Unblocked games 24h

Context: I've been working in this place as a graphic designer for 5 years now, My arrangement is Tuesdays to Thursdays, 4 hours each day, with some flexibility possible from my end in case some exceptional, important work pops up (I'm not being paid extra, but more like doing hours in advance that i compensate later in hours within my schedule). Some weeks are busy and some are completely dead with no work, but my bosses before never had an issue with this since they are the ones in charge of generating the content for me to design. I can't quit my job rn due to complicated medical/ pshicological reasons i need to work from home; we don't have HR, and i sadly don't live in USA (because if i did, I've already sued my workplace).
Everything was fine until last year, when i got a new boss, who slowly but surely revealed how abusive and out-of-touch he is, He did not ask but demanded i work always out of my regular hours, soon all projects were "emergencies" out of my schedule, and i was always harassed by him via text to comply to do the work.
We even had several meetings to talk about it but because he lacks any decency he played the Jekyll and Hyde game, he acted correct and comprehensive in person but will blame me non stop via text saying i didn`t have "the good will to do my job", he was always disatisfied even if for some time (about a month or two) i tried to comply to every request, and put oot all the fires that he came up with (cause all those are made up solely by his incompetence, we actually had a system for emergencies a ton of premade work in canva in the current style of the brand, so anyone with a phone in the company could fill in the text and the pic and upload it to sm, but even if i explained this to him he doesn't want to use it).
I tried to ask him for payment if he wanted me to do all those hours out of my regular days, because i have other clients in freelance, and i explained that i use my personal time to do other jobs, and those clients pay me for that time, so i expected the same from this situation (literally, the price i offered for an hour was equal to a cup of coffee, he didn't accept, but that kept him quiet for a while). Last time i was just finishing a project in my normal hours, and then he sent me 2 urgent ones, i talked to him on the phone and said i could do those because i had the time atm and we agreed that later I'd compensate those hours within that week. Later, with everything solved, i calculated the hours i worked in advance and texted to him the amount (which he knew because it was the time i delivered each work to him, about 8 hours more), saying that if there were any other emergency in bewten me to compensate my hours, I'd be available to do the job and be willing to push those hours to compensate next week.
Within minutes, i got a text from my coworker that acts like his shadow saying something along the lines of, "The boss told me he is no longer ok with you compensating those hours within the future, and since we didn't ask you for any job last week, you should compensate the extra hours you worked today with that free time you got last week." I was speechless...
Since I've been played with, i decided, "Okay, then i'll block all people from that job so they can't botheask/harass me to do any free work out of my hours anymore (only blocked in wp, tho), and since i was clear with him last time, saying, "I'm not taking responsibility for the work out of my regular hours, since we did not reach any agreement,"
I was happy and at peace, but he got offended because, of course, he tried to contact me out of hours again, called me too (but i didn't reply i was busy, and who will think i have a life to take care of out of work?).
He then made up i had him blocked during working hours so he couldn't send me the work that has to be done and involved the coworker mentioned before, saying he cannot reach me (BS because i block and unblock all of them at the same time, even before my shift starts, and some weeks i don't block them cause is too bothersome, particulary there were all unblocked since past week). My coworker wanted to be awful too and blamed it on me even if i said, of course i don't have him blocked, of course i contacted him and he didn't answer; actually, he never does, almost all communication is done between me and that awful coworker, because he delivers the orders to her.
I literally can't believe i'm dealing with this nonsense, i always do my job, and nobody i've worked with had anything bad to say about me. Also, I didn't mention it, but he is covertly threatening me with being fired, saying if you are not available, i'll need to ask another designer, and if i do so i'll just have to replace you...
Now all the time he is not content, he tells me to have a meeting to talk about it when he comes to the city (he is not living here where the office's is). What bothers me is that this AH got so deep into my head i cannot stop thinking about it all the time, i'm doing theraphy, but i'm sick that all the money i make is going to theraphy for the disturbance this AH causes me, i really try to get out of it, but as I said before, i have mental issues just by existing, and this is really destroying the little peace i have.
I feel pathethic that this person is literally controlling what i do and dont with my phone out of work, which is just ridiculous, i don't know if i should keep blocking ppl at the end of my shifts, or just receive the harassment via text and not reply.
Sorry for the long awful post, Thank you for reading. i hope you are having have a nice day :)

So I met this (Swedish) guy at a student party last week. I noticed him in the crowd since he’s really good looking, but I know for sure I’d have never approached him cuz as silly as it sounds he seemed out of my league, lol. At one point, I felt somebody touch my leg, and low and behold it was the guy I noticed before in the crowd. He came up to me and complimented me on my outfit. Oblivious as I am I just said „thank you and turned away.“ That was when I realised, that homeboy was cuuuuute haha. I looked at my friend, she gave me the ‚I approve‘ - nod and I went to look out for him in the crowd but I couldn’t find him. As me, my friends (and other people) were dancing on a table and I see him and his (female) friend move up, like on the table and stand pretty much next to us.
I gathered all my strength and courage, walked up to him and stroke a conversation. I complimented him back to which he went like „ahhh, ur just saying this cuz I complimented u first“ I was like nooo, your pants, I love them! They look so nice!“ we talked a little, he said sth along the lines of „sometimes I ask myself whether I dress for myself or to please others..“ I told him it’s best to dress for yourself cuz u also wanna feel confident in/through what u wear and the compliments and approval of other people, it should just be a nice extra, you know“….yeah so we talked a little, he also integrated his friend into the conversation too…but it got so loud around us, that at one point, when he was talking to her I couldn’t understand a word, so I turned back around to my friend.
When I looked for him I saw that they were about to leave and go back into the crowd, so I tapped on his shoulder and asked if he wants to exchange instagrams. He went like „YOU want MY instagram?! So I can follow you?“ I was like, ahhhh more like so we can follow each other haha“. Then he gave me a fist bump and went away.
The next day, he DM'ed me, he sent a picture I posted with some friends on it and we started talking….the only thing I am unsure about is that he takes several days to answer. Like up to 2, so far!
But all my guy friends assured me that if a guy likes someone, he would reach out as soon as he can, and not wait for days, to not risk the person he’s talking to to turn to another guy…
But then, some people are shitty Texters to and I can’t expect to be of any priority in his life yet so I keep it chill…
I also don’t wanna play this stupid texting game if that’s what he’s doing. That’s why I kept replying the after 24h (the latest).
What do y’all think?

I've seen a lot of posts over the past few days about how LOTR is so disappointing and underpowered, and I think a lot of people are ignoring that a lot of the cards that feel slightly underpowered come with some type of "The ring temps you" text.
The temptation of the ring mechanic is going to be a major player in Modern, and you should be evaluating Ring buffs on how it makes Modern's best creatures even stronger.
Let's break down what the Ring temptations do for reference:

1. Your Ring-bearer is legendary and can't be blocked by creatures with greater power.
   
2. Whenever your Ring-bearer attacks, draw a card, then discard a card.
   
3. Whenever your Ring-bearer becomes blocked by a creature, that creature's controller sacrifices it at the end of combat.
   
4. Whenever your Ring-bearer deals combat damage to a player, each opponent loses 3 life.
   

Even at Step 1, we're able to make a non-legendary a legend (which factors into a lot in this set with a lot of "legends matters" abilities including the 5 land cycle, but also works well with things like Mox Amber or reducing costs for Boseiju and the other Kamigawa Channel lands) and then gives the creature Skulk. * So right away, even one temptation of the Ring means you can enable a crap load of legendary payoffs, and make something like a Ragavan nearly unblockable.
Then things get really spicy at Step 2, which lets you loot each time you attack with your Ring-bearer. THIS IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD. Looting is one of the most constantly undervalued yet insanely strong abilities in the game. Imagine your opponent's Ledger Shredder now being able to loot when it attacks as well as when its Connive ability triggers, or, to go back to the Ragavan model, we are now at a RAGAVAN WITH SKULK THAT LOOTS EVERY TIME IT ATTACKS.
Let's go deeper to Step 3. Now, if you are able to line up a block on your opponent's Ring-bearer (which still has Skulk from Step 1 btw), you're sacrificing your creature at end of combat. This seems less impressive until Step 4, when your Ring-bearer gains "when it deals combat damage to an opponent, each opponent loses 3 life."
And because the Ring temptation stays at 4, it means from then on you can Voltron the hell out of any creature you have out with each subsequent Ring trigger. This means your opponent, if they have a good flow of Ring triggers and creatures, can basically constantly attack with evasive beaters that loot on combat are difficult to block because of Skulk, that either hit for 3 extra life or force you to sacrifice your blockers.
From level 2 (giving Loot on attack) onwards, the Ring abilities are just insanely strong when stapled to Modern's best creatures. You're essentially adding "this creature is legendary, has skulk, loots on attack, makes your opponent sacrifice any blockers, and hits for 3 more damage" to your best creatures just by playing a good Ring-temptation based engine in your deck. And we've already seen a metric ton of strong cards that have the Ring temptation basically tacked on.
Imagine Ragavan with that typeline. Imagine Fury hitting for twelve because it's a Ring-Bearer. Think of even the implications of having an additional Legendary creature that's difficult to block even if you're only able to activate the Ring temptation once.
To explore this in practice, let's take a look at a reasonably low powered card that serves as a major Ring temptation engine - [[Call of the Ring]]. This thing triggers Ring temptations every turn, and whenever you pick a new Ring bearer, you can pay 2 life and draw a card. It's probably too slow for Modern power level, but that does mean that if you play it in any creature deck, you're basically drawing an extra card for 2 and (in the mid-long game) constantly imparting all 4 of the Ring buffs to one creature or another. Even if you're just making 1/1 tokens Ring Bearers at that point, each one carries with them the long line of buffs that Stage 4+ Ring Temptations offer, and very quickly it seems to take shape why a passive ability like this that significantly buffs creatures with little downside is going to be pretty impactful in Modern.
Don't think of this set as a metric shift in the format - instead, think more what this wide variety of awesome roleplayers and a very powerful new mechanic can do to build upon established decks. Because there's a lot less "automatic staples" in this set and a lot more intriguing build around or high synergy pieces. And many, many of these pieces will see play in competitive Magic.

What do y’all think?

And once again, the search for a friend has begun. Perhaps the glowy light at the tunnel is finally reached? Erm anyway, on to the usual then. Let me go ahead and try my best to explain the following. Put on your super doopler hats on and lets begin, and also, I hope you have an awesome awesome weekend! Off you go!
TLDR:

• Answer 28 questions
• Get matched with others based on answers + your interests
• Mostly everyone is from reddit

---
So how does it work?
Step 1. Find compatible matches
Basically it matches people up based on answers to 28 simple questions. For each question, you choose your answer and also answers you accept (answers from other people). With this, we can determine your compatible matches.
Step 2. Friend requests
Once you have the matches list, you can then send out friend requests to these users, (or receive requests from them), and once either of you have mutually accepted/sent a request, you get connected with that person and contact details are revealed.
Why this is awesome:

• Reach! Over 6000 people have joined, which means most people get 20-40 compatible matches - people active in the past two weeks. If you're very picky (or a general outliner) you could expect a bit less
• It's very easy to find people with common interests, as they get shown first on the list.

What are the questions:

• more about you- age (you have to be 16 or older!)
• best part of your day
• gender
• sexuality
• interests (there is a HUGE comprehensive list to pick from - all the way from lockpicking, to biotechnology, to minecraft)
• geographical continent
• how often you'd like to communicate with a friend
• type of friendship
• whether you'd be willing to share pictures
• whether you'd be willing to have voice calls
• religious
• working
• studying
• video games / books / drinking / smoking / drugs
• whether you want to hide/not match with 'low effort profiles' (this could be a life saver for some of yall)

Sounds sketchy, or you have concerns?
A few people have concerns about the above. So I can highlight a few things.

• You can be completely anonymous if you choose (and probably should be anyway) - just use throwaway contact info.
• There is a very simple and short privacy policy as well.
• And lastly you can read through everyone's feedback in my previous reddit posts from a while back (past 2+ years) here: https://www.reddit.com/usefinder_of_the_humans/posts/

Okay woohoo lets do this!
The link is: https://findafriend.club/howitworks
Final tips:
I'd encourage you not be shy to send requests to people (that is the point!) - quite a few people sign up and don't send out any requests. People do have the option to hide their profile (for example if they get too many people talking to them), so it's safe to assume that if you see their profile - they're probably still looking for a friend.
Extra info:

• - You can be completely anonymous if you prefer, you would need a 'disposable/throwaway' method of contact.
• - Most people get around 20-40 active matches. If you get less, make sure you have filled out the form correctly! If you include people who haven't been active in 2 weeks it's - 200+
• - You can send 25 outgoing requests per 24h period.
• - Email notifications about requests/friends get sent out every 30 minutes, though not everyone added an email so they might not be notified in that way.
• - You can see your matches instantly! But you still have to wait for the user to accept your friend request.
• - This project is completely non profit and there is no advertising. We're looking for help if you want to help, and also there is a patreon if you want to support it in that way.
• We have two complimentary discord servers for the project as well

First off, I want to congratulate every single Aslan here about our well deserved league title.
As the final game against Fener is approaching, as we all know, a ticket/season ticket transfer ban has been decided by the authorities. Thanks to my damn luck I could arrange 2 VIP tickets of a friend of mine FOR FREE but the management and the federation absolutely cucked me out of the stadium thanks to this decision since I can’t receive any transfers.
There are rumours that the ban will be lifted in the final 24h before the game. Any info or suggestions would be of great appreciation. Thanks to you all in advance.

I know I know, I shouldn’t care. But the context in which is happened is so weird, and I wanted to get some opinions on what you think could be the reason?
I had a conversation with my ex yesterday, we broke up about 2 months ago and I called him. He had dumped me 2 months ago.
We had a really really good conversation, but nothing about getting back. He still claimed that he had no feelings. However, the conversation was amazing for what it was. I hoped to be friends one day, I just wanted to talk to him.
He told me my friends told him that I was posting sad quotes on my insta story, these were supposed to be just for my friends, I had thought I restricted them from seeing those. Apparently they saw everything, I was so embarrassed and told him I never meant for them to see it. He did not have me added at the time.
I added him while on the phone with him, and he accepted it.
Now I noticed that his friends removed me, and one of his friends who originally blocked me just unblocked me. I’m sure he told them of the conversation we had. Why keep me added until the moment that I add my ex back? My ex claims he didn’t even notice that I removed him, but I feel like that’s a lie, since his friends were telling him everything. 2 of them added me just days before the breakup.
My friend says they’re playing mind games. I’m confused.

Hi,
In december 2022 I bought a new gaming PC:
ASUS TUF Gaming Z790 plus Wifi
Intel I9 - 13900k 3ghz
Nvidia RTX 4080
32 GB RAM DDR5
Pure Loop Watercooling
Windows 11
​
Since purchase I have run into issues and have returned the system to the vendor twice. After 6 months, I really don't want to go there again so I'm hoping the PCbuild community can help me out.
The problem:
Since day 1 videogames have randomly crashed on this computer. There is no clear pattern on when or how it happens, it just occures randomly. I'm playing a videogame and suddenly the application closes. This has happened with Total war : Warhammer 3, Total War: Rome 2, Counter Strike GO, Rimworld, Golf with Friends, GGpoker, .. it can happen with any game I run on the system.
Next to videogames I Only use Google Chrome at the moment, so I can't compare it with other software.
It can be twice in 5 minutes, or doesn't happen for 4 hours. I can't find the pattern on when it happens. The application also just closes, without a total system crash.
The vendor where I bought this PC is totally clueless on why this happens, because he's not able to recreate the problem in his shop. Apparently the computer scores fine on all benchmarks, stresstests, ..
I myself am getting really desperate, because it's been 6 months of which the PC was in the shop for 2 weeks and 6 weeks, had the Z790 prime motherboard replaced to a TUF gaming Z790 but now after 24h of testing the applications closed three times already.
What can I do?
Edit:
Windows itself does not crash, the application (videogame) just closes without an error message. When playing a videogame + listening to youtube simultaneously, it will only be the videogame that crashes.

Moved my region to NZ and now the game unlocks in 6 hours:
Before (Italy)
After (NZ)
UPDATE: It is now past 1am Japan time (steam release was 1am instead of 12) and I am now able to start the game, hopefully Steam doesn't body me.
UPDATE 2: I could only access partial Battle Hub and Steam was showing 20gb to go (blocked). I tried switching the VPN to Japan and it immediately unblocked, I can now play Fighting Grounds.
Character Select
Switched Steam to offline mode and turned off the VPN, still able to launch the game so will probably chill in offline mode until official release.
UPDATE 3: Funky Jamie combo
Proceed at your own risk!

Why did his friends unfollow me?
I had a conversation with my ex yesterday, we broke up about 2 months ago and I called him. He had dumped me.
We had a really really good conversation, but nothing about getting back. He still claimed that he had no feelings. However, the conversation was amazing for what it was. I hoped to be friends one day.
He told me my friends told him that I was posting sad quotes on my insta story, these were supposed to be just for my friends, I had thought I restricted them from seeing those. Apparently they saw everything, I was so embarrassed and told him I never meant for them to see it. He did not have me added at the time.
I added him while on the phone with him, and he accepted it.
Now I noticed that his friends removed me, and one of his friends who originally blocked me just unblocked me. I’m sure he told them of the conversation we had. I always felt they were immature, why keep me added until the moment that I add my ex back? My ex claims he didn’t even notice that I removed him, but I feel like that’s a lie, since his friends were telling him everything.
My friend says they’re playing mind games. I’m confused.

So I have iHeart Radio's app on my phone with my account logged into it and location services turned on for where I am. I like to listen to the Cincinnati Reds on 700WLW. So I just open iHeart Radio and play 700WLW and I listen to the game. But when I tell my Google Home Speakers/Hub to play 700WLW, I get a looping message that says I'm outside the restricted area to hear this play by play broadcast. and that if I think this an error I need to go to iHeartradio's website for help. which I do, and it just says to make sure I say where I'm located, and I do.
the problem is, it doesn't seem like Google Home will let me connect my iHeart Radio account. it just plays it as a free account, so it can't see where I'm telling iHeart Radio where I am so it can unblock the games.
Google Home can see where I am, I have the locations services turned on for it. what else am I doing wrong?

So, I returned to the game after 2.5 years (you know where this is going) and holy shit is this depressing. My hundreds of hours of experience all gone to nothing. There are a bazillion new heroes and almost every existing ones has had reworks, I absolutely dont know wtf is going on. Prepare for my little rant and call for help.
First off, WHY CAN CONQ FUCKING FEINT thats wild to me lil bro only had 1 unblockable that was a shitty charge attack now he can spam seemingly infinite unblockables? Why does everybody have dodge attacks now? Like, just why? Whats the point of assasins if everybody have dodge attacks anyway. Why does everybody have bashes? And dont get me started on Shinobi, the dude was the worst hero and he's a fucking menace now, holy shit I've never got shit on this bad in my life. He had to light attack in order to chain to sickle rain and it was only like top attack iirc, now he can just chain onto sickle rain from seemingly anywhere, and can decide whether its gonna be undodgeable or unblockable. And his supposed escape tool the backflip is now a magnificent 50/50 tool now. And he can kick after singular dodges, even can just kick your face as a neutral bash. Just wow. And his ranged attacks are gone too, the thing that made him unique. How tf am I supposed to beat Shinobi in the hands of a good player if I cant even touch the dude? He's just doing stuff absolutely nonstop, going left and right, back and forth. Seemingly every hero is now just too darn quick. People literally never stop, not once. Always on the move. Always putting pressure.
The stamina is a utter mess. Why the heck does the stamina of the OOS opponent GET BACK TO FULL when you hit them on the ground? Whats the point of getting OOS then? Back then, if you got OOS, you were done for. It should be like that. Now, the stamina I use just to do measly one single punish puts me in a disadvantage 2 seconds after anyway because the guy gets full stam.
Almost all the stuns are gone, except for lawbro and shaolin ig. Stuns are no fun, but still, they added uniqueness to many heroes and attacks. Raider, for example. I can understand for the top light soft feint thingy but why remove the stun from his wall splat knee kick?
A lot of uniqueness seems to be gone, and thats the depressing part. I think lights are standardized at 500ms now? Also the same stamina pool for every hero, no? And the health pools seems to be similar too. Assasins feel tankier, big boys feel squishier. Also why on earth does everybody deal so ridiculously low damage? Warden top heavy used to deal 40 damage, now 27? Lawbro top counter attack used to deal a whopping 50, now a measly 30.
I mean obviously I need to get back on my feet because they've literally changed the very fundamentals of the game but the part where Im sad is that the uniqueness for different heroes feel kinda gone. Everybody has unblockables, dodge attacks and bashes. Im fighting an orochi and suddenly he hits me with the fucking neutral bash. Im fighting a BP and he hits me with the dodge attack. The fact that the game still matches me with people equal to my former skill level doesnt help either.
So, what is the point of this post? I REALLY wonder the reasonings behind the changes I mentioned and I really wanna know whether or not these changes are healthy to the game and liked by the community or, if they are just the usual stunts Ubi pulls off thats disliked by everybody and doesnt add to the game? Is the game better than before now? Is it worth for me to push myself in to this godforsaken game and invest my time to practically relearn the game from the ground up all while playing against players that are higher than my skill level, because its a better game than it used to be?

How am I suppressed to respond to you telling me you aren't talking to or seeing anyone. First, you've lied about it before. Second, I don't want to play that game with you. You and deanna did that. I wanted something different with you. You either want me or you don't. You push me away, and saying that makes me feel like you're wanting to pull me in. I'm already so lost. My heart hasn't stopped breaking. My head is a constant turmoil and my heart a constant battle. Be blunt with your meaning. I'm so tired of between lines and trying to translate. I'm not dating. I don't have the capacity. Not that I think you deserve to know how crushed I am. If there's hope it takes way more than your word games. Show me something different. Show up. Grab me and kiss me. Text me show me I'm unblocked. Friend request me. I'm a broken shattered tattered mess. I cut myself picking up my pieces.
