Hello hello.
Okay quick confession: I’ve never actually listened to a season of TAZ. I tried with the first few episodes of Balance, but by then I was already so burned out on MBMBaM (like, 2 or 3 eps a day for a few months) that it didn’t draw me in.
Anyway, I figured I’d have a look and see how long it’s been since the last time I listened to an episode of MBMBaM. According to Spotify, I stopped listening weekly halfway through Episode 529: Throw Me in the Dumpster Behind the Applebee’s When I Die, released on September 30 2020. From there, I’d occasionally listen to a minute or two before bailing and made it all the way through Episodes 553, 554, and 564 before giving up altogether the following week, in June 2021.
0:00 – MaxFunDrive ad read by Justin is basically “I’m not gonna waste my time or yours trying to explain why you should support MaxFun, just give us your money!” and honestly, I love laziness disguised as frankness.
0:44 – I feel like they would have quietly removed the “Travis insists he’s a ‘sexpert’” line a while back but they left it too late and now there’ve been enough weird Travis Moments that it’d make people assume something scandalous was about to surface if they changed it.
1:02 – My music tastes are a little eclectic but mostly pretty basic, with a big emphasis on upbeat alt and indie pop, so I should enjoy the Montaigne song, but nope! At least I never liked the old one much, so it’s not a downgrade.
[Obligatory semi-relevant anecdote: I took a solo trip to Melbourne a couple of weeks ago as a little birthday present to myself, both to visit some friends and to go see Carly Rae Jepsen in concert, since she wasn’t coming here to New Zealand on her tour. Probably the best concert I’ve ever been to!]
1:54 – Already tensed for the incoming Travis intro bit
2:10 – Okay it’s a “we have to raise enough money to save the podcast from being demolished by the local billionaire” joke. And he’s called Dr Guhart (sp?). Fine. I know that premise has been a touchstone of Western pop culture for decades, but I wonder how much longer it can last. Are younger Gen Z kids making jokes about having to win a ski race to save the rec centre? What’s the modern equivalent? Make a GoFundMe that’s immediately drowned out by all the cancer patients? Camp out in the replies of MrBeast’s tweets trying to convince him to monetise your plight?
“[I]f we don’t raise a bunch of money, he’s gonna turn our podcast into a place where they grind up puppies into sausages.” Travis is really good at making his setups sound rehearsed and unnatural. I don’t need a great acting performance when someone’s doing an improv bit on a podcast, but please don’t make it sound like you cycled through every possible combination of evil act and innocent victim before landing on the one you thought sounded the most comically cruel.
2:58 – “If we raise enough money we can legally murder Dr Guhart.” Okay I like this one better.
4:00 – Not to be a killjoy or anything but Dr Phil is a) irrelevant and b) awful. I don’t need a 30-second bit about him with no punchline.
7:40 – Twee Travis comes to the table, in what I can only characterise as his 20% baby voice, with the classic “you don’t have to tweet it; you can just go back to the old-school tweets where you just whisper it to a bird and then you let the bird go and then the bird comes and finds us and whispers it to us.” I am 90% sure he’s said this exact joke (?) before and it’s never been cute or funny!!!
8:25 – Justin’s pre-question bird question feels like something they’ve already discussed several times already but I don’t know if I’m just wired to hear everything they say as derivative.
12:40 – Question 1: How do I show off my yo-yoing skills to my colleague, who introduced me to the hobby, now that he no longer yo-yos?
Seemed kinda promising at first with the stuff about Riverdance yo-yoing, but there were a couple of not-so-comical misunderstandings between the three of them. Justin makes a reference to 'nipple-height as a shorthand for the exact thing they're all talking about and Griffin assumes he's being suggestive for no reason.
16:54 – Question 2: Can I sit in front of the CostCo TVs and just watch an entire movie? Is there anything wrong with treating CostCo as a low-cost movie theatre?
Being repetitive is the most unavoidable of the podcasting sins, but it’s wild to come back to MBMBaM and hear that the questions are still “I want to do a slightly weird thing in public. Am I good?” and Griffin’s immediate response is still “There’s nothing stopping you except the unspoken social bond of our shared humanity.”
24:30 – Ahhhhhhh Travis is trying to sell me on their bonus content. He starts with the $5 level and then passes over to Justin, who was not listening closely enough to know what had and had not already been covered. Never change!
27:27 – They make a joke about how the unedited naming ep stretch goal is worse than seeing how the sausage gets made but they don’t even call back to Travis’ stupid puppy sausage bit. Amateurs!
27:36 – At least they’re self-aware about the BYOP pizza party stretch goal being a bit shit. Not surprised to learn that it was Justin’s idea. Never change!!!
30:30 – “Brown recluse bite. Almost died. Didn’t. Can’t?” Okay this got a wry smile out of me. It’s been said time and time again on this sub, but Justin has a lot of comedic talent as soon as he bothers to put in a teensy bit of effort.
30:38 – Oh boy it’s time for my first ever Wizard of the Cloud segment.
31:10 – WikiHow to Run a Teddy School
This concept has no legs. Griffin’s angle is basically just “Isn’t this crazy??” and, I mean, yeah I guess so, but without a personal anecdote or question to latch on to there’s nothing here for me to find entertaining. From previous episode threads I feel like this is how it always goes, right? A deliberately ~wild~ WikiHow is chosen and then the brothers react to it like “damn, this is wild”.
35:42 – Travis has never seen Paddington or Paddington 2 and I hope he never does because he doesn’t deserve to.
38:55 – Justin and Travis both balk at the absurdity of expecting teddy bears to pass a toy to each other when they’re inanimate objects and Griffin rightfully points out that they’ve been talking about the concept of Teddy Bear School for several minutes now and this is an issue you probably have to make your peace with before engaging with the topic.
39:15 – They double down on this as if they don’t understand how children’s make-believe works. Yes, you’re going to have to physically move the bears yourself! The WikiHow writer is playing in the fictional space of Teddy Bear School. Are they seriously expecting the article to read “using your hands, manipulate the bears’ bodies and limbs to simulate the actions of walking, talking, eating, and playing”?
Griffin concedes the point because he wants this to be over. I don’t concede but I agree that we need to get out of this comedy black hole.
40:19 – Question 3: How can I eat soup powerfully during my lunch hour instead of looking like a peasant? (??????????????????)
Yeah baybeee! This is the MBMBaM content I crave! I love these cart-before-the-horse questions, where you can tell the listener started with the desire to submit a question – any question – and then scrambled to contrive a problem in their life that they could shape into this high-calorie, low-nutrition comedy slop.
It’s a food question, so it’s guaranteed to get a little bit of interest from Justin. The premise is vague enough that it’s easy for Travis to interject with something irrelevant and uninteresting in the name of being wacky. It’s a social dilemma that isn’t really a dilemma at all, so they can hopefully tie it up at the end by gently letting the listener know that they don’t have real problems.
Justin starts off in a strange direction by suggesting that the only way to eat soup powerfully is to eat it quickly, like a starving runaway taken in by a kindly stranger, which is so clearly incorrect it’s making my head spin. If we’re really gonna try and psychoanalyse the power dynamics of eating, I'd say that wolfing down your food signals a sense of desperation, or perhaps a fear that someone will come and take the food away. That’s peak Dickensian peasant! Eating food slowly suggests a) that you’re really enjoying it and b) that you have all the time in the world. You’re in no rush! Everything’s under control and you’re free to savour your delicious veggie soup. You didn’t just make it because it’s easy and it fits with your restrictive diet: veggie soup is your favourite.
42:25 – Travis has a bad idea about eating soup from a tumbler labelled with a soup-related title, e.g. 'Soup Doctor, PhD'. Griffin riffs on this with the mildly funny idea of having “Caught ya looking!” written on the bottom of a soup bowl for when you slurp up the last of it, but Travis ruins it by suggesting that you instead put a picture of you with another soup bowl and a different message on that bowl (he doesn’t provide an example of a funny message). It’s like they’re playing tennis but Travis has a little bit of poop on his racquet.
“Have someone else feed the soup to you” is a decent Travis answer which he then ruins with the pointless addition of a narrative where the listener saved that person’s life in the war.
46:19: Title drop! ‘Travis’s Fast Soup Cup For Boys’ would have made me laugh in 2019. Now it just blurs together with everything else.
47:20 – More MaxFun stuff. I’m kinda tempted by the MaxFun recipe book, for jerking purposes.
51:27 – Least surprising segue into Munch Squad ever. Apparently, this is the first in a while, so it better be a good one!
52:06 – Chipotle has added Chicken Al Pastor to menus worldwide. Cool. We don’t have Chipotle here in New Zealand, but its reputation precedes it.
I don’t share the brothers’ discomfort with using the word ‘protein’ as a catch-all for meats/beans/quinoa/etc. in a meal description. Travis acknowledges that it’s inclusive of non-meat options but says we can come up with something better. To be honest, I don’t even think that’s why I use the term. Even setting aside vegetarian options, I think saying “chicken is my favourite protein” sounds less weird than “chicken is my favourite meat”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
It’s very funny how much of Munch Squad is just Justin being pedantic about phrasing and word choices in a press release he’s reading for free. Oh, they said “craveable” twice? They’re implying that their Chicken Al Pastor might differ from the traditional dish? What a scoop!
55:55 – Buffalo Wild Wings has a Bed & Breakfast. Okay I looked this up and the articles I found were from March 2020 (oof). We also don’t have Buffalo Wild Wings in New Zealand.
1:00:06 – Baskin-Robbins introducing chick’n and waffles ice-cream as the March flavour of the month. Obviously, it can’t have real chicken in it, so the whole concept is terrifying, but the jokes about it are only okay. I actually had to look this one up, but we’re three for three: we do not have Baskin-Robbins here in New Zealand.
I was going to make some comment about cultural osmosis and how it’s wild that I’ve passively absorbed so much information about all these brands without ever patronising them myself, but when it comes to American cultural exports it’s more like active transport (little joke for all you cell physiology nerds out there).
1:04:15: They started talking about ‘Daniel’ and it took me a while to remember from previous episode threads that Justin has been doing a zero-effort Daniel Day-Lewis impression as a running gag lately. Luckily I’ve got him on his week off.
1:08:00 – Did not realise that they started reading random quotes from unexpected sources as an outro. I guess it’s on-brand to finish with a joke where the punchline substitutes mild surprise in place of actual comedy.
That wasn’t an awful listening experience, but if I didn’t write all this stuff down I would not remember any of it. It didn't inspire me to go back to listening weekly, but it wasn't so bad that I'd never put myself up for a recap again.

I am 15 16vyears old and just to make clear, before I used to always want to go sleep late and al that kinda stuff. But now I just want to sleep good actually for at least 22:00 to 06:30. But what the problem is that I already tried it multiple times. I used to go sleep at 22:00. And some times it worked I just go to sleep and I just knock out, but for the most part I am laying in bed like for 2 to 3 hours and then go to sleep. So do you guys have any tips for teens maby?

Hello again,
Thought this "World of LRFFXIII" Timeline segment from the Lightning Returns FFXIII Ultimania (P28-29) might be of interest to you all.
Scans can be found via the "XIII Trilogy Ultimania Collection" link in the XIII Trilogy Ultimania Masterlist thread.

World of “LRFFXIII”

This installment is set in a world 1000 years after “FFXIII”. With the passage of time, the world has undergone great change, and many events are occurring for the first time. Let’s review the events of Lighting’s world.

Progression of the World Thus Far

The impending destruction of the world has its roots in the events of the past. In order to understand the story of this game, we will look back on what led us here.

---

• Supreme God Bhunivelze creates the three foundational gods, Pulse, Lindzei, and Etro and enters a state of eternal slumber
• Lindzei creates humans with the blood shed by Etro, Etro bestows humanity with chaos (=hearts)
  • The Occurrences on the Ground: The task Pulse and Lindzei assigned the fal’Cie was to discover the gate to the Unseen World. As people observed the Pulsian fal’Cie breaking apart the land in their search, they incorrectly perceived this as an act of reclaiming the land. That land was named after the Great God of Pulse---”Gran Pulse”.
• Caius, who has finished the Focus he received as an l’Cie and turned into a crystal, is bestowed the ”Heart of Chaos” by Etro.
  • Influence of Goddess Etro: Etro, who oversees the Unseen World, feels a sense of kinship with humanity, who were born from her own blood, and accumulates power. Caius reverts from his Crystal form, but he is bestowed the Heart of Chaos and rendered immortal, and experiences the pain of repeatedly witnessing the death of the Seeress Yeul who continually reincarnates only to have a short lifespan.
• Linzei’s creation fal’Cie Barthandelus constructs the airborne city “Cocoon” and begins raising humans.

Approximately 1700 years ago:

• In opposition to Cocoon’s pillaging of resources and humans, Pulsian fal’Cie Anima orders l’Cie to destroy Cocoon. (War of Transgression)
• The goddess intervenes in the midst of the War of Transgression, Fang turns back from her Ragnarok form, then Vanille and Fang are crystallized.

Approximately 1000 years ago:

• Due to over-exploitation by fal’Cie, Gran Pulse is nearly devoid of human life. On the other hand, the population of Cocoon is into the tens of millions, and Barthandelus initiates his plan to “cause the fall of Cocoon to cause a large-scale genocide of humans in order to open the gate to the Unseen World”
  • Reason for Cocoon’s Existence: While the fal’Cie of Pulse base their search in physical matter, such as the sky and ground, for the gate to the Unseen World, the fal’Cie of Lindzei are focused on the point where the souls of deceased humans congregate as they head to the Unseen World. Barthandelus has managed the breeding facility known as Cocoon for the purpose of simultaneously killing a massive amount of humans in order to use spiritual matter to open the gate to the Unseen World. However, as Barthandalus’s own focus is to preserve Cocoon, he is unable to do so by his own hand, so he attempts to influence Pulsian l’Cie to cause the fall of Cocoon.
  • Caption: [FFXIII] Barthandelus has his eyes on these 6 candidates as his ”Pulsian l’Cie for causing the fall of Cocoon”.

===FFXIII===

• Serah enters the Vestige and is branded l’Cie.
• Lightning sneaks into the Vestige to rescue Serah from within, but Serah becomes a crystal and Lightning too is branded l’Cie.
• Lightning et al., who become aware of the fal’Cie’s motives, go to Eden to defeat Barthandelus and protect Cocoon.
• Cocoon loses its source of power and falls. Vanille and Fang transform into Ragnarok, construct a crystal pillar to hold up Cocoon and fall into a slumber in their crystallized state soon after.
• Etro intervenes in the human world and restores Lightning and Serah et al. from their crystallized forms. In the aftermath, Lightning’s reunion with Serah is cut short as she’s whisked away to Valhalla of the Unseen World.
  • Etro’s Miracle and Alteration of History’s Course: Goddess Etro conferred a “miracle” upon Lightning et al. to restore them from their crystallized forms. However, Unseen Chaos flowed through the Gate that was opened at this time, and the world is faced with the threat of destruction. Etro uses the forceful method of “turning back the time” to mitigate this. While the world escapes immediate destruction, Lightning is taken by the Chaos as collateral, and a countless number of contradictions (paradoxes) form within spacetime.
• [Valhalla] Lightning arrives at the Temple of the Goddess. Etro’s wishes are made known to her and she resolves to protect the Goddess.

===FFXIII-2===

• [Valhalla] Caius, who plans to destroy the goddess and create a world without time, fights with Lightning, the Knight of Etro.
  • Caius’s Motive: The “Eye of Etro” possessed by Seeress Yeul is capable of seeing the past and the future but at the cost of her lifespan becoming shorter, and is rather a Curse. For this reason, each time Yeul dies at a young age each time she is reborn, and her guardian, who has watched over the many versions of her, comes to the conclusion that the “destroying time would free Yeul from her curse as a Seeress”. To that end, Caius chooses to undertake the method of causing the power of Chaos within the Unseen World to overflow, thereby destroying the concept of time for the entire world. In order to make his plan a reality, he attempts to kill the Goddess Etro, who controls Chaos. Incidentally, Serah is also bestowed with the Eyes of Etro after she is restored from crystallization, and she ends up losing her life as a result of this power.
• [Valhalla] The last human in existence, Noel, is whisked away to Valhalla, and asked to look after Serah by Lightning.

Approximately 997 years ago:

• Serah travels alongside Noel, who has arrived from the future, in search of her missing sister

Approximately 600 years ago:

• In preparation for the day when the crystal pillar holding up Cocoon collapses, the construction of a man-made Cocoon (what is to become the Ark), which is to shelter all of humanity, is progressed under the leadership of Hope, the central figure of the “Academy”, an institution of science that rules over society.

Approximately 500 years ago:

• Serah et al. face off against Caius over the future of the world. In the midst of their battle a time paradox appears and the three of them travel through it to Valhalla.
• [Valhalla] Caius loses the fight against Serah et al. and forces Noel to end his life.
• As the crystallized Vanille and Fang are recovered the crystal pillar crumbles. Simultaneously, the man-made Cocoon is floated.
• After returning to their world, Serah’s time seeing powers eat away at her life and she dies.
• The death of Etro causes the Unseen Chaos to overflow into the world. The man-made Cocoon is abandoned due to its interior being eaten away by Chaos.
  • The Goddess’s Death and Great Calamity: Noel, who is also a pupil of Caius, was the only person who could stop the Heart of Chaos. Caius, who used him to end his own life, succeeds in stopping the Heart of Chaos, an alternate version of the Goddess Etro, and fulfills his objective of killing the Goddess. Due to the loss of the Goddess who held the Chaos at bay, the Unseen Chaos covers the world and leads it towards destruction.
• [Valhalla] Lightning is shaken when she learns of Serah’s fate and is defeated by Caius as a result. She goes into crystal stasis in order to preserve her sister’s soul.
  • Reason for Crystallization: By becoming a crystal, which never ceases to shine even it is engulfed by Chaos, I can keep the memory of Serah alive forever---In thinking that, Lightning crystallizes herself so that she can be an indestructible casket to house her sister’s soul for eternity.
  • Caption: [FFXIII-2] Though an act committed in hopes of someday saving her sister, when she awakens as the Savior, Serah’s soul is not within Lightning’s heart. (TL: It would seem that Lightning houses Serah’s soul into her own heart)

169 years ago

• Sudden disappearance of Hope, who was leading humanity against the impending crisis. With the loss of its leader, the world falls into a state of chaos, and power is seized by the “Order of Salvation” that the people now lean on for support.

13 years ago

• Fang and Vanille awake from their crystal slumber and are put under the care of the Order of Salvation.

Right before the start of the story:

• Bhunivelze awakens Lightning as the “Savior”

===Start of LRFFXIII===

*While Valhalla is not bound by time and the order of the events there are not fixed, we are explaining them in an order that makes the story easier to understand.,

Hallo. Ich habe online zwei paaren von Schuhen gekauft. Die Unternehmensseite , wo ich die Schuhe bestellt habe, hat den Sitz in Österreich und war mit sehr guten Kundenbewertungen gefüllt. Die Schuhe werden für einen Urlaub gekauft, aber kam die erst nach meinem Urlaub. Ich fand die Qualität der Schuhe auch schlecht. Deshalb habe ich Kundenservice per Kontaktformular kontaktiert und gesagt, dass ich die Schuhe zurückschicken möchte. Dem Vertrag oder Widerrufsrecht zufolge, musste ich mich innerhalb 14 Tage nach der Zustellung für eine Retoure melden, was ich gemacht habe. Aber der Kundenservice hat es verspätet die Rücksendadresse bereitzustellen und mit uns darum verhandelt. Letztendlich hat die Firma für eine Rückerstattung angenommen und hat mich angefordert, die Schuhe zuzuschicken. Nach dem Widerrufsrecht sollte sie nach dem Erhalt der Retoure innerhalb 14 Tage Rückerstattung gemacht haben, aber es ist schon mehr als 3 Wochen her und habe ich keine Rückerstattung bekommen. Wenn ich wieder den Kundenservice anschreibe, erhalte ich die Rückmeldung, dass die Ankunft der Schuhe von der Unternehmensseite noch nicht bestätigt ist und noch etwas Geduld zu haben - über Sendungsverfolgung kann ich sehen, dass es schon erfolgreich zugestellt ist. Was sollte ich in diesem Fall machen? Wäre Europäische Verbrauchzentrum eine Lösung? Für eure Hilfe wäre ich euch sehr dankbar

Aproximadamente a los 7 años tuve mi primer contacto con la pornografía. Leí unos cómics porno que mi papá tenía guardados. Era algo raro para mí, pero a la vez me gustaba, aún puedo recordar la sensación de esos días. Posteriormente comencé a ver películas porno con mi hermano. Nos quedabamos despiertos hasta la madrugada para ver películas o series Porno. Y como si todo ello no fuera poco... Tuve experiencias sexuales con una prima a muy temprana edad, 7 o 8 años tenía yo. Mí prima tendría 15 aprox. No quiero entrar en detalles, pero esa experiencia hizo que explotará a temprana edad, mi deseo sexual. No sé cuánto tiempo fueron esos encuentros, ( pero si recuerdo varias veces estar con ella. (No era diario, y seguro no fue más de un año) sin embargo, ello me marco profundamente.
Después de mi temprana exposición al porno, y la situación con mi prima. Comencé a tener muchos pensamientos morbosos a temprana edad, así hasta que tuve internet. (11 años tenía cuando tuve internet por primera vez) y poco a poco empecé caer totalmente en ella.. Primero veía porno y me masturbaba una vez. En ese entonces yo era católico y le pedía perdón a Dios. Le juraba nunca más hacerlo. Pero como era de esperar, esa promesa nunca se cumplió.
De ser una sola masturbación, pase a 2, después a 3 (dirías) así hasta los 15 años, donde tuve un típica decepción amorosa y mi único refugió fue la pornografía. Ahí la cosas perdió todo su control. Me masturbaba varias veces, incluso llegaba a perder la cuenta. Comencé a practicar un fetiche asqueroso, el cuál me generaba culpa, pues sabía que estab mal, muchas veces trate de dejarlo (igual la masturbación y pornografía) pero siempre regresaba, siempre recaía.
Desde los 11 hasta los 24 años. He hecho cosas que me generan mucha culpa (fetiches, ciberacoso, ir mal en la escuela, etc) ¿Por qué? Por satisfacer ese impulso sexual que llevo cargando conmigo desde los 7 años.
No lo voy a negar Realmente estoy pensando en el suicidio. A veces pienso que no podré salir de esto, que soy una mala persona, que si las personas a mi alrededor supieran quien soy realmente, se alejaran de mí. Me siento un basura, un mounstro, un acosador, un pervertido, un pendejo, etc. Se que todo ello son pensamientos, se que esas etiquetas solo me atormentan más de lo que ya estoy, pero simplemente siento que cada día estoy más en el hoyo, sin escapatoria.
He asistido con 2 psicólogos, y no he tenido mucho avance. A veces siento que realmente yo soy el enfermo que no quiere cambiar...
Si bien, pienso en el suicidio... Quiero seguir, quiero buscar un nuevo terapeuta, tratar de enmendar mis errores, ayudar a más gente, reconocer que aún puedo vivir...
unos cuantos segundos de placer sexual Están acabando con mi vida... Quiero volver a vivir.

Guten Morgen,
ich bin nun seit 5 Monaten im „richtigen“ Berufsleben angekommen. Habe meinen Master in Wirtschaftsinformatik und vorab bereits 3 Jahre als Werkstudent in dem Unternehmen gearbeitet. Ich arbeite in einem großen IGBCE Konzern als Tarifmitarbeiter in der IT.
Nun steht bald ein Mitarbeitergespräch an und ich frage mich ob es sinnvoll ist die langfristige finanzielle Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten zu erfragen. Klar stehe ich noch ganz am Anfang aber mich würde interessieren wie die Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten in den nächsten 3 Jahren aussehen könnten (z.B. ob meine Stelle prinzipiell auch für AT in Frage kommen würde)
Meint ihr so eine Frage ist berechtigt oder sollte ich das lieber sein lassen ?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 66%. (I'm a bot)

UNITED NATIONS - The African Union appealed for nearly $90 million Wednesday for its peacekeeping force in Somalia, which is providing support to its military forces battling al-Shabab extremists.
A year ago, the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a new African Union Transition Mission in Somalia, known as ATMIS, to support the Somalis until their forces take full responsibility for the country's security at the end of 2024.
If the AU force doesn't have the funds to operate effectively in the coming 21 months before the handover, Adeoye said, "It may mean that al-Shabab will eventually take over the responsibilities of a state in Somalia."
Adeoye said the current Somali government is doing what many in the past never did - launch a full-scale offensive against al-Shabab instead of responding to al-Shabab attacks - and "There's a need to encourage that offensive onslaught."
ADVERTISEMENT. Adeoye said everyone's assessment is that the Somali forces have "Improved tremendously militarily" and on the political side, where they worked with the AU in supporting elections last year.
Adeoye said al-Shabab has been in Somalia for almost 20 years and it is definitely trying to adapt to a more robust Somali security force.

Mi novio y yo llevamos 5 meses, el sabe que tengo una mejor amiga, el y yo nos tenemos suficiente confianza como para q yo le cuente lo q hablo con ella e igual el conmigo, hace 3 dias fue mi cumpleaños y mi novio decidio hablarle a mi mejor amiga para saber que regalarme, al siguiente dia ellos hablaron mas pero no tenia q ver conmigo, al otro dia el le escribe “estoy aburrido, hablemos por mi otra cuenta” el me habia dicho que me iba a dar la contra d esa cuenta para q viera q no m oculta nada, justamente nos despedimos para irnos a dormir y me di cuenta q esta hablando con ella porque mi amiga me dijo y eso me ha hecho sobre pensar mucho hasta inseguridades me he creado, no lo he hablado con el por miedo a pelearnos o que piense q lo quiero controlar, si saben que hacer en este caso les agradezco de corazon cualquier ayuda

Llevaba una relación de 3 meses con una chica, ahora el caso es que hace no más de una semana un amigo me dijo que ella se había besado con otro sujeto, y yo evidentemente me sentí muy deprimido y furioso a tal punto que ni siquiera pensé en que estaba cruzando por un mal momento y necesitaba que la apoyará, a lo que mi reacción fue inmediatamente pedirle que cortáramos, sin siquiera preguntarle con respecto a lo ocurrido.
La misma tarde ella (en un estado algo ebrio) me llamo diciendo que se entero de lo que me habían contado, y que si se había besado con el tipo, pero fue cuando estaba ebria, y debido a que no le aclaré las cosas con respecto a que éramos pareja. Sumado a eso, platicó con otras chicas que le empezaron a decir que yo era un manipulador, infiel y solamente jugaría con ella (cosa que, si bien nunca fui bueno para las relaciones, no es verdad, prefiero ser yo el que termine lastimado a que yo llegue a lastimar a alguien y en caso de que ocurra, al menos busco arreglarlo). En este punto es donde le pido que volvamos a hablar y resumiendo lo que dije fue -lo siento si fui muy impulsivo, yo no planeo jugar contigo y otra disculpa por no aclarar las cosas- a lo que ella me respondió -se que también tienes problemas, pero no dejes que influyan en tus decisiones. Ahora, no se que es lo que tu pienses que seguirá con nosotros, aún me gustas pero ya no estoy enamorada de ti, con lo que me dijeron sobre ti ya no pienso igual que antes.
Finalmente le pedí que me diera otra oportunidad, aunque queda la posibilidad de que la relación nunca vuelva a ser la misma. ¿Acaso es posible que se vuelva a enamorar de mi?

Hey guys, I'm an international student and i have no clue about UK as such. I wanted to pursue my master's for this September intake (2023).
As the title suggests, I have received multiple offers from these universities with the following courses. 1)University of Birmingham - Computer science 2) Newcastle University - Computer science 3) Cardiff University - Computing and IT management with placement 4) University of Liverpool - computer science I'm more inclined towards Cardiff University at the moment. The course is Computer science related and I wanted to know the opinion of these universities as perceived in the UK (internationally as well).
Another thing I wanted to know was regarding the expenses (living,food and utilities), social life and other general things about the city. If anyone knows about it, please do tell or point me in the right direction where i might find something useful. Please help me out. Thank you.
