The last mouse I tested died quickly. Its insides liquified into black goo.
“Well that’s unhelpful.” I said, softly, as the thing began to steam.
I dropped batch p-316 into the trash.
It had been three months since I’d been asked to take a job from a man in black suit who was interested in both my Masters’ Thesis and the fact I already had a tier 4 security clearance.
I was losing my mind.
“A new sort of cloning,” My project brief read.
Yes, I thought. Bad.
Let me explain. If you’re like me—American—there was some point in school where you learned the process by which caterpillars turn into butterflies. You ever wonder how?
A caterpillar in a cocoon digests itself. Then cells inside of it called imaginal discs activate, and it uses them to rebuild. Recently some bozo figured out that this process opened up more options to us than stem cells. As I wrote when I was explaining why we needed more money, imagine if there was a room you could walk into, take a nap for a month, and wake up entirely yourself, but jacked. Or smarter. Or cancer-free.
If it worked.
I shuffled into our break-room.
Sam, one of my favorite coworkers, stood up from the armchair she was in. Stretched. A bag of takeout sat next to her.
“Did you figure it out?” She asked.
I rubbed my face. “I am going to kill everyone and everything in a thousand meters of this building slowly and painfully.” I said.
She laughed. “And when was the last time you ate?”
“It’s Wednesday?”
“Thursday.”
“...Monday?”
“Right. Food. Now.” She said. “Then you take a nap.”
“But—”
She pulled out a gyro.
I caved. Immediately.
“So you're making progress.” Sam said, later, not even pretending to question.
“I’m still further off than I should be.” I replied. “You know they keep sending me emails asking for more theoretical applications? Infuriating. I feel stupid.”
“You're not. They’re just testing you.”
I laughed. “I should send, ‘Infinite hell-dimension for torturing chemists.’”
Sam paused for a moment.
“That's an non-useful train of thought.”
I stared.
She sighed. “Well, you can use this next time. It’s got much more practical applications on the military and politic-ing side. Making people believe what you want them too. That sort of thing.”
A dawning horror stirred in my sleep-addled brain.
“I wouldn’t let them do that.” I said, offended.
Sam touched my arm.
“Are you okay?”
“What?”
“No, of course you aren't,” Sam said, exasperated. “Jess, we’re not going to do anything. We already have. You're in it. You're being trained to understand and apply this.”
I sat. Quiet. Tense.
“Oh Good Lord. Relax. Sleep. It's not infinite. You just need a bit more development, then you can wake up.” She smiled gently. "You really are getting closer."
A pain bloomed behind my eyes. I was so, unbearably, tired. Tried to remember what I was doing.
Right.
Batch p-317.
After I sleep.

2023.06.09 03:23 TheRottenKittensIEat I found out that my abuser is more successful than me and I wonder if I'm a terrible person for feeling upset that he's not doing terribly instead.
Trigger warning: physical abuse and SA paired with self-blame I know I shouldn't have.
I have never posted here, so I hope this post is okay. I tried to make sure I understood the rules before posting.
I don't know if this is terrible of me or not. My abuser was my ex high-school boyfriend, who I stupidly stayed with for 3 years. The abuse never felt "that bad" so I stayed. He never left bruises where someone would see them, so I stayed. I was told I "wanted" it, so I stayed. I was love bombed by him (which I just reflected on today), so I felt so in love with him long before the abuse happened (and well, I was a naïve teenager). I was dealing with my extreme lust for him, when I was also dealing with being told lust is a sin by my religious community, so I didn't know what to do with that. When he assaulted me, it felt like my punishment for wanting sex with him. In fact, I think my first sexual experience was sexual assault. He was my first. I was terrified of even seeing his genitals, let alone touching them, but he forced my head down while telling me about the guns he owned. I was too afraid to fight back, so I folded. I didn't really process much of this until I started working at a rape crisis center straight out of my masters degree 10 years ago. Much of it physically hurt quite a lot, but I felt I deserved it (I don't anymore, just for clarification), so I stayed around and tried to "make amends." Hell, sometimes when he knew he physically hurt me, he would ask if I was okay afterwards, and I didn't want to piss him off, so I'd just say yeah. That I "wasn't mad or anything."
Anyway, later in adulthood he eventually got some domestic violence charges that were in his record you could see in his background check, as well as charges for selling weed outside of a school. The charges are gone now. Just... wiped away. I don't understand what happened. Probably because he went into the military? I didn't even think you could join the military with charges like that on your record, but he had a great military career from what I understand. I've since been told I should have reported him to his... military branch? I don't know anything about the military, but he has continued to harass me every now and then. The last time he sent me a threatening message was two years ago. Apparently I "ruined [his] life" because "[he] loved me so much," so I guess he wants to shoot my husband and me for it? I'm Thirty Five now, and broke up with him at the ripe old age of 18. I've reported his threats, and shown the actual texts/DMs to police and they do nothing about it (I have never once responded to any of this shit he sends).
Anyway, I moved back to my home town, and decided to do some research on him because I'm afraid of running into him. I then did a background check (how I knew he no longer had charges in his background check). Until recently, he was doing shitty, and that made me feel good. Hence the part where I feel like I might be a bad person? But if I had any indication that he had grown since his high school years, maybe I could forgive him, but since he's still fucking stalking my social media to gain access to ways to harass me, I'm pretty sure he's still a shit person. He was able to get his masters degree in business, and now he's upper management at a well known company. His blurb about himself on LinkedIn is eloquently written, and the whole thing just pisses me off. I'm an alcoholic with a shitty non-profit job. I wanted to be a scientist, but the stress of learning high maths made me too nervous to continue that path in college.
Anyway, all that to say, I'm extremely upset that he was able to keep improving himself in his career and possibly life happiness, while I still have nightmares about him and hate his guts. I hate that he now has a job that probably makes him bank. I hate that it means women will be more willing to be alone with him, since he's stable. I hate it. I want him to be miserable, and I hate that my desire for his misery makes me feel like a bad person.
Anyway, I've been sipping rum and cokes for a bit tonight, so I hope this is coherent. <3

2023.06.09 03:23 DueLevel4565 How soon is the pill effective?
Hi! I got my iud out a day ago- they said fertility returns immediately. I am now taking Lo Loestrin fe pills (as of right now- insurance may not cover and $500 is expensive). I have read that pills are effective after 7 days, I’ve also heard to wait an entire cycle (4 weeks). Is there a correct answer?

2023.06.09 03:22 icedcoffeeSLP Struggling ND SLP
Hi, y’all! I’m an AuDHDer in West Virginia. I’ve really struggled to “fit in” in multiple settings. I’ve tried inpatient rehab, private practice, and the schools. I have a strong sense of justice and morals. I physically and mentally cannot get myself to do something I feel is unethical.
I seem to get along with patients and family members just fine. I struggle following along with unethical/inefficient directives from administrators.
For example, I left inpatient rehab because I didn’t agree with using treatment approaches from the 1990s. I didn’t try to change what everyone else was doing; I just didn’t use the same approaches as everyone else.
My contract was not renewed in the school setting because I “challenged” the sped director by pointing out when our procedures did not follow state guidelines.
I quit my private practice job because my employer wanted me to work from 9-6 p.m. every day without a break for $25 an hour.
All these situations have caused me to have an unfavorable reputation with employers in my area. I now struggle to even get an interview at local facilities.
I feel like these situations have prevented me from really helping clients/patients. I guess I was wasn’t prepared for so much social rejection from doing the right thing.
Any advice? I feel like I have to go back to school for something else. I love helping my clients- I just hate all the hoops I have to jump through to give them what they need/deserve. I also understand that I may need to work on some things related to my personality.
Thanks for your input!

2023.06.09 03:22 No_Nectarine_743 Can I survive NYU/NYC by teaching English part-time as a full-time student?
I will be starting my second master's degree in international education (focusing on studies abroad) this fall at NYU (my BA is in International Studies & my 1st MA is in Anthropology). I got a pretty good scholarship if I go full-time, and when searching for part-time jobs, I usually see a variety of office management jobs alongside at least 2-5 ESL/TEFL jobs posted, so I figured I should get a TEFL certification (all the job postings mention this requirement & I absolutely cannot afford the CERTA) to teach part-time while going to school, which seems like a complementary gig to my degree program. I am also applying for various other campus opportunities that come with stipends. Although I do have a background in office management and administration, in college I was a writing tutor (and gained some formal ESL-tutoring experience in the process) and peer academic advisor and enjoyed that work very much.
Now, on the other hand, my initial plan was to do school part-time and find a full-time job in NYC, but since my family hasn't relocated to the NYC metro area, yet, all the FT jobs I applied to turned me down (presumably for local candidates). Recently, I happened upon my dream job (for this stage of my career and my current skill set), which is a FT position in the study abroad field at NYU and I am planning to apply to it. If I get my dream job, I am going to take it, and I will switch back to PT school (I got a PT scholarship, as well, so that option comes with some funding).
I've been doing research on TEFL cert programs and had decided on the TEFL Hero given the modest price tag, but I wanted to look into reviews for the program before committing. As I look through reviews, I'm seeing lots of mentions of folks having missed the boat for online ESL teaching within the context of opportunities having largely dried up from China as the primary job market. I would be open to teaching in-person if those opportunities are more abundant, but I am curious if the jobs offered/companies offering these jobs are legitimate. I do not want to invest money and time into this endeavor if I will not get a job that helps with my family's expenses (we also have a toddler) while we're living in the NYC metro-area for at least the next year, but possibly up to 3 years.
For added context, my spouse is planning to work FT and go to grad school PT. I am also aware of various opportunities that would help us subsidize childcare, so there may be relief there.
TLDR; If I am not offered my FT dream job and have to stick with attending NYU FT/working PT, can I meaningfully contribute to my family's living expenses by teaching English PT with a TEFL cert or should I move on and look for other PT job opportunities that pay more?

2023.06.09 03:21 bwunnywuv TW: considering "detransitioning" after 8 years of being happy with who i am just because trying to be accepted as a trans person is so hard and i just want to give up.
i'm in such a miserable mental state. i always had dysphoria, i hated being called a girl, hated being called my deadname, hated being called she/her, being called ma'am and all that shit. starting testosterone was one of the best days of my life, my five year anniversary was on the 1st. my top surgery was SUCH an incredibly euphoric change. i loved being who i am now. what changed? i've been on T for five years. i still get misgendered by strangers until i speak, "i'm so sorry you just have such feminine features", had a stranger tell me how "beautiful and feminine" my voice was?? and my voice is not that high, its not very deep either but i never thought it was high enough for anyone to think i'm a woman. it never bothered me enough for me to start deeply thinking about how miserable i STILL am trying to pass as male after everything and it fucking sucks ass and it is not fair. i'm not even really short either for anyone to think i'm a woman because of that, i'm 5'7, which is an average height for men with my ethnicity. what REALLY really struck me, was two days ago when i had a major conflict with my (ex) best friend (whom i also had romantic relations with for months & learned he basically manipulated me the entire time, but that's a different story) and he basically ended up telling me that i don't look masc or like a guy. this was someone who i trusted with my entire life and had a deep emotional connection and bond with that i had never felt or thought was possible. it's so fucking stupid but that really really hit me HARD. and its so so painful. i am never going to be able to live normally as a guy. it's not like i'm going to be happy at all living as a woman, but what's the point in putting in SO MUCH EFFORT trying to be happy just to end up feeling so alienated and unaccepted. i am NEVER going to be seen as a man. and ever since he said that, it's like i see every single flaw i had never noticed before and he's right, i do not pass as cis. i thought i looked like a man before but now i'm just so lost. i suddenly notice everything that i was so miserable and hated so much before i started medically transitioning and i feel so lost snd so miserable and i have not felt this horrible since the night i realized i was trans. i feel like i can just never be happy regardless of wether or not istay on T and keep trying to dress masc and appear as a man and i feel like there is just no point in this or in anything and if im going to hate myself and hate living then why should i keep going on with something that others are never going to accept or see me as? i am SO lost and so broken. i've been in intensive therapy for 5 months after a suicide attempt and i've been doing so much better lately but now it's like all of the progress i've been has been reversed and i've just regressed back 9 years and i feel like it would've just been better if i did not make it out alive in january. i hate hate hate living like this and i am never going to be happy or get what i want or need to be happy, i am so miserable. i do not know what to do with myself i dont even have my best friend or anyone to run to for support or comfort or understanding anymore. i feel so alone

2023.06.09 03:21 HulkBuster456 Pac-Man Rally Lost Characters (Mobile game) [Partially Lost]
So, today I remembered a mobile game I had played a while back, Pac-Man Rally. I found the game on an APK downloading website because the game was retired a while back. So I play through all 4 of the cups, all of the challenges in challenge mode, and many other modes. But I could only get Pacman, Dig Dug, The Prince from Katamari Damacy, a character who looks like a pink dig dug, and Blinky. When I try to chose any other characters, who are clearly locked considering there icons are grayed out on the character select screen. I am then told to purchase the characters The problem is... since the game is not available on any app stores anymore, the characters locked are completely unavailable. The characters unavailable are: someone from Katamari Damacy, the Galaga ship, inky, pinky, and Clyde. I would love to be able to play as these characters but at the moment they are not unlockable. I would certainly appreciate if anyone knew of a way to unlock or mod the game to get these characters. Right now, the locked characters are lost media.

2023.06.09 03:21 poems_archive61 A lamp post
The lamp post stands in quiet repose
Motionless, its sole duty, to illuminate the path for others
Unable to move forward or move back
Left with a solitary choiceLight or darkness
As time elapses, something goes wrong
The lamp post fades to darkness
People and hours pass, oblivious they roam
Unaware of its presence, assuming it’s gone.
Useless.
So, one wonders… when will they inspect?
Perhaps the bulb is broken… the switch faulty
A trivial matter, easily put to right
Yet no one gives it the time of day
While it sits in its darkness wondering who to blame.
All those thoughts, all alone.
The lamp post contemplates
Comes to realize that maybe it is the problem
It tries desperately to fix itself
Only to realize it can’t.
There was a lamp post.
Once, it guided through the night
Offered solace, protection… unwavering sight.
Now, it wonders
When will the mechanic come?

2023.06.09 03:20 I_HaveSeenTheLight Just got my General so now I'm looking for an HF radio.
My club has a Fusion repeater so I was going to get a FTM300Dr before I got my general. Now I'm looking at the Icom 705, 7300, and the Yaesu 991A.
I am really liking the 7300 with its' 100W power output plus I can get it for $1,000 now with rebates. I'm not liking its' size though for portability.
The 705 looks good due to its small size and portability to do POTA, but I'm not thrilled with its low power output. I do want to try QRP at some point, I just don't know if I want to go QRP right now. If I went with Icom, I would be getting the 300DR to fulfill that Fusion itch.
The 991A would fulfill that Fusion itch, get me on HF, and it's easily portable, but again it's QRP and I don't know about using a multi band radio. I'm thinking it might be better to have a radio for dual band and a separate one for HF, it's probably more personal preference. .
I am using the power supply I use for my rc plane battery charger to power my dual band mobile radio currently. It is 13.8V and 23 amps. I will continue to use it for now, but ultimately want to use a LIFE battery to power the HF radio.
What would you recommend?

The 991A would fulfill that Fusion itch, get me on HF, and it's easily portable, but again it's QRP and I don't know about using a multi band radio. I'm thinking it might be better to have a radio for dual band and a separate one for HF, it's probably more personal preference. .
I am using the power supply I use for my rc plane battery charger to power my dual band mobile radio currently. It is 13.8V and 23 amps. I will continue to use it for now, but ultimately want to use a LIFE battery to power the HF radio.
What would you recommend?
2023.06.09 03:20 gumptiousguillotine I think my partner and I are about to break up and frankly, I’m not doing great.
I really need some support from fellow lesbians right now.
My partner lost their job in the middle of last month and told me they needed a few days to process, and it’s been about a month of barely talking to or seeing them. I’ve also been going through it with changing jobs, not making enough money, and feeling alone bc everyone is busy with their own stuff. Their self-love language is personal space, and mine is relying on others to rant. This is not compatible.
I’ve tried reaching out to them emotionally and otherwise, but they don’t want my help; however, they want their friends help, which kinda hurts. I offered to do chores for them, to help them with applications that they’re struggling with, to talk about things, to just be in the room with them while they do whatever; they don’t want that. And that’s fine.
But I need support too. I don’t understand this kind of relationship where neither of us are supporting or helping one another. What’s the point? Why be in a relationship when you can’t feel supported or loved by the other? I’ve been struggling for months on end and honestly they weren’t really there for me, and I’m trying to be there for them now that they’re struggling and like. Ugh. I guess this is indicative of how they feel about me. And it hurts.
This is my first lesbian relationship, but it isn’t the first where I cared about my partner more than they care about me. It hurts so much. Everyone says that your first lesbian break up will be hell but holy shit, I feel like the whole world reminds me of them and it sucks so fucking bad. I feel like everything is falling apart. I’m old enough to know I won’t feel like this forever and it’s not the end of the world but it still feels like it.
Fuck you, T.

2023.06.09 03:20 Fawxer Facing my bank here, what type of attorney do I need and what's the best option for me to find the right one?
My bank has frozen my account without any notice or warning at a pretty terrible time. It's been over a week now and they have not contacted me. I've called the support line multiple times but they tell me they can't get me in touch with the department that froze my account and that I need to wait until they contact me (all 3 times). As of right now, the most I know about why it's happening is because my manager at work told me about it yesterday. The fraud department froze my account over an issue that had been resolved several weeks prior through customer support and my employer. They called my manager about this two days ago, and told him about this (they knew, this was an old issue) and actually suggested that they fire me. They have yet to contact ME about anything.
I'll try to summarize the situation that lead up to where I'm at, feel free to ask questions about any details. It might be long, but I really will try to summarize without leaving key details
The issue is over duplicate deposits on checks deposited via mobile. Earlier this year my employer came to me saying he noticed duplicate deposits on my checks. Confused and understanding that such a thing wouldn't be even possible, I check my bank history and searched for the check $ amounts that he mentioned and saw only one deposit for each. So I contacted support. I told him about what my employer said, gave details about the checks etc and asked him to search the history of my account for said duplicates. He immediately said if it was the same checks and both done via mobile then it simply wont work. This was my understanding. Regardless, he searched the entire history of my account for duplicates and reported back to me saying there were none. I reported this to my employer and showed him the screenshots of this conversation with the bank rep. He effectively said "ok no problem banks are silly we'll figure it out thanks" and I moved on entirely. MONTHS later I notice on my banking profile a withdrawal was made one morning, and it was labeled as a duplicate in the memo and matched the amount of one of the checks in question. Shocked and scared I immediately open up the support line again and ask what is happening, obviously confused as this had been cleared up already. A new rep comes in and basically explains that the previous rep was wrong, and that there WERE duplicate deposits. I said I still don't see them, and he told me to download the "eStatements" PDF. Something I've never done before, as the banking profile seemed to suffice. I downloaded the PDF, and searched for the amounts and sure enough saw them.
As for why any deposit "attempts" would even be made on an old check in the first place, there are several factors. A big one is that I was never at any point under any impression that it was ever possible to do such a thing. Didn't even consider it possible at any moment in time (and neither did the first rep I spoke to, so I'm definitely not too crazy for this one). To me thinking about it now, it's like believing I'd be able to use a gift card twice because I photo copied it or something. Digital footprints and IDs etc etc.. anyways I digress. When receiving my checks at work, I will usually attempt to deposit them right away via mobile. Throughout the years, there have been some instances where the check is finicky (handwritten) and simply wont deposit with the camera deposit app. Sometimes it takes 8 tries, sometimes 12, sometimes I give up after a few and set it aside to take home where I can control the lighting situation better and often get it to work. The problem is a few times I have misplaced these checks which are now signed. I keep my checks and stubs because my apartment requires me to, and it was also suggested to me as good practice so I file them away safely. I can remember one specific example where I had 2 checks set aside on my desk that were being fussy, and my girlfriend, while cleaning, filed them away with the rest not understanding that they weren't deposited (ZERO blame on her here btw just to be clear lol..). This prompted an investigation to find which ones were undeposited, so I used my banking profile "transaction amount" search function to see. I went through the checks, search for a deposit in that amount, then I put it away. Repeat until I found ones that didn't come up in search. Now we find out over the course of THREE YEARS there were a total of around 5-6 checks that were "duplicate deposited" through the storm of my ADHD and poor organizational skills. Currently, after this whole ordeal, I'm aware of the fact that simply "VOIDING" a successfully deposited check with the date and proper markings is one good way to avoid this completely. I'm sure the idea would have came had I any idea this could all be possible. But at the time a signed check, to me, meant it was dealt with. Queue camera app failing.. etc etc...hopefully it at least makes sense despite being a bit stupid in hindsight..
Anyways, back to current time. Resuming where we were with the new bank rep. After seeing the duplicates did exist in statements but not my banking profile, I explained everything to the rep who, for the record, was very understanding and on my side of things. I confirmed a few important things with them. It is not only possible but a KNOWN ISSUE that the banking profile (where you login to check your balance, transaction history, etc) can have "missing or inaccurate information", and that the best way to know for SURE about a transaction or your balance you must check your eStatements, as they are connected "directly to the server" and therefor provide liable information. Anything in quotes is direct wording but I want to be clear everything else is near verbatim and I have the whole convo saved despite being locked out of the account that can view it. At this point all was relatively well. Neither the BECU reps nor my employer believed I had any malicious intent, and the ghost money was being removed from my account. I even got them to confirm in their words that how this happened made sense specifically due to the fact that the banking profile can have missing transactions. As a cherry on top, when I expressed concern about them all coming out at once resulting potentially in negative balance and overdraft fees, the manager rep told me that in this situation they would "have my back" if it came to overdraft fees. I'm finding out now it's a totally separate department came in WEEKS later independently of all this and decided to pursue it as criminal fraud and close my account without telling me a single thing.
What I need help with here is getting my money back out of the frozen account. My current understanding is that they do have the power to freeze my account under suspicion, but they will then need to essentially answer for the consequences (late fees etc and possibly even the several panic attacks, loss of sleep, and massive weightloss this whole thing has actually caused as well) if it turns out there is no criminal fraud. They still have the right to end services with me, but seizing completely unrelated money from me is not justified (again this is my current understanding, potentially all wrong). If I can't talk to anyone what are my steps to take for getting my money back? The support line I have access to tells me it's in the other departments hands and has failed to connect me to them over 3 attempts and multiple hours of being on hold. To be clear, the money related to this incident was already extracted from the account WEEKS before the freeze. What I'm after first and foremost is access to my own completely unrelated money to pay my bills asap. After that, I'll admit I would be interested in seeing what more I can do because the damage done does not stop at late fees. They called my manager for intimidation and actually suggested they fire me.... Pure luck that I'm actually close with my manager... Also, I'm actually a bit embarrassed to admit it but this HAS caused genuine mental and physical issues for me.
From the limited research I've done myself, and the several professionals I've spoke to for just advice, I understand that I do indeed need an attorney regardless of the scenario here. So what I really need help with is....how? I don't have the first idea on what to do here. I'm also nervous about money, as attorneys aren't free and I would not want to be trying to lowball an honest and important job.
Currently almost 2 weeks into the frozen account and not a single word given to me. Please help. I'm legitimately traumatized. I struggle with some pretty severe anxiety which makes things hard for me in general, but this has been pretty extreme for me. So I believe I want an attorney even if it's simply to have someone speak for me.

2023.06.09 03:20 Jayn_Newell Chapter 11: Respite (Cliff)
Cliff and Neya lounged by the rocky river bank. While Riverrock was a fairly small village by Human standards, it was still more civilization than Cliff cared for. Here was true peace for him—just the plants, the running water, and the head of his closest companion resting on his leg.
“I can tell. My senses aren’t that much worse than yours.” With the slime node gone the local energies were a lot easier to read. He could clearly sense where the temple was, a cold, twisting sensation that made him feel sick to his stomach if he focused on it for too long. “Do you have any idea what’d going on up there?”
She raised her head to look at him.
Cliff scratched behind her ear and she rested her head again. “Sorry, just thought I’d ask. Would be nice to have some idea what we’re going to be walking into tomorrow. But if you don’t know then you don’t know and we’ll find out together.” His tone was light but Cliff was frowning. A temple should be a safe haven, somewhere people could go to escape the harsh realities of their life, mundane or otherwise. That this one had become something to be protected from…it was a perversion.
“There you are, Cliff.” The Were turned to see Vastryd approaching. “The celebration feast will be ready soon. Are you planning to join us? You are two of the guests of honor.”
“In a bit. I wanted to enjoy the scenery for a little longer.”
“I understand, I suppose.” She stood next to them, arms crossed. “You’re not much of a people person, are you?”
“I like people fine. It’s civilization I have a problem with. Everything is so fake, so artificial. It feels wrong to me.”
“I see.”
Cliff looked up at her. “Is something on your mind?”
“Just that we’re something of an odd bunch, aren’t we? A paladin or order, a temperamental mage, a light-fingered Elfling and an anti-social beast man.”
Cliff glared at her.
After a moment of silence she turned towards the lounging pair. “I’m guessing you don’t like being called a ‘beast man’.”
“I’m mostly bothered by the type of person who would call me that.”
“My apologies. I was trying to highlight how different we all are. I’m a little surprised our excursion this morning went as well as it did.”
“I did expect a bit more fire,” the shaman admitted, “but it was just a slime lair. Besides, sometimes it’s the differences between people that make a good team. People can cover each other’s weak points. And different personalities balance each other out.”
“I’ve always found different personalities tend to clash. It’s hard to work with someone who has a different way of doing things.” She stared across the river with a frown.
Cliff chuckled. Maybe he wasn’t the anti-social one here. “That happens too, especially when you can’t see the value of someone else’s methods. I’m just saying that just because it seems like people shouldn’t be able to work well together, doesn’t mean they can’t. It comes down to respect and trust.”
“Respect and trust, you say?” She gave a heavy sigh. “I suppose that’s why I’m relieved Merryn won’t be joining us at the temple. She inspires little of either.”
He seized on the conversational opening. “I wanted to ask you about that. What do you know about this temple anyways?”
“Not nearly enough. The followers of Nax tend to keep to themselves, more than most. I’ve always assumed that they at least held to the same pact any other temple does, to protect and serve as best they can, but after talking to the village elder it seems I may have been wrong to assume so. They have had little to do with the people in this area for a long time.”
Cliff sat in silence for a moment. “Neya and I were just talking about that. Whatever is going on is very big and very bad. That it may not be new is very alarming to hear.”
“You can tell from here?”
“Being attuned to the spirits helps you to also be attuned to the natural energies of the world, and vice versa. It’s easy for us to know when they get twisted in unnatural ways, and they are very twisted right now.”
“And you’re sure it’s coming from the temple?”
“Is the temple northeast of here?”
“Yes.”
“Pretty sure then. We could be wrong, but I somehow doubt it.”
Another sigh from Vastryd. “We’ll need to make sure we’re well prepared before heading up there then. I find myself wishing I knew more about the place. Most religious groups tend to be more outgoing, but a few are insular like the followers of Nax so I never worried about it. Maybe I should have.”
Cliff stood up and rested his hand on her shoulder. “You can’t expect to know everything. There was no reason for you to suspect a problem before now. Maybe there still isn’t, we don’t know yet.”
“I guess you’re right It just bothers me to think that another temple might be the source of a problem.” She looked up at her companion. “Thank you. Maybe you have a point about different personalities.”
“Well I wouldn’t have said it if I thought I didn’t. Come on, let’s see if they’re ready yet. Something smells delicious.”

“Pretty sure then. We could be wrong, but I somehow doubt it.”
Another sigh from Vastryd. “We’ll need to make sure we’re well prepared before heading up there then. I find myself wishing I knew more about the place. Most religious groups tend to be more outgoing, but a few are insular like the followers of Nax so I never worried about it. Maybe I should have.”
Cliff stood up and rested his hand on her shoulder. “You can’t expect to know everything. There was no reason for you to suspect a problem before now. Maybe there still isn’t, we don’t know yet.”
“I guess you’re right It just bothers me to think that another temple might be the source of a problem.” She looked up at her companion. “Thank you. Maybe you have a point about different personalities.”
“Well I wouldn’t have said it if I thought I didn’t. Come on, let’s see if they’re ready yet. Something smells delicious.”

2023.06.09 03:20 Commercial_Stuff_654 anyone else feeling an empty, sinking feeling as graduation approaches?
I graduate in 5 days. I don't know why but I feel empty. I'm set to walk and recieve my diploma and my cap and gown and everything's set. I'm going to a community college (fully paid with grants) and I'm looking for summer gigs. I never really made many friends in high school, I ended up with 3/4 close friends and a few chill acquaintances. so it's not as if I'm leaving anyone.
I think it's just the fact that it's over? the fact that I'm never going to be doing certain things like phys ed ever again, will never be forced to run the mile or do shit like that again. of course in community college there's still desks and classmates and note-taking, exams, projects, etc. but the people are different. today I still see kids I knew from 13 years ago (they may not remember me, but I remember them well). I don't know. I should be happy or even sad regarding graduation but I just feel an emptiness... like existential. maybe it'll all be fixed on graduation day and the tears will start flowing. but that day just seems so ominous to me right now. can't shake the feeling.
I also had senioritis for the past 5 months. what's up with this?? freshman year covid happened and sophomore year I was still in quarantine. junior year was normal and fun. then senior year rolls around and this happens. weird start to the next era of my life....

2023.06.09 03:19 depressanon7 Friends...?
At this point, I don't know if I want to be your friend or your lover. It is honestly quite confusing. I know it is your presence I miss, far more than I crave your body.
Whatever it is, it is genuine, just so you know. I mean it when I offer my meagre help, and when I wish you success, and happiness, and my smile is real when I run into you. I'm always glad to see you. I'm glad when you text me - I wish you'd do it more often.
Whatever it is, I know my loud mouth has ruined it. Small town girls should know better than to wear their hearts on their sleeve like this, and I'm sure news have reached you by now.
No matter, eh? We were always more acquaintances than friends, I think, no matter how much I wish it were otherwise, one way or the other. I'll stop bothering you, I promise. Live your life, I hope you'll be happy, and I say this with no irony or bitterness.
And yes, I know this is pathetic. I only hope you'll never know who this is, that you will never happen upon this. If you do, you might realise at last how much of a mess the inside of my head is, how out of proportion I've blown our modest relationship. 'Delusional' is not an ill fit for me.
I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry, I wish I was not like this. I wish I did not keep making such a fool of myself.
For now, you have your life, entirely separate from mine. And I have the doubts that keep me up at night, and a few badly written, disjointed letters posted on Reddit, where I hope you will never find them, and the knowledge that, should you ever call on me for help or support I will be there (but you have better people for that).
I'll get over it. Believe me, I'm actually trying.
Until then, see you around.

Cliff and Neya lounged by the rocky river bank. While Riverrock was a fairly small village by Human standards, it was still more civilization than Cliff cared for. Here was true peace for him—just the plants, the running water, and the head of his closest companion resting on his leg.
“I can tell. My senses aren’t that much worse than yours.” With the slime node gone the local energies were a lot easier to read. He could clearly sense where the temple was, a cold, twisting sensation that made him feel sick to his stomach if he focused on it for too long. “Do you have any idea what’d going on up there?”
She raised her head to look at him.
Cliff scratched behind her ear and she rested her head again. “Sorry, just thought I’d ask. Would be nice to have some idea what we’re going to be walking into tomorrow. But if you don’t know then you don’t know and we’ll find out together.” His tone was light but Cliff was frowning. A temple should be a safe haven, somewhere people could go to escape the harsh realities of their life, mundane or otherwise. That this one had become something to be protected from…it was a perversion.
“There you are, Cliff.” The Were turned to see Vastryd approaching. “The celebration feast will be ready soon. Are you planning to join us? You are two of the guests of honor.”
“In a bit. I wanted to enjoy the scenery for a little longer.”
“I understand, I suppose.” She stood next to them, arms crossed. “You’re not much of a people person, are you?”
“I like people fine. It’s civilization I have a problem with. Everything is so fake, so artificial. It feels wrong to me.”
“I see.”
Cliff looked up at her. “Is something on your mind?”
“Just that we’re something of an odd bunch, aren’t we? A paladin or order, a temperamental mage, a light-fingered Elfling and an anti-social beast man.”
Cliff glared at her.
After a moment of silence she turned towards the lounging pair. “I’m guessing you don’t like being called a ‘beast man’.”
“I’m mostly bothered by the type of person who would call me that.”
“My apologies. I was trying to highlight how different we all are. I’m a little surprised our excursion this morning went as well as it did.”
“I did expect a bit more fire,” the shaman admitted, “but it was just a slime lair. Besides, sometimes it’s the differences between people that make a good team. People can cover each other’s weak points. And different personalities balance each other out.”
“I’ve always found different personalities tend to clash. It’s hard to work with someone who has a different way of doing things.” She stared across the river with a frown.
Cliff chuckled. Maybe he wasn’t the anti-social one here. “That happens too, especially when you can’t see the value of someone else’s methods. I’m just saying that just because it seems like people shouldn’t be able to work well together, doesn’t mean they can’t. It comes down to respect and trust.”
“Respect and trust, you say?” She gave a heavy sigh. “I suppose that’s why I’m relieved Merryn won’t be joining us at the temple. She inspires little of either.”
He seized on the conversational opening. “I wanted to ask you about that. What do you know about this temple anyways?”
“Not nearly enough. The followers of Nax tend to keep to themselves, more than most. I’ve always assumed that they at least held to the same pact any other temple does, to protect and serve as best they can, but after talking to the village elder it seems I may have been wrong to assume so. They have had little to do with the people in this area for a long time.”
Cliff sat in silence for a moment. “Neya and I were just talking about that. Whatever is going on is very big and very bad. That it may not be new is very alarming to hear.”
“You can tell from here?”
“Being attuned to the spirits helps you to also be attuned to the natural energies of the world, and vice versa. It’s easy for us to know when they get twisted in unnatural ways, and they are very twisted right now.”
“And you’re sure it’s coming from the temple?”
“Is the temple northeast of here?”
“Yes.”
“Pretty sure then. We could be wrong, but I somehow doubt it.”
Another sigh from Vastryd. “We’ll need to make sure we’re well prepared before heading up there then. I find myself wishing I knew more about the place. Most religious groups tend to be more outgoing, but a few are insular like the followers of Nax so I never worried about it. Maybe I should have.”

2023.06.09 03:19 Daneel_ Should we go dark to protest Reddit's planned API changes?
Hi everyone,
We'd like to ask for the community's opinion on the "go dark" protest regarding Reddit's planned API changes scheduled for the 12th of June. More information on the background and planned action is available here.
As a lot of you have heard, there's a growing protest on reddit right now due to some changes to the API that will actively price third party apps out of existence. This is going to have a profound effect on how people use reddit on mobile, moderate reddit, and specifically cause severe problems for people living with impaired sight.
As any action we do or do not take represents the entire community, we have decided to ask you, our community, what you would like us to do. Our understanding of "going dark" means making the sub "private", which means virtually nobody will be able to access Splunk for the 48 hours of the protest, or potentially even longer.
Let us know what you think we should do:
Should we go dark just for the period of the protest, dark indefinitely (until action is taken by reddit), or not take any action?

2023.06.09 03:18 SidNitzerglobin Strix G733ZW HDMI audio output keeps dropping, returns on Mute then Unmute
Been having the odd occurrence of all HDMI audio output disappearing on my Strix G733ZW maybe once in every 12-18 hours of use for several months but in the last few days it's happening just about every other song playing back 16 bit .wavs using Plex client & local server while running moderate loads usually comprised of a 12 year old MMO or Photoshop. The speakeoutput device isn't being muted in Windows, playback isn't stopping from the apps, I'm not losing connectivity to the AVR it's plugged into, & so far on every occurrence I can restore sound output by muting then unmuting via the media button on my external keyboard. I haven't encountered an issue like this w/ any of the other few machines I've had plugged into this AVR using the same cable while running the same apps so I feel fairly confident the issue is somewhere within the laptop/OS/drivers.
OS: Windows 11 Pro, 22H2, 1000.22641.1000.0 Display: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU, 31.0.15.3179 (from Nvidia w/ initial install & subsequent updates done as clean) Audio: LG TV SSCR2 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio), 1.3.40.14 (English) (got full dxdiag if that would be helpful)
I can't really corelate either the initial slight nuisance frequency of this occurring or the more recent deal breaking rate of occurrence w/ any manual driver update to the NVIDIA drivers or other application installs, but some combo of Armoury Crate & Windows Update seemed to have started deciding to stealth update drivers & BIOS(?!) & enable stupid AC features w/ no prompts around the same time.
As far as connectivity I've got the HDMI output of the laptop running via HDMI 2.0 into a Yamaha RX-A4A AVR connected to an LG 48CX. Keyboard & mouse are attached to a Razer Thunderbolt 4 dock which is in turn attached to the right most USB-C/"Thunderbolt" port of the laptop. Network is Cat6e plugged into the RJ-45 port on the laptop.
Probably a bit complex/specific of a setup, but posting on the off chance someone has run into something similar & managed to find a solution. So far I've failed to find anything promising via googling. One of the highlights of my experience w/ this laptop initially was how smooth it seemed to take to being plugged straight into my AVR via HDMI right out of the box in comparison to my "main" gaming PC & I'll be pretty bummed if I can't get this fixed.
Thanks for reading & any suggestion you may have!
