Omen of Storms is leaving us, and with it many players are giving teary eyed farewells to staple cards, like Gilnelise (though the tears are not from sadness in many cases). However, one card will be utterly unfazed by the transition to being Unlimited only, because it already lives exclusively in Unlimited. Spirit eater is possibly one of the worst designs for a rotation card ever printed, and serves as an excellent example in how not to design a card. This is because spirit eater is a self contradictory card that only serves to augment an already prevalent and badly futureproofed archetype in Unlimited.
Spirit eater's design in terms of rotation is inherently self contradictory. The intent is seemingly obvious when looking at the crystal effect - you're supposed to use the amulet to get many shadows cheaply, then use necromancy effects to accelerate the amulet's countdown, then have a big tempo swing turn to set up a lategame finish, seemingly. In fact, for most of spirit eater's lifespan in rotation, there was a card, Cernunnos, which explicitly set a quest to spend shadows on necromancy, for a cheap reanimate 10 payoff. Except the problems begin here - spirit eater contradicts with Cern's quest. Spirit eater is a 9 cost, and to be fair, the enemy destruction effect is Enters the Battlefield as opposed to Fanfare (so it works with the crystal), meaning it can work with reanimate. However, the main payoffs for Cern's quest deal far more than the paltry two damage to face that Spirit Eater provides when reanimated - Skeleton Raider can deal 4-9 damage, and later Flame and Glass can deal 7 (6 post nerf) damage before counting manual evolutions. And here's where the problems come about - if you use spirit eater as outlined above, you lock yourself out of reanimating raider or flame and glass with Cernunnos. Spirit eater is a card seemingly designed around necromancy effects which contradicts with a deck built around necromancy effects.
Okay, so, playing the mini quest implied by spirit eater's crystallise is a bust, so why don't we just cheat? Well, in rotation, we actually do have a way of cheating, in the form of Istyndet's fanfare of destroying all cards. Except spirit eater isn't even that great here, since the spirit eater crystallise is the only way of playing it, but it's useless until Istyndet actually gets the 10 last words needed to destroy it, and does nothing to actually help with last word's weakness to early aggression. Last words shadow also runs basically no necromancy effects (Deathly Tyrant's Feast being the way shadows are spent), so you're never going to pop the crystal naturally. Running three Colonels and one to two Feasts is already a hard sell in terms of bricks, so why make this even harder on yourself?
Obviously, it would be remiss to not mention the elephant in the room which I think solidifies spirit eater as the worst designed card in the Omen of Storms set, Lord Atomy. Spirit eater is a major part of the unlimited meta due to synergy with Lord Atomy as a cheap way of getting spirit eater into play. Spirit eater also formed part of Lord Atomy becoming meta warpingly powerful earlier in Azvaldt's lifespan, due to clearing wards for Abyssal Colonels to storm and hit face when entering the battlefield, and dealing additional chip damage to mitigate max health increases from master chef or similar cards. So fine, it seems clear here that spirit eater is really just Atomy support. But why print a card like that in the first place if it serves no purpose other than to make Atomy better? Atomy is a poorly futureproofed card in that every time shadow receives a new cheap card which is better destroyed than active (see: Colonel), Atomy receives an implicit power increase, as with every card which lets you cheaply flood board (see: Garuel). When analysed through this lens, it's hard to not see how cynical the design behind Spirit Eater really is - artifact has been a long time top deck in unlimited which only recently took a temporary steep decline when Atomy ruled the meta, because Spirit Eater seems almost designed with the prompt 'make a card that lets Atomy counter artifact'. The explicit punishment for repeatedly destroying allied followers exists primarily to punish artifact for trying to play the game. But Atomy didn't really free unlimited from artifact during it's reign, it was more akin to being under new management of Atomy OTKing you instead of artifact OTKing you, only Atomy was faster. There are better ways of balancing artifact in unlimited than printing a hate card reserved for a popular deck that is likely to only get better over time regardless - as the recent balance changes demonstrated, Cygames is willing to go as far as fully ban cards from unlimited when it's clear they will continue to enable problematic elements of the meta in the future. Why not treat some of artifact's cards this way as opposed to the halfhearted system of limiting half a dozen cards?
It's hard to not view Spirit Eater with contempt seeing how Abyssal Colonel was a much more elegant execution of the concept of crystal with a condition to cheat it out, as it was printed as part of an engine with actual support, and doesn't seem so cynically designed to shift the unlimited meta in the direction that cygames wants it to. One can hope that, as Atomy continues to receive implicit support in the future, we get more cards like Abyssal Colonel which serve a purpose in rotation and fewer like Spirit Eater.

I (30M) recently started dating a long time friend (29F). We’ve known each other for several years (~10 years) and have been in and out of touch throughout the years. A couple months ago we reconnected through social media and met up for drinks. Shortly after that, we went on our first official date. We have great physical and non physical chemistry and things have been going great. We’ve gone on several dates and have been intimate on most of those dates.
We’ve started having discussions on where we see this going. In the short term, we agree that we want to keep dating each other. In the longer term, I’d like to have a serious relationship with her but she’s a little bit more hesitant. She’s unsure if she wants a longer term relationship and is unsure if she can even love someone else. Shes not closing the door on a long term relationship, but she has a hard time envisioning her self with someone long term. Shes very independent and is the type that would be happy to live in the woods and not be around people. She’s been in several longer term relationships (2+ years) and has been engaged as recently as early last year. She ended the engagement last spring because of similar long term commitment issues.
I really like this girl and we’re both having a lot of fun in the moment. I just wonder if I’m wasting my energy if there’s no long term potential. Do we just stay the course and see what happens? Do I cut my losses and move on now?
Thanks

[February 3rd, 2137]
[Memory Article transcribed by artificial intelligence]
Isuf paced back and forth in his remote, private office, his talons clicking on the metal floor. He was ready and waiting; ready to speak to the most famous Arxur in the dominion, far more famous than any Prophet-Descendant. Dajur, Warmaster and Sovereign of House Koth. His name was spoken with fear and awe across the entirety of the Dominion, many countless Arxur seeing him as some near-mythical figure. It was hard for Isif to argue with those who saw him that way as well, since his achievements rivaled even the Slayer King himself: nine planets destroyed, tens of billions of prey enslaved, and over thirty thousand Federation warships turned to slag.
But that's not what Isif was worried about; he was worried as to why Dojur would even want a meeting. Isif was from a relatively inconsequential and insignificant clan, and his career was mostly quiet until humanity was discovered. Dojur, on the other hand, was… Well, he was Dojur of Koth. There was little more to be said about such an Arxur; his reputation preceded him.
Suddenly, he heard the thump sound of a skimmer craft docking onto the small station. There was arguing, then silence. Isif felt his heart leap into his throat, the idea of coming face to face with such a legendary figure filling his stomach with the icy-cold sensation of anxiety.
Pull yourself together Isif: this is the meeting of a lifetime. You need to make a good impression and find out precisely what such a famed Warmaster sees fit to bless you with their presence.
The arguing became louder, his guards obviously attempting to prevent Dojur from entering unimpeded. The fools couldn't possibly believe they could detain such a figure, could they?
Suddenly, the doors opened, revealing a massive Arxur clad in finely decorated powered armor, both eyes trained on Isif. He bared his teeth in a snarling smile, lips torn and scarred. He was old, older than Isif could imagine, and yet despite the visible signs of his age he was no less intimidating; to lice so long in the cruel and unforgiving world of Arxur politics and intergalactic war simply meant he was that much more dangerous. Next to him was a Gojid save holding what looked like a holo-pad, his eyes humorless and focused, his body thin but not malnourished. He wore a simple leather collar adorned with a holo-tag that simply read Karn, and two wristbands signifying his slave rank as being of an administrative caste. Most interestingly, the slave seemed to be gifted with cybernetics, most notably a small, almost unnoticeable scanner sitting just above the left eye, a small red dot blinking every few seconds. It was probably hooked up with multi-purpose software, but it was clearly also a recording device. Isif would have to hold his tongue.
"Warmaster Dojur, it is an honor to finally get you in person," Isif stated, mouth dry.
"Oh, but the honor is all mine, Chief Hunter. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to humor me with such a… clandestine meeting."
Isif licked his saurian lips nervously before continuing. "So, how can one such as I work to further your plans, Warmaster; what could I provide you that others cannot?"
Dojur chuckled. "There is no need for such formalities, Isif; this meeting is much more personal in mature than you may have realized," Dojur scratched his chin absentmindedly, "That reminds me: Karn! Begin a recording session, and create several triple encrypted backups just in case."
The save nodded fully, his eyes almost glassy, but there was still some will left there that Dojur hadn't broken him of his individuality just yet. "As you command, my master," he stated, "Shall I send the encrypted copies to your private server on Vitruna?"
"An excellent suggestion, Karn; in fact, send a copy to Salralia as well."
The slave named Karn nodded and tapped away at his pad diligently before the cyber ware on his brow activated, the light switching from a flickering red to a constant magenta color, signaling that a recording began. The slave then stepped back and watched the two Arxur expectantly.
"Thank you Karn," Dojur said, his gratitude seemingly genuine. "Now, where was I? Ah, yes; business. I have a simple proposition."
Isif didn't respond, skeptical of anything that Donur could offer.
"I see you don't trust me: that's completely understandable. I wouldn't trust anyone either if I knew my time was so short."
Isif choked on his own saliva at that remark, bursting into a fit of surprised coughs. Dojur simply seemed amused. "What are you implying?" Isif asked, throat sore from coughing.
Dojur chuckled again. "I keep forgetting that you are not as experienced in the ways of treachery as someone like me would be. Since that isn't the case, I'll be frank with you; your story is about to come to a tragic end."
Isif reached for his blade but faster than he could even register it happening Dojur disarmed him by grabbing and twisting his wrist so that Isif's blade clattered to the ground. His guards surged forward, but Dojure unclipped the gun from his belt, a heavy eviscerator pistol, and aimed it at the guards. "Tell them to leave, or ill paint the walls with their blood."
Isif hesitated, but Dojur did not. He fired his gun, killing the first guard in a heartbeat, the depleted uranium slug turning his skull into mush. The second guard backed away, his halberd wavering. "I will not ask again, Isif; tell them to back down. I am perfectly capable of slaying the remaining seventeen Arxur guards on this station effortlessly."
"Leave us," Isif shouted to the other guard, who did not hesitate in leaving.
"Smart choice," Dojur responded. "Now, I am going to speak, and you are only to speak when spoken to. Is that clear, hatchling?"
Isif nodded, fear gripping at his heart. Dojur's grip softened, and eventually, it was relinquished from Isif's wrist.
"Good. Now, the first and most important topic to discuss; your life has been rendered forfeit thanks to Giznel. Three days ago, your death warrant was signed. I had planned on meeting with you before then, soon after your conversation with him, but that sped things up. If my agents are correct, then you have less than a day to live."
Isif swallowed. How could Giznel do such a thing? He had entrusted Isif with handicapping the humans after Shaza's failure at Sillis. Why would he suddenly turn around and backstab Isif?
Dojur snorted at Isif's clear and uncompromised shock and betrayal. "If you didn't know this was inevitable, then you are a fool. Giznel has no desire to keep capable Arxir on his roster of underlings, and your ability to work with the humans to some degree of success proved that you are indeed capable in your own way. That, along with your infatuation with these unpredictable primates makes you a threat to his rule. I don't know what he told you, or what he plans with the humans, but it will no doubt end with either the complete subjugation or extermination of humanity."
Isif's blood froze at that. "How do you know?"
At this question, Dojur laughed bitterly, his own shade of betrayal blooming in his reptilian eyes. "Because they challenge the status quo; they are some of the most proficient warriors in the galaxy, yet they are capable of empathy. They have no claws or fangs, but they dominated their planet. They single-handedly brought the ways of the galaxy to a screeching. Giznel fears them, that they'll rid him of his power. I understand your infatuation with them, Isif; in fact, I share it to an extent. Their ferocity and bravery are admirable, and they have more than proven themselves to be worthy allies."
Isif couldn't help but agree. These humans were a wildcard, but also potential game changers.
"Second of all, what did Giznel speak to you about?"
Under any other circumstances, Isif would've kept his mouth shut. But Giznel had signed his death warrant; there was no longer any reason for Isif to honor Giznel's word.
"He told me… He told me that the Northwest Bloc during the great war killed our planet's cattle, not the Federation. The Prophet and his descendants are the cause of our people's starvation."
Dojur's hulking jaws clenched, and his eyes dilated dangerously. "Truly? That damnable prophet is the one who reduced our kind to mindless beasts?"
To hear those words come from the mouth of Dojur was shocking. He was a direct product of betterment; the perfect Arxur. To see him scorn the very ideals that created him made no sense.
But then again, neither did Dojur's actions. Sure, the way that the many Houses functioned compared to the Clans could seem alien at times, but Dojur's unique and downright heretical philosophies were a step to far for many. He treated his slaves with some semblance of dignity, granted them privileges that most other clans and houses wouldn't dream of, and bred discipline into his soldiers beyond compare. When lined up against the average warrior from a clan, a warrior from House Koth was practically a demigod. Dojur's ways were both successful and oddly… Human in a barbaric way. He was like the brutal, militaristic Arxur of the past, and not the savage and animalistic Arxur of the present.
"It seems impossible to me, yet at the same time I am ashamed for not accepting such a truth. The idea that the prophet would do such a thing… It seems beyond the logic of his own teachings. It breaks the system that he claimed works."
Now that made no sense. "What? How? The Prophet was cunning in that instance."
Dojur laughed. "Don't start that nonsense with me, you hatchling! The fool failed to execute his plan in a meaningful way and was incredibly lucky in the end. No, if he was true to his words, he would've fought the Morvim charter fairly, as I do with my enemies. Yet he cowered behind his warriors and flung bioweapons at his own people like prey."
Isif hadn't thought about it like that. Dojur was right, in a way; to prove who is the perfect arxur, one would have to test every skill and ability, rather than just cunning, and in the end, even the cunning of the prophet was obviously lacking if he starved his own people.
"What else? That cannot be it, Isif."
Isif gulped. "He started that Betterment and the Koloshians and Farsuls have been working together to keep the war going on forever. Giznel stated that it was to keep the struggle going eternally so that the perfect Arxur could be created."
At this moment, Isif feared for his life more than ever before. In a shout of rage, in an act of herculean strength, Dojur picked up his seven-hundred-pound titanium desk and flung it across the room like it was made of cardboard. It slammed against the wall, creating a deep dent and bending the desk at an unnatural angle. Dojur then calmed himself, taking deep breaths and regaining his composure.
"Forgive my outburst, Isif; I'll reimburse you for the damages."
"Nonsense," Isif croaked, terrified. Dokur simply chuckled.
"It is natural to be fearful, Isif, but you have nothing to fear from me. Now Giznel, he will rue the day he emerged from his mother's disease-ridden cunt."
Isif didn't respond.
"You know what hurts the most, Isif?" Dojur asked, his back still turned from the terrified Chief Hunter. "Twenty-five years. I dedicated nearly a quarter of my life to fighting the Federation. I glassed entire planets, broke impenetrable defenses, and risked life and limb so that the Arxur could take their natural place in the universe as the Apex predators. And to find out that the game was rigged from the start; to know that Giznel was always working with the damnable prey, to know that it was all a ruse to maintain power… I feel like I just aged another twenty-five more."
Isif still remained quiet, waiting for Dojur to finish his speech. "I sacrificed beloved friends, lovers, even children because I trusted that Giznek believed the war was winnable. Now I know he simply seeks to starve those below him so that he can keep them too hungry to think critically."
Now Isif spoke. "But why? Why not make us stronger so that we may compete at our full potential?"
At this, Dojur snorted. "Because Giznel doesn't actually care about the prophet or his teachings; he cares about power. Giznel breaks all the rules by refusing to compete and rigging the game so that at the end of the day he will always end up as the one with the full belly and the comfortable life. The true Prophet is dead, his bloodline has been dirtied and disgraced for generations, and his teachings are empty and meaningless. Now it is our time to take up the mantle."
Before is if could speak, Donur interrupted him. "If you survive the assassination attempt, prepare for the worst. Fill the bellies of your soldiers, negotiate with the humans, and prepare for war. I shall fight my own war on my own front soon, and together we shall break Giznel and his lapdogs, and I will personally flay him alive. And you shall join me at my side, and I shall become Donur, Sovereign of All. I will build a great and terrible army and I shall assail a thousand worlds in my quest to bring down both the Federation and the Dominion alike, and I shall remake the galaxy in my image.”
Karn watched from the corner, his frown ever vigilant on his face, his eyes trained on Isif like those of a robot. He might’ve retained some will, but much of his original personality and beliefs were likely tortured and starved out of him, if not worse. Isif noticed the scars and carvings on his flesh and the branded symbol of the twin thorned hounds of Koth burnt deeply into his chest. He saw the collar on his neck and the fine jewels that adorn his body. Isif had heard that Dojur spoke about seeing the Gojids differently, but he didn't quite believe it: This Gojid was obviously favored by Dojur, and yet he still obviously went through untold suffering.
Isif clenched his jaws at the mental picture: Wriss being blasted to slag from orbit, armies of House Koth warriors storming hundreds of Federation and Arxur worlds, billions enslaved and shipped back to Vitruna and Salralia, and the downfall of the Federation and Dominion alike. But worst of all, he saw the last and final destruction of Earth: The humans he had grown to appreciate would not stand for Dojur and his ways. Yet if he were to succeed, then there would be no more know enemies to conquer; the galaxy would be under Dojur’s heel, and he would truly fulfill the prophecy of the Slayer King. Part of it elated him, knowing that Dojur was better than Giznel and The office of Betterment. But much more of his soul wept, knowing that what the galaxy might just lose would be much worse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note written on April 17th, 2139
I never knew just how far Dojur was willing to go once he found out the truth of the Dominion’s pact with the Koloshians and the Farsul. His anger… I had never seen anything like it. Perhaps he truly was what he was rumored to be; the Slayer King reborn, an Arxur ascended to godhood after a lifetime of heroism and conquest.
But what concerns me more is that I cannot follow in his footsteps, even if he is the prophesized one. The UN will never put up with Dojur and House Koth; the humans see themselves as the beacon of hope in the galaxy, the one race that will correct everything, the suture to mend the seeping wound that separates the galaxy into two festering infections. Dojur will not allow them to treat many of the prey as equals; he might be more open-minded about the Gojids and the Harchens than betterment ever would be, and he shares my appreciation for humankind, but he will never be willing to extend that to the gentler races. They shall become subjects at best, and slaves at worst, and there may be nothing I can do about it.
Now I can only hope the rest of the galaxy is ready to counter him when he strikes. If not, I weep for what could have been.

I've encountered a couple of issues in this load order that have me puzzled. My dialogue boxes are now showing up blank without any text. The order issue is that I'm constantly getting corrupted savegames both of the fake variety and the real ones too. Any insight into what might be doing it is greatly appreciated.

...It's been a hot minute hasn't it?
I know, it's been over 2 years since the last post, you must have some questions; where's Chapter 5? why did you guys disappear? is the manga canceled? Fortunately, I'm here to answer your questions.

Where's Chapter 5?

In short: Chapter 5 has long since been canceled.
Around the time Chapter 5 was just entering production, we at the RM team decided it be best to just drop the project. We had a lot of RM based projects we were doing at the time, such as digital remasters of older chapters and even a Japanese translation for whatever reason, it was just too much to do all at the same time, in addition, the pandemic really slowed us down, as realities was at its peak when it was just a fun thing me and my irls were doing at school during lunch, and we missed out on that, and eventually lost that experience as we entered high school (as a matter of fact, we're currently finishing our Junior Year as of writing this).

Why did we Disappear?

As stated above, it can be attributed to the Cancelation of Chapter 5 as well as us focusing on our school lives. Of course, the pandemic had its input in this too. Fun fact: Chapter 2 of RM was in the making just months before the lockdown hit, and the subreddit was created during the Pandemic as a way for us to continue on this little project we had going on. The pandemic really took away an important part as to what made RM fun to me as the artist and writer of the manga.

Is the Manga Canceled?

Short answer: No, at least not yet.
As much as drawing comics is a drag for my ADHD brain, I'm not willing to let Realities go, it played an important part in my friendships during a really, really bad time for my mental health. I know it sounds corny as shit but I do mean it when I say that RM means a lot to me on a personal level and I just can't bring myself to let it go forever.

What are we doing now?

As of now, the RM team is just doing our own things and living our best lives, 3 of us are still good friends today (as stated above, we're on our way to finishing up high school), and we all share a mutual feeling regarding Realities' existence. So as of recent, we decided we should try and give RM one last shot, we're gonna try and work off of where Chapter 4 left off from our collective memory and write a continuation of Realities from there.
There's gonna be a bit of a hassle for any newcomers and returning fans, as a majority of Chapter 4 is now lost media, in addition, a handful of the Japanese translations for older RM chapters based on the digital remasters are lost media, which is a good chunk of RM's older history down the drain. I think it would be best if we got to that when we got to that, though.

TL;DR

We're back in business after 2 years of sitting on an old project.
With this, I hope us at the RM team can pull through and get stuff done with how we plan to handle this project.

In order to turn a profit, an entrepreneur must first establish a business. Our current understanding of entrepreneurship, on the other hand, takes into account the sector’s growing capacity to address societal challenges and bring about fundamental shifts. If you want to learn entrepreneurship training courses, Burraq Engineering Institute Lahore provides the best online and physical Entrepreneurship Training courses in Pakistan. You can learn more engineering courses from Burraq Engineering Solutions. Online and physical classes are available. The ability to influence others’ ideas is not required for success as an entrepreneur, although it can be an outgrowth of the position. Our thriving economy is in large part due to the efforts of our many enterprising citizens. There are some risks that not everyone is willing to accept, and starting over from scratch is one of them.

Entrepreneurship Discipline

Improved living conditions, the generation of new wealth, and a rise in both employment and national income are the results. Entrepreneurs can also play a role in closing the “digital divide,” or the difference in internet access between the world’s rich and poor. Entrepreneurship as a discipline is changing quickly to keep up with the pace of technological development and consumer demand for novel products and services. Nonetheless, in the modern business environment, lone-wolf entrepreneur is held in the highest regard because of the stereotype that they are ambitious risk-takers.

Project-based entrepreneurship

More and more ambitious people today want to forge their own paths in life and work, and they’re not afraid to do what it takes to get there. Hence, business creation and development occur in cycles, just like other aspects of the economy and the industrial sector. Positive development and new innovations are anticipated in the long run, but there may be some short-term disruption. When considering your options, it is helpful to first gain a firm grasp on the various forms that entrepreneurship can take. Cultural, ethnic, religious, feminist, institutional, millennial, emergent, and project-based entrepreneurship are all subsets of the aforementioned four broad categories.

Global market economy

You should be familiar with the following four types. Entrepreneurship is the process of creating and leading a business endeavor for financial gain while assuming a high degree of personal risk. The willingness to embark on a new enterprise is the essence of entrepreneurship. The role of entrepreneurs in the rising global market economy cannot be overstated. Having a complete say over your tasks can motivate you to perform at your best. There are numerous advantages to establishing oneself as a leader in the workplace.

Entrepreneurship Leadership

One of the benefits sought in a professional career is the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Many people’s mental images of entrepreneurs include those of creative risk-takers. Innovation and the ability to be creative in coming up with fresh company concepts are necessary for successful entrepreneurship. In order to succeed, an entrepreneur needs capable leadership and the ability to work together effectively. Choosing entrepreneurship means you want to be your own boss, have complete say over how you run your business, and set the tone for your staff.

Advantages of Entrepreneurship

Successful business owners and operators have the advantage of being able to make the decisions that will bring them the most benefit. It’s no secret that doing business in today’s age of social media and cutting-edge technology is no easy feat. The existence of an entrepreneur is not made easier by the fact that there are many tools at their disposal. Numerous modern methods of advertising have simplified the process of getting your message out. Some aspiring business owners may benefit from having family members help them launch their company.

Hey!
I did law school back in my home country but soon realized it wasn't my cup of tea. It's been 5 years now that I have been working as a social media manager for online gaming companies. However, I feel that there are still some knowledge gaps that I need to fill, especially technical skills such as SEO and Analytics. I learned everything I know by practicing, but I feel like I need to dive deeper into the technical part of (digital) marketing.
An international non-marketing degree is not always viewed favorably by recruiters, even though I can speak three languages and have several years of experience.
That being said, I'm wondering what would be the best program for me to pursue. I'm looking for an online program that can offer me more technical knowledge in marketing. I currently live in Minnesota, but I'm moving to North Carolina soon.
Note: Unfortunately, as a recent immigrant, I don't have $100K-ish to spend on a program, and for obvious reasons I'm not eligible for veteran benefits either.
Can anyone recommend specific programs that fit my criteria? Should I go for an MBA or a Master's program? Or something else?
Thanks!

I met him on vacation. Even though he and I only hung out at the pool for two days, we had a connection. Even other people our age at the resort noticed our chemistry. One night, he was super drunk, and told everyone he liked me. The next day, everyone told me. They kept saying stuff like "oh look, your boyfriend's here" and "(crush's name) if you ever visit (my name's) town, you should stay at her house". I couldn't stop smiling knowing that he liked me. But I feel like such an idiot now, because my crush seemed kind of annoyed at their efforts to get us together. I went up to him and asked him if he liked me. He told me he had a girlfriend, and got upset at everyone for telling me.
After the trip, I tried requesting him on Instagram. We live in different countries, and honestly, I wanted validation that our friendship was okay, and that it was a misunderstanding. He left the request pending for two weeks before rejecting it. I think he was trying to be as nice as he could, but I realized he really did have a girlfriend, because why else would he say no? So I requested him for five or ten minutes, and then I blocked him, and kept him blocked for the next day and a half. But that night, I was so sad because I never had a guy like me back. I cried myself to sleep and I used up half of the tissue box.
Update: he and his girlfriend broke up two months later, and I very strongly suspect that he's been looking at my social media. I also suspect that he told people about me blocking him, because one of our friends posted a Snap to the public asking "what's on your mind?"

I'm the friend that gives everyone nicknames, whether family, comrades, chicks. I will call you a nickname that you dont even know you have and sometimes it sticks. Heres a few of my favorite nicknames for the boys!!
#1 Magikelle, its soooo simple and a play on the word Magical, and we all can agree that our Point Gawd is Magikelle with the ball in his hand and even more so on the defensive end. I posted this for the first time Media Day when he was speaking with Florida Sports News and they let the players view the live stream as they were being interviewed, when she showed him the comments he saw Magikelle and was like " I like that, you see that one right there I like that" Check the tape
#2 MOD, The minister of the Defense is still an insane nickname for JI, he will be back Maning one of the back up big spots next year.
#3 Prototype P v.5 Every time I get cooking with P on 2k or he gets it going in a game, I call him Prototype P, They compared the kid to LBJ and Melo lmao only word that describes Paolo to me and thats "prototype" he is built for this.
#4 Boogie(Franzchise) x Moe Swag SUPER SWAGNER BROS
#5 CloseEmOut Cole aka The C.E.O As we saw tonight, Cole Anthony is a huge piece to this puzzle and when he gets it rolling in the 4th my entire household is screaming CLOSE EM OUT COLE!!!!!
#6 Chum Buck3t (Sticky Fingers Okeke) man house I miss getting hype for my man Chum, #FREECHUM
Just a few of my PERSONAL favorites, What do you like to call the guys when they get rolling or what Ideas do you all have for some cool nicknames!!! Great Win boys enjoy some Pizza, and see yall next episode of The New Adventures of Magikelle and The Magic Kingdom vs Nets.

i think that people do not feel good about themselves
they get into relationship not because they want to connect with someone on a deep level but because they want their partner to make them feel good, flaunt them like an achievement, have it as a metric of success because being in a relationship is to some extent a kind of achievement and that too a good successful relationship? that is a gold medal. people i know who appear to have good relationship from the outside if you go closer you will see loopholes and emotional distance between them. it is like two roommates living together.
there is a reason why entertainment industry is a billion dollar industry, because it makes people feel good. music, TV, shows, media, songs, comedy, these are all dream like state to escape your natural feelings of inferiority and insecurities. there is no shortcut to self improvement. you have to work through your psychological and emotional problems that people do not want to do and cannot afford to do. so they numb their problems with outside things to manipulate their emotions and alter their moods for short time. a wikipedia article says that entertainment industry serves no value other than gratification and pleasure.
when a lot of people start doing the same thing, it becomes a culture, a norm, a rule. life is like onions, you have to peel the layers to know the depths of what why how things exist. but to get to that level you have to go through extensive self destruction and self questioning. since it is not possible for everyone, they hold these social and cultural structures in place so as not to fall into chaos and confusion. but the chaos itself is the source of discovery.
everything is in some way a kind of ego boost and to make one feel good about oneself, for performance, a public spectacle, for an audience, to impress someone
the moment you start doing something because others do it too, you have contributed to a structure that is narcissistic. reddit, social media, TED talks, everything is narcissistic. "stroke my ego, scratch my back" while i pretend to be a character. if you read myths and fairytales, you will see that everything that happens to us has been imagined by someone already. which means to say that our stories are not unique. they are products of mind.

Hi there. I’ve been looking around the subreddit and have a few questions about OCD and the symptoms of OCD.
I have a current diagnosis of CPTSD, DID, BPD, and ASD. They tell me that because of the nature of my trauma and family history etc etc, they feel like I’m at the intersection of literally every disorder in the DSM. I have anxiety, panic attacks, dissociative seizures/PNES, flashbacks etc. and with the DID, I’m multiple neurological patterns that are trigger dependent and cause memory dysfunction. The thing that I live with constantly is, as I have read here before, a constant stream of consciousness of hideous things. And relieving behaviours. Some constantly repetitive, some aren’t good for me. My doctor at my last visit told me that I would certainly benefit from resources for OCD as well because many of my symptoms are the same.
My problem is that my treatment of my other symptoms requires that I encourage, entertain, and validate my inner environment, trust the voices in my head, . But I read here that I must firmly reject this validation seeking. How do you like… differentiate what to entertain and what to reject? My experience is like having multiple, conflicting internal monologues, that beyond my control can and routinely do take over my mind and body.
Im not seeking any diagnoses or reassurance. I have what sounds like a similar experience often and want to know what the management for these symptoms is. I would also love any media/resources. Thank you for reading.

how do I get over my ex? Was dating this guy since Feb of last year and we were inseparable. We started dating only a month after meeting and we had a pretty good relationship. In December I started getting depressed and we broke up early jan. I initiated the breakup because I wanted reassurance and felt really upset over a situation I was dealing with. We talked it through when I realized I didn’t want to actually break up but he said he felt relieved. Only a week and a half later he deleted our playlist and made one with a new girl (his sisters friend). She had been following me for a couple months but I didn’t realize because she lives in his hometown where his sister lives. Anyways, I went to his house upset and he ended up blocking me on all social media. Within not even two weeks of that she was going to his family shows and commenting on his moms things. She is already on his friends social medias.. how do I get over this with no closure? We ran into each other on our way to work and I asked to talk and he said “I’m out,” and walked away. We have a cat together and had plans to live with each other in the summer. It feels so hurtful that I was going through a lot and he decided to leave but also moved on so fast..
