Where else am I able to farm high stat armor if for example the current dungeon doesn't have a Master version? And do all dungeons drop high stat armor or just specific ones like Pit of Heresy, Grasp, etc.? The armors in war table focusing are ass.

Played through the Arthur section and into the epilogue now. Bought the farm, trying to do all of the things I didn’t know existed with Arthur, keep getting jumped by Skinner gang. Tried to fight them alone, but got killed. I need dynamite to walk into the woods and wipe out that entire gang all at once. I don’t like them being that close to Beecher’s Hope while I’m out accomplishing tasks. I see dynamite listed at the Fences menu, but it’s gray for me, so I can’t buy it. Help me wipe out those darned Skinner boys. Appreciate the help.

I have a 2011 yamaha grizzly 700 that needs new tires. Stock rears are 25x10x12, and 2in narrower in the front. I'm looking hard at the sunf 26x11x12 set on amazon. I don't do much trail riding, but mostly snow plowing, ice fishing and "hobby farming" type of stuff. I think bighorns look great, but I don't need $1000 worth of tire for what I'm doing just to burn them up hauling firewood. I feel like the sunf's will be fine for my use, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone else has a better thought.

I've done some basic research of taking nootropics supplements in order to improve the cognitive function but Im not sure on what main ingredients I need to look for. I know L-theanime, Choline are quite important but what else is?
Image is an example of supplement I'm looking at to buy

I'm planning to run 6 inch net cups filled with hydroton in aeroponics but I'm hesitant whether or not this will work. Do the roots need to be completely exposed? I just feel like my misters will only wet the outer hydroton pellets and as a result my roots will not grow out as they wont get water in the center of the hydroton and my plant will die. Any advice on this? Will my misters keep the hydrton wet enough or reach the roots? What size net pots do you guys use?

Hi!
I’m Dylan, a 21 year old man from northeastern Illinois in the US.
Anyone around my age or older such as in their 30s or 40s or older is welcome to send me a chat if you are interested.
I’m seeking some kind of close connection with friendship being the main thing, however, I’m definitely open to things getting a bit spicier than that.
Physically I'm 6ft tall, I'm average/slim build with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. I wear glasses too. There’s a picture or two on my profile.
I don’t have any preference on body type for whom I find attractive. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I’m also attracted to people older than me as well, hence being so open to meeting people.
I’m currently living at home, trying to get a job at a warehouse but long term career goals so far is to do something in the electrical field/trades such as a fire alarm systems technician as I’m good with technical things like that. I’ve got older parents and I live on a main road in a small farm house so I’ve been feeling pretty lonely most of my life. I’ve listed some interests of mine below!
Now that we've established who I am and what I'm looking for, here are a few interests of mine to get to know me better!
• Fall/Autumn season
• Candles and Incense
• Music
I love genres such as classic rock, alternative rock, psychedelic rock, gothic rock, heavy metal, punk, post punk, hardcore, etc. My current favorite bands are The Cure and Joy Division/New Order. But I like tons of older and newer bands as well.
• Cooking and Baking
• Animals
• Art
• Houseplants
• Photography
That’s me! I hope you get a good taste of what I am like and if any of this catches your interest I’d love to hear from you and we can get to know each other further. Thanks for taking the time to read my post, hope to hear from you soon.

When I received my first batch of medium grind Kava a few weeks ago I got the impression that you either do a traidional method or you do a blendor method of preparing Kava. In my head that meant you either knead and beat up a bag of Kava or you blend and then squeeze the Kava.
I made a post a few days ago where one of you people suggested that I should still massage the kava bag after I've blended it and that has totally changed the game. After I blend and pretty much proceed with the traditional method it feels like I'm extracting 90% if not all of the kavalactones in the root. I make the comparison with drinking the whole root which I did for the first few days until I puked my guts out. Before puking though the effects were pretty strong - naturally whatever kavalactones were available in that amount of root got to work. Using the same amount of Kava and doing just blender and squeezing I would get really bad results.
When I combine the methods though the effects are the same. So for any other noobies that might find it useful here's what I do (I feel the need to mention this because despite all the reading I didn't really understand this part until one of you pointed it out) 1) I blend 5 tbsp of Kava with about 300ml (10oz) of hot (50C - 120F) water for 3-5 minutes. 2) I pour the blend into the bag (or a stocking sock in my case) which is placed in a large bowl. 3) I proceed to beat, and massage, and squeeze the bag for a few minuted until the liquid looks opaque and rich. 4) I pour the extracted Kava in another container and I do it again, except this time I skip the blender and I just pour the (200ml) hot water into the bowl with the Kava bag and I proceed to beat it again. 5) I do the 4th step a few times and I try not to puke while I'm ingesting the liquid.
So essentially a mix of both methods seems to work much better than just blending on it's own. I'd like to hear what some of you more seasoned folks think about this. Maybe I could do something better, or I'm fucking something up. Regardless, it seems to be very efficient judging off of the intensity.

Women are a punishment for men.
The strangest strings of words ever said to me over a long-distance call by my very old chauvinistic grandfather from the East. He called me on a whim because he had premonition dreams of me, a woman, becoming something horrendous. What was he afraid of me becoming? I still don't know. Hopefully a monster in his mind.
My grandfather was a drunk that often got himself into fights that landed him in prison temporarily and a massive abuser to my grandmother who he robbed from. Since she was his wife, he could take the money as he wished and drink his care away as his kids starved. There was no contraception for women in the east for a very long time, no sexual awareness, and little punishment for marital rape. Which is why my grandmother had five kids by herself in the middle of a vast rainforest with no hospital care. He was one of the very few men her age in a village among an estimated 120. It was an arranged marriage, the method in which the majority of history traded women off like cattle with no will of their own. Not hypergamy. How could such a man hate his wife so much? The wife that worked 18-hour days under a hot sun with feet swimming in the muddy waters of a rice field to provide for 5 kids by herself. She raised all 5 by herself while he was in prison. She got all of them married to better-behaved men with jobs. That was only 70 years ago. And he still hates her so much after all these years as he rots away in a cell of his own making. He didn't go to prison for beating my grandmother, he went to jail because he punched a high priest at a temple. Apparently, that lands you in jail for a lot longer than beating your own wife.
That call was my first encounter with my grandfather and my last.
When people say I want to return to "traditionalism" or I want to return to when men were men and women were women. What time is that? During the first conception of the nuclear family in 1925?
In 1925 Stalin was General Secretary of the state and in the midst of purging his rivals and oppressors. During that same era Benito Mussolini was pulling off a coup d’etat in which he ended Italian democracy in favor of a personal dictatorship. In China The Republic of China Military Academy was created in order to fight off numerous fiefdoms ruled by regional warlords. Exactly what during the 1920's was the "tradition" in which men want to return to?
Almost always, it's the traditional male-over-female structure in which men have all the power. Though some would like fascism to come back which would make a solid second to this.
The "cold hard truth that no one will tell you" that men keep spouting is almost always to promote a culture of Maschismo. What has always been should always be; this deep-rooted belief in the idea that a man's responsibility is to provide for, protect, and defend his family. The natural fallacy at play. However, these strict confines are the very things that destroy them. What happens when a man cannot live up to these strict expectations of a man? He must show his dominance in other ways. We see it in the news all the time; a husband jailed for beating his wife, father murders wife and kids before killing himself, and my personal favourite, a boyfriend kills her girlfriend out of love. There's always so much sympathy for these "family men". There's always so much "love" involved in taking a shotgun and aiming it at the heads of your wife and children.
"If I had a woman, I would never do that" - said every "nice" guy ever.
Why is there so much deeply ingrained hatred in men for women? It's been written deep into every culture around the world throughout history that women are subservient to men.

Men belonged to higher social classes, most women throughout history have been enslaved by men. Until recent times, women throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia were unable to have any influence over the politics, religion or culture. They couldn’t own property or inherit land and wealth, and they were frequently treated as mere property themselves. In some countries they could be confiscated by money lenders or tax collectors to help settle debts; in ancient Assyria, the punishment for rape was the handing over of the rapist’s wife to the husband of his victim, to use as he desired. Most gruesomely of all, some cultures practiced what anthropologists have called ritual widow murder (or ritual widow suicide) when women would be killed (or kill themselves) shortly after the deaths of their husbands. This was common throughout India and China until the twentieth century, and there are still occasional cases nowadays.
Even in the so-called enlightened society of ancient Greece — where the concept of democracy supposedly originated — women had no property or political rights and were forbidden to leave their homes after dark. Similarly, in ancient Rome, women unable to take part in social events (except as employed "escort girls"), and they were only allowed to leave their homes with their husband or a male relative. - Psych

Patriarchy is a social system in which positions of dominance and privilege are primarily held by men. It is used, both as a technical anthropological term for families or clans controlled by the father or eldest male or group of males and in feminist theory where it is used to describe broad social structures in which men dominate over women and children...and other men in a ranking system that conveniently puts the rich at the top.
Men commonly respond to this system by turning themselves into resource machines that women would be a fool to leave (alpha chad). Or rejecting women altogether because they cannot provide that which the system says a man ought to.
Women commonly respond to this system by over-appealing to the feminine gender norm in order to be seen as one of the "good women". Or rejecting it altogether in order to pave a different way of life.
The entire manosphere came out of a dichotomous hatred for women but a great sexual desire to obtain them. Because how does a boy navigate the world if the idea of a "man" now has no direct path? How does a boy navigate a world that tells him to cultivate himself into an individual rather than a gender role? It is much easier to follow the doctrines of traditional masculinity than to actually assess what kind of person you are and figure out what kind of person would best fit with who you are inside. Then they have the gall to cite Marcus Aurelius or Aristotle as the peak of the male ideal when these men were the culmination of years of philosophical and individual growth. They are the peak of individual cultivation, a state of enlightenment beyond the male ideal.
This stronghold of traditional masculinity is written in every religion, in every culture, in every ethnicity around the world. It gives men power to dismiss bad behaviors as them just being men, extend charity to the heinous crimes of men, and center the news on their problems; there are more sexless men today than ever.
Than ever? In comparison to what time period? We have no data of how much people had sex throughout history. Who is to say once a year is too little and once a month is too much? There is no such comparison to be made because we don't have data that extends that far.
The "cold hard truth that no one will tell you" that men spit out online that "men and women are different" are in fact ideas as old as time. "No one will tell you" this fact because everyone already knows it. They live it every day. It's baked into our history books where only men were allowed in the public sphere of work and politics and only men were written down as conquerors and winners. And if they were to extend the writing of that history book to women, they would belong to a hierarchy in which a woman could usurp them. It would hurt so much to be beneath a lowly woman only fit for breeding.
There are individual men that love women; their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.
They are not the majority.
At the deliverance of divorce papers or breaking down of expectations around sex, a "good man" will take to a gun or fists to assert that such things should not and will not happen to them. They deserve a woman. They deserve sex. They deserve paternity.
Are these the "traditional roles" that men want to go back to? A place in which a woman can be put in her place by a fist?
When women were women, they lived horrible lives to take care of children because there was no contraception and they were confined to the home and field work nearby. When men were men, they were sent to the mines where all they did was work.
The rich benefit from keeping everyone else in these positions to stabilize society as they live completely opposite lives. The "traditional life" was a product of middle-class abundance. And it only benefits those that already have. Not those that live in poverty.
As we go into the future and traditional masculinity becomes but a vestigial tail, I hope too that traditional feminity becomes but a shadow of its former self. There will be no need for either. Anyone can play the roles that they wish. Housekeeping will not be a woman's job and money-making will not be a man's job.
If women are a punishment for men, as my grandfather would say, and the world would be better off without them. Then everywhere around the world should be full of blood, war, famine, and fire. As men like Putin, Mussolini, and Hitler would have wanted. In the absence of women, the most power-hungry men would be the ones luring other men with their worldly wiles.

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I really need some advice on this.
My friend has been depressed and other major mental illness (dissociation, etc.). She was never properly diagnosed, but I've always been there for her for a few years.
I know there is only a little a bystander could do. I never wished to fix her, but I just want her to have a choice when she's struggling. I want her to know I'll be available when she needs help, so suicide or self-harm doesn't have to be the only choices. Though she doesn't want to burden anyone, she accepted it at first, and she also comes to me often for vents.
The problem is, sometimes it's just hard to separate comforting and "fixing". There are a lot of times where she struggled to be helped bcs of her distorted mindsets, so I had to keep "correcting" her. She doesn't think her feelings/opinions matter, she doesn't think she deserves anything, she doesn't want to burden others with her troubles, she doesn't think she's allowed live her own life so she solely lives for others (family, friends, teachers, etc.). Because of all these negative thoughts, I had to tell her otherwise. I wanted to let her know she matters, so I tried to let her feel comfortable to just be herself. But then there would be times where I feel like I overstepped. I truly want to validate her feelings, but what if the feelings are self-destructive? What if she insists to let it all go, and decided she's not gonna live for herself anymore? To comfort her I had to keep correcting her, but what if its not the right thing to do in the first place.
Recently she came to me about a problem. This problem has been existed for so long and usually I just sides with her and listened to her. This time I probably should've been supportive as usual, but instead I got ahead of myself and tried to be involved in the problem. I did ask her if she would like to hear my opinion in advanced, but I should've know she's a pushover and would say yes to anything. Things didn't end well, but at that time I really thought it was the right thing to do. I can always listen to her and comfort her as she sinks into a pit. But I just wanted to give her a pull, an actual help that might change the horrible situation she's going through. Should I have just let her know I'm willing to help if she's comfortable with it, even knowing she would never choose to be helped bcs of her deeply-rooted negative thoughts? Is there nothing I could do except being there for her while she self-destruct? Where's the line between helping and overstepping?
P.S. She is already going to therapy. She doesn't feel good about it and wants to quit the therapy.
She's also very isolated. She has a toxic family and no other friends to reach out to. I'm the only one she feels more comfortable with, but even still she's often reluctant to burden me.
Thank you for reading all this. I really need some input on this.

Male and 27. I don’t smoke or drink.
I’m about a month and a half in after wisdom teeth removal. I had all 4 removed and top and bottom right were impacted. Recovery went well with only slight discomforts and I followed all the dentist’s instructions. About a few weeks after my wisdom teeth were removed, I could hear a popping noise on my right jaw if I opened my mouth too wide. I noticed from opening my mouth to check and irrigated the holes. It’s still popping now. What is the popping noise and should I be concerned?
After a month in the bottom right hole, where an impacted tooth use to be, I started getting cold sensitivities and could feel very slight pains around the jaw area. When it started I would get rare neck pains on the right but the neck pain is gone now. Are these concerns or part of the recovery process?
Also after a month, I could feel discomfort feeling on the tooth I got a root canal on a bottom left molar. Is this a concern also?

I was wondering, if you could get synonyms from the same word, if it has very different forms in certain grammatical forms.
For example I am currently trying to make a naturalistic language family and in the process of going from a agglutinative to a fusion language I had heavy vowel reduction and assimilation and now a root that used to be pronounced /ʕtsodz/ "nut" is now in its basic form pronounced /θoð/ but in other forms /e:ð/ (but in most forms the /ð/ is assimilated)
Could the imaginary speakers if this language reinterpret this as two seperate words?
Would this be atleast a bit realistic/naturalistic?
Thanks in advance!
