2023.05.30 12:10 Special-Engine-6839 I (26f) am unsure if I'll ever want kids. Is it worth ending a relationship?
I (26f) made the unfortunate mistake of entering into a relationship without tackling the hard topic with my partner (26m): do you want kids?
For context, I am an only child who grew up isolated from her extended family. I was never around little kids nor did I have to be responsible for any younger siblings/cousins growing up. I don't think I've even held a baby before. I was not socialized to have a love for children and I don't think I have any sort of maternal instinct. This paired with me being single for most of my adult life has made it hard for me to ever picture a future with a husband and kids.
Instinctually, I would say my answer to the question is no. I don't feel like I have an affinity for children nor do I have any desire to be pregnant. It's mainly the pregnancy part that gets me. Could I ever see myself with a child? Maybe, but the idea of having to suffer through pregnancy is the main reason why I can never picture that future. I also don't feel like I've had enough experiences with kids up until this point to have have a firm stance.
My boyfriend, however, is a hard yes. I feel like most men's instinctual answer to the kids question is "yes," because they haven't had to think much about it and the toll it'll take on their body. I gave him a month to reflect on his answer, because I really wanted him to think about WHY he wanted children and what steps he would take to make sure he was mentally and financially ready to be a father in the future. Personally, I don't think he actually wants kids based on his opinion of pets being a burden and never being interested in/interacting with children we see in public. He unfortunately came back to me after our one month still with a yes, because while he may be fine with being child-less initially, he may regret it later on in his life.
Rationally, I know the answer is to end the relationship while the relationship is still under a year, but I have the emotional attachment that you out there do not. I've spent the past 7 years going on dozens on first dates, being stuck in situationships, and thinking that I must be the problem because I couldn't land a relationship while everyone around me was cycling in and out of partners. I don't want to stay with him out of desperation, but out of fear that he is my person and I'll never find someone like him again. While this may be my first big relationship, I've spent the past 7 years experimenting with many people, so I'm not saying this out of naivety. This man checks every box on my list and doesn't have any red flags that I've chosen to ignore. He is my unicorn.
At the end of the day, I'm only 26 and am starting to wonder if I could be swayed in the future. Every time I go out to eat I stare at the families with toddlers around me. I've read responses from women who never wanted kids until they met the right partner later in life and I feel like he could be that one for me. Part of me wants to keep this relationship going despite the blaring incompatibility because my life has been bliss with him, but I also fear us maturing to a marriage mark, still not agreeing, and me having to restart my life at 31 while everyone around me is beginning their parenting journey. It's overwhelming trying to make this choice now when I don't know what I'm going to want 10 years from now, but I feel like it'll be my fault if I don't end up changing my mind later on down the line.
Since I lacked this socialization growing up, is there a way for me to figure out for sure if I do or don't want kids? Maybe I'd actually like kids if I was in an environment with them. Did any of you not want kids until you met someone who changed your mind?
TLDR: I am unsure about if I'd ever want kids but am leaning towards no, but my partner is a hard yes. Does this warrant a breakup?

Hello, hope you are having a great day, I am Sal 41 Male who work in 3D art and game dev, despite my age and work, I am just another lonely guy who is looking for companionship, I have been spending a lot of time on my computer working and having fun, so I started getting worried that I am in a relationship with this computer haha. I am kinda silly and quirky most of the time trying to make jokes that don't always land haha, so I hope you don't mind that, but I can talk about serious topics as well and be supportive and kind. I have always been found of having someone online that to share my day with and talk about our problems daily lives and share our happy moments, so I had a lot of online friendships some lasts days .. months.. Or 20 years haha, yeah I am talking about you Allison. About my hobbies and interests, usually nerdy stuff like coding, 3D art, making animation, watching anime, used to play a lot of games but not much anymore. Plus some walking outside, I live in a beautiful small city called Istanbul that has nice places to walk near the sea and make friendship with lots of cats on the street. I know that I may not click with many people, it is a matter of chemistry and energy, I don't often click with the people who just keep using short answers in their chat and never ask anything and keep making me carry the conversation alone, I have pet peeve with very short replies and just emojis without words hahaha. So dm me anyway you have nothing to lose, I could be your new best friend. And please say “Hiiiiii” so I would know that you had read my post to the end the more “i”s the better haha, and please tell me about yourself a bit, let's hope you have a discord, so please respect that and have a great day.

2023.05.30 12:09 waitItsQuestionTime What cab i eat with high ldl?
Hey all! Here are my readings from last month - i am 26 m , weighting 73kg and 180cm, with no background problems. Cholesterol 229 Hdl 51, non hdl 178, ldl 165, triglycedrys 69 Also alt(gpt) (liver?) - 70.
I also got positive in HPylori bacteria and one week after treatment with 3 antibiotics against it. The doctor prescribed me medicine to reduce hdl - Lipitor, which i haven’t started to take and really dont want to.
I am very skinny, not doing a lot of workouts but occasionally running, never smoked, drinking moderately once a month. I never been in a diet so i guess i was eating bad. I have a meeting with a nutritious in two months. I am pretty scared on what i can eat and what not.
Are avocados, thini, tuna - are ok? They have saturated fat. I cut down all eggs, fat cheeses, sausages and a lot of sugar as ice cream, snacks etc. but i dont want to keep losing weights. Is peanut butter ok? Half avocado a day? White rice? Tofu? Olive oil?

2023.05.30 12:08 jfjhayw Should I (28M) confess my feelings to her (25F) or not?
Me 28(m) started going out with this girl 25(f) last January.
At first everything was going smoothly. We would both initiate dates/texts/calls etc. so the effort was 50/50
At around the 1 - 1.5 month mark she stopped asking me out or texting me first but would still reply to my texts and go out with me and sleep together.
I started noticing that but because we had such great chemistry in many things (sex included) i didnt pull back. Instead i chased her more. My mistake, i know. (Effort now like 80/20)
This would go on for another 2 months. But I wasn’t happy. I felt I was the one putting all the effort.
At around the 4 months mark she told me that she wants to end what we ‘had’ as we didn’t want the same things. With that she meant i was pushing for a relationship while she didn’t want one.
I never told her that i am in love with her and that i want a relationship with her, but most likely my aura and behavior when with her showed that.
When she decided to end it, I didn’t try to change her mind at all. Instead i told her thank you for your honesty , I will respect your decision and never contact you again.
And so I did. I tried to forget her, I went out and slept with a new girl couple of times, but i still knew i was still in love with her.
After 1 month after she ended it, she contacted me again. I knew I shouldn’t have agreed to see her but I couldn’t help myself. We spent one night together and then I left.
The first few days after that she would send me daily messages ask how i am and ask to meet. And I agreed. But after 2 weeks she started doing the same thing again. Pulling back and then me being emotionally bad for trying again with her.
My question is, the following. Should i confess my feelings to her and tell her i am in love with her and ask her for a clear answer for what she wants from me?
Or try to also play the hot cold manipulation game that she is playing for all this time?
Or just block her number / socials and try to move on?
Thanks a lot

2023.05.30 12:08 miss_ophonia My asexuality almost ended my marriage.
Hi. I'm very new here, so forgive me if I navigate into murky waters or cause a wake in a no wake zone. I think I'm gray ace, pretty sure, but I'm still in uncharted territory, and I'm learning every day. This will be a long post, I just want to offer my own evolving journey.
I've been in the only relationship I've ever had since we were 19 for 35 years now. I was a virgin and very pretty, so he was attracted to me. I found him cute, but I didn't really have a type. I spent a quarter of a century fighting my asexuality because I thought it was my defect to fix, and i new nothing about being asexual or even what it was--and I suffered emotionally, physically, and mentally because of it (so did my husband). He was a very sexual being, even made me swear to God to never take or withhold sex from him. He needed it and couldn't be without it.
So I did my duty but never sought it out. I faked it for him. I was never adventurous in the bedroom. I even had a kid, which I've always wanted, and he is our light and joy, a wonderful person we are both proud of. Still, there was always tension because he always wanted more (how many fights did we have about what was a normal amount--he insisted 3 times a day), and of course I didn't need that at all.
For 25 years, I did my best to appease that, going to my happy place during those moments and yes--I did have very normal physical reactions to the act some of the time. I preferred it when I did because I didn't feel like was lying to him about my real (non)feelings about sex.
Then I got breast cancer in my late 30's. It was caught very early, but still--I had 6 surgeries in total, including a hysterectomy. What surviving cancer did to me, my body and mind, and my marriage nearly ended all the above. I got heavier and if I didn't fancy sex before, I sure didn't after that. Both of us became resentful of the other over sex. I was becoming less tolerant of any sexual thing at all.
After 5 years of that seething hostility, I moved out of our room into my own. He became distant and obstinate. But underneath it all he didn't cheat (that I know of to this day) and I didn't leave, but our marriage was pretty much dead and we became roommates with a 10 year old kid.
It all came to a head one weekend in a marathon 2 hour fight. I'll spare you the ugly details, but will say that it never got physical. He said awful things about how he was no longer attracted to me and his final shot was that promise he made me swear about never taking sex away from him. I let him rage for an hour, I was sobbing and broken, and when he couldn't find another awful thing to say I asked if it was my turn. And he agreed to listen and not interrupt me, as I'd given him that courtesy to begin with.
And with that, I unloaded. That promise? We were teenagers who new nothing about real relationships or life! And I have him a news flash--I never liked sex. I faked it to Oscar worthy levels. I never saw him that way, even told him that for years, and I was the one who had to do what I didn't want to do all our marriage and he didn't even seem to care. It was my biggest effort for him, all for him, and he treated it like he was entitled to it. Why?? Money? We both work for our existence. He could have anybody? Well so could I. If he wanted to go so badly, then go. But I wasn't uprooting my or my kid's or our pets life because his penis felt neglected. That was my hour.
Five years after that fight and we're still together. It's been rough, it's not perfect, but the healing has been steady. He's come to grips with the reality of ME, and there's still love there in both our parts. It's just not physical anymore and never will be like that again.
For me, there's so much regret. I wish I knew what I was all my life. I wish I'd told him the truth from the beginning, but I didn't even understand that truth when I was 19 and worried I'd die a spinster. Had I known, would I have lived out my dreams that I gave up for a domestic lie? I have forgiven him for many things, but they still haunt me. I still have my own room and it's my haven, my nest. We have tender moments, and fight a lot less, but I still hold a bitter ember for the things he did and did. He's a good man who fell in love with the love of his life and she didn't want anything from him but to grow old with him. That should be a romcom bit in real life, it's far from it. Yet, here we are.
I'm on my new journey to grow myself in a very different world now, one that more and more people are navigating. It's so scary, yet it's freeing to finally have a name for all the feeling I never had. Sometimes I find myself wondering what "normal" is really like, but that's fading away more and more. But I know one important thing:
I don't need to be fixed anymore.

Yet, here we are.
I'm on my new journey to grow myself in a very different world now, one that more and more people are navigating. It's so scary, yet it's freeing to finally have a name for all the feeling I never had. Sometimes I find myself wondering what "normal" is really like, but that's fading away more and more. But I know one important thing:
I don't need to be fixed anymore.

2023.05.30 12:07 Relative_Practice_93 Likelihood of restraining order against me
In Aug of 2021 I (27f) signed a 12 month lease with a friend (24f). After a few weeks, she left the apartment saying she wanted to visit her mom who was unwell and that she'd return later. Later, she revealed she had no intention to return and simply felt the apartment wasn't "up to her standard of living" and that she didn't want to be in an LDR with her boyfriend. In this time, she became very hostile and verbally abusive. We also have a romantic history prior to this in which she manipulated me s*xually while I was high, and she used this to relentlessly taunt and torment me.
As I was left to deal with the lease, she refused to have any proper communication. Whenever I tried, she'd get angry and tell me to back off and leave her alone. She'd promise to keep paying rent then change her mind. She eventually stopped paying entirely. When she stopped paying, she told me that she'd file a harassment suit against me giving id been contacting her excessively. I take full responsibility for contacting her too excessively when she wanted space, but it was always in the context of needing her to communicate about some issue regarding the lease and finances. She later told me she didn't actually mean it.
We didn't speak for a few months. We had one call where she came at me blaming me for her boyfriend breaking up with her. After that call I messaged her a few times to make sure she was okay because she seemed unwell on the phone. About a month after, I asked her to resolve some issues with our WiFi and energy bill as the bills were still coming out to her name. She blocked me so I called her from a restricted number repeatedly which I also deeply regret. I gave up and spent months battling with the companies to get her name removed since she wouldn't call them herself.
At one point, I decided to go to small claims court to recover the unpaid rent as I was tired that she'd abandoned the lease and all her belongings in the apartment and refused to pay her share. I sent her a letter explaining she could go to the landlord to have him remove her from the lease, otherwise I'd have to take her to small claims over the rent. I emphasized my priority was just removing her name and would only use courts as a last resort. (This is what I was instructed to do by a lawyer). We had a short text message conversation in which she verbally abused me, saying somethings which were homophobic slurs, amongst other insults. She later apologized but then stated she had obtained legal advice and knew she could pursue a harassment suit against me. I was confused and never spoke to her again. But to one of my friends she said that she was considering filing a restraining order. I was confused because this person lies a lot so I couldn't tell if they were empty threats or not. She later contacted me and all of my friends and nobody replied since we were all busy. I emailed her asking what was wrong and 2 weeks later she called me again. It was a convo about many things but she mentioned that she went to a lawyer and knew she could get a restraining order (before, she had said harassment suit).
I guess my question is, does my behavior warrant a harassment suit or restraining order? I do recognize the errors of my ways and it's something I regret so I know on a moral level I'm wrong for my actions. But on a legal level is there any basis for this? Given the nature of the calls was always something to do with the lease, bills, her verbal abuse and her sexually manipulating me. There were moments of anger where I'd insult her, but nothing extremely abusive as some things she said. This was all a while ago and the last time I spoke to her was August 2022. The last time I contacted her repeatedly was April 2022. I'm confused on the legal basis given she was in violation of a lease, and was heavily emotionally and verbally abusive, often racist, homophobic and others. To me, this is all an overdrawn cat fight and aside from the rent money, I don't see what use the courts would be. But this is also a family of immense privilege and I still worry. I changed my number so that her and her dad can't contact me as her dad had contacted me a couple times threatening to interrupt the wifi and threatened me saying he hired a lawyer for his daughter.
Edit: both times she made legal threats were in direct response to me asking her to pay her share of the rent. Many have told me this shows it was obvious retaliation against not paying the rent but I still get paranoid.

2023.05.30 12:07 Johns3n How matchmaking smurfs ruined me and my high school friends games and what can be done?
Hello Fellow Counter-Strikers!
I would like to discuss a pressing issue that has been severely impacting my experience in CS:GO lately. The prevalence of smurfing, where highly skilled players create new accounts to dominate lower-ranked opponents, is significantly deteriorating the quality of our gaming sessions. As a group of long-term high school friends who have been connected for 20 years, but started playing together only 2 years ago during COVID lockdowns, we are deeply frustrated with the frequency of encountering smurf accounts and the subsequent imbalances it creates.
Let's delve into the frustration caused by smurfing in CS:GO. It is incredibly aggravating to witness a single player, who clearly possesses superior skills compared to the average player at our rank, singlehandedly dominate the scoreboard for their team. This vast skill discrepancy not only disrupts fair competition but also substantially reduces our chances of enjoying a balanced and engaging match. CS:GO is a team-based game that thrives on collaboration and collective effort. However, smurfing undermines these core principles, as one individual can sway the outcome of a match, leaving us feeling disheartened and demotivated.
As a group of friends who can only manage to find time for a weekly gaming session, we face unique challenges when confronted with smurf accounts. Unlike some players who can dedicate extensive hours to the game, our limited playtime prevents us from consistently honing our skills and ranking up. Smurfs exploit this situation by intentionally remaining at lower ranks while possessing significantly superior abilities. This unfair advantage not only perpetuates the skill gap but also amplifies our frustration as we struggle to compete against these highly skilled players.
The constant defeat we experience due to smurfing is incredibly demotivating. Our weekly gaming sessions are cherished moments where we come together to reconnect and have fun. However, the continuous losses inflicted by smurfs strip away the joy and satisfaction we seek from the game. This unrelenting cycle of defeat drains our motivation and raises questions about the worthiness of investing our limited time in CS:GO. Ultimately, it threatens the longevity of our gaming group and dampens the overall enthusiasm we have for the game.
Therefore, I implore the CS:GO community, game developers, and administrators to actively address the issue of smurfing. It is crucial to implement stricter measures and systems to identify and penalize smurf accounts effectively. By promoting fair matchmaking algorithms that prioritize balanced skill levels, we can alleviate the frustration caused by smurfing and maintain a healthier player base.
In conclusion, smurfing in CS:GO is significantly diminishing the game experience for dedicated players like my long-term friends and me. The presence of highly skilled smurf accounts disrupts match balance, undermines teamwork, and demoralizes us due to the overwhelming number of defeats. It is crucial that we take collective action against smurfing to restore fairness, enhance the enjoyment of the game, and foster a more positive and inclusive community and not just for those that have oceans of time to play and skip the smurfs.
Thank you for your attention and understanding. I encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences on this matter, as collective awareness and support can lead to positive change.

2023.05.30 12:07 eriel22333 How was your RFY today?
Mine was a bit meh. At first they offered me a massage gun which I really have been needing and trying to get the whole time I've been on vine but of course it was glitched out.
Other than that: - A male pump thingy (idk if I can say but if you know you know) - A plant moss support pole - Hemp seed oil patches (Would be more useful for my chronic pain if it was actually CBD oil) - Electric body scrub - 2 different printer cartridges for printers I don't own 🤷🏻♀️
Did you have any luck today?

2023.05.30 12:07 CNIS-Azerbaijan-Baku “Aliyev‘s support for Russia’s imperial policy at a time when even Russia’s closest allies are distancing themselves from it is illogical and can only be explained by a desire to strengthen solidarity among authoritarian regimes and slow down the global democratic changes that await the region."
 | “Ilham Aliyev‘s support for Russia’s imperial policy at a time when even Russia’s closest allies are distancing themselves from it is illogical and can only be explained by a desire to strengthen solidarity among authoritarian regimes and slow down the global democratic changes that await the region.” submitted by CNIS-Azerbaijan-Baku to CNIS_Baku [link] [comments] (Lack of) Human Rights and Liberties Member of Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (APFP) Salyan branch Zaur Ahmadov was detained by two civilian police officers. Azadliq newspaper reports that Ahmadov was taken to an unknown destination, and only hours later, his family was informed that he was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment. According to Ahmadov’s family, Salyan Police Department rejected their request for a meeting. Ahmadov is one of the many members of the Party who were arrested on trumped-up charges, according to human rights lawyers. One of the members of the Party, Alizamin Salayev, who has been on hunger strike for more than 110 days, was sentenced to four imprisonments despite the calls from human rights organizations for his immediate release. Governance and Corruption Sunday marked the 105th anniversary of the first democratic Republic in Azerbaijan. Despite its historical importance as the first democratic government in the Muslim world, the Azerbaijani authorities demonstrate considerably less interest in commemorating the ideals and founding fathers of the first Republic that lasted for two years between 1918-1920. While the government changed the name of the public holiday from “Republic Day” to “Independence Day” a few years ago, the state-controlled media every year devotes airtime to the glorification of the former president, Heydar Aliyev who ruled the counter from 1993 till 2003, when his son came to power after his death. Chairperson of the APFP Ali Karimli said that despite the government’s attempts to eradicate the memories of the Republic, it would not be possible to remove it from public memory. “Neither the 70-year propaganda of the Bolsheviks nor the jealousy and slander of the family rule could remove the founder of Azerbaijan’s independence from the memories of our people. We commemorate our national leader Muhammad Amin Rasulzade and our founding fathers with respect and gratitude, who did the greatest service in declaring the independence of Azerbaijan, establishing the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, keeping the national government standing for almost two years, and keeping the ideology of national independence alive even after the occupation of Azerbaijan. Long live Republican ideas, freedom, and justice! Happy Republic Day!” Chairperson of the National Council of Democratic Forces historian Jamil Hasanli said that it is “a historical irony” that after a hundred years of the establishment of the Democratic Republic in Azerbaijan, family rule prevailed. “Today is their day, not only the Republic’s birthday but also the day of the founding fathers. What an honorable people they were. Today is not only Independence Day but also Republic Day. Not every independence means Republic. Our founding fathers built the building of independence on the foundations of the Republic. It is such a great irony of history that the monarchy “celebrates” the Republic: on Independence Day and Republic Day, not the fathers of the nation who sacrificed their lives and property for the Republic, but a KGB general, communist first secretary, and Politburo member, Heydar Aliyev who fought mercilessly against that Republic, its founders, and values for nearly half a century, is on the corner of the nation’s TV channels. Such a “symbiosis” of history could hardly be found anywhere.” Member of the NCDF Tofig Yagublu said that the police intervened in the gathering of the opposition leaders in front of the Resulzade’s monument to commemorate the anniversary of the Republic. Yagublu: “Alizamin Salayev, who fights against the regime that turned the Republic into a monarchy, is spending the 111th day of his hunger strike in prison. Freedom to Alizamin Salayev. The authorities do not allow flying the flag of the European Union in Azerbaijan, which is a member of the Council of Europe. There was police intervention at Rasulzade‘s commemoration event. Today, as the National Council, we held a holiday event dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the Republic in front of the monument of Muhammad Amin Rasulzade in Novkhani. Ilham Aliyev, who once sent the ISIS flags to our rally at the Mehsul stadium, this time ordered his police to take down the flag of the European Union, which we raised at the rally. With this act, he showed that he shares the same mindset as ISIS. What else could explain the hate for the EU flag?” On Sunday, Turkey held the runoff elections, which were widely discussed by the Azerbaijani public. Meydan Tv reports that the mayor of Bolu, Turkey, Tanju Özcan appealed to Ilham Aliyev, asking him not to interfere in the elections in Turkey. According to Özcan, many Azerbaijani pro-governmental politicians are involved in the propaganda in favor of Erdogan and his Party AKP. Chairperson of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party (ADWP) Gubad Ibadoghlu said that the elections in Turkey should inspire the Azerbaijani voters to be more active in the upcoming elections. “As for the people of Azerbaijan, who have become fans of the elections in Turkey, we must force the authorities to hold free elections in Azerbaijan, at least at the level of Turkey. This should be an important problem to be solved by everyone who wants to see the future of the country bright. In this regard, the greatest responsibility falls on the political opposition and civil society. We should turn the citizens of Azerbaijan not into a group that watches the elections in other countries, but into a nation that demands the elections in its own country.” Member of the APFP Fuad Gahramanli argued that the future of democracy in Azerbaijan is much more dependent on Russia’s defeat than a governmental change in Turkey. “The main geopolitical factor affecting democratic changes in Azerbaijan is connected to Putin‘s Russia, not to Turkey. Therefore, Russia’s defeat in Ukraine will open new opportunities for us. However, in all cases, as a nation, we should bear the responsibility of fighting for our rights because in no case an external factor leads to changes in exchange for the silence of the people.” During his speech at the meeting of the Supreme Economic Council of the Eurasian Economic Union, which was held in Moscow, President Ilham Aliyev stated that Azerbaijan never had a territorial claim against any country and it desires only to achieve the opening of transport communication with the neighboring country. President’s statement was considered as the denial of his government’s previous claims about the Zangazur corridor and Armenian territorial integrity. In Azerbaijan, the opposition believes that the Eurasian Economic Union is Putin‘s project for restoring the USSR. Journalist Seymur Hezi said that Aliyev‘ ’s attendance at the meeting puts the national interests in danger. “We cannot have any future with Putin, with Putin’s Russia, or with imperialist Moscow. All these initiatives are harmful as well as inappropriate.” Chairperson of the APFP Ali Karimli also said that Aliyev‘s participation in the summit of the Eurasian Economic Union together with the leaders of Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan is “an act against the national interests”. Karimli: “I remind you that the Eurasian Union was created on the initiative of Russia as an alternative to the European Union. The presidents of Cuba and Tajikistan also participated in today’s summit of the Union in an online format. Look at the countries that Ilham Aliyev wants our country to integrate with. Russia’s participation in this imperial institution excludes integration with the European Union. The Eurasian Union, together with the CSTO, was conceived as the foundation of Putin‘s new imperial project, “USSR-2”. Ilham Aliyev‘s support for Russia’s imperial policy at a time when even Russia’s closest allies are beginning to distance themselves from it is illogical and can only be explained by a desire to strengthen solidarity among authoritarian regimes and slow down the global democratic changes that await the region. Even at a time when Russia is weakened and isolated, if Ilham Aliyev does not say no to this country’s imperial projects, imagine what would await us if Russia wins in Ukraine. The one-man rule in Azerbaijan not only takes away our rights and freedoms, not only robs our national wealth but also creates a grave threat to our state independence.” https://preview.redd.it/jeq07rxzhz2b1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=2f7fbbbcb1dbcc325507c2da783ce3cad03fe168 |

2023.05.30 12:07 JudgeGreggTheThird Career XP calculation
Since there has been a lot of confusion about the topic in the past, with myths and half truths being spread around and because there have been some changes with U14 with regards to how career XP is calculated, I'll try to provide a breakdown of how the XP system actually works.
Fundamentally all XP is (mostly) derived from the scores. The scores are divided into four categories:
A lot of the numbers are however outdated. Still, it should give a general idea of what to expect.
The sum of your score categories is called "Gameplay" in the XP breakdown. That is also the amount of XP you get for your roles. There is also "Time", which I'm not exactly sure how it is calculated but it's a negligible amount anyway.
That means that your XP is largely dependant on how much score your other squad members generate. Your Gameplay is factored in twice, since it is its own entry and you get it in the squad's total too!
For example if you placed 6 AP mines and destroyed 3 Panzer IV, your Combat effectiveness score will reflect all mines placed and tanks destroyed, in the breakdown it only counts as 1 AP mine and one Panzer IV. Since that one instance is added to your XP total you actually get XP as if you had placed 7 mines and destroyed 4 tanks.
As far as I can tell you also only get the one that is worth the most. For example if you killed 20 players and the most valuable role you killed was an Officer you'd get 9 points. If the Commander was among your victims, you'd get 12.
In both cases you technically get more than you deserve. The new system pays out a lot less XP of course, since it's only based on your own performance instead of your entire squad's. In the old system it was easy to get well over 10,000 XP for just standing around in the field, provided your squadmates built the nodes early and your SL was building garrisons like a madman. Whether or not this change is intentional I have no way to tell.
So the issue isn't that the new system is broken but that the career XP system was always broken. It's just broken in a different fashion.
There may be some inaccuracies in the writeup. Feel free to comment and correct me.

Fundamentally all XP is (mostly) derived from the scores. The scores are divided into four categories:
- Combat effectiveness - kills (amount depends on the role of the target), destroyed vehicles (again amount varies depending on the type), dismantled garrisons and OPs, dismantled structures, placement of AP and AT mines
- Offense - time spent in red territory
- Defense - time spent in blue territory
- Support - placement of OPs and garrisons, having players spawn at your constructed OPs or garrisons, building structures, placement deployables (like supplies and ammo boxes), have placed deployables being used, time spent in the driver's seat of trucks, bandaging other players, reviving other players, resource gain from constructed nodes, repairing vehicles, certain commander abilities
A lot of the numbers are however outdated. Still, it should give a general idea of what to expect.
The sum of your score categories is called "Gameplay" in the XP breakdown. That is also the amount of XP you get for your roles. There is also "Time", which I'm not exactly sure how it is calculated but it's a negligible amount anyway.
Pre U14:
You add Gameplay, Time, your squad's total Gameplay and the end of game bonuses (25% for a loss or 50% for a win plus 10% per commendation capped at 50%. These bonuses are multiplicative and do not affect role XP).That means that your XP is largely dependant on how much score your other squad members generate. Your Gameplay is factored in twice, since it is its own entry and you get it in the squad's total too!
U14:
You add Gameplay, Time and one of each instance of the cause of those scores plus the end of game bonuses.For example if you placed 6 AP mines and destroyed 3 Panzer IV, your Combat effectiveness score will reflect all mines placed and tanks destroyed, in the breakdown it only counts as 1 AP mine and one Panzer IV. Since that one instance is added to your XP total you actually get XP as if you had placed 7 mines and destroyed 4 tanks.

So, I posted a build similar to the build in the graph but I made some changes. This time it's different because I'm buying the parts next week and I need your help choosing the right parts and if I'm making the right decision. I'm prepared to cut cost on some parts like the cooler, almost all of the people that have seen this is telling me that the aio is overkill to my cpu, but when I tried to compute buying a cpu fan plus additional 3 fans to compensate for the 3 fans the aio have, it's only like 1000php less. Can you guys suggest what is a good alternative to the aio I chose. Is this a good build? I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.
This build is for light editing of photos and video's, uploading, work, streaming, and 1440p gaming, all type of games from triple A to Gameboy emulated pokemon.

2023.05.30 12:06 NoAtmosphere74 Are you proud of these 23 trans women who found success in women's sports?
I started a thread about 10 minutes ago asking if you support trans women competing in women's sports and if you are proud of your peers for their success.
So basically, all the replies so far are either attacks on me or claiming these athletes do not exist.
I ask the same question again and now I ask you if you are proud of these 23 athletes who found success in either national or international competition. There are a lot more in local schools and the list would be very long. So I am citing just the more prominent ones.
Renee Richards made it to the final of the U.S. Open in the women’s doubles category in 1977. Pro golfer Mianne Bagger won regional titles in Australia but never won a tournament championship after joining the women’s pro tour.
At the state level, Terry Miller won state titles in Connecticut — with fellow trans girl Andraya Yearwood finishing second — and also won regional New England championships.
Caroline Layt was part of a 4x200-meter team that set an Australian national record.
There are various other successful trans women who may not have won a “championship” or, including MMA fighter Fallon Fox, who won a couple bouts but lost in the final of one tournament. Alana McLaughlin has also won a professional MMA bout.

2023.05.30 12:05 umwhatdoicallthis How to keep a healthy interest in the early days of a potential relationship/dating
Hey Reddit. Sorry for the confusing tittle, wasn’t really sure what to call this post really.
I’m in the early stages of a potential relationship/dating, and they have accidentally, (very much accidentally) set off a few of my triggers which can make me split, such as disappearing at night without saying they’re going to sleep or anything like that, suddenly shorter replies/seeming a bit off, and seeming less interested romantically (I know i’m overthinking this as they are genuinely just busy).
How do I communicate these issues on early so they’re aware but in a way to keep the relationship between us strong and healthy, without hurting their feelings about it? When they do these things it has made me nearly split and I can be a bit emotional and not fun to be around or talk to when it happens, so I’m worried that i’ve also gone on about my feelings too much, being a bit depressive and emotional unintentionally trying to communicate my feelings, which can be jarring since it can be so sudden, like they told me. I want to just be able to communicate my feelings properly rather just like venting??
Also just getting used to people being busy, when I split I tend to convince that they’re intentionally busy or “if they wanted to, they would” mindset, which can make me worry when my texts aren’t replied to or late when they’re genuinely just busy.
