Hello everyone,
I've been researching and reading reviews but can't find a proper clear answer as to what I can upgrade to.
I mainly looked to stick with Motorola, because of the following reasons:
- Button control within locked screen (I've seen some devices that won't allow you to volume control before you swipe/log
- Clean Android OS. I've seen many systems with extras to bloatware and I'm not a big fan
- Dual simcard. I have a personal simcard and one from work. It's easy to switch one off.
- Memory card (without sacrificing a sim slot). I've noticed this is becoming increasingly rare, but I'm willing to foreit it, as long as the main onboard storage is enough.
I've heard good things about Nokia and Samsung. I've been doubting to get an Galaxy A52S or the cheaper Motorola G72 so far. The Galaxy is what my girlfriend uses and she is very happy with it and the battery seems to do good (we use it often for Pokémon go on our walks and to navigate when we're on vacation).
They seem to have what I'd like and are within price range, but any user experience (both good and bad) would help me get an insight.
Anyone who can share their experiences?

Now, first of all, being a princess, Peach is, of course, a public figure, meaning that, if she were to be trans, it would have to be public knowledge, meaning that the Toads who serve her would have to be OK with her being trans. And, indeed, the Toads have been confirmed to be a genderless race with gendered characteristics. However, given that the Toads have clearly gendered names, appearances, pronouns, expressions, and labels, Koichi Hayashida clearly meant to say that Toads do have genders, just no biological sexes. Toadsworth has facial hair and a deep, masculine voice, but we all know that facial hair can be shaved off and voices can be feminized via training and that this does not require any transgender hormones. In other words, Toads likely choose their own genders, instead of having them assigned at birth, making every Toad neither cisgender nor transgender. Such a people would definitely have no reason to have anything against serving a transgender princess.
Also, Peach might be a Toad herself. After all, she is called Princess Toadstool. Nintendo.com's page for Super Mario Sunshine says that she is Toadsworth's daughter. And Super Mario RPG says that she has a grandma who is also a Toad. But there is the possibility that she was adopted. Which is actually common for transgender people.
Now, being a publicly known trans person, all of her friends would have to be okay with her being trans, as well, so let's look at some of her friends, shall we?

• Birdo is the most obvious example that comes to mind, given that she is pretty much a trans icon at this point. Now, Birdo originally started out as a villain, true, but savvy Mario fans will tell you that this game is actually non-canon because it was all just a dream. In reality, Peach and Birdo are seen playing board games and kart games and various sports together most of the time. Now, some people might be offended that I called her Birdo and not Birdetta, but that is actually correct. The North American instruction booklet of Super Mario Bros. 2 clearly states that Birdo only thinks he is a girl, when in reality, he is a pronounfuild genderfluid person. Yeah. That is the only logical explanation for all sources to be true. Birdo also has an affair and good chemistry with:
• Yoshi lays eggs, yet uses he/him pronouns. Yoshi's Island DS revealed that Peach was actually raised by yoshis. The game also reveals that Peach already looked like a little girl upon her birth. Just like me. I also used to look like a little girl before my mother cut my hair for the first time at the age of 1. There are still old baby photos of me where I wear pink shirts and long hair and I have been mistaken for a girl on those photos.
• Luigi really likes to dress up in feminine clothes, making some people suggest that he is trans-female. Critics of this theory have pointed out that he could also just be a crossdresser. Well, first of all, Luigi lives in a universe where clothes give you special powers: The Tanooki Suit lets you fly, The Raccoon suit lets you fly and turn into a statue, the Hammer Suit lets you throw hammers, and so on and so forth. And we all know that Peach's floating ability comes from her dress. So if a person wants to dress differently in the Super Mario Universe, they undoubtedly also want to change their lifestyle, as well. Secondly, Super Mario 64 DS revealed that clothes can transform your look: Whoever wears Mario's cap turns into Mario, whoever wears Luigi's cap turns into Luigi, and whoever wears Wario's cap turns into Wario. All while also gaining their abilities and everything. And, finally, the New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Website clearly implies that Luigi would have been interested in wearing the Super Crown. If Luigi is cis then he is at least what we would call an HRT femboy.
• Mario is not only friends with all of the above but also with the tadpolekin Mallow, the celestial-spirit-in-the-body-of-a-doll ♡♪!?, and the trans-female Vivian, who has been bullied by her sisters for being trans. Also, in the officially licensed Mario game Lily Franky Theater from 1995, Bowser becomes Mario's girlfriend, which is only possible if Bowser is transgender. And, finally, Mario occasionally crossdresses himself and his brother Luigi has no problem with that.

Furthermore, the Super Mario Universe is full of transformations: The Super Crown turns Toadette into a Peach lookalike, the Boo Mushroom turns Mario into a Boo (which makes all Boos attracted to him, which says a lot about their attraction), the kings of the Mushroom World have been turned into various Mario enemies in Super Mario Bros. 3, some Mario games feature lots of fake Bowsers who are actually some of his minions in disguises, magikoopas can magically transform practically everything into everything else, Cappy gives Mario the ability to possess his enemies' bodies, and so on and so forth, meaning that transgender people in the Super Mario Universe would be very likely to have a way to turn into their cisgender counterparts somehow.
But that only proves that Peach would have the possibility of being trans. Why do I think she actually is trans? Well, take a look at the only game focusing on what Peach does when she is on her own: The game Super Princess Peach is all about emotions. Why is this mechanic not in any other game? Well, this undoubtedly has to do with her being female, because women tend to be more emotional than men. This is not a stereotype. Men tend to have more testosterone than women and women tend to have more estrogen than men, making women more emotional. That's why taking estrogen makes trans women more emotional. Anyway, in order to have emotions in this game, you need to have energy in your Vibe Gauge. Otherwise, all you can do is be completely emotionally numb. Kinda like trans women before they start taking hormones. You can fill the Vibe Gauge a lot by collecting blue gems, kinda like how trans women take blue pills, or a little by consuming enemies. Trans people are also known to research specific foods to see which foods contain masculine or feminine hormones. All enemies fill up the Vibe Gauge a little, meaning that all enemies would have to contain feminine hormones, which would make perfect sense, considering all the enemies in the game are so overemotional to have gained special abilities due to the effects of the Vibe Scepter, which I would assume to magically fill people with estrogen. According to the game's end credits, no one knows who created the Vibe Scepter or why. Which would make perfect sense if it was created for transgender purposes in a society where trans people need to hide.
Anyway, you need to do all this in order to have emotions, something cis people get for free. And emotions also make you super powerful: Joy makes you fly and your skirt go spinny, rage makes you stomp so hard it can break rocks and produce actual fire, gloom makes you run really fast and also produce tears with no end, and calmness heals your injuries. Mario and Luigi can't do any of this. Also, Peach really needs all those emotions to progress. Even gloom, which is usually seen as a negative emotion by cis people, is really helpful for her, kinda like how trans women are happy when they are able to cry and sad when they are not.
Peach also spends the game collecting coins. But she is a princess. Shouldn't she be wealthy? Shouldn't she have insurance covering all kinds of things for her? What does she even do with all this money? Does she buy cheap foods like Mario and Luigi do? No. Does she buy expensive weapons like Mario and Luigi do? No. She buys:

• Self-defense tutorials that teach her how to use the new umbrella that Toadsworth gave her. Similar to how trans people get a lot of the information they need by watching tutorials from the internet.
• Several drinks that help her control her own emotions better. Say whatever you want but I classify those as medicine, especially given their unusually high prices. She also drinks a lot of "Tough Coffee", which is typical for people under a lot of stress, which is typical for trans people.
• Music. A necessity for some emotional people.
• Puzzle pieces to create pictures of herself on them. Pictures of oneself is something trans people take a lot when they are happy with their body.
• Minigames. Trans people tend to play lots of videogames, as those help them dissociate from their own body. Which would make perfect sense, given how tall she is.

All of those seem to be things that are necessary for trans people to live their lives while also being things that would not be covered by insurance.
So, um, yeah. That is basically my entire argument as to I think Peach might be trans.
Gosh, it's really hard to come up with a new trans headcanon for a universe that already has so many trans characters in it..........
---
/uj In case you don't get the joke, I was pretending to try to prove Peach to be trans while inadvertently proving many other characters in the Super Mario universe to be trans (or trans allegories) instead.

After all, Waluigi Stadium was originally set to be in Wave 3, but got pushed back to Wave 4, likely due to Waluigi Pinball being in Wave 2. It's likely Nintendo isn't too on board with putting tracks themed around the same character in back-to-back waves.
If this scenario were to come true, the fan reaction would just be like Airship Fortress all over again lol

My computer bluescreened while using the browser. Blue screen won't turn off for 20 minutes. I've only had it for the first time. What should I do?

Introduction

I've been a part of this community for long enough that maybe 3 people recognize the color of my shave towels when I post on /wicked_edge (they're purple). In /wetshaving, I occasionally make dick jokes with mammothben.
As a result, I've spent about an hour ruminating on this post and how to make the Maggard Meetup as awkward as possible. These are my memes and mine alone. I have rejected several cash offers to not post these findings, and I will not be stopped.

Grievance #1: Ending the Base Race

Background

In the before-fore times, the meta for soapmaking that every soapmaker followed was to get a handful of main scents that they keep the same, and release small tweaks to their soap base every 6 months to render the community's collection obsolete and generate a buying spree where people now had to get their favorite scents in the "latest and greatest" soap base.
Many consider this era the golden age of wetshaving, and Barrister and Mann was an active contributor to the base race. White Label/Black Label base, Glissant base, Latha base, Reserve base, Soft Heart base, and Excelsior base all helped encourage wetshavers across the world buy Seville multiple times in the hopes for better slickness, improved cushion (which is totally a thing), and the ultimate post-shave feel.
Then everything changed when the Omniberries attacked.

Omnibus

On September 29, 2021, a nuclear salvo was unleashed from the halls of barristerandmann.com. Leviathan was released in the Omnibus base, and soapmakers around the world waved the white flag on the base race.
Declaration Grooming's Milksteak, Sus Artisan Accoutrement's CK-6, Boob-label & Evans' Kaizen K2. These mainstays of American soap bases have remained stagnant ever since. Omnibus effectively ended the base race across the entire market, and led to the community consensus becoming "chase scents, not bases."

Why This Matters

This alone isn't problematic, having a stable set of great bases to choose from and allowing premiere soapmakers to focus on releasing more interesting scents in smaller batches is good for the community, for the industry, and the world.
The problem arises when old, established brands like Tabac take the end of the base race as a signal from the market that they can cut costs by moving their soaps onto to inferior bases. I'm not saying that it's Will's fault that tallow Tabac is now unobtanium, but you could make the argument that it's Will's fault that tallow Tabac is now unobtanium.

The Solution

The best way the community can address this issue is to write daily letters to Maurer & Wirtz that they need to bring back the tallow base for Tabac, and buy out Maggad Razors' stock of 4.1/4.2 base Saponificio Varesino soaps so they can restock everything in the 4.3 base.

Grievance #2: Financial Abuse

Background

Every few years, the copyright expiration date on Mickey Mouse looms near and Disney lobbies the US government to extend the copyright expiration date so that Disney can maintain their stranglehold on The Mouse, despite their eager use of public domain IP like Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur. Is Will literally Big Soap? I'm not saying he is, I'm just asking questions.

Mousse de Saxe

Will has a whole blog post on how he came about his formulation of Mousse de Saxe, and while it's a very interesting story and his formulation of MdS has become catnip for wetshavers, it's also become something of a crutch in his soapmaking. MdS features in Beadelaire, Full Measure of Man, Lavanille, Le Grand Chypre, and most recently in Vespers.

Why This Matters

Although many of us in the community have no thrill anymore, MdS remains the inimitable constant source of thrill at all of /wetshaving cannot resist. L'appel du mousse is the compelling urge one feels to buy at least a sample (I just need a taste!) of Will's latest release featuring Mousse de Saxe. Will knows this fact about us. He knows it well. My sources tell me Will has bought several jetskis with the money he's earned from abusing this fact about us. And he can't keep getting away with it.

The Solution

Since the turn of the new millennium, sex strikes have proven effective in Colombia, The Phillippines, South Sudan, Togo, and elsewhere. By withholding that which their oppressors desire until behavior is changed, peace can be achieved. So to everyone at the Maggard Meetup, I call upon you to refrain from complimenting Will's scent-making until he releases Mousse de Saxe as a standalone dropper that can be added to soaps and aftershaves a la Declaration Grooming's menthol dropper. Si se puede!

Grievance #3: Olfactory Abuse

Background

It is at this point in the post that I must concede, Will is the superior meme-meister. This absolute madlad is at the gigabrain Dr. Manhattan level of the soapmaking world, except instead of moving to Mars he's decided to dead-ass fuck with us. Seville prints more money than the Nintendo Switch, he's got MdS for whenever he wants the cash to buy another jetski, and Omnibus ensures no other soapmaker will encroach on his soap base superiority. How do I know he's decided to stunt on our noses? Because of 2 scent notes.

Cilantro and Cum

Let's start with Cilantro. When the Four Horsemen series was announced, the wetshaving community was awash with curiosity and speculation about what each of the four horsemen would smell like. Would it be like how Noble Otter tackled the "Firefighter" theme without actually making a soap that smelled like a fire?
No. War would smell like an actual war crime. How does one scent a war crime? Apparently with Cilantro. I have it on good authority that Will devised the scent profile for War when eating tacos for taco tuesday and the topic of how cilantro tastes like soap to some people with a specific gene. "Well what would happen if I added an ingredient that tastes like soap to my actual soap?" and off he went. His friends and family didn't see him for days. The Cleveland Browns found a post-it note that had "Cilantro No Matter What" scribbled on it. And some time later, a scent that could curdle Wholly Kaw's Creme Fraiche base was brought to market. Will knew that we'd buy all 4 scents, get all matchy-matchy, and even dickhole the aftershaves. And then the SOTD's began. "My wife hates this," "my cat peed on the tub when I left it open to dry," "why has god forsaken me?" Guess who was laughing his ass off from Mars? Our very own Dr. Manhattan.
For those of us familiar with Pear Tree blossoms, they have a very particular scent. The kind of scent that makes guys inspect their pant leg and say "I'm fairly certain I didn't miss." The kind of scent that makes women think "Oh gross, honey I told you to change your underwear after last night." That's right, Pear Tree blossoms smell like cum. So when Will was considering what scent to re-release for Spring 2023, did he select fan favorite Paganini's Violin or the fruity fougere Passiflora? (Both of which he relased bath soaps for in February). No, he chose the cum soap. The soap that's supposed to remind you of the time you took a walk through Central Park and rounded a corner only to be accosted by a masturbating homeless man.
I tried to give Will the benefit of the doubt, and asked point blank "Is the pear blossom accord in Rhapsody going to be as, well... pear blossom-y as the original Rhapsody formulation?" to which he responded "Why would I change it?" He knew. He knew what he was doing when he originally released the soap, and he knew why I was asking if he had changed it in the re-release. Dr. Manhattan was laughing on Mars again.

Why This Matters

This matters because Will still hasn't re-released Roam and I need the matching aftershave in my life. There are only so many fresh tubs of Roam out there that j33pguy13 can source for me. Instead, Will chooses to re-release Rhapsody and put together what may go down in history as the most infamous multi-scent meme soap release in history with the Four Horsemen. This is a personal attack on my love for Roam and I will not stand for it.

The Solution

Will, re-release Roam and all is forgiven.

Grievance #4: Feet

Preface

I'm a heterosexual male, but that shouldn't matter when it comes to shaving products or labels. Yes, we drank beer. My friends and I. Boys and girls. Yes, we drank beer. I liked beer. Still like beer. We drank beer.

The Problem

Lavender, Interrupted has been to Will as At the Mountains of Madness has been to Guillermo Del Toro. Everyone wants to see it. Will wants to make it. But the creative ambition of the project makes the promised project almost un-makeable. Lavender, Interrupted had been long promised as an evolution of the lauded Lavanille scent, but faced delays and reformulations, and further delays.
And now, today, many of you will go to the Maggard Meetup anticipating getting a full bottle or sample of the long awaited fragrance. And I can't say I'm not jealous.
I'm really jealous.
But lets wind the clock back to Tuesday March 21, 2023 and remember the Deals/New Products thread from that day.
"Happy Tuesday!
Just wanted to drop in quickly to let you all know that the Q2 2023 Release Schedule is now posted on our blog and that it features a sneak peek at a mockup for Lavender, Interrupted packaging."
Will wanted us to see the packaging. Not a new blog post on how he put the final touches on the fragrance. Not a picture of the bottle it would be sold in. He wanted us to see the picture of sexy feet he put on the box. He postponed Lavender, Interrupted and strung us along just so that his feet pics could get maximum exposure with minimum heat. Are those Will's feet on the box of Lavender, Interrupted? Why does will want us to see pictures of his feet in thigh-high stockings? I'm not saying they are Will's feet on the packaging of Lavender, Interrupted. I'm just asking questions.

The Solution

Nothing really to be done about this other than be mad about discovering new about ourselves. Just accept that we're all going to love this fragrance and that the box with sexy feet on it will be in many wetshavers' dens, delighting Will that his feet pics are going to be all over the sub's mail call threads for years to come.

Conclusion

I'm not sure why you read this far. It's lot to take in, I know. I'm intentionally avoiding a few smaller topics of less import, like... Night Music having poo notes. I'm not going to critique Will/Barrister and Mann beyond that, because it's already been established that he's straight up fucking with us with some of these scents and I am 100% here for it.
I've been wracked with guilt holding onto this knowledge while wetshavers around the world continue to buy Will's wonderful products, but I realized the potential hilarity of pointing out Will's sexy feet pics the morning of the Maggard Meetup was too much to pass up. My intention is just to meme on everyone tangentially related to what I've posted here, and to get Roam a proper re-release. I will not source any of my claims, and I expect you to do your own research. Take my word for it.
After all of this though, I am convinced that Will is an absolute gigachad in the wetshaving world. Please join me in encouraging Will to re-release Roam.
TL;DR Does this sub even have mods anymore? Why is this post still up?

Can anyone suggest a system that might match my theme? Preferably player facing/little to no GM rolls
I’m looking for an RPG that can channel Cyberpunk themes and technology along with Wuxia/mystical martial arts/Paracausality
My touchstones are Kill 6 Billion Demons (I’m aware it has a PBTA hack), Warframe and the anime Outlaw Star. I’m a big fan of Esoteric Enterprises but don’t think it’s appropriate here.
Blades in the dark could work if anyone knows any appropriate hacks: I’m sure there’s some shadowrun themed ones (Shadowrun’s system is a big turn off)
I know there’s also Cypher too
Thanks in advance!

So i built a new pc with my younger brother and were super upset about it not booting. The water cooling fans (aorus waterforce x 240) and rgb will not turn on either when we turn on the pc. The computer also repeatably turn off and turn of briefly after. The screen will also be black. Anything i try to plug into the motherboard like keyboard and mouse wont work either. Other than that the other fans work and the rgb in the motherboard works. The fans in the gpu also works fine.

Introduction? I don't know how to do this analysis thing properly
I decided to do an analysis because Gunners in the Rain just came out and better analysis people haven't gotten to it yet. It also seems to be overlooked in general, having lyrics that are just as complex and ambiguous as Ga1alad, Sl0t, world.execute(me) etc. but for some reason being discussed less. The song itself reminds me of Children of the City instrumental-wise, which I thought was cool. Mili should make more of this type of music imo, the muted/muffled sound really fits momocashew's vocals.
The actual analysis
So, these lyrics use so much symbolism it's kinda hard to tell what it's really about. Maybe they just wrote whatever sounded cool. I dunno. But this is my personal interpretation, and I'm gonna project my personal concerns and opinions on it as hard as possible.
Overall, I think this song is about ending a toxic relationship. Or maybe close friendship. I'm going with the former because it's spicier that way. I don't think the violence in the song is literal, but metaphorically represents the pain of severing your ties with someone, I'll explain later why I think this is the case. To me, the gunner's "killings" represent them causing the singer's other connections with their loved ones to fall apart.
​

Lately my friends have been
Feeling rather uneasy
Living differently
Just doing their thing

Not too hard to understand. The singer is drifting apart from their friends as they get their own hobbies. They aren't as close as they used to be.
​

Yet all their preferences are threatening
To your overly boundary-stepping philosophy

These lines suggest to me that the gunner is either very close friends or partners with the singer, and they don't like the singers friends drifting apart from them because it makes the singer sad. The singer isn't too happy with the gunner trying to shove their nose into their friendships, and sees it as overstepping their boundaries.
​

Yeah you play to win
Consider this:
How about joining an eSports team?

Here we get some weird seemingly unrelated lines. Maybe the singer thinks the gunner does not really care about them, and sees their relationship as a game?
​

One by one, properly performed
Pre-approved killings
To-do list in mind
You’re ticking off their time
Ticking off their time

I already touched on this but to me it reads like the gunner trying to sever the singer's other connections to their friends/family. Yeah, gunner has a severe case of the yandere. "Pre-approved" reads to me not as being approved by someone else, but the gunner justifying his actions to himself.
​

And with your arms of fire

Keeping this in mind for later.
​

Hey gunner in the rain
Who keeps you up at night?
Why don’t you tell me why you’re afraid to turn off the lights?

The gunner's reason for doing all these things to the singer is, at its core, being worried about the singer and their relationship ending. Ironically his actions are what causes the singer to break up with them in the end.
​

Hey gunner in the rain
If justice isn’t a lie
Tell me, who were made victims in the name of protection?

The gunners wants to "protect" the singer from their own friends, who he sees as hurting the singer, by... uhh... ending their friendships. The singer (rightfully) calls them out on this, saying that the gunners thinks they're doing a good thing but actually it's hurting the singer's friends (making them victims).
​

So I have been
Planning for this party secretly

Singer want to break up with gunner. Breaking up with someone isn't easy, you need to plan for it, make yourself ready.
​

And I found this thing Santa gave me
(He’s just my daddy in a different name)
Anyway, sorry
It’s a submachine water gun in pink

The singer gets the courage and support they need to break up from their father. Once again, the irony is that the people close to the singer, the ones who the gunner thought were affecting the singer badly, are actually helping the singer and helping them stand up to the gunner.
​

It’s a submachine water gun in pink
Filling it up with cherry ice cream

Notice how the gunner's "violence" is genuine and deadly, while the singer's "violence" is isn't violence at all, but rather made up of harmless, childish imitations of real violence. Maybe this is Mili making a point about how the gunner is wrong and the singer is right here. Maybe it's saying that unlike the singer who has had genuine valuable friendships shattered by the gunner, the gunner won't lose much in the long term after their unhealthy relationship ends. I dunno.
​

And with my arms of water

This ties into my previous point, gunner has arms of fire while singer has arms of water.
​

Lock on to your head
I’m triggering a change
Triggering a change

Not much to say here except to point out the double meaning of "trigger" which is pretty clever.
​

A splash of ice cream took off
And splattered on your face
Bullseye, bullseye

...And the singer does it, successfully breaking up with the gunner.
​

Hey gunner in the rain
Will I keep you up tonight?
Hope my messages stick and sting a little bit

The last line here is what led me to believe that this isn't about real violence. Being shot in the head definitely shouldn't "sting a little bit".The gunner will be hurt by the breakup, but the singer hopes that this pain will help them realize the error of their ways and change into a better, less obsessed person. Man this line speaks to me on a personal level.
​

We’re goners in the rain
Your bullet through my eye

Despite being the one to break up, the singers is also hurt. Not hurt irreparably, unlike their relationships with all their friends (who are described as killed), but still.
​

Why don’t you tell me why only now you feel regret?

This, I think, is one of the most important lines in the song. The gunner didn't harm the singer out of malice, but out of a misguided desire to "protect" the singer caused by an unhealthy obsession. Only after being broken up with can the gunner realize how much they have hurt the singer. The singer is saddened by the fact that the only way the gunner can realize this is if they end their relationship.
​

Hey gunner in the rain
I heard you don’t have the right
To hurt me like the others
Cause we’re way too similar

This feels like the singer is being kinda sassy? Like, "oh yeah you're so kind towards me but hurting all my friends like that is totally fine?"
​

We’re gunners in the rain
We decide which shot gets fired
We’re gunners in the rain
We decide which body our bullets enter

And the song closes off with a message about how we all have the potential to hurt people by ending our friendships/relationships with them, and we should understand when that is truly necessary.
So yeah, that's it. Idk. Thanks for reading.

So I (ENTJ) have met many ENTPs. But many of them have that kind of outer offensive(defensive) shell, where they are very offensive to me. I think it's because they think that I am danger to them. How do I tell them: "Bro, I'm not any danger to you, you can chill out and chill with me"?
When I tried to tell them that directly, they didn't do anything. Then (we had group chat with that ENTP) when they invited me to go out with them, I said "I won't go out with *ENTP's name* because he act so offensive for no reason. Now for last week they wanted to go out with me multiple times but I kept saying that it's *ENTP's name*'s fault that I don't go out with you.
The easiest thing would be if ENTP turned off that outer defensive shell, soften out, and would just say sorry to me and started acting more softly or at least not offensively, but currently he's not talking in group chat anymore... I need your help from ENTP's perspective how should I handle this.

Why does my drinking Bud Light offend you?

Day Assistant Sports Editor
[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
News item: Anthony Bass, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, shared a video Monday via Instagram endorsing an anti-LGBTQ boycott of brands such as Target and Bud Light.
​
"Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians have gotta be boycotting Target, Bud Light, and any other corporation that's pushing the things they're pushing,” Bass said. “I think a lot of people make this into a political issue, or they say, 'Oh, what's the big deal?’
​
“This is evil, this is demonic, we won't stand for it, we're not going to go to the stores anymore and we're not going to give you our money.”
​
It would be impolite to wish that Mr. Bass, who throws a ball for a living, blows out his elbow. Perhaps then he could simply blow it out his tailpipe.
​
Because I’ve grown tired of sanctimonious and hypocritical moral outrage over what Target and Bud Light are “pushing,” while it’s permissible that Bass and his ilk get to “push” their beliefs on the rest of us.
​
Example: In the last two months or so, I’ve been questioned a half dozen times in public as to why I’m drinking Bud Light. Seems people like Bass have objected to Anheuser Busch’s marketing partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Their boycott of Bud Light has led to a decrease in sales both locally and nationally. (Local bar and restaurant owners say Bud Light sales are down almost 30 percent.)
​
It is their right, of course, to boycott the product. I’m just curious as to why what I’m drinking is their business. I drink Bud Light because I like it. And I’m still drinking Bud Light because I will not marginalize people based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. I’m respectful enough to support someone else’s desire to evolve into another gender. And I’m not stupid enough to believe that my decision to drink Bud Light changes who I am or what I stand for in any possible way.
​
But I wonder why it’s so important for people — and the questions to me haven’t all come from men — to announce their disdain for a bottle of beer, tacitly implying their sexuality is “normal.” Remember this one and write it down: If you are truly comfortable with who you are, you needn’t announce anything to anyone.
​
And yet to further illustrate how screwed up this country really is, there’s this: Anheuser-Busch hasn’t merely been accused of alienating its traditional customer base with the partnership, but some LGBTQ+ campaigners have also criticized the company for not defending its ties with Mulvaney.
​
Amid all the finger-pointing and fear-fanning, the truth hides in the corner, too scared to emerge. The truth is that we are supposed to think critically, weigh evidence from both sides and then make up our own minds. Instead, we’ve become a country hell bent on legislating whatever cause we think is right and just, while burying the other side from all consideration.
​
It’s political tribalism. All or nothing. One side or the other. If you’re not in agreement with every morsel of the transgender movement, you are a snarling, hating, infidel. If you’re not in total agreement with Anthony Bass and his beliefs, you’re going to wither in hell.
​
But what if — and hold on to your ascots here — two conflicting positions can still be true? Example: What if I support Bud Light’s decision to use a transgender influencer, but also believe that transgender high school athletes belong in their own division?
​
I disagree with the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s policy complying with a state law that requires all high school students be treated according to their gender identity. We should consider a sports-centric law that acknowledges sports' unique challenges and accommodates the physical component for success that exists virtually nowhere else in society.
​
Sex discrimination in education, health care, housing and financial credit have no place in this country. But we must — must — realize and accept that sports require a physical component to succeed that calls for different guidelines.
​
Put it this way: Applying to a school or for health care, housing or financial credit requires no physical component to succeed. Sports require speed, strength and agility and do not fit under the same umbrella. And yet sports are routinely shoved into the same arguments about unfair treatment. Injustices get piled on for rhetorical usefulness, even though they're not applicable.
​
The male born composition has inherent physical advantages, rare exceptions noted. But in the aggregate, there are physiologic differences between biological males and females. I don’t believe writing that makes me transphobic. We should respect a person’s pronoun of choice. But that doesn't mean we have to blindly agree with claims that are not supported by science.
​
Yet that appears to be the new end game in this country. Blind agreement. Their side or yours. And here I sit, sipping my Bud Light, trying to figure out why so many of us act like the last three letters of Anthony Bass’ last name.

This article pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about the situation. Bud Light basically sent someone a can with her image celebrating a milestone. The fact it turned the beer into enemy number one doesn’t surprise me considering the vitriol that has become commonplace in our country. I have had plenty of private messages regarding a video I posted supporting a beer, and more importantly a human being. Most have been vehemently against my support of both and relish the chance to send me a screen shot of Bud Lights stock on a daily basis with a “Go woke, Go broke” ending. I believe much of the vitriol comes from news and talk radio which is why Spotify now fills my vehicle with music instead of talk. I ask everyone to limit their news intake to 30 minutes per day regardless of your party affiliation to center your life. Sometimes my radio will land on a “news station”, and I can feel my blood pressure rise as the most divisive topic of the day is being discussed with a majority of the facts not being considered. I am not recommending folks to ignore what’s happening in our world, but would point out that our country has survived many decades without the need for “up to the second” news reports. Most of the things we worry about will never happen and it seems our country is living in a constant state of fear which is certainly to blame for the vitriol. There will never be a point where everyone in the country will collectively say we are all happy with everything, but I still have a deep believe that with constructive conversations and true empathy we can get us close. When I get my boat in the water I would love to have an ice cold Bud Light while listening to my relaxing boat playlist, and of course talking with my favorite sports writer. That’s an invitation Mike. Great article.

“Bud Light sales are down between 26% and 35% nationwide additionally Budweiser and other AB brands (Michelob Ultra, Busch Light and Natural Light to name a few) have also taken a hit of around 11%.”
​
All the more reason to explain what set this off. Completely unhinged.
​
“My take, buy Coors stock now”
And that statement reinforces my point since Coors has been a decades long supporter of LGBT rights probably the biggest supporter (it all began with a workegay alliance boycott ironically… or not)
“Coors Light has been a sponsor of The Center and Denver PrideFest for decades,” says Rex Fuller, CEO of The Center on Colfax. “The work we have been able to do at The Center over the last four decades would not be possible without this support and we are grateful for it.”
Beyond supporting Denver PrideFest, Molson Coors has a distinguished history of supporting LGBTQ communities across the country, with significant support for organizations such as Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Matthew Shepard Foundation, National Amateur Gay Athletics Association of America, National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, LGBT Victory Institute, Out & Equal, and One Colorado.
In addition to these partners, Molson Coors works with local LGBTQ organizations in key communities through its Tap Into Change program. Annually, the summer program donates more than $100,000 to these organizations with a consistent growth in impact each year. Events take place in each city to help raise additional funds, awareness, and support for the missions of these local organizations. Over the past 10 years, Tap Into Change has raised nearly $600,000 for local LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS nonprofits.

​
This is even though like 2006, 2010 and 2014 they had to go through boycotts for this. And they did shrink back in response, but also came right back and didn’t move backwards for long.
​
And what will I do?
Continue drinking Corona because I drink what I drink.
It’s damn near impossible to do a successful boycott long term. The web of corporate connections means when you think you’re hurting one, it’s actually benefitting another one connected to it.
The beverage brand that owns Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois, is suing US beer-maker Constellation Brands for using the Corona brand name in a hard seltzer, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
​
Beverage giant Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) acquired Corona’s parent company, Grupo Modelo, in 2013, but US antitrust regulators required it to sell the company’s US-based business to Constellation. AB InBev retained rights to the products in other markets, and the deal gave Constellation the rights to produce Corona and other Modelo brands in the US.

Robin- not certain this article nor all the comments will move the needle. Bud Light sales are down between 26% and 35% nationwide additionally Budweiser and other AB brands (Michelob Ultra, Busch Light and Natural Light to name a few) have also taken a hit of around 11%. Bud Light has been the best selling beer in the USA for over 20 years and the normal volume of sales is 27 million barrels a year or 1134 million gallons. A 30% drop equals a loss of 340 million gallons a year. My take, buy Coors stock now

Do people realize that Bud Light sent a pack of specially made cans with the person’s face on it and did a minute long or so bit released on like TicTok? It wasn’t some big nationwide PR campaign yet it rubbed someone the wrong way (or so they would like us to think) and it snowballed into this.
​
I don’t ever want to hear about people calling “the libs” snowflakes or use their center liberal stances as a weakness. These champions of “conservatives” are gullible whiny babies.
​
I watched in real time a bunch of idiots blow something up out of nothing and then saw them flocking to the internet people with their influencer pages and podcasts and publications where immediately they were being hawked “anti-woke” beer and all these other wares, often made by the same places they are boycotting for double the price.
There is a whole market opening up to people that will only get their businesses off the ground (temporarily for a quick cash grab) by using these outrage tactics and capitalizing (literally) on impaired brains that as Mr. DiMauro correctly observed “Blind agreement. Their side or yours”

For me… Bud Light as a “beer” sucks. I would rather support local breweries that provide far better beers. As far as this column… as far as AB selecting this influencer in their campaign I have no opinion on it or that person. Up to each to decide for themselves.
​
Regarding this column actually Mike what you are writing is basically the same as the boycott and the changes in attitudes (political divide) of the country. Often used by politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle screaming to be open, defending one´s right to choose, freedom of speech etc.. and this is the most important part..”unless it does not validate their opinion or view”. This is exactly what you are writing. So if someone elects to boycott something and we know the WOKE police and Leftists enjoy not only condemning opposing viewpoints to the point of boycotting, attacking employers for the “views” of their employees etc… and demanding they be removed from the position their are in. So if someone boycotts something let them… I would ask you… why does it offend you that others are using their constitutional right by boycotting (freedom of speech). I always respect other´s opinions and even when we do not agree. Sadly we live in a world where people are afraid to speak up due to the potential ramifications. None of us will always agree and I know the powers to be are trying to “force” us to all be uniform in our opinions which is sad. And btw Bud Light is terrible anyway… How about you focus on sports.

Mr. DiMauro is always thoughtful and intelligent. The best writer at the day. Give the guy a raise.

Introduction:
​
Greetings, lovely peruser! Is it true that you are worn out on feeling like a wreck each time you thoroughly search in the mirror? Would you like to accomplish that faultless, brilliant skin that is by all accounts the stuff of dreams? Indeed, stress no more! In this extreme aide, we're going to give everything away on the most proficient method to pick the right skin care products that will make them look spectacular and turning heads wherever you go. So sit back, unwind, and we should plunge into the universe of skin care!
​
Realize Your Skin Type: The Way to Progress
Before you leave on your skin care venture, it's vital to recognize your skin type. Is it dry like the Sahara desert, sleek like a cut of oily pizza, or a combination of both? Knowing your skin type will assist you with narrowing down the huge swath of products out there and guarantee you pick ones that are explicitly planned for your exceptional requirements.
​
Ingredients: Separating the Great from the Awful
Now that you realize your skin type, we should discuss ingredients. Very much like a decent recipe, the right combination of ingredients can make all the difference for your skin. The following are a couple of ingredients to pay special attention to:
​
Hyaluronic Corrosive: This supernatural elixir assists your skin with retaining dampness, giving you that genuinely necessary stoutness and shine best skin care products in India.
​
Retinol: The hero of against aging ingredients. It lessens fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you looking new confronted and spectacular.
​
Tea Tree Oil: Assuming you're inclined to breakouts, this regular oil is your best companion. It has antibacterial properties that can assist with keeping those bothersome pimples under control.
​
Keep in mind, however, that various ingredients turn out distinctively for everybody. What may be a lifeline for one individual could be a bad dream for another. Thus, it's generally smart to do a fix test prior to slathering an item all around your face.
​
Financial plan: Go a little overboard versus Save
Presently, we should discuss the universally adored subject: cash. With regards to skin care products, you'll find a scope of choices accessible, from pharmacy takes to very good quality lavish expenditures. While it's tempting to go hard and fast and maximize your charge card on extravagant creams and serums, it's excessive all the time. A few reasonable products make all the difference as well! The key is to find a harmony among quality and value that suits your spending plan.
​
SPF: The Mystery ingredient for Young Skin
On the off chance that there's one thing you ought to never avoid in your skin care routine, it's sunscreen. Indeed, even on shady days! Sunscreen resembles a safeguard that shields your skin from destructive UV beams, preventing untimely aging and reducing the gamble of skin malignant growth. Thus, slather on that SPF and express farewell to sun harm!
​
Experimentation: Finding Your Sacred goal
Choosing the right skin care products can be a bit of an experimentation cycle. What works for your best companion probably won't work for you, and that is fine! Everybody's skin is novel, very much like a snowflake. In this way, don't get deterred on the off chance that you don't see prompt outcomes. Allow every item a fair opportunity, and recollect, tolerance is a goodness in the realm of skin care.
​
Counsel the Specialists: Skincare Masters and Dermatologists
If all else fails, look for exhortation from the stars! Skincare masters and dermatologists can be your guiding light in the tremendous expanse of skincare products. They can suggest products in light of your skin type and explicit worries, helping you go with informed decisions. Thus, don't be bashful to request help when required!
​
Consistency: Adhere to the Routine
Now that you've tracked down the ideal products for your skin, now is the right time to discuss the main part of any skin care routine: consistency. Consistency is the way to achieving and maintaining solid, glowing skin. You can't anticipate for the time being supernatural occurrences, old buddy. Rome wasn't underlying a day, nor is an immaculate tone.
​
In this way, earnestly promise to adhere to your routine. Purge, tone, saturate, and safeguard your skin with sunscreen each and every day. Consistency will permit the products to do something amazing and convey the ideal outcomes after some time. Keep in mind, persistence and diligence are the situation here.
​
Pay attention to Your Skin: Signs and Signals
Your skin resembles your best companion — it speaks with you. Focus on the signs and signals it gives you. On the off chance that an item is causing bothering, redness, or breakouts, now is the ideal time to say goodbye and find another option. Your skin merits simply the best, so don't make due with anything less.
​
Extra Tips for Skin Care Achievement:
​
Remain hydrated: Water is your skin's best companion. Drink a lot of it to keep your skin stout and hydrated from the inside out.
​
Get your magnificence rest: They don't call it excellence rest in vain! Hold back nothing 8 hours of value rest every night to permit your skin to fix and revive.
​
Eat a reasonable eating routine: What you put on your plate matters however much what you put all over. Feed your skin from within by consuming a solid, adjusted diet wealthy in natural products, vegetables, and cell reinforcements.
​
Stress less: Stress can unleash destruction on your skin, causing breakouts and bluntness. Find solid ways of managing pressure, like activity, reflection, or indulging in a side interest you love.
​
End:
​
Congrats, old buddy! You've endured a definitive manual for choosing the right skin care products. Furnished with this recently discovered information, you're prepared to leave on your excursion towards impeccable, brilliant skin. Keep in mind, everything no doubt revolves around knowing your skin type, understanding ingredients, sticking to a routine, and listening to what your skin needs.

A story I wrote a while back. (To put it more accurately, a year ago.) Submitted it for the college Magazine, and recently uploaded it to Wattpad. But it didn't do much. So I decided to just put it on here. Any kind of feedback would be appreciated.
Being the idiot I am, I'm not sure what genre to place it in. But I'd say it's an action - drama in a somewhat fantastical setting.
The Blurb is as follows:
"Undera night sky lit by two moons, a Witch loses her family, and begins to succumb to the dark, violent side of her powers - Bloodlust.
During this desparate struggle, she comes across a Bishop - a soldier of this city, whose sole purpose is to kill her kind.
Who is this Bishop? Will the Witch survive? And who am I, the being who wants to share this story with you??"
And here's the full story. I hope you enjoy.
Oh, what a beautiful night.
The two moons in an elaborate dance, one in the arms of the other as they glow amidst the darkness. Wouldn't it be a heartbreak, for the king to abandon his queen at the brink of dawn, leaving her alone and defenseless?
Of course, my king already had. Even worse, he might've even let the hunters on my tail. Just the thought sent shudders through my spine. My dear melancholy, I thought, you won't be here for long. "I've cried with you far too long. Perhaps I should send you with my lover, let his blood wrap around you while you sleep. Perhaps I should let his cries wash away all that you weep."
I wanted answers. But, a deeper, more primal part of me needed revenge. But if I wanted either, I needed to act fast. I was being hunted. The people of this world, they call us witches. They call us the spawn of the devil, to be hunted and burned alive. I know this isn't true, I remember my parents' faces as clear as day. Damn it, I wish I just had a normal life. I wanted peace, quiet. I wanted a happy life with my husband.
"You are desecrated by the demon himself!"
"Get out of my sight! Begone!"
The memory of Anton's words, curled in utter disgust.... They hurt. Once, long before this, I could almost see the smile on his face, taste the uninhibited love in his gaze, feel the steady warmth of his embrace...... And now... Why? Why, you.......... Why?
The question turned into a haunting melody, trying to tear its way through my skull with a violent cacophony, only to fade into a whisper drumming in sync with my footsteps, as I tracked him down through the shadows. Was he the answer?
Or just prey? A rat to devour?
That thought worried me. No, I-I didn't want to hurt Anton, but.... But he had done the same, was still doing the same. The streets were quiet, the houses all around closed shut. No doubt, there were hunters, the Bishops, tracking me down. But I had become accustomed to sneaking around without leaving a trace.
I wished, sometimes I could be one of those lucky women hiding in those houses, with nothing to fear but the outside. They could just stay in their homes and live the lives they wanted.
But, the increasingly manic voice from within spoke, you had that. For a while. How long did it even last, until he kicked you out and left you for dead?
My footsteps quickened seemingly running towards my prey. Or maybe, away from whispers that were becoming hard to deny. And then, I found him. Right there, in the darkness, all alone.
Ready to speak.
Or to die.
And all of a sudden, I felt my knife slide home. Blood, sweet and magnificent, rose in the air. Every cell in my body rose towards it, parched for a taste.
Just a taste.
I stumbled under the ferocity of the thirst, my will pushed to its limit to keep it under control. His life was fading out.
I had to... I had to look him in the eye. I turned him around, and it wasn't him. It wasn't him.
Oh god, it wasn't him.
It wasn't him it wasn't him it wasn't----------
"Ophelia, what the heck have you become?"
I slowly turned towards the source of the sound, knowing the horror on his face I'd be forced to see. There it was, but somewhere in the miasma of repulsive emotions.... Was it concern? Did my dear Anton still care? Did he still... still love?
Something fell on my thigh, soft, and warm, disappearing seeping through my dirtied clothes the moment it touched. And it was then I realized - it was blood. It was all over me, across my lips, on my hands, seeping into my fingernails. It was overwhelming me, wrenching sense and sanity away. Was it too late? Was I past the point of no retu------
The next moment, I realize I'm.... falling. Further and further, but I can't find the floor. I can't feel my legs, my arms, my mouth. It's as if every part of me except my soul has disintegrated, vanished into thin air. I look around me. There are so many like me. Witches, humans, the faceless, the feral. The victim and the criminal. They are all the same. WE are one and the same. I don't feel my consciousness fading away, but rather.... It bleeds, it swims around like a drop in an ocean, a single grain of pollen among thousand others flying away. It's coming all together now, fusing and joining and mixing with the others, and into the will of one great being. It's like..... Like the God accepting us into His womb, letting us be a part of His plan, and giving us one last gift- vision, His vision, to see the world as it really is............. And the ones we left behind in this world.
The process seems so painful - I can feel emotions that aren't my own, emanating from within me, while my own emotions are scattered over this pool of collective consciousness. It swirls and splashes around, slowly moving towards a source, rather than away. The closer I get, the lesser I remember about myself. I'd be concerned, unhappy even, weren't it not for the fact that along with myself, I could also feel myself forgetting the world I had lived in like an insect, while I dance around in the memories of others. It's all mine, and what's mine is also others'. There isn't an "I" anymore. There's just...... An ocean. An ocean of serenity. A desert, devoid of pain and suffering. An oasis of peace.
Just......Anton. Look after him, my Savior. And my----------------------
-Era Vulgaris-
Ah...... Another dead one coalescing into me. A woman, full of hopes and dreams soaked and squandered away by sorrow and hatred and envy. Don't fret, little one. You can rest now. Be in peace with yourself, and this broken world. Now, where were we? Ah, the woman finally lost it.
Her self-consciousness faded away the very moment that drop of blood dripped onto her tongue. What was left, was a husk of its former self, hungry for blood and power. I hated watching this, though I'd seen this a million times over. Even the part of me that was once that poor girl was undoubtedly horrified at what she'd become. It's okay, it's okay. It'll work out in the end. Trust me. Your loved ones shall come out whole from the other side.
Especially, I thought, if the Bishop beside him is truly who I think he is.
The word "Bishop" brought a bit of warranted concern to the residual piece of the girl, which meant I had to spend some more of my energy and attention to calm her down. So, I thought. Where were we?
The husk of the woman lunged for her former lover, only to be denied her prey by a sudden tackle to the ground. The assailant swiftly rolled out of harm's way, spinning around and aiming a rather large revolver right at her head.
"Freeze. Or the bullet goes in your head."
She didn't respond in kind. Instead, she... It. It, reminded the small voice that was once part of her, now just in pure disbelief at what she was looking at. It looked him dead in the eye, wailed its vocal cords out and slit its own arm, letting the blood spurt open all around her. The dead carcass beside her became her fuel, swimming towards and into heIt, as its own blood slowly morphed into clones of its own. All contorted and manic, just like the original. All at once, they converged right at the hunter, eager to churn out the flesh. One sneaky little figure, however, sneaked right out of sight and right towards its/ her husband.
Yeah, it was her husband alright. All these bright little memories sparkling from within the dark, right up until everything tore apart- Wait. Oh n-
A hailstorm of gunshots shattered the rain of noise that drenched the night. And just like that, almost all the clones were gone, fading into a cloudburst of blood from which they had risen. The husband, Anton, screamed, "The blood- it'll burn!!" But the hunter rushed through regardless, through the blood.
True to his word, the blood began to boil and corrode away all the protective plates and clothing, but the man himself was strangely unaffected. Rather, he became seemingly faster, as he kicked away the witch, the original form out, just a mere fraction of a second before it could rip out Anton's jugular. My heart was in my throat. Or at least, the newly assimilated soul felt that way.
I was more interested to as to how the Bishop appeared to have changed, as if a limiter on himself had been removed by the blood. As if a blind man had finally been given the path towards light.
By the time it could recover, the Bishop held the previous position once again- only this time, aiming at the creature's belly. That, is what I was worried about. The poor woman was pregnant when she lost control. "Now," he said. "Don't move."
The woman's soul suddenly began to wrench its way out towards her body, trying desperately to save its offspring, its child. Its only ray of hope. It took a considerable effort to keep her in control, much more than what I would once require. Well, I thought, all the more reason to let things go as they should.
Anton went to protect the thing that was once his wife, right up until the Bishop changed his aim towards him.
Anton paled, but understood the message. He returned to his previous position, his crosshairs pointed right at the woman's swollen abdomen, and waited for her to react.
She didn't.
She stilled, almost stuck between her primal urge as a creature of blood, and a maternal urge as a creature of warmth.
The hesitation was enough for the hunter to make a decision.
"Rest in peace."
The gun fired.
A single bullet exploded into a hundred smaller shells, penetrating the witch - not at the abdomen, but straight through the head. The man beside him just puked at the gruesome scene, unable to bear not just the brutality, but the heartbreak of it.
The hunter turned towards him. "Put yourself together. Besides, you put her in this situation."
The remark halted Anton from his state of disgust into a fit of near-violent rage.
"What? What the fuck do you know, you lowlife? You're the ones who kill innocent women for just the smallest suspicion of their nature. You fucker! Die in the womb you lived in you-"But, he couldn't hold on to it. Just couldn't.
Anton broke into tears, his guilt, his pain and his loss flowing down his face and falling at the cold ground below him.
It--It wasn't a nice sight to see. He cried, and cried, and cried, sometimes in reminiscence of the small moments that he'd shared with his loved one, sometimes in despair of the things he'd done. He could blame all he could, curse all he could. At the world. At hunters. At God. Even himself, but that would not bring his love back to life. It wouldn't bring his unbor---
A tiny, yet strong innocent wail interrupted his downward spiral.
"Anton. Your child." With that brief phrase, the Bishop laid a fragile infant in his arms. Crying, with hair barely formed, yet Anton could see it- It was her child. Her and his. THEIR child. But......
"IT's- It's a girl. Won't you-"
"Well, I think it would be rude of me not to turn a blind eye your way. I cannot see, after all. Besides, I think this child deserves a chance. For the mother who, in the throes of death, chose her child over revenge. And," he said, patting down the man's shoulder, "the pathetic man who still wanted to save his wife, even if she was no more. Now go. Get the fuck out of here. I gotta pick up the corpse and collect my payment. Oh, and, uh... What happened here, all of it- you don't remember a thing. Got it?"
He didn't need even the slightest of threats. The guy thanked the Bishop and, with the now smiling babe, walked away.
Another figure appeared from behind the hunter.
"Was that a good decision, Navy?"
A Faceless one. Quite devoted to the Bishop. His question held a tone of concern, but a sense of curiosity dominated his voice as he asked his question.
"Grayson," he said, placing his shotgun onto the floor as a walking stick, "I never overthi-"
"Shut up."
A careless shrug. "Alright. You got me. You want me to be honest? I.....see myself, as weird as it sounds. In that child, in that man. Even in the fuckin' witches. I kill them for a living, Gray. I wake up every morning to load a bullet carrying their name."
"You hate them. Simple as that."
"But a really small part of me..... It- I don't know, Gray. Sometimes all I do is say thanks to this stupid world we live in. A world where everyone wants to fall in love but there's no room for it, in the grand scheme of things. You know, it's times like these that make me glad. Better off believing in a dream world of love and peace, rather than knowing this nightmare of an era. An Era Vulgaris, if you will."
Indeed, in this we might just be kindred spirits. Hm... well, there's definitely a potential in him, to become what I need him to be in the future. I just.....
Well, I'll let this run its course.
After all, it depends on whether she can will herself a future worth salvaging. For there was another one spying on the hunter, another witch whose paths would cross with his. And that path would either fall in place like clockwork, or blow up every plan and contingency I'd made into smoke.
Till then, I guess it best to rest. Kick back and watch this Era Vulgaris consume itself in its vanity, and see if something will come out whole the other side. Rest well, Navidson.
And thank you.
Something settled, and that's when I realized the woman's soul had finally accepted its fate, fading into the primordial soup. Broken, scared and all bled out, and yet she put up a hell of a fight.
The human will is quite extraordinary, is it not?

I work in hospitality, a very popular chain company here at the UK, I won't mention the name, but I can honestly say, it's the best job I've ever had, I didn't think I would enjoy a job so much especially working the night shifts. When I was being interviewed, everything was sounding amazing until they mentioned I would be working completely alone, I have to admit that made my heart skip a beat and I almost refused the job. But honestly accepting the job was the best thing I ever did and being there for nearly 2 years has proven that, I still can't believe I work there. The staff are amazing, the guests are 99.9% pleasant and overall I'm very happy.
But of course, where there's good, there is bad. Sure I've dealt with awkard guests, guests who came back drunk after a night out, I even had to kick out a few guests because they were being way too loud and disturbing other guests sleeping. So it's not all sun shine and roses I admit but that doesn't put me off my job. Until one night where a guest made me question that very thing.
It happened a few weeks ago, I arrived at my normal time to take over from evening staff, the duty manager that was working took me to one side and gave me the run down on what happened to her and the staff that evening during dinner service. According to her, the 2 guests (a man and a woman) who is staying in room 1 was acting very strange, apparently they stepped out to have a cigarette but the guy was disturbing the guests who was eating dinner, by slamming his entire body against the windows that looked into the restaurant, shouting profanities, and making rude hand gestures. He then disappeared for a few minutes then came back with a fire extinguisher that he got from our bin shed. Whilst all this was happening, the duty manager stepped out and gave him a warning and told him if they disturb any more guests or attempts to destroy the hotel property again, they'll be out. Apparently the guy made some empty threatening remarks then disappeared back into his room with his lady friend.
The duty manager assured me that it's highly doubtful that the strange couple will come out of their room for the rest of the night and that everything should be ok. Oh how wrong she was.
After the duty manger and front of house staff left at around 11.15pm, i locked the doors and grabbed my panic button, something that the manager insists us night shift workers wear as a precaution, and although I never had to use it, I'm very glad I wore it that night. I knuckled down and got on with my duties, cleaning, setting up continental breakfast, emptying rubbish bags, counting the till, restocking juices and defrosting pancakes, crumpets and muffins. Little but necessary jobs. At around 1.30am I just finished mopping and getting ready to sit down to take a little break with some snacks and scroll through my phone in the restaurant area, I was just about to take a bite when all of a sudden I heard the hotel door open. It was the couple from room 1, making their way outside to have another cigarette. Going by what the duty manager told me about the guy I didn't feel at all safe being alone in the open, so I gathered all my things and made my way to the office where I could lock myself in a keep an eye on them on the CCTV monitor.
Some time went by, and the lady made her way back in, and she did not look at all well, she was walking so slowly, like she was in pain, swaying while she walked, stopping every few steps, but she managed to get back into her room from what I can see on the monitors. The guy how ever was not at all in a rush to go back to the room. He made his way back in the hotel with his key card and decided he was going to explore the restaurant area, ok nothing alarming, at first i thought he was looking for me, and I almost opened the door to let him know I was there, until I looked up at the monitor and there he was standing on a table and dancing, now I know that doesn't sound at all threatening but you have to admit, very strange behaviour. So instead of opening the door, I decided to observe him for a while and for the next hour or so, his behaviour went from strange, to damn right disturbing.
As I said he started off by just dancing on a table, then danced around the restaurant area, then made his way to the lobby area where he decided to stand very still like a statue, then a few seconds later, move position, then stand still again. Again not very threatening, in fact I was giggling a little just watching him doing what ever the heck he was doing. But the worse was yet to come.
At around 2.45am the guy was still acting strange, he was constantly going in and out of the hotel, dancing some more and jumping around. Then he decided it would be a good idea to take the condiment tray, take a seat on the chair behind the desk and start drinking the ketchup and brown sauce. Ok, now his behaviour has gone from strange, to a bit concerning. I was not about to open the office and tell him he needs to stop what he's doing and go back to his room, being a lone female worker I wasn't about to put myself in any danger, but I wasn't in enough danger to call anybody so again, I just watched him. As time went on his behaviour slowly went from concerning to disgusting.
Around 3.25am after he finished drinking the condiments, he got up and took his shirt off and wiped away the sauce that was around his mouth, he then draped his shirt over the desk chair walked around a little bit until he came to a complete stop and slowly turned his head towards the office door. Now I'm scared, the way he slowly walked towards the office door, the way he made direct eye contact at the camera as if to say, "I know you're in there watching me" he pressed his body against the office door and started kissing it whilst making direct eye contact with the camera, he then started putting his hand down his shorts and yes he was doing exactly what you're thinking. I felt sick, my whole body broke into a kind of frozen mode, like I couldn't believe what I was looking at but I knew I had to do something and fast.
So I pressed my panic button and called the police, I wanted him gone, time was passing fast and pretty soon breakfast service would be starting and I didn't want any other guests to be in danger. As I was on the phone to the police I spoke in a kind of whisper talk, so the guy right outside the door couldn't hear me, I told the dispatcher everything and of course they sent a call out for officers to come to the hotel to see the situation. It was just before 4am when the police officers arrived, and the guy was still in the lobby area but not doing what he was doing before. Instead in a very dramatic way he went down on his knees and yelled "not me, not me" I made my way out of the office, feeling safer that the police were there and whilst he was still on his knees with his hands above his head I told one officer everything that I told dispatch. The officers tried to communicate with him that him and his lady friend needs to leave the premises, there was a language barrier I think the guy was polish he kept saying "not me" or " I no go"
One officer asked to be let into his room to check on the lady friend, as soon as I opened the door, we were hit with the most foulest of smells ever, it smelt like urine and feaces, bottle of beer scattered everywhere, hard drugs on the bedroom desk. The lady friend was sat up naked on the bed that was drenched with urine and alcohol. I never seen anything like it.
After much argueing and alot more police officers arriving with a riot van. The guy was arrested and was put into the back of the van. A relative arrived just before 6.15 am to collect the lady. They couldn't be more apologetic, trying to explain to me that both of them had mental issues and have been missing for days. I tried to be understanding, I really did, but after what I saw, at that moment I just wanted them gone.
By 6.45am the police and the couple were gone. And the day manager arrived. I told them everything and showed them what had happened on the cctv. They gave me a big hug and praised me for how I treated the situation, but all I wanted to do was go home and take a long hot shower and go to bed. I was exhausted.
It's been a few weeks and I was told the guy was charged for indesent exposure and the lady is staying with a relative. I really do hope that both of them get the help they desperately need. As for me, I'm still working there, I'm not about to let one major incident make me leave a job I love. But what it has taught me, is to always, always trust your gut, if I didn't run to the office when I did, god knows what would of happened to me.

Hello everyone! I could appreciate if someone could advise me on this one.
In editor for MP scenario I placed a trigger with below settings:
Type: None
Activation: Any Player
Activation Type: Detected by OPFOR
Repeatable: Yes
Server Only: Yes
Condition:

this && allUnits inAreaArray thisTrigger findIf {isPlayer _x} != -1 

On Activation:

private _unit = allUnits inAreaArray thisTrigger select {isPlayer _x} select 0; ["AttackingComms"] remoteExec ["playMusic",group _unit]; 

Current behavior: when player group enters trigger area and is detected by OPFOR music starts playing to all groups inside trigger area. When new group enters music starts from beginning for everyone inside trigger.
Desired behavior: when player group enters trigger area and is detected by OPFOR music starts playing only for a group that enters. Other groups that are inside trigger aren't affected.
​
So basically I won't to avoid situation where one group enters, music starts playing for them but then other group enters and music starts from the beginning for everyone.
​
Also I placed more than 1 trigger like this around the map and I wonder if different group enters other trigger will it affect music being played by other one? Like won't they turn each other off?
​
I'll appreciate all suggestions.

Sorry that this is so long
I 19F have had an eating disorder for over 5 years now. The thing I struggle with the most is binge eating. I have been told I have both binge eating disorder and anorexia. My highest weight was around bmi 22 and lowest was bmi 15. I naturally fall into the 21-22 range. I binge around 2-4 days a week and they are normally around 4,000-7,000 calories.
I started binge eating at 14 and also had an excessive desire to lose weight. When I was 16 I lost a lot of weight because I started to struggle less with binge eating and went an entire two months without binge eating (this is a big deal for me). I never told anyone about this and my ED was only noticed by my family when I became underweight.
They tried to get professional help for me. I live in the UK so the healthcare is public and they tried to get help from an eating disorder service. The ED service told me that I weighed to much to get help from them. I had a bmi of 15 which was definitely unhealthy for me because I had been fully grown since I was 14. I was physically unwell with symptoms such as always being cold, insomnia, dizziness, my bones feeling weak, would constantly be thinking about food.
The ED service never gave me any actual help but they told my parents to put me on a meal plan to make me gain weight. At this point I was at my lowest weight but still struggling a bit with binge eating. My parents were very upset so I eventually agreed to it to make them happy. It only lasted 1 week before it made things a million times worse. My binge eating became worse than ever. I gained weight back to a bmi of 22. My mental health became worse than ever. I was extremely distressed all the time, lost all my friends, had to leave education, would almost never leave the house.
My parents then tried to get help for me from CAHMS (child and adolescent mental health service) and would call the doctors to try and get medication for me. Cahms just put me on a 2+ year waiting list and the doctors said they couldn't give me medication until I was 18 because I'm still a child. I was 17 then. Eventually someone from the ED service saw us for an appointment because my parents were desperately calling for help. This led to me being accepted into cahms.
I would see someone each week to check I was okay but I wouldn't get any actual treatment or specific help for what I was struggling with. I was still really struggling with binge eating and was very mentally unwell. They eventually agreed to put me on sertraline so I saw a psychiatrist for an appointment for that. This caused me to have a manic episode. I read that this often happens in people with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and bipolar runs in my family so I likely have that.
The psychiatrist saw me again because of that and took me off the medication. He also suggested that I have an ASD assessment. A few months earlier I came across some stuff online about Aspergers and it resonated with me so much, I didn't tell anyone about it though because I thought I was just making it up. I won't go into all the details about why I think I'm autistic but I have loads of quite subtle symptoms and have been showing symptoms of it my entire life. I have an autistic brother, a dad who probably has Aspergers and a cousin with diagnosed Aspergers.
I also think I probably have ADHD. I read online that binge eating disorder can be linked to ADHD.
I turned 18 and was no longer in cahms and now in the adult mental health services. However, they were very bad so I stopped going there. I would say my mental health started to improve a bit after I turned 18. I was no longer severely mentally ill like I was before. I got back into education and started to get my life back on track.
I'm now 19 and things are definitely looking up for me now. I'm back in education, have a new group of friends, I'm still anxious but no longer have severe anxiety. I still really struggle with binge eating though. It's destroying my life still. I can't really enjoy anything or ever have fun because of it. I can't wear any of the nice clothes I like, I struggle to have fun when I'm with my friends, I struggle to focus on studying. My entire life revolves around food. I have extreme urges to binge every day. I desperately want to lose weight and feel like I'll never be truly happy unless I get back down to my lowest weight. I've been called fat and chubby many times at a healthy weight so I can't accept myself being not underweight. It's torture and I'm honestly considering ending my life because of it.
I'm probably never going to be able to get professional help because public healthcare is terrible and private healthcare is too expensive. What advice do you have for me? How can I recover from my binge eating disorder?
