Who does deku date

hi- I think I've finally figured out what I wanted to do- Vagina-Preserving Metoidioplasty- specifically release, monsplasty and libia removal. I know of one surgeon who I could possibly go to, however it's unlikely(not only cause they're out of my state and only accept insurance- but because they talked about medical necessity- and idk if it counts as a necessity for me, as I have no Dysphoria(but rather tons and tons of gender euphoria about the idea and such) so I'm not sure if they'd even preform on me :<)
So does anyone know of any surgeons who may be more likely to accept me and preform the surgery? I'm willing to travel- but it is verry much preferred that it's closer rather than further. (message me if you know someone, are willing to share, but not here publicly in the comments)

Throwaway because my girlfriend follows me
Sally (19f) and I (19m) have been together since we were 15/16 and our relationship has been great, we are each other's best friend and we do everything together. When we first started dating we both went to same sex schools, me going to and all guys school and Sally going to an all girl's school. When we finished however we both ended up going to the same college, with me starting a year before her. That year was all good and all because we would hang out together all the time and with our own friends but the next year when I left is when it all changed.
I guess because I wasn't at the same school as Sally anymore she wanted to get new friends, which I'm all down for but her new best friend was a guy (Adam). It was alright at first with them sharing a class together and hanging out and lunch. But later on it progressively got more "intimate" with Sally giving Adam lifts home and driving him to school more and more, as well as texting which seemed to be every day. She would also be late to events we had planned together because she was still in the car with Adam outside his house after a few hours. Sally eventually did start to stop being friends with him because I caught a glance at her phone once and saw very sexual texts between them. Now it wasn't anything really bad just a message or two as a joke but I informed her that it made me very uncomfortable and it's not what you'd do with another guy while being in a relationship.
Around the same time Sally stopped hanging out with him she got a new guy best friend (Josh), this time from her work. Eventually the same thing started happening, she'd drive him to and from work, texting 24/7 and being late to events we had planned because she was still in the car with him at his house after a few hours. Now Josh is gay so I wasn't scared of her cheating on me much like I was with Adam. Eventually Josh had to move overseas and asked Sally to stay at his house to help him pack up and take him to the airport in the morning. She asked if it was alright and I said yes because I knew he was gay and nothing would happen, although I did tell he it still made me uncomfortable.
Almost as soon as Josh left she got her latest guy friend (Matt) who is also from her work and she started doing all those same things again. This time it was worse with Sally inviting Matt to hang out outside of work and vise versa. It got the point where she would see him more then she did me. Now I am pretty sure she isn't cheating and they are just friends but it's making me super uncomfortable. At some point Sally asked if it was alright if Matt and her went overseas for a few days to meet up with Josh. I told her I wasn't comfortable with that especially since I hadn't gone on any form of trip with Sally even though I've asked her lots of she would, but as soon as Matt asked to go somewhere she said yes. She did end up buying the tickets and they are currently on there 2nd day there.
A few extra things, I had told her multiple times over the past couple years while this had been happening that I was uncomfortable with her being that close to other guys but she has never done anything about it even after saying so. When I dropped her at the airport I was the 3rd wheel between her and Matt. Sometimes she sleep talks and one time I got woken up because she was talking about Matt in her sleep. I don't know if I'm just really jealous or if she's in the wrong but it's definitely affecting our relationship.
Sorry this post is a bit messy but since they are living in an Airbnb together and are overseas a lot of emotions have built up and I really needed to get this off my chest.

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. This story might be long, haha. It's my very first time of posting on any kind of forum or reddit , 99 percent of the time I just read posts , but now I take my courage to speak with you guys as I consider this really important. ( Forgive me if my sentences aren't clear, as English is not my mother tongue)
I'm a 20-year-old male from two African and French-speaking countries in West Africa (I won't mention the names). Both countries have Islam as the main religion.
My parents got divorced when I was around 6–7 years old, and there was physical violence involved. They even took me to see a lawyer, but don't worry, I'm not really traumatized by it, and that's not the topic I want to talk about today.
Both sides of my family (mother and father's side) are very religious. Between the ages of twelve (when I moved to my grandparents' house) and sixteen, I was quite close to Islam. I prayed regularly, started learning Arabic, so I could read the Quran, and my grandmother wanted my little brother and me to learn as much as we could about Islam. She is the most religious person I've ever seen, with hundreds of books in her room, never missing any prayer, praying every night, and reading the Quran every time she has free time. She even hired someone to teach us Islam.
But when I moved back to my mother's house (I was in my second year of high school), I started to lose faith quite rapidly. I was starting to ask myself metaphysical questions. In high school, I became a very impartial person. I don't take sides, and I have the ability to disconnect myself from my family to think rationally and identify if they are right or wrong. I evaluate if your information is valuable and rational or completely biased and wrong. So I started to question everything about Islam, and I realized that everything I had been told was just completely wrong. I started to read articles, forums, and even watch videos proving that Islam was false. I was questioning everything at this point. From then on, I started to be extremely careful with the information I download into my head.
I currently live in South Africa for studies for a year and a half now, and I have some family members here (the family of my aunt who is the little sister of my father). She is living with her husband, a military colonel general who is 60 years old now (18 years older than my aunt). He is quite strict with his rules, and after 6 PM nobody can go out, even for a walk. If we make just a little mistake, he will start to scream at us and swear very badly. He wants us to be perfect, but perfection doesn't exist. He is kind, but still has a lot of problems.
Every time I'm at my aunt's house, I have to pray with him, and as you guys know, I lost my faith. I'm just pretending now to be a Muslim, and I don't even do the Wudu. I know it's terrible, but my brain can't accept that Islam is the way. Not only that, but I have to wear this mask every single time with my family members.
Another thing is that my aunt's husband considers me as his son, and he wants me to be the son he never got. But it doesn't work like that. He is very religious, and I'm not. I already have my own life, and I won't let anyone decide what I should believe in or not. My uncle can't understand that I'm not really his son. I come from a different family, with different rules and a way of life. He will say things like I shouldn't wear certain clothes or get a certain haircut. For one year, I had to live like this, and I was just one step away from going crazy. Fortunately, I survived.
I never showed my true personality to anyone except my closest cousin (who is gay lol, and nobody knows except my aunt and his father) and my little brother. Both know that I'm no longer a Muslim, but they still support me. I know my cousin more than anyone in his life. He is a good person who saved me multiple times. When he came out to me saying that he has a different sexual orientation, he thought I would hate him for life. As you all know, Muslims are quite homophobic, but I didn't care. Why? Because he is a human being. He didn't choose to have a different sexual orientation; he was born with it. But my aunt always says that it's Shaytan or the demons controlling his mind, which is pitiful to think like that.
And, here's the plot twist: her daughter is bisexual. I know because my cousin told me. My aunt and uncle believe in every WhatsApp message sent to multiple people, and they're the type of people who believe that people who don't believe in God or in Islam are just pitiful. When he is the one pitiful!
I feel that Islam is preventing us from actually enjoying life. I have a baggy style of clothing, not to flex, but to feel confident. The clothes you wear can bring positive emotions and feelings, and my family doesn't understand that. I even want to pierce one of my ears because I would feel better in terms of confidence, as I find it aesthetic.
As you all know, women are considered as objects in Islam. They don't have free will and need to obey their husbands, or they will get beaten hard. I find this quite unfortunate. Women are the half of us men, and we should respect each other. One shouldn't be treated badly. Another thing is marrying or dating someone of another religion. My aunt said that she wouldn't let her daughter marry someone who is not a Muslim. I think I heard of the rule that a Muslim woman shouldn't marry a non-Muslim man, while a Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as long as you two love each other. Diversity is beautiful. Some family members say that we shouldn't marry non-Muslim women; otherwise, they will have to convert to Islam. I'm against this. Every woman in this world comes from a different household with different beliefs that their parents taught them. I won't let my future wife convert to Islam. She will believe in what she wants to believe in.
The relationship between my uncle and my aunt is problematic because of Islam. My aunt and cousin (their daughter) are literally trapped, doomed, and in prison. Even my aunt, who is a grown adult, needs to ask for permission for small things such as going out to buy groceries or going for a walk with a friend. Why? Even I couldn't invite my classmates because they don't like strangers. My cousin can't live her life; she is in high school, but she can't enjoy her teenage life because of how Islam brainwashed our family, especially her parents. She can't have a boyfriend or even go out with her closest friends.
My uncle thinks that he had a good and positive impact on me when he didn't. I told him that I want to be a father like him, but I lied. I mean, my uncle and aunt are really good people who helped me a lot, but often they do things that are just not rational. I was feeling so good when I left their house to move into my new place because I could find back my freedom, which is being myself and knowing that nobody is waiting for me to come back early, for example.
I wonder how my entire family will react when I come out as an ex-Muslim. I think they will cut me out, but you know what? Likewise, I found my purpose. My goal now is to be financially free thanks to SMMA and eCommerce, then launching my Start-Up. Once I have enough money, I will travel to find a place where I will be able to live my life with ease, and then I will cut out anyone who doesn't like me after my coming out as an ex-Muslim. I'm tired of taking on a fake personality and wearing this mask that I want to break.
Thanks a lot for reading, I know it was a long ass post, but I really wanted to share this, so I could have your opinion. Maybe some of you have been through the same thing as me.

I used to work for wegmans 6-8 years ago as a create a cake/decorator. I went through maybe 4 Bakery TLs. Why does it seem like they all go on a power trip? Especially if they've been in the bakery for 3 years? Is it just me who thinks that way?

Hi all,
I’m looking to buy a friend either a modded (shield drop, wavedash notches, etc) or have his commissioned for it. Does anyone have recs? I’ve been out of the community for a few years due to work and don’t know who’s a trusted figure in this.
Thank you!

My ex and I broke up about 2-3 months ago. She started dating someone I learned she met before we broke up.
The relationship was rocky for a while, plus learning about her new boyfriend completely ruined my mental image of her.
Now, I'm completely over any feelings I had for her, but I still check her socials sometimes and I can't help it. I'm seeking some sort of validation from her. Maybe it's just because she was the last person who gave me any.
I'm 22, next year is my last year of college. So it's the start of summer, I have few friends, no partner, and no supportive family to talk to. I don't WANT to download Tinder and settle for someone, but I need the validation and I don't get much from myself.

Posting this here because if I try in tall or otherwise, I'm certain they'll get mad and (unironically) pull out the usual short jokes then act like it didn't happen.
IMO couples closer in height look way more aesthetic than the 6'3 and 5'3-type couples you see around (just google the tall guy and short girl in Euphoria as a reference). Those gigantic height differences look ridiculous, everytime I see them it really does look like a man taking his child out grocery shopping or whatever. The only reason I get intimidated by couples with those kind of height differences is because of the dude's size vs myself alone, not because I wish I was in that type of relationship from a visual standpoint.
I think the ideal height difference obviously still lies in the guy being taller than the girl, but not to that extent which girls like to brag about. I'd say anywhere from 1-6 inch difference is ideal IMO. Its just that high heels get accounted for these days so girls are adding even more inches on top of that.
Also, there's the girls who want their bf to be taller than their friends bfs. Or simply taller than any guy in their current circle. So they'll go for the tallest guy(s) possible to make that happen no matter how inconvenient for them or how ridiculous it looks.

Our website: https://www.genkicourses.site/product/dan-koe-digital-economics-masters-degree/
​

Phase 0) Digital Economics 101

The Digital Economics 101 module will open 1 week prior to the cohort start date.This is an onboarding module that will get you up to speed so we can get straight into the material.This will be required to finish before the start date.

• Gain a deep understanding of all of the pieces in the digital economy.
• Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
• Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche

Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.

• Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
• Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
• Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).

Phase 2) Content Strategy

There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:

• Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
• Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
• Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
• Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
• Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.

Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer

Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.

• Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
• Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
• Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
• Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.

Phase 4) Marketing Strategy

You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).

• Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
• Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
• Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.

Bonus) The Creator Command Center

The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.

Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch

In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work.

Last year I met a new coworker and we hit it off pretty well
We enjoyed each other’s company, laughed, shared stories, played games, and just… it was nice
I asked her out and started dating
However it didn’t last long and she told me she didn’t want to see me anymore
It was kinda abrupt I’m not really sure what it was but I respected her decision
Eventually she went away, she had to go back to college
But
Now I recently heard she is coming back in a few weeks AND…
I don’t like it
The reason why I’m saying this is because I don’t how to handle a situation like this
I know myself
I can be pretty jealous, I can be pretty emotional
I can’t avoid her I have to work with her for 8 hours
How can I put those feelings aside for the WHOLE summer?
My strategy right now is to just play it cool, act like it doesn’t bother me and act like we used to before we dated but those thoughts are still in my head
BE PROFESSIONAL
Truth be told… I don’t want to like her
Romantically of course
There a lot of things about her that are just red flags to me
I thought maybe after a few weeks I talk with her to just kinda clear the air out on what happened and maybe pick up where we left off if we can resolve it
But now… I don’t think I want that
I’ve been seeking love and validation from everyone but myself
I don’t think it’s her I like It’s the idea and those feelings I had when I was with her. She just happened to be the one who filled that void
The big problem is I don’t like myself. I’m never good enough for that mean voice inside my head and I constantly look for approval from those around me and depend on it for happiness
But I’ll be honest… part of me… really… really hopes we’ll get back together because i wouldn’t have asked her out if I didn’t feel strongly about her. I had never asked out a coworker up until that point
But I don’t want to dwell on that, I shouldn’t dwell on that
I shouldn’t focus on that
I need to focus on me
But at work man… oof
What the hell do I do?
Can’t quit, can’t transfer
Yeah I think I’ll play it cool, treat her with respect and kindness but keep my distance and whatever happens I’ll just have to accept it and move forward

My boyfriend and I (both 22) have been dating for over a year and a half. In the beginning, he treated me like a princess, was always the one to initiate and plan, never stopped expressing his love for me and consistently sent sweet text messages. He was always open to hearing my concerns and I felt really secure in the relationship, knowing that he was an active participant.
Recently, some big changes have taken place in both of our lives, and he finds himself wrapped up in coursework, on campus job and partying. I gave him grace but it was getting really uncomfortable knowing that he never made time to call me. I have high standards for men, and I expect at least 10 minutes of conversation every single day. He used to go on family vacations and completely forget about me, and won’t even bother checking up on how I was doing.
Recently, when we hung out with our friends, I was trying to be close to him, like standing in front of him, gently holding his hand under the table and other light forms of PDA. He disengaged from all that I was left feeling like a fool. He was never uncomfortable with PDA before and always made it a point to show me off and overall being territorial in public and I enjoyed it. When I asked him, he said we should keep it low and I felt like more of a friend to him than a partner. He actively shut down this conversation, refusing to hear my concerns and said I was too needy, too emotional and too demanding. He dismissed everything I said, and although he was jetlagged at the time, that was no way of talking to me. He was already “too busy” giving time to everything except his girlfriend and I resented that.
When I sought Reddit’s advice, I got two things:
1) Got called a bunch of names: “needy” “controlling” “insecure” “codependent”
2) Or given advice that was BS: “talk to him” “say directly” “get therapy” “build some self esteem” - bitch, I have healthy self esteem because I don’t wanna settle for less!
None of this was what I was looking for. I felt neglected, underappreciated and taken for granted in my relationship. Then, I got recommended this book, “Reverse Ultimatum” by Mimi Tanner, that basically gives this advice of leaning back and take an extra amount of pressure off to get his ass to move. It asked me to purposely be less available and “busy” for my man, said no to calls, let him text me and not replying back immediately, got involved in all sorts of activities that made me feel better about myself - and he got curious at first and wanted my attention. It felt sooo good to finally have my boyfriend’s real attention instead of the crumbs he was so used to giving.
But I did not back down just yet. I had to be less available to him, had to fake my busy day, to give him the chance to really miss me and become clingy just like I was once. All the while, I wasn’t demanding or needy or passive aggressive. I was as sweet as a peach and that really created that mystery! I was playing the part of a popular celebrity who was living an “Innocent Charmed Life” - and thus my time was money. I appeared happy, attractive and made it a point to “glow” - and he noticed that! I reassured him whenever he asked me of my love for him, and it finally felt good to be the one who WASN’T asking for reassurances.
I leaned back and watched him send flowers, get me coffee, send me desserts, write poems about me, show me off
So yea ladies, this is me proving how you can absolutely “get” your partner to do things for you and have your needs met. Had I not gotten a hold of that book, I wouldn’t have been able to save the relationship. Today, he treats me the way I want to be treated, because he is afraid of losing me, having gotten a taste of what it’s like to miss me. We don’t “miss” things we already have, and this was the reason why I wasn’t “missed” by him. This was really a turning point in my relationship and today I am much happier with him.
TLDR: playing it dirty isn’t all bad

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/05/31/is-housing-market-going-to-crash/70260153007/
There is little debate that the U.S. housing market is cooling down after home values rose at a frenzied pace during the pandemic. For the first time in 131 months, home prices fell year-over-year in February, ending the longest price growth streak.
The median existing-home sales price in April slipped 1.7% from one year ago to $388,800.
Meanwhile, elevated mortgage rates − which have doubled since early last year − have constrained homebuyers’ purchasing power. Instability in the banking sector, headlines about layoffs, and growing recession risks are also causing prospective homebuyers to hold back. So, does this mean a housing crash could be on the horizon? Housing experts don’t believe that to be the case.
“Despite uncertainty in the economy and the housing market right now, there is little to suggest that the housing market is poised for a crash,” says Bright MLS Chief Economist Lisa Sturtevant. “For a plunge in home prices—like we saw in 2008, for example—we would need demand to pull back dramatically and/or supply to increase significantly.”
While housing prices have dropped slightly year-over-year since February, a lack of inventory and a strong jobs market have contributed to stubbornly high home prices despite much higher mortgage rates.
"The housing market cannot compare to last year’s intense spring home buying market,” says Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research. “However, there is strong demand for housing. In the last month one-third of homes sold above the listed price and the typical home received three offers."
Properties typically remained on the market for 22 days in April, down from 29 days in March but up from 17 days in April 2022. Seventy-three percent of homes sold in April were on the market for less than a month, according to NAR.
Inventory in the first quarter averaged 1,630,000 listings at any given time, down 40% from the first quarter of 2019, a year before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the National Association of Realtors.
There has been limited supply as 85% of mortgage holders are locked in to sub-5% mortgage interest rates, which discourages current homeowners from selling their home and buying another at today’s elevated interest rates.
Total housing inventory registered at the end of April was 1.04 million units, up 7% from March and 1% from one year ago (1.03 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 2.9 month supply at the current sales pace, up from 2.6 months in March and 2.2 months in April 2022, according to the National Association of Realtors.
If there were significant job losses, we could see an increase in the number of people unable to make their mortgage payments and who would therefore have to list their homes for sale, says Sturtevant. “However, right now, even if we do head into a recession later this year, the labor market is still extremely tight and major job losses still seem unlikely,” Sturtevant says.
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in May rose five points to 50, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released in May. This marks the fifth straight month that builder confidence has increased and is the first time that sentiment levels have reached the midpoint mark of 50 since July 2022. Scores over 50 indicate that builders view market conditions as “good” rather than “fair” or “poor.” The inventory of new houses for sale at the end of April stood at 433,000, which represents a supply of 7.6 months at the current sales rate.
The median sales price of new single-family homes in April declined to $420,800 from a median price of $455,800 in March. The median home price in April of 2022 was $458,200.
"New home prices have adjusted lower due to higher interest rates, despite a post-covid 38% increase for construction costs," says National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "New home prices were down 8% year-over-year in April. That will likely be the end of that price adjustment."

It asked me to purposely be less available and “busy” for my man, said no to calls, let him text me and not replying back immediately, got involved in all sorts of activities that made me feel better about myself - and he got curious at first and wanted my attention. It felt sooo good to finally have my boyfriend’s real attention instead of the crumbs he was so used to giving.
But I did not back down just yet. I had to be less available to him, had to fake my busy day, to give him the chance to really miss me and become clingy just like I was once. All the while, I wasn’t demanding or needy or passive aggressive. I was as sweet as a peach and that really created that mystery! I was playing the part of a popular celebrity who was living an “Innocent Charmed Life” - and thus my time was money. I appeared happy, attractive and made it a point to “glow” - and he noticed that! I reassured him whenever he asked me of my love for him, and it finally felt good to be the one who WASN’T asking for reassurances.
I leaned back and watched him send flowers, get me coffee, send me desserts, write poems about me, show me off
So yea ladies, this is me proving how you can absolutely “get” your partner to do things for you and have your needs met. Had I not gotten a hold of that book, I wouldn’t have been able to save the relationship. Today, he treats me the way I want to be treated, because he is afraid of losing me, having gotten a taste of what it’s like to miss me. We don’t “miss” things we already have, and this was the reason why I wasn’t “missed” by him. This was really a turning point in my relationship and today I am much happier with him.
TLDR: playing it dirty isn’t all bad

France us renowned for its culinary breadth but majority of restaurants sell the same thing. Steak and chips, steak tartare, burgers. And few vegetables which for a country who grows a lot of vegetables is surprising. Does anyone know why this is?

I am a british curriculum student who just finished grade 10 IGCSE. And am lookin for schools for grade 11 and 12. I found the school named Al Mahd, which has british curriculum for grade 11 and 12. But i don't have any info on the school. Their website isn't that helpful either. So does anyone know or go to Al Mahd. Plews letmre know what yk about it. Thank you

Someone who has an interest in tech and food. I noticed supermarkets search based on text rather than nutrients. So a platform that does this is the perfect fit. What do you think?

Thought it would be interesting to start a discussion on what people think are the pros and cons with the current Everton Squad. Not including the board because that's just one big con.
And after all what is Everton but balled up optimism and pessimism, bouching all over the place, leaving a mess wherever it's been.
So let's start with the Defence
Pro: When it comes to goals conceded, Everton were 13th, had we conceded 5 less we would have been 10th, putting us at average to just below average (it's depressing when that is a pro) although who knows how much of that was down to Pickford
Con: Losing both Mina and Coady. Not for their defensive contributions Mina barely played (and although he was influential in the last 4 games, he wasn't throughout the majority of the season) and Coady couldn't jump over a matchstick. But for their personalities in the dressing rooms both were massive characters.
Concern: All eggs in the Braithwaite basket, I really hope he does well when he comes back, we'll enough to be our starter, but he has come back from a weaker league, and if it doesn't work out, who is taking his place as it stands? Most likely Keane
Now onto the Midfield
Pro: arguably our strongest position with the most depth as well, Doucoure, Onana, Garner, Gana and Iwobi are on paper fairly solid for mid table but...
Con: Scoring goals, excluding Doucoure, the other 4 scored 3 goals over the course of the season. I'm not belittling them because of this, we have all known Gana isn't a goal scorers. But we need player who can chip in with a goal every now and then. Even Doucoure before the last 4 games only managed 2 goals. Had each of Iwobi, Gana, Onana and Garner scored just 2 goals each this season we would have finished with 5 extra goals.
Speaking of goals onto the forwards
Pro: Dwight Mcneil's resurgence under Sean Dyche. Not too much to say, bit apart from Pickford he was probably our best player under Dyche and finished with 7 goals, which for where we are right now, is good for a winger.
Con: Everything else, DCL not staying fit, lack of goals again, our 3 centre forwards combined with a massive 4 goals in the League last season. Let's be honest this is by far and away our weakest part of the field and the main reason (on the pitch) we were where we were.
Obviously there is much more to talk about (such as our lack of depth and injury conerns in the wing back positions) but this post is long enough already. So what are your opinions.

I love reading up on these different scams. It keeps me up to date and wary. Here's one of the more hilarious attempts I've encountered. I was working when I received a phone call on my cell from the "Microsoft IT Dept" about needing to upgrade my computer. It was a heavy middle eastern accent and the background noise sounded like he was in a warehouse. So he goes on about how important it is he does this upgrade today and if I'm at my computer, I could allow him to remote in. I told him that I wasn't at my laptop and besides, I don't have a computer with Microsoft, I have an Apple computer. He told me to hold on. A few seconds later an "Apple IT" person got on and pitched the same thing. I hung up.

I know what you're thinking. Who cares about Kul'Tirans? Nobody plays those. They're fat and look stupid! Well, you're right. Most people don't care... but I do!
I love our big boi Kul'Tirans. They are my favorite race, but unfortunatly the male KT's are using bugged animations!
Multiple spells in the game use the same animations across ALL races. Here's the most relevant example:
Warriors Cleave, Death Knight's Death & Decay AOE attacks, Shaman's Crash Lightning and Paladin's Ashen Verdict all use the same 2-handed swipe animation. It gives a good visual of the hitbox and lets you know exactly what you're going to hit! Except... our big boi male KTs just re-use one of their auto attack animations. It looks goofy and does not represent the actual hitbox at all!
This can affect gameplay clarity in PVP and in PVE too... aswell as just looking so much worse!
Here's a visual example:
Male
Female
There's some others that are inconsistent, such as Warrior's Slam just using a re-used auto attack too, but this is the primary bugged animation across all classes!

It seems every time I have some sort of human interaction with, I'm immediately repulsed and offended by everything everyone does all the time.
I only get relief when I'm alone using my computer or when I'm with an INFPs
Being alone doesn't really bother me. I've come to accept that I will always be living inside my head, that's just who I am as a person.
My main concern is if it's healthy for my mind and spirit.
The older I get, the more isolated I become.
I recently got out of an abusive relationship with a narcissist and ever since, I've COMPLETELY isolated myself from the world.
I learned the hard way that the majority of people out there don't think in the selfless way that I do.
Living in my room spending all my time on my computer either working or watching YouTube.
Pushing away childhood friends that call me once a month to check on me.
I get bouts of depression every now and then, and suicidal thoughts.
Though, thinking of killing myself makes me wonder, what do I have to lose if I "put myself out there" since I'm already thinking of taking my own life anyways?
What don't I strive for the betterment of humanity instead of being fascinated with the beauty of the afterlife?
That place I yearn for will eventually come.
It's best to observe the awe and wonder of a DMT explosion in your brain at the age of 90, so you can dance in nirvana with your grandchildren when time has come to a complete halt and you are living in the moment of death for all eternity.

Having just finished watching spider-man: across the spider-verse, I feel as if there are deliberate parallels between the marvel comics Secret Wars storyline from 2015 and how the current MCU story and spider-verse trilogy are unfolding. These parallels seem to indicate that one particular character will be joining the MCU with absolute certainty, just not how many people may be thinking him to. This post will contain spoilers for across the spider-verse.
First and foremost, context for those that may be unaware. Some paraphrasing is involved but these are the general ideas that are necessary to follow along. Marvel comic's 2015 Secret Wars was a cross promotional storyline devised to reset the then comics Canon. The idea from publishing was to take all of the ongoing stories, mainline and alternate realities, keep what was working and scrap what wasn't.
In the story, the main continuity, which is known as the 616 universe, becomes aware of an ongoing phenomenon that is occurring known as incursions. An incursion is two separate realities colliding with one another, if nothing is done both realities will destroy one another as reality unravels in on themselves. The 616 heros find ways to keep their reality going when a couple separate realities present themselves, this all comes to a head when they are faced with the Ultimate universe. The ultimate universe, designated 1610, is home to many familiar faces but most importantly it's the home of Spider-man Miles Morales. Now, in this universe, Miles took over the duties of Spider-man when his version of Peter Parker is killed. And as these two realities are faced with imminent destruction, two factions of heroes from each earth decide that they are done with the fighting and board multidimensional space ships that will take them into whats next. The world's get destroyed, the heroes find themselves in a new land thats under Dr Dooms control and they begin their next steps towards fixing reality. One of the heroes that makes it is 1610 Miles morales. Eventually, in this battle world, Mr. Fantastic and company are able to usurp Dr. Doom and end up creating the current continuity of Marvel comics that exists. This current continuity which includes the alternate reality 1610 miles morales, which because of cosmic tampering is now Canon to the main 616 universe.
So thats all good and dandy, but what does it have to do with the movies? I believe that specific numbering and events we've seen in films have set the stage and are alluding to the fact that things are playing out very similar to that 2015 storyline.
In Spider-man homecoming, we are all introduced to the character of Aaron Davis in a small, fairly short scene. Aaron Davis is the uncle of miles, in fact he specifically mentions that he has a nephew in that scene. Heavily implying its miles and telling fans that miles is definitely going to be in the MCU in time. Marvel studios introduced the idea of miles joining the MCU with this scenes, all that remains is the how. Sure, they could go for a more traditional route but I don't think they are.
In Dr strange, multiverse of madness, the MCU gets, arguably, the most important exposure to the multiverse. For the purposes of this theory, most of the events in that movie don't have any relevance. The important take away is when Dr strange finds himself in an alternate reality, in that reality, he comes face to face with Christine who tells him he's in reality 838. She then elects to tell him that his reality is 616, in otherwords the MCU is reality 616. They both need to tread carefully however, since a series of devastating reality shattering events have been going on. Events known as incursions.
The parallels should hopefully be showing themselves but there's a little bit more so if you would, please follow along a bit more.
Okay, Into the spider-verse, the 2018 film that is incredible. What does it have to do with this. In that movie, we follow Miles Morales who becomes spiderman after he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and witnesses Peter Parker spiderman die by the hands of the kingpin. The kingpin creates a collider that accidentally brings in alternate reality spider-men to miles universe. His universe which is known as reality 1610. The story is of him coming into his own and accepting the role of spiderman and what comes with it, he saves the day and is able to get the other spiders home. Along the process, he destroys that very same collude that was used to bring people in.
So, from here on out there are going to be spoilers for across the spider-verse. If you haven't seen it, tread with caution.
Across the spider-verse, it's been 1 year and some months since the collider. Miles has learned a lot and has become more capable as spiderman. Early on in the movie he ends up fighting The Spot, a villain who can use black portals to move around space. While the two are fighting, we find out that The Spot is actually a scientist who was at the collider when miles blew it up. Miles is the reason The Spot exists and The Spot detests Miles for it. Miles seemingly defeats him but this leads to the spot realizing he can travel the multiverse. Gwen from the previous movie shows up to miles universe, as she has joined a spider society that works towards fixing mulitversal anomalies, in pursuance of the spot. Realizing the spots no longer there, she leaves and miles follows her, taking him on a journey across the spider-verse. On this journey, he sees that tampering with other realities, or having different realities interacting with each other, cause a reaction that destroys them. Much like the incursions of the MCU.
So, an MCU thats 616. A version of miles morales thats from 1610 with two incredible movies and one more on the way. Incursions happening across movie universes and movie franchises that represent comics from 2015. The MCU is the 2015 marvel mainline comics, the spider-verse is akin to the ultimate universe, and what does the MCU have on the horizon. An MCU movie called secret wars that many believe will consolidate the movie landscape and usher in a new era. The promise of Miles has been hanging for a few years and what better time to deliver than when Miles is at his peak popularity.
The next installment in the spider-verse is said to conclude this chapter of miles story. It's meant to bring him into a new fray. What could be better than introducing him to a new landscape with familiar heroes. His next movie is going to be "Beyond the spider-verse". Whats more beyond a spider-verse than a Marvel cinematic universe?
If you've made it this far, thanks a lot for reading along. I hope you enjoyed and its all in good fun anyway. Have a good one.
