I'm on the pre med track and have managed to maintain a 4.0, but I'm not sure sure I even like this path anymore. I always thought I liked genetics as an alternative, but don't care for it now that I'm in the class, and being involved in research has shown me that I don't want to lab work research in any way. Ya know, sometimes I question everything and don't even know if I like science at all!

I haven't done art in almost 1 year and used to do it almost every week, it makes me sad.

After college I want to explore the world and truly live outside this bubble of work a holic tendencies I've perfectly fine tuned. Yes, I absolutely adore helping others, but I've come to realize that I need to put my happiness first sometimes.

I definitely need to have a creative aspect in my future career, and really love organizing planning things, teaching others, and detailed work. Keeping the science side would be nice, too.

So I have a 5 month aussie he is so great at so many things. Housetrained. Self settles for naps on the floor. Recall is pretty good. Knows lots of commands. Has some doggy friends he loves to play with. Sleeps in the crate thru the night. Etc. I feel I ve done great with him thus far and when he graduated from 8 week puppy school they told me the same and I felt so proud for us. The issue when he was young(er) I introduced him to an adult dog as his first dog interaction. This adult dog is friendly, plays nice, trained, but I didn t realize in the beginning that he is pretty dominant. He would play with my pup gently but also would take toys away from my pup if there was a toy or stick around. Not aggressively but would take what my pup had and prance away. My pup didn t seem to mind much and there were always dozens of toys to choose from. But now that he is nearing 5 months I notice he is resource guarding toys from certain dogs. He does it with the neighborhood dogs who did it to him as a pup. And he s done it with a couple other random dogs at pup school. To be clear he never outright attacks, but gives warning and is clearly trying to say back off this is mine! However he doesn t do this with all dogs. For example he has a doggy friend and they play with toys often together but he doesn t act that way with her. It s difficult for me to tell whom he feels threatened by. I m so scared and upset that he learned this behavior because of the first dog he met. He learned his stuff would be taken from him and it s my fault cuz I introduced him to that dog. He learned to be dominant cuz of that dog. I feel like a horrible dog mom. He never does this with food which is interesting. He will happily sit and practice impulse control and patience if I am feeding treats to him and another dog taking turns. He also never resource guards towards me or other humans. Not food nor toys. Just other dogs and only some dogs. I don t know how to work on this with him because I don t really have another dog around to work on it. And it s very unpredictable. I have dozens of ideas on how to counter condition but since there isn t a second dog in my house I don t know how to go about teaching him that when another dog tries to take his toy or does take it, it s not so bad. He s not an aggressive dog. He s very very sweet. I know he is just operating on instinct too so I feel bad for him. I don t even know if it s something to be concerned about cuz he is growing and asserting his boundaries and maybe that s good for him? But I certainly don t want him to think any aggression is ok. Idk I feel bad is all I have to say. I don t know what to do."} {"_id": 5, "text": "Socialization, what did you miss?

We re currently thinking of keeping her in the kitchen and taking turns working from the kitchen table and our office so that in the case of an accident it s on tile floors rather than carpet. Plus she s currently used to her a routine of 1 hour up 2 down and goes to the toilet every half hour which helps. But she s not used to having to play by herself.

This is only her third week taking walks, but during her first week she became extremely frightened by a trash truck that slammed down a dumpster. Ever since then, we've tried training her with desensitization to loud sounds in the apartment and counterconditioning (treats in the space she associates with the trash truck our apartment hallway and stairs), but it seems like anytime a trash truck is around, she forgets everything she learned. Do puppies grow out of these fear responses over time? Is this a phase? Previously, she seemed very unbothered by outdoor sounds. We live in a city so dealing with urban noise is pretty unavoidable. Has anyone else gone through this? Have any pointers? We spoke to a couple trainers who advised not \"coddling\" the fear response (aka pushing through it and not giving her pets or saying things like \"it's ok\"), but it's difficult when she literally runs and pulls in the other direction whenever she hears a trash truck.

There are so many posts, blogs, helpful tips on the internet on how to raise a puppy but there s a lack of true, down and dirty information especially about raising a puppy alone without a yard. It s been so difficult. It feels like my days go in cycles of heavy anxiety in the mornings, decent while he s spending the day napping, good when he s being sweet, then miserable at bedtime. Things I ve learned from my pup in the past month he will guard his droppings. doesn t like it when i go to pick it up. even if it s under the bed at 3 am. he absolutely despises paper towels baby wipes any cloth (when cleaning up pee or anything on the floor) just because he was okay sleeping in the crate for the first two weeks doesn t mean he s okay with it now and has been refusing he spent 3 weeks peeing on pee pads to realize he would rather rip them up (even with tons of toys available). now he s peeing on the floor if i m unable to catch him in time. he s like an angsty teen even as a baby. sometimes he needs to be put for a nap even if he just got up. we need to be broadcasting this more! puppies cannot go on real walks until their vaccinations vet approves. this means if you are in an apartment with no access to a yard, spending their energy will be HARD. he is consistently overtired, underworked and needs more of an outlet. I do believe it ll get better. I know i ve been incredibly hard on myself through this all. It s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you haven t slept a full night in over a month. I know the biting will stop and the walks we ll start to go on will help. But for now, I just want other people to know, this is so much harder than you could ever expect.

I praise her for going outside, but she's normally too distracted by the wonderful outside to take a treat or even really notice I'm praising her. I just want to live in a clean house. What else can I do? The reason she isn't crated is because she reacted very badly at first and I gave up when I realised how much easier it was to persuade her to sleep and spend time alone if she had her own room.

Maybe she s never brought her dog to the park before but she was a helicopter parent and there all of 5 minutes. She brought her dog in and of course all the other kiddos got excited by seeing someone new come in and all ran up to greet him (or her). He might ve been a little overwhelmed but was playing it cool but we all grabbed our dogs to cool off for a second. I ll admit my pup is a barker. It s all fun and I think that s how she initiates play, or she s a herding dog and she s just trying to herd everyone together I m not sure. It doesn t sound scary but maybe a little annoying. All the other dog parents are cool with it. She grabbed her dog and put him back on the leash to walk him around the grassy area of the park (it s an all fenced in, off leash park). She eventually let him back off the leash and my dog and another dog ran over to go play. Again my dog is a yapper but in my opinion it isn t that big of a deal. Now, my dog went in for a play bite. I was watching from afar but could see clearly. There was nothing aggressive, it was one of those bites where they just open their mouth and kinda plant it on each other if that makes sense? The other dogs play rough all the time. Now when my dog went in to initiate play the lady screamed at my dog and said NOO!!! And yanked her dog away. That s where I got slightly irritated because she yelled at my dog. I then went over to grab my dog, I didn t rush over because it was clear to me there was no issue aside from lady freaking out. I think me walking over there made her angrier. My dog barked a couple more times and I said sorry she can be loud and she very sternly said well she was about to bite my dog. So I said oh I m sorry, I think she was just trying to play with him. She didn t mean any harm . She didn t say another word but leashed her dog back up and left. I held my dog til she left. And the owner of the other dog also held hers until she left because neither of us wanted the pups to chase after them as they left. Do I have a right to be angry or am I actually the the jerk in this scenario to allow my dog to go play and initiate a play bite?

That being said I d like to talk about the current state of Catholic youth group life young adult life. I go to a large, upper scale parish in the suburbs. It has great priests and ( from what I am told) a young adult life that is far more humming than many Catholic Churches. First, I d like to know why Catholic youth isn t humming more or less constantly in most Catholic Churches. Second, the most people we ever get at Social gatherings is 35, perhaps 40 people. More often then not it s about 12 15 instead. At this time I am part of a small group scripture study of... 6 other young men. From Reddit and elsewhere I ve gotten the sense that aside from traditionalist parishes, Catholic young adult life can be anemic at best. Contrast that with Evangelical young adult life. It often draws young people in the hundreds consistently. There is a large evangelical church in my town and has been very popular for as long as I ve been sentient, and especially heard about it when I went to Public school. It draws young adults, single, married aspiring to mariage etc and has forever. Its not a prospetiy church, and from the limited exposure ive had to it, the pastors and people seemed to have great integrity and truly be interested in living a Christian life. Contrast this with my situation. The Catholic Churxh i attend is large but its young adult events font have many people, and a number are from other parishes. A number of people in my group are sort of social \" stragglers\". They are new in town, have sort of awkward limited social skills but know quite a bit about Church doctrine and events affecting Catholicism. Basically, one of the few places they'd find social acceptance affirmation is in a Catholic young adults group. There is nothing in the least wrong with them, but clearly they reached out to thr Church to meet a social need. i see fewer people who are doing great in life, professionally and socially connected heavily involved in Catholic life.

I know for almost 2000 years the doctrine has always seemed to be, \"few are saved, many are damned\". From Jesus Christ, to Augustine, to Jerome, to other clerics down the age, that doctrine has always been echoed. In spite of the saints and thinkers differing in age, gender, social class,nationality, clerical or lay state, the same sentiment has always been echoed \"many are lost, few are saved.\" I know the general consensus now seems to be \"most people except Hitler are saved\" \"people can be saved in any religion they desire\" or \"dare we hope all are saved and Hell exists and is empty?\" It appears this line of thought has only existed in large communites since 1965 or so. On one hand I'm relieved to learn this is the truth, and that for 2000 years the great thinkers of the Church have been wrong. I also think its possible that those saints and doctors were too rigorous or maybe unimganitive, not appreciating even flawed and sinful people are actually seeking the truth and even finding it. I also think the \"few\" over the past 2000 years includes likely hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. But based on what Ive seen of history and what I see now, it cant possibly be everyone or nearly everyone who is saved. Who is right? What should one think?

Feel free to correct and inform me, I'm a young cradle cath but reverted a few months back. I faintly remember the OT and its stories though. I made a good friend here on Reddit after I asked a rather stupid question here in this sub D and he sent me some vids and some links about some of my doubts about the Old Testament and Christianity in general and even sent some books, it increased my faith more, to be honest, but I still have some doubts mostly about Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Goliath, etc. Do you guys have any sources on topics like this? like both secular or non secular would be best. When I got a big history of the church book from him a month ago, I realized that I do kinda dwell a bit on heresies of the early church, the biggest one is Gnosticism of course which kinda rocked my worldview and caused a bit of crisis of faiths.

I'm not sure if I should even call it Gnosticism cuz I don't agree with a lot of the things they say and I kinda smell the heresy already but when I read the book I think it kinda meant not really believing that much in the OT? because the god in the NT is way nicer, which kinda explains my troubles xD Don't get me wrong, I know Jesus wasn't a full on hippie, he went full on berserk at that time where they turned the worship place into a market.

I'm in a prayer group with some very lovely, devout protestant Christians. They are evangelical, Bible first, Bible alone Christians. When I told them that I was becoming catholic, they were a little worried at first but then they eventually supported me. Something came up today at our prayer meeting, and they told me that the Catholic Church imposes too many man made rules that are unbiblical. One, they don't see how confirmation is biblical. They also don't understand why communion is closed in the catholic church, and they don't understand the sacrament of confession. I tried explaining confession through John 20 21 22 and even cited that some lutherans and anglicans practice the sacrament of confession. I also told them that ancient Christians from the 2nd century practiced the sacrament of confession as well. They ignored me lol. As for why communion is closed, I tried to explain that the Eucharist is really Jesus Christ' body and blood. Then they said ok, yes we believe that too. And I said, no it's not a symbol, it is really Jesus' body and blood. Then they said, ok that makes sense. But why can't non catholics receive it? So I cited 1 Corinthians 11 26 29 to explain that we need to receive communion in a worthy manner, and thus you need to go to confession to be in a worthy manner. Then they ignored everything I said, and told me that the Catholic Church imposes too many rules and you should just focus on your relationship with Christ, and ensure that all teachings we learn come from the Bible. They also compared the Catholic Church to Pharisees. They think that I came to the catholic faith without really examining all the teachings, and it's very frustrating because I studied the faith very diligently!

In a Mayan Aztec styled game, I think it'd be pretty badass to see monsters themed off of the different gods, an elder dragon based on Quetzalcoatl, or a jaguar like fanged beast based on the story of how one of the gods turned into a jaguar to destroy the world. The starting locale could definitely be mix of places like the Ruined Pinnacle, Jurassic Frontier, and the Flooded Forest. If I recall correctly, there was a story from some central american mythology that involved two mountains, so maybe we could see a pair of monsters like some of the ones in Frontier that never leave each others side. An Egyptian style game could also be really cool, starting in a desert area like how FU had us starting in the snowy area. I'd love to see a desert monkey based on Thoth, or a jackal dragon hybrid using the Kushala skeleton to represent Anubis. Kulu could fit right in as well, digging up canopic jars and similar things.

Should Stay Palamutes Putting aside the fact that they re big cute dogs, the sheer mobility these buddies offer you is practically unheard of in MH games. I honestly don t think I could ever return to slogging around areas on foot, and replaying old games will be much more mentally taxing as a result. Silkbugs amp Silkbind Attacks The speed and general flow of combat in Rise is superior to every other MH game by a significant degree, and it s entirely thanks to the silkbug system. They re so flashy, so powerful, and so fun to use that I m not at all bothered by how unbalanced some of our new moves are. Switch Skills This is an excellent concept that should be taken even further. There are so many moves for every weapon that could be (and often should be) ignored, and now we finally have a method to replace some of those duds with fantastic new attacks. I d love to see this expanded upon into full alternate playstyles for various weapons (Ex. Choosing, through moveset options, to have a fully grounded or aerial Insect Glaive, or a Longsword that focuses on quickdraws and counters over all else.) Streamlined Tracking Paintballs got old and scout flies were an eyesore. At a certain point, Capcom decided that the best way to streamline tracking was to remove it altogether, and I m fine with that. Clear Capture Notifications Having a palico call out the moment a monster is capturable removes the bumbling nature of capture quests from previous games. I see no reason to ever go back. No Maintenance Items Challenge in MH is best when it s fun, and needing to use hot cold drinks every few minutes isn t fun. The less busywork, the better. Clear Progression No more guesswork about which quests are essential for progression? Cool. Goss Harag Not a feature, my ass. He s this game s Odogaron, and should be a staple of the series moving forward. amp x200B Should Go Rampages Capcom still hasn t found a way to make large scale siege quests fun, and rampage is arguably the worst they ve ever been. Including a prominent tower defense mode in a game like this is already a tough sell, but locking endgame monsters to that mode is a mind boggling choice. They re always either slow and boring or frustrating and chaotic, and I d have liked the game more if they didn t exist.

Does Samsung help fix this for free as I still have 2 months of warranty left? Any of y'all been through this?"} {"_id": 8, "text": "Samsung customer service is...lacking unreal. Last month my S20FE put itself into a continuous reboot cycle, and Samsung had me send it back to them. After a week in their possession, they claimed to have fixed it by wiping the phone and putting the most current version of the OS and security updates. Welp, today the phone up and does the EXACT SAME thing. Now, instead of writing it off as a bad phone and replacing it they want me to send it back again for them to look at which is completely unacceptable. I told that to a supervisor who advised me the only other option would be to go to a link he provided me for the \"Service to Sales\" program, where I could basically upgrade my phone and trade this one in. However, the link he provided is no different than what I would find if I browsed to it myself, and there is no reference I can find to a \"Service to Sales\" program (so Ive been lied to once). Further, I would not be able to do a trade in for the value of the phone because it does not boot up to the home screen (so Ive been lied to twice). Called back into the customer support line for assistance where they told me they that Im basically screwed and either have to send the phone back in for repair or buy a new phone and I may or may not get any trade in value for my current phone. For the life of me I cannot understand why the largest electronics manufacturer in the world would play hardball on replacing a 600 phone with a known defect, that is less than a year into the warranty instead of just replacing the phone and moving on???!!? Its not like Im trying to get something out of them, I dont want to upgrade, I dont want something for nothing and Im perfectly happy just getting a replacement (although at this point Im not sure Id trust a replacement but thats beside the point). Does anyone have any tips on what I should do to get this resolved? Being without a phone (you know, the device they push you to have pretty much your entire life on these days) for a week is just not going to fly. EDIT Just got home from the local Verizion store, who within 10 minutes had a warranty replacement phone ordered and set up for next day shipping so I can get it ASAP. ATTN Samsung, that is what is called customer service. See a problem, recognize what the correct solution is and f'ing DO IT.

I moved to Canada last year in August from Australia, in which I owned a property which was my principal place of residence. I have rented it out now as I'm living in Canada permanently. This is my first tax return in Canada ever. I paid for help through TurboTax but they aren't really helping me understand what I'm confused about. Consider the following values 1. 12,000 income from freelance, no tax paid to CRA, I expect a tax bill I must pay to settle this tax. This was to a foreign company and hence I didn't charge them HST. 2. 30,000 from a company in Canada, whom I'm employed to. They have a T4 slip for me but I haven't received it yet. 3. 15,000 income from my property in Australia, less 3k interest 7k depreciation 2k advertising fees, rental commission, utility bills, etc. My confusion is with regards to point 3. It is my understanding I must declare this income to the CRA. However, I have NOT paid tax on it yet as Australia's tax year ends in July. This means I have not claimed my deductibles yet either. So what do I do? Do I have to pay the tax on the full 15k in Canada? Or can I claim the tax deductions listed above? Or do I just report it and not pay anything? I'm really confused especially with if I have to pay the tax here, I understand I would get tax credits for my Australian tax return, but what about my tax deductions?

Quickly after settling into their new home, the Marlinists came under attack from pirates, terrorists, and hostile factions. The provisional Marlinist government reached out Li Yong Rui and Sirius Corp. for help. It was agreed that until such time as the Colonies could sufficiently defend themselves Sirius affiliates, Omega Merchant Command and Sirius Special Forces, would work with the colonists in a joint security effort. They have diligently defended Hyades Sector AB M b8 2 and Hyades Sector VP N b7 4 respectively ever since. The formation of the Dark Wolf Marlinists and their adoption as the foreign policy branch of the Marlinist Colonies has paved the way for the return of peacekeeping and defense responsibilities to the Marlinists. In anticipation of that transition, elections for a new House of Patrons were held in both systems with the Liberated Mazahuanese Marlinist League winning a majority of seats in Hyades Sector AB M b8 2 and the Marlinist Society of Nahuatl claiming a narrow victory in Hyades Sector VP N b7 4.

I prefer to use rifles or assault rifles with a Shotgun as secondary as the technician spec. I recalibrate for skill damage on my gear set pieces and use a well rolled overlord armaments mask for some weapon damage. I have no idea what exotics would compliment my playstyle. Which is normally drone and seekers at skill tier 6. So does anyone have any exotic recommendations? Or high skill dps builds i can farm for? Is using high end manufacturer set more dps that a gear set? The only exotic I know I would use is the kneepads as I quite enjoy the EMP pulse. with the knee pads will it kill suicide bombing outcasts? I have the holster from the project. I have the world on challenging but km considering bumping it up as most of my stats are on par high drops. Are the weekly projects for exotic caches worth it? So far it seemed like a lot of resources for duplicate drops of guns i don't use. I've never been in the dark zone on d2 but lived their in d1. Is there any good LFG groups etc?

We haven t met in person yet, because of the pandemic. We have been calling, video calling, and texting frequently. She s really sweet. However, there are a few issues I m having She wants to communicate a lot. It can get very exhausting. Sometimes, I genuinely just don t want to talk to her. She is someone that needs a lot of attention, reassurance, and communication. Nothing wrong with that at all it just feels like too much for someone like me. We end up having long phone calls, where she doesn t want to hang up. I m flattered, but it gets tiring sometimes. I feel bad saying all this, but I like having my own space alone time. She s aware I m like this. Still, I fear in the long run, an avoidant distant person like me won t be able to meet her needs. She is the one that pursued me more (makes sense given my personality). And she has expressed strong feelings for me. I like her too. I just don t know if I feel it as strongly as she does. This doesn t really have anything to do with this sub, but we have had different levels of caution regarding covid. She has seen more friends and people than I have. She hasn t done anything really irresponsible. She s not an anti masker or anything. However, it s just that I have been more strict than she has. So, it kind of makes me uncomfortable, because I wish she was a little more cautious. These three items have been bugging me a lot. I do like her and care for her. At the same time, I m really tempted to bail on the relationship. I think I tend to nitpick on certain things when I get close to people, and that makes me want to distance myself from them.

On that account alone, one might extrapolate that SSRIs might be useful as an adjunct therapy to stimulants in ADHD even in the absence of depression and or anxiety (and we all know how often depression and or anxiety accompany ADHD).

I pretty much forget to eat the whole day and then when my meds wear off 6 7pm I crash HARD. All my suppressed hunger hits me in the face like a brick and I become weak and shakey and just overall feel terrible. I was telling my dad how I kept crashing from not eating during the day, and he recommended I start drinking Ensures. He said he used to drink them when he wrestled in college, since they were low in calories but high in nutrients. He thought it might be easier to drink an Ensure than trying to force down an entire meal. I thought it was worth a shot, so I bought a pack of High Protein Ensures. Wow do they make a world of difference. These little shakes are only 120 160 calories, but they have 16g of protein and 30 23 vitamins minerals in each bottle. They re super quick and easy to drink, and definitely helps prevent a crash at the end of the day. As a bonus it also helps to keep me hydrated since it s a liquid. They re a little pricey (I think it s 35 for a pack of 12), but I believe it s well worth it. I m not suggesting to only drink Ensures, but if you struggle to eat like I do, it might help to drink 1 2 of these throughout the day.

Also, I happen to drink Ensures but I m sure any nutrition shake would be just as effective."} {"_id": 19, "text": "My automatic suicidal amp self flagellating thoughts are gone on meds I honestly didn t realise how loud they were, blaring in my head all day.

It annoys me but at the same time it has saved me so many times my parents are my calendar that reminds me of everything. I took my very first college classes through dual enrollment last semester and I actually did well. Most of the test weren t timed and the teacher was unlike most others and constantly reminded us of due dates. This semester, I m taking similar courses as far as difficultly goes so they are just the normal basic college classes. The problem is, I have a lot more going on this semester and since I did well last semester, I got comfortable. I stopped over planning and started forgetting.

And during that I found a number of disturbing articles saying messed up things about people with ADHD. They painted us like animals who can't control themselves, are an inconvenience for others, and need to be coddled like children especially with marriage. Allow me to give you direct quotes from these articles, I haven't altered these in any way. \"It's a fact a person with ADD is hard to love. You never know what to say.\" \"It's something you try to avoid.\" \"People with ADD ADHD are suffering.\" \"Yes, ADD ADHD people are hard to love but once you understand the burden they are carrying, your heart will open up. Love and compassion will take the place of anger. You will see their sweet and good soul.\" (So ADHD covers up our 'sweet and good soul? Guess this all makes us terrible people guys ) \"At times, you feel like your spouse is someone you need to corral, organize, and direct like a child rather than a partner\" \"Learn about 'the ADHD affect.' There are predicable patterns that ADHD symptoms encourage in your relationship. To know them is to be able to fight them!\" (Guess we all gotta fight our ADHD guys time to get the boxing gloves, also never once have I ever heard of \"the ADHD affect\") \"Start thinking about positive ADHD 'mirror traits.' Instead of thinking 'disorganized' think 'spontaneous.' Instead of 'distracted' think creative.' you get the idea!\" (I am Spontaneously creative with not doing my chores I'm so wonderful guys! ) \"A person with ADHD can be hard to live with.\" \"Someone with ADHD is impulsive. If you are the rational thinker in the relationship, your ADHD loved one is depending on you to be wise and patient.\" (Automatically assumes the person without adhd is the wise one ) \"Feeling that your loved one is hard to love, or that you don't like their behavior is a sad feeling to experience\" \"It's not your fault. You're doing the best that you can. You're in a tough situation and you aren't always sure which is the best way to handle it. Be gentle with yourself.\" \"Add and adhd can take over your home environment subliminally controlling everything and everyone in it\" \"Adhd relationships can suck the joy out of life\" (guess adhd only makes people unhappy and unlovable and makes everyone miserable) \"At times his behavior was totally baffling.\" \"I had no idea how to survive in this new world\" (This article this woman was talking about her husband or boyfriend who has ADHD) One article claimed we had no empathy, and that we need to be taught to show empathy and that ADHD has traits similar to \"narcissism\". This articles were mostly written by spouses or views from the spouses angle. They don't understand ADHD, and is full of complaining and word choice like \"dealing with\" and \"putting up\" with \"ADHD behavior.\" Now some have good intentions and don't bad mouth us the entire article but word choice like that makes us sound like animals, people without control, people who can't think for themselves. It's disgusting and that wasn't even all the articles I found, it had me and my autistic friend who also has ADD raving. It's articles like these that make my blood boil. TLDR Articles are stupid and paint us like animals that need to be dealt with. Edit I understand that having a disorder doesn't make life EASY to live with. But writing stuff like that is terrible to say to a human being. It's degrading, and gives people the wrong impression of what ADHD really is."} {"_id": 19, "text": "Anybody NOT struggle with making friends as a little kid?

I m constantly amazed that just now people s eyes are being opened to this. Some are young, so that s understandable. Some just have never gotten involved in what runs our lives government and Wall Street. And yes, they re both one in the same.

Thanks for any recommendations!"} {"_id": 23, "text": "Simple (trashy) romance novel but with believable attraction and emotionally mature characters Sometimes I just crave a little \"noble woman meets hunky viking highlander pirate and they fall in love\" in my life. However, most stories will have the man act like an absolute psychopath or petulant child, meanwhile the woman is thoroughly annoyed or even afraid but she keeps thinking about how hot the guy is. I don't know about you guys, but I have never been attracted by someone while they were being a complete dick and or creep. I don't even mind if the man really is an asshole in the beginning, I can even get over a kidnapping plot, but at least have the woman just think \"oh yeah he's clearly pretty attractive but that behaviour ruins everything\" and then stay unattracted until they get to know each other better and he changes a bit! And I really would love some build up of attraction even if it's just a chapter or 3, immediately getting hot and bothered when someone first shows up is just not it for me. As an example of a story done somewhat to my taste, I did enjoy Outlander at first, it showed a woman who had some agency and a man who you could believe she'd like. However I got thoroughly annoyed by the constant focus on flogging and torture, so I never got past the first book. At one point it seemed like the couple could not have a single conversation without it coming up in some way or another (I should have you flogged, you flogged me, I was flogged as a child, I was tortured in prison) and while I'm can handle violence in my stories it started feeling a bit like flogging was fetishized too much. And I'm not opposed to some BDSM in stories, but this clearly wasn't BDSM flogging.

However, our Minecraft Faction server is nearly 10 years old (check Planet Minecraft listing date for proof) Back in 2011 we started up a server, a Minecraft server, a Minecraft Factions server that was meant to be a safe space for many players, experienced players, new players, raiders and builders! We had a great community, if you would like to see some of it, we suggest you YouTube search for \"united factions server\" However our server died a few years later due to personal circumstances of the admins. But now we are back online! Introduction Our Staff amp Team Let me introduce ourselves we are SupaYoshi and SirMario1. We are Minecraft players from the first hour, and early Minecraft server adopters. SupaYoshi is a system administrator and Linux engineer, and SirMario1 is an experienced Minecraft Server admin. We have had some great help from experienced Minecraft builders designing our spawn, buildings and so much more. You can find more about our build team on the website, www.unitedfactions.net staff Why you should at least check our server out? Ever since I first started this in 2011, till today I get a warm feeling of satisfaction inside of seeing people enjoy the community and helping people have a great time! One of the limitations is that a lot of servers nowadays are pay to win with factions or offer perks that allow for un raidable bases taking the gameplay away from what it was intended for defending raiding strategy! Our server wants to offer a server that is free from that and have a great community. All builds are custom by our team, credits go to them for being so talented just checking that out is worth a little tour already. Over 500 hours have gone into rebuilding this server already. We have some streamers hopping on and off the channel, we stream ourselves! You might be featured in the stream! We are looking for members to help us with different tasks, check out the sign at spawn or the website for more information! Cross platform between Bedrock Edition and Java Edition!

I've got one credit card that has about 15K balance on it, the rest I pay off monthly. Over the years I've played the game of balance transfer, usually with no fee and 0 introductory offer. Once I transfer the balance I have mostly left the old cards open, so I have a number of cards, let's say 5 with over 10,000 limit but little to no balance. Now my 0 is up and I'm noticing that when I try to apply to more cards I'm getting very low balance offers. Whereas I used to open cards and get offered at least 8 10k balance offers....today I applied to one and was offered a 600 balance. If I close these high limit cards I'm not using, or lower the limit, should that make a big difference? I've heard in the past that credit issuers view high limits as negative, even if you don't carry a balance, because they fear you could go out the next day and max out all your cards and not be able to pay them back.

Earlier this month I got a message in discord from a user that joined my roblox group discord, she said that she loved the way my roblox avatar looked and that she wanted to use it in a render GFX and needed my consent to proceed, I thought it was a bit weird but I told her it was fine with me, then after a bit of chatting she sent me a screenshot of blender with my character model loaded and then asked me if I could send her my avatars texture template, this was very suspicious since I have made renders in the past and you don't need the player that owns the avatar to send you his textures since you can just import them in studio, so I asked her how to do that and she sent me a website that I opened in Incognito mode, the website told you to bookmark it and then drag it to your roblox profile to get your avatar texture, this was a red flag since I know scammers can ask you to do sketchy stuff like this to run javascript code to then get your roblox .ROBLOSECURITY cookie and access your account, I decided to see what would happen if I sent her my avatar texture that I got from using the roblox studio method, so then I sent her a zip file with a .obj of my char and the avatar texture a blender file with my char with all of the textures working and ready to use, she thanked me and then after 5 minutes she responded and said it wasn't working (I understand if the texture didn't work but clearly she didn't even try opening the blender file since I have experience with blender and made sure everything was working) after she sent me that she also sent me a youtube video that told you to put some javascript code in roblox to get the textures, after that I just sent her the .png i had gotten from roblox studio and told her that's the texture I got when I followed the video (obviously I didn't do what the video said) and then she just stopped replying. Fast forward to today and another user that joined my discord messaged me and said the exact same thing about wanting to use my avatar in a render, I played along until she sent me the exact same youtube video and then I decided to confront her about the scam but she kept saying it wasn't a scam but she did end up admitting that the video did steal the roblox security cookie and vaguely telling me her intentions, and from what I could understand her plan was that after I did the javascript thing from the video she would actually make me the render to gain my trust (while my robux items were being stolen) and then when I sent a support ticket to roblox and used my once in a lifetime rollback token (from what I understand stolen items get duplicated and sent back to account as if nothing ever happened) she would ask me if she could do another render with my avatar and repeat the process and steal the newly recovered items once again to get double the profit.

It's not for every headset tho. I wonder if you have the same problem, what headset you found without this issue. Now I am using a Logitech G430, before that I had a Logitech G35, and they are all fine, I don't hear the blood pumping. I've tried Hyperx Cloud 2 (wife has it), and it's not good, also tried Steelseries Arctis 3 (super comfortable) and it's also not good. Unfortunately the G430 doesn't have much time remaining, and by default I would buy a G432 for replacement, as the same design, highest chance to being good, but I am not entirely happy with it the G430 has some design material flaws, and the G432 coming with the textilleather earcushions which begin to peel off after a few years. (once I've tried to order replacement for the G430, and I got some from a few years old stock, which began to peel off right away...) I would buy wired one, because unfortunately I can also hear the basic hissing in the wireless headphones I am using for PC gaming. Nothing serious. World of Warcraft and discord. I don't have budget limit, but it's risky to invest a lot into a headset which might be not good.

Megathread Discussion The theory that aliens wouldn't even waste their time with us because we are like ants to them is ridiculous. Even if they were infinitely more intelligent than us they would still recognize that we are concious creatures and at least study us. I mean even humans study ants. I think the more accurate comparison between us and them would be like chimps and humans on earth. Even gods can take interest in humans. Sure they might not contact us for other reasons but it wouldn't be because \"we are like dirt to them\" 1. Maybe the universe is rather large, and it's not a question of whether they wouldn't be interested in studying lower life forms, but that there are far too many other things to do. Maybe they are so advanced that contacting other civilizations on their own level is more what it's about sort of like a Star Trek sort of scenario, where there is a level of \"do not interfere,\" but also \"there's way too much other shit going on for any of us to spend any recognizable amount of time with many of these planets, especially the less evolved ones, anyway\" Sort of like a combo of \"even just the sight of us would change their history forever\" with \"theres a fucking billion planets just like this, so far away that we only barely drove past randomly on the most far away expeditions\" 2. Which would be that they already know almost everything there is to know. In other words, maybe they are SO advanced that we are more like single celled organisms to them. That seems rediculous, but if it's possible it would warrant leaving us alone. While as humans we still study things that are that simple, we (assumedly) know most of what there is to know...so the studies are probably relegated to their interactions with foreign objects or areas, or just observing where they live. If the \"aliens\" are on the level of creating and destroying entire planets of diverse ecosystems with nothing but thought or easily accessible science, the likelihood of them needing to \"study\" a race that doesn't have manifestation powers of that level might be somewhat pedantic. Maybe they check in once every couple thousand years? You know? Maybe they could simulate everything they'd ever need to know about us in a computer program and get all the information of a thousand of our possibilities in a quarter of a second. I could see them not stopping by if that were the case. \"I mean they could probably study us from afar and never even come here. Who knows maybe they can even interfere with a human's brain from where ever they want. What stops them from creating a human clone biothrall and sending them to earth to gather information. The clone could be complete unaware of it and they could be sending back information unknowingly to the aloen species. The clone could be of someone real who died with no wtinesses and they brought them back to life so they get their information and do a \"good\" deed or maybe it is just recycling depending on how advanced they are. The possibilities are endless, but without them coming out and making global apperance or actual effort to interfere with human lives there is nothing we can really do but speculate. If they are visiting us they aren't really doing anything blatant enough to effect us to our general knowledge.\" Counter \"People that think we are nothing but ants for aliens are anything but \"preteens\". If any alien advanced civilization exists they should have such a deep comprehension of the law of physics and the Universe to be able to break some limits we cannot even dream of conceiving. They should have transcended the status of simple physical beings a long time ago. It is you that is drowned in your illusions and your vanity. Humankind is nothing on the Universe scale. To think we would even present any interest to such advanced beings is actually a kiddish behaviour.\""} {"_id": 38, "text": "We are the Whos, living on a snowflake, in a snow storm, in a snow globe.

What kind of Alien are you? I m new here and I highly doubt there is much originality about my musings on the subject but here is where I am today I ve read, we are the universe reflecting upon itself. That may be partly true, I would suggest we are part of the universes expression, reflecting upon as much as that expression permits. We are the cuffs to the sleeve, the pocket to the jacket, in a whole assembly line of clothes, ranges and brands. What does your cat think about the internet? What is a penguins stance on global warming? Surely, it is the definition of ego to think you have reached the apogee of awareness, rationality, understanding. The scientist has incredible knowledge of his theories and his mathematics, he is emotionally invested and programmed to see his body of work verified and credited the boundaries will be pushed, but within the compound of his laws. I read somewhere on here that there is a science fiction story that premises that we have missed something extremely simple asyy in our understanding. Maybe so, maybe the next phase of human evolution is not about individual ego and accolade. Our understandings, however practical, however laced in logic and evidence are still a human interpretation of the expression of the universe. What if, instead of our resources, we are a form of expression that interests other worlds and they watch our evolution closely. They see us as a part of the recipe? A symptom? A clue? A fabric of a wider consciousness? Could we be observed to see if we reach this path of collective consciousness? Maybe then we re ready, ready to be a part of the puzzle. The aliens do not have all the answers either, they re on their roadmap to discovery too. Overall, I think human beings are incredibly special, our expression of consciousness is probably fairly unique. Empathy, Conscience, Compassion. Perhaps we are the Van Gogh, to an extremely organised paint by numbers painting that exists, or somewhere in between? Either or, it would be an expression of our egoistic self grandiosity to rule out anything what kind of alien are you?"} {"_id": 38, "text": "Aliens are here just to observe, PEACEFULLY.

SETI, having failed to notice the presence of off worlder fleets, is clearly a huge waste of US tax payer dollars if indeed we are being visited. The very idea behind it is na ve by searching the stars for artificial signals resembling the ones we ourselves have been constantly sending out, we can locate civilizations whose technology might be millions of years more advanced than our own. As for NASA, they have succeeded in convincing the public through \"exciting\" press conferences that space is boring . Given the choice of whether to send a satellite or a manned mission to the Moon, they consistently choose the off hands approach. And their astronauts, despite possessing great skill and talent, can hardly be said to be living in space, as even at furthest they are always simply in a high altitude controlled descent. I don't think it would come as to big a surprise to learn that the real and heavily funded efforts to reach the stars have been undertaken via black budget projects, and that NASA has for the past few decades served only as a public relations enterprise. And especially if Israeli's former minister of space security was not lying when he said that American scientists and off worlders are already working together on Mars, then clearly the best astronauts have not been the ones we see on the news.

This is the first time in human history the Moon is being revealed to you in its Full Natural Color. On the matter concerning whether or not we went to the Moon, we landed there without a doubt.

The suppressing of the evidence that there may have been civilizations existing on the Moon, or even more incredible, the possibility they are still there brings into question why we have been kept in the dark.

I just got into kayaking a couple of weeks ago (bought two kayaks for my wife and I, along with some good paddles, life vests, you know, the whole nine yards) and have been pretty great so far! We're enjoying it very much, and having something like that to do outdoors here in the US during these COVID times is great! I'm finding that my technique isn't the best in the world but hey, you learn as you go. This is about loading unloading the kayak, however. So far both times I went it was with the wife, so loading unloading wasn't a problem. But I can see the in the future I might want to go by myself if she's busy, and I'm not a particularly tall guy, so at 5'6\", loading a kayak into a J style carrier by myself is a bit of a challenge. I attempted to simply lift it over my head and load, and was pretty difficult.

It is an AeroBlade bar system (ARB47), which seems to now be obsolete. I have a new car now, and I am going on holiday in a few weeks and would love to take along my kayak and bicycle. I figured I would research the appropriate fit kit and purchase that, attach to my Aeroblade bars, and ride off into the sunset. However, after spending some time researching and ending up somewhat unsure, I phoned Thule and they confirmed that I would have to purchase an entire new system for my vehicle, which is a Chevy Malibu (2017). And I can't really justify that expense. I gave up on the idea of having a roof rack altogether, but this afternoon while putzing around I got the old racks, adjusted them outwards as far as I could (my new car is wider than the previous), and made some minor adjustments and was surprised to see that I could clamp them onto my roof just fine with the fit kit that I have, even though it is not the proper style. I ensured the feet are spaced evenly and are tight to the roof. The clamps are screwed into the feet and tightened to the frame just like I had done with my old car. I checked and double checked and pushed and pulled, and all seems to be very rigid, tight, and it is difficult to imagine how much better the appropriate system would be. Not looking for reassurances, though they are appreciated. Does anyone have any insights or horror stories, concerning deviations from the Thule recommended clamps for a given vehicle? It does seem that many of these clamps have only minor differences. But maybe there is something I am missing.

We have narrowed down the list to 3 models from BMW the X1, the X2, and the 2 Series Gran Coupe, all three of them being fitted with the 2.0 190 hp Diesel engine. Her main concern is to have something with interior space, while still offering a \"compact\" format. It appears that the Xs and the Gran Coupe pretty much have the same headroom at the front, the Xs advantage being that you have an higher sight of the road.

It's the first time on this sub, so I hope the formatting etc is okay! I read this book in my early teens (about 14 15 years ago), and it was one of the best thrillers I had read. It was a borrowed book from a public library. The post below contains some spoilers, so if you're interested in reading the book, please be warned! Plot points I remember The story starts off with Josie starting training at a zoo or a nature reserve or somewhere where she works with animals. Constant flashbacks to her relationship with a character called Alex in her childhood. Alex is sort of a mean bully. At some point Alex gets a younger sibling (possibly step sibling?) and gets jealous of the attention the younger child gets and attempts to kill the baby. I can't remember if the attempt was successful. Alex gets sent to child prison. SPOILER gt !Alex is short for Alexandra, and is actually Josie herself. Throughout the book we are misled by the gender traits, and appearance differences between Alex and Josie (like eye and hair color). So this twist really drops like a bomb. Her name is changed to protect her identity, i.e. don't judge the adult by the mistakes of the child or something to that effect.! lt Things I think I remember, but could be completely wrong Title maybe started with \"You\" The front cover shows the torso person wearing a plain white t shirt.

I just got the Astro A40 TR with the Mixamp, and so far I am really enjoying it. However, there is one thing that keeps bothering me, not too much but it does keep me up at night. The Dolby Audio that comes with the mixamp is in my opinion really good, but what ends up making it a lot worse is the little metallic sound, especially with voices (I want to point out, if I had not found out about this metallic sound on the internet, I probably would not have noticed. But now that I did notice it, I cannot stop hearing it). Because of that, I searched for solutions, and ended up finding Dolby Atmos. When I tried it, I was disappointed. What was promised was something that would emulate a 3d space really well. Watching the demos on youtube, I was really impressed. However, when playing games, it was a completely different experience. The main issue, which was the metallic sound, was gone, but the thing is that in my opinion it does a really bad job of simulating a 3D environment compared to the built in Dolby Audio. Also, it just sounded like stereo but better and especially louder. I came here because I wanted some opinions. Am I the only one that thinks this way? Am I wrong for thinking this way?
