Ive been told im a hoe constantly by many poeple in my life. And I see social media and other girls seems to embrace this term and feel free from any negative thoughts linked to it. Free to express their sexuality. I dont consider myself one. I had hand counted relationships and im nearly my 30s. However, i have people at work that say that, both my exes said that before breaking up and even my parents told me that if i had sex before 18 I would become one. I think this term goes deeper than just offend my reputation and affects me more than what i am aware of. Ive been trying to not pay attention to it but honestly i still care a lot what peoples think. Does it has anything to do with attachment styles or anything deeper maybe? Low steem, childhood trauma? 🤔

Hi there,
Background I joined my company nearly two years ago. It would be two years in just under 14 days. For the last year morale has been low due to redundancies and other things. It's dropped further as a senior exec gave in his notice, along with my line manager.
Anyway, a new Exec came in recently who I've only interacted with virtually. Before this week I've only been in large calls with him, and only interacted once in a 121 manner. This week I've interacted with him more personally in a smaller setting a few times. Coming away from those calls, I was left that he wasn't impressed with what I had to say i.e. that not everything is sunshine and rainbows, but always in a constructive manner. Fully professional etc.
Anyway it gets to yesterday (Friday) morning and HR sends over to me a Teams invite for the early afternoon for a review. No context is provided. Get into the call and told that I am terminated "as of today, and today is your last". Access will be revoked from all systems etc. That I will be paid my monthly wage, 4 week notice period and annual leave.
The reasons given in the call are my line manager, new C-suite and unnamed others have noticed that I seem to lack motivation. I reply that is new to hear - I've always hit my targets, set both by my org and line manager. That I've never been informed - unofficially or otherwise - that I was not performing to the standard required. Instead I've only gotten positive feedback. HR mention also that it is partly because I've been unhappy - I reply that whilst I've been disheartened for reasons mentioned above - the same could be said of the majority of the company. HR agrees with this.
​
Anyway shortly after, I lose access to 1 system, and my colleagues are informed that today is my last day via email that I'm not looped into (friend shares it with me anyway). I'm also sent a termination letter stating the reason for termination not being able to "attain the standard of work required...[Company] has concerns regarding your performance and motivation".
​
I have not signed anything, only to respond asking for payslips, copy of contract. After speaking with ACAS and friends who have experience in HR, I appealed via email as my contract states is possible for disciplinary procedures. Appealing for wrongful dismissal. Disputing the lack of poor performance (again never been an issue, this rendering of lack of motivation (no one has ever asked me). I've also asked for a copy of the investigation report.
I've also had it confirmed to me by several people intimately involved in the matter, that the decision was driven by the new exec who just doesn't like me (for whatever reason). Advice I've gotten is that what they've done is not legal/they haven't followed due process. That actually I am still employed for the next month, which would take me over the 2 year mark?
The clause in my contract regarding termination states that I have to be given notice, 1 month in writing. Alternatively it can be done immediately/without pay if "committed any serious breach of your obligations as an employee or committed any act of gross misconduct".
Ultimately I recognise that my time at the company is done, and I'd like to get to an amicable agreement with them where I'm given a golden parachute and not "sacked".
Questions I have are:

1. How does my situation look like from a legal point of view? Is the above feasible?
2. Am I actually still employed for the next month, taking me over the two year mark which will give me greater protection?
3. Anything else?

​
tldr; Worked at company for nearly 2 years. Never been written up for anything. New exec comes in, dislikes me. Got told yesterday that I'm terminated on the same day for "lack of motivation", whilst getting some payment. What are my options.

I've had this PC I use for gaming for about a year and I'm not familiar with keep its drivers updated or which ones I even need to do.
Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II
BIOS Version: American Megatrends International, LLC. H.40, 03/02/2021
RAM: 16GB
PSU: ?
Case: ?
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10 64
GPU Drivers: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Chipset Drivers: ?
Background Applications: DISCORD, CHROME
Description of Original Problem: I'm trying to update my drivers and a lot of information is telling me to go to this AMD support website. However when I select my processor it gives me two options, RyzenMaster and StoreMI. I downloaded RyzenMaster and there doesn't seem to be anything on here about updating the drivers, only about overclocking. I then downloaded this AMD Auto-Detect and Install Tool but I just keep getting the Error 182.
Troubleshooting: I downloaded the chipset software from this but I'm not sure what that's done, I rebooted my PC after it told me to but I can't find the application.
Apologies if this is very noobish, I just want to make sure everything is updated and I know where to do so.

So I've been on prozac before, I made it 3 months in and then stopped, I didn't really have any benefits at that time(6weeks 20mg, 6weeks 40mg).
Recently I went back on them but already I'm waking up not wanting to go to work. This happened with other antidepressants where I just stopped going to work and started sleeping all day.
I don't want to stop taking them because I think oh I bet after 3 months is when they start kicking in for me. But maybe prozac and the other antidepressants I've tried aren't for me.
Ugh I dunno but I can't go back into this rut of lying in bed all day and nearly losing my job....but but what if I miss out on the prozac actually working. Ughhh. Without medication I'm a mess, with medication I'm a mess, I can't win!

So I've done some work to see what it could be.
I exchanged my power supply thinking it could be a fault in it (went back to my 500w) and the problem persisted.
I got a cpu that doesn't have a history of overheating and the problem persisted
I updated damn near every driver I can think of short of the printer and the problem persisted.
This next bit is irrelevant but, just to put in perspective how desperate I am to fix this shit, I went looking for RAM drivers and shortly found out there is no such thing. Learn something new every day.
Updating my drivers fixed a cooling issue atleast but that's about all it fixed.
To test the waters even further, I used Ryzenmaster to stress test my cpu. All cores running max speed, at 77w (which shouldn't be possible cause the R7 5700x has a wattage of 65) and the damn thing barely got to 61C (max is 95C) and didn't crash my PC. I did this twice. Once with the CPU gutted at 80% max speed, another at 100, which is when it reached 61C.
If I never have to do PC troubleshooting again, it'll be too soon.
Using Eventviewer, I got EventID 6008 and a Critical Kernel-Power Event 41. Basically just telling me "Your shit stopped".
I switched back to my 1kW PSU in hopes of the issue being a lack of power, and nothing.
Even did the stress test and the CPU got hotter trying to open discord on startup than running at 77w with all cores going full blast.
What is there left to check? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for what it could be.
To be more specific, it dies whenever I try to render or export anything in premiere, or whenever I try to record a game while on Discord. Sometimes it just crashes when I'm editing. Is it the sudden ramp up? I'm at a genuine loss of ideas here short of replacing my mobo.
Tldr; PC still fucked, slightly less so but still unusable for what I need. Stress tests fine but God forbid I ask it to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

Each year at the Memorial, we listen to a Bible-based talk that gives clear answers to a number of questions. We learn why mankind needs a ransom and how the death of one man can atone for the sins of many. We are reminded of what the bread and the wine represent and who should partake of them. (Read Luke 22:19, 20.) And we meditate on the blessings that are in store for those who cherish the earthly hope. (Isa. 35:5, 6; 65:17, 21-23)

question

Hi all, sorry if this is against the rules but I want to start riding indoors with Zwift and in the market for a second hand direct drive turbo
There are a few being sold near me but the price on all of them seems too good to be true compared to RRP, Do turbo trainers just not hold value very well?
On that note is there anything I should look out for when buying second hand?
Thanks in advance

My foot pushed down harder on the accelerator as my stomach cramped up again in a painful spasm. I was speeding through a schoolzone, and as a sign popped up on the side of the road clearly stating '20' I snapped out of my desperate panic and reluctantly dropped from '40' down to '25'. Turning a corner I realized to my horror that it was three o'clock, and the street was mobbed with parents buzzing in and out of the building to collect their children.
I turned to look behind me and I nearly lost it, my asshole puckering as I sucked the poison back inside. I was completely boxed in. Another four cars had already trapped me inside. I smashed the horn, pleading with the traffic on either side to budge. They didn't.
After a gruelling seven and a half agonising minutes and a half hearted search for some sort of viable receptacle and something other than socks to wipe with, the blockage finally gave way. The cars slowly began to move forward. Eagerly creeping behind, I saw the problem. Somebody had broken down right there by the school gates, having finally been repaired and sent along. A wave of relief washed over me as I considered the short journey ahead. The Porsche dealership was a little over a mile away. A dealership which had a bathroom, one I'd used before. Afterall, that's where I'd bought my car. They knew me, and I knew I'd be able to breeze on in, no questions asked. A deep growling rumbled out over the radio and I put my foot down again as soon as I broke through onto the main road. Just a straight shot, and it would all be over.
Not a minute passed until I was once again utterly dismayed, near losing all hope; ready to just give up right there and then and ruin a perfectly decent pair of black suit pants and the interior of my beautiful brand new Porsche's two-colour interior, characterized by a perfectly coordinated interplay of colours, materials and individual finishes suited just for me. A red light shone in the distance, and in its wake sat a long line of idling cars. Lesser cars, all in my way. My gut quaked violently and sharp pains erupted all through my midsection, sweat pouring down my back and growing sticky in the afternoon heat. I peeled myself from the smooth-finish leather, craning my head out the open window just enough to get a good shout across and I screamed as loudly as the rapidly building pressure would allow, but once again my efforts were futile.
Another minute, now five since I first stared down the crimson cyclops - FIVE minutes at a red light - before at last I was granted passage as everyone finally moved along. Taking their sweet time, of course. I took the left, screeching into the Porsche customer parking lot. The engine stayed on and the keys stayed in, I didn't even close the door behind me. There was no time. The car was the least of my concerns at that point, there was only one thing on my mind.
Shoulder-barging through the glass doors, it's as if my vision became tunneled as I focused in on that bright shining door located at the far wall emblazoned with the sign identifying it as a toilet. And only a little bit past two rows of Porsche's that were only slightly better than mine, I was so close. An audible grunt escaped my pursed lips. As I rushed past the reception desk, something grabbed me. It was Gina. Fucking Gina.
"Mr Kleinfeld? Hi! Lovely to see you again! There aren't any problems with the car, are there?" She looked concerned on the surface but only about as far as it might affect her status as the dealership's top salesperson that month.
"What?!" I caught myself before I let slip just how much pain I was in, confused as to why I wasn't just making a break for it. "Oh? No it's… it's amazing. Fantastic, even. It's just… the thing is…"
Gina raised an eyebrow behind her thick hipster glasses. Functional, yet chic. Now appearing sincerely concerned.
"CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM!?" The words piled out fast and hard in more of a shriek than a polite request. Gina took a small surprised step back before replying apologetically,
"I'm so sorry, but it'll be closed until at least Five. We've had a plumbing issue this morning a-"
My bodily functions erupted loudly against my will, interrupting the dealership's most enterprising saleswoman midsentence as a fetid smell akin to what I imagine a genocide reeks like filled the spacious area, floor to ceiling, within seconds. I stood there in shock, as did Gina. We maintained an uncomfortable mutual stare for a moment before my feet automatically began backing away; unconsciously desperate to escape immediately the nightmare on my stunned behalf.
Others began to correlate the stench with my shuffling presence and two or three pointed in my direction, outing my soiled situation to their small groups of co-workers.
"Don't look at me!" I yelled as involuntarily as I'd emptied my bowels as I crossed the threshold back into the lot, my shrill echo boomed and everyone who hadn't previously noticed my embarrassment did then at that exact moment. My mind was racing, while also simultaneously completely blank in an odd mix of trauma, shame, panic and despair. My reputation, tarnished in the blink of an eye like my work slacks.
I got to my still open and blinking Porsche, removed the bottom half of my attire and dumped it all right there beside me on the ground, socks included. They were someone else's problem now. With a quick wipe using the discarded clothing I hopped back inside and sped away from the scene. The smell haunting me the whole way like the memory of that day will haunt my every waking moment forever.
An hour's drive home later and I was sitting outside my house afraid to go inside. I didn't tell my wife what happened to me when she greeted me at the front door, balls out, instead storming upstairs to hide in the shower, opting for the inevitable rumor mill to do the job instead. We never spoke of it, ever. I never spoke about much of anything after that…

I'm going off of what I know based on having played all three games and having read all three PM novel things (Wonderlab, DD, and Leviathan). I haven't read Don Quixote, so there may be story details incorporated that would make it so I wouldn't know how it'd turn out. The basis of this theory goes off of the only other time we've hear knights mentioned in the PM universe, considering Don didn't have a visceral reaction to the N. Corp inquisitors. They were lines said by Sen in The W. Corp Cleanup Crew chapter in Library of Ruina. As they were entering the library, he was telling Lesti about how a kingdom with knights was one of the outcomes of time spent in the Warp train. I first thought up this theory when looking at the art on Don's ego, La Sangre de Sancho. The trauma in the background, a merry-go-round with people instead of horses, had lights and a blue-grey that reminded me of a Warp train. Then I began thinking about ways that Don could be related to a Warp train experience. First, it's important to note she has a Warp Cleanup Crew identity, which doesn't seem as important as it would be to Faust. Next, Don's ego is called La Sangre de Sancho and the weapon she uses looks like it's made of blood (sangre), which makes sense considering liquid's strange physics on one of the trains. It could literally be a weapon made of Sancho's blood (they could be someone of importance to Don). I considered how a merry-go-round is fun because it goes around in a loop for a long time, which could be reminiscent of how time feels on a Warp train (looped for a long time, not fun). The horses on the merry-go-round in the trauma have been replaced with people, which brings me into the Oswald connection. The people in the image of the trauma are in the place where horses are ridden. The skeleton of a horse is seen as a shadow in Don's ego art. If she were riding on a horse, the only way she could have one in a Warp train is if it were made of the passengers. We know PM would get this gruesome because the last time we saw people combined to make animals was with the fight of the 8 O'Clock Circus in Urban Nightmare, made by Oswald. This connection makes sense to me because of Don's promotional art having a circus/carnival in the background, looking at the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel. Seeing as we don't know his backstory and how his semi-distorted form is that of a jester, which falls in line perfectly the kingdom theme, I think if they met, it would mean he made the horse that Don might've rode on in the train. It makes sense for him to want to distort into something that makes people happy in a place as desperately depressing as a Warp train. Since he can manipulate flesh in strange ways, he also could've made the weapon that Don uses as her ego. The theory about her backstory being W. Corp based also makes sense considering the order and possible setting of where her chapter would be. Her's is 7th, after Yi Sang, Ishmael, and Heathcliff. From where we are in District K as of Chapter 3, it would make the most sense for Yi Sang's chapter to be in District L, as it is the origin of the light and how the light's manipulation properties coincide with how the boughs work and how Mirror Identities are pulled and made manifest from reflections within people's possible universes. From District L, Ishmael's chapter, with her backstory being very water-based, would make the most sense taking place in District U, with it's border with the Southern Sea. That would mean Heathcliff's chapter takes place in either District V or T. If it's T, then the theory's disproven and I can't predict anything about the future, considering we know nothing about District S, the next district over. If it's District V however, that can make sense with V's small border to the Southern Sea and the rain/body of water shown in Heathcliff's promotional art and ego art. Therefore, after District V, Don's chapter would either take place in District M or W. I don't know enough about District M to be able to formulate whether her chapter would be there, but if it's in W, then my theory no doubt in my mind becomes true. A minor detail I think also alludes to the theory is that in the art for La Sangre De Sancho, Don's playing with two figures and making them fight, one red and one blue. If she were to live in a Warp train, she would no doubt be covered in blood, which could coincide with the red figure. If that were the case, the blue figure would represent a Warp Cleanup Crew member. The only two details that throw me off are the art's language messages and the possibility. I don't know what the Korean and Chinese mean in the art and would appreciate a translation at some point. I also don't know how she or Oswald would get from being in a Warp train to being outside with the past experience. My theory is that they for some reason couldn't be killed in the train, so they were detained, as she is shown in her ego's art. They both have J Corp seals placed in their minds about the train, Oswald escapes, and the deal Vergilius mentions in Chapter 3 is alluding to a deal he made to get Don out of W. Corporation's custody. She wouldn't want it mentioned considering she may not remember the train, but she may remember killing the people in it, which would allude to the impaled people and blue-grey hue in her trauma in the ego picture. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, I'm sorry it went on for so long, but I felt some of the details were necessary to connect Don's possible past and our silliest clown. If you disagree, tell me why you do, I'd like to know about how the book she comes from ties back to her and her past. If you agree with my theory, thank you! Spread this around and see if you can get some feedback on it!

I promise I'm not making this up, and I know I'm not crazy because as a kid I almost died, it's like this is another one of those Mandela effect cases or something.
Back in the mid 90s my brother's used to bring me home giant gummy dinosaurs, jolly ranchers or lifesavers (I can't remember which) that were square like charms candy, and these drinks called asteros that had these little jelly balls that float at the top of the bottle. I wasn't any older that 5 or 6. One day they came home with big league chew and I found it in their room on the dresser already opened. It was outta here original. The baseball player was ready to swing and was blowing a big bubble from his mouth that covered part of his glasses on his right eye. On the bubble it read "Grows as you chew".
Me being a kid I was like yeah I want some! So I grabbed a little handful of the shredded gum and started chewing on it, and sure enough the more I was chewing it was getting bigger and harder to chew. Me being little and never eating gum before I didn't know what gum was I just figured it was a candy. I had tried to swallow some of the gum and it was still growing and got stuck in my throat to the point I was choking, I did the best I could and was lucky enough to get it out (I happened to be alone at home at the time because my big brother was getting my younger big brother from school down the street and had put cartoons for me to watch while he was gone). I threw my chewed gum away and never forgot that day.
Fast forward to this year and we were talking about near death experiences and I told my story. I went online to find the gum I was talking about to show them what the package looked like and to see the ingredients list and I literally can't find a single thing about it anywhere! Not in discontinued chewing gums, not in lawsuits over chewing gum, no google images, nothing.
So have any on you reading this ever had chewing gum that grows in your mouth the more that you chewed it? Because I can't make this up, nor would I want to. I was actually just trying to figure out what ingredients they used to make the gum grow.

Me (25M) and my GF (22F) have been officially together for just over a year now but started seeing each other around 18 months ago and are currently having some issues with new distance in the relationship.
When we first met she lived 40 minutes away, which at the time didnt feel so bad. We took things slow (mostly on my terms) but ended up fostering a committed relationship. She began to look to move closer to me, viewed several places to rent and even got a job near me. Though i currently live with my parents she spent most days with me and stayed most nights while she was looking somewhere.
The first half of last year was great, we went away together a lot made a tonne of memories in a short time and built a genuinely amazing relationship. My relationship before her was 8 years long, and ive felt so much more love in this newer one. Im basically trying to say that things were very good, everything was so easy and it just felt like we were made to be a team.
Summer came around and she ended up landing her dream job opportunity of becoming a tattoo artist (apprentice position). The studio was 50 minutes away, but it didnt seem so bad i was just thrilled for her because these positions are famously hard to get. A couple months later she ended up getting a place over there. On a good day it's 50 mins away, on a bad more like 70.
Initially she was working 3 days and living off of savings as well as the small amount she earned at the time. So we still had time to make the trips and stay with eachother for a few nights at a time. However she now works a full 5 days, but tattoo apprenticeships arent particularly lucrative so shes even having to now look for part time work to fit around it.
Im freelance, which is both a blessing and a curse, it means i can be flexible with my time and work from home at her place so we can see eachother on evenings. It also means that my work can be super sporadic and lead to unfortunate timings where we may not see eachother for over a week or more.
But things have been particularly tough recently. We had a bit of a rough patch before Christmas where she didnt feel i was making enough effort and felt that i wasnt committed to our future (she was right to a degree in that i hadnt been doing much to show my intent and put that effort in) then she ended up kissing another guy on a random night out. She owned up to it after it had happened and we took some time off, i made the decision to let her back and try to rebuild some trust. Though many people might think thats not a great move i was happy with my decision and things actually got way way better, we had some conversations and loads of time together over Christmas which was a blessing. Our relationship genuinely got a second lease of life after that.
However the pain from that still festered and i still struggled to fully trust her, the past couple of months ive been quite anxious and maybe sometimes overbearing and just feeling suspicious which has definitely had an effect on her too.
The last month in particular has been difficult as shes had to do things on her usual days off and work has become more busy for me, typically on her days off too. So weve been trying to block out time together but its proven difficult.
This past week ive noticed that shes been a little off, i managed to stay at hers last night and decided to semi address the situation. I was upset and didnt put on my best performance (tears etc) but basically she said she feels like our relationship and her life where she currently lives are two separate things, like shes living 2 lives almost. She said that she feels like she cant establish a social life where she lives or fully settle because of our relationship. Shes always been quite needy (i dont mean that in a negative way) in the sense that she likes to have me around all the time, she basically said that all of the issues that have come with the distance are not what she wants in a relationship. Both of our love languages are physical touch and quality time which arent helped by distance.
The further issue is that we dont have an end goal/distance closer in sight. I will be moving out of my parents house this summer to a city that is even further away (probably 90 minutes total), she considered moving to the city too but says she doesnt want to make the move if im the only reason (which is fair enough i understand that perspective fully). I had tried to push her to move and look for an apprenticeship in that city but she seems to think it will be impossible as theyre super hard to get.
During our conversation last night she said she had kind of made the decision to settle there because it was easier than moving again. We didnt really come to any sort of conclusion, as far as i know we are still together but it feels like its all hanging in the balance.
I want to make this work, i believe we have a good relationship and the only reason for it to end would be 50 minutes of driving, which feels like a waste to me. I considered taking more time off to wrap our heads around the issue but I'm anxious that more space isnt the solution. Im concerned that she will now think im being too needy and anxious as ive made it very clear i dont want things to end.
Any advice would be so appreciated, even just a new perspective!
TLDR: GF (22F) of just over a year recently moved 50 minutes away for work. We have a very good relationship (barre one rough patch where she kissed someone else as our relationship took a hefty dip). Things have been busy and we've struggled to see eachother more than once a week recently. I will be moving further away (90 mins) in summer and we dont have an end goal of distance closer in sight. Im freelance so sometimes can work at her place and see eachother on evenings, she had time to look to move to the city that im moving to but has decided to settle where she is as she doesnt want to make the move just because i am.

And I mean a good summarization. Most people would pick the John albums when in reality in the 40 years the bands existed John hasn’t been in it for half as long. He was originally in it for 4 came back for 11 and has been back since the tail end of 2019 so 3. All together that’s 18 of the bands nearly 40 year career as of this year.
My picks are Uplift Mofo Party Plan (the best Hillel Album)
BSSM (best First John Era album)
One Hot Minute (Dave’s album and very underrated)
Stadium Arcadium (The bands masterpiece if you ask me)
And finally the Getaway( Josh’s best album)
These albums all blend of Fleas and Hillel’s straight funk, John comes with the melodic sound and builds upon that connection, Dave’s crazy heavy metal take on funk, johns return and super brooding intricate guitar alternative, and some of Josh’s experimental and mellow sound all backed up by AK vocal presence and in 4/5 albums Chads great drumming and these albums sound nothing alike except for maybe the first 2. What would your picks be

Overall
Overall, The Finals has a ton of potential if the performance issues can be worked out. My system was only getting about half the frames or less that I get on every other modern shooter. The input delay was atrocious at over 40ms of system latency when my system is under 10ms on any other game. This made the gunplay and movement very lackluster when those are the most important things to me in a shooter game.
Graphics were great. Tone and aesthetics were very fun and gave 'Ready Player One' vibes. Music was good and fitting. Cosmetic combinations will be fun and hopefully kept relatively cheap in credits cost. Training area was a plus for getting your controls set up and learning how to work with the environment and weapons. Menus were clean and easy to navigate.
I enjoyed the action (even with bad performance) and felt my brain trying to quickly come up with creative ways to attack or escape in gunfights in a cat-and-mouse style. Going in and out of buildings as they are destructing and while the environment is rapidly changing is challenging but very rewarding when you are able to adapt and succeed at doing so. I surprised myself with some pretty crazy plays I didn't know I was capable of. Working with a solid team definitely helps.

- Hooking onto ziplines from the ground sometimes doesn’t catch, like they’re too high above your head to clip on to.
- Reviving still grabs and picks up player piece sometimes. Also, if the piece is next to an object like a flower pot or gas cannister, the piece needs to have priority instead of always grabbing objects near it.
- When spectating your teammates, sound was much louder
- During big building damage sequences, performance drops into single digits and is unplayable
- Friendly player collision while running next to each other gets caught on each other, slows down running and stutters
- Running through doors doesn’t always open them
- Fully charged paddles don't always revive
- After respawning or being revived, sometimes my gun can’t fire
- Footstep audio was really hard to pinpoint amongst buildings, sometimes a complete lack of direction. Teammate footsteps seemed louder than enemies most of the time as well

Possible Suggestions
- Killing enemy reduces spawn timer by a couple seconds for your downed teammates?
- Healing Gun seems to be overpowered, especially with 2 or 3 teammates equipping it plus defibs. What if the healing beam turned yellow and temporarily paused while that healed player is taking damage? Or if the healing player takes damage, their beam is turned off the same way cloaking abilities do? When I was in a team of 3 mediums all with beams and defibs, we were untouchable.

Conclusion
I didn't note everything I ran into but this is the best I could do from memory. Game feels like it needs one more closed beta, then a big open beta before final release. I'm looking forward to some more game modes and definitely a few more maps. PLEASE don't release this game until the performance issues and input lag are fixed. Even if it means toning down destruction or something. Whatever needs to be done. Excited to see what the talent at Embark comes up with though.

As the title says this is our current situation. I am not worried they might end up together as i have never met a girl which would be so dedicated to a person she is currently with. I am not even sure if i love her as much as she does me. She is on good terms with both of her 2 exes and are friends.
Her birthday is coming up shortly and she wants to do a party and wants to invite her last ex who she's had been engaged with. She doesn't see a problem in that he cheated on her and that's why she broke up with him. She says they talked it through and now are good friends and close to each other in that regard as they know each since they were teens. They were together for 3 years.
For me it is quite uncomfortable being around someone who was almost her husband. All i can see is someone who kissed her l, had intimacy with her, were with her, planned life together with.
Thought of him being near me makes me sick because that is all i am thinking about when i see him. Again i am not worried they may get back together as that bridge is already burned to ashes. But just the idea they been together and done stuff together makes me sick
I know very well i cannot changed their past as i can't change my past. I don't want to bring my ex to party and be keen on her showing up. Just to show hey this the bitch i fucked before her
Am i just overreacting about her ex? Or am to I don't know materialistic or what? That i should move on and not think about that stuff? I don't know. It makes me sick and i feel like throwing up.
Are you still friends with your exes and are they part of your life? How do you cope with it if your partner is still friends with theirs ex?
(hope it is understandable enough as i am not that comfortable with my English)

[A fair TW before I start explaining what happened: mentions of suspected pedophelia, potential kidnappepedophile, mentions of genitalia]
Hello fellow redditers!
After listening to a podcast that talked about this forum I decided to share my story on here aswell. Before I actually start I also want to apologize for my grammar, I’m a fellow Scandinavian lol.
Keep in mind that me and my friend that I’m mentioning in this story were only twelve years old when this event occurred and this was our first time something like this had ever happened to us, we were terrified. Without further view let’s dive into the story, stay safe everyone!
So this whole story begins when I was around 12 (fyi I’m 18 now) and it takes place at a two story shopping center that is walls-to-walls with our local IKEA. Me and my friend had been walking around for a couple of hours, buying a few things and looked around in stores. We were tired and decided to take a break and sit down for a bit. We sat down by the entrance on these two soft chairs, with my friend sitting to my right. Behind me to my left was a bench, on this bench there was an old man just sitting there. He looked like to be in his later 50’s/early 60’s and at first I didn’t think much of it, just thinking that he had to rest his legs just like me and my friend had to, so I gave him a smile to be polite and didn’t think much of it. I continued talking to my friend who like I mentioned before sat to my right. Suddenly I get this feeling like someone is watching me, I then turned around to see that the old man was starring at me with a large smile on his face. I get uncomfortable, and just as I am about to turn to my friend and tell them that I want to leave my stomach drops as the older man pointed at me, then slapped his lap trying to symbolize that he wants me to sit in his lap. I observed his movements and looked up to meet his face. He was now doing a certain movement with his tongue (this part is kind of hard to explain but imagine he was like strolling his tongue up and down fast like most people show when explaining how to pleas someone with a vaginal genitalia). I froze and my survival instincts kicked in and told me to run and find a security guard, I turned to my friend and said that there was a pedophile and that we had to run. My friend turned to the old man and saw him do that movement with his tongue towards me again, I saw how panic struck my friend and we stood up and started to run through the crowd of other shoppers deeper into the shopping center. I turned my head back to see that the man was still observing us and were still doing the movement with his tongue. I shouted at my friend to run into a jewelry-store in front of us, we tried to calm ourselves down and by doing so I told the female cashier that her hair was really pretty. We continued to run to the upper floor to look for a security guard that could help us, but we couldn’t find anyone. So we decided to walk over back to the entrance (we were still on the upper floor so we could have high ground on the older man if he was still sitting on the bench) and run to my grandparents apartment that is relatively close to the shopping center. We looked over the railing to see if the man was still sitting on the bench, but he was gone. We had lost him, I was still standing in fear that we no longer knew where he was. My friend had then turned around and seen him walking towards us further upstairs. She told me and we ran down the stairs and out the entrance. We didn't stop until we arrived at my grandparents place. When inside we told my grandparents what happened and til this day I still fear what could've happened to us if the older man caught up to us.
I apologize profusely if there was something that was poorly explained, I'm happy to answer questions down in the comments. Also some background information is that on this day the mall was crowded and when this particular thing happened the only thought in my head was to find a security guard, and what happened inside the jewelry store when I said the cashier had nice hair was just to calm myself down.
Thanks anyway if you’ve read this far, please take care of each other and stay safe out there!

So I already have severe anxiety about everything but one is using the toilet to take a dump and farting near my partner. I know these are normal things but the smell of mine is absolutely horrific and I don’t want my boyfriend to be disgusted by me. I don’t have a bf yet but I’m scared that when I do, and I take a dump, and idk no amount of air freshener can help the smell then what do I do?

Hey, firstly I have browsed these pages and have gained heaps of great insights, so thank you to all the contributors. Now it's time for me to come to you asking for advice. My (38m) daughter (nearly 2f) is nearly the perfect child. She is smart, independent, eats everything we offer her and is super happy all the time. My wife (38f) and I are always super impressed how she can happily entertain her self and in a large crowd of family and friends she can walk the room with no fuss. The only issue... she is a terrible sleeper, always has been.
We got in a sleep coach early when we was 6 months just when she started rolling, and it worked for a few months (by work I mean she was waking for a feed once through night and getting up at 5am) but then it stopped we even went to a sleep clinic which was a nightmare and actually made it worse. Just after her 1st birthday we got the sleep coach again, this time it was more to do with routine which we follow. Dinner, short play, bath, read books, milk feed (breast) then bed we try and make sure she is awake but drowsy when we put her down. But the last few months she has been SUPER unsettled waking after 1 hour and then 3-4 times per night. I should also add that I do all the resettling to sleep until its clear she isn't going down. Then my wife takes over. When I am re settling my daughter is always kicking and stretching her legs and the only way I can get her calm and settled is really holding her tight and limiting her movement (does this happen to anyone else)
So I am just looking for advice, we are wary of giving supplements (melatonin or the like)
Any tips or hints from all you super mums and dads?
