2023.06.06 15:10 literallyatree r/TreeAbuse will be going dark on June 12th in protest of Reddit's API changes.
This subreddit will be joining in on the June 12th-14th protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps.
What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
What's the plan?
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do as a user?
- Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
- Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at /ModCoord.
- Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
- Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.
What can you do as a moderator?
- Join the coordinated effort over at /ModCoord
- Make a sticky post showing your support, A template has been created here you can use or modify to your liking, and be sure to crosspost it to /ModCoord.
2023.06.06 15:10 jabthejesusfreak The Best Episode of Lost: Round 1, Days 31 and 32
The updated bracket is here.
I completely spaced and missed yesterday, so we roll on with two match-ups today. Friday saw a decent battle, but ...In Translation was able to advance into the next round.
Today we've got a potentially close match-up between two Season 1 episodes and one that is most likely a blowout. The synopses are below:
"House of the Rising Sun" is the 14th episode of Season 1. On the island, Jin attacks Michael for reasons not yet known. Jin is handcuffed to the wreckage while people try to sort out what happened. Jack shows others the caves he found with fresh water. He and Sayid disagree on whether to move to the caves or keep a signal fire going on the beach. Charlie steps on a beehive and he and Locke have to deal with that. Sun reveals that she can speak English to Michael and explains that Jin attacked Michael because of the watch, which was an item he was tasked with protecting for her father. In flashback, we see some early moments of love between Jin and Sun. Jin, however, agrees to work for Sun's father to get his blessing for them to marry. This causes problems which we see glimpses of, including a night when Jin comes home with blood all over him that is not his own. Sun decides to flee Jin and her father to America, but backs out at the last minute in the airport and instead continues to travel with Jin.
"Raised by Another" is the 10th episode of Season 1. In flashback, we see Claire find out she's pregnant, get left by Thomas, decide to give the baby up for adoption, and then have a psychic tell her she must raise the baby. The psychic later tells her that she needs to go to Los Angeles as there is a family there who will take her baby. It seems as though this psychic may have been the cause of her being on the plane and it may have been a ploy to force her to raise the child. On the island, Claire is having strange nightmares and is worried someone is after her baby. Hurley starts taking a census after getting hold of the plane's manifest. At the end of the episode, Hurley reveals to Jack that someone wasn't on the plane, and we see Charlie and Claire, alone in the woods, interrupted by a strange appearance from Ethan.
"The Life and Death of Jeremy Benthan" is the seventh episode of Season 5. Ceasar is searching Ben's office in the Hydra. Ilana interrupts to inform him of a man in a suit who was not on the plane. They come outside and Ilana introduces Ceasar to the man, who introduces himself as John Locke. Locke later explains to Ilana that he does not remembering being on the plane but does remember dying. We flashback through everything that happened to Locke after he turned the wheel and stopped the time shifts on the island. He is brought to medical attention by men hired by Charles Widmore. Widmore tasks Locke with getting the Oceanic Six back to the island, and Jeremy Bentham is born. All of his attempts fail, though he does share a nice moment with Walt along the way. Matthew Abaddon is killed by Ben, and Locke's despair grows. He ends up attempting to commit suicide, only to be saved by Ben, who claims to be there to help John. When Locke reveals he needs to go see Eloise Hawking in LA, and this is apparently the last piece of information Ben needs, as he then kills Locke and stages Jeremy Benthanm's death. The episode ends back on the island with Ceasar taking him to the infirmary where Ben is asleep and Locke reveals to Ceasar that Ben is the man who killed him.
"Special" is the 14th episode of Season 1. In flashback, we see Michael excited to become a father, only to have those hopes and dreams dashed by Susan, who takes Walt to Amsterdam with her for a job. Susan is a terrible co-parenting partner, starts dating her boss, and more or less refuses to let Michael take any part in Walt's life. But hey, at least she paid for the medical costs after Michael got hit by a car. You know, in exchange for him signing off his parental rights so Brian could adopt Walt. Later, we see Walt, Susan, and Brian in Australia. A bird hits the window after Susan and Brian aren't paying attention to Walt, Susan dies, and Brian can't handle Walt so decides to drop that responsibility on Michael. Michael still takes on that responsibility and even makes himself the bad guy in Walt's eyes despite learning, in one more twist of the knife, that Susan had never given a single letter or postcard that Michael had sent to Walt. Meanwhile, on the island, Michael is pissed that Walt is spending so much time with Locke. When Walt goes missing searching for Vincent, though, Michael takes Locke's help to find him. They eventually do find Walt, who is trapped by a polar bear, and must make a daring attempt at rescue. Michael saves Walt (with Locke's help) and they share a good moment. Later, Locke is using a handmade whistle to attempt to call Vincent back to them, but instead runs into a confused and out-of-sorts Claire, who's been missing since Ethan's capture of her.
So which episodes will get your votes and advance?

2023.06.06 15:09 MajorClagNut Join The Camp on the DOWNBAD PC Server
https://discord.gg/dbdayz
Do you want to be part of something different on a DayZ server?
The Camp could be what you are looking for.
The Camp is a place for people to head to and not get their heads blown off instantly (no guarantees, it is still DayZ after all!). Once there the community will help people get to grips with things before players can decide on their own paths. You could go out alone into the big bad world, form alliances or remain in the camp and give something back to the community.
It is a 'semi safe-zone' there is no in-game mechanic protecting us, the members enforce a marshal law and attempt to keep the peace. People can be banished from the camp or imprisoned for crimes against other camp members. The camp can also be raided by outsiders so members my need to defend the land.
The Camp is still in its infancy but is progressing nicely, this is your chance to get in and help with forming the foundations. Jump into the DOWNBAD discord and ask any questions you have.
What else does DOWNBAD offer?

2023.06.06 15:09 PotatoNin F10 on X670E Aorus Master causing high voltage spikes on RAM.
I posted about this on Twitter, linking Gigabyte, Aorus, and GamersNexus but since it seems to be going under the radar let me post this here too
System Specs
Ryzen 9 7950X (Stock AUTO) using Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 (50~60 degrees C)
Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master (F10, F8c)
64GB (2x32) Kingston Fury 5600 KF556C40BBAK2-64 RAM (CL40-40-40 1.25V XMP)
Here's the issue:
I have never gotten this system to sit stable as long as the XMP/EXPO profile is On. I have tried replacing the CPU, and even trying out a G.Skill 5600 kit, but no dice. The system has an issue where if I leave it idle for long periods of time or just doing low-load tasks, it will randomly freeze and then automatically restart with no errors whatsoever.
Based on what I've tested so far, after installing F10 BIOS, the G.Skill kit I have no longer gets recognized by the board (stuck on C5 code) but the Kingston Fury still posts so I tried that one. Both kits passed all memtests so I assume they're not bust, being brand new and all. If I use F8c, G.Skill still works, freezing issue excluded.
I've pretty much given up on this system now, but I wanted to put this out here that I noticed how F10 BIOS seems to be dumping some weird voltage spikes onto the RAM even during idle or low-loads despite XMP/EXPO being OFF (this is with CMOS properly cleared per BIOS change). This happens to the two DIMM slots separately and randomly. I will link to the image on Twitter with the HWinfo sensors catching this spike I'm talking about:
F10 BIOS with XMP/EXPO OFF Idle/Low Load
I figured this was weird behavior, so I decided to flash back to F8c BIOS (cleared CMOS with Reset Default settings), and then just turn XMP/EXPO ON, leave everything else to AUTO, and run a Testmem5 extreme config test while monitoring the voltage sensors. To my surprise, HWinfo shows results that seem to be way more stable on RAM voltage while SOC goes up to around 1.2v.
F8c BIOS with XMP/EXPO ON AUTO during TestMem5 extreme config test
This is weird, because F10 should already have lower voltages + having XMP/EXPO OFF and yet it's pumping a lot of current into the RAM at random spikes. F8c doesn't do this to the RAM at all, albeit the SOC is at 1.2v under stock BIOS settings + XMP/EXPO AUTO. I may just be seeing bad reads with HWinfo, but seeing as the numbers don't seem erratic under F8c while doing the Testmem5, I think I found a foreboding issue here with the new BIOS versions that needs to be preemptively checked. I wouldn't want my RAM to explode like those Ryzen 7000 chips.

2023.06.06 15:09 Mayors-Office /r/gachagaming will be going dark from June 12-14 in protest against Reddit's API changes which will kill 3rd party apps.
What does this mean?
During this period, gachagaming will be set to Private, meaning that the subreddit will be inaccessible to all users and no new posts or comments can be made. Instead of being able to view and visit the community, you will be served a blank page message like this one (the message will be customized to share why we are temporarily private).Thank you to everyone who has sent a modmail or shared a comment in this thread asking for us to participate.

2023.06.06 15:09 whiporee123 Week 16 update
Hello again everyone. I'm down 1.8 pounds this week -- a little less than projections -- but it puts me at 50 pounds down in 112 days on the shot. I'm a third of the way to my goals, and I've lost 12.8 percent of my starting body weight.
I started doing measurements two months ago, and since then I'm down 3.27 inches around my waist and 2.42 around one of my thighs. My neck hasn't changed.
I've learned I simply can't eat some things anymore. I went to see Across the Spiderverse (which was awesome), I had a small bag of popcorn and gained three pounds. Finally came out, but I think that's just too maddening to deal with anymore.
I'm averaging 3.13 pounds a week. but if you take out the big first week, then it's about 2.5. It's not a miraculous drop, but the scale is still going down, and if it keeps up this pace I'll be at my goal in about 40 more weeks. So it'll take me about 13 months to have lost 150. Not as fast as one might dream of, but hopefully it will keep working. Good luck to everyone still at it.

2023.06.06 15:09 hymness1 One way or another, I'm not having fun
Just need to vent. Been writing this post 5 times, canceling and rewriting.
I first stopped drinking October 9th, 2019. If it wasn't for this, I surely would have been dead today, with the pandemic and all.
I stopped for a little bit over 2 years. During those 2 years, I haven't had a single little bit of fun. Not drinking wasn't hard after a little while, say 2 months? But even then, no fun, at all, always. For 2 years. Otherwise life was better. More productive at work, good sex with the wife, didn't fall asleep on the couch for all that time, had more energy to play with the kids. But. No fun, ever. And it was messing with my head.
I had a party with some of my wife's friends, summer 2021. There was me and someone else's wife that were sober. That was one of the worst day of my life. My wife was having a lot of fun, totally drunk. She was mean to me even. Some of her friends even went to talk to me about her behaviour. My wife and I had a talk. I would not accept that behaviour anymore. Told her I haven't had any fun in 2 years. I'm cured now I said. Told her she often drinks too much and when she does, she's mean to me. Told her I wanted her to drink less, and I wanted to drink so we could have fun. (That's not the best I could came up with, but english is not my first langague).
2 more months went by without a single drop of alcohol from me. One movie we were really eager to release got released, and moreso it was on our wedding anniversary. We went to a tartar restaurant that just opened. Looked at the menu, asked for a NA beer or wine. We don't have any of those. Looked at my wife, looked at the menu and back to my wife. It's okay she said. We ordered a bottle of wine. Had one glass. I liked it.
The next day, I had bought a bottle of whisky.
I was finally having fun. Life was back to normal. Sex was good. Had laughs with my wife.
2 months later, I would start to have two glasses of whisky on the evening.
6 months later, I'd have a glass after my morning coffee.
Today, I'm back to a bottle of whisky a day.
And I'm not having fun. In fact, I'm fucking angry at myself everytime I'm pouring myself a glass of whisky. But there's not just whisky. Beers and wine. But I'm ALWAYS angry at myself. 24/7.
I gained weigth. I suck at my job now, always late and forgetting everything everytime, or sleeping on the clock. I've not had sex with my wife in 6 months because I always pass out on the couch in the evening, or I can't erect. That's putting a toll on our couple.
I'm not having fun. And I didn't too when I was sober.
It really sucks.
Edit : And I fucking submitted that post. Love you all.

My wife was having a lot of fun, totally drunk. She was mean to me even. Some of her friends even went to talk to me about her behaviour. My wife and I had a talk. I would not accept that behaviour anymore. Told her I haven't had any fun in 2 years. I'm cured now I said. Told her she often drinks too much and when she does, she's mean to me. Told her I wanted her to drink less, and I wanted to drink so we could have fun. (That's not the best I could came up with, but english is not my first langague).
2 more months went by without a single drop of alcohol from me. One movie we were really eager to release got released, and moreso it was on our wedding anniversary. We went to a tartar restaurant that just opened. Looked at the menu, asked for a NA beer or wine. We don't have any of those. Looked at my wife, looked at the menu and back to my wife. It's okay she said. We ordered a bottle of wine. Had one glass. I liked it.
The next day, I had bought a bottle of whisky.
I was finally having fun. Life was back to normal. Sex was good. Had laughs with my wife.
2 months later, I would start to have two glasses of whisky on the evening.
6 months later, I'd have a glass after my morning coffee.
Today, I'm back to a bottle of whisky a day.
And I'm not having fun. In fact, I'm fucking angry at myself everytime I'm pouring myself a glass of whisky. But there's not just whisky. Beers and wine. But I'm ALWAYS angry at myself. 24/7.
I gained weigth. I suck at my job now, always late and forgetting everything everytime, or sleeping on the clock. I've not had sex with my wife in 6 months because I always pass out on the couch in the evening, or I can't erect. That's putting a toll on our couple.
I'm not having fun. And I didn't too when I was sober.
It really sucks.
Edit : And I fucking submitted that post. Love you all.
2023.06.06 15:09 brilliantpants Bottle Sanitizing Question
Hi everyone, I have a short trip coming up with my 3mo old, and I’m wondering what everyone else would do in this situation:
My daughter is formula fed. We usually use the powder mixed with water, but she will also happily eat the pre-mixed liquid from her usual Dr. Brown’s bottles.
Next weekend we are going my in-law’s cabin for two days/two nights. The issue is that the water at the cabin is from a well, and for some reason I simply CANNOT understand, they refuse to have it tested.
They “consider” it safe enough for washing dishes and brushing teeth, but they don’t drink it or cook with it.
I wash and sterilize my bottles after each use, but my concern is is that I don’t really want my daughter’s bottles coming into contact with water that might be contaminated fracking residue, agricultural run-off, or coal mining related materials. All of those activities occur in the area, and I’m concerned that there may be things in the water like fertilizer, pesticides, or other chemicals that will not be cleaned by sterilizing.
Additionally, I’ll have to do the sterilizing in tiny batches in the microwave, which makes an already tedious chore even worse.
I though I had come up with the brilliant alternative of using the pre-mixed liquid formula in disposable bottles, but I got some out just to try it yesterday, and she wouldn’t drink it. I think the issue was the disposable nipple, but I’m not sure, and now I don’t know what to do.
Truly, I would MUCH rather stay TF home, but that’s not an option.
So how would you handle this? Am I being overly cautious? Should I bring 8 gallons of water and use that to wash everything? Keep trying with the disposable nipples and see if she adjusts? Idk what to do here.

2023.06.06 15:09 crimson_713 What's the most unintentionally tone deaf ad you've ever heard during an episode?
Everyone talks about the casino ads, but I keep getting weirdly inappropriate ads based on episode content when I listen on Google podcasts.
I'm listening to part 6 of the Vince McMahon series, and in the first ad break after Robert brings up the teen boys that were abused, it cuts to an ad break, and the first thing I hear is "JENNIFER LOPEZ KNOWS THAT AGE IS JUST A NUMBER" and it damn near killed me as I choked on my coffee.
What's the most off-color, tone deaf ad the algorithm has forced on you?

2023.06.06 15:09 JPDG Empty Mirrors: Finding Your Roleplay Style
 | We've seen a lot on our roleplay server, both before and after the Gloomrot update. During that time I've encountered many players who are perhaps intimidated by the idea of roleplaying online or don't know where to start. submitted by JPDG to vrising [link] [comments] In this post, I'm going to break down several of the roleplay styles I've seen. I hope it gives you an idea of the range of online RP and some of the ways you can make it your own. If you take one thing away from this, it's that there are many viable ways to roleplay & one is no better than another. Play how you love to play. 1. The Grinder This is the type of player who loves to farm. When they see you in-game, they'll happily be in-character (IC). However, they don't go out of their way to look for roleplay. They rarely post stories in Discord and often have a bare-bones backstory. If they do take an RP role on the server, it's commonly in the form of a merchant or trader. If you're looking for it, they probably have it. They got to end-game in two days and can already solo Adam. Their roleplay is short and sweet. It won't last long because there is always more to grind. I'd like to stress that this is a completely viable form of RP. I love V-Rising and enjoy the gameplay immensely. I enjoy the grind from time to time. It's actually a great way to get out of your castle and meet up with other players. 2. The Author Somewhat opposite of the Grinder, the Author is always writing. His character application is four posts long and his backstory is completely flushed out. They are fast typers. Most often they can rattle off four or five sentences during an RP scene in the time you can write one. They're active on Discord roleplay channels. Their game progression is slower because they are busy writing a novella. This can be an intimidating form of roleplay to some. Not everyone has the time, skill (yes, writing is a skill), or patience to write exhaustively. Of course, they make great roleplayers and will often help others with their character development. 3. The Couple Couples roleplay together. They are rarely on without each other and have to be together for almost every roleplay encounter. In V-Rising, they commonly have an RP dynamic like Lord and Lady, brother and sister, or master and servant. Their backstories intertwine and their in-game roleplay plays well off of each other. If you want to roleplay with one, the other will show up. Couples, whether they be friends or more, are always great to have in-game. They bring a rich roleplay dynamic that others can see when interacting with them. Nyhx and Neives RPed as brother and sister. 4. The Event Planner Event planners don't just meet up for roleplay, they plan ahead. Commonly outgoing socialites, they plan parties, boss fights, or farming times together. Why play alone when you could meet up for RP and play together? They are commonly the first to have a full clan and love to invite others into their gaming experience. Event planners make a wonderful glue to a community. Gaming can be such a solo experience. It's good to have social players who are creating opportunities to join them in their story. 5. The Roleplay Queen Roleplay queens are here to roleplay, roleplay, and roleplay. They hate farming and could care less about progressing through the game. They can set up shop in southern Farbane and never leave. The only reason they craft early-game armor is that the bone armor looks shoddy. They'll often trade what little they have for cosmetic items. On day one of joining your server they're asking to increase the drop rates to x3. They also want all of your bricks, planks, and glass so they can make their castle look pretty. For roleplay. Godwin and the scientist, Electra, discuss peculiar dreams. 6. The Mixed Approach This player has a bit of everything. I daresay that's where most people fall in the roleplay spectrum. I tend to land here. They bounce between knocking out the game, OOC (out-of-character) talk in Global Chat, and sporadic RP meet-ups. They like to write but they're not selling a book anytime soon. Conclusion Again, it's good to be aware that any type of roleplay listed is completely viable (along with others not mentioned). I strongly encourage players to understand how they like to RP and not try to mimic another's style. Play how you love and don't worry about adhering to any type of norm. All the best! Empty Mirrors: Create your character. Share your story. |
2023.06.06 15:09 first_name_harshit NEED 8K URGENTLY
Hi fellow ents, I need a huge favor. I lost my job a few months bck and during my first month my friends introduced me to an online credit card which I used responsibly until I was let go due to budget cuts. The credit card had EMIs for the amount I borrow and I paid them back through my savings and other earnings. This month my dad had to go through a surgery to remove a lump from his chest (non cancerous thankfully) due to which me and my family had to use our savings for the procedure and now I've no way to pay back the EMI. I couldn't go to my parents because I don't wanna become an extra financial burden since we don't come from a well to do family and can't afford a loss of 8k out of nowhere and my friends are worse off than me. I've got a job lined up from August so I'll be able to pay back when I get my salary but for three months I've got no earnings and a loan on my head. Please if someone can help me out, I started the delhi pizza party as a way to afford these bills but after two weeks that also died down. Help me please.

2023.06.06 15:09 abarns678 Ex keeping MY friends on his private snapchat stories & close friends on tab on instagram.
Day 80 NC. I have grown leaps & bounds since the start of NC, I just feel so renewed & just so good about myself, life has been looking good for a while now. It’s just comforting to know i’ve made it this far :)
For this post though, I just want to vent/ask for people opinions but not sure if this the right space but alas.
So a month after the breakup i removed him off my snapchat & instagram i couldn’t bare to see his social media & life, it hurt WAY TOO MUCH, so I done that, then his friends started posting videos of my ex and them drunk together on instagram close friends tab (a month after we split his mates still kept me on their privates and close friends list) so i unfollowed ALL of his friends, again because this hurt SO MUCH.
Then it has come to my attention this week that all of my best friends are still on his private stories and instagram stories - like he’s kept them in his private posts etc. - luckily for me, my friends never said anything for the first 3 months - they didn’t mention a single thing he posted because they knew i’d get emotional over it (so i’m very glad and lucky for my friends in that regard) but overall i just find it strange behaviour.
Like we broke up 4 months ago; our friend groups never intertwined while we dated it was very clear: my friends, his friends, so he wasn’t very close with them, and all of my friends have said ‘i don’t know why i’m still on this - i don’t want to see it’ - and after realising many has left the stories.
But yeah just wanted to vent because I do find it strange: a bit of me thinks oh has he done this because he thinks my mates will see him out clubbing and posting whatever, then come running back to tell me? idk? i’m just lucky my friends realised what would hurt me and when.
Just wanted to share this & ask, is this notion/emotion i’m feeling okay? like i just view him as a bit weird now for doing that yeno

2023.06.06 15:08 ThrowRA_electrical First day at a new job and my manager signed me up for a day I was supposed to have off without asking?
So I started a new job yesterday. All was well and then I got an email from our regional manager. This is the guy who hired me/I interviewed with. It was an email sent to a few people thanking us for signing up to man a booth at a convention this Friday.
I was listed to have a three hour shift in the morning. The only issue is.. I never signed up. And I was supposed to have Friday off (our center is closed that day).
The regional manager is coming by today. I planned on saying something like “oh I got this email about the convention, I don’t remember signing up for that did I miss something?” But idk. How do I approach this and what should I do?
It’s a 3 hour shift at a booth on Friday. We are open Saturday for 3 hours as well. I’m thinking of just asking off on Saturday if I do the booth since I have a wedding that evening anyway.

2023.06.06 15:08 Ok-Combination-2186 my suicidal gf doesnt want me
My now ex gf 16f who i will refer to as "A" broke up with me 16m (both 15 at the time) because she was going to kill her self.
When i first met her she was the average uk stoner having done a few class As in the past, only having one other relationship where she was abused mentally. she did not like talking abt it but i think i can infer the details. i had had 0 experience in relationships 0 experience with drugs/ alcohol, i was a complete newbie to everything. we were almost polar opposites to each other: she had dropped out of school and now goes to a special school for kids with behavioral issues. i was and still am high achieving whilst maintaining a good reputation with my peers, i think this is what made us so interested in each other to be honest.
She had opened up to me about her depression and her trust issues before going into our relationship. i would like to say we fell pretty hard for each other but im sure i fell hardest as im still in disbelieve she did this to me even two months later. when i was with her i was the happiest i had ever ever been. it was weird, i did not think just being with somebody else could make me this happy. we were both in love. during our relationship we only had 2 arguments with us both getting over them within in at least 12 hours, we had a pact where we wound not bring them up again this worked very well, this was her idea to which i mutually agreed.
one day out of the blue i woke up to a long paragraph from her, she said we should end it because she was not in the right space for a relationship at this time, this was a lye which i later found out. i did not read the whole thing i think i was too in shock to after the first two lines everything was a blur. the message did not seem remorseful it didn't seem sincere. i asked to meet later that day which i knew she could as she only went to school once every blue moon. we met up later that day after i had school, she said she was going somewhere. she couldn't tell me where, she couldn't tell me who she was going with, she couldn't tell me what she was going to do there. perhaps she was talking about the afterlife, im not sure. that was all she told me - that day.
i was livid, i could not believe she was going to do this to me. me and her bsf 15f were both in denial that she was actually going to do this as all three of us knew we made each other happy. i took her on the right path to improving as a person, she so said her self and her bsf. right there and then whilst both of us were in tears sitting on my bed i blocked her and her friends on all socials systematically followed by delating every photo i had of her, im still unsure that this was the right decision to make at the time but it was the only thing i could think of to do as a last attempt to make her turn around and say don't do this or something like that. i hoped wrong.
one of the last things i said to her was promise me your not going to kill your self, she nodded gently. we both left my house and walked to the station holding hands in silence. i think i was too starstruck to talk. we got to the station, she asked if i wanted to kiss, without saying anything we both leaned in. i said i love you as she walked off to board the train after not talking for a long, panful 45 mins, this was reciprocated by "i love you too". later that evening i went round my mates house got drunk and talked the whole thing over with him i had to get this off my chest (pun intended) right there and then. this was the end. so i thought...
we didn't talk for two weeks. all i could think about was her. she messaged me on my birthday to say "happy birthday elliot" i now hate her for this. why had she done this to me right now, why is she messaging me again. i had made it clear in the break up that we were not going to message each other again. i had blocked her on everything. but i had forgotten to blocker her number. i don't remember exactly what i said but i was desperate, something along the lines of "i could have fixed this im sorry". she said i couldn't have fixed this and that the entire thing was her fault.
we kept messaging for another week. this was hell for me, im still not sure why i hated this week so much. on the 6th day of messaging she confessed to me, i remember it word for word, "i don't plan on being alive for much longer after summer". i didn't react. i just continued the previous conversation im not sure why i did this either. this pissed her off i think. i dont remember much more of what was said but i remember simply saying your not going to do it. she said she was going to. the next day i told her she was week and selfish for doing this to me i told her she was, "taking the easy way out". i blocked her number this time. we haven't messaged since.
a week back i messaged the same bsf, as i mention earlier, happy birthday we have been talking since, mostly not about her just other things. on a completely different note i have a new girl, im going to call her E, who i am messaging she wants to meet after our gcses (the UKs SATs equivalent). shes high achieving, smart, funny, cute but a tad on the boring side, unlike A. i believe i have moved on from A.
however last night we talked about A. she said she believes that A is likely not to kill her self anymore, i was fuming to hear this. i want her to do it i wont lye. i said this to the bsf she said she understand how i feel. i told her to message A if she would ever think about getting back with me because admittedly i would get back with her. i have had nobody make me this happy before in my life, i want that feeling again. A said she would see whether she would reconsider in collage (all four of us are going to the same collage the bsf, A, E and me). collage is 3 months away.
also to add, i manipulated A a lot along with E who i am currently talking to. i know i have to stop this but i cant. its almost pleasurable, i get some kind of sick enjoyment out of doing it. i also believe i am a narcissist, so say my friends, my family, and the bsf.
this brings me to the current moment. im not sure why i am writing this tbh. please feel free to give me advice in the comments thank you very much for reading this wonderful people of reddit x

2023.06.06 15:08 careeradvising Should grad school applicant reply to each recruiting email, and are recruiters actually expecting responses? Please help me out!
I am really in need of advice as a grad school applicant. I had signed up to receive recruiting emails when enrolling for a test and have received numerous emails each day. Some are sent from individual recruiters and show their names, while others are more generic and seem to be sent to a distribution list. One was a follow-up asking if I saw the original email. I have been overwhelmed including a relocation, so I haven’t been responding to each email. The ones I did reply to before relocating, I apologized explaining that I was out of office, but that recruiter didn’t reply back. I’m confused because some of them seem to be about last minute applications to start school this year, while others say priority deadline so would those be for starting school next year? I’m looking to start school next year.
I’m getting stressed each time a new email comes in. Are we expected to reply to each one or just the ones directly sent from a recruiter? Should I find a way to turn off the email setting? Is that even possible now that they have my email info? I signed up in the hope for some help with the application process like workshops/guidance but didn’t expect so much recruiting marketing. Any advice is welcome. Thank you!

2023.06.06 15:08 Tea-Steeper Theory for Auri's role.
There will be spoilers for The Slow Regard of Silent Things.
Auri is one of the more powerful people in the series being a master namer, we see it in how she has a name for every place in the Underthing. I also think she's closer to being a Knower, like a Cthaeh, than any other character. The Slow Regard for Silent Things is about Auri trying to get ready because she knows Kvothe is coming back.
She also references it a little in lines like, "She would simply have to take her time and do things the proper way." This means that there is a "right" way of moving through the world, with everything having its place. This might be why the Cthaeh, actively trying to change the future by throwing wrenches in perfectly good machinery is as easy as one conversation. If everything has its place, all it takes is one thing to move and it'll all be ruined.
This part is purely speculation, but I think the reason the Cthaeh kill the butterflies is to enact a bunch of butterfly effects. It tells Kvothe that it kills for specific reasons like spite and taste, and Bast says that they don't lie. But creative truths aren't off the table. Actions can have more than one reason behind them, and the Cthaeh can choose to reveal only the reason that will cause the most damage. Now the reason I think its a butterfly effect thing, is because everything has its proper place. Auri spends so much time moving everything to where they belong, and places where they'll serve the proper way best. If small objects like bottles and buttons have a place, why not butterflies?
Auri also knows that Kvothe WILL need a new name at the end of the book. Massive spoilers, but the final lines of the book is as follows:
"It was perfect. It was right. It was a start. He would need a place someday, and it was here all ready for him. Someday he would come, and she would tend to him. Someday he would be the one all eggshell hollow empty in the dark.
And then . . . Auri smiled. Not for herself. No. Not ever for herself. She must stay small and tucked away, well-hidden from the world.
But for him it was a different thing entire. For him she would bring forth all her desire. She would call up all her cunning and her craft. Then she would make a name for him. Auri spun about three times. She smelled the air. She grinned. All around her everything was proper true. She knew exactly where she was. She was exactly where she ought to be."
These indicate a tragedy for Kvothe. I think Auri's role of going to give Kvothe a new name. Or, what I really think, is seal away Kvothe's real name in his Thrice Locked Chest. I mean... the foreshadowing has been in plain sight. Kvothe to Kote. He just took our parts of the name, which could foreshadow that Kvothe will lose part of his name. We already know that losing part of your name can have dire consequences, like the Moon, and Elodin's reaction to the question about changing names. It could explain why he can't do Sympathy, or other forms of magic.
The story of Jax and the Moon is definitely an important one. Its about a clever but careless boy who wanted the Moon but even after all his cunning, the moon is still out of reach. There seems to be a lot of parallels between Kvothe's story and Jax. First, any scene with Denna is almost always described with the Moon, drawing a literary parallel between the two. The story of Jax is a tragedy, and according to Kvothe, so is his. We begin at the end of Kvothe's story, where there us something locked away in his box, and at the end of Jax's he ends up with something in his box. And again, we're at the end of Kvothe's story, but there's no Denna. Much like how the Moon is out of reach for Jax.

2023.06.06 15:07 XthissuckzX I failed the 12th step
So this is anonymous and forgive my sickness. So I worked an awesome program. I went a 4 solid months weed free and it was a good experience. I worked the steps quick and pretty sure that’s what was needed. I was struggling at times but when I was in step 11 I felt clear and peaceful. Felt like I gained my self esteem back and felt the 9th step promises. So I got to step 12. My sponsor pushed me to get out there and sponsor people. I felt good about this in the beginning. I did my best to not care about time and how certain groups claim that a sponsor has over a year of sobriety. I got my first sponsee and when we talked planned out how we are going to work. I felt something off in my head. Like low confidence kicking in. I said we’ll meet after I get back from a mini vacation with my girlfriend. My sponsor then gives me another sponsee and tells me I should have like 3-5. I said ok because it seemed right. Talking to this sponsee felt more comfortable. We met at a meeting and the again my confidence dropped. I went on that mini vacation told him to do some reading and journaling and we’ll talk we i get back. He then told me he is working with my sponsor instead. The other sponsee I had disappeared. I then got another one and was so damn anxious I ended up relapsing. Also during this time I didn’t feel comfortable in meetings. I didn’t like my sole purpose was to find sponsees. I felt fake. I felt like no wants someone with a short amount of time. I started to have intense anxiety and relapse before during and after Memorial Day weekend So I feel like finding a sponsee this way took away from own recovering. My sponsor recommended getting back on step 11 but I think was already checked out at the point. I am on day 3 but I lost my will and my desire. I wanna say I don’t feel right going to meetings. I want to be free from weed but not sure how much I take with all the recovery. There’s a lot of stuff with recovery and my mind can’t get focused. Hopefully I’ll get grounded soon

2023.06.06 15:07 sibman YSK: Recent Reddit Policies may kill 3rd Party Apps and negatively impact our Subbreddit
Following is a common text going around to make users aware of the current situation:
What's going on? A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
What's the plan? On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do?
Complain. Message the mods of /reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit : submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /ModCoord.
Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

edit: Open Letter regarding API pricing
/Amazon Response Details For the sub itself, the botting we do will remain under the threshold.
The 3rd Party Apps are the bigger deal. This will impact our team's moderation and how users access the sub.
We will not be going dark or setting the sub to private. In past instances, we've reinforced the sentiment that we place a premium on remaining Open to meet community needs.
That being said, I would encourage that if your post or comment can wait a day or two and not be posted during the 'protest' time (12 JUN), please do so.
We will be stickying this post for the next week or so, as this issue warrants attention from everyone using Reddit.

2023.06.06 15:07 Wroif Is negotiating worth it for <5k?
Hi,
Background info: I have a bit more (3 months) than 2 YOE full time dev experience. I also worked 6 months full time and 1 years part time as a test automation developer during college + 2 internships and this is in Montreal, Canada.
So 6 weeks ago I've been layed off like many of us. I've interviewed quite a bit and I just received a formal offer for the company I liked the most out of all that I'm interviewing for.
When I started the process, I had asked for about 93k, as I was making ~92k at my last job, which from what I understand, is in the higher end for someone with my level of experience, and I wanted to make similar amount of money. The offer I just received is for 87k.
When they gave me the offer, they said that while I had asked for 93, they have internal salary policies and range that they have to respect, and that 87k is above the average for people who graduated in 2020/2021.
I wanted to ask them if they were willing to do 90. I'm planning to stay at this role for about 3 years, (my goal with this job is to become experienced enough that I could start looking at senior level positions for my next role), and considering they do 5-11% raises based on performance, the difference between 87k and 90k do start to show after 3 years of raises. I would also like to stay as close as possible to my old salary.
I asked for a week to think about it/finish up with my other processes, but I like the stack that this place is working on better, I like their workflow better and I had a pretty good time talking to their team.
The HR person who gave me the offer told me to call them anytime this week if I had a question or wanted to talk about the offer.
I was planning to just call them and say something like "hey, I really like the offer and I'm excited at the prospect of joining the team. About the base salary, while I understand that there are internal policies in place and 93k might not be doable, I wanted to know if it would be possible to move the base comp from 87 to 90. I know that with the turbulence in the tech world, there was a risk of taking a bit of a pay cut for my next role, but I would like to stay as close as possible to my old salary. Also, while the offer is very fair for a 20/21 Grad, I think that my experience in test automation (using the same language as this company, and I did a bit of front end work at that role) is a rather unique asset that I have over other 20/21 grads. If there is no flexibility in the current offer, I understand and it's not really an issue, but I just wanted to know if that jump was possible. Thanks!"
So, do y'all think this is a fair ask? Or would you not even bother?
Thanks!

2023.06.06 15:07 Sm0lBean000 It’s my birthday and I’m crying
This is so stupid, but I don’t really have anyone to vent to. I was born and raised in California, but I’m moving to New Jersey to be with my fiancé. It’s a huge move and it has come with a lot of emotions and stress.
I dropped my fiancé off at work. It’s my 24th birthday and I decided to be adventurous. They have Dunkin’ Donuts close to my fiancé’s workplace, and we don’t have many of those in my area of California. I have social anxiety, and also driving anxiety because people in NJ drive very differently than people in CA. But I really wanted something sweet and treat myself on my birthday after a long day.
I got to Dunkin’ and ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich, a donut, and a coffee. When the guy handed me my bag, I noticed that it felt really light, like there weren’t enough items in it, but I was super anxious and just wanted to get out of everyone’s way, so I didn’t check the bag.
We’re staying with my fiancé’s parents until our apartment stuff is finalized. His folks live 20 minutes away from this Dunkin’. I dealt with anxiety during the drive from people basically driving like maniacs (no one here is patient) and Siri rerouted my route home because there was an accident on the main road (which occurred after I dropped my fiancé off). I drove all the way home, thinking about how this morning was a little scary, but at least I’d be nibbling some nice breakfast and enjoying my birthday quietly.
I got home and looked in the bag… the sandwich just isn’t there and the donut is completely wrong. I didn’t even get a receipt. I know this is stupid, but I started crying. I miss my mom. I miss Dutch Bros. I’m so happy to be here with my fiancé, but things here are so different it’s my first time being away from home on my birthday.
Anyway, this was stupid. Thank you for reading this.
