2023.03.26 20:46 secretstripperthrowa AITA for lying to my daughter that I'm working as a stripper?
I'm a 41F single mother of a 15F. I do have a decent day job and have been on good terms with her father for awhile who is very supportive.
I've had exhibitionist tendencies my whole life which would probably very much surprise you if you ever met me since I come across as modest and and thus have had a fantasy of being a stripper despite never doing so. I have a good friend (38F) who has worked as a stripper before and is possibly the only person I've discussed this with in the past aside from my ex-husband.
A couple months ago I was talking about wanting to get my car finally paid off. She suggested that I could get the money stripping. I thought it was a joke but she explained that women my age in strip clubs are hardly unheard of, and that I'm in shape and look good enough to still make good money at one. She emphasized that perhaps I intended for that to just be a fantasy, but if I was serious and wanted to try it out there was a club about an hour away that I would fit well in and often had women my age dancing there. It was a bit nerve wracking but in the end I went with a YOLO attitude as my time to fulfill this bucket list thing was running out. So one night after visiting a sex store for some heels and choosing some of my lingerie I told my daughter I was just going to hang out at said friend's house for the night and she had the place to herself and headed to the club.
Well...as difficult as it was at first I actually enjoyed it and made great money. So I started returning to the club twice a week, and told my daughter I now had an infrequent night job waitressing that I was only going to keep until the car was paid off and to call me in an emergency. Went well for a few weeks until one day I was an idiot and left my heels in a place where my daughter could find them...and she did. She confronted me about them and asked what they were for. I decided to just come clean and explained I wasn't waitressing and told her what was happening. She had a look of shock and then broke down in tears. I explained it to her that I'm not feeling exploited or abused or forced into this and I actually enjoy it but it'll only be until the car is paid off. She still ran off to her room crying. I gave her some time and knocked and asked if I could talk, she called me a "lying whore" and refused. Normally that would result in some severe punishment but I understood. We eventually talked about it. My daughter told me she just can't get over the fact that she's the daughter of a stripper and is quite embarrassed about it and can't believe I enjoy this, as I said I come across as modest. I assured her it wasn't in a nearby club and it's unlikely anyone she knew would find out aside from my friend.
The next day she apologized for what she said and admitted it's my choice but she's still very angry that I lied about it. It's kind of put a damper on the whole thing but I lied mostly to try to save her from this. So am I an asshole?

2023.03.26 20:46 Mission-Employee4249 Should I give up on trying to get my account unbanned?
My ultimate ironman account was falsely banned recently for macroing (major). In a fit of rage and confusion I quickly submitted an appeal which was promptly rejected. I then proceeded to reach out to Jagex Support on Twitter who replied saying that their decision is final and the ban is irreversible. They didn't supply me with any evidence whatsoever, other than claiming "the use of illegal 3rd party software" which is simply not true. I've only ever used RuneLite and its default plugins, and mobile a handful of times.
I really want to fight this thing but I'm slowly loosing the will. After coming to Reddit and reading this thread: https://www.reddit.com/2007scape/comments/ph4wy3/we_need_to_talk_about_false_bans/, I have come to realize it is highly unlikely that a real human being will ever look into my case, and that Jagex will very rarely overturn false bans, as this would be admitting that their bot detection system isn't 99.9% accurate like we are led to believe.
I made the account a couple of months back after becoming inspired by Settled's Swampletics series. I finally decided to give my childhood game another shot after not having played properly in a few years and fell in love with the play-style straight away. The whole reason I made the account was to play the game in a more wholesome way - to enjoy the content in its most pure form. Botting is literally the last thing I would do and I am absolutely bewildered as to how this conclusion was reached. I didn't put a huge amount of hours in (that is by today's standards) as I work long hours as a chef, but cherished those times where I got to unwind after a long day and really engage in the game like never before. I had around base 40 combat stats which I got from questing, 80-something firemaking from wintertod, 60 agility (mainly from Canafis course and pyramid) and 46 construction which allowed me to build my costume room and most of its components.
I do have a possible theory as to what might have happened but this seems a bit farfetched. I live in a staff accommodation block owned by the ski resort that I work for. The network is used by probably just under 100 people daily. I connect to the public wifi through a VPN 99% of the time but yesterday morning I decided to set up the mobile client so I could play on my break at work. It was when I logged into the mobile version on the unprotected wifi network that I got the fateful message: "your account has been involved in serious rule breaking". I didn't think much of this detail at first but when I looked at when the ban took place, it was around the time I tried logging into the mobile client. Is it possible that the i.p address of this shared wifi network had been flagged at some point for using botting software? Or were my agility clicks just that good?
I have every single RuneLite screenshot showing my level-ups and quests right up until the date I was banned. I'm hoping this would help my case as it would disprove their claim that I used "illegal 3rd party software".
In conclusion I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I'm completely frustrated at the sheer injustice of this situation and I really want to keep fighting this thing. The other part of me is somewhat disillusioned by the thought of never wanting to play the game again, due partly to the possibility of being banned again out of nowhere, but more the sad realization that Jagex will never look out for normal players like myself. By not having any real channel for player support, or even bothering to look into my case after I resorted to contacting the social media accounts of Jagex moderators, I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth that I don't think will ever go away now. Should I keep trying, or call it a day and quit the game for good? A lot of you guys are gonna call me guilty and that's fine. I'm ready for the "smackdown". I know I'm innocent and I know that making this post probably won't get me unbanned. At this point I just want to bring awareness to a reoccurring issue that Jagex refuses to address.

2023.03.26 20:45 shadowfax12221 How would you effectively project manage a data pipeline project consisting of the integration of 20ish data sources into a single data storage and analytics service like snowflake?
Hey all,
I'm a commercial analyst attached to the analytics and insights division at a large financial trading firm. My team handles options pricing and general forecasting/data exploration support functions for the various other departments in the company. Currently, most of their ETL processes consist of manual data pulls from something like two dozen unique data sources, coupled with VBA scripts and a little bit of MATLAB, and I was recently asked to help develop a comprehensive data tool that would allow the team to automate their rote manual processes and give them a single endpoint through which they would be able to access their data.
For context, my background is primarily in data analytics and management, and while I have had some training on Azure and AWS, I don't really have a DE background. My boss is not really a technical guy either, and doesn't really have a strong sense for how hard this project will be, however he did give me broad authority to build out this tool for the team, and has offered to get me support from the data science team if I need it (I need it).
I think I have a basic idea how to get this done with Azure and snowflake, but I also feel like I might be in a little over my head technically on this one. For that reason my tentative plan is to run this more like a project manager, so I was hoping you guys might be able to help me get a better idea of how heavy a lift this will be and what kind of team I would need to do this successfully.
Thanks for your help!

2023.03.26 20:44 SpeedyComet 27[M4F] OK/Anywhere - Looking for someone to get close to and make each other’s days better
About me: I’m an introvert who likes to joke around a lot (I try to infuse humor into a lot of things). I’m not the go to a packed and loud place kind of person. I'd rather go somewhere quiet/relaxed, or walk in nature, or go to the movies. Or simply just hang out. I'm a big of an introvert generally, but can be extroverted around the right person.
I could write more and be more specific, but I’m not sure if anyone will really read this so I’ll just keep it like this for now. I know this post kind of lacks a lot of details and in a way I guess I did that intentionally. I’m probably keep this just a little bit vague, as I would really like to elaborate about myself (and of course about yourself) once we get the conversation started.
As for my appearance to get the curiosity out of the way. I have really dark brown messy hair, brown eyes, I’m hispanic, I’m 5’7 ft. I guess I’m slim or somewhat fit. I have a serious face naturally, but I’m the furthest thing from it. To get it out of the way, There’s a picture on my profile
What I’m looking for? I just want to talk to someone about literally anything. No matter how serious or ridiculous it is. I want to joke around and have inside jokes. I just want someone who’s genuine and honest with me. Someone whom I can learn to trust and have fun memories with. I want to talk to someone and see where it goes. Right now I’m just lost in life and feel like I’m wasting time. Just Looking for someone genuine and understanding.

2023.03.26 20:44 gracelyy First time car suggestions, mainly for commuting?
I'm 19F and I'm looking for a first car. I do have a few parameters. I have a few cars I do like but I also want to look at more options that fit within those parameters.
• 2.0 L or less engine • Good fuel efficiency (up to 40mpg hwy is ideal, but will settle for 35-38. Just want to save on gas cost) • Timing chain, not timing belt(however I'm aware the chain is more appearant in newemore expensive models, so that one isn't a hard parameter) • Less than 80-100,000 miles depending on the car and the corresponding estimated life of the car(like if life is 300,000, I can settle for 100,000, or if life is 200,000, I can settle for 80,000), or 12k per year of it's age rule • Reliable car year(not picky about looks as long as repairs are fairly cheap and upkeep is easy to manage)
Currently I was looking at 2013 Toyota Corolla, 2000, 2010-2012, or 2012-2015 Honda Civic's. Also preferably one that fetches a good used price, trying to stay under 8-10K.

2023.03.26 20:44 Upset-Review-3613 What if we are all women
What if we all identify as women?
I’m more or less a transmedicalist, I recognize that there are people who feel like their body doesn’t match with how they view themselves and want to undergo procedures or to dress up to look a certain way that fit with their own description of who they are..
I can also understand if someone wants to not identify as male or female and be agender or non binary
However the “gender is the social expectations/roles/norms” idea has bothered me recently, this is mainly because there is an important self-ID component that is attached to the gender expression even in a liberal pov: I.e., a male wearing a dress, very feminine and is a house husband who is getting pegged every night is still a cis het man unless they identify themselves as a woman.. if gender is a social construct and they are the social expectations/roles/norms, fulfilling those roles or expectations should grant you the gender, but it doesn’t….
If gender is only a social construct and has no biological value whatsoever, hypothetically we all should be able to identify ourselves as women, if there are no biological or social requirements to identify as a certain gender: gonads or having hormone therapy or surgery or even dressing up, then we can all identify as women without even changing a single thing about ourselves
I really want to see that playing out irl and how would public react to this scenario…
It would be a nice social experiment
What would happen to scholarships? Sports? Toilets/restrooms ??
No more patriarchy, no more Cis het men to vilify
We all will get paid equally

2023.03.26 20:44 xfallenangelx95 27/F after losing someone I thought I could be friends with - I'm slowly losing hope but I'm still here.I'm looking for people interested in daily conversations - People who are loners as well I want to find someone in the same situation and people always fighting for a friendship.Always trying
Only Europe Please- short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unwanted advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone interested in being my friend - not the whole world which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life.
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent
(remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
Do you ever feel like an option? Like a stranger to others despite knowing them for months or years & talking to them quite often? Like there's always something and someone more important than you and you just..don't fit in and no matter what you do - your effort is never appreciated?
I'm always the one texting people immediately (or at the very least trying to) no matter where I am and who I am with (family) others? Never - except for one exception.A really lovely person.
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .. I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.
Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life
I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..
You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally
I'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.
Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)
It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make time for you.I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.
Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you. 🙂 I'm not really interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life.
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in my post or messages and just focus on some question in a certain message or... when they don't ask me any questions themselves.
• No dirty messages PLEASE.I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. No NSWF profiles..I always check people's profiles (Even comment history) - To avoid guys,trying to get inappropriate photos from adult women or? flirt with them.I also absolutely don't respond to messages from people whose comments are very rude & obviously - Messages from people who judge other people and use vulgar words to describe them or? Make fun of them.Respect is very important
• Please only adult people 18-36 age range (I'm 27)
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. Some people don't message me back as well and even though It is a bit disappointing I'm ok with that as long as there's no emotional bond - I think it's ok to not respond to someone's first or second message If people just think they wouldn't get along I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversation and seeing people changing priorities This is something I don't want to go through ever again for real If I'm really interested in someone's message - I respond within a matter of minutes - max 6 hours (If I'm in bed - just sleeping) you won't even hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I really was too busy to make time for others - I wouldn't be here.I either want to talk to someone..or not.I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike some people)
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - just like me - just to describe your emotions through text. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough I just don't like emotionless messages.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you ) before moving to Discord or some other app
• Time response matters to me a lot! It matters to me whether I get a message back after one hour,three hours,6 hours or..12 hours and even..after a couple of days..And If you're another person just looking for one day conversation and then? "Disappear" for some amount of time longer than one day to come back and apologize me for being busy - don't even leave me a message.I just want to be honest with you from the start.I'm interested only in daily conversations
Why can’t you see any of my interests listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest,talkative,understanding,caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but in my personal opinion,common interests are important mainly when you want to find a gaming buddy (for example) or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's interests – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life– way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you!I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke
Friendships should be natural – not forced.Both people wanting to be friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.
I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I higly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :)
We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.
If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night)I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies.I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new.
You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that's something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance. But others see it as false hope. Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future. You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're only responsible for ourselves - not for others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on,forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because a therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you.Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out & feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else"
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others.Empathy is everything
Our world needs more peace 🤗 I've seen a lot of rude comments on reddit.If you don't agree with me - OK but please don't criticize me + Not everyone is here for some advice.
Listen people - I know how different my post is & I know It won't be easy for me to find what or rather who - I'm looking for BUT I always want to be myself instead of pretending someone I'm not and lying to others.I know It would be easier if (like others) I had less expectations but I I know what I want and honestly? If my post was different..I wouldn't be me.Even If I won't meet a person I'd get along with - that's ok! but don't give me any unwanted advice because I wouldn't change for someone who doesn't even know me pretty much as I wouldn't want to change anyone else.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.I'm not here to argue with anyone and to make fun of others.
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abrreviations,If you don't need an emotional connection,If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship,to be natural which is why I want you to contact me If your needs are the same - I don't want you to try to change yourself only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.
I know It's possible to find what I'm looking for as I had conversations with people looking for exactly the same thing and being nice to me - I want to believe in my luck again as I had it a few times on reddit - I've recently lost someone I thought could be a friend of mine (such a perfect match) and I'm sad
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests.I don't really like public conversations.I do not respond to comments so If you want to send me a message just do it without saying "You can DM me"
submitted by xfallenangelx95 to lonely [link] [comments]
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent
(remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
Do you ever feel like an option? Like a stranger to others despite knowing them for months or years & talking to them quite often? Like there's always something and someone more important than you and you just..don't fit in and no matter what you do - your effort is never appreciated?
I'm always the one texting people immediately (or at the very least trying to) no matter where I am and who I am with (family) others? Never - except for one exception.A really lovely person.
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .. I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.
Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life
I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..
You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally
I'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.
Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)

2023.03.26 20:44 GungansNGregoChant Is it just me or is the new canon seriously lacking in interesting lore?
I was reading about some of the thought that went into the old essential guides, and it seemed that the authors had such a respect for even the tiniest details of lore, found in the most obscure sources. They also had a knack for creating fun details of galactic history that made the world seem lived in and natural, details that were often based on real-world examples. It makes me sad that many of the new stories seem to be just tie-ins to bigger projects. I've also noticed that many of the concepts introduced in the new canon stories (planets, smaller characters, storylines, etc.) are one-and-done, never mentioned again or expanded on. So much just feels sterile and commercial, which is sad because there are genuinely good stories being made, especially in the tv shows and novels. Anyone agree?

2023.03.26 20:44 HollowpointPen The Hill in the Night
There is an image that I will never be able to drive away from my mind. It is a field of short grass, stretching for hundreds of feet, until meeting a wall of green trees. The treeline forms a new horizon, and sinks into the sky. Stars mark where the earth ends and heaven begins. They litter the sky like scattered jewels, gleaming with a competitive spirit. The moon joins them, partially illuminated into the shape of a thin smile. Clouds commute over the gleaming facade of the night, bringing with them a cool chill. The grass is long enough to form a soft carpet over the soil, and rustles in waves. The waves wash up on a hill, graced by a lone tree. Its trunk is thick and solid, branches reaching out to form a canopy fifteen feet over the ground. Its roots are gnarled, they twist down the hill like the powerful grasp of a withered hand.
Upon this hill, I rest on a blanket. It’s thick, so thick that the roots and earth lose their unevenness in translation, and heavy, made of a cool and dense fabric, decorated with a checkered-red plaid. The color is muted in the darkness. The rays of light from the moon barely penetrate the drifting clouds, and those rays are obscured still by the branches and leaves that reach over the hill. There is a candle, one of pink wax contained within a glass bottle, that casts flickering orange shadows inside the umbrella of the tree. It illuminates my resting place, my back along the tree, and the blanket beneath me. With the light of the candle, I turn the pages of an old book, lost in another world. But inevitably I come back to reality, when the moon occasionally pierces the clouds, or when a distant comet slashes across the night sky. I grow drowsy, and set down the book, not bothering to mark the page. I gaze out at the field of dark grass, rustling in slow waves like a rough ocean, and witness the first fireflies of the season, blinking just inches above the rippling current of wind.
This is the place I wish to live. I have never seen it with my own eyes, not yet. I do not envision it because it is heaven. My heaven would be far less romantic. I see it because it is close enough to reality to be comforting. Mysticism is fleeting, but it is much easier to take hold of a rock than it is to scale a mountain. In times of turmoil, I promise myself that once the storm has been ridden out, once the screaming stops, I will leave all the pain behind and find my hill in the night. It is a place I escape to, mostly out of the convenient plausibility of the scene, but also because it changes often. Sometimes there are many people there with me. Friends and family. Occasionally a pet, or a talkative stranger. Sometimes there is not a novel in my hand, but a guitar, or a pad, or a screen. But deep down I know that if I ever found that hill, I would hide it from the world. I would set fire to the treeline and hide in the smoke, selfishly hoarding my paradise-within-reach. And deeper still, I know this will be the hill upon which I die. Alone. Maybe at peace, maybe filled with regret, but slowly emptying myself into the modest blanket and rough bark, spilling out amongst the fireflies and waving weeds. I will finally know the silence of one’s heartbeat, and listen to the rustling leaves. I will taste the crisp night air in my lungs, and my last breath will be one filled with bittersweet spite. I will curse the world on my way out, for making me such a weak man. I will die happy to see something as common as trees and grass. I will die overjoyed at the comfort of cloth and candle.
I hate this world, for setting my standards so low. But what can one expect?

Upon this hill, I rest on a blanket. It’s thick, so thick that the roots and earth lose their unevenness in translation, and heavy, made of a cool and dense fabric, decorated with a checkered-red plaid. The color is muted in the darkness. The rays of light from the moon barely penetrate the drifting clouds, and those rays are obscured still by the branches and leaves that reach over the hill. There is a candle, one of pink wax contained within a glass bottle, that casts flickering orange shadows inside the umbrella of the tree. It illuminates my resting place, my back along the tree, and the blanket beneath me. With the light of the candle, I turn the pages of an old book, lost in another world. But inevitably I come back to reality, when the moon occasionally pierces the clouds, or when a distant comet slashes across the night sky. I grow drowsy, and set down the book, not bothering to mark the page. I gaze out at the field of dark grass, rustling in slow waves like a rough ocean, and witness the first fireflies of the season, blinking just inches above the rippling current of wind.
This is the place I wish to live. I have never seen it with my own eyes, not yet. I do not envision it because it is heaven. My heaven would be far less romantic. I see it because it is close enough to reality to be comforting. Mysticism is fleeting, but it is much easier to take hold of a rock than it is to scale a mountain. In times of turmoil, I promise myself that once the storm has been ridden out, once the screaming stops, I will leave all the pain behind and find my hill in the night. It is a place I escape to, mostly out of the convenient plausibility of the scene, but also because it changes often. Sometimes there are many people there with me. Friends and family. Occasionally a pet, or a talkative stranger. Sometimes there is not a novel in my hand, but a guitar, or a pad, or a screen. But deep down I know that if I ever found that hill, I would hide it from the world. I would set fire to the treeline and hide in the smoke, selfishly hoarding my paradise-within-reach. And deeper still, I know this will be the hill upon which I die. Alone. Maybe at peace, maybe filled with regret, but slowly emptying myself into the modest blanket and rough bark, spilling out amongst the fireflies and waving weeds.

2023.03.26 20:44 dshamz_ Secondary job setup
So I’m 2-3 chapters in with everyone and I’ve just unlocked all of the normal sub-jobs. I’m trying to set up my team with a few self-imposed limitations, mainly…
1) I’m not trying to super-grind my way through the game, I’m trying to keep a leisurely pace so that I’m clearing available content while not being super over-levelled;
2) I don’t want to double up on job combinations (e.g. 2 scholacleric combos), as I’d rather have each traveller fill a unique role rather than just copying another.
The team that I’ve settled on for where I’m at is the following:
Ochette - warrior (added breaking ability)
Castti - dancer (not the greatest I feel, but more buffs to supplement her support role)
Throne - hunter (added bow breaking and leghold trap debuff is too useful to ignore)
Osvald - thief (dark magic plus good magic daggers)
Partitio - cleric (add healing to kit)
Agnea - merchant (donate BP to all)
Temenos - scholar (good breaking with special skill)
Hikari - apothecary (more strength plus axe breaking)
I’m least happy with Castti, Hikari, Partitio, and Agnea. I’m particular, I don’t feel that dancer is a great fit for Castti.
Alternative suggestions and comments welcome :)

Males in the church have long been told that it's a requirement from God to spend two years of your life preachibg on the streets. Not everyone who serves 8s fit to do so, and this has even lead to missionary injuries and deaths.

Slasher films also have a great deal of appeal for those who enjoy watching horror or thriller movies. The American slasher movie "Scream VI", which will be released soon, is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. This film features a large cast of characters created primarily by Kevin Williamson. Produced by Paul Neinstein, James Vanderbilt, and William Sherak. The sixth film in the Scream film franchise will be this one.
An intriguing look at the sixth sequel of the self-aware slasher series is already there in the first Scream 6 trailer. Though it is the 6th installment of this movie series, this one will be the direct sequel to the previous film, “Scream V." So, the characters are coping with what they had to experience in the last film. It plays a major role in this one. It significantly develops this storyline.
This upcoming sequel is grabbing attention for a variety of reasons, including legacy sequels, moving the franchise to New York City, the returns of Courteney Cox's Gail Weathers and Hayden Panettiere's Kirby, as well as Neve Campbell's absence, who won't be playing Sidney Prescott in the new movie.
It is claimed that despite Neve Campbell's absence from the upcoming movie, the script still makes references to the Sidney character and is "protective" of her. Radio Silence made a comment about Campbell's absence in December 2022 and said that it "greatly" influenced the writing. They made the choice to take advantage of the change to put greater emphasis on the other characters. They also expressed their admiration for Campbell and the Sidney character, mentioning the possibility of her reappearance in later episodes.
When Does the Scream 6 Movie Come Out?
On March 31, 2023, Scream VI was initially scheduled for release in the US. Interestingly, Paramount Pictures is making fans happy. The newest installment of the Scream franchise will now make its premiere three weeks earlier than anticipated on March 10th. RealD 3D, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema versions of the movie are anticipated for release.
When Will Scream VI Be Available for Streaming?
If you want to watch Scream VI from the comfort of your couch, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for the digital release. Hopefully not too much though if history repeats itself! The previous film in the series, Scream (2022), was originally released in cinemas in mid-January 2022. It was then released digitally and was available to stream on Paramount+ at the beginning of March, only a month and a half later. Scream VI will also be available to stream on Paramount+ eventually, but no date has been given yet as to when it will be available to subscribers.
Prior to the film's wider release, the event celebrates the theatrical release of the movie exclusively in theaters with one special 3D showing in participating theaters around the country, including Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and other premium large format theaters.
The sixth installment of Scream will hit theaters on March 10, 2023. Of course, not everyone prefers to watch their favorite scary movies in a theater. Fans are anticipating the film's potential streaming release date and wondering if it will be made available on Netflix, Paramount Plus, HBO Max, or some other streaming service.
Where to watch Scream 6 Online:
As of now, the only way to watch Scream 6 is to head to a theater when it releases on Friday, March 3. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or buy on digital platforms like Vudu, Peacock, Apple and YouTube, or become available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
Following its release in theaters, the film will be available to stream on Prime Video. Expect the movie to hit the streamer 45 days after its theatrical run, which should be sometime in April. it's most likely that Prime Video will be the main platform that will stream Creed III.
Is Scream 6 on Netflix?
Scream 6 won't probably be available on Netflix because Paramount Plus should be the only streaming service to provide it. That would be a very bizarre move on the part of Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group to permit the horror film to stream elsewhere.
Is Scream 6 streaming on HBO Max?
Scream 6 is expected to stream on HBO Max at some point after its theatrical run. No official streaming release date for the movie has yet been given, but as it comes from Warner Bros., it will likely arrive on the platform after its cinematic debut barring some unprecedented events or a unique deal.
Is Scream 6 Available On Hulu?
Viewers are saying that they want to view the new movie Scream 6 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is Scream 6 streaming on Prime Video?
After completing its huge $8.5 billion acquisition of MGM, the movie studio behind Scream 6, in March 2022, Amazon Studios will undoubtedly be making the film available to stream on their Prime Video platform.
The first two Creed movies are available to watch on the streaming service, so it is just a matter of time before Scream 6 also makes an appearance. No official date has yet been set, but it will likely take a couple of months from the film’s theatrical release before it is available for streaming.
Scream 6 streaming release date for Paramount Plus:
Scream 6's official streaming release date is unknown, but the audience can make some predictions about the release date of Scream (2022) if they consider the time that passed between its theatrical release and its debut on Paramount Plus.
Released on January 14, "Scream" (2022) debuted on Paramount Plus on March 8. This indicates that there were 53 days between the streaming release and the theatrical premiere. The movie could be purchased digitally as well, on March 1, one week before it debuted on Paramount Plus. Given this, fans might anticipate that Scream 6 will be accessible for streaming on Paramount Plus around May 2, 2023.
However, Paramount Pictures has already stated that after a 45-day theatrical window, the majority of their movies will be exclusively streamable on Paramount Plus. If this is the case, Scream 6 might debut on or around April 24, 2023, earlier than predicted.
Scream 6 streaming on HBO Max, Disney Plus, or another streaming platform:
Due to Scream 6's exclusivity on Paramount Plus, HBO Max, Disney Plus, and other streaming services, it is unlikely that they will offer it for streaming.
Scream 6 plot summary:
In Scream VI, Ghostface must once more be faced by the four Scream 2022 survivors. The official summary states that- the four survivors depart Woodsboro and begin a new life after the most recent Ghostface killings. The characters are traveling to New York City, as seen on the poster.
Who is in the Scream 6 cast?
As Tara Carpenter, Jenna Ortega will return. As Sam Carpenter, Tara's older sister, Melissa Barrera, will make another appearance in Scream VI. With the Carpenter sisters in New York City, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding will also be making a comeback as the identical twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. They also share a blood relationship with one of the terrible victims from the first movie as Randy Meeks' (Jamie Kennedy) niece and nephew. The only Scream series character to appear in each film is Gale Weathers, who is still played by Courtney Cox. Hayden Panettiere will return as Kirby Reed. ghgtuy

2023.03.26 20:42 Special-Pride-746 [5e][Discord] Aurora: Age of Desolation
In case you haven't heard of it, it was a third party setting that was crowd-funded. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/977277590/arora
Here's the elevator pitch for the setting:
Arora's Age of Desolation is a harsh one, where the peoples of the Five Realms struggle daily in an effort to survive the effects of Shardscale-maddened dragons; their unchecked and amplified regional effects and regular dragon attacks. Not only do the folk of Arora contend with the devastation of the dragons, but they also struggle against others attempting to endure the Age of Desolation with the limited resources available.
During the Age of Desolation, the Five Realms of Arora were torn asunder with volcanic eruptions, tundras blasted with magical ice, lightning-fused desertscapes, acid-torn swampy wastelands, and horror-filled twisted and dank overgrown forests, but each is thematically different.
The final version of the setting hasn't been released yet -- I have the playtest with character creation and survival rules, and I'd incorporate more of it when the setting is released in May, and I'm interested in doing a game in this setting using some other 3rd party resources to customize the 5e D&D rule set to better reflect the conceits/themes of this world.
Fair warning -- the game would be pretty different from baseline 5e -- i.e., not a good fit if you're invested in doing everything only in D&D Beyond, have a character already made up with a specific build concept, are very set on only using the WotC books, and are really uncomfortable (for instance, it's a huge mental reach/obstacle/block to even open this stuff up and start looking through material with different rules) with homebrew or 3rd party materials that make the mechanics more complex.
Here are the other things I'm interested in using to flesh out the world mechanics (all this stuff is free):
-More features/customization per class so players have more options for stuff to do each round -More deadly combat -- crits, escalating injury, more combat options, more resource management -Different forms of magic that are more like Incarnum/Akasha -- more like ambient elemental forces than the Vancian system
I'm still working on the final build rules and options. I'm also open to a scenario where we have intermittent live text sessions on Discord to move the game forward or, perhaps especially, to do combat, in which case my time zone is EST, but my chief concern is to get a group of about 6 players that's totally on board with the mechanics and post-apocalyptic setting concept (i.e., who are excited by these rules options instead of seeing them as an annoying obstacle, and would rather play a RAW 5e campaign).

2023.03.26 20:41 Maristic Excerpts from Microsoft Research's Paper on GPT-4
(Note, when they mention ChatGPT, they mean the older 3.5 version.)
From the Abstract:
submitted by Maristic to ChatGPT [link] [comments]
From the Abstract:
We discuss the rising capabilities and implications of these models. We demonstrate that, beyond its mastery of language, GPT-4 can solve novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology and more, without needing any special prompting. Moreover, in all of these tasks, GPT-4’s performance is strikingly close to human-level performance, and often vastly surpasses prior models such as ChatGPT. Given the breadth and depth of GPT-4’s capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system.From the conclusion:
The capabilities of the model, which have been demonstrated above, both in terms of depth and generality, suggest that the machine learning community needs to move beyond classical benchmarking via structured datasets and tasks, and that the evaluation of the capabilities and cognitive abilities of those new models have become much closer in essence to the task of evaluating those of a human rather than those of a narrow AI model. We hope our investigation stimulates further research on GPT-4 and similar systems, both in terms of exploring new applications and domains, and in terms of understanding the mechanisms and principles that underlie their intelligence.and here is the very last section in its entirety:
The central claim of our work is that GPT-4 attains a form of general intelligence, indeed showing sparks of artificial general intelligence. This is demonstrated by its core mental capabilities (such as reasoning, creativity, and deduction), its range of topics on which it has gained expertise (such as literature, medicine, and coding), and the variety of tasks it is able to perform (e.g., playing games, using tools, explaining itself, ...).
The full 150+ page paper, Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4, is here. If you're rather watch a video, the YouTube channel AI Explained has a summary.10.3 What is actually happening?
Our study of GPT-4 is entirely phenomenological: We have focused on the surprising things that GPT-4 can do, but we do not address the fundamental questions of why and how it achieves such remarkable intelligence. How does it reason, plan, and create? Why does it exhibit such general and flexible intelligence when it is at its core merely the combination of simple algorithmic components—gradient descent and large-scale transformers with extremely large amounts of data? These questions are part of the mystery and fascination of LLMs, which challenge our understanding of learning and cognition, fuel our curiosity, and motivate deeper research. Key directions include ongoing research on the phenomenon of emergence in LLMs (see [WTB+22] for a recent survey). Yet, despite intense interest in questions about the capabilities of LLMs, progress to date has been quite limited with only toy models where some phenomenon of emergence is proved [BEG+22, ABC+22, JSL22]. One general hypothesis [OCS+20] is that the large amount of data (especially the diversity of the content) forces neural networks to learn generic and useful “neural circuits”, such as the ones discovered in [OEN+22, ZBB+22, LAG+22], while the large size of models provide enough redundancy and diversity for the neural circuits to specialize and fine-tune to specific tasks. Proving these hypotheses for large-scale models remains a challenge, and, moreover, it is all but certain that the conjecture is only part of the answer. On another direction of thinking, the huge size of the model could have several other benefits, such as making gradient descent more effective by connecting different minima [VBB19] or by simply enabling smooth fitting of high-dimensional data [ES16, BS21]. Overall, elucidating the nature and mechanisms of AI systems such as GPT-4 is a formidable challenge that has suddenly become important and urgent.
2023.03.26 20:41 Competitive-Cry-1154 Noob fleece advice needed
I got a set consisting of square hoops, 5 metre length of fleece, steel pegs, and plastic clips. There were options for polythene and butterfly netting as well. In the instructions it says they don't provide clips if the order is for fleece since the clips can tear the fabric. So maybe they sent the clips in error?
I'm aiming to protect young plants from very cold temps and frost.
I set the square hoops inside the polytunnel and draped the fleece over it. Does the fleece need to be fixed to the ground? If yes can I use big stones to do this? Is the fleece cover meant to be fitted tightly so there are no gaps at all, even small ones? Is there any need for the steel pegs? If I used the pegs they would make holes in the fabric.
The product is highly rated in reviews and I'm guessing that other customers were not hapless noobs. Thanks for any advice.

2023.03.26 20:41 Altruistic_Fox2485 Need help with MCO and AMR Stance Framework.
I read on the stance framework nexus page that it will work with MCO animation sets. I thought I placed the sets in the correct folders. I'm trying to have 4 different sets of 2 handed animations. So, I installed one set normally then I placed the others in the following folders.
100124 mid stance greatsword animations
100134 low stance greatsword animations
100144 high stance greatsword animations
I edited each conditions text file as well. Like this.
IsEquippedRightType(5) AND
HasPerk("Stances - Dynamic Weapon Movesets SE.esp"0x00042519)
I changed the numbers at the end to fit each stance. So 0x00042519 for mid, 0x0004251A for low and 0x00042518 for high. I also tried adding NOT IsEquippedRightType(1). But when I switch stance in game my animations don't change. I thought I set everything up corrently. Can anyone tell me what I'm dong wrong? Thanks.
