2023.06.09 20:47 Diligent-Toe-314 Elvanse titration
Hey guys, I’ve been going through titration for the last 4 weeks starting in 20mg,30,40 and now 50mg. 20 and 40 I noticed some benefits of me being able to focus and actually concentrate on one thing at a time but with the 30mg and 50, I hyper focus and very indecisive again also get a bit agitated. I am still due to go up to 60mg and then I think we will decide what works best. Anyone else had similar experiences like this? I don’t really have any side effects effects I sleep still and eat the same. When I go up another dose I feel abit stuck in my head for a day until it levels off and wondered how long does it take for your body to adjust.

2023.06.09 20:46 tasdiqbashar Hogwarts Legacy Should Have Been a Linear Open World [Critique]
I want to preface by stating that I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I understand the developers definitely scrapped a lot of the choices, consequences, features, and story pathways to finish development in a feasible time. However, in an ideal scenario I wish the developers would've completely scrapped the dialogue "choices", building your own character, and hundreds of tedious Merlin trials and other similar activities for the sole reason of boosting play time. Instead, I would've much preferred well-crafted, named main character that was actually memorable, no dialogue choices with just the story the developers wanted to tell, and a much denser linear open world similar GOW Ragnarok that doesn't just drag on the play time. I think I still get nightmares about the Alohomora puzzles and the Merlin Trial animations.
What is building a legacy?
My initial problem is with the title of the game. I never wanted to be myself in Hogwarts. I don't want to build my legacy. No matter how many games have tried to do this, I have never actually felt I was actually myself in these character creators for games. When I play a game and think about legacies, I think of the adventures and funny quips of Nathan Drake, the anger and growth of Kratos, enigmatic soldier of Master Chief, the voice of Max Payne, the stature of Geralt of Rivia, roundhouse kicks from Leon Kennedy. For goodness sake, I think of Harry freaking Potter when I think of Harry Potter. I wanted a well-crafted character (obviously it doesn't have to be Harry) with a great arc over multiple sequels. Even Star Wars for example built up Cal Kestis in the Respawn games. I was excited about what would happen to Cal in the sequel. But after playing Hogwarts, I have no connection to the Main Character who is supposedly supposed to be me and I have no interest in a sequel regarding this character. You would think being yourself would be most engaging, but it never really is. We go to entertainment to escape ourselves, not be ourselves. I can build a legacy in real life not in a game.
Morality and Consequence
SuckerPuch known for Sly, Infamous, and Ghost of Tsushima made a loved morality system in their Infamous series with different story pathways, endings, consequences. If you are going to have to have choices, you need to be able to shape your character and the consequences of each choice need to be nuanced. In Hogwarts Legacy, the choices have zero impact. At first I was incredibly engaged to the Sebastian missions; however, once I realized my choices didn't matter and Seb's uncle would die no matter what I lost all immersion. I would've rather had no choices at all. Ghost of Tsushima perfected this idea. GoT could've easily had a morality system (and SuckerPunch is well known for it) between being the Ghost and the Samurai, but instead SuckerPunch decided to tell the story of Jin Sakai the way they wanted it to be told without choices. Although it may have been better for morality, I respect SuckerPunch for drawing the line at a well-told linear story with true character motivations and arcs rather than half baking a morality system and dialogue choices like Hogwarts Legacy with no discernible main character.
Side Quests and Open World
I would've appreciated a toned down, denser semi-open world similar to GOW Ragnarok with enjoyable not infinite activities. It would've been so easy, the castle is absolutely gorgeous, Hogsmeade is stunning, and they could've just filled the surrounding of Hogwarts with a couple dense, beautiful Hamlets similar to the size of Hogsmeade. It didn't need to be this massive, empty open world. The enemy camps could've also been so much grander if they just decided to focus a good 15 encampments of a larger scale. Even if they didn't change the smaller encampments, if the game had an ounce of enemy variation I would've enjoyed these fights a bit more. Don't even get me started on the Merlin Trials, Balloons, Alohomora puzzles, and Moons. The animations are so useless and the complaints have been so vocal that I can't fathom as to how it hasn't been patched. To make it worse, there is simply no reward for completing several of these side activities. The side missions were extremely boring and fetch questy outside of the relationship quests and the PlayStation exclusive quest.
Characters and Story
When I think of Harry Potter, I think of the relationship between Harry, Ron and Hermione. I think of the animosity with Draco and the Slytherins. I think of smaller characters like Neville, Ginny, Seamus. I think of monumental, unforgettable villains like Voldemort. I think of enigmatic, brutal professors like Snape. For the most part I feel like we got none of that. I wish we had a trio of friends that were well built: Poppy and Natty just feel so half assed and boring. Sebastian was the only interesting character but even then I never got the wholesome feeling of high quality cutscenes in the great hall with close friends that actually had well written dialogue. I thought we would have a rivalry similar to Draco through Seb but he just becomes your friend and is always nice. Another thing everyone is ALWAYS nice. There is no Snape like professor who bullies you. Ranrok has a terrible origin story with uninspired motivations that the player can't relate to. If you want to make me care about Goblins, you have to actually show me their struggles and evil side of wizardkind. The story missions are uninspired, and super repetitive. Especially the first two trials. I really loved the third trial though.
TLDR
I've seen a lot of people mention that they wanted Hogwarts Legacy to be larger scale and "build your legacy", but I honestly believe it would have much better game if it was scaled down and focused to a linear semi-open world with true and engaging main and side characters, a denser world with less but more engaging activities, and a more thought out story component. This is just a critique, I didn't mention a lot of what I loved about this game and would rate it an 7.5-8/10.

2023.06.09 20:46 NefariousnessMost785 I don’t know what to do in my relationship
I would like to know if there’s people in a similar situation that can tell me what they decided and if it made them happier in the end.
I’m in a very comfortable relationship right now. Everything is very easygoing, we enjoy each others company a lot and we prefer spending time together rather than with someone else. He’s very thoughtful, nice and does a lot in our home (cleaning etc). He sounds like mister Perfect and he would be if it wasn’t for the fact that we don’t really have sex.
We’ve been having a lot of talks (and sometimes fights) about this subject. He’s almost never initiating sex. I think only 5 proper times in our whole relationship (3year). In the beginning he said I was initiating too much and it made him feel pressured. I said okay I will wait for you than. That’s not happening and weeks and months go by without anything.
When we have talks about sex, he’s saying that he’s willing to do it and that he doesn’t really know why it’s not happening. Sometimes it was work, sometimes bad mood for months and sometimes just no reason.
I absolutely don’t think he’s cheating, I just feel like he has a low interest in it (while he claims otherwise).
I feel so torn, because I like him a lot, but I haven’t been satisfied for a really long time now and I feel like it won’t ever be very different… While I do picture a future home and potential family with him.
It feels so stupid to break up over lack of sex, but then again it’s the only thing that makes a difference between friends or lovers.
Please let me know what you did or what you would have done in my situation.

2023.06.09 20:46 Happy_Ad7331 Family dog
I had been working for this family for around 6 months, they are nice and even if they are always around I learn how to accept that. My problem is the family dog, she is a lot, when I accept this job they mentioned her and asked me if I could walk her a couple times a day, I agreed because I like dogs a lot. The dog doesn’t listen to me she has a lot of health issues and I do feel bad but It’s so frustrating to have her all day. To start I didn’t know she was going to spend so much time with me. She is always doing something she is not supposed to be doing and I always have to be correcting her even when she doesn’t listen. Especially since they don’t pay me any extra dollar for her. Today the parents leave (which they never do) and she is super weak, can barely walk straight but doing so much! I have the baby with me and can’t take her out. They leave me with a lot of responsibilities and no support to do them. What should I tell them? I’m going to stop working for them in a couple months so it does work to tell them anything

2023.06.09 20:46 Hardwayaround4me Beautiful...
Beautiful...
What do I say? well I will say thank you.
I am not going to let myself react or be triggered like I always seem to do with you when you play this hurtful game of yours like you've chosen to do for the past year. You know I felt guilty for writing the post where I had called out the game playing and the purposeful triggers you throw at me. Now you your back to making me feel shamed and worthless huh?
Maybe my singing is awful, Ive never thought is was good enough to ever let another person hear it, well except you. And you've had nothing nice to say about it, and thats your choice to be hurtful to try and push me away because your scared of your feelings possibly, I am not going to pretend I am intelligent enough to know why your being like this. All i can seem to do is absorb it, kind of like the guy from green mile did with peoples pain, that is what it reminds me of when you write your hurl your hurtful things at me, I just absorb it, and continue loving you.
Thank you for treating me like you re the past few days but shoving your motivational agenda down my throat on the other hand, classic... appreciate that. Does that make you feel justified? lol... does that make what your doing all better for you?
Have you noticed it isn't working at all? Have you not noticed its hurt me exponentially more every day you continue? yes you have... and that is the reason i think your doing this.
If it hasn't sunk in with you yet, it really doesn't matter how much you hurt me, you see when I was a very small child, I had this Fred Flintstone punching bag, and no matter what I did to it or however hard I kicked that giant piece of off gassing plastic, it always, somehow got back up and was ready to be punched again. I beat the ever loving snot out of that Flintstones punching bag my entire childhood. Sometimes it went flat, and it would be forgotten about for a year or two or maybe just months, but all i had to do was blow it back up and it was ready for more beatings. You my dear are treating m,e like that punching bag. I am going to keep coming right back up. So I guess just continue beating on me as you already are sitting here doing again, and choosing to do this instead of speaking to a fucking friend who has been there for you since we were 16 years old. When your family passed away, I came running to help you, fucking running... I wont even get into that, because it hurts to think about how you ignored me on purpose. But regardless I popped back up didn't I ? Just swaying back and forth waiting for the next blow.
You know when I initially got my little feelings hurt about your off key comments and what not, in my mind i was being just as hurtful back, and was thinking, I'll say this or that to get back at the punches that are being thrown at me. But I chose not to... I was thinking of saying something equally as hurtful back, but it wouldn't be the truth, it would just be lies to hurt you back, because the truth is...
Back in the day you used to tell me about playing the piano for me years and years ago, and because I use music as a way to feel or express, it rocked me, something I will never forget being told because nobody has ever done anything like that for me or even said anything like to me. I still haven't had the chance to hear you play the piano, or any other instrument for that matter. But no matter how good or however not good you were or are, it would be and is still is one of the most beautiful, things ive heard. Even if you absolutely sucked, it would sound amazing because it was from your soul to me, it would sound like a heart that loves me, and i would never say anything to ruin that. So thats why I couldn't do it... but you know what I am just like that Fred Flintstones punching bag... right back up in your face for more. I just want you to know that about the piano G. Even if you are just randomly trying to hurt me with words.
As long as this has gone on, you would think that by now you would see that what your doing is not working in fact its pretty much the opposite. You have and still refuse to communicate direct clear manner, and you continue to hide on the internet. It is hurting me, It has hurt me the entire time it has happened and this is clear facts. Yet you sit there and continue to manipulate me and the situation so you can stay hidden and lie. Your being dishonest, yet your criticizing and judging me to a point to where your hurting my mental health and you still refuse to have a single conversation with me for no good reason at all. You can throw all the "motivational quotes" you fucking want at my internet feeds, or whatever, it doesn't make your actions any less hurtful G. I feel this is the reason I am in this mental state I am in right now. You want me to stop doing things? yet your actions or lack of destroy me break me down and they have continued for over a year? I have not lost sight of the stupid things Ive done in life either this isn't me shifting blame, or looking for a new supply or whatever shit your PhD having ass is going to throw at me, this is simply because you refuse to talk to me.
You don't want to believe it or listen to it right? right... There are what 15 years of proof that what I am saying is absolutely correct, I do not give a rats ass what text book bullshit you are going to attempt to throw at me or say to prove me wrong or make me think I am wrong, You are wrong...there is flat ass proof of every single god time time you have ghosted me in 15 years of data that prove this exact statement. It has happened every single time without fail without a doubt from day one to the day it ended every single time PERIOD. You are more than aware of this, but you purposely refuse to do a single thing to help it or make it right as you know you should do.
I am not sitting here feeling holy than thou either, I understand I am currently making mistakes, its not intentional and you know this. I have been thankful for a lot of the things you point out but at the same time, this hurtful game of yours is more counter productive. I am not blaming you for anything, other than what I am saying here. I am not blaming anyone but myself for the my actions or the situation I am in because of my getting lost, I am lying in that bed i made, am I not. You seem to be the one lying in a bed you don't want to be in, honestly you should come and wrap up in a hug and lay with me. ( I wish right...) But you know...? No matter how hurtful you get, you are not even close enough to being bad bitch enough to destroy my connection, or my heart and deep love. Your not going to crush the fact I want to grow old with you, just like your going to hurt that Fred Flintstone from wobbling back up again.
You've tried to let the air out me it doesn't work. you can poke all the hole you want in me trying. I will get up every single time and wait for more. So please keep punching keep swinging, its all just because your avoidance to have a conversation with me for over a year. All those times before i never gave up and I sure as hell wont now. So thanks for the beating G, I love you too. If your going to continue to hurt me like you have and are currently doing then i guess you are... you know dam well your hurting me just to avoid talking to me for some reason yet you love me. lol So thank you for the fred prior motivational stuff, lol... it helps so much, lmao... just keep punching and kicking ole Fred in the face.

2023.06.09 20:46 bearsncubs10 Going to the Randolph Gym
Walk through door. 100% ID check when not in uniform. Show ID. They don't care. Copy, checks.
Go to locker room. Immediately bombarded by 12 old man dongs. I've tried different times of day. Does not matter. This is the standard.
Go to locker. Get flanked by two people. WTF, there's like a gajillion lockers here, why you crowding me?
Hit the track, gotta get some cardio going before getting swole. Old people in the left lane. The sign says walkers on the outside of the track. These rebels walking on the inside of the track. Passive-aggressively run past them on the right and immediately run in front of them. *that'll show 'em*
Half the track as A/C, half doesn't. Don't know why. Maybe they don't have money? But they had money to repanel their perfectly good basketball floor? and exchange out like 69 treadmills/cross trainers/Jacobs ladders/rope machines/BDSM trainers? Can we at least get Wi-Fi? No. Wat about A/C? Also no.
What is everyone looking at on their phone? This place is a faraday cage. I can't even get memes, let alone tunes....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
Stop running. Time to lift. It's leg day, and bros dont let bros skip leg day, so lets hit it.
(Checks squat rack 1): Some old dude lifting ungodly amounts of weight. Ok.
(Checks squat rack 2): Also taken, but petite lady squatting more than me. Respek.
The Fuck? Only two squat racks? This place is massive? "Oh, we have more leg exercise equipment over here".
I've never seen these machines in my life. Some people squat forward, some people use it backward, some people 69 on it. This is Randolph.
Let me just do some leg extensions then.
(Checks leg extension machine 1): Old lady sitting there talking to another old lady.
Shit or get off the pot grandma. FFS
(Checks leg extension machine 2): Some teen chilling looking at his phone.
This shit again? What the HELL are they looking at?? I have "SOS" on my phone.
Walk to the pseudo squat racks, the assisted ones, you know, the ones that only go up and down. Slap some plates on there. Maybe a little more because these are the loser racks. Damnit, am I a loser? No, its the others that are losers. They probably skip leg day.
Knock out some sets. Don't know where to look because there are mirrors everywhere. Don't want to get tagged as one of those losers checking people out when they work out. Try not to grunt. Still grunt a little. Legs are tired.
Go to check leg extension machines again. Do a double tap on these quads. Both machines still taken by old lady and teenager 25 minutes later. Figures. They probably sleep there.
Workout complete. Nice. Stumble to locker room 'cause legs are jelly. Only 10 dongs this time, not bad. Post workout shit is nice. Wait, stall #1 is broke since...*checks ticket*....1989? Other stall is locked, no worries, 3rd stall is the charm as they always say. FUCK. It's broke too since...*checks ticket*....2003? Okay, there's another bathroom here. Leave locker room. Go to other bathroom. Check stall #4. Broke. I guess I cannot shit in this gym. Squadron will be evacuated just like my bowels.
Walk back to the locker room. 13 dongs. Get towel and soap for the showers. Half the showers are taped off. Cool.....cool cool cool cool. Go to an open shower, pull knob. 18 bugs fly out of where the knob is for the shower. Join their friends all over the wall. Everyone always said you were a loner, but look at you now: Hanging out in the shower with 45 bugs, and 3 old dudes. Who's laughing now?
Stop shower, dry off, head back to locker. Put in code. Code does not work. Put in code again. Locker says "Fuck you". Have to walk out to front office in my Bucee's towel and flip flops to get the special key to unlock my locker. "Have you tried the code?" No, I haven't sire, thats a BRILLIANT fucking idea. I really just wanted to saunter out in the middle of the gym in my towel just to show off this brilliant body made in God's image. He uses special key to open locker. Say thank you.
Get changed and packed. 'Twas a good workout. Looking forward to Chest/Back workout tomorrow.

2023.06.09 20:46 nomadbaby My 23F bf 24M got me having trust issues
So it's gonna be a long post, but I can't really share this with anyone, and I hope to receive some words of advice as therapy doesn't help. I know therapy should be more useful than comments from people I don't even know personally on Reddit, but still, I have to let it out smh. Me (23F) and my bf (24M) are together for almost 5 years. We met when we were 18 during freshman year, both studying abroad, but from the same country. He made the first move, flied after me around the globe even though only knew me for 2 days. I met his family after 2 months of dating, we lived together from time to time, he tends to help me financially even if I don't ask. So we were both very serious about it all. We broke up in December 2021 until June 2022. It was by his initiative and it was extremely painful for both of us. Also, both of us were more than sure it's over. Like, this is the last time we talk. We were turning kinda toxic back then, esp me, and he couldn't bare that emotionally. I admit I was reeeeally emotionally draining, like a vampire sucking the energy out of him. I was really heartbroken, you can't imagine (I suppose there are people who can, but you always feel like nobody ever experienced pain like this yk). I suffered a lot, can't remember a day in the first 2 months after breakup I wasn't crying. He left the country for an internship in Europe (we study in Asia) but texted me from time to time with ambiguous context, that was giving him away that he still loves me a lot, even though tried to prove me otherwise. After ~6 months he came back and said he was thinking about us all the time and wanted to get me back, and talk this face-to-face, that's why he didn't say he wants me back earlier. So, quick math, technically HE thought we are over for ~3 months. When he came back he told me the truth that he slept with his best friend. He was super drunk, high and all, and made this mistake. For y'all to understand, when we were in relationships I made a lie that I slept with another guy, even though we didn't do ANYTHING, I was probably trying to get attention (who was still my friend, so we stopped seeing each other after that lie) before him, and he said his trust is broken and broke up with me but for like 3 days. So when I heard about it I had a PA, ngl, it was an awful thing to hear. He said she started developing feelings for her, they were friends for like eternity, I kept being friends with her after we broke up, she supported me back then, and btw never demonstrated any kind of affection towards him (that's fs, I'm not blind). I've been always supportive of their friendship, because imo if a man can communicate with a friend who's a girl and not see her as an object for sex or relationships - it's great! I also still have guy friends. He said he knew they can't be friends once he realized he wants to try to get me back because once we texted during our breakup I told him I'm not gonna sit over there waiting for him to come back. I'm not some kind of a home dog you can get whenever you want and he knows it. He said he knew I wouldn't be OK with them staying friends, and he wasn't OK either, he told her her feelings are not mutual and he doesn't like her at all. I told him to cut her off and never see her again, even though thye have a lot of friends in common and she was like his closest friend, and he said if it's gonna prove me I'm his number 1 priority, he'll do it. As you can understand it's been a year since we got back together, and I still can't get over the fact that he slept with her. Even thinking about it makes my blood boil. I can't understand how could've he slept with someone AFTER ME, when you experienced how it feels like to have sex with the love of your life, I don't care about anyone before. ESPECIALLY that she was his best friend, I don't think if it was any random girl it would've concern me that much. I became so much insecure. I hate my body. I think about her all the time. He told me that sleeping with her was a mistake and he didn't like it because he doesn't feel anything towards her. That intimacy with me is the only thing he really wants to happen in his bed. He treats me like a queen, honestly, constant gifts, help, calls, compliments, care, coming up with romantic dates, he's SUPER loyal, doesn't let anyone even make a joke about me, isn't ashamed to show affection towards me in front of anyone, works for our future together, plans to marry me soon, move in together, etc. But I just can't get over it. I'm crying myself to sleep because I'm tired of discussing it with him, and I'm sure he is tired as well. He is currently working for US, and I don't wanna make a scene, but I am really suffering. I am so tired, I can't help myself, and neither does anybody else. I am so afraid that one day we'll get married, move in together, and I'm just gonna overthink at nights. I never had trust issues, never had problems with self-esteem, but I feel like I am destroyed now. How can I trust him having girl friends anymore? I can't even stand him around females AT ALL. I made awful things after we got back together because I simply can't forgive him, I beat him twice really bad, and he forgave me. I called him words, and he forgave me. He really wants us to stay together, but I am such an over-thinker. Please really need an advice. What can I do to make these thoughts go away?

2023.06.09 20:45 ghostheartx How to break up in a LDR only 1 month into long distance, 2 months into dating? (F21 - me/M21)
There is a lot of nuance to my current situation with being in a LDR but basically, I (F21) have been "officially dating" my boyfriend (M21) for about two months now. We started off as friends at the beginning of the semester, we worked together, got super close really quickly, and after a lot of internal back and forth, I decided I wanted to be with him and we started dating.
At the beginning of the semester, I had just gotten out of a 2-year relationship. It wasn't until almost the end of the semester that I realized I likely had not fully allowed myself to process the loss of that relationship. This past semester was just about the worst semester I've ever had. I started seeing people casually, I struggled with some of my closer friendships, I felt severely burnt out, I began drinking more frequently on antidepressants, I had no motivation, etc. Although on paper, it looks like the semester went fine, I'm now home for the summer with no real job related to the industry I aspire to work in after graduation, I barely have a plan for how to build up my profile as a candidate for when I apply for jobs after graduation, and I'm just struggling with basic executive function skills. Now that I'm at home, I feel somewhat worse. I have complicated family dynamics where my family members are often fighting and having emotionally exhausting arguments with screaming, crying, etc. I have less control over my environment, my schedule, and I have less freedom to go out and do what I want to without having to report or check in with someone (my parents). Every time I come home, the environment always has a huge impact on my mental space.
For the first month of our dating, my partner and I were mostly still in school and able to go out on dates and hang out, and I really enjoyed that. My partner is someone I generally can talk to for hours on end, and someone I feel very close to. But at the end of May, my partner left the US and will now be abroad for most of the summer where there is now a 6-hour time difference between us. At first, neither of us was intimidated by this, but ever since being away, our communication has decreased significantly. At first, he was in a structured travel group with an itinerary so he was busy practically the whole day. We called twice, but after the first time, I realized that he would only call at night and would leave the hotel. I thought it seemed inconvenient, but I didn't communicate these thoughts with him, and I didn't ask about it, assuming he would just ask to call when it would be convenient for him. I also became busy with family stuff, and I found myself withdrawing a lot from engaging with him. Not necessarily because I didn't personally want to engage with him, but just more generally. This has become a stark contrast between how we communicated when we were both on campus together. Now it feels like we’re really disconnected.
Most recently, I find myself struggling to find the feelings I had for him before. There are certain things that I know give him more reassurance, but I find it hard to provide them from a genuine place. I can't tell if I've completely lost feelings, or if I just struggle with some level of object permanence and because we haven't been able to really talk face-to-face, even on call, that I'm just forgetting what we used to be like. Or if it’s just also because i’m not good with myself. The last time we called, we talked about how I was withdrawing, reaching out less, how I've been spacey, I drop out of conversations sometimes out of nowhere because I get distracted by things, etc. I told him I would try, but I honestly haven't very much. Part of my rationale in wanting to pursue this relationship was because I believed it was possible to work on yourself while being in a healthy relationship, but I am struggling to be a good partner in even the most basic of ways. I've met his mother and sister, even had dinner with them casually, and I feel like things would be so awkward for me to break things off because he would likely not really understand why things devolved the way they did (I don't really either). But I honestly feel like I'm being dishonest to let things continue. How should I break things off? I’m not really even sure I could explain in depth every reason why I don’t feel like things are working. Is it best to just be direct and straight to the point that this isn’t working for me?

posted a few weeks ago about recurring replacements for cards on my Amex account. I'd specifically had my Platinum card replaced 4 times in 4 years which I found really odd since I don't do anything particularly risky with the card.
Well, a few days ago, I had fraudulent charges show up
again on my two week old Platinum card and was truly confused. I had never physically used the card. I'd used it via ApplePay a few times for travel purchases but nothing else - no online merchants, no in-person taps, inserts or swipes. The fraudulent charges were at CVS, Walmart, Gap, and a few gas stations in and around Miami, FL where I haven't been in several years. I was traveling and only noticed when I got home. Over four days there were 11 approved transactions worth around $1,800 total. No authorized users on the card, etc. How could it have been compromised so quickly, and why only my Plat amongst all of my cards?
I called Amex and asked to speak with someone who could give me a little more info about fraud on the account, rather than the standard-issue dispute and replacement I'd done 5 times already. Well, after 60 seconds looking at the account, the more senior person on the Fraud team told me that all of the fraudulent charges on this card and
all of my prior replaced cards were actually coming from my very first Platinum card from back in 2020! I knew that as a courtesy Amex approves charges from merchants with prior recurring transactions, so that Members don't have to replace their card info at numerous sites. But apparently they actually just allow
all charges and simply replace the physical card and virtual ApplePay card.
So, no joke, I've had five Platinum cards issued over fraudulent charges thinking that each time my new Plat was being compromised somehow when, in actuality, one card was compromised four years ago and that cloned card has been used repeatedly. I truly could not believe that I'd gone through the hassle of replacing the card over and over again because some jerk in Florida with a cloned card can just swipe away and get charges approved on a card that I'd thought had been closed years ago.
So, if you have repeated fraud issues on your Amex, it's worth asking the Fraud team to check to see if they're truly on your replaced cards, or if they're on older still-active cards. If so, Amex can fully deactivate the old cards to block any future charges. Absolutely mind-boggling. But, thought I'd share as a DP for anyone with a similar issue.

2023.06.09 20:45 Responsible_Ad_6702 What is the most fulfilling way a human can spend thier life ?
23 yrs old and have been thinking about these questions non stop the past 2 years of my life leaving me directionless.
I've been dealing with the question of the meaning of life or more accurately what is the most fulfilling/optimal way a human can spend their life. So far my research and reflection has brought me to three conclusions 1. Nothing matters in the big scheme of things so just do what you enjoy / you have to just create your own meaning in life. 2.All that matters is being in the present moment as much as possible, not letting life slip by worrying about the past/future problems. 3. Going back to living as closely as how we evolved because that is our truest form, rejecting modern ways, simplify your life to where you only care about and being content with food,water,shelter,sex,some friends and community. Think Like early tribe life ,henry david theoreau or Dick proenneke.
But these conclusions are filled with paradoxes and issues. They are not practical or grounded with reality in day to day life.
Example 1 Do what you enjoy. Wouldn't this just lead to natural human behavior of the endless treadmill pursuing fleeting pleasure ?Once you get that shiny new toy or travel to that new place your mind just starts looking for the next experience to top that. or really just lead you victim to advertisement/consumerism. Isnt things you “want’ to do(other than basic survival needs) just things you've convinced yourself because you've seen other people doing it..
Example 2 Being in the present, it seems impossible to just be present all the time. What about tomorrow's bills , tomorrow deadlines , tomorrow's events. Are you just supposed to forget about everything and decide to sit on a park bench and be present till you die? Is the most fulfilling purpose really just trying to get into a state of mediation 24/7 ?
Example 3 Going back to nature , well i've realized this is mostly just another ideology firstly but It obviously has lots of holes in it. Mostly the biggest problem its a direct contradiction of my first conclusion. How are you supposed to be fully content in life with just the most basic survival needs but also living life to the fullest pursuing all these things you would get enjoyment and thrill from ?
I guess I'm just scared of getting to the end of my life realizing I was putting effort and focusing on the wrong things .I'm just looking for someone who has more life experience or has been down this thought path before that can offer some advice ?

2023.06.09 20:44 Lucipurrrs r/StardewValley will go private beginning June 12th, joining other subreddits in protest of Reddit's API changes
Hey there,
StardewValley!
TLDR: As some of you may already be aware, Reddit has announced upcoming
changes to their API that could drastically impact the community. These changes will directly affect users, moderators, and third-party developers. As a response, there is a
growing list of communities who have come together in protest.
StardewValley will be joining these communities and standing alongside those who will be seriously impacted due to these changes. Starting June 12,
StardewValley (and our sister sub
StardewValleyMemes) will participate in a subreddit blackout alongside the listed communities.
What is API and Why Does it Matter
API (Application Programming Interface) is a service that essentially allows one application to "interact" or "talk" with another application.
API Calls or API Requests include everything that a user does from making a comment/post, upvoting/downvoting a post, loading posts/subreddits, blocking users, filtering content, etc.
Why Does This Matter? In the case of Reddit, the Reddit API allows third-party applications such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Reddit for Blind, Luna for Reddit, etc to "interact" with Reddit communities. These applications make API Calls to moderate communities, make Reddit accessible, or allow for a customizable Reddit experience. These third-party applications provide aid for moderators and users across Reddit as a whole. Without this API, these third-party applications would struggle to operate.
What's Changing
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced that there will be some major changes to their API. The changes are simplified as follows:
- API Rates Increasing: Reddit's API for third-party applications will transfer from free usage to a paid model. Rates will increase to $0.24 per 1,000 API calls.
- This seems cheap to the outside user, but consider a large-scale application like Apollo. They reported that with this new change, their application would cost $1.7 million per month or $20 million per year to maintain operation. A number that is unfeasible for the average developer.
- As a result, developers may be unable to support their applications due to the increased rates. If developers choose to increase their prices to compensate for this change, it's highly possible that their user base will disagree with dramatic price increases just for the developers to overcome the changes.
- Ad Blocking: In the upcoming update, Reddit will be blocking ad revenue from third-party applications.
- Some third-party applications (like Reddit is Fun) rely on ad revenue for a majority of their revenue. By removing ads from third-party applications, they're forcing paid subscription models onto their user base.
- These changes will be implemented on July 1, 2023.
- These changes are happening in a 30-day time span, making it incredibly difficult for applications to properly increase prices or incorporate the paid model into their application. 30 days is not a long enough time for these changes to be made.
Why the API Changes are Harmful
These changes are harmful for a multitude of reasons, and can be broken into three categories:
- Users: A majority of third-party applications make Reddit accessible for users, or allow them to customize Reddit for their own, personal experience. Applications like Reddit is Fun - an unofficial Reddit client that makes browsing through Reddit a more enjoyable experience - allow for a customizable experience. Additionally, applications like Reddit for Blind - an application designed for screen-reading users - allow Reddit to be accessible.
- Moderators: Many moderators and communities use third-party applications to help run their communities. Without these applications, large-scale communities may find it difficult to moderate content and respond to mod mail properly.
- Developers: Because of these recent changes, Reddit has made it increasingly difficult for future developers to have the opportunity and resources to make third-party applications, as well as make it impossible for many large-scale application developers to maintain their applications. There is an expanding list of applications that have already announced they will no longer be supported after June 30:
How it Affects StardewValley We are among many communities that incorporate applications such as BotDefense, an application that aids in bot spam, and archive sites such as Camas and Unddit for post/comment retrieval. These applications utilize API and the upcoming update may be detrimental to them. While we, as a community, are not nearly as impacted, we believe that this change is harmful and want to stand alongside other communities that are impacted.
Open Letter and Blackout
As a response to these changes,
an open letter has been released. This open letter will illustrate a more in-depth explanation of the situation and may offer you a greater understanding on why this change is so impactful.
To show our support as a community,
StardewValley (and our sister sub
StardewValleyMemes) has opted to join the blackout beginning June 12. A blackout means that the subreddit will be privatized and users will be unable to interact with the community. We hope that by joining the protest, we will make enough of an impact to influence Reddit to change their decision about these upcoming API changes.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please voice them in the comments below. We will do our best as a team to answer any questions that may come our way. Additionally, feel free to discuss these changes and the impact they have. We would love to get the communities input concerning the future update.
Sincerely, The Mod Team

2023.06.09 20:44 North_Barracuda_7738 Help
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts and hopefully you guys can use some of them or even share some of yours. This years hunt has been on longer than last years already, and I think a major reason for that is people’s reluctance to share ideas. Last year many more people were posting their thoughts and ideas which I think helped it get found much quicker. If you have a trail where everything matches up, don’t share (I wouldn’t either) but if we can compare and contrast ideas it will help ALL of us narrow it down. Anyways I’m going to list my thoughts on each line of the riddle below.
Transcendent I think means old town maybe where pioneers were.
Crack open the books they’re interdependent. This line has me stumped the talk of books, mark, and heaven all make me think religious books but I doubt they would do that.
Lift up your eyes and look for the mark. Maybe one of those rocks with a letter on it or statue Moroni on a temple are my ideas.
Hike to the tree without bark makes me think it’s one of those disguised cell towers.
Pass the grain tower, this one goes either way for me. Either it’s a grain towesilo or obviously represents something else.
Not more than an hour. This one seems pretty easy once you get to the top it won’t take more than an hour.
Look down at your map to not wander with thirst. Same with this one seems like it’s just by water.
Remember two less than on top of the first. This one has me stumped as well.
You’ll know you’re close where it’s time to frown. The only thing I could think of is possibly near a cemetery.
What points towards heaven but is upside down. Makes me think of a telescope when you look in one the picture in mirrored/upside down.
Airplane with no wings. Could be a train, helicopter possibly the shape of the trail.
Last one seems self explanatory.
Anyways those are my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think. Also what your ideas are please!!

2023.06.09 20:44 Traditional_Kiwi_752 how do i get past things that bother me about my boyfriend
i love my boyfriend (24m). he’s good to me (21f) and we have a good bond. it’s just that there’s things about him that bother me and i didn’t realize how much those things bothered me until recently (almost one year into our relationship). i’ve had a lot of relationships so i pretty much have it figured out what i need and want, and he has almost all those boxes checked. but one thing that really gets to me is his ignorance. we have pretty differing political views. i wouldn’t say i’m very strongly on one side or the other, but nonetheless i’m always an advocate for being kind to everyone no matter what gender, race, religion, etc someone is. and that opinion leans more toward the liberal side (which he is very much not). but he openly is judgmental and rude towards people who are not like him (not to their face but around his friends, family, me, etc). i used to get annoyed by the type of people who would get super offended on behalf of other people, but now i’m beginning to feel like i am one of those people. i just want my boyfriend to be kind. not just to people’s faces but behind closed doors too. i want him to have empathy for others. and i’m sure he does, because he has a kind heart. i wouldn’t be dating him if he didn’t. but for whatever reason, when he’s around certain groups of people he feels like he has to act a certain way. he wants to be the one who makes everyone else laugh even if that means saying something completely out of pocket. and a lot of times those things he says just sound completely ignorant. however he doesn’t see it that way. he thinks he knows pretty much everything about everything. which leads me to my next point. i absolutely hate when he acts like a know-it-all because him and i both know he isn’t always the sharpest tool in the shed. but sometimes when he’s saying something and i correct him, he defends himself even if he knows i’m right! he just always has to be right and be the last one to say something, even if he’s aware that his point has been proven to be wrong. and that’s another thing that i think he does just because he knows it triggers me. he just loves to trigger people. and i’m growing very sick of it. i love and adore him so i just wish i could fix these things that get to me. and i really hope i can because if not they could be dealbreakers for me. literally all i want is for him to be his true self around everyone. i want him to realize that people will love him and love being around him even if he’s not the loudest and “funniest” person in the room. and i really want to feel like i can relate to him more. some days it feels like we’re two peas in a pod, inseparable, and even alike. and other days it feels like we’re two completely different people with completely different outlooks on things. any advice would be appreciated.

2023.06.09 20:44 Odd-Agent440 HIIT Training
Does anyone incorporate HIIT training while running and if so what exercises do you?
I see the main focus for many people are to monitor times, elevation, and distance.
I'm new two trail running going on three weeks now but I'm addicted. I don't necessarily want to be rail thin. I still have some stubborn pounds to lose around my mid section but mainly want to pack on some muscle. I don't time myself during my daily 1.6 mile runs. I evaluate how much sweat, how out of beath I am, and whether I have left in the "tank" or give it my all.
I suppose I'm asking does anyone trail run with the menality of just going all out in a short distance less than 2 miles (don't have the time to go on 10 mile runs nor could I do that at the moment).
The current HIIT exercises I do are: (1) push ups (2) dips (3) Inverted Bicep Row (4) Leg Raises (5) Russian Twist.

2023.06.09 20:44 throwawayyy46252 The True Literary Genre of Usogui
Usogui is such a diverse and versatile manga that it can be very difficult to really tell what it is "about", what its main overarching lesson is, and what genre it even is. Sure, Usogui is a gambling manga, but to typify it as only gambling in genre does it a huge injustice and fails to answer so many loose questions. I think a better term to use when describing and identifying Usogui is Carnivalesque.
The concept of Carnivalesque was invented by russian literary philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin and is driven by the central ontological philosophy he believed in: dialogics, as opposed to dialectics, which treated language as active forces of civilization rather than systematic and statically defined monads. Literature that can be considered Carnivalesque are among some of the most renowned literature in the world, namely, Dostoevsky and Shakespeare. Being in this same category is one of the reasons why I think Usogui is so widely lauded, and so versatile in its thematic development.
There are four principles Bakhtin outlines in the Carnivalesque:
First, "Familiar and free interaction between people: carnival often brought the unlikeliest of people together, those ordinarily separated by impenetrable socio-hierarchical barriers. The suspension of distance between people encouraged free interaction and free individual expression."
Baku's purpose as a god-like mythological figure and his relationship with Kaji examples this well, as well as Baku's relationship with Souichi as Souichi was also incredibly high status. But on a general level, Baku's status is meant to remain invisible to the reader for the purpose of nullifying or "dissolving" hierarchies, which he does every time he challenges someone high ranking and eats them.
One of the big themes I noticed and appreciated most in this manga which portrays itself as serious, intense, and insane is the importance of the symbol of laughter. I think back on that scene during the protoporos arc with Baku, Kaji, Marco, and Kyara looking up at the sky practicing this same free expression principle, or right before Surpassing the Leader starts in CH.494 when the manga becomes self-aware and comments on the absurdity of everything, bringing laughter and self-expression back in before launching into another intense arc.
Second, "Eccentricity: with the dissolution of hierarchical relationships, ordinarily unacceptable behavior becomes acceptable. Behavior, gesture and discourse that are normally considered eccentric and inappropriate are encouraged, permitting 'the latent sides of human nature to reveal and express themselves.'"
Some examples of this kind of eccentricity in Usogui:
- Souichi - schizoid imagination
- Baku - obsession with kariume
- Manabe - consumption of raw eggs
- Tatsuki - idealization of being cremated, heelys everywhere
- Captain Lacy - balls hanging out, fetish for columbian neckties
- Abi Khan - turning people into weird homunculi
- Fukurou - burning himself for gambling
- The extreme violence of many of the characters may be considered eccentric
- The normalization of gambling is also a normalization of eccentricity
Third, "Carnivalistic mésalliances: the familiar and free format of carnival allows all dualistic separations of the hierarchical worldview to reunite in living relationship with one another — heaven and hell, the sacred and the profane, the high and the low, the great and the small, the clever and the stupid, etc."
Baku is neither good nor bad, the great (Baku) and the ordinary (Kaji) coexist, the clever (Baku) and stupid (Marco), heaven (Souichi; perfected God) and hell (Baku; avaricious "devil"), the strong (Kyara) and the weak (Baku).
Expanding on the permissibility of Baku in the first point, the archetype of the trickster is very important in Carnivalesque literature. Tricksters archetypally represent a supersession of boundaries, and a hidden intelligence that gives them the capacity to cross them at any moment. In Greek mythology this is represented by Hermes, a trickster God who regularly passes between the divinity of Olympus and the inferiority of the human realm to relay messages. In this sense, the trickster is meant to defy higher authorities with their wit and act as a force that equalizes polarities and brings them together, causing chaos. As aforementioned, this is most easily seen in the way Baku takes the most ordinary man (Kaji) and symbolically equalizes him with men at the top of society, or how this is expressed in any of the other polarities.
Baku is, in a sense, a catalyst for chaos to happen, the same way that chronotopes in Bakhtin's original theories are catalyzers for giving words meaning. Without Baku, nothing in the story necessarily has meaning because there is nothing else to catalyze it. On the significance of the word "chronotope" as well, it's direct translation means "space-time". Notice how often Baku plays with time (his final game quite literally being a trick based on time) and uses space to his advantage. Baku is the direct metaphorical embodiment of the chronotope, which is why he himself isn't so easy to understand as a character and thematic symbol, he is the one who gives meaning to others.
And fourth, "Profanation: in carnival, the strict rules of piety and respect for official notions of the 'sacred' are stripped of their power — blasphemy, obscenity, debasings, 'bringings down to earth', celebration rather than condemnation of the earthly and body-based."
A lot of this is supported in my analysis of the first principle. Baku's purpose as a character is to enact this "bringing down to earth" by metaphorically eating these high ranking figures in a battle of wits.
In this is also included another one of Bakhtin's ideas called the Grotesque Body, which is a celebration of the vulgarity and grotesqueness of the human body in order to align more completely with the naturality of it. I refer to the grotesque and completely exaggerated facial expressions and distortions of the body present throughout the manga that exemplify this grotesqueness, which are often in reaction to a massive move made by the opponent, or, in Baku's case, a feint.
Beyond the four principles, more analysis can be made:
"The primary act of carnival is the mock crowning and subsequent de-crowning of a carnival king. It is a 'dualistic ambivalent ritual' that typifies the inside-out world of carnival and the 'joyful relativity of all structure and order'. The act sanctifies ambivalence toward that which is normally considered absolute, single, monolithic. Carnivalistic symbols always include their opposite within themselves: 'Birth is fraught with death, and death with new birth.' The crowning implies the de-crowning, and the de-crowning implies a new crowning. It is thus the process of change itself that is celebrated, not that which is changed."
"Mock crowning and subsequent de-crowning" is a hugely significant motif in Usogui. On a small scale, the protoporos arc exemplifies this aspect of the Carnivalesque - and in a sense, is just like the "play within a play" in Hamlet in that it is the Carnivalesque within the Carnivalesque - with Baku literally crowning Vincent Lalo, de-crowning him, and then crowning himself. On a large scale, Souichi pillars the crown of Kakerou and Baku's entire mission is to de-crown him, and crown himself.
I actually view Souichi as a metaphor for dialectics (Plato, Hegel) and Baku as dialogics (Socrates, Bakhtin). Dialectics imply that there is identity-in-difference - a tree is a tree because it is not everything that isn't a tree - it becomes more absolute. This is Souichi, who in his search for the absolute and perfect truth of himself tries to find identity in differentiating his split egos (Hal, Hachina, Souichi), all the while he is nerfed with a constant forgetfulness of this truth. He is being forced to entertain a plurality of perspectives, thinking each perspective is the "absolute" given his present experience at any moment. Baku's purpose in Souichi's life is to help him realize the instability of absolution, to tear down what is dialectic with a fluid, dialogic way of thinking and being.
"Carnival was a powerful creative event, not merely a spectacle. Bakhtin suggests that the separation of participants and spectators has been detrimental to the potency of Carnival. Its power lay in there being no "outside". Everyone participated, and everyone was subject to its lived transcendence of social and individual norms"
Relates to the fluidity of narrative exposition in Usogui. We don't just see the thoughts and feelings of the players in the game, but those of the referees, or other observers who may be present. Everyone is included, even the reader, who is constantly being misdirected by this plurality of perspectives.
Polyphony is also a Bakhtin concept explaining how a plurality of perspectives creates true meaning. The plot is meant to create the "extraordinary situation" (the gambles) and the differences in thought are "tests" of truth, where everything is given an equal weight. This is exemplified in the plethora of different characters and their character themes throughout Usogui. I notice how when people talk about the meaning of Usogui, they cant tell what the "true" meaning of it is, but rather outline a ton of different themes embodied by a ton of different characters and discuss them in relation to themselves. This synergetic clash of unique themes and characters creates a polyphony that speaks to the human experience as people who are constantly trying to find an overarching meaning and truth to our existence through the exploration of our inherently polyphonic reality. There is no unifying, monologizing, perfect truth in Usogui. There is the question, gambling, and the test of this question in fiction. That is what it means to be Carnivalesque.

At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so
on.As
Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie.)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there,
too.So that's what I meant by the resetting.Maybe 'resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
. "By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.
“They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Movie Wakanda Forever (2022) FULLMOVIE ONLINE

2023.06.09 20:44 E_tu_Robusto How much does the prestige/reputation of MBA programs matter to potential employers.
I'm planning to obtain an MBA with a focus in health administration. I already have a MS (Counseling) and feel the MBA would give me leverage for taking on administrative/executive level jobs in Behavioral Health. Never say never, but not really looking at being a big time exec in other aspects or the corporate world.
With that, how much does prestige matter? I've already basically written off top schools like Harvard because I'm not planning to move, pause my job, or take that type of rigorous program. I have other reputable schools in my city (Pittsburgh), but even the the price is a factor when I can get an MBA for a fraction of the price online.
100% know that schools like Harvard put you at an edge for big business (connections, networking, internships, clout) but what about for a moderate career climber like me? Would any old fully accredited program likely help me reach my goal? What about online degree mills? Anything to avoid or look for as I search? I just don't want to dedicate two years to be laughed out of interviews because my degree isn't "fancy enough", but also hoping to have a reasonable outlook on ROI.
TL;DR: I'm a moderate career climber looking to advance from a clinical background to executive leadership in Behavioral Health. Is a degree from a more expensive "nationally ranked" school worth it or would an affordable online school still help me reach my goal?

2023.06.09 20:43 donttellonme1820 Thoughts on Temple Sealing as a missionary
During my mission, I really went all out on my study. I know many of you can relate. The mission brought to my attention that, "oh wow we all need to get married and have kids when we get back home" idea. It hit me like a ton of bricks while on the way home from District meeting my first or second transfer. Looking back now, its crazy that as such a young kid that mindset was forced on to me.
Because of this focus and hours of study, I was fascinated with D&C 132. And yes I am acutely aware of the mental gymnastics I had when unconsciously glossing over and choosing not to really engage with some of the "destroying" aspects of the section.
I began to believe that there must be something very special or particular about the temple sealing because why would it be so important that we promise not shed innocent blood. (Verse 19, 26, 27) I never attended a temple sealing prior to the mission so I had not idea what went on. I tried to connect it in my mind with Abortion. "Surely it must be that married couples are tempted to have abortions because why would it be so important to promise?" I mean I don't think I need to make anyone promise to not murder. Its pretty easy to not murder!
It was floored when there was not mention of it in proxy sealings. I somewhat wondered if my live sealing would be different and still include the language. It did not. It seemed like a logical connection at the time, I mean parts of the endowment script are in the PoGP.
If I remember correctly, does the not shedding blood deal mostly with the Second Anointing or is it absent even there?

2023.06.09 20:43 GravitationalOno Bike Angels Bait ‘N Switch: Should have known it was too good to be true
| Saw this after getting to double level and headed over, all excited to rack up the points. It was too good to be true. The rack was full because it wasn’t giving up bikes. When I put my key in, it would flash the yellow light, whirr for thirty seconds, and reject me. I got a handful of bikes by grabbing them when people docked. A couple of times, people were also able to take out bikes that had rejected me. Does anyone know what causes this and if there are any tricks to get around it? I even called to ask if the rack was offline and the operator said a few docks were, but there were functional docks. Why were some people able to take out bikes when I was not? What is happening when the yellow light is on and the dock is whirring? In my experience, if I get a yellow for more than five seconds, it’s going to reject me. I wish the docks would just tell me after five seconds instead of forcing me to wait thirty seconds before rejecting me. submitted by GravitationalOno to Citibike [link] [comments] |
