2023.03.30 16:32 Fragrant-Gur9582 It feels like my[F18] friend[F18] isn't sentient.
I really don't know how to word this and I tried looking it up online but the only things that would come are AI studies.
For some background, I recently joined a school and became friends with this girl in my class. She's very nice, extroverted, talkative, while I'm quite introverted especially since I was new at the time so it was nice to have someone to spend time with.
The thing is talking to her feels like talking to an AI chatbot. I really don't know how else to phrase it. It's like she just says things to keep a conversation going, and most often than not she's the one initiating/starting it. Today I was ranting to her about something and she was clearly trying to match my energy but the things she was saying were completely unrelated; it often follows the pattern of her mentioning the subject of the topic and then sharing a wild opinion (to affirm what I'm saying) that either wasn't what I was talking about at all or just complete nonsense.
So the thing that prompted this post is this one conversation in particular which sort of crossed the line for me. Some context, there's this kid(10/11 years old) with cerebral palsy, he wanted to buy a lemonade but didn't have money. Later I see him being pulled aside by the school "discipline manager" and gets yelled at for acting inappropriately. I was expressing to her how wrong this was as screaming at a disabled child who just doesn't grasp something wouldn't achieve anything but upset the child. She then begins her statement by saying "Yeah! Like..." and she proceeded to tell me how it's so wrong of the school to not buy a drink for him since he didn't have any money. I was honestly just taken aback by what she just said, not only was it such an irrational resolve it was also not at all what I was talking about.
From speaking with other mutual friends they have also noticed that she doesn't pick up on social cues at all. My friend mentioned how she would always butt into conversations no matter how private they would be, and I'd just remember all the times she'd be reading my texts over my shoulder with a smile on her face then giggling or just going through my camera roll if I open it by accident/or am looking through it on my own. It's never with mal-intent, I genuinely believe that she's just completely socially inept and doesn't understand (or no one's told her) that you shouldn't do these kinds of things.
In any case, I do bring up boundaries whenever I feel like she's breaching my privacy and I've never had a negative reaction from her. I do say it in a lighthearted manner though so she doesn't get too upset as she appears to be pretty sensitive and I'm usually met with an "Okay!" followed by a lough.
Some things I've considered to be the reason for this behaviour is: - she might be on the spectrum, but then again this is the only trait she's exhibited that would indicate anything like that. I have many autistic friends and I've never experienced something like this before. While I know there's a reason it's called a spectrum she's genuinely hasn't displayed any other symptoms, I could be missing something but as of now this doesn't seem to be the case to me. - She is very social and talkative, and it's hard to believe that she's so incapable of keeping a conversation. Maybe she's never had a friend that she could feel comfortable around and having heart-to-heart conversations with however our conversations are usually like this despite the topic, it could be very surface level conversations and she still manages to say the most unrelated/fillenonsense/AI generated responses(I'm sorry I just really don't know how else to word it). - English is her second language, however according to her she's basically known it as long as me and she's a candidate for A-Level English. She speaks very fluently, cohesively, it's nothing to do with her speech itself its literally always the content of it.
What I want advice for is how do I bring this up to her? Should I at all? I think if I do it would seriously upset her as she considers me her best friend and I do want to continue my friendship with her but some things just feel so off and I can't ever really have a genuine, back and forth conversation with her. She's a very sweet and kind-hearted person, I don't want her to feel betrayed but at the same time I don't want a friendship that just feels so superficial. If there's anything I missed please let me know. I just really want to know how I should approach this from the perspective of not wanting to upset her while letting her know how I feel.
TLDR: Friend has very odd and superficial responses that are usually unrelated to the conversation and doesn't understand any social cues. How can I resolve this without upsetting her feelings, should I approach her with this at all?

2023.03.30 16:31 basic_mama Fibromyalgia? Or something else?
Could fibromyalgia be described as a heightened sensitivity to touch? Does it begin with all over pain, or does it progressively get worse?
For the past few years I’ve noticed that I get hypersensitive to touch every now and then, typically about a week before my period. And what I mean by that is like I can feel every piece of dirt on my feet or every hair that touches my face- I feel like I can feel everything that touches me! But at the same time I feel like I have little control over my body movements, like I struggle with fine motor skills such as opening a ziplock bag or fastening a button. Also I feel generally weird, almost like I’m high or drunk. I’m currently feeling this way, and I’m 4 months postpartum so I have no idea if my period is coming soon- I have no perceived end point to this annoying feeling and so I’m trying to figure it out. Am I focusing too much on it? If I ignore it will it go away? I recently had my annual obgyn appointment so I mentioned it to her. She prescribed me Atarax, but it hasn’t seemed to make me feel any different.
Does this sound familiar to you? Does it sound like fibromyalgia or something else?

2023.03.30 16:30 ellxoxooo My credit is linked to my moms, when should I separate?
My mom added me to her credit card (April 2022) when I was in high school to help me build credit. I just turned 20 and am just now trying to be more responsible with the card and learn as much as possible. The card is Discover and the FICO score is 637. It says that her credit history (26 years) is what's helping. Whats hurting is 17 missed/late payments in the last 7 years, a public record/collection filed which apparently stays on record for 7 years, and some delinquency.
The delinquency was probably me but I've been staying below 30% as far as my usage and pay in full before due date. (btw the available credit is 2,800)
I know eventually I'll have to separate our credit accounts. My question is should I do it now? Her credit history is what's helping and the moment that is separated I know my score will drop so I think it's better if that happens now while I still have 3 years of university left and don't really need my credit for anything right now (already have a car and I live on campus).
She saying if I separate I'll have to open a new card. Should I get the Discover student card? I have no idea how this stuff works. Help pls

2023.03.30 16:30 Maygii [Math] Complete Lan Release Guide/Analysis
![[Math] Complete Lan Release Guide/Analysis](https://external-preview.redd.it/BotgFuZuo3-6OcZVp2OyKsFl3k9NDLaFArsobIYpKbA.jpg?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=63f1a5963f113f6b3a0f87a032cb0ee1940ce989 "[Math] Complete Lan Release Guide/Analysis") | Or should I say, Lanaylsis...! (ok ill stop) submitted by Maygii to TowerofFantasy [link] [comments] Lan is here! So, does she save Flame? Let's do our typical analysis~ Video Version[Math] Complete Lan Release Guide/AnalysisTLDR:- Stronger than Fenrir... on the cactus, but weaker in practical situations due to a good amount of Lan's damage relying on enemies to be next to all 3 parasols, as well as Fenrir's superior resist shred in content with resist- If you ignore Fenrir for a moment, Lan is quite powerful and brings a lot to Flame - Despite only having a 2.5s taunt, you can keep aggro pretty well on Lan even as a standalone tank doing no damage (in the testing I did, anyway) Guide/MathWhen hitting enemies with any basic or dodge attack, you generate Parasols near the target hit. You can generate up to three, lasting 20 seconds each, with a 1.5s cooldown between generating new Parasols. When an enemy is near at least one Parasol, they will receive the Corrosion effect, making them take more Flame and Charged Attack damage, and take two DOT effects - one is a static 4 second burn, and another is tick-based on consuming Feathers, which are gained passively when doing damage, and over time.When using Lan's aerial hold attack, you can cause the Parasols to spin. When spinning, these will consume extra feathers per second, and do more damage according to a multiplier known as "Polyfeather Parasol", which is simply 1 + the amount of Parasols you have out - so, this would be 4 in most cases. When the feathers run out, this damage is still applied at the minimum amount. Don't ever use this aerial hold attack for DPS, though, it's not good. Similar to the DOT effect, it doesn't matter how many Parasols the enemies are standing next to for this passive damage - they only need to be close to one, as the damage for multiple does not stack. Lan's skill will make her dash through all the Parasols, which is also an iframe. Each Parasol you pass through will deal damage, trigger Fiery Crash, an explosion for even more damage, and then start spinning each Parasol. You also gain damage reduction and hyperbody for 8 seconds after dashing. Lan's discharge deals a large amount of damage and increases your Flame DMG 1.2%, multiplied by Polyfeather Parasol, for 20 seconds. As such, Lan is a fairly straightforward character for DPS - use her skill off cooldown to get your Parasols spinning for extra damage, and time your charge such that you can discharge on Lan for the bonus damage. When using Lan on-field, you have two options for DPS; basic attacks, or aerial attacks. They're fairly close in DPS, but the aerial attack chain is faster and does around 10% more DPS, and also has the added benefit of not being subject to the red tether that many other aerial attacks have at range.
https://reddit.com/link/126oswh/video/f981cxmwivqa1/player Fortitude Resonance When using Fortitude Resonance, any weapon skill you use will taunt enemies for 2.5 seconds. Additionally, when using her skill, a large AOE is created, giving teammates 20% damage reduction. This effect can be extended by using the aerial hold skill. In practice, however, Lan holds aggro much better than you would think for a 2.5s taunt. Even with negligible damage and only camping Lan, I can hold aggro and provide constant damage reduction for teammates, and then use her convenient iframe skill to get myself out of danger when needed. Even as a standalone tank, she really does her job quite well! Skill was used 10 seconds ago, and I am doing negligible damage, but I still hold aggro. (I did not ever swap to either of the other two weapons during this test) Lan's trait reduces Flame and Frost damage taken by you and your allies inside the AOE barrier by 24%, while increasing final damage by 8%. It's a decent support trait that gives an extra offensive edge to Lan's support capability! That's about it for her kit. Let's look into her advancements! AdvancementsWe'll examine Lan's advancements in three different teams - one with Lin Lan and Annabella, Lin Lan Ruby, and triple Fire (Ruby Lan Annabella).A1 Her A1 transfers 30% of the damage from Fiery Crash as well as detonations from the target to 3 units near it, including the target itself. It also multiplies the ammo usage of other weapons by Polyfeather Parasol, which is a fancy way of saying it makes Annabella shoot out 4 bullets at once, doing the damage, charge, and shatter of all 4 bullets worth. This advancement has considerable value in teams with Annabella, but not so much otherwise. A3 Her A3 makes all the Parasols explode for 30% of Fiery Crash's damage when using any discharge or shattering a target's shield. It also comes with additional utility of reducing the ATK of enemies near parasols by 15%, and instantly spawns 3 parasols when entering combat and dealing damage. This advancement isn't worth too much damage, as it's more for the utility. A5 Her A5 makes Fiery Crash and transferred damage ignore 60% of the target's Flame Resistance, and increases the Flame DMG up debuff from the Parasols slightly. Again, like with the previous advancements, Fiery Crash isn't too big of a portion of her total damage output, so the value of this isn't high, even if resistance is in play. A6 Finally, her A6 grants a huge +50% multiplier on her autoattack damage, making her a much more competitive main DPS - additionally, all the Polyfeather Parasol multipliers aside from the bullet consumption increase from 4 to 6, increasing buffs and damage by a considerable amount. Below are the theoretical gains from each of the advancements. Note that this is not a comparison between these comps.
Next, let's take a look at her matrices, and compare them to other options! MatricesLan's 2-piece matrix increases Flame ATK by 6/7/8/9% and Flame DMG by 3.2/3.8/4.4/5% when you equip at least one Flame weapon, working in the offhand.Her 4-piece set grants a 4/5/6/7% elemental damage % to the respective element per elemental weapon equipped (e.g. one Flame and one Frost will give +7% of each, and +0% to Volt or Physical), and a larger amount of final damage for each altered weapon. This also works in the offhand. How strong are these compared to alternate options in Flame? First, let's take a look at limited matrices. Lan's matrix is one of the strongest options, about on par with Lin's matrix. Ruby and Anna's matrices are similar, but Anna is highly recommended over Ruby for usability purposes, as Ruby's matrix can be awkward to time and stack up. https://preview.redd.it/lzsmof30lvqa1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=271b5d6e38b94beb2885ab4990526694e99f6017 When compared to standard matrices, generic DPS matrices are fairly lackluster due to the damage split in this team, but can be better in an Annabella main DPS team. The new Haboela and Scylla matrices are much better, reaching almost 75% of the power of limited matrices - so I'd definitely recommend farming for them as an alternative! Claudia matrices here have a very high ceiling, but note that to reach this ceiling, you'll need A6 Lin and you'll need to be hitting every cooldown reset (shouldn't be too hard with parasols ticking in the background) and not wasting any cooldown time on Annabella (this can be pretty impractical). Finally, Cobalt's matrices, when placed on Annabella, can be slightly better than standard DPS matrices. https://preview.redd.it/nqzhtvc1lvqa1.png?width=734&format=png&auto=webp&s=86ead04c8f1119e81cc936a1e08389c9319e306d Next, let's look at the rotations and teamcomps! Rotations and TeamcompsAs always, instead of looking at this huge wall of text, I recommend looking at the video. Here's the timestamp for your convenience. In a Lan team with Annabella, there are two distinct playstyles - one with Lan as main DPS, and one with Annabella as a main DPS. While Lan does significantly more DPS than Annabella even before 6*, main DPSing on Annabella has one huge benefit - that is, that you can use Annabella's trait for a huge +30% on-field increase, which benefits all the passive damage from Lin and Lan, bridging the gap of main DPS potential. However, when running Annabella main DPS, it's recommended to have Annabella's matrices, or else you won't have enough dodges to fill downtime - her bulletless dodges are still almost double the damage of her basic attacks or other combos. Because the core of this rotation is very simple - that is, use Annabella's bullets off cooldown, and then do autos on Lan before switching to the third weapon and using the skill if applicable - you can substitute other weapons for Lin and use the same rotation essentially. Let's first look at a rotation with Lan main DPS. Open with Lin's Moonlight Realm, followed by an auto attack on Lan to spawn her Parasols, then her skill. Switch to Annabella and dodge 3 times - yes, three - to compensate for lag and spaghetti code, 3 dodges, or even 4, would be safe to ensure all the bullets get used. Use Lan's discharge, then use autos as well as her skill, for up to total of around 8 seconds, where you then swap into Lin, use another Moonlight Realm, then go back into Annabella to use her bullets again. Repeat this from the Lan discharge. The rotation is very similar with Annabella as a "main" DPS - just dodge on her 6 times per rotation instead of 3-4, and of course, use Annabella's trait over Samir or Fenrir's. So, how do these different comps compare? Let's take a look in the next section! ComparisonsDISCLAIMER! Remember to take theorycrafting with a grain of salt because it's just that - theory! It's not perfect, but it gives us a good idea of where things stand. In terms of Flame teams, the strongest is the Lin Lan Annabella comp. Theoretically, Lin Lan Ruby isn't too far behind, but in practice, Ruby is much less consistent, because of her cube bouncing off to Africa, especially when you go in for Lan dashes. She can work as a copium support, but it's not ideal. Triple fire is also a bit scuffed because you have to give up Lan uptime to stack heat for Ruby, who, at the end of the day, provides less worthwhile buffs and damage compared to Lin, at a greater uptime cost.

But, to keep things consistent with the other builds that just use a perfect 20% Samir trait, we'll use that for this comparison. Lan pulls Flame out of the dumpster and offers more potential damage than Fenrir comps. Along with Annabella, she offers a significant amount of resistance shred, allowing her to do big damage in end-game content - however, in typical situations, where mobs move constantly, you can miss a good portion of your Fiery Crash and skill damage when mobs aren't standing in between your parasols. Lan's cactus damage is high, but in practical situations, she may still pale in comparison to Fenrir, who also benefits extremely in content with resist, as the clone has 0% resistance. https://preview.redd.it/ghg8oai2mvqa1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=a83d480bb4f816ee2b32bd4504961816f371a055 For dolphin comps, excluding the new World Boss matrices, the damage potential of a Lan team is close to that of Fenrir teams - that is, that Flame is relatively a bit weaker when not at max investment. https://preview.redd.it/9pr3p054mvqa1.png?width=737&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f1df214c9ed94bfce360a9682f5692a8ffdfe77 In F2P comps, with A1 and non-limited 0* matrices, Lan puts Flame in a very decent place, barring the anomaly that is the FenSaki team. Technically you don't even need A1 Annabella for this as it literally provides nothing for Lan. This makes Flame one of the most F2P friendly teams to play! https://preview.redd.it/9ng0cx15mvqa1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=e81aaffcc2e31564c0483e395c9566a27b376186 Closing ThoughtsLan is a powerhouse for Flame. She provides a huge amount of passive damage - even more than an A6 Lin at A0 - while also providing debuffs and buffs for Flame. She has some awkward forced synergy with Annabella, but that isn't to say Annabella is mandatory to play Flame - Ruby can work as a suitable sub DPS if you already have her invested in. So, did she save Flame in the way people expected? While that's a bit unsure, at least she's super cute!https://i.redd.it/jmt0drd9mvqa1.gif See you guys next time :3 |

2023.03.30 16:30 No_Recording_4195 AITA for not telling my roommate about lease intentions immediately
If you see my post history, we have had a number of issues. Some of them were eventually resolved. Lease expires end July. I started browsing (literally like 2 days ago). I was going to tell her i that I would not be renewing but is it really a problem to start looking early? She saw my comment.
Here are the exchanges:
her: Hi "name" I saw your comment on facebook marketplace and wanted to know if you're planning to move. If you're please let me know at least a couple of months beforehand as I'll need to make arrangements
me: Hey, yes I am! Sorry I just made the decision recently and started looking around but it's still very early - I was going to let you know this week.
her: Would’ve appreciated you discussing this before looking, but it is what it is
me: I just started looking. I wasn't completely sure either but I was going to at least let you know by April
Am I in the wrong here? I was just browsing. I guess I was also scared to have the conversation because she usually is very sensitive/have to walk on eggshells around her. At the same time I think 4 months is plenty of time (year-to-year lease).

Hey everyone! My name is Malk, I am a fitness business owner of 10 years who has used all the digital apps out there, all the spreadsheets, and have tried many things to help my clients succeed in reaching their goals. As a I've seen the industry change over night as a result of CVD first-hand, I became extremely interested in what makes a "good" app for the users (clients).
Most recently, I have began to shift laterally in the career and focus more on user interfaces in the health and fitness realm studying UX Design. As a current student, I am putting together a case study that focuses on the fitness app My Pt Hub where I am looking for participants for an interview I will be conducting regarding My PT Hub and its features. I am looking to land 5 volunteers for the interview portion. Based some of these posts/replies, and it being a niche thread I believe you all would be great candidates for the interview. If anyone is interested, I can provide you with more details to move us forward through the interview process.
This invitation is also open to any and all trainers, coaches, users, or health and wellness folks. If you are one of those or think you may fall under the niche, please reply to this thread or send a private message! I would be ecstatic to lead you through the interview process and gather information needed to hopefully figure a way to create a better user experience via My PT Hub.

2023.03.30 16:29 GamerBhoy89 Steam Version Doesn't Sync my personal stats/settings/presets - Resets All Other Platforms
So I had this problem last week where I had been playing RL on PlayStation for 8 years, until I decided to redownload my Steam copy. It loaded the last save I had on it, which had 10 minutes of playtime and 3 matches played. It did not sync to Epic Games properly (my PlayStation is the Primary).
When I went back to the PlayStation version, it had synced from the Steam version, and thus everything was overwritten.
Thankfully, yeah, my online stats remain. I'm still level 140 and counting, my personal items, cars, etc., are all there.
But my personal settings, presets -- they all reset.
This was last week.
I was playing it on PlayStation since.
I once again, today, decided to play the Steam version again (I just couldn't fathom why this wouldn't work before, and it bugged me).
I heard that if I turn off Steamsync, it shouldn't reset or override anything.
So I did that, booted up the Steam version, and.... yeah - it didn't sync, and the same issue happened again.
So I don't know wtf is going on. The Steam version just seems to be doing it's own thing without my approval.
I opened the Xbox version - perfectly synced.
I opened the EpicGames store version - perfectly synced.
Steam version - reset, revert, override.
No idea what to do.
If I can help it, I'd prefer to play all my PC games on Steam.
There's no way this should be happening. The Steam version seems to be acting like THAT'S the primary, when it absolutely isn't.

2023.03.30 16:29 NewSupermarket3485 AITA for not wanting to go to the gym with my wife anymore?
I(29M) have been working out religiously for about a year now. It has done wonders for my mental health as well as my physical experience. My wife(28F) noticed my gains as well as how I seemed much happier and she told me that she wanted to go to the gym as well. I said that's wonderful.
So I prepared my wife a basic lifting routine, based on her weight and age, and we set off. Before working out, I told my wife about the importance of warming up and doing dynamic stretches before lifting, and we then started. The problem was that she didn't really want to push herself. I knew she could hit 8-12 reps of the weight I had chosen for her, but she stopped at 6 and complained that it hurt. The thing is it's supposed to hurt, and by hurt, she meant that she felt sore, not that she was injured.
This pattern of behavior continued for the next couple of weeks, she would always intentionally set low weight, or try and skip an exercise at the end of the session, like if it was leg day, she would gimp out on calf raises for example. It was just very intolerable, and she no longer used to smile or talk to me while going to the gym, it was almost like she shut down. I was beginning to think that she is blaming me, so I asked her if she's mad at me. Almost like a floodgate opening she blew up on me. At this point I became pissed because I'm doing a favor and I told her "well I'm not going to take you if you continue to goof off, real change takes work and the gym is supposed to be hard, if it's easy you're not doing it right". I feel like that may have been a bit tactless, and a couple of hours later she's still giving me the cold shoulder.

2023.03.30 16:29 Diligent_Ad_2722 help
Im (15M) am depressed, lonely w/o any friends and abused, let me explain, 2019 was probably the last good yr of my life, 2020 was the year i would leave primary school (or Elementary school) I had many friends and I was still happy, i had to do a test to pass for a high school, my parents took this test seriously, and with that being said, they punched and beat me till my nose bled for making 1 simple mistake in practice tests at home. (I hope this doesn't go under the "violence rule" pls forgive me)
A few weeks later i did the test and place in the top 100 in my country, they were proud but after that would come the worst yrs of my life, fast forward to late 2020 which was when i was supposed to go to school, however covid put us in lockdown and did online school till abt 2022 in 7th-9th grade. Now around now real school opened again but i realised, (idk why it took me so long) that after a few weeks i was still at home, confused I asked my step dad and he threatened to beat me up if I questioned it, months go by, the little friends i made from the online school period messaged me via gmail because I dont own a phone, they were asking why was I not showing up to school, but my mother forced me to block them all.
Now we jump to the current in 2023, im still at home I try to tell them how I feel but it always ends up south, yesterday my dad slapped the living daylights outta me and kicked me on the floor multiple times, I cant take this anymore, my life is a living hell and now im getting a short term job soon and they want $1000 rent each month or they'll kick me out, just had to get it all out bc i have no one, thank you all.

2023.03.30 16:29 FabianValkyrie Pretty set on the 2022 ROG Flow X13, but thought I'd make sure...
Hey y'all, I currently have an M1 MacBook Air that I was given by my work, and while it works well, it's 8GB of RAM is limiting for Photoshop and multitasking, and I want something dual-booted between Windows and Linux. After some research, I'm pretty set on the ROG Flow X13 (2022 for it's size, weight, and solid performance, but I thought I would double check here to make sure I didn't miss anything.)
Here's the form:
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
submitted by FabianValkyrie to SuggestALaptop [link] [comments]
Here's the form:
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
- **Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:**
- Budget is as high as $1500, but I would much prefer to stay lower if possible. I was looking at getting a Flow X13 open box at Best Buy for $750ish
- **Are you open to refurbs/used?**
- Whatever I buy I'd prefer to buy it refurb'd or used.
- **How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?**
- Form Factor > performance > build quality; The battery needs to be able to hit 6 hours of SoT with general light use, (with the discrete GPU disabled) as long as it does that I don't really care about battery life.
- **How important is weight and thinness to you?**
- Thinness is important, it needs to be properly ultra-book thin. Like Surface Laptop, MacBook Air, Dell XPS thin. Weight is also somewhat important but not as much as the thickness.
- **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.**
- 13-14" is ideal
- **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.**
- Lots of Photoshop and LightroomI'd like to do lightish gaming too. RTX 3050 or higher is ideal
- **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?**
- Overwatch 2, Forza Horizon 5, emulators like Dolphin, World of Warcraft
- **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?**
- Not particularly, any of those are good bonuses tho

I have experience that comes from >20 years of marriage, experience that is now sadly underutilized. I'd love to have your company for something very discreet and temporary. About what exactly we'd do together, I'm open to suggestion.

2023.03.30 16:28 STMARV My thoughts on the new album PORTALS (Spoilers)
Just to clarify before listening my ranking for her albums was Crybaby, K-12, After School
Anyway, to start I'm gonna say that DEATH is a really good opener and links to WOMB with its message of life and death so that was a nice detail. Looking back I think death is in the top half of rankings for the album
VOID was amazing - the pacing and structure of the song was really good + Mel's vocals were the left autotuned on this song so that was nice. My one criticism is that I wish on the 2nd chorus or half of the song the instrumental developed more to have a more profound impact
TUNNEL VISION was really good and I think one of the best produced songs on the album (obviously due to One Love lol) - also I feel like the song is very atmospheric and the instrumental is unique
FAERIE SOIREE was the first song that I wasn't completely liking. That goes for most of the album for me, every song has DROP DEAD AMAZING MOMENTS/VERSEs/CHORUSES but sometimes choices in the rest of the song undo that for me. I liked the ending of the song structually but the autotune once again is too jarring also I thought the outro of TUNNEL VISION was actually the intro for this song and was a bit suprised
LIGHT SHOWER is just a chill, vibey song however i feel like it did drag out a bit, the instrumental should have developed more IMO. Also the kettle on the stove lyric was a bit goofy ngl. Apart from that lyrics were good and finally a NON Toxic love song. Also the ending of this song is really cool and atmospheric. AND THE AUTOTUNE ISNT TOO HEAVY so that a positive
SPIDER WEB definitely had good moments. The verses were really good and the chorus beat drop was not abrupt like the one of DEATH so that was really nice. Once again my only issue is the heavy autotune
LEECHES definitely has the most atmospheric instrumental but I feel like it could've developed better. Also, i\I noticed that with a lot of these songs on the album, there are no bridges which I feel would have been good because the songs become repetitive and would have benefited from a shift
BATTLE OF THE LARYNX was really GOOOD, the instrumental was on point and the chorus was really powerful, however once again the autotune was a bit heavy at times. Beautiful lead into the next song too, I wonder who the people in the back are and what they're doing??
THE CONTORTIONIST is probably top 3 on the album and is really AMAZING, the verses are unique and the instrumental pops off, everything about this song is perfection - the pacing, structure, instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics, 10/10 for me. I like how the bone cracks are incorporated throughout
MOON CYCLE for me literally just sounds like a filler track if I'm being honest, although I love Mel is touching on these taboo topics some of the lyrics are a bit goofy and out of place. The instrumental was very laid back and I think it could have done with more development, especially in the chorus
NYMPHOLOGY is probably my least favorite song - I feel like the 1st verse is so good and ethereal but the autotuned chorus ruins it. The spelling thing really caught me off guard too. Like I feel like her goal was to remove herself from Crybaby by killing her off, but this spelling chorus sound too similar to her crybaby aesthetic and is out of place on the album. also, I was a bit sad that the outro wasn't the intro for EVIL - I like the vocal effects on the rapping, and the heavy drum fill at the end would have been cool if it featured in EVIL
EVIL is such A GREAT SONG, the instrumental is really solid and the chorus is so powerful and rewarding to sing along too, also the lyrics most likely reflecting people who leak her songs is a nice touch because i feel like that was something that needed to be said. I love when Mel experiments with these punk pop/rock sounds because IMO it suits her voice well
WOMB to me didn't have an album closer energy, also it was very similar sounding to LIGHT SHOWER and LEECHES. I loved the link to DEATH with the "life is death" and it really ties the theme of the album together. Also a line in the song "And I know my brotheHe'll make the journey later on" is making me think Mel is referencing Crybaby's brother who we didn't see after dollhouse.
Overall, I think this album definiety had AMAZING moments, no song was bad, songs like Faerie Soiree, Moon Cycle, Nymphology and Leeches are not bad songs but a songs with both good and meh moments which with little instrumental quirks and structure tweeks would be really good.
Also my biggest issue with this album is the AUTOTUNE - so many of the songs I mentioned in the parahragh above were really suffering from this - Crybaby, K-12 and Afterschool handled autotune well and it wasn't too confronting however PORTALS was too much imo
As always I love Mel's unique lyric formation and every song is written well, however some songs do suffer from goofy/cringe lyrics. The atmosphere of this album was great and the transitions to each song really tied it together and made it cohesive
As of now after listening my new ranking for Mel's albums is Crybaby, PORTALS, K-12 and Afterschool
My top 3 songs were THE CONTORTIONIST, EVIL, AND VOID Let me know yours??
Also this is JUST MY OPINION so don't give me hate lol
Final Rank on first listen in 7.5/10 (and I'm sure this will increase overtime)

Apart from that lyrics were good and finally a NON Toxic love song. Also the ending of this song is really cool and atmospheric. AND THE AUTOTUNE ISNT TOO HEAVY so that a positive
SPIDER WEB definitely had good moments. The verses were really good and the chorus beat drop was not abrupt like the one of DEATH so that was really nice. Once again my only issue is the heavy autotune
LEECHES definitely has the most atmospheric instrumental but I feel like it could've developed better. Also, i\I noticed that with a lot of these songs on the album, there are no bridges which I feel would have been good because the songs become repetitive and would have benefited from a shift
BATTLE OF THE LARYNX was really GOOOD, the instrumental was on point and the chorus was really powerful, however once again the autotune was a bit heavy at times. Beautiful lead into the next song too, I wonder who the people in the back are and what they're doing??
THE CONTORTIONIST is probably top 3 on the album and is really AMAZING, the verses are unique and the instrumental pops off, everything about this song is perfection - the pacing, structure, instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics, 10/10 for me. I like how the bone cracks are incorporated throughout
MOON CYCLE for me literally just sounds like a filler track if I'm being honest, although I love Mel is touching on these taboo topics some of the lyrics are a bit goofy and out of place. The instrumental was very laid back and I think it could have done with more development, especially in the chorus
NYMPHOLOGY is probably my least favorite song - I feel like the 1st verse is so good and ethereal but the autotuned chorus ruins it. The spelling thing really caught me off guard too. Like I feel like her goal was to remove herself from Crybaby by killing her off, but this spelling chorus sound too similar to her crybaby aesthetic and is out of place on the album. also, I was a bit sad that the outro wasn't the intro for EVIL - I like the vocal effects on the rapping, and the heavy drum fill at the end would have been cool if it featured in EVIL
EVIL is such A GREAT SONG, the instrumental is really solid and the chorus is so powerful and rewarding to sing along too, also the lyrics most likely reflecting people who leak her songs is a nice touch because i feel like that was something that needed to be said. I love when Mel experiments with these punk pop/rock sounds because IMO it suits her voice well
WOMB to me didn't have an album closer energy, also it was very similar sounding to LIGHT SHOWER and LEECHES. I loved the link to DEATH with the "life is death" and it really ties the theme of the album together. Also a line in the song "And I know my brotheHe'll make the journey later on" is making me think Mel is referencing Crybaby's brother who we didn't see after dollhouse.
Overall, I think this album definiety had AMAZING moments, no song was bad, songs like Faerie Soiree, Moon Cycle, Nymphology and Leeches are not bad songs but a songs with both good and meh moments which with little instrumental quirks and structure tweeks would be really good.
Also my biggest issue with this album is the AUTOTUNE - so many of the songs I mentioned in the parahragh above were really suffering from this - Crybaby, K-12 and Afterschool handled autotune well and it wasn't too confronting however PORTALS was too much imo
As always I love Mel's unique lyric formation and every song is written well, however some songs do suffer from goofy/cringe lyrics. The atmosphere of this album was great and the transitions to each song really tied it together and made it cohesive
As of now after listening my new ranking for Mel's albums is Crybaby, PORTALS, K-12 and Afterschool
My top 3 songs were THE CONTORTIONIST, EVIL, AND VOID Let me know yours??
Also this is JUST MY OPINION so don't give me hate lol
Final Rank on first listen in 7.5/10 (and I'm sure this will increase overtime)

2023.03.30 16:28 Solid_Fig6777 After a little over a month, finally feeling so happy with your decision to add a puppy into our life
In late February, my partner and I brought home a 16-week old Italian Greyhound puppy, Wallace! For context, he came from Florida to live in Philadelphia with us, so it was a huge adjustment for him. Writing a week by week summary of our time with him to show the progress and ultimately celebrate how happy we are with Wallace. We don’t know what our lives would be like without him, and we don’t know what we would have done without this community :)
Here’s a summary of our time since he came home:
Week 1: Terrible. No sleep. Accidents, accidents, accidents. Howling throughout the night. We slept on the floor next to his crate to get him to calm down. More accidents. Feelings of regret, uncertainty, and frustration - why on earth did we make this decision? Was an Italian greyhound the right choose? Are we going to able to handle this? Why did we choose to get a puppy when we have to go up and down four flights of stairs just to go outside (we lived in a row-home)? We candidly did not like Wallace during the first week.
Week 2: Wallace trusts us a bit more, but is terrified of all of the big city noises, ESPECIALLY garbage trucks. Zero success with getting him to walk around the block because he was terrified of everything. Overly stimulated. Still a ton of accidents. Sleeping soundly in the crate in the nighttime. Potty breaks every 2 hours for pee, 5-6 for poo - yes, even at night. Started to see his personality and get soooo many puppy snuggles. Realizing how bright he is and how treat motivated he is. Started teaching basic commands and manners around the house. Starting to leave him home alone which was scary for him at first but after a few tries, he was able to be home alone without freaking out.
Week 3: starting to realize how special Wallace is. He’s a snuggler, has a great personality, loves to play and is the best WFH buddy. Still accidents, but began to realize that his accidents were due to our poor management. We needed to step up and be better parents for him. We began to manage his potty schedule better by keeping him to a strict “go out every 2.5 hours” routine even though the night and kept consistent verbal commands and brought him to the same spot to potty. He started to alert us in very subtle ways when he needed to go out. Started tracking all of his potty breaks in a Google Sheet to see his progress over time (even though it’s a lot of manual data entry, I highly recommend for those who may not feel like your puppy is progressing). Going outside was more of an adventure for him… lots of sniffing and sitting on the front stoop observing everything and everyone that walked by.
Week 4: Wallace finally seems at home. We threw him for a loop by moving into a new apartment a block down the road, so his sleeping through the night in the crate regressed a bit because he was scared of the new environment. A night or two of sitting next to his crate while he fell asleep and he was good to go. He’s back to normal AND even slept through the whole night!! Thankfully we are on the first floor now, so potty breaks are so much easier :)
Week 5: Wallace started to meet and play with other dogs and it’s like he completely came out of his shell. He is a different dog. Walks around the neighborhood with ease and barely pulls on the leash. We got a 50foot lead and have been taking him to a wide open park in the neighborhood to let him run “free” and chase his ball at lightening speed. He still has a bit of anxiety when we leave him home alone, but chalking that up to it being a new scary environment since he acclimated well to being alone at the old place.
After having Wally for the least almost month and a half, we have never been happier. We genuinely did not know if we could do it at first. We stuck it out and thank goodness we did. He is the best thing to have happened to our lives!!!
And now I’m trying to convince my partner to get another one so Wallace has a friend :)

2023.03.30 16:28 doode44566 How do I (26M) reignite the spark and passion in my relationship with my partner (24F)?
Hey everyone! My partner and I have been living in a really small mother in law suite right behind my moms house for the past 10 months. Prior we were living together in a 2 bed apartment, and our relationship has been a little rocky since moving in the mother in law suite. We are constantly on top of each other, and we have both felt more exhausted and drained recently. Her sex drive has taken a nose dive the past few months, we discussed it and she said she absolutely loves me and finds me attractive and sexy, however whenever she steps foot in the front door, it takes a plunge. She recently took a trip with her boss to a conference, and told me she feels like a completely different person when she’s away from the place. Our lease ends in 2 months, so I’m stoked for that, but for now what are some things I can do to make sure she feels loved, appreciated and cared for so we can make it through these last few weeks. I already clean, do the dishes, cook dinner every night and give her a foot rub when she wants it, I just want to know what you all suggest I can do! I am open to all suggestions and replies. Thank you all so much
Edit: I believe the living environment has made the biggest impact, and once we move I know things will get better. But for the time being, we are struggling a little bit

Hi, for anyone of those who took physics/scicomm 2NM3, how was the exam? Our prof has told us it is open book but what can we expect on it? I’m confused how he can test us on his lectures! If anyone has any clue to what it may be?
Thank you
