2023.04.01 21:47 Dietrichmentions Living as a monk for a year!
I hope rhyming clickbait-y title got you here-but it is indeed all true.
Here is a super short TLDR: 1)I once had a great and promising life 2)Drugs and mental issues ruined it 3)I got clean, but i still suffer and my life has no direction 4) now I want to devote my life to helping others and living an alternative lifestyle 5)First I have to get my mind right and Im doing this by going away to live like a monk for a year.
Im looking for “pen-pals” more or less. If yur interested- read below. You will find a lm email adress.
I am all of those things and I am going away for a whole year to live as a monk…sort of. More on that soon.
First I wanna quickly tell you how I came from the brink of destruction to the precipice of profound change.
I’ve lived quite a full life so far. I grew up religious, then became an atheist. Then I partied. Graduated college with honors. Won awards for my writing. Then I partied harder. Got engaged to a beautiful girl (who coincidentally helped me come to terms with my gayness). We traveled the world together, and partied. Then we split and I bounced around playing in bands and… you guessed it.. partying!
That was up to about age 25- then things got dark. Heroin and cocaine became a daily part of my life.
Fast forward through a brutal battle with addiction- and I came out victorious- BUT- it was a bit of a phyrric victory.
You see, I have never been the same since. I’ve always struggled with Adhd and social anxiety, but everything got worse when I spent 5 years doing nothing with my life. I became EXTREMELY isolated well before the pandemic made it mandatory.
I still sometimes relapsed and I moved in with my step grandfather- he is the only family i have left- the problem is- he is very emotionally abusive, angry and controlling.
He drove away every other family member that we had. I had no options tough, nowhere I could stay.
So- Now I just turned 33 and I am a hapless man child. I have nothing, and my self esteem has eroded away almost completely. Anxiety has crippled me.
But… I have dreams still- and a purpose to strive toward- and one last chance.
I want to devote my life helping others directly and in many different ways- any ways! I want to do that while living a minimalist and van dwelling lifestyle.
Thats all I’m going to say about that for now though because that comes later- this is about my next big move.
A move that will break the cycle I’ve been in for far too long.
There is an old nunnery in Detroit, MI where a group of men live a very simple life. They serve, study, pray and meditate and thats about it. No technology, no money- no contact with outside world unless its to serve.
I will be spending a year with them in that place. Basically living the life of a monk.
I hope that if you are reading this- then maybe you would be interested in staying in contact with me for whatever reasons you want. For me- I just wanted to reach put and find others like me and maybe we could learn from and help each other.
Anyway, if you want to stay in touch let me know by emailing me at:
(Ask in my direct message plz this post keeps getting removed and idk why)
I’m Tadgh btw! Pronounced like Tige(r).
Please understand however- once I go in for the year- I will only be able to leave for a couple days once every month or 3! So it may be a while before I can respond to the emails but I will try my best!
One more thing
I do not have time l do much more before I leave so if you wouldn’t mind please share this with anyone or anywhere that seems interested/appropriate. Thank you!

2023.04.01 21:47 firesidestories23 The Forbidden Ruins: A Tale of Terror Part 3
A magic circle appears on the ground in front of the ancient ruins. The group is transported to the entrance in a flash of light. John falls to his knees and starts to cry.
"It killed them," he screams.
John continues to sob uncontrollably. Kiera attempts to comfort him, but he lashes out. He pushes her away and starts to draw his sword. Marcus lunges to protect Kiera just as the sword's tip is removed from the sheath. In one swooping motion, John swings at Marcus. Luckily, because of his state of mind, John misses. Lilith walks up to John and flicks him on the forehead. John's eyes glaze over; his legs give out and he falls to the ground.
"What the hell was that?" Marcus questions.
"A simple paralysis spell," Lilith explains.
"Not that; why did he attack Kiera?"
"He didn't intentionally attack her. The orb fractured his mind, and Kiera was the closest when it finally broke."
"How the hell do you know so much about that orb thing?"
"My father told me stories from the war."
Marcus looks at Lilith, waiting for her to elaborate. "Would you care to fill us in?"
The group decides to make camp near the ruins before returning to Arcadia. Lilith sets up a tent for John and tends to the paralysis spell she placed on him while Marcus and Kiera start a campfire. After Lilith confirmed John's vital signs were normal, she started cooking dinner. She serves Marcus and Kiera a hot bowl of steaming venison stew. They start eating, waiting for Lilith to begin her story.
"At the beginning of the war, 8 years ago, two armies from the elf and human nations met in a field near a human village. The war had not yet begun, and this battle was over territory encroachment. The nearby village was expanding, and the humans needed more land to cultivate food for the growing population. The elves, however, claimed the forest to be theirs. In the middle of the battle, soldiers from both sides stop suddenly to look at a glowing red orb that appeared in the sky over the village. It stayed there for several minutes. It didn't move, didn't change in size or color. It just sat there. The fighting had stopped; it seemed to be a gift from the gods. But, just as the soldiers were heading back to camp, the orb disappeared, and a powerful shockwave destroyed the village. Some of the soldiers even reported feeling the shockwave from 4 furlongs away. The humans accused the elves of the destruction and retaliated by destroying an elven village, and the war started. My father and I were the only survivors when our village got destroyed by those disgusting…." Lilith pauses to take a deep breath. She cannot allow her emotions to control her.
"None of this makes sense," Kiera says.
"What do you mean?" Marcus asks.
"“None of this makes sense,” Kiera says.
First, why would an orb from 8 years ago be seen here in century-old ruins? And secondly, why were they reported to be a base for goblins when that is obviously not the case."
"Maybe someone has a sick sense of humor?" Lilith suggests.
The group is interrupted as John emerges from his tent and joins them by the fire.
"How are you feeling?" Lilith asks.
"A bit nauseous," he says.
Lilith prepares a bowl of stew broth and hands it to John, "This should help."
"I overheard you talking about the quest, and I had a crazy thought," John says as he slowly sips the broth. "When I met you, Marcus, you said you already had a quest."
"That is right," Marcus says. "The Guild master personally asked us to complete it."
"So, if you were picked for the job, someone may be targeting you three."
Marcus, Kiera, and Lilith look at each other in bewilderment. They can't believe the guild master would be involved in such a heinous plot.
John notices their concerned looks and tries to reassure them, "the job was probably passed through many hands before it reached the guild master. Whoever this person is, they're covering their tracks."
The four adventurers sit silently by the fire, contemplating their next move. Marcus and Kiera decide it's best if they get some sleep and continue formulating a plan in the morning. They head to their tents while Lilith and John remain by the fire.
"I'm sure you have many questions," Lilith says
"I do, but first, why do you trust me?" John asks.
"Because you have lost everything as I have."
"But we lost them in different ways. I lost mine to a powerful unknown entity while humans killed yours. So again, why do you trust me, a human?"
"I do not hate a person just because they are the same race that destroyed my village. And you did not learn about the orb until about an hour ago."
"I had already known the orb wasn't of elven origin 2 years after the incident. I was determined to find the one that killed my family. Throughout my research, I discovered that no dark elf can produce something of that magnitude."
"Well, uh...yes and no. No dark elf, as you call us, has the magical capacity to achieve something on that scale, but there is a race of elves on the northern continent who can."
Lilith explains that after her village was attacked, she began having nightmares. One occurred over and over again about a man with no name and no face. It seemed as if he would appear in her dreams purposefully. He would greet her as if they knew each other and show her his magic power.
"Are you telling me you can create an orb like the one in the ruins…?" John asks.
"yes," Lilith replies.
John stares silently at the campfire as he processes this new information.
"I'm not involved in any of this if that's what you're thinking," Lilith says defensively.
"Sure you aren’t. It was quite convenient that you put up the barrier only after the orb nearly killed us all."
"I said we needed to leave. Marcus and Kiera listened to me, but you were in shock."
John picks up a piece of firewood and tosses it on the fire. "It's going to be difficult trusting you in the future."
Lilith stands up, "why don't you sleep on it. We can discuss it more tomorrow." Lilith leaves John by the fire and walks toward her tent. She hears a faint rustling in the bushes near the forest's edge. She looks back to see John still staring into the fire. She turns back toward the woods, holds her out hands, and casts 'detect thoughts.'
"Hello, my dear Lilith," A voice says in her mind.
Lilith's eyes grow wide as she recognizes the voice. It is the man who appeared in her dreams.

2023.04.01 21:45 rosedamask Anyone else not having a bridal shower, but your partner is having a bachelor's?
I don't have any friends to have a bridal shower, simply put.
I spent years battling a mental illness which made me lose all my friends.
I am now a very shy person with literally 0 friends. I don't have a best friend even, nobody to talk to and I'm an only child.
I am friends with my partner's friends, but only one of them has a girlfriend and we are still getting to know each other.
I feel so alone and I don't know what I'm gonna say when my partner's friends ask if I'm gonna have a bridal shower.
I honestly want to cry. I'm dreading the day my partner has his bachelors because I will be so miserable. I'm happy he has friends, but I can't help but feel like I wish I had the same you know.
I binged all day because of this and I massacred my face yet I still feel as bad. Thankfully my wedding is still a few months away.
How can I deal with this? I know it shouldn't be a big deal but loneliness is scary and I am so tied of it.

2023.04.01 21:44 Dietrichmentions Anxiety ridden queer lives as a monk for a year!
I hope rhyming clickbait-y title got you here-but it is indeed all true.
Here is a super short TLDR: 1)I once had a great and promising life 2)Drugs and mental issues ruined it 3)I got clean, but i still suffer and my life has no direction 4) now I want to devote my life to helping others and living an alternative lifestyle 5)First I have to get my mind right and Im doing this by going away to live like a monk for a year.
Im looking for “pen-pals” more or less. If yur interested- read below. You will find a lm email adress.
I am all of those things and I am going away for a whole year to live as a monk…sort of. More on that soon.
First I wanna quickly tell you how I came from the brink of destruction to the precipice of profound change.
I’ve lived quite a full life so far. I grew up religious, then became an atheist. Then I partied. Graduated college with honors. Won awards for my writing. Then I partied harder. Got engaged to a beautiful girl (who coincidentally helped me come to terms with my gayness). We traveled the world together, and partied. Then we split and I bounced around playing in bands and… you guessed it.. partying!
That was up to about age 25- then things got dark. Heroin and cocaine became a daily part of my life.
Fast forward through a brutal battle with addiction- and I came out victorious- BUT- it was a bit of a phyrric victory.
You see, I have never been the same since. I’ve always struggled with Adhd and social anxiety, but everything got worse when I spent 5 years doing nothing with my life. I became EXTREMELY isolated well before the pandemic made it mandatory.
I still sometimes relapsed and I moved in with my step grandfather- he is the only family i have left- the problem is- he is very emotionally abusive, angry and controlling.
He drove away every other family member that we had. I had no options tough, nowhere I could stay.
So- Now I just turned 33 and I am a hapless man child. I have nothing, and my self esteem has eroded away almost completely. Anxiety has crippled me.
But… I have dreams still- and a purpose to strive toward- and one last chance.
I want to devote my life helping others directly and in many different ways- any ways! I want to do that while living a minimalist and van dwelling lifestyle.
Thats all I’m going to say about that for now though because that comes later- this is about my next big move.
A move that will break the cycle I’ve been in for far too long.
There is an old nunnery in Detroit, MI where a group of men live a very simple life. They serve, study, pray and meditate and thats about it. No technology, no money- no contact with outside world unless its to serve.
I will be spending a year with them in that place. Basically living the life of a monk.
I hope that if you are reading this- then maybe you would be interested in staying in contact with me for whatever reasons you want. For me- I just wanted to reach put and find others like me and maybe we could learn from and help each other.
Anyway, if you want to stay in touch let me know by emailing me at:
[email protected].
I’m Tadgh btw! Pronounced like Tige(r).
Please understand however- once I go in for the year- I will only be able to leave for a couple days once every month or 3! So it may be a while before I can respond to the emails but I will try my best!
One more thing
I do not have time l do much more before I leave so if you wouldn’t mind please share this with anyone or anywhere that seems interested/appropriate. Thank you!

2023.04.01 21:43 patixnce Is it worth it? Career in the armed forces 2023
Controversial title I know, depends on what you want out of it, who you are ect. I'm gonna do my best to quickly explain my situation without dragging on too much, but genuine, constructive and thought out answers from serious people who have experience both in life and in the millitary, and also have knowledge somewhat on the current standards and situation in the armed forces 2023.
I'm 19M from London. I have spent years trying to join the armed forces, it's all I ever wanted to do as a child, I left school early at 15 due to going to a really harsh school in South london filled with gang culture and violence that had a toll on my mental health, I didn't fit in at all not wanted to so left and just focused on what I wanted at life being joining the armed forces. I wanted to be apart of something bigger than me, develop myself into the person I wanted to become and embrace the challenges of the job whilst working in a team of like minded people, I knew civi Street would never be for me and this was 100% what I wanted and where I belonged.
Upon applying at 16 innocently, followed a long hard fought battle with Capita which lasted years which I won't go into too much detail in but will do my best to explain. Medically deferred for a year, waited the year and applied and was then rejected although circumstances of medical had not changed, went to MPCT, a college run by veterans that prepares young people for the armed forces, was there for a year and applied again to strengthen my case, rejected again and was told what I needed to do to appeal, took a very very long time to gather all the things I needed including some more experience on my shoulder, I well and truly went all out for this. Was reassured multiple times that this is what I need to do to pass the appeal and there shouldn't be any problems, I went above and beyond and got rejected still after back and forth with them and poor admin issues on their side. Applied for the marines, was never in the plan or what I wanted to do, alot of it down to no thats too hard but I seriously wanted to push myself, got accepted and my motivation sky rocketed. I wanted to get in as soon as possible after being unemployed for a year and putting all my time and effort into trying to get into the armed forces. I trained like hell, put myself through so much physical and mental pain to further develop my resilience and to just get to basic as soon as I could. I then had the medical screening with one of the doctors working for capita and she seriously did everything to get me rejected. First the microscopic blood in my urine which she confirmed was just from training too hard but I need to be deffered for it anyway, and then once I had spent back and forth with my GP for the 100th time and stopping training, got everything cleared up, but then was rejected for my mental health from when I was 14 years old yet again after they had already accepted it.
My motivation for it has seriously become below 0 now. I have genuinely stayed as resilient as I could the past 4 years and fought and tried my absolute hardest, knockdown after knockdown I've built myself back up from nothing in several aspects of life, however I've gotten no where with my aspiration to be in the armed forces.

I'm seriously stuck on what to do. Do I stick it out with the police and make a career out of that? Do reserves and work both jobs? What would my best options be. I know at the end of the day only I can decide but I'm just desperate for wisdom and advice as someone who's only just really stepped into the adult world. Answers will be very appreciated.

I'm 19M from London. I have spent years trying to join the armed forces, it's all I ever wanted to do as a child, I left school early at 15 due to going to a really harsh school in South london filled with gang culture and violence that had a toll on my mental health, I didn't fit in at all not wanted to so left and just focused on what I wanted at life being joining the armed forces. I wanted to be apart of something bigger than me, develop myself into the person I wanted to become and embrace the challenges of the job whilst working in a team of like minded people, I knew civi Street would never be for me and this was 100% what I wanted and where I belonged.
Upon applying at 16 innocently, followed a long hard fought battle with Capita which lasted years which I won't go into too much detail in but will do my best to explain. Medically deferred for a year, waited the year and applied and was then rejected although circumstances of medical had not changed, went to MPCT, a college run by veterans that prepares young people for the armed forces, was there for a year and applied again to strengthen my case, rejected again and was told what I needed to do to appeal, took a very very long time to gather all the things I needed including some more experience on my shoulder, I well and truly went all out for this. Was reassured multiple times that this is what I need to do to pass the appeal and there shouldn't be any problems, I went above and beyond and got rejected still after back and forth with them and poor admin issues on their side. Applied for the marines, was never in the plan or what I wanted to do, alot of it down to no thats too hard but I seriously wanted to push myself, got accepted and my motivation sky rocketed. I wanted to get in as soon as possible after being unemployed for a year and putting all my time and effort into trying to get into the armed forces. I trained like hell, put myself through so much physical and mental pain to further develop my resilience and to just get to basic as soon as I could. I then had the medical screening with one of the doctors working for capita and she seriously did everything to get me rejected. First the microscopic blood in my urine which she confirmed was just from training too hard but I need to be deffered for it anyway, and then once I had spent back and forth with my GP for the 100th time and stopping training, got everything cleared up, but then was rejected for my mental health from when I was 14 years old yet again after they had already accepted it.

2023.04.01 21:42 patixnce Is it worth it?
Controversial title I know, depends on what you want out of it, who you are ect. I'm gonna do my best to quickly explain my situation without dragging on too much, but genuine, constructive and thought out answers from serious people who have experience both in life and in the millitary, and also have knowledge somewhat on the current standards and situation in the armed forces 2023.

2023.04.01 21:39 unicornmm1920 I feel like a consistently choose the wrong battle to fight, and this morning it ended with me throwing out my own bagel in frustration.
I know it’s all about choosing your battles with a toddler, but GD if I don’t seem to always pick the wrong one. Daughter, just turned 3, likes to pick her clothes, throws a fit if she doesn’t. Fine, pick your clothes. This morning was a cream cardigan (mistake #1, even buying anything cream for a toddler). I make breakfast, oatmeal for her and a bagel for myself with jam. We sit down to eat, she immediately wants to try my bagel (which she virtually never does, but still that’s mistake #+2 for even bringing jam into the situation). Cream clothes and cherry jam equals a mess and her freaking out because she doesn’t like stains on her clothes. I offer to give her a small slice. Cue a freak out that I’m not handing her the whole bagel. I say it’s the slice or nothing. She takes the slice, drops it of course, and freaks out that there’s now jam on the sweater. We get that cleaned up and she goes back to freaking out about wanting the whole bagel (I did offer to get her her own, which was rejected with extreme prejudice). So I threw my bagel, which I’d had one bite of, in the trash. I know, not the best reaction. The teething 9 month old was up at 2 am and again at 5 am, so I’m running on fumes and my patience was nonexistent. My husband did try to help at one point, but she just screamed and tried to hit him, and since he was dealing with the baby, he removed himself so that wouldn’t escalate. With no bagel to argue over, she did chill out after that, and happily ate her oatmeal. It just so freaking hard sometimes, and I’m so tired so much of the time, I feel like I’m losing all ability to make the right choices to navigate her emotions.

2023.04.01 21:36 dogglesnake ChocoPro 303 🍫 Need a bit more wrestling this weekend? How about Smiling Violence, Monsters, and Ryuichi Sekine & Mochi Natsumi VS EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno)! Tonight at 11 pm EDT, Live & Free on YouTube
ChocoPro 303: Egg ResTart It’s ChocoMania weekend! Tonight’s solitary episode features some rare combinations: Sayaka takes on Masa in singles, the Utility Players face off against the forces of UMA (including Nightmare Factory’s Kojio!), and EGG TART finally reforms to battle two of the wildest Ichigaya has ever housed. Let’s Go, ChocoPro!
🍫 CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK! ChocoPro 303 🍫 Sayaka VS Masa Takanashi, Choun Shiryu & Shin Suzuki VS Sayaka Obihiro & Kojio, Ryuichi Sekine & Mochi Natsumi VS EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno)! It airs TONIGHT at 11 pm EDT / 8 pm PDT (Tomorrow at 4 am BST, 12 pm JST). Live and Free on YouTube!
Drunken Monkey Masa Takanashi is ready for anything! The belt collecting president of Gatoh Move is known for racking up wins as much as he does bar tabs, representing many companies with a swagger and slick technique that will have you questioning just how tipsy he is! The Counter Fighter of ChocoPro baits his opponents into reversals and trickery that will have them staring at the lights or tapping out in quick fashion. He’s got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but will he be able to handle overwhelming power? Takanashi had better keep up that fancy footwork or he’ll find himself hammered into oblivion! OrePan might have been fended off once by CDK, but Sayaka is still aiming for that big win.
Fresh off an appearance at GanJo, Sayaka Obihiro is cool as hell! With a deep sense of humor and lightning quick striking & pinning techniques, Obi rules...but she is a bit...different...when she teams with Monsters. The charismatic full time chef has got a great set of flame gear and an intense uncontrollable style. Even if she’s gone feral, you'll find yourself enchanted by her brash nature and wild antics! Strange and occult happenings are somewhat common in Ichigaya, and the mysterious organization known as UMA features many monsters that just so happen to wrestle. Horrors from across the world are attracted to ChocoPro due to their influence...Speaking of which, a cold wind brings a shadow over Ichigaya once again! Hailing from Parts Unknown and trained at the Nightmare Factory (which makes even more sense given that sinister look!), kojio’s frightening presence made him fit right in with the other Monsters of UMA. With brawling brutality, vicious submissions, and an absolutely wicked set of gear that makes him look like a character straight from a comic book, kojio scares his opponents and impresses the audience with his relentless nature and bone chilling aura. That laugh is something else! This unstoppable monster has been a wonderful addition to Ichigaya, but how long will he accept Obi taking pinfalls? I wouldn’t want to upset him!
It has been a long time, but they’re back together! Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno, the combination known as EGG TART, are a hot and cold team. Opposites definitely attract, and the polar attraction results in some of the craziest team attacks you will ever witness! “Too Much Energy” Chie brings an uncontrollable excitement wherever she goes (including recently GanJo), sprinting around the Square and delivering lightning quick striking...often from the air! Her tightly locked Stretch Mufflers and eye catching arm drags will have you shouting as much as she does. The Frantic Fencer is one of the most popular characters in all of ChocoPro! Her Wintery partner on the other hand is a remorseless killing machine...and the Super Asia Champion! Hagane’s icy ferocity usually brings about ugly thuds via heavy striking and brutal slams. The “Cold Killer” earned his epithet by easily dispatching some of the best the promotion has to offer! This ageless assassin only shows emotion around his chaotic partner...and together they amplify one another’s personality! These two have limitless potential, and now that Hagane has the Big Blue Belt they will also have limitless enemies looking for an opportunity!
Enjoy all the wrestling this weekend!
Come and see the wild creativity that produced Two of the Seven AEW Women's World Champions! (Both of which have appeared on ChocoPro!) You'll be wondering if you're seeing future champs, as well. ChocoPro is the Frontier of Pro Wrestling! Match after match of hard hitting, chaotic, fun bouts with a friendly online audience. We're quickly growing, and you're welcome to come along!

VS
Masa Takanashi 🍶
Violence & Booze
“I'm gonna kill you! Yayyyyy!” While she has become infamous for her unsettling quotes, “Smiling Violence” Sayaka is known more for her ungodly brutal striking power. Those explosion like forearms stagger even the toughest opponents in Ichigaya! Add in Sayaka’s pin point dropkicking ability and her growing talent in pins and submissions, and Masa might find that the rising Twitch star is just too much to handle. Sayaka’s unnerving cheerfulness while she does vicious things provides her with a big presence in the square. That unattached joy will eventually be the stuff of legends! (After all, she’s “happy to beat someone”!) Don't forget, Sayaka hangs out around Minoru Suzuki and survives to tell the tale! Will we see a Hammer of the Gods? This photogenic phenom is on the rise, keep an eye on her!Drunken Monkey Masa Takanashi is ready for anything!

Choun Shiryu 🐉 & Shin Suzuki 🍙
VS
UMA+ (Sayaka Obihiro 💙 & KOJIO 💀)
Utility, Monsters, Action!
Monsters? “So what!?” Choun Shiryu is here! The Dragon of ChocoPro is a Wuxia hero (having done some of the most spectacular acts in Ichigaya) with his own fantastic flair! He is one of the most legitimate forces in the promotion. This Kung Fu master boasts a truly unique fighting style, pulling off action movie stunts you’ll not find elsewhere. While his usual partner is taking some time away from wrestling, (though Ninja Sayuri is still behind the scenes, as is tradition!) this time his partner is fellow utility player Shin Suzuki! Shin is always ready to go! His warm personality and intense athleticism fit well with the general vibe of Ichigaya...and honestly, his knack for dealing with kids (as a proud father) comes in handy in this den of goblins and monsters! Shin & Choun both mesh well with just about any pairing, so expect these two to sync together with machine precision once again. Can speed and teamwork overcome this Arkham Horror?Fresh off an appearance at GanJo, Sayaka Obihiro is cool as hell!

Ryuichi Sekine 🐗 & Mochi Natsumi 🍡
VS
EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa 🏵️ & Hagane Shinno ⚔️)
Egg ResTart
A returning team up 12 years apart!? Pairing up Mochi Natsumi and Ryuichi Sekine is like putting two different kinds of explosives together. While the Rebellious Hardcore & Deathmatch Unit known as PROMINENCE has a lot of exciting members busy all over the place, Mochi has been killing it in Ichigaya. She is a dark clad fiery personality with an undeniable raw charisma. Her shocking moments of brutality are some of my favorites in the whole series. A well balanced strength and agility fighter with a good sense of humor will always thrive in Ichigaya, but Mochi has fit in as if she was always there...the same can also be said for Sekine! While he took time off to focus on his farming (and to get married to TJPW’s recently retired Nodoka Tenma), he is just as dangerous as he always was! He just also sells Rice Cakes now. Sekine is a loud, wild, completely chaotic element when it comes to Ichigaya. He’s known for obliterating stools and the environment alike! This violent farmer would stop at nothing to entertain the audience, unleashing a volatile way of fighting that usually ends with the opponent locked into the Combine. Much like his emoji (the wild boar), expect Sekine to rampage maniacally through ChocoPro once again. Good thing Mochi is always up for a good rampage! With these two together, be careful not to be overwhelmed by their wild energy and charm!It has been a long time, but they’re back together! Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno, the combination known as EGG TART, are a hot and cold team.

Come and see the wild creativity that produced Two of the Seven AEW Women's World Champions! (Both of which have appeared on ChocoPro!) You'll be wondering if you're seeing future champs, as well. ChocoPro is the Frontier of Pro Wrestling! Match after match of hard hitting, chaotic, fun bouts with a friendly online audience. We're quickly growing, and you're welcome to come along!
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:
“What is this?”
ChocoPro is a free online promotion run by AEW's Emi Sakura, that takes place in the legendary Ichigaya Chocolate Square! It features a steady pace of live Episode releases, fan interaction, season long story arcs, and much more! A place where the turnbuckles are replaced with 14th floor windows, the ropes are often replaced with fans, unforgiving walls provide creative avenues for skills otherwise unthinkable, and you can take solace in knowing that the referees usually do nothing. While it might be a shocking change at first, the intensity and storytelling will leave you wanting more.“Why are they fighting in ____?”
Short answer is that it is a cost effective, unique venue with a better availability schedule and allows the roster access for training. Emi Sakura has been using this place for a long time, and you might be surprised at some of the names that have used it (even outside of ChocoPro!). There are a few in-ring Episodes and Gatoh Move has in ring shows with crowds on the YouTube channel. Think of it like the Hart Dungeon but as a promotion, if that helps!”What are the rules?”
While special match stipulations will usually be explained before the respective matches, the general rules of ChocoPro are simple. Pins only count on the Chocolate Mat and are not broken by the edge or Wall. Submissions usually only count on the Chocolate Mat, and ARE broken by reaching the edge or wall (sometimes ceiling...). Double pins and Double submissions are legal (and encouraged) in ChocoPro Tag matches, meaning cohesive teams will always have the advantage! Count Outs only exist if specified, since many matches stray from the comfort of the Chocolate Square into the streets (and the rest of the building itself!) There is a Time Limit for each bout (based on card placement and importance) and the Referee has discretion (even if they tend to do nothing most of the time!). Every Ref is different, some have different levels of bias and speed.“How can I support them?”
Watch the show! Even if you can't see it live, the views matter! Like & Subscribe! You can join the Channel's membership for different tiers of perks...but also, you can buy single episode Sponsorship, Digital autographed photos, and more on their shop site as well as purchase shirts from PWTees (which features some great options!) If you'd like to donate or purchase a main wall sponsorship, you can via Paypal or Patreon...and don't forget to cheer for your favorites! (especially if you want to do a superchat!)”How come there aren’t a lot of comments on the threads?”
ChocoPro is a YouTube show, meaning the discourse happens live...in the chat! Those that comment in the threads on here tend to do so in order to help new viewers that might be intimidated by the fast moving chat. Don’t be afraid to just dive in though, the community is friendly.“Why are you posting this here? / Are you paid for this?”
This is a wrestling forum, and I'm trying to broaden the horizons of others! There is a lot of good wrestling out there...Plus growing the fan base means more people for me to joke around with! I honestly do believe this is what a lot of fans are looking for, even if it is too different for some! But different tastes are good. Variety is the spice of life. This is a labor of love (it really doesn't take that long) considering how much work they do to put on so many shows...for free!If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me on here or on Twitter, where I’m April Foolin’! ChocoPro is full of Mania!

2023.04.01 21:35 cozzie333 Basically told there's no options else
Hey everyone, been suffering with anxiety for over 7 years now and severely for at least 3 years now. Been on 5 different medication which the list is already shortening and can't take certain medication because of my Asthma. Been through CBT therapy twice, the 2nd time being more intensive apparently with no real outcome. Recently saw a mental health person who visits our doctors I presume once a week to literally be told my options are Medication or CBT. That is it.
They aren't bothered anymore, I've been through a traumatic past as my dad suffered with depression when I was around 17, I suffer from OCD as well as dissociative episodes and migraines which I'm on medication for. I was told to actually go on the NHS website and check for symptoms I have and basically self diagnose myself. My partner has spoken to the crisis team a while back to lead to nowhere and everyday I suffer with no help and the last Anti depressant I was on I had a reaction too and so I have come off the completely around 3 months ago now.
I know there's other help, people who have seen physiologists or counsellors and psychiatrist's and I'm offered nothing. I don't know if it's because I'm able to talk about my problems that they don't take me seriously as in my area they seem to think mental health means curling up in a ball and never talking.
Apart from private which I can't afford because I also care for my partner, I feel like there's nowhere left to turn.
I honestly feel like they don't know how to cure and sometimes even manage severe anxiety/depression and even bipolar unless you strike good with a medication working for you. Tried herbal, currently trying CBD again which still think isn't high enough doses to do anything for severe cases which I see myself as.

They aren't bothered anymore, I've been through a traumatic past as my dad suffered with depression when I was around 17, I suffer from OCD as well as dissociative episodes and migraines which I'm on medication for. I was told to actually go on the NHS website and check for symptoms I have and basically self diagnose myself. My partner has spoken to the crisis team a while back to lead to nowhere and everyday I suffer with no help and the last Anti depressant I was on I had a reaction too and so I have come off the completely around 3 months ago now.
I know there's other help, people who have seen physiologists or counsellors and psychiatrist's and I'm offered nothing. I don't know if it's because I'm able to talk about my problems that they don't take me seriously as in my area they seem to think mental health means curling up in a ball and never talking.
Apart from private which I can't afford because I also care for my partner, I feel like there's nowhere left to turn.
I honestly feel like they don't know how to cure and sometimes even manage severe anxiety/depression and even bipolar unless you strike good with a medication working for you. Tried herbal, currently trying CBD again which still think isn't high enough doses to do anything for severe cases which I see myself as.

I hope rhyming clickbait-y title got you here-but it is indeed all true.
Here is a super short TLDR: 1)I once had a great and promising life 2)Drugs and mental issues ruined it 3)I got clean, but i still suffer and my life has no direction 4) now I want to devote my life to helping others and living an alternative lifestyle 5)First I have to get my mind right and Im doing this by going away to live like a monk for a year.
Im looking for “pen-pals” more or less. If yur interested- read below. You will find a lm email adress.
I am all of those things and I am going away for a whole year to live as a monk…sort of. More on that soon.
First I wanna quickly tell you how I came from the brink of destruction to the precipice of profound change.
I’ve lived quite a full life so far. I grew up religious, then became an atheist. Then I partied. Graduated college with honors. Won awards for my writing. Then I partied harder. Got engaged to a beautiful girl (who coincidentally helped me come to terms with my gayness). We traveled the world together, and partied. Then we split and I bounced around playing in bands and… you guessed it.. partying!
That was up to about age 25- then things got dark. Heroin and cocaine became a daily part of my life.
Fast forward through a brutal battle with addiction- and I came out victorious- BUT- it was a bit of a phyrric victory.
You see, I have never been the same since. I’ve always struggled with Adhd and social anxiety, but everything got worse when I spent 5 years doing nothing with my life. I became EXTREMELY isolated well before the pandemic made it mandatory.
I still sometimes relapsed and I moved in with my step grandfather- he is the only family i have left- the problem is- he is very emotionally abusive, angry and controlling.
He drove away every other family member that we had. I had no options tough, nowhere I could stay.
So- Now I just turned 33 and I am a hapless man child. I have nothing, and my self esteem has eroded away almost completely. Anxiety has crippled me.
But… I have dreams still- and a purpose to strive toward- and one last chance.
I want to devote my life helping others directly and in many different ways- any ways! I want to do that while living a minimalist and van dwelling lifestyle.
Thats all I’m going to say about that for now though because that comes later- this is about my next big move.
A move that will break the cycle I’ve been in for far too long.
There is an old nunnery in Detroit, MI where a group of men live a very simple life. They serve, study, pray and meditate and thats about it. No technology, no money- no contact with outside world unless its to serve.
I will be spending a year with them in that place. Basically living the life of a monk.
I hope that if you are reading this- then maybe you would be interested in staying in contact with me for whatever reasons you want. For me- I just wanted to reach put and find others like me and maybe we could learn from and help each other.
Anyway, if you want to stay in touch let me know by emailing me at:
[email protected].
I’m Tadgh btw! Pronounced like Tige(r).
Please understand however- once I go in for the year- I will only be able to leave for a couple days once every month or 3! So it may be a while before I can respond to the emails but I will try my best!
One more thing
I do not have time l do much more before I leave so if you wouldn’t mind please share this with anyone or anywhere that seems interested/appropriate. Thank you!

2023.04.01 21:30 alfawskydlta My AE Experience (so far)
 | My journey into the world of quality footwear began with my search for a pair of dress shoes for my wedding. A quick google search revealed that Allen Edmonds was one of the recommended brands in my price range, which eventually led me to buy a pair of Park Avenues. After buying that pair I became more interested in high quality welted shoes and wanted a few pairs to wear in more casual settings. Diving down this rabbit hole is what led to establishing a small collection of AE footwear within the span of a couple of months. As a way of summarizing my experience so far, below is an explanation of the models I’ve accumulated and my thoughts on them. All the examples I have are Size 12 with an E Width, so feel free to consider this post an anecdotal comparison of different lasts/styles as well. submitted by alfawskydlta to allenedmonds [link] [comments] Park Ave Oxfords, Coffee, 2nds, 12E, Sole: Dainite, Last: 65, Purchase Price: $199 These were the original shoes I ordered for the purpose of wearing at my wedding. As far as fit goes, the toe box is a bit tight for me on the sides, even after a full break-in. From about the balls of my feet forwards they feel just a bit tight on the sides. While noticeable, this did not stop me from wearing them for ~9 hours on my wedding night. I did notice mild discomfort a couple times towards the end of the evening, but only just for brief moments before I was inevitably distracted by something else that was going on. Overall I don’t regret the purchase in the slightest, but I think in the future if I purchase a style from this last again I may either size up by .5 or choose a 12 EE in order to alleviate this issue. These being 2nds the only noticeable flaw I’ve seen is a pin-sized bump in one of the uppers that is obviously an inclusion from the original cut of leather, and well within what I would consider an acceptable flaw. Patton Boots (weatherproof), Natural, 1sts, 12E, Sole: Dainite, Last: 1757, Price: $349 Following the purchase of my Park Aves and after wearing them at a weekend work conference as a way of breaking them in before the big day, I decided I really wanted a pair of AEs I could wear in everyday situations. The short boot style of the Pattons appealed to me, especially since we are headed into the spring/summer months. The less aggressive style of the dainite sole (as opposed to a lug or commando sole) were also fitting since I spend a lot of time going out into urban settings and I intended this pair to fill the role of being my fashion-forward “city boot.” Fit-wise, these have been the most relaxed fitting pair of AEs I’ve bought yet, except for in the shaft area which stays as tight around your ankle as you tie the laces. I don’t feel like my feet are sliding, lifting, or shifting around substantially when I’m wearing them, but these boots overall just have a more relaxed fit than any other pair of AEs I’ve tried so far. I had these boots sized in-person at my local AE store, and I remember this size being the best fit they had, so I don’t think I’d choose to size down if I had to order them again. While I was originally a little worried about the relaxed nature of the fit, over the time that I’ve worn my Pattons I haven’t noticed any adverse effects at all. They’ve been extremely comfortable to wear for the periods I’ve worn them. I even wore them for the entire day and evening of my bar-crawl bachelor party during which they picked up some minor battle scars. (character) These were the first factory 1sts I’ve bought, and somehow these boots have the most significant flaw of all my AEs. As you can see in the photo the eyelets on the left boot are pretty uneven. I would have sent them back, but it’s much less noticeable when the boot is on and properly laced up. If these were a more formal pair of boots or shoes I’d consider it more of a problem but as it stands it doesn’t really bother me. Sanibel Loafers, Walnut, USED, 12E, Sole: Leather & Rubber, Last: ?, Price: $73 These were an ebay find. So far I haven’t had the chance to wear them out, but I’m planning on wearing them a lot more this summer. Not much to say about them besides they fit snuggly in the tip of the toe and the heel, which I assume is typical for loafers since they don’t have a lacing system. McTavish Oxfords, Walnut, 2nds, 12E, Sole: Clear Rubber Lug, Last: 201, Price: $199 Next I was set on getting a less formal dress shoe than my Park Aves, and in accordance with the most common advice given on this sub I had my eyes on a pair of Walnut Strands. That only lasted as long as it took me to find a pair of factory 2nd McTavish’s on Shoe Bank. Lug sole dress shoes are kind of “in” at the moment, and while I’m not bold enough myself to pull off the more extreme styles, I really liked how the thin and clear lug sole of these shoes tapped into that trend a bit without being overly dramatic. Essentially, they have a slightly more trendy look than a normal pair of wingtip dress shoes while also having a bit more utility than a leather or dainite sole shoe. As far as fit goes, these shoes also had a more relaxed fit all-around, although less so than the Pattons. I was a bit concerned seeing as there was a noticeable amount of heel lift when walking around in them originally. The more they broke in, however, the more they must have conformed to my feet enough to alleviate this issue. The only flaw I’ve noticed with these are a couple of dark brown specks on the side of one of the shoes, almost like some darker colored dye splashed a bit at the factory. This, again, is a small flaw that I have no problem with since it’s something that the vast majority of people would never notice unless they had the shoe in their hands and were specifically looking for flaws. Overall these shoes have been super comfortable and fun to wear in smart-casual or business-casual situations. 100% would recommend a pair of these to anyone. Overall, I’ve been enjoying my AE experience so far. I think I’m going to take a break from buying new pairs for a while, but I’d eventually like to pick up a more winter oriented pair of boots with a taller shaft and lug soles for traction. These Chapman boots would be ideal to me if they were available in my size, but I might have to wait for a refresh on AE’s winter styles to eventually get something similar. https://www.allenedmonds.com/product/mens-chapman-weatherproof-wingtip-boot-3023638/light-brown-suede-ec4022646 |

Ukraine has branded Russia's presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of April "a symbolic blow," joining a chorus of outrage from Western countries.
Moscow assumes the presidency as part of its monthly rotation between the Security Council's 15 member states, with ties with the West at their lowest point since the Cold War over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia assuming the presidency was "a slap in the face to the international community".
"Unfortunately, Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and no feasible international legal pathway exists to change that reality," she added, calling the presidency "a largely ceremonial position".
"Isn't it telling that tomorrow, on the anniversary of the Bucha killings, Russia will assume the Presidency of the UN Security Council?".
Lithuania's Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis mockingly congratulated Russia on assuming the presidency.

2023.04.01 21:25 AquariusAmani Hello 👋🏽, I’m looking for help on building a website with a user credit system
Hola mi amigo
I’m looking to create a website that will implement a credit/coin system for users.
Users can then use these credits to do different things and take actions around the site.
I have experience in web design with Wordpress, Webflow, Wix, Weebly, and Shopify.
However, I’ve only done simple small business sites with information or e-commerce sites selling products. Never something like this.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how I would be able to build a website like this? What do you think would be the best website builder?
Thank you and stay lit 🔥

But… I have dreams still- and a purpose to strive toward- and one last chance.
I want to devote my life helping others directly and in many different ways- any ways! I want to do that while living a minimalist and van dwelling lifestyle.
Thats all I’m going to say about that for now though because that comes later- this is about my next big move.
A move that will break the cycle I’ve been in for far too long.
There is an old nunnery in Detroit, MI where a group of men live a very simple life. They serve, study, pray and meditate and thats about it. No technology, no money- no contact with outside world unless its to serve.
I will be spending a year with them in that place. Basically living the life of a monk.
I hope that if you are reading this- then maybe you would be interested in staying in contact with me for whatever reasons you want. For me- I just wanted to reach put and find others like me and maybe we could learn from and help each other.
Anyway, if you want to stay in touch let me know by emailing me at:
[email protected].
I’m Tadgh btw! Pronounced like Tige(r).
Please understand however- once I go in for the year- I will only be able to leave for a couple days once every month or 3! So it may be a while before I can respond to the emails but I will try my best!
One more thing
I do not have time l do much more before I leave so if you wouldn’t mind please share this with anyone or anywhere that seems interested/appropriate. Thank you!
2023.04.01 21:17 Guga_ My review of "PORTALS" as a recent new listener
I started to listen to Melanie Martinez only 1 month ago, since I bought tickets to see her show at late March with my bf (she's his favorite artist), and I wanted to have a firm idea of her music before it. Cake is my favorite song of her, abrasive and very well-written in terms of structure and singing.
Onto the review then:
As everything, PORTALS is good or bad relative to a criterion. When it comes to song structure, most songs follow a straight-forward verse-chorus-verse-chorus, which is disappointing given the prior work that made sure to have a clear bridge so that the last chorus had bigger impact on the listener.
When it comes to lyrics, I personally think this sub has a serious problem with interpretosis (the neurotic need to have each single lyric to be about some this or that meaning, that somehow it's all about her ex-boyfriend (not empowering at all)). But ignoring that, her current lyrics seem to lack conceptual cohesiveness when this album is supposed to be a concept album. If we attempt to ignore that this is intended to be a concept album, the lyrics are nothing to write home about, and aren't as hard-hitting as Crybaby.
Finally, when it comes to music, I like that Melanie Martinez tried more rock-oriented songs like BATTLE OF THE LARYNX or EVIL; it's daring to have a more diverse album that tries out different music styles (even a small rap segue!) However, even when I'm a rock and metal fan, my favorite songs in this album are not those, but are the stranger electronic-oriented ones: SPIDER WEB and THE CONTORTIONIST manage to be really unique in their lyric-music coherence, the latter having an excellent use of finger snaps along with the auto-tuned laughs at the end of each chorus. And personally, NYMPHOLOGY is pure excellence, the best song of the album: something of the nasal voice, the hard drum machine in the chorus, along with the bridge that makes the last chorus hit hard, makes it a real contender to be my next favorite song.
So, in short (TL;DR): PORTALS doesn't quite hit the mark as a concept album, nor is it the best album that Melanie Martinez has put out so far. However, she's moving forward in trying out styles, and is more into embracing the strangeness of her form of pop music, that she could explore more and get to good results. NYMPHOLOGY is the best song, hitting that spot just right.

I know talking about this is kinda beating a dead horse by now but I wanted to post here since it was a crazy uphilll battle, playing a Sera Control deck and I also saw a pattern, after rank 96 I started seeing a lot of bots and mirror matchups (very few Shuri and Thanos), if you guys have a way to destroy or change the hot location of today it's an easy climb against the bots (they always avoid Bar with no Name like the plague)
Another thing infinite players coming here saying they're donating cubes is pretty much a myth, I matched quite a few infinite players on the upper 90's and not a single one cared and proceeded to play the sweatiest decks (like Shuri and Thanos), so play to your best and forget the card backs.
About my deck I would say that the hardest matchup are mirror, discard decks and movement decks (incredibly enough), Carnage is a good subtitute for Killmonger for Nova proc on T6 when you wanna Valkyrie a lane (Valk forcing you to play at best another 2 drops), the biggest hurdle of this deck is drawing too porly early (turns 3 and 4 are very important to get some decent location presence before the Sera on 5) and doubling locations (like Sinister London) are pretty bad since this deck needs location space on T6 but not unwinnable.

Can somebody please tell me which campaign story mode is better? Im looking for something to replace Modern Warefare 2 (and other call of duty’s) Story Modes, but its been hard. Battlefield seems to be the only real one. Which one has more close combat? I dont like long rang/sniping/explosive warefare. I like medium to short range combat where I can use an Assault rifle as my main weapon, not a grenade launcher or sniper. I know Battlefield gameplay tends be very long range, but im willing to try it out because i need something new. Which Battlefield do you think will be the best fit for me? (P.S. I like Modern Combat, Assault Rifle Single Fire with Red Dot Sight) so I dont like any wwii games like BattleField Vs story mode or cod wwii or anything like that)

2023.04.01 21:11 Diabolus414 Marineford
The marineford war was a big war, and big wars in shonen tend to have lots of feats lol. So let’s quantify them.
Immediately kicking off the war is whitebeard creating two tsunamis. He created the tsunamis using seaquakes, or underwater earthquakes, so I’ll quantify them assuming they are real earthquakes.
1:Creating a tidal wave around marineford, of such size, it towers over the fortress
2:Creating a tsunami,occurring pretty much instantly, two tsunamis I should add.
The first aspect of the feat, the tidal waves are easily dozens of meters here. These tidal waves aren’t at their maximum height like real life tsunamis. Tsunamis have a stage in which they start off small, and start to increase in size over time. Whitebeard's initial wave towered over dozen meter objects, such as Marine Ships. Ships that are consistently to be gigantic (1) (2) (3) (4),yet pale in comparison to the rest of Marineford, which the wave dwarfs moments after rising.
This already blows the capabilities of real-life tsunamis out of the water that was recorded, an instance where Whitebeard’s Quakes were not at their maximum height. The second aspect of the feat leading to the full scale of Whitebeard’s tsunami’s where the aftermath of the Sea-Quake creating the first initial phase of the waves, came back as a full-fledged tsunami, in barely a few minutes.
Of course, there are various factors that play into the Tsunami generation in the first place. Shallow Depths, Earthquakes are assumed to occur at a “fixed depth” where the assumed depth is 10 kilometers, and Whitebeard performed these Earthquakes exactly at that depth, as we know that the water around Marineford’s neighboring Islands (Marineford, Sabaody, Impel Down) all take place in the same oceans, with Sabaody being very close to Marine HQ), is 10,000m deep. Comparing submarine-based earthquakes in the past which also occurred at Shallow Depths (20-30 km), the Tsunamis generated was not nearly as impressive as Whitebeard’s in sheer size despite having an Mw of 8.0-9.5. For example, the 2004 Earthquake released energy capable of decimating a portion of localized areas, hundreds of kilometers worth of intensity between fault lines, and a Tsunami that only reached heights of 30 meters near certain parts of the water, overtime meanwhile Whitebeard casually demonstrated his Devil Fruit power, dwarfs that in generating a tsunami of such size, in a much much smaller timeframe. Only through other means can Waves even get that high, like a meteor or landslide, hence why “Mega tsunamis” are considered above the capabilities of any ordinary tsunami: aka ones that occur through a fault.
By on-panel showings, Whitebeard beyond doubt outperforms any Submarine Earthquake, factoring that Earthquakes of Mag 9 or above can generate teratons level of energy through their total seismic energy. Might I add that this is once again, an Old Whitebeard, who certainly wouldn't output much power from his fruit as he slowly aged, and by showings, this is all consistent, where Old Whitebeard's best feats that require effort, like splitting the ocean, being performed by his Prime version by merely getting angry as a side-effect.
The power behind an earthquake directly can be compared to the size of of tsunami, so if we find the size of the tsunami, we can find the magnitude of the earthquake, and find the energy whitebeard released.
We know the marineford building is taller than 180m, since one of blackbeards commanders was able to hide behind the building, making it well over 180m, but as a lowball let’s assume it’s that tall. That gives us a height of 3157.6943932362m.
1.5667 * Log(3157.6943932362) + 7.0781= magnitude 10.8 earthquake.
The method I’ll be using to quantify the quake is a well-researched, well-documented study, that focuses on the energy, from meteors, or tremor-like events being felt away from its origin, the study can be found here in this thirty-page document. The method provided is scientifically backed up, with various examples, and said document even cites their own sources. This gives validity to the formula provided. So to finally finish this:
10^(1.5x10.8) x10^9.091 = 1.95433945e25 (continental+)
Now, this is one way to quantify the size of the tsunami, there is another. We can see clouds at the bottom of the tsunami, and based on their shape and being low clouds, they appear to be stratocolumbus clouds. They sit at an average height of 1250m.
1.5667 * Log(6425) + 7.0781 = magnitude 13.04389483 earthquake
10^(1.5x13.04389483)x10^9.091
= 4.53776754e28 (multi continental)
And there is one final way to scale the size of marineford. I’ll be using it and the 180m scale for the rest of the post, so I’ll call the 180m scale a lowball, and the bigger scale a high ball. So let me explain:
We know it would take a marine ship 4 and a half days to sail from Amazon lily to impel down.
It takes something moving at least 2.058 m/s (the general speed for old boats, like pirates ships) to reach that destination in what I’ll lowball to be 4 days, so that’d give us a distance of 319 kilometers. The island of marineford itself would be 62km in diameter, and the main building would be 24.2km in height.
1.5667 * Log(24960m) + 7.0781 = magnitude 14 earthquake
10^(1.5x14) x 10^9.091 = 1.23310483e30 (moon level)
Ice age, the sequel
After whitebeard created the tsunamis, after a short exchange aokiji froze the bay.
Low-end:
So size wise, the bay by comparing it to marineford is about 435.6m, and we know the depth of the freeze thanks to jouz, who ripped out a chunk, which we can see is about 111m deep. That gives us a volume of:
π × 218^2 × 111 = 16572416.468881m^3
Sea water would have an average density of 1050kg/m^3 which gives us a mass of 17401037292.325kg.
Surface temp can vary to different things such as solar activity clouds and pollution but the average we can use would sit right at 20 Degrees C
(17401037292.325) x (20) x (4184) = 1.456118800621800e15 (small city level)
High-end:
The bay is 32.5km with our earlier measurements.
That gives us a mass of 96687177215822kg.
(96687177215822) x (20) x (4184) = 8.09078298941999918e18 (large mountain level)
Mihawk does something
Soon after, Mihawk uprooted a large part of the tsunami.
The feat in question is weird to calc with the perspective, but there are those funny clouds we can use. Thanks to their shape, they appear to be StratoColumbus clouds, which sit at an average height of 1250m. So using this we can scale the tsunami.
Cloud: 1.00px = 1250m
Height of sliced wave: 1250x4.74=5925m
Diameter: 1250x11.71= 14637.5m
Radius: 7318.75m
Distance cut: 1250x0.98= 1225m
Total height: 1250x7.74= 9675m
We will use the Volume of a cone: 1/3×π×7318.75^2×5925= 332346261230.65m^3
And mass. We could use ice, but it’s lame ~~and I want to wank the feat.~~ Aokiji’s ice was so powerful it could clash with post long ring long land zoro, who arcs earlier could cut steel. So I’ll assume Aokiji’s ice has the density of steel (which is a big lowball). That gives us a mass of:
Mass: 2.6089181506606E+18
Speed stuff. I’ll assume it took the ice chunk 5 seconds to fly into the air for the low-end, 3 seconds for the mid-end, and 1 second for the high-end. That gives us a final result of:
Low-end: KE = 7.8300155996701E+22 J (country level)
Mid-end: KE = 2.1750007822157E+23 J (large country level)
High-end: KE = 1.9575038999175E+24 J (continent level)
Whitebeard makes even more tsunamis
I’m talking about these. There’s not much more to say, you get the jist. Let’s quantify them, shall we?

Immediately kicking off the war is whitebeard creating two tsunamis. He created the tsunamis using seaquakes, or underwater earthquakes, so I’ll quantify them assuming they are real earthquakes.
- There are very few if any Earthquakes that can replicate Whitebeard’s Quakes, most importantly the tsunamis. First, an “Earthquake” can happen in many ways, and will sometimes create a tsunami. Such as landslides on the seafloor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions, or meteorite impact in the ocean, however, I am arguing that these Quakes created by Whitebeard are done as a result of fault lines within the seafloor. Thus, comparing to Earthquakes that also do the same is liable to understand the potency behind Whitebeard’s Quakes.
- Magnitude 6.5 - 7.5: Earthquakes of this scale simply do not produce destructive, giant Tsunami, and even if they do, it’s rare.
- Magnitude 7.6 - 7.9: A destructive Tsunami might occur, specifically between 7.6 and 7.8 Magnitude, and at anything greater, a destructive Tsunami is possible near the epicenter, however even they don’t maintain their force over a vast distance.
- Magnitude 8.0-9.0: Destructive Tsunamis are possible near its epicenter, with damage to certain regions and a change in sea levels.

Ships that are consistently to be gigantic (1) (2) (3) (4),yet pale in comparison to the rest of Marineford, which the wave dwarfs moments after rising.
This already blows the capabilities of real-life tsunamis out of the water that was recorded, an instance where Whitebeard’s Quakes were not at their maximum height. The second aspect of the feat leading to the full scale of Whitebeard’s tsunami’s where the aftermath of the Sea-Quake creating the first initial phase of the waves, came back as a full-fledged tsunami, in barely a few minutes.
Of course, there are various factors that play into the Tsunami generation in the first place. Shallow Depths, Earthquakes are assumed to occur at a “fixed depth” where the assumed depth is 10 kilometers, and Whitebeard performed these Earthquakes exactly at that depth, as we know that the water around Marineford’s neighboring Islands (Marineford, Sabaody, Impel Down) all take place in the same oceans, with Sabaody being very close to Marine HQ), is 10,000m deep. Comparing submarine-based earthquakes in the past which also occurred at Shallow Depths (20-30 km), the Tsunamis generated was not nearly as impressive as Whitebeard’s in sheer size despite having an Mw of 8.0-9.5. For example, the 2004 Earthquake released energy capable of decimating a portion of localized areas, hundreds of kilometers worth of intensity between fault lines, and a Tsunami that only reached heights of 30 meters near certain parts of the water, overtime meanwhile Whitebeard casually demonstrated his Devil Fruit power, dwarfs that in generating a tsunami of such size, in a much much smaller timeframe. Only through other means can Waves even get that high, like a meteor or landslide, hence why “Mega tsunamis” are considered above the capabilities of any ordinary tsunami: aka ones that occur through a fault.
By on-panel showings, Whitebeard beyond doubt outperforms any Submarine Earthquake, factoring that Earthquakes of Mag 9 or above can generate teratons level of energy through their total seismic energy. Might I add that this is once again, an Old Whitebeard, who certainly wouldn't output much power from his fruit as he slowly aged, and by showings, this is all consistent, where Old Whitebeard's best feats that require effort, like splitting the ocean, being performed by his Prime version by merely getting angry as a side-effect.
The power behind an earthquake directly can be compared to the size of of tsunami, so if we find the size of the tsunami, we can find the magnitude of the earthquake, and find the energy whitebeard released.
We know the marineford building is taller than 180m, since one of blackbeards commanders was able to hide behind the building, making it well over 180m, but as a lowball let’s assume it’s that tall. That gives us a height of 3157.6943932362m.
1.5667 * Log(3157.6943932362) + 7.0781= magnitude 10.8 earthquake.
The method I’ll be using to quantify the quake is a well-researched, well-documented study, that focuses on the energy, from meteors, or tremor-like events being felt away from its origin, the study can be found here in this thirty-page document. The method provided is scientifically backed up, with various examples, and said document even cites their own sources. This gives validity to the formula provided. So to finally finish this:
10^(1.5x10.8) x10^9.091 = 1.95433945e25 (continental+)
Now, this is one way to quantify the size of the tsunami, there is another. We can see clouds at the bottom of the tsunami, and based on their shape and being low clouds, they appear to be stratocolumbus clouds. They sit at an average height of 1250m.
1.5667 * Log(6425) + 7.0781 = magnitude 13.04389483 earthquake
10^(1.5x13.04389483)x10^9.091
= 4.53776754e28 (multi continental)
And there is one final way to scale the size of marineford. I’ll be using it and the 180m scale for the rest of the post, so I’ll call the 180m scale a lowball, and the bigger scale a high ball. So let me explain:
We know it would take a marine ship 4 and a half days to sail from Amazon lily to impel down.
It takes something moving at least 2.058 m/s (the general speed for old boats, like pirates ships) to reach that destination in what I’ll lowball to be 4 days, so that’d give us a distance of 319 kilometers. The island of marineford itself would be 62km in diameter, and the main building would be 24.2km in height.
1.5667 * Log(24960m) + 7.0781 = magnitude 14 earthquake
10^(1.5x14) x 10^9.091 = 1.23310483e30 (moon level)
Ice age, the sequel
After whitebeard created the tsunamis, after a short exchange aokiji froze the bay.
Low-end:
So size wise, the bay by comparing it to marineford is about 435.6m, and we know the depth of the freeze thanks to jouz, who ripped out a chunk, which we can see is about 111m deep. That gives us a volume of:
π × 218^2 × 111 = 16572416.468881m^3
Sea water would have an average density of 1050kg/m^3 which gives us a mass of 17401037292.325kg.
Surface temp can vary to different things such as solar activity clouds and pollution but the average we can use would sit right at 20 Degrees C
(17401037292.325) x (20) x (4184) = 1.456118800621800e15 (small city level)
High-end:
The bay is 32.5km with our earlier measurements.
That gives us a mass of 96687177215822kg.
(96687177215822) x (20) x (4184) = 8.09078298941999918e18 (large mountain level)
Mihawk does something
Soon after, Mihawk uprooted a large part of the tsunami.
The feat in question is weird to calc with the perspective, but there are those funny clouds we can use. Thanks to their shape, they appear to be StratoColumbus clouds, which sit at an average height of 1250m. So using this we can scale the tsunami.
Cloud: 1.00px = 1250m
Height of sliced wave: 1250x4.74=5925m
Diameter: 1250x11.71= 14637.5m
Radius: 7318.75m
Distance cut: 1250x0.98= 1225m
Total height: 1250x7.74= 9675m
We will use the Volume of a cone: 1/3×π×7318.75^2×5925= 332346261230.65m^3
And mass. We could use ice, but it’s lame ~~and I want to wank the feat.~~ Aokiji’s ice was so powerful it could clash with post long ring long land zoro, who arcs earlier could cut steel. So I’ll assume Aokiji’s ice has the density of steel (which is a big lowball). That gives us a mass of:
Mass: 2.6089181506606E+18
Speed stuff. I’ll assume it took the ice chunk 5 seconds to fly into the air for the low-end, 3 seconds for the mid-end, and 1 second for the high-end. That gives us a final result of:
Low-end: KE = 7.8300155996701E+22 J (country level)
Mid-end: KE = 2.1750007822157E+23 J (large country level)
High-end: KE = 1.9575038999175E+24 J (continent level)
Whitebeard makes even more tsunamis
I’m talking about these. There’s not much more to say, you get the jist. Let’s quantify them, shall we?
