Weather for el mirage az

I have been looking into jobs in various locations, including RUS but thinking it may be down to these 3 or possibly 4 locations. I am stuck in my thoughts, so I figured I come to ask my fellow Redditors what they think is a good location.
This is for a family with kids, so schools/colleges are important. Same federal grade across all of these locations. The weather in Houston is going to be bad, but the locality is good. Hunstville is the middle ground for locality and living expenses, but not sure about schools and other amenities. Another possibility was Birmingham, AL

Hey there reddit!
Some days can be hard and stressful, and it's always to nice to have someone to chat with to unwind! Hopefully, we can do that together! I'm interested in chatting with someone about whatever comes to mind! Was it a hard day? Bored? Discuss interests? Intimate late night conversations? Questions about whatever! I'm open to talking a learning about each other.
Would love for it to be longer term if you think we click, but also love the passer by chat too!
A little about me:
Feel free to check my other posts as well!
I try to be quick to respond to messages and prefer more natural conversations as opposed to large paragraph formats. Matching my partners energy to establish a good rapport is important to me!
Hobbies/ interests include:
Cooking; Love to cook and try new recipes. Still trying to nail a good custom curry blend currently haha.
Games: Board, card, and video. Though available time has severely limited my ability to play games, they are still an interest I pursue with friends.
Gardening: Grew up in a rural area so this one just stuck from chores honestly haha.
Random tidbits: Animal lover, cooler weather, coffee, nights in over nights out, lame jokes, and bit of a flirt!
For those who like to know a little about the physical appearance of who you are taking too, I am a 6ft1 white male. Dark brown haieyes with a beard. Stocky frame. Large arms/hands and legs/feet. Think teddy bear build :)
So if you're interested in a chat partner, let me know. I'm Central time zone if that helps. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Everyone, First I just want to say really sorry if this breaches any of the terms and conditions of the subreddit regarding advertising but I wanted to spread the word about our new electrolysis hair removal service that caters specifically to the gender diverse community.
Our business is owned and operated by transgender women and aims to provide the highest quality of treatment and aftercare services in an industry that is heavily profit driven and often predatory. We wanted to create a service that treats permanent hair removal as an important medical procedure and valid gender affirming care that should be held to the same standard as any other medical procedure.
To this effect, Live More: Ethical Beauty has rooms in medical centres in 3 Locations, NoR, SoR and Centrally. Across these locations we take bookings 7 days a week, 8am til 6pm.
What we Offer;
Comprehensive patient education on the procedures and open communication to reduce undertreatment. Our service is customizable to your preference, we aim to work with you to ensure you are satisfied. We carry specialised equipment and are able to treat all hair types and skin tones as we offer all three treatment techniques, Galvanic Diathermy/Thermoflash and Blend. We believe it is important you understand what treatment you are receiving and why, as well as having your say.
Treatment of all areas including GAS. We are happy to treat all areas including those seeking hair removal from the genital region in anticipation of Gender Affirming Surgery / Sexual Reassignment Surgery. Please be aware this service can only be offered to those over the age of 18. We also offer brow and beard sculpting and treatment for areas often missed in laser therapy, such as toes!
Discounts for Gender Affirming Care. We are of course happy to treat all patients but offer specific discounts for those seeking gender affirming care. Transition is hard enough without being taken advantage of by greedy franchises.
Discounts and special deals for low-income. For those on a Healthcare card, we offer a number of payment options in the form of payment plans or treat now - pay later, at heavily discounted rates. We believe issues with self image can often be a barrier to confidence and financial success and we would like to do our part to help with that. We want you treated and happy, so please email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to discuss your specific needs.
Online Bookings and Cancellations. Making an appointment with us is done easily through our website booking system. This is intended to provide a convenient service that minimises human interaction as we see this as a potential barrier to patients seeking care. Bookings can be cancelled anytime from the online platform also and are fully refundable. There are no fees and no hard feelings for cancelling a session even minutes before it is due to start, as we understand life happens and sometimes appointments can’t be made. Just remember to cancel the booking before it starts to qualify for the refund!
Package Deals. We offer Discounted package deals in sets of 3, 5 and 10 and increasing discounts. We understand that hair grows in cycles and therefore so do your needs. As such these packages do not expire and can be redeemed at any time indefinitely. We also do not want you to feel locked in. If you feel you no longer feel you require treatment, or are unsatisfied with the service, or an emergency comes up and you need the money back fast. You can be refunded at any time for the full value of the remaining sessions, No questions asked!
We don’t upsell. Being owned and operated by transwomen, we have had countless unpleasant experiences with salons and laser clinics attempting to upsell essential creams and oils and $100 ‘must have special sunscreens’ that have not been shown empirically to be any better than standard products. Or pressured into treating more areas, or into signing up for non-refundable package deals that keep you locked in to a service you're no longer happy with. Or intentionally undertreated to prolong the number of sessions. We do not want this! The bookings made through our booking portal and the price quoted is the price you will pay, no surprises! We want you feeling safe and comfortable.
3 Locations,
Our SoR rooms can be found at Ellen Health Medical Centre in Fremantle. This is a well known Hub for transgender medicine. The rooms are quiet, private and wheelchair accessible. The facility offers 2 hours free parking.
Our NoR service is temporarily displaced to East Perth Medical Centre due to recent weather damage to the practice. This is a busy, fully staffed multipurpose comprehensive health centre. It offers 1 hour free parking. The new location will be updated in the coming weeks.
We also offer private booking for treatment sessions in Como. This is intended as a fully discrete service from a private residence as we appreciate some patients are uncomfortable or anxious seeking treatment in public places. This location offers one to one treatment with the electrologist and has no limit to parking. Bookings cannot be found on the online portal but can be quickly arranged by contacting us through email.
Free additional services include
Video Streaming entertainment in the chair - Electrolysis is a long, often uncomfortable and sometimes boring process. Our treatment beds are fitted to provide access to common streaming services such to provide entertainment during the procedure. After all they do say distraction is the best analgesia!
After-care service - Although always provide detailed advice regarding caring for the treated areas, we appreciate many may worry about the progress of their wound healing. It is not uncommon for people to be concerned with what is otherwise a normal healing progress - or worse fail to recognise an infection that needs treatment. For this reason we offer a service that reviews your treated area, either in clinic or submitting a picture via email so that it may be reviewed by our medically trained staff.
Transition photos - We appreciate some patients enjoy documenting their progress through transition. It is after all a very exciting time. But few of us have the good habits and discipline to keep a regular record. For this reason we offer a photo taking service. As Electrolysis requires regular treatments over an extended period of time, it is a great way to keep track of not only the efficacy of your treatments, but your transition as well!
A service by transfolk, for transfolk - We want you feeling safe and comfortable and among friends, we are on a journey similar to yourself and appreciate transition for the practical and emotionally complex journey that it is. Our staff are comfortable talking about all things transgender. If you want to seek new information or resources in the community, or vent your frustrations or even practice your vocal training in a little sing along, please don’t be afraid to ask! We are all in this together and we need to look after each other <3.
Thankyou for your time, if you have any questions or concerns please either shoot us a DM here or send an Email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
We look forward to seeing you in clinic!
Warmest regards in this terrible terrible weather!

Disclaimer:
I apologize if this is… shocking? Out of the blue? And you have every right to be annoyed/angry/vexed/dismissive/disregarding/etc. as I am the one who essentially ghosted you.
That being said, I couldn’t stop thinking about… well, you.
And this (I’m gesturing to the document) is what I decided to do about it.
Ah yes, Google Docs: so high performance, so wow. As you can see, I have the technical knowledge/skills of a small child. Embarrassing, especially when sending to a comp sci person.
But in all seriousness, for the last 30 days I thought about you, what I was able to glean /extrapolate from your personality, and the concepts of vulnerability, feeling, and sexuality. I then recorded how all of this affected me on a daily basis when I actually gave it the chance.
You don’t have to read this; it’s just some random girl’s thoughts. The reasons I’m sharing are (1) in an ideal world, I believe everyone deserves closure and (2) there are no downsides to sharing: I’m able to get out my feelings and you’re able to see how your influence has had an impact.
If anything, maybe this will be an ego trip for you.
Or a warning to stay away from crazy girls
--------------------------------------------------------
(Other intense ramblings while still talking with each other)
God, I’m shaking… This was an excruciating reflection on my own psyche but I learned something so I guess I have to thank you? But yeah… in a sexual sense, vulnerability is not my strong suit. I’m sensitive about the lack of sexual experience I have, and I’m terrified to disappoint or fail because of it. I’m embarrassed to ask for help or learn because I’m accustomed to being competent and self-sufficient. I’d rather mask my discomfort by labeling the subject as “impractical” or “not my priority”.
12/28/2021: Get it out!
Okay so yeah super super turned on by everything this guy says and writes. It’s so exciting it’s actually terrible. His words are SO HOT! Like telling me his favorite smell is my hair? What a move… but holy fuck that’s so intimate and sexy it’s making me insane!
This is… actually embarrassing. Girl, you’re so out of practice. What the fuck…
The situation as a whole is impractical. He’s also a cheater so like… already I’m playing with fire.
Also, when did my M.O. change? My endgame with men is to make them fall in love and then become the perfect storm. I’ve done it so many times. Don’t fuck it up just because this guy could potentially pose as a mental threat. Yeah it is hot that he tries to figure me out. And he’s somewhat succeeded the first few times. And he has questions about my desire to cheat which is insane.
This guy may feel love and companionship, but to the point where he probably gets bored and then finds someone else to hook up with. Can you imagine throwing away your partner for what? A fling? An unreliable sexy demon writer who you’ve never actually met in real life?
Love is an action; love is patient and kind and takes SO much fucking work. What you and B have, that is love. The will to make it work, the commitment, the forgiveness, the goal beyond the flirting stages and the frivolous emotions. We are literally weathering the storm of life together. Why risk all of that for some anonymous writer who may be hooking up with other people and more likely than not does not give an actual fuck about you? And even if he did or did not, he’d probably make some manipulative excuse to try and make you feel special. You’ve read his stories, babe. That cheating breeding story he wrote? Hot as HELL! But that manipulative language? Fuck, he’s good at it. It’s practiced. Don’t trust the intent. He’s just horny.
Lastly, I am nobody’s sub. I am an independent woman. I don’t need anyone. Fuck this.

DRAG RACE!
Rachelle Mirage struts the runway wearing a pantsuit in orange and red.
“Hello world!”
“Welcome to Drag Race.”
Rachelle smiles.
“Ms Michaels, how you doing?”
“I’m fabulous baby.” Floss grins. “How YOU doing?”
“Amazing. Let’s kick out Chronologica!” Rachelle cackles.
Floss winks.
“Tanvi Lioness, are you ready to see these comedians shine?”
“It’s time for them to exit the house.” Tanvi smirks.
“For our Challenge, our racers were tasked with competing in the BIG MOTHER improv challenge!”
“And on the runway, they’ll be wearing Red Velvet looks.”
“It’s TIME!”
~
“Category is… Red Velvet!”
Crayola Boxx struts out in a red ball gown, uttering the shape of a cake. She’s got a big, swirly skirt, and she spins around and around, with little bits of ‘frosting’ spurting out of the stage. She’s got a big red updo and a smile on her face.
“Not the spurting.” Floss looks around awkwardly.
“It reminds me of what you used to-” Rachelle stops after looking at Floss’ rageful face.
Aguacate struts out in a full ball gown, with multiple layers of luscious red velvet cake. She twirls down the runway, revealing a big slice has been taken right out of her backside, exposing the real cake, which is completely bare. Aguacate takes a lick of her delicious frosting, and licks her fingers clean!
“Oh… Aguacate did it so much better than Crayola.” Tanvi whispers to Rachelle.
Wearing a surprisingly high-fashion number, Jaslene Bangus walks down the runway. Her hair is dark and slicked back into a high pony. The outfit itself, however, is a two-piece suit made entirely out of red velvet. The collar and front of the suit jacket is made to resemble the red curtains of a theater. As she walks, her face showcases class and poise.
“Thank God it’s not another cake look.” Rachelle says.
Zazu Nova arrives in a Lightning Mcqueen inspired form-fitting red velvet catsuit, hugging the her curves, with black accents in the form of lightning bolts paying homage to Lightning McQueen's design, and red velvet jacket with racing patches adding an edgy and rebellious vibe to the look as she struts with a smile.
“Vroom Vroom.” Floss smiles.
Granny Gorgeous enters the stage in a red velvet cape, a huge one that covers her entire body and makes her frame not so visible. With a long red wig, Granny is serving caftan velvet realness with a smirk.
“Oh, she’s giving Granny.” Tanvi smirks.
Fiore Stravaganza shines in a sleek velvet dress that hugs her body tight. She’s got a massive red headdress, made of the same red velvet material, replacing a wig like Fiore would normally rock. Her face is expressively painted, and Fiore looks like a star.
“Gorgeous.” Rachelle smiles.
Yasmin Raiz oozes sex appeal, strutting the runway in a deep red velvet bodycon dress that hangs low off her shoulders, with a little cream flower pin on her bosom. She wears sheer cream nylon gloves with a small ruffled bow at the wrist, a perfectly coiffed cream-blonde wig, small deep red glasses with flower-shaped frames, and carries a cream fur coat, as if she doesn’t even need the reveal.
“Delicious.” Floss winks.
King Omari Star stuns as he enters the stage in a red velvet kilt, with an asymmetrical shirt that has a matching long, flowy cape along with it. He’s got a massive pair of red platform boots, and as he walks, he gives every inch of royalty with a smirk.
“He loves a cape.” Rachelle chuckles.
~
“Hi Racers.” Rachelle purses her lips. “Nobody is safe.”
“First up… Yasmin.”
Yasmin smiles.
“You really have a soulful vibe, and I enjoy it.” Tanvi nods. “You hit the marks comedically, you enjoyed yourself and I was really quite pleased to see it.”
“Thank you!” Yasmin grins.
“It was a real fun time, and I do think you really were one of the highlights to see. Solid work, girl.” Rachelle smiles, “You have been consistent these past couple of weeks, and you only leave me wanting a little bit more, and I must say that I do think this look is a good switch for you. Keep up the good work.”
Yasmin bows.
“Fiore.”
Fiore smiles.
“You look gorgeous.” Racehelle grins. “Like, wow.”
Fiore flicks back her invisible hair and smirks.
“In this challenge, I did wish I got to see MORE from you in the challenge, though. It feels as if something is keeping you from fully going out like you did in, let’s say, the Snatch Game..”
Fiore nods.
“Just need- more engagement. I feel as if you’re hardening up, going back into that inner shell, when I want you to let us see even more of you. Pretty will only get you so far, Fiore.”
“I can assure you, this is me.” Fiore looks at Rachelle.
“Well…” Rachelle nods.
“Moving on, Jaslene.”
Jaslene looks at the judges.
“YAS! Girl, this look is great.” Floss smiles. “I damn love it.”
“Thank you.” Jaslene nods.
“I feel you have been middle of the road for a few weeks. But this week, I saw the effort baby. But it is not quite enough. I’m going to need you to keep driving- because at this point, I feel as if you’re lagging behind.”
“Noted.” Jaslene says.
“Zazu.”
“Hii…” Zazu says awkwardly.
“I think we know.” Rachelle says.
“Yes.” Zazu responds.
“This wasn’t quite the best performance. Well, you stumbled. I wanted to see you do well, but unfortunately- it wasn’t quite enough, and I’m going to need you to fight for this.”
“I do want to do this.” Zazu purses her lips. “For me, I feel challenged here. But I will always take every single critique and fight for the crown.”
“That is what I need.” Rachelle looks at Zazu. “Keep it going.”
Zazu nods in agreement.
“Omari.”
Omari adjusts his cape.
“You have a royal presence to you.” Tanvi says.
“King Omari Star.” Omari smirks. “Is my full name.”
“I can see it.” Tanvi responds. “I think you had a good balance of funny and real. I enjoyed you this week.”
Omari smiles.
“I wanted you to push yourself out of your comfort zone this week, and you did. And for that I have to commend you” Rachelle responds. “Well done.”
“Thank you.” Omari grins.
Granny.
“Hello.” Granny says.
“I am loving this look.” Rachelle looks at Granny. “It’s giving- a bit generic, but also- I do feel like you’re reinforcing that idea said a few weeks ago- I am seeing a lack of brand.”
“Okay…” Granny smiles, ever the pleaser.
“I want you to get dirty this week, but you did not.” Rachelle says. “And I'm going to need you to further think on what your drag is- what you bring. Because again- at this point, that’s really important.”
“I understand.” Granny smiles.
“Aguacate.”
“¡Hola!” Aguacate winks.
“You’re pure chaos!”
“AHHHHH!” Aguacate screams.
Tanvi giggles.
“That is what I liked.” Tanvi says. “Well and truly, you stole the show.”
“Thank you.” Aguacate smirks.
“I feel like unlike others, you do know who you are. My advice? Keep doing you.”
“I will.” Aguacate adds. “I can tell you that.”
“Finally, Crayola.”
“Hello dear.” Crayola smiles.
“You weren’t funny, baby.” Floss frowns.
“Oh.” Crayola looks surprised.
“As in- you know, I was expecting haha. But I got- oh, nah.” Floss laughs. “Like, damn, there was nothing fun- and I wanted to see you make me laugh!”
Crayola nods.
“For me, it came off- just like you were trying too hard, it wasn’t the smooth sailing we were looking for. And it just wasn't a very clever delivery, or very funny either. It was a shame.” Rachelle adds. “…And this gown doesn’t do you any favors- it looks frumpy.”
“I apologize.” Crayola responds.
“Racers, before we deliberate… I have a question to ask.”
Everyone looks at each other.
“Who should go home tonight and why? Starting with… Crayola.”
“I think this week I disappointed.” Crayola frowns. “And I do really enjoy this, but I am not delivering, and I will be truthful with that. I wasn’t the best, and I’m sorry.” Crayola says.
The others look surprised.
“Okay.”
“Zazu.” Aguacate says. “Ms Boxx at least has two wins. This is what, her… 4th time in the bottom 3?” Aguacate laughs.
Zazu frowns.
“I do agree, Zazu.” Granny sighs. “Sadly, at this point, she is not delivering as consistently as the others.”
“For me, Crayola.” Omari says. “I see a fighter in Zazu. I do not see that in Crayola, as… clearly, neither does she.”
Aguacate giggles.
“I think, Crayola.” Zazu nods. “I’m sorry, but I will not say myself- I can never...”
Rachelle nods.
“For me, Crayola.” Jaslene responds. “At this point, she is not showcasing herself at her best.”
“Now, Zazu is clearly at the bottom.” Fiore purses her lips. “But if I’m being honest, at this point, Jaslene isn’t delivering anything new either, I don’t think.” Fiore nods. “Like you have said she has been, for a lack of a better term… flat-lining these past several episodes.”
Jaslene looks surprised, as well as Rachelle.
Jaslene Bangus: “What the fuck?”
“Let her fight for the bottom.” Fiore shrugs.
Jaslene rolls her eyes.
“I do agree with Zazu.” Yasmin nods. “Unfortunately.”
“Thank you, racers. Whilst we deliberate, you may untuck backstage in the Crystal Lounge, sponsored by Princess Papaya Tropical Drinks.”
~
The racers enter the platinum lounge.
Jaslene stomps in, grabbing a drink before turning to face Fiore.
“What the fuck?” Jaslene says.
Fiore raises an eyebrow. "What's the matter, Jaslene? Did I say something wrong?"
Jaslene clenches her fists, clearly pissed. "You think it's okay to throw me under the bus like that? Saying I should fight for the bottom? What the hell girl? I thought you were my sister?”
Fiore smirks, taking a sip of her drink. “Please, Jaslene. I was just stating m ytruth, what I have been seeing these past few weeks- If you can't handle a little critique, maybe you're not cut out for this competition. I feel as if you haven’t been delivering, and to me, you’re dead weight, right now."
Fiore Stravaganza: “Real talk, I said her name because simply put, at this point, I feel the AE girls have been holding me back. I need my brand focused on me.”
Jaslene's trembles. "You have no right to judge me, Fiore. You act like you're better than all of us, but you're just a mean-spirited queen hiding behind a pretty face."
“Darling, you came up with the name PRETTY GIRLS, I’m not just pretty, I’m gorgeous.” Fiore growls. “I was just being honest.”
“Honest?!” Jaselene rolls her eyes. “You’re acting nasty.”
Fiore's eyes narrow, her composure slipping for a moment. "Watch your words, Jaslene. I may be straightforward, but at least I'm not deluding myself like some queens here. I speak the truth, and if you can't handle it, that's your problem. Now go fix your hair."
Jaslene looks as if she is ready to scream, as Omari raises his hand in between them. “Let’s not.”
“I just..” Jaslene rolls her eyes. “Whatever.” Jaslene walks off.
“Beef.” Aguacate giggles.
“...Can I ask, what is going on Fiore?” Omari asks. “Like, there’s this switch..”
“There’s no switch.” Fiore responds quickly, looking at Omari. “I’ve always been competitive here, and clearly you haven’t been paying attention.”
Omari rolls his eyes. “Alright.”
“How is everyone else?” Granny asks.
“I am disappointed to be in the bottom again, but girl- I love to perform.” Zazu puts in an earphone. “So, I'm going to give my all.”
Zazu Nova: “A stage is where I shine. That- I am not scared of.” Zazu grins.
“For me, it’s-” Crayola sighs.
Crayola pauses, and looks down. "I don't know, guys. I'm just... I'm really struggling right now. I feel like I'm not good enough, like I don't belong here. And seeing myself disappoint week after week, it's really taking a toll on me."
“You won last week, girl.” Fiore adds.
Yasmin puts a hand on Crayola’s shoulder. "Hey, hey, none of that talk, okay? You are talented, Crayola, and you absolutely belong here. We all have our off weeks, but that doesn't define who we are as queens. You have so much more to offer, and I believe in you."
“I just wish you didn’t say your own name.” Omari says.
King Omari Star: “I would never say my own name. I will always fight. And Crayola… it is a strange response.”
Crayola looks up at Yasmin, tearing up. "Thank you, Yasmin. I'm just scared of going home, you know? I don't want to let myself down or let anyone else down."
Yasmin pulls Crayola into a warm hug. "I understand that fear, but remember, this is just a moment in our journey. It doesn't define our worth or our future. We've come so far, and we're all here to support each other. You are loved and valued, Crayola."
Granny smiles. “We're a family here, and we lift each other up. Don't let negative thoughts bring you down. Embrace your uniqueness and shine."
Granny Gorgeous: “I feel the same, though. This is… scary.”
Aguacate chimes in with a grin. "Exactly, mija! We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but together, we make this competition fierce. Keep your head high and remember why you're here."
“Vroom vroom.” Zazu winks.
Jaslene looks in the mirror, combing her hair before sitting next to Omari.
Jaslene Bangus: “Well, I guess that’s over.”
Fiore and Jaslene look at each other for a second.
Jaslene Bangus: “Full steam ahead.”
~
“Welcome back, racers. We’ve made some decisions.”
…
“Fiore, Jaslene, you’re safe.”
The two look at each other before walking separate sides of the stage.
“Omari. Yasmin. Great work. You’re safe.”
The two grin.
“Aguacate, this week you made us CACKLE. Condragulations, you are the winner of this week’s challenge.”
Aguacate jumps for joy. “WOOHOO”
Aguacate: “Another one.” Aguacate winks. “I I think I’m a frontrunner.”
…
…
“Granny, you’re safe.”
Granny bows.
“That means Zazu Nova and Crayola Boxx, I’m sorry my dears, but you are up for elimination.”
“The time has come… for you to lip sync to your life!”
**Conga by Gloria Estefan starts to play**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ItEmCnP80
“Good luck… and don’t fuck it up!”
Zazu Nova: “I know this is my fourth time, but lip syncing is what I do. I’m never going down without a FIGHT!”
Crayola Boxx: “I’m giving my heart. That’s all I can do.”
~
Next Time!
Racers, it’s time to makeover your loved ones!
“My WIFE!” Omari yells, tearing up.
“Woah.” Aguacate stares awkwardly.
“I’m going to shit on these bitches.” Jaslene smirks.
“Oh, another bodysuit?” Fiore looks at Jaslene.
Fiore Stravaganza: “This is MY moment.”

“In this challenge, I did wish I got to see MORE from you in the challenge, though. It feels as if something is keeping you from fully going out like you did in, let’s say, the Snatch Game..”
Fiore nods.
“Just need- more engagement. I feel as if you’re hardening up, going back into that inner shell, when I want you to let us see even more of you. Pretty will only get you so far, Fiore.”
“I can assure you, this is me.” Fiore looks at Rachelle.
“Well…” Rachelle nods.
“Moving on, Jaslene.”
Jaslene looks at the judges.
“YAS! Girl, this look is great.” Floss smiles. “I damn love it.”
“Thank you.” Jaslene nods.
“I feel you have been middle of the road for a few weeks. But this week, I saw the effort baby. But it is not quite enough. I’m going to need you to keep driving- because at this point, I feel as if you’re lagging behind.”
“Noted.” Jaslene says.
“Zazu.”
“Hii…” Zazu says awkwardly.
“I think we know.” Rachelle says.
“Yes.” Zazu responds.
“This wasn’t quite the best performance. Well, you stumbled. I wanted to see you do well, but unfortunately- it wasn’t quite enough, and I’m going to need you to fight for this.”
“I do want to do this.” Zazu purses her lips. “For me, I feel challenged here. But I will always take every single critique and fight for the crown.”
“That is what I need.” Rachelle looks at Zazu. “Keep it going.”
Zazu nods in agreement.
“Omari.”
Omari adjusts his cape.
“You have a royal presence to you.” Tanvi says.
“King Omari Star.” Omari smirks. “Is my full name.”
“I can see it.” Tanvi responds. “I think you had a good balance of funny and real. I enjoyed you this week.”
Omari smiles.
“I wanted you to push yourself out of your comfort zone this week, and you did. And for that I have to commend you” Rachelle responds. “Well done.”
“Thank you.” Omari grins.
Granny.
“Hello.” Granny says.
“I am loving this look.” Rachelle looks at Granny. “It’s giving- a bit generic, but also- I do feel like you’re reinforcing that idea said a few weeks ago- I am seeing a lack of brand.”
“Okay…” Granny smiles, ever the pleaser.
“I want you to get dirty this week, but you did not.” Rachelle says. “And I'm going to need you to further think on what your drag is- what you bring. Because again- at this point, that’s really important.”
“I understand.” Granny smiles.
“Aguacate.”
“¡Hola!” Aguacate winks.
“You’re pure chaos!”
“AHHHHH!” Aguacate screams.
Tanvi giggles.
“That is what I liked.” Tanvi says. “Well and truly, you stole the show.”
“Thank you.” Aguacate smirks.
“I feel like unlike others, you do know who you are. My advice? Keep doing you.”
“I will.” Aguacate adds. “I can tell you that.”
“Finally, Crayola.”
“Hello dear.” Crayola smiles.
“You weren’t funny, baby.” Floss frowns.
“Oh.” Crayola looks surprised.
“As in- you know, I was expecting haha. But I got- oh, nah.” Floss laughs. “Like, damn, there was nothing fun- and I wanted to see you make me laugh!”
Crayola nods.
“For me, it came off- just like you were trying too hard, it wasn’t the smooth sailing we were looking for. And it just wasn't a very clever delivery, or very funny either. It was a shame.” Rachelle adds. “…And this gown doesn’t do you any favors- it looks frumpy.”
“I apologize.” Crayola responds.
“Racers, before we deliberate… I have a question to ask.”
Everyone looks at each other.
“Who should go home tonight and why? Starting with… Crayola.”
“I think this week I disappointed.” Crayola frowns. “And I do really enjoy this, but I am not delivering, and I will be truthful with that. I wasn’t the best, and I’m sorry.” Crayola says.
The others look surprised.
“Okay.”
“Zazu.” Aguacate says. “Ms Boxx at least has two wins. This is what, her… 4th time in the bottom 3?” Aguacate laughs.
Zazu frowns.
“I do agree, Zazu.” Granny sighs. “Sadly, at this point, she is not delivering as consistently as the others.”
“For me, Crayola.” Omari says. “I see a fighter in Zazu. I do not see that in Crayola, as… clearly, neither does she.”
Aguacate giggles.
“I think, Crayola.” Zazu nods. “I’m sorry, but I will not say myself- I can never...”
Rachelle nods.
“For me, Crayola.” Jaslene responds. “At this point, she is not showcasing herself at her best.”
“Now, Zazu is clearly at the bottom.” Fiore purses her lips. “But if I’m being honest, at this point, Jaslene isn’t delivering anything new either, I don’t think.” Fiore nods. “Like you have said she has been, for a lack of a better term… flat-lining these past several episodes.”
Jaslene looks surprised, as well as Rachelle.
Jaslene Bangus: “What the fuck?”
“Let her fight for the bottom.” Fiore shrugs.
Jaslene rolls her eyes.
“I do agree with Zazu.” Yasmin nods. “Unfortunately.”
“Thank you, racers. Whilst we deliberate, you may untuck backstage in the Crystal Lounge, sponsored by Princess Papaya Tropical Drinks.”
~
The racers enter the platinum lounge.
Jaslene stomps in, grabbing a drink before turning to face Fiore.
“What the fuck?” Jaslene says.
Fiore raises an eyebrow. "What's the matter, Jaslene? Did I say something wrong?"
Jaslene clenches her fists, clearly pissed. "You think it's okay to throw me under the bus like that? Saying I should fight for the bottom? What the hell girl? I thought you were my sister?”
Fiore smirks, taking a sip of her drink. “Please, Jaslene. I was just stating m ytruth, what I have been seeing these past few weeks- If you can't handle a little critique, maybe you're not cut out for this competition. I feel as if you haven’t been delivering, and to me, you’re dead weight, right now."
Fiore Stravaganza: “Real talk, I said her name because simply put, at this point, I feel the AE girls have been holding me back. I need my brand focused on me.”
Jaslene's trembles. "You have no right to judge me, Fiore. You act like you're better than all of us, but you're just a mean-spirited queen hiding behind a pretty face."
“Darling, you came up with the name PRETTY GIRLS, I’m not just pretty, I’m gorgeous.” Fiore growls. “I was just being honest.”
“Honest?!” Jaselene rolls her eyes. “You’re acting nasty.”
Fiore's eyes narrow, her composure slipping for a moment. "Watch your words, Jaslene. I may be straightforward, but at least I'm not deluding myself like some queens here. I speak the truth, and if you can't handle it, that's your problem. Now go fix your hair."
Jaslene looks as if she is ready to scream, as Omari raises his hand in between them. “Let’s not.”
“I just..” Jaslene rolls her eyes. “Whatever.” Jaslene walks off.
“Beef.” Aguacate giggles.
“...Can I ask, what is going on Fiore?” Omari asks. “Like, there’s this switch..”
“There’s no switch.” Fiore responds quickly, looking at Omari. “I’ve always been competitive here, and clearly you haven’t been paying attention.”
Omari rolls his eyes. “Alright.”
“How is everyone else?” Granny asks.
“I am disappointed to be in the bottom again, but girl- I love to perform.” Zazu puts in an earphone. “So, I'm going to give my all.”
Zazu Nova: “A stage is where I shine. That- I am not scared of.” Zazu grins.
“For me, it’s-” Crayola sighs.
Crayola pauses, and looks down. "I don't know, guys. I'm just... I'm really struggling right now. I feel like I'm not good enough, like I don't belong here. And seeing myself disappoint week after week, it's really taking a toll on me."
“You won last week, girl.” Fiore adds.
Yasmin puts a hand on Crayola’s shoulder. "Hey, hey, none of that talk, okay? You are talented, Crayola, and you absolutely belong here. We all have our off weeks, but that doesn't define who we are as queens. You have so much more to offer, and I believe in you."
“I just wish you didn’t say your own name.” Omari says.
King Omari Star: “I would never say my own name. I will always fight. And Crayola… it is a strange response.”
Crayola looks up at Yasmin, tearing up. "Thank you, Yasmin. I'm just scared of going home, you know? I don't want to let myself down or let anyone else down."
Yasmin pulls Crayola into a warm hug. "I understand that fear, but remember, this is just a moment in our journey. It doesn't define our worth or our future. We've come so far, and we're all here to support each other. You are loved and valued, Crayola."
Granny smiles. “We're a family here, and we lift each other up. Don't let negative thoughts bring you down. Embrace your uniqueness and shine."
Granny Gorgeous: “I feel the same, though. This is… scary.”
Aguacate chimes in with a grin. "Exactly, mija! We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but together, we make this competition fierce. Keep your head high and remember why you're here."
“Vroom vroom.” Zazu winks.
Jaslene looks in the mirror, combing her hair before sitting next to Omari.
Jaslene Bangus: “Well, I guess that’s over.”
Fiore and Jaslene look at each other for a second.
Jaslene Bangus: “Full steam ahead.”
~
“Welcome back, racers. We’ve made some decisions.”
…
“Fiore, Jaslene, you’re safe.”
The two look at each other before walking separate sides of the stage.
“Omari. Yasmin. Great work. You’re safe.”
The two grin.
“Aguacate, this week you made us CACKLE. Condragulations, you are the winner of this week’s challenge.”
Aguacate jumps for joy. “WOOHOO”
Aguacate: “Another one.” Aguacate winks. “I I think I’m a frontrunner.”
…
…
“Granny, you’re safe.”
Granny bows.
“That means Zazu Nova and Crayola Boxx, I’m sorry my dears, but you are up for elimination.”
“The time has come… for you to lip sync to your life!”
**Conga by Gloria Estefan starts to play**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ItEmCnP80
“Good luck… and don’t fuck it up!”
Zazu Nova: “I know this is my fourth time, but lip syncing is what I do. I’m never going down without a FIGHT!”
Crayola Boxx: “I’m giving my heart. That’s all I can do.”
~
Next Time!
Racers, it’s time to makeover your loved ones!
“My WIFE!” Omari yells, tearing up.
“Woah.” Aguacate stares awkwardly.
“I’m going to shit on these bitches.” Jaslene smirks.
“Oh, another bodysuit?” Fiore looks at Jaslene.
Fiore Stravaganza: “This is MY moment.”

You were emotionally abusive my whole life. But I didn’t know any better. I never knew anything different. My girlfriends were much like you, but I didn’t know any better. I thought the shame fear and guilt control was par for the course. I wasn’t aware that not any and every need outside my own should always take priority. I was groomed to please everyone and avoid all means of inconveniencing anyone, no matter the circumstance. I never knew what it was like to think for myself. Maybe I still don’t. But I miss the idea of you as a dad. I miss having one. I miss the idea of having a grandpa for my four children. I try to forget the actual grandpa they have that can barely stand their audience for more than 30 minutes before being annoyed, frustrated, and disinterested. I would like to forget the multiple times I’ve been told ‘I’ll like them more when they can listen and follow directions.’ I wish I didn’t have to constantly hear about friends and strangers having present grandparents for their children, flying or driving hundreds of miles to spend only a few days, or maybe even an afternoon, just to see their grandkids. I wish the 45 minutes wasn’t too far for you to drive, but happy for you that ‘new burger place’ is great over an hour away.
I miss the idea of Dad. I wish my kids and I weren’t boxes to check off so you can return to your own time. Hope the weather is good for your tee times this month.
Perhaps my sisters and their kids keep priority and there’s nothing left. Or it’s just the hoops are still worth jumping through to them.
I wish my kids had a grandpa. And it’s a shame the one they have actively avoids it by choice and doesn’t seem to care. I thought there was going to be more than Amazon a gift twice a year and ‘Can we FaceTime for about 5 minutes once a month?’
I’m sorry I expected a sliver of extra than what you think is enough.

Hi all! I’m on the hunt for some new partners (not replacing anyone of course) that are interested in angsty, romantic and, of course, dramatic plots. In said plots I’d prefer to play the F in M/F pairings, it’s just what I’m most comfortable with : ). Aside from that though, I am 24 which means all of my partners NEED to be 18+, there is no wiggle room on this. Please don't lie and say you're of age if you're not, it's dangerous. Also, another lil request if possible: I just moved to the central time zone and would love some partners over here or who are at least awake during these hours, not a requirement tho!
We can discuss rules, limits and triggers privately if we decide to move forward, however there is one rule I’ll let you know of now since it puts some people off. I don’t double. I will gladly play multiple side characters, however I will not do one pairing in exchange for another (you playing my love interest and us doing a separate plot where I play yours). I find it hard to focus and they never end up fair in my experience. I hope that makes sense lol.
Right now I’m specifically on the hunt for three fandoms/pairings: Criminal Minds, Stranger Things & Teen Wolf.
In CM I’d be looking for someone to play Spencer Reid opposite of my character, Olivia Chandler. Olivia is a Gale Weathers type if you know Scream at all, but FAR less of a bitch. I think there’s a lot of longevity for this pair as Olivia is afraid of commitment whereas I see Spencer just hesitant when it comes to romance at all, especially if we set this after Maeve. There’s a lot to her backstory that I think could make for an interesting twist a little further along, but we could do different cases and such and it would be fun! As all of my characters do, Olivia has her own backstory written up and available upon request.
While I haven’t watched S4 of ST yet (atp I’m just waiting for S5 to rewatch all of it lol), I know most of what happens, but this plot would take place more of s2-s3 and maybe in an AU space s4. I’d be playing an original character, Nancy and Mike’s troubled cousin from New York, and would want to pair her alongside Billy Hargrove. I think they’re ‘fuck this small town’ attitudes would work well along with other things.
As for Teen Wolf, I’d love for someone to play Derek Hale against my canon-divergent version of Paige Krasikeva. For those who don’t remember, Paige was teenage Derek’s girlfriend who was scratched by an alpha and Derek had to kill himself. In my version, Derek thinks he killed her but Peter brought her back to life and sent her off with her parents who moved. Now she’s back in season 3A as an adult music teacher at the high school with no memories of Derek or werewolves.

1. All columns are Away / Home. Records are typically current as-of the time of posting, and do not always contain the matchup results from the day of posting.
2. A bolded matchup means that there is a "Probability of Precipitation" greater than 50% in a non-domed stadium at the time of this post.
3. An italicized matchup means that it is Game 2 of a doubleheader, which for Pick'Em purposes will not be applicable (only Game 1 is counted, but Game 2 is still included above so that you can be aware that pitching management may be different than a non-doubleheader game day).
4. Probable pitchers and stats sourced from mlb.com (via the MLB-StatsAPI); weather data soured from the OpenWeather One Call API.
5. Estimated chance of winning percentages sourced from FiveThirtyEight’s 2023 MLB Game Predictions, an ELO-based, easy to understand ratings system.

Details such as probable pitchers, winning odds, and match certainty are subject to change. Note that a pick for a team in a cancelled game (weather or otherwise) is automatically counted as a correct guess.

Now before I continue, I want to say that I don’t hate women. I absolutely am not entitled to sex. I don’t have a problem with women dating tall men. I’m not saying I’m such an amazing nice guy that deserves a gf. I have my own flaws just like everyone else. Despite this, I guarantee you there’s still gonna be pathetic white knights in the comments saying ‘iNcEl, ‘mYsOgInIsT’, ‘nIcE gUy’.
All this post is, is me venting about what’s been bottling up in my mind for years, as I don’t talk about this in real life, I don’t go to therapy because I can’t afford it.
Anyway, I digress. I live in a very tall country, where the average height for guys my age (20) is 5’11, maybe 6’0. I am 5’8, so definitely below average. However, I have seen a few 5’8 guys that get with women. The difference between them and me is that they are good looking, I am not.
My height in and of itself is not the problem, it’s the combination of me being below average height and ugly that is the problem. And yes, I go to the gym, I am a low body fat%, meaning that my face is lean and I am giving it every opportunity possible to show its best features. Despite this, I am still below average looking.
Now I already know what you are thinking and are typing away in the comments. ‘Dude it’s your personality’. Is it? Why then have I been told that I am funny and cool to be with by women only to get friendzoned by each and every single one of them? I would love for it to be the case that my personality is the problem, but I’ve developed my personality/social skills as best I could. And this is still happening.
I also guarantee you someone is going to say ‘Well with that attitude of course you’re not going to get women’. To that I answer, do you really think I act like how I’m acting in this post in real life? Of course not, I smile, I crack jokes, I am friendly, I am conversational, I have an active social life, friends, etc. I go to the gym, I play tennis. I go to university social events, societies, clubs, I meet new people literally all the time. All this to say that I am not the socially stunted hermit that you assume I am.
Let me tell you something else, I’ve been on omegle a few times in my tipsy state, and I end up chatting to a few girls my age and the conversation goes so well. They laugh at my jokes, we have great banter. Then we add each other on snapchat or whatever, and they ask to see a picture of me. I send a picture of my face, and they immediately block me. Every single girl. I am not making this up. If this isn’t confirmation that it’s factors outside of my own control (ie face) that is hindering me, I don’t know what is.
‘Woe is me.’ Yeah, woe is me. How about you try to be 5’8 and ugly as a man in a tall country and let me know how it goes? I don’t have a problem with women as I said earlier, I have a problem with gaslighters telling people like me that it’s your personality, when in every other Avenue of life aside from dating, my personality is giving me success.
I have developed myself in every possible way that is inside of my own control. And yet it seems like factors that are outside of my control are holding me back. Rant over.

They laugh at my jokes, we have great banter. Then we add each other on snapchat or whatever, and they ask to see a picture of me. I send a picture of my face, and they immediately block me. Every single girl. I am not making this up. If this isn’t confirmation that it’s factors outside of my own control (ie face) that is hindering me, I don’t know what is.
‘Woe is me.’ Yeah, woe is me. How about you try to be 5’8 and ugly as a man in a tall country and let me know how it goes? I don’t have a problem with women as I said earlier, I have a problem with gaslighters telling people like me that it’s your personality, when in every other Avenue of life aside from dating, my personality is giving me success.
I have developed myself in every possible way that is inside of my own control. And yet it seems like factors that are outside of my control are holding me back. Rant over.

Mine, for example, is that I actively go out of my way to avoid consistency regarding texture styles. If everything looks put together, it kinda weirds me out and gives me a very "this is a game" feeling. I try to go for realism, and for me there's nothing more realistic than things looking different everywhere, not maching, styles all over the place. No furniture is the same, clutter is as random as it gets. That's why I have like a bajillion texture packs overwriting each other: Noble, Skyland, CleverCharff, Skyrim 202X, Atlantean, aMidianBorn, etc etc. Not to mention another 395345 mods then overwriting specific things (Rustic, ElSopa, JS, Cathedral, etc). And don't get me started on how much I love the dynamic Base Object Swapper variants, I have as many as I can get my hands on. In total, I have 300+ texture mods. The world looks rich and unexpected.
So, what about you guys?

I'm going to replace my Pentax K-3 with an OMD, I think. I still have my crippled K-30 that I can only use with my old MF lenses and I'm cool with just having that. The K-3 is a wonderful camera but it's so very heavy for me. Lately I find myself struggling to lift it. I was thinking that maybe an OMD to go with my E-P5 might be a more practical solution than a proper DSLR at this point?
Are there advantages to using an OMD vs an EP-5 if you have the EVF v4 or it about the same really? I'm very new to that system. All I really know is some models apparently have an EVF built in and that they use the MFT also? Some have some weather resistance, I think? I could not afford the most recent Olympus models, so I'm thinking something a few years back. Just wondering if I need an OMD or if the EP-5 is more than enough for digital shooting?
Up till I got the Pen EV4 I think I was happier with a traditional VF but this one is so much better that I find it a lot more comfortable to use. I'm just wondering about the EVF in the OMD series vs Pen EVF4. I keep going back and forth trying to decide if getting an OMD of some kind is even worth it. I do love the lightness of the MFT kit and my MFT lenses vs the digital DSLR kit and I think I'm just using the MFT kit way more for that reason though I do love my K-3...
Advice, suggestions?
I think I'm kind of mentally caught between MFT and DSLR but the major arthritis thing may be be tipping me whether I like it or not. The thing is my eyes are also affected and I wonder if I can just shoot MFT more comfortably with an OMD vs a Pen E-P5 and just play with manual lenses and the K-30 when I miss shooting with a DSLR?

I don't have a "passion" or anything like that. I'm good at school and have a reasonable safety net, though one that's not quite thick enough to weather my parent getting even more sick, so I can't rely on it. I just want to make money and live my life doing whatever on the side. Currently, I'm a computer science major with a statistics minor but I have the opportunity to double-major and wondering if there's some sort of back-up plan people would recommend; my parent is pushing me toward finance but somehow I wish there was any other option.
I'm just worried that maybe compsci won't work out or something and I'll need something else. I was looking at getting a teaching certification but I'm in the US and that crap differs state by state and would require a triple major besides, which I don't think I can do. Is the solution here to just go for a compsci-field PhD and have academia as a "backup"? Does that even make any sense? I think I would enjoy teaching, I just have little interest in research so it's not my first choice.
I'm even at the point where I'm wondering if maybe I should just go pre-med since that's pretty much guaranteed to be a stable income for the rest of my life and I know I'll be able to do it (financially/mentally) despite the fact I'm not really interested in medicine.
Sorry, I just don't really have anyone else to ask, especially since my worries are so vague and kinda stupid and based on vibes. Wanted advice but don't really know exactly what to ask. Thank you.

Currently they seem to only be 1 shot kills up to 200m. I think that should be increased to 300m (maybe even 400m), for a few reasons:

1. It gives more reason to use bolt actions over the semi-automatic rifles (you trade off fire rate for the ability to kill at longer distances);
   
2. The movement speed changes make it too difficult to land follow-up shots with unscoped bolt-actions at larger distances (noting that bullets travel too slowly right now, the kar98k has a muzzle velocity of like 750m/s) and its too easy for targets to dash/dive to cover and bandage (undoing the effect of your first shot, which they can do twice) or zig-zag to cover and bandage;
   
3. The scoped variants of the rifles are 1 shot kills to the torso at those longer ranges and seem to use the same rounds;
   
4. It will make unscoped bolt-actions more competitive with not only the other rifles, but also the machine guns. Currently, on maps like El Alamein it is easier to get kills at a distance with a machine gun than a bolt-action, as the machine gun has the advantage of the increased fire rate and magazine capacity, as well as tracers to allow easy adjustment on the fly (noting there is no sight zeroing for bolt-actions). The solution is not to nerf machine guns at distances (they are fine as they are), but to buff bolt-actions.
   

The cycling and reload speed of the bolt-actions should also be increased slightly (and the lee enfield cycling more than other bolt actions by a fraction) as currently the animations are of a speed which doesn't seem to account for battle adrenaline.

Hello guys, we are a Jain family of 4 living in Parel. We got a Siberian Husky (adapted to Indian weather) who was 50 days old when we got him from the breeder. He’s 70 days old now and we’ve realised that in the long run, we wouldn’t be able to take care of him. We don’t mind keeping a full day maid to take care of him but all the maids we have approached didn’t want to take the responsibility. We’ve made a huge mistake. My mom is home for most part of the day while rest of us are out for most part of the day. We are looking for homes that’d shower love to our husky, that’s it. We don’t want to return it to the breeder because we don’t want our dog to suffer. We’re looking for the best for him. Please DM if you are looking forward to take care of our dog.
Specifications: 1. Champion breed- his parents have taken part in competitions. 2. Eyes colour: Blue + brown 3. Age: 2 months 10 days
