything to do with this post? This post has nothing to do with “leftist” politics. The core and main idea of this post is this event not being any MORE significant than any of the other mass shooting events (For example, Texas mass child shooting)

/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024 /story/shots-fired-at-donald-trump-rally-as-former-president-rushed-off-stage-13177651 5 days before the shooting Biden calls to put Trump in a "bullseye": “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye” /live-updates/2024/07/08/congress/defiant-biden-tells-donors-were-done-with-the-debate-00166834 After the shooting occured president Biden swiftly deleted the tweet with the above quote propagandizing his supporters to put Trump in a bullseye /MchqLgy Information on the gunman can be found here -- a prominent supporter of Joe Biden: /assets/thomas-crooks/ Based on the responses here, the Democrats are in full damage control mode spreading lots of propaganda, this post is flooded with bots.

Why aren't there any "I'm tired of reading political posts" under Republican posts? Why do all of these bad faith participants immediately disappear once you provide facts? Why do these bad faith participants always ignore reasonable arguments and focus on something that wasn't said? I hadn't paid attention to this subreddit in years and then suddenly there are these obvious troll bait posts. Where are Democrats invading spaces to post propaganda? Why are these people immediately assuming that because a person hates Trump that they love Biden? If it's really not that big of a deal then leave us reasonable people alone when we're talking. Edit: at the end of the day, why are some millennial opinions okay but others are irrelevant. The hubris

I've a fairly old account and I don't remember this happening before but as of late I find that anytime I comment longer than two lines or try to make any text post I get flamed to hell and back for being some sort of predictive text widget or a karma bot. Literally had to Google "ChatGPT" the other day. I asked my roommates about it the other night (incredibly varied ages amongst them, if that's important) and they reckoned that it might be a combo of dated terminology + southern upbringing + using too proper of grammar in my posts. The youngest, 25NB, also suggested I might be neurodivergent and I "talk pretty weird in general" which felt great. My repeated experiences here with that are fairly isolating and anytime I ask commenter's what they mean and why they cut me down like that they just double down without actually explaining why they think a thirty four year old woman living in the state of Texas wouldn't be talking like I do. It's every damned time, whether I think I've got something funny that happened in my day or I'm looking for genuine advice, immediate and resounding debasing disbelief. Does this ever happen to anyone else in this sub? I guess sorry in advance for sounding like an effing bot. 🤖

These next four years will shape the future of our country. With much discussion around American politics, it's easy to get distracted by sensationalist views and media treating elections as entertainment. It's important to focus on facts to make informed decisions. **Joe Biden's Age** Yes, Joe Biden is old, but only a medical professional can determine if his age affects his ability to perform presidential duties. The RNC's focus on Biden's age, while ignoring Trump's similar age, shows their willingness to exploit this issue. Aging is inevitable, but not everyone faces serious legal charges or incites violent actions like Trump has. It's crucial to differentiate between the character and actions of each candidate. **Abortion** Trump claims overturning Roe v. Wade was beneficial as it returns choice to states, but in reality, it restricts autonomy where abortions are banned. True choice means keeping abortion legal, allowing individuals to decide for themselves. Elected officials shouldn't dictate personal bodily decisions. **Project 2025** Trump's claim of being unaware of Project 2025, despite its dependency on his election, is insulting to American intelligence. It indicates his support for its goals and highlights his evasiveness on important issues. **Racism on the Rise** Trump's campaign encourages racism and hatred among supporters. Instead of addressing this, they ignore it, reflecting their own views. Meanwhile, they distract the public with concerns about Biden's age. In summary, it's essential to scrutinize candidates' actions and intentions beyond surface-level issues to make informed political choices. **Lastly and most importantly, why are Russian and Chinese bots creating propaganda regarding American politics in support of Trump? Why are the leaders of nations that are traditionally adverse to the continued prosperity of the West so invested in getting Trump elected?????? That is the most damning and deciding factor for me**

For decades, right wing politicians have been vocal about wanting to replace our secular government with a theocracy. They have been vocal that they do not support women’s rights or anything that isn’t the nuclear family. They have been vocal that there is no place in America for people who do not have “Judeo-Christian values” (even though this is a dog whistle because there is no such thing). They have called for Muslims to be deported. They have been against gender studies and African American studies for years now. In Florida, DeSantis has overtaken a liberal arts university and put into textbooks that slavery was actually a good thing for Africans. They are currently working to replace public schools with tax payer funded religious schools. They are doing it right now in Texas. In Louisiana, they have mandated that the 10 Commandments is in every classroom. They have over turned Roe v Wade and immediately started talking about ending contraception. They have even gone for IVF. They have always been about cutting taxes for the rich and raising them for the working class. They vehemently were against the Affordable Care Act. They were vehemently against gay marriage. They have denied climate change at every step for decades. They have consistently promoted the concept of “small government.” None of this is new or against their platform. Excuse me, what conspiracy? This is just a list of stuff they have been doing for years. Does no one here ever read the news? And I mean the mainstream news. Or is this sub just been brigaded with right wing bots? Do we have this short of memories? Every time this happens people say, “it can’t be.” Obvoiusly they are just being disingenuous and actually support this but know that it’s unpopular. Come out and admit this is what you want and quit hiding behind disbelief.

I’m 10 years old, playing Civilization II. I set my government to “communism” and find that it’s effective. I wonder what’s different in real life that makes tens of millions of people die. I’m 12 years old, reading Animal Farm. I can’t help but notice that things weren’t any worse at the end than when they started, so they at least did the right thing by trying. I’m 13 years old, reading about the Civil Rights Movement in history class. The book says that people accused it of being a communist plot but they didn’t explain why. I’m 14 years old, and my sister is in a bit of a Beatles phase. She explains to me that “Imagine” is basically describing communism, and I have a hard time squaring this with images of jackbooted movie villains. I’m 16 years old, and someone is explaining to me that people with Ché shirts are wearing the image of a murderer. I think to myself that my D&D characters kill too, because that’s just what adventuring heroes do, and they’re still good guys. I’m 17 years old, and I’m reading some random world facts. I notice that countries all seem to show a huge jump in gender equality and literacy when they adopt communism. I wonder how they have time to accomplish this with all the famine and mass execution. I’m 19 years old, watching the German club’s screening of “Goodbye Lenin.” The East German cityscape looks beautiful in a way I’d never seen in the US, but I can’t explain why until it’s scarred by a giant Coca Cola banner. I’m 20 years old, in international relations class learning that it’s illegal to ship PS3s to North Korea, because they could be used as missile guidance computers. It strikes me as odd that an education system that brainwashes people to think their eternal leader was born from a divine rainbow could figure that out. I sure couldn't. I’m 22 years old, breathing a sigh of relief when Barack Obama is confirmed reelected. A nagging feeling remains in the back of my mind as I go to bed in preparation for my minimum wage job tomorrow.

*the consideration of **‘outfit proportions’** is trendy among gen z especially on tiktok. it basically means styling clothes to have a cohesive silhouette on the body(e.g. tight top and baggy bottom to look taller and muscular)* back then, was it considered how clothes, especially skinny jeans, fit relative to other clothes in an outfit? for example, was it looked down upon when you wore a baggy t-shirt with skinny jeans? what clothing choices were influenced by skinny jeans? or was it like, everything worn should be skinny because skinny enhances the natural body shape? were there a 2000’s equivalent of gen z ‘npcs’ vs ‘fashion mfs’. like those who just wanted skinny clothes because it was trendy vs those who considered the fit and look of their outfit as a whole? if outfit proportions were a consideration, then was it the case that people thought skinny jeans looked good combined with other clothes on the silhouette? for example, ppl thought a crop top and skinny jeans(idk if this was actually a thing) provided a more revealing and curvier silhouette that looked nice?

Like the majority of millennials in this sub, I remember a time when my life didn't involve use of the internet. I grew up first playing games like Math Blaster and Treasure Mountain and only using the computer occasionally, without an internet connection. Then in high school I started using various other forum websites like TOTSE etc. until a lot of those shut down or consolidated and then Reddit, TikTok, and Youtube became the de facto websites where many people hang out. Now, I think a lot of us can see, with the explosion of political influence and gamification of sites like Reddit along with the scarily real-life looking AI video and audio infecting both traditional and social media, that it's hard to figure out who or what even to trust online anymore. No amount of media training is going to help people identify what is real in all of this mess. The amount of bots and the amount of accusations of others being bots, which may be greater than the actual amount of bot accounts, is extremely common. Political comments and opinions don't even seem to reflect what everyday rational people think about anymore. Most people I know just want to live their lives quietly, not spout crazy opinions or talk about death, scandals, and how horrible people in the limelight are. I think what we're going to see soon is many people stop using social media sites like Reddit in mass because it just doesn't make sense to be here anymore. I already find myself spending way less time online because I just find things in the real world to be way less clickbaity and cause way less of an emotional rollercoaster. I'm also getting older and that may have an effect. If you can't even trust you're talking to a real person or seeing something real, what is the point of all this? You're better off talking to your awkward neighbor down the street. Even if they can't hold a conversation well, at least they're a real person. I think we're going to see a Great Reconnection with others. I'm really looking forward to that.
