Hi All,
I'm sure you have probably noticed that updates have been coming less frequently and I want to provide some explanation.
As you may or may not be aware, Reddit has been planning some changes to its API (the way apps fetch data from Reddit) for quite some time and I've been holding off on doing any major work until we get some clarity on what that means for Dark Red. Today they've made public the news that the API is going to become (effectively) paid only. To be clear, this will 100% kill Dark Red as it is today. The cost to pay for the API requests that users are making is not sustainable at all for the current one-off fee of $4 USD I charge.
The developer of Apollo and other similar Reddit Apps has made it clear that it's also cost prohibitive even for them without raising the price to $8-$10 USD per month per user just to bring in a small profit. Most of this cost will go directly to Reddit, a lot will go to Apple, and the left overs will go to the developer.
I'll be monitoring the situation closely over the next couple of weeks to see if public outcry will change anything, but it's not looking great. There's very few options on where to go from here. If Reddit back down on this then we're golden, but if they push through then there's really only two options: Dark Red goes pay-per-month or it shuts down. I truly wish this wasn't the case, but there's not much else I can do.
As a closing comment I just want to say thank you to all those who have sent through their support and who have supported developer of Dark Red. It's been a great journey and I'm still hoping it doesn't have to end so soon.
Nick

“We don’t care if Tucker leaves. We’ll put someone else into the 8pm slot and no one will care”
Jokes on your Twitch/Fox News people REALLY give a fuck about the PERSONALITY not the channel.

I have about 7 large sets and am always reaching for at least 2 or 3, maybe even 4 when I do a look. Lately I've started to wonder if anyone else does this. I literally have one quad where I think all the colors work perfectly together and don't need anything else. Even my nude looks I have to swap around cuz this taupe pulls red on me (side note SO MANY browns pull red on me wtf) and the skin tone one from this set is wrong etc etc. And that's not even introducing color!
What does your regular routine look like? Your play routine? Or did you just forgo the chaos and repot them all (or whatever it's called now) do you have a pallette that you will toss in for travel because it is versatile enough it can be all you need?

Fortune Favors the Brave is actively recruiting for Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Heroic raiding. At the current time we are 9/9 Normal and 7/9 Heroic. We are looking for a few more people to fill out our raid team. We have an in-game community for players from other servers; however, we can only provide feasts and potion cauldrons if you are cross-realm and not any guild repairs, phials (DF flasks), gems, or enchants.
10.1 Raid Schedule:
Progression Raid Nights: Tuesday/Thursday 8:00PM - 11:00PM Eastern Standard Time
Alt Raid Night: Will either be Fridays at 8:00PM - 11:00PM Eastern Standard Time or takeover the Prog nights once Heroic is cleared.
About Us
We are a semi-hardcore group of friends that has been slowly growing over the years and finally hit critical mass to make our own guild. Most of our members are 25+ with jobs, so many players are on around 5pm-12pm EST. We have several members who enjoy Mythic+ and PvP on the side. Having raided as a team for a few years now, we tend to poke fun at each other and ourselves. We are all adults, so we use vulgar language and don't tolerate real drama. During our downtime between raid tiers, several members of our team branch out and play other multiplayer games as a group (ex: Ark, Diablo 4, Valheim, 7 Days to Die, V Rising, Deep Rock Galactic, Gartic Phone etc.).
What We Are Looking For
We are aiming for a team of 15-20 raiders. We believe in quality over quantity for our raid team. At the moment we are recruiting a Tank and a healer to finish off Heroic Aberrus. While we would prefer the classes below for their raid buffs/utility any exceptional tanks or healers are welcome to apply:
Monk = Brewmaster / Mistweaver
Deathknight = Blood
Demonhunter = Vengeance
Druid = Guardian / Restoration
Priest = Holy / Discipline
What We Expect
-Must have Discord and a working microphone/headset.
-Must download and maintain required addons (WeakAuras and DBM/Big Wigs).
-Must agree to our loot roll guidelines. Essentially, prioritize 4-set tier bonuses. Roll need for upgrades; greed for transmog; pass on all else so the raid can disenchant.
-Show up on time to raid. If you are going to be late or absent, let us know in the “Raid Absences” channel in Discord.
-Do your best with mechanics. If you make a mistake, own it, learn from it, and move on. If you are not pulling your weight (ex: grey parsing) feel free to hit up the Raid Leader after raid to work on it. If you are consistently not pulling your weight, you will be asked to sit out until it is fixed.
-When we are progressing on a boss, keep it serious. When we are farming, feel free to fuck around and kill your friends; I know I will be.
Hit me up if you are interested in Discord, and we can talk: Arthuras#1133 Or message me on Battle.net at Arthuras#1144

Male. 31 years old. Don’t smoke cigarettes, drink recreationally, but I do smoke weed. No medications currently. In Canada.
Referencing this article: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-updates-warnings-fluoroquinolone-antibiotics

”Today’s action also follows a May 12, 2016, drug safety communication advising that fluoroquinolones should be reserved for these conditions only when there are no other options available due to potentially permanent, disabling side effects occurring together.”

It’s talking specifically about “acute bacterial sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and uncomplicated urinary tract infections.”
Anyways. I saw my doc today because my testicles have felt achy for awhile now. (9 months - a year maybe?) Used to take Finasteride/Propecia but stopped quite some time ago because I thought it was causing the aching in my testicles.
He did a physical exam and didn’t find anything, but says it could be an infection. I don’t have any other signs of infection. No fever, redness of the testicles or pus or oozing etc. No bladder or UT issues etc.
I had blood drawn to check my testosterone levels, but that’s it.
I didn’t know what he had prescribed until I picked it up from the pharmacy. But now I’m wondering…
Is it safe to take such an aggressive antibiotic without knowing whether or not I even have an infection?
If I’ve had an infection this whole time, wouldn’t it be way worse by now?
Is there a different type of antibiotic I should be trying first? Should I even be taking ANY antibiotics at this point?
I completely trust my doctor and can’t see why he would prescribe something that has the potential to be so harmful, but this is very concerning and I’m pretty frustrated now that I feel like I don’t have any solutions. The next follow up I could get to see him is on mid July, so I thought I’d post here.
Thanks all

Today, I present to you an hypothesis that aims to shed light on the potential mysterious entity I dubbed the Harbinger within the world of Thedas. The Harbinger hypothesis suggests that there exists a malevolent force, intricately connected to the Blight, ancient artifacts, the Old Gods, the Fade, red lyrium, and political divisions, working towards its own dark agenda.
The central premise of this hypothesis is that the Harbinger has devised a carefully orchestrated plan, spanning centuries, to manipulate Thedas and bring about its own nefarious goals.
We will organise this as if the Harbinger were the culprite behind its many potential masks.
By analyzing the lore and historical events, we can uncover a series of interconnected steps that align with the Harbinger’s actions and its overarching plan.

1. Infiltration and Corruption:

The Harbinger’s plan commences with the subtle infiltration of key positions and the corruption of influential individuals across Thedas. Drawing parallels to the infamous Corypheus, an awakened Magister from the Tevinter Imperium, we witness how manipulation can destabilize nations and sow discord.

• References: • Dragon Age: Inquisition, “Legacy” DLC - Specifically, the investigation of Corypheus and his actions, as well as the uncovering of his plans and infiltration. 

1. Manipulation of Ancient Artifacts:

Central to the Harbinger hypothesis is its manipulation of ancient artifacts associated with elven civilization. The Eluvian mirrors, discovered throughout the Dragon Age games, are believed to harbor immense power and knowledge. Solas, the enigmatic Dread Wolf, seeks to harness these artifacts, indicating the potential influence of the Harbinger.

• References: • Dragon Age: Inquisition - Particularly, the quests involving the Eluvian mirrors and Solas’ interactions with them. 

1. Cultivating Discontent and Discord:

The Harbinger exhibits a remarkable ability to exploit social, racial, and religious divisions within Thedas. The turmoil within Kirkwall, epitomized by Knight-Commander Meredith’s descent into madness fueled by red lyrium, exemplifies the Harbinger’s capacity to fuel discontent.

• References: • Dragon Age II - Specifically, the events surrounding Knight-Commander Meredith and the corruption of red lyrium. 

1. Seeding Dissension among Nations:

Political rivalries and territorial disputes are ruthlessly exploited by the Harbinger to serve its machinations. Notable events such as the Orlesian civil war illustrate how the Harbinger capitalizes on existing divisions, undermining coordinated efforts to combat the Blight and fracturing the unity of nations.

• References: • Dragon Age: Inquisition - Particularly, the quests and events related to the Orlesian civil war and the manipulation of political divisions. 

1. Targeting the Grey Wardens:

Recognizing the Grey Wardens as a significant obstacle, the Harbinger orchestrates targeted attacks on the order. The actions of Loghain in Dragon Age: Origins and subsequent events demonstrate the Harbinger’s determination to cripple the Wardens and hinder their ability to combat the Blight.

• References: • Dragon Age: Origins - Specifically, the events involving Loghain and his betrayal of the Grey Wardens. 

1. Unleashing Cataclysmic Blights:

The emergence of Archdemons, the corruption of the Old Gods, and the ensuing Blights throughout Thedas hint at the Harbinger’s orchestration. The simultaneous Blights witnessed in Dragon Age: Origins suggest a coordinated effort to spread chaos, overwhelm the forces of good, and further the Harbinger’s influence.

• References: • Dragon Age: Origins - Particularly, the encounters with the Archdemon and the Blight, as well as the overall storyline of the game. 

1. Ascension and Transformation:

As chaos engulfs Thedas, it is speculated that the Harbinger seeks to harness the power of the Blight to ascend to an even greater state of malevolence. While no direct in-game reference confirms this outcome, the recurring themes of manipulation, corruption, and chaos lend credence to the notion of a transformative ascension.
Misc.

1. Ancient Tevinter Texts:

“The Forbidden Ones” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Origins, Circle Tower) reveals the existence of ancient mages who sought forbidden knowledge and power, potentially alluding to the Harbinger’s manipulation of dark forces.
“Vir Dirthara: The Way of Three Trees” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Exalted Plains) provides insights into ancient elven lore, offering potential clues about the Harbinger’s involvement with elven artifacts and its connection to the Blight.

1. The Chant of Light:

Verse 5:1 of the Canticle of Silence (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Haven) speaks of “the shadow that comes, spreading its dark influence,” hinting at the Harbinger’s clandestine orchestration of events.
Verse 9:7 of the Canticle of Trials (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Origins, Redcliffe Castle) alludes to “a serpent with a thousand eyes,” symbolizing the Harbinger’s ability to manipulate and exploit political divisions.

1. Dalish Elf Lore:

“The Tale of Fen’Harel” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Various Locations) unveils the story of the Dread Wolf, Solas, and his involvement in ancient elven history. Exploring this tale may reveal connections between the Harbinger and Solas’s plans, including the manipulation of the Fade and the Veil.
“Elgar’nan: God of Vengeance” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Exalted Plains) provides insights into Elgar’nan, an elven god associated with vengeance. This entry might contain veiled references to the Harbinger’s role in ancient elven conflicts.

1. Solas’s Revelations:

Conversations with Solas (Character Dialogue, Dragon Age: Inquisition) unveil profound insights into the nature of the Veil, ancient artifacts, and his intentions to tear down the Veil. These revelations indirectly connect to the Harbinger’s plans and its involvement in manipulating ancient forces.

1. Codex Entries and Letters:

“The Architect’s Journal” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening) offers glimpses into the mind of the Architect, a sentient darkspawn. This entry provides clues about the Harbinger’s influence over the darkspawn and its manipulation of the Blight.
“Research Notes: Red Lyrium” (Codex Entry, Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Descent

Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I will try and keep this as brief as I can. Still LOOONG
I am a 48(m) divorced 2 years ago, 4 children. Wife kept the house I kept my 401K. was married for 12 years. . Took everything I had to boost my credit and find an apartment in a nearby city so as to remain close to the kids. Me and my coparent are on somewhat amicable terms.
Had ZERO intentions of meeting somebody new or even wanting to date after finding apartment and moving in awaiting divorce finalization.I did however process my divorce. Long story short, an old high school crush now 46, (whom rejected me years ago then immediately got knocked up by a guy I cant stand and had 2 kids with but never married) reached out via Facebook. ( I hardly ever am even on FB, timing I suppose) ( It should be said I have turned down many such women who rejected me in the past, this one however slipped through the cracks , so to speak
I vaguely entertained the thought of meeting up with her as she was requesting. We spoke on and off through messenger for a couple of months, maybe 3. Apparently since high school she has been in a string of bad relationships after another (I know I know, red flag), doesn't believe in marriage and was bitter about the fact she never got child support etc etc. She told me she had just gotten out of a relationship where she was basically the stepmom to a handful of little ones but and how hard it was to have to leave them. Now she was down and out she said and had lost everything after one of her friends committed suicide, her losing her car after being in an accident, and her father passing away around the same time and unfortunately was now having to live at her mothers.
I half halfheartedly agreed to meet her. I felt pangs of guilt even though my ex wife was the initiator of divorce. Later my ex wife would say I didn't even try to reconcile, which is patently false. . In either case, we were an instant hit. I am a few cities over she had never been to and was just thrilled to "finally meet and be with me, the guy she has really loved and had a crush on all these years". I told her I wanted to take things slow however with her having no transportation she used this to her advantage, and still does.
She started staying weekends and then I got tired of driving an hour back and forth twice a weekend so she talked me into staying as she needed a job anyway within walking distance. This is where things start to fall apart. She starts drinking heavily, like a 5th of vodka a day and smoking cigarettes all the time. Here I am trying to get away from that. Arguing ensues over bullshit. She makes a mess in the kitchen, leaves her clothes on the floor, lives out of bags, refused to hang them up etc. In short, acting like a belligerent child. I kick her ass out and take her back to moms. This goes on for months, back and forth. I find she still had pics of her and her ex in phone, an ex she DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT.
Apparently, at the time we began talking she was [having sex with] this dude that lives in her neighborhood that was also a previous ex. So, she left the other guy to go home so she could [have sex with] him, and then sought me out and was partying her ass off but just didn't have a pot to piss in . My cousins all told me she was bad news and to stay away from her, I wish I would have listened. I am just on option to her so to speak. So now , I am like what[ ] ? She gaslights me and says I told you about him, we didn't [have sex] , blah blah her story changes left and right. We start arguing when she gets belligerent and she says vile shit so I say it right back, but then she hits me with the well he has a huge dick. Just terrible verbal and emotional abuse. I kick her out 5 more times. My dumb ass keeps picking her up , she keeps deceiving me, i think love bombing me I suppose.
I catch her on her fb with a new coworker,(28M married!) says its nothing, deletes him. Very suspicious. She quits as the job was shitty. We fight argue and bicker. I take her home but not before she lands another job. The new boss drives an hour to pick her up from her moms and brings her to her house where she stays for 3 months! Gives her an extra car to use! We are on and off. Her employer (female) gives her a 5 bedroom apartment for $600 a month on no credit and no deposit and she can walk to work! What the actual fuck. Were on and off. Now she drinks daily, a bottle or less, a lot. She starts fights and argues and bickers and disappears almost every weekend but only lives a few miles away and has deactivated her fb (still suspicious) and gives me keys to apartment and phone password. Says she loves me and only me and doesn't [care] about any so called "options" she may or may not have. She is very attractive but acts like she doesn't receive or notice male attention however I think this is complete and utter bullshit and gaslights the shit out of me. Swears she is true. I find a male pube on toilet seat , which seems odd. At work the bathrooms are separate.
So now, this woman has setup her treacherous lifestyle in my face and in the face of my ex wife and children I should mention. She hangs outside her apartment afternoons smoking cigarettes with her tits popped out , but "cant stand male attention". She wants me and only me. She starts arguments every Friday via text (never plans) but then blames me for treating her poorly and disappears to apartment and gets a bottle of vodka a day until Monday comes and she shakes and pukes from withdrawal. Then she begs and pleads and says she cant live like that she needs to do better and we get back together and everything is great until the vicious cycle continues. Its been going on almost 2 years, I love her but I want to slap the piss out of her ( i wont though , cuz laws) I do not see her the majority of weekends. Usually she calls every so often wasted on Sunday for a booty call it seems.
She makes me happy when she wants to. The majority of the time I am not happy, she does not meet my needs, and is not reliable. So I already have my answer there. She gives me anxiety and somehow makes me feel bad about myself and I honestly have never experienced this before. It is soul crushing. She blames and gaslights and deflects and manipulates and deceives. This woman literally did not even know the meaning of the word empathy! She is cruel and possessive and we are still addicted to each other. I know I need to end it. I could go on but believe it or not this is the short version .
Why do I still love her and vice versa? Has she [messed] my mind up and trauma bonded me ? There is no reason to stay since she causes me more grief than happiness I understand the logic but then why does my heart still belong to her? She has outright admitted jealousy and envy of me, my ex wife, etc. Does she just want her cake and eat it too? She doesn't want to let go of me. I have the keys to her apartment and the password to her phone and she swears up and down she isn't cheating but yall know as well as I motherfuckers be slick.
Is she just keeping me as a placeholder until something better comes along ? I mean , she obviously kept me on the back burner from the jump ,talking to me the entire time she was [having sex with] her ex. Leads me to believe she was talking to him while she was playing step mom with the other dude. How is it I love this woman? She has no redeeming qualities I can think of! She is unpatriotic, and weaponizes feminism. Whatever, Ill shut up . I will say she is a master at blame and deflection and manipulation. Also, drunks lie, oh my god how they lie..I dont trust her further than I could throw her.
My question to you is WHY ? Am I just a toy to her? All she talks about is me me me, I am her screen saver on her phone. She "has given up everything for me to be here for me" (but ditches me every week!) I am so confused by this woman. I mean, I already know this shit needs to end, but HOW? And also how do I come to terms with the possibility of this woman living down the street now just getting drunk and doing whatever she does with all her male orbiters . The shit hurts and I am pissed at myself. I have definitely learned some boundaries. What sticks with me the most is, when someone tells you who they are, believe them . M gut feeling has been screaming at me as well the entire time.
Thank you for any insight and guidance, I appreciate it immensely . I have so far told her its over and blocked and deleted her its been almost a week of NC and I feel better already. She sought me out when I was at my lowest point.

Interesting update to my previous post about this MME Premium:
Contacted the local Ford dealership and asked to have an Oasis report ran on the VIN. Came back as placed into service in Feb this year. Great news for warranty coverage! Right?
Well, the Oasis report also had several lines of bright red text saying “WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! -VERIFY VIN/WARRANTY COVERAGE- -VEHICLE SOLD IN PUERTO RICO- -SERVICE INFO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE- -LAST KNOWN COUNTRY —>UNITED STATES”
Service manager mentioned that the warranty followed the car but that he had never seen that warning in an Oasis report. I called Ford NA and they could not verify the VIN had an active warranty on it and gave me the contact info for the Ford PR people. Emailed them today but have not heard back.
Sooooo,
Anyone seen this before? Looks like this was bought new in PR, then immediately sold at an auction house in Orlando. I know it’s Orlando, because the dealership has given me a copy of the auction bill of sale and are willing to sell to me at a loss. I believe so they don’t have to pay to ship it back to Orlando. Their price is about 2500 below what the auction invoice states.
My biggest issue right now is that lack of warranty. I’ve got my insurance agent looking at the VIN and making sure there’s nothing that would prevent getting it covered. Next stop is the DMV to make sure I could register it.
What do y’all think? Would you take a great deal on a questionable MME without a warranty?
